The princes have a cautious attitude towards war, but what they want to do is to gain more benefits from the war, preferably the kind that can make their own strength grow more from the war.

There are many princes who have such ideas, but very few of them can actually succeed in implementing them.

Only the princes with strong strength can win the battle after battle, so that the strength of the soldiers in the army can be improved to a greater extent.

Among the princes, Lu Bu is definitely a terrifying existence, because Lu Bu has mastered the method of making hundreds of refined weapons.

In the past, Lu Bu sold a lot of hundred-refined weapons to the princes. This shows that Lu Bu's methods are not as simple as they appear on the surface. If Lu Bu is forced to rush, the ensuing revenge must be crazy.

It would not be surprising if there were more Hundred Refined Weapons in Lu Bu's army.

Lieutenants and soldiers have a cautious attitude when facing a war, especially when the enemy's strength is too strong, they will be more cautious when fighting on the battlefield, because once a war breaks out, The impact it can have is simply too great.

For the lieutenant generals, what kind of equipment they will have when fighting is also crucial. With more sophisticated weapons and armor, they will be more relaxed in the face of war.

On this point, whether it is the Jingzhou army or the army under Yuan Shu's command, there is a big gap compared with the army under Lu Bu's command. Both Liu Biao and Yuan Shu understand what is going on.

Of course, this also became the reason why Yuan Shu desperately wanted to break through Xuzhou.

When Lv Bu's strength becomes stronger and stronger, the impact it can bring is predictable, especially after Lv Bu has achieved greater achievements among the princes, if he wants to win from Lv Bu, he will Even more difficult.

Facts have proved that it is not accidental that Lv Bu was able to achieve such a success in Xuzhou, which has a lot to do with the means used by Lv Bu.

If Lu Bu's development cannot be curbed better, Yuan Shu will suffer from it in the future.

After realizing this point, Yuan Shu wanted to eradicate Lu Bu even more urgently, in order to get more benefits from Lu Bu's hands and strengthen his own strength.

As for the alliance with Liu Biao, it was just a means to deal with Lu Bu. As long as such means can be successful, even if it is criticized by others, it is worthwhile in Yuan Shu's view.

Besides, when his strength became stronger, how could other people have more discussions, and the name of the Yuan family with four generations and three princes behind him made it easier for Yuan Shu to be recognized when he was doing things among the princes.

The crusade against Lv Bu this time has placed an important position for Yuan Shu. After defeating Lv Bu, he will gain not only benefits, but also a good reputation. In the face of such a temptation, no prince can remain calm of.

Liu Biao glanced around at Cai Mao and the others and said, "You have also seen the attitude of the Xuzhou envoy today. It seems that Lu Bu will spare no expense to win over me."

Kuai Yue hurriedly said: "My lord, this may be Lu Bu's conspiracy. Lu Bu has very strict control over the method of making the Hundred Refined Weapon. If Lu Bu is unwilling to hand over the method after joining forces with Lu Bu, wouldn't it be let The lord's reputation has been damaged?"

Cai Hao expressed a different opinion, "My lord, from the point of view of my subordinates, maybe it was Lu Bu who sensed the tense situation, so he tried to win over the lord at all costs. If he can get the forging method of the hundred-refined weapon in advance, it will be very important for the soldiers in the army." Speaking of which, it’s a big deal.”

Liu Biao nodded slightly. He didn't understand the meaning of Cai Mao's words, "Don't underestimate Lv Bu if you think that he is a general. Then Lv Bu was able to achieve what he has achieved in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, but his methods are extraordinary. Before confirming the attitude of the alliance, Lu Bu will definitely not hand over the making method of the Hundred Refined Weapon to me."

Chapter 744 I'm afraid it will cause more shocks

The three of them agree with Liu Biao's statement, but whoever becomes a vassal is not a simple person. Lu Bu has achieved the current achievements in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, but he has experienced a lot of turmoil. Compared with Liu Biao's face in Jingzhou The situation is much more dangerous.

However, Lu Bu's achievements in Xuzhou and Yanzhou are obvious to all. If Lu Bu continues to develop like this, it will only take a few years at most to form an absolute suppression of Yuan Shu and Liu Biao in the surrounding area. This is what Liu Biao is worried about.

The situation in Jingzhou is relatively stable. Although there are some internal troubles, these internal troubles are nothing to worry about. The key is how to completely stabilize Jingzhou in the troubled times.

The feudal lords have a prying heart for Jingzhou, which is inevitable. Anyone who sees this piece of fat in Jingzhou wants to step forward and take a bite.

Lv Bu was powerful among the princes, and he also had enough means in war. Such a prince was beside him, but it made Liu Biao restless.

"However, it is absolutely impossible to unite with Lu Bu. Lu Bu's move is to restrain me, and I want to prevent me from doing more in Jingzhou. If I unite with Lu Bu, I will not be able to obtain the forging method of the hundred-refined weapon. , don't tell me I'm still going to fail again and again, this will only make the heroes of the world laugh at me." Liu Biao said slowly.

Kuai Liang clasped his hands and said, "My lord is wise, this is clearly what Lu Bu did on purpose. He wanted to get the lord's alliance, but he didn't want to pay the benefits in advance."

Kuai Yue also echoed: "After the lord has expressed his position, there is absolutely no reason to regret it. Now Lu Bu is afraid and wants to make friends with the lord. As long as Xuzhou is breached, the secrets of Xuzhou's craftsman's workshop will definitely be revealed." into the hands of the lord."

Seeing that Liu Biao had already decided on such things, Cai Mao could only sigh secretly. Once the war started, it would be a nightmare for the lieutenant soldiers, and how much the Jingzhou Army could do on the battlefield.

Just relying on the strength of the Jingzhou army, it is not an easy task to break through Yanzhou. Besides, it is Yuan Shu's army that attacked Xuzhou. Will they willingly share the benefits with Liu Biao after they break through Xuzhou?

Lu Bu's reputation among the princes is not good, which also determines that it must be extremely difficult for Lu Bu to win over Liu Biao.

Even so, Liu Biao and others can feel that because Xuzhou sent envoys, some officials in Jingzhou have more ideas. These officials may be for the benefit of the family, but Liu Biao cannot tolerate such a move of.

At the critical moment, the families in Jingzhou had to stand together to resist the enemy, how could they do things to go along with the enemy.

"Yiedu and Zirou should pay more attention to the officials of Jingzhou during this time. If they have other actions in secret, there is no need to tolerate them." Liu Biao said solemnly.

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue said yes. It seems that Liu Biao has made up his mind on Lu Bu. They also know that Liu Biao is under a lot of pressure in Jingzhou to do this. If the attack on Yanzhou cannot be successful, Liu Biao's prestige in Jingzhou will suffer a huge blow.

Even some people who are secretly dissatisfied with Liu Biao will take the opportunity to jump out.

The powerful Liu Biao is not monolithic under his command. With the rise of the family, there must be families who are dissatisfied with Liu Biao. Especially when Jingzhou is developing rapidly, powerful families such as the Cai family and the Kuai family took the opportunity to annex many small family.

Such things are extremely normal among aristocratic and wealthy families, but how can a family whose strength has been lost will calm down.

Liu Biao is good at balancing the interests of the families, but it is simply impossible to balance the interests of all the families. Where there are families, there will be fights. The way it is handled is the most important thing.

The progress of the war is a good opportunity for the princes, and it is often necessary to take the opportunity to rectify the rule.

From Lu Bu's past actions, it can be seen that when the war is over, many families will inevitably decline. These families have many constraints during the war.

And when the monarch wins on the battlefield, his own prestige can be greatly improved, and then it is no problem to eradicate some officials who secretly violated orders, even if the families behind these officials have opinions. Because of the power of the monarch, he dare not show it.

If Liu Biao wants to control more power in Jingzhou, he must take action. Liu Biao is very clear about this matter.

"My lord, since Li Su came to Jingzhou, there are many secret means. If Li Su is allowed to continue in Jingzhou like this, it may cause more shocks." Kuai Liang worried.

Originally, he didn't pay much attention to Li Su's arrival, but through Li Su's actions, he could sense that Lu Bu also had a lot of power in Jingzhou, and these hidden methods could play a role at critical moments. The effect is great.

"It's okay, it's not easy for Li Su to do something in Xiangyang City." Liu Biao waved his hand.

Driving away one party's envoys is not good-looking after all, and it seems that the princes do not have the corresponding tolerance. Liu Biao, who pays more attention to his own face, will naturally not do such a thing.

After the three left, Liu Biao fell into contemplation. This war is imperative and can only be successful. The influence of the Han Dynasty has been greatly reduced among the princes, and Lu Bu was eradicated. After such a traitor, the princes of the world can be shaken.

If the Han Dynasty can be revitalized one day, then it is not what Liu Biao wants to see. Anyway, he is also a member of the Liu family, and he does not want the foundation of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years to decline like this.

However, Liu Biao's influence among the princes is limited. It is impossible to get more response from the princes just by relying on Liu Biao's appeal. Moreover, after Lu Bu develops, he will inevitably have thoughts about Jingzhou.

Facing Lu Bu who is as fierce as a wolf and has means, Liu Biao does not have enough confidence. In this case, it is better to unite with Yuan Shu to eradicate Lu Bu first.

As for the relationship with Yuan Shu after eradicating Lu Bu, it is not something Liu Biao needs to consider for the time being. In this battle, Liu Biao will also be secretly prepared. Even if Yuan Shu wants to turn his face after success, Liu Biao will not. would agree.

Chapter 745

As a prince of one party, if there is no certain means in the dark, how can the rule be stabilized.

Lu Bu relied on tyrannical means to stabilize the situation in Yanzhou and Xuzhou. Such a move was too rough in Liu Biao's view. Although it could be effective in a short period of time, if something unexpected happens, the previous efforts may be worthless. will disappear.

Lu Bu's foundation in Yanzhou and Xuzhou is unstable, and this is the best opportunity.

When the Jingzhou army successfully occupied Jingzhou, Liu Biao's influence among the princes would be greatly improved.

Lu Bu was a well-known existence among the princes. To be honest, Liu Biao did not have enough confidence in the battle against Lu Bu. In fact, Liu Biao knew what the consequences would be if the war failed.

But in this matter, Liu Biao did not want to choose another path, and eradicating Lu Bu with the most severe means was in the interests of Jingzhou's future development.

After using the corresponding means, Liu Biao can use his fists better after Jingzhou has a higher right to speak. At that time, Liu Biao will let more people understand that he is not a stubborn person. When opportunities arise, he is Something will happen.

There was absolutely no pressure in righteousness to fight against Lu Bu. At this time, Lu Bu was completely suppressed by righteousness, and scholars of letters criticized Lu Bu verbally and in writing. This kind of situation was exactly what Liu Biao wanted to see.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that Liu Biao had no intention of calling again, Li Su shook his head and left.

It seems that the bargaining chips thrown before did not tempt Liu Biao. As long as Liu Biao bowed his head in front of such benefits, the rest of the matter would be much easier. When Liu Biao sent envoys to Xuzhou, it would have a great meaning different.

At that time, even if there is some cooperation between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, they will feel apprehensive. The alliance should not be mixed with other factors.

Just like the previous alliance between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, both parties are clear about how unstable this alliance is, but after such an agreement, both parties can feel relatively at ease.

The alliance between the princes is not like this.

The point is that the alliance between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao is for the purpose of attacking Lu Bu. Such an alliance requires more trust between each other. In the past, there was indeed a grudge between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, but now sincere cooperation requires mutual trust.

In this way, it will be more smooth after the war is fully launched.

If not, after one party puts in the effort, the other party enjoys the results. Such things will always make people feel unbalanced.

Xuzhou sent envoys to Jingzhou, how could Yuan Shu have no means of monitoring secretly.

It is good that Yuan Shu has a good reputation among the princes, but Yuan Shu is cautious enough when fighting against Lu Bu. After all, when he confronted Lu Bu before, he ended in failure. If you are cautious, you may repeat the same mistakes.

Such things are not what Yuan Shu wants to see, and it is necessary to confirm the alliance relationship between the two parties.

And Li Su was quite satisfied to see Liu Biao, especially when he dropped such a heavy bargaining chip in front of Jingzhou's civil servants and generals.

One day, if the Jingzhou Army's war is not smooth enough, it is inevitable that someone will use this matter to criticize Liu Biao. Even though Liu Biao has a lot of influence in Jingzhou, he needs to be more cautious when dealing with this matter.

The aristocratic families in Jingzhou are not easy to get along with in some things.

The stable Jingzhou has bred many aristocratic families. If the power of these families is united in secret, it will definitely cause a great shock in Jingzhou.

The reason why Liu Biao was cautious when governing Jingzhou was that he was afraid that some actions would offend more aristocratic families. At that time, no matter how capable Liu Biao was, it would not be easy to do something.

And when Lu Bu governed the city, he had different means.

This is also where Li Su's heart is drawn to Lu Bu. Since some families cannot be used by him and have other actions in secret, it is good to just eradicate them directly. As for the impact that such actions will bring to a certain extent, they can also bring greater benefits to the aristocratic and powerful families. The deterrent, let them understand who is the monarch.

Li Su is quite satisfied with the current achievements of the mission to Jingzhou. After some officials in Jingzhou have other ideas in their hearts, they will give certain obstacles to Liu Biao when he sends troops.

Don't underestimate the influence of civil servants. It's hard to guarantee that the family they belong to will not have anyone in the army.

The power of the aristocratic families is reflected in their meddling in military and official affairs.

Things like this are different under Lu Bu's rule. The purity of the soldiers in the army allows Lu Bu to have no more worries when doing certain things. If some families want to reach out to the affairs of the army, Lu Bu will Cut off their hands without mercy.

Matters in the army are of great importance. The monarch has a stable position under the rule, which has a lot to do with the support of the soldiers in the army.

For Lu Bu to be able to achieve his current achievements in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, the support of the officers and men in the army is extremely crucial. If the officers and men of the army are recruited by the aristocratic family, there will be many difficulties in Lu Bu's actions under the rule.

This kind of Lu Bu actually has a great influence on the princes. When they deal with Lu Bu, they must have a more cautious attitude. If they are not cautious enough in handling some things, they may even attract Lu Bu. revenge.

The current situation in Yanzhou and Xuzhou is indeed tense, but the families in the two states are relatively well-behaved at this time. Before the situation is completely clear, they are unwilling to do other things. The choice comes.

And this also has the trust in Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's great reputation among the princes was obtained through the victory of the war. Even if Liu Biao and Yuan Shu are extremely powerful after they are united, it will not be easy to really benefit from Lu Bu's hands. If they If the alliance cannot be successful, it will bring about the further growth of Lu Bu's strength. At that time, Lu Bu will become a terrible existence among the princes.

And the family that steadfastly followed Lu Bu would receive more attention in such a war, and could even leave a deep impression in Lu Bu's mind.

Chapter 746

When Lv Bu governed the city, his methods were not clever, but in terms of strength, he was recognized by some families.

In troubled times, it is very necessary for the princes to have strong strength. If they do not even have the corresponding means when facing other princes, it is not easy to do more in the era of the rise of princes.

A monarch like Lu Bu, in fact, as long as his family tries his best to assist him, he will definitely get a lot of attention. The key is to see how some families view this aspect of things.

After leaving the State Shepherd's Mansion, Li Jue said: "Weigong is in the State Shepherd's Mansion today, but he is very majestic. After this matter spreads to Xuzhou, he will definitely be appreciated by Marquis Wen."

Li Su smiled and said: "Zhiran is also good. This matter is almost over. The Jingzhou officials who secretly contacted can still play a role at the critical moment. As expected, Liu Biao is determined to attack. Yanzhou's determination."

Speaking of this, the smile on Li Su's face subsided. Once the war broke out, Li Su knew how much harm it would do to Yanzhou. If the Yanzhou army could not win the battle against the Jingzhou army, the situation would be serious For Lu Bu, it will be even more critical.

The current situation in Yanzhou and Xuzhou is relatively stable, but behind the stability, how many dangers are hidden?

However, Li Su also knew that such a matter was not something he could consider at his level. The most important thing was to properly handle the matter of going to Jingzhou as an envoy.

This night was not peaceful for Li Su. If the assassins sneaked in, if they hadn't been secretly protected by Wang Yue's forces, or just relying on the guards, Li Su must have died.

Even so, Li Su's left arm was also injured.

Although the injury is not very serious, such a thing happened in Xiangyang City, which is enough to cause quite a shock. Li Su is an envoy from Xuzhou, representing Lu Bu's face. Could it be that he was assassinated in the city because of Liu Biao? He wanted to get rid of Li Su secretly.

It has to be said that Li Su's ability is quite outstanding. In a short period of time in Jingzhou, he can put a lot of pressure on Liu Biao. If such a character continues to stay in Jingzhou, it will indeed be disadvantageous to Jingzhou.

It may be a better way to eradicate it as soon as possible.

However, Li Su did not die in this assassination. Instead, it was the assassin who was in charge of the assassination, and three people were killed.

When the news came out, the officials in the city were shocked. Li Su had an important position at this time. It was a small matter to kill Li Su. The key was that there was Lu Bu behind Li Su.

After thoroughly angering Lu Bu, the situation between the two parties will become more delicate.

The strength of the Jingzhou Army is good, and the Yanzhou Army, which has been formed for a long time, cannot be underestimated.

It would be absolutely stupid to not pay enough attention to Lu Bu during the battle.
