After all, after the number of cities under the rule increases, it is very difficult to achieve complete control over the rule. If the appointed officials have other problems, it will be a big trouble for the monarch.

It is difficult for poor scholars to get enough attention in a short period of time after taking refuge in one of the princes. Otherwise, even the officials under the princes' original rule would not agree to this matter.

Being born in a poor family means that he will suffer a lot of rejection. Guo Jia has a deep understanding of this point, but after coming to Xuzhou, the feelings in this aspect are not so deep.

Although Lu Bu was indeed a bit cruel in his methods when he was governing the local area, he gave a lot of trust to the talents who sincerely took refuge in him. It's good to see this.

The monarch has such courage, in fact, it has many benefits for the development of the ruler.

If the princes have a lot of worries when facing their courtiers, and even have secret precautions, once they are noticed by the courtiers, they will inevitably be more careful and lack the pioneering spirit.

When Lv Bu was in Xuzhou, sometimes he acted like a shopkeeper who threw away his hands. He handed over the affairs of Xuzhou to Jia Xu and others.

This kind of situation shows that the monarch has absolute trust in the officials under his rule. Such trust is not easy. As a subject, after feeling the importance of the monarch, he will be more careful when doing things. Work hard and earnestly to repay the monarch's attention.

Such things are normal among literati.

It's just that although Lu Bu has such courage, it is too difficult to get the approval of more literati, mainly because the impression of Lu Bu in their minds has already been settled, relying on the power in his hands to bully others The feudal lords disdain the orders of the court.

Chapter 753 The benefits are not as simple as imagined

Wait, anyway, as long as it has a bad reputation, it will be put on Lu Bu. This kind of thing is quite common among the princes. When a prince has a bad reputation, they will find a way to make the prince's reputation worse.

Because only after the reputation of this prince becomes worse, other princes can find an excuse to attack this prince, and thus get corresponding benefits.

Such things are relatively normal among the princes.

What's more, Lu Bu's reputation is not very good. Even if he is criticized, can it be said that Lu Bu will not resist? If Lu Bu resists, it will be a real joke.

When dealing with literati, Lu Bu was not more polite, and would not say that the role of literati was ignored because of the abuse of literati, and the recruitment order still had an effect.

This shows that while some literati are scolding themselves, they still want to get their own attention.

As long as the literati have shortcomings, it is a good thing in Lu Bu's view. When their own strength becomes stronger, can these literati who observe secretly maintain a calm mind.

Even if a literati has a certain talent, it is not easy to get enough attention under the rule of the princes. Under the rule of the princes, there are often many talents. These talents can rise under the rule of the princes. It shows that they are unique.

Some scholars are backed by strong family power. It is unbearable for ordinary people to offend the power of these families. Even when some monarchs face scholars, why do they have so many? Being polite is not about how much talent this scholar has, but that this scholar has the support of family power behind him. If he does not pay enough attention to this scholar, it may be the family behind this scholar who attracts him.

Such things are not uncommon among aristocratic families.

However, when Lu Bu developed his rule, he did not intentionally recruit these arrogant scholars. They had powerful families behind them as support. This alone made Lu Bu more vigilant.

When you have more families under your rule, but you can't use them for yourself, you will know what it feels like.

The power of the family is strong, this is true, if the family has other actions under the rule of the princes, will it be punished accordingly, especially for some powerful families.

When they do something secretly, if the monarch has the means of punishment, it will inevitably lead to resistance from the family, and then they will spread bad words about the monarch, and even cause a lot of influence on the princes.

Of course, if some families sincerely seek refuge, Lu Bu will accept it.

However, a truly powerful family would not make a choice at this time. Who put Lu Bu at an absolute disadvantage at present.

If the Xuzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army can win this battle, Lu Bu's reputation among the princes will definitely increase. Even a powerful family will not dare to be more arrogant when facing Lu Bu , This is the benefit of absolute strength.

War is an opportunity for the princes. It is for this reason that when the monarch can grasp the war well, he can get corresponding benefits from the war.

Even after the victory of the war, it can bring more stability to the people under the rule, and convince some dissatisfied officials. This is the charm of war.

Even so, some princes are secretive when it comes to war, because once the war starts, the impact on the princes' rule is too great. If there is no suitable way to deal with these things, it will make people The strength of the princes suffered a great loss.

War is not what princes want to see, but what princes want is victory in war.

"After arriving in Yanzhou, discuss many matters with Wenyuan and Gongtai." Lu Bu urged.

Guo Jia bowed his hands and said yes, he knew that the mission to Yanzhou this time would definitely not be easy. When the war started, the Yanzhou side would most likely face the Jingzhou army. This is also the easiest place for Yuan Shu and Liu Biao to break through. .

After all, Xuzhou was the place Lu Bu first occupied, and it was the focus of Lu Bu's rule, and Yanzhou occupied it for a short time, and there must be unstable factors in it. It is reasonable for Lu Bu to attach more importance to Xuzhou.

"My lord, the land of Xuzhou is the most important thing to rule. The Yanzhou army has 4 soldiers and horses. Why don't you send some troops to Xuzhou, so that the people of Xuzhou can feel more at ease." Guo Jia suggested.

Lu Bu shook his head and said: "Feng Xiao, if this Marquis does this, what kind of thoughts will the officials of Yanzhou have? Ben Hou is the lord of Xuzhou and Yanzhou. In times of war, this Marquis will not abandon Yanzhou either."

"My lord is wise." Guo Jia cupped his hands.

Lu Bu patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and said, "It's not so easy for Feng Xiao to go to Yanzhou. Find the right opportunity to defeat the Jingzhou army. If the Jingzhou army's attack is frustrated, I want to set off a bigger wave in Yanzhou." The turmoil in this situation is simply impossible, what Ben Hou wants Liu Ming to understand is that it is not as simple as imagined to get benefits from Ben Hou."

"Here." Guo Jia saluted.

Lu Bu's appointment is exactly in line with Guo Jia's psychology. If he can only be beaten passively when facing the army, such a thing will inevitably make people feel uncomfortable. If he can take the initiative to attack, the situation will be very different Yes, the Yanzhou Army has [-] people.

There is no doubt about the strictness of the training of [-] soldiers and horses. Zhang Liao, as an important leader under Lu Bu's command, will definitely not slack in training soldiers.

If the Yanzhou army can be as elite as the Xuzhou army, there will be more room for display on the battlefield.

Even if the Jingzhou army is outstanding in the battle, so what, Guo Jia will let the Jingzhou army understand that when the two armies are fighting, the superiority in numbers is of course important, but the influence of certain aspects cannot be ignored.

Guo Jia has a certain degree of confidence in his own resourcefulness.

"If the Yanzhou Army needs it at that time, the Xiaoqi Battalion under the Marquis' command will make a long-distance attack and cooperate with it," Lu Bu said.

Chapter 754 It will definitely boost the morale of the Xuzhou Army

Guo Jia was excited. He knew that going to the Yanzhou army this time would definitely have a lot of difficulties. If he could overcome these difficulties and stop the attack of the Jingzhou army, he would occupy an even stronger position under Lu Bu's command. Important weight. It is not an easy task for literati to increase their influence in the army, and often requires more efforts. Guo Jia is a resourceful man, and he has confidence in his own strategy.

After having greater prestige in the army, it is inevitable that the monarch will have certain fears, but in this matter, Guo Jia has no more fears.

Lu Bu himself is a general, and his influence among the generals in the army cannot be compared with that of literati. Nowadays, the generals in the army have a lot of awe when they talk about Lu Bu. It is precisely because of Lu Bu that their way of life has changed. Great changes have taken place, and deep down in their hearts, they have a lot of gratitude to Lu Bu.

As for doing things that are unfavorable to Lu Bu, the generals in the army will definitely not choose.

In the Xuzhou Army or the Yanzhou Army, what they saw was the hope of promotion after hard work, which did not happen under the rule of other princes.

The systems of the Xuzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army make the lieutenants work harder during training, and they also want to improve their status through training.

It is Wen Hou Lu Bu who has given the lieutenant soldiers everything today. It is the former lieutenant generals who talk about Lu Bu with more respect, and when they face Lu Bu, they are more fanatical.

On the battlefield, if an order from Lu Bu is issued, it is foreseeable what kind of fierce reaction it will cause in the army.

This kind of situation is also what Lu Bu wants to see the most. As the commander-in-chief of the Xuzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army, if the lieutenant soldiers do not have more respect for themselves, it will definitely not be helpful for future affairs.

Only by letting the lieutenants have more gratitude and respect when facing themselves, will they not have more violations when facing the orders they have issued, and will be out-and-out execution.

For the development of Xuzhou Army and Yanzhou Army, Lu Bu has made a lot of efforts.

It is unimaginable for such efforts to be placed on other princes. It is absolutely unacceptable for a prince to pay so much for the development of his army.

From Lu Bu's words, what Jia Xu and others could feel was Lu Bu's determination to face this war.

Since war will inevitably break out, there is no need for Lu Bu to retreat when facing the enemy.

"My lord, Liu Bei and Kong Rong are also hidden dangers. If they send troops at a critical moment, they will inevitably restrain the strength of the Xuzhou army." Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "This matter is simple. The two of them are just the defeated generals of this Marquis. If they dare to make other moves, Ben Marquis will lead the elite cavalry to attack, making it difficult for them to get close to Xuzhou."

"My lord's move will definitely raise the morale of the Xuzhou army." Jia Xu said.

In June of the fifth year of Chuping, it was an important moment for Lu Bu, because after Liu Biao and Yuan Shu publicly condemned Lu Bu, they began to dispatch troops and generals with the obvious purpose of solving Lu Bu through war. .

Since Lu Bu arrived in Xuzhou, it has caused quite a stir among the princes. The main reason is that Lu Bu has elite soldiers and horses under his command, which provides more possibilities for Lu Bu to stabilize Xuzhou and occupy Yanzhou.

If Lu Bu was given more time, it is hard to guarantee that Lu Bu would not have more actions. Who made Lu Bu's soldiers and horses too elite.

When Lu Bu's existence had a great influence on the princes, it would trigger the princes' next actions.

Lu Bu's occupation of Xuzhou had a great influence on the princes themselves. The situation of the princes, even because of the rise of Lu Bu, has undergone considerable changes.

What they can foresee is that when Lu Bu's strength develops by leaps and bounds, what kind of impact will it have on the surrounding princes.

With the support of the Xuzhou Craftsman Workshop, Lu Bu's development speed among the princes is unmatched by other princes. Not only does he have a powerful army on the surface, but he also has Wang Yue to help him secretly. Such a prince is too much. Terrible.

The combination of Yuan Shu and Liu Biao made Lu Bu see his unlucky side.

At the same time, Xuzhou's actions also started. After the orders were issued, Xuzhou's army began to mobilize, and the generals in the army also rushed to various places after receiving the mission.

War is not a small challenge for the generals in the army, but it is also the arrival of opportunities. It is the most strange thing to follow Lu Bu if there is no war. When Lu Bu is facing a war, he has always There is no fear.

Lu Bu's victories on the battlefield are a great encouragement to the soldiers under his command. When they can gain more benefits by following Lu Bu, they will have more respect for Lu Bu and respect for Lu Bu. Orders will have more obedience.

The current speed of development of the Xuzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army is dreadful to the princes. Give Lv Bu more time, and Lv Bu will grow into the most terrifying existence among the princes.

No prince can ignore the current Lu Bu.

As for how much Lu Bu can do in this confrontation, it is also guessed by many princes.

If Lu Bu wins, it will definitely be very bad news for Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Yuan Shu, a son of the Yuan family. They have put in a lot of effort for this war.

Once Lu Bu cannot be restrained and defeated, Lu Bu's crazy revenge will definitely follow.

When it comes to the recovery speed of the army, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu are far behind Lu Bu.

Xuzhou's business brought a lot of wealth to Lu Bu, and with the support of strong financial resources, Lu Bu grew up at a terrible speed among the princes.

The reason why Yuan Shu was more cautious when facing Lu Bu was because Yuan Shu's previous attack on Xuzhou ended in failure. Instead of gaining benefits from Lu Bu's hands, Yuan Shu lost troops and lost generals.

It is impossible to conceal more about the mobilization of soldiers and horses under the command of the three princes, and Liu Biao and Yuan Shu have publicly denounced Lu Bu before. At this time, what they need to do is to let their own troops stand on the moral high ground.

Although Xuzhou Daily has taken some actions in this process, the effect is not satisfactory.

Chapter 755

After all, it was difficult to completely conceal what Lu Bu had done before. It was expected that Liu Biao and Yuan Shu would use this incident as an excuse to attack Lu Bu.

The Xuzhou Newspaper can play a certain role in public opinion, but as for the key role, it has not been well reflected.

The literati and the princes have a cautious attitude when dealing with this war. First of all, they have a clear attitude. Supporting the just actions of Yuan Shu and Liu Biao is the choice of many princes.

After all, Lv Bu's reputation among the princes was determined before, and it was even more difficult for Lv Bu to gain the advantage of reputation in the battle against Yuan Shu and Liu Biao.

Even Yuan Shao, the leader of the princes and alliance, did not express his attitude at this time, which shows that Yuan Shao has a lot of fears about this matter.

Lu Bu's strength is good, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao stand at the highest point of morality, if they are not more cautious when facing this matter, it will have a great impact on their reputation.

When the princes do something, they will inevitably consider the influence of reputation, especially when the powerful princes like Yuan Shao have a better reputation, they will have more reputation when doing some things. It is convenient, and at the same time, more talents can be trusted.

The troubled times have arrived, and how many talents the princes have under their command is also the capital for them to compete with other princes in the troubled times.

With more talents, there will be more help when doing some things. The reason why Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were able to occupy a great advantage in the early days of the feudal lords' war is because of the reputation of the Yuan family. No small effect.

More talents, because of the reputation of the Yuan family, went to seek refuge with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu one after another, allowing Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to greatly improve their strength in a short period of time.

Nowadays, the Yuan family brothers still have great influence among the princes, and the princes also need to have a cautious attitude when facing these two people.

The Yuan family has a very important position among the princes of the world, and even after the two brothers join forces, they can run rampant among the princes.

However, there are many grievances and grievances between the two brothers, which inevitably makes the situation of the big man more turbulent.

The eyes of more princes turned to Xuzhou. What kind of performance the Xuzhou army under the command of Lu Bu will perform in this war is of great importance.

At the time when the soldiers and horses were mobilized, Yuan Shu's proclamation spread to the princes, counting Lv Bu's crimes over and over again, and prepared to send troops to attack Lv Bu.

The princes have already prepared for such a thing, and the shock it brings is not very great.

Just after Yuan Shu, Liu Biao also published the same proclamation, which spread throughout the princes

The combined influence of Yuan Shu and Liu Biao will be great. Liu Biao is a powerful vassal, and so is Yuan Shu. The two men have more than 20 soldiers and horses together. This is probably a battle for the princes Since then, it has been the biggest campaign ever.

As the main target of the battle, Lu Bu was also secretly dispatching troops at this time to ensure that Xuzhou would have a better response after the war came.

It can be said that this battle was beyond Lu Bu's expectations. Who would have thought that Yuan Shu would join forces with Liu Biao this year after his defeat in the battle, and together send troops to attack Xuzhou and Yanzhou?

Regardless of the outcome of this battle, the development of Xuzhou and Yanzhou will be greatly affected by the progress of the war, which is also a certainty.

Under the war, the people are in dire straits, especially when the war lasts for a long time, the harm to the people is huge.

The Xuzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army have strict military discipline, and they will not have an overbearing attitude when dealing with the people. The same thing will be different under the rule of other princes. The people are just the bottom of the existence. If you get the corresponding benefits in your hands, it is naturally the best thing.

As for the life and death of the common people in the troubled times, it is beyond the consideration of the soldiers in the army. Although many soldiers are from the common people, when they become soldiers in the army, their mentality will change. In the middle of the battle, they themselves have to bear a lot of pressure. If they can get the chance to be released, how can these soldiers give up.

Especially when the war begins, the soldiers at the bottom are the most prone to casualties.
