The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Chapter 759 The So-Called Kindness

In the hands of Lu Bu, there are many things that the princes yearn for. In order to get these things, some princes even pay no hesitating price.

Xu You felt bad about being left idle in Pengcheng by Lu Bu like this. After coming to Pengcheng as Yuan Shao's envoy, he must have freedom, and some officials also have enough respect when interacting with him.

Behind Xu You is Yuan Shao. Compared with the strength of other princes, Yuan Shao is not weak. After occupying Jizhou, Yuan Shao wants to do more, but it is actually relatively simple. At least the difficulties he faces Much less than Lu Bu.

Being able to get involved with members of the Yuan family is of great help to some families, and can even make them more excited.

However, some families also know that Lu Bu is wary of Yuan Shao. Even if they want to maintain a certain relationship with Xu You, they need to be more cautious. I'm afraid there will be more troubles coming.

Lu Bu had a domineering attitude when governing Xuzhou. It was precisely because of Lu Bu's domineering attitude that more families did not dare to violate Lu Bu's orders.

The power from the monarch even made more officials to be cautious when doing things, lest they would cause more trouble to the family after provoking Lu Bu in some aspects.

Lu Bu didn't summon him, and Xu You still had a lot of activities in the city, but he knew too little about the craftsman's workshop.

Under the influence of Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, it was simply impossible for Lu Bu to go smoothly when he was under the rule.

Even the number of people going to Xuzhou to do business has dropped sharply. Businessmen face many difficulties in doing business in troubled times.

At this time, even if you want to go to Xuzhou to do business, you must be cautious. Not only the safety on the way, but also the treatment you will receive after returning to the princes, you also need to consider it.

Nowadays, many princes have a critical attitude towards Lu Bu. In their eyes, Lu Bu is an out-and-out traitor.

After the number of merchants decreased, some people in Pengcheng also had to change their lifestyles accordingly.

At this time, Pengcheng was still bustling with people, but the overall atmosphere was a bit dignified. The shouts of killing troops outside the city during training reassured the people in the city a lot. This made them think of the glory of the Xuzhou Army on the battlefield. record.

There was no movement, Xu You couldn't hold back, and begged to see Lu Bu again.

Lu Bu, who was dealing with government affairs, was slightly surprised when he heard the news that the guards had come out. Xu You begged to see him at this moment?

Xu You's words and deeds after coming to Xuzhou all show that if he wants to get Yuan Shao's support, he has to pay a certain price for such support, and the best price is the production method of Hundred Refined Weapons.

Although the production methods of immortal jade, immortal drunkenness, and paper are important, having the forging method of hundred-refined weapons can help the generals and soldiers quickly improve their own strength.

Lv Bu's current situation is indeed not very good, so if it is put on Yuan Shao's body, why not.

Gongsun Zan had a prying heart towards Jizhou, and he wanted to get the promised city from Yuan Shao. However, Yuan Shao, after becoming the shepherd of Jizhou, ignored this matter, and even had a tough face when he asked Gongsun Zan to ask for it. Attitude.

Under such circumstances, how could Gongsun Zan, who had always been proud and arrogant, endure such uselessness.

So what if Yuan Shao is the leader of the princes and alliance.

Both sides refused to give an inch. Such a situation naturally made Yuan Shu extremely satisfied, but it had many disadvantages for the long-term development of Jizhou.

In troubled times, what kind of strength the princes have determines what kind of treatment they will receive after they go out as envoys.

"Let Xu You come in." Lu Bu said lightly.

Although Xu You came to Xuzhou to express goodwill, Lu Bu would rather not have such kindness. It is absolutely impossible to get more benefits from him.

It is good to cooperate with Yuan Shao to a certain extent. When Yuan Shao's actions violated Lu Bu's bottom line, even if Yuan Shao had a good reputation among the princes, it was not worthwhile for Lu Bu to stand up and speak for Lu Bu.

Lu Bu is not unsure about this battle. As long as he can survive this catastrophe safely, the Xuzhou Army and Yanzhou Army will have more important weight in front of the princes in the future. , will be more respectful.

In troubled times, the improvement of strength is the most important thing. If one's own strength cannot meet the needs of development, sooner or later it will be wiped out by other princes.

Lu Bu would not agree to Xu You's proposal. Just Yuan Shao's solidarity wanted Xuzhou to pay a huge price for the hundred-refined weapon forging method.

Ordinary princes are very concerned about their own reputation, but it seems that such a thing is nothing to Lu Bu. Since his debut, Lu Bu has suffered a lot of infamy, and when he endured these infamy, he still failed to stop Lu Bu The road of development, in such a process, has even achieved faster development.

This kind of thing will make other princes depressed, but the methods used by Lu Bu have always been relatively simple. Even if they take these places as their own, they can still make the cities under their rule develop rapidly.

In the face of such established facts, even if some families have opinions, they will not have more opposition to Lu Bu. The princes have more sufficient means when governing the city, and they will have more opportunities for subsequent development. Impact.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the families under the rule of the princes to have the opportunity to grow stronger.

Just doing business in Xuzhou and Yanzhou has brought so many opportunities to the aristocratic families, which makes some families take a more cautious attitude when dealing with Lu Bu. These things are a good illustration. , and will not easily betray the monarch, and will even make greater efforts for the development of the monarch.

This in itself is a very normal thing. Aristocratic families need to develop, and princes also need to develop. When the power of the two is combined, the influence that can be produced is very large, and even more princes are in front of such things. , dare not have the slightest contempt.

Isn't the development of Xuzhou the best proof?

Chapter 760

When many princes thought that it would be difficult for Lu Bu to achieve greater achievements in a short period of time after occupying Xuzhou, more princes were surprised by the means that Lu Bu showed in overcoming difficulties.

It even attracted a large number of businessmen to Xuzhou to trade with Lu Bu.

Why don't the princes want the situation under their own rule to be the same.

It's just that it is impossible for some princes to compare with Lu Bu in terms of means.

When Lu Bu was developing his rule, he put in a lot of hard work, and the contribution made by the craftsman's workshop in this matter is very great.

After leaving the support of the craftsman workshop, the development of Xuzhou will definitely be greatly affected.

In fact, the status of the craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop is the same in the eyes of the princes, but after they involve a lot of secrets, there are many differences.

The current situation in Xuzhou is not very stable, and some youngsters have started to investigate secretly. They want to get more benefits from Lu Bu's hands through such investigations.

Facts have proved that even in a critical moment, Lu Bu has corresponding means when dealing with some things. It is not that simple to get benefits from Lu Bu. If the handling is not proper in some aspects , and even disaster.

In the eyes of the princes, Lu Bu is a terrible existence. In the eyes of the aristocratic families in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, why not.

Following such a family, although it can bring a lot of benefits to the family, it is just such benefits that make the family members feel uneasy, and at the same time, they have the brand of Lu Bu on them.

When Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou in the past, he secretly had other means. Now when he is attacking Xuzhou, the situation must be the same, and he even has more preparations in terms of many means.

After experiencing the last defeat, Yuan Shu's prudence in the face of war deserves more attention.

After the outbreak of war, the influence on the monarch has always been great, especially for the princes who lost in the war, even if they seek refuge with others, it is difficult to gain trust.

In all fairness, although Lu Bu was cruel in his methods when dealing with the aristocratic family, he spared no effort in promoting the development of the aristocratic family.

As long as it can bring some help to the development of the aristocratic family, Lu Bu will not have more hesitation. If such things are put on other princes, it will be very difficult to succeed.

It's just that sometimes, Lu Bu restrained the development of the aristocratic family to a certain extent, as if he didn't want the aristocratic family to develop faster.

What is different from other princes is that Lu Bu firmly holds the military power in Xuzhou and Yanzhou. It is absolutely difficult to take the general power from Lu Bu's hands. Besides, Lu Bu's prestige in the army determines that when After Lu Bu gave an order, the generals and soldiers in the army basically would not disobey it.

It has become impossible for the aristocratic families who lack eyeliner and help in the army to intervene more in the affairs of the army.

This was not the case when Xuzhou was in Tao Qian's hands in the past, but Tao Qian's weakness will be forgotten by Xuzhou's family sooner or later.

Even some families in Xuzhou still remember Tao Qian well, how dare they have more violations when Lu Bu ruled Xuzhou.

Lu Bu's strength in Xuzhou is not a joke. If Lu Bu is not satisfied with some actions, the destruction of these families will follow. What happened in the past is a good proof of Lu Bu's The means are powerful.

When the war came, the Xuzhou family was extremely cautious when facing such things. Even the family with other thoughts secretly did not dare to go against Lu Bu's order, because this was not the first time that Xuzhou was in turmoil. up.

When Xuzhou was in turmoil in the past, Lu Bu could easily solve it and punish the families who had some actions. What they need is a more cautious attitude in front of such things.

Lv Bu's famous reputation in Zhuzhou was earned by victories in battles. In the face of wars, the fighting power displayed by the Xuzhou army is obvious to all. Therefore, they maintain a good relationship with Lv Bu. The relationship between them is what Xuzhou's family desperately wants to see.

After the inspector's office started to operate, several small families were eradicated. Although the strength of these small families was not strong among the Xuzhou families, it made the Xuzhou families better see the terrifying influence of the inspector's office after it was in operation. .

Lu Bu was telling the Xuzhou family in this way that if they want to live a stable life in the troubled times and let the family develop, they must cooperate as much as possible with the actions of the State Shepherd's Mansion. deal with them.

Beating the family under the rule is also something that some princes are willing to do. In this kind of beating, they can even get unexpected gains.

The background of the aristocratic family cannot be measured by the eyes of ordinary people. When they do their best to assist the monarch, the impact on the monarch will definitely be great.

Lu Bu's reputation among the princes is not good, but the methods he used when governing the city have been recognized by many families in Xuzhou.

In this way, when more families choose to cooperate with Lu Bu, there will be no more psychological obstacles.

Because the members of these families knew that if they did not cooperate with Lu Bu, the family they belonged to might decline, and such a thing could not be avoided absolutely.

And Lu Bu's strength among the princes can also be seen. More cooperation with Lu Bu can help the family avoid more problems in the process of development.

Lu Bu is a monarch with means. Such a monarch has unique features when he governs the region. From the matter of Lu Bu's appointment of officials under his rule, we can actually see a lot of things. When Lu Bu treats talents, he is With a sincere attitude.

For aristocratic families, the talents in the family are the biggest support for the development of their family. After these talents enter Lu Bu's command, they can get more attention, so that the strength of the family can be improved, which is of great significance.

No matter how the princes develop in the future, the most important thing is to fundamentally improve the strength of the family.

Xuzhou has [-] elites. With [-] elites, Lu Bu can achieve greater achievements on the battlefield. Besides, when Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Xuzhou, the frontier of the war was in Yuzhou.

Chapter 761 The Price of Failure

The Xiapi Kingdom in Yuzhou fell into Lu Bu's hands precisely because of Yuan Shu's defeat in the previous battle against Lu Bu.

In such a critical situation in the past, Lu Bu was able to lead the Xuzhou Army to victory in the war. Now the strength of the Xuzhou Army has been greatly improved. In terms of quantity, it is not comparable to the past. The performance is also what some families are looking forward to.

Xu You was ordered to enter the State Shepherd's Mansion, and after calming down his thoughts, he began to think about how to make a deal with Lu Bu.

Judging from the previous situation, it is simply impossible for Lu Bu to make concessions on the matter of Hundred Refined Weapons. It is too difficult to go deep into the craftsman's workshop and find out the secrets of Xuzhou's craftsman's workshop.

The death of Qin Lin, the owner of the Black Clothes Pavilion, is the best illustration.

The most correct way is to get the secret of the hundred-refined weapon from Lu Bu.

In Xu You's view, it is very difficult for Yuan Shu to break through Xuzhou. In the past, Yuan Shu had a great advantage over Lu Bu in terms of strength and could not win. Now it will be even more difficult to break through Xuzhou .

It can be seen from the performance of many officials in Xuzhou that they have sufficient confidence in Lu Bu in terms of fighting.

That's right, Lu Bu himself is a strong general who fought on the battlefield, and he has a great record on the battlefield. Facing an army led by such a strong general, any enemy army must be cautious after seeing it, especially the Xiaoqi Battalion under Lu Bu's command. But an invincible existence on the battlefield.

An elite cavalry can often turn the tide of the situation in a battle. The reason why Yuan Shao couldn't gain more advantage in the battle against Gongsun Zan is because Gongsun Zan has elite cavalry forces. Cavalry is completely rampant in war. How many infantry lives are needed to form a good barrier to such elite cavalry?

When the monarch is going through war, what he needs to do is to be cautious.

It has to be said that after experiencing the previous failures, Yuan Shu has become more cautious in this confrontation, because Yuan Shu knows what the consequences will be if the war cannot be won or lost. The revenge from Lv Bu will make Yuan Shu suffer a lot.

It was actually not easy for Lu Bu to make Yuan Shu, who is the most powerful among the princes, do this.

What Yuan Shao most wanted to see was not a unilateral victory for Yuan Shu or Lu Bu, but for both sides to suffer losses in this confrontation. Only in this way would it be in Yuan Shao's interest.

Regardless of whether it is the strength of Yuan Shu or Lu Bu, after the battle is won and improved, it will definitely have a certain influence on Yuan Shao. At that time, there will be a terrifying existence among the princes. Such an existence will even affect the princes today. The formation of the pattern has no small impact.

For the princes, war is not terrible, what is terrible is how to deal with it after failure.

After Yuan Shu was defeated in the past, he compensated a lot of supplies, and even obediently gave up the city. Could it be said that Yuan Shu was balanced in his heart when facing such things.

The members of the Yuan family have always been proud, but they failed miserably against a general like Lu Bu. If word spread, it would have a great impact on Yuan Shu's reputation.

Whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, there is a lot of value in terms of reputation. After having a better reputation, it will be much easier for them to achieve corresponding actions among the princes.

The rise of Lu Bu is enough to attract the attention of more princes, and Yuan Shao is the most gratified, especially after Yuan Shu and Lu Bu broke up, Yuan Shao's determination to help Lu Bu was strengthened.

When Lu Bu was able to cause more obstacles to Yuan Shu, it was the time when Yuan Shao achieved rapid development in Jizhou.

It's a pity that Yuan Shu couldn't win the war against Lu Bu, and even made Lu Bu's strength improve a lot after the war.

Relatively speaking, Lu Bu's growth is much better than Yuan Shu's, but Yuan Shao doesn't want this to happen.

The combination of Liu Biao and Yuan Shu could not have been due to Yuan Shao's contribution.

Yuan Shao was the leader of the princes and alliance in the past, and he had a good relationship with Liu Biao. Otherwise, Liu Biao would not have stopped Sun Jian after receiving Yuan Shao's order.

Let Lu Bu pay a greater price in this confrontation, and it is best to get the secrets of the Xuzhou craftsman's workshop, which is exactly what Yuan Shao wants to see.

It turned out that even though the situation in Xuzhou and Yanzhou was so tense, Lu Bu still didn't disclose the secrets of the craftsman workshop.

From Lu Bu's attitude, Xu You could feel that unless Xuzhou was at a time of life and death, otherwise, these secrets would never be exchanged for benefits.

At present, the Xuzhou army is preparing for war, and the situation in various counties and counties is also unprecedentedly tense to meet the war that may come at any time.

What Xu You was very curious about was how much confidence Lü Bu had in resisting the alliance between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao.

If this kind of thing was put on Yuan Shao, I am afraid that people in Jizhou would already be panic-stricken. Even those families who have a lot of affection for Yuan Shao may make choices that are beneficial to their families at critical moments.

Whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, they are both descendants of the Yuan family, and they are all from famous families. In some people's eyes, there is not much difference between taking refuge in Yuan Shao and taking refuge in Yuan Shu.

Fortunately, there are obstacles like Lu Bu on Yuan Shu's development path, which can provide Yuan Shao with more precious time.

Defeating Gongsun Zan has become what Yuan Shao urgently needs to do.

Even a military general like Lu Bu has performed brilliantly after he entered Xuzhou. As the former leader of the princes and alliance, if Yuan Shao did not do better in such matters, how could he convince the civilian and military generals under his rule? Woolen cloth.
