The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

After seeing such a scene, there are many secret workers lurking in Xuzhou, and it is difficult to calm down. Lu Bu can get such support from the people in a short period of time in Xuzhou, which is enough to show that Lu Bu is not the prince in the eyes of outsiders. .

When the princes develop their rule, it is inevitable that they will attack other princes, especially the hostile princes, and they will spare no effort. Such attacks will greatly affect the reputation of the opponent, and even when the opponent attacks his own city. When it is time, the soldiers and civilians under the rule can give more support to the monarch.

Today's Lu Bu is fighting this war relying on his prestige among the Xuzhou army and the people of Xuzhou.

As for what the final outcome of this battle will be, it is hard to predict, but the feat of the Xuzhou army when it was dispatched will be remembered by many people in their hearts.

Lu Bu, who had a bad reputation among the princes, was able to have such influence among the people. Could it be that the Lu Bu they usually knew was real?

For a prince, the most difficult thing is to get the support of more people, because the needs of the people are different, and there are aristocratic families under the rule, and if they want to seek benefits for the people, they must obtain the consent of these families.

If the performance of a prince cannot satisfy the family under his rule, the consequences will be the most serious.

The reason why Lu Bu has successive actions in Xuzhou and Yanzhou is because Lu Bu controls the power in the army, and the soldiers in the army have more respect for Lu Bu. Under such circumstances, even some families are dissatisfied with Lu Bu. Emotions can't be expressed.

Because Lu Bu, who controls the military power, is a big killer in front of the powerful family. As long as Lu Bu gives an order, their family may suffer disaster. The wealthy family dare not gamble on this matter, because they are not sure about the situation What will happen to the development.

The progress of the war is also a big challenge for the aristocratic family, especially what kind of attitude they will have at this time, it is likely to be related to the future development of the family.

After seeing Lu Bu's prestige among the common people, the aristocratic family in Xuzhou also kept silent. For a long time, Lu Bu's attitude towards the aristocratic family was indifferent, and he was not as enthusiastic as other princes. However, Lu Bu's development in Xuzhou However, it can be seen that just relying on Lu Bu's means is enough to make Lu Bu have a better reputation among the princes.

The fact that the common people came to see each other off had something to do with Lu Bu's behavior.

Chapter 781 It is definitely difficult to succeed in raiding Pengcheng

Most of the fields reclaimed outside the city fell into the hands of the common people, and these fields were protected by the government. Even if some aristocratic families wanted to take other actions in secret, they would have many scruples. If some matters are not handled properly, it may bring a blow to Lu Bu.

When dealing with aristocratic families, Lu Bu did not hesitate more, and he did not show any mercy.

But when dealing with the people, you can see what kind of attitude Lu Bu has. In fact, these things also make the aristocratic families under Lu Bu's rule quite depressed. It is very big, without the help of the family, no matter how capable a prince is, it is impossible to make more development under the rule, but it is difficult to apply this situation to Lu Bu.

Even if Lu Bu had an indifferent attitude towards the aristocratic family, the people of the aristocratic family would not dare to have more arrogance in front of Lu Bu, because their arrogance may be exchanged for Lu Bu's revenge.

In the face of such things, no family can remain calm.

It is obvious what kind of attitude Lu Bu has when dealing with aristocratic families. The Xuzhou and Yanzhou families have gradually gotten used to it. As long as the talents of their families can be reused under Lu Bu's rule, it will also increase the power of the family. .

In terms of appointing talents, Lu Bu's actions are to make these families not more picky. When appointing talents, they rely on the personal ability of officials. In this case, even if some officials are promoted quickly, there are enough reasons .

What followed was the loyalty of these promoted officials to Lu Bu, which is also the shrewdness of officials. As a vassal, Lu Bu needs the loyalty of the officials under his rule. If the officials under his rule have other thoughts If so, no matter how high the ability is, it is impossible to get into the core of Lu Bu.

It is this kind of Lu Bu that has greatly improved the development speed of Yanzhou and Xuzhou. Even the princes have a respectful attitude when facing Lu Bu. As for what kind of remarks they will have in secret, it is not Lu Bu can control it.

Now, the war broke out again. If the aristocratic families in the two states did not have more worries, it would be impossible. The enemies they faced this time were even tougher. If Lu Bu could create miracles like before , If the enemy army is defeated, then no one can shake Lu Bu's position among the princes.

When Lu Bu appeared, the influence he could have among the princes would be even greater.

The crucial battle depends on how the lieutenant soldiers led by Lu Bu will perform on the battlefield.

Xuzhou, as the most important place under Lu Bu's rule, is facing the greatest challenge this time. When Yuan Shu's army attacks Lu Bu's rule, Jiangdong's army will also be dispatched. The place where they attack is likely to be Guangling. In this case, The soldiers and horses under Lu Bu's command will be greatly restrained.

As old opponents, after Liu Bei and Kong Rong sent troops, it is very likely that they will also attack Xuzhou.

Once Xuzhou falls into the hands of the enemy, it will be the biggest turbulence for Lu Bu's rule.

If Xuzhou fell, it would be impossible to do more on the battlefield just relying on the strength of the Yanzhou Army.

The Yanzhou Army was established much later than the Xuzhou Army, and it has not experienced many battles. In fact, there are many difficulties in stopping the attack of the Jingzhou Army. The key is to see what kind of troops the Xuzhou Army has. as.

If the Xuzhou army can win the war, even if the situation is more complicated, Lu Bu can still deal with it.

It is even more difficult to expect the Yanzhou Army to mobilize troops and horses to assist Xuzhou at such a time.

Everything in Xuzhou fell on Lu Bu's shoulders. One can imagine how much pressure Lu Bu was under at this time.

Looking back at the people who were sending him off, Lu Bu's expression became more and more determined. This battle itself is full of dangers. If we can't win, our past efforts will become a passing cloud, and he will also become a dust in history. Maybe there will be only a few words left, but I'm afraid there will be more bad words.

And when Lu Bu can have a higher status among the princes, this situation will change accordingly. Since ancient times, only the winners and losers, the winners, can leave a better reputation in history, and the losers, Can only bear the infamy.

Lu Bu is very clear about this matter, so now Lu Bu will not pay more attention to reputation, but when his strength reaches a certain level, even scholars who want to talk about it, It is also necessary to be more cautious.

"Wenhe, the army will reach Xiangxian County in three days. Xiangxian County is the most important place for our army to resist the enemy's attack." Lu Bu said: "If Xiangxian County can be preserved, it will be no matter how courageous Yuan Shu is. They dare not go around Xiang County and attack Pengcheng," Lu Bu said.

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Pengcheng has Zibu and General Wei Xu, and there are [-] soldiers in the city. Even if the enemy's army is strong, it is absolutely impossible to raid Pengcheng successfully."

This time the Xuzhou army was dispatched on a large scale, and the number of dispatched reached 5000. Wei Xu led [-] soldiers and horses to guard Pengcheng, in order to ensure the stability of the rear.

If the army is fighting in the front and the rear is not stable enough, it will be the most unfortunate thing for the lieutenant soldiers.

Under the condition of ensuring the stability of the rear, inflicting the greatest blow on the enemy is exactly what Lu Bu wanted to see.

In this war, the reason why the Lu Bu yo combination had to win was that even if the enemy army was strong, Lu Bu could not retreat in the slightest, and had to do more in this confrontation.

"I hope so. In Pengcheng, there must be some youngsters. During the period when Ben Hou ruled Xuzhou, he offended many families. When they saw that Ben Hou was in a critical situation, how could they have no other actions?" ” Lu Bu said.

Lu Bu is well aware of these things, but when doing things normally, Lu Bu has not changed his behavior. Even if he offends some families, some things must be carried out. Lu Bu's tough tactics.

If things go on like this, even if some families have a lot of dissatisfaction with Lu Bu, they dare not express it easily.

Chapter 782 Less than [-]%

With strong means, Lu Bu was able to gain a foothold in Xuzhou, so that the aristocratic family did not dare to relax when facing him, and even had to stop some small movements in the dark.

"The Inspector's Office has caused quite a few officials to panic during this period. They must be more cautious when doing things." Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu said: "Man Chong, this person still has not weak abilities. If he reuses it, he will have greater achievements in the future."

"It's just that Man Chong is in charge of the Inspector's Office, so it will inevitably be dangerous." Jia Xu said.

Responsible for the affairs of the Inspector's Office, it seems to be beautiful on the surface, but it is not the case. When Man Chong violates the interests of some families, how can these families let it go? It is difficult for a family to develop. They do not want the family The development of the company has not fallen due to full favor.

Lu Bu has such strict monitoring of the families under his rule, the dissatisfaction can be imagined, but Lu Bu has always been strong in Xuzhou, and these families dare not speak out.

"Dangerous, there must be. As a vassal, I have encountered many assassinations. If I shrink back because of difficulties, it is difficult to do more." Lu Bu said indifferently.

Jia Xu nodded and said yes, Lu Bu's style has always been like this, vigorous and resolute.

Such a monarch has advantages as well as disadvantages.

"From Wenhe's point of view, how likely is our army to win this battle?" Lu Bu asked suddenly.

Jia Xu was taken aback for a moment, then slowly said: "It's less than [-]%."

Lu Bu's complexion was a little heavy. The Xuzhou army was indeed an elite on the battlefield, but Yuan Shu's attack this time was different from the past. The five princes jointly attacked Xuzhou and Yanzhou. The enemy army attacking Xuzhou may have four princes. Such a quantity is enough to attract more attention.

The soldiers of the Xuzhou Army have sufficient confidence in the war and want to get credit from the war, but after the war, how many soldiers will be buried in the battlefield, which is also an unavoidable thing in the war.

It is normal for lieutenant soldiers to die on the battlefield.

"But with the support of the people in Xuzhou, the situation is very different. Besides, Xuzhou also has a reserve team. Even if the soldiers in the army are damaged, the reserve team can make the soldiers in the army get replenished in time." Jia Xu Said: "With such things, our army has a [-]% chance of winning."

Lu Bu smiled and said, "A [-]% chance of winning is enough. When I came to Xuzhou, the situation was critical, but there was a [-]% chance of winning. I can get out of such a crisis, let alone now. ?”

Jia Xu nodded and said yes, Lu Bu is an optimistic person, no matter how tense the situation is, it seems that when he comes to Lu Bu, he can't play a greater role, and such a monarch leads an army, and often plays a relatively large role.

Moreover, with Lu Bu's prestige in the army, leading the lieutenant soldiers to fight, it is always beneficial.

At this point, it is also unmatched by other princes. If you are another prince, what kind of reaction will you have when facing a war? You must hide in the Chinese army and dare not go out. After all, there are many risks on the battlefield. However, this kind of thing is different when it comes to Lu Bu.

Leading the elite cavalry to deal a major blow to the enemy is exactly what Lu Bu is best at, and Lu Bu can keenly seize the opportunity on the battlefield, which is of great significance to the commander in the army. If you can't grasp the opportunity well when commanding soldiers to fight, it is simply impossible to inflict heavy damage on the enemy in the war.

It can be said that Lv Bu's prestige in the Xuzhou army is based on his victories in battles, and Lv Bu's position in the army is not comparable to that of other princes.

It is precisely because of this advantage that even if the Xuzhou army is at a disadvantage when facing the enemy, Jia Xu has enough confidence to open up the situation in this confrontation, and even make the enemy pay a heavy price for this operation. cost.

Even if Yuan Shu cannot be defeated, the strength of the Xuzhou army must be preserved as much as possible so that the enemy will not dare to act rashly when facing the Xuzhou army. As long as the war is in a stalemate, it is the best for Xuzhou.

It should be noted that Xuzhou has hoarded a large amount of food, grass and supplies at present. With these supplies of food and grass, it is enough for the lieutenant soldiers to survive this war crisis. The same thing is different for the armies of other princes. To win, the most basic thing is to keep up with the timeliness and guarantees. Otherwise, even if the soldiers in the army have strong combat effectiveness, it is impossible to open up the situation on the battlefield.

After the stalemate in the war, the consumption of food and supplies will increase even more. If you can't better deal with this problem, it is impossible to win the war.

Xuzhou's advantage lies in its sufficient supplies. As long as it is in a stalemate with the enemy, it will be a victory.

Jia Xu did not have enough confidence in this war, but Jia Xu knew that Lu Bu had no other choice in this war. Only by performing better in the war can Xuzhou and Yanzhou be stabilized.

Xiangxian County is the seat of the state of Pei. As an important city of Pei state, the number of soldiers and horses hoarded in the city has reached 5000 at this time. This also has a lot to do with the geographical location of Pei state. For other cities, it is already a big deal to have two thousand soldiers and horses guarding them.

With the order from Xuzhou, the Xuzhou army stationed in Liang Guo has retreated to Xiangxian County. It can be expected that the next war will be based on Xiangxian County. This is also to provide more Xuzhou in the rear. Safety.

Peiguo was originally a county in Yuzhou, under the rule of Yuan Shu, but when Yuan Shu led the army to attack Xuzhou, he failed to win, so he had to hand over Peiguo. This incident also became a thorn in Yuan Shu's mind.

Peiguo is of great significance to Xuzhou, so why not for Yuan Shu? After Peiguo was lost, Runan County was exposed to the edge of Xuzhou Army, and Xuzhou Army had a sharp weapon to attack the city. The sharp weapon can directly blow open the city gate.

With the elite of the Xuzhou army, if the defenders lost their advantage in the city, it would be very difficult to protect the city from the attack of the Xuzhou army. After Yuan Shu's defeat, Runan County attached great importance to it.

Chapter 783 Commander of the Three Thousand Crossbow Army

Now that the army is mobilized, the intention to attack Xuzhou is clearly revealed.

Not long after the Xuzhou Army withdrew from the Liang State, Yuan Shu's army took over the Liang State. Such things were very exciting for the soldiers under Yuan Shu's command. The main reason was that the Xuzhou Army had been too strong over the years. There are many difficulties in obtaining the benefits of the Xuzhou Army from the war.

Now that the Xuzhou army has directly surrendered Liang Guo, it shows that the Xuzhou army does not have enough confidence in dealing with this confrontation.

Yuan Shu is still very happy to send soldiers and horses to take over the city. It would be best for Lu Bu to make a bigger concession.

In fact, Yuan Shu has a lot of influence in Yuzhou. It is not too difficult to attack Liang Guo and take Liang Guo from the hands of Xuzhou Army.

At the critical moment, it is reasonable for the Xuzhou army to make concessions. The most important thing is to mobilize more troops to defend the city. If the city under its rule has experienced too many wars, it will not be conducive to Xuzhou. The defense of the army, the mobilization of elite forces, and the protection of important cities are exactly the strategies used by the Xuzhou army to deal with the enemy's attack.

As for such a strategy, it is not known how effective it will be after the war begins.

Yuan Shu mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses this time to defeat Xuzhou and drive Lu Bu out of Xuzhou. It is best to get the secret of Xuzhou's craftsman workshop. In this way, Yuan Shu's position among the princes will be more stable .

When Yuan Shu's influence among the princes is improved, he can get more benefits. As Yuan Shu, taking the opportunity to recruit talents is much easier than Lu Bu.

Lu Bu did make a lot of efforts when he was in Xuzhou in the past, especially in recruiting talents, but the effect was not very great.

It is mainly caused by Lu Bu's bad reputation among literati. More literati will be more cautious when choosing a monarch, especially the reputation of the monarch will have a very important impact on their choice. , a monarch whom no one wants to serve is notorious.

Lu Bu is a notorious existence among the princes. It is not easy for such a monarch to recruit more talents.

After taking over Liang Guo, Yuan Shu's army further approached Xiang County.

The breath of war lingers above Xiang County.

This war is of great significance to Xuzhou. As the guard of Xiang County, Gao Shun dare not slacken in the slightest at this time. Yuan Shu has made big moves, and Xuzhou must have won According to the news, the vanguard army is now coming towards Xiang County.

What Gao Shun needs to do is to stabilize the city as much as possible before the arrival of his own soldiers and horses, eradicate unstable factors, and ensure that the army has no more worries when fighting.

Gao Shun's ability to lead troops in combat was recognized by the generals in the army, and Commander Gao Shun's trap in the camp became a banner in the Xuzhou army.

How can a team that dares to confront the enemy's cavalry head-on in battle be an ordinary person.

Just being in the camp is enough to make Guoshun's name even more resounding among the princes.

The war was getting closer and closer, Gao Shun didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and was even more careful when doing ordinary things, especially monitoring the officials in the city.

Yuan Shu ruled Yuzhou in the past, and his influence in Yuzhou was not comparable to that of Lu Bu. Even if Lu Bu occupied the city of Yuzhou, he wanted to form a real governance of Yuzhou. Many people have confidence in Yuan Shu.

The actions Yuan Shu is taking now are the source of their confidence.

Gao Shun did not hesitate to eradicate the restless officials in the city. During this period of time, five families have been eradicated one after another. Gao Shun used bloody means to tell the families in the city that he wanted to betray Lu Bu and seek refuge with Yuan Shu at this time. , It is necessary to weigh whether the strength of the family can stop the attack from the army.

And Gao Shun's reputation became more and more resounding in the city, and he became the target of many families gnashing their teeth.

It's just that even if these families want to deal with Gao Shun, there is no suitable way. Usually, Gao Shun is in the army. With Gao Shun's influence in the army, these families want to complete their actions in the army , is obviously impossible.

The war is about to break out, and Gao Shun attaches great importance to his own safety, because Gao Shun knows that only when he is in Xiang County can the situation in Xiang County be stabilized. Only when the Xuzhou Army arrives, Gao Shun can have a chance to breathe.

The vanguard army is the commander-in-chief Yu Jin. As the commander-in-chief of the Three Thousand Crossbow Army, Yu Jin is also an important general in the Xuzhou army at this time.

At important meetings, Yu Jin could be seen everywhere. This time Liu Biao and Yuan Shu came aggressively, and it was time for the Xuzhou Army to show their value.

No matter how cruel the enemy army is, Yu Jin will not have more hesitation, and what Yu Jin needs is victory in the war to stabilize his position in the army.

It is not an easy task to gain more recognition in the Xuzhou Army. The most indispensable thing in the Xuzhou Army is powerful generals, and many of them are the generals who followed Lu Bu at the beginning.

Fortunately, Xuzhou Army's system is relatively clear, as long as it has enough ability and enough credit, it can be promoted.

Just in terms of system, the Xuzhou Army is not comparable to the armies of other princes.
