The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

"Thanks to Marquis Wen's praise." Zhang Ji hurriedly clasped his fists together, feeling a little puzzled in his heart. Usually, Lu Bu is a person with high-sighted eyes, and when he went to the command of other generals, he was also bossy. Three postures.

Lu Bu cast his eyes on Zhang Ji and asked, "I heard that General Zhang has a man named Jia Xu. I have admired him for a long time. I wonder if General Zhang can recommend him for me?"

Zhang Ji was slightly taken aback, and said: "Marquis Wen, the general doesn't know this person."

Sensing the coldness in Lu Bu's eyes, Zhang Ji couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly said: "The last general will go to look for this person."

Seeing that Zhang Ji's expression did not seem to be fake, Lu Bu nodded and entered the big tent.

About two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Ji and his nephew Zhang Xiu came together.

"Where's the person?" Lu Bu asked with an unkind expression.

Zhang Xiu clasped his fists and said, "The Jia Xu that Marquis Wen is looking for is not in my uncle's tent, but is serving as the captain of the captives under the command of General Niu Fu."

"I see." Lu Bu said.

"Don't worry, Marquis Wen, the last general has sent people to look for Jia Xu, and he is expected to come to the army soon." Zhang Xiu said.

Lu Bu nodded in satisfaction, "Is this General Zhang's nephew Zhang Xiu?"

"Exactly." Zhang Ji looked happy.

Lu Bu said, "I've heard that Zhang Xiu is highly skilled in martial arts."

"Marquis Wen is admirable. Marquis Wen's bravery is unstoppable. The battle outside Hulao Pass a few days ago made the princes' army lose their color." Zhang Ji clasped his fists and said.

Lu Bu was a well-known figure in the army, and his betrayal of Ding Yuan and his defection to Dong Zhuo did not affect Lu Bu's brilliance on the battlefield.

The soldiers of the Liangzhou Army have always been tough, and they admire those capable people very much.

Secretly, many generals under Dong Zhuo's command may be dissatisfied with Lu Bu, but they dare not show it on the surface.

After waiting for about half an hour, Niu Fu personally led Jia Xu over.

At this time Lv Bu was in charge of the battle at Hulao Pass, and he had already received Dong Zhuo's order to retreat, but he heard that Lv Bu was looking for Jia Xu and rushed to send him here.

At such a critical moment, it was of great significance that Lu Bu was able to lead an army to guard Hulao Pass. He did not want to confront Lu Bu because of a trivial matter.

After Niu Fu and Jia Xu saluted, Lu Bu took a look at Jia Xu, but he saw that Jia Xu was about forty years old, less than eight feet tall, with a thin face and ordinary appearance. The one who impressed Lu Bu most was Jia Xu's Those eyes are extremely bright, and looking at them seems to be able to see through their inner thoughts.

"The general has something to say about the captain, please step back for now." Lu Bu waved his hand.

After the three of them left, Lu Bu laughed and said, "I've heard that Captain Koulu is resourceful and resourceful. I don't know if Captain Koulu knows why I'm calling you here?"

Jia Xu said calmly, "How can the general guess what Marquis Wen is thinking?"

"If you guess correctly, you will be rewarded a lot." Lu Bu said, "If you can't say it, it will be difficult for you to leave here today."

Jia Xu said: "If the last general speaks out, I hope Marquis Wen will not blame him."

"It's natural." Lu Bu stared at Jia Xu with scorching eyes.

The reason why he returned to Hulao Pass was because of Jia Xu, who originally thought Jia Xu would be under Zhang Ji's account.

Currently under Lu Bu's command, there is no shortage of strong generals, such as Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, Gao Shun, Hao Meng and the like, all of whom can stand on their own, but there is a lack of resourceful men. Jia Xu is in Hulao Pass, how could he let such a thing go.

Seeing no one around, Jia Xu took two steps forward and said in a low voice, "Marquis Wen returned to Hulao Pass this time, intending to betray the Prime Minister."

Lu Bu's complexion changed slightly, and he snorted coldly, "Don't talk nonsense."

Taking a full view of Lu Bu's expression changes, Jia Xu said with a smile: "Marquis Wen followed Xiangguo to Luoyang to handle the matter of moving the capital. Luoyang is the safest place at this time. Luoyang is rich and prosperous, and the soldiers in the army can get a lot of money. There are few benefits, why did Marquis Wen give up so many benefits and return to Hulao Pass?"

Lu Bu nodded, and said with a smile, "Since you know what this general is thinking, you don't have to leave."

Jia Xu's face changed slightly. He valued his own life very much. Relatively speaking, Lu Bu was an out-and-out reckless man. He could kill his adoptive father Ding Yuan for the sake of profit. What else would Lu Bu not dare to do? thing.

"It seems that Colonel Qiulu doesn't take life and death lightly enough." Lu Bu said with a smile.

Jia Xu saluted and said: "Marquis Wen was joking, the last general was just talking nonsense, it can't be true, please forgive me, Marquis Wen."

"You say that, don't you feel relieved?" Lu Bu said coldly, once a person has a handle, he will be much more honest.

Jia Xu secretly thought that Lv Bu was a scoundrel, it seems that Lv Bu has no peace of mind when he comes to Zhang Ji's army today.

"Marquis Wen has something to say, but why use such a method?" Jia Xu smiled wryly.

"If that's the case, this general will be impolite. I have heard a lot about the name of Captain Koulu. I lack talents under my command. I wonder if Captain Koulu is willing to follow me?" Lu Bu stared at him with piercing eyes. Jia Xu said.

Jia Xu suddenly couldn't see through Lu Bu in front of him. He had always kept a low profile in the army. Normally, with Lu Bu's status, he shouldn't have heard of him.

"Captain Kolu is a smart person, he should understand the consequences of refusing Ben." Lu Bu said lightly.

With threatening words, Jia Xu would not doubt Lu Bu's murderous intentions. He bowed silently for a moment and said, "Since Marquis Wen values ​​it so much, the last general will go to Marquis Wen's command."

When Lv Bu returned to Hulao Pass, Jia Xu realized that something was wrong. Dong Zhuo attached great importance to Lv Bu. In the court, he often used Lv Bu's force to intimidate the officials in the court. It is impossible to let Lv Bu guard Hulao Pass easily. .

With Lv Bu speaking from it, Niu Fu did not hesitate too much, and directly agreed. In his opinion, Jia Xu was just begging for the captain. Although he was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he was very afraid of Lv Bu's force.

On the way back to the army, Lu Bu was overjoyed. With Jia Xu by his side, he would not have to worry about having someone to advise him. Maybe Jia Xu came to his command because he didn't mean it sincerely.

Chapter 6 Planning for Xuzhou

Luo Yang has a lot of talents, but these talents can only be seen but not touched. If you want them to give advice by your side, it is almost as difficult as going to heaven.

After returning to the army, Lu Bu immediately ordered the guards to guard the big tent of the Chinese army. No one was allowed to enter without an order.

"Captain Qiulu, forget it, I'll call you Wenhe, that would make you look a lot more friendly." Lu Bu laughed.

Jia Xu was taken aback for a moment, he never thought that Lu Bu, who had never been in contact with him, knew his name.

"Marquis Wen values ​​it, but the general will be afraid." Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu said: "Don't pretend to be in front of this general. This general is clear about your resourcefulness. The reason why I asked you to come to the army is because I lack a counselor under my command."

"I'm afraid the last general will disappoint Marquis Wen. The last general is just a mere beggar for the captain, so how can he deserve the attention of Marquis Wen?" Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu snorted coldly and said, "So, Wenhe City doesn't plan to cooperate anymore, this is my general's camp, even if I ordered someone to drag you out and kill you, no one would dare to come to my general's army trouble."

"Marquis Wen was joking, since the last general is here, he will definitely help Marquis Wen." Jia Xu felt that it would be better to be straightforward when talking to someone like Lu Bu who was ready to fight every now and then.

Lu Bu leaned forward slightly, "Wen He, the general wanted to break away from Xiangguo's command and find another way out. What advice do you have?"

Jia Xu's heart moved, Lu Bu, the flying general under Dong Zhuo's command, would actually have such thoughts. In his opinion, according to Lu Bu's disposition, he should continue to follow Dong Zhuo's side to have a better future. Anyway, Dong Zhuo has the emperor in his hands.

In the past, the reason why Lu Bu betrayed Ding Yuan was because following Dong Zhuo would bring more benefits. Nowadays, although the coalition forces of the princes are powerful, the princes have their own ideas and stick to the checkpoints so that the army of the princes can It is difficult to move forward, let alone break through Chang'an.

The tent fell into silence, and Lu Bu stared at Jia Xu with burning eyes. Through Lu Bu's gaze, Jia Xu could feel that if his answer in this aspect did not satisfy Lu Bu, he would be decapitated the next moment. Jia Xu, who has always acted cautiously, was very surprised that someone mentioned him to Lu Bu.

"If Marquis Wen wants to leave Xiangguo, there is a good place to go." Jia Xu said slowly.

Lu Bu couldn't help asking, "Where?"

"Xuzhou." Jia Xu said word by word.

Lv Bu was sullen. In history, Lv Bu was killed in Xuzhou. Now Jia Xu actually suggested that he go to Xuzhou. "Jia Wenhe, I would have known that Xuzhou was the place of the Fourth World War. , will inevitably lead to the attack of the Kanto princes, does Jia Wenhe want the general to die in Xuzhou?"

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Wen Hou's words are wrong. Although Xuzhou is the place where the Four Wars took place, after occupying Xuzhou, with Wen Hou's bravery, why should he be afraid of being attacked by others? In the end, we will see that Wen Hou has the bravery of Lu Bu, the overlord of Western Chu. In the past, Lu Bu, the overlord, used Pengcheng as his foundation to command the world."

Hearing this, Lu Bu's expression softened a little. He naturally knew about the Overlord Xiang Yu's affairs, and what he had mastered was the Overlord Breaking Heaven Halberd.

"Wen He continued."

"Xuzhou is close to Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou. Shun Guangling can take control of Jiangdong. If it is used properly, it will surely achieve great things. Xuzhou governor Tao Qian sent troops to help the princes and allied forces. It is easy for Wenhou to take control of Xuzhou. "Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu frowned and pondered for a long time, "There is something wrong with Wen He's words. Tao Qian is one of the princes of the Guandong. If I lead an army to attack Pengcheng, wouldn't it attract a joint attack from the princes' army? Luoyang is far away, how can we enter Xuzhou?"

"Don't be anxious, Marquis Wen. Although Xuzhou is far away from Luoyang, there is a road that is safe." Jia Xu said with a smile: "Qingzhou is currently in chaos, and there are many yellow scarves raging. If Marquis Wen enters Jizhou after leaving Xiangguo, and then enters Qingzhou, Xuzhou is in sight, and the princes are attacking Dong Zhuo, so there is no time to take care of Wenhou."

"As for the fact that the other princes will attack because Marquis Wen occupied Pengcheng, with Marquis Wen's bravery, would they still be afraid? You only need to let the princes lose one or two games, and they will definitely not dare to rob the general."

Jia Xu's words made Lu Bu's eyes brighten. Only after he was out of Dong Zhuo's control could he decide his own fate. As for killing Dong Zhuo, even if he had the intention and opportunity, he would not do it. After killing Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's personal guards, plus the loyal soldiers in the army, he might die in the army.

"Okay, let's take Wenhe's words, but this general is not very relieved of Wenhe. From then on, Wenhe will follow this general. If Xuzhou is broken by others, you will follow this general. Die." Lu Bu said in a low voice.

Jia Xu was profound and composed, he seemed to have expected that Lu Bu would play this trick, and he cupped his hands and said, "The last general takes orders."

Lu Bu immediately ordered Jia Xu to be entertained.

The chaos in Luoyang City did not arouse the anger of the armies of the princes outside the pass. Hulao Pass originally had more than [-] people, but now only Lu Bu and Fan Chou were left. Niu Fu and Zhang Ji had already returned to Luoyang after receiving orders. At that time, the army of the princes in Hulaoguan had only more than [-] people.

Faced with such a situation, Lu Bu did not panic in the slightest. No matter how superior the coalition forces of the princes are in numbers, it is not easy to break through the Hulao Pass.

The coalition of princes is nominally for the Han court, but they cherish their own strength very much, lest they lose more troops than others. It is also very good to choose to confront Dong Zhuo's army.

Besides, the Kwantung princes already knew what happened in Luoyang City. Judging from these signs, Dong Zhuo clearly wanted to abandon Luoyang.

There are two checkpoints, if you break one, you can reach Luoyang, but the princes have no enterprising spirit.

Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass are one of the great passes around Luoyang, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Half a month later, Lv Bu received the order to retreat, presumably Dong Zhuo had led his men to search the area.

After Hulao Pass was closed, banners and banners were still densely covered. The army of princes outside the pass did not know the specific situation, so they did not dare to attack easily. When they attacked Hulao Pass before, they paid a lot of damage.

Hulao Pass was only fifty miles away from Luoyang. On the way, Lu Bu saw the raging fire in the direction of Luoyang, reflecting the sky.

"Looks like Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang City." Lu Bu sighed secretly.

Chapter 7 Cao Cao Chasing Dong Zhuo

Lu Bu was deeply impressed by Luoyang's prosperity. The palaces in the city were magnificent, and the height of the city alone reached ten feet. This was a height unmatched by other cities except Chang'an.

Luoyang, the capital city of 200 years, with a population of over one million, was burned by Dong Zhuo's fire, and many people died because of it. Although there were fluctuations in his heart, he was well suppressed by Lu Bu. After merging with Lu Bu's soul, he found himself The death of ordinary people is no longer valued so much, perhaps because they have experienced too many bloody scenes.

Traveling overnight, the closer to Luoyang City, the higher the temperature in the air.

On the way, Lv Bu received Dong Zhuo's order and led the army to escort the supplies to the rear.

Dong Zhuo ransacked Luoyang city wantonly, but got too much gold, silver and jewels. Not only that, even the imperial tomb was destroyed by Dong Zhuo's order Li Jue.

Searching for so much wealth is precisely for Dong Zhuo to continue to make waves after returning to Chang'an.

"General, my subordinates have something to say, please hold back." Jia Xuce immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice.

Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu in surprise when he heard the words. Since the last time he forced Jia Xu to tell where he was going next, Jia Xu has remained silent.

Jia Xu felt bitter in his heart, following Dong Zhuo's army, even though he was scolded by the princes of the Kwantung, he was still a subject of the court, so he was brought into the army for Lv Bu, but it was extremely risky for Lv Bu to escape from Dong Zhuo's control Things, if you are not careful, your life will be in danger.

Jia Xu wanted to escape, but Hao Meng, the general next to Lu Bu, was directly responsible for his safety, which made Jia Xu's thoughts of fleeing go out.

From Lu Bu's previous words, Jia Xu can feel that Lu Bu will definitely take him away. If Lu Bu is dangerous, he might die before Lu Bu. Lu Bu is a desperado. Put your own life in it.

After Lu Bu retreated to the left and right, Jia Xu said in a low voice, "Now is the opportunity for Marquis Wen."

"How do you say that?" Lu Bu questioned.

"Xiangguo ordered Wenhou to be responsible for the escort of the materials in the rear, which shows that Xiangguo is not wary of Wenhou, and these materials are so precious. Although they are only a small part of them, if they are obtained, they will be enough for Wenhou to gain a foothold in Xuzhou." Jia Xu The voice became lower and lower.

Lu Bu's eyes lit up, escorting supplies was indeed a great opportunity.

"Wen He's words are reasonable. In the future, if such a thing happens, Wen He should mention it more, and let the general make plans in advance." Lu Bu said lightly.

"Don't worry, Marquis Wen," Jia Xu said.

How could Lu Bu fail to see Jia Xu's intentions? If he wanted to make such a character work for him, he had to make him feel in danger. In this way, Jia Xu would make suggestions from him. This incident is a good proof.

Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an. He not only searched for supplies, but also took away the people in Luoyang City. On the way, he was guarded by soldiers and soldiers.

The surroundings of Chang'an are no longer as prosperous as before. Taking the people there will be more beneficial to Dong Zhuo's development. Besides, the homes of these people have been burned, so what if they stay in Luoyang.

On the second day after Lu Bu took over the supplies, he received the news that Dong Zhuo had summoned him.

When Dong Zhuo summoned him at this time, it was inevitable that Lu Bu would feel suspicious. After questioning Jia Xu, he went to the Central Army.

At this time, the army marched to the border of Xingyang. The prefect of Xingyang was Xu Rong, a general under Dong Zhuo's command. Xu Rong was not only good at leading troops, but also quite capable in governing the region.

Dong Zhuo nodded to Li Ru after seeing the important generals in the army gathered together.

Li Ru understood, and said slowly: "Xiangguo gave up Luoyang, and I expected that the princes of the Guandong would have a large army to pursue them. Xiangguo can order the army to ambush the mountains outside the city. If there are princes chasing troops, they can let them go. Wait for Xiangguo to catch them here. Defeating, and then intercepting and killing, will inevitably make the princes panic and dare not pursue easily."

After hearing the words, the generals in the army praised him one after another, and Dong Zhuo also showed a satisfied smile.

"Xu Rong, Li Jue, and Guo Si each lead [-] elite soldiers to defeat the pursuers. Feng will lead the troops of the headquarters first and follow behind. When the pursuers fail, they will take the opportunity to cover up and kill them." Dong Zhuo ordered.

"Here." The four said in unison.
