It's just that after Lu Bu's strength became stronger, they had to bow their heads to Lu Bu, and even after they were under Lu Bu's rule, they behaved cautiously, lest they offend Lu Bu in some way.

The appearance of Hundred Refined Weapons, Immortal Jade and other items gave Lu Bu a great influence among merchants.

Chapter 955

The merchants who were not valued by the princes originally made contributions to Lu Bu's development after arriving in Xuzhou, which is obvious to all, and even more princes attached importance to the power of merchants.

It's just that they started much later than Lu Bu. If they want to have greater achievements when fighting against Lu Bu, it is not enough to go through war.

If more merchants can be united to resist Lu Bu, then they will be able to achieve greater success, but merchants will not obey the orders of the princes, and when they see that they can gain more benefits in Xuzhou, they will go there one after another.

There are even many businessmen living in Pengcheng directly at this time, because Lv Bu has extremely powerful strength in his hands, and relying on his strong strength can make Lv Bu's position among the princes more stable, even if other princes are here. When you want to attack Lu Bu later, you have to weigh one or two.

The calculations of these businessmen are also shrewd, but the current situation in Xuzhou is extremely critical, which has shaken many businessmen. Is it really a wise move for them to settle in Xuzhou? When Xuzhou is captured by the army of the princes, everything is not what Lu Bu said No matter what, even their property and safety will be greatly affected.

However, it is obviously inappropriate to leave Xuzhou after the war broke out. Normally, Lu Bu's attitude towards businessmen is very clear, so under such circumstances, what businessmen need is Lu Bu's toughness. When necessary, these businessmen will also give Lu Bu corresponding help.

The affairs of the various counties are a good illustration. When the businessman discovers some secret actions of the aristocratic family, he will give corresponding reminders to the defenders to help the defenders better deal with the enemy's attack.

If the defenders of the counties lack the corresponding preparations for this battle, it is conceivable what will happen once they face a war. The counties are important cities in Langya. When the counties are defeated, the Qingzhou Army There will be no other worries. Even if Lu Bu leads the elite cavalry, the Qingzhou army will be able to block the edge of the Xuzhou cavalry with the advantage of the city, making it difficult for the Xuzhou cavalry to do more on the battlefield.

Merchants can play a very important role sometimes. When the monarch can make the merchants see more hope, more support will follow.

With the support of more businessmen, the development of the city is no longer empty talk, and it can even maximize the development speed of the city.

The development of Xuzhou and Yanzhou in the past is the best illustration. After Yanzhou and Xuzhou fell under Lu Bu's control, they achieved such rapid development that the princes looked at each other.

There are a lot of credits from the merchants in this. Without the help of more merchants, it is simply impossible for Lu Bu to speed up the development of the rule with Lu Bu's ability.

When such a vassal appears in the eyes of everyone, it can often attract more attention, especially some powerful vassals. They don't want their status to be shaken. If Lu Bu can be eradicated during the battle, The rest is much simpler.

As the saying goes, if the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, even if the Xuzhou Army under the command of Lu Bu had performed well in previous wars, it would be in vain.

Lu Bu has a great reputation among the princes, relying on the strength of the soldiers in the army. It can be said that Yanzhou and Xuzhou can have the current situation because of Lu Bu. If Lu Bu can be eradicated, all of these will become past.

It is very difficult for the army of princes to attack Xuzhou to succeed. First of all, they need to deal with the powerful Xuzhou army. The princes get more benefits from the war.

If not, let the family under Lu Bu see hope, and they will have more support for Lu Bu, because they believe that Lu Bu can win the war and inflict fatal damage on the enemy.

Lu Bu's achievements in wars in the past are very encouraging to the family under Lu Bu's rule. If Lu Bu can win again, the development speed of his rule will be faster. As the family that supports Lu Bu, Even at the most critical moment, if you never leave Lu Bu, you will gain more.

The relationship between the monarch and the family is often like this. If the people of the family want to make their family more developed, it is necessary to pay more attention to the princes. If there is no response to the princes, It is often impossible to ask the princes to give more help to the family.

But anyone who becomes a vassal is shrewd, and the vassals will be happy to do things that are beneficial to the development of the rule. When the existence of aristocratic families has more influence on the rule, when the princes take action, often There will be no more politeness, which is especially evident in Lu Bu.

Lu Bu has a strict attitude when dealing with aristocratic families, which will make the aristocratic families more cautious when making choices. If they make a move that is unfavorable to Lu Bu, these families are clear about what will follow. of.

And after giving Lu Bu more cooperation, they will be able to reap more benefits from Lu Bu's hands, and even make the family's strength stronger, making the family's children become important officials under Lu Bu's rule.

This is the reality. Many families will be more cautious when choosing. After taking refuge in Lu Bu, if they want to get more support from Lu Bu, they must show corresponding value.

Otherwise, their betrayal will bring Lu Bu's revenge.

The Xuzhou Army was dispatched in large numbers, which shocked the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army again.

What frightened the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army most was that in the Xuzhou Army, there appeared the banner of Marquis Wen, the shadow of a famous tree. Lu Bu had a great reputation among the princes, and fighting on the battlefield could make the enemy pay a heavy price.

However, it is even more impossible for any general who is against Lu Bu to win.

In the old days outside Hulao Pass, Lu Bu fought against Liu, Guan and Zhang without losing the wind. This kind of thing was a great shock to the generals under the command of other princes. This made them understand how difficult it is to defeat Lu Bu in a duel. .

Now, Lv Bu led the cavalry to appear outside the camp of the Qingzhou Army. With the strength of the Xuzhou Army and Lv Bu's bravery, how likely is it that the Qingzhou Army would survive the enemy's attack more?

Chapter 956 Lu Bu did a lot of evil, everyone got it and punished him

The war itself was not smooth for the Qingzhou Army, and it was impossible to win the war, and the serious consequences could be expected.

The Xuzhou army fought on the battlefield and won victories in battles, which made the princes look sideways. Under such circumstances, they would have more respect when facing Lu Bu.

The appearance of Lu Bu was a great deterrent to the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army. They did not dare to face the army commanded by Lu Bu, for fear that they would be in danger of dying in such a confrontation.

At the same time, the news that Lu Bu led the army appeared spread among the Qingzhou army at an extremely fast speed. The soldiers of the Qingzhou army who were already panicked now had more fear.

It is said that the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army have also undergone strict training, which should not be the case in the face of war, but the previous attack by the Xuzhou cavalry gave them too much impact, and what the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army saw was the invincible side of the Xuzhou Army , It is almost impossible to win the battle against the Xuzhou Army.

Under such circumstances, soldiers in the army will be more cautious when facing war, or have more fear in their hearts.

Nowadays, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army rely most heavily on the camp they are in. With the camp as a barrier, it is difficult for the Xuzhou cavalry to play a role in the war. What about the means?

If the Xuzhou Army has other means and wins the war, what kind of disaster will the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army experience.

This confrontation is a nightmare for the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army. If possible, they are unwilling to face the Xuzhou Army again.

The wolf-like Xuzhou Army left a deep impression on them. After this army appeared on the battlefield, it brought another defeat to the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army.

In such an urgent situation in Xuzhou, the Xuzhou cavalry was still able to charge the battlefield and defeat the Qingzhou army, which is enough to show the fierceness and strength of the Xuzhou cavalry.

After Liu Bei heard the news, his complexion changed slightly. Although he had heard the news of Lu Bu's arrival during the previous confrontation, he did not pay attention to it. Now that Lu Bu personally leads the army, it shows that there is no problem with the news.

When Lu Bu appeared outside the camp of the Qingzhou Army, it was predictable what kind of panic it would bring to the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army.

Because Lu Bu's reputation among the princes was too loud, so loud that when the princes fought against Lu Bu, they didn't have more courage, and even in the middle of the war, they didn't dare to confront Lu Bu head-on.

When Lu Bu's commander-in-chief appeared on the battlefield, the impact would often be even greater.

Now, after the defeat of the Qingzhou Army in the war, when facing the Xuzhou Army, there is a lot of panic in their hearts. Flee from war.

In such a state as a soldier, if he fought against Lu Bu, he could only die a miserable death.

"Prefect Kong, it's better to go and see him in case you see him. Lu Bu has done a lot of evil, and everyone will be punished. Let the Xuzhou army soldiers see more of Lu Bu's ugly face, which may have a great impact on the morale of the Xuzhou army. Influence." Liu Bei said.

When Kong Rong heard the words, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly in agreement.

At present, the Qingzhou army is in panic. When they are fighting against the Xuzhou army, they don't even have the fighting spirit. Wanting to win the confrontation has become empty talk. If the enemy army comes like this, the army commander still dare not If you show up, the blow to the lieutenant will be even greater.

Besides, Lu Bu's reputation among the princes is very bad. After they go out, they can still do it with righteous words. Perhaps such a thing can bring a big blow to the soldiers of Xuzhou Army.

When the lieutenant generals knew what their monarch looked like in front of other princes, they would inevitably have many doubts in their hearts, but Lu Bu had a very high prestige in the Xuzhou army.

It would be the strangest thing if it could affect the performance of the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army in the ensuing confrontation just by relying on some words.

However, if the Qingzhou Army is dispatched like this, if there is no movement on the battlefield, it will inevitably become a joke among the princes, and the princes will have more disdain when talking about the Qingzhou Army.

Kong Rong is well-known among the literati, and scolding Lu Bu severely can greatly enhance Kong Rong's influence among the literati.

Lv Bu's reputation is poor, and it is a default thing among literati. Even if Xuzhou has a fig leaf like Xuzhou News, it is not easy to improve Lv Bu's reputation in the world.

It is also very obvious what kind of attitude Lu Bu has when he treats the aristocratic family. It is because the literati will not show the slightest mercy when dealing with Lu Bu. What kind of words are the most unpleasant, they will ask Lu Bu. Pour over.

Under such circumstances, Lu Bu's response can only be silent, because when faced with such a thing, he has nothing to do. When the war is going on, it is good that Lu Bu can win, but after such a victory, Will Lu Bu's reputation improve?

Scholars hated Lv Bu a lot because of Lv Bu's reputation. Kong Rong had a great reputation among the princes, and at this time he took the initiative to lead the army to attack Xuzhou, which in itself had merit.

Even if such a war fails to win, it is still a good thing for Kong Rong's reputation.

I tried my best when fighting against the enemy army. Even if I am a scholar, I will not have more complaints about Kong Rong. Besides, even if Lu Bu won the battle against the Qingzhou army, he wants to fight against other princes. It is not an easy task to win in time.

Liu Bei and Kong Rong's Qingzhou army can be said to be the weakest force to attack Lu Bu. Such a victory has encouraged Xuzhou, and how much impact will it have on the subsequent war.

In fact, the crisis in Xuzhou still exists. As long as the Xuzhou army experiences a defeat on the battlefield, the Xuzhou family will see Lu Bu's weakness, and they will think more about it.

The appearance of Liu Bei and Kong Rong above the camp made the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army feel a little more at ease.

Facing the large-scale arrival of the Xuzhou Army, the lieutenant soldiers are still quite nervous. If the Xuzhou Army launches an attack recklessly, it will have a great impact on the Qingzhou Army.

Chapter 957

Just the fierce performance of the Xuzhou Army on the battlefield will make the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army have more fear in their hearts. They don't want to contribute when facing the Xuzhou Army head-on. There is absolutely no hope of victory in the battle.

The strength of the Xuzhou army is also very famous among the princes. When Lu Bu led the Xuzhou cavalry to appear on the battlefield, it often brought painful losses to the enemy.

It is precisely because of the strength of the Xuzhou army that the princes are more cautious when facing Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's success shows that as long as he can defeat the Xuzhou army in the battle, it can dampen Lu Bu's spirit to a large extent, and even make it difficult for the Xuzhou army to do more on the battlefield.

Having said that, it is not an easy task to face the Xuzhou army head-on and win.

If you don't have the corresponding strength when doing this, it is very likely that you will lose the war in the end.

After Kong Rong and Liu Bei appeared, seeing the Xuzhou Army outside the camp, they couldn't help being shocked. The main reason was that the lineup displayed by the Qingzhou Army was too strong.

Nearly [-] cavalry, how amazing it is after setting up a battle on the battlefield.

The banners are fluttering in the wind, and the uniforms of the lieutenant soldiers are bright. They are quietly outside the camp of the Qingzhou Army, as if they are quietly waiting for the order of the general in the army. They only need an order from the general, and they will launch a wilder attack on the enemy. attack.

When facing the Xuzhou army, Liu Bei and Kong Rong also had a lot of tension. They knew how powerful this opponent was.

The inability to win the battle against the Xuzhou army before can explain a lot of problems, but Liu Bei and Kong Rong are not people who give up easily. What they want is to recover from this confrontation. The war pays a higher price.

It's a pity that the Qingzhou Army's re-operation still failed to win, but suffered heavy losses on the battlefield.

Seeing the formation of the Qingzhou Army, Lu Bu couldn't help laughing and said, "Liu Xuande, it seems that you are very afraid of me."

The generals who followed Lu Bu laughed unscrupulously. In fact, when the princes faced Lu Bu head-on, how could they not be afraid in their hearts? Lu Bu has a resounding reputation among the princes. In exchange for victory in the war.

It is very difficult for ordinary princes to win the battle against Lu Bu head-on.

Liu Bei snorted coldly and said, "Lv Bu, you shameless thief, everyone will punish you if you get it, I will lead the lieutenant soldiers here, I wish I could not kill you."

Lv Bu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Liu Xuande, it seems that you are too stable in the plain, how dare you speak such nonsense in front of this lord. Have you forgotten what you failed at the hands of this lord before?"

"Or do you think that with such a camp, the Qingzhou Army can be stabilized?"

Lu Bu's words made the generals of the Qingzhou Army look unnatural. Although the camp of the Qingzhou Army is relatively strong, who can be sure that Lu Bu has no other means when attacking the city? was blown up.

Liu Bei said: "Lu Bu, if you have any means, feel free to use them. I am a courtier of the Han Dynasty. How can I be afraid because of the traitor's words."

In fact, Liu Bei was not sure about Lu Bu, because from Lu Bu's past behavior, it can be seen that this is a monarch who does not play cards according to common sense. The county battlefield is a good illustration.

A prince like Lu Bu has no scruples when facing a war. It is precisely because of this that princes often need to be more cautious when fighting against Lu Bu.

"If this Marquis is a traitor, why did you send envoys to Xuzhou in the past to try to make friends with him? Could it be that you also want to become a traitor?" Lu Bu asked.

Liu Bei's face turned red, "The reason why I sent envoys to Xuzhou at the beginning was for my third younger brother. If it wasn't for this, I would not have bowed to traitors like you."

Liu Bei's words are also righteous. Many people will admire him for being able to do this for the sake of his brothers.

Zhang Fei was moved, and shouted at Lu Bu: "Slave with three surnames, have you forgotten how powerful you are, Grandpa Zhang?"

"The defeated generals are not worth mentioning. If you don't believe me, the three of you brothers will fight together and see how this Marquis will kill you." Lu Bu said disdainfully.

When facing Liu Guanzhang, Lu Bu did have a psychological advantage. In the past, Zhang Fei even captured Lu Bu alive. This is a good proof that it is not easy for generals under the command of the princes to win against Lu Bu. .

Because Lu Bu's martial arts is too strong, when facing the attack of the generals under the command of the princes, what he can do is to deal with it with ease.

It is really too difficult for generals to win in the hands of such princes. If they are not careful during the battle, they will be in danger of falling. Generally, generals will not take risks.

Even Zhang Fei, when facing Lu Bu, had to be cautious. He would inevitably think of how fierce Lu Bu was on the battlefield.

"How dare the thief be so rampant!" Zhang Fei said angrily.

So what if Lu Bu has a great reputation among generals, Zhang Fei is not an easy person, if he retreats in the face of fierce generals, how can he achieve greater achievements in the future.

Liu Bei hastily stopped Zhang Fei. If Zhang Fei fought against Lu Bu at this time, once he failed, the impact on the Qingzhou Army would be even greater. Zhang Fei had captured Lu Bu alive before, and Lu Bu wanted to recruit Zhang Fei. If it fell into Lu Bu's hands again, it would not be that simple.

Besides, Lu Bu was surrounded by strong generals such as Xu Chu and Zang Ba. If Lu Bu made a move on the battlefield, how could the two of them sit idly by, and the morale of the Xuzhou army was high at this time.

Generally speaking, it is almost impossible to gain an advantage against the Xuzhou Army.

Kong Rong said: "Slaves of the three surnames, you occupy Xuzhou and Yanzhou for the purpose of disobeying the destiny. If you catch them early, you may still have a way to survive. Why do you have to let the soldiers and civilians under your rule suffer such turmoil?"

At this time, Kong Rong looked heartbroken, as if Lu Bu had indeed done a lot of shameless things before.

Lv Bu snorted coldly, "Kong Rong, you have a great reputation among literati, but this has no influence on this Marquis. If you fall into Ben Hou's hands, you will definitely be killed directly. "
