The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Although Xu You and Wang Kai were angry in their hearts, there was nothing they could do about it. Lu Bu and Yuan Shu were allies, and Han Yin's treatment in the city must be better than theirs.

The princes attacked each other. In fact, the situation in the world can still be seen through. If there is no accident, the next unlucky one must be Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai. Yanzhou is surrounded by Yuan Shu and Lu Bu. Once Yanzhou is captured, Yuan Shao's The situation will be even more critical unless Yuan Shao can defeat Gongsun Zan and stabilize Jizhou.

Not long after Han Yin left, Xu You and Wang Kai also received orders.

It was Guo Jia who received Xu You.

Guo Jia was just an unknown counselor under Yuan Shao's tent, but Xu You held a pivotal position under Yuan Shao's command, and won Yuan Shao's trust. Guo Jia, a counselor like Guo Jia, would not pay a second glance at ordinary times.

"I've seen Guo engaged in it." Xu You cupped his hands.

Guo Jia bowed his hands and said back: "The envoy doesn't need to be so polite, in fact, I still have a lot of connections with the envoy."

"Where is it, dare I ask?" Xu You asked, if he could have a friendship with the officials that Lu Bu valued, maybe the goal of going to Xuzhou could be achieved.

Guo Jiadao: "In the past, I also served under the lord's account, and was a counselor under the lord's account."

"I see." Xu You's complexion was a little unnatural.

Yuan Shao is the lord of the princes, and a member of the Yuan family of four generations and three lords. Naturally, people with lofty ideals went to seek refuge one after another. It is impossible for so many people to be valued. Some people can only be unknown under Yuan Shao's account. Few people leave.

Guo Jia left Yuan Shao's tent. He must have been dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, and Xu You secretly felt trouble.

In the past, Xu You didn't need to care about Guo Jia, but now the most direct way to see Lu Bu is through Guo Jia. Xu You even suspects that Lu Bu deliberately arranged this matter.

After the two chatted, Guo Jia's performance was remarkable. Faced with Xu You's many temptations, Guo Jia pretended not to know, and deliberately chatted with Xu You about other things, which made Xu You a little confused.

"The envoy from Yangzhou pays homage to Marquis Wen." After entering Lu Bu's room, Han Yin put away the pride he had just been outside and saluted respectfully.

Lu Bu said: "Envoy, please get up, this Marquis and General Yuan have quite a lot of contacts."

"Thank you, Marquis Wen." Han Yin cupped his hands. Yuan Shao and Liu Dai sent envoys, which made him feel uneasy. The current situation in Yanzhou is not very stable. It is a good time to join forces with Lu Bu to attack Yanzhou. If you seize this opportunity , is of great benefit to Yuan Shu.

As for Lu Bu, the status in Yuan Shu's heart is the same as that of Sun Jian in the past, and he only needs to obey Yuan Shu's orders.

But judging from the current situation, would Lu Bu be willing to be Yuan Shu's thug?

Chapter 134

Sun Jian needs to rely on Yuan Shu's power to develop, while Lu Bu is extremely strong. Not to mention other things, just the cavalry in the Xuzhou army is enough for Lu Bu to roam the battlefield.

After the battle against the Qingzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army, Xuzhou recruited troops aggressively, and even the number of cavalry in the army increased to more than [-], all of which showed Lu Bu's ambition.

"General Yuan was able to send an envoy to congratulate Ben Hou on his wedding. I am very happy." Lu Bu laughed.

Han Yin looked around.

Lu Bu understood and ordered the people on both sides to retreat for the time being.

"I don't know how Marquis Wen views the current situation in the world?" Han Yin asked.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "I'm a general. I only know how to mount a horse and fight. How can I see the situation clearly?"

"Marquis Wen, now General Yuan has an absolute advantage. Yuan Shao is keeping Gongsun Zan in Jizhou and cannot take care of Yanzhou and Xuzhou. Marquis Wen and General Yuan are allies. If we send troops together, we will definitely be able to break through Yanzhou and accomplish great things. When Han Yin said this, he seemed a little excited.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "I know what the envoy said, but I don't know what benefits I can get after defeating Yanzhou?"

Han Yin said: "General Yuan appreciates Wen Hou very much. If Yanzhou is defeated, General Yuan will recommend Wen Hou as General Zhengdong."

Lv Bu secretly despises that General Zhengdong is a high-ranking general in the Han army, but it depends on when it is. Now is the era when the princes support their troops and respect themselves. Can official positions be more important than the power in their hands? With enough troops, you can enjoy better treatment.

If Xuzhou is currently fragmented, will Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and others still respect him so much? If you want to get more respect, you need to have enough strength as a support, otherwise, it will only become a joke among the princes.

"Thank you, General Yuan, for your kindness. The envoy will just talk to the military adviser later," Lu Bu said.

What a shrewd person Han Yin is, he immediately felt Lv Bu's dissatisfaction from Lv Bu's attitude, "Now Marquis Wen occupies Taishan County in Yanzhou, Lu State in Yuzhou, and Xuzhou. I respect Marquis Wen, that's why I didn't ask for it, if Marquis Wen helps General Yuan attack Yanzhou, the state of Lu will belong to Marquis Wen."

"General Yuan is very generous." Lu Bu sneered.

Han Yin looked calm, how could he fail to hear the dissatisfaction in Lu Bu's words, before Lu Bu occupied the lands of Pei Guo and Lu Guo, Lu Guo was taken from Liu Dai's hands, if he can return Pei Guo to Yuan Shu, he is already It was a matter of embarrassment to Yuan Shu.

With the current situation, even if Lu Bu refuses to return the Pei Kingdom, Yuan Shu will not turn against Lu Bu because of this.

Yanzhou Shepherd Liu Dai was very jealous of Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao was the same. If Lu Bu was pulled away from Yuan Shu's camp, it would be of greater benefit to Yuan Shao.

"General Yuan and Marquis Wen are allies. I hope Marquis Wen will give more consideration to the matter of attacking Yanzhou," Han Yin said.

Lv Bu nodded and said, "The envoy told General Yuan that after the Marquis has considered this matter properly, he will order someone to inform General Yuan."

"Let me take my leave." Han Yin bowed his hands and saluted.

From Lu Bu's attitude, what he felt was Lu Bu's ambition. The Xuzhou army can send troops to attack Yanzhou, but they must get more benefits from the attack on Yanzhou.

Yuan Shu wanted to completely occupy Yanzhou. In this way, Lu Bu's development path could be completely blocked. As for Lu Bu's development to Qingzhou, Yuan Shu did not have the slightest worry. The situation in Qingzhou was so chaotic. After the Xuzhou army entered Qingzhou, , not only can't let Lu Bu's strength grow, but it will delay a lot. The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are famous for their toughness. Lu Bu.

When Yuan Shu succeeds in annexing Yanzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou will become the most powerful princes in the Han Dynasty.

The matter of receiving Liu Bei's envoy fell on Mi Zhu.

This made Liu Bei's envoy flattered. Currently, Mi Zhu is a noble person in the city. After marrying Lu Bu, the status of the Mi family will rise. If Mi Zhu can be recognized, it will be of great benefit to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei sent envoys here not only to show his favor to Lu Bu, but also to redeem Zhang Fei from Lu Bu.

It was difficult for Liu Bei to complete the conditions that Lu Bu had set out in a short period of time, so he could only hope that he could persuade Lu Bu to succeed.

The plain is a large county in Qingzhou with a large population, but Liu Bei needs to develop his military power in the plain, otherwise just the Yellow Turban's attack will make Liu Bei burnt out.

After the envoys from all walks of life left, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Mi Zhu went to Lu Bu's room to report back.

"My lord, the envoys of the three families have left." Jia Xu cupped his hands.

Lu Bu nodded slightly and said, "What's the attitude of the envoys from the three families?"

After the three of them finished talking about meeting the envoy, Lu Bu turned his attention to Guo Jia and said, "I don't know what Feng Xiao thinks about this matter?"

"The state shepherd, from the humble point of view, the intention of the three families to unite the state shepherd is obvious." Guo Jia said.

"Whether Jizhou Mu or Yangzhou Mu is an existence that cannot be offended, Zhou Mu should be cautious.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "The three families have their own ideas, how can I make them happy?"

From Lu Bu's laughter, the three of them felt strong confidence. If it is said that when Lu Bu first came to rule Xuzhou, the princes of the world and even Xuzhou officials did not have confidence in Lu Bu. Now, they have to carefully weigh it. It's over.

Lü Bu has the power to cause turmoil in the world. Whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, they want to unite with Lv Bu to succeed, thinking that Yuan Shao is the leader of the princes and alliance. Sending envoys here at such a time will inevitably cause people in the world to discuss, but in the real world In the face of the interests of the people, there is no hatred that cannot be resolved.

Yuan Shao was able to oppose Lu Bu in the past, but at this time he was able to stand on Lu Bu's side and justify his name, and these were indeed what Lu Bu needed.

"The lord should continue to maintain the relationship with Yuan Shu." Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu nodded, "It's enough to follow the previous plan. Zizhong is fully responsible for the preparation of food and grass. I don't want a war to happen one day. The soldiers in the army will be defeated by the enemy because of lack of money and food."

"This subordinate takes orders." Mi Zhu cupped his hands.

The preparation of money and food is an important matter in Xuzhou. Lu Bu entrusted him with full power to take charge of this matter, which is enough to show Lu Bu's trust, and the Mi family also needs this kind of trust. When Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, the Mi family carried out a battle Big gamble, now it seems that the original big gamble is right now.

Chapter 135 The Complacent Yuan Shu Envoy

As long as Lu Bu's strength continues to grow, the position of the Mi family will become more and more stable. If someone dares to destroy all this at this time, the members of the Mi family will not be polite in the slightest.

"If there is a war, my lord, why don't you ask the big families in Xuzhou to pay some of the money and food." Jia Xu said.

"Wen He's words are very true. Ben Hou ignored this aspect before. If the aristocratic family wants to get enough benefits from Ben Hou, it has to pay a corresponding price." Lu Bu said with a smile.

Mi Zhu also recognized Jia Xu's words very much. As a member of the aristocratic family, Mi Zhu deeply understood how terrifying the background of the aristocratic family is. Taking Xuzhou as an example, more than [-]% of the land is controlled by the aristocratic family. The more common people occupy only a small number of fields, and most of them are barren fields.

Aristocratic families have means to evade taxes, and their strength has brought about a loss of the interests of the State Shepherd's Mansion.

And the Mi family now absolutely supports Lu Bu. When it comes to preparing money and food, the Mi family does not hesitate to spend their wealth. With the Mi family taking the lead, do the rest of the family dare to disobey the order from the state pastoral mansion.

In the face of absolute strength, if you want to fight against Lu Bu, you must think clearly about the consequences of doing so.

After the four of them conspired, Lu Bu was relieved a lot. The stability of Xuzhou was the top priority. Only when Xuzhou stabilized could he lead the army across the battlefield with peace of mind.

The stronger the strength displayed by the Xuzhou army, the more aristocratic families will gather around Lu Bu.

It is the mission of the family members to grow the family, and Lu Bu wants to use this method to gradually influence the family. As for the land in the hands of the family, the prefectural pastoral government will have enough means to make them pay taxes.

The living conditions of the people are not good, and Lu Bu intends to change all of this, but he cannot offend all the families in Xuzhou. If he does so, the consequences will be serious.

A tyrannical army will pose a great threat to the aristocratic family, but when the state shepherd's mansion stands on the opposite side of all the aristocratic families, it will bring endless troubles to the state shepherd's mansion.

The influence of Lu Bu's wedding did not subside after the wedding ended, and the busiest person during this period was none other than Mi Zhu.

To prepare money, food and materials, the sooner the better, Pengcheng prepared enough fairy jade for Lu Bu's wedding, and sold it at a price of [-] yuan, which will definitely attract merchants. Obtaining a sufficient amount of fairy jade in his hands is a problem that the merchant needs to think about.

As long as there is immortal jade in their hands, these merchants will not worry about selling.

Merchants who have supplies should give priority to transactions, which makes many merchants a little anxious. When they go to Pengcheng to do business, they will definitely travel lightly, buy enough immortal jade, and just transport them away. Who will come before delivering the supplies? exchange.

In response to the eagerness of these merchants, Mi Zhu thought of a way, that is, the merchants can reserve the fairy jade at the current price, and then trade after the materials arrive. During the transaction, half of the transaction will be used in money and half in materials.

After having a solution, the businessman naturally has no reason to refuse.

Behind more businessmen are family members. Through Mi Zhu's behavior, they can see that Xuzhou is planning for the future.

Xuzhou is rich and has plenty of rice and grain. With Xuzhou's wealth, it is enough to support tens of thousands of soldiers, but Lu Bu doesn't seem to be satisfied. For a businessman, having supplies and money is one thing, but for a monarch, there are many differences Yes, sometimes money and food cannot be used as materials.

Especially when the war is going on, the price of goods will rise, and it is most appropriate to control the supplies.

But these aristocratic families couldn't refuse the profit of Xianyu. Even though they saw Lu Bu's ambition through such a move, they still flocked to it. As long as they have money, why not get supplies.

Among them, the aristocratic family in Xuzhou performed the most crazily.

The aristocratic family took out the stored supplies to trade with Mi Zhu, and finally fell into the warehouse of the State Shepherd's Mansion.

There were countless vehicles coming and going, which stunned the envoys of the princes. They did not expect that just Lu Bu's wedding would bring such an effect.

Not to mention him, the number of merchants entering and leaving Pengcheng has reached a terrifying level. How much profit can these merchants bring to Lv Bu by buying immortal jade? From this incident, it can be seen that the production price of immortal jade is far lower than what they imagined That high, otherwise just the fairy jade currently sold in Xuzhou would be able to empty out the state pastoral mansion.

The warehouse in Xuzhou can only enter and not exit, which made the envoys of the princes think more deeply.

At the same time, the envoys of the princes had to admire Lu Bu's means. In this way, the aristocratic family willingly handed over the stored materials to the state pastoral mansion, and they were scrambling to be the first.

It's not that the princes don't have such ability, but that the other princes don't have control over the things that make the family crazy.

Since the appearance of immortal jade, it has been chased by high-ranking officials and nobles. At the beginning, the princes didn't realize anything, and even many princes were using immortal jade. However, as the influence of immortal jade grew, even It is they who want to control, but they cannot.

The control on the surface will not only offend Lu Bu, but also arouse the resentment of the aristocratic family. This is a real profit. It is not aimed at ordinary people, but high-ranking officials and nobles. Whoever can act early in this matter will speed up the growth of the family. will be faster.

The envoys of the princes did not leave. They wanted to know the situation in Xuzhou in detail, and went to the Xuzhou army to check it out. This is what many envoys of the princes need to do.

But Lu Bu is very strict about this matter.

After the news that Guo Jia led Yuan Shu's envoy Han Yin to the army spread, Xu You realized that something was wrong. When Lv Bu was in the most difficult time, Yuan Shao stood up and openly opposed Lv Bu's rule in Xuzhou. It was Yuan Shu who formed an alliance with Lv Bu.

Even though Yuan Shu didn't take any concrete action when the Xuzhou army was fighting, and even made a move to take Pei Guo back from Lu Bu, in terms of relationship, Yuan Shu and Lu Bufei are not comparable to Yuan Shao.

Going to Pengcheng is a heavy responsibility, and Xu You feels it. If Yuan Shao can't get out of Jizhou's crisis this time, his hard work in Jizhou may become the result of others. State Shepherd Liu Yu's order was of little use to Gongsun Zan.

After going to the army to check, Han Yin was full of ambition, and when facing the envoys of other princes, he was proud.

Xu You and the others are acting in secret. They cannot be underestimated by Han Yin's arrogance. Even if they cannot form an alliance with Lu Bu, they must try their best to maintain their relationship with Lu Bu.

Chapter 136

In particular, Wang Kai, the envoy of Yanzhou, saw a deep crisis from the changes in the situation. This was the threat from Yuan Shu and Lu Bu. If Yanzhou could not get out of this crisis, Liu Dai, the shepherd of Yanzhou, would become a thing of the past.

Wang Kai didn't think Lu Bu would let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The envoys of the princes used their own means in Pengcheng, while Lu Bu started the deployment of the war with his advisers.

Judging from the mobilization of the army under Yuan Shu's command, it is very likely that troops will be launched against Yanzhou in the near future.

Lu Bu's attitude towards the envoys of the princes was relatively kind, and he did not directly reject what the princes said.

Ten days later, the envoys of the princes left Pengcheng one after another. Before leaving, Lu Bu gave each envoy a hundred pieces of immortal jade.

"My lord, recently, the amount of immortal jade sold was 60 yuan." Mi Zhu's tone was a little excited.

In just over ten days, the sales volume of Xianyu has such a large scale, which is indeed unexpected. As long as it is a businessman who goes to Pengcheng, there is no reason to return empty-handed. The price of Xianyu is the lowest. Once, you don't need so many for the time being, so you can hoard them.
