As soon as he returned to Xu's house, Xu She got relevant news, heaved a long sigh, and began to prepare for the Xu family's affairs.
The next day, Duyou was dismissed and sent to prison. Xu Ju, the son of Duyou, committed suicide in prison because of fear of crime. The Xu family, which was not weak in Pengcheng, fell apart overnight. After losing their mainstay, their family business can still be kept. .
What is the reason for the change of the Xu family? The other families in the city also have a certain understanding. In their view, this matter is entirely the fault of the Xu family. They even bullied Greetings. It would be the strangest thing if it was not punished.
The occurrence of this incident also made the major families in Pengcheng secretly raise their vigilance, and taught the children in the family to be smart when going out, and not to be caught by others.
Besides, there are very few people who have the height of Lu Bu. Maybe Lu Bu will wear the clothes of ordinary people, but it will definitely be difficult to change his height. When meeting tall people, there is nothing wrong with being polite.
Such things were secretly spread in Pengcheng. After learning about it, Lu Bu shook his head with a wry smile. Height cannot be changed, but now it has become a means for others to identify him. It is really ridiculous.
The decline of the Xu family did not cause turmoil in the city, and even many people kept silent about the matter of the Xu family.
Lu Bu took the opportunity to beat the officials in Xuzhou.
Xuzhou officials dare not underestimate Lu Bu's words. This person is in charge of life and death in Xuzhou. If any family goes to the opposite side of the state pastoral mansion, there will be no good results. The family's strength is huge. Lu Bu The army is still all over Xuzhou, and Lu Bu's current strategy for governing Xuzhou is already obvious.
Xuzhou officials can continue to stay in the Xuzhou officialdom, but the military power is firmly in the hands of Lu Bu. As long as there is a change in the situation, the dispatch of soldiers in the army cannot be tolerated by any family.
Three days later, the people from Jubao Pavilion asked to see him.
Lu Bu showed interest. Since he went to Jubao Pavilion, Lu Bu ordered people to inquire about the situation of Jubao Pavilion in detail, but the inquiring information was not very useful for in-depth understanding of Jubao Pavilion. Now behind Jubao Pavilion is Momen It has been confirmed, and with the mystery of Momen, it is reasonable to find no useful information.
A group of three people entered the State Shepherd's Mansion, and the guards responsible for protecting the State Shepherd's Mansion set their sights on the three of them.
After entering the room, the three of them stepped forward to salute calmly.
"Please sit down." Lu Bu said lightly.
The Momen is a mysterious organization that walks in the dark. The Momen used to be brilliant, but Lu Bu has no specific understanding of the strength of the Momen now.
Li Qing introduced: "These two are the top officials of Momen, Lu Zhi and Lu Xin."
Lu Bu nodded slightly and said, "People who don't know Momen, how do you think about the matter that the Marquis mentioned?"
Li Qing resigned and left sensibly. With her status in Momen, she still can't get in touch with such confidential matters. Sometimes, if she doesn't have a status and knows too much, it will become a burden instead.
"The Mo Sect has already discussed what Wen Hou said. With the help of the Mo Sect, will Wen Hou become king or do something else?" Lu Zhi asked. Straightforward.
Lu Bu didn't relax his vigilance. From the two of them, he felt a slight threat, which shows that the two of them have martial arts.
Chapter 205
Lu Bu said with a smile: "Momen must have a certain understanding of the current situation in the world. Ever since Ben Hou took charge of Xuzhou, he has worked hard to survive. This is how he has the current territory and achieved hegemony. This is the dream of many people. Hou is no exception."
"Perhaps this Marquis has made the people of the Momen have some opinions on some things, but what I want to say is that if the Momen assists Benhou, they will definitely not suffer losses, and the Momen will get as much as they pay." Lu Bu Slowly said.
Lu Xin asked: "Dare to ask Marquis Wen? How do you treat the people? How do you treat other princes?"
"The people are the root of a monarch. Without the people, how can the city under his rule develop, and the soldiers in the army can't get the basic guarantee. When other princes increased taxes, Xuzhou was like this. Do? As for the other princes, in order to survive, this prince has to do some things." Lu Bu said slowly.
The three of them had a long discussion, and Lu Bu was more patient. The help of Momen had a great impact. If successful, the strength of the army would rise to a higher level.
Momen didn't have an attitude of scrutiny, but observed whether Lu Bu was worth what they paid during the conversation.
Momen has been hidden for too many years, once it comes out, it will definitely cause a lot of turmoil, how can anyone among the princes not know the name of Momen.
About an hour later, Lu Xin and Lu Zhi came out of the room.
Lu Bu showed a smile on his face, and the two Momen came to cooperate with him for the time being.
This is good news for Lu Bu. As for the Mo sect trying to blackmail him with such means, Lu Bu will definitely not allow it. He is the master of Xuzhou, and the Mo family came here just to assist.
And through the conversation, Lu Bu also had a certain understanding of the Mohist situation.
The Mohist School lasted for hundreds of years. When the Han Dynasty was stable and prosperous, they could only survive in the dark. The Mohist School also experienced a lot of changes in the middle. The things controlled by the Mohist School will make many forces jealous.
Today's Mohism is not monolithic, Mohism is nowhere to be found, Mohism is divided into three branches, one of which is in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou, and Mohism's organ-making techniques are also divided among the three Mohist families .
Jubao Pavilion is the property of Mo Sect. After Mo Sect is divided into three branches, people in Ju Treasure Pavilion will basically not communicate with each other.
People in Momen are naturally anxious about such a situation.
If the Momen can be unified, it will definitely be of greater benefit to the future development of the Momen, unless the Momen Mozi can appear, the three forces can be reintegrated.
Jizi has a great influence in Momen, who would dare not obey Jizi's orders.
If anyone can find Juzi, Momen can be reintegrated.
Regarding these news, Lu Xin and Lu Zhi didn't hide any more. The two sides are in the initial stage of cooperation. After Lv Bu learns about Momen's situation, he will have more trust in Momen.
In order to express the sincerity of cooperation, the people in Momen will definitely express it, but for such a matter, Lu Xin and Lu Zhi need to discuss further after returning.
If the cooperation with Momen is really reached, it will be of great help to the development of Xuzhou's military power. Other princes must have other methods in secret. No matter Yuan Shu or Liu Biao, there are many families behind them. , it is hard to guarantee that there will be no secrets leaked out.
If the production diagram of the bed crossbow, which is the most powerful city defender in the Han army, is obtained by someone, the improvement in military strength will be obvious. The bed crossbow can not only be used to defend the city, but also can be used unexpectedly when fighting with the enemy. The effect is great.
The range of [-] steps is definitely far beyond imagination, and the crossbow bolts of the bed crossbow, like a simple version of a spear, have amazing penetrating power. It's cold.
When Li Su went to Changyi, Lu Bu also asked Li Su to inquire about this matter.
The ink sect may have a lot of machine-making techniques, but with the ever-changing ink sect, it may be problematic to come up with more equipment-making methods.
After temporarily putting aside the affairs of the Momen, Lu Bu began to deal with the affairs of the army.
It is normal for the soldiers in the army to suffer losses during the battle of a large army. After the battle is over, it is also necessary for the monarch to give due compensation to the soldiers who died on the battlefield.
The amount of compensation is quite a lot in the eyes of the common people, but it is nothing to the State Shepherd's Mansion, and by doing so, it will be the ownership of the soldiers in the army.
No one wants to have their family members not get the slightest compensation after they died in battle, and even have to bear the pain of losing their loved ones.
Let the people see the security after entering the army, and they will not be more repulsed by entering the army. Some soldiers who have military merits and return home are also good publicity for the army.
Who doesn't want their children to be able to stand out, to be fed and clothed in the army, and to be promoted after they have made merit. This kind of treatment is extremely good for young and strong.
After the victory of the Xuzhou Army, the patrol in Pengcheng had a great impact on the young and strong in the city, and they also wanted to be one of them.
After the matter of compensation and burial of the fallen soldiers was properly handled, the prefectural pastor's office issued an order to recruit troops. There were [-] soldiers who followed Lu Bu back from the Yanzhou battlefield, and the rest stayed in Yanzhou.
The establishment of the Yanzhou army does not mean that it relies entirely on recruits. What kind of combat effectiveness can such an army have.
Lu Bu allowed Pengcheng to mobilize 3 soldiers and horses. Once a war broke out, an army of [-] troops could be dispatched at any time.
At present, the Xuzhou army needs to recruit 3 troops. Lu Bu's order is to recruit 2 troops and select [-] from the [-]. This method of conscription is not available among other princes.
Besides, the conscription of other princes is also very simple. Directly issue an order, the young and strong are sent to the army, and the generals of each department are selected and trained, and equipped with weapons, they can go to the battlefield. It doesn't seem to matter too much, the monarch will not take the lives of ordinary soldiers at heart.
After the ordinary soldiers died, there were still young and strong under the rulers of the princes, just add them in.
This is also the status quo of many princes.
The Xuzhou army is different. Ever since he took charge of Xuzhou, Lu Bu has attached great importance to the affairs of the army. What he needs is a more elite Xuzhou army. Only by using elite soldiers to fight against the enemy can Xuzhou become more stable and win war after war. Only with victory will there be such a greater possibility.
What the princes need is a large army, and what Lu Bu needs is an elite. This is why Xuzhou's army is invincible on the battlefield.
Chapter 206
Just from Lu Bu's investment in the army, it can be seen that no prince has the courage of Lu Bu.
Replacement of the blade armor of the lieutenant officers and soldiers, these blade armors are still excellent in the eyes of some soldiers who live in the rear.
Conscription is 2, only 1 people are required, which means that the state pastoral government has to bear the consumption of an extra [-] people. This method is not cost-effective, but in Lu Bu's view, it is very worthwhile.
What Xuzhou lacks most at present is money, food and materials. With the attraction of immortal jade and hundred-refined weapons, the merchants under the rule of the princes are flocking to them. Even if the princes can't sit back and watch, how can they stop the merchants under the rule.
If you want to get immortal jade, you can do it with money, but if you want to get the hundred-refined weapon, you need to pay for materials, and it is impossible for ordinary merchants to successfully trade the hundred-refined weapon.
One hundred refined weapons must be strictly controlled.
The strength of the aristocratic family should not be underestimated. If the aristocratic family is allowed to hoard a large number of hundred-refined weapons in secret, what kind of impact will it have? This will pose a huge threat to the stability of the city. Better control of the hundred-refined weapons , is the best policy.
You can trade Hundred Refined Weapons with officials sent by the princes, but you cannot trade with ordinary merchants.
Besides, the purchase of Hundred Refined Weapons by ordinary merchants is itself suspicious.
The news of Xuzhou's conscription and Yanzhou's conscription quickly spread to the princes, which forced the princes to re-examine Lu Bu's strength. The combined strength of Xuzhou and Yanzhou reached 6. After being dispersed in various cities, it seems that there are not many. Once there is a war, how spectacular it will be when these armies gather together.
Besides, the difference of the Xuzhou army is that the army outside Pengcheng exists alone, and the rest of the counties recruit soldiers for defense. This means that Lu Bu can dispatch far more than 6 soldiers.
Yuan Shu occupied such affluent places as Yangzhou and Yuzhou. After Lu Bu ruled and added most of Yanzhou, he should not be underestimated.
On the battlefield between Yanzhou and Pengcheng, Lv Bu and Yuan Shu had conflicts. Why did Yuan Shu not send troops to attack the city after Lv Bu took advantage of it? He had to think carefully.
It is difficult to completely conceal the situation on the battlefield.
"My lord, there is an envoy from Jizhou." Jia Xu cupped his hands.
Lu Bu asked, "An envoy sent by Yuan Shao?"
During this change in the world, Yuan Shao also made a lot of limelight, defeating the world-renowned White Horse General Gongsun Zan, and stabilized Jizhou.
"Exactly." Jia Xu said, "My lord defeated Cao Cao on the Yanzhou battlefield, which caused Yuan Shu a lot of losses. It will definitely make Yuan Shao develop a friendship. It is also reasonable to send envoys here."
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Wenhe is in charge of receiving the envoys from Yanzhou."
"Here." Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "From my subordinate's point of view, my lord might as well make friends with Yuan Shao in secret."
"Wenhe, let's talk about it in detail."
"Yuan Shao has a good reputation among the lords. Although he did something to denounce the lord before, as long as there is a conflict between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the lord can benefit from it." Jia Xu said.
"Wen He's words do have some truth," Lu Bu said.
The person who was ordered to come to Xuzhou this time was Xu You, an important counselor under Yuan Shao's command. When Lu Bu got married, Xu You had been to Pengcheng, and had an unpleasant incident with Yuan Shu's envoy in Pengcheng.
At that time, the situation in Jizhou was worrying. If Yuan Shao could get Lu Bu's support, it would be of great benefit to Yuan Shao to stabilize Jizhou.
Yanzhou Liu Dai supported Yuan Shao, but Liu Dai's power was not small compared to Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's. If he was eliminated by Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, it was very possible that if he succeeded in uniting with Lu Bu, he would be able to contain Yuan Shu.
In fact, Yuan Shao and the officials under his rule did not expect that after Lu Bu took control of Xuzhou, he would have such achievements. He not only stabilized Xuzhou, but also defeated the invasion of Qingzhou Army and Yanzhou Army. Realize the horror of Lu Bu.
Lu Bu is a fierce tiger, and together with Lu Bu, Yuan Shu can be restrained.
When Liu Dai was in charge of Yanzhou, it would be difficult for Yuan Shao to succeed, because Lu Bu also wanted to benefit from Yanzhou, but the situation is different now, because of the incident in Yanzhou, the relationship between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu broke down, which also made Yuan Shao Saw an opportunity.
With Lv Bu's restraint, Yuan Shu will devote more energy to Lv Bu. Yuan Shu, who has suffered a big loss, will not let it go. The current two sides can still live in peace because Yuan Shu is afraid of Lv Bu's strength.
Entering Pengcheng again, Xu You had different feelings. Pengcheng itself is a wealthy city, and under Lu Bu's governance, it became even more prosperous.
Why don't the princes want to get the method of making immortal jade from Lu Bu? This is something that can bring huge wealth, and many businessmen will flock to it. Even many families in Jizhou can't keep calm in front of immortal jade.
Lv Bu's monopoly on immortal jade left the princes with no better solution. They could only secretly send people to Xuzhou to try to obtain the production method of immortal jade by other means. Among them, the Mi family faced the greatest challenge.
The Mi family is responsible for the sales of the immortal jade. In many people's opinion, the immortal jade must have been contributed by members of the Mi family who turned to Lu Bu, and borrowed Lu Bu's hand to make the Mi family grow stronger.
The Mi family has a close relationship with Lu Bu, especially after the marriage, it is basically impossible to instigate the Mi family from Lu Bu's camp.
Marriage is a method often used by families, and this method is also the simplest and most effective. Marriage will make the relationship between the two parties more stable.
Since they can't impress the Mi family, they can act in secret.
Xu You came to Pengcheng not only for the purpose of uniting with Lu Bu, but also for the purpose of obtaining a hundred-refined weapon.
However, Xu You also understood that joining forces with Lv Bu would definitely require a lot of effort. Lv Bu is a domineering military commander. After Lv Bu occupied Xuzhou, Yuan Shao's condemnation would definitely make Lv Bu feel dissatisfied.
Before coming to Xuzhou, Xu You had conducted in-depth research on Lu Bu. Judging from the series of actions taken by Lu Bu after he entered Xuzhou, Lu Bu was not as simple as outsiders imagined. Stabilize Xuzhou, defeat Qingzhou Army and Yanzhou Army, and achieve such a big victory on the battlefield of Yanzhou.
At this time, Lu Bu had become a veritable vassal, and his position among the vassals was obtained by Lu Bu's victory in the war. Facing such a vassal, others would be more cautious.
"I've heard that Pengcheng is prosperous, but seeing it today, it's true." Xu You laughed.
Chapter 207 Lu Bu Sees Xu You
Jia Xu said: "The envoy praised it absurdly. Xuzhou is far from Jizhou. The population of Jizhou is twice that of Xuzhou." Jia Xu said.
Xu You felt complacent. Although Jizhou is a state, it can be compared with Xuzhou and Yanzhou in terms of heritage.
"Pengcheng immortal jade is famous all over the world. There are many immortal jades for sale in Jizhou. Marquis Wen's means of earning money are admirable." Xu You said.
Jia Xu frowned slightly. It seemed that this sentence was praising Lu Bu, but it contained other meanings. The status of businessmen in this era is low. If it is true that Lu Bu participates in business, it will affect Lu Bu's reputation. Lv Bu's reputation is bad, but it doesn't mean that Jia Xu will allow others to belittle Lu Bu.
