The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

"Could it be that my lord is referring to Zhang Zibu?" Jia Xu asked.

Lu Bu said: "Zhang Zibu has a great talent and is good at internal affairs. However, Zhang Zibu has a lot of dissatisfaction with this Marquis. It may be difficult to make him sincerely rely on him."

Jia Xu pondered for a long time and said: "My lord, I think of a plan, maybe I can make Zhang Zhao submit."

"Tell me in detail." Lu Bu showed interest.

"Among the Zhang family, Zhang Zhao's ability is the most outstanding, and he seems to be the representative of the Zhang family. However, the current situation of the Zhang family is not very good. The Zhang family is in Xuzhou, and there are no prominent officials to support it. What’s more, it’s easier said than done, even some properties of the Zhang family have been affected to varying degrees, according to the information from the humble official, the members of the Zhang family clashed with others because of a piece of fertile land outside the city.” Jia Xu said.

"The meaning of Wenhe is to let this Marquis take action, so that the Zhang family will be grateful?" Lu Bu asked.

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Zhang Zibu is not an ordinary person. How could he care about such a small favor? My lord only needs to ignore this matter, and even secretly order someone to embezzle the Zhang family's assets."

Lu Bu thought for a while, then smiled and said, "If you have writing and skills, you will definitely succeed."

Chapter 240

"My lord, Zhang Zhao is an intelligent person, so he will definitely see that the State Shepherd's Mansion is behind this matter." Jia Xu said, "But my lord is using a conspiracy, even if Zhang Zhao knows that the State Shepherd's Mansion secretly There is no better way to promote it, so Zhang Zhao still dares to ask the lord Xingshi for his crimes."

Lu Bu nodded happily. With Zhang Zhao's help, more problems will be avoided when governing the region.

There is a specialization in art, and Lu Bu is confident when he marches and fights, but he needs specialized talents to govern the country.

The development under the rule is even more related to the life and death of the princes. Just imagine how the people under the rule are few and the tax revenue is too little, how can more troops be supported.

In troubled times, strength is the most important. This strength not only refers to the elite soldiers, but also the prosperous rulers as a backdrop, so that they can stand among the princes.

"Wen He can be responsible for this matter. What the Marquis needs to see is Zhang Zhao's support." Lu Bu said.

"You must do your best in a humble position." Jia Xu cupped his hands.

After leaving Lu Bu's room, Jia Xu immediately started to arrange the matter.

It wasn't that Zhang Zhao was unwilling to let the Zhang family leave, but that the Zhang family had a great family and business. It was not easy for the Zhang family to leave Xuzhou in a short time. Changes, what kind of consequences will follow.

It is very difficult to transfer assets.

The members of the Zhang family were naturally dissatisfied with Lu Bu. If it weren't for Lu Bu, the members of the Zhang family might have left Xuzhou, a place of right and wrong.

Xuzhou is the place where the Four World Wars took place. Lu Bu, who occupied Xuzhou, showed great strength, and he still can't change this point. Just like the turmoil in Pengcheng before, it is the best illustration. The army of Yuzhou can enter Pengcheng at any time, threatening Pengcheng's safety.

If you followed Lu Bu all the way to Hei, the most likely situation would be the family's downfall.

However, the Zhang family has encountered certain troubles recently. The reason is that a thousand acres of fertile land, a thousand acres of fertile land, is not a small amount for a family in Xuzhou. If they get a thousand acres of fertile land, the strength of their family can be further improved.

The members of the Zhang family fell in love with Liangtian, but they clashed with another Zhang family.

The other Zhang family is the Zhang family where Zhang Kai lives.

Zhang Kai used to be the captain of Pengcheng, but now he is a senior general in the Xuzhou army, and he also has a certain status in the city. The Zhang family where Zhang Zhao lives may be more prosperous than the Zhang family where Zhang Kai lives. But Zhang Kai will not stop because of this.

In fact, the major families will not easily make concessions on issues related to family development. Who doesn't want the family behind them to grow further? big help.

The children of the aristocratic family, adding bricks and tiles to the power of the family, are also making further efforts for themselves.

Especially after getting Jia Xu's hint, Zhang Kai felt relieved a lot, and intensified his efforts to put pressure on the Zhang family.

At this time, it is no longer a matter of a thousand acres of fertile land, but a matter of the face of the family, and a breath of life. In the past, when the Zhang family was powerful in Xuzhou, the family Zhang Kai belonged to was just a weak family, but now it has been oppressed. On the head of the Zhang family, I can't bear it.

Many of the Zhang family's children are also officials. Although their status is not prominent, if the Zhang family raises its power, many families will be afraid of it.

Just because Zhang Zhao can see what's going on behind this incident doesn't mean that the rest of the Zhang family will do the same.

The children of the Zhang family were furious, and they were bound to seek face from Zhang Kai.

All the children in the family were like this, Zhang Zhao could only keep silent, who made the Zhang family live under Lu Bu's rule, if Tao Qian was in charge of Xuzhou, it would definitely not be the case.

Every family has many tenant farmers. On this day, two tenant farmers from the Zhang family in Pengcheng started a shopping spree.

After learning about this, Zhang Zhao hurried back to the mansion. If such a thing happened outside the city, it would definitely alarm Lv Bu. At this time, if there is something in Lv Bu's hands, it will be even more unfavorable to the Zhang family's situation. After taking control of Xuzhou, Zhang Kai gave Lu Bu a lot of help, which is unmatched by the Zhang Zhao family.

"Father, if such a thing happens outside the city, stop it immediately." Zhang Zhao said eagerly.

Zhang Zhao's father, Zhang Yu, also sensed something was wrong. He has been in charge of the Zhang family for many years. The Zhang family has always adhered to the strategy of slow development, not to be enemies with the powerful families in Xuzhou, and to make friends as much as possible. After Lu Bu's arrival, great changes took place.

Although Zhang Zhao was an official in the State Shepherd's Mansion, it was clear that he did not get Lu Bu's attention, and he was just an ordinary official.

Under such circumstances, some families who are dissatisfied with the Zhang family will definitely take action secretly to weaken the strength of the Zhang family as much as possible. At the beginning, the members of the Zhang family were able to endure. Lu Bu's rule in Xuzhou became more and more stable, and these families intensified.

The development of any family has something dishonorable. Their growth may be based on the fact that the interests of other families have been compromised. The number of fields outside the city is limited, and some families get more. Other families will definitely have less.

"Immediately tell the person in charge of the Zhang family to stop, and immediately inform the government office of this matter." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Zhao nodded, and immediately sent someone to convey Zhang Yu's order.

"If Zibu could reach a higher position in the State Shepherd's Mansion, how would the Zhang family be in the current situation." Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Zhaodao: "Father, it's not that the child doesn't want to do this. Father must know who Wenhou is. Following Lu Bu, it may bring disaster to the family."

In the past, if Zhang Zhao said this, Zhang Yu might nod his head in agreement, but the Zhang family has experienced a lot of oppression in the city, and this situation also made Zhang Yu very angry, and all of this was because of Zhang Zhao's choice. Many people in the Zhang family had doubts about Zhang Zhao's choice. Since he was an official under Lu Bu, why didn't he want to go further.

Zhang Zhao is a representative of the Zhang family, which does not mean that other people will listen to Zhang Zhao's words because of this. They want to make the family develop further, and there is nothing wrong with their thinking.

"Zibu, are the Chen family and Mi family in Xuzhou weaker than the Zhang family?" Zhang Yu said, "Why did the two families choose to assist Marquis Wen? It's because Marquis Wen has such strength."

Chapter 241 Imprisoned

"The sooner you seek refuge, the more support your family will receive. Zibu's talent will definitely be reused under Marquis Wen's command."

"That Zhang Kai is just a general in the army. After betraying Tao Qian, he has the status he has now and dares to show off his power in front of the Zhang family. If things go on like this, who will put the Zhang family in their eyes?"

Zhang Zhao hesitated to speak. Although Zhang Yu's words were very reasonable, deep down in his heart, he was against Lu Bu. Lu Bu's display was too domineering, and it was the same in the state pastoral mansion. Finish it on time without delay, otherwise, the State Shepherd's Office will be punished.

Although such a monarch can achieve success in a short period of time, what will happen in the future?

Around Lu Bu, there is a powerful Yuan Shu. Xuzhou is stable because Yuan Shu has not decided to tear himself apart from Lu Bu. Judging from the current situation, war will break out between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu sooner or later. In this battle against Yuan Shu , Can Lu Bu lead the Xuzhou Army to continue to grow?

These are all unknown. Yuan Shu is a member of the Yuan family, a well-known family, and he cannot be influenced by a brave military general. Xuzhou and Yanzhou are secretly uncertain how many families want to have contacts with the Yuan family. It can be said that as long as Yuan Shu Spreading the news in Xuzhou will inevitably get the support of many families.

When dealing with Tao Qian, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu, the methods Lu Bu showed are indeed not to be underestimated. It does not mean that Lu Bu will have the upper hand when he fights Yuan Shu in the future. It will become a passing cloud.

"Zibu should think more about it. How can there be a happy land for the princes to fight in melee? If they don't do something at such a time, it will bring greater suffering to the family." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "Father, I will definitely think about this matter more, and the best policy is to deal with the affairs outside the city."

"Hmph, no matter what, this thousand acres of fertile land belongs to the Zhang family. If Zhang Kai wants to get a hand in it, how could it be such a cheap thing." Zhang Yu snorted coldly.

Zhang Zhao had a bitter look on his face. It was a thousand acres of fertile land outside the city. Even if he didn't get it, it didn't matter to him. Besides, what Zhang Zhao always wanted to do was to get the Zhang family out of Xuzhou.

However, the members of the family have different ideas from him. They want to develop the family in Xuzhou.

Xuzhou under Lu Bu's rule is currently stable and will be of great help to the development of the family. Even after going to Jiangdong, so what? After Sun Ce entered Jiangdong, many wars broke out in Jiangdong.

Xuzhou's prosperity comes from Lu Bu. With more cooperation with the State Shepherd's Mansion, the Zhang family's benefits will be astonishing.

Sometimes Zhang Zhao wondered why the Mi family and the Chen family made such a choice, and what kind of benefits Lu Bu gave to the two families, so that the two families were willing to work by Lu Bu's side, which one was not Chen Deng or Mi Zhu? shrewd person.

This will inevitably cause doubts in Zhang Zhao's heart.

After the battle outside the city was reported to the State Shepherd's Mansion, there were army officers and soldiers going there immediately, and such a battle broke out outside the city, that's not bad.

When the army came, the fight between the two tenant farmers stopped immediately, and the strong and sharp soldiers put a lot of pressure on them.

They don't have the guts to fight against the army.

The important figures of the two families wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave, but they were blocked by soldiers in the army.

The two important figures were taken away by the soldiers in the army, and as for the tenant farmers, they were taken into custody.

In this battle between the two families, more than a dozen people lost their lives, and hundreds of people were injured, many of whom were seriously injured.

Lu Bu issued an order to strictly investigate the matter that day, but anyone who directed this operation will be sent directly to prison, awaiting review.

Although it is normal for such a thing to happen among aristocratic families, Lu Bu will not allow such things to happen under his rule. Obediently obey the orders of the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Zhang Zhao's two younger brothers were imprisoned, as was Zhang Kai's elder brother Zhang Qi.

Such a situation made the three of them a little panicked. The three of them had heard about Lu Bu's methods. It is conceivable what the fate would be if they fell into Lu Bu's hands at this time.

Compared with the worries of Zhang Yan and Zhang Kang, Zhang Zhao's younger brothers, Zhang Qi was much better. As an important general in the Xuzhou army, Zhang Kai was able to speak in front of Lu Bu.

After Zhang Kai took refuge in Lu Bu, the family behind him got a lot of benefits. Pengcheng has such astonishingly profitable things like fairy jade, and it only needs to be obtained by Zhang Kai's family at a slightly lower price. It is a huge benefit.

Relatively speaking, the Zhang family where Zhang Zhao lives has suffered a lot.

This is a matter between the major families in Xuzhou, and the State Shepherd's Mansion will not intervene, but if such a large-scale battle occurs outside the city, it will not work.

"Zhang Yan, Zhang Kang, you two will not end well if you fight against the Zhang family. What outstanding people are there in your Zhang family? Zhang Zhao is just an ordinary official in the state pastoral mansion, and my younger brother is General of the Xuzhou Army." Zhang Qi snorted coldly.

Zhang Yan glared at each other angrily, "If you put it in the past, how dare you, the Zhang family, dare to act presumptuously in front of the Zhang family."

"When we're in the prison, we still have leisure and elegance to continue arguing. It seems that we don't pay attention to the prison in Xuzhou." Wei Xu walked over with a sneer.

"General Wei." Zhang Qi hastily saluted. Presumptuousness in front of Zhang Yan and Zhang Kang does not mean that he dares to do this to Wei Xu. Wei Xu is a famous general under Lu Bu's command. He has followed Lu Bu for many years and won Lu Bu's trust. If you offend Wei Xu, the consequences will be the most serious.

Zhang Yan and Zhang Kang hurriedly saluted.

Wei Xu cast his eyes on Zhang Qi and said, "Are you General Zhang Kai's younger brother?"

"Report to General Wei, that's right." Zhang Qi said excitedly.

"Well, General Zhang Kai has ordered someone to intercede with this general. This general will definitely handle this matter fairly." Wei Xu nodded.

"Thank you General, thank you General." Zhang Qi thanked again and again.

The meaning in Wei Xu's words was too obvious. Zhang Kang and Zhang Yan also felt that something was wrong. Zhang Zhao may have such a certain influence among literati, and if he put it on the generals in the army, would it still work? Xuzhou Army The situation in the middle is very different from when Tao Qian was in charge of Xuzhou.

"In front of this general, if you want to play other methods, there is no door. 12 people died outside the city. This incident has already alarmed the state pastoral government." After Wei Xu finished speaking, he turned and left.

Chapter 242 Zhang Zhao Sees Jia Xu

It wasn't until Wei Xu's figure disappeared that Zhang Qi put away his respectful appearance and said with a sneer, "Zhang Kang, Zhang Yan, aren't your elder brothers serving as officials in the state pastoral mansion? Intercede? Could it be that the Zhang family gave up on you two?"

"Zhang Qi, being so arrogant will not end well in the future." Zhang Kang shouted.

Zhang Qi laughed nonchalantly and said: "I don't know what will happen in the future, but the two of you must be unlucky. How dare you want to get good land from the Zhang family, it's just wishful thinking."

"Zhang Qi, those fertile fields were clearly the ones that the Zhang family took a fancy to first, but you want to intervene in them. It's clearly your fault." Zhang Yan retorted.

"It's right and wrong, General Wei will naturally make a judgment."

Hearing the words, the two brothers turned pale and waited for Wei Xu's verdict. I am afraid that things will develop on the more unfavorable side to the Zhang family. With Zhang Kai backing them, even if the members of the Zhang family get some care in prison, they will be fine. within reason.

The aristocratic families are united with each other and have great influence, but in Xuzhou's prison, no one dares to disobey Lu Bu's order.

That night, Zhang Kang and Zhang Yan suffered from insomnia. After they thought about the Zhang family, after some analysis by the two brothers, they felt that the future of the Zhang family was bleak. The main reason was that the Zhang family did not get Lu Bu. In other words, the Zhang family did not perform at all in this regard.

If possible, Zhang Kang and Zhang Yan also wanted to be officials, but after Lu Bu took control of Xuzhou, the situation in Xuzhou was very stable, so it was temporarily delayed.

Only after becoming an official can he use the power in his hands to obtain more benefits for the family he belongs to. Zhang Zhao is full of talent and unwilling to do so, it does not mean that the children of the Zhang family do not have such ideas.

Zhang Kai's family is now bullying the Zhang family, which is not bad. After the news is spread, how does the Xuzhou family treat the Zhang family, and what face do they have to make friends with the dignitaries in Xuzhou.

The more descendants of the aristocratic family, the more attention will be paid to their own face.

The next day, when the sky was bright, Zhang Zhao came outside the prison.

Knowing that Zhang Yan, Zhang Kanglian and his brothers were imprisoned, Zhang Zhao realized the seriousness of the matter.

If the Zhang family has a handle on this kind of matter and it falls into the hands of Lu Bu, what will happen? With Lu Bu's character, will he let it go easily? It is impossible to prevent the Zhang family from paying the price.

After taking control of Xuzhou, many famous families in Xuzhou were eradicated by Lu Bu, and they betrayed the monarch, which is unbearable for any prince.

During this process, the Zhang family maintained a silent attitude, which had a great impact on the Zhang family.

After Zhang Zhao revealed his identity, the soldiers guarding the prison did not dare to make decisions without authorization. They reported to Wei Xu and got permission before allowing Zhang Zhao to enter.

After walking out of the prison, Zhang Zhao's complexion was a little gloomy.

This matter is a matter of the two Zhang families, but if a tenant farmer dies due to a fight, the state pastoral government has the right to intervene.
