The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Once Yuan Shu made up his mind, the four of them would try their best to give Yuan Shu an advantage in this battle.

In May, the Yangzhou army was frequently mobilized, which attracted the attention of Xuzhou and Yanzhou. The soldiers and horses of Chenliu County and Jiyin County increased to 5000 respectively. Normally, the soldiers and horses of Chenliu County and Jiyin County were about [-].

The same is true for the mobilization of troops in Yuzhou.

In Pengcheng, in the State Shepherd's Mansion, after listening to Jia Xu's report, Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly. From the mobilization of Yuan Shu's army, he felt the taste of conspiracy.

Yuan Shu is powerful and has a very high status among the princes. Among the current princes, even Yuan Shao is difficult to form a confrontation with Yuan Shu. If not, Yuan Shao still sent envoys to Pengcheng many times.

"What does Feng Xiao think about this?" Lu Bu turned his attention to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "My lord, in view of my humble position, this is Yuan Shu's intention to attack Xuzhou."

"And why?" Lu Bu asked.

Guo Jiadao: "Yuan Shu added more troops to the Yanzhou army, but did not mobilize a large number of troops to Yanzhou. This is precisely because he wanted to openly fight with the lord. He was worried that Chenliu County and Jiyin County would take the opportunity to win for the lord. The mobilization of soldiers and horses in Yuzhou was the most frequent. , Judging from the news from the detailed work, Yuan Shu intends to directly attack Pengcheng."

Lv Bu sneered, "Yuan Shu can only mobilize more than a hundred thousand troops, and the Marquis has tens of thousands of elite troops under his command. How could it be as easy as he imagined to break through Pengcheng?"

"My lord, Yuan Shu is very powerful, and the Yuan family has a lot of influence among the aristocratic families. If a protracted war breaks out between the two sides, Xuzhou will definitely be greatly affected." Guo Jia said.

"Feng Xiao's words have a certain truth. If Yuan Shu wants to compete with me, how can I be afraid?" Lu Bu said.

Jia Xu got up and said, "I believe that the current focus is to secretly investigate Xuzhou's support for Yuan Shu, and pay close attention to the situation in Xuzhou and Yanzhou."

Lu Bu nodded in agreement.

Then the two conducted a detailed analysis of the possible situation.

If Yuan Shu wants to mobilize troops, what kind of turmoil will it cause to Xuzhou, and how many people will lose their lives because of the war.

The Xuzhou army had a reason to fight. As Guo Jia and Jia Xu analyzed, many officials in Xuzhou would secretly seek refuge with Yuan Shu. Although the craftsmen outside the city were built in the mountains, if Yuan Shu broke through, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Yuan Shu wants to drive me out of Xuzhou, and I want to take Yuzhou from Yuan Shu's hands. In this case, who can threaten the safety of Pengcheng?" Lv Bu said with a smile: "There are Wenhe and Feng With filial piety, the Marquis will be invincible."

Guo Jia and Jia Xu didn't even dare to talk, they could feel the admiration in Lu Bu's words, but it is absolutely important to maintain the necessary modesty and prudence in front of the monarch.

The meritorious deeds of the Lord, when the credit of the ministers under the rule exceeds that of the monarch, it may bring disasters to the ministers.

Many literati have a big man in their hearts, and they want to change the status quo of the big man through their own efforts, so that the big man can prosper.

"Pay close attention to the movements of Yangzhou and Yuzhou. If there is an emergency, please inform Benhou immediately." Lu Bu said.

After Jia Xu and Guo Jia bid farewell and left, they were also a little excited. This time the Xuzhou Army was facing the Huainan Army, which is known as an elite division. After gaining power, what will be attracted will be the wholehearted efforts of the ruling family.

Benefits will closely link the monarch and the aristocratic family. Sometimes, it is not because some families are unwilling to cooperate with the monarch, but because they do not feel the power that can make the family develop further from the monarch. If you want to persuade better, you must have corresponding strength.

From a brave general to a powerful prince, Lu Bu gradually understood the truth.

Both Xuzhou and Yanzhou are making intensive preparations, but the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou and Xuzhou have not been mobilized in large numbers. Pengcheng and Changyi both have [-] soldiers and horses. These are the most elite armies of the two states. If there is a war, they will go to the battlefield without hesitation to fight against the enemy.

Responding to all changes with the same is one of the strategies adopted by Lu Bu.

If possible, Lu Bu is unwilling to turn against Yuan Shu at this time. Yanzhou and Xuzhou are developing steadily. Lu Bu is powerful and has more families to choose to rely on. Relying on the strength of these families, Lu Bu can gradually develop The strength will make the operation of Yanzhou and Xuzhou more stable.

The outbreak of the war not only means the bloodshed of the soldiers, but also the turmoil of the city. Pengcheng is the state government of Xuzhou, and it is also the most core place under Lu Bu's rule. The geographical location of Pengcheng is determined. After Yuan Shu has other thoughts, Pengcheng will certainly endure turmoil.

However, when the war came, Lu Bu would not have the slightest fear. Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time, and strict requirements for lieutenant officers and soldiers in ordinary training, is it not for preparing for wars that may break out in the future.

According to Jia Xu and Guo Jia's analysis, Yuan Shu's method is definitely not as simple as attacking Xuzhou on the surface.

Moreover, the Black Clothes Pavilion assassin who was active in Pengcheng before may have a certain relationship with Yuan Shu. As the overlord of the lords, Yuan Shu must want to plan Xuzhou. When Lv Bu entered Xuzhou, it greatly affected Yuan Shu's plan. .

Tao Qian was in charge of Xuzhou, and Lu Bu was in charge of Xuzhou, but there was a big difference. Even if Tao Qian was on Yuan Shao's side, he would not dare to mobilize an army to attack Yuan Shu at will.

If it were Lu Bu, the situation would be very different. Lu Bu is a military general with a tough personality. After losing his interests, it is very possible to mobilize the army.

As long as Lu Bu is eradicated, Xuzhou will fall into turmoil, even Yanzhou.

Otherwise, how to explain that after the assassins of the Black Clothes Pavilion acted in Pengcheng, Lei Bo would lead an army to raid Pengcheng.

In the dark, the princes will definitely have other means to help the monarch solve some things that cannot be done on the bright side.

The power of the Black Clothes Pavilion is very powerful, and it is hard to guard against. After the assassination of the Black Clothes Pavilion assassin, Lu Bu replaced many servants in the mansion. Even so, it is difficult to truly prevent the Black Clothes Pavilion assassin from taking any action .

Blindly defending is not in Lu Bu's character. It is very necessary to find out the power of the Black Clothes Pavilion as much as possible and give the Black Clothes Pavilion a head-on blow. Only by letting the enemies hidden in the dark feel fear can they have more Much awe.

Chapter 249

After leaving the State Shepherd's Mansion, Lu Bu went to Jubao Pavilion. Last time, it was through the power of Jubao Pavilion that he was able to find Xiu'er who was controlled by Heiyi Pavilion. This also made Lu Bu admire the power of Momen with admiration.

This is Pengcheng. The Black Clothes Pavilion can have such a great influence in the city. Its strength can be seen as mediocre. It is very necessary to maintain a better relationship with Momen.

The strong crossbow contributed by the Momen has raised the combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou army to a higher level. If you want to get more benefits from the hands of the Momen, you must show the corresponding strength.

If Yuan Shu launches a large army to attack Xuzhou, it will be the best opportunity for Lu Bu to show his strength. According to the analysis of the people of the Momen, the other two branches of the Momen may choose to help Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. It is very likely that Yuan Shu has mastered a sharp weapon that Lu Bu does not possess.

At this point, precautions must be taken.

"Marquis Wen came to welcome me." Lu Zhi clasped his hands.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Before there was turmoil in the city, and the Momen's attack, I haven't had time to thank you yet."

"Wen Hou has something to say, but he said that Momen needs Wen Hou's help to help Wen Hou. Besides what happened last time, Wen Hou has already made a promise." Lu Zhi spoke, still as straightforward as before.

Lu Bu said, "If that's the case, I'll just say it straight."

"The power of the Black Clothes Pavilion should not be underestimated. It is not easy to find out the power of the Black Clothes Pavilion just by relying on the power in the hands of the Marquis. In this matter, I wonder if the Momen will help?"

Lu Zhi was silent for a moment and said: "Since it is the invitation of Marquis Wen, Mo Sect has no reason to refuse."

"Your Excellency is refreshing." Lu Bu laughed.

"However, this time Momen helped Wen Hou find the Black Clothes Pavilion, Wen Hou will be responsible for the action." Lu Zhi said.

Lu Bu's heart skipped a beat, "Could it be that Mo Sect is in some trouble?"

"Wen Hou Yingming, last time the people of the Mo Sect took action against the assassins of the Black Clothes Pavilion, which added some troubles to the Mo Sect. In a short period of time, it is difficult for the Mo Sect to recruit more masters." Lu Zhi said.

"If there is something you can do for me, feel free to say so." Lu Bu said, the people of the Mo Sect were bold, so he naturally couldn't be petty in this regard, and the last action of the Mo Sect had initially gained Lu Bu's trust.

Lu Zhi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Marquis Wen, if that's the case, Mo Sect will not be polite."

The brief conversation brought the distance between the two of them closer, and there was no more precaution in the conversation. Lu Zhi was originally a straightforward person. Lu Bu was born as a military general, and he liked to be straightforward when doing things.

"I just learned that the current situation is not very good for Marquis Wen. There are some people in the sect who have doubts about supporting Marquis Wen." Lu Zhi said in a low voice.

Lu Bu said slowly: "The Mo Sect will definitely not regret cooperating with Benhou. Yuan Shu's mere desire to take Xuzhou and Yanzhou from Benhou's hands is simply a dream."

"I'm waiting for the good news from Marquis Wen." Lu Zhi smiled, infected by the confidence in Lu Bu's words.

Just after leaving Jubao Pavilion and returning to the State Shepherd's Mansion, news came that Wang Yue asked to see him.

The assassins under Wang Yue's command were exactly the important force that Lu Bu relied on in his secret operations this time.

After talking with Wang Yue, Wang Yue left with a heavy heart.

The Black Clothes Pavilion, when they were in Luoyang, was a force that people dare not underestimate. If they were to be targeted by the people of the Black Clothes Pavilion, there would definitely be endless troubles. The people in the Black Clothes Pavilion are successful, let alone ordinary officials.

The owner behind the Black Clothes Pavilion has always been mysterious. There are many rumors about the owner of the Black Clothes Pavilion, but it is difficult to know the truth. In the Black Clothes Pavilion, there is a huge The famous ones are the four leaders of "Qinqi, Calligraphy and Painting".

The four commanders took action, and there was nothing they could not solve.

After suffering a loss in Yuan Shu's hands, how could the people in the Black Clothes Pavilion give up? It seems that the people in the Black Clothes Pavilion have disappeared. After they find a suitable opportunity, will they continue to endure like this?

The existence of the Black Clothes Pavilion will affect the safety of relatives, which Lu Bu cannot tolerate.

With Momen and Wang Yue attacking at the same time, as long as he finds the hiding place of Heiyi Pavilion, he will surely achieve a lot. Wang Yue is known as the number one swordsman in the world.

Not only that, Lu Bu transferred all 500 infantry guards to the state pastoral mansion, responsible for protecting the state pastoral mansion officials and relatives in the mansion.

When Lei Bo led the army to raid Pengcheng before, the personal guard infantry had already shown their fighting power that was not to be underestimated. They were invincible in Lei Bo's army, which led to the defeat of Lei Bo's troops.

However, during actual battles, Lu Bu seldom sent his own infantry into battle. It was not because these infantry were not elite enough, but because their marching speed was incomparable with cavalry. Relatively speaking, Lu Bu preferred to lead cavalry in battle Galloping freely on the battlefield.

After the war really starts, there will be many things that need to be busy, and it is difficult to fully take care of them. Before that, it is very necessary to deal with some things properly.

From May to June, the armies of Yangzhou and Yuzhou were dispatched non-stop, attracting the attention of the princes. They could even foresee that Yuan Shu, who had been silent for less than a year, would make a big move in the third year of Chuping. And Yuan Shu's target is very likely to be Lu Bu who is entrenched in Xuzhou.

Yanzhou was initially determined, and the princes did not think that the Yanzhou army had the power to fight, and it was already a very good thing to be able to ensure the stability of Yanzhou.

It wasn't long before the Yanzhou army was formed. Although there were many actions in Yanzhou, which made the bandit forces entrenched in Yanzhou frightened, there is still a big difference between exterminating bandits and fighting on the real battlefield.

Teams that have not experienced real battles will give people a completely different feeling from those who have come out of the battlefield. Even in the Yanzhou Army, there are many elite soldiers in the Xuzhou Army.

This battle seems inevitable.

"My lord, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao sent envoys here," Jia Xu said.

Lv Bu snorted coldly, "It's reasonable for Yuan Shao to send an envoy. At this time, Yuan Shu sent the envoy. Could it be that he wants to test whether the sword in my hand is sharp?"

"Now Yuan Shu and the lord are still in an alliance. If the lord takes action against Yuan Shu's emissary, people will discuss it secretly, and it will also give Yuan Shu a handle." Jia Xu said: "Yuan Shu bought thousands of hundred refined weapons from the lord before, but The Hundred Refined Weapons have not been handed over, as expected, the sending of envoys must be for the sake of the Hundred Refined Weapons."

Chapter 250 Xu You

Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "Yuan Shu is too naive. If he wants to do something to me, and also wants to get a hundred-refined weapon, maybe he thinks he is easy to bully."

"My lord, from the point of view of my subordinates, it is better to delay it temporarily. Both Yanzhou and Xuzhou have elite soldiers from our army, but the troops in Yangzhou and Yuzhou are frequently mobilized, so there must be big moves." Jia Xu said : "The lord only needs to keep procrastinating on this matter, and Yuan Shu's true face will definitely be exposed."

"Wen He is right. Zhang Zhao will be responsible for receiving Yuan Shu's envoy." Lu Bu said, "I personally receive Yuan Shao's envoy."

Yuan Shu planned to attack Xuzhou, although it was not really confirmed, the army hoarded Yuzhou and strengthened the defensive forces of Chenliu County and Jiyin County, which has already explained this problem well, now Yuan Shu is just waiting for the opportunity.

Winning the battle against Yuan Shu is also an opportunity for Lu Bu. Yangzhou and Yuzhou are both rich and prosperous places. Although there are many remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou, Lu Bu has certain experience in eradicating the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

More Yellow Turbans are pursuing a stable life, as long as they grasp this point, there is a great possibility to get the support of Yellow Turbans.

And among the Yellow Turbans, there are also elites, such as the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans that shocked the world. During the battle, Yanzhou Shepherd Liu Dai was killed. The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans also exploded with powerful power in the hands of Cao Cao. Used properly, it will be of great help.

Among the Yellow Turbans, there are mostly young and strong. After these forces are incorporated, the impact is not small.

In the eyes of the princes, Lu Bu may be a devil, but among the Yellow Turbans, Lu Bu still has a reputation for generosity. It is precisely because of Lu Bu's acceptance that the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans who poured into Yanzhou have a way to survive.

Of course, Lu Bu's actions were often criticized by the princes.

History has undergone tremendous changes after Lv Bu occupied Xuzhou. Tao Qian was driven away by Lv Bu, and Cao Cao was also driven away by Lv Bu. This also made Yuan Shu feel great pressure, and had continuous actions in Yangzhou and Yuzhou.

The threat will make Yuan Shu not dare to take it lightly. He is a tyrannical existence among the princes, how could he stop his expansion because of Lu Bu's threat.

Now that history has changed, Lu Bu doesn't mind making the change even bigger.

It was Xu You who sent the envoy for Yuan Shao.

He has been sent to Lv Bu quite a few times, and Xu You can be regarded as an experienced person. Joining Lv Bu is of great importance, and it will be of great help to the Jizhou army against Gongsun Zan. What Yuan Shao most wants to see at this time is Lv Bu and Yuan Shu fighting for the front.

No matter which side Yuan Shu or Lu Bu wins, the strength of the other side will inevitably be frustrated, and there will be no threat in a short time.

What Yuan Shao hopes most is that the war between the two can be stalemate, so that Yuan Shu can't advance or retreat. After losing Lu Bu, a powerful ally, Yuan Shao can calmly deal with Gongsun Zan.

The great victory in the Battle of Jieqiao made Yuan Shao full of confidence. With Ju Yi's first ascended soldiers and Gongsun Zan's elite cavalry under his command, they lost their original threat.

"I have met Marquis Wen." Xu You saluted respectfully.

The number of times he went to Xuzhou as an envoy was quite large, but Xu You didn't have many chances to actually meet Lu Bu, and the people who received him were basically Xuzhou officials.

This time, Lu Bu received him personally, which made Xu You feel valued, and he felt quite complacent.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Ziyuan doesn't need to be so polite, please sit down."

After taking his seat, Xu You said, "The reason why the state shepherd sent this humble official here is because of Yuan Shu's affairs."

Talking to Lu Bu is naturally more direct. Xu You knew about Lu Bu's habit long before.

"Ziyuan, tell me in detail," Lu Bu said.

"Marquis Wen must have known about the transfer of soldiers and horses in Yangzhou and Yuzhou. Yuan Shu sent troops to attack the heart of Xuzhou. If Marquis Wen can't handle it properly, it will bring about turmoil in Xuzhou," Xu You said.

Lv Bu laughed and said, "If you want to destabilize Xuzhou, just relying on Yuan Shu's power may not be enough."

"Marquis Wen is known for being brave and good at fighting, but Yuan Shu's strength is extraordinary. If Marquis Wen underestimates Yuan Shu, the consequences will be unpredictable." Xu You said seriously.

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows. Yuan Shao was the leader of the princes and alliances in the past, and he was also a member of the Yuan family. He had a better reputation than Yuan Shu, which attracted more talented people to join him. For this reason, Yuan Shu scolded these scholars a lot. Zizi has no foresight, maybe Yuan Shao can know something that he didn't know.

"Back when the assassins in the Black Clothes Pavilion were attacking Pengcheng, Zhou Mu ordered people to investigate secretly and learned that the Black Clothes Pavilion had a lot to do with Yuan Shu." Xu You said slowly.
