The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

The next day, there were suddenly many scouts from the Jingzhou army on the battlefield. These scouts were all cavalry. They were active on the battlefield and even attacked the scouts of the Huns.

This kind of situation made the Xiongnu scouts very angry, but there were too many Jingzhou army scouts on the battlefield, and it was difficult to take advantage of the Jingzhou army scouts when they confronted each other.

When Yu Fuluo learned of the situation on the battlefield, he was very angry. After winning the battle against the Jingzhou Army, Yu Fuluo didn't pay attention to the Jingzhou Army. Xuzhou cavalry, Yu Fuluo also has enough confidence to win, let alone the mere Jingzhou army.

It's just a group of defeated generals who dared to act presumptuously in front of the mighty Hun cavalry, how could Yu Fuluo bear it.

Yu Fuluo gave an order, and more Hun cavalry rushed to the battlefield. Their purpose has changed from inquiring about the situation on the battlefield to looking for more scouts of the Jingzhou army, and they want to get back from the scouts of the Jingzhou army.

To Fuluo's surprise, there were quite a few scouts from the Jingzhou Army on the battlefield. According to his estimate, there were at least 300 or more scouts. This number of scouts was clearly intended to cause damage to the Hun cavalry.

How could such things be endured by Yu Fuluo, and he sent more cavalry into the battlefield again.

As if the two sides would not give up on this matter, in just a few days, the number of active cavalry scouts near Yangdi alone exceeded a thousand, and there was an increasing trend.

After Ji Ling heard the news, he tried to persuade Yu Fuluo, but now Yu Fuluo didn't pay attention to the Jingzhou Army. In his opinion, the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou cavalry was no more than that. As long as the Xiongnu cavalry dispatched , It will definitely make the Jingzhou cavalry dare not make the slightest rash move on the battlefield.

With such confidence, Yu Fuluo personally led the cavalry and appeared on the battlefield, with the purpose of destroying more cavalry from the Jingzhou army.

Although Ji Ling felt something was wrong, he didn't try to persuade him. He could feel that Yu Fuluo was becoming more and more rampant, and he even dared to bargain in front of Yuan Shu. If the situation continues like this, the Huns will be fine However, it is still necessary to let the Huns suffer some losses on the battlefield.

Yu Fuluo is just a Hun, and his subordinates are also Hun cavalry. They are not of my race, so their hearts must be different. Although Yu Fuluo and Yuan Shu are in a cooperative relationship, Yuan Shu also has a lot of reliance on Fuluo at present, but Yu Fuluo His arrogant performance still made the generals in the army feel a lot of dissatisfaction.

Ji Ling was the number one general under Yuan Shu's tent, and he made a lot of contributions to Yuan Shu. When fighting against the Xuzhou Army, Ji Ling tasted the taste of failure, but it didn't mean that Ji Ling didn't have enough experience in leading the army.

Sure enough, the Huns cavalry encountered an ambush on the battlefield.

Yu Fuluo led the cavalry to pursue the Jingzhou scouts. These Jingzhou scouts numbered hundreds of people. Yu Fuluo's mind was very simple. As long as the Jingzhou cavalry felt the pain, he would not dare to send more cavalry. Be the controller of the battlefield.

The news that the scouts inquired about was of great significance to a large army. If the scouts of an army failed to function, they would inevitably fall into a dangerous situation.

However, the situation on the battlefield exceeded Yu Fuluo's expectations. When Yu Fuluo led the cavalry to pursue a very uneven ground, all the ambush soldiers came out on the left and right sides.

The Xiongnu cavalry was in great chaos. Facing the attack of the Jingzhou army, Yu Fuluo could only grit his teeth and choose to retreat.

In this battle alone, the loss of the Huns' cavalry reached 500 people.

The victory this time dampened the arrogance of the Huns cavalry. After the news of the victory came back, the fighting spirit in the Jingzhou army was high, and the depression caused by the failure of the vanguard army had eased a lot.

Cao Cao also appeared in the field of vision of the generals of the Jingzhou Army. Originally, the excellence of the Jingzhou Army did not pay much attention to Cao Cao. In their view, Cao Cao was just a bereaved dog. After losing Yanzhou, they could only go to Jingzhou. Look, the situation is very different from what they imagined.

Cao Cao is still outstanding in leading troops in battle. The Xiongnu cavalry has made the Jingzhou army pay a big price. The failure of the vanguard army is also directly related to the Xiongnu cavalry. Now that the Xiongnu cavalry is defeated, Cao Cao The prestige in the army has been improved to a certain extent.

Now in the camp of the Jingzhou Army, the battle between Cao Cao and the Hun cavalry is more discussed.

Although this kind of situation made the generals in the Jingzhou army dissatisfied with Oh, it is an out-and-out fact that Cao Cao led the cavalry to victory. If the same battle was put on them, would they be able to achieve such an achievement?

Lieutenant generals respect people with strength. Cao Cao won the respect of lieutenant soldiers by fighting the Huns. Even Cai Mao was more polite when he treated Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao's victory, the momentum of the Jingzhou army was high. Cai Mao directly led the troops to Yangdi and stationed five miles away from Yangdi.

The change in the situation in Yangzhai made Ji Ling worry in his heart, and secretly scolded the Huns for their incompetence. However, under the current situation, the most important thing is to repel the Jingzhou army. The Huns' cavalry is temporarily unreliable. At that time, the power of pawns was the most reliable.

After occupying Chenliu County and Jiyin County, Lu Bu immediately ordered Yanzhou to send officials to manage the two counties. After occupying a city, there are many things that need to be taken care of. It is even more difficult to take over all of them.

As for the power of appointing officials, Lu Bu handed it over to Chen Gong. Chen Gong was in charge of Yanzhou's affairs before, and he knew the situation in Yanzhou very well. Lu Bu was very relieved to have officials appointed by Chen Gong.

The Yanzhou army was jubilant, they had no idea that this battle would yield such a result, not only took Jiyin County from Yuan Shu's hands, but even Chenliu County became under the rule of Yanzhou.

Victory is the greatest encouragement to soldiers in the army.

The Yanzhou Army has not been formed for a long time, but on the battlefield in Xuzhou, the combat effectiveness of the [-] Yanzhou Army soldiers should not be underestimated.

Chen Gong is in charge of the officials, and when appointing the generals stationed in the city, it needs to be planned by Lu Bu.

At present, Yanzhou has completed the unification. Although there are thieves in the territory, it is difficult for these thieves to have much influence on Yanzhou. Perhaps because of Lu Bu's reputation, there are not many thieves in Yanzhou today.

Chapter 373 Is there something wrong

Whenever the Yanzhou army found bandits entrenched, they would immediately dispatch. Zhang Liao seemed to regard extermination of bandits as a training for the soldiers in the army. This situation was also what the common people were most happy to see.

What the common people need is a stable life. Whoever becomes the monarch has not changed much for them. They still need to pay taxes and work hard, but a stable life is very important to the common people.

If there is a war, the most unlucky ones are the ordinary people. After the city changes the monarch, they need to act according to the orders of the new monarch. Even if the new monarch increases taxes, they can only follow suit. Do the common people still dare to fight against the government? .

However, after Lu Bu occupied Yanzhou, he did not increase the taxes of the people. This alone was enough to make the people feel more favorable towards the government. How many people worked in the fields for a year to barely get enough food and clothing. Sometimes, it was not Young and strong are willing to take the initiative to enter the army, but they really can't survive at home. If they enter the army, they can reduce their rations even more.

Of course, the happiest people are the people in Chenliu County and Jiyin County. Their taxes are the same as those of other counties in Yanzhou, and lower than those under Yuan Shu's rule.

In fact, the number of fields in the hands of the common people has a certain gap compared with that of the aristocratic families. It occupies the largest number of common people, but only owns a small amount of land. Isn't this a kind of sadness? Sometimes, it is not because Lu Bu is unwilling to go To change this situation, his strength is not enough, not enough to really affect the aristocratic family.

Now, Chenliu County, Liang State, and Pei State have become areas where wars may occur. Among them, Chenliu County is close to Yingchuan. Once the Jingzhou Army successfully breaks through Yingchuan County, the city under Lu Bu will border Liu Biao and Yuan Shu. In fact, it is not very good for Lu Bu.

When Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou, although there was no more movement from the Jingzhou Army, the strength of the Jingzhou Army was huge and should not be underestimated.

Once Liu Biao and Yuan Shu unite, what kind of threat will it pose to Lu Bu? In the face of real interests, even the princes who are fighting are likely to contact each other.

The Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Yanzhou allowed the princes to see the horror of Lu Bu. If any army wants to confront the Xuzhou army, it must have careful thinking, and such deterrence will bring fear to the princes. When Liu Biao and Yuan Shu felt that Lu Bu was a big threat, what kind of measures would they take?

"Send the order to the ban. After receiving the order, lead the soldiers of the headquarters to Chenliu County, Yanzhou." Lu Bu said.

Guo Jia whispered: "Master, Yu Jin was a general under Bao Xin's command in the past. Now Bao Xin is in Cao Cao's army. Is there something wrong?"

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious about employing people. Since Yu Jin has joined Ben Hou, it means that he wants to make contributions under Ben Hou's command. Ben Hou will naturally give him a chance. Yu Jin is a smart person. At this time If you betray Benhou, it won't do him any good."

"My lord's generosity is beyond compare to ordinary people." Guo Jia cupped his hands.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "When will Fengxiao use such flattering words?"

Having said that, Guo Jia can still feel that Lu Bu is in a good mood. Any monarch must want to hear good things. The key is to speak in the right way and at the right time.

Yu Jin has achieved a lot under Lu Bu's command. Just his performance on the Xuzhou battlefield is enough to make Yu Jin move to a higher position. Lu Bu has more appointments for Jin, which is also within Guo Jia's expectation. Guilt, but sometimes, counselors must remind the monarch of certain things.

"The order is for Chen Gong to come, and the Marquis wants to hear about the recent situation in Yanzhou." Lu Bu said solemnly.

Guo Jia's heart skipped a beat, he knew that Lu Bu was going to attack the officials in Yanzhou who were about to betray him.

Lu Bu's victory was beyond the expectations of Yanzhou officials. Some officials who did not show their loyalty to Lu Bu were not loyal to Lu Bu, but they were watching in secret and did not dare to make judgments easily. The choice at the critical moment will bring a family to glory. It may also cause a family to decline.

Waiting for changes in the situation is also the most common choice for many families.

Many officials in Yanzhou were worried. Although their dealings with officials under Yuan Shu were very secretive, who could be sure that Lu Bu would not know about it at this time?

Officials with such a choice originally wanted to act in secret. Their actions were not aimed at Lu Bu, but to leave Lu Bu's rule. However, the situation in Yanzhou changed too fast, and they didn't even have time to prepare to leave. Lu Bu After coming to Yanzhou, he led the Yanzhou army to capture Chenliu and Jiyin counties with a fierce attitude.

Such a strong style made the officials of Yanzhou have to think more. Among the princes in the south, Lu Bu is the most powerful. Even if they turn to Yuan Shu now, what kind of results will they have.

You must know that Yuan Shu is now facing the attack from the Jingzhou army, and he doesn't even know if Yuzhou can be saved. These families don't want to follow Yuan Shu to fight for their lives.

The mission of the members of the family is to make the family grow stronger in their hands as much as possible. Now the court is unclear. From the perspective of the aristocratic family, only the improvement of their own strength is the most fundamental. Of course, the auxiliary monarch also has a lot of benefits. The most important thing is that only by being appreciated by the monarch can one go to a higher position.

Yanzhou Mu is Chen Gong, but it is Lu Bu who actually controls Yanzhou. Living under Lu Bu's rule is not a good thing for some aristocratic families. There is a lot of ignorance about the way the aristocratic family behaves. Some things that are normal in the eyes of the aristocratic family may become betrayal in Lu Bu's eyes.

However, Yanzhou has already fallen under Lu Bu's control. Even if these families want to act now, they have no chance. Should they relocate their families to Yuan Shu's rule in an open and honest manner?

The relationship between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu has completely deteriorated after the Xuzhou battle, and even the chances of the two sides easing up are very slim. Even if there is a temporary reconciliation, it is only because of their respective interests.

Just like this time when Yuan Shu and Lu Bu shook hands and made peace, how long has passed, and Lu Bu has already led the army to capture Chenliu County and Jiyin County. It is impossible for Yuan Shu not to be angry, but Yuan Shu is here Under normal circumstances, there is no other way.

Chapter 374

After the news of Lu Bu's return to Changyi spread in the city, people panicked. They were worried that Lu Bu would settle accounts at such a time, and how many people really had no contact with the officials under Yuan Shu's rule. This was a moment that related to the life and death of the family. .

Now that Yanzhou is unified, the officials who were on Lu Bu's side before are naturally rejoicing, and they will be rewarded for their support, which can be seen just from the appointment of officials from Chenliu County and Jiyin County by the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Chen Gong is not an ordinary person. The officials in Yanzhou have a deep understanding of this. Perhaps in the hands of Chen Gong, they have already obtained evidence of their dealings with officials under Yuan Shu's rule. However, Lu Bu was in an emergency at that time, and he did not reveal it. Just come out.

In the State Shepherd's Mansion, after receiving Lu Bu's order, the officials did not dare to slack off in the slightest and rushed over one after another.

Lu Buduan sat at the top, while Yanzhou Muchen Palace stood aside. Outside the gate of the state shepherd's mansion, there were even soldiers waiting in full force.

Seeing such a posture, many officials were terrified, and they didn't even dare to meet Lu Bu's eyes.

Lu Bu coughed lightly and said, "This Marquis is fighting Yuan Shu in Xuzhou. The stable situation in Yanzhou is inseparable from your efforts."

The officials on the field did not dare to say anything.

Turning the subject, Lu Bu snorted coldly, "But I know that when my lord was in crisis, there were quite a few people who were in contact with the officials under Yuan Shu."

The faces of many officials changed suddenly. It was not because they were lacking in character, but because Lu Bu was too threatening. At such a time, perhaps only one order from Lu Bu could make the families behind them pay a heavy price.

Some officials had sweat on their foreheads.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Liao showed a sneer. These civil servants usually act arrogantly in front of the generals in the army, but now in front of Lu Bu, they don't have so many words, and they are more respectful. A concrete manifestation of Lu Bu's influence in Yanzhou.

A strong monarch will put a huge pressure on the officials under his rule. In the face of such pressure, they dare not even make disobedient actions.

Receiving Lu Bu's signal, Chen Gong ordered two soldiers to carry a red box up.

The box was opened, and inside were letters between Yanzhou officials and officials under Yuan Shu's rule.

The box is not small, but it is full of letters inside.

After seeing this scene, many officials almost collapsed on the ground.

With so many letters, it goes without saying that many officials present will be involved in this matter.

Lu Bu said lightly: "Among you, many of you may already be afraid in your heart."

An official fell limply to the ground, he really couldn't bear the pressure.

Seeing the different behaviors of the officials in the arena, Lu Bu felt a little uncomfortable. These are all Yanzhou officials. If they are all beheaded with one order, it will bring turmoil in Yanzhou. It is not enough for the general to govern the place.

If it is a march to fight, the generals in the army will not have the slightest problem. Letting them govern the place will make the place even more chaotic.

Punishment of these people would bring disaster to Yanzhou, and it would be difficult for Lu Bu to find so many officials to take their place in a short period of time.

The relationship between the rich and powerful families is intricate, and it affects the whole body. Maybe after punishing these families, more families will be offended, and more officials under the rule will have other thoughts.

There was anger and desolation in Lu Bu's heart, but he could not give such an order.

The most important thing is to stabilize Yanzhou and Xuzhou as much as possible.

Yuan Shu did fail on the battlefield in Xuzhou, but Yuan Shu's prestige among the princes determined that it would be absolutely difficult to completely wipe out Yuan Shu in a short period of time, and Yuan Shu's methods were not the ones on the surface. as simple as that.

Only after making the rule more stable, can we have the capital to compete with Liu Biao and Yuan Shu.

If the families of these officials are eradicated, the princes of the world will laugh secretly, and even cheer. This means that Lu Bu will fall into an endless situation with the aristocratic and powerful families in the future. What does this mean for a monarch?

Before making a choice, Lu Bu must be more cautious.

But the aristocratic family in the arena didn't think about things at this level. After grabbing the handle for Lu Bu, they were worried about what happened behind them.

After all, there is a family behind them, which makes them have to think more when doing things. In fact, in many cases, when they make some choices, they still need family members to make decisions. Not every official is the head of the family.

The arena was deadly quiet, and needles could be heard. In such an atmosphere, sweat broke out on the foreheads of many officials. They usually pay attention to character, but it is difficult to calm down at this time.

After a long silence, Lu Bu seemed to have made a decision and coughed lightly.

Just this cough made many officials tremble. They had a premonition that it was time to decide the fate of the family behind them. With Lu Bu's method, if he made a move, it would definitely be the power of thunder, and he would not give it to him. The opportunity for the family behind them to turn around.

Because Lu Bu was not from a wealthy family, he didn't have so many scruples in his actions. Maybe some officials didn't do too much, so that the families behind them would not be too unlucky, but there would also be a loss in strength. Is it even more distressing for them to damage the family's strength?

Now that their fate is in the hands of Lv Bu, how could they stand up against Lv Bu? Among the current princes, with Lv Bu's power, who dares to stand up to confront Lv Bu, I am afraid that it is impossible to stand up and accuse Lv Bu.

The wings are full, and Lu Bu's position among the princes has been confirmed. No one dares to underestimate this general.

From the beginning when he entered Xuzhou, the world's princes condemned him, and now he stands among the princes. What they have to admit is that Lu Bu has grown up to the point where many princes look up to him, and Lu Bu's achievements are also terrifying. , as a military commander, standing among the princes, this alone is enough to make more families admire.

This is really relying on one's own strength, and having a place in times of chaos.

"When Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou, people under the Marquis were panicked. Not to mention Yanzhou, even many officials in Xuzhou were like this. They must have other actions in secret. They don't want the family to be defeated. These marquises can understand. Yes, if this kind of situation is put on anyone, I am afraid they will have more thinking." Lu Bu said slowly.

Chapter 375 Thirty Thousand Yanzhou Army

Many officials in the arena looked at Lu Bu with a little surprise. They didn't expect that Lu Bu would speak from their perspective at this time, and from Lu Bu's words, they felt sincerity.
