The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Chapter 725 Family Interests

With Yuan Shu's formidable strength, he ended in failure when facing Lu Bu. How could ordinary princes act rashly at such a time.

After uniting with Yuan Shu, Liu Biao did feel a lot easier. This does not mean that Liu Biao wants to be a gun in Yuan Shu's hands, but he wants to gain more benefits from the upcoming war.

Around Li Su's residence, there are soldiers from the army guarding him. This is also Liu Biao's intention to protect the safety of Xuzhou envoys as much as possible.

If no troops are sent to conquer Xuzhou, it is not time to completely turn against Lu Bu. If the army is dispatched, Liu Biao will not hesitate to take Li Su and others down.

Liu Biao will not be merciful to the enemies who come to his door.

Judging from the current situation, Yuan Shu has not made proper preparations for the battle. Although the soldiers and horses under his command are being mobilized, the battle of the army cannot be completed overnight, especially after the failure of the battle. When facing this confrontation, it is bound to be more cautious, to avoid what happened before, from happening again.

Lu Bu's rise among the princes relied on his formidable strength. Anyone who faces such princes will have a more cautious attitude. If some things are not handled properly, the ensuing danger will be There will be more.

In Liu Biao's view, it is very necessary to better deal with matters related to Lu Bu.

Xuzhou sent an envoy to bring it, which shows that the Jingzhou army still has a very important weight in front of Lu Bu. As for receiving the Xuzhou envoy, it is not a matter of the present.

Yuan Shu needed to be prepared before going to war, so why not Liu Biao.

After knowing that Xuzhou sent envoys to Jingzhou, many families in Jingzhou also reacted differently. On the surface, the literati are very enthusiastic about this matter, and there are many discussions. If they really do it, the strength of these literati is not enough. to borrow.

The literati are more verbal. They have a lot of discussions about the actions of the princes. In many cases, it is not to attract the attention of the princes of all parties.

There are not a few literati who want to become famous in this way.

In the eyes of literati, the princes who hold great power are the sweet pastry. If they can get the corresponding attention under the command of the princes, their status will definitely rise, and they can also be called the top among literati. success.

It is the son of the old literati, the discussion of the princes is getting more and more serious.

Of course, literati in Xuzhou will obviously be more cautious when discussing things, because Lu Bu, the master of Xuzhou, is not a simple prince. The benefits, and even bring death because of some remarks, such a job is not worth the candle.

Wanting to be famous is one aspect. If you pay the price of your life for being famous, it's not worth it.

Xuzhou's envoys have attracted a lot of attention in Jingzhou. The main reason is that there are many families in Jingzhou who went to Xuzhou to do business before. The goods produced by Xuzhou craftsmen have attracted a lot of attention among the princes. Obtaining a certain amount of power from the envoy of Jingzhou will definitely help their family's future development a lot.

Liu Biao and Yuan Shu must have an absolute advantage in the battle against Lu Bu after the alliance, but who can be sure that Lu Bu will be wiped out after the war is over.

In the eyes of the aristocratic families, the interests of their families are often the most important. The monarch has plans that belong to them. Why is it not the case for the aristocratic families? If Liu Biao and Yuan Shu failed to succeed, they would be able to take the lead in doing business.

When the aristocratic family considers things, it is often so comprehensive. Although there are wars among the princes, in many cases, it cannot affect the secret actions of the aristocratic family, and some things, even after the monarch knows, will not pass. Much more in-depth.

It is a normal thing to rule a family with active minds. The same thing applies to other families. As a monarch, you must be magnanimous. Not every prince is as iron-blooded as Lu Bu when dealing with things. means of.

Just like the businessmen under the vassals went to Xuzhou and Yanzhou to do business, the relationship between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu was not very good. Could it be said that after Yuan Shu issued an order not to allow the businessmen under his rule to go to Xuzhou and Yanzhou to do business, he could get a lot of money? Is it a good execution?

These are obviously impossible. In this case, it is better to be a good person and leave a better impression on the aristocratic family.

In the entanglement between war and interests, it is the ability of the princes to obtain more benefits.

Just like Lv Bu, the famous reputation among the princes was entirely obtained by his own efforts. Facing the attack from the army of the princes, did Lu Bu ever show weakness?

This is also Lu Bu's way of doing things. He will not show any weakness in front of the princes. If the princes want to attack, they can. A foothold among the princes.

Facts have proved that Lu Bu's simple and rude method is quite applicable at some times, especially for some cautious and wealthy families, the stability of the family is their greatest reliance, if the family does not even exist, even if What is the meaning of being able to obtain a higher status?

Therefore, when Lu Bu ruled Yanzhou and Xuzhou, he received the support of many families. The support of these family forces brought rapid development to Xuzhou and Yanzhou.

Just talking about the speed of the development of the rule, other princes also have a lot of amazement for Lu Bu, just through the way of doing business, can make the rule so rich, the achievements, and even make many people The princes are jealous.

It can be seen that Lu Bu's methods are not as simple as some princes imagined. If Lu Bu has more contempt for Lu Bu just because of his status as a general, this is the most stupid thing.

There are no simple people who can gain a foothold among the princes.

Lu Bu has extraordinary handling methods when dealing with challenges one after another. With these methods, Lu Bu has become famous among the princes, and even when facing challenges, he has no fear at all.

Chapter 726 See how rampant Lu Bu is still

If the same thing was put on other princes, I am afraid they would have been afraid.

Yuan Shu and Liu Biao were powerful existences among the vassals, and it would not be an easy matter to obtain benefits from them.

What's more, after Liu Biao and Yuan Shu joined forces, the number of soldiers and horses that could be mobilized reached an astonishing level.

It is normal for the princes to have confrontations, and matters of interest will cause the princes to fight.

But when two powerful princes unite, the impact is still great.

The princes of any party will feel troublesome when they face the alliance of the two parties alone. What's more, with the help of princes such as Sun Ce, Liu Bei, and Kong Rong, it can be said that the situation is extremely bad for Lu Bu.

The number of businessmen who went to Xuzhou and Yanzhou to do business has dropped sharply.

Many powerful businessmen are backed by the strength of their families. Why are they watching in secret? If Lu Bu can come out of this crisis, then Xuzhou and Yanzhou will be more stable. There are even more businessmen who are willing to settle down in Xuzhou after arriving in Xuzhou.

If not, the prosperity of Xuzhou is likely to be just a flash in the pan after the arrival of troubled times.

It is reasonable for Jingzhou's family to secretly want to contact Li Su. They want to seek more benefits for their family through Li Su.

This kind of thing is naturally very good for Li Su. After coming to Jingzhou, it is not a simple matter to open up the situation, but it is different with the power of the family. The power controlled by these families, even if the princes want to do it It is not easy to understand thoroughly. When these families want to do something secretly, it is very possible to hide it from the monarch.

On the surface, there is Li Su, but in the dark, there are people from the Chamber of Commerce to cooperate.

At the same time, there were many incidents in Shouchun City that made officials under Yuan Shu's rule terrified. In Shouchun City, assassinations happened one after another. The assassinated officials still had a high status in the city.

When such a thing suddenly occurs, the officials in the city may secretly raise their vigilance to avoid such things from happening to them. Some officials usually offend some people, which is a normal thing in itself, attracting enemies, and even death causing too much vibration.

As for the government's involvement in the investigation, it is not easy to make breakthroughs in these matters.

But it is different if officials are assassinated and killed one after another. This shows that someone is secretly trying to harm Yuan Shu.

As a powerful existence among the princes, Yuan Shu has considerable prestige among the princes.

Who the hell dares to be so unscrupulous in Shouchun City?

"Incompetent, incompetent, three officials in the city were assassinated and killed one after another. If the murderer cannot be found out, will all the officials in Shouchun deal with affairs in their own mansion in the future?" Yuan Shu's face was livid, and the desk table made a loud noise.

"My lord, calm down. From the point of view of my subordinates, this matter may have been done secretly by someone ordered by Lu Bu," Yan Xiang said.

Yuan Shu snorted coldly and said, "A mere Lu Bu dares to act so presumptuously on this general's territory. In the future, after this general leads the elite troops to attack Xuzhou, let's see how rampant Lu Bu is."

Between words, Yuan Shu was full of killing intent.

The operation of the assassins under his command to go to Pengcheng did not succeed. On the contrary, they suffered heavy losses in Pengcheng. After the assassins under Lu Bu's command were dispatched, they were able to cause such a big turmoil under his own rule. What he showed to Yuan Shu was the incompetence of his own assassins. .

In the past, Yuan Shu had high hopes for the Heiyi Pavilion, and even gave him a lot of help, but the development of the matter was not what Yuan Shu wanted to see. The action cannot obtain Chen Gong.

Even Qin Lin, the owner of the Black Clothes Pavilion, died during the operation, which was a big blow to the people of the Black Clothes Pavilion.

Even after this incident happened in the Jianghu, it became the laughing stock of the people in the Jianghu. When they laughed at the Black Clothes Pavilion, they were also mocking Yuan Shu.

As a vassal of one side, Yuan Shu was so powerful that he played such a trick in secret. Such a thing itself was something the vassals would not be ashamed of.

If Yuan Shu succeeds in dealing with Lu Bu, the princes may have a different face. The key is that Yuan Shu's actions ended in failure, and they will have more words.

Of course, Lu Bu's power in the dark also aroused the fear of many princes. When Lu Bu has such a strong power as a support, it will inevitably form a certain deterrent to other princes.

In troubled times, as long as it is a useful means, the princes will not abandon it.

However, the failure of the Black Clothes Pavilion brought a huge blow to the people of the Black Clothes Pavilion. Otherwise, even if Lu Bu took action at this time, Yuan Shu would have no more fear to speak of.

As a well-known existence among the vassals, since when has Yuan Shu been afraid of such dark methods, but the current situation is a bit delicate.

When Yuan Shu denounced Lu Bu publicly, it would inevitably bring about Lu Bu's crazy revenge. Yuan Shu could use other methods in secret, and Lu Bu could do the same.

And judging from the current situation, it is clear that Lu Bu has the upper hand in the secret means.

The situation between the two sides is already in dire straits. As for the alliance between the two sides, it is as fragile as paper and may be pierced at any time.

At any rate, Lu Bu is also a well-known existence among the princes. He is famous among the princes for his toughness. When Lu Bu becomes crazy, the dark forces will definitely take corresponding actions. What happened in Shouchun City is a good illustration.

However, Yuan Shu will not have more regrets about this matter. This is the best chance to eradicate Lu Bu in one fell swoop. If Lu Bu is given more time, many unstable factors will arise. Who can be sure? Lu Bu will not make greater progress in Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

Judging from the receipts shown by Lu Bu, it is absolutely impossible to look at it with the eyes of ordinary princes. Lu Bu's identity as a military general confuses Yuan Shu very well at the beginning.

Now it seems that Lu Bu is an outlier among military generals, that is, the kind of prince who can achieve rapid development after having a city. If such characters cannot be recruited better, they must be eradicated to avoid bringing more people in the future. threaten.

In fact, if Lu Bu could be a little weaker when he was doing things, maybe he wouldn't arouse Yuan Shu's fear.

Chapter 727 Yang Hong's Suggestion

However, Lu Bu's toughness is already well-known among the lords. Yuan Shu's move to send troops to attack Xuzhou had completely angered Lu Bu. It is predictable what kind of actions such an enraged general will take in the future. of.

"My lord, Lu Bu's madness just shows that the alliance between my lord and Liu Biao has hit Lu Bu's vital point. As long as the two sides are well prepared, they will send troops to attack Xuzhou, and they will surely succeed." Yang Hong said.

Yuan Shu nodded approvingly, "Lu Bu has come to the end of the road, and he will inevitably act crazy, but if Lu Bu thinks that only by relying on such means, he can make this lord submit, it is the real Arabian Nights. What kind of big wind and big waves have you never seen before? Only the little Lu Bu can measure it."

"From the subordinate's point of view, it is better to launch a counterattack secretly." Yang Hong said.

Yang Hong's words were very subtle. Although the matter of the Black Clothes Pavilion caused a lot of turmoil in the city, it is best not to put things like the Black Clothes Pavilion on the bright side. Yuan Shu is a prince who pays attention to face. Originally, after the failure of Pengcheng's operation, it had already caused a lot of discussion.

The most important reason is that there is such an existence as the Xuzhou News in Lu Bu's hands. When the Xuzhou News hypes up this aspect of things, the impact is very great.

Lu Bu, who is in charge of the Xuzhou Newspaper, is also the envy of the princes. Which princes don't want to have an advantage in public opinion.

However, even if the princes want to imitate Lu Bu, it is not a simple matter. If the paper issue cannot be resolved well, if they want to imitate the Xuzhou Newspaper, the price they will pay must be huge.

Lu Bu's methods in this regard also made the princes very jealous. Normally, the princes would definitely have certain actions in secret. If such a move was reported by the Xuzhou newspaper, it would be a bit bad.

As time goes by, the Xuzhou Newspaper has considerable influence in Dahan. The general princes have a cautious attitude when facing the Xuzhou Newspaper. all over the world.

Lv Bu has made many enemies among the princes, but these enemies have a lot of fear of Lv Bu because of the Xuzhou newspaper.

After eradicating Lu Bu, the Xuzhou Newspaper will be able to be used by Yuan Shu. At that time, Yuan Shu's influence among the princes will be significantly improved, and he will even gain the loyalty of more scholars and the support of his family. Seeing the huge benefits involved, Yuan Shu strengthened his determination to deal with Lu Bu, otherwise, who would have nothing to do to provoke such a terrible existence like Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's famous reputation among the princes was based on his victories in battles. The combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou Army was also obvious to all the princes.

When the Xuzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army are equipped with more sophisticated weapons, they will have a greater advantage in the confrontation.

The Black Clothes Pavilion is a mysterious existence. Among the officials under Yuan Shu's rule, not many know of its existence. When it is time, it is also necessary to be cautious about three points.

It's not that all the officials are supportive of Yuan Shu's secret methods, especially some officials who can't rub their eyes, hate such secret methods.

When they knew that Yuan Shu had other methods in secret, it would inevitably have an impact on Yuan Shu's image.

What's more, the secret means not only have the Black Clothes Pavilion, but also have such powerful existences as the Momen.

The Moh Sect is mysterious. Even if he had the power of the Moh Sect to join Yuan Shu, Yang Hong would have many difficulties if he wanted to know more about the Moh Sect. Yang Hong had tried these things before.

If you want to open a gap in Momen's body, or let the people of Momen try their best to help Yuan Shu, it will not be a matter of one day, but what Momen has produced is enough to satisfy Yuan Shu. Seeing that Yuan Shu's strength has improved, he will definitely take further actions.

Yuan Shu thought for a while, and understood the meaning of Yang Hong's words, "Long Shi is responsible for this matter, what we need to see is a stable Shouchun, and we can't make people panic just because some young people are making trouble in secret. "

"Here." Yang Hong clasped his hands.

Yang Hong, who is in charge of intelligence, has a detached position under Yuan Shu's command, just like Jia Xu's role in Lu Bu, so ordinary officials should be cautious when meeting Yang Hong.

Yang Hong enjoyed this feeling very much. After having an important position under Yuan Shu's command, as long as Yuan Shu can achieve greater achievements when the princes are fighting for the top, as an official who is responsible for more things, the benefits he gets will also be great. It is unimaginable for other officials.

In fact, why didn't Yang Hong want to do more when he attacked Xuzhou? He was the military adviser of the army in the past, and he failed in the attack on Xuzhou. For Yuan Shu, it was very advantageous. To take down Lu Bu while the iron was hot, he could get out even with a bad breath in his heart.

So what if Lv Bu has a great reputation among the princes, it would be the biggest blow to Lv Bu if he failed in what he was best at leading the army.

For everything in Xuzhou, the family under Yuan Shu's rule is also coveted. Getting everything from Xuzhou's craftsman workshop means that the family under Yuan Shu's rule can get more development in the era of the rise of princes.

Xuzhou's current situation in the hands of Lu Bu has a lot to do with the Xuzhou craftsman workshop. Otherwise, businessmen from other states and counties would rush to Pengcheng.

The battle between the princes is omnipotent, and it is the most stupid move to abandon some useful means because of kindness.

After Pengcheng had a better development, the threat to Yuan Shu was too great.

Now that the two sides have torn faces, there are no more scruples.

In fact, it can be seen from the initial incident that Yuan Shu was mainly proud when facing Lu Bu, thinking that Lu Bu was just a general and could be easily dealt with. When dealing with Lu Bu, he didn't pay enough attention.

If Lu Bu had taken action just after taking over Xuzhou, given Lu Bu's notoriety among the princes at that time, it would not be too easy to break through Xuzhou.
