It can be seen from the news from the detailed work that Lu Bu attaches great importance to the Xuzhou craftsman's workshop. Even the people Yuan Shu secretly sent could not succeed. Liu Biao did not have the power of the Black Clothes Pavilion in the dark.

It is extremely difficult to find out the secrets of the Xuzhou craftsman workshop.

After angering Lu Bu, Lu Bu may only need to use a little tricks to make a difference when attacking the city under Liu Biao's rule.

After the sharp weapon broke through the city gate, the cavalry swarmed in, and the effect it could play must be great.

"My lord, why don't you meet the Xuzhou envoy and express your attitude, I guess the Xuzhou envoy will not have the face to continue to stay in Xiangyang." Kuai Liang said.

Liu Biao nodded slightly, agreeing with Kuai Liang's statement. At present, no matter what, Lv Bu is a vassal of one side, and it is appropriate to give corresponding respect to the envoys sent by Lv Bu.

Besides, the two sides did not go to war, and it is possible to send envoys to each other to ease the relationship.

"I'm afraid that the envoy from Xuzhou came here this time with preparations." Kuai Yue said with burning eyes.

In the hands of Lu Bu, there are many things that are tempting to the princes. When these things are brought out by the Xuzhou envoy, how many princes can resist them.

Liu Biao claimed that Lu Bu was a traitor on the bright side, and he attacked Yanzhou because he wanted to get benefits from Lu Bu.

If Lu Bu wants to resolve this crisis, the most important way is through Liu Biao.

There was no grievance between Lu Bu and Liu Biao before, and it was relatively easy to start. If they sent envoys to Yuan Shu's rule, the situation would be very different.

The grievances between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu are very deep, and this alliance was facilitated by Yuan Shu.

After defeating Lu Bu, Yuan Shu got the most benefits. There was a grudge between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu. If Lu Bu fought, he would definitely choose Yuan Shu, not Liu Biao.

In the previous battle, Yuan Shu was defeated by Lu Bu. In the future, the soldiers under Yuan Shu's command will definitely be at a disadvantage psychologically when they confront the Xuzhou army.

Under such circumstances, there is a lot to be done for Lu Bu to lead the army.

Besides, Lu Bu has enough means in his hands, especially in terms of attacking cities. It doesn't seem too difficult to break through Yuan Shu's remaining cities in Yuzhou.

Solving Lv Bu's confidant's troubles, Yuan Shu will be able to develop and rule more calmly, and even increase Yuan Shu's influence among the princes. Such a good thing, in front of any prince, is probably hard to refuse.

Chapter 738 Receive Xuzhou Envoy

Lu Bu didn't have the slightest fear when facing Yuan Shu, but if Yuan Shu attacked Lu Bu's rule, he would inevitably have more worries.

After defeating Lu Bu, the ensuing benefits will make Yuan Shu's reputation among the princes even louder.

As for Yuan Shu's public support for Lu Bu before, there are other excuses to say at this time.

In the confrontation between princes, as long as you find the flaws in the reputation of other princes, you can start.

The Jingzhou army is the biggest unstable factor in this operation. After the success of the joint Jingzhou army, Yuan Shu will be more relaxed when attacking Lu Bu. Breaking through and causing Lu Bu's complete demise is simply impossible.

What Yuan Shu has to do this time is to prevent Lu Bu from having a chance to stand up, to eradicate Lu Bu in one fell swoop, and to make Lu Bu a part of history.

Offending a general like Lu Bu would actually be accompanied by great risks. Once Lu Bu was not completely eradicated, Lu Bu's crazy revenge would definitely follow. At that time, Yuan Shu would have to bear more risks.

Of course, Yuan Shu was clear about the matter here. First, he united with Liu Biao to denounce Lu Bu, and then the two armies launched a joint attack.

Not only Yuan Shu, but Liu Biao also had enough confidence in this attack on Lv Bu. Even during the negotiation, they had already divided their interests. After the attack, Yanzhou would belong to Liu Biao, while Xuzhou would belong to Yuan Shu. The secret of the craftsman workshop is shared by both parties.

Such a thing, if Lu Bu is defeated, everyone will be happy. The key is that Lu Bu still exists, and in Lu Bu's hands, there are also elite soldiers and horses. If he rashly attacks Lu Bu, no one knows what will happen. .

As a vassal entrenched in one side, Lu Bu's military prowess was unmatched by ordinary vassals.

However, the choice this time cannot be easily given up. Public denunciation is the opposite of Lu Bu. If he does not make a move this time due to some interests, Lu Bu will set his sights on the land of Jingzhou after defeating Yuan Shu in the future. .

The richness of Jingzhou is what the princes covet, but Liu Biao has elite soldiers and horses as support, even if some princes have ideas, they can only put them away temporarily.

Yuan Shu also had the idea of ​​occupying Jingzhou, but Liu Biao's strength was strong, and he was cautious enough when facing the war, so he didn't give Yuan Shu any more chances.

Faced with such a situation, even if Yuan Shu has many methods, it is not easy to use them.

Yuan Shu's strength is naturally far superior to Liu Biao's, but if the two sides really fought, it would not be a simple matter to successfully break through the city of Jingzhou.

Breaking through a city, especially a strong city, requires a lot of consumption.

"If that's the case, tell Li Su that he will come to the state pastoral mansion tomorrow and let Li Su see the demeanor of Jingzhou's civil servants and generals." Liu Biao said slowly.

All three claimed to be.

The next day, in Jingzhou State Shepherd's Mansion, important civil servants and military generals in the city gathered together, and Liu Biao publicly received Xuzhou envoys, which was a big event.

Outside the hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion, there was constant boiling oil and water. Needless to say, if the two parties disagreed, the Xuzhou envoy might have to pay the price with his life during this mission.

This is also unavoidable. The relationship between Liu Biao and Lu Bu has been clarified. Public denunciation is not a joke. Concession is not an easy matter.

Liu Biao, as a vassal, also has his arrogance. Besides, the denunciation of Lu Bu has gained a lot of good reputation for Liu Biao. Liu Biao will not refuse such a thing, and even wish the more the better. .

When Liu Biao can get the support of more families, his position in Jingzhou will be more stable. When some families face his orders, how dare they have more disobedience.

Li Su and Li Jue walked towards the State Shepherd's Mansion. Seeing the boiling oil and water outside the hall, a sneer appeared on the corner of Li Su's mouth. If Liu Biao really planned to attack him, he might have already done so after he arrived in Jingzhou .

Why wait until now.

Nowadays, many officials in Jingzhou have a repulsive attitude towards the attack on Yanzhou. The contents of these officials' statements will definitely make Liu Biao more cautious. It is nothing if one or two officials submit a statement, but when more After a large number of officials came forward, Liu Biao needed to come forward to solve the problem.

Liu Biao is a good shepherd in Jingzhou, but if there is no better way to deal with officials, it may be caused by some families secretly stumbling.

The power of the family cannot be underestimated at any time. Some of their secret actions may have more influence on the development under the monarchy.

That's why ordinary princes will have a cautious attitude when facing resistance from their families. Unless it is necessary, they will not turn against their families, especially when facing more officials' opposition. , more caution is required.

It is certainly good for some things to be successful in the face of opposition from officials, but if they fail, the fault will be blamed on the monarch. control.

From the fact that many talents in Jingzhou are unwilling to be used by Liu Biao, it can be seen that Liu Biao's status in Jingzhou is actually a bit embarrassing. Although there are many talents under his rule, these talents are just at home. Go to the government.

Even some talents did not show the slightest expression in the face of Liu Biao's enlistment.

Mainly because of Liu Biao, they didn't feel the boldness that a prince should have. When dealing with the affairs of the aristocratic family, it can be seen that Liu Biao has no corresponding means when facing the aristocratic family. To achieve a greater breakthrough in the face of aristocratic families, for Liu Biao, the difficulty is indeed a bit high.

This is also understandable. After Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, the situation was a little unstable. Liu Biao has made a lot of efforts to make Jingzhou develop to the present state.

Some families also recognized Liu Biao's ability.

It's not easy for the talents who have been living in Jingzhou to fool them.

"Weigong, be more careful." Li Jue reminded him.

Chapter 739

Li Su smiled and said: "There is no need for that. Since Liu Biao received us, it means that he has fear of us. Besides, if Liu Biao really intends to do something, we are in the state pastoral mansion. How useful will resistance be? Woolen cloth."

Li Su's words made Li Jue feel a little heavy. He wanted to do something under Lu Bu's command. It would be a pity if he died in Jingzhou for no apparent reason.

After becoming a general under Lu Bu, Li Jue has not had time to develop what he is good at.

After Lv Bu has a better reputation among the princes, it will be of great benefit to the civil servants and military generals who follow Lv Bu, which makes them more serious when doing ordinary things, in order to get more recognition from Lv Bu .

The monarch's approval is of great significance to the courtiers.

This mission, through Li Su's narration, made Li Jue realize that the opportunity has come. As long as he can get Lu Bu's approval and perform better in the future, He Chou's status in the army cannot be obtained to a greater extent. What about the improvement.

Li Jue believes that through his own efforts, he will definitely be able to stand out under Lu Bu's command.

Now that he is going to Jingzhou as an envoy, he must do things well. This is the best chance to get Lv Bu's approval.

When Li Su faced such danger, he was so calm. As a general, Li Jue had nothing to fear.

As Li Su said, since he came to Jingzhou, his life was already in Liu Biao's hands. If Liu Biao wanted to harm them, it might be a matter of order.

Up to now, Liu Biao still has not made a move, which shows that Liu Biao is jealous.

After arriving in Jingzhou, Li Su did not hide his secret actions from Li Jue. What Li Su saw was that Lu Bu also had secret forces in Jingzhou.

After the monarch shows stronger strength, it will give more confidence to the civilian and military generals who follow him.

Li Su's secret actions can achieve more success, which has a great relationship with the news from Wang Yue and others. Otherwise, Li Su wants to win so many opponents Liu Biao to attack Lu Bu in a short period of time. How can it be a simple matter for officials who are dissatisfied.

What happened this time made Li Su feel more awe towards Lu Bu. Don't think that because Lu Bu is a general, he will have more contempt. The price of contempt after that may be extremely heavy.

Up to now, Li Su thinks that the matter of going to Jingzhou as an envoy is relatively perfect, and he has left doubts in the minds of Jingzhou officials in advance.

As long as the battle of the Jingzhou Army does not go well, it will bring more obstacles to Liu Biao.

It is not an easy task to really stop Liu Biao from sending troops. Even if Li Su has the bargaining chip given by Lu Bu, it will take a lot of effort to persuade Liu Biao to succeed. Besides, Lu Bu has no real plan to use these things Giving it to Liu Biao is just to delay time and make Liu Biao have more hesitation.

Entering the hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion, seeing the formation of officials from Jingzhou, Li Su's expression was calm, without the slightest fear. Anyway, Li Su was also an official who followed Dong Zhuo back then.

Seeing Li Su's performance, Liu Biao nodded secretly. It seems that Li Su has a certain ability to be able to be responsible for Lu Bu's mission to Jingzhou, but now is not the time to appreciate Li Su. Li Su, it is very necessary to express your attitude.

It is best to get some benefits from Li Su's hands. In this case, it may be more helpful when attacking Lu Bu.

No matter what some officials in Jingzhou think about this confrontation in secret, Liu Biao will not back down. After coming to Jingzhou, he is eager to do something. Now Jingzhou is stable and there are many soldiers in the army , It is the occasion of making contributions.

Other princes can find opportunities to strengthen their own strength, and Liu Biao will not let go of such an opportunity. Yuan Shu sent people to join forces, and in Liu Biao's view, this is the arrival of an opportunity.

After seizing this opportunity, Liu Biao's influence among the civil servants and generals in Jingzhou will be even greater, and the constraints of his family will be correspondingly reduced.

A powerful monarch is not something that ordinary families can provoke. This is also Kuai Liang's analysis.

After Kuai Liang's words, Liu Biao had more expectations for this confrontation.

As for Cai Mao's different views on the matter of attacking Lu Bu, it seems irrelevant at present. As long as war breaks out, no matter how many ideas Cai Mao has, he can only put it into action.

Once the military order was issued, Cai Mao, as a general in the army, would dare to disobey it. Liu Biao still has this prestige in Jingzhou.

"Xuzhou envoy Li Su has met Jingzhou Mu." Li Su stepped forward and cupped his hands.

Liu Biao nodded slightly and said, "I'm quite surprised that the envoy from Xuzhou came to Jingzhou. Could it be that Lu Bu feels that his crimes are serious and he wants to ask for forgiveness?"

As soon as he said a word, the civil servants and generals in the hall burst into laughter.

Li Jue, who was following behind Li Su, looked ashen, and as the saying goes, the master humiliated his ministers to death. Now he is Lu Bu's subordinate, so he naturally hoped that he could get the treatment he deserved after he came to Jingzhou.

Besides, the monarch loses face, but as a courtier, there is no honor.

After the laughter gradually subsided, Li Su said lightly: "Jingzhou Mu is joking, Wen Hou is Xuzhou Mu who was appointed by the imperial court. During the period when he was in charge of governing Xuzhou, the people in Xuzhou got a stable life. The development is also obvious to all, how can such an official be called a serious crime, it seems that Jingzhou Mu has too much ignorance of Wenhou."

Li Su was not polite at all in his words. If Liu Biao's words could not be responded to well, it would be a mistake as an envoy. After returning to Xuzhou, he could not do a good job in this aspect the intersection.

Kuai Yue went out and shouted: "What a Xuzhou envoy, to be so presumptuous in front of Zhou Mu, come here, pull this person down for deep frying."

After hearing Li Su's words, the two soldiers broke into the hall immediately, supporting Li Su on one left and one on the right.

Li Jue shouted loudly, "Presumptuous."

However, the soldiers in the army will not stop because of Li Jue's anger. In Jingzhou, it is most appropriate to obey the orders of Jingzhou officials, otherwise, they may lose their jobs.

"In the state pastoral mansion, how can you wait to be arrogant and unrestrained." Kuai Yue snorted coldly.

Chapter 740 Marquis Wen is willing to form an alliance with the state shepherd

The officials who didn't know why saw this scene, their eyes tightened. If Liu Biao really executed Li Su directly, it would be a statement of position to the greatest extent, and the two sides would face an endless situation.

Facing all this, Liu Bian remained calm.

It is impossible to say that Li Su is not nervous in his heart to support the two soldiers.

"Aren't Jingzhou Mu's actions afraid of arousing the anger of Marquis Wen?" Li Su said in a deep voice, "Marquis Wen's bravery is well known in the world. Sending envoys to Jingzhou this time is also a respect for Zhou Mu. , if things like the execution of Xuzhou envoys spread, it will have a bad impact on the reputation of the state pastor, right?"

After hearing Li Su's words, Liu Biao's eyes tightened. In Xuzhou, there is Xuzhou newspaper, and Lu Bu sent envoys to Jingzhou with great fanfare. If Lu Bu gets a handle on this matter, it is really nothing good thing.

Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, cherished his own reputation very much when he was ordinary, even more so than other princes.

"Bring the Xuzhou envoy back." Liu Biao said.

Seeing this scene, Kuai Yue sighed secretly. If Liu Biao made no other changes, after the two soldiers left with Li Su, they would fry Li Su directly. The most important thing is to help Liu Biao and Lu Bu completely break.

Lu Bu's reputation among the princes is not good. It is difficult for such a prince to gain the approval of scholars, no matter how great he is.

Relatively speaking, Liu Biao's reputation is very good. If he can assist a prince like Liu Biao to achieve a career, it will be a very good thing for Kuai Yue.

When the strength of the monarch is stronger, the Kuai family who follows the monarch can get more benefits from it.

It can be seen that some of the previous actions of Jingzhou officials and the impact on their reputation made Liu Biao hesitate.
