The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

"Why did you come here this time?" Liu Biao asked.

Li Su calmed down and said, "Marquis Wen has admired Jingzhou Mu's reputation for a long time, so he sent me to make friends with Zhou Mu. Marquis Wen is willing to form an alliance with Zhou Mu, to advance and retreat together, and not to attack each other."

"To show his sincerity, Marquis Wen is willing to tell Zhou Mu the method of making the Hundred Refined Weapon."

As soon as he said that, the civil servants and generals in the hall immediately started talking about it. The method of making the Hundred-Refined Weapon was firmly in the palm of Lu Bu's hands. Compared with Xuzhou, there is a huge gap in quantity, and it is even more impossible to equip the army in batches.

Nowadays, not to mention the soldiers in the army, even some generals in the army do not have hundreds of refined weapons to use.

This is also the current situation of the Jingzhou army. Now that Liu Biao and Lu Bu are at odds, it will be even more difficult to buy a hundred-refined weapon from Lu Bu. The situation has reached such a point, how can Lu Bu make a move to strengthen the enemy's strength? thing.

And Li Su opened his mouth to tell Liu Biao the method of making the Hundred Refined Weapon, what kind of means and courage is this.

From this matter, it can be seen that Lu Bu was sincere in forming an alliance with Liu Biao.

Many officials are secretly thinking about how much help this incident will be to Jingzhou if it can become a reality.

When the generals in the army have more sophisticated weapons, they will be more relaxed when dealing with battles, and the production method of the hundred-refined weapon can make Liu Biao's status among the princes correspondingly improved. After hearing the news, the young princes will come to make friends with Liu Biao one after another.

In the face of such benefits, it is difficult for any prince to remain calm.

In the past, how many princes sent envoys to Xuzhou just to get more secrets from Lu Bu. The method of making the Hundred-Refined Weapon is even more important to the princes.

After getting the production method of Hundred Refined Weapons, he can be far ahead of other princes in terms of military strength, which will be of great help to the future battles of the army.

However, Lu Bu's control in this regard is extremely strict. If he wants to obtain the method of making a hundred-refined weapon, no matter how much he pays, it will be difficult to succeed.

Lu Bu even used practical actions to inform the princes of the world that the method of making the Hundred Refined Weapons would be firmly controlled by Lu Bu.

Now that the situation in Xuzhou and Yanzhou is tense, it is very possible for Lu Bu to use the method of making a hundred-refined weapon to win Liu Biao. Self-defeating, even Yuan Shu's desire to obtain more benefits from Lu Bu's hands will become impossible.

Lu Bu's actions like this are not to divide the relationship between Liu Biao and Yuan Shu.

Even after they figured out what was going on, some officials still had yearning in their hearts. What could be more tempting than getting so many benefits without bloodshed?

Teaming up with Liu Biao to attack Yanzhou may be successful, but getting the secret out of Lu Bu's hands is not a simple matter.

As a brave and skilled fighter among the princes of the world, even if the Xuzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army lost on the battlefield, does it mean that Lu Bu has no other means?

The harm brought by war is often great. If the monarch is not cautious when facing the war, it is likely to bring many hidden dangers.

Liu Biao was able to achieve such development among the princes, and he put in a lot of effort, among which was the support of the Jingzhou family.

Therefore, when Liu Biao made some choices, the family in Jingzhou would have a cautious attitude and give Liu Biao more support without harming the interests of the family.

But in the case of war, the situation is very different. Once the war starts, it is not a simple matter to stop it, and this time the target of the war is the fierce Lu Bu among the princes.

If the battle cannot be carried out smoothly, how passive will the Jingzhou side fall into?

Even with Liu Biao's disposition, after hearing Li Su's directly thrown chips, his heart was moved.

"Lv Bu is a good trick. It's nonsense to try to win over the state shepherd with this method." Kuai Liang came out and scolded.

Li Su said lightly: "Wen Hou attaches great importance to the alliance with Jingzhou Mu, otherwise, he would not send his subordinates to Jingzhou at this time. If Wen Hou comes up with such a thing, in Jingzhou Mu's opinion , If it is still insincere, just treat it as if you didn’t say what you said before.”

Chapter 741 Must Pay a Certain Price

The civilian and military generals in the city had more considerations when faced with such a situation, and some of them were moved.

If Jingzhou launches a war against Lu Bu, it will have a great impact. If some things are not handled properly, it will even bring disaster to some families.

Besides, wouldn't it be a better thing for Jingzhou to stabilize? Why is there a need for war? Now, Lu Bu has provided a method that does not require war and can also benefit Jingzhou.

Cai Mao said: "Message from Xuzhou, have you brought the making method of Hundred Refined Weapons here?"

Li Su shook his head and said: "Such an important thing can only be handed over to Jingzhou Mu after the two parties have formed an alliance. How could they carry it with them?"

In the dark, Li Su sneered, the method of making the Hundred Refined Weapon is of great importance, and it is an important bargaining chip in Lu Bu's hands.

Besides, when faced with such a temptation, even if face is important, Liu Biao will get the things at all costs, and even after getting the things, he will still declare war on Lu Bu.

Li Su is relatively clear about the faces of the princes when they face real interests.

If you want the princes to make concessions, you must let them see the benefits of doing so. Otherwise, the princes will not let go easily. This kind of thing is the same for Liu Biao.

Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, a shepherd of Jingzhou, and has a good reputation among the princes, but can Liu Biao really remain calm when faced with the production method of Bailian Weapon?

Besides, it is not uncommon for princes to secretly use other means to gain benefits.

Even princes like Yuan Shu secretly controlled the Black Clothes Pavilion, which was famous in the rivers and lakes. What kind of things could not happen.

After hearing Li Su's words, the civil servants and military generals present could not maintain a calm attitude, especially the generals in the army. How helpful is the improvement of strength.

But Liu Biao must remain calm in the face of such a temptation. Who can be sure that this is not a trap deliberately set by Lu Bu. The current situation in Xuzhou and Yanzhou is urgent, and it is reasonable for Lu Bu to find a breakthrough.

With the strength of Xuzhou Army and Yanzhou Army, it is quite difficult to fight Yuan Shu and Liu Biao. The strength of the three parties is almost the same in a strict sense. When attacking Lu Bu, there are Sun Ce, Liu Bei and Kong With princes like Rong helping each other, the situation became even more unfavorable for Lu Bu.

And as long as Lu Bu can open a gap in Jingzhou, there will be more possibilities when dealing with the subsequent war.

The Jingzhou army claims to have a strength of [-]. If Jingzhou does not attack Yanzhou, if a war breaks out under Lu Bu's rule, he can send more troops from Yanzhou to Xuzhou to fight Yuan Shu.

When the strengths of the two sides are equal, it is simply impossible for Yuan Shu to make greater achievements on the battlefield in Xuzhou.

Besides, without Liu Biao's help, would Yuan Shu only dare to confront Lu Bu head-on with his personal strength?

"There is no need to talk about this matter, unless we come up with the method of making a hundred-refined weapon now." Liu Biao said solemnly.

Li Su smiled and said: "The state shepherd is also a shrewd person. If Marquis Wen gives such an important thing to the state herd, and the state herd turns against him, it will not be the loss of Marquis Wen. Since it is an alliance between the two parties, it must be shown Come with the corresponding sincerity."

Doesn't Liu Biao understand the reason behind it? Obtaining the method of making a hundred-refined weapon from Lu Bu is full of difficulties in itself. Lu Bu is not a fledgling prince. Powerful, it is shocking.

In front of such princes, if you want to get more benefits, you must pay a certain price.

The Xuzhou side sent envoys to Jingzhou. If the Jingzhou side is interested, they need to send envoys to Xuzhou to discuss the alliance with Lu Bu.

If such a thing really happened, Liu Biao's previous words of denouncing Lu Bu would become a slap in the face.

Even if Liu Biao has ideas about Hundred Refined Weapons and even gunpowder, he cannot choose to cooperate with Lu Bu at this time. Once such cooperation is achieved, the impact on reputation will be too great. As a famous prince among the princes existence, Liu Biao naturally needs to pay more attention to this aspect.

The temptation given by Lu Bu is not insignificant, but in Liu Biao's view, as long as Yanzhou and Xuzhou can be breached, these secrets that originally belonged to Lu Bu will surface and be obtained by Jingzhou. There can be other means.

War is inevitable. The key is how much benefit Jingzhou can get after the war is over. If the harvest cannot satisfy Jingzhou's family, Liu Biao's influence in Jingzhou will be reduced.

This kind of situation is not what Liu Biao wants to see. He has been operating in Jingzhou for many years in order to have greater achievements among the princes. Now such an opportunity is in front of him. How to better grasp it is necessary. Look at the issue of trade-offs.

"The envoy from Xuzhou came all the way, and it's been hard work, so let's go back and rest first." Liu Biao waved his hand, obviously not planning to have more entanglements with Li Su on this matter.

On the other hand, Li Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from Liu Biao's current actions, there is still some hesitation. In fact, it is impossible for any prince to be absolutely calm when facing Lu Bu. The reputation in the middle school is obtained by relying on strong strength. How many powerful princes want to benefit from Lu Bu, but it is difficult to succeed.

After Lu Bu's position in Xuzhou and Yanzhou became more and more stable, there were many benefits to the civil servants and generals who followed Lu Bu, so these people would not easily betray Lu Bu unless necessary.

After taking refuge in other vassals, they may benefit temporarily, but after such a time passes, what they will face will be the embezzlement of the family under the original vassal rule, unless their family is strong enough to withstand Such a test, otherwise, the family's years of hard work might become the capital for other families to grow.

In terms of choice, the aristocratic family is cautious, unless Liu Biao and Yuan Shu are able to win the battle against Lu Bu with a destructive posture, so that more people can see that following Lu Bu, there will be no one. There is no hope at all. In this case, they may make choices one after another.

Chapter 742 There Will Be a Confrontation Sooner or Later

Otherwise, we can only wait until the war breaks out.

In fact, the Xuzhou and Yanzhou families also had hope for Lu Bu. Lu Bu led the army to rise up in Xuzhou at a time of crisis. In such an urgent situation, Lu Bu could still win the war. Now, the possibility of victory is even greater.

When facing Lu Bu, the princes need to have a more cautious attitude because the troops controlled by Lu Bu are too powerful, which makes Lu Bu not need to have more fear when facing other princes. On the contrary, some princes are fighting against Lu Bu. What is needed is to think carefully about what kind of benefits such a move can bring to them.

Liu Biao's current achievements in Jingzhou are due to the efforts of the princes. If many years of hard work go to waste because of some mistakes in actions, Liu Biao will not be able to forgive himself.

War is what Liu Biao wants to see, but victory is also what Liu Biao wants to get.

After the war is won, Liu Biao will have a greater say in Jingzhou. Some families dare not disobey his orders more. Is there anything more important than this? As for Speaking of this confrontation, Liu Biao still has the confidence to win.

Lu Bu's troops are strong and strong, and the Jingzhou army has experienced many battles in these years. Even a sturdy existence like Sun Jian was killed in the confrontation.

After Li Su left, the officials in the arena talked a lot, especially when the generals were talking, their faces were flushed. Obviously, what Li Su talked about just now moved their hearts.

Isn't that the case for Cai Mao? In charge of the Jingzhou navy, Cai Mao has a high status in the army, and also has an important voice in the state pastoral mansion.

Cai Mao is not just a general, but he has the support of the Cai family behind him. Such a general, after he takes over the military power in Jingzhou, can have a great influence. The general family treats Cai Mao with respect. .

Military generals are vulgar, and they will feel inferior when facing civilian officials, but such a thing will not exist in Cai Mao. Cai Mao is from a wealthy family, and when facing civil servants, he is also proud. .

After some debate, there was no result at all. Many officials insisted on their own opinions. In the eyes of the officials, things like wars are naturally related to the life and death of Jingzhou. If they are not careful in this regard, the stability of Jingzhou The situation may be broken by an order.

In fact, many officials also know in their hearts that it is indeed a wise move to join forces with Yuan Shu to attack Lu Bu. After the war is won, the benefits that can be gained from it are beyond imagination, but in the process of thinking about the war, Jingzhou may be shocked. The price paid by the other side, they cannot maintain peace in their hearts.

It is naturally the best to gain benefits in the war. If you lose troops and generals instead of gaining gains after sending out troops, it will be bad.

There was no conflict between Lu Bu and Jingzhou before. Once the war started, the enmity between the two sides would be settled. It can even be said that there is little room for relaxation. Do you trust?

Just like the current relationship between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, Yuan Shu originally had a good relationship with Lu Bu, but after seeing Lu Bu's greater achievements, Yuan Shu had other ideas, thinking that Lu Bu was too threatening, and wanted to Taking advantage of Lu Bu's unstable foothold, he eliminated Lu Bu in one fell swoop.

However, such an action ended in failure, and even the city under its rule suffered considerable losses.

After the war, although the relationship between the two sides has been eased to a certain extent, it is more because the princes need to recuperate after the confrontation and need time to digest the results of the battle

Now that Yuan Shu's strength has gradually recovered, he wants to attack Lu Bu again, which shows that Yuan Shu is worried about Lu Bu, and he can only sleep peacefully after eradicating Lu Bu.

Who made Lu Bu have a great reputation among the princes? Even a powerful existence like Yuan Shu could not win the war when facing Lu Bu.

Sooner or later, there will be a confrontation between the two sides. The difference is that this time Yuan Shu has found an ally, that is Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.

Liu Biao, who wanted to make a difference in the land of Jingzhou, agreed. After the alliance between the two parties, the benefits that could be brought were too great for Liu Biao to refuse.

What's more, after this battle is successful, the strength of the Jingzhou army will definitely be improved accordingly. If Sun Ce acts rashly in the future, Liu Biao will have enough to deal with it, and it is even possible to send troops to destroy Sun Ce.

Before Liu Biao faced Sun Ce, he had a cautious attitude. After all, Sun Ce belonged to Yuan Shu. If Sun Ce was forced too quickly, Yuan Shu would be attracted instead. Otherwise, with Liu Biao's strength, it would be impossible to destroy Sun Ce. under the words.

Even if Sun Ce has brave and skilled fighters under his command, the Jingzhou army has a clear advantage in numbers. It is not easy to survive when the army is dispatched.

It is precisely because of Sun Ce's affairs that the relationship between Liu Biao and Yuan Shu is not very good. If there were not such powerful princes as Lu Bu around, Liu Biao would definitely not cooperate with Yuan Shu.

After the civil servants and generals in the hall left one after another, Liu Biao left Cai Mao and others behind.

Lu Bu is willing to pay the price for the alliance in Jingzhou. If such a thing can be used well, it may be possible to get more benefits from Lu Bu.

The princes are very interested in the secrets of the Xuzhou craftsman's workshop. If these secrets are grasped as soon as possible, more obstacles can be avoided in the development process.

As for some officials who had some objections in the past, when they saw Liu Biao's strength became stronger, how could they dare to say more, and they might scramble to gather around Liu Biao.

After Lv Bu took charge of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, the reason why Yanzhou and Xuzhou were able to undergo such changes in a short period of time was due to his extraordinary means. In the face of such means, it was difficult for businessmen under the rule of the princes to refuse.

This kind of temptation will make more families scramble to trade with Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu's strength will be strengthened.

Faced with such a situation, even if the princes are anxious, how effective can they be? Do they still have to issue an order to directly prevent the merchants under their rule from going to Xuzhou to do business?

Chapter 743 This May Be Lu Bu's Conspiracy

There are many princes in the world, but none of them issued such an order. No matter what kind of reputation Lv Bu has among the princes, it is a foregone conclusion that Lv Bu occupies Xuzhou and Yanzhou. It is helpful to play under the rule of the princes. Under such circumstances, they need to be more cautious when making some choices.

Otherwise, if he offends Lu Bu, Lu Bu also has other countermeasures.

Facts have proved that Lv Bu has a strong combat power and considerable influence among the princes. The attack of the army under the command of the princes has limited influence on the Xuzhou army in charge of Lv Bu.

Because Lu Bu himself is a sturdy general, when Lu Bu leads the cavalry to appear on the battlefield, it will bring even greater shock to the enemy army, so that more enemy troops will not dare to act rashly at this time, and even in front of them When facing Lu Bu, he had many fears.

This is also the result of Lu Bu's management of Xuzhou and Yanzhou.

It is reasonable for the powerful Lu Bu to have more voice among the princes. Nowadays, when the princes go to war, the powerful themselves can get more benefits.

If there is not enough strength, even a rich city under the rule will be difficult to be preserved in the war.

Lu Bu's prominent reputation under the rule was obtained by relying on a knife and a gun on the battlefield. This kind of situation made more princes take a more cautious attitude when facing Lu Bu, because they were worried that once some actions If Lu Bu feels dissatisfied, Lu Bu's revenge will follow.

When military commanders think about problems, they are not as complicated as ordinary princes. If they can be solved with fists, they will not waste their tongues.

At this time, Xuzhou sent envoys to Jingzhou, which actually showed Lu Bu's attitude to a large extent. You must know that Liu Biao publicly condemned Lu Bu before, but Lu Bu sent envoys to Jingzhou, which shows that Lu Bu has a relationship with Jingzhou. Give thick thoughts.

If the alliance between the two parties is successful, all the previous unhappiness will disappear. As for Liu Biao's public denunciation, at most it will only become the laughing stock of the princes.

In the eyes of more princes, getting actual benefits is the most important thing. As for the loss of reputation, what kind of relationship does it have?

After one's own strength has been strengthened, he can do more when the princes are fighting for the front. When facing other princes, he has enough means to protect himself, and even obtain more from the enemy's hands in the confrontation. the benefits of.
