The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

"My lord, don't be angry. Although Cheng Yu's resourcefulness is amazing, under the current situation in Yanzhou, it is extremely difficult to help Cao Cao out of the crisis." Jia Xu said: "As expected, Cao Cao will definitely send an envoy Come."

"What's Wen He's plan?"

"Secretly win over the people of Yanzhou. My lord led the army to fight against the Yanzhou army before, and won many times, which made the people of Yanzhou fearful. As long as you win over the officials of Yanzhou, why not get more benefits in this battle. "Jia Xu laughed.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Wen He is in charge of this matter. Send Yuan Shu's envoy away as soon as possible."

"Here." Jia Xu cupped his hands.

Unlike other princes whose emotions were not visible, Lu Bu showed it directly, and such a monarch would not say that he used other methods in secret, but it was good news for his courtiers.

As a monarch, it is very necessary to be able to hide his emotions and anger, to keep the face of Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, so that the officials under his command cannot grasp the changes in the monarch's emotions. On this road, Lu Bu still needs to A long grind.

The breath of war is coming quietly, the turmoil in Yanzhou, and the deployment of Yuan Shu's army all indicate that a large-scale war is likely to break out in the future.

Many Xuzhou officials are secretly guessing what kind of attitude Xuzhou will have during the changes in Yanzhou. More officials feel that the Xuzhou Army will not miss this opportunity. It can be said that there is quite a relationship between the Yanzhou Army and Lu Bu When the situation in Yanzhou is the most complicated, it is most important to win more benefits from Yanzhou.

As for the name, it is very simple, the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou are rampant, and even Liu Dai, the shepherd of Yanzhou, died at the hands of the Yellow Turbans.

Few people are optimistic about the situation of Cao Cao in Yanzhou. Even if Cao Cao has many means, this time he is facing internal and external troubles.

Just as Jia Xu expected, when Yuan Shu was dispatching troops, Cao Cao sent Yanzhou to serve as Wang Kai to come to Xuzhou again.

It was not the first time Wang Kai had contact with Lv Bu. He learned that Cao Cao wanted to befriend Lv Bu, so he took the initiative to ask Ying.

Liu Dai died, and Cao Cao became the ruler of Yanzhou. Although the appointment of the imperial court has not been confirmed, this matter has actually been confirmed. What worries Wang Kai most is whether Yanzhou can get out of this crisis. The royal family of Yanzhou, It is also a big family. If the right team cannot be found during the turmoil in Yanzhou, the consequences will definitely be serious.

Why is it that Wang Kai was looking for opportunities for the Wang family when he was sent to Xuzhou?

At present, officials in Yanzhou are generally not very optimistic about Cao Cao. Being able to defeat the Yellow Turbans one after another in Dongjun does not mean that they can lead the Yanzhou Army to victory after taking charge of Yanzhou. Yanzhou not only has the Yellow Turbans raging counties and counties, but also has Yuan Shu and Lu Bu staring at them. The soldiers and horses of the two princes are the biggest threat.

Especially when facing the Xuzhou Army, how much fighting spirit can the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army raise.

Wang Kai also had a channel to inquire about the news. After learning that Yuan Shu's envoy was in the city, he felt the urgency of the situation. If he could unite with Lu Bu successfully this time, Yanzhou might be able to come out of the crisis.

When all parties were guessing how the situation in Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Yuzhou would change this time, Cao Cao took the initiative to attack and led [-] Yanzhou troops to raid the Yellow Turbans. The army pursued for more than ten miles, seized countless supplies, killed more than [-] Yellow Turbans, and captured more than [-] Yellow Turbans alive.

When the news came, the officialdom in Yanzhou was shaken, and many officials had to admit that they had indeed ignored this little man before. They did not expect Cao Cao to have such a terrifying side in leading troops in battle.

The Yellow Turbans that fled to Yanzhou could no longer pose enough threats to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's actions did not stop there. From the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans that were captured alive, Cao Cao selected the most elite soldiers and formed an army alone. It is the Qingzhou Army with tens of thousands of people. It is the army formed after Cao Cao took control of Yanzhou.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are powerful in combat. After being incorporated into the army, they don't need much time for training. They just need to let them know some basic rules.

It has to be said that Cao Cao has rich experience in appeasing people's hearts and recruiting soldiers, and he has tidied up tens of thousands of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans in a short period of time.

However, within half a month, this change in the situation in Yanzhou really shocked all parties. The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans that swept through Yanzhou were defeated by Cao Cao in the first battle, and Cao Cao took advantage of the opportunity to incorporate the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans for his own use. In this battle against Yuan Shu and Lu Bu In the process, maybe it can play a bigger role.

If it was put in the presence of Emperor Xiaoling, Cao Cao's actions would definitely be criticized by the courtiers. Anyway, the yellow scarf is a rebellion of the big man. When seeing the yellow scarf, the most important attitude is to shoot and kill. If you are dealing with rebellion If you are merciful and soft-hearted about things, wouldn't more people become the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

But the current situation is very different. The majesty of the court is not there, and the princes are fighting for their own interests. If they want to survive in such a complicated situation, they must have sufficient strength.

If Cao Cao is given enough time, he has the confidence to defend Yanzhou and do more.

Although the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou did not pose a threat in a short period of time, Ji Ling led the army, but directly took over Chenliu County. When the prefect of Chenliu saw Yuan Shu's army coming, he had no intention of resisting at all. Compared with Cao Cao, they were more optimistic about the The famous Yuan family of four generations and three princes.

Chen Liu took refuge, and Yanzhou was shaken again. Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to lead an army of [-] to Dingtao to stop Yuan Shu's army that was coming.

On this occasion, only Baima, Jibei, Dongping, Rencheng, Shanyang, and Jiyin are in the hands of Cao Cao in Yanzhou. As for the attitude of the officials of other counties when the situation in Yanzhou is critical, what kind of attitude will they have? Unknown also.

Once Yanzhou is in danger, anything can happen.

Yuan Shu is a powerful vassal in today's world. How to look at it, it will have a better future to take refuge in Yuan Shu than to follow Cao Cao. At that time, Yuan Shu will occupy Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou, order the princes to attack Chang'an, and welcome the emperor back. They followed behind Yuan Shu, they were the ministers of Zhongxing of the great Han Dynasty, and no official would refuse to leave their names in history.

Chapter 140 Xuzhou Mobilizes Troops

The further actions of Yuan Shu's army made Yanzhou tremble.

In the Xuzhou State Shepherd's Mansion, Lv Buduan sat at the head, with civil servants and generals lined up on both sides.

When Lu Bu saw that everyone had arrived, he said in a deep voice, "Yanzhou is in turmoil and the Yellow Turbans are rampant. As a Han Dynasty official, I should focus on stabilizing the city. The Yanzhou army is unable to deal with the attack of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. This Marquis decided to send a large army into Yanzhou. Put down the chaos in Yanzhou."

Everyone looked at Lu Bu with burning eyes. They had expected this result a long time ago. Since the end of the last war, the Xuzhou army seemed to be preparing for the next war. Everyone will be dumbfounded.

On the occasion of Lu Bu's wedding alone, the money and food he received reached 90 million yuan, of which 4 million yuan was all traded with materials. If [-] million yuan was used to buy rice and grain, it would be worth [-] shi. Many, one soldier consumes more than one stone of rice grain in one month. Xuzhou's current army strength is only nearly [-], and [-] million yuan of rice grain is enough for the army to fight for two months.

Besides, even if the Xuzhou army is going to fight, it is impossible to dispatch all of them.

Food, grass, and supplies are the most important thing for the princes to fight. If the food, grass, and supplies cannot be guaranteed, it is simply a fantasy to expect the soldiers to fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield to win the victory.

"Order Zhang Liao to lead an army of [-] troops to Jibei to put an end to the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Jibei." Lu Bu issued the first order.

Many officials understood that it was Lu Bu who went to Jibei to pacify the Yellow Turbans because he wanted to occupy Jibei.

Although Cao Cao's method is amazing, he defeated the Yellow Turbans in the territory in a short period of time, and incorporated the Yellow Turbans for his own use, but the turmoil in Yanzhou will not be calmed down in a short time. threat.

The princes will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When Yanzhou is in turmoil, the most important thing is to gain more benefits from it.

Compared to the Chenliu Commandery acquired by Yuan Shu's army, Jibei is just a small place.

"I ordered Chen Xin, the captain of the State of Lu, to inquire about the news of the Yellow Turbans in Rencheng and Dongping. Don't slack off, and beware of the Yellow Turbans attacking the city."

This is Lv Bu's first arrangement on the Yanzhou battlefield. Both Taishan County and the State of Lu have [-] soldiers and horses, and the army under Zhang Liao's command was originally divided from the Xuzhou Army. The combat power is not the strength of the State of Lu. It can be compared, and there are [-] cavalry under Zhang Liao's command.

"Gao Shun listens to the order." Lu Bu suddenly raised his voice.

"The end is here." Gao Shunzheng came out and said.

Lu Budao: "This Marquis appointed you to be the vanguard of your Xuzhou army. He will lead 500 soldiers to Gaoping, open roads in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and equip [-] cavalry from the Xiaoqi Battalion to inquire about news along the way."

"Here." Gao Shun clasped his fists and said with some excitement in his voice. A vanguard army is of great significance to an army. Lu Bu's ability to entrust him with the affairs of the vanguard army has already shown his position in Lu Bu's heart.

After leaving Dong Zhuo, Gao Shun discovered that Lu Bu treated him differently, not to mention other things, just the current equipment of the trapped camp is enough to make the general team daunting. It is also the most excellent team, what kind of bloody storm will be set off when such a team appears on the regular website.

The generals in the army looked at Gao Shun with envy. The vanguard army had more chances to get credit, which represented the most elite force of the Xuzhou army.

"Pioneer matters are of great importance, and we must not slack off. If there is any negligence, military law will deal with it." Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

"Humble job understands." Gao Shun clasped his fists and said.

This is a test of Gao Shun's ability. If Gao Shun is qualified for the position of the vanguard army and the Xuzhou army wins the Yanzhou battlefield, Gao Shun will get a lot of credit, which is certain.

"The rest of the generals are ready to go to battle. Wei Xu will lead [-] soldiers to guard Pengcheng, and Guo Jia will follow the army."

After the order was issued, the Xuzhou army immediately began to be busy. The army needed to prepare for the battle, and the busiest ones were Jia Xu and Mi Zhu, who were in charge of dispatching food, grass and supplies.

Leaving Jia Xu and Mi Zhu to guard Pengcheng, Lu Bu can feel more at ease to compete with Cao Cao and Yuan Shu on the Yanzhou battlefield.

Xuzhou is where Lu Bu's foundation lies. If Pengcheng loses, he will return with no success in the army. Currently Xuzhou is stable, and no one is sure whether there will be forces against him behind him, especially Yuan Shu, who has no choice but to Defend.

As a powerful vassal, Yuan Shu would definitely not be reconciled to Lu Bu taking the lead in Xuzhou. If Xuzhou sends troops into Yanzhou and then attacks Xuzhou, the impact will be great, and these factors must be considered.

In this battle, in addition to the soldiers and horses of Taishan County and Lu State, the Xuzhou Army will dispatch 2 people, which is enough to show the importance attached to this battle.

Xiapi and Donghai each sent [-] soldiers to the army, and Zang Ba was on guard against the Qingzhou Army. Before that, Lu Bu, Kong Rong and Liu Bei had a lot of unhappiness, and no one was sure whether the Qingzhou Army would come Xuzhou made some moves when it sent troops.

The Xuzhou army was busy, which made the atmosphere in Pengcheng a bit dignified. The news that Lu Bu dispatched troops and generals to enter the Yanzhou battlefield spread quickly in the city.

After Han Yin learned about it, he was full of ambition. With the Xuzhou army dispatched, Yuan Shu will get more benefits on the battlefield in Yanzhou. In order to seize Yanzhou, Yuan Shu dispatched a full [-] troops, which is beyond the reach of the Xuzhou army. quantity.

But Yanzhou was worried when he was engaged in Wang Kai. Anyone can see how critical the current situation in Yanzhou is. Lu Bu and Yuan Shu dispatched the army just to help Yanzhou pacify the Yellow Turbans. Is it so simple? There is no such cheap thing Therefore, in order to develop their own strength, the princes also resorted to all means. Yuan Shao was able to seize Jizhou against the enemy, so why couldn't the other princes follow suit.

This is an era when the princes are fighting for hegemony. When the influence of the court is gone and the princes have military power in their hands, they will try their best to improve their strength. The Han Dynasty is another matter.

It is not only the battle of princes, but also the opportunity for counselors and generals to display their talents. As the saying goes, heroes emerge in troubled times. People who were originally unknown, as long as they do more at this time, they will surely be remembered by the world. Just like Jia Xu, although he had A certain reputation, compared with the current status, must be much worse.

Lu Bu's rise was accompanied by the appearance of the civilian and military generals who followed behind Lu Bu.

The officials of the State Shepherd's Mansion also started to get busy.

Chapter 141 Definitely be able to hit the ground running

After the officials of the State Shepherd's Mansion received the order, they had to complete the task as soon as possible. The army's battle was even related to the future of Xuzhou. No matter what kind of feelings they had for Lu Bu, a stable Xuzhou was the most beneficial developed by the family.

If it is said that at the beginning, the major families in Xuzhou rejected Lu Bu, now they will gradually accept Lu Bu, because Lu Bu has the strength to stabilize Xuzhou, and even make the rule more extensive. They follow Lu Bu The rear can obtain more benefits for the family.

War is inevitable, how to get benefits from war is the most important thing.

Soldiers are a major event for the country, and it is the same for a prince.

Lu Bu's arrogance in front of others actually attaches great importance to Cao Cao and Yuan Shu. This is a key measure related to whether he can further strengthen his strength. Any negligence may lead to the failure of the action. Only continuous victory, In order to get more supporters for him.

Neither Cao Cao nor Yuan Shu are easy-going people. It can be seen from Cao Cao's successive actions after taking over Yanzhou that Cao Cao has such courage.

The current strength of the Yanzhou Army is about 3, but the strength of Cao Cao's army is not only as simple as 3. The Battle of Yanzhou allowed Cao Cao to obtain a large number of Yellow Turban prisoners. After these prisoners entered the army, they could join the army. Combat is no small matter.

Chenliu County was captured by Yuan Shu. Although Yanzhou was in turmoil, Cao Cao got more time to prepare for the next battle.

"Father." Seeing Lu Bu returning, Lu Lingqi ran forward quickly.

Lu Bu lowered his body, picked up Lu Lingqi, and said, "Is Lingqi well-behaved today?"

"Father, Lingqi has always been very obedient. Mother and Aunt Xiu'er have always praised Lingqi." Lu Lingqi said seriously.

Lu Bu pinched Lingqi's face and smiled, "It's good that Lingqi is well-behaved."

"Father, Lingqi heard that you are going to the battlefield?" Lu Lingqi asked.

Lv Bu laughed and said, "Who did Lingqi listen to?"

"The servants in the mansion said that mother cried many times after learning about this." Lu Lingqi pulled Lu Bu's shirt and said, "Father, Lingqi doesn't want you to fight."

Feeling the dependence in Lu Lingqi's words, Lu Bu's heart was touched. Lu Lingqi didn't spend much time with him, which was the case in Bingzhou. On this point, Lu Bu owed Lu Lingqi and Yan Yu a lot.

"Lingqi, there are some things you still don't understand. Fighting for your father is just to live better with Lingqi. If you don't fight for your father, others will come. At that time, Xuzhou will More people will die," Lu Bu sighed.

Lu Lingqi frowned and thought for a moment, "Although Lingqi doesn't understand what father said, Lingqi believes that father will be able to win the battle."

"It's a good start, and being a father will definitely not disappoint Lingqi." Lu Bu laughed loudly.

"Father, what does it mean to be victorious? Lingqi also heard from the servants in the mansion that as long as father goes to war, he will be victorious." Lingqi asked.

Lu Bu explained with a smile: "It means that as a father, as long as you show your flag on the battlefield, you will definitely win."

"Father is an indomitable hero, not an ungrateful person as some people say." Lingqi said this, her eyes turned red.

Lu Bu touched Lingqi's head affectionately, "No matter what kind of person Weifu is in the eyes of outsiders, you are my father's most beloved daughter."

"Yes." Lu Lingqi nodded happily.

The atmosphere in the mansion, perhaps because of Xuzhou's imminent dispatch of troops, was slightly dignified.

Seeing that Yan Yu's eyes were slightly red, Lu Bu said with relief: "Yu'er, this Marquis is a general, and it is so common to fight on the battlefield. When I was in Bingzhou in the past, this Marquis also fought many times. Why should Yu'er worry about it?" What about Ben Hou?"

"My concubine is guilty, and my husband is worried." Yan Yu said.

Lu Bu held Yan Yu into his arms, "Sometimes, it's not the Marquis who is making the choice, but the situation is compelling. If the war can be avoided, why would the Marquis not want to be reunited with his family?"

"I understand what my husband said, and I hope that after my husband arrives on the battlefield, he will be more careful and not try to be brave." Yan Yu warned: "Now that my husband is Xuzhou shepherd, if my husband is ill, what kind of changes will happen to Xuzhou? .”

"Yu'er just waits in the city for the news of Ben Hou's victory. The situation in Xuzhou was so critical in the past. If you can get out of it, let alone the present." Lu Bu laughed.

"Husband, go and see Sister Zhen'er and Sister Xiu'er, they are also extremely worried about your husband's expedition," Yan Yu said.

Lu Bu nodded. He naturally knew Xiu'er's intentions, but in Lu Bu's view, Xiu'er was still a young girl, even at the age of Ji, he was still like this. When facing Xiu'er, he had a kind of The indescribable intimacy, he wanted to give Xiu'er warm emotions, to let Xiu'er feel the beauty of love, not to give an order to marry Xiu'er directly.

How many women in this era can really experience mutual love, they can't help themselves more often, even some women don't even know what their husband looks like, so they marry out of nowhere .

Once married, it will be a lifetime thing. There is too much difference in the status of women compared with men. Men can divorce them, but have you seen how many women divorce men?

Since entering the State Shepherd's Mansion, Mi Zhen has been cautious in her actions. After all, she is in the State Shepherd's Mansion, which is very different from Mi's family. The eccentric and unruly waywardness of the past can only be suppressed. After a long time, Mi Zhen found that the State Shepherd's Mansion was not as strict as the Mi family said.

Yan Yu is the main wife. When she was with her, she cared very much. The relationship between the two has also made a lot of progress. When they have nothing to do, they will chat together.

A concubine sitting and chatting with the main room, if it is known to outsiders, it will definitely feel impossible.

At present, Lu Bu only has Yan Yu and her, which makes Mi Zhen a lot more relaxed, and even the whole person is a lot happier, but every time when serving Lu Bu, Mi Zhen is a little bit powerless. On the day of the wedding, she did not get out of bed, It was laughed at by Yan Yu.

Getting along with Lu Bu also made Mi Zhen feel Lu Bu's affection. When treating her, she was not arrogant and cold in the eyes of outsiders. When talking, she cared a lot for her.

And Mi Zhen also likes the feeling of being with Lu Bu very much.

Knowing that Lu Bu was about to go to war, Mi Zhen was just like Yan Yu, but she cried many times.
