The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

And at this time, which Zhang family has strong support behind it becomes even more important.

There are not a few officials that Zhang Zhao can contact, which does not mean that these people will lend a helping hand after knowing Zhang's departure.

Two brothers, Zhang Yan and Zhang Kang, have never suffered such a crime since they were young. After seeing Zhang Zhao, they naturally burst into tears and described their situation as miserable. The performance after middle school is also described in detail.

Zhang Zhao felt that this matter was troublesome. Dead people were the most difficult part of this matter.

The struggle between families also has a certain impact on the family's tenant farmers, and such things are too normal.

After returning to the mansion, Zhang Zhao was a little out of his mind, especially Zhang Zhao's father, who persuaded him again, made Zhang Zhao's mood shaken a little.

Indeed, after Lu Bu's arrival, the Zhang family hid their strength in the dark, just because they didn't want to help Lu Bu, but it was Lu Bu who was in charge of Xuzhou after all.

Zhang Yan and Zhang Kang are Zhang Zhao's younger brothers. He can't just sit back and watch them being questioned in prison, and in this matter, the person who has the final decision-making power is Lu Bu.

The two Zhang families have a lot of influence in the city. After such a thing happened, it is natural to go through Lu Bu.

When Zhang Zhao came, Jia Xu didn't have too many surprises. Jia Xu didn't expect the struggle between the tenant farmers outside the city, but it was also conceivable for the Zhang family to come to the state pastoral mansion after encountering difficulties.

"Humble job Zhang Zhao, I have seen a military advisor." Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and said.

"I don't know why Zibu came here?" Jia Xu asked with a smile.

Zhang Zhaodao: "I came here from a humble position because there is indeed one thing that I need to ask the military advisor for help."

Jia Xu showed an interested look, "What can Zhang Zibu come here in person?"

Zhang Zhao curled his lips in secret. With Jia Xu's identity, he would definitely be able to find out where the troubled family belonged to. Now Jia Xu's attitude made it clear that he wanted to watch a show.

Zhang Zhao could only slowly talk about the struggle between the tenant farmers outside the city.

After Jia Xu heard this, he took a long breath, "Zibu, such an important event outside the city must have been reported to the state pastoral mansion. If Marquis Wen knew about it, he would be furious. Since Marquis Wen was ordered to govern Xuzhou , the pursuit is to make Xuzhou more stable, and the struggle between the tenant farmers is behind the family you and Zhang Kai belong to."

Zhang Zhao nodded in agreement.

"This matter is a bit difficult to handle. If I intervene, I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience." Jia Xu said: "Marquis Wen always pays attention to clear rewards and punishments."

"Military division, the members of the Zhang family have no dissent towards Marquis Wen, and have always supported the orders of the State Shepherd's Mansion. I also hope that the military division can intercede for the Zhang family in front of Marquis Wen. It is a great kindness that the Zhang family will never forget. " Zhang Zhao cupped his hands.

"Zibu is a smart person. Some things can be understood without being mentioned by me." Jia Xu said: "If Zibu sincerely joins Marquis Wen, the Zhang family will get out of this incident completely. It's not difficult."

Why didn't Zhang Zhao understand the meaning of Jia Xu's words, and made it clear that if the Zhang family wanted to get out of this incident, they had to make a statement on the matter of taking refuge in Lu Bu's family, otherwise, the Zhang family would never want to get out of the whole body. The family has a handle in Lu Bu's hands.

After the monarch has a legitimate reason, it is not difficult to clear a family under his rule, and the situation of the Zhang family in the city is not very good. The Chen family and the Mi family are the most prominent families in Xuzhou, and the Zhang family Even if Zhang Zhao wants to get rid of Lu Bu's control at this time, he needs to think carefully.

Chapter 243 Zhang Zhao's Allegiance

The idea that the family is the most important thing goes deep into the hearts of the children of the aristocratic family. If you can't handle the family's affairs better, how to make the family stronger, it is impossible to be in a high position without a strong family as the support.

"Zibu, how are you thinking?" Jia Xu asked with a smile.

"Actually, Zibu's intelligence can be reused under Wenhou's command, provided that Zibu sincerely helps Wenhou accomplish great things."

Zhang Zhao pondered for a long time and said slowly: "Military Master, I ask myself that I have little talent and learning, and I don't deserve the attention of Marquis Wen."

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Zi Bu's words are absurd, from my point of view, Zi Bu has not been able to truly understand the current situation of the world, otherwise, he would not have said such words. "

"Nowadays, the big man is just at a time when the wind and rain are precarious, and the princes support their troops and have formed a tendency to resist the court. Besides, the court controls Dong Zhuo and other rebels. How can the princes willingly obey the court's orders?" Jia He boasted: "Among the princes, Yuan Shao who occupies Jizhou, Yangzhou who occupies Huzhou, Yuan Shu who occupies Yuzhou, Gongsun Zan who occupies Youzhou, and the rest are Marquis Wen."

"Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou is known as a virtuous man, and he has hundreds of thousands of armored men under his command, so he is not a powerful prince." Zhang Zhao said.

"Liu Jingsheng is more than conservative but not aggressive enough." Jia Xu said.

"Yizhou, the land of abundance, is fertile and wild for thousands of miles. Liu Yan is guarding Yizhou, and his strength is also strong."

"It's not worth mentioning how much you can do if you stick to Yizhou."

Zhang Zhao was silent again, discussing the general situation of the world with Jia Xu, he had to admit that Lv Bu had become a powerful prince, and only Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu could influence Lv Bu.

"Now Marquis Wen occupies most of Yanzhou, and his strength is strong. Whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shao, they all want to win Marquis Wen. Yuan Shao has Gongsun Zan to restrain him, so it is difficult to threaten Marquis Wen. The rest is Yuan Shu, who occupies rich places like Yangzhou and Yuzhou. However, the soldiers under his command are inferior to Xuzhou's army, if Yuan Shu and Marquis Wen were to fight, in Zi Bu's opinion, who could win?"

Zhang Zhaodao: "The military adviser's words, I have already understood, and tomorrow, I will go to the State Shepherd's Mansion to see Marquis Wen."

Jia Xu nodded with a smile, "Zibu is a talented person, and assisting Marquis Wen also made the Zhang family stronger. I know that Zibu has the heart to go to Jiangdong. Jiangdong is dangerous and solid, far away from the war in the Central Plains. Can't you do it in Jiangdong? Just relying on the land of Jiangdong, can you do more?"

"Thank you, military advisor, for your reminder. A humble job is unforgettable." Zhang Zhao cupped his hands.

For a long time, Zhang Zhao had doubts about Lu Bu. The main reason was that Lu Bu's reputation among the princes was too bad. Occupying Xuzhou was not justified. Once the princes invaded Xuzhou, Lu Bu would be in danger. In this way, even the officials who followed Lu Bu would be implicated in this way.

Aristocratic families value reputation very much, and reputation is even related to the future development of their family.

And following Lu Bu is likely to become a rebellion in the eyes of the world.

But what Zhang Zhao had to admit was that after occupying Xuzhou, Lv Bu had indeed possessed a strong momentum. He used tyrannical means to stabilize Xuzhou, making the surrounding princes dare not invade. It shows that Lu Bu has the ability to confront the princes in times of chaos. Following such a monarch is a good choice for an official.

After considering the matter clearly, Zhang Zhao no longer had the initial rejection of Lu Bu.

Not leaving Xuzhou may be the opportunity for the Zhang family to rise.

Among the children of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhao is the only one who can really do it. It is no small challenge to support the whole family with one person.

After Zhang Zhao left, Jia Xu immediately informed Lu Bu of the situation. Zhang Zhao's refuge was of great significance to the further development of Xuzhou. What a shrewd person Jia Xu was, he could easily observe through Zhang Zhao's previous actions. Reveal Zhang Zhao's true ability.

After listening to Jia Xu's narration, Lu Bu laughed and said, "Wen He has contributed a lot to Zibu's help.

"My lord, the current situation in Xuzhou and Yanzhou is not what I imagined. Yuan Shu obtained thousands of hundred-refined weapons from the master, and buying another thousand-one hundred-refined weapons obviously wants to have a bigger plan. .” Jia Xu’s tone was a bit worried.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Is Wen He overly worried? Yuan Shu has to think carefully about going to war with me. If the two armies fight on the battlefield, it doesn't mean who will suffer."

Lu Bu had absolute confidence in the strength of the Xuzhou Army. After experiencing the tempering of the war, the strength of the Xuzhou Army was definitely comparable to many soldiers under Yuan Shu's command.

Even if Yuan Shu got a lot of Hundred Refined Weapons from him, so what? From Yuan Shu's hands, Lu Bu got a lot of materials, which can be used to forge more Hundred Refined Weapons. At that time, Lu Bu Still has a strength far surpassing Yuan Shu.

"Perhaps Yuan Shu's move is to plot the land of Jingzhou." Lu Bu said.

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "My lord occupies most of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, which has formed a great deterrent to Yuan Shu, and my lord has contacts with Yuan Shao, which will definitely make Yuan Shu feel jealous. At this time, what Yuan Shu most wants to do is probably to put My lord drove out from Yanzhou and Xuzhou."

"Although Liu Biao said he supported Yuan Shao, he didn't act too aggressively. Yuan Shu's attack on Liu Biao gave the lord a chance. For such a reason, Yuan Shu's advisers will definitely consider it. As expected, if Yuan Shu fights again this year, It must be attacking the lord."

Lu Bu nodded, "Yuan Shu should not be underestimated. When confronting Yuan Shu, we must make a complete plan. Ever since I occupied Xuzhou, I have never been afraid of war. Anyone who dares to invade will die without a place to die. Just in time This Marquis has seized Yuan Shu's territory."

Jia Xu was shocked, and was shocked by Lu Bu's rhetoric. Yuan Shu is one of the most powerful princes in the world today, and he is also an important figure in the Yuan family. Just the golden signboard of the Yuan family can attract a large number of talents for Yuan Shu. In this regard, it is difficult for Lu Bu to be compared with Yuan Shu.

Sometimes, it doesn't mean that after the army is strong, it can get the support of other families, especially the families that have lasted for many years. When they consider things, they will be more comprehensive.

"Why? Could it be that Wenhe doesn't have confidence in Ben Hou?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "My lord has lofty aspirations, and I admire my humble position."

Chapter 244

"Despise the enemy, but also pay attention to the enemy. Wen He and Feng Xiao are fully responsible for the planning of a war that is likely to break out, so as to ensure that if a war occurs, the army under the Marquis will not panic." Lu Bu said.

"Here." Jia Xu cupped his hands.

Once the war with Yuan Shu starts, it will be the biggest test for Lu Bu. If Lu Bu wins, he will gain a firm foothold among the princes. If the princes want to attack Lu Bu, they must consider the consequences.

If it fails, officials in Yanzhou and Xuzhou who secretly oppose Lu Bu will definitely rush to stand up, and they will not mind giving Lu Bu a fatal blow at this time.

With the news that Zhang Zhao is about to join him, Lu Bu is in a good mood. Judging from the current situation, the strength displayed by the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army is still good. They will grow up at a faster rate.

In the battle, one must consider the matter of food, grass and supplies. This is also the most important factor in the battle. In Xuzhou, there is no need to worry about this issue. Even the equipment of the soldiers in the army is gradually being replaced. In the assessment, there will be hundreds of refined weapons rewarded to the officers and soldiers of the army. If things go on like this, the number of hundred refined weapons in the Xuzhou army will reach an astonishing number.

Not only the Xuzhou Army, but the Yanzhou Army also adhered to this system. With the support of the Xuzhou Craftsman Workshop, Zhang Liao didn't need to worry about what Bailian Bingren provided.

The consumption of the army is definitely a huge figure, especially the consumption of the soldiers under Lu Bu's command, which made other princes dumbfounded.

The next day, after Zhang Zhao pondered for a long time, he walked slowly to the State Shepherd's Mansion. He did not take a carriage.

In the State Shepherd's Mansion, Zhang Zhao is just an official with a low reputation. He is talented but has not been reused enough to attract the attention of others. There are many talented people these days. is the most important.

In the inner city, the most indispensable thing is officials. Zhang Zhao, who is dressed in an official uniform, does not look awkward walking in the inner city.

"My next Zhang Zhao, please see Marquis Wen." Zhang Zhao cupped his hands.

The soldiers guarding the State Shepherd's Mansion nodded and walked in. Zhang Zhao was an official in Xuzhou, so it was easier than ordinary people to meet Lu Bu.

"Isn't this the famous Zhang Zibu?" A discordant voice sounded.

Zhang Zhao looked sideways, and said in a calm tone, "I don't know what advice Zhang Qianzuo has?"

The person who came was Zhang Tu, brother of Zhang Kai's clan, who served as Xuzhou's false assistant and was in charge of clerical affairs. Among Xuzhou officials, he could only be regarded as a low-level subordinate official.

Zhang Tu smiled and said, "Advice? Who dares to instruct the famous Zhang Zibu? I came to the State Shepherd's Mansion. Seeing you see this, so I asked."

"If that's the case, don't worry about it." Zhang Zhao said lightly.

In terms of official position, Zhang Zhao is much higher than Zhang Tu. He is an official under Mi Zhu's command. Although he is not an official with great power, he still has a certain status.

"Hmph, it's just an official under Mi Biejia's command. The Zhang family's good life is coming to an end. If you offend the Zhang family where I belong, do you still want to get out of your body?" Zhang Tu said triumphantly. .

Seeing Zhang Tu's appearance, Zhang Zhao felt disgusted for no reason. In the past, among Zhang Kai's family members, after seeing him, he hurried forward to salute him. All of this was because members of the Zhang family did not have enough status in the city. , even some little people dared to step forward to bully them.

"Really, if that's the case, I'll have to wait and see." Zhang Zhao snorted coldly.

Zhang Tu lowered his voice and said: "Your Zhang family is fighting against Marquis Wen, and it will be a matter of time before your family goes into decline. You might as well be obedient and avoid causing more trouble."

"Thank you for your concern." Zhang Zhao said in a flat tone. Compared with a small person like Zhang Tu, he didn't want to waste his words any more.

"Marquis Wen welcomes you." At this moment, the soldier who had just entered the notification, stepped forward and said loudly.

Zhang Tu was slightly taken aback. Seeing that the soldiers were talking to Zhang Zhao, he couldn't help raising his vigilance in secret. Although the Zhang family where Zhang Zhao belonged to had lost its previous status in the city, Lu Bu still attached great importance to Zhang Zhao. You can feel it in your words.

But behind this incident, there was the acquiescence of Xuzhou's high-level figures, and Zhang Tu was relieved a lot.

"Pleading with Marquis Wen, Zibu chose a good path." Zhang Tu sneered.

He still knows what kind of character Zhang Zhao is. It is very difficult for Zhang Zhao to cooperate with Lu Bu. Literati have their own pride. Otherwise, Zhang Zhao would not have been under house arrest by Tao Qian in the past. Xuzhou.

Zhang Zhao didn't look at the picture, and followed the soldiers into the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Zhang Tu snorted coldly in disdain. The Zhang family that Zhang Zhao belongs to has a profound heritage. It is not his family that can compare, but if he gets more benefits from the Zhang family, his family will be even stronger. Every floor, with the acquiescence of high-level figures, everything will become smoother.

Zhang Tu could even imagine that Zhang Zhao's family failed in this confrontation.

State Shepherd's Mansion, in the room where Lu Bu handles affairs.

Zhang Zhao stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "I have seen Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu nodded slightly, and turned his eyes to Zhang Zhao with a smile. It was not easy to get Zhang Zhao's support. Lu Bu had a deep understanding of this. When Zhang Zhao disobeyed him, he directly ordered Zhang Zhao to be taken out. The one who beheaded to show the public, now it seems that such a thing did not happen at the beginning, but he recruited a good talent for him.

"Xiaozhi is willing to do his best to assist the lord to achieve hegemony." Zhang Zhao saluted again.

The salute this time is more solemn than before. This is Zhang Zhao's salute to recognize the lord. Recognizing a monarch as the lord is the most important choice for civil servants and military generals. This means that he will leave this name on him in the future. The brand of the monarch, if you turn to other monarchs, it will have a great impact on your own reputation.

Under normal circumstances, literati will be more cautious. They will make a decision after conducting detailed observations in secret. Jia Xu also did the same after he was kidnapped by Lu Bu.

It's not that Jia Xu is not happy enough in this matter, but that some things must be done carefully.

Lu Bu enjoyed the comfort brought by Zhang Zhao's recognition of the Lord. Zhang Zhao was a well-known civil servant at the end of the Han Dynasty, and he was outstanding in internal affairs.

Good generals are hard to find, and so are outstanding talents in internal affairs.

"With Zibu's help, this Marquis will definitely achieve greater achievements." Lu Bu helped Zhang Zhao up.

Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and said, "Because of the lord's respect, I will do my best in this humble position."

Chapter 245 Was Appointed To Engage?

"The Marquis has appointed you as the officer in Xuzhou to be responsible for the correspondence between the counties and states in Xuzhou. I wonder if you have confidence?" Lu Bu said.

Zhang Zhao's heart moved. There are usually five people in a state. Among them, Zhizhong and Biejia are the most important. They are the main assistants of the prefect, and then Bo Cao, Bing Cao and Bujun Engagement, the department of the county is responsible for the documents of the county to which it belongs, and the county historians take turns.

"Take orders from a lowly position." Zhang Zhao cupped his hands. He knew that this was the beginning of Lu Bu's test of his ability, and after taking refuge in Lu Bu, he was able to receive such an important task, which was enough to show that Lu Bu attached great importance to him.

"After Zibu has made some preparations, he can go to the State Shepherd's Mansion to take over." Lu Bu nodded.

Zhang Zhao bowed his hands and said yes, from this moment on, he is an official under Lu Bu's command, and he will not betray Lu Bu unless necessary. In the past, he had many opinions on Lu Bu, and after he sincerely took refuge in him, Zhang Zhao He will do his best to do the things assigned by Lu Bu, which is also necessary for an official.

In his position to seek his own government, the Ministry of Commandery and State Engagement has a high status in Xuzhou, and belongs to the high-level officials in Xuzhou. In such a position, it is also a training of an official's ability.
