The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Page 293

At this time, they don't pay attention to their backgrounds. This is also the most different point between the Xuzhou army and the armies of other princes.

Lu Bu wanted to use this system to mobilize the fighting spirit of the lieutenant soldiers, so that when facing the enemy, the lieutenant soldiers would have no more fear, only a higher fighting spirit, and would not be afraid of life and death in war.

War is cruel to lieutenant soldiers, this is also a certain thing, if they cannot win in the war, the price that lieutenant soldiers will have to pay will be even greater.

As the commander-in-chief of the army, what Lu Bu needs to do at this time is to command the soldiers and do more in the war, making it difficult for the enemy's attack to play a corresponding role, and even making them pay the greatest price in the war.

Lu Bu helped Gao Shun up and said, "It's really not easy for General Gao to be stationed in Xiangxian County. On the way here, Benhou has already heard about the affairs of Xiangxian County. General Gao handled these matters in a proper way. Hou agrees very much."

Hearing Lu Bu's words of praise, Gao Shun's mood relaxed a lot. As Lu Bu's status became higher and higher, the generals who followed Lu Bu at first, although their status had also been improved, but in front of him When dealing with Lu Bu, he didn't dare to be more presumptuous.

Lu Bu's prestige in the army determines that even if the generals in the army have other small thoughts, it is impossible to use them in front of Lu Bu.

Chapter 787 The matter of Xu Chu's scout

Besides, the officers and men in the army also have their own ideas. Following Lu Bu, the military salary can be guaranteed. This kind of treatment is not available to the officers and men under the command of other princes. In this case, they are the people under Lu Bu's rule. , Why do you want to betray Lu Bu?

It should be known that such a betrayal is the most angry of the monarch, and it may involve the family behind them.

As long as Lu Bu appeared, the generals in the army would not dare to have much power, nor dare to show the slightest presumptuousness in front of Lu Bu. This is the embodiment of Lu Bu's prestige in the Xuzhou army.

Lv Bu's current power in the Xuzhou army is due to the victory of battle after battle. How many times in the face of difficult battles, Lv Bu was able to lead the lieutenants to victory. When the princes were least optimistic, got the win.

As if seeing Gao Shun's worry, Lu Bu patted Gao Shun's shoulder and said, "Some aristocratic families, even if they are related to some families in Xuzhou, don't dare to be presumptuous at this moment. At the critical time when our army is fighting against the enemy, as long as these families take any action, they will be eradicated directly, without the slightest appeasement."

"The subordinate understands." Gao Shun clasped his fists and said.

Having followed Lv Bu for many years, Gao Shun knew Lv Bu's character well. If he dared to offend Lv Bu, not to mention a wealthy family, even a prince would have a headache.

No enemy dared to ignore Lu Bu's formidable combat power when fighting against the enemy. This made them more cautious when facing Lu Bu, lest they suffer more losses in Lu Bu's hands.

As a powerful existence among the princes, Lu Bu has never been merciless when dealing with the enemy. He relied on his victories in battles to establish his position among the princes and let more princes understand that they want to How difficult it is to win from him.

The progress of the war is a great challenge to the princes, but in this war, Lu Bu will not have more fear. He has enough confidence in his own strength. When facing the enemy, even if the enemy The strength of the army is strong, and Lu Bu can also win from it.

Gao Shun was originally the general who followed Lu Bu. After he came to the army, many generals also had conversations with Gao Shun.

Different from other generals, Gao Shun gave people the impression that he was taciturn in ordinary times and rarely dealt with other generals.

After the tent became quiet, Lu Bu slowly said: "At present, our army is stationed in Xiang County, and the enemy army is stationed in Sui County. They will come at any time. The scouts in the army must step up their efforts to investigate the situation of the enemy army. , Zhong Kang will be in charge."

"Here." Xu Chu came out and said.

It will be easier for the cavalry to inquire about the enemy's situation on the battlefield, and the cavalry of the personal guard of Commander Xu Chu is the elite on the battlefield. Besides, Lu Bu is the commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and the help he can get when he sends Xu Chu to inquire about the enemy's situation It's also huge.

"The rest of the generals, who are in the army, must be vigilant. I don't want anything else to happen at this moment." Lu Bu said.

"Here." The lieutenant generals said in unison.

After the army arrives in Xiangxian County, it will definitely be stationed. According to Lu Bu's vision, some of the soldiers will stay outside the city and wait for the situation to change before making a decision, while most of the soldiers will be stationed in the city. In this case, Even in the face of the enemy's attack, it has the power to deal with it.

It has been quite a while since the last confrontation with Yuan Shu. Who can be sure that Yuan Shu will not make other progress in this process.

From the news sent by the scouts, it can be seen that Yuan Shu has made considerable progress in slowing down the cavalry. When the cavalry is equipped with stirrups, the combat power that can be displayed in battle will be even stronger.

Moreover, since the defeat in the last war, Yuan Shu paid more attention to the elite of the army when developing his troops.

The current battle is mobilizing the elite under his command. If he is not careful when handling the war, he might suffer in Yuan Shu's hands.

Facing the defeated generals of the past, one must still be cautious enough. As the commander-in-chief of the army, if even Lu Bu is not cautious when dealing with Yuan Shu, the generals in the army will definitely be greatly affected, and even There is a thought that Yuan Shu is nothing more than that.

If you face the enemy with this mentality, more problems will inevitably arise.

After agreeing on the arrangement of the army, the generals in the army immediately began to act.

Xiangxian County is the seat of Pei State, even if tens of thousands of troops enter it, it will not appear crowded, and the most central part of the city has been emptied for the army to station.

This was also prepared by Gao Shun in advance after receiving the order. The army is stationed in the most central position in the city. If other situations arise, the officers and men of the army can provide support at any time. Time is not so important.

If the war cannot be won, their identities as dignitaries will be lost. Before Gao Shun treated the families in the city, he had cruel behaviors, which also made the families in the city dare not treat Gao Shun with More disobedience, try to follow Gao Shun's orders as much as possible.

Seeing such a situation, Gao Shun also secretly despises him. The aristocratic and wealthy families usually behave so arrogantly, but when they encounter truly arrogant people, they will make corresponding concessions.

Those who bully the weak will inevitably have more fear in their hearts after seeing the powerful strength.

If these aristocratic families knew Gao Shun's thoughts, I don't know what kind of feelings they would have.

The aristocratic family is a very important existence under the rule of any monarch. Even the monarch attaches great importance to the opinions of the aristocratic family when doing things normally. However, this situation happened after Lu Bu’s rule. huge change.

It has become difficult for the aristocratic family to get more benefits from Lu Bu's hands. Even when facing Lu Bu, they have to constantly show weakness. Who will let Lu Bu, a powerful general, deal with the aristocratic family? No more hesitation yet.

When the monarch is too strong, these families will not be more presumptuous in front of the monarch, and they are also worried that the next move of the monarch will affect their family.

Especially when the monarch's strength is extremely powerful, the impact will obviously be greater.

Chapter 788 Yuan Shu's One Hundred Thousand Army

Moreover, Lu Bu is a proud generation. From the reactions of the Xuzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army in the face of the war this time, it can be seen that no matter how powerful the enemy's attack is, Lu Bu will not have the slightest fear. It is paying a greater price in the war, and it is not hesitating.

Such a monarch will make the families under his rule feel at ease, and it will also make them worry, because once the war fails, the impact will be too great. If they can't better deal with things after the war is over, they The family where you live will be doomed.

Of course, for the family that originally relied on Lu Bu, what they want to give Lu Bu at this time is more support, to help Lu Bu get out of this crisis, so that Lu Bu does not need to use more when facing the enemy. Worry about the rear.

In Xuzhou and Yanzhou, there are actually quite a few families who support Lu Bu.

If Lu Bu can defeat Yuan Shu in this battle, it will also increase Lu Bu's prestige in Yuzhou. Such things are inevitable.

Even though Lv Bu's reputation among the princes is not very good, but in Lv Bu's hands, he controls a powerful force. This aspect alone is enough to make more families have more respect when facing Lv Bu.

And when the strength of the monarch becomes stronger, it is also a lucky thing for the family under the rule. At least there is no need to worry that the monarch will not have the means to deal with the war.

From the previous wars, we can see what kind of attitude Lu Bu will have when facing the war.

Yuan Shu and Liu Biao are indeed powerful existences among the princes, but this time they met the fearless Lu Bu.

Yuan Shu has great influence in Yuzhou, and it is precisely because of this that Lu Bu unswervingly chose Yuzhou as the battlefield, so that more families in Yuzhou can see how powerful the Xuzhou army is on the battlefield. Strength, so that after the war is won, the Xuzhou army will attack the city of Yuzhou more smoothly.

When more people know the prestige of the Xuzhou Army, will they still have the intention to stick to the city when facing the Xuzhou Army?

This kind of situation is exactly what Lu Bu wants to see.

Besides, launching the war outside of Pengcheng will have many benefits for the stability and development of Xuzhou.

Pengcheng is the most important city in Xuzhou, and it is also the most prosperous city in Xuzhou at present. Thanks to Lu Bu's efforts, the development of Pengcheng has far surpassed the ordinary state government.

It's just that the arrival of the war has affected Pengcheng a lot. After Lu Bu wins the war technology, the development of Pengcheng will definitely be guaranteed accordingly, and even more businessmen will rush to Xuzhou.

When the power of the princes became stronger, more businessmen were convinced. When they did business under Lu Bu, they could enjoy fair treatment, which was not available under the rule of other princes.

Although other princes have gradually paid more attention to merchants, it is difficult for them to be fair when dealing with merchants, which will cause dissatisfaction among merchants. There must be opinions.

When doing business in Xuzhou, the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce was in charge, and the treatment that businessmen who entered the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce could enjoy was also very good.

This has created a great advantage for the business in Xuzhou, allowing more businessmen to know Xuzhou's achievements in business, and making more businessmen willing to do business in Xuzhou.

Other princes valued merchants in order to obtain more benefits from them, and even used all means to obtain benefits. Lu Bu attached importance to merchants because he wanted to obtain benefits from merchants, but it was just a means to obtain benefits. Make businessmen happy too.

Affected by the current war, Pengcheng's business is becoming more and more depressed.

In Pengcheng, there are many businessmen living there. Many of these businessmen are from other states and counties. They live in Pengcheng not only for the convenience of doing business, but also because of the safety of Pengcheng.

Living in Pengcheng will make these merchants feel more at ease. Who makes the security situation under Lu Bu's rule good? Even when things like thieves and bandits appeared under his rule, Lu Bu would not have the slightest condolence.

If you want to gain more benefits from the war, you must have sufficient means to deal with the war.

Lu Bu will not have more fear in the face of war, but anyone who is familiar with Lu Bu will know how terrifying the fighting power of the Xuzhou Army will be on the battlefield.

The large-scale arrival of the Xuzhou Army showed Lu Bu's determination. This time, Lu Bu would not yield to Yuan Shu's attack, and would even make greater achievements on the road against Yuan Shu.

Lu Bu made such a choice, and it was expected by the other princes. Since Lu Bu appeared in the ranks of the princes, he gave people the feeling of being fierce, the kind who would not bow his head no matter how many difficulties he faced .

Although the combination of Liu Biao and Yuan Shu will pose a great threat to Lu Bu, but in the hands of Lu Bu, there is still a lot of troops. Besides, this time it is Yuan Shu and Liu Biao who took the initiative to launch an attack, wanting to break through Xuzhou Army and Yanzhou It is conceivable how many difficulties there will be in the city guarded by the army.

In Sui County, the army under Yuan Shu's command had already gathered at this time, there were soldiers in the army inside and outside the city, a [-] army could be described as mighty.

Standing on the top of the city, looking at the soldiers and horses outside the city, Yuan Shu's heart was full of pride. He had experienced defeat in the war at the hands of Lu Bu before, and was even ashamed in front of the princes. Such a thing was a great deal for Yuan Shu Shame, now is the time to wash away the shame.

As long as Lu Bu can be defeated this time, it will not only wash away the shame, but also have a better reputation and greater influence among the princes.

The secrets of the Xuzhou craftsman's workshop have touched the hearts of many princes. If Xuzhou can be broken, these secrets will fall into Yuan Shu's control. When the other princes face Yuan Shu, how can they not have more? Request, together with Yuan Shu's influence among the princes, will be further enhanced.

This kind of situation is naturally what Yuan Shu wants to see, but judging from the current situation, Lu Bu did not give up lightly when facing the war.

Chapter 789

He even personally commanded the army to fight. Lu Bu is a powerful existence among the princes, especially in leading troops in battle. If he is not careful when dealing with Lu Bu, what will happen in the war? It is also unpredictable.

Since Lu Bu's rise among the princes, he has given people the feeling of being fierce. No matter what kind of enemy he faces, Lu Bu can deal with it.

The progress of the war must have had a certain impact on Lu Bu, but Lu Bu's attitude when facing these wars is also very clear, and he doesn't even want the war to continue to Xuzhou.

Yuzhou was originally under the rule of Yuan Shu. If a war started in Yuzhou, it would be a good protection for Xuzhou.

Xuzhou's army took the initiative to fight, which showed that Lu Bu had enough confidence in this confrontation. Even if he encountered Yuan Shu's army on the battlefield, he would not have the slightest fear.

"My lord, the Xuzhou army has mobilized 5000 people and has arrived in Xiangxian County. The families in the city have also cut off our contact." Yang Hong said in a low voice.

Yuan Shu nodded slightly and said, "Lv Bu has always been on guard against aristocratic and powerful families. Besides, Lv Bu has already arrived in Xiangxian County. Even if the families in the city want to do other things, they dare not. Lv Bu is not Gao Shun. There are many means, if these families are not careful, they will fall into the hands of Lu Bu, which is the biggest loss for this general."

Yang Hong cupped his hands and said, "My lord is wise."

"I heard that the scouts of our army have already fought against the scouts of the enemy army. I wonder how much the losses of both sides are?" Yuan Shu asked with a smile.

In order to get the secret of the cavalry from the hands of the Huns, Yuan Shu paid a lot of money. Now in this battle, Yuan Shu has high hopes for the cavalry under his command. If the cavalry in the army is fighting against the enemy, they can If there is a better performance, it will lay a good foundation for the army to win.

Lu Bu's greatest reliance was the strength of the elite cavalry. If even the elite cavalry could not do more on the battlefield, it would be the biggest blow to Lu Bu.

In fact, Yuan Shu also had a lot of admiration for Lu Bu. Being able to create such a situation in a troubled world is enough to see that Lu Bu's methods are extraordinary. Besides, Lu Bu did these things as a general.

Looking at the generals in the world, except for Lu Bu, can other generals do this?

Gongsun Zan is also a general, but Gongsun Zan is only the prefect of Youbeiping. Compared with Lu Bu, there is a big gap in the number of cities under his control.

Now is the time when the princes are fighting, and the number of cities under the princes' rule affects the strength of the princes.

Besides, even if Gongsun Zan has an elite army under his command and can win the battle against the Jizhou army, what should Gongsun Zan do once the war lasts for a long time?

Putting it on Lu Bu is different. At this time, Yuan Shu is probably the least afraid of protracted war. While Yanzhou and Xuzhou are developing, Lu Bu is secretly hoarding a large amount of food, grass and luggage in order to deal with the war. Time to worry no more.

Such things are no longer a secret among the princes.

Xuzhou's rapid development has strengthened Yuan Shu's determination to attack Lu Bu. If Lu Bu is allowed to continue like this, the impact will be too great. As a prince, Yuan Shu must consider these things more.

Although there are unsightly means in uniting other princes to attack Xuzhou, for one of the princes, as long as they can win, even if there are unsightly means, it doesn't matter.

If the war is won, who would discuss Yuan Shu with this matter.

The confrontation between princes is full of dangers and changes. If the princes do not have flexible means and strong strength when dealing with these things, it will be even more difficult for them to do more in troubled times. difficulty.

It is good that Lu Bu is a powerful existence among the princes, but in this confrontation, it is actually too difficult to win the victory on the battlefield with only the strength of Xuzhou Army and Yanzhou Army. Failure to win this confrontation will bring even greater turmoil to Xuzhou and Yanzhou.

Yang Hong's expression was not very good-looking, "My lord, the scouts of the Xuzhou army are extremely ferocious, and our army's scouts have lost more than [-] people so far."

"More than thirty people?" Yuan Shu's eyes tightened. "How much did the scouts of the Xuzhou Army lose?"

Yang Hong hesitated and said, "There are only five people at most."

"What?" Yuan Shu's voice suddenly became deep. Yuan Shu went to check on the cavalry in the army during normal training. Yuan Shu was quite satisfied with the combat effectiveness of the cavalry. With even greater achievements, I didn't expect that after encountering the cavalry of the Xuzhou Army, the gap in casualties between the two sides would be so large.

It should be noted that the combat effectiveness of the cavalry on the battlefield is not much different. Before that, the cavalry in Xuzhou was equipped with stirrups, so they could do more on the battlefield.

Now the cavalry under Yuan Shu's command is also equipped with stirrups. Why didn't they gain more when fighting against the Xuzhou cavalry? Such a thing made Yuan Shu's heart restless.

"Xuzhou's cavalry scouts are extremely elite. It is estimated that Lu Bu selected the most elite part from the cavalry." Yang Hong said.

In fact, when he knew the loss of the scouts, Yang Hong also had a lot of worries in his heart. The loss of more than 30 cavalrymen was naturally nothing. What a powerful fighting force on the battlefield.

When the enemy's cavalry becomes stronger, it will definitely have a major impact on the situation on the battlefield. If they are not cautious enough when dealing with these matters, more problems may arise.

It should be known that Yuan Shu has made a lot of preparations for this war. If the war cannot be won, it will be the biggest nightmare for Yuan Shu.
