Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 160: Preparations for Nanyang

Threats to your life, it turns out, can solve a lot of things.

There are so many voluntary things in the world. Lu Bu has a clear understanding of his own position. He is very clear that it is impossible for a child of a big family like the Xun family to serve him sincerely. It was impossible to let him go so that he would become a threat to himself in the future.

This seems to be a dilemma. With Lu Bu's experience and ability, he can't think of a solution to the problem, which can make Xun You sincerely serve him, and doesn't need to destroy the frame to cater to the big family.

But this dilemma is not a problem for Lu Bu, so why must he be the one who is in trouble? Since you can't solve it yourself, let others solve it. The problem will be simplified. How to choose between life and death?

If you can find the law of both, you will live, if you can't find it, you will die.

And Xun You obviously couldn't find it, or the answer to this question has always been there. They are not allowed to make compromises with Lu Bu.

As for Lü Bu's system, Xun You knew a little bit about it, and if there were any behind-the-scenes, he was declaring war on the aristocratic family. Even if Lv Bu was willing to back down, the aristocratic family would not accept it.

It would be great if Lu Bu was a little stupid, or couldn't see the essence of this matter clearly, or be like Dong Zhuo.

It's a pity that Lu Bu is not Dong Zhuo, he has a clearer goal and self-positioning than Dong Zhuo.

No matter how capable Xun You is, he can't think of a solution to this unsolvable contradiction.

As for the three-year agreement, although it is for self-protection, it is not all nonsense. Now that the two Yuans in the Central Plains are fighting for the front, and Guanzhong Lv Bu brings the emperor to make the princes, hold the righteous name, and at the same time quite a few It means that in three years, Lu Bu's land tax reform should have achieved initial results, and even if the world structure is uncertain, there will be some clues.

It should be much easier to make a choice when the time comes.

For Lu Bu, Xun You should be regarded as a pleasant surprise, but the matter is not over here. The premise for Lu Bu to keep Xun You is that it can be used. He has shown his sincerity, although not everyone can accept this sincerity, but Next, Xun You needs to show himself the value of the other party.

For Xun You, this is undoubtedly a difficult test. Not only must he show his own value, but he must also prevent Lu Bu from killing him. It is really scary for a person who is both civil and military and does not like to play cards according to common sense. God can give me a chance to choose again. Xun You will not even provoke Dong Zhuo, and he can run as far as he can. These days... are too difficult.

However, no matter how hard the days are, they will be lived after all. Lu Bu has an extra staff member by his side.

Although the phalanx for attacking Nanyang has been set, but this time the matter is to be announced to the world, so this matter has to be discussed in the court.

"Marquis Wen, it is certainly wrong for Yuan Shu to detain the court envoy, but it would be too much to directly launch an army to punish Yuan Shu." In the court hall, Chunyu Jia heard that Yuan Shu was going to be punished. Although he knew what he said was useless, he couldn't help persuading him: "Furthermore, Yuan Shu is the fourth generation and third prince. Now he dominates the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River, and his momentum is overwhelming. Guanzhong has experienced disasters at the beginning, and it is time to recuperate. If you send troops at this time, you will lose more than you will win!"

Obviously, many people were not optimistic about Lv Bu's dispatch of troops this time. Yuan Shu was considered the number one lord in the world in terms of strength, and had enough soldiers and food in his tent. It was a bit too eager for quick success and instant benefits for Lv Bu to follow Yuan Shu's minions as soon as he stabilized Guanzhong.

"Mr. Situ, all the ministers!" Lu Bu looked around the crowd and said, "Yuan Shu's detaining the court envoy today is to shame the court. If the court is indifferent, what will Yuan Gonglu do next time? Will he become king on his own? What if then?"

Regarding Yuan Shu's detainment of Ma Rixun, in fact, many people in the court were indignant, but Yuan Shu was powerful, and when Lu Bu said that he wanted to fight Yuan Shu, everyone's first reaction was that he couldn't beat him!

It would have been good if Yuan Shu didn't come to fight through the customs. At this moment, Lu Bu dared to provoke Yuan Shu. Although the reason for sending troops was correct, it would give people a feeling of being in the middle of a mantis.

"What Wen Hou said is reasonable. Yuan Gonglu openly detained the imperial envoys, which is a heinous crime. Situ Gong, since Wen Hou has such confidence, there must be a basis for it, and now the Guanzhong soldiers are also elite, and Yuan Shu has lost his righteousness. The battle must be defeated." Seeing that Chunyu Jia still wanted to speak, Yang Biao immediately stopped him.

This battle was just enough for Yuan Shu to get rid of Lu Bu, and even if he couldn't, it could still hurt Lu Bu. At that time, there would naturally be a lot of dissatisfaction in Guanzhong, and Lu Bu's short political game would be over.

Although Chunyujia's stop was public-minded, it was too pedantic. Lü Bu wanted to fight, so let him fight. Regardless of whether Lv Bu wins or loses, the ministers of the court will benefit.

Of course, at this moment, including Yang Biao, no one thinks that Lu Bu can win.

This is different from the battle at Hulao Pass back then. Lu Bu was the attacker, and Yuan Shao had many generals. Even if Lu Bu could fight, how many people could he fight?

Chunyu Jia sighed and said no more.

Lu Bu took into account the reaction of the officials in the court, but he didn't pay any attention to it. The purpose of going to the court today was to formally announce the crusade against Yuan Shu. People belonging to Lu Bu's lineage in the court had already received the news, so they would not object.

As for the reaction of the ministers, neither public nor private are likely to object to this matter. On the contrary, it was Chunyu Jia's performance that surprised Lu Bu. Here, but the cost of wooing is too high, Lu Bu will not woo, he will woo some with high ability and low status.

Now that the decision to send troops has been made, the next step is to tell the world and gather troops to go to Nanyang. This is the first battle since Lu Bu took charge of the court. Not only must he win, but he must also win beautifully.

The troops Lu Bu mobilized this time are not insufficient. In addition to Gao Shun's troops, Zhang Ji, Li Meng, Fan Chou and Hua Xiong were all mobilized by Lu Bu. , Lu Bu raised an army of 50,000.

Although Guanzhong has an army of 100,000, Lu Bu's various government orders are enforced by the army. Before it becomes a habit, the garrison in Guanzhong should not be too small, and there are still troops stationed in various passes. The 50,000 army is already Lu Bu. The limit that can be mobilized now.

In addition to the four generals Zhang Ji, Li Meng, Fan Chou, and Gao Shun, Jiang Xu, Jiang Jiong, Yin Feng, Liang Kuan, Zhao Ang, and the Xiliang general Pang De who had surrendered in Xiliang were also accompanying the army. And Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu.

"My lord, why is there no me!?" The arrangement has been made, and the imperial edict has been sent to various places. After finishing all these things, when Xu Rong was summoned to discuss the matter, Hua Xiong came in from the door, looking at Lu Bu with some resentment.

The two have cooperated very well before, why did they let themselves stay behind in Guanzhong this time?

"Guanzhong is more dangerous than the front line." Lu Bu let Hua Xiong sit down and said, "Why do you think the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty didn't stop this dispatch of troops?"

"They?" Hua Xiong snorted coldly with disdain: "They have already been killed to death!"

"As soon as I leave, Guanzhong will be empty. Someone will attack secretly and disrupt my government orders. Nanyang must be attacked, but Guanzhong must be guarded by reliable people. Brother Xu has strategized and can coordinate the overall situation. You have fought for many years and can frighten everyone. With the two of you here, I have nothing to worry about, let me ask you, besides the two of you, who can stay in Guanzhong so that I can rest assured?" Lu Bu looked at Hua Xiong and asked.

"This..." Hua Xiong groped his chin, looked at Dian Wei, and then shook his head. Although Dian Wei was loyal, he was only a brave man. Besides, although Gao Shun was powerful, he had never seen him lead a large army. , is a military trainer, and Zhang Liaoyuan is in Xiliang, so no one can do it except Xu Rong and himself!

Thinking of this, Hua Xiong sighed slightly, although he really wanted to follow Lu Bu to the battle, but the rear was indeed equally important, so he could only nod his head and said: "Don't worry, my lord, but there will be a day when the end will come, so it must not be called a loss in Guanzhong."

"Hua Xiong, what did you mean by looking at me just now?" Dian Wei glared at Hua Xiong, always feeling that the look he gave him just now implied a deep meaning, and he was a little uncomfortable.

"You don't need to know, just protect the lord." Hua Xiong glanced at him again, shook his head and sighed, sometimes, incompetence is also a kind of happiness~

Dian Wei looked at Hua Xiong shaking his head, and couldn't explain why, but suddenly wanted to hit him!

"It's roughly like this. The situation in Guanzhong, and Brother Lao Xu, you have to worry a lot. If you have any doubts, you can go to ask the servant Jia Xu, but this person doesn't like to appear in front of others. If you want to ask him, you'd better go secretly. "Lv Bu ignored the two treasures. He couldn't really hand over the safety of Guanzhong to Hua Xiong. Xu Rong was the person Lv Bu most recognized to stay behind, including helping Lv Bu raise food and grass.

In fact, if Lu Bu does not go to this battle of Nanyang, Xu Rong is the most suitable to be in command. But this is the first battle after Lu Bu took power, and he wants to make a name for himself in front of the princes of the world. This battle must come in person Fighting is the way to go, so Xu Rong can only help him sit in Chang'an, and at the same time prevent the Guanzhong gentry from uniting with the court officials to attack.

"My lord, don't worry, I will live up to my lord's trust in the end." Xu Rong bowed to Lu Bu.

"If it is really impossible to defend, the family members of the lieutenant officers and soldiers will escort them out of the city, find a place to defend, and wait for me to come back!" Lu Bu looked at Xu Rong and said seriously.

Prepare for the worst in everything, even if you lose, it is within your own tolerance.

"Such a thing will definitely not happen!" Xu Rong said solemnly with a serious face.

"If you don't count your victory, you count your defeat first, so you can be invincible. It's always good to be fully prepared!" Lu Bu got up and smiled at Xu Rong: "Perhaps this battle in Chang'an will be better than that of Nanyang." The battle is more exciting."

Xu Rongsu made a salute: "Don't worry, my lord, the general is willing to die for my lord!"

"They're all alive!" Lu Bu shook his head, "What's the use of dead people? I want living people! Guanzhong... please!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Bu took out his seal and solemnly handed it over to Xu Rong...
