Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 40: Inspiring the World

In addition to leaving Zhang Xiu in Hetao to serve as the captain of the Huns, Lu Bu also set rules for the tribal leaders. Otherwise, it will be jointly suppressed by the Hunnu Xiaowei Department and various tribes.

This was the last condition Lu Bu left behind, and it should have been the most repulsive to these tribal leaders, but after a series of intimidation, suppression, and win-win before, when this condition was finally raised, although most people chose to remain silent, at least they did not be opposed to.

"Just follow this rule, and if necessary, you can show them your power!" Lu Bu called Zhang Xiu to his side before leaving a group of tribal leaders with serious expressions, and said in a deep voice.

For the ministries on the grassland, grace cannot be too much, but prestige must be enough.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will understand in the end!" Zhang Xiu nodded. He had been familiar with this method since he was a child, and he was no stranger to it.

"In addition, when the court needs it, Hetao must be able to bring 30,000 cavalry to the court!" This can be regarded as Lu Bu's assessment of Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu is also qualified, and can be recalled to his side for great use.

The Hun Hun captain has great power. If left for a long time, it will breed not only corruption, but also ambition. Therefore, it must be replaced frequently, otherwise it will be easy to get overwhelmed.

Even if some of the court's control over this place is reduced, people cannot absolutely control this place, which means that a new prince will be born in Lu Bu's hands.

"Here!" Seeing Lu Bu's serious expression, Zhang Xiu knew that this matter was serious, so he nodded in agreement.

For the rest, there is nothing to explain. The seal and ribbon of the guard of the Xiongnu school lieutenant was taken from the court before the expedition. The only thing that is not sure is the question of candidates. Should Zhang Xiu stay in Hetao or should Hua Xiong stay? In the Loop.

In the end, Zhang Xiu was chosen because it was more suitable. Compared with Hua Xiong, Zhang Xiu was more stable and suitable for guarding one side. It is inevitable that people have to wonder whether Lu Bu has other actions.

And there is another disadvantage of being famous, which is that it is easy to be seen through. After all, not everyone has a life simulator, so most people's behavior habits can be seen from his fighting style.

But Hua Xiong has a bold personality, acts fiercely, and is easy to be calculated by others. Changing to Zhang Xiu is different. Zhang Xiu has basically no reputation, including people from Chang'an who mention Zhang Xiu. They don’t know much. Even if they know, they have more impressions. He is also Zhang Ji's nephew. Such a person will not attract too much attention if he is placed in Hetao. If others want to plot against him, they have to understand him from the beginning. It will help Lu Bu win Bingzhou and Hedong in the future.

Don't look at Lu Bu's method of taking Hetao with extreme ferocity. Once the fierce power came out, the chiefs of Hetao's tribes could only come over obediently.

But for long-term governance, you can't just rely on prestige, which is one of the reasons why Zhang Xiu was chosen. This kid is honest and not stupid at the same time, and his ability is even more outstanding, enough to subdue all the tribes in Hetao. He is the kind of character that people are willing to make friends with.

Lu Bu stayed in Jiuyuan for another three days, and after three days, he set off for Chang'an.

From dispatching troops to destroying Meiji, and then chasing and killing the Xiongnu for thousands of miles, even though it was already very fast, it took two months before and after. By the time I returned to Chang'an, it was already mid-February, and the weather in Chang'an had already warmed up. .

When Hu Chuquan was brought to the hall by Lu Bu to plead guilty to Liu Xie, the courtiers realized that the general who took Hetao was actually Lu Bu. They really didn't feel that Lu Bu left at all, as if they would see him in a corner of the street at any time .

The Xiongnu Shanyu personally came to Chang'an to plead guilty, and then lead him to death. This was a matter of great prestige, but for the people of Chang'an, it seemed that he didn't have much feeling. After all, Yuan Shu was subdued by Lu Bu. Isn't it right that a mere Xiongnu Shanyu should be cleaned up?

What's all the fuss about? On the other hand, on the day when Hu Chuquan was beheaded in public, many people came to watch. After all, it is rare for the Xiongnu Shanyu to be beheaded on the streets of Chang'an. Second appearance.

Well, it seems that there is no difference between them and normal people. After all, even people like Lu Bu are just a little taller and stronger than normal people. It's not as special as the group of new craftsmen under Ma Jun's hands.

However, the Xiongnu incident did not cause any splashes in Chang'an or even Guanzhong, but in the Central Plains, it made many people change their faces.

In Juancheng, Cheng Yu came back in a hurry and saw Cao Cao holding a bamboo slip and looking at it. Beside him, Xun Yu was also looking at a bamboo slip. When he saw Cheng Yu coming in, Xun Yu smiled and signaled.

"My lord, in two months' time, food and grass should be ready." Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao.

During this period of time, Cao Cao was busy confronting Tao Qian. The reason was that last year Cao Cao’s father, Cao Song, was killed by Tao Qian’s subordinates on his way back to his hometown. The blame was naturally placed on Tao Qian, and Cao Cao himself After winning Yanzhou, it really needs to continue to expand, and Xuzhou naturally became the target.

After attacking Tancheng last year, it was difficult to attack again. There was not enough food and grass, so they had to retreat. In order to facilitate the next year's attack, Cao Cao ordered the massacre of more than ten cities.

But now, Cao Cao wanted to continue attacking Xuzhou, so raising food and grass was naturally a top priority, and Cheng Yu was in charge of it.

"Yes." Cao Cao also put down the bamboo slips, and nodded worriedly.

"My lord seems to be worried?" Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao curiously.

"Not bad!" Cao Cao nodded, looked at Cheng Yu and said, "Gongtai... still doesn't want to be an official again?"

Cheng Yu shook his head with a wry smile, Cao Cao... could only smile wryly.

Last year was not only troublesome in Guanzhong, but also happened frequently on Cao Cao's side. Many things happened, two of which had the greatest impact. One was that Cao Song was killed on the road, which also became the fuse of the war between Cao Cao and Tao Qian. The other thing is that because of Cao Cao's killing of the frontier, the most direct impact was that Chen Gong resigned directly. Under Cao Cao's rule, there was hidden instability. Afraid of changes behind.

Sometimes Cao Cao really wanted to follow Lu Bu's example and kill all the scholars who got in the way.

But this matter can only be thought about, Cao Cao is different from Lv Bu, Lv Bu inherited Dong Zhuo's power, and there are some people under him who can be used by Lv Bu, such as Jia Xu, such as Li Ru, not to mention a large number of Xiliang generals.

Secondly, there is a conflict between Xiliang and the Guanzhong gentry, or as a group of people at the lowest end of the scorn chain, the Xiliang literati have an inherent lack of sense of belonging to the gentry, so they were pried by Lu Bu and became the basis for Lu Bu to govern Guanzhong.

In the end, Lu Bu had the Son of Heaven in his hands, and he was able to issue orders to the world in the name of the Son of Heaven, but Cao Cao did not have these. His starting point may not be lower than that of Lu Bu, but in terms of attitude towards the gentry, Cao Cao was born with no way to be like Lu Bu. With such stubbornness, not one out of ten Guanzhong scholars were killed directly, and the Guanzhong scholars who were killed were begging to do things for Lu Bu. Cao Cao also wanted to use this method of standing up and begging for talents, but unfortunately he couldn't do it for the time being.

He doesn't have the confidence of Lu Bu.

"My lord hasn't said what you're worried about?" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xun Yu hurriedly changed the topic and said with a smile.

"The court heard that Lu Bu attacked the Xiongnu at the end of last year, attacked Meiji on a snowy night, chased and killed them thousands of miles later, and killed most of the Xiongnu tribe by Lu Bu. Yu, it's actually a great thing." Cao Cao handed the bamboo slips to Xun Yu.

In order to demonstrate majesty, every time the imperial court wins a battle, it will send a letter to the world, which is also to brush up the presence of the imperial court and Lu Bu to the world.

It's not too surprising that Lu Bu achieved such a record. After all, everyone was imprisoned by Lu Bu. Thousands of soldiers and horses almost killed an army of 100,000 princes. It is actually quite normal to beat the Xiongnu like this. .

But why fight?

Everyone was puzzled. With Lu Bu's current prestige, it is actually best not to move lightly, so as not to destroy his myth of invincibility. Moreover, looking at Lu Bu's past actions, it seems reckless, but in fact every step has a clear purpose, but this Hun Although it was nominally because the Xiongnu Shanyu sent someone to assassinate the emperor, which really deserved to be killed, it was not to the point where Lu Bu himself was required to take action.

Judging from Lu Bu's past actions, he is not a person who likes to compete with his subordinates. Why did he go to this matter himself?

"This matter..." After Cheng Yu frowned for a moment, he suddenly found a map, spread it out and looked at it for a while, then knocked on the table and said, "There is indeed something strange!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu upon hearing the words, "What does Zhong De mean by that?"

"Look, my lord!" Cheng Yu hung up the map, circled it with a pen and said, "The Xiongnu have been quite rampant in recent years. Xihe County, Shangjun, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and Wuyuan were all occupied by them in actual battles. Lu Bu The defeat of the Xiongnu in this battle also means that the five counties have fallen into Lu Bu's control?"

Cao Cao looked at the map and then at the bamboo slips: "It's not mentioned in the imperial edict, but it should be so."

"No!" Cheng Yu pointed to the five counties and said, "Yu can be sure that Lu Buding did not occupy the land of the five counties."

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu when he heard the words: "Where do you start with this?"

"Although it is known as the five counties, the big man has lost it for many years, and the land of the five counties does not have too many people. In my opinion, Lu Bu will move the population of the five counties at most, but will not move the land of the five counties!" Cheng Yu laughed.

Cao Cao looked at the map for a long time, then nodded slightly. He understood what Cheng Yu said: "It is precisely because of this that this Lu Bu is even more terrifying!"

It would be fine if Lu Bu was just as brutal as Dong Zhuo, but in fact, Lu Bu is crueler than Dong Zhuo, and killing scholars is as easy as Cao Cao massacring a city, but he did not kill casually. There are various signs that, Lu Bu is quite strategic, and if he is not careful, he will fall into the trap.

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu, smiled wryly and shook his head: This world...is too difficult!
