Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 233 The Kanto Change

Lu Bu returned to Vulcan Village first. It has been more than two years since he entered Hanzhong. Because of the incident in southern Xinjiang, it was a little later than expected. Lu Bu planned to rush back to the Central Plains as soon as possible, but The letter sent from Chengdu made Lu Bu's face darken.

"The Kanto has been united!?" Lu Bu frowned as he looked at the letter from Chengdu.

From Chang'an to Nanzhong, it took two or three months just to deliver the letter, and it may have taken longer for this to happen.

"Pass my military order to Zhang Liao and Gan Ning to lead the army back to Chengdu, and the Guanzhong soldiers stationed in Shu County to leave for Chang'an immediately!" Lu Bu quickly wrote down the military order, and at the same time asked someone to call in a messenger to send his letter back.

It was the beginning of the fifth year of Xingping when Lu Bu conquered Shu, and now it is the summer of the seventh year of Xingping. He spent more than two years in Shu. In the beginning, no one really knew about it. Even when Lu Bu captured Chengdu, no one in Chang'an noticed. .

But there are people here in Shu who know.

Although Zhang Song left Shu with his front foot, Bashu was captured by Lu Bu's back foot like a leaf, but the news spread.

As for Chang'an, with the relocation of a large number of gentry from central Shu, the attack on Shu could not be concealed. Immediately afterwards, Lu Bu did not return to the court immediately, but conquered the Southern Man, which made some people's hearts start to move.

However, Li Ru, Guo Jia, and Xun You were worried at home in the court, and Xu Rong held military power outside, so naturally no one could make trouble. However, after the Kwantung princes heard the news of Lu Bu's attack on Shu, they had another thought.

In fact, the reaction of the Guanzhong princes at the beginning was similar to what Lu Bu expected. Cao Cao became a natural barrier for Lu Bu. No matter whether Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu or Liu Bei wanted to attack Lu Bu, they had to pass through Cao Cao.

Not to mention that Liu Bei and Sun Ce have accepted Lu Bu's canonization, even if they hadn't, Cao Cao would not have allowed them to leave their territory. Who knows if it was a fake way to destroy Guo? At the same time, Cao Cao has always regarded Xuzhou as his own, but Liu Bei took advantage of it, so he has not moved.

Yuan Shao has been busy digesting the fruits of defeating Gongsun Zan for the past two years. Now Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou have all been collected by him. With Yuan Shu's decline, Yuan Shao has actually become the new No. 1 prince in the world.

But the news of Lu Bu's attack on Shu broke this fragile balance.

The time goes back to the time when Zhang Song left Shu.

If you want to solve the predicament in Shu, the fastest aid is naturally Jingzhou.

"Lv Bu's attack on Shu?" Liu Biao, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and others gathered together to discuss this matter. When they heard the news of Lv Bu's attack on Shu, everyone was a little shocked.

"Brother Ziqiao, as far as I know, the road to Shu is difficult. If Lu Bu sent out troops in such a large scale, there should be no news for such a long time. It must be that there are not many troops. If so, how did he break through the obstacles and enter Shu? Kuai Yue looked at Zhang Song, a little in disbelief that Lu Bu could invade Shu so quickly.

"Does Zhang Lu know about Zhang Lu?" Zhang Song looked at Kuai Yue and asked back.

"Of course I know..." Kuai Yue nodded. The affair between Zhang Lu's mother and Liu Yan was not a secret. Liu Zhang later killed Zhang Lu's mother, and Zhang Lu also knew about it. He frowned and said, "So Come on, did Lu Bu enter Hanzhong without spending a single soldier?"

Zhang Song nodded and said: "Furthermore, the Hanzhong army did what they got, and my lord took the throne not long ago, the army's morale was not stable, and he lost the Baishui and Jiameng passes in a row, let Lu Bu lead the army to Mianzhu pass, but brother Yidu don't worry. , Mianzhuguan is dangerous and solid, you should have heard about it, plus Chengdu has enough soldiers and food, Lu Bu will invade Shu, as long as Chengdu is united and fights to the death, it will not be a problem to stick to it for a year or two, as long as the Kwantung princes can work together to attack Why don't you worry about Lu Bu being undefeated?"

Kuai Yue nodded, Lu Bu sent troops to attack Shu, this is indeed the best time to eliminate Lu Bu.

"My lord, Lu Bu's ambition is to usurp the Han. If he is allowed to take the middle of Shu and go down the river in the future, our Jingzhou will be attacked by Lu Bu from the north and the south. As long as Lu Bu makes a move, Jingzhou will be in danger!" Kuai Yue looked at To Liu Biao, said in a deep voice.

Liu Biao looked at the map. Nanyang had been occupied by Lu Bu all along. Gao Shun repulsed him several times when he wanted to take it back. Compared with Shu, he wanted to take Nanyang back.

Not only because Nanyang was the former station of Jingzhou, but more importantly, Lu Bu suppressed the misery of the Nanyang gentry. Now that the people of Nanyang have been moved to Guanzhong by Lu Bu, there are only a group of gentry and gentry left. With no population, they can only find ways to attract refugees , As a result, the refugees recruited directly entered the household registration, and they can be employed if they want to, but the family's fields can only be rented, which is really just a little bit. On the other side, the local nobles were overwhelmed.

It is even more difficult for no one in the family to be an official, so even if Lu Bu is rejected, he has to work for Lu Bu, just for a little tax relief.

This should be put in the past, who made it?

But now, even if these aristocratic families want to use these tenant farmers as private soldiers, the tenant farmers will not listen to them. If you dare to embezzle my food, I will go directly to the government office and sue you. I can support myself by my own labor. Going to rebel with you with your head up?

Over the past few years, although the nobles are still powerful, they have almost no influence in Nanyang.

If I can win Nanyang at this time, not only will the gentry tyrants welcome me, but more importantly, I can get the real power in Nanyang, instead of having to constantly use means among the gentry tyrants to preserve my real power like in Jingzhou .

Although this is actually the norm, as a prince, no one does not envy the state under Lu Bu's rule. Everyone envies the feeling that they don't have to compromise with the power of scholars. Unfortunately, not everyone can be like Lu Bu, or even be able to Lu Bu was the only one who did this, and everyone else died whoever did it.

Now the scholars in the world are not only resisting Lu Bu, they are also wary of these princes, whoever has this sign will immediately counterattack. Before Yuan Shao had a tendency to suppress the gentry, but in the end it was nothing.

If he could get Nanyang, Liu Biao would be happier than taking Shu. Even though Nanyang is not as populous as it was back then, it is a place that he can completely control.

Nodding silently, Liu Biao agreed with Kuai Yue's statement. Lu Bu had already shown impressive strength when he was only in Xiliang. The forces under Yuan Shao's rule.

Judging from the terrain, Lu Bu occupies areas that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, he holds the righteousness of the Son of Heaven in his hands, and Yuan Shao may not be able to gain the upper hand in a fight with him.

Although Lv Bu now has the land of Shu, this is indeed the best time to completely exterminate Lv Bu.

It would be best to take Nanyang first, and then take Shu. As for Guanzhong, Liu Biao didn't think about it for the time being. He couldn't eat it, and the other princes couldn't let him eat it.

"But Lu Bu is brave and good at fighting, everyone should know how powerful he is. If we rely only on my Jingzhou family, it may be difficult to accomplish anything!" Liu Biao looked at the crowd and said, "And everyone, don't forget that Jiangdong Sun Ce has attacked me in Jingzhou several times. So what if Sun Ce takes advantage of this opportunity to attack Lu Bu when he attacks Lu Bu with all his strength?"

Sun Ce or in other words, there is no good person in the entire Sun family. Thinking back to Sun Jian, killing Jingzhou governor Wang Rui was definitely a public revenge, and then led the army to Nanyang. Nanyang prefect Zhang Zi treated Sun Jian very politely. He was chopped off, although Sun Jian is good at fighting, but in terms of character, Sun Jian is really not good.

Later, he died at the hands of Lu Bu, which was also retribution.

His son, Sun Ce, also used domineering means to dominate Jiangdong. Among the princes in the world today, Sun Ce's way of governing the region is definitely the one that most resembles Lu Bu.

If Jingzhou is empty, it is absolutely possible for Sun Ce to take advantage of the emptiness to attack, and the family can do it.

"Mr. Jing Sheng, the crusade against Lv Bu is a golden opportunity that cannot be missed. I would like to go to Jiangdong to convince Sun Ce that everyone join forces to attack Lv Bu. If we can join forces, do you know if Duke Jing Sheng would like to?" Zhang Song looked at Liu Biao and asked.

"If you don't have to worry about the future, you should eliminate thieves for the country!" Liu Biao nodded.

"Since that's the case, let me go to Jiangdong to lobby, but in Song's opinion, we alone are not enough to kill that Lv Bu traitor completely. We should contact the princes of the world to discuss the country's traitors. I don't know what Duke Jing Sheng thinks?" Zhang Song Get up and say solemnly.

"In the past, the feudal lords fought against the bandits Dong, didn't they return in vain?" Speaking of this, Cai Mao was a little displeased. At the beginning, Dong Zhuo was also a group of heroes. Although he later claimed to have defeated Dong Zhuo and fled to Chang'an, he was actually a feudal lord. Putting gold on your face, what is the real situation, others don't know, how can scholars like Cai Mao not know?

Now Dong Zhuo is gone, but Lu Bu is more than a step ahead of Dong Zhuo, so what's the use of another alliance of princes?

"Brother Degui's words are wrong!" Zhang Song laughed when he heard the words: "In the past, when the heroes of the world were fighting against the Dong bandits, all the heroes from all walks of life were recruited soldiers. They are not as good as the elite Xiliang army who often kill in the frontier. Now it is not what it used to be, there are quite a lot of elites under the command of heroes."

"Furthermore, at the beginning, many princes were unable to march. People like Wen Jugong, who knew nothing about military power, naturally did not know the current situation. However, now that the princes have been fighting for many years, they can see the situation clearly. Gather them all, why worry about the country's thieves!?"

When it came to the end, Zhang Song had an impassioned expression on his face.

Thinking about it, it actually makes some sense. At the beginning, the soldiers and horses of the princes were not only cobbled together, but most of them were newly recruited. To put it bluntly, they were all peasants who had just put down their farm tools, but what about now? After these years of killing and attacking by the princes from all walks of life in the Central Plains, and the waves washing away the sand, those who remained were all elites, and the generals were all experienced and fierce generals. If the princes unite, why worry about Lu Bu! ?

"Since that's the case, I will send people to Jizhou to invite Ben Chu to post a letter to discuss Lu Bu!" Liu Biao said in a deep voice.

"From Song's point of view, we still need to send people to Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shu to find out their interests and facilitate this alliance!" Zhang Song said solemnly.

"I'm going to lobby for this matter!" Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue stood up and said, "My lord only needs to raise troops in Jingzhou for the war."

"good!"
