Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

"Lord, withdraw!" Guo Tu, in Yuan Shao's tent in Guandu, held back his words for a long time and looked at Yuan Shao with a bitter smile.

withdraw?

Yuan Shao glanced at him when he heard this, how to withdraw? Now that Lu Bu has all the advantages, will he allow himself to withdraw easily?

At this time, as long as Xu Rong sends troops from Hanoi to take Yecheng directly or cut off his return route, Yuan Shao will have no way to advance or retreat. But if he wants to withdraw, Lu Bu's 30,000 elite troops are powerful, and Yuan Shao has these days. Fully understand, if this were not the case, 100,000 people would not have been rejected and defended by a force of 30,000 people.

Seemingly seeing Yuan Shao's difficulties, Jushou hesitated for a moment, then stepped out of the queue and said to Yuan Shao: "Have you ever thought about making peace with Lu Bu, my lord?"

"Make peace?" Yuan Shao looked at Jushu and asked.

"That's right." Jushou nodded: "I see that Lu Bu has no intention of occupying the land this time. Otherwise, Runan and Yingchuan have already changed hands at this time, and he has no intention of occupying the land. There is no point in continuing to fight, and it will only be a loss. The strength of both sides' forces is better than making peace, what do you think, my lord?"

If we can make peace with the current situation, that would be the best outcome.

"If Lu Bu doesn't want to do it, wouldn't it be a loss of face?" Yuan Shao was a little worried. He started this fight by himself, and now he doesn't want to fight, so Lu Bu will let him? Even if he gave in, he would probably have to suffer a lot of humiliation. How could he accept such a thing after coming from a famous family?

"Lord." Feng Ji hesitated for a moment, but did not refute Yuan Shao. Instead, he bowed and said: "In this situation, if our army does not ask for peace, it may be difficult for the 100,000 troops to return. My lord, think twice."

Yuan Shao sighed and said rather unwillingly: "Who is willing to meet Lu Bu?"

Everyone said nothing. Although the two armies were fighting and did not kill the envoy, this time they were unreasonable and could not fight for peace. They knew it would not be easy. This mission must not please both sides. Naturally, no one wanted to see Lu Bu. .

"Lord." Seeing that no one wanted to go, Jushu sighed secretly in his heart. He took a step forward and said to Yuan Shao: "Shuo wishes to go!"

Yuan Shao looked at Ju Shou with complicated eyes, and finally nodded silently.

Jushou bid farewell to Yuan Shao, and then left the camp alone to go to Lu Bu's camp.

Lu Bu is studying the next step. In fact, Lu Bu doesn't really want to fight until now. There is no benefit in killing Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao suffered a lot in this battle, plus the losses in Hanoi, those who have been killed these days , at least one hundred thousand.

If the fight continued, he was afraid that Yuan Shao would be crippled.

Lu Bu did not want Yuan Shao's family to dominate and then unify the Central Plains, but he also did not want Yuan Shao to perish. In that case, Lu Bu would have to send troops to Jizhou to capture this land in Hebei.

It's not that he can't take it, but the land in Hebei is really not as good as in the hands of Yuan Shao now in Lu Bu's hands. Even if Lu Bu takes it, it will be difficult to govern Jizhou like Guanzhong. The most important thing is that Lu Bu has taken Jizhou now. In addition to facing Apart from Karasuma in the north, it is also completely bordered by Cao Cao, so it is almost inevitable that war will continue in the future.

And now Lu Bu has just captured Shu and has achieved his goal. After successive battles, many of the things Chang'an has prepared over the years have been used up, and there is no point in continuing to fight.

"My lord, Yuan Shao's envoy Ju Shuo is asking for an audience outside the camp." Lu Bu was discussing the next strategy with Li Ru and Gao Shun when he saw Wei Yan walking in quickly and saluting Lu Bu.

"Please." Lu Bu raised his head and said after hearing this.

"Here!" Wei Yan agreed, turned around and left.

"Lord, it seems that Yuan Shaoxian can't sit still." Li Ru looked at Lu Bu and said with a smile.

"Yes." Lu Bu leaned back and said with emotion: "At this point in the battle, Yuan Shao should have sent someone to make peace, but only now did he say that this big family is really more powerful. Pay more attention to your face."

Yuan Shao sent someone over at this time. Apart from making peace, he really couldn't think of anything else to do.

From the time he entered Shu to the present, this battle has already been a long one for Lu Bu. Guanzhong only took a few years. If the battle continues, the wealth he has accumulated in the past few years will almost be wiped out.

For Lu Bu, Yuan Shao came to sue for peace, which was also a chance to renew his life.

Jushou was soon led by Wei Yan to Lu Bu's tent. This was the first time he really saw Lu Bu, but it was not as terrifying as the legend. Jushou saluted Lü Bu: "Jushou, see Marquis Wen."

"You don't need to be polite to me. I've heard your name for a long time and I've long wanted to get to know you. It's a pity that I only got to meet you today and sit down." Lu Bu nodded and motioned for Ju Shou to take a seat.

"Thank you, Marquis Wen!" Jushou bowed to Lu Bu and then knelt down.

"My lord and brother, I don't know why Mr. Yuan asked you to come here?" Li Ru looked at Jushu with a smile.

Jushou looked at Lu Bu, then at Li Ru, and said with a wry smile: "Since Marquis Wen already knows, why bother asking again?"

At this time, when Lu Bu came to see him, what else could he do except make peace?

"Is it possible that Mr. Yuan is willing to surrender to the imperial court?" Li Ru asked with a smile.

Lu Bu said nothing and only watched the two men compete.

Jushou shook his head when he heard this: "My lord, the position of general is originally granted by the imperial court, so why should I surrender?"

Not daring to let Li Ru talk any more, Jushou looked solemn, clasped his fists at Lu Bu and said, "Marquis Wen, to be honest, my lord was provoked by a villain in this battle. Now my lord has repented. But I don’t know if Marquis Wen can just stop the war, how about we make peace with each other?”

Lu Bu took a sip of the tea brought by Ma Chao, looked at Jushu and said, "If I was so easily instigated by villains at first, how could I dominate the three states?"

Jushou was a little helpless when he heard this. What he said was to find a step and see if Lu Bu could come down along the way. Now it seems that it is not possible.

"People always make mistakes, and my lord did not notice this time. Of course, if Marquis Wen needs it, just mention it." Jushou looked at Lu Bu and said.

Lu Bu was obviously waiting for this. Hearing this, he looked at Li Ru and Li Ru understood. He looked at Ju Shu and said, "Young Yu was deceived by just a few words, so I wanted to put this matter aside. But you know, we are going to fight because of this." , how much was lost? Half of Nanyang is empty of humans and animals, hundreds of miles are uninhabited, and there are also those soldiers who died on the battlefield! Alas~"

The Battle of Nanyang, what does it have to do with us?

Jushou was speechless. Does the Battle of Nanyang have something to do with them?

It seems that there is indeed some relationship, but shouldn't Cao Cao be responsible for these losses? Why do you care if we want it?

Jushou took a deep breath, looked at Li Ru and said, "Brother Wenyou, the war in Nanyang seems to have nothing to do with our army."

"As far as I know, Mr. Yuan seems to be the leader of this alliance. How could it be irrelevant?" Li Ru asked with a smile: "Besides, with Cao Cao's current situation, I'm afraid he won't be able to offer much."

He still owes us a lot of horses. Can we let him use this to accompany us?

Jushou wanted to ask, but he also knew that it would be difficult to continue the conversation without cutting off the flesh today, so he immediately said: "But I don't know how to do it?"

"My lord, with all due respect, may you make the decision on this matter?" Lu Bu asked.

Jushou shook his head: "However, Marquis Wen can tell you his request, so I can explain it to my lord."

Lu Bu nodded and said with a smile: "That's fine, I want you to withdraw from Yanmen. All the Bingzhou areas will be under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court."

"This is a matter of course." Jushou nodded. This matter will have to be handed over later. Isn't it Yuan Shao's decision to hand it over or not? Let them get out of here first.

Although Lu Bu didn't have the ability to read minds, he felt Jushu's emotions, but he didn't care. Whether Yanmen gave in or not, after this battle, all the states would be his, and his real request was not here.

"In addition, Hanoi has been captured by me now, and I will not return it. After this battle, I will open Hanoi. Hanoi and Xingyang will be regarded as a trade zone. From then on, trade between Guanzhong and Guandong will be opened, and what is needed will be exchanged. Obstruction." Li Ru continued to talk about the requirements here, which he had discussed with Lu Bu before.

Jushou frowned slightly, trade? Is there any interoperability? Is it appropriate to do this at this time? Could there be some conspiracy behind it?

He knew that Lu Bu encouraged farmers, merchants and craftsmen in Guanzhong, and even reopened the Silk Road for this purpose, but to start trade with Guandong, he didn't know what to connect with, or what Lu Bu wanted?

He is also a very wise man, but the affairs of merchants are not too strange in his opinion. I wonder what can be calculated in it?

For a time, many possibilities flashed through Jushou's mind and he forgot to answer.

"Mr. and brother?" Li Ru called.

Jushou finally came to his senses, looked at Lu Bu and said, "I would like to inform my lord about this matter. I wonder if Marquis Wen has any other requests?"

"One million iron ingots, five kilograms each." Li Ru said with a smile.

Guanzhong's demand for iron is now extremely high.

Jushou obviously also thought of the terrible crossbow arrows, and his expression changed slightly. If he really gave Lu Bu a million iron ingots, wouldn't he be endorsing the enemy?

If there is another war in the future, Jushou will shudder when he thinks of the scene where arrows are like locusts.

At that moment, Jushou looked troubled, shook his head and said: "Marquis Wen, not to mention a million iron ingots, even a hundred thousand iron ingots, I'm afraid my lord wouldn't be able to come up with it. Jizhou has used a lot of iron over the years, and there are still a lot of iron ingots left in the treasury. I’m afraid…”

"Then there should be war horses, right?" Lu Bu interrupted Ju Shou and asked, "One hundred thousand war horses."

Ju Shou's face turned even uglier. He really couldn't show it. No matter how wealthy Yuan Shao was, he couldn't raise so many horses, let alone so many cavalry.

"Then go back." Lu Bu raised his head, looked at Jushu and said, "Let Yuan Benchu ​​prepare for a deadly fight and see how long he can delay it!"

"Marquis Wen, I come here sincerely..."

"You are evading everything, you really can't see where Gongyu's sincerity lies?" Lu Bu looked at Jushou and said seriously: "Do you think Gongyu treats me like a child and can be dismissed with just two words? I don't want to fight anymore. , and you can’t come up with compensation that satisfies me, so why do you want to do this openly? Is it because you are tired from the expedition and want to talk to me to relieve your fatigue?”

Jushou was silent after hearing this. He naturally wanted to resolve the matter peacefully. If the fight continued now, Yuan Shao would definitely suffer a loss, but Lu Bu's last condition was really unacceptable.

"Go back, tell Yuan Shao, let me see his sincerity, justice, no one wants to fight, but since we fight, we have to bear the consequences no matter what, right? Just saying a few nice words is not an attitude of admitting your mistakes. "Li Ru looked at Ju Shou, smiled and said softly, benefits must be given, the territory is virtual, Lu Bu can take it anytime he wants, this is easy to negotiate, but the real benefits cannot be less, there is no discussion.

Jushou naturally understood what Li Ru meant. Now that the initiative was in the hands of others, they really had no confidence to make a choice. In the end, Jushou could only salute Lu Bu and said: "Marquis Wen, please give me a few days of grace. I will go back to discuss with the lord." How about Ichiban?"

"It doesn't matter, it just so happens that a batch of baggage is arriving in Nanyang soon. I'll go with you. We can talk about it after the baggage arrives." Lu Bu said casually.

This was definitely a threat, but Jushou could only nodded silently and bowed to leave...
