Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 329: The Whale Swallows the Central Plains

"Your Majesty, don't you want to go back with us?" After visiting the giant ship built by Lu Bu, everyone looked at Lu Bu and asked.

"Dengzhou is relatively hidden, and the princes can't detect it. Moreover, with the formation of this fleet, our army's power will be extended. In the future, the north-south communication will mainly be canals and sea routes. I will supervise the construction of the fleet here, which will also help to penetrate the north and south." Lu Buyao Shaking his head, the fleet will start to take shape next, how can he leave?

"Why don't I stay with the prince, I think I have to watch the ship for the prince." Qi Guoyuan pointed to the huge ship in the distance and said with a smile: "I think I can also fight in the water!"

"What the hell, Shizi said just now, you have to be able to see the sky, predict the wind direction, and watch the current to sail a boat. Which of these things do you know?" Cheng Yaojin said disdainfully.

"No, I can learn from Shizi. Shizi didn't know it before. It should be easy in half a year. I'm not as good as Shizi. Let's learn it in three to five years." Qi Guoyuan refused to accept.

"You have studied for thirty years, I think, three to five years...Thirty-seventh brother, it's not that fourth brother looks down on you, you have to be a normal person in those three to five years, you can't, it's almost the same with me." Cheng Yaojin clapped Patted Qi Guoyuan on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you, my feelings are worse than normal people's, right?" Qi Guoyuan pushed him away.

"How do you say that? It's called... anyone can do whatever they want, what does it have to do with you? Your son taught me himself!" Cheng Yaojin didn't care, he laughed Said: "Look at you, if you can't say it, you will do it."

"My son, Lao Qi, I've known you for a long time than Cheng Fatty, so you can't be partial!" Qi Guoyuan was so angry that he ran to Lu Bu and begged.

"Water warfare is very talented. If you can, you can. If you can't, you can't catch up with others in three or five years. It's better to study what you are good at." Lu Bu laughed.

"The son, you are not... this..." Qi Guoyuan said halfway, looked at Lu Bu, and then at the big ship in the distance.

After staying in Dengzhou for a few days, everyone set off to return to the royal court. According to Lu Bu's plan, taking down Jiangdu was just an appetizer. The next step was to gather strength to swallow the Central Plains. This required the cooperation of Lu Bu's navy, so what we have to do now It is to nourish energy and store energy, to accumulate food and grass.

Lu Bu stayed in Dengzhou for three full years, and finally built a large-scale fleet. Except for the main ship, the other large and small ships under the command of Lu Bu went down the canal and reached the Jianghuai River.

Du Fuwei wanted to resist, but Lu Bu didn't even go ashore. It was just that the Vulcan cannons bombarded the city walls in turn. The water system in the Jianghuai area is complex, and most cities are close to the water system. Without going ashore to fight, Du Fuwei's army would naturally be unable to take Lu Bu.

However, in January, Shan Xiongxin's Southern Expedition Army had just arrived. Du Fuwei was unable to resist the enemy and surrendered to Lv Bu. This was the third prince who voluntarily surrendered to Wei. Lu Bu asked Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou to be the main ones.

This time, Lu Bu has been accumulating energy for three years, with great ambition, and he has not moved for three years. This move is to take down the entire Central Plains. Although there are many princes in the Central Plains, the strongest is Du Fuwei, who is also Lu Bu. The reason why it took three years to prepare the fleet.

Now that Du Fuwei surrendered, only Lin Shihong, Shen Faxing, and Zhu Can remained. Lu Bu and Shan Xiongxin divided their forces.

There were not many twists and turns on Lu Bu's side. Lin Shihong and Shen Faxing wanted to fight together, but faced with Lu Bu's Liannu and backup, the coalition forces were defeated in the first battle, and Shen Faxing was killed by stone bullets among the rebellious army. Lin Shihong organized a suicidal fireboat, and in the end it only burned Lu Bu's five large ships, and the entire navy was wiped out.

In the end, he was unwilling to surrender to Lu Bu. After knowing that the situation was over, he abandoned the city and fled, and went to Jingzhou to vote for Xiao Xian.

And Xiao Xian was also Lu Bu's last target in this battle. He was going to take the Hanshui to Nanyang, and then the fleet went to the Weishui to Yiqueguan, and finally went to Luoyang with Shan Xiongxin's army to attack Wang Shichong.

Unlike Lin Shihong, Du Fuwei and others, Xiao Xian was also born in aristocratic family, but still the same sentence, birth is not equal to ability. After Jiangling proclaimed himself emperor, his life became more and more extravagant, pursuing pleasure and ignoring government affairs, until Lin Shihong came to join him alone. At that time, I felt something was wrong, and hurriedly wanted to organize people to fight against Lu Bu, but was defeated in Jiangling, and the capital Jiangling was also taken by Lu Bu, and then retreated all the way to Nanyang, but was pressed by Lu Bu every step of the way. However, an army with low morale can't stop the fire of the Vulcan cannon and the ballista.

In the end, he was defeated by Lu Bu, and took Lin Shihong and other confidants to Wuguan to Chang'an to join Li Shimin. So far, the Central Plains, including the land of Jingchu, has been completely owned by Lu Bu.

Great Wei prepared for today for three years, but it only took half a year from when Lu Bu sent troops to conquer Du Fuwei to when Lu Bu defeated Xiao Xian.

For the past three years, Great Wei has held imperial examinations almost every year, accumulating a large reserve of talented people. In addition, although the time for this expedition is short, Great Wei has clearly estimated how to fight and where to fight, and has not shown up. The predicament of no one governing the place.

Water transportation saves food, and Lu Bu broke through four princes on this road, but the consumption of food and grass is far less than that of Shan Xiongxin.

When Lu Bu took Nanyang and the big ships could not enter again, they had to use small boats to go along the Weishui to Luoyang, Shan Xiongxin had already defeated Zhu Can.

Compared with Lin Shihong and Xiao Xian, Zhu Can was much more miserable, and he did not escape. In the artillery fire, he was drowned in a cesspit by his subordinates and the people below, which also shows how unpopular Zhu Can is. .

After three years of not moving, the Central Plains would be devoured as soon as he moved. All of a sudden, the land to the east and south of Luoyang was the land of the Great Wei, and Wang Shichong only had the land of Heluo.

So far, the world has become that Li Tang occupies Guanzhong and Bashu, Wang Shichong occupies Luoyang and Hedong, and the rest is the territory of the Great Wei.

The trend of east and west contending for supremacy has become clear, and Luoyang has become the key. If Wei wants to tackle key problems, the land of Heluo must be won. Similarly, if Li Tang wants to make progress, he also needs to win Luoyang. people.

But Wang Shichong knew that he had absolutely no qualifications to compete with the two, and he only hoped to sell himself and Luoyang for a good price.

Luoyang, Wangfu.

"Mr. Fang, I have been friends with the king of Wei for a long time, and I am actually willing to listen to orders in front of the king's account." Wang Shichong looked at the scholar in front of him. This person called Fang Xuanling, and it was the first imperial examination for Wei. The top of the list is now the minister of the Ministry of Rites, who came to lobby Wang Shichong on behalf of Wei, hoping that Wang Shichong would fall to Wei's side.

Now the situation in the world is clear, the Lu family and the Li family are fighting each other, but there are not many territories bordering on the two sides. Luoyang has Hulao in the east, Yique in the south, Tongguan and Hangu Pass in the west. It can be said that no matter who wins Wang Shichong , whoever can get the upper hand.

But Fang Xuanling also saw that this Wang Shichong was up for sale, and this person felt a little greedy, and he was willing to say it, and he probably said the same to Li Tang.

Fang Xuanling narrowed his eyes slightly. Wang Shichong said a lot of compliments, but he still refused to hand over Luoyang. Obviously he still wanted to procrastinate, but the world is like this, who will procrastinate with you?

"I also understand what the general means. In this way, I will go back and confirm with the king of Wei, and I will definitely give the general a satisfactory answer!" Fang Xuanling decided not to talk nonsense with him. Lu Bu has already arrived at Yique Pass. This time he is not planning to return to the royal court. Lu Bu has the right to make a decision on the fly. He wants to see what Lu Bu means.

When Fang Xuanling was at the top of the list, Lu Bu met once when he returned to Beiping, but he didn't discuss it deeply. Wang Ting reused it, but Lu Bu went to Dengzhou.

This time I took the initiative to meet Lu Bu, apart from the business, I also intended to have a close relationship with Lu Bula.

So after Fang Xuanling left Luoyang, instead of going to Hulao Pass, he went directly to Yique Pass, and went to meet Lu Bu through Yique Pass.

As soon as Fang Xuanling left, Wang Shichong received Li Tang's envoy again. Li Tang came this time with the generals Li Xiaogong and Du Ruhui. The words were the same as what Fang Xuanling said.

Wang Shichong just wanted to see what benefits the two companies could bring him the most, and then decide which one to defect to. But now, the sincerity offered by the two companies cannot satisfy him, so he has not let go.

"This Wang Shichong really regards himself as a character!?" After Li Xiaogong came out with Du Ruhui, he finally couldn't help cursing, what kind of thing is almost enough, but he has been greedy all the time.

Du Ruhui's face was also not very good, but he shook his head and said: "You don't have to be like this, the general. The conditions we gave did not meet Wang Shichong's expectations. Wang Shichong...is for sale."

"Then there is no such way of estimation." Li Xiaogong scolded.

"Let's leave the customs first. The army has arrived at Hongnong. Let's see what Tang Gong said." Du Ruhui shook his head. This time, Li Shimin personally led the troops to attack Luoyang. Let's see what Li Shimin said. some benefits?

"Advantages?" Lu Bu camped, Lu Bu thought for a while and said, "No matter how many, the officers and men should be dissatisfied. Since Wang Shichong is unwilling to surrender, then let him inform the second brother that the day the order arrives, the Hulao Pass will be broken immediately. , when the time comes, we will join forces in Luoyang!"

It's not that he was impatient. In fact, Lu Bu also wanted to persuade Wang Shichong to surrender at the beginning.

The army is exhausted every day here, who has the time to spend it with him?

On the other side, after receiving Du Ruhui's reward, Li Shimin also shook his head at the same time: "No need, let's prepare to storm Tongguan. I didn't want to use the divine martial arts prematurely, but now I have to try it in Tongguan first."

Li Shimin has also made gunpowder through continuous experiments based on firecrackers over the years. Although there is no Vulcan cannon as a siege weapon, the explosive power is also not small. He originally wanted to deal with Lu Bu, but now he will try it on Wang Shichong first. try it!
