New Lubu War

Chapter 114 Not for Lu Bu
Hearing this, Lu Bu stopped looking up at the sky, cast a glance at Zhang Liao, and paced back and forth in the courtyard, thinking to himself.

What Zhang Liao said is not without reason.

Although Wuyuan County was the place where he made his fortune, and it was governed quite prosperously, it was a remote county with limited manpower, material and financial resources.

Coupled with the fact that it is far away from the Central Plains, there is no news, and it is inconvenient to travel, so it is indeed not suitable for the residence of the General's Mansion.

If the general's mansion is located in Hedong, it can not only maintain the control of Bingzhou, but also not delay the planning of Youzhou, Jizhou and other places.

It is also close to Luoyang, the capital of Sili, which is very convenient.

Yes, Youzhou and Jizhou have already been regarded by Lu Bu as his own.

Is the so-called 'Long Wang Shu'.

Youzhou and Jizhou, which belong to the north like Bingzhou, are nominally under his control. Now that Bingzhou has been won, how could he not think about Youzhou and Jizhou?
Before Yuan Shao made his fortune, the two big states were always in chaos. If he didn't take it, Yuan Shao would be cheap sooner or later.

How does this work?
Therefore, in Lu Bu's plan, troops will be sent next year to take Youzhou and Jizhou.

He is the left general of the North, and he has this power!

As for taking it or not...

joke!

In today's world, who is the opponent of Bingzhou soldiers and horses?

In the battle with the Southern Huns, the Wuyuan soldiers and horses were almost unscathed!

Now that the entire Bingzhou is under control, and soldiers from various counties have been recruited, Lu Bu's army has increased by more than [-] to [-] in addition to [-] direct descendants!

Among them, there are the original [-] county soldiers, and there are also young and strong recruits who came to join the army.

After the Battle of Hedong, many people from Bingzhou came here admiringly. Lu Bu ordered people to select young and strong men to join the army, and received another [-].

With such a strong lineup, even Dong Zhuo, who has all the elite soldiers in Xiliang, is not as good, let alone Youzhou and Jizhou, which are in a state of chaos?
What's the situation in Youzhou?
Liu Yu is the shepherd of Youzhou. His honest government loves the people, his government is lenient and benevolent, and he appeases the people.

But he is too benevolent for a woman, his hands are tied, he is indecisive, he lacks courage, and he has less iron fists.

In the days of peace, a person like Liu Yu would surely be famous in history and praised by the world.

The problem is that it is a chaotic world now, and it will become more and more chaotic in the future.

Troubled times are not suitable for people like Liu Yu.

First of all, he was too kind to the Hu people such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, Fuyu, and Yeji, and blindly tolerated them.

Such a strategy laid a hidden danger for the Hu people, and also had a fierce conflict with the hardliner Gongsun Zan.

Secondly, he is too pedantic and naive, and is easy to be fooled by others.

After the defeat of Dong Zhuo, Han Fu, governor of Jizhou, Yuan Shao, prefect of Bohai and other Shandong princes discussed, considering that the emperor was young and controlled by Dong Zhuo, they wanted to make Liu Yu, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, as the new emperor.

If Liu Yu agrees, maybe it will be another Liu Xiu, at least there will be no such thing as Cao Cao later.

But Liu Yu refused.

Han Fu, Yuan Shao and others asked Liu Yu to be a minister, so that he could appoint officials to the princes according to the system, but Liu Yu refused again.

At that time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was held by Li Jue, and sent Liu Yu's son Liu He to find Liu Yu and asked him to bring troops to rescue him.

However, Liu He was detained by Yuan Shu with ulterior motives, and then sent someone to fool Liu Yu, asking him to send troops to pick up Han Xiandi together.

Liu Yu then sent his elite cavalry to join Yuan Shu, but was detained by Yuan Shu and became his own army.

In fact, Gongsun Zan saw that Yuan Shu was playing a trick. He tried to persuade Liu Yu not to send troops, but Liu Yu refused to listen. What can he do?
This is the stupid thing Liu Yu did.

Later, Liu Yu broke with Gongsun Zan.

The reason is also very simple, the differences between the two mainly lie in the treatment of Hu people.

Due to space limitations, I won't say much about the details. In short, it gets more and more rigid in the end.

In the fourth year of Chuping, Liu Yu mobilized [-] people to attack Gongsun Zan.

Before leaving, Liu Yu told the soldiers: "Don't hurt people too much, just kill Gongsun Zan!"

Originally, Gongsun Zan felt that he was invincible and wanted to escape.

As a result, Liu Yu's army was not good at fighting, and was ordered not to burn cities, not to hurt innocent people, in short, all kinds of constraints.

In the end, Gongsun Zan summoned hundreds of elite warriors, set fire to the wind, and took advantage of the situation to make a surprise attack, and Liu Yu was defeated.

It's that simple!
It's not much different from child's play!

Liu Yu is a "Song Xianggong" who pays too much attention to benevolence and righteousness. He can be a famous minister in peacetime, but a rookie in troubled times.

Therefore, with Lu Bu's current military strength, it would be a no-brainer to take down Youzhou.

As for Jizhou, it is even simpler.

Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, was worse than Liu Yu. Because he was a disciple of the Yuan family, he took refuge in Yuan Shao.

At that time, Han Fu was already a shepherd of Jizhou, and he took refuge in a mere prefect of a county with the dignified state shepherd?

Hmm, interesting!

If Lu Bu doesn't take this kind of Jizhou, why not leave it to Yuan Shao?

but……

Now is not the time.

Although Dong Zhuo dominated the ruling and opposition parties and acted recklessly, making the world full of resentment, the majesty of the great man still remained.

Even though the little emperor is a puppet, he still represents the orthodoxy of the [-]-year-old Han Dynasty. The princes from all over the country can attack Dong Zhuo, but they cannot attack each other without authorization.

That's an act of treason!
Although the current Dong Zhuo is domineering and cruel, he is still a powerful minister after all.

The point is, it's the minister!
In the eyes of the world, the sinner is Dong Zhuo, and has nothing to do with the emperor, let alone a big man.

How is it different from Dong Zhuo if the prefectures and counties conquer without authorization?
Therefore, during this period of time, the princes of the world are actually very harmonious with each other, and there is basically no talk of war.

In other words, the order of the Han Dynasty remains the same.

Whoever takes the lead will be attacked by the crowd from all over the world.

If Lu Bu sent troops to Youzhou or Jizhou at this time, if not done well, there would be an alliance of princes from all over the world to attack Lu Bu.

Dong Zhuo would definitely like to see this scene.

But Lu Bu is not stupid!

He doesn't want to be an early bird!
So, still need to wait.

It's been five years, so there's still time left?

correct!

Lu Bu suddenly thought of something.

"It's the end of December. Last month, Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, so he fled. After such a long time, he should have issued a call for appeal to Dong Zhuo. Why didn't I receive it?"

"Or, Ah Man, you looked down on me, Lu Bu, and didn't send it to me?"

His doubts did not last long.

Because, I received the message the next day.

In mid-December, Cao Cao received a donation from the local Xiaolian Weihong to help him recruit volunteers.

Because of the assassination of Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao's reputation was greatly shaken.

The flag of "loyalty" was erected, which immediately attracted many people to vote, and surrounded by the clansmen, an army soon formed.

Le Jin, Li Dian, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other people who are familiar to future generations gathered together.

At the same time as the soldiers and horses were summoned, a call to action against Dong was also sent from Chenliu to the princes all over the world.

With Cao Cao's literary talents, the content of the call-to-action is naturally thrilling and fascinating, which makes the princes of all places feel sorry for them.

So, for a while, people all over the world responded one after another.

This proclamation, the princes of the world, basically have a copy, but they don't have a copy of Lu Bu!
