Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies
Chapter [104] Yuan Shu Bought An Official, And Zhang Lu Robbed The Way.
Knowing that Yuan Shu's envoy was coming, Lu Bu was a little uncertain for a while, why did Yuan Shu send someone to find him.
You know, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu still have grievances and grievances. Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling was beheaded by Lu Bu himself. Lu Bu asked himself that he had no friendship with Yuan Shu.
"Bring it here." Anyway, everyone is here, let's meet and see what's going on.
Not long after, the soldiers came in with a scribe.
"I'm going down to Yan Xiang to meet Marquis Wen."
Yuan Shu sent people here, what is the matter?" Lu Bu asked directly.
"My lord would like to ask Marquis Wen, what merits does Yuan Shao have to be awarded the post of Taiwei?" Yan Xiang was also very direct.
Hearing this, Lu Bu's face showed a look of surprise. It turned out that he was here for business, and the smile on his face became more and more enthusiastic.
"Oh, this matter." Lu Bu laughed and said: "Before there was a famine in Guanzhong, Yuan Shao sent food and grass from Hebei to relieve the victims, which solved the famine problem in Guanzhong. "
Everyone is a decent person, so naturally Lu Bu can't directly say that Yuan Shao is buying an official, otherwise what face does the court have?
But everyone is also smart, Yan Xiang can definitely understand what Lu Bu means.
"My lord also intends to do his best for the country. I wonder what the general wants?"
"That's naturally the best." Lu Bu said with a smile: "Guanzhong has been tortured by Dong Zhuo, the people have no clothes, no food to eat, and the emperor lives in a dilapidated palace. Now the court urgently needs the generosity of all the princes .”
"My lord has only one request." Yan Xiang said slowly.
"Speaking."
"Yuan Shao is a concubine, and my lord is the direct son of the Yuan family, and I must not be under the concubine.
Lu Bu understood completely now, it turned out that Yuan Shao stimulated Yuan Shu.
After Yuan Shu saw Yuan Shao became a Taiwei, he was envious, jealous and hated, and didn't want to be overwhelmed by Yuan Shao, so it can be understood now.
However, Yuan Shu's request was a bit tricky, he demanded that the official position should not be lower than Yuan Shao's, and he had to be higher than Yuan Shao's, which was a bit difficult.
Yuan Shao is already a Taiwei, one of the three princes.
It is not difficult for Yuan Shu to be equal, no matter if it is Situ or Sikong, just give Yuan Shu one.
But if he is a head taller than the Taiwei, then in the normal official position of the court, that is, Lu Bu's general will be able to stabilize the Taiwei by a head.
In history, after Cao Cao welcomed the emperor, he named himself a general and Yuan Shao a captain.
But Yuan Shao was ashamed of being under Cao Cao, so Cao Cao gave up the general to Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao made Sikong himself.
As for the official positions of Da Sima, Taishi, and Taifu, they are not permanent official positions of the imperial court. Lu Bu does not want to temporarily add officials to Yuan Shu, and these official positions are bigger than Lu Bu's generals.
As for the position of general, it is not easy for Lu Bu to directly give up the position of Yuan Shu.
The official position still has some role. With the position of general, Lu 430 Bu can justifiably control the military power.
"This is a bit difficult." Lu Bu wondered: "Isn't it okay for the same three men?"
Yan Xiang shook his head and said, "Marquis Wen, my lord came here with great sincerity."
Subtext: money is not a problem, as long as the requirements can be met, anything is easy to say.
Lu Bu began to think hard, since customers have needs, they must try their best to meet them.
"Yes!" Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he said, "How about General Hussars?"
"Emperor Xiaowu set up the post of General for Wei Qing, and the post of Hussar General for Huo Qubing, both of which are above San Gong.
Yan Xiangwen said, "Emperor Xiaowu's preference for Huo Huqi is a special case, and it is only limited to Emperor Wu's dynasty."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty favored Huo Qubing, and the situation that Hussar General was superior to Sangong was limited to Emperor Wu's dynasty, and it was roughly the same as Sangong in other periods.
"Hey! Once you win, you win!" Lu Bu continued, "When did the Taiwei ever rank above the hussars? Not even once."
"In this way, there is no state shepherd in Yuzhou yet, I think Brother Gong is very suitable, and I will recommend it to the emperor."
A hussar general and a Yuzhou shepherd for free, whether Yuan Shu can overwhelm Yuan Shao depends entirely on what Yuan Shu thinks.
In fact, normally speaking, the positions of the two are almost the same, and it can't be said who is superior and who is inferior.
But just like Lu Bu, General Hussars was once above Sangong, which is considered an advantage.
Yan Xiang was still a little hesitant. With this slight advantage, he worried that he would not be able to satisfy Yuan Shu.
Seeing this, Lu Bu began to think again, thinking about how to satisfy Yuan Shu, a big client.
"Mr. Yan, have you ever visited the emperor?" Lu Bu asked suddenly.
"Going back to Marquis Wen, I went to the imperial palace first, and then came to the General's Mansion when I learned that Marquis Wen is here." Yan Xiang didn't know why, so he answered truthfully.
Lu Bu asked with a smile: "Have you ever seen the head hanging at the main entrance of the palace?"
Yan Xiang nodded, "I see, this is
"This is Dong Bandit's head, hanging on the palace gate, to warn future generations."
Dong Zhuo's head has been hanging in front of the palace gate since it was cut off by Lu Bu. After such a long time, the flesh on it has long since disappeared, and now only a skull remains.
"Back when Dong Zhuo murdered Grand Tutor Yuan Kui, the Yuan family in Luoyang was slaughtered by Dong Zhuo.
"With such a deep hatred, if Dong Zhuo's head is brought back to worship the ancestors, brother Gao must be..." Lu Bu did not continue.
But after Yan Xiang finished listening, he understood instantly.
Yuan Shu was nothing more than fighting for breath, trying to overwhelm Yuan Shao's limelight.
If Yuan Shu could bring Dong Zhuo's (aedb) skull back to his hometown in Runan, and use Dong Zhuo's head to pay homage to the deceased clansmen, he would definitely show his face at home and be praised by the elders of the clan.
"If so, General Hussars, Yuzhou Mu, and Dong Zhuo's skull will definitely satisfy my lord." Yan Xiang knows Yuan Shu very well, and this plan will definitely satisfy Yuan Shu.
"It's easy to say, I will prepare the things, and then it will depend on Brother Gong's sincerity." Lu did not forget to remind: "Since you want to overwhelm Yuan Shao, then Brother Gao's sincerity can't be less than Yuan Shao's."
"It's natural. My lord's sincerity is guaranteed to be more or less. I will write to Nanyang to inform my lord of the situation." Yan Xiang nodded.
"Come here, take the envoy to the post house to rest, so that he can take care of him."
"I will take my leave."
After Yan Xiang left, Lu Bu leaned on the chair happily.
"The Son of Heaven is so good, just sit at home, and someone will deliver food and grass on the pole."
"While Yuan Shu is still in Nanyang, it will be difficult to make a deal in the future."
Nanyang is not far from Guanzhong, and there are no other princes between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, so supplies can enter Guanzhong unimpeded.
From Nanyang to Guanzhong, it was the road of Wuguan.
Starting from Nanyang, go along the road to the northwest, and you can enter the land of Guanzhong after passing Wuguan.
"The repair work of the pass must be stepped up." Lu Bu murmured.
...
Xuzhou.
Tao Qian was lying on the sickbed, dying.
"I knew...I knew that Cao Cao would not let it go, he still came..."
Cao Cao led his troops to raid Xuzhou in winter, and Tao Qian was caught off guard. He lost cities one after another and his morale plummeted.
On the other hand, Cao Cao was like a broken bamboo all the way, driving straight in.
When the military rations were insufficient, the massacre was directly carried out on Xuzhou. Wherever it passed, it was killed, and the remaining food for the winter was robbed from the people's homes. If the weather was too cold, the houses were directly demolished and burned.
"Shang'er, have the soldiers you sent for help ever returned?" Tao Qian asked lying on the couch.
Tao Qian's son, named Tao Shang, said, "Ah Weng, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are unwilling to send troops to rescue us."
"Yuan Shao said that there was a famine in Guanzhong. He took out all the food and grass to relieve the disaster, and he was unable to send troops."
At this moment, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are still allies. It was not until Yuan Shao unified Hebei and Cao Cao unified Henan that confrontation was inevitable.
"Then what did Yuan Shu say?" Tao Qian asked.
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao are one alliance, while Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, and Gongsun Zan are another alliance.
It is normal for Yuan Shao not to intervene in this matter, but it seems strange that Yuan Shu, as an ally, does not care.
"Ah, Yuan Shu also said that there was a famine in Guanzhong, and he took out the food and grass to relieve the disaster." The potter said with a bitter face.
"Hehehe..." Tao Qian laughed miserably, "The noble son of the Yuan family, the two brothers are vying to buy an official, really shameless!"
"Disaster relief? To put it nicely, one became a captain and the other became a hussar general. Didn't they spend money and food to buy officials? Do you really think that the world is blind?" Tao Qian yelled.
In fact, Tao Qian is envious, don't care how the official position came, this is a serious official position that has been conferred by the imperial court.
And the reasons on the surface are also very high-sounding. No one can say anything about the famine in Guanzhong, the meritorious service in disaster relief, and the conferment of official positions.
"No one is willing to come to the rescue. Is Xuzhou going to be taken by the Cao thief?" Tao Qian showed unwillingness.
Xuzhou is bordered by Qingzhou and Yanzhou in the north, Yuzhou in the west, the sea in the east, and Huainan in the south, which is the Yangzhou area.
Kong Rong in Qingzhou is weak, unable to protect himself, and has no rescue strength at all.
There are no princes in Yangzhou at present, and the only people who can rescue Xuzhou are the brothers of the Yuan family.
Either Yuan Shao attacked Cao Cao from Hebei for the purpose of besieging Wei and saving Zhao, or Yuan Shu sent troops from Runan to rescue Xuzhou.
Now that none of the Yuan family brothers came to rescue, Xuzhou was completely isolated and helpless.
"Report!"
"Report to the governor, Pingyuan ordered Liu Bei to lead his troops to rescue."
"Who?!" Tao Qian jumped up from the couch when he heard the words, "But Liu Bei and Liu Xuande? How many soldiers and horses did they bring?"
"It was Liu Xuande who brought more than a thousand soldiers and horses."
When Tao Qian heard that there were more than a thousand soldiers and horses, he couldn't help showing disappointment on his face.
But after thinking about it, the legs of mosquitoes are also meat. It is very interesting for Liu Bei to come to the rescue from Youzhou thousands of miles away.
"The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang fought against Lu Bu at Hulao Pass. Although they have few troops, they are not weak. They might really beat Cao Cao back." Tao Qian thought for a while, got up and said: I want to meet Xuan personally. Germany.
Coincidentally, Liu Guanzhang had just arrived in Xuzhou, and before he had time to fight Cao Cao, Cao Cao withdrew his troops in a hurry.
Tao Qian thought that Cao Cao was afraid of Liu Guanzhang's prestige, but Zhang Miao took advantage of Cao Cao's troops to Xuzhou and launched a rebellion in Yanzhou.
There was a fire in the backyard, so Cao Cao couldn't care less about attacking Xuzhou, so he withdrew his army back to Yanzhou.
Chang'an, the General's Mansion.
Lu Bu kept turning around the red rabbit, looking up and down, with a very satisfied expression.
Ma Jun on the side asked: "General, I tailor-make this horse armor according to the size of the god horse. I wonder if the general is satisfied?"
"Satisfied! Very satisfied!" Lu Bu was full of praise.
At this moment, Chitu's body is covered with thick horse armor, which protects Chitu's body tightly.
Even Chitu's abdomen and legs are protected by woven battle skirts, which can resist attacks without affecting Chitu's galloping legs.
The horse armor is covered with dense barbs and barbs, and the red rabbit has a horn on its head.
When Lu Bu was about to get on the horse, he suddenly found something extra on the horse's back, "Huh? A saddle?"
"General, there is also an integral armor on the back of the divine horse. For your convenience, I have added a
...a saddle for your convenience. "Ma Jun also just learned the word saddle from Lu Bu.
The back of the Chitu is not so much a saddle as a bench on the horse's back.
Ma Jun was afraid that Lu Bu would ride directly on his back, and there was armor on the horse's back, and Lu Bu would not feel panicked, so he deliberately made this thing.
However, Ma Jun's little gadget triggered a series of thoughts in Lu Bu.
The three-piece set of saddle, stirrup, and horseshoe old horse can be said to be the strongest BUFF for the cavalry. If it is equipped with the whole army, the combat power of the cavalry under the command will definitely be raised to another level.
Moreover, the old horse three-piece suit can not only raise the upper limit of cavalry, but also lower the threshold.
Those who can ride horses at the moment are not necessarily cavalry, but may be mounted infantry. The reason is that the connection of equestrianism is a matter of years and years.
It is not difficult to learn to ride a horse, but to learn to maintain balance on horseback, open a bow and archery, and wield a weapon, the threshold will be very high.
Saddles and stirrups can solve this problem, allowing people to control the balance on horseback.
With the stirrups, the reins can also be freed.
Except for fierce generals, ordinary cavalry rarely use heavy weapons, and even some generals' weapons are not too heavy.
Because the heavier the weapon, the easier it is for a person to lose balance on horseback.
In addition, when controlling a war horse, it is necessary to pull the rein with one hand from time to time. If the weapon is too heavy, holding it with one hand is also a great burden.
So even if it is Lu Bu, Fang Tian's painted halberd is only thirty catties, and the weapons of ordinary generals and soldiers will be lighter.
As for Guan Yu's 82-jin weapon, it is inevitable that he will lose his balance if he cuts through the air with all his strength.
With bilateral stirrups, the rein can be replaced and both hands can be freed at the same time.
The function of the stirrup is not only to be stepped on, but also to control the horse.
Stirrups are getting two ropes connected to the bridle, step on the left stirrup hard, the horse will go left, step on the right stirrup hard, the horse will go right, step on both stirrups at the same time,
The horse will slow down and stop.
The balance is improved, the horse is controlled with the feet, and the hands are freed, and the combat power will naturally be greatly improved.
As for the horseshoe, it can delay the wear and tear of the horseshoe, so that the horse can get a longer service time in the army.
Lu Bu held Ma Jun and gestured for a long time before successfully describing the concept of the old horse's three-piece suit to Ma Jun, so that Ma Jun could understand what Lu Bu was talking about.
And Ma Jun is indeed very talented, Lu Bu's nonsense and gestures made Ma Jun really understand Lu Bu's meaning.
"First order these three things for Chitu, don't say anything, keep it strictly confidential, and don't mention it to others except me." Lu Bu warned.
"General, the three things you mentioned will be very useful if equipped with cavalry in the whole army, why not promote them?" Ma Jun didn't understand.
In Ma Jun's view, to create a good utensil, it must be used in the right place.
"These three things are very useful, but the principle is very simple, and they can be imitated at a glance." Lu Bu explained: "There is no war now, if it is leaked out early, it will make people
Enemies also become stronger. "
"We first build it secretly, then hoard it in the warehouse, keep it secret, and then take it out when we fight, it will definitely catch the enemy by surprise.
There is no awareness of patents these days. Once the old horse three-piece suit is seen, it is only a matter of time before it spreads, and it will not be long before everyone knows about it.
Ma Jun looked stunned, "Your official understands."
"Get a set for Chitu first, then go to Jia Xu and ask him to assign you some craftsmen, and you will lead the craftsmen to make harnesses in secret." After Lu Bu made the arrangements, he did not forget to mention
Xing said: "The harnesses are made by craftsmen, and you are in charge of supervision. Your focus should still be on research."
"Your official understands." Ma Jun bowed to accept the order, "General, the special carriage you want has also been built, but it is parked outside the General's mansion because it is too big."
Just as Lu Bu was about to end the conversation, he saw Jia Xu coming in a hurry.
"My lord, something has happened."
"Zhang Lu in Hanzhong stole 30% of our silk, and threatened to charge tolls, and he would have to collect it every time he passed by, or he would cut off our connection with Shuzhong.
