Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 154: Detaining People

Not long after the Battle of Jieqiao in Jizhou, Yuan Shao originally wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue it, but he failed to attack for a long time. He was worried that the rear would be damaged. Gongsun Zan was defeated again in Longcou, and the two sides won each other, evenly matched. Yuan Shao was worried that Yuan Shu would take the opportunity to attack, and Gongsun Zan was also worried about Liu Yu, so they didn't dare to fight with all their strength.

"My lord, there is a happy event!" Xu You came to the army with an edict, and said loudly with a smile before it was recorded.

good thing?

Yuan Shao felt a little displeased when he heard the words. Although it was a win-win situation on the frontal battlefield, Gongsun Zan seized the Bohai Sea and stretched his hand to Qingzhou. Yuan Shao is now half surrounded, and he really doesn't know what happy event is worth being so happy about. .

I always feel that Xu You is mocking himself.

"What happy event makes Ziyuan so happy?" Yuan Shao asked with a smile, suppressing the evil fire in his heart.

"Imperial imperial edict!" Xu You smiled as he handed the edict in his hand to Yuan Shao.

"Edict?" Yuan Shao frowned. Before, he wanted to unite the princes to support Liu Yu as emperor, and completely abandon the Guanzhong court to do it alone. However, not only Liu Yu sternly refused, but even Cao Cao flatly refused, which made Yuan Shao very unhappy but helpless. Now After receiving the edict sent by the imperial court, this anger was rekindled.

"That's right." Xu You sensed that Yuan Shao's mood was not in a good mood, so he didn't dare to show off any more, and said with a smile, "My lord, this is the edict that the imperial court canonize the lord as a general. With this edict in hand, the lord can command the world!"

"General?" Yuan Shao was startled when he heard the words, and then he opened the edict to read it carefully. It was indeed the edict that canonized him as a general. He frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he snorted coldly and said, "Then Lu Bu is a good planner." Calculate!"

Tian Feng frowned and said: "This is a conspiracy. My lord's failure to accept it is a crime of disobedience to the emperor, and secondly, it will also make my lord lose this opportunity. Even if I support others to proclaim myself emperor, I may not be able to gain this power." "However, if you accept it, you will be telling the people of the world that your lord honors the court of Chang'an, and that invisibly, you are a head shorter than Lu Bu."

"My lord is following the emperor's edict, not Lu Bu's order. As far as I know, Lu Bu is no more than an official and guard at this time. It seems that Lu Bu is quite self-aware~" Xu You laughed disdainfully.

"My lord, don't laugh at this man!" Tian Feng said after reading the bamboo slips: "This man is now in power in the court, but he can restrain his own desires and hand over the position of general, just to get the recognition of all the princes. The scheming and courage are extraordinary!"

"A reckless man!" Xu You obviously disagreed with this: "Brother Yuan Hao has never met him before. If you talk about fighting, this person is indeed brave and good at fighting, but if you talk about strategy and courage, it is really ridiculous!"

Yuan Shao nodded silently when he heard the words. He was impressed by Lu Bu at the beginning, but now he couldn't help sighing after hearing the words: "If this person can be used by me, why worry about the world being uncertain!?"

Outside the Hulao Pass, Lu Bu killed through the coalition forces twice, and almost forced the coalition forces to collapse at one point. If Lu Bu had been under his command, he might have won the fight against Gongsun Zan this time.

"Mr. Ziyuan is also a man of great wisdom. This kind of edict is not something a brave man can come up with." Tian Feng raised the edict, looked at Xu You and said.

"Naturally, there are some treacherous craftsmen who advise him!" Xu You said disdainfully.

"Brother Ziyuan, don't you understand?" Ju Shou said with a frown, "Even with the guidance of an expert, Lu Bu's courage to resolutely give up the position of general is beyond anyone's reach."

For a monarch, the most important thing is decisiveness. Being able to remain calm and decisive in the face of great interests and not be affected by greed is even more important than his own resourcefulness and bravery.

In the past, Lu Bu gave people the inherent impression of being able to fight and being a brave general, but once the edict came out, it would be inappropriate to say that Lu Bu was brave and foolish. This is not scolding Lu Bu, but scolding himself for being blind!

Yuan Shao nodded silently. Regarding this point, he also had to admit that he was somewhat regretful. Seeing everyone looking at him, Yuan Shao calmed down and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, the next thing is, it just so happens that Liu Yu doesn't want to be called emperor either. Although Lu Bu is brave, none of the generals under my command will lose to him!"

Yuan Shao had recruited a lot of strong generals in Jizhou during this period, Yan Liangwen earlier was ugly, Zhang He and Gao Lan under Han Fu's tent were also rare generals.

What's more, Ju Yi who just broke the white horse, no matter how powerful Lu Bu is, it is impossible for him alone to match the many fierce generals under his command.

"In addition, the imperial court also hopes that we can donate a batch of grain to the imperial court." Tian Feng frowned and looked at the content on the bamboo slips. Compared with the position of a general, any amount of grain seems cheap, and Lu Bu said that he only needed such a little What do you mean?

"It's just a little grain and grass. Send me an order to offer half a million stones of grain and grass to the court!" Yuan Shao said with a smile. There is a big river connecting Jizhou and Guanzhong, and it is also a very convenient transportation line. The Pubandu area may be directly sent to Tongguan. In short, although Guanzhong and Jizhou are separated by one state, in fact, in terms of transportation, the two places are easily connected.

Jizhou is not short of food now. Han Fu left Yuan Shao a large fortune. He was beaten by Gongsun Zan before and lost several battles in a row. The most important thing is Jizhou's abundant grain reserves and a population base of as many as five million.

The fight with Gongsun Zan this time seems to be evenly matched, and each other will win or lose, but Yuan Shao's losses will soon be made up, and Gongsun Zan's losses are really hurting!

"My lord, I think that this grain and grass can be delivered once, and it doesn't necessarily require tribute every year." Guo Tu reminded that half a million stones of grain and grass is not a small amount. If it is sent to Chang'an every year, Jizhou will also recruit Can't stand it.

Everyone glanced at him and ignored him. It's just a tacit understanding. There's no need to say it out. Do you really think Yuan Shaohui will give it every year?

Tian Feng suddenly laughed and said: "The position of General is given away so urgently, it seems that Lu Bu is quite short of food now."

Just like Dong Zhuo back then, many of the resources in Guanzhong were in the hands of the aristocratic family. Lu Bu was so anxious to ask for food, probably because the Guanzhong aristocratic family had already choked him.

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words. Indeed, with Lu Bu's background, they couldn't think of any other way for Lu Bu to turn the situation around. It might be a good way to exchange official seals for food. Didn't Lu Bu think too complicated? He just wanted to exchange official seals for food.

"It's not just my lord, as far as I know, Cao Mengde, Gongsun Zan, General Gao, and Tao Qian all have court awards." Xu You laughed.

"Maybe you picked it up?" Tian Feng asked with a smile.

Xu You glanced at Tian Feng, a little disgusted that this person took what Yuan Shao should have said, but still nodded, lest others think that he has no demeanor.

"My lord, although it is unlikely, Feng thinks that one should be cautious when dealing with Lu Bu!" Tian Feng smiled at Yuan Shao.

If Lu Bu had to exchange official seals just to solve the problem of food and grass, then Lu Bu was not a threat, but if there was no problem of food and grass, and if Lu Bu wanted to use these official seals to check and balance the princes, then Lu Bu would be a bit scary.

Yuan Shao just nodded, but after everyone said so, he didn't have much worry about Lu Bu.

Lv Bu sent many officials of the court to deliver the imperial edict, most of the princes were more polite, of course, no matter which group, there are always outliers.

Huainan, Shouchun.

"A certain book is the rear general. What is the difference between the left general and the rear general? Why do you need Lu Bu to seal it!?" Looking at the imperial edict, Yuan Shu was obviously very upset. Why is Yuan Shao a great general and he is a left general? Then Lu Bu is really bold! At the moment, he tore up the imperial edict without saying a word.

"Gaolu, even if you are not angry with Lu Bu, this is an imperial edict. What you do is disrespectful to the emperor!" Ma Rizun looked at the torn edict, his face a little ugly, and he said with anger.

"Edict of the Son of Heaven?" Yuan Shu sneered, "Is there a Jade Seal on this edict? If there is no jade seal, how can it be called the Edict of the Son of Heaven!?"

"The Jade Seal of Chuanguo was lost when the ten permanent servants rebelled. How can you have it? Besides, accepting this imperial edict is beneficial and harmless to you. Why are you tearing up your majesty's imperial edict so openly!?" Understand why Yuan Shu looks like this?

Yuan Shu looked at the imperial edict on the ground, then at Ma Rixun and said, "Then Lu Bu hasn't passed on the Imperial Seal either?"

"I've never seen him take it out." Ma Rixun shook his head.

Yuan Shu rolled his eyes, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "I'm not embarrassing the Grand Tutor, but I'm not angry that Lu Bu is in charge of the government. I heard that there are many complaints in Guanzhong. Why don't you gather the heroes of Guanzhong to attack Na Lu Bu?"

Ma Rixun looked at Yuan Shu suspiciously, shook his head and said, "It's not easy? Lü Bu holds a hundred thousand troops from Xiliang, and he also has the Bingzhou Army and the Forbidden Army as his minions. After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Guanzhong was already withered. Lv Bu was even more stupid when he entered the city." There are a large number of righteous men, and now many of them have been defeated by him and dare not fight with them. Now that we are traveling in the Central Plains, we also hope to recruit the heroes of the Central Plains to join us in defeating Lu Bu!"

"In this way, since the Grand Tutor is here, he will stay here for a while. Besides, he will also see if he is suitable before joining Sangong's sect. After I write to discuss with others, how to attack Na Lu Bu." Yuan Shu looked at the horse. Ridge said with a smile.

Now Yuan Shuruo is the most populous prince in the world in terms of population and military strength. Nanyang alone, even after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, still has a population of over one million. Yuzhou and Yangzhou are also populous states. The only prince with a population of tens of millions under his rule, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao combined can barely compare with it. He has reasons for being arrogant.

"Gaolu, the old man still wants to lobby other princes, I'm afraid..." Ma Rixun felt something was wrong and wanted to get out immediately.

"How dare you make the Grand Tutor work so hard, just stay in Shouchun, and wait until I call the princes from all over the world to come to see the Grand Tutor!" Yuan Shu couldn't help but say that since Ma Rixun came, he alone can conquest There are not many officials, and Yuan Shu can actually not have many official positions now. Now that Ma Rixun is here, how can we not squeeze out his value?

Even though Ma Rixun was dissatisfied, just like he had nothing to do with Lu Bu in Guanzhong, at this moment in Shouchun, he also had nothing to do with Yuan Shu, and could only be left behind by Yuan Shu in this almost coercive way...
