Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

When Lu Bu returned to Chang'an, the autumn harvest was coming to an end, and it was time to collect taxes in all aspects.

Counting money is a very happy thing, especially this time when I accompanied the emperor on a tour, I also accidentally uncovered a major case of a joint conspiracy of the Guanzhong gentry to conspire to rebel. Can't fit anymore.

After Lu Bu returned to the city, he ordered Ma Jun to lead craftsmen to build twelve huge granaries around Chang'an City. This year's tax alone is enough for next year's military expenditure, and what he got from the aristocratic family is just food and grass. It is enough for Lu Bu to train another army of 100,000.

However, Lu Bu's need for the army is not urgent now, because of the reform of the military system, in addition to the 100,000 elite, if necessary, Lu Bu can pull up a team from all over the place at any time. As long as there is enough food and grass, all men in Guanzhong can fight. It is impossible to pull up a million soldiers, so it will be difficult for Lu Bu to reproduce the population, and Lu Bu will not use this kind of power easily.

"Congratulations, my lord!" The Wei Wei Office was a little empty. During this period, many officials in the court were implicated a lot. As we all know, Lu Bu has zero tolerance for such things as betrayal, so it took a lot of effort to fill many court halls. , became empty again.

Lu Bu's Wei Wei Department is usually in charge of major and minor matters, but now half of the imperial court's government office has no one in charge. Before Lu Bu comes back, only the people in the Wei Wei Department can do it. So when Lu Bu came back, many people went out to handle errands , only Yang Xiu stayed in the government office bored, seeing Lu Bu, he was somewhat afraid.

He only found out after the fact that his father actually participated in this plan, but unlike last time, this time Hongnong Yang's Lv Bu didn't even touch him. Yang Xiu didn't think it was because of his own face or because of his family wealth. Give all the reasons to Lu Bu.

Although many times, when Lu Bu and Jia Xu commented on Yang Xiu, he said that he was only smart and not very wise, but it was only compared to their level.

In terms of intelligence, Yang Xiuruo has the potential to become a top strategist, but he is somewhat complacent, he likes to show off when he does things, he is not clear about things, etc., so he is always on the sidelines, but it cannot be denied that Yang Xiu's intelligence, he has the wisdom to see through people's hearts .

Lu Bu did not move the Yang family. The superficial reason may be that Yang Xiu worked for him, Yang Biao's reputation, and the Yang family's catering to Lu Bu's policies, but these were not the reasons why Lu Bu did not kill people!

The real reason is that Lu Bu wants to take this opportunity to provoke the relationship between the remaining scholars, giving people the illusion that the Yang family has completely fallen to Lu Bu, and even leading people to doubt what kind of role the Yang family played in this incident. Role!

At first Yang Xiu didn't think so, but Yang Biao figured it out. Although Lu Bu didn't touch the actual interests of the Yang family, he touched the most important thing of the Yang family...reputation!

It is conceivable that as long as Lu Bu shows some different care to the Yang family in the future, the Yang family will basically be confirmed as a traitor among scholars.

Four generations and three lords, the reputation accumulated over the past dynasties, not to mention being completely destroyed by Lu Bu, but it is no longer the glory of the past. It would be better if Yang Biao did not participate in this matter at the beginning. Even if Lu Bu took care of him later, everyone succumbed Yes, there is nothing wrong with the Yang family's soft clothes.

Yang Xiu once questioned Yang Biao why he did this without telling himself?

Yang Biao didn't answer, in fact even if he didn't answer, the reason is very simple, it is to leave a way for the Yang family, after all, Yang Xiu is considered as a person around Lu Bu, after the defeat, even if Yang Biao is unavoidable, Yang Xiu can also get out of this matter. ruled out.

It's just that Yang Biao didn't expect Lu Bu to use such a method. Although he didn't kill a single member of the Yang family, it destroyed the foundation of the Yang family!

It was precisely because of this that when seeing Lu Bu again at this moment, Yang Xiu seemed a little cautious and awed, and did not dare to look directly at Lu Bu.

"The person who took the big test this time hasn't left yet?" Lu Bu asked as he sat down and looked at Yang Xiu.

This time a lot of people were killed, and many places needed to be re-determined candidates. Yang Xiu, the number one in the two lists, and the top five in the remaining two lists are from Lu Bu's sect, which is still very bluffing.

The articles of these candidates will be published afterwards, so the scholars who participated in this assessment are somewhat self-aware.

"In this examination, there were 197 scholars who agreed with the rules set by the lord, but because of the chaos in Chang'an, 37 people left. Only one hundred and ninety-seven people were left after this examination. Sixty people." Yang Xiu bowed.

"One hundred and sixty people?" Lu Bu looked at Yang Xiu. Most of the people who left were people who wanted to show off. Showing off their power in front of Lv Bu, many people wanted to publicly reject Lv Bu's idea of ​​preventing Lv Bu from coming to power.

Unexpectedly, there was a mutiny that day, so that people who had this idea have not been able to achieve their wish so far.

Lu Bu believed that among the remaining 160 people, there must still be people who want to do this, but they just haven't waited.

After thinking for a while, Lu Bu said, "Among those scholars who failed the ranking, are there any left?"

"There are some, but these people's talents are not good..." Yang Xiu said at the end, seeing Lu Bu looking at him, his words were blocked, and he bowed obediently.

"Recruit them all, take the exam again, and make a more detailed ranking. When it comes time to select scholars, they will be ranked in order. I will get two hundred out of the five hundred." Lu Bu snorted coldly.

Most of those who left did not worry about their official careers, and Lu Bu did not plan to hire these people. The quality of poor families may be worse, but sometimes it is not necessary to be highly educated, especially grassroots officials.

Those with high ability can naturally be selected, and those with insufficient ability can spend more time at the grassroots level.

"Here!" Yang Xiu bowed respectfully to Lu Bu, and turned to take charge of the matter.

"My lord scared him." Jia Xu was holding the teapot, and the old god was sitting on the side. If he hadn't opened his mouth, it would be really hard for others to find him. The usual leisurely appearance does not match the painting style of Weiwei Mansion.

"I heard from Jin Rong that you have been in my residence these few days?" Lu Bu sat down, looked at Jia Xu and asked with a smile.

"Well, Xu is also worried that the thieves will plot against the lord's family." Jia Xu nodded with a smile.

Dian Wei on the side laughed and said, "Even if someone really plots something, what can you do?"

"Moving here to my lord, I can prevent the soldiers in the city from being distracted and protect me, and let the soldiers concentrate on fighting the enemy and thieves!" Jia Xu poured himself a pot of tea and said with a smile.

Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu and said with a smile, "That's right, we have indeed left a team of personal guards to protect you."

Jia Xu smiled and said: "In this way, there is no need to divide troops for protection, wouldn't it be better?"

Dian Wei said disdainfully: "Although I know you are timid, it is not easy to refute your words."

Lu Bu couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, nodded and said: "Let's not talk about these things, Mr. has stayed in Chang'an these days and has nothing to do, can you tell me what you think?"

experience?

Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu blankly, "My lord handled this matter properly, it's really hard for me to think of a better way than what my lord did."

This incident in Guanzhong was controlled by Lu Bu from the beginning to the end, no matter the scope of the conflict, the enemy's movements, or even the arrangement of who will be eliminated and who will not be eliminated in the end.

It’s not that as long as it’s related to this matter, Lu Bu will definitely kill him. Lu Bu’s killing spree this time depends on whether it’s useful to him. If it’s useful, even if it’s related, Lu Bu will stay, and if it’s useless or threatening , were basically cleared by Lu Bu.

After this battle, the scholars in Guanzhong were completely disabled, and the power of the scholars was no longer enough to threaten Lu Bu's control and rule of Guanzhong, whether it was economic, military or personal.

With Lu Bu using a large number of poor families, concubines, and Longxi gentry, the Guanzhong gentry no longer had a bargaining chip against Lu Bu in front of Lu Bu, and either obediently attached to Lu Bu, or went away.

Who said that this era must rely on scholars? Scholars are the most powerful existence in this world, but when it comes to life and death, they will become very weak.

"Don't play tricks." Lu Bu signaled Jia Xu to pour himself a glass too: "You and I have known each other for a short time, so why don't you ask Lao Dian to ask you with a sword?"

Dian Wei's eyes lit up, he looked at Jia Xu, and grinned.

"The lord is deceiving me!" Jia Xu was not afraid, if he said that Lu Bu would kill people at first, but now, it is impossible to really kill him, but it is impossible not to talk about it.

"Although the two Yuans are still facing each other in the Central Plains, the lord has not discovered that this Cao Cao is growing, and with the lord's defeat of Yuan Shu last year, not only did Yuan Shu lose his city and ground, but his momentum was not as good as before. Now Yuan Shao has At the beginning, he was busy competing with Gongsun Zan for Jizhou and Qingzhou, and had no time to look south. In order to restore his prestige, Yuan Shu would definitely fight Cao Cao. Now Tao Qian and Cao Cao are in constant conflict. Cao Cao is trapped between the two. , Cao Cao has the upper hand instead!"

Cao Cao?

Lu Bu nodded when he heard the words. He also noticed that Cao Cao, who was supposed to belong to Yuan Shao's vassal, now has the intention of breaking away from Yuan Shao as his strength continues to grow.

"Actually, when Yuan Shao wanted to make Liu Yu another emperor, there was already a secret rift between the two. It's just that Cao Cao didn't have the strength to turn against Yuan Shao at that time, so he just refused and didn't turn against Yuan Shao." Jia Xu continued.

"But if we let Cao Cao defeat Yuan Shu and occupy Yuzhou, it will be a serious disaster after he gains a firm foothold!" Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu and said solemnly.

As for whether Cao Cao could defeat Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, who had a real confrontation with Yuan Shu, had a good say. Yuan Shu is only a large territory and a large population, but his military equipment is lax, and after the defeat in Nanyang, he may be gradually eroded by Cao Cao.

Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu and said, "What I said is also related to this matter. It may be related to the future luck of the lord. I hope the lord will think about it carefully."

It was rare for Jia Xu to talk to Lu Bu in such a serious manner, and Lu Bu nodded and sat up straight: "Sir, it's okay to say it!"
