Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

After Yuan Tan heard the news, he sat down slumped, his originally straight waist suddenly collapsed, and murmured: "Impossible, how could Yehou be defeated? There are four generations and three princes of the Yuan family, and there are many disciples and old officials.

In the world, Lu Bu is just a vulgar warrior."

"Impossible, you must be deceiving me, Zang Ba. How dare you deceive me like this? Someone, come and drag Zang Ba out and behead him in public." Yuan Tan yelled hysterically.

The generals on the field seemed to look at Yuan Tan with some pity. When they arrived in Kaiyang, they dared to be so arrogant. It must be said that Yuan Tan was too confident in himself.

"Come here, imprison Yuan Tan and all the soldiers accompanying him." Zang Ba said coldly. Since Yuan Tan arrived, he has been putting up with Yuan Tan, mainly because he is worried that Yuan Tan's soldiers will be there.

He fought hard at the last moment, otherwise, he would have controlled Yuan Tan outside the city.

After receiving the order, the two soldiers dragged Yuan Tan down from his position at the top.

Yuan Tan seemed to have not reacted to the sudden change, his eyes were dull. The news of Yuan Shao's defeat and death obviously had a great impact on him. Yuan Shao was Yuan Tan's last hope for rise. Yuan Shao died.

This means that the Yuan family's power will disappear from the princes.

The soldiers who accompanied Yuan Tan were controlled by Zang Ba, who was well prepared. After being defeated, these soldiers had long lost their morale. They followed Yuan Tan to Kaiyang just to gain prestige, but who knew they would fall into the hands of Zang Ba?

In Ba's hands.

The reason why Yuan Tan is controlled is for Shanyang Hou and to get rid of suspicion. If Yuan Tan is killed and the head is sent to Lu Bu, Cao Cao will definitely have suspicions. If it is sent to Yanzhou, there won't be too many problems. Even if

It was Cao Cao who was suspicious, but he couldn't find any reason.

Chen Gong said: "Now that Yuan Shao has been defeated and killed, as long as the Marquis of Jin stabilizes Qingzhou and looks at the world, who is his opponent? He only needs to defeat the princes one by one, and he will surely be able to unify the world in the future."

Zang Ba nodded and said: "The Marquis of Jin is a hero, and the Marquis of Jin treats the people generously and pacifies the princes. It is not a bad thing for the people."

The next day, Yuan Tan was pushed out and executed, and Zang Ba also announced to the public the evil deeds that Yuan Tan had done after he led his army into Langxie. After hearing this, the people naturally denounced Yuan Tan's behavior.

Not long after Yuan Tan left for Kaiyang, Gumu's guard Yin Li invited Du Shen, a general under Yuan Tan's command, to go to the city for a banquet. Du Shen did not have the slightest doubt about this and went happily. He was controlled by Yin Li and lost his general.

After that, the army outside the city was controlled by Yin Li.

Since then, the power of the Yuan family has been basically eliminated, and the Yuan family has withdrawn from the stage of competing for world hegemony.

After the war in Qingzhou ended, Lu Bu received intelligence from other princes, and was particularly concerned about Cao Cao's attack on Jingzhou. Through Cao Cao's attack on Jingzhou, Lu Bu saw the princes' determination to develop their own strength, and the strength of heavy cavalry and heavy infantry.

The appearance of Zhuge Liang shows that the importance of elite soldiers has reached an unprecedented level, and the heavy cavalry in Cao's army also showed a strong side on the battlefield in Jingzhou. Even though Zhuge Liang was very resourceful, he was crushed by such strength.

, but there is no way.

Different from history, Liu Bei had already captured Yizhou at this time. Even after the defeat on the battlefield in Jingzhou, the army could still withdraw to Yizhou. Yizhou was easy to defend and difficult to attack. He only needed to send soldiers to garrison the pass.

Just wait and see the changes in the world, but losing Jingzhou means that the development of Yizhou will be greatly restricted. Although Jingzhou is the place of the Fourth War, it is extremely wealthy. There is a completely different difference between occupying Jingzhou and losing Jingzhou.

Meaning, with Jingzhou, Liu Bei can use Jingzhou as a springboard in the future battlefield to compete in the Central Plains. If Jingzhou is lost and Yizhou cannot achieve great development, Yizhou will most likely become Liu Bei's final burial place.

place.

"Fengxiao, in your opinion, what are the chances of victory for Cao's army in attacking Jingzhou?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

Guo Jia said without hesitation: "Cao's army will definitely be able to defeat the Jingzhou army, unless something else happens. Now that my lord has captured Qingzhou and eliminated Yuan Shao's forces, he will not attack Xuzhou or Yanzhou in a short time. Those who can help Liu Bei fight against Cao Cao

There is only Jiangdong, and Sun Ce has coveted Jingzhou for a long time and is probably waiting for the opportunity to invade Jingzhou. If Liu Bei cannot send troops to rescue from Yizhou in time, Jingzhou will inevitably be captured by Cao's army."

"After Cao Cao conquers Jingzhou, his strength will be greatly improved, and he will definitely be my powerful enemy in the future." Lu Bu sighed.

Guo Jia laughed and said: "Now my lord has occupied Sili, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Hanzhong, and the foreigners on the grassland have surrendered. He has more than ten thousand elite cavalry under his command. Who can stop the princes? As long as the lord is willing, Xuzhou can be conquered."

It goes without saying that although Cao Cao occupies a wealthy land, his rule is not stable."

"This is not just the case under Cao Cao's rule, but also under my rule. In recent years, I have expanded my territory too fast, and the number of aristocratic families has increased." Lu Bu said.

"My lord, the aristocratic family has nothing to fear. As long as the schools in various places are built and the lord treats the people with generosity, he will surely win the support of the people." Guo Jiadao, the closer to the end, the more benefits brought by the support of the people will be reflected.

At the same time, it also gave Guo Jia a deeper understanding of Lu Bu's original sentence "Water can carry a boat but also capsize it." The power of the people is powerful, but when their power does not really explode, it seems that nothing is happening.

Weak people can only be manipulated by the rulers, but when they are united together they will become strong.

"In fact, after Cao Cao conquered Jingzhou, it was good news for the lord. Now the Han Dynasty has no influence among the princes. After Cao Cao conquered Jingzhou, even if he supported Liu He and became the new emperor, it would be difficult to recover.

In the past, the dignity of the Han Dynasty was such that the lord could take the opportunity to declare himself king." Guo Jia said slowly.

Lu Bu's expression condensed. In the eyes of the Han people, claiming the title of king is absolutely treasonous. Ever since Liu Bang's White Horse Oath, whenever a king with a different surname appears in the world, they will all attack him. This has become an iron rule of the Han Dynasty. However, with Lu Bu now

In terms of strength, as long as the rule is stabilized from this war, even if he becomes king, it will only attract verbal criticism from the scholars at most.

"It will not be too late to discuss this matter then." Lu Bu said: "Now that Youzhou is stable, it is enough to have Chen Tian in Youzhou. Fengxiao can stay with me for the time being."

"Here." Guo Jia cupped his hands and said. When his strength develops to a certain level, even if Lu Bu disagrees with becoming king, his soldiers will not agree either. Their strength makes them need an ambitious monarch.
