Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies

Chapter [162] Lu Bu's Imperial Foundation

Above the main hall, all civil and military officials have different expressions.

The officials under Lu Bu were all full of expectations, hoping that Lu Bu could make further progress.

Officials loyal to the Han Dynasty looked angry, worried that they dared not refute, lest they would lead to death.

The emperor Liu Xie was obsequious, Cai Yong was worried, and Jia Xu was expressionless.

"Okay, I'm already a minister, so don't bring this up again in the future." Lu Bu's tone was firm.

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, but they didn't expect that Lu Bu would refuse directly, while Cai Yong and the imperial party officials breathed a sigh of relief.

Ignoring the thoughts in these people's minds, Lu Bu left the palace in stride.

"What's going on? Why did the general refuse?"

"That's right, does the general really want to be a loyal minister?"

"It's over, don't you want to return power to the emperor?"

Lu Bu's attitude made these subordinates panic for a while. If they want to return the power to the emperor one day, how can they end well?

"Why don't you ask the general what he means?"

"good."

A large group of people planned to catch up with Lu Bu and ask Lu Bu what his plan was.

"Ahem!" Jia Xu coughed, attracting everyone's attention.

When Li Su saw that it was Jia Xu, his eyes lit up, "Mr. Wen He, what does General Yin mean?"

"What are you panicking about?" Jia Xu scolded with a dark face, "A group of killers who don't know how to behave, do you understand the three words?"

04 "My lord is already an extremely human minister, if I go one step further, I can only be named a duke."

"And there is no title of duke in the rank of titles in the Han Dynasty. If you want to be called a duke, you must be prepared. It's not something you can do with a bunch of reckless fools."

Li Su suddenly realized when he heard the words, and said: "We persuaded you to enter three times, and then the general resigned three times."

"In the end, I said that I can't refuse, and I can't go against the will of the public, so I reluctantly call it public. Is this what you mean?"

"A child can be taught." Jia Xu nodded, "But every time you persuade him to come in, you have to wait a while. You can't persuade him to come in consecutively, or you will be criticized."

"How long?" Li Su asked impatiently.

"I will notify you when the time comes, let's all disperse." Jia Xu said to disperse the crowd.

"Alas~" Jia Xu slowly shook her head, "It won't take long."

Jia Xu knows that Lu has no intention of going further, but wants to continue to develop in a low-key way so as not to attract attention with a high profile.

But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing. Whether to go further is no longer a matter for Lu Bu's personal will to decide. This is a major matter involving the interests of everyone in the entire Lu Bu Group.

Jia Xu quickly left the palace and headed towards the General's Mansion.

As soon as Lu Bu arrived at the General's Mansion, Jia Xu followed him.

"Mr. Wen He is here, what can I do?" Lu Bu couldn't help asking.

The court meeting has just ended. Normally, Jia Xu should stay in the palace to deal with Zhengdou.

"My lord, it's about persuading me."

"Isn't it? Mr. Wen He came to persuade us?" Lu Bu was surprised: "Building high walls, accumulating food widely, and becoming king slowly, this is the strategy we formulated at the beginning."

"I have reached the rank of county marquis, and I am an extremely human minister. If I go one step further, I will definitely be called a public servant."

"Once I am proclaimed public, this matter will definitely push me to the forefront, and the imperial party in the court will become more and more dissatisfied with me, and other princes may use this as an excuse to attack me.

"Internal dissatisfaction, external prying eyes, I don't want to follow Dong Zhuo's footsteps, I should keep a low profile and develop with peace of mind.

"My lord, I know all these humble positions." Jia Xu sighed, "But my lord also has to consider the feelings of the people below."

"You refused to go any further, and your attitude was firm. The people below thought you were going to be a loyal minister, and when the emperor became an adult, you would return to the Han Dynasty.

Lu Bu's face froze when he heard the words, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

Whether to go further is not only related to the interests of Lu Bu and his subordinates, but also has the effect of enhancing cohesion.

Only when the people below see Lu Bu's continuous progress can they have a head start, and they will stick to Lu Bu to the end.

And if Lu Bu doesn't move forward, then these subordinates might as well burn the cold stove of the emperor now, why should they follow Lu Bu?

"It would be bad if that's the case." Lu Bu said slowly.

"My lord, don't worry, I have persuaded them before I came. 17

"How to persuade?" Lu Bu hurriedly asked.

"Three concessions and three resignations." Jia Xu smiled bitterly: "This is also a strategy of delay, and it cannot solve the problem from the root."

"People's hearts must not be scattered!" Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "Let's wait for a while to see the situation, if the matter really can't end, then we can only cater to everyone's wishes and call it public.

"Although there is no duke in the Han Dynasty, at least it is not a duke, so it should not cause too much trouble." Jia Xu echoed.

"I hope so." Lu Bu said helplessly, "Why do things always backfire?"

"My lord has done a good job. From the humble point of view, we only need another five years of steady development before my lord can lead an army out of customs and sweep the world, unstoppable." Jia Xu smiled and stroked his beard.

The current situation in Lu Bu is very good. Hanzhong and Bashu are used as granaries, coupled with the development of Ningxia Plain and Houtao Plain, and the effect of increasing production by keel waterwheels is invincible in agriculture.

The Qiantao Plain is grazing every year, and a large number of livestock are expropriated from the Qiang people every year. The animal husbandry is also unmatched.

The development of agriculture can make Lu Bu have more troops, and the development of animal husbandry can make Lu Bu have more cavalry.

"By the way, why didn't you see Ma Jun?" Lu Bu asked.

"Tian Gonghou never went to court, and has been hiding in the general supervisor to study tools, and I haven't seen him for a long time in my humble position." Jia Xu replied.

"Then don't worry about him. Let him work on it slowly." Chuanbu said casually.

A single keel waterwheel is enough for Ma Jun to live a lifetime of credit.

Lu Bu will not urge Ma Jun now, he just needs to wait quietly.

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

"Brother, those two boys, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, are not real." Zhang Fei said seriously, "There are seven counties in Jingzhou, why do they occupy four and we only have one?"

"Third Brother, don't talk nonsense." Before Liu Bei could speak, Guan Yu reprimanded him.

Liu Bei chuckled and said, "Third Brother doesn't know, Jingbei is the core. Even though we only occupy three counties, we actually took advantage of it."

"Whether it is population or arable land area, Jingbei is far better than Jingnan." Liu Bei said with emotion: "If Nanyang is in its heyday, a single county alone is worth the entire Jingnan.

The current Jingnan is still a barren land, with very little cultivated land, and there are various barbarian tribes.

As the largest county in the world, Nanyang is also the birthplace of Liu Xiu. It is known as the hometown of the emperor, and it was listed as the peak of the southern capital, which was larger than the total population of the four counties in Jingnan.

"Oh..." As soon as Zhang Fei heard that his family had taken advantage of it, he immediately shut up without any comment.

"But although we took advantage, we also took risks." Guan Yu said: "Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's purpose is to manage the Yangtze River natural moat, and we are located on the north bank, no doubt for them to resist the threat from the north."

"Where there is gain, there must be loss. It is impossible for our brothers to take all the benefits. That is too unreasonable." Liu Bei didn't care much about this.

"My lord, I heard that Lu Bu has seized the middle of Shu." Sun Qian said at the side.

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere became dull in an instant. Obviously, the three brothers hated this name extremely.

Zhang Fei touched his ears subconsciously, with hatred on his face.

Thanks to Lu Bu, Zhang Fei lost an ear, and Liu Bei lost his identity as a Han clan.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu came hand in hand.

"We won the battle, why don't the 837 gentlemen seem to be very interested?" Sun Ce couldn't help but wondered.

Liu Bei forced a smile, stood up and said, "Bo Fu is here, sit down.

After everyone was seated, Zhou Yu said, "You all must be in a bad mood because Lu didn't take over the affairs of Sichuan, right?"

The three of Liu, Guan and Zhang were silent, no doubt acquiescing to Zhou Yu's statement.

"Everyone, now is not the time to feel sorry for yourself. It's time to think about how to contain Lu Bu." Zhou Yu said seriously.

"Gongjin means..." Liu Bei didn't understand.

"Duke Xuande is a relative of the Han family, but does Emperor Gao understand?" Zhou Yu asked suddenly.

"This is natural." Liu Bei said without hesitation, as a younger generation, how could he not know his ancestors? Liu Bei knows Liu Bang's deeds very well.

"Then how did Emperor Gao win the world?"

"Rise up to fight against Qin, win the title of King of Han, openly build plank roads, cover Chen Cang secretly, and return to Sanqin..." Liu Bei stopped talking.

Liu Bang was granted the title of King of Han at the beginning, and his territory was Hanzhong and Bashu. Later, he sent troops to take down Guanzhong, which is exactly the same as Lu Bu's territory now.

"It seems that Duke Xuande also realized that Lu Bu now has Gaozu's original foundation." Zhou Rong said.

Qin State owned Guanzhong at the beginning, and then went south to occupy Hanzhong and Bashu.

And Liu Bang owned Hanzhong and Bashu, and went north to take Guanzhong.

Although the process is different, the result is the same. The foundations of emperors in Qin and Han Dynasties were all built on this foundation, and now Lu Bu already has this foundation.

"But we are alone and alone, even if you and I work together, we can't defeat Lu Bu, so what can we do?" Liu Bei sighed again and again.

"We can be with..."

Before Zhou Yu finished speaking, a soldier came in a hurry.

"Report!"

"Cao Cao's envoy came to ask for an audience."

Zhou Yu smiled when he heard the words, "It seems that someone thought of me together.".
