Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

"Sir, are you looking for me?" When Zhao Yun came to Xun You's residence, Xun You was drinking tea, and he stepped forward to salute Xun You.

"Yes." Xun You nodded, looked at Zhao Yun and said with a smile: "Today, my lord is going to send someone to the Western Regions to take over General Wen Yuan's guard."

Zhao Yun nodded, and looked at Xun You with some puzzlement. The Protector of the Western Regions is a high-ranking official, and it is fine to say that he is a high-ranking official in the frontier. What does this have to do with him?

It's been a while since I've been in Chang'an, and Zhao Yun is beginning to get used to the life here, it's quite comfortable, and it's good... Sigh.

"I recommend you to go to the Western Regions to my lord." Xun You put down his teacup, looked at Zhao Yun and said with a smile, "Go to my lord's place tomorrow. After my lord nods, I'm ready to go."

"My subordinate!?" Zhao Yun looked at Xun You in astonishment, somewhat incomprehensible: "Sir, do you think that the guardian of the Western Regions is qualified to take over?"

"You didn't know it when you came here. It was indeed a big event for the lord to order General Wen Yuan to go to the Western Regions. Now you have also seen that there are many vendors from the Western Regions in Chang'an City who came to sell or buy items. They brought a lot of benefits. In the past three years, Wen Yuan General Yuan has regained his prestige in the Western Regions. He is someone who can stand alone beside the Lord like Gao Shun and Xu Rong. Now that the major events in the Western Regions have been decided, naturally he cannot stay in the Western Regions for a long time. In fact, as long as the successor does not mess around, nothing big will happen, but For you, it is a rare opportunity." Xun You smiled.

Zhao Yun didn't answer, is there a chance? Perhaps, after all, this is a place that Lu Bu's confidants and generals look down on. If it is not a place of bitter cold and far away from the Central Plains, how could it be my turn?

But once you go out, when will you come back?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun couldn't help sighing. As a general, he actually wanted to show his strengths in this troubled world, but unfortunately...

"Then where is your Majesty..." Zhao Yun frowned and looked at Xun You and said, no matter what he said, he was also the emperor's man, and Liu Xie had to nod if he wanted to be sent out.

"You don't need to worry about this point. Your Majesty will take care of it properly." Xun You shook his head, but it was easier for Liu Xie.

Zhao Yun couldn't help smiling wryly when he heard the words, yes, he is a janitor, how could the emperor take it to heart, Lu Bu probably didn't hesitate when he spoke.

Now that I think about it back then, even Zhao Yun felt so worthless in his heart, but who can be blamed?

"Of course, whether to go or not is up to Zilong himself. If you don't want to go, I don't think my lord will force you." Xun You added with a smile.

But if this opportunity is missed, it will be very difficult for Zhao Yun to stand out again. Even if he is a Maxima, if he stays idle in Chang'an for a long time, his abilities will be ruined after a long time. Xun You still hopes that Zhao Yun will go.

Zhao Yun nodded silently, bowed to Xun You and said, "Thank you sir, Yun will consider it carefully."

No matter what, Xun You won this opportunity from Lu Bu. Zhao Yun was grateful for this kindness from the bottom of his heart.

"It's okay." Xun You poured him a cup of tea and said, "Drink tea."

Although there was no talk of bringing tea to see off guests, it was getting late and the business was over, so Zhao Yun should leave naturally. He drank the tea immediately and said to Xun You, "Sir, if there is nothing else, Yun Xian Farewell."

"Well, think about it carefully. In this life, there are not many opportunities to change your life." Xun You nodded, looked at Zhao Yun and smiled.

Zhao Yun nodded, saluted Xun You again, then turned and left.

Xun You looked at Zhao Yun's back, and he could feel his entanglement from Zhao Yun's words. In fact, there was nothing to be entangled in this matter. Most people could not refuse such an opportunity, but Zhao Yun really might refuse, but it is also possible. It is precisely because of his distinctive personality that Xun You looks at him differently. He doesn't want him to be buried here and serve as the emperor's gatekeeper. Alas... After all, he is still too young. If he has some scheming, even if he doesn't like it, he will It is also for you, so you should win over well. This is not only to win over Zhao Yun, but also to win over those who have a heart for the Han Dynasty.

It's a pity, Xun You feels that Liu Xie has lost a lot of things.

Zhao Yun returned home and thought about it all night. He figured it out. No matter what he wanted to do, it had no conflict with his going to the Western Regions. Chen Qun had also persuaded him to leave Chang'an when he found an opportunity. No matter where he went, it was all right for him. It's better than staying in Chang'an.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yun came to the Wei Wei Office to look for Xun You.

Lu Bu was sitting in the main hall looking through the files, and when he saw Zhao Yun approaching, he motioned to him and said, "Are you here?"

"Zhao Yun met Marquis Wen!" Zhao Yun saluted Lu Bu.

"There's no need to be polite, sit down!" Lu Bu pointed to the position where Jia Xu started, and motioned him to sit down.

"Thank you, Marquis Wen!" Zhao Yun thanked him, and sat down generously. Even if he was defeated by Lu Bu, he still looked very calm when facing Lu Bu.

"Gongda recommended you to go to the Western Regions." Lu Bu looked at Zhao Yun and asked with a smile, "If you become the Governor of the Western Regions, how will you manage the Western Regions?"

Zhang Liao has basically earned the reputation of the Protector of the Western Regions. Zhao Yun is good at martial arts, even better than Zhang Liao. Briefly, there is also an attitude towards the outside world.

"I have never been to the Western Regions, so I don't know how to manage it. All I can think of at this moment is to defend my territory without losing an inch, and not let others harm my people!" Zhao Yun clasped his fists at Lu Bu.

"This is the foundation, that's right." Lu Bu nodded. If Zhao Yun talked about how to govern, it would be a bit contemptuous. What the expert said before Lv Bu opened the Silk Road was some old sayings of both kindness and power. You, a person who only fought wars before and didn't even know the situation in the Western Regions, talked about how to govern...

This actually works in the Central Plains, because after so many years of integration in the Han Dynasty, governance and law enforcement are similar everywhere, but the Western Regions are different. This involves diplomacy and an understanding of the importance of the Western Regions. It can even be said that it is similar to other places in the Han Dynasty. Governance approaches are very different.

"But these are not enough." Lu Bu looked at Xun You.

Xun You nodded with a smile and said, "The Western Regions are not only the place where I communicate with other countries in the Western Regions, but also a source of income that belongs to me alone. My Dahan's silk, lacquerware, and today's tea are all very popular in the Western Regions. Speaking of silk, this tea needs to be exchanged for silver of equal weight in most places in the Western Regions. In addition, various gold, iron and other minerals from the Western Regions, as well as glazed lamps, will be transported to our dynasty through the Western Regions for exchange. This can be exchanged every year. The taxes brought to the court are worth the taxes of the entire Guanzhong, and the benefits of falling into the hands of the people are immeasurable."

It was obviously the first time Zhao Yun heard that the barbarian land in the Western Regions could bring so many things to the big man.

Xun You changed the subject: "If you want to rob these things, the small countries in the Western Regions can only hand over their wealth obediently, but my big man is a state of etiquette and will not bully the weak, so unless someone takes the initiative to provoke, don't take the initiative to go Interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, what we want to build is not only the prestige, but also the faith of our big man, so that more countries in the Western Regions are willing to do long-term trade with my big man!"

For long-term exchanges between countries, reputation is a must. This is also the purpose of Lu Bu after he opened up the Western Regions. Although Zhang Liao has fought many battles in the Western Regions in the past three years, but after all, every battle is famous. , beat you and make you kneel down and call daddy, that's what it means.

In short, Lu Bu's starting point for managing the Western Regions is a win-win situation. First, the big Han doesn't have to worry about occupying and governing those small countries. Take the silk and tea from Dahan and sell them to Dawan, Kangju and even further afield.

For these small countries in the Western Regions, this is tantamount to an opportunity to strengthen themselves. Of course, it is the big man who will benefit the most in the end. Not to mention other things, the taxes on buying these things are almost equivalent, that is to say, these things If you buy it back, if you can’t sell it for more than three times, you will lose money, but in fact, it is Dahan’s silk, newly released fried tea and lacquerware, which are also the most sought after existence in the big countries of the Western Regions. Paying ten times is just the foundation, and this is the key to so many businessmen from the Western Regions traveling all the way to Chang'an to do business.

But the premise of business prosperity is peace, and the Western Regions cannot be chaotic. If there are bandits and bandits everywhere, making the business environment extremely bad, then this business will not last long. This is also the reason why Zhang Liao is ruthless. Everything is based on peace. , but if someone dares to break this peace and challenge the dominance of the big man in the Western Regions, don't blame the big man for not being sympathetic.

This time the envoys from the Western Regions went to Chang'an, which also meant to form an alliance of the Western Regions. After all, most of the Western Regions are small countries with one city and one country. Lu Bu has no intention of meddling in the internal affairs of these small countries. If you want to maintain the peace of the Western Regions, you still have to rely on the cooperation of these countries. After Zhao Yun went to the Western Regions, the main thing to do was to maintain the alliance of the Western Regions, mediate disputes, and be able to integrate the soldiers and horses of all countries to fight together when a strong enemy comes. strong enemy.

This is to achieve the maximum effect at the minimum cost.

Xun You explained to Zhao Yun in detail the business philosophy of the Western Regions and why the Western Regions are important. In general, how to govern the Western Regions is in these words. At the end, Xun You looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, what I said What do you not understand?"

Zhao Yun shook his head, and looked at Lu Bu in amazement. While the princes were still fighting endlessly to carve up the world, Lu Bu had already set his sights on other than the big man, and had already made certain achievements. Based on this alone, Lu Bu is actually much stronger than the princes, not in strength, but in mind.

"The general understands a little bit. The main purpose is to maintain the stability of the countries in the Western Regions and protect the commercial roads, so that traders who go to and from the Western Regions can be guaranteed." Zhao Yun bowed to Lu Bu and said, "But the general does not understand how to operate."

"That's enough." Lu Bu looked at Zhao Yun and said with a satisfied smile, "After you go to the Western Regions, Wen Yuan will teach you the rest, and he will stay in the Western Regions for a year to help you gain a firm foothold before coming back. , follow him and study hard.”

Zhao Yun nodded silently, Xun You who was beside him suddenly smiled, looked at Zhao Yun and said with a smile: "My lord has entrusted this matter to you, when General Wen Yuan leaves the Western Regions, you will be the protector of the Western Regions, why don't you thank the lord? "

"Thank you, Marquis Wen!" Zhao Yun came back to his senses, and saluted Lu Bu gratefully.

"Do it well, I hope you can take charge of it earlier." Lu Bu noticed Zhao Yun's emotional changes, nodded upon hearing this, and signaled Zhao Yun to prepare as soon as possible. The imperial edict was ready. After he settled his family members, he should get up.

"Farewell, the last general!" Zhao Yun bowed solemnly to Lu Bu before retreating!
