Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Guanzhong is developing step by step in the direction Lu Bu expects according to Lu Bu's plan. Although there will inevitably be some twists and turns along the way, there will generally be no problems.

Lu Yong's departure did not attract too many people's attention in Chang'an. After all, Lu Bu often took his son out for a long time. Maybe in addition to Wang Yi as his mother, there were also Yan family and Diao Chan who watched him grow up. Besides, no one would really care about the whereabouts of Mr. Lu.

Western Region, Jiaohe City.

"Zhao Yun, I have met the young master." Looking at the young man in front of him, Zhao Yun suddenly felt old. How long has he been here, and Lu Bu's son is already this old?

But thinking about his two sons, Zhao Yun felt relieved. He had lived in the Western Regions these years and maintained the balance of the Silk Road. After fighting the Wusun War, his status in the Western Regions had been established. Over the years, , except for the occasional Xianbei people who came to harass, there were almost no major battles. The biggest one was when Kang Ju dishonestly came to test, and Zhao Yun chased him all the way to Kang Ju's territory.

During this period, Xun You betrothed a daughter of the Xun family to Zhao Yun. Although the girl was from a commoner family, she was virtuous and sensible. Not only did she help Zhao Yun give birth to two sons, but she also kept the house in order. In a blink of an eye, he and Zhang Liao were far away from each other. Several years have passed since the great defeat of Wusun. Zhao Yun suddenly saw Lu Bu's son at this time, and Zhao Yun was a little emotional.

Although Lu Yong's appearance is not as impactful as Lu Bu's, and his outline is softer, you can see the shadow of Lu Bu in him at a glance, but he is more restrained.

"Yong is still white now. The general has been guarding the country for ten years. He is the backbone of my man. How can I bow to you as a general!?" Lu Yong quickly supported Zhao Yun, then saluted Zhao Yun and said with a smile: "I The Lu family can be considered a family of generals, and the ones they admire the most are military heroes like the generals."

"Young Master Muzan, how can Yun be considered a hero? Don't stand here, quickly enter the city!" Zhao Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Why don't you count it?" Lu Yong said with a smile as he walked: "Although Yong has never seen the bravery of a general, Uncle Wen Yuan can think highly of his father, and he must be a hero when guarding a side. He praised the general to his father in letters more than once. In the past, the general and Uncle Wenyuan defeated Wusun's one hundred thousand horsemen. Thinking about it now, Yongdu wishes he had been born ten years earlier. Even if he is just a pawn in front of the two generals, it will be a lifetime comfort to fight side by side with the two generals."

"Young Master, you praise me." Zhao Yun just smiled calmly. After so many years, he felt that it would be good to be like General Gongsun and guard the border for the Han Dynasty. From the letters between Zhang Liao and Xun You, he could feel that the imperial court was under the governance of Lu Bu. The more it continues to grow, the less willing he is to go back.

What can I do when I go back? Help the emperor fight Lu Bu? Or help Lu Bu?

One is a minister of Zhongxing, and the other is the head of the Han Dynasty. Neither Zhao Yun is willing to stand on the opposite side, but he has a vague feeling that the two are likely to stand on opposite sides in the future.

Now that Lu Yong said this, it was true that he was kind to others, but wasn't it a kind of solicitation? Zhao Yun could only pretend that he didn't understand.

Lu Yong traveled to Dawan this time. Although he was not escorted by a large army, he could not be without guards. In addition to Dianman and Zhang Hu, there were also 300 guards accompanying him. These guards were Lu Bu's guards, and Lu Bu personally Those who have been trained are brave and good at fighting, well-equipped, and proficient in coordination. As long as the terrain is suitable, they can protect Lu Yong from breaking through even when facing thousands of troops.

"General, have you ever thought about returning to Chang'an?" Lu Yong followed Zhao Yun to Zhao Yun's residence. In the living room, he couldn't help but ask: "There is a huge difference between Chang'an now and ten years ago."

Zhao Yun said with some emotion: "Ten years have passed before I knew it. Over the years, Yun has heard from merchants from the Western Regions how prosperous Chang'an is. If you say you don't want to, it would be a lie. I'm just used to the climate in the north of the Great Wall. Returning to the Central Plains will inevitably feel uncomfortable." "Besides, although it is bitterly cold in the Western Region, the people here may need me more. In a few years, I will retire and return home."

As the Protector of the Western Regions, Zhao Yun's rank is actually not low. In the Western Regions, not only does he have a 1,500-strong Han army at his disposal, but when necessary, he can also mobilize the armies of all the Western Regions to fight. If he is willing, this silk He could get involved in many of the profits from the road, but over the years, Zhao Yun had never exploited him at all, whether it was merchants from the Western Regions or Han merchants, and for this reason, Zhao Yun was quite popular in the Western Regions.

Lu Yong chatted with Zhao Yun for a long time, and after roughly understanding Zhao Yun's thoughts, he began to talk about the business: "General Zilong, I went to the Western Regions this time because of my father's order to go as an envoy to Dayuan. Dayuan has recently joined the army. General Zilong should know about the customs duties collected from our Han merchants."

Zhao Yun nodded, he naturally knew about this matter, but it involved diplomatic relations, and he could not take action against Dawan without permission from the court. After all, they only imposed additional tariffs, but did not invade the Western Regions.

"I am here just to resolve this matter. I hope that General Zilong can send a few people here who are proficient in Dawan language. Although there are some in the imperial court, there are not many after all. They have to communicate with the imperial court. Inconvenience caused, I I think there should be quite a few here, right?" Lu Yong looked at Zhao Yun and smiled.

Originally, he wanted to win over this person, but Zhao Yun's attitude was very clear. Lu Yong also gave up this idea, but after making good friends with Zhao Yun, he talked about this serious matter.

"This is not difficult. There are people under Yun's command who are proficient in the languages ​​​​of Dayuan, Guishuang, and Kangju, so let them accompany him. In addition, in terms of protection..." Zhao Yun thought about how many people should be sent to accompany him.

"There is no need for guards. My father has sent 300 guards to accompany us. This trip is not a war. Bringing too many people will make Dawan people wary." Lu Yong said with a smile.

Zhao Yun, the guard brought by Lu Yong, has naturally seen it before. It is indeed a rare elite. Both its momentum and behavior are extremely rare. Even the white horse Yi Cong in the past may not be able to compare.

"After all, you have to be careful. Although Dawan has been defeated several times, in the end, it will be seen that their hearts are still more towards Kushan. After all, they are closest to Kushan, they look similar, and even their words are more similar to that of Kushan. Close." Zhao Yun said solemnly.

"Thank you General, but as long as he doesn't dare to openly declare war with me, my nephew should still be safe." Lu Yong said with a smile. His talent in leading troops was average. This is why Lu Bu sent Zhang Hu beside him, but this The first time we came out was not for fighting.

When Zhao Yun heard this, he didn't say much and entertained Lu Yong all night. Early the next morning, Lu Yong set out with his men, and Zhao Yun sent them all the way to Shule.

"Sir, after passing Shule, there is Wuji City. After passing Wuji City, we still need to walk more than three hundred miles to get to Dawan. To the west is the border of Dawan. To avoid causing disputes, I won't send you off any more. However, I will stay in Shule City and wait for the return of the young master. If the Dawan royal family dares to act arrogantly, I will ask the young master to send someone to report it immediately, and I will personally welcome the young master back!" Zhao Yun saluted Lu Yong.

"Thank you for your kindness, general." Lu Yong knew that even if he asked Zhao Yun to leave at this time, Zhao Yun would probably not leave. He nodded immediately, said goodbye to Zhao Yun, passed Shule, and headed all the way to Dawan under the leadership of his guide. .

Looking at the disappearing figures of Lu Yong and his group, Zhao Yun sighed and had to admit that Lu Yong had an unspeakable affinity that made people want to get close unconsciously. His words were intimate yet majestic. To use a popular saying, this boy has the air of a king.

The power of Lu Bu's tiger is still there, and the young tiger is already showing its majesty... alas~

On the other hand, after Lu Yong arrived in Dawan, he went directly to see the Dawan royal family. Although he intended to embarrass the Han people, the Dawan royal family did not dare to neglect Lu Bu's son.

I never expected that the people sent by the other party would directly question him. The Dawan royal family really did not dare to do anything to Lu Yong. The Guishang and Dawan coalition forces that Zhang Liao killed in anger were defeated, and they have not recovered yet. Come on, if Lu Bu's son is offended now, Dawan is worried that the country will be destroyed.

In the end, they could only shirk the idea that this was Kushan's intention. It was hard for them to offend Kushan, a big country.

Lu Yong naturally knew that this matter could not be solved with a few words of questioning, so he immediately proposed to station in Dawan to solve the matter, and at the same time contact the Western Regions and Han people who came to Dawan to do business.

Under Lu Yong's control, just like Lu Bu manipulated prices in the simulation game with Lu Bu, Lu Yong also successfully used prices to make the people of Dawan give up farming and grazing. In nearly two years, not only did Dawan's grain output decrease , the number of herders in the northern part of Kushan was also much smaller, and they suddenly revolted, abandoning trade with Dawan on the grounds that the tariff was too high, and the supply of grain used for trade every year was suddenly cut off.

Suddenly, Dawan and northern Kushan fell into famine.

The nobles in Guishan City suddenly became panicked and quickly wanted to lower the tariff, but Lu Yong refused. This delayed for half a year. A large number of people died of starvation in Dawan. At the same time, northern Guishang was also caught in a chaotic war, and they no longer had time to take care of Dawan. .

There was a food shortage in Dawan and chaos broke out in the territory. The nobles had no choice but to turn to the Han Dynasty for help. However, Lu Yong did not agree this time. The nobles could only continue to improve their conditions and were willing to permanently abandon the tariffs on the Han Dynasty, halve the tariffs on the countries in the Western Regions, and After offering many supplies in the next five years, Lu Yong relented.

The merchants from various countries and wealthy Han merchants who sold the hoarded grain to Dayuan at a high price not only made up for their previous losses, but also made a fortune, admired Lu Yong very much.

He almost crippled Dawan in such a quiet moment, which was really eye-opening.

Lu Yong was not too happy about this. At this moment, he understood better why Lu Bu was so guarded against businessmen. The leftover things he had played with hundreds of years ago, but now he brought them to Dawan, and he still almost let Dawan suffer. To destroy a country, if he learned all the methods his father used, he would even have the confidence to kill the Kushans as well. What if a wealthy merchant uses these methods to attack the big man? How about threatening the court by relying on the resources at hand?

Thinking of the moves his father used in the simulation game, all Lu Yong feels now is a chill down his spine...
