Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

"My lord, if Yuan Zhi doesn't give it to me, then why don't you give me this ugly one?" Hua Xiong glanced at Xu Shu next to Lu Bu. Yesterday, Lu Bu brought Xu Shu and Pang Tong over. Hua Xiong chatted with this young man for a while. He wanted Xu Shu to keep accounts and manage logistics for him, but Lu Bu naturally refused. Since Xu Shu couldn't do it, then... the humble Pang Tong should be fine, right?

Pang Tong: "..."

"Didn't I give you a few chief registrants? Not enough?" Lu Bu frowned and looked at Hua Xiong. What's wrong with him always asking for people?

"Forget it, I was caught during the last corruption investigation." Speaking of this, Hua Xiong became a little depressed. When officials from the court checked the accounts, he found out that he had embezzled military pay for no reason.

Thanks to Hua Xiong being a close confidant of Lu Bu, Fa Yan, who was in charge of the matter, came from Chang'an to inquire about the matter. After an investigation, he found out that the bookkeepers were secretly deducting military pay and rations through Hua Xiong's neglect of accounts. If I were to change someone else, I'm afraid it would be Hua Xiong who was arrested instead of those chief bookkeepers.

It is precisely because of this that after Fa Yanzhu investigated many cases, he really caught a lot of fish that slipped through the net. Sometimes the brats around officials may be more greedy than the officials, but people like Hua Xiong were manipulated by his subordinates for money and food. This was the only case under Lu Bu's rule that someone had cheated him so thoroughly. Even his own salary was bypassed.

Hua Xiong felt that the people around his lord were more reliable, so after Lu Bu came over this time, he immediately wanted to ask Lu Bu for someone to help him manage his accounts and logistics.

"Although I can't give it to you, Deheng will come in a few days, and Yuan Zhi will stay here to help you." Lu Bu shook his head.

"Is this true?" Hua Xiong looked at Lu Bu in astonishment, and then looked at Xu Shu. Isn't this young man incompetent? He looked at Pang Tong: "How about leaving this ugly one to the last general?"

Xu Shu: "..."

Pang Tong touched his face. He admitted that he was not as handsome as Zhuge Liang or Xu Shu, but if he said he was ugly, then he would pass it by, right? How does he view people?

Lu Bu was also a little speechless: "I won't give it to you, so why would you dislike it if I gave it to you?"

"My lord doesn't want it..." Hua Xiong said with some confusion: "Is it because he lacks ability?"

"I will lend you a temporary loan. Yuan Zhi is the lieutenant of the Ministry of War. He is my right-hand man in the Ministry of War. He is good at setting up military formations. In addition, I will bring you some weapons this time. They will be shipped in two days. In the next period of time, they will be sent to you one after another. I sent a lot of materials, Deheng came here also to make sharp weapons, don't be ignorant." Lu Bu felt that the only person in the world who could make him angry might be Hua Xiong.

"Here!" Seeing Lu Bu's anger, Hua Xiong suddenly became more obedient. After a serious salute, he glanced at Lu Bu secretly and said, "Master, is there going to be a war?"

"Yes." Lu Bu nodded and said: "You should start the fight here. This time, we are going to conquer Hebei in one battle. Yuan Zhi temporarily joined your army as a military advisor. He knows how to use new weapons. When the war begins, Before that, we had to train a group of people specialized in using new weapons.”

"What new weapon?" Hua Xiong was a little curious. He felt that the serial crossbow was enough. As long as the arrows could hold enough, he could kill directly under Yecheng!

"We'll know in a few days." Lu Bu was really afraid that after Hua Xiong saw the power of the Vulcan Cannon, he would argue with him for more. Although Chang'an has made a lot of Vulcan Cannons over the years, Gao Shun wanted it. Zhang Liao also wants it, and Luoyang wants it too. If you divide it up like this, and cooperate with the stone bullets, it's actually not too much.

After explaining to Xu Shu, Lu Bu hurriedly left with Gao Lan.

After all, Gao Lan is Yuan Shao's old general. Even if he has sincerely surrendered, he will always be bound by the war with his old master. It is better to transfer him away and replace Zhang Ren with Hua Xiong's command, which can also avoid some troubles.

After returning to Luoyang, Lu Bu took Liu Xie and others on the Tai Chi carriage and returned to Chang'an. Liu Xie stayed in Luoyang for a few days. After the novelty wore off, he did not want to stay in Luoyang forever. Now that he has Tai Chi Since it is convenient to travel to and from Luoyang by car, I don’t have any regrets about it.

Although the real purpose of this Tai Chi trial was to inspect the defense in the Heluo area, externally it was just to accompany the emperor on a tour of Luoyang. However, in the past few days, Lu Bu not only visited important places such as Hulao Pass and Yique Pass. Guancheng, and even went to Hanoi in person. Although he went secretly, the news was still known to those who were interested.

Jizhou, Yecheng, General's Mansion.

"My lord, according to the intelligence returned from the detailed operations in Luoyang and Chang'an, the so-called Tai Chi car really arrived in Luoyang within one day." The judge responsible for inquiring about the intelligence frowned and told Yuan Shao the information he had analyzed.

Chang'an is 700 miles from Luoyang, which can be reached in one day. Moreover, it is a large vehicle that can carry 300,000 stones of grain and grass. It is also a large vehicle that can drive automatically without animal power or manpower. Until now, everyone who knows the news has I can't believe that there is an iron cart in this world that does not require animal power. It is an iron cart.

"In the past, I heard that Lu Bu was a very skilled craftsman, and he seemed to be proficient in the art of mechanism and could make a Trojan horse that could move freely. This Tai Chi chariot may have been made in sequence. In the past, Lu Ban built a bird that would fly for three days without setting. This may not be a rumor. ." Tian Feng actually didn't want to believe this kind of thing, it was too absurd, but it happened, and people couldn't help but think that those things considered to be legends really exist?

Jushou muttered: "It takes one day to travel between Chang'an and Luoyang. If that's true, my lord, this railway track is very important to Lu Bu. Its food consumption is much lower than that of our army, and it is faster!"

Isn't it? A large cart made entirely of steel can transport grain and grass back and forth. It can reach Luoyang from Chang'an in one day, and the carrying capacity is huge. If there are more of these carts, if there is a war, Lu Buhao can kill them all. Worn to death!

The best way is to send people to destroy the railway track. An elite team needs to sneak into the pass and destroy the railway track. Without this thing, the railway car may not be able to move.

Guo Tu bowed to Yuan Shao and said, "My lord, there is one more thing that I have to take care of."

"What else is there?" Yuan Shao looked serious. The noise Lu Bu made this time was quite disturbing.

"Although Lu Bu came to Luoyang this time in the name of accompanying the emperor on a tour, as far as I know, the cart brought not only the emperor and his ministers, but also a large number of crossbows. Moreover, during the time they were in Luoyang, that The Tai Chi carriage has never stopped and has been traveling between Chang'an and Luoyang. Once it arrives, outsiders can't get close to it, even Luoyang officials can't get close. We must be on guard against this!"

Yuan Shao closed his eyes. He naturally knew this. Lu Bu, who had been quiet for nearly ten years, suddenly started making small moves. What did he want to do? Could it be that he thought he could defeat the two great princes joining forces with him and Cao Cao?

"What do you think about this matter?" After a long time, Yuan Shao opened his eyes and looked at everyone and asked.

"Lü Bu has been dormant for ten years because of the dangerous mountains and rivers. In the past ten years, there have been three imperial examinations in Guanzhong and a large number of talents have been selected. As far as I know, after ten years of recuperation in Guanzhong, Lu Bu has a large number of poor people under his command. Now it seems that, Lu Bu may be tempted, so our army should make preparations to fight the war. In addition, we should form an alliance with Cao Cao. Once a war breaks out, Cao Cao's army can threaten Nanyang, Yique and other places from the flanks, and even contact Liu Cong of Jingzhou to discuss it together." Tian Feng said to him. Yuan Shao saluted.

In today's world, except for Jiangdong, the other three princes are bordering Lu Bu. This time the alliance will not be as difficult as last time. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can basically let go to fight Lu Bu. The two families join forces and spend thirty An army of ten thousand is not a problem. It is true that Lu Bu has accumulated strength in Guanzhong over the years, but Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have not been able to do anything. After so many years, whether it is Lu Bu, Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, they still have some confidence in fighting Lu Bu again.

As for Liu Cong of Jingzhou, he succeeded to the throne with the support of Cai Mao and other Jingxiang gentry after Liu Biao died of illness some time ago. It is not yet clear what his abilities are, but from Jingzhou's standpoint, there is no reason not to send troops to at least recapture Nanyang.

In the end, Jiangdong said that although he and Lu Bu were not bordering, the princes of the world were attacking Lu. Unless Jiangdong sided with Lu Bu, otherwise if Jiangdong dared to send troops, the result would be that all the princes of the world would attack him together.

Sun Quan didn't have the courage and courage of his elder brother, and he probably wouldn't have the courage to take action against Cao Cao or Liu Biao at this time. Besides, the Sun family and Lu Bu were sworn enemies. Sun Jian died at the hands of Lu Bu, and Sun Ce also died in a battle with Lu Bu. , this hatred is not easy to resolve!

All it takes is a letter, a nominal alliance, and letting Sun Quan stay well in his Jiangdong.

But the question now is whether Cao Cao is willing to form an alliance with Yuan Shao.

After all, after years of recuperation, Cao Cao has three states: Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou. Now his strength is not weaker than Yuan Shao. In fact, the current structure in the north is a tripartite confrontation. He can win over Liu Cong, but they may not be able to persuade him. Cao Cao joined forces to attack Lu Bu.

The greater possibility is to sit back and watch the tiger fight!

Guo Tu obviously thought of this, looked at Tian Feng and said: "Today is different from the past. Cao Cao may not be willing to join forces with our army."

Tian Feng was silent. Although the two sides did not fight, Tian Feng could not refute this matter. It was naturally the best choice to win over Cao Cao to fight Lu Bu, but the greater possibility was that once Lu Bu went to war with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao would probably Sit back and watch the tiger fight.

"Yuan Hao's plan is not wrong." Xu You, who had been silent until now, suddenly smiled and saluted Yuan Shao: "But Guanzhong now has a rare treasure like the Tai Chi chariot. If Guanzhong is allowed to develop, I am afraid that both of us will be destroyed." Fang Xianghe may not be the opponent of Lu Bu. My lord, I would like to go and lobby Mengde and persuade Mengde to join forces with our army to defeat the national traitor Lu Bu!"

Yuan Shao nodded with a complicated expression. He never thought that one day he would ask Cao Cao to join forces. This change of status made Yuan Shao, who was used to being the overlord of the north, a little uncomfortable. Unfortunately, because of Lu Bu's existence, he missed the opportunity to recruit Cao Cao. The best time finally allowed Cao Cao to become the climate. Now it is useless to say anything. It is the best choice to get Cao Cao to do it together. He nodded and said: "Yes!"
