Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Lu Bu didn't care how Yuan Shao planned to deal with it. Now he was indeed preparing. Various materials were continuously sent to Luoyang via Tai Chi carts, and then distributed to various places. Anyway, before he took action, if Yuan Shao took action, that would be the following If you don't take action, you will have to continue to send more troops to Hanoi.

"In this battle, you will lead a partial army to join Zhang Xiu and wait for an opportunity to seize Youzhou!" After Lu Bu returned to Luoyang, he directly summoned Ma Chao. If nothing else happens, Yuan Shao should be destroyed after sending troops this time. Later, Gao Shun, Xu Rong, Zhang Liao, Hua Xiong and other veterans who followed Lu Bu also needed to be taken care of. There was basically no chance for Ma Chao to act alone, so he handed over the task of attacking Youzhou to Ma Chao.

"Lord, it's very far from here to the Hetao area, and there are no railways connecting it. Materials and such..." Ma Chao looked at Lu Bu with some embarrassment. He originally thought that he could command the Vulcan cannon to attack the city. He had never seen Wan Wan. The spectacular scene of the salvo of artillery fire was somewhat reluctant.

"There's no need to think about the Vulcan Cannon." Lu Bu shook his head. Youzhou is destined to be sidelined all the way. It's impossible to move the Vulcan Cannon there. It's not that it can't be transported, but it's too time-consuming to merge with the state. Due to the road conditions, if you want to pull the Vulcan Cannon over, maybe the battle with Yuan Shao here is almost over, and Ma Chao's partial division will become meaningless.

"Lord, can't the last general go out with the main force?" Ma Chao begged.

"The main force?" Lu Bu looked at Ma Chao and said: "Go to Youzhou, you will be the main general. Here, Bo Sheng will be in charge of Luoyang to guard against Cao Cao's sneak attack. I will be in charge of the battle with Yuan Shao. Which one do you want to go with?"

"The last general takes orders!" Ma Chao said solemnly.

"Although you can't take the Vulcan cannon with you, but..." Looking at Ma Chao's expectant eyes, Lu Bu said: "Thunder crossbows can be used by you a hundred times, and they are equipped with a thousand thunder arrows and two thousand detonating thunders to help you seize the opportunity." The city and the land were taken.”

"Thank you, lord!" Ma Chao's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although he can't command the Vulcan cannon, the power of the thunder god crossbow and detonating thunder is not small. With these two things, combined with the repeated crossbow, Ma Chao felt that as long as he was given three thousand iron cavalry, he would Then the whole territory of Youzhou can be conquered.

"Go and prepare. After meeting with Zhang Xiu, gather troops and horses. After five months, you will find a fighter plane to invade Youzhou. Xiaozhi will follow you to Youzhou." Lu Bu nodded.

This time his goal is to completely defeat Yuan Shao. He must capture all the land in Hebei before Cao Cao reacts, so that he can turn the horse's head and pay Cao Cao directly.

"Here! I'm going to leave now!" Ma Chao cupped his fists and saluted, then accepted the order and left.

After Ma Chao led his troops to leave, the second and third Tai Chi vehicles successively drove out of Beigong City to increase the delivery of goods to Luoyang. At the same time, in the next two months, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao each sent their elites to destroy It was a pity that Lu Bu's three-year layout had made the awareness of the importance of railway tracks engraved in the hearts of every common people. If a stranger was found near the railway track, he would report it to the nearest official.

Although several sections were destroyed, the elite forces hidden by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao on Lu Bu's side were almost wiped out. And Lu Bu had set up checkpoints everywhere to cut off communication between Guanzhong and the Central Plains. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would have to send people in if they wanted to. Difficult.

At the same time, Xu You also successfully persuaded Cao Cao to re-alliance, but at the same time, Cao Cao sent Chen Qun to Chang'an to pay homage to the emperor.

"What's this?" In the palace, after Chen Qun resigned, Liu Xie was also fooled by Chen Qun's operation. Didn't it mean that Yuan Cao had formed an alliance? What does it mean that Cao Cao sends people here again?

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much at this time." Xun You smiled and said: "Cao Cao probably doesn't want to hurt his friendship with Yuan Shao, but he doesn't want to really go to war with our army. What he wants to do is sit back and watch the court and Yuan Shao Er. Tigers fighting against each other!”

"That's it." Liu Xie suddenly realized that Cao Cao's move was indeed a bit unexpected, but if he thought about it carefully, it was reasonable.

In the eyes of the world, the three princes, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, should be evenly matched with each other. According to this idea, Yuan Shao would fight the imperial court decisively, and Cao Cao could just sit back and reap the benefits.

Liu Xie looked at Lu Bu and said, "Lieutenant, are you really going to send troops this time?"

"Return to your majesty." Lu Bu took a step forward and saluted Liu Xie: "Since the time when the princes separated their regimes, the world has been in chaos for more than twenty years. The princes have been fighting for years, but it is the people of the world who have been affected. The imperial court was weak before. , unable to wipe out the world, but now after ten years of cultivation, I have sufficient armor, and I have great righteousness. It is the time to regain the world."

"I dare not agree with the words of the Taiwei!" A minister came out and frowned: "Soldiers, how can we lightly touch the important affairs of the country? Guanzhong has been resting and recuperating for many years. Could it be that the princes of Guandong only know how to kill and not cultivate?" How could he not know that the fourth generation of Chu Gong and the third Duke of Chu Gong were all known to Taiwei? Once the war started, if the war did not go as Taiwei expected and the two sides fought with each other and it was difficult to win or lose, then wouldn't it be like Taiwei in the end? What you said is just to poison the people?"

Lu Bu turned around, glanced at this man and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Since I am determined to send troops, I am sure of victory."

"What if we can't win?" The minister took a step forward and challenged him aggressively.

Lu Bu frowned, looked at him and said: "The army has not yet mobilized, but you have been here to shake the morale of the army. Could it be that you have colluded with Yuan Shao for a long time?"

"I haven't done it before!" The minister took a step back, took a deep breath and said, "I just hope that the Taiwei will think twice. If this battle is defeated, the undefeated army prestige accumulated by the Taiwei over the years will be lost. It was all lost in one day.”

"There has never been an undefeated general in the world, and the victory or defeat of the imperial court should not only be pinned on one person. Only by working together can we win." Lu Bu looked at this man deeply, turned around and saluted Liu Xie : "Your Majesty, this matter has been planned for ten years. Although Yuan Shao's power has been reduced, he is still the number one prince in the hearts of the people in the world. Only by defeating him can the princes return to the imperial court! I hope your majesty will give you permission!"

After Lu Bu's death, there were officials from the Six Ministries and generals from all walks of life who seconded the proposal. Now, there are very few old forces in the court. Looking around, they are all officials headed by the Six Ministries.

Many old ministers were uncomfortable with this, but Liu Xie didn't feel anything at all. He just nodded and said: "The Taiwei has indeed been planning for many years to restore the Central Plains. I believe that the Taiwei will never send troops rashly. He must have made arrangements long ago, so we will follow the Taiwei's plan." Wei's words."

The veterans sighed after hearing this. Lu Bu might really have the ability to restore the Central Plains, but it's hard to say whether the country that will be restored by then will still belong to the Han Dynasty.

Why can't your Majesty understand?

Now that the general direction of sending troops has been determined, the next step is to prepare for the war.

Supplies and troops have been being transported to Luoyang and Hanoi. Xu Rong has also gone to Luoyang to take charge of Lu Bu. These cannot be regarded as pre-war preparations, they should have been done.

Lu Bu asked Xun You and Jia Xu to be responsible for coordinating logistics. Although the Ministry of Civil Affairs should be responsible for this matter, the Ministry of Rites has been busy recently, so the two departments should be responsible for it together. In addition, Jia Xu is also responsible for appeasing other princes.

But the excuse for officially sending troops is also very particular. It was exactly this matter that Lu Bu went to court to discuss with Liu today.

"I believe that the implementation of the new tax law in Guanzhong has made the people of Guanzhong and Shu rich. Now it is time to promote this tax system to the world. Since Yuan Benchu ​​is the fourth generation and the third prince, he should take up this responsibility and order Jizhou to implement this law as soon as possible. , and pay the tax limit!" Jia Xu gave everyone a strategy.

It seems quite satisfactory, and even sounds like something that should be done, but the reality is that Yuan Shao can hardly accept it. Guanzhong did prosper because of the new tax law, but the price of this prosperity was indeed the death of countless noble families, powerful families, and the loss of their heads. It can be said that Guanzhong The common people are here today because they drank the blood of nobles and powerful men. What's even more ridiculous is that these people actually regard Lu Bu as a great benefactor.

If this new tax law is also promoted in Hebei, then this battle will not need to be fought. Yuan Shaoneng will be directly destroyed by his own people.

This is actually secondary. Yuan Shao cannot be so stupid and dig his own grave. What is really chilling is that looking at Lu Bu's approval, you can tell that this is a tacit understanding between the six ministers.

If Lu Bu really wins this battle, then the tragedy in Guanzhong in the past may happen in Hebei.

I wanted to stop it, but this time, no one dared.

The six departments have obviously reached a tacit agreement, so what's the use of them blocking it?

Liu Xie also agreed to this, and immediately issued an edict and sent people to Yecheng to ask Yuan Shao to act in accordance with the regulations.

At the same time, Lu Bu increased his troops faster in Luoyang and Hanoi. Now, about 100,000 troops have been gathered in Luoyang and Hanoi. Apart from the garrisons in Nanyang and Shu and the necessary troops in Guanzhong, these 100,000 troops, That's almost all Lu Bu can do now.

Just when Lu Bu was preparing to make final plans for the war against Yuan Shao, Lu Yong also came back with his merits in solving the troubles in Dayuan. With this merit, he was enough to become an official. Just as the war was about to begin, Lü Bu asked Lü Yong to go to Huguan. Waiting for the opportunity.

On the other side, Yecheng, the General's Mansion.

Looking at the edict sent by the court, Yuan Shao slapped the edict on the table and shouted angrily: "Lü Bu is a traitor and has gone too far to bully others!"

This edict not only asked him to change the tax law, but also required him to pay taxes to the court, and pay them according to the new tax law.

No matter which one, he had no way to complete it. The only way was to take action. But once he took action, it would be equivalent to being caught by Lu Bu. But even if he didn't take action and failed to pay the tax, the other party would still send troops. With a piece of imperial edict, , which puts Yuan Shao into absolute passivity.

"Lord!" Xu You looked at Yuan Shao and said, "Lü Bu has gathered a large army in the Heluo area. A war is inevitable. In this case, I think it is better to strike first and write a letter to accuse Lu Bu of bullying the emperor and monopolizing power. I Wait until the Xingyi army attacks Lu Bu and returns power to the emperor!"

Anyway, we are about to fight a war. At this time, morality still needs to be taken into account. Otherwise, the morale of the military will be unstable easily, but the troops must be dispatched!

"Pass Chen Lin!" Yuan Shao nodded, but this time he didn't ask anyone else. Lu Bu was bullying him to the point that this battle was inevitable and had to be fought. He immediately ordered someone to call Chen Lin and write a message. As for the army, when Lu Bu went to Hanoi and Luoyang to increase his troops, Yuan Shao was already gathering troops from all walks of life to head towards Muye!

Although there is no artifact like the Tai Chi cart for transporting grain, the terrain in Hebei is flat, and there are also ditches left by the princes in the Spring and Autumn Period. Over the years, Yuan Shao also ordered people to dig them out, so that grain and grass can be transported by water along the way. Come here, so what if Lu Bu has a Tai Chi car? Where is the convenience of water transportation?
