New Lubu War

Chapter 60 In troubled times, heroes must emerge

These two people, of course, are Lu Bu and Jia Xu.

On that day, Lv Bu's talk about ghosts and gods saying "Xibei, talk about wings" really calmed Jia Xu.

However, it is absolutely impossible to let such a wise and famous person with independent personality and full of tricks just accept his head.

However, Lu Bu then described the current situation of Wuyuan County to him.

In the past five years, Wuyuan County has changed so much that outsiders would never have imagined it. Even Jia Xu was full of doubts after hearing it.

So, following Lu Bu, Jia Xu came to Wuyuan County.

"How did the envoy do it?"

After being surprised, Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu and asked.

"It's easy!"

Faced with Jia Xu's astonishment, Lu Bu put his hands behind his hands and said lightly:
"Although Hu people make a living by grazing cattle and living on grass, there is no one in the world who does not want to live a peaceful life!"

"Although a certain receives their 'tribute' every year, it also guarantees their safety and creates a relatively stable and peaceful environment!"

"In addition to the gathering of Han merchants here, it is a hundred times easier for Hu people to exchange cattle, sheep and horses for tea, salt and other daily necessities!"

"All in all, the life of the barbarians is actually several times better than before!"

Jia Xu nodded frequently, but still said:
"Even so, if you don't have Shijun, the 'God of War', sitting in charge, with the barbarian's plundering temperament, it is absolutely impossible to do business honestly!"

Hearing this, Lu Bu smiled slightly.

Indeed, it is not an easy task to get Hu people to do business honestly.

After all, the nature of barbarians and wolves is plundering!
But under the threat of a butcher knife, anything is possible!
Wolves have a ferocious side, but also a tame side.

After taming, it is a loyal dog, very obedient!
After arriving in Jiuyuan, Jia Xu wandered around the county every day, looking around.

On the first day, Lu Bu accompanied him for a stroll, and then Cao Xing sent more than a dozen soldiers to guard him and let Jia Xu move around.

During this period, Cao Xing reported something to Lu Bu.

"Lord!"

Cao Xing Gongshouhui reported:

"According to Luoyang's detailed report, the emperor passed away a month ago, the prince Liu Bian ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager He came to court, and the general He Jin was in charge of the court!"

"Ok!"

Lu Bu nodded.

This moment has finally come.

It took a month to bid farewell to Dong Zhuo and return to Wuyuan County, that is to say, Emperor Hanling died as soon as he left Hanoi.

"Continue to inquire, pay attention to the situation in Luoyang, and the movements of Dong Zhuo's army in Hanoi!"

Lu Bu ordered.

"promise!"

Cao Xing resigned.

……

early morning.

Lu Mansion Martial Arts Field.

After practicing the halberd technique once, Lu Bu stopped to meditate on the halberd.

"It's a little bit worse, where is the difference?"

Frowning deeply, Lu Bu muttered to himself.

On this trip to the south, he fought fiercely with more than a dozen generals under Dong Zhuo's command, and felt a little inexplicable.

Especially when capturing Dong Zhuo's lightning strikes three times in a row, in one go, his heart was touched somewhere.

For a month, he recalled the feeling at that time all the time, but he still couldn't grasp it.

'Brush brush'

The halberd struck out suddenly, flashing three times in the air.

"It's useless!"

Putting away the halberd, Lu Bu frowned.

"So capable, I don't have the wonderful feeling that touched the soul and thumped my heart that day!"

a long time.

"Ugh!"

He let out a long sigh.

"The realm of the great master, what is the realm of the great master?"

The tone is melancholy, and the thoughts are difficult to understand.

……

study.

Lu Bu and Jia Xu sat opposite each other.

"The Shijun not only has the name of 'God of War', but also knows how to manage it so well, which is admirable!"

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said.

"Ha ha!"

Lu Bu waved his hands and said with a smile:

"Mr. is too famous. It's a mere trail, not worth mentioning!"

Jiuyuan County, and even the entire Wuyuan County, have undergone earth-shaking changes in the five years since he took over.

Because it frightened the surrounding barbarians, the security situation inside and outside Wuyuan County was unprecedentedly good.

At first, it was only Lu Bu who took the initiative to contact wealthy merchants in the Central Plains, Fu Jia, to sell a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, and obtain salt and iron armor.

But later, traders with a keen business sense discovered the business opportunities here, flocked here, exchanged grassland specialties with local people, and sold them in the Central Plains to obtain high price differences.

Soon, the surrounding barbarians also discovered that Han merchants gathered here, and precious items such as tea, salt, and cloth, which had been rare in the grassland for several years, could be seen everywhere here.

As a result, in addition to the local people, the surrounding Hu people also began to flock to Jiuyuan County, exchanging tea, salt, and cloth with Han merchants with brewed dairy products, or cattle, sheep, and horses.

Over time, a thriving market has formed.

In this regard, Lu Bu is naturally happy to see the success.

Then set commercial taxes, and sent troops to maintain law and order and resolve disputes.

In this way, more and more Central Plains merchants and grassland barbarians participated, and the market scale became larger and larger.

At the same time, Lu Bu is also making a lot of money, comparable to the wealthy families of the Central Plains!
The only thing that makes him regret is that the population of Wuyuan County is limited, which makes the number of troops unable to increase.

Lu Bu knew very well that in the coming chaos, money and other things are important, but the army is the first.

Everything comes with the barrel of a gun.

No gun barrel, no amount of wealth, but a moon in the water, a flower in the mirror.

You can see it, you can't touch it, it seems to be your own, but it will fall into the hands of others in a blink of an eye.

Therefore, although relying on the insights of later generations to push and make the market more prosperous, Lu Bu actually didn't pay much attention to it.

"Making you suppress thousands of miles of barbarians on your own, and make Wuyuan County so prosperous, the future is bound to have a bright future!"

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said.

"Oh?"

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows.

From then on, he felt that Jia Xu's tone was different from the past, and his attitude had also changed, so he immediately asked:
"Sir, what do you think the world will look like in the future?"

Hearing this, Jia Xu pondered for a moment, then slowly said:

"When today's son is young, the empress dowager's wife is in charge of the government, and the general He Jin is not worthy of it. From my point of view, there will be chaos soon!"

"The world has experienced the ravages of the Yellow Turban, and rebellions have gathered everywhere. It has long been turbulent. At this time, the court is still full of hidden dangers...!"

Having said that, Jia Xu and Lu Bu looked at each other and said word by word:

"From my point of view, the world is in chaos!"

With his character, he spoke so clearly, which shows his sincerity.

Obviously, Lu Bu gave him a big gift, and what he saw and heard in Jiuyuan County these days touched Jia Xu a lot, so he made a certain decision.

"In troubled times, heroes will emerge!"

Looking at Lu Bu, Jia Xu nodded and said:

"The emperor suppressed the barbarians of thousands of miles of grassland with the land of a county. He is a first-class hero today. In this troubled world, he has a lot to do!"

"I don't know the ambition of the envoy, whether to help the Han Dynasty, or...!"

Having said that, Jia Xu stopped and stared at Lu Bu.

"If the Han family can support me, I would like to be the Duke of Zhou, otherwise, I would like to be Wang Mang!"

Facing Jia Xu's probing gaze, Lu Bu said frankly.

If Zhuge Liang was sitting opposite him, he wouldn't say such things even if Lu Bu was killed.

Even Xun Yu would never say anything.

Even when facing people like Xun You, Cheng Yu, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Pang Tong, and Sima Yi, he wouldn't say anything.

But it doesn't matter if you talk to Jia Xu.

Without him, Jia Xu didn't have much loyalty to the Han Dynasty, or he was not like other people who were overwhelmed by the residual power of the four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty.

If you really want to be loyal to the Han court, you won't follow Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Zhang Xiu, and Cao Cao one after another.
