Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 418 Unifying Yongzhou

"General Lu Bu really wants to keep Yang Biao with His Majesty?" Just as Yang Biao left, a voice came from behind the screen next to Lu Bu, and then a figure walked out. This person was none other than Xun Xun. Yu.

"Sir, do you think this is inappropriate?" Lu Bu asked back.

"The subordinates thought that the general would kill Yang Biao and use his head to show his prestige, but they didn't expect the general to just let him go." Xun Yu looked at Lu Bu with some puzzlement and asked.

"Isn't this what you want to see? Yang Biao is a good person, he can read words and deeds, and more importantly, he doesn't want to provoke conflicts with me. I also hope that he can let His Majesty learn this." Lu Bu didn't look at Xun Yu, just Looking at the place where Yang Biao left, he said lightly.

At the same time, in a hidden place outside Chang'an City, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang finally came together.

"Second brother, where have you been? My eldest brother and I couldn't find you. Are we going to find a chance to sneak into the city and have a look?" Seeing Guan Yu's arrival, Zhang Fei's nervous mood began to ease, but he still asked a little puzzled .

"I fought with Zang Ba, and when I learned that the Ma family had been defeated, I didn't want to fight. I was afraid that Ma Chao and the others would harm you, so I searched for you everywhere, but there was no trace of you. This has delayed me until now, but I saw that the elder brother and the third younger brother are fine. , I feel relieved." Guan Yu explained his itinerary a little bit and said.

"As long as everyone is fine." At this time, Liu Bei stepped forward, grabbed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's hands and said.

"I didn't expect that the Ma family was just a vain name. It's so disappointing that Lu Bu took care of it so easily." Thinking of what happened in the past few days, Zhang Fei said a little annoyed.

"Now that Lü Bu is powerful and has Xun Yu's help, we can no longer contend with him, so we can only leave Yongzhou first." Liu Bei said with a sigh.

"Xun Yu, wasn't this person taken away by force by Lu Bu? How could he join Lu Bu?" Guan Yu was also shocked when he heard the news that Xun Yu had taken refuge with Lu Bu. As a warrior, Guan Yu also knew Xun Yu's reputation. However, he was still a little shocked that Xun Yu had taken refuge in Lu Bu.

"It's not wrong. When the third brother fought with Tai Shici, I saw that Xun Yu was behind Taishi Ci with chains of iron chains and horse guards in the middle." Liu Bei said with a gloomy expression.

"Lü Bu's military strength is unparalleled in the first place, and now with the help of a wise man like Xun Yu, even if he doesn't want to be strong, it will be difficult." Guan Yu also said worriedly.

"In contrast, I have waited until now but have achieved nothing." Speaking of this.I saw Liu Bei's eyes turned red, as if he was about to cry.

"Brother, why do you do this? The heroes of the world are like white horses passing through the gap. Although Lu Bu is stronger than Dong Zhuo, so what? As long as we brothers are united, Lu Bu is nothing." Seeing Liu Bei's appearance of crying, Zhang Fei said quickly.

"Brother, what the third brother said is right. The top priority is to leave Yongzhou and regain our strength. Although we can't deal with Lu Bu this time, the elder brother is not without benefits. The status of the emperor's uncle has also been confirmed. In the future, that prince will dare to underestimate our brother." Hearing what Zhang Fei said, Guan Yu also echoed.

"Then let's go back to the plains first. There are often yellow scarves in Qingzhou, which happens to be an opportunity for us to expand our strength." After speaking, Liu Bei stopped hesitating and headed straight for Qingzhou with his two brothers and soldiers. .

But when Yang Biao returned to Emperor Xian, he told Emperor Xian and other ministers exactly what Lu Bu had said.

"In this way, Lu Bu's condition is not much, just give him some food and grass." After listening to Yang Biao's words, Emperor Xian heaved a sigh of relief. Last time Lu Bu killed Cao Yin, Emperor Xian was really afraid that Lu Bu would die again. Playing around and making trouble, but now a heart is finally let go.

"Your Majesty, now Lu Bu is in power, and everything in Chang'an City is under Lu Bu's control. Even the guards inside and outside the imperial city are now in charge of Lu Bu's confidant Dian Wei. We have no power, no money, and more Not to mention the mobilization of food and grass, Lu Bu is obviously playing tricks on me." Emperor Xian just breathed a sigh of relief, when a voice came from below, he saw a figure walking out, thinking about Emperor Xian and bowed and said, everyone looked over , this person is none other than General Zhengxi Huang Fusong.

"Yang Aiqing, did you tell Huangfu Aiqing the matter like this?" Upon hearing Huangfu Song's words, Emperor Xian was startled, and hurriedly asked Yang Biao at the side.

"General Huangfu is telling the truth. Although we are high officials in the imperial court, we have no soldiers and no power, but we can't do anything." Yang Biao also said with a sigh.

"What should I do?" Emperor Xian asked hastily.

"It's not impossible at this time. If you want to come to Lv Bu, you will know the situation in Chang'an. At this time, Lv Bu asked the court for food and grass. Your Majesty may as well hand over the power of the country's finances and taxes to Lv Bu. In this way, Lv Bu will You can ask other princes for local taxes, which can be regarded as the money and food that the court gave Lu Bu to raise soldiers, as for whether you can get the money and food back, it depends on Lu Bu's ability." Everyone was helpless, and suddenly someone stepped forward and confronted him. The ministers suggested.

"This is not good. Although Lu Bu is powerful now, he is nothing but a Hanchen. His Majesty has promised to promote Lu Bu to the rank of Taiwei and hand over the military power to Lu Bu. Once Lu Bu controls the world's financial power, the court will have more What right?" Hearing this, Huangfusong hesitated for a while, and said somewhat uncertainly.

"General Huangfu was wrong. Now your life and mine are in Lu Bu's hands, so why should we care about rights that are beyond our own reach. What's more, what we give is just a title." Yang Biao said to Huangfu Song said indifferently about his objection.

"In that case, then it's settled." Emperor Xian said without hesitation as he slapped the table.As long as there is no conflict with Lu Bu, at the time of Emperor Xian, there Huaneng can take care of any power struggle.

Early the next morning, Lu Bu received the imperial edict to promote himself as Marquis of Longxi, and of course there was also an imperial edict to be responsible for urging taxes from various places.

"Hahaha, I don't know who came up with the idea to ask me to pay taxes to the princes in various places. Do they really think that the princes in various places are soft persimmons?" Lu Bu looked at the two imperial edicts in his hand. , said with a wry smile.

"Isn't it precisely for this reason that the general asked those ministers and ministers to provide money and food to support the soldiers?" Xun Yu asked Lv Bu, who stood aside and looked at Lv Bu with some puzzlement.Apart from the imperial decree of some titles, Xun Yu didn't understand what other ministers and ministers Lv Bu wanted to get from Emperor Xian, and what things from them were worthy of Lv Bu's covetousness.

"These ministers and ministers can't be raised for nothing. They should play a role. I originally wanted them to go to various places to raise some food for me. Now it seems that I am still working hard on myself. It seems that I am really a lucky person. Ah." Lu Bu sighed and expressed his thoughts, but quickly turned to Xun Yu and said, "From today onwards, you will be the long history of my Taiwei Mansion. The list of officials for money and food." Lu Bu was not good at such onerous tasks, so he could only make Xun Yu work harder, but Lu Bu was very relieved of Xun Yu's ability to handle affairs.

"Master Taiwei really intends to do this?" Xun Yu asked in surprise, Xun Yu understood the thoughts of the princes in troubled times, everyone was saving money and food to expand their troops, so how could there be any money and food to give to Lu Bu.

"Hehe, this matter is not in a hurry, we can handle it when Hu Zhen comes back." Lu Bu said with a faint smile.

"So that's it. It seems that your lord is ready to make a plan for the world." At this time, Xun Yu finally understood what Lu Bu meant, and wanted to take this opportunity to find out the details of the princes from all walks of life and see what troublesome things among them enemies, and those people are nothing but frogs in a well.As long as Hu Zhen can make Fufeng surrender, then the entire Yongzhou is almost under Lv Bu's control, and Lv Bu will have the opportunity to see the world as a tiger.

A few days later, thousands of horses and horses came slowly in two teams outside the west gate of Chang'an City. There were two people sitting on top of the first two horses. One of them was Hu Zhen who was sent back to Fufeng by Lu Bu to dedicate Fufeng to Lu Bu.

"General Hu Zhen, this time I'm going to see General Lu Bu, you have to say something kind to me." A general beside Hu Zhen cupped his fists and said flatteringly to Hu Zhen.

"Hehe, don't worry, you said that the big Tianshui was dedicated to General Lu Bu, so could General Lu Bu treat you badly?" Hu Zhen patted the shoulder of the person in front of him and said.It turned out that this person was none other than Yang Feng, the captain of the cavalry who was in charge of guarding Tianshui. It turned out that after Li Jue left Tianshui, he handed over the defense of Tianshui to Yang Feng. Zhen contacted and wanted to fall into Lu Bu's arms.By this time Yang Feng had also understood that Lü Bu was powerful and controlled the court, and surrendering to Lv Bu at this time was the same as surrendering to the court, and it was not a shameful thing.

While the two were talking, they saw the west gate of Chang'an suddenly opened, and a pair of mighty knights came out on horseback. Sitting down to chase after the red rabbit horse, it was Lu Bu who knew that Hu Zhen had brought Yang Feng to surrender, so he immediately led his troops out to meet him.For this kind of current affairs, Lu Bu still welcomes people who are willing to throw themselves into his arms.

"General Lu Bu is here, you and I will go and see you." Seeing Lu Bu coming to meet him in person, Hu Zhen hastily greeted Yang Feng, galloping his horse, thinking of Lu Bu, and ran over. Lu Bu went out of the city to meet him, which was already a great deal of face for the two of them. However, the two of them didn't dare to make too much of a fuss, so they hurriedly went up to meet him. They must be their lord from now on.
