Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 608 Jingzhou Raiders
"I'm Kuailiang, I'm Kuaiyue, I don't know if the Lord Regent has summoned us, what advice do you have?" Seeing Lu Bu asking about the two of them, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue quickly stepped forward to salute Lv Bu.

"I, Lu Bu, have heard about the names of the two gentlemen. Please come with me, gentlemen?" As he spoke, Lu Bu turned and walked towards the inner hall of the Xiangyang Palace. Today's Xiangyang Palace, and even the entire Xiangyang City, have been controlled by Lu Bu. Naturally, he regards Xiangyang Palace as his own home.

When he came to a wing room, Lu Bu turned around and looked at the two people in front of him, smiled and said, "Since I came to Jingzhou, my purpose is to occupy Jingzhou. Contribute?"

Hearing Lv Bu's words, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue looked at each other and smiled wryly, and then said to Lv Bu: "I am originally a Han minister, so it is my duty to contribute to the imperial court."

"I know the two gentlemen are loyal, so I brought the two gentlemen here to talk. Now that I have limited troops, it is really difficult to occupy the entire Jingzhou. I also ask the two gentlemen to advise me." Although Lu Bu brought himself The Zhenghuang Banner and Xianghuang Banners arrived; E Xiangyang, but Lu Bu's army has not yet arrived in Jingzhou, and the troops of Zhang He, Pang Tong and others do not know where they are at this time. Lu Bu wants to control the situation in Jingzhou. Naturally, we still need to discuss with Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue. First, we can test their loyalty. Second, if we can stabilize the situation in Jingzhou, it will be a step towards the unification of China for Lu Bu.

"The regent clearly sees that most of the famous people in Jingzhou are already in Xiangyang City. The regent only needs to explain their interests to them and comfort them. Naturally, the counties in Jingzhou would not dare to do anything wrong with the crusade." Seeing Lu Bu's question, Kuai Liang thought for a while, and finally spoke.

"Mr. is right. Doing anything arbitrarily can indeed win the support of everyone, but it is obviously not enough to deter everyone. It needs to be done with kindness and power. I just don't know who the evil-minded person Mr. said is?" Lu Bu nodded to Kuai Liang's words, expressing his agreement. However, in order to suppress the troops of Jingzhou's counties, Lu Bu still needs some thunderous means. Only in this way can he shake the mountain and shake the tiger. Reinforcements arrive.

"Xinye Liu Bei has always liked to buy people's hearts, and with the eldest son Liu Qi in his hands, he has always been eyeing Jingzhou. If the regent can wipe out Lu Bu, I believe that no one in Jingzhou will dare to refuse." Hearing Lu Bu's question, Kuai Liang continued. .

Hearing Kuai Liang's words, Lu Bu nodded, then turned to look at Kuai Yue who was beside him and asked, "Do you think the same way, sir? I wonder if you have any good ideas?"

"Why is it so troublesome for the regent to subdue Jingzhou? I think that when Liu Biao first came to Jingzhou, he had no money, food or soldiers, and the prosperity of the nine counties in Jingzhou could bring the power of 20 armor. The regent now has With soldiers and horses in hand, and a brigade of reinforcements ready to arrive at any time, why bother to do so much favor and power?" Seeing Lu Bu asking himself, Kuai Yue didn't want to be compared to Kuai Liang, and after a little consideration, he opened his mouth and said .

"Hehe, sir, what you said really impressed me. Since you have a good idea, please explain it in detail." Lu Bu also laughed when he heard Kuai Yue's words, and asked.Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue are not only brothers, but also very important figures in Jingzhou. If the two act together, it is likely to cause a lot of waves in Jingzhou. You must know the reason why Liu Biao was able to govern without soldiers and money. Jingzhou is because of the help of Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, and Cai Mao. Seeing Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue vying for favor with each other in front of him now, Lu Bu is very happy. As long as these veterans of Jingzhou are at odds, Jingzhou will be stable for Lu Bu. half.

"To the Regent, the heads of most counties and counties in Jingzhou are now in Xiangyang City. The Regent only needs to keep them in Xiangyang City to entertain them, and at the same time promote their deputy to handle the affairs of the county. I am grateful for the kindness of the regent king, and these original county heads, the regent only needs to arrange for them to go to Luoyang at the right time. In this way, Jingzhou can be easily obtained. With these supports, the regent will mobilize Jingzhou Soldiers and horses are like arms, they can be used freely." Kuai Yue bowed to Lu Bu, and then said.

"Hahaha, Mr. Kuai Yue is indeed a great talent. I will leave this matter to Mr. Kuai Yue. I believe he will satisfy me." Hearing Kuai Yue's arrangement, Lu Bu laughed loudly. He had to say, Sure enough, Kuai Yue had some talents, so without anyone noticing, he had a big change of blood for the heads of counties and counties in Jingzhou.Those deputies who want to be promoted will naturally go all out to flatter Lu Bu, so that they can be supported by Lu Bu in the days to come, and they will take down the original county heads and be left in Xiangyang City. Even if they want to do something, But there is nothing they can do, and those counties and counties that are united with Liu Bei and support the eldest son Liu Qi, just wait for Lu Bu's conquest.

Not long after, news came out from the Xiangyang Palace that the King of Xiangyang had passed away, and all the heads of counties and counties had to honor the King of Xiangyang and could not return to the counties and counties, and all the things in the original counties and counties were temporarily replaced by deputies.

After dealing with the local affairs, Lu Bu will naturally start to deal with Jingzhou's military affairs. Liu Biao has been in Jingzhou for many years and has established a 20 army. Although this army is not very strong, it has resisted Jiangdong for Liu Biao. Between Sun Quan and Yuan Shu, Liu Biao gained control of the nine counties of Jingzhou. If Lu Bu wants to rule the world, he must send troops like Jiangdong, and Lu Bu's navy has few battles. He also hopes to take over Jingzhou's soldiers and horses. So as to gain the initiative in the future battle against Jiangdong.

"Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, please see the Regent." Upon receiving Lu Bu's call, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun came to Lu Bu, kneeling on the ground and said.

"The master bedroom of the two generals took Jingzhou, I need to reward the two generals, but I don't know what the two generals are good at?" Lu Bu nodded when he saw the two coming, and then said.

"Regent, the two of us have been fighting on the Yangtze River for a long time, and we are both good at water warfare." Cai Mao and Zhang Yun looked at each other. Although they didn't know what Lv Bu meant by asking this question, but Lv Bu was a famous general from Bingzhou. The little bow and horse are proficient, and the two of them naturally dare not claim to be good at cavalry or infantry in front of Lu Bu. However, based on their understanding of cavalry and infantry, they are obviously not ranked in the ranks of Lu Bu's army, and they cannot be reused by Lu Bu. After much deliberation, the two talked about the water army in unison. Compared with Lu Bujun, they can only think that this is their strength, and the fact is the same. The two often lead the water army and the Jiangdong water army to fight. There are wins and losses for each other, but they can also draw with Jiangdong.

"That's very good. A certain family is going to attack Jiangdong, and they are worried that no one can lead the navy, so you two will take over the Jingzhou navy, and at the same time recruit new soldiers, and train a [-] navy for me, so that I can fight against the Jiangdong navy in the future." On the Yangtze River, would you two be willing?" Hearing the two said that they were good at navy, Lu Bu continued.

"Even though I died, I thought that the regent would be loyal." During this period of time, the two were trapped in Xiangyang City. Although their movements were not restricted, there were always people watching, and the other two felt like they were under house arrest. With the new appointment, the two of them immediately felt relieved. It is impossible for them to train the navy in Xiangyang City. This means that they can finally gain Lu Bu's trust and leave Xiangyang.

"It's so good. I will order Cai Mao to be the commander of the navy and Zhang Yun to be the deputy commander of the navy. They will train the navy for me." After speaking, Lu Bu waved his hand and promoted the two of them. They are all generals of the navy, so the soldiers and horses in charge of Xiangyang in the past were naturally taken over by Lu Bu's subordinates. In this way, Xiangyang and the surrounding counties were completely controlled by Lu Bu. As for other counties, as long as they He didn't explicitly express his opposition to Lu Bu, so Lu Bu was not in a hurry to deal with them. He just waited for reinforcements to arrive, and these places would naturally fall into Lu Bu's hands.

But when Zhuge Liang and Shan Fu returned to Xinye, they saw Liu Guanzhang waiting anxiously.

"My lord, did Lu Bu really come to Jingzhou, how many soldiers and horses did he lead?" Seeing Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang asked directly without being polite.

"I only saw Dian Wei and Xu Chu under Lu Bu, but not the other generals." Liu Bei thought for a while before saying.

"In this way, what Lu Bu brought was only a small group of soldiers and horses, and there was no large army to overwhelm the border. In this way, we may still have time." Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and then said.

"What does military mean before it's too late?" Liu Bei asked with some doubts.

"Lü Bu has few soldiers. When Lu Bu came to Jingzhou, there must be many troubles in Jingzhou. Xinye City is small and can't deal with Lu Bu. Therefore, my subordinates suggest that the Lord lead the soldiers and horses in Xinye City to retreat immediately in order to preserve strength. In addition, when Lu Bu arrives in Jingzhou, the situation in Jingzhou is bound to be serious. The chaos, but because it is an opportunity for our army, our army can take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to Xiangyang, and there may be unexpected gains." Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and then said.

"Does the military commander want to take advantage of the chaos to take Xiangyang?" Hearing Zhuge Liang's proposal, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"That's right, but the chance of success in this battle is not great. With the arrival of Lu Bu's army and Zhang Yun's defeat, the situation in Xiangyang must be chaotic. If I guessed correctly, Lu Bu's goal is probably Xiangyang. Compare speed with Lu Bu and see who is faster." Zhuge Liang gritted his teeth and continued.

"My lord, many people in Xinye knew that we were leaving, and they brought their families with them, saying that they wanted to follow the lord to the death." At this moment, a soldier came to report to Liu Bei.
