Chapter 777: For Profit
The rise of Lu Bu in Xuzhou is a good illustration, although Lu Bu's livelihood is very poor, but Lu Bu's hands control the elite army, with these elite troops, Lu Bu can have a greater role among the princes, even if some princes have a lot of dissatisfaction with Lu Bu, what kind of methods can they have.
If you attack Lu Bu, you need to take a part of the risk, once you provoke Lu Bu, it is not just a means on the surface, but it is also predictable that you have the strength to make a move in secret.
Wasn't the assassination that happened in Shouchun City before from Lu Bu's handiwork, although Lu Bu would not admit this matter, but in the eyes of the princes, it was enough for Lu Bu to do it.
The power that Yuan Shu secretly held was indeed a certain gap compared to Lu Bu's strength, and such a thing made Yuan Shu depressed.
However, now that the war between the two sides has begun, even if Lu Bu has more means, it is absolutely impossible to be spared from this confrontation, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao will not sit idly by and watch such a thing happen.
Eradicating princes like Lu Bu is of great significance to Yuan Shu and Liu Biao.
The mobilization of the Xuzhou army attracted the attention of the princes of the world, and Lu Bu was going to face Yuan Shu and Liu Biao with a brutal attitude.
I have to say that when the princes knew about this matter, they still had a lot of admiration for Lu Bu, and it was enough to see Lu Bu's pride in being able to dispatch troops to meet the battle under such a critical situation.
As a world-famous general, Lu Bu has a unique way in the battle, no matter how strong the enemy is, Lu Bu dares to lead the soldiers in the army to move forward bravely, just in this regard, it is not comparable to ordinary generals.
As the commander of the Xuzhou Army, the impact of Lu Bu's leading soldiers is often great, which can stimulate the soldiers in the army to the greatest extent, so that they can show more courage when fighting against the enemy.
There is an elite army under his command, which is the pride of the princes, and it is the foundation for the princes to settle down in the troubled times.
The princes' eyeing and the unstable factors under his rule were enough to make Lu Bu anxious.
And the means used by Lu Bu when governing the place are simple and rude, if the wealthy family has more cooperation, they can get the corresponding benefits from Lu Bu's hands, otherwise, they will face Lu Bu's revenge.
In such a situation, some families in Yanzhou and Xuzhou must have a lot of dissatisfaction with Lu Bu, but because of Lu Bu's prestige in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, they don't dare to have more remarks.
No matter how strong Lu Bu's martial arts are, what ultimately decides on the battlefield is the elite and number of sergeants and soldiers.
The side with the numerical advantage will also be able to take advantage of the more in the battle.
Even if one person is brave, how many enemy soldiers can he kill on the battlefield? In the end, victory on the battlefield can affect the final situation.
Lu Bu's bravery, in fact, is not valued more by Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, what they pursue is to be able to defeat Lu Bu's army on the battlefield, so that Lu Bu is panicked like a lost dog, and he does not dare to make more moves, and even takes the city that originally belonged to Lu Bu.
The princes fought in order to be able to get more benefits, otherwise, how could Liu Biao stand up and attack Lu Bu because of a great righteousness.
At present, it is the era of the rise of princes, and it will be easier for princes with strength to do something in troubled times, and princes without ability can only be eliminated at such a time.
How many princes, just because they don't have enough means and strength, can only become a stepping stone on the way forward for other princes.
As long as the battle between the princes is still there, the princes will continue to improve their own strength, so that the officers and soldiers in the army can have greater achievements when dealing with the enemy.
The progress of the war is a great test for the princes, and the transportation of grain, grass and baggage must be guaranteed in a timely manner, so as not to make the officers and men in the army have more panic.
Often when the war is going on, the princes will be more and more thoughtful in protecting the grain and grass.
However, the consumption of grain and grass in the conquest of a large army is extremely terrible, and a battle will even empty the princes' families.
Yangzhou and Yuzhou, with a large number of populations, are rich states and counties in the Han Dynasty, but over the years, in the hands of Yuan Shu, there has not been much development, mainly Yuan Shu is committed to developing strength, improving the combat effectiveness of the officers in the army, as for what kind of means the officials under his rule will have in secret, in Yuan Shu's view, it is not an important thing.
As long as the rule is stable and there is more strength to support him, it is enough in Yuan Shu's opinion, and it is extremely normal for the wealthy family to secretly seek some benefits for the family they are in.
It would be the strangest thing if the wealthy families could follow the rules.
When the princes were able to achieve success in the war, the families who followed the princes would receive corresponding benefits.
If the war is lost, the interests of these families will be greatly damaged, which is also an important reason why the officials from the family support the monarch's war, but do not support the monarch's instigation of large-scale wars.
How much profit can the princes get when they govern the region, and if the war lasts for a long time, the princes may set their sights on the families under their rule.
Such a thing was very common among the princes themselves, who received corresponding benefits from the families under their rule and threw themselves into the war.
If the war is won, it's easy to say, but if it loses, it's not clear.
Even if the family under the rule of the princes has a certain strength, do they dare to disobey the monarch's orders, in the face of the monarch's orders, they can only carry them out to the letter, and then the monarch suffers, and even some families have to use the strength of the family to help the monarch and let the monarch tide over the difficulties.
Just as many families in Jingzhou oppose the attack on Yanzhou, the outbreak of war is very simple, the key is that when the war is not smooth, it is not so easy to save the situation, the best way is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
