Facts have proved that the impact of such a reputation on Lu Bu is not very great, at least, Lu Bu did not take such a thing in his eyes.

If Lü Bu can win this war, or let Yuan Shu and Liu Biao return in vain, his influence among the princes will be further enhanced, and other princes will have more respect in the face of Lü Bu.

This is also a very realistic thing, when a prince's strength is strong enough, it will be followed by more respect, if the prince's strength is vulnerable, even if he has a good reputation, it will not help.

When the princes compete, it is the strength of the princes, not the reputation of the princes, that is tested.

Reputation can have a lot of impact in some cases, but if you put it on the matter of the princes' struggle for hegemony, there are obviously shortcomings, can it be said that the princes will also affect the next battle because of the matter of reputation.

The actions of Yuan Shao, the former lord of the princes' alliance in Jizhou, are a good illustration, the original Jizhou Mu Han Fu was promoted by the people of the Yuan family, and when Yuan Shao was in Jizhou, he gave Yuan Shao a lot of care, but after Yuan Shao gained a firm foothold in Jizhou, the first thing was to seize Han Fu's Jizhou.

From this matter, it can be seen that in the face of specific interests, what so-called reputation has not a great impact on the princes, and they will not have more scruples in order to get benefits, even if they suffer a great loss in reputation.

The most important thing is to be able to derive concrete benefits from it, as opposed to fame.

When the strength of the princes is not enough, it is the most dangerous.

When the princes have more powerful power in their hands, they want to gain more through war, so that their position can be further stabilized, which is relatively common among the princes.

The princes didn't care more about fame, because they knew that it was impossible to rely on fame to make greater achievements in troubled times, and in that case, it was better to talk about it after sometimes just putting aside their face and getting benefits.

As for what kind of changes will happen in the future, the princes will not care more.

The matter of fame itself is illusory in the face of specific interests, and when there is enough strength and influence, the influence of fame will gradually decrease, and Lu Bu has a deep understanding of this.

When he is strong enough to influence the other princes, the other princes have a respectful attitude towards him.

Now the situation in Xuzhou is tense, and some princes have expressed their attitude at such times, for fear that after the end of this war, they will be affected.

For the actions of these princes, Lu Bu is shameless and understandable.

In the Xuzhou army, although the atmosphere is relatively tense, the officers and men in the army still have a certain confidence in the upcoming war, and the Xuzhou army can win in the confrontation again and again, which shows that the Xuzhou army has the strength to deal with the war, even if it is in the face of the powerful princes, there will be no retreat.

While enjoying good treatment in the army, the officers and men in the army have the need to pay more for the war.

"My lord, there is news from the scouts, although the activities of the enemy scouts have been greatly restricted recently, the number of enemy cavalry is increasing." Jia Xu got the news from the scouts and didn't dare to slack off.

Lu Bu said with a smile: "This shows that the enemy army has a sense of awe for our scouts and does not dare to approach our army easily, which is a good thing." ”

Jia Xu frowned slightly and said, "Lord, this matter is different in the eyes of his subordinates. ”

"Oh? Wen and elaborate. Lu Bu showed interest, for Jia Xu, Lu Bu attaches great importance to it, and at present, Jia Xu is the military advisor of the Xuzhou Army, responsible for the intelligence of the army.

Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "My lord, although the current enemy army occupies a great advantage in terms of numbers, it is obviously difficult to influence our army in terms of scouts, and the scouts of the enemy army before suffered heavy losses when they clashed with our army, it is said that at this time Yuan Shu should mobilize more cavalry into the battlefield to explore the situation and lay the foundation for the next conquest, but the enemy army has no other actions at this time." ”

"This behavior can be attributed to the fact that the enemy is afraid of our cavalry, or it is possible that the enemy has other plans, or it may be that they are coming at our cavalry."

"Our army scouts are extremely active on the battlefield, and the suppressed enemy troops can't raise their heads, and even in the vicinity of Xiangxian, enemy scouts are rarely found."

After hearing Jia Xu's analysis, Lu Bu said: "Wen He means that the enemy army wants to attack our army's cavalry? ”

"Quite possibly." Jia Xu said.

After all, this matter is related to the combat strength of the Xuzhou Army, as the elite of the Xuzhou Army, if the cavalry is damaged, it will definitely have a great impact on the subsequent war.

At the beginning of the war, let your own soldiers maintain a high fighting spirit, and if the cavalry team is damaged, it will have a great impact on the morale of the army.

Lu Bu crisscrossed the battlefield, relying on the strong combat effectiveness of the cavalry, especially at such times, the cavalry team could not be damaged on a large scale, which would affect the future actions of the Xuzhou army.

Lu Bu pondered for a long time and said: "This matter will be investigated by someone and inform Xu Chu that when leading the scouts, you need to be more careful. ”

Under Yuan Shu's account, there are also resourceful people, and these resourceful people will definitely have a great impact on their own army after the war begins, although when fighting Yuan Shu, Lu Bu has no more fear, and takes more situations into account, which is still of great help to the subsequent battle.

Lu Bu didn't want to have a heavy loss of the Xuzhou army when he fought against Yuan Shu.

For the development of Xuzhou, Lu Bu has made a lot of efforts, these efforts need to be rewarded, now Yuan Shu saw the threat of Xuzhou, and planned to send troops to attack Xuzhou, how could it be so simple, Lu Bu would not give up because of Yuan Shu's actions this time.

After the end of the war, Lu Bu will also let Yuan Shu experience what is called the fierceness from the Xuzhou army and what is called the inviolability.
