If Lu Bu had cared more about this, I'm afraid he would have committed suicide long ago.

The impact of reputation is indeed very great, but Lu Bu, who was born as a military general, is designated as a traitor and a thief for the princes, and he may be polite when he treats Lu Bu on the surface, but it is unknown what kind of remarks he has behind his back.

Just like when the officials of the imperial court treated Dong Zhuo in the past, they didn't dare to have more face-to-face words, but behind them they wanted his life.

Of course, the current Lu Bu is not so hateful in the eyes of the princes, but the existence of princes like Lu Bu will have a certain impact on other princes, after all, Lu Bu is a military general, and there are many gaps compared to other princes.

Especially when Lu Bu's strength became stronger and stronger, more princes even had to have a respectful attitude when facing Lu Bu, and when they cooperated with Lu Bu, they were also very polite.

In the long run, Lu Bu's influence among the princes will be improved to a greater extent, and this situation is not good for some princes who have ideas about Lu Bu, what they want to do is to contain Lu Bu and let Lu Bu's development be more affected.

Yuan Shu was able to stand up at such a time, which was still recognized by many princes, and the key was how much advantage Yuan Shu could occupy when he fought against Lu Bu.

If the alliance between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao cannot be successful, the impact on the princes of the world will be greater, and at that time, Lu Bu's reputation among the princes will be even louder, and even more merchants will be brought to Xuzhou to do business.

And at such times, it is simply impossible for the merchants of Jingzhou and the merchants under Yuan Shu to gain more power from the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Although Lu Bu is a military general, he pays attention to ways and means when developing, especially the monitoring of the secret situation, which has reached a shocking point, and the bad luck of the pavilion master of the Black Pavilion in Pengcheng is a good illustration.

More anger to Lu Bu is not what the businessmen want to see, including the families behind these businessmen, they must have more thought when doing things.

Secretly having a good relationship with Li Su will be of great help to their future development, and they can't do anything until Lu Bu is completely down.

As for saying that it is difficult for Lu Bu to gain an advantage in this confrontation, the situation is another matter, and at that time, the families of all parties will let Lu Bu realize what is called the drastic means of the wealthy family.

Jingzhou, the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Liu Biao said in a slightly low voice: "Many officials have opposition to the matter of uniting Yuan Shu to attack Lu Bu, and in the long run, it will be a lot of disadvantages for this official to govern Jingzhou." ”

Kuai Liang said: "The lord doesn't need to worry, these are just some small families, they want to have business activities with Xuzhou and get benefits from it, how can they see the huge benefits that can be obtained after defeating Lu Bu, and they are just short-sighted." ”

Liu Biao shook his head and said: "No, this matter must have been promoted by someone in secret." ”

"Judging from his subordinates, it must be Li Su, the envoy of Xuzhou." Kuai Liang said affirmatively.

Seeing Liu Biao's puzzled gaze, Kuai Liang explained: "Li Su is the envoy of Xuzhou, which has attracted a lot of attention in Jingzhou, and some of these families want to continue to maintain business activities with Xuzhou by befriending Li Su. ”

"And Li Su came to Jingzhou, I'm afraid the main purpose is to contain the troops from Jingzhou, when the time comes, Yuan Shu will send troops to attack Xuzhou, if Jingzhou has no movement, just by virtue of Yuan Shu, if you want to do more in the battle to break through Xuzhou, it is simply impossible, Yuan Shu was defeated in the hands of Lu Bu before."

Hearing Kuai Liang's analysis, Liu Biao nodded slightly, expressing his approval, "In this way, it is simply wishful thinking to want to make the official retreat, then Lu Bu is a traitor of the Han Dynasty, eradicating such a traitor, for the duty of a courtier, the official is ordered by the saint to govern Jingzhou, how can he sit back and watch such a person live happily in Xuzhou." ”

When everyone heard Liu Biao's words, they didn't care, the current court is unknown, and the influence of the royal family among the princes is very low, otherwise, the princes will not be so unscrupulous when appointing officials, Lu Bu is a traitor of the Han Dynasty, but Lu Bu's Xuzhou Mu is also appointed by the imperial court.

No matter what the reason is in the middle, Lu Bu's identity is no problem, but Lu Bu's previous actions will fall a lot, which is also the direction of the main attack after the union of Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, as long as it can make Lu Bu's reputation among the princes worse, the literati have more discussions about it, and it is absolutely impossible for Lu Bu to turn over in this matter.

Reputation and public opinion, if used properly, can be worth thousands of troops, when the officials under Lu Bu know that their monarch is so unbearable in front of the people of the world, what kind of behavior will they have, I am afraid that the most direct reaction is to betray Lu Bu and change the court.

The conquests between the princes, however, were accompanied by many dangers, and the betrayal of the officials under their rule was often the most deadly, and if care was not taken in this regard, it would be the real danger once other conditions arose.

Lu Bu's reputation among the princes determines that even if Lu Bu has more efforts in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, it is not a simple matter to really get the approval of the princes, especially the literati, when they treat Lu Bu, there are many sarcastic words.

In the long run, even if Xuzhou has a recruitment order, it is impossible to recruit more talents from all over the world to Xuzhou.

Of course, it is not excluded that some people who have never met with talents want to try their luck in Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

And when Lu Bu encounters a crisis, more families may have thought in secret, in the past, Lu Bu's strength in front of the princes was too strong, and it was a little difficult to win the battle with Lu Bu, but now the situation is different, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu are both strong existences among the princes, after the two parties unite, can they deal with Lu Bu's strength? ?

The outbreak of war has a great impact on the rule of the princes, and it is impossible to deal with this aspect better, and disasters will follow.

It is undeniable that Lu Bu's influence among the princes is not small, relying on the influence of strong combat effectiveness, but how useful is such an influence.
