Chapter 709: Talking in the Dark
Especially when facing the elite soldiers led by Lu Bu, it will make people feel a deep sense of helplessness in their hearts.
In this case, it is naturally the best thing to be able to unite other forces to eliminate Lu Bu, no matter how strong Lu Bu's strength is, in the face of the combination of the armies of the two sides, can he still come out of it.
If Lu Bu can still succeed under such circumstances, it will be the most shocking thing for the princes of the world.
Among the current princes, whether it is Yuan Shu or Liu Biao, they are all powerful existences, when it comes to the heritage under the rule, the Jingzhou occupied by Liu Biao is extremely terrible, has not experienced too many wars, and has a large number of people, after the outbreak of the war can bring great help to Liu Biao is conceivable.
It is not a wise move for a prince to fight against the Jingzhou army at such a time, and if he does not do better in the war, he may be unlucky in the war.
War is an opportunity for the princes, and it is also a turning point, and if they cannot win in the war, they will be damaged in the war, and sometimes the loss is even difficult for the princes to accept.
In the process of developing and rule, the princes will definitely experience such and such setbacks, and the key is to see what kind of means the princes have in the face of these setbacks.
Lu Bu is a military general, and his reputation among the princes determines that if he wants to make the rule get better development, the difficulty must be great, in fact, in the process of the development of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, he is indeed facing many problems in this regard.
However, in the face of these problems, Lu Bu did not admit defeat, he had a disadvantage over other princes in terms of reputation, what could he do, Lu Bu relied on strong means to gain a foothold among the princes, so that more princes understood how difficult it would be to rely on other princes to get benefits in his hands.
War is an opportunity for Lu Bu, and the defeat of Yuan Shu and Liu Dai is a good illustration.
At present, the combat effectiveness of the Yanzhou Army and the Xuzhou Army has been greatly improved compared with the past, even if the Yanzhou Army has not been formed for a long time, when it is put on the battlefield, will the enemy army dare to despise it?
If this is the case, why did Yuan Shu unite with Liu Biao, it is because Yuan Shu did not have the slightest chance of winning against Lu Bu, and the victory in the previous wars made Yuan Shu deeply aware that when the young martial artist Lu Bu had grown a lot.
Xu You's arrival made the officials of Pengcheng secretly discuss, and Xu You represented Yuan Shao, the leader of the princes' alliance.
The alliance between Yuan Shao and Lu Bu is not a secret among the princes, as for the exchange between the interests of the marquis of such an alliance, it is not something that other princes can spy on, it can be expected that a powerful prince like Yuan Shao will definitely be able to get a lot of benefits from it after forming an alliance with Lu Bu.
You must know that under the circumstances at that time, choosing to form an alliance with Lu Bu would have to suffer the loss of reputation.
The princes of one side cherish their reputation, they are not Lu Bu, and if their reputation is bad, they don't need to care more.
When the princes have a good reputation, it is of great help to the princes to recruit talents, and even help the princes get the support of more families.
After all, when some families choose the princes they support, they must not be able to close their eyes to the reputation of the princes.
The reputation of the princes determines how much support they will receive in the future, if the reputation of a prince is too bad, even if the strength of the prince is strong, it is not easy to have a greater achievement when the princes are competing for hegemony.
It can be seen from the fact that Lu Bu became the owner of Xuzhou, when Lu Bu came to Xuzhou, how much effort did he make for the development of Xuzhou, and how much family support could he get for these efforts?
Up to now, even Lu Bu can't guarantee that the Xuzhou family has absolute support for him.
The cooperation between the monarch and the family is often full of variables, especially the powerful family, when they think about things, they tend to be more comprehensive, and even sometimes, because of a move by the monarch, and more ideas.
Lu Bu naturally does not have the slightest good impression of such a wealthy family, but the family under his rule is like this, and he can't eradicate them all, who will do things when the time comes.
When dealing with the family, Lu Bu had to take brutal means, and used brutal means to make these families realize that if they want to get the corresponding benefits from the hands of his monarch, they must contribute more strength to the development of Xuzhou.
And the prestige from the monarch cannot be ignored, Lu Bu's actions in Xuzhou and Yanzhou are not to show the power of the monarch, so that more officials realize that living under his rule, you must have corresponding actions, abide by the corresponding rules, if you don't talk about it, you will face a bloody disaster.
Lu Bu has brutal methods when governing the city, which is also a place that many families are afraid of, this is the kind of monarch who was born as a military general, and he will draw his sword against each other if he disagrees, and the best way to not want the family to suffer in the hands of Lu Bu is to have more cooperation with Lu Bu in normal times, so that Lu Bu does not feel the threat brought by the family.
In fact, the family that chooses to cooperate with Lu Bu further can get a lot of benefits in this process, which is also the shrewdness of Lu Bu when doing things.
Let the families under their rule feel the pressure and get certain benefits at the same time, they will be more dedicated when doing things, and at the same time, let other families understand that after cooperating with the monarch, there will be so many benefits.
When more and more families have such thoughts, the governance under the rule is relatively much easier.
Let the people under his rule enjoy a more stable life, and let these families sincerely take refuge, how can it not be Lu Bu's goal.
But Lu Bu knows that there is a long way to go to accomplish this, at least from the current situation, it is not easy to do it.
The impact of the alliance between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao was not something that Yuan Shao could eliminate by sending an envoy to Xuzhou.
Yuan Shu and Liu Biao's strength after joining forces is really a bit terrifying, even if Lu Bu has to be more cautious when dealing with this matter, he doesn't want his efforts to come to naught.
