Chapter 70: Broad-minded
However, after the shock, Zhang Zhao calmed down instantly.
Lu Bu contributed money and didn't mention returns, which is definitely tireless.
Soon, Zhang Zhao thought of Lu Bu's purpose. That is, Lu Bu wants cultural invasion and wants people all over the world to learn his simplified characters. And the content of the book is all written by Lu Bu, so everyone is not brainwashed by Lu Bu every day.
Zhang Zhao couldn't help but say: "Wen Hou, run a school widely, and it is okay under Wen Hou's rule." But if you are in Jiangdong, you may be opposed by the Jiangdong scholars. The scholars were never allowed to have more scholars affect their status. If you run a school widely, I am afraid that Wu Hou's status will not be guaranteed! ”
"This!" Lu Bu couldn't help but be silent, and once again realized the influence of the family.
Yes, it's good to run a school widely, but it's too difficult.
If it weren't for the fact that he gave enough money and benefits to the scholars in Xuzhou, this would not have been possible at all.
You must know that all the important economic pillars of Xuzhou have the shares of various scholars and heroes.
In other words, even if these people don't have to do anything, they can always get a lot of money.
They are no longer short of money and can enjoy all kinds of good lives.
And if Lu Bu wants to use the money in the hands of these people, he has to constantly provide them with all kinds of luxury goods.
It can be said that this is Lu Bu's compromise with them.
Now is not the time to break the routine, Lu Bu exhaled deeply: "Okay, let's stop running the school." From then on, the two countries could do business amicably. In addition, we hope that there will be no export tax between the two companies, and that the transaction process and speed will be simplified as much as possible. ”
Zhang Zhaoyi was overjoyed: "So great! ”
Lu Bu nodded, and then invited Zhang Zhao.
After a while, Liu Biao's envoy Yi came to the temple.
Yi is also a talented person, and Lu Bu also gives courtesy.
And speaking of which, he still has to call Liu Biao his uncle.
There is no way, Huang Yueying calls Liu Biao uncle, according to the relationship, he also has to be called.
In this way, Lu Bu, who had never thought of invading the south, naturally agreed to negotiate peace.
Anyway, what he wants is friendly trade, and he doesn't have all kinds of funny cards.
And like Jiangdong, Lu Bu also gave Jingzhou a big order.
What Lu Bu wanted was more silkworm cocoons and mulberry hemp. In short, he will take as much as he wants.
Lu Bu's idea was to let the other candidates produce the primary industry in large quantities, and he would make huge profits from the processing of the secondary industry.
His goal is the whole world, how can he conquer the world without enough material reserves.
But with the power of Xuzhou Prefecture, Lu Bu can't reserve much at all. Therefore, he wants all the resources of the world to be used by him.
And these deals, which are beneficial to both parties, are naturally happy for all.
Soon, Cao Cao's envoy went to the palace.
This time, it was not Xun Yu who came, but Guo Jia.
For Guo Jia, a ghost, Lu Bu also admires it quite a lot.
"Meet Wen Hou!"
"Sit down!"
The etiquette of this era is to kneel and sit, and Lu Bu can't break it for a while, so he has to keep it as usual.
After all, it's easy to ask of yourself, but it's hard to ask of others.
As for Lu Bu himself, no one can control it, he can sit as he wants.
Anyway, there was a desk in front of Lu Bu, and the people below couldn't see his sitting posture.
After sitting down, Guo Jia hugged his fists and said: "Jia's envoy this time is to represent the prime minister to Wen Hou to discuss peace. ”
Lu Bu nodded: "Feng Xiao said directly." ”
Guo Jia also nodded: "Wait for great talents, govern the country well." His Majesty wants to crown Wen Hou as the king, and give Wen Hou the right to form his own court and proclaim himself a courtier. Xuzhou belonged to the land of Chu during the Warring States Period, and Wen Hou once compared himself to Xiang Yu. Therefore, His Majesty gave the title of King Wenhou Chu. ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole dynasty shook.
O king!
You must know that Gaozu has had ancestral training, and those who are not surnamed Liu cannot be crowned kings.
And now, not only is Lu Bu crowned king, but he can also form his own court and self-appointed courtiers.
In this way, wouldn't everyone be able to rise and rise their identities.
Sure enough, soon, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty showed joy.
And Lu Bu, how is not speechless.
The horizons of these people are too small.
However, this does have certain benefits for Lu Bu.
Although he wants to be emperor himself, it is best to take it one step at a time.
There are too many problems to claim the title of emperor.
However, if you make the transition from being the king and slowly establish and stabilize your own political team, it will only be a matter of course to become the emperor in the future.
Lu Bu smiled: "This is the sincerity of the prime minister's peace?" ”
"Of course it's not all!" Guo Jia said unhurriedly: "In addition, the prime minister also wants to transfer the entire boundary south of the Yellow River to Wenhou governance. What does Wen Hou think of this sincerity? ”
The entire territory south of the Yellow River, doesn't it mean that all of Cao Cao's territory was given to him.
I have to say that Lu Bu was also shocked.
But soon, Lu Bu understood Cao Cao's intentions.
It seems that Cao Cao wants to go north.
According to the historical track, it is also time for Cao Cao to break through Yecheng and transfer the administrative office to Yecheng.
Lu Bu said with a smile: "The prime minister transferred all the boundaries to Ben Hou for governance, so where did the prime minister go?" ”
Guo Jiadao: "The prime minister wants to go north to Jizhou, as long as he can get Jizhou, the prime minister will move to the administrative office and transfer all the southern boundaries to Wenhou." But the prime minister is weak, and he hopes that Wen Hou can help. ”
"How can I help?"
"First, the prime minister hoped that Wen Hou would be able to return all the prisoners of war in Pengcheng. Second, it is also hoped that Wen Hou can fund a batch of ordnance. The sooner the prime minister takes Jizhou, the sooner Wen Hou will be able to get the boundary of the three southern states. ”
"Hahahaha!" Lu Bu looked up and smiled: "Ben Hou is not in a hurry to ask for these territories. If he had won these territories, he would have divided his troops and garrisoned them. Moreover, it will also border with Liu Biao, Zhang Lu, Ma Teng, Liu Bei and others. The future struggle is unknown. Guo Fengxiao, do you think this candidate is stupid, or Prime Minister Cao Cheng thinks this candidate is stupid! ”
What the!
Guo Jia instantly broke out in a cold sweat, this Lu Bu actually saw through his intentions in an instant.
What's special, who said that Lu Bu was so happy, people can see everything clearly, clearly.
"This!" was shocked for a while, and Guo Jia didn't know how to say it all of a sudden.
However, in a moment.
"Yes!" saw Lu Bu smile and said: "Ben Hou agrees to Prime Minister Cao's peace conditions, but I also want Prime Minister to agree to Ben Hou's request!" ”
"Wen Hou, please speak!" Guo Jia had something to say and resolved the embarrassment.
"There is only one condition for this candidate, that is, the prime minister allows my Xuzhou caravan to enter and leave the prime minister's territory freely. All customs clearances shall not be blocked, inspected, or tariffs shall be collected. As long as he agrees, Ben Hou will not only return the prisoners of war, but also give a large amount of armaments to support the prime minister to go north to destroy Yuan! ”
"Okay, Jia Dai Cheng should go down!" Guo Jia immediately responded: "These boundaries were originally going to be assigned to Wen Hou, and Wen Hou caravan wanted to pass, so naturally they could just give it." In that case, can you please wait for Wen to make a paperwork? ”
"Why not!" Lu Bu said in a positive voice: "Guo Fengxiao, what I want to tell you is this." The reason for the return of prisoners of war was not to have more family suffering. In the first battle of Pengcheng, more than 10,000 soldiers of Cao's army were killed. How many people in Yanzhou wear linen and filial piety, and how many people have lost their sons, husbands, and fathers. The world has been in turmoil for too long, and it needs to be settled. There are too many candidates, and they must be reduced one by one. Yuan, it's time to withdraw from the stage of history! ”
What the!
Lu Bu said a word and shook Guo Jia in place.
For the first time, he felt Lu Bu's mind directly, how broad and bold it was!
Yes, after the First Battle of Pengcheng, Cao Cao's prestige was greatly reduced. It can be said that many people in Yanzhou are now dissatisfied with Cao Cao.
If it weren't for the fact that there were enough troops to deter them, I am afraid that a riot would have started a long time ago.
When the battle is won, everyone rejoices. And if you lose the battle, you will be angry in all kinds of ways.
And some careerists will make a big fuss to attack Cao Cao's regime.
You must know that in the battle of Pengcheng, Cao Cao lost 30,000 people. Now the Han population is shouting, this number is already very serious.
There is no way to resurrect the 10,000 who died in battle, but if the 20,000 prisoners of war can be exchanged, they can save Cao Cao a lot of prestige.
Therefore, Cao Cao tried every means to reconcile with Lu Bu and win benefits.
At this moment, feeling Lu Bu's broad mind, Guo Jia couldn't help but bow his head: "Wen Hou is broad-minded, ambitious, and obedient!" ”
