Chapter 46: The Edict
"Although ghosts can't hurt people, they can monitor the world for the lord, and I think that the lord should collect more ghosts, form an intelligence force directly under the lord, and explore the intelligence of all the princes for the lord, and now the ghosts around the lord are fewer after all." Xiapi, after proving his worth to Lu Bu, helping Lu Bu to plan, and subduing the Xuzhou Shi clan, Chen Deng began to plan and deploy for Lu Bu in the next step.
First of all, it is a detailed organization that is specifically responsible for exploring the world, which is a must for any big force, otherwise it will be useless if you are resourceful and invisible.
Just like Lu Bu's previous reversal, it is precisely because he has mastered Cao Cao's every move that he can turn the disadvantage over step by step, and many times, an excellent intelligence agency is even more important than a top strategist.
And Lu Bu, who has such a unique ability but only passively uses it, in Chen Deng's view, is undoubtedly a tyrannical thing.
If you are looking for ordinary forces, to form a huge intelligence agency, the manpower and material resources required are definitely a terrifying number, but Lu Bu is different, he has the ability to control ghosts, and in this regard, he deliberately saves countless materials.
"Ghosts are born by collecting the grievances of the deceased, unless the grievances are extremely heavy, otherwise over time, even if it is a ghost who retains the spiritual wisdom of the deceased, over time, the spiritual wisdom will slowly fade, Yuanlong should have seen the countless wandering spirits these days, what is the use of them?" Lu Bu shook his head and said, I knew that this was the case, I shouldn't have refined those resentful souls who were hostile to me in the first place, and now, in addition to Chen Deng, Lu Bu has also subdued more than a dozen ghosts around him.
"Don't you know? Although we don't have the ability of the lord, we also have the ability to make some wandering spirits. Chen Deng said with a smile.
"So what? Those spirits don't have any intelligence, so what's the use? Lu Bu shook his head, he really didn't know this, ordinary wandering souls, he used them to refine a few soul pills at most, and he couldn't think of any use for these things.
"But it may not be, you can follow the example of the army, each ghost guard leads a few or a dozen spirits, and the scope of supervision will be greatly improved." Chen Deng said with a smile.
Lu Bu touched his chin and nodded, "It's okay, this matter is up to you, and let everyone see if they can find other souls suitable to become ghost guards." ”
At the beginning, he did have similar thoughts, but it was not as detailed as Chen Deng said, but there were too few ghosts that could retain consciousness and wisdom, although Lu Bu also tried his best to let Zhou Yuan, Hou Cheng and others find them, but so far they have only found a dozen, and they cannot form a huge monitoring network.
"Husband." There was a knock on the door, Yan came in with a tray, Chen Deng automatically stopped talking, although the other party couldn't see him, but it was best not to disturb Lu Bu at this time, Yan looked at Lu Bu and smiled: "When I came in just now, I saw Mr. Qin go to the main hall, do you want him to come over?" ”
"Go and invite Mr. Qin." Lu Bu nodded and shouted outside the door.
His own guards went to Qin Li, Lu Bu stretched out his hand, took the tea bowl handed by Yan, and asked Yan to sit down and said with a smile: "These things can be done by your own subordinates, Mrs. He Lao?" ”
Yan said with a smile: "With the help of the husband's elixir, the concubine's body has improved a lot, thinking that the husband has not tasted the mandarin duck soup cooked nearby by the concubine for a long time, the servants are afraid that they will not be able to make the taste that the husband wants, and the concubine will make some by herself." ”
Lu Bu picked up the soup bowl, took a sip, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the taste that was already a little distant in his memory, but he couldn't stop, and drank the soup and meat foam in the bowl in one go, before he sighed comfortably, looked at Yan and said with a smile: "Madame's craftsmanship is more exquisite than in the past." ”
It's not a mountain and sea delicacies, the mandarin duck soup is actually boiled out of duck meat, Lu Bu's family is in the middle of the road, when he remembers, he is already a family with four walls, and then Yan sticks to his father's promise, marries Lu Bu, the family situation has improved slightly, Lu Bu's favorite food, is the soup made by Yan's family, although there was no wealth at that time, but a year, can drink such a soup a few times, Lu Bu has been very satisfied, that sense of happiness and fulfillment, now it can only be savored, and it is difficult to experience it anymore.
"It's good if the husband likes it, there is nothing to do, and the concubine can often do it for the husband." Yan took Lu Bu's soup bowl and smiled.
"Lord, Mr. Qin Li has arrived." A guard came to the door and bowed to the room.
"It's important to get down to business, the concubine will retire first." Yan smiled at Lu Bu.
Lu Bu nodded, watched his wife leave, Qin Li came in, bowed to the Yan family, and only came in after the Yan family returned the salute.
"Lord!" Qin Li saluted Lu Bu.
"Sit!" Lu Bu pointed to the mat opposite him.
"Thank you, Lord." Qin Li sat down and said to Lu Bu: "My lord, the imperial court has sent an edict, Yuan Shu wants to go to Hebei to seek refuge with Yuan Shao, and he will pass through Xiapi, and the imperial court hopes that the lord can intercept Yuan Shu and seize the jade seal of the country." ”
"Yuan Shu? Decree? Lu Bu took the edict handed by Qin Li, and after reading it, he thought for a while and said, "In this way, Yuan Shu is dead?" ”
"Not bad." Nodding and saying: "At the beginning of May and February, after Cao Cao returned to the court, he attacked it with Liu Bei in the south, and now Yuan Shu has been defeated, Liu Bei now occupies the land of Runan and Shouchun, and Guangling and Xiapi have received many displaced people from the two places in the past few months. ”
"Liu Bei~" When Lu Bu heard this, he sneered and said: "In this way, Cao Cao has no time to be my enemy anymore." ”
Today, if you want to say who knows Liu Bei best, it is definitely Lu Bu, who has turned into a ghost since the defeat of Baimenlou in his previous life, and has followed Liu Bei for more than 20 years...... I'm afraid that even Guan Yu and the dead Zhang Fei don't understand as clearly as Lu Bu, with Liu Bei's temperament, since the army has occupied Runan and Jiujiang counties this time, it is not easy to make him vomit.
Qin Li nodded silently, looked at Lu Bu and said, "Then the matter of Yuan Shu ......"
When Lu Bu heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "What do you think?" ”
"Li thinks that Yuan Shu arrogates the title of emperor, which is not tolerated by the world, except for it, it can be the name of the Lord's justice, but the jade seal of the country cannot be handed over to Cao Cao." Qin Li bowed and said.
"Keeping it for yourself?" Lu Bu frowned when he heard this, he didn't feel that he had the qualifications to pass on the jade seal of the country, and he still had this self-knowledge.
"No, give it to Yuan Shao." Qin Li said with a smile: "Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are brothers, in fact they are not harmonious, this time Yuan Shao is willing to take in Yuan Shu, more, because of the jade seal in Yuan Shu's hands, the lord beheaded Yuan Shu, it is for the righteousness, Yuan Shao is now a general, and it is not inappropriate to hand over the jade seal to Yuan Shao, although the lord is now an ally with Cao Cao, but our army and Cao Jun have already become fire and water, he will have a battle one day, now that Yuan Shao seems to be strong, but in fact he has lost the righteousness, if the lord will give the jade seal to Yuan Shao, he can marry Yuan Shao, Second, Yuan Shao can also let go of his worries and fight with Cao Cao with all his might, so that Cao Cao does not dare to look eastward, the lord can take this opportunity to recuperate, the two tigers must be injured, and the lord can wait for the two sides to be tired, lead the army west, and take Xuchang directly! ”
