Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 71 Intercalculation

Where an arrow is shot, Lu Bu's arrow can be shot. When he heard that it was Ma Teng, Lu Bu had the idea of ​​shooting him with one arrow. After all, once Ma Teng died, it would be much easier to deal with Han Sui. There is no reason not to do this, although that Ma Chao must die in this way, but this is the most cost-effective.

However, Ma Teng has been hiding in the crowd since he came here. Lu Bu tried to shoot several times but was blocked by others. Even Lu Bu was not confident that he could shoot Ma Teng while alone.

"Since General Ma is here, why don't you show up and speak?" Seeing that Ma Teng was on guard, Lu Bu was not in a hurry, but shouted with his dantian depressed.

"I don't want to, it's just that Ping Taohou shoots Tianxia Wushuang, and Ma Teng may not be able to avoid it. Now that you and I are enemies but not friends, if we appear at this moment, Ma Teng may have no life to go back." It was not Ma Teng who spoke, but It was a soldier sent by Ma Teng to speak out.

interesting.

Lu Bu rode his horse back and forth for a few steps, but he really couldn't find a chance to strike, so he said loudly: "General Ma, tell me, why are you here? Are you willing to surrender?"

"The general is brave and unparalleled in the world. In the past, before the Hulao Pass, the heroes bowed their heads. Ma Teng knew that he was no match for the general. As long as the general did not make things difficult for us, Ma Teng would like to respect the general. He would not dare to disobey the general's orders!" A soldier who shouted ran back, ran back again, and shouted at Lu Bu.

It's also fun.

Lu Bu looked at each other and said, "General Ma, you and I are both soldiers. You should know that Bu can't leave here easily. It's okay for me to retreat, but I need to lead the silk and porcelain transactions in Xiliang. .”

To put it simply, Lu Bu wants wealth and power. Although Xiliang is poor, why can Ma Teng and Han Sui afford so many people? Gein, Xiliang is a place that the Silk Road must pass through, so why did Lu Bu go to Chang'an not to do any other business, only the Zhu family's Zenbu business? The roots are here too.

He wants to control the Silk Road, and controlling this is equivalent to controlling the economic lifeline of Han Sui and Ma Teng. If the two do not want to rebel, they can only be eroded and controlled step by step by themselves through financial power.

Whether it is the experience of the simulated world or the experience of the real world, it clearly tells Lu Bu that if he wants to be in power, he must have military power and financial power in his hands. However, Chang'an's financial power is almost monopolized by the Guanzhong family, and the financial power of Longxi is for the Longxi gentry to work for themselves. Therefore, Lu Bu couldn't move, and even in order to win over, he would need to distribute part of the resources in Guanzhong to these Longxi gentry who had taken refuge in him.

The only thing Lu Bu can do now is the interests of the Silk Road. Not to mention that there must be the shadow of the Ma and Han families behind the Qiang riots. Take the right to operate the Silk Road.

Ma Teng's complexion suddenly changed when he heard the words. Lu Bu's request seemed ordinary or even a bit simple, but it directly choked their lifeline.

If you don’t manage the Silk Road, you will never know how valuable this road is. The silk and porcelain of the Han Dynasty are luxury goods on the Silk Road. The Duhu Mansion has been abandoned, but there are still many barbarians from the Western Regions who come to Dahan every year to buy porcelain and silk.

Ma Teng and Han Sui were able to support so many soldiers and horses, and even Dong Zhuo would be afraid, relying on this Silk Road.

Of course, there are restrictions, no matter how much money there is, but Xiliang itself is poor, and sometimes you can’t spend it if you want to spend it, so you can only find those big families to exchange food, and Hu people to exchange cattle and sheep. In this regard, Han Sui compares Good at it, this is the reason why Han Sui was able to stand on an equal footing with Ma Teng under the premise of having absolute prestige and military superiority with Ma Teng.

Now that Lu Bu opened his mouth to ask for something that many warlords in Xiliang have been fighting for, how could Ma Teng agree?

"General, Xiliang is barren, and we can only get some supplies by relying on the Xihe Corridor. If the general cuts off this road, will it cut off our life?" Ma Teng didn't lose his mind, and let the young general come out to spread the message.

"Why do you think this general came to Xiliang in person?" Lu Bu asked back.

Although Xiliang is barren, it is not so unbearable. It is not only an effective place for the great man to defend against foreign enemies, but also a place that must pass through the Silk Road. It is a pity that no one in the previous dynasties paid attention to the role of Xiliang, otherwise the great man would be worse than now bondage.

As for why Lu Bu knew this, one is that he was influenced by his father Lu Boyong in the simulated world. He has always attached great importance to the economy. Before preparing to send troops to Xiliang, Lu Bu had already carefully studied how Xiliang's economic system is supported. A battle involving tens of thousands of soldiers and horses? Ma Teng and Han Sui, including former Bianzhang, Beigong Boyu, etc., why did they fight for such a piece of barren land and fight so fiercely?

The answer is that there are heavy profits here, and in places like Xiliang, although the place is large, the traditional farming economy obviously takes root here, so the only way to get heavy profits is through other means.

Ma Teng didn't say anything more, money is the way of life, Lu Bu wants other things, as long as they can talk about it, it's easy to talk about it, but since Lu Bu came here for this, there is nothing to talk about, this battle must be fought.

"Since that's the case, let the general see the unparalleled methods of the general!" Seeing that the negotiation broke down, Ma Teng didn't show any humility to Lu Bu, and left a word before turning around and leaving.

"General..." Hua Xiong looked at Lu Bu, wondering if he wanted to chase after him.

Lu Bu looked at the guards beside him, he might not be able to kill Ma Teng if he chased him, he could run away if he couldn't beat him, and he was so close to the enemy camp, it was easy to overtake him.

"Send someone to Jincheng to discuss the matter of surrender with Han Sui." Lu Bu looked at the direction Ma Teng was leaving, and grinned a little bit.

"This Ma Teng is not willing, could it be that Han Sui is willing?" Hua Xiong asked doubtfully.

"I don't want to either. I just asked you to send someone to talk to him, and you didn't really ask him to surrender." Lu Bu glanced at Hua Xiong and said.

So... what's the point?

Hua Xiong looked at Zhang Liao, who was thoughtful and then suddenly realized. He was a little afraid to ask, to avoid being seen that he didn't understand, and followed Zhang Liao to make a look of sudden realization: "So that's how it is. Send someone."

"Do you really understand?" Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Hua Xiong suspiciously. He originally wanted Zhang Liao to go, but since Hua Xiong was so active and it wasn't a critical issue, he could send someone if he wanted to.

Lu Bu watched Ma Teng's camp in all directions, and then went to the vicinity of Jincheng to look at the city defense of Jincheng. The height of the city wall, standing on the mountain and looking at the thickness of the city wall, although it is impossible to be precise, but he has a general understanding of the level of Jincheng's city defense in his heart. .

It's the end of September, and the weather in the northwest is already extremely cold. With Lu Bu's physique, he can feel cold at night with his shirt off. However, Lu Bu is used to washing his body every day to make his body clean. A little bit of coldness can still be tolerated of.

Many recruits couldn't bear to see Lu Bu bathing in the cold river shirtless in the evening. The kind that might freeze, Lu Bu ran to take a bath in the cold river water as if no one was around, this is really beyond the imagination of normal people.

It is also because of this that from time to time in the military camp there will be nonsense about Lu Bu who is not a human being, but the reincarnation of gods and demons, Lu Bu just pretends not to hear it.

On the other hand, Han Sui, who was sent by Huaxiong to Jincheng, also warmly received him, but after talking about it, Han Sui didn't understand what the other party mainly wanted to express.

He said he was here to recruit to surrender, but he didn't mention the conditions, how he would be resettled after the surrender, or anything. Han Sui even wondered if the other party was here for a meal.

After sending off the envoy sent by Hua Xiong, Han Sui was still full of question marks.

"My lord, what does Lu Bu mean?" Cheng Gongying asked Han Sui after returning to look at Han Sui after sending the envoy away.

"Divorce!" Han Sui contemplated for a long time, and finally spit out two words.

He was also fooled by the emissary's random words, and it was not until the emissary left that he carefully sorted out the silk road. He gradually realized that this should be the real meaning of Lu Bu's sending people, to give Ma Teng a kind of negotiation between the two sides. Illusion, let Ma Teng be suspicious.

"So that's how it is." Cheng Gongying suddenly realized that this was not a profound strategy at first, but he was made mysterious by the envoy. This Lu Bu is really powerful, but now that he saw it through, Cheng Gongying looked at Han Sui and said, "In that case, Shall I explain it to General Ma?"

explain?

Han Sui shook his head: "Don't worry, although Lu Bu has the intention of alienating, it may not be impossible for me to use, Zicai?"

"Here!" Cheng Gongying agreed.

"Tomorrow, prepare a gift and go to Lu Bu's camp to discuss the matter. If I am willing to help him break Ma Teng, can you allow me to stay in Xiliang?" Han Sui looked at Cheng Gongying and said.

"My lord, why is this?" Cheng Gongying frowned and said, "If Lu Bu really killed Ma Teng, what if he turns to deal with us?"

"I have a way to hurt both of them." Han Sui laughed when he heard the words.

Yan Xing has already led his troops to Longxi. If Lu Bu and Ma Teng fight head-on, it is naturally best for Lu Bu to defeat Ma Teng. Then he will not be able to fight with him anymore, and then he will be able to win the entire Xiliang in silk without bloodshed. road rights.

Of course, if Lu Bu is defeated, Ma Teng will only be left with remnants. At that time, Xiliang will still be in charge of himself, and he can even take the opportunity to kill Ma Teng. But in that case, it will be difficult to find Ma Teng in a short time. An ally who helped himself to the front.

Cheng Gongying understood that it was not the first time Han Sui had done this kind of thing, and he was very proficient.

"Then I will go to Lu Bu's camp, if that Lu Bu is willing to accept our surrender..." Cheng Gongying worried.

"Then surrender. As long as Lu Bu can continue to prosper, so what?" Han Sui said with a smile, "The reputation is not important. What matters is when we actually control Xiliang."

Just surrender, nothing to be ashamed of.

"The end will understand!"
