LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 204 Lu Bu surrenders to Xuzhou and captures Zang Ba!
Yes, Du Yu and Zhuge Liang are the only two people who can enter the Confucian Temple and the Martial Arts Temple at the same time!
Gu Rubing never expected that Fazheng would recommend Du Ji to him. If Fazheng hadn't recommended him, Gu Rubing wouldn't even have thought of Du Ji for a while.
Of course, at this point in time, Du Jidu was only in his early thirties, and Du Yu should have not even been born, otherwise he would just take off!
However, although Du Yu is not available for the time being, Du Ji himself is also very capable, and his ability to govern states and counties is unmatched!
Gu Rubing put back his thoughts, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to invite you immediately."
After that, Gu Rubing chatted with Fazheng and Meng Da for a long time before finally taking Fazheng and Meng Da back to his house.
After returning to his residence, Gu Rubing immediately sent someone to invite Du Ji to Qingzhou.
…………
the other side.
Lu Bu led the Bingzhou Army. When they were about to arrive in Qingzhou, the envoy sent by Gu Rubing finally met Lu Bu with food and baggage and conveyed Gu Rubing's intention to Lu Bu.
Of course, the envoy would not say that Lü Bu was treacherous or ambitious, so he refused to take Lü Bu in. Instead, he persuaded him with good words, explaining that Qingzhou was in ruins and could not take in Marquis Wen, so that Lü Bu could go elsewhere.
"This is really unreasonable!"
After the envoy left, Lu Bu finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and said angrily: "The big-eared thief bullied others too much. I led my subordinates sincerely, but he didn't tolerate it. What kind of benevolence and righteousness? From this point of view, Liu Bei is just Hypocritical people!"
Lu Bu's chest kept rising and falling, and his body was overflowing with murderous intent. Apparently, he was very angry when he learned that Liu Bei refused to join him.
All the generals in the tent also fell into silence.
"Now we are homeless. Since Liu Bei refuses to tolerate it, what should we do?"
After a while, Lu Bu finally suppressed his inner anger, looked at the generals in the tent, and asked.
Hearing Lu Bu's words, Gao Shun immediately stepped forward, raised his hands to Lu Bu and said, "My lord, since Liu Bei refuses to tolerate it, now he can only switch to another place."
"What if I join Yuan Shu?"
Lu Bu nodded with an ugly expression, thought for a while, and then asked: "I heard that Yuan Shu wants to go north to attack Cao Cao. At this time, he leads his troops to surrender to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu will definitely not refuse."
"My lord, no."
Upon hearing this, a man in military armor with an imposing manner immediately stepped forward, raised his hands and said, "Yuan Shu is arrogant and arrogant, and now he has a well-equipped army. If my lord goes away, it will be difficult for him to be reused."
Lu Bu's expression suddenly became even more ugly, and he asked, "Wen Yuan, in your opinion, where should we go?"
After Zhang Liao thought for a moment, he hesitated and said: "Why don't you... go to a pottery merchant?"
"What?!"
Hearing this, Lu Bu's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately said angrily: "The pottery merchant came to Xuzhou only because of his father's protection. I, Lu Bu, have a great reputation. Why should I join a kid like this?"
Hearing Lu Bu's words, Zhang Liao looked a little unhappy, but in the end he gave his hand and persuaded him: "Master, now we have no place to stay, so it is most important to find a place to stay first."
"Tao Qian was still unable to suppress Zang Ba and Zuo Rong. Now that Tao Qian is dead, Tao Shang is short of major generals, Cao Cao is troubled externally, and Zang Ba and Zuo Rong are disturbed internally. If my lord goes to Xuzhou, he will surely If it can be reused, I hope my lord will think twice."
At this time, Hao Meng and other generals also nodded and offered their hands to persuade.
"My lord, Wen Yuan's words are reasonable. Now we can only go to Xuzhou."
"Cao Cao in Yanzhou has countless elite soldiers and generals. If he were to surrender to Cao Cao, it would be difficult for my lord to use him in any important way."
"My lord, the most urgent task is to find a place to stay."
Hearing what all the generals said, Lu Bu looked a little unwilling and said, "Do you really want to surrender to this little pottery merchant?"
"Lord."
Gao Shun raised his hands to Lu Bu and said, "Xuzhou is indeed the best place to go right now. My Lord's bravery is unparalleled in the world. The pottery merchant will definitely use my Lord!"
After hearing this, Lu Bu's expression improved slightly. After thinking for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, give me my order and change the route to Xuzhou!"
…………
Soon, another half month passed.
During this half month, Gu Rubing was still recruiting troops, and finally recruited the last 10,000 recruits, gathering a total of 80,000 troops!
After recruiting all the troops, Gu Rubing finally learned that after leaving Qingzhou, Lu Bu defected to Xuzhou and was accepted by the pottery merchants. The pottery merchants also entrusted Lu Bu with important tasks and stationed troops in Xiaopei.
"The pottery merchant took Lu Bu under his wing and allowed him to station troops in Xiaopei?"
After hearing the news, Gu Rubing felt a little weird.
After all, in history, Lu Bu stationed troops in Xiaopei, and finally attacked Xuzhou. Now Lu Bu actually went to Xuzhou again, and the place where he stationed troops was still Xiaopei!
Will Lu Bu attack the pottery merchant again this time?
However, Gu Rubing could actually understand that since the pottery merchant accepted Lu Bu, the only place the pottery merchant could give Lu Bu to station troops was Xiaopei.
After all, Xiaopei is to the west of Xuzhou. Lu Bu stationed troops in Xiaopei, which could resist Cao Cao in Yanzhou. At the same time, he could keep an eye on Zuo Rong in Xiapi, and he and the pottery merchants were at odds with each other.
At this moment, the bodyguard suddenly walked into the mansion and said to Gu Rubing: "My lord, Du Ji has arrived in Qingzhou and is waiting outside the mansion."
Du Ji has arrived?
Hearing this, Gu Rubing took back his thoughts, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Invite him in quickly."
"yes!"
The guards immediately handed over their hands and turned to leave.
Soon, the guards led a man of about thirty years old into the house.
After seeing Gu Rubing, the man immediately raised his hands to Gu Rubing and said, "Du Ji pays homage to the envoy!"
"No gift."
After seeing Du Ji, Gu Rubing immediately stood up and said with a smile: "I have heard of Du Bohou's name a long time ago, and today I finally met him. I am ready to regard Du Bohou as a meritorious official of Qi State, and I hope you will give me some advice in the future!"
"I am willing to serve my lord."
Since Du Ji was willing to come to Qingzhou, he naturally would not refuse. Hearing Gu Rubing's words, he immediately raised his hands and said.
After Du Ji's voice fell, Du Ji's attribute panel finally appeared in front of Gu Rubing's eyes.
…………
[Name: Du Ji]
[Identity: Merit Cao]
[Characteristics: Governing the country and bringing peace to the world (Du Ji’s talent in governing the country and bringing peace to the world), lenient and fierce government (Du Ji’s lenient and fierce administration brings benefits to the people, benefiting the people), ruling the world with benevolence (Du Ji loves the people like a son, and is most famous for his benevolence and righteousness) World!)】
[Characteristics of governing the country and bringing peace to the world: When Du Ji is stationed in a county, the longer Du Ji governs the county, the higher the output bonus of all materials in the county, up to a maximum of +200% of the output of all materials in the county! 】
[Characteristics of a tolerant and fierce government: It is extremely difficult for rebellion to occur in the prefectures and counties where Du Ji is stationed. 】
[Characteristics of governing the world with benevolence: The longer Du Ji is stationed in a prefecture and county, the higher the prefecture and county's popular support will be. After the popular support reaches full value, the county's domestic population will increase by an additional 10% every year! 】
[Counselor level: first-class counselor]
[National Policy: None]
[Strategy Effect: None]
…………
After seeing Du Ji's attribute panel, Gu Rubing's eyes couldn't help but widen!
Du Ji can be said to be a pure managerial talent. With these three characteristics, he was born for the position of governor!
In particular, the characteristic of governing the country and bringing peace to the world can increase the output of all materials in a county by up to 200%, which can be described as unbelievable!
After all, Han Hao's national policy of farming can only increase grain production by 150% at most, while Du Ji can provide the local area with 200% of the total grain production as long as he serves as the eunuch!
Yes, full material output!
What Hextech? !
If Du Ji is placed in a rich county, then given time, it is not impossible for the county where Du Ji is located to support a state with one county!
As for the remaining two characteristics, one directly reduces the possibility of rebellion in the county, and the other increases the popularity and population of the people. Adding the two together, as long as Du Ji serves as the prefect, it is almost impossible to rebel!
If Du Ji hadn't just arrived now and had no merit, he wouldn't have been able to directly take up the high position of Taishou and Prime Minister. Otherwise, Gu Rubing would have wished to directly declare Du Ji as the Prime Minister of Qi!
"Bohou, you have come a long way. You will rest at your residence for two days to recuperate your energy. You will take office in two days."
Gu Rubing suppressed the excitement in his heart and spoke.
"Thank you, lord. I will take my leave."
Du Ji immediately handed over his hand and thanked him, and soon left under the leadership of his personal guards.
After watching Du Ji leave, Gu Rubing's eyes flashed.
Nowadays, Qingzhou can be said to be full of talents, with civil advisors and powerful military generals. The entire Qingzhou has a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses. Even if 30,000 soldiers and horses need to be left to guard Qingzhou, the number of troops that can be mobilized is only 50,000. Ten thousand!
Qingzhou was ruined due to the war before, so Gu Rubing could only recuperate and cultivate the fields for war. Now, it was finally time to consider sending troops to Taishan and Langya to take down Zang Ba, a serious problem!
Zang Ba led the Taishan bandits, entrenched two counties, and separated one side. However, Langya and Taishan counties are the natural dangers of Qingzhou. If Zang Ba is not eliminated, Qingzhou will be uneasy!
Thinking of this, Gu Rubing no longer hesitated and immediately ordered to summon a group of advisers and generals to prepare to discuss the matter of capturing Zang Ba.
Soon a group of advisers and generals came to the house one after another. The generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici were listed on the left, while the advisers such as Xi Zhicai, Fazheng, Guan Ning, and Hua Xin were listed on the right.
"Zang Ba led the Taishan thieves to separate the territories of Langya and Taishan. They plundered the people at every turn and became a serious problem for me in Qingzhou. Now that Qingzhou is stable and has enough soldiers, I want to lead the army myself and raise troops to eliminate the thieves. What do you think?"
After a brief exchange of greetings, Gu Rubing got straight to the point and said.
After hearing Gu Rubing's words, all the civil servants and generals did not say anything, but netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't help but get excited.
"Fuck! Ye Qing is back!"
"Liu Caoxie finally couldn't hold back his loneliness anymore and is finally going to attack Zang Ba!"
"I thought Liu Caoxie had become a farming player like Liu Biao. After all, Liu Caoxie has been recuperating in Qingzhou for more than two years. Now it seems that Liu Caoxie is still the war madman I am familiar with!"
"I'm afraid Zang Ba won't be able to handle Liu Caoxiao's current lineup."
"That's not necessarily true. Zang Ba is not easy to deal with. The Taishan bandits are extremely brave. If they were so easy to deal with, Tao Qian would have led the Danyang soldiers to kill Zang Ba. Those Danyang soldiers are even more powerful than the Qingzhou soldiers!"
