Chapter 482: A Failure That Had to Be Admitted

The princes of one side all want to get the opportunity to be strong, and when the strength in their hands is stronger, the benefits they can get are obvious.

The current Han Dynasty can be described as a forest of princes, on the surface the princes are loyal to the Han family, and take the revitalization of the Han family as their own responsibility, but what will they do when the matter really reaches their heads.

It is very likely that it fell into the hands of Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu absolutely denied this matter.

The envoys sent by the imperial court were even directly detained and used by Yuan Shu, which shows that the influence of the Han family has been minimal, and the reason why it is under the banner of revitalizing the Han family is just to legitimize the way to obtain benefits for them.

Among the wealthy families, there is no shortage of shrewd people, how can they not understand the truth, and the general trend of the world is to divide and merge, if the Han family can prosper, it is good, if the Han Dynasty is destroyed, the Han Dynasty resumes the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the wealthy family must also be prepared in time.

The family that has lasted for hundreds of years cannot be dissipated by the change of dynasties.

The growth of a family requires much effort, and they are also extremely cautious when choosing a monarch.

At present, the Xuzhou family has no chance to choose for the time being, they have become Lu Bu's subordinates, and they are more helpless, if they are given a chance to choose again, will they choose to stand on Lu Bu's side? These are unknowns.

Lu Bu is an extremely powerful existence among the princes, and just the strong military force that Lu Bu has is not what ordinary princes want to deal with.

If Lu Bu can be eliminated, the benefits of the harvest will naturally be many, immortal jade, paper and hundred refining blades, such things appear in the hands of any prince, can help this prince grow in a short period of time.

The wealth of Xuzhou is also well-known among the princes, mainly because of this Lu Bu wedding, after the envoys from all parties came to Pengcheng, the things they experienced will bring more shock to the princes.

The number of cities controlled by Lu Bu exceeded that of many princes, and he even became one of the most powerful princes today.

If Lu Bu is reckless and has greater ambitions, it will inevitably affect the surrounding princes, which is also the princes close to Lu Bu, and they need to be cautious.

However, from the overall situation, the troops under Lu Bu are not too many, and there is even a certain gap in terms of numbers compared to princes like Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao.

However, Yuan Shu, who had fought against Lu Bu, knew very well what kind of destructive power the Xuzhou army had on the battlefield, and their strong combat effectiveness could not be measured by the advantage of numbers.

This is often the case in wars, where the side with high morale will have a greater advantage in the war, and even if it is inferior in numbers, it is possible to win.

The reason why Yuan Shu failed in the battle against Lu Bu was because of the strength of the Xuzhou army.

As a powerful prince today, Yuan Shu would not be depressed in his heart after his defeat.

If he had been able to defeat Lu Bu smoothly and occupy the lands of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, Yuan Shu's strength would have reached an extremely powerful level.

At that time, Yuan Shu's prestige could even surpass that of the Han family.

However, in the face of the cruel reality, Yuan Shu's ambition has no possibility of being realized, who would have thought that Lu Bu would be able to form such a strong army in a short period of time in Xuzhou.

What made the princes most awe-inspiring was the cavalry camp under Lu Bu.

Cavalry is the king of the battlefield, if a cavalry is used properly, it can play a role in the war beyond imagination, and Lu Bu is best at leading the cavalry to conquer the battlefield.

If you can't have a better means to restrain the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, if you fight against Lu Bu, you will suffer a great loss.

When Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou, the cavalry of the Huns helped him, and because of this incident, Yuan Shu's prestige was greatly affected.

Although the Xiongnu lived in the territory of the Han people, they were after all alien people, and it was difficult to gain more recognition for attacking the Han army with the help of foreign forces.

What's more, Yuan Shu still failed with the help of the Hun cavalry.

Judging from the current situation, Yuan Shu's situation is relatively embarrassing, not only could he not succeed in attacking Xuzhou, but he lost the city of Yanzhou, and even the city of Yuzhou, only Runan County was lost.

Yuan Shu has a lot of influence in Runan County, but when Yuan Shu can't guarantee Runan's safety, will the officials of Runan still follow Yuan Shu firmly?

The princes and the family are mutual, the family needs the help of the princes, and the princes also need the support of the family.

After this war, Yuan Shu not only had a grudge with Lu Bu, but also had a confrontation with the Jingzhou army, and after this situation continued, the impact on Yuan Shu could be predicted.

Perhaps even Yuan Shu himself did not expect that he would bear such a cruel price in this war.

Yuan Shu is a noble child of the Yuan family, and in front of any child of the family, there is something to be proud of.

But now, Yuan Shu has to admit the defeat of the war, and even after the defeat of the war, he wants to re-establish the alliance with Lu Bu.

Gongsun Zhan's strength is also strong, and the prestige of Bai Ma Yicong is even more famous in the world, but Yuan Shao led the Jizhou army to defeat Gongsun Zhan.

In comparison, some families will make a wiser choice.

Compared with Yuan Shu, Lu Bu's life was better, anyway, Lu Bu won victories in successive battles, and such victories were of great help to Lu Bu's prestige in Xuzhou and Yanzhou.

Even if Lu Bu has a very bad reputation among the princes, these are insignificant to Lu Bu, as long as he can have strong strength, it will make the princes dare not have the slightest contempt when facing him, these are not enough.

After Lu Bu came to the end of the Han Dynasty, he suffered such infamy, what can Lu Bu do.

In troubled times, the best way is to improve your own strength, so that your strength can only be looked up to by other princes, so that the princes will not dare to have more scolding.

Facts have proved that Lu Bu's approach is still relatively effective, and now Lu Bu has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and there are more cities under his rule than Yuan Shu, so Yuan Shu needs to have a more cautious attitude when facing Lu Bu.
