Chapter 778: Difficult to develop, easy to destroy
In fact, whether it is Yuan Shu or Lu Bu, in the eyes of some families in Jingzhou, they are powerful existences, they have the ability to start a war, and they have enough background to get out of the war as soon as possible, even if they suffer a certain loss in the war, it is not too important for the two princes.
After getting the corresponding benefits from the war, it is good that the strength of the princes can be improved, and the key is to have more planning when starting a war.
But now even if the Jingzhou family has a lot of opinions, it is too late, because the Jingzhou army has already been dispatched, and in this confrontation, the officials of Jingzhou can only temporarily give Liu Biao more support and give more support to the generals in the army.
Let the officers and men in the army have a greater role in the war, so that they, as officials in Jingzhou, will be able to get more benefits after the war is over.
However, if the war cannot be carried out smoothly, the damage to Jingzhou will also be great.
Over the years, it has been very difficult for Jingzhou to get the development it has today, and many Jingzhou families do not want Jingzhou's stability to change because of the attack on Yanzhou.
The main reason is that Lu Bu's reputation among the princes is too loud, and attacking the city under Lu Bu's rule is not a wise move, after provoking Lu Bu and not completely eradicating Lu Bu, more trouble will follow.
After making Jingzhou have some scruples, once the actions of the Jingzhou army change, some originally conservative officials in Jingzhou will take action in this matter.
Besides, it can be seen from the reaction of Cai Mao, the general of the Jingzhou Army, that in fact, the generals in the army are not so optimistic about this war.
Although the Yanzhou Army was formed not long ago, it was similar to the Xuzhou Army in the way it was formed, and the sergeants and soldiers of the army could enjoy very good treatment, and when the Yanzhou Army recruited non-commissioned soldiers, it also caused a sensation among the people.
Besides, Lu Bu must be concerned about the development of the Yanzhou Army, even the Xuzhou Army is so elite, and it seems reasonable that the Yanzhou Army can do more on the battlefield.
It would definitely not be wise to rush into war against princes like Lu Bu, and if the handling of the war was not proper enough, it would even cause more problems.
It is reasonable for the conservative officials in Jingzhou to have a lot of worries about the war, and Li Su's mission to Jingzhou is to better promote the mood of the Jingzhou officials in this regard.
However, it is obvious that Liu Biao has a firm determination to attack Yanzhou, and he will send troops to attack Yanzhou despite public opinion.
Although the war is coming, there are still merchants who go to Xuzhou, after the war begins, don't you have to live a normal life, when the dignitaries and magnates under the rule of the princes enjoy the convenience of paper, the delicacy of fairy drunkenness and the comfort of fairy jade, they can't leave when they use it.
Leaving for a short period of time is not a small torture for these dignitaries.
The progress of the war, for the bold and careful businessmen, is also beneficial, through the sale of these goods, they can earn more profits, because after the start of the war, these goods from Xuzhou, the price will rise sharply, which is also a reasonable thing, the key is how to better use the price rise to obtain benefits.
When dealing with the relationship between Lu Bu and other princes, the means have always been simple, but when dealing with merchants, he has a generous attitude, and even in Xuzhou and Yanzhou to provide a lot of convenience for merchants, even in the tense situation in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, the price of goods still did not rise.
These events attracted a lot of merchants, especially in the final period of the war, and the number of merchants in Xuzhou and Yanzhou surged.
After Lu Bu learned about this incident, he was also full of emotion, the merchants did not hesitate to kill for the sake of profit, and the princes did not hesitate to do so for the sake of profit, the originally rich and prosperous city may become another scene after the end of the war.
After experiencing the burning of Luoyang, Lu Bu still saw it relatively clearly in this matter, no matter how prosperous the city was, it couldn't help large-scale destruction, building a city, developing a city, it took a lot of energy, but if you want to destroy a city, I'm afraid it will be an overnight thing.
The war is not at the last moment, and Lu Bu will not give up easily, because in Xuzhou, there are things that Lu Bu is difficult to give up.
Since coming to the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty and becoming one of the princes, Lu Bu has experienced something unimaginable to other princes.
But the princes' eyes are too big for Xuzhou.
If you want to have a stable living environment in the troubled times, strong strength is a must, now even if Lu Bu wants to withdraw from the stage of the princes to compete for hegemony, it is impossible, the battle between the princes is often cruel, after one side fails, it is not that there is nothing else, what the victorious princes need to do is to kill them all and eliminate the impact on the rule as much as possible.
The same thing will be the same even if it is put on Lu Bu's body.
War is cruel, when Lu Bu responds to the war, what he needs is enough caution, what he needs is continuous victory, only in this way can Xuzhou be stable, so that the life of his family will not be affected, and the wife and daughter of the family are also where Lu Bu cares.
In normal times, Lu Bu rarely worries about things at home, with Yan Yu in the house, there will be no big things happening, and Lu Bu is still extremely satisfied with the warmth of the family.
If there is no fighting, the family will appear to be happy and more things will be avoided.
Lu Bu is in charge of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, there are many busy places, and there are often many aspects that cannot be taken into account, but the relatives at home have no more complaints about these things, and they silently support Lu Bu behind their backs.
At this point, Lu Bu was very moved, which also strengthened Lu Bu's determination to win in this war, no matter how difficult this war was, he had a reason to win, the strength of the princes after the union did have a terrible side, but Lu Bu would not have more fear when dealing with these challenges.
