Lu Bu felt that when you have strength, you need to expand, and seizing more territory is the right way.

"My son, I think we should capture Bingzhou first, and then attack Yanzhou southward and enter the Central Plains."

When Lu Bu proposed a battle plan to his son, he was rejected by Lu Zhen:

"Instead of expansion, we will first drive away the Xiongnu from the north and develop internal affairs."

There is another plan that I cannot explain clearly: to conquer the local noble families!

In a word, it is to turn Hedong County into a stable base first!

This not only requires conquering the local noble families, but also gaining the support of the people.

Because the Lu family is not a noble family and rules a place. They will have to compete for profits and conflict with the local noble families.

Therefore, they must deal with this problem first.

But Lu Bu said anxiously:

"Yuan Shao has captured Yizhou, and Cao Cao has captured Chenliu and Xuchang."

"Yuan Shu not only occupied Nanyang County, but also several counties in Yangzhou."

Other princes are expanding crazily at an alarming rate.

Why do you have to wait?!

Lu Zhen sighed:

"Because they are a noble family, and the people who control the place now are also a noble family. Their expansion is the cooperation of family alliances"

"And our expansion means competing with local families for governance and control."

Of course it will be much more difficult!

Lu Bu was unwilling to give in:

"Can't we cooperate with the local families?"

Lu Zhen shook his head firmly:

"No, haven't you seen Dong Zhuo's fate? The world doesn’t look down on us at all"

"Moreover, there is already a conflict of interest between us and the family."

Power can never be shared. If

Lu Zhen wants to build Hedong County as the rear area, he must firmly control everything there.

Lu Bu is no longer angry, but becomes worried:

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with the worldly clan, right? Lu

Zhen said with a bitter smile:

"Naturally, it is difficult. After all, the reputation and strength accumulated by the family over several generations"

"They have worked hard for hundreds of years and control almost everything"

"There is a saying: Imperial power does not extend to the county, but only to the clan."

Even the imperial power is helpless, which shows how terrifying it is.

Now, what the Lu family wants to shake is this kind of family.

Lu Bu only feels that the future is difficult, but he believes in his son.

Because of his son, he, Lu Bu, has achieved what he has today.

Before, Lu Bu was just a subordinate general under Dong Zhuo, and he did not even have the power to lead an independent army.

Now, he has become the governor of Hedong County, with 30,000 elite soldiers under his command, a group of generals, and counselors including Xi Zhicai and Wei Jing.

It is even said that Dong Zhuo also I want to give him the position of governor of Bingzhou. Now Lu Bu is a real border official, all because of his son.

Therefore, although Lu Bu does not understand internal affairs and development, he only needs to trust his son.

Lu Bu immediately delegated power and put Wang Kuang's more than 10,000 soldiers were handed over to Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen took Wang Kuang to Hengqu City to persuade him to surrender.

After his old boss Wang Kuang persuaded him to surrender, Gao Shun opened the city gate without hesitation.

And Lu Zhen finally saw him Gao Shun is in his heart.

Gao Shun is not tall, but has a resolute appearance. He can tell that he is fierce and tough at a glance. Gao Shun has long heard of Lu Zhen's reputation and knows that he is arrogant and evil.

Gao Shun is worried that this person is difficult to deal with. But she saw that he was very kind to her and said:

"Boping, are you willing to guard Qiguan and Yangcheng County?"

Yangcheng County is in the easternmost part of Hedong County, close to Shangdang County, and is the eastern gateway of Hedong County. Qiguan is an important pass guarding the east.

As a surrendered general, Gao Shun was surprised to be arranged in this way.

But he had a look on his face Facial paralysis, he said calmly:

"The final general only has 800 men, and I am afraid that he will not be able to defend these two places. Lu

Zhen smiled and shook his head:

"I'll give you eight thousand people"

"What?"

Gao Shun's paralyzed face can't be maintained anymore.

No~ If you weren't joking, I would be in high spirits.

"Do you really want to give me 8,000 people?"Gao Shun's face became paralyzed and twitched. It was really wonderful.

No wonder Gao Shun was excited, it was really unbelievable.

Gao Shun brought 800 people to Wang Kuang, and in the end he was rewarded with a military prince.

Now that he surrendered to Lu Zhen, he was Eight thousand men were appointed as generals.

This military rank exceeded that of a captain.

It was like a dream.

But Gao Shun really listened to Lu Zhen:

"Ask Boping to concurrently serve as the county magistrate of Yangcheng and the school captain of Qiguan."

Gao Shun's face collapsed.

He stayed for a long time before asking:

"The general wants me to attack Dangjun?"

Generally, big rewards are given to make you sacrifice your life, so Gao Shun felt that there was probably a war.

Lu Zhen shook his head and said with a smile:

"At least I have no plans to attack Dangjun for the time being. The general only needs to sit in Yangcheng County for consultation and train his troops normally."

Gao Shun was surprised, and felt inexplicably relieved.

The most taboo for a general is to be blindly commanded. In fact, it only requires the trust of the lord.

But throughout the ages, how many generals have been treated like this? How many generals have been treated like this? Where is the Ming Lord?

Somehow, Gao Shun felt that he had met the Ming Lord who was in love with him.

Lu Zhen was quietly looking at Gao Shun's attributes:

Intimacy: 30

Force: 89

Intelligence: 78

Control: 98 (It's so cool to watch) For novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Internal Affairs: 46

Skills:

Excellent General: The force of the army under his command +15.

God of Battle Formation: Visit the battle formation in person, military strength +15.

Ambition in the battle: The morale of the attacked troops -15.Three auxiliary combat skills, coupled with super high control, you can see how powerful Gao Shun is when he rushes on the battlefield!

He is simply an ace in the attack!

It’s a pity that Gao Shun’s attack is not used yet.

Yes. He guarded Yangcheng County and interacted with Zhang Liao of Yuncheng, so Lu Zhen had no worries.

He could free up his hands to take care of the internal affairs of Hanoi County, and by the way, he solved the threat of the Huns in the north.

The next day, Lu Zhen and Lu Bu returned to An together. Yicheng.

On the way, Lu Zhen released Wang Kuang from the prison car.

Wang Kuang was born in a wealthy family in Taishan County. He was a man of justice and wealth, a libertine, and had a great reputation.

Before, he served as an official under the general He Jin and once recruited troops in Taishan County. Thousands of people, this shows his energy and appeal.

More importantly, Wang Kuang had a close relationship with Cai Yong.

Therefore, Lu Zhen treated each other with courtesy and treated Cao CaoI showed him my letter.

Wang Kuang was shocked after reading the letter:

"`~This Cao thief actually teamed up with relatives of Hu's mother's class to hide in our army and wait for opportunities to cause trouble!"

Immediately afterwards, Wang Kuang also understood that if Lu Zhen wanted to deal with him, he only needed to use Cao Cao's method, but it was useless!

Wang Kuang was originally unwilling to be captured alive by Lu Bu.[]

Now that he saw that he was almost killed by spies, he was glad that he was captured alive.

"General, why are you showing me these?"

Wang Kuang looked at Lu Zhen strangely.

Lu Zhen immediately tore Cao Cao's letter into pieces and said:

"Gongjie is a righteous person, and I don't want to use intrigues and tricks to deal with you. (Get money)"

Wang Kuang was immediately moved.

In fact, Wang Kuang's current situation is very delicate.

As one of the princes who opposed Dong Zhuo, he was used and abandoned by others, and was even sold by Cao Cao.

Even his former subordinates None of the generals wanted to see him.

Wang Kuang was extremely depressed, and there were people who wanted to die.

Lu Zhen's respect and courtesy to him was his salvation when he was desperate.

Wang Kuang was so moved that he almost cried.

Lu Bu was quite impressed by this. Dissatisfied, he pulled Lu Zhen and asked:

"Wang Kuang is an average person, why are you so nice to him?"

Yes, Wang Kuang is only a third-rate military general.

But he is very famous.

Moreover, Wang Kuang has a tough way of governing the local area and can be called a cruel official.

So there are some things that he just needs to do.

For example, to suppress the local noble families in Hedong, Wang Kuang does It will definitely be easier to get up

"The seat of Captain of Hedong County is still vacant, so Wang Kuang can take it."

After Lu Zhen explained the situation, Lu Bu suddenly realized that Wang Kuang could still be used in this way!

I'm afraid Cao Cao never expected that Wang Kuang was subdued by Lu Zhen.
