New Lubu War

Chapter 14 The Return
three days later.

More than a thousand soldiers with new clothes and armor, including horses and harnesses cleaned, embarked on the road back to the south.

Lü Bu was in the middle, Lieutenant General Gao Shun was on the left, Zhang Liao was on the right, Hao Meng, Cao Xing and others followed, galloping along with the team.

Behind the army, there are thousands of horses full of belongings.

Behind them were more than [-] good horses on the prairie, urged and drawn by more than a hundred soldiers, and followed closely behind.

Bringing the booty of hunting down the Hulu for a month, Lu Bu returned with his troops.

"More than [-] million yuan, this amount of money is already good!"

Riding on the horse, Lu Bu looked around, secretly pleased with himself.

"Compared to the wealthy families of the Central Plains, it is a little less, but my brother is in the frontier, far away from the vortex of the imperial court, and does not have to deal with the important figures in the imperial court, which saves huge expenses!"

"It's more than enough to train soldiers and form an army, even if tens of thousands of people are recruited!"

"And these war horses!"

Turning around and looking at the galloping horses behind, Lu Bu smiled.

"More than [-] high-quality war horses, I am afraid that the current Luoyang court will not be easy to get together? Hehe!"

Although the exact date is unknown, it is undoubtedly the end of the Han Dynasty.

It was the time when the imperial court was corrupt, soldiers and horses were slack, and money and food were scarce.

With the background of a big man, it is estimated that there is not much shortage of armor and weapons, but there must be a shortage of war horses.

He remembered that when suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising, almost all the soldiers and horses used by the Han court were infantry, and the number of cavalry was very small.

Although it is said that elite cavalry is not needed to deal with mud-legged yellow turban thieves, but the Han court did not use cavalry.

When Dong Zhuo led his army into Luoyang, his mixed troops of only [-] infantry and cavalry frightened and annexed the imperial guards in the capital at that time, thus controlling the court.

From the side, it shows how fragile the Dahan center is at this time.

It also shows the lack of horses and cavalry of the Han Dynasty.

This is not the period of Wei Huo!

The national power is far from being compared with the peak period.

Only in the area far away from the imperial court and bordering the Hu people in the frontiers can there be a certain scale of cavalry formation and army garrison.

Such as Bingzhou, such as Youzhou, and Xiliang.

Dong Zhuo dared to be so strong and unscrupulous because he had mastered the Xiliang cavalry, and the eighteen princes could do nothing about it.

Not to mention that the princes are not in harmony, the final result is that they can't help others.

"Bingzhou, the potential is not weaker than Xiliang!"

Looking at the rising sun, Lu Bu's eyes were inexplicable, and he thought to himself:
"With more than [-] war horses, I can form a powerful cavalry team, and let the name of Bingzhou wolf cavalry shake the world!"

"The top priority is how to control the entire Wuyuan County after returning to Jiuyuan, and obtain the position of governor recognized by the imperial court!"

"Without a name and a role, even if you can act in secret, it is not a long-term solution to lack a name!"

Frowning, Lu Bu thought to himself.

It is not difficult to secretly control Wuyuan County.

With his reputation in Wuyuan County and his position as a thief Cao Cao, it is not difficult to develop an army in the name of resisting the Hu people and secretly prepare forces without the county guard, long history, and captain.

After all, in the past few years, under the instruction of the county sheriff, he was in charge of these matters.

"It's a pity, Du Zan, Du Zan, why didn't you tell the imperial court earlier, so that brother can become the captain now?"

Sighing again, Lu Bu felt a pity.

If he is the captain of Wuyuan County, he can be in charge of the frontier army in a legitimate manner, and even the county guard has no right to intervene.

If we enter the future era of separatist regimes, the captain in charge of the army can even blatantly kill the county guard, and then assume the post of prefect himself.

This kind of thing was not uncommon in the Three Kingdoms era, and many princes were born in this way.

"Du Zan was the prefect of a county. Even in future generations, he would still be the mayor. He was a dictatorial mayor caught by the military, the government and the people. His death is not a trivial matter!"

Thinking back, Lu Bu frowned and thought:
"Why is it recorded in the history books that after Du Zan, there was no more governor in Wuyuan County?"

"Is the imperial court blind? The frontier fortress has left the sheriff vacant?"

Historically, the prefects on the border of the Han Dynasty have always been served by famous generals who can recruit and fight well. If unfortunately they die in battle, they will be replaced immediately.

Therefore, once Du Zan died, there would be no more sheriffs in Wuyuan County, so there must be something wrong.

Of course, it may also be that the Han court has come to an end, too busy to take care of itself, and has no energy to take care of this.

"So, what time is it?"

"To what extent did eunuchs fight with factions?
"Did the Yellow Turban Uprising happen?"

"Or, the Hanling Emperor has passed away, and He Jin is in power, fighting wits and courage with the eunuchs. The court situation is changing and changing, and no one is in the mood to control the frontier?"

Recalling the historical records he saw in his previous life, Lu Bu fell into deep thought.

At present, the most important thing is to determine the time. Only when you know what time period is it, can you decide what to do next.

First of all, Dong Zhuo definitely did not enter Luoyang.

Secondly, Ding Yuan is not yet the governor of Bingzhou.

According to previous memories, the current governor of Bingzhou is Zhang Yi, not the future "foster father" Ding Yuan.

"Zhang Yi seems to have died in 188 AD?"

Lu Bu thought to himself:

"In 188, the Xiongnu, Qianghu and other Hu tribes rebelled. Zhang Yi died in this Hu people's invasion. After that, Jinwu Dingyuan took office as governor of Bingzhou!"

Zhijinwu is better than Jiuqing, and he is sent to serve as the governor of a state, which is equivalent to delegating to the localities.

I don't know exactly when, but nine out of ten it was around the end of 188 AD.

So, it must be before 188 AD.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion, in 184.

"From the perspective of time, the Yellow Turban Uprising is coming soon, at least close to the time period of the Yellow Turban Uprising, that is to say, the troubled times are not far away!"

After the Yellow Turban Uprising, a series of major events occurred in the Han Dynasty, which led to the end of this ancient and powerful dynasty.

The Xiliang Qianghu rebellion has never stopped, and the Huns in the north, Wuhuan, Xianbei, etc. followed the rebellion at every turn, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans everywhere made the whole world turbulent.

As for the court, let alone.

Not long after the Yellow Turban Uprising was suppressed, the policy of "replacing history with animal husbandry" came out, and then Emperor Hanling burped, and He Jin became a general, ranking above the three princes, and single-handedly in charge of the court.

He Jin, a butcher, was simply one of the most stupid people in history, yet he died at the hands of an eunuch!
Or be tricked to death by tricking children!

Immediately afterwards, Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, showing unprecedented cruelty and unscrupulousness, and opened a new page in history.

"What year is it now? Damn, what is Guanghe seven years, I don't understand!"

Lu Bu thought in distress.

He is very fond of the stories of the Three Kingdoms, but he can't remember the early years clearly.

All he could remember was Jian'an.

It was the year name that Cao Cao set when he welcomed the emperor into Xudu, and it has been in use for more than [-] years.

Looking around Gao Shun, Hao Meng and others, Lu Bu pouted secretly.

"What a bunch of reckless people, they don't care about state affairs, and their understanding of the situation outside Wuyuan County is worse than that of their predecessors!"

The return journey continues.

Although the soldiers accompanying the army are all cavalry, with a huge amount of nearly [-] million in property and more than [-] horses, it is impossible to speed up.

Fortunately, although this team was huge and cumbersome, the barbarian tribes on the grasslands also avoided it, and no one dared to come to plunder.

The prestige of the 'flying general' has already spread throughout thousands of miles with this month's rush to kill, and no one is afraid of it!
Therefore, the road to return is without surprise or danger.

Even so, at the end of the day, it was only less than a hundred miles.

But half a month later, he returned to Wuyuan County.
