New Lubu War

Chapter 202

The Hu people in Bingzhou, not only no one is looting, but they are slowly turning to farming, from herding to farming.

In addition, there are no wealthy families in the territory, so there is no such thing as annexation of land by wealthy families. Whether it is Han or Hu, there is no shortage of arable land.

In order to escape the war, the refugees from the Central Plains were highly valued by Jia Xu and others.

According to the Bingzhou policy, all the government lands will be distributed, seeds will be distributed free of charge, cattle will be leased, and there will be no tax for three years, so that they can quickly settle down.

Anyway, Bingzhou has a large area and few people, and there are no wealthy families to occupy the land. The land is sufficient and owned by the government, which is enough to settle these refugees.

As a result, the population of Bingzhou has doubled, the law and order is good, the people's life is stable, and it is gradually becoming prosperous.

Not only that, but the number of war horses is sufficient.

Although most of the Hu people in the territory turned from herding to farming, the number of cattle, sheep and horses did not decrease.

Jia Xu and others opened up several large-scale pastures in Shuofang, Beidi, Xihe and other places, which were all owned by the government.

These pastures are all managed by Hu people who are good at grazing, and the effect is very good.

In addition, on the northern prairie, countless Hu people groups and tribes pay tribute regularly every year. In Bingzhou now, there are countless cattle, sheep and war horses!

The [-] army, in addition to sufficient meat to train hard every day, also has all cavalry, even two horses per rider!
Knowing the current situation in Bingzhou one by one, Lu Bu nodded secretly.

Just as he expected earlier.

In the original Bingzhou, barbarians were rampant, robbers were everywhere, and people's livelihood was difficult to develop, so it was not a good place to start.

But as long as the barbarians are suppressed and the people live and work in peace and contentment, Bingzhou's people are bloody and brave, and the excellent horse resources are actually an excellent place.

The people of the Han Dynasty, while being brave and aggressive, also advocate loyalty and righteousness. They are the best soldiers, especially the people of Bingzhou.

Plus there are plenty of war horses, and there is no shortage of beef and mutton. Is there any better place than here?
After nearly [-] years of operation, it's time to shine!

……

March.

Jiangdong.

Lujiang.

A handsome, handsome and domineering young man, surrounded by dozens of guards, was looking north across the river on his horse.

"Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are facing each other at Guandu, so the rear must relax!"

This outstanding handsome and domineering young man stared at him for a while, then turned his head and smiled at another handsome young man next to him:
"Gongjin, I want to take advantage of Cao Cao's unpreparedness, attack Xudu, and welcome the emperor to Jiangdong. What do you think?"

"Hahahaha!"

Another handsome young man looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, saying:

"Bo Fu is bold and heroic, so there is no reason for Yu not to follow!"

"it is good!"

Seeing that he agreed, the handsome and domineering young man beamed with joy, and said:

"With Gongjin's words, my confidence has greatly increased, and I will definitely teach Cao Cao an unforgettable lesson, hahahaha!"

After all, he looked up to the sky and smiled, looking extremely heroic.

These two people are exactly Sun Ce, who is known as the "little bully", and Zhou Yu, who is known as the "beautiful Zhou Lang".

Since he offered the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom to Yuan Shu in exchange for [-] soldiers and [-] horses, and led his army to conquer the South, Sun Ce was invincible and invincible. In a short period of time, he established a large foundation.

There are a lot of civil and military talents under his command.

With the full support of his good brother Zhou Yu, and the help of Lu Su and Jiang Dong, generals Tai Shici, Zhou Tai, Dong Xi, Yu Fan and other civil and military votes were received.

Successively defeated Liu Yao, drove Xu Gong, surrendered Wang Lang, captured Lujiang, Wujun, Danyang, Yuzhang and other places, and annexed the whole territory of Yangzhou.

He also defeated Huang Zu in Xiakou and Liu Pan in Jingnan in a row, and refused Liu Biao to go abroad.

'Little Overlord' made great military exploits and attracted the attention of the world.

Even Cao Cao praised himself, "It's hard for a lion to fight for the front"!
At this time, Sun Ce is in high spirits and working hard.

"Bofu!"

Zhou Yu laughed and said:

"You are scheming secretly, don't you care about your in-law relationship with Cao Cao?"

It turned out that at the beginning of the year, due to the pressure brought by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was unable to look east, so he treated Sun Ce with a pacifying strategy.

Not only made Sun Ce a rebel general and Marquis of Wu, but also betrothed his niece to Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Kuang, married Sun Ben's daughter for his son Cao Zhang, and enlisted Sun Ce's younger brothers Sun Quan and Sun Yi as talents.

Therefore, during this period of time, the relationship between Cao Cao and Sun Ce should actually be quite good.

But Sun Ce planned to take advantage of Cao Cao's confrontation with Yuan Shao, and secretly planned to attack Xudu and welcome the emperor to Jiangdong!
Obviously, he wants to replace Cao Cao and come to "hold the emperor to order the princes" by himself!
This kind of behavior, no matter how you look at it, is a bit unethical.

That's why Zhou Yu made such jokes.

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing this, Sun Ce didn't think he was disobedient, but laughed and said:

"How can important military affairs be confused with personal affairs?"

Pointing to the north with the whip in his hand, Sun Ce continued to laugh and said:
"Then Cao Cao, aren't Yuan Shao childhood friends? The two have a strong personal relationship, aren't they also sharpening their knives at this moment, and are hostile to each other?"

"it is good!"

Zhou Yu said hello, clapped his hands and smiled:
"This is the Bofu I know. He is heroic without the benevolence of a woman. He doesn't care about trivial matters. He doesn't abandon the public because of private affairs. He is indeed the number one hero today!"

"Hahahaha!"

Sun Ce laughed again and said:
"It's overrated, Gong Jin, you are an unparalleled talent among national scholars, I am ashamed to say such a policy!"

"It's just telling the truth, why be ashamed?"

Zhou Yu laughed.

"Hahahaha!"

The two looked at each other and burst out laughing at the same time.

'tap tap'

At this moment, a rider came running from a distance.

"Lord!"

The visitor rode up to the two of them, dismounted quickly, clasped his hands together, and said to Sun Ce:

"The envoy of General Lu Bu of Bingzhou has come and is waiting for the lord at the Marquis Mansion!"

"Lu Bu?"

Sun Ce suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhou Yu.

"'God of War' Lu Bu, who has never had any contact with me, what is the purpose of sending a messenger suddenly today?"

In the past ten years, General Lu Bu has disappeared without a trace. Apart from being recuperated behind closed doors, there has been no news. Many people have forgotten that there is such an invincible "God of War"!
But Sun Ce did not forget!

He remembered very clearly what his father Sun Jian said to him when his father Sun Jian returned after the Eighteenth Route princes failed to challenge Dong.

"My son is braver than his father, but we must remember that we must not compete with Lu Bu on the battlefield. This man's bravery is even greater than that of the former overlord of Chu, and he cannot be defeated by human power!"

Over the years, this sentence has often lingered in his ears, and Sun Ce could not forget it.

Since he joined the army, he has always been the first in every battle, and he has never been defeated in the battlefield. He has never met an opponent with a long spear in his hand, and thus earned the title of "Little Overlord".

However, although the 'Little Overlord' has a great reputation, he is only the 'smaller' Chu Overlord Xiang Yu.

Since it is small, it is naturally not as good as it is!
But Lu Bu is recognized as the god of war in the world, even if Xiang Yu is reborn, he may not be his opponent.

In this comparison, it is clear at a glance which is better between 'Little Overlord' and 'God of War'.

Sun Ce had arrogance in his heart, so he was not very convinced.

But thinking about Lu Bu's achievements in the past, even if his heart is higher than the sky, he has to give in.

Outside Luoyang City, with a Fangtian painted halberd, he first defeated Guan Yu in an understatement, and then calmly faced Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, Sun Jian, Xiahou Dun, Zhang He, Xiahouyuan, Ji Ling, Cao Ren, Wu Anguo and other fierce generals of the world.

These fierce generals, now it seems that which one is not famous in the world?
Which one is not a vertical and horizontal battlefield where no one can control it?

But in front of Fang Tian's painted halberd, they were all like a naughty boy playing with a knife, it was useless!
Ten years ago, Lu Bu, the god of war, with a single halberd on a horse, made the heroes of the world helpless and gloomy.

Even after recuperating for ten years, staying behind closed doors and hearing the name of 'God of War', no one is disrespectful and fearless!
"Let's go back home and see what the messenger wants!"

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce.
