Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 65
Lu Bu finally entered Wan County as he wished. Since the defeat of Liu Xun was a crushing level, the counties were basically very obedient and came to the administrative office to carry out the procedure of entrusting the master.

According to the statistics of Wei Yue and others, this trip to Lujiang can be regarded as another surge in strength after winning Jiujiang.

With 20 shi of food and grass, 1 captives, old, weak, sick and disabled, [-] elite soldiers, plus the Wanxian government's stockpile of up to [-] shi, Lv Bu couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

You must know that this trip only consumed [-] shi of military rations, plus more than [-] cavalry, it was an unprecedented victory.

The good news is not limited to this. Liu Ye's recruiting was much smoother than Lu Bu had imagined. Lu Su approached him three times, and then saw that he was wavering.

Lin Mo was not surprised, he was indeed a member of the royal family, and he had been reduced to being with Liu Xun. It was hard not to be moved by Lu Bu with such a heart-to-heart attitude.

Lu Bu was also very knowledgeable, and wrote a memorial in front of Liu Ye, expressing Liu Ye as the counselor of Yangzhou in the capacity of Xuzhou Mu.

At this time, the role of the imperial court is actually not that great. Lu Bu is just going through a procedure. If you agree, he is a legitimate Yangzhou counselor.

Most of them are self-appointed officials, such as Lu Bu's Xuzhou shepherd and Yuan Shu's Yangzhou shepherd, all self-appointed.

Liu Yao was a Yangzhou shepherd personally appointed by the imperial court, but he didn't dare to go to Jiujiang for fear of being slaughtered by Yuan Shu, so he ran to Jiangdong, but he didn't escape the bully's spear.

Therefore, who owns the official position is the one who has the final say.

But for Liu Ye, it was very useful.

He defected to Liu Xun with a group of people, and he was only a county magistrate in Wan County. Now, as a surrender, Lu Bu invited you to be a counselor in Yangzhou as soon as he met him. Don't be moved, you have to express it immediately.

"May I ask Marquis Wen, how do you plan to solve the banditry in Chaohu Lake?"

"I know there are quite a few of them, but bandits are bandits after all, just let Xuan Gao go, he is an expert in this field." Let Zang Ba, who was born as a bandit, deal with Zheng Bao and the others, focusing on a person who knows himself and the enemy.

That's what I did in Jiujiang.

Lu Bu has almost formed a habit now. After winning a place, he wins over powerful families inside and eradicates bandits and bandits outside.

Liu Ye shook his head, "Marquis Wen, besides Zheng Bao in Chaohu Lake, there are also Chen Lan and Lei Bu in Tianzhu Mountain in Lujiang. There are no less than dozens of bandits on each mountain with 10,000+ people. If you take tough measures, I'm afraid it will backfire. .

My next suggestion is to persuade Huairou to surrender. "

Backfired?Many people?Don't you know that if I want to thump, I thump the fiercest and biggest one?Lu Bu was slandered in his heart, but he still asked patiently, "How can I persuade you to surrender?"

"Wen Houhu's power is not comparable to that of Liu Xun. Bandits like Zheng Bao and Zhang Duo don't dare to overwhelm, but after all, they have tens of thousands of bandits on hand, and they have occupied Chaohu Lake for many years. A strong attack will inevitably lead to casualties."

Lv Bu's reputation was earned by real swords and guns, not to mention mountain bandits, all the princes are a bit jealous, "If Marquis Wen writes a letter to show righteousness, I would like to go to Chaohu Lake to meet Zheng Bao in person. Interests, persuade them to surrender."

Alone in a den of thieves?
Lu Bu instinctively wanted to refuse, bandits were a minority, and more bandits acted according to their own likes and dislikes. If Liu Ye had any troubles, it would be too unworthy. He subconsciously looked at Lin Mo.

"Brother Zi Yang, if you ask for your order to go, you must be sure. Let's just wait for the good news."

"If you want to go to Chaohu Lake in person, I have no objection, but let Chu Nan go with you, I am at ease with him." Back then, Wei Yue was a titan who followed him and defeated Zhang Yan by tens of thousands of people. A mere Zheng Bao is not worth mentioning.

"Thank you, Marquis Wen." Liu Ye swept his clothes and bowed his hands to express his gratitude.

"I'll wait for you to come back and celebrate for you." Lu Bu nodded, his eyes full of determination.

Lin Mo never dared to forget his great enemy Cao Cao, and Lu Bu began to stop worrying about the gains and losses of his own city's food and grass, and instead focused on the preservation of superior forces.

Allowing tens of thousands of mountain bandits to surrender without a fight will not only quickly resolve the situation where there are many bandits in Lujiang River, but may also get a group of elite soldiers.

Of course, the number of soldiers and horses is actually more limited by food and grass, not as many as they surrender.

Especially now Lu Bu, in addition to 5 to [-] people, has to raise [-] war horses, which is very stressful.

After Liu Ye left, Lu Bu remembered something and hesitated, "Lujiang hasn't had time to appease the people. If Ziyang took it with him, it would be much smoother."

"Indeed, brother Ziyang has a high reputation in Yangzhou. With him around, we can get twice the result with half the effort."

Lin Mo turned around and said, "But this matter can't be delayed, let's start with Wan County first."

"That's fine. I heard from Zijing that Duke Qiao of the Qiao family is very prestigious among the scholars in Wan County. How about going to the Qiao family first?"

"Joe's house?"

Doesn't Dongfeng lock Erqiao's Qiao's house with Zhou Langbian and Tongquechun?

Lin Mo seemed to have just remembered that Er Qiao was from Wan County.

According to the course of history, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu married Er Qiao after the attack on Lujiang, which was 198 years.

In other words, Er Qiao is indeed in Wan County at this meeting.

As for men, it's obviously not normal to say that they don't respond to the beauty, let alone a first-class beauty who is famous in the Three Kingdoms.

Just when Lin Mo said he wanted to accompany him, a sergeant ran in, "Marquis Wen, there is a man outside the mansion who claims to be Ruo Rong's servant, and wants to see the master."

Lu Bu looked at Lin Mo, a little puzzled, "Why are you so happy?"

"Maybe it's a good thing."

Lin Mo showed excitement, and said directly: "Bring it in."

Seeing that Lu Bu nodded, the sergeant turned and left.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a gray cloth came in, bowed his hands to Lu Bu, and said, "I have seen Marquis Wen, and my master ordered the villain to come and report to the master, and the things the master ordered have been done. , please rush to Wankou on the 28th of this month."

"It's done well, go back and tell him that this matter is done, and Marquis Wen will be rewarded."

Lin Mo waved his hand, and the famous family member Ding thanked him repeatedly and left.

"What's the matter?" Lu Bu asked with a frown.

"I asked Ruo Rong to restore the waterway business, just to see if I could catch the Jinfan thief Gan Ning, but I didn't expect it to happen." Lin Mo paced back and forth excitedly.

After Xu Sheng dug the corner of the Sun family again, the twelve tiger ministers no longer existed.

Moreover, Gan Xingba is definitely the toughest among the twelve tiger ministers. The most rare thing is that his water combat skills are unparalleled in the world, and he is an extremely important pawn in Lin Mo's planned development route.

"Gan Ning, can a water bandit be called letting Ruo Rong perform meritorious deeds and atone for his sins?" Lu Bu had heard the name Jinfan Bandit before, but he didn't think there could be any big fish here.

"Your Excellency Yuezhang doesn't know something. This person is not ordinary. He is a talent that our army urgently needs."

Lin Mo counted the days, and it was already 26. It is not far to Wankou, and one day's journey is enough, but he needs to order a team of cavalry, so the time is a bit tight, and he immediately clasped his fists and said:
"I will explain this person's situation to Mr. Yuezhang on the way. Time is running out now. Please Mr. Yuezhang take a team of cavalry with me to Wankou to take down Gan Ning."

"It's just a water bandit, so it's fine for Boping to go?" Lu Bu felt that at this time, he should appease the people first, otherwise his attitude would not be sincere enough.

"General Gao, you really can't do it." Even in a land battle, Gao Boping couldn't defeat Gan Xingba.

This kind of person with a flamboyant personality and a willingness to do things can't rely on the army alone if he wants to recruit him. The best way is to subdue him.

"I have to go?"

"I have to go!" Lin Mo's answer was affirmative.

Seeing this, Lu Bu didn't argue with him anymore, this kid sometimes thinks of what he does when he does things, but he often gives people unexpected surprises in the end.

"Forget it, just mess around with you. As for a team of cavalry, I don't need it. Everyone is busy now, and ten cavalry are enough." Your father-in-law and I can hold up a team of cavalry with this Fangtian painted halberd.
