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

Chapter 74 The Vengeful Lu Bu

Lu Bu stopped visiting the Lujiang aristocratic family in a fit of anger after being scolded by Mr. Qiao.

Lin Mo agrees, it's fine if the situation doesn't go away now, Duke Qiao is respected among Lujiang scholars, if he isn't dealt with, most of the other great families will also act in a way that seems incongruous.

This kind of conflict is easy to reconcile, and it can be resolved when Liu Ye comes back.

The gentry annexed land locally and refused to pay taxes. It is not unique to today. It is normal for them to look down on Lu Bu, who represents the lowly nationality, because the two are the opposite of interests.

But they dare not even buy Liu Ye's account.

In addition to Liu Ye's prestige in Yangzhou, Liu Ye's surname Liu is too important. After Liu Xiu, he represents the imperial power to a certain extent. Give food give food.

Therefore, in many places, the imperial power suppressed, and the gentry echoed while trying to get rid of it.

For example, Liu Zhang in Yizhou and Liu Biao in Jingzhou were typically puppeted by the gentry.

However, this problem does not exist for Lu Bu. It was Lin Mo's idea that Liu Ye was pushed to this position. From the perspective of balancing the gentry, he is just a "puppet imperial power" in Lu Bu's hands.

Of course, Lin Mo knew very well that Liu Ye was a counselor first, and a tool man second, and this couldn't be reversed.

Lu Bu is not just waiting around. The Lujiang River is suffering from severe flooding. I heard from locals that since last year, too much rain has caused the embankments of the Changshui and Wanshui rivers to burst, and many villages along the way have been affected.

In the vicinity of Wan County, he even personally took people to build dams, and the local villagers also thanked Lu Bu with the few eggs.

The people who had never met Liu Xun even dared to say to their faces, "Marquis Wen is much better than Prefect Liu", which made Liu Xun cursing in his heart.

Lu Bu knew very well that for people like them, the officials represented by powerful families would not care about their lives.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here from Jiuyuan desperately.

However, too many sections of the river were damaged, and this problem caused Lu Bu a lot of headaches. He wanted to repair them all, but he didn't have so much money and so many people.

At this time, Liu Ye just came back.

"Marquis Wen, I have convinced Zheng Bao and Zhang Duo to lead their troops to surrender, and they have a total of fifteen thousand bandits in their hands."

hiss.
Lu Bu was smiling, but he was scolding his mother in his heart.

Soldiers and horses are not the more the better. If you have money and food, you can quickly expand your army at any time. The problem lies in the word poor.

Why did Zhang Ji run from Guanzhong to Nanyang to fight Liu Biao, and finally died on the battlefield?
Is it because I have no money or food and want to plunder.

Every time there is an extra team, it is not enough to simply feed them. Their equipment needs to be updated regularly.

According to Lu Bu's expectations, they should disband on the spot, and then Zheng Bao and Zhang Duo will bring some cronies over. That's no problem. There will be 5000 people here, and it's hard to make people not panic.

Lu Bu is now so poor that he can't even afford the money to repair the embankment, so where can he get so much money to settle these bandits.

Therefore, when the two armies are at war, the victor will from time to time kill and surrender soldiers. In addition to worrying about these people's rebellion, it will take a lot of money to settle them down, which is far less straightforward than wielding a knife.

If I knew I would have let Zang Ba go, Lu Bu murmured to himself.

"Very good, very good. The autumn harvest will be in a few months. This year's harvest in Xuzhou will not be less than a million stones." Looking at Lu Bu with a melancholy expression, Lin Mo reminded at the right time.

Forgot, Quyuanli's investment has increased the land reclamation area, and the harvest must be doubled.

The gloom between Lu Bu's brows dissipated in an instant, seeing how Yunwen got so close today.

"Marquis Wen, Zheng Bao and Zhang asked them to lead their troops to arrive in three days. Once they surrender, the bandits around will not be a problem. However, there are still Chen Lan and Lei Bo in Tianzhu Mountain. I make a wish."

"You don't have to work hard, Ziyang."

Before Liu Ye finished speaking, Lu Bu waved his hands again and again. If you go again, I will run away. "Then what, Chu Nan has already ordered troops, and is ready to level Tianzhu Mountain."

Wei Yue has been very murderous recently, no matter whether he is beating Shouchun or Liu Xun, he has no chance to make a move, so he has held back all his energy, and he just went to Chen Lanlei to vent his anger.

It is beneficial to wipe out a cottage, even if you surrender, I will tell you to do what you want, and you can also rob you of the money and food you have accumulated over the years.

Zheng Bao and Zhang Duo must have a lot of money in their hands, but they have surrendered, so you can't steal it.

Liu Ye wanted to persuade him again, but was perfunctorily dismissed by Lu Bu as having a more important task to deliver.

It can't be regarded as perfunctory, after all, Liu Ye really needs to come forward to deal with these noble families headed by the Qiao family.

"As the counselor of Yangzhou, I have a duty to do this." Liu Ye readily agreed. He is very familiar with him here in Lujiang, so he has the confidence.

After Liu Ye left, Lu Bu rubbed his brows and said weakly: "Xuan Gao, Zheng Bao and Zhang Duo's people will be handed over to you and Zhongtai, and those who need to be eliminated are welcome.

In addition, let them abide by the rules in the army. "

"Here!" Zang Ba cupped his fists and bowed.

Both Zang Ba and Sun Guan were born bandits in Mount Tai, and they know the nature of bandits best, so it would be appropriate for them to teach them.

At the end, Lin Mocai added: "General Zang went to find Zijing. He has the blueprint of the damaged river embankment in his hand. When the time comes, he will bring these bandits to repair the nearby ones first."

"How did I forget that?"

Lu Bu chuckled, clapped his hands and said, "That's it."

Free labor, no need for nothing.

Whoever can't bear this hardship can walk away, if he wants to become a bandit again, the next time they meet will be swordsmen.

"Report!"

A scout ran in with a bamboo slip in his hand, and knelt down on one knee, "Report to Marquis Wen, Nanyang hurry up and report."

Lu Bu stood up and took the bamboo slip. The content on it made Lu Bu frown at first, and then laughed happily.

News of the Battle of Wancheng!
Lin Mo knew that this must be the matter, so he hurried over.

However, the above content made Lin Mo's expression solemn.

How could this be? Dian Wei is not dead, and Cao Ang is not dead either.
This is troublesome, Dian Wei is a tough general, such a person on the battlefield is definitely a general of the Dazhu level.

One Lu, two Zhao, three Dianwei, four passes, five horses and six Zhang Fei. This is one of the 24 generals of the Three Kingdoms judged by later generations. It is not known whether it is true or not. What is certain is that Dianwei is indeed very strong.

Lin Mo felt a little uneasy.

Except that Dian Wei is a super-class fighter, the wheel of history has changed, which seems to tell Lin Mo that your prophetic skills will be completely useless.

Lin Mo heaved a long sigh, while Lu Bu, who was in stark contrast, was still laughing.

"When Zhang Xiu was under Dong Thief's command, he looked down on me just like his uncle Zhang Ji. He was on the same side as Hu Zhen, Li Jue, and other Xiliang people. The Bingzhou brothers under his command were often excluded by them.

Oh, I can't think of it, but now I have fallen into this field."

This is a kind of elation and elation, his face seems to say 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the heroism of the young and poor.

He didn't even hide his villainous face at all, tsk-tsk said: "Yes, yes, he was hunted down Baili!"

Mr. Yuezhang is quite vengeful.
Lin Mo scratched his head, it should have happened six or seven years ago, and he still hasn't let it go.

But this reminded Lin Mo, "Master Yuezhang and Zhang Xiu know each other, why don't you try to take it for your own use when he is at the end of his life?"
