Wushuang Wudi of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 76 Conspiracy
Next, the Ma Teng and Han Sui allied forces first retreated to Hanpiao County, then to Linjing in Anding County, and then to the west of Anding County. After that, they went all the way west and returned to their hometown.Like two wild beasts, they return to their lair and lick their wounds, waiting for the future.

"If you have won a battle and won a victory, you must use this victory, otherwise, victory is meaningless." This is a sentence that Lu Bu often talks about.

If you don’t take advantage of it, you regret it, but you can’t blame others!
"Xu Rong, lead your troops to the north of Xinping County and occupy Xizhou County, which belongs to Anding County; Hu Zhen, lead your troops to the southwest of Xinping County, and occupy Yinmi County, which belongs to Anding County; Zhang Liao, you and Li Su , lead the troops to occupy Linjing County, the prefecture of Anding County! In this way, our army will control half of Anding County!" Lu Bu ordered.

"No!" Everyone answered.

"In this way, we have seven new counties under our control, Beidi, Fuyi, Xinping, Hanpiao, Xizhou, Yinmi, and Linjing, which is comparable to half a county, with a population of about 15 and a large amount of land!" Lu Bu looked cheerful, the population and taxes have increased, and the territory has grown!There are more soldiers!
"Occupy all over the place, don't be in a hurry, it's early winter, it's cold but not cold, the common people are free, you and the common people will carry out the work of building roads!" Lu Bu said again.

"Ah! Road repairs again?" When everyone heard this, their faces changed slightly, and they were a little bitter.This Marquis Wen is really, why does he like building roads so much!A few months ago, in Guanzhong, everyone was sent out to repair the road, and now they are here to repair the road again!It's not that they resist and are dissatisfied, they just feel that even if the soldiers are free, they don't need to use them to fight, and there is no need to build roads!
"Don't be sour. Sending soldiers out will cost money and food! Building roads is the best of both worlds! Improving transportation and strengthening connections; working together can also enhance good relations with local people and spread the prestige of our army!" Lu Bu reminded road.

"No!" Everyone had to accept the order.

"For specific local administrative affairs, the imperial court will send people down! After the road construction is completed, when the weather turns cold, they will gather in Linjing County! With Zhang Liao as the main general, your entire army of 15000 people will stand guard there, play by ear, or occupy The whole county of Anding County, or stop Ma Teng's forces from disturbing!"

Lu Bu felt that he was a bit of a mother-in-law, but think about it, even the emperor had to go to court every morning!He felt fair again, no work, no profit!Cough cough, right?Forget about the emperor in Chang'an City.

"Located in Xiangwu, it controls the Ma Teng forces in Longxi County, Tianshui County, and Anding County. After a disastrous defeat, there are currently about 3 horses left, and there are only more than [-] people who can go out. Located in Jincheng, they control Jincheng County. The same is true for Han Sui in Wuwei County. Unless they unite, General Zhang Liao will have nothing to worry about! We just need to use a little plan to divide them, and they will be on guard against each other, so naturally they will be even more powerless to attack!" At this time, Lv Bu's accompanying military adviser Li Ru spoke.

Lu Bu couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, and felt the sinister smile on Li Ru's face, which suddenly became very amiable.

"What's the trick? Our strength continues to grow, and when the time comes, it will be as easy to deal with them as picking fruits from a tree!" Lu Bu asked.

"We can send people to continuously send a large number of letters to Han Sui, and then 'unknowingly' fall into the hands of Ma Teng's army. Any rewards should be reprimanded; in the end, they started to exchange horses, ironware, and salt with Han Sui, but when they saw Ma Teng's men and horses, they would attack them! This will not only strengthen our army's strength, but also make them suspicious of each other. Worry!"

Li Ru spoke clearly every single word, which made Lu Bu smile, while the faces of all the trusted generals were full of chills.

"This guy is indeed the poisonous snake mentioned by Marquis Wen. He is full of tricks. We kill with knives, but he kills with heart!" The generals murmured, but they couldn't help admiring. In this way, the situation in Anding County will be even better. Well, controlling the entire county is not a problem, and it is also a meritorious service to them!
From this point of view, Li Ru, the military adviser, has become amiable again, although he looks sinister.

"Wenhe?" Lu Bu turned to Jia Xu again, Li Ru has already offered advice, so why don't you express it?

"Yeah!" Jia Xu pondered for a while, and then proposed his plan, "Han Sui and Ma Teng, they have lived in the west of Liangzhou for a long time, and they have a very good relationship with the nearby Qiang people. They have colluded with the Qiang people long ago. We must raise our troops! Our army cannot sit idly by. Thousands of Marquis Wen defeated tens of thousands of Qiang people. This matter must be made a big fuss and spread to the Qiang people in Liangzhou! We must use those Qiang people captives!" He clicked on it and suggested.

"Okay! Great plan!" As soon as Lu Bu heard it, he knew Jia Xu's plan.

"Come here! This and that..." Lu Bu hurriedly ordered, one is to spread fear among the Qiang people, let them know that Lu Bu's army is irresistible, and they must not fight against Lu Bu's army, otherwise, there will be no place to die!The second is to spread the goodwill of Lu Bujun to the upper class of the Qiang people, first buy them with jewelry and jade, confuse them, and let them be honest.

When the time is right, take them down in one fell swoop!Those gold and silver treasures are nothing but dead things, what a pity, just keep them in another place!If you don't have such a broad mind, what are you doing!
Money is of course very important, but once it reaches the entire dynasty, it is really nothing, and it is often empty.

Suppose there are 100 people in a village, and they are isolated, and only a hundred boxes of gold and a bag of grain are given to them. At this time, what is gold?
"Okay! With the help of the two of you, why worry about nothing happening! Both of you are the current Zhang Liang!" Lv Bu praised. Of course, even he himself felt a little...hypocritical.

"Don't dare! Don't dare to be! Marquis Wen is regarded as a hero, and we are all defeated. I dare not speak wisdom before Marquis Wen. It just serves as a supplementary role." Li Ru or Jia Xu, which one is not an old fritter?Naturally, he also became humble and flattered Lu Bu.

Naturally, the master and the servant had a good time, and they had a lot of fun.

"Hey, the relationship between people is really fake!" Lu Bu laughed at himself.

"Okay! Next! Leave [-] soldiers to guard this place! Keep in touch with Guanzhong and Anding County! The rest of the troops, return to Chang'an. It looks like they are about to start a battle with the famous general Zhu Jun's troops!" Lu Bu ordered.He couldn't help but sigh, it's really non-stop!However, after defeating Zhu Jun, there will be a period of stability. After passing through this period of stability, if you accumulate enough strength, you will be able to conquer Liangzhou and annihilate the Qiang people!
In this battle, Lv Bu sent 45000 troops, excluding about 23000 dead, 28000 taken by Zhang Liao, [-] defenders, and [-] left. Guo Fan surrendered [-], which is [-].

Lu Bu rolled eastward with about 28000 troops.
