Lu Bu’s Life Simulator
Vol 2 Chapter 171: mutual calculation
The battle in Nanyang did not reach Nieyang, and Yuan Shu had already died down.
It's not that he doesn't want to fight. In fact, Yuan Shu now wants to peel Lu Bu's skin for cramps and stew his bones in soup, but he has been defeated in a row, and the five-way army has been crippled by three. Take it out and go all out to fight Nieyang.
Lü Bu's cavalry was probably the only one in the world that Gongsun Zan could fight against. Yuan Shu, who had regained his composure, knew very well that the current situation was actually not good for him.
Yuan Shu didn't have enough cavalry to compete with, so it would be a huge loss to fight against Lu Bu on a battlefield like Nanyang. In fact, it was not difficult for Yuan Shu to get a warhorse. He was allies with Gongsun Zan. Now Gongsun Zan occupies Qingzhou and can pass through Xuzhou. Send the warhorse to Yuan Shu's territory.
Therefore, Yuan Shu did not lack horses, but he lacked cavalry, and even more lacked cavalry commanders.
Whether you can ride a horse or be a cavalry, you can’t be a cavalry commander if you can mount a horse and fight. This is really a big difference between the north and the south. Just like people living in the south are surrounded by rivers and rivers everywhere, and they can easily learn to swim bravely and ferry boats. In the same way, northerners have much more opportunities to get in touch with horse warfare than southerners.
Take Lu Bu as an example, not to mention his experience after he got the life simulator, but only to say that before, he lived in a place like Jiuyuan, where he lived in a mixed environment and was often plundered by the Xianbei or the Huns, so he was brave since he was a child, not born. , but forced by the environment.
Southerners who can’t swim bravely, can’t take a ferry, can’t go far, and living in Jiuyuan, if they can’t get on a horse and kill people, it may even be a problem to survive. People are fighting for their lives, so places like Bingzhou are easy to produce elite soldiers and cavalry generals. It is not how talented the people here are, but they are selected by the line of life and death.
This is very difficult to appear in the relatively comfortable South. Even if there are rioters or something, most of these bandits and grass bandits will have some bottom line and some rules, and they will not be as savage as the barbarians.
Of course, there are also places in the south where there are serious diseases. The Baiyue and Zong thieves in Jiangdong are in chaos. Those who are close to these places are usually sturdy, because the people of Baiyue are also not very disciplined, and they are quite vicious in their actions. The elite Danyang soldiers that shook the world were the existences in the south that could compete with the elite soldiers in the north like You and Liang.
However, when it comes to cavalry, it is easier to train in the north, especially in quiet and cool places. There are many people who can fight on horseback. Yuan Shu wants to train cavalry in the existing territory. in the case of a general.
After returning to Nieyang, Lü Bu did not expand his victories and occupied the city. Instead, he continued to send troops to Wancheng to seek provocations and battle documents, seeking a decisive battle with Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu still had an advantage in military strength, but it was not as crushed as it was at the beginning. The 150,000-strong army now has only about 80,000, and the defenders in Nanyang are only 130,000.
From the perspective of God, Yuan Shu is still in a position of crushing Lu Bu's forces, but in fact, 50,000 of them are Nanyang soldiers scattered in various key passes. What Yuan Shu can actually mobilize is his 80,000 Jianghuai with low morale. military.
And although Lü Bu had few troops, he was all guarded in Nieyang, and he had assembled a heavy army in one place. If Yuan Shu wanted to fight Lü Bu at this time, he could only fight decisively!
Before, he was full of confidence, but now, Yuan Shu was afraid of losing, so Yuan Shu chose to hibernate and avoid Lu Bu's edge for the time being.
Having said that, Lu Bu sent people over every day to say some foul language, which made Yuan Shu very angry.
"My lord, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!" Yan Xiang knelt down beside Yuan Shu and saw Yuan Shu's expression was not very good, so he persuaded: "Now that Lu Bu is very powerful, you can't fight with him. Ziyi has gone to Guanzhong to lobby and stay behind Lu Bu. When there is chaos, you will be in chaos, and by then, it will be time for our army to attack Lu Bu!"
"Humph!" Yuan Shu sighed, "Although Lu Bu came from a lowly background, he does have some skills. It's a pity..."
If you can capture and surrender Lu Bu, why worry about the uncertainty of the world? But Yuan Shu also knew that this was unlikely. First, after the battle between the two sides, the hatred would be deep. Second, Yuan Shu also worried that he would not be able to control such a peerless general like Lu Bu.
You must know that when Sun Jian was under his command, Yuan Shu often felt that Sun Jian was not on the same page as him. Now that it was Lu Bulai, Yuan Shu felt that this kind of general was more difficult to control, so it would be better to take the opportunity to remove him.
Yan Xiang smiled and said, "My lord, don't worry about it, I think that Lv Bu was not a person who lived under the people for a long time. In the past, Ding Yuan was killed by him. Later, although Dong Zhuo took him down, Dong Zhuo was also killed soon, although not by Lv Bu. Harm, but as a minister, if this person hits the master, it’s better to get rid of it early!”
Yuan Shu nodded, and the feeling of cherishing talent in his heart quickly dissipated.
On the other hand, although Lü Bu did not conquer the city, the household registration of nearby counties such as Yuyang, Anzhong, Rang County, Champion, Shunyang, and Nanxiang had already fallen into the hands of Lü Bu.
"My lord, Han Hao has already set aside 370,000 mu of thin fields in Shangxian County, Shangluo to Duling. Calculated as a household of 15 mu, it should be able to accommodate more than 25,000 households." The sealed bamboo slip was handed to Lu Bu and bowed.
Shangxian County and Shangluo are all located in the valleys among the Qinling Mountains. The area of arable land is not large, and the amount of people that can be accommodated is limited. These thin fields are mainly concentrated in the south of Duling, which is close to Qinling, and the fields are more than Duling. The fertile soil of Guanzhong in the north is worse.
"370,000 mu?" Lv Bu frowned and looked at the bamboo slips and said, "Let's not talk about the barren places like Shangluo and Shangxian, there are nearly 800,000 mu of fields in the Duling area alone, but only 370,000 mu. Can you put the people in?"
After Lv Bu took office in Guanzhong Field, Lv Bu dispatched a dozen teams to measure the cultivated land in various places. Lv Bu estimated that he knew better than the officials in charge of household registration.
Because Duling is close to the Qinling Mountains and the terrain is not good, the arable land here has not been allocated. In addition to the arable land in Shangluo and Shangxian, at least there must be more than 800,000 mu.
"Back to the lord, although there are many fields, the population of Nanyang should not live in one place, so he plans to arrange a large number of free fields between Duling, Huxian and Kunming Chi and Huaili to migrate the population, so that it can also enrich Jingzhao. Population." Zhao Ang bowed.
"That's it, there are fewer 25,000 households, and there are more than this number of people in Yuyang and Nieyang counties alone!" Lü Bu put down the bamboo slips and frowned.
Nanyang is a large county, and there are nearly 530,000 households in Zaice alone. In order to move these people there, Lu Bu exchanged three mu of land for two mu in exchange for the land of the people with fields, and at the same time promised to give the people without fields. Farming with low rent and tax has attracted a large number of people to migrate to Guanzhong.
Now it is only a part of it, and if something goes wrong, it will not work, and the relocation must be completed before the spring ploughing. Judging from the current migration rate of only 10,000 households a month, it must be relocated to a place that threatens the Nanyang gentry, How long does it take to become a thief?
Obviously, this progress could not satisfy Lu Bu.
"My lord, then Han Hao claims that he has no power in his hands, and he can't do anything in many places!" Zhao Ang bowed.
"Then let him find a way. I only need the result. Otherwise, what's the use of him?" Lu Bu snorted coldly. He naturally knew what Han Hao was thinking. He wanted to move those generals, which was naturally impossible. Yes, in Guanzhong, the land of the aristocratic family can move, but the generals can't, at least temporarily.
Zhao Ang bowed and saluted, turned and went to give orders.
"This Han Hao, soon after taking office, he wanted to test me!" After watching Zhao Ang leave, Lu Bu just snorted dissatisfiedly.
"It's not all bad. My lord, there is no need to rush people to Nanyang for a while. Even if this year is slower, you can continue to migrate when you get the land of Nanyang next year."
"What will happen to these people without the persecution of the people at the bottom?" Lu Bu nodded and suddenly said with some humor.
If the people at the bottom of Nanyang were emptied by Lu Bu, what would happen to these gentry and wealthy clansmen who were usually high above them without the targets of exploitation and bullying? If the tenant farmers are gone, will they work in the fields themselves?
After there is no cultivated land that can be appropriated and annexed, can they only compete with each other? And then what? A giant appears? Or is the family extinct?
Before it happened, Lu Bu could only rely on conjectures to think about what this scene would be like?
"It's hard to say!" Li Ru thought about it~www.readwn.com~ and couldn't come up with that scene, so he could only shake his head: "In Confucianism, the lord is now worried that the Guanzhong gentry will take advantage of the lord's expedition to Nanyang. For the rear of the disaster?"
"Definitely." Lu Bu nodded affirmatively. When he left Chang'an, he had already guessed that the Guanzhong gentry would definitely rebel, because Lu Bu's various policies were to benefit the people, but at the same time benefiting the people, it also killed them. For the interests of the Guanzhong gentry, Lu Bu is a cancer, and these people will definitely do it if they have the chance.
Lv Bu wanted to go to Nanyang, and he had the idea of giving them a chance, because for Lu Bu, these Guanzhong nobles were also cancers, and they were the cancers that occupied the main economy of Guanzhong. Even if Lu Bu got some, it was not enough. The Guanzhong nobles should kill some more, until they start to admit their counsel, and start to take the initiative to turn over the land deeds, and then they can stop by following Lu Bu's actions.
Li Ru nodded silently. Lu Bu always had a keen intuition about these things that was different from ordinary people. Of course, Lu Bu's method of judging the laws of things was different from most people from the very beginning.
"Then what does the lord think I'm going to do next?" Li Ru looked at Lu Bu and asked.
"Wait!" Lu Bu stretched his waist, and the bones all over his body suddenly made a burst of noise like fried beans.
"Wait?" Li Ru looked at Lu Bu curiously.
"That's right, everything is ready now, and the weather and geography are already on the side of the imperial court, so it's not difficult to defeat Yuan Shu, but I need to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity to injure Yuan Shu. Let the princes not dare to be presumptuous!" Lu Bu got up and said seriously!
