Chapter 181: Confusing
After Lu Bu interrogated Lou Wu personally, he couldn't ask why he came out for a long time.
The three of them were abolished and sent to Du Qi's Law Enforcement Division, a name that Lu Bu also thought of temporarily.
However, after all kinds of torture and interrogation, these three people still failed to reveal half of the valuable information.
After Lou Wu and others were abolished martial arts, the whole person was extremely weak, and he was not as good as ordinary people.
After being tortured by the Law Enforcement Division, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and one person collapsed into a madman, while Lou Wu and another guard died in prison.
Lu Bu didn't say anything about this.
By this time, the rebellion caused by Lou Wu had finally been extinguished.
Although on the surface, the state corps did not suffer much damage.
There were less than 20,000 people who really had the heart of rebellion, and most of them were arrested and used as hard labor to rebuild Chang'an City.
Nearly three thousand people were executed.
Among them, there are more than 2,000 Yellow Turbans who participated in the rebellion.
All the officials who participated in the rebellion within the Bingzhou Legion were beheaded by the three clans of Zhulian and displayed to the public.
In troubled times, it should be used as a heavy code.
Although Lu Bu loves the people like a son and is kind to ordinary people, it does not mean that he will tolerate the existence of people who challenge the bottom line.
Just like the 'Seven Killings' Decree made on the grassland, LΓΌ Bu attaches great importance to laws and rules.
There are no rules, there is no circle, this is one of Lu Bu's principles.
This iron-blooded purge also made the internal corps of the state more unified and pure.
Through this rebellion, Jia Xu's secret group and Du Ji's law enforcement department cooperated with each other to deal with a large number of small works and spies lurking in the state.
This is also an important part of this 'undercurrent' plan agreed upon by Lu Bu, Jia Xu and others.
At this time, in the eyes of the world, Jia Xu is still a person who has been 'dead' for a long time, and his existence is still unknown to outsiders except for the person Lu Bu trusts the most.
As Jia Xu said, he should have lived in the shadows.
The biggest contributor to this rebellion was Zhang Yan.
When the Montenegrin Army was put into service, Lu Bu made a plan to let Zhang Yan go to lurk, although he did not say it explicitly, but by giving Zhang Yan a word, he made it clear from the side.
On the one hand, this is a part of the 'undercurrent' plan, and on the other hand, it is also an important test for Zhang Yan.
As Lu Bu said, he can't fully trust Zhang Yan yet.
If Zhang Yan can't reach or really collude with Lou Wu, Lu Bu is not afraid, he has other back-ups.
But after this test, Zhang Yan proved himself with facts.
Whether it is resourcefulness, loyalty, or even martial bravery, it surpasses the records in the history books, and can be called the talent of a general.
Only then did Lu Bu completely relax his mind about Zhang Yan.
Among the people who suffered the most this time, it was Zhang Ning who was hurt the most.
After experiencing the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the death of his father, and the betrayal and framing of his uncle, Zhang Ning's soul was already full of holes.
Over the years, Lu Bu has taken meticulous care and concern for him, as well as the birth and growth of his daughter.
Finally slowly melted this extremely insecure woman.
Lou Wu's appearance made her happy and satisfied, and she could understand Lu Bu's suspicions, but she also always believed in Lou Wu.
gave Lou Wu opportunities again and again, and warned again and again, but it still couldn't reverse the staging of this tragedy, and finally made Zhang Ning's fragile heart suffer a painful blow again.
From this aspect alone, it is impossible for Lu Bu to forgive Lou Wu no matter what.
Because these women around Lu Bu will always be the reverse scales on his body, the reverse scales of the dragon, and they will die when they touch it.
So it is not surprising that Lou Wu came to such an end.
Now, Lu Bu not only lost the land of the four counties of Sizhou, but also his relationship with Yuan Shao has also taken a sharp turn for the worse.
Although Yuan Shao was attacked on both sides at this time, he was also threatened by Gongsun Zan of Youzhou.
But Lu Bu understood that Yuan Shao could do it in a short period of time to destroy Gongsun Zhan.
At the same time, after occupying the land of Guanzhong, he will finally face Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Yan in Yizhou, two orthodox royal relatives.
Although in the romance, these two are slightly stronger than the dragon role.
But Lu Bu, who is familiar with history, knows that these two people can occupy a place in the turbulent times, but it is entirely by their own ability.
No matter which one it is, it can be called a prince of one party.
Although Guanzhong is rich, it urgently needs time to recover after these years of war.
Lu Bu now holds the land of Merging Prefecture, Liangzhou, and Guanzhong, but in addition to Guanzhong, the other two states are bitter cold lands.
For the time being, Lu Bu was able to maintain himself for a period of time with the materials he had prepared earlier, but the more time dragged on, the more dangerous he became.
And Lou Wu's rebellion also brought two troubles.
One of them is some of the inventions in the craftsman's workshop that Lou Wu stole from Ding Yao, although it is only a part of the secrets of the craftsman's workshop.
But once it is announced, it is enough to quickly raise the strength of other princes in the world by a notch.
But that's not the most important thing at the moment.
Another trouble is that the three brothers Liu Guanzhang are leading troops to join the state at this time.
Most of the troops of the Annexation Legion are now in the field, either to stabilize the newly occupied areas or to garrison important passes to prevent others from taking advantage of the situation.
There are only more than 20,000 soldiers in the vicinity of Jinyang, but most of these are the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and after this rebellion, their morale is low to the bottom, and they can't go to the battlefield at all.
The only thing that can really come in handy is the Greedy Wolf Iron Rider who is about to arrive.
When I returned to the house late at night, I didn't have time to comfort Zhang Ning, who was in grief, so I went back to the study and fell asleep.
rushed back to Bingzhou from Chang'an, just rested for the night, and then dealt with the matter of the Lou Wu rebellion, and tried his best to fight a battle, which already made him a little unable to support it.
After that, he waited for Du Ji to interrogate Lou Wu and the others, and then returned to the study for a short rest.
Ding Yao had already been rescued at this time, and due to Zhang Yan's proper handling and Lou Wu's unbearability, Ding Yao was not harmed at all.
At this time, when he learned that Lu Bu was back, Ding Yao rushed over as soon as possible.
When Ding Yao entered Lu Bu's study, she happened to let the three girls who came to hear the news see her.
Diao Chan secretly pulled Zhang Ning and Cai Wenji's sleeves, gave the two women a look, and the three of them secretly withdrew.
Give the two of them a time to be alone, which is also what the three daughters are happy to see.
In this era, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and even Diao Chan, who also crossed over, accepted this fact.
But acceptance is one thing, and it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no trace of mustard in the heart.
After all, love is inherently selfish, and this is true for both men and women.
However, for Ding Yao, they also have sincere pity, this little girl's infatuation with Lu Bu is clear to everyone, and after persisting for so long, it is really not easy for the two of them to come together now.
All three women are empathetic and will naturally leave time for these two people.
Speechless all night, everyone only knew that Lu Bu, who had always been accustomed to getting up early, did not step out of the room until three o'clock in the morning on this day.
Facing the scorching sun, Lu Bu stretched his waist comfortably.
Although my body was still aching, my spirit felt extremely comfortable.
Lu Bu looked back at the lovely woman who was tired on the couch at the moment, and a sense of happiness arose in his heart.
As if the discomfort all over his body disappeared at this moment, Lu Bu gently closed the door.
Waving, a nimble little maid trotted closer.
Lu Bu lowered his voice, as if disturbing the house, and said softly: "You are so born here to watch, if Ding Yao gets up, you will wait carefully." β
"Yes, young master. Hee-hee. β
Lu Bu treats his subordinates very generously on weekdays, and this little maid is even more fond of frolicking at a young age, and her eyebrows and eyes are smiling into two crescents.
"The young master can't call the one inside called Ding Yao, from today onwards, she will be the fourth grandmother of our Lu Mansion."
was teased by a little maid, even if his face was as thick as Lu Bu, he couldn't help but be a little surprised at this time.
pretended to be angry and said: "You little girl, you are sharp-toothed, be careful that the young grandmother punishes you." β
The little maid shrunk her neck, giggled and ran to the door.
Lu Bu washed up and came to the conference hall.
After a few bites of breakfast, I found Zhang Yan over.
"Xianzhong, do you have any definite news from the people from Youzhou?" Lu Bu asked lightly, his hands still kneading the joints on his body.
Last night's battle was very enjoyable, but it was definitely not easy, especially Lou Wu, who used secret techniques twice to improve his strength, and the loss and pressure brought to Lu Bu was not a star.
If it weren't for Lu Bu who had stabilized his realm in the previous battle, I am afraid that the result would have been completely reversed.
Zhang Yan hurriedly replied respectfully: "Back to my lord, Youzhou has sent a lot of troops this time, it should be around 50,000, and it has already crossed Zhongshan Country and Changshan County yesterday, and it should have reached Xinxing County at this time." β
"Hehe, these guys are pretty fast." Lu Bu smiled, and a ray of light flashed in his eyes.
Zhang Yan then spoke: "The defenders everywhere followed the strategy designated by the lord at the beginning, and did not have any conflict with them, and all adopted the strategy of laissez-faire and surrender, which made them so rampant and fast. β
Lu Bu nodded and did not speak.
Zhang Yan secretly glanced at Lu Bu, and saw that the expression on Lu Bu's face was not sad or happy, so he had the courage to ask: "Lord, why did our army adopt such a strategy, if we ordered the counties to resist on their own, at least we could delay them for a long time again." β
Lu Bu smiled faintly, turned his head to look at Zhang Yan, and deliberately wanted to test him, so he asked.
"Xianzhong, tell me what you think, why did I do this?" Baidu: Read the latest chapter of "The Literature of Lu Bujie of the Three Kingdoms" for free for the first time.
