And the state, in the clouds, since the Han Dynasty ten years ago, Lu Bu moved his general's mansion to the state, these years Chen Mo's restrictions on the four generals of the border pass are relatively loose compared to other places, in how to fight above, there is a lot of autonomy, if you want to put the general's mansion where you want, just report to the imperial court, but the grain and grass provided by the imperial court is limited, if you are stationed here safely, it is naturally enough, if the imperial court has an order to send troops, it will be distributed more, when the imperial court has no order but you want to send troops, The grain and grass can find a way by themselves, you can't ask the state and county, let alone rob the people, the population here is already small, and Chen Mo is very strict about this.

Therefore, you can have any ideas for yourself, but you have to figure out how to consume the military rations for this expedition.

This is also why Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Xu Rong, and Hua Xiong are mostly defensive, even if they are confident, but the grassland is vast, and in the absence of sufficient logistical grain and grass support, it is easy to run out of food, at most they only send some rangers out to grab some cattle and sheep or something, and give benefits to the soldiers.

But if it is put in Bingzhou, it will not work, Lu Bu has an aggressiveness in his bones, he is an unsheathed sword, if it is placed anywhere in the Central Plains, it may hurt others and hurt himself, but if it is placed in the border pass, it is the biggest deterrent to the outside of the Saiwai, and Lu Bu found that after he came back from a walk around the Central Plains, these Xianbei people and Huns seem to have become stupid, and now it is easier to deal with, after all, Lu Bu still has some opponents in the Central Plains, but outside the Sai, not to mention martial arts, it is the aspect of resourcefulness, Accustomed to seeing the intrigue between the princes, if Lu Bu is put in the princes, it will naturally be fun, but if it is put here, the Saiwaihu people are simply like sheep.

You put a group of sheep in front of a wolf, don't expect the wolf not to eat the sheep, in fact, among the four major legions in the border area, it belongs to Lu Bu's side that has the most nourishing life, many Xianbei and Xiongnu tribes have developed a good habit of paying tribute every year, Lu Bu's side will leave thirty percent as expenses, and the rest will be sent to Luoyang.

And the bitter cold of the state? That's already in the past, anyway, since Lu Bu was sent here, in recent years, there has basically been no such thing as the southern invasion of the Hu people in Bingzhou, and the border trade is launched, and the priority is also those tribes who pay tribute, Lu Bu is still principled in this regard, as long as you pay tribute, then protect you, as long as you don't make trouble, you can come here to trade and even live normally, and even if you are bullied by people from other tribes, Lu Bu will also help.

Anyway, according to a principle taught to him by Chen Mo, the obedient don't fight, only the thorn in the head, now many tribes in the grassland have begun to attach, no longer respect Shan Yu, of course, Xianbei Shan was directly detained by Chen Mo in Luoyang two years ago, and now the grassland is fighting for Shan Yu's position, and there is no more than respectable, sometimes Lu Bu guesses that Chen Mo directly deducts Shan Yu who went to sue others, probably hoping for this kind of scene.

"Zhongquan, the prime minister is now crowned king, what kind of congratulatory gift do you think we should give here?" In the clouds, in the General's Mansion, Lu Bu, whose hair was already half-white, had a headache, looked at Chen Zheng and asked.

Chen Zheng has a big head, you ask someone's son what gift to give to someone, is it really good? The world is so big, you are probably the only general who can do this kind of thing, right?

After struggling for a while, Chen Zheng smiled bitterly: "General, this gift is just a heart, I think as long as it is given by the general, my father will be happy." ”

"That's not good, the prime minister has taken a lot of care of me over the years, which of the generals do you think will bring his family with him? And my unlucky son-in-law, I heard that he is about to be sealed. Lu Bu shook his head.

People like Lu Bu feel very awkward, treat him well, he rejects him, gives him high-ranking officials, he may be happy for a while, but then he slowly doesn't feel it, after Lu Bu voted for Chen Mo, Chen Mo didn't give him any promotion, it's a normal change, but Lu Bu can die for Chen Mo, why?

Because Chen Mo understands Lu Bu and has no ambition, but he doesn't like to be restrained, he is not good at communicating, but he is eager to be recognized, this is Lu Bu, it is actually very simple, and there are not many people with this kind of character, but not everyone has Lu Bu's ability, so as long as the official is not overly suppressed, there is no need to pull too high, but respect and freedom, as long as you give these two things, Lu Bu will basically die for you.

was put by Chen Mo at the border, Chen Mo guaranteed that Lu Bu's rear, and at the same time, it was equivalent to pinching Lu Bu's lifeline, but he never had half a point of negligence in this, so that Lu Bu could not take care of the rear and act recklessly, but the direction of wanton behavior could only be the north, because to fight south, Lu Bu could experience what it was like to have no food and no one at once, give him a bottom line, and toss it casually to the outside world, this is Chen Mo's method of controlling Lu Bu.

If you want to change places, such as putting it in the Central Plains, then Lu Bu's sword is likely to hurt yourself, even if it is placed in the place where it is handed over with the princes, for Jiangdong and Jingzhou, because of the terrain restrictions, only considering that no one has much chance of winning, and it may even lose soldiers and horses, as for Shudi...... That's even worse, Lu Bu's combat method can't be eaten in Shu at all, and the most suitable for him is the grassland.

Facts have also proved that Chen Mo's approach is right, now that Lu Bu is satisfied, Chen Mo doesn't worry too much, all the departments of the grassland pay tribute every year, satisfying their admiration for the Han Dynasty, are they all happy~

But now, Lu Bu has a bit of a headache, he is so old, and he has been in the Central Plains for so long, and he is sophisticated, Lu Bu is now gradually getting started, Chen Mo is the king, this is a big deal, as the number one general under Chen Mo...... At least Lu Bu thinks so, the congratulatory gifts he sent not only can't be cold, but also have a heart, and they must be able to overpower others.

Send money and food, Chen Mo is definitely not lacking, even if he is lacking, he will not accept it, but other things ...... Lu Bu is not short of money now, and Chen Mo, the tribute of various tribes every year, allows him to keep thirty percent, whether he can sacrifice the army or keep it himself, but what good things can be on the grassland? Cattle and sheep war horses, animal skins, Langya or something, these things can't be used, unless you can find a good horse like Chitu, but there is no shortage of war horses and good horses on the grassland, and there are not many top BMWs like Chitu.

Chen Zheng was speechless when he heard this, shook his head and said: "General, my father doesn't have any special preferences on weekdays, I think, just relax the more rare things on the grassland." ”

"General! Second son! Hou Cheng on the side replied: "I remember that there is something that may be okay." ”

"What?" Lu Bu said curiously.

"Glass!" Hou Cheng said with a smile.

"Huh?" Lu Bu and Chen Zheng were a little dazed, Lu Bu thought for a long time and didn't understand when he had this kind of thing, and looked at Hou Chengdao: "Where is this thing?" ”

"In the Diga tribe, the general forgot that last year, the Dijia tribe had taken a lot of goods from the Western Regions to pay tribute, but there was a piece of Liulizhan that the Diga patriarch liked very much, and he stayed without paying tribute, if he could get it, he would send it to the prime minister." Hou Cheng said with a smile.

"The Diga tribe?" Lu Bu frowned: "The time for tribute this year has not yet arrived, so go and tell him that I am willing to exchange ten good horses and five hundred cattle and sheep for this thing, and ask him to cut his love." ”

"General, why bother?" Hou Cheng sneered: "Just a word from the general, why worry about the Dijia tribe not handing it over?" ”

Chen Zheng frowned when he heard this, and before he could speak, Lu Bu had already interrupted.

"I set the rules on this prairie!" Lu Bu looked at Hou Chengdao: "As long as you are willing to pay tribute to me, then you will be protected by me and will not be oppressed in any way, you remember it for me, don't hit these thoughts on your own people!" My rules, they can't break them, we can't break them, in this state, whoever moves will die! ”

Lu Bu is ruthless, over the years, the people of the Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes who died in his hands are absolutely 100,000, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a murderous reputation outside the Saiwai.

But perhaps under the influence of Chen Mo, many of Lu Bu's concepts are also moving closer to Chen Mo, since the rules have been set, they have to be kept, Lu Bu has killed people all these years, but he has never violated the rules he has set, which is why so many grassland tribes are willing to pay tribute every year, and now that people are old, they can gradually understand the deeper reasons for Chen Mo's behavior, and the state can now become more and more prosperous, and the border land is constantly traded, the fundamental reason is not how good Lu Bu can fight, but that Lu Bu can keep the rules he set, and this rule, It also gives those tribes who choose to pay tribute space to survive and obtain a certain degree of shelter, which is the fundamental reason why the border troubles of the state have almost not occurred in recent years.

Now that someone wants to break their own rules, Lu Bu naturally can't let this kind of thing happen.

"Huh~" Hou Cheng was startled when he saw Lu Bu angry, and hurriedly got up and pleaded guilty: "It's the last general who is reckless." ”

"This matter ......" Lu Bu nodded, he didn't care, he swept over the generals in the tent, and finally landed on Zhou Cang and said: "Zhou Cang, you go on a trip, first bring five hundred sheep over, it is considered a fixed money, as long as he is willing to exchange, send the glass cup to him, ten good horses and another five hundred cows, and send him immediately." ”

"Whoa!" Zhou Cang agreed when he heard this, got up and saluted.

"You've been with me for decades, and Buser is like family." Lu Bu knocked on the table, retracted the gaze of Hou Cheng and others, Lu Bu looked at everyone: "The rules of this place are set by me, and they are also set by the prime minister, these rules cannot be broken, this is my bottom line, and it is also the bottom line of the court, Hu people should be beaten, but they must be beaten with reason, so that they can know what they can do and what they can't do, this matter is related to the prime minister's hundred-year plan, no one can break it, others have committed it, naturally there is no mercy to talk about, but if you commit it, I will kill you first, and then commit suicide, to thank the world!" ”

"Whoa!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly got up and agreed.
