Is the world in chaos?

It is the end of the first year of Jian'an, Nanyang, Wancheng, Lu Bu has occupied here for more than a year, Liu Bei is fighting with Yuan Shu in the outside world, Chen Mo began a large-scale expedition against the Qiang people in the second half of the year, Yuan Shao in the north is also entangled with Gongsun Zan and the Black Mountain thieves, after Cao Cao occupied Runan, he began to fight with Yuan Shu, Lu Bu was naturally not idle, he seized the territory that should have been Liu Biao, Liu Biao was naturally unwilling, in the first half of the year, Lu Bu and Liu Biao's generals went through again, but in the second half of the year, with the news that Cao Cao occupied Runan, Liu Biao chose to reconcile with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu and his men and horses fought too fiercely, Liu Pan, Huang Zu, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Wen Ping, Jingzhou generals were almost abused by Lu Bu, Lu Bu is not stupid, after trying a water battle, he will never be near the water's edge, you want to fight, come and fight, if you don't fight, I won't go over.

Liu Biao's power is naturally stronger than Lu Bu, whether it is soldiers or money and food, it is far from being comparable to Nanyang at the moment.

Speaking of which, Nanyang is also the land of Longxing, but since the beginning of the Zhongping period, here as one of the core towns of the Yellow Turban Army, the various armies will fight here, and later after the pacification of the Yellow Turban, Huangfu Song is still in Wancheng to kill, after the fall of the Yellow Turban, Nanyang has recovered some vitality, but followed by Dong Zhuo's chaotic dynasty, when Sun Jian passed by Nanyang, he cut down the Nanyang Taishou at that time, and then Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang, and recruited soldiers and horses to crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Later, Yuan Shu fought with Cao Cao, but was beaten away by Cao Cao, Liu Biao and Cao Cao temporarily reached an alliance, preparing to take Nanyang as the capital, welcome the Son of Heaven to Nanyang, and Liu Biao and Cao Cao jointly assisted the Son of Heaven.

If that's the case, it's not a good thing, who knows that Cao Cao changed hands and ran away with the Son of Heaven, the two families naturally turned their faces, Nanyang after several wars, the people of Nanyang fled to Guanzhong or Jingzhou, today's Nanyang, compared to the beginning, the population is probably not even half enough, now Lu Bu occupies Nanyang, Liu Biao originally wanted to take it back, but Lu Bu can't govern it, but the war is good, the cavalry runs around in Xinye, sometimes the Jingzhou army just crossed the river, and was driven away by the rushing cavalry.

After fighting like this for more than half a year, Liu Biao was a little tired, and the most important thing was that Cao Cao occupied Yingchuan and Runan, and could attack Nanyang at any time.

The two sides do not invade each other, Lu Bu blocks Cao Cao, if necessary, Liu Biao can help Lu Bu provide some support on grain and grass, anyway, Jingzhou is not short of food.

There is no war, Lu Bu is uncomfortable, before the war can still grab some grain and grass from Jiangxia to support himself, but now there is no war, and governing Nanyang is the only thing Lu Bu can do at present.

He has been the master of the history of assassination, it is naturally impossible to say that he has no governance experience at all, but the level is limited, and there are many generals around him, and no one in the Nanyang clan is willing to go out, which also leads to Lu Bu There is no talent around him who can help him give advice or help him govern the place, and sometimes, Lu Bu will write to ask Chen Mo.

When he was in Chang'an, he often discussed with Chen Mo, but after all, it was too far away, and he didn't know the price of firewood and rice, and now when he really came to govern one side by himself, how to encourage farming, restore people's livelihood, how to benefit the people or how to collect taxes, and how to assess the standard of taxation.

In the end, Lu Bu threw these things to Zhang Liao and ran out to breathe by himself, this lord didn't seem to be very easy to do.

Then, Lu Bu was soon invited back to the government office by Zhang Liao to discuss the world's major affairs.

There are wars going on everywhere, which gives Lu Bu the feeling that only this world seems to be very chaotic, and it is even more chaotic than before.

By my side, there is a lack of a strategist who can help me deal with these trivial things, and when I have doubts, I can give my opinion...... Just like Chen Mo's.

The Nanyang Shi clan didn't look down on Lu Bu, but Lu Bu didn't look down on these people either.

"My lord, at the moment, with only the population of Nanyang, I am afraid that I will not be able to support the army." Zhang Liao asked people to put a few rolls of bamboo slips on Lu Bu's table, in order to fight with Liu Biao, Lu Bu trained a lot of recruits, and now with the Bingzhou army they brought out from Guanzhong, Nanyang has nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses.

"Since there is no more fighting, how about disbanding the new army?" Lu Bu looked at the bamboo slips, he had a headache, and opened a roll casually.

"No, although we are making peace with Liu Biao now, our army has Cao Cao in the east, and Chen Mo in the west may also attack from Wuguan at any time, if the new army is disbanded, and the two sides are coming, our army may be difficult to resist." Zhang Liao said solemnly.

"Chen Mo will also attack?" Lu Bu frowned and said, his relationship with Chen Mo should be considered good.

"Lord, now the lord is also a prince, between these princes, public and private need to be separated, then the relationship between Cao Cao and Chen Mo is also good, in the past in Luoyang, the two of them had a good relationship, but the former Cao Cao is not the same as taking advantage of Chen Mo's hands to take away the Son of Heaven?" Zhang Liao sighed, Lu Bu's biggest shortcoming is that he is ruthless to the enemy, but he is defenseless against his friends.

Lu Bu nodded, still feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart: "But where does the food come from?" Ask Liu Biao for some? ”

Liu Biao promised to support him in terms of grain and grass.

"Liu Biao's side, naturally I want to ask him." Zhang Liao nodded and said: "But if this is the case, my army may be subject to Liu Biao, once Liu Biao cuts off the supply to our army in the future, I am afraid that there will be a danger of destruction immediately, although they are allies, but they must not be guarded against!" ”

In these years, the most unreliable thing is the allies, the princes of the Dong Alliance can be regarded as allies, but look at the past few years, the most ruthless killing of each other is these allies, if it was so powerful when he was fighting Dong, it is estimated that Dong Zhuo would not have been able to move the capital back then.

"What does Wen Yuan think?" Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao: "......"

I want to know that I said it earlier.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and after Zhang Liao suddenly said a little decadently: "Lord, the last general thinks that the most important thing for us at the moment is to find a wise man to assist the lord, give advice to the lord, and govern the place is much stronger than you and me." ”

Lu Bu nodded, looked at Zhang Liao and said, "I heard that in this Jingxiang land, there are outstanding people, Wen Yuan can know, is there anyone who can compare to Chen Mo?" ”

Zhang Liao unconsciously licked his somewhat dry lips, his own boss really dared to say, who is Chen Mo? Before the weak crown has become famous all over the world, he can kill the enemy on the horse, he can govern the country under the horse, and the state and Guanzhong are quite prosperous under his governance, and he has become the northern overlord who can compete with Yuan Shao by virtue of his own strength, Chen Mo's foundation, but it is really his own ability to beat down, such a talent, not to mention unprecedented, but in today's world, how many people can be on a par with it, even if there is, will they vote for Lu Bu?

"The lord has a good eye." In the end, Zhang Liao could only pick up a good compliment, this vision is indeed high enough, coughed lightly, Zhang Liao said: "But it seems that the Marquis of Changling is such a masterpiece, but it is impossible to find it, and the last general feels that the top priority of the lord is to find a few pragmatic people who can help the lord deal with county affairs, analyze the current situation, and give advice to the lord. ”

"Hard to find?" Lu Bu groped his chin, feeling that Chen Mo was very easy to get along with and a little smart, but it wasn't so bad that he couldn't find something similar, right?

It's not too hard, it's not too hard to find!

Zhang Liao was a little speechless, he knew that this was the case, he should have arrested a few ministers in Luoyang in the first place, and it was better than not even having a usable person now.

"Tomorrow, let people find out if there are any masters in Nanyang." Lu Bu rubbed his temples, and finally sighed, "I must let him help me." ”

Even if you tie it, you have to tie it up!

Lu Bu had already made up his mind in his heart, the days without the advisors were too uncomfortable, and Hou Cheng and they couldn't even settle the account.

"Lord, in fact, this famous person is hard to find, but in this land of Nanyang, there are also many scholars from the cold family, and there are them in Wancheng. Zhang Liao thought for a while.

If a master can be invited so easily, he is not called a master, and even if he is invited, people may not be willing to help, it is better to invite with an official position, but it is possible to invite some people, even if they are not powerful people, but they are better than Hou Cheng and Wei Xu, who have to pay taxes for more than ten days, right?

"It's okay, find some people to help with the county affairs first, and then find out the whereabouts of the master." Lu Bu nodded, first to solve the urgent need, as for talents, you can find them slowly.

"I'll do it at the end." Zhang Liao got up and said.

"There is one more thing, let Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Cheng Lian and they go to conquer the thieves in this Nanyang area if they have nothing to do, remember, there is no need to disturb the people!" Lu Bu got up and said.

Eliminating thieves is also a way to improve the people's morale, Lu Bu now finally has a foothold, and naturally wants to govern well, suppressing bandits is a method that Lu Bu can now think of that is not helpful to the people and can also enrich the treasury.

As for how to ask for ...... Lu Bu and these people have been in Bingzhou for many years, and they have their own set of methods for how to find bandits and grass robbers, which is not difficult for them, and they don't need too many troops, they can completely nourish the war with war, and by the way, hone the recruits.

That's a good idea.

Zhang Liao nodded, and immediately got up to say goodbye.

After Lu Bu patiently dealt with official business for a while, he also got up and left the government office, he didn't think it before, but since he became the lord of Nanyang, Lu Bu has been very repulsive to the government office, this place is too torturous!

The moment he came out of the government office, Lu Bu had a feeling that the whole person was about to float, and in an instant, he was refreshed, walked with the wind, and everything he saw became much more pleasing to the eye.

You must search for Coats, even if it is not as good as Chen Mo, it can't be too bad!
