Chapter 14 The Continuation of the Campaign
On Yuzhou Island, Lu Bu had already received the good news from Zhang Liao and Chen Gong, and knew from the good news that they were now all in Ma Han, and he also killed the king of Ma Han and his family to prevent future troubles!
On this day, the sun was shining and it was a good day, and at the same time, it was also the time for Lu Bu and them to set sail again to the land of Sanhan!
And the 10,000 pirates on Yuzhou Island have also packed up their few belongings early, since they have surrendered to Lu Bu, they naturally want to follow Lu Bu and them and set off for the land of Sanhan!
In the magnificent sea, there are huge sea ships riding the wind and waves, and the people who drive these sea ships are naturally Lu Bu and them.
Since there was no bad weather interfering along the way, Lu Bu and the others came to Mahan very smoothly, and then, after a long period of land travel, Lu Bu and they had already come to the city of Muzhi.
Lu Bu looked up at this former Mahan Imperial City, and couldn't help but pout, because, as an imperial city of a country, Muzhi City was far less tall and prosperous than Xiapi City in Xuzhou.
Still, something is better than nothing!
As a person far away from his homeland, Lu Bu knew that he would have to stay here for a long time in the future!
Beside Lu Bu, followed by Yan Yao, Diao Chan, Cao Que'er, and Lu Lingqi, they looked at this exotic city and couldn't help but be very interested.
"Daddy, will we live here in the future?" Lu Lingqi asked Lu Bu in a hurry.
"Hmmm! Does Lingqi like it here? Lu Bu asked with a smile at his daughter Lu Lingqi.
"As long as I live with my father and mother, Lingqi likes it." Lu Lingqi looked up at the tall Lu Bu, and nodded heavily with her little head.
"Huh!" Lu Bu smiled and touched Lu Lingqi's little head.
Immediately, Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong, Cao Bao, Zhang Liao, and Zang Ba, who were standing respectfully on the side.
"You have done a good job, Benhou has your assistance, why worry about the great cause!" Lu Bu first sighed, and then said solemnly to them: "As for your merits, record them first, and then we will discuss the merits and rewards together when all the land of Sanhan is in possession in the future!" ”
"Where, where, your lord, you have praised it." For Lu Bu's praise, Chen Gong and Zhang Liao hurriedly bent down slightly to Lu Bu and replied respectfully.
Then, under the leadership of Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Cao Bao, and Zang Ba, Lu Bu and the others headed towards the gate of Muzhi City.
Before entering, Lu Bu, who suddenly thought of something, couldn't help but stop suddenly, and then looked at the name of the city on the city gate.
"This city will be renamed 'Xingba' in the future!" Lu Bu looked at Muzhicheng, no, now it should be Xingbacheng who said loudly to his subordinates.
Xingba? What is Xingba? It means that Lu Bu's imperial hegemony is thriving from this!
"Xingba? Xingba City?! "Lu Bu's subordinates can see Lu Bu's ambition from this name, but they didn't expect Lu Bu's ambition to be so big? They were stunned for a moment.
However, they soon came to their senses, and then they all looked excited.
Lu Bu's ambition is great, and they who follow Lu Bu can also go further, whether it is to honor their ancestors or to seal their wives and sons, now they can't help but be excited when they think about it.
They feel that following Lu Bu and doing things for Lu Bu under Lu Bu is the greatest honor in their lives!
……
Samhan represents the three countries of Maham, Jinhan, and Benhan.
Ma Han, who had the strongest national strength, was easily wiped out by Lu Bu's army, and the other two countries were far inferior to Ma Han's strong Chen Han and Ben Han, so Lu Bu naturally did not let them go.
However, after Lu Bu became the master of Mahan, the most important thing to do now is to appease the 200,000 people of Mahan, and then send troops to garrison important places, so as not to cause trouble and try to challenge the authority of Lü Bu, the new ruler of Mahan!
At the same time, Lü Bu selected the best of the surrendered Mahan soldiers and selected 3,000 soldiers to be trained by Gao Shun, so that Lü Bu's strength has now reached 15,000.
And the families of the 10,000 soldiers and 20,000 soldiers brought by Lu Bu, as well as the 10,000 pirates on Yuzhou Island, facing more than 200,000 Mahan aliens, these 40,000 Han people are the treasures that Lu Bu can speed up the pace of ruling Mahan.
For these 40,000 Han people, Lu Bu naturally assigned them houses to live in and fields to cultivate, so that they could live in peace and three meals a day without starving in the land of Sanhan.
Of course, for Lu Bu, an outsider who wants to be their king of Mahan, they have also suffered a lot of opposition from the Mahan people in a short period of time, so they have made waves in various parts of Mahan in an attempt to overthrow the rule of Lü Bu, a Han Chinese!
However, Lu Bu, who is strong and strong, naturally won't let them be so presumptuous, showing his bright butcher's knife and stretching out to those Mahan people who dare to make waves, and soon, let them pay the price of blood!
Of course, after giving these troublesome Mahan people bloody killings, Lu Bu also had to give them a sweet date to eat, and a stick and sweet jujube would be conducive to Lu Bu's rule over them.
Lu Bu immediately reduced the taxes of the Mahan people, so that because of the heavy taxes every year, no matter how they get up early and work greedily every day, they still can't eat enough and can't wear warm clothes, so that these Mahan people have surplus food from now on, and they can also afford to buy new clothes.
Lu Bu's good deed immediately won the praise of the poor Ma Han people.
Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer!
It is no exaggeration to say that these poor people are pigs raised by the nobles and strong, and they have no ability to resist, and the nobles can exploit them as much as they want, and they will die when they want to die, and they will not be responsible for burying them when they die!
Under Lu Bu's bloody killing and the reduction of taxes and sweet dates on the people of Mahan, these Mahan people gradually recognized Lü Bu as the new ruler, so that Lü Bu could gain a firm foothold in Mahan in the land of Sanhan!
After a month like this, it was time to send troops to conquer the neighboring kingdoms of Chenhan and Benhan.
On this day, Lu Bu drove his own expedition, with Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao as deputy generals, and led more than 3,000 cavalry to ride out of Xingba City and go towards Benhan in the east.
And Chen Han, the wise man Chen Gong, was the military division of the army, and Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cao Bao, and Zang Ba were the generals, leading 4,000 troops to conquer in the past!
And Hao Zhao and Chen Qun led the remaining soldiers and horses to sit in Xingba City, so as not to let some people hiding in the shadows and with bad intentions make waves in the rear because the army went to conquer Chenhan and Benhan!
The dispatch of Lu Bu's army made Chen Han and Ben Han, two small countries that had long been extremely jealous of Lu Bu, immediately feel tight, and they didn't have time to think about it, they hurriedly dispatched troops to deal with the conquest of Lu Bu's army!
