Chapter 106: It's better to give up Peiguo
The current strength of Fang He is the most elite force of the Yanzhou army, if these soldiers are lost in the hands of the Xuzhou army, it will be more difficult for Liu Dai to stabilize the situation in Yanzhou.
The state pastoral government sent officials and troops to Taishan County, as for the army of Lu State, there is no need to worry about it for the time being, Chen Xinai is the captain of Lu State, and it is still possible to control the situation of Lu State.
&bsp; Yanzhou has already shown sincerity, the matter of rice grain and blades will be delayed for a while, Lu Bu is not afraid that Liu Dai will dare to repay the debt in this matter, unless Liu Dai wants to pay a heavier price, the previous battles have shown very well, the Yanzhou army is not worth mentioning in front of the Xuzhou army.
And in Yanzhou, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are flowing around, more and more, if you can't suppress the ravages of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, Yanzhou will repeat the mistakes of Qingzhou, once upon a time, Qingzhou is also a not weak existence in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, but now it has become the world of the Yellow Turbans, even if the princes have few ideas about Qingzhou, the main thing is that the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are endless.
The scourge of the Yellow Turbans is extraordinary, sweeping through the counties and plundering the villages, and the people who have been plundered will become one of them, and in this way, the number of Yellow Turbans will increase.
In September of the second year of Chuping, the Xuzhou army withdrew from Yanzhou.
In order to show his attention, LΓΌ Bu personally led the officials in the city to welcome the return of the victorious army.
The five hundred soldiers with the best performance in the army were selected and followed Lu Bu around the city.
The selected soldiers looked excited, this is a great honor, to be able to get such an honor, their status in the army will definitely be greatly improved in the future.
Such an incentive method makes the officers and soldiers in the army have more yearning, and following a monarch like Lu Bu, do you still need to worry about not getting more credit in the future.
On both sides of the street, there are a lot of people gathered, for these people who came out to welcome the victory of the army, the state governor did not force it, if the people have a home, they do not need the order of the official, they will also go to greet them, the government gives an order, and the people who come will be more, but the effect is not good.
&bsp; When the war was over, the troops sent out returned to Pengcheng.
Pengcheng has a large army of 20,000 people, after the war, the number has been sharply reduced to more than 15,000 people, more than 4,000 soldiers buried in the battlefield, many of them because they were injured and could not get timely treatment and died, this is the case in the war of this era, it is impossible to have a good guarantee in terms of medical treatment.
The day after the army returned to Pengcheng, LΓΌ Bu summoned civilian and military generals in the governor's mansion and praised the brave soldiers and officials who guarded Pengcheng.
The great victory of the Xuzhou army not only got the benefits after the victory, but also the elite soldiers.
It is very difficult for officers and men in the army to become elite by relying only on ordinary training, and many officers and men have shown a good level in ordinary training, but when it comes to the real battlefield, it is difficult for them to really bring out the level of training.
War is the best place to promote the growth of officers and men in the army, and unqualified officers and men will be eliminated by war.
The big waves washed the sand, and those who stayed were the elite in the army.
"Wenhe, now Guangling guards Zhang Chao, and he has returned to the Shunzhou Pastoral Mansion and is temporarily imprisoned in the prison in the city." Lu Bu said with a smile.
Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to Wenhou for stabilizing Xuzhou." β
"However, the situation from Taishan County is not very good, and there are many yellow scarves passing through Taishan County in Qingzhou." Lu Bu frowned slightly.
After becoming a state minister, Lu Bu paid more attention to the affairs of the army, and important political affairs still needed to go through him.
Jia Xu seemed to have expected Lu Bu to ask this question, and got up and said: "The matter of Taishan County, there is no need to worry, Wen Hou led the Xuzhou Army to defeat the Yanzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army with a strong attitude, shocking the world, even if it is the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, they must have heard the name of Wen Hou, if they know that Taishan County is under the rule of Wen Hou, how dare they make a mistake, Wen Hou only needs to send a general to guard Taishan County, not only can stabilize Taishan County, but also threaten Jibei Kingdom." β
Lu Bu nodded and motioned for Jia Xu to continue.
"Chen Xin, the governor of the Lu State, is a member of the Chen family, since the Chen family has taken refuge in Wenhou, there is no need to worry about the affairs of the Lu State." Jia Xu said: "Peiguo is under the rule of Yuzhou, and it is close to Yanzhou, Wenhou can send a powerful general to guard Peiguo and deter people with ulterior motives." β
"Peiguo is under the rule of Yuzhou, and Yuzhou is currently under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shu." Lu Budao, although he was not afraid of Yuan Shu leading his troops to attack, he finally got the support of powerful princes such as Yuan Shu, if he offended Yuan Shu, he didn't know how to make a wise move.
Jia Xu stroked his beard under his chin, and his face was contemplative, Yuzhou is indeed a complicated place, Yuzhou is mostly a plain land, the land is fertile, the population is large, and it is difficult for any prince to refuse to get Yuzhou.
Yuan Shao took advantage of Sun Jian's leadership to attack Dong Zhuo, and appointed Zhou Xin as the assassin of Yuzhou, wanting to seize Yuzhou from Sun Jian's hands and lead troops to repel Yuan Shu.
For the territory of Yuzhou, Yuan Shu has never given up, if someone infringes on Yuan Shu's interests, Yuan Shu will not hesitate to fight back, and Pei Guo is the barrier of Runan, after Pei County Chen Qi defected to Lu Bu, Yuan Shu will form a certain threat, Yuan Shu will sit back and watch such a situation happen.
"Wen Hou might as well give up Peiguo." Jia Xu said slowly.
Hearing this, Lu Bu got up and said, "Why is this so? β
"Pei Guo is very important, Wen Hou should not be at this time with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu occupies the land of Yuzhou and Yangzhou, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the elite under his command is tens of thousands, and Yuan Shu supports Wen Hou as Xuzhou Mu, is Wen Hou's ally, with the help of the name of the Yuan family, Wen Hou can gain a foothold in Xuzhou, let out Peiguo, Wen Hou will get more benefits." Jia Xu said.
Lu Bu frowned and pondered, Peiguo is rich and has a large population, and getting Peiguo is extremely good for Xuzhou, and with Peiguo as a barrier, Pengcheng will not be exposed to other princes, and there is a greater guarantee of safety.
But Jia Xu's words also have a point.
"Okay, Ben Hou believes in Wenhe and gives up the Pei State Department." Lu Budao.
Jia Xu's gaze at Lu Bu was more different, he could make such a trade-off at a critical moment, just this courage is not something ordinary people can have, Peiguo is under Lu Bu's control, and it will be of great help to Lu Bu's development.
Being able to follow the advice so simply and give the Peiguo to Yuan Shu did make Jia Xu impressed.
