More than half of the 230,000 people outside the city were registered.

According to the regulations, each person can get three acres of fertile land, half a stone of grain, and two hundred copper coins.

All in all, I have to receive 600,000 acres of fertile land, 100,000 stone of grain, and 40 million copper coins!

I have to say that it is really a big spender, even if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao do not dare to squander it like this.

It's night.

The stars are shining.

The people received money and food, and went home happy.

The whole Shouchun City is full of smoke and bright lights. The stalls set up and the shopping shops have returned to the lively situation of the past. In other words, it was more prosperous than during the reign of Yuan Shu.

This prosperity is not about money and material, but about the feeling and atmosphere that people give.

Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse and walked through the street, and the people knelt down one after another, expressing their heartfelt thanks and worship.

It is conceivable that in his future years, the people of Shouchun City will trust and support Lu Bu and support the government, and Shouchun City will also become lively and prosperous because of Lu Bu's arrival.

Return to the Assassin's House.

Lu Bu suddenly thought of something.

Some time ago, when Nie Zheng was summoned, Mu Guiying was also summoned.

Now that Nie Zheng has appeared, what about Mu Guiying?

When will this strange woman with a straightforward temperament and a soft temperament appear?

"My lord, Mr. Gongtai is here." Zhang Feng reported outside the door.

"Let him in."

"No."

Chen Gong held an account book and entered the study.

Lu Bu asked with a smile: "Mr. is here, I'm afraid I don't want to talk about money and food again, right?" ”

"The lord is wise, it is a matter of money and food. According to Mr. Berwyn's statistics, there are only three months of military rations left in the Shouchun granary.... ”

"Alright, I don't want to hear that." Lu Bu interrupted him: "Go and call Gao Shun, I have something to tell him to do." ”

"Lord, the grain of Shouchun must be supplied to Huainan, Lujiang, Danyang, Jian'an, as well as Yuzhang, Huiji and Wujun, which are about to be annexed, to relieve the people who can't eat, and the gap is still very big."

"If there is no food, it will be mobilized from Xuzhou, what is the use of you telling me?"

Lu Bu glanced at Chen Gong and frowned: "One hundred thousand stone grain has been distributed to the people in the city, you don't want me to take it back, right?" If that's the idea, dismiss it as soon as possible. ”

"That's not true, I just want the lord to write a warrant. You also know that Lord Xiao He Xiao regards money and food as his life, and if he does not have a warrant from the lord, he is afraid that it will be difficult to adjust the food. ”

"That's fine."

Lu Bu nodded, wrote a warrant, and handed it to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong left with a warrant.

Soon, Gao Shun came to the study: "Lord, are you looking for me?" ”

"Well, it's a little bit to discuss with you. Sit down and talk. Lu Bu waved his hand.

Gao Shun did not take a seat, and arched his hand: "The lord has something to do, please just ask." ”

Lu Bu asked, "How many people are there in the pioneer battalion under your command?" ”

"According to the instructions of the lord, the last general has eliminated those who are unwilling to join the army, the disabled, the old and infirm, and there are still 34,000 people left, including more than 2,000 lightly wounded."

"Hmm."

Lu Bu stood up, looked at the map next to him, and said, "You bring them to this position, garrison them to rest, and wait for Cao Cao's troops to withdraw from Yuzhang, Huiji, and Wu County, and then go to take over the territory." ”

Lu Bu pointed to the periphery of Pingshan.

"No."

Gao Shun thought about it and asked with some disbelief: "Will Cao Cao really withdraw?" ”

"What do you say? Is Xu Huang, Cao Ren, Xu Chu, and Xia Houen important? Or are Yuzhang, Huiji, and Wu Jun important? Lu Bu sneered: "If he really doesn't withdraw, you can call me and occupy Yuzhang County first." I will send General Xiang Yu to support you. ”

"No."

Gao Shun smiled, feeling confident.

Two days later, on his way back to Yanzhou, Cao Cao received a letter from Lü Bu. It was required to exchange the captured generals for three counties and 40,000 stone of grain.

"Shameless, shameless!" Cao Cao angrily tore up the letterhead.

"Prime Minister is angry, the matter has come to this, it is better to promise Lu Bu..." Cheng Yu rode a horse and followed Cao Cao's chariot closely.

Guo Jia and Cao Hong were also on the side.

"What did you say?!"

"The captured generals, most of them are relatives of the prime minister, how can they not be saved?"

Cheng Yu thought to himself, in fact, Lu Bu is still very good, every time he catches a general, he doesn't kill on a large scale, otherwise, how many generals are left in Yanzhou? But he didn't dare to say this openly, for fear of making Cao Cao angry and vomit blood.

"Since the Battle of Yangzhou, Lu Bu's strength is not what it used to be, and he must not fight, we should befriend him, and then provoke a war between him and Yuan Shao, we can also take the opportunity to rest." Guo Jia said.

Cao Cao nodded, forcing himself to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Speaking of which, Lu Bu is also a good person, if he catches our generals, he will not hurt or kill, but only ask for 20,000 stones of grain and grass... Hehe, it's funny, he treats war as a business. Guo Jia couldn't help but laugh.

Cheng Yu rolled his eyes.

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched constantly.

Think about how many times I have been blackmailed by Lu Bu in the past two years, not to mention Xu Huang and Xun You before, and now four more have been kidnapped. If this continues, even if he has a mountain of grain, it will be emptied.

Seeing that Cao Cao was angry and panting, Guo Jia comforted: "The prime minister doesn't need to be angry, it's only 40,000 stone grain and grass, in exchange for Cao Ren, Xu Huang and other generals, we have taken a big advantage." ”

"What a big bargain... And what about Yuzhang, Huiji, and Wu Jun? ”

Guo Jiadao: "These three counties, although they are all next to Yanzhou, but there is no danger to defend, if Lu Bu seizes Yuzhang, it will divide the other two counties, bringing difficulties to our army's garrison." Since I can't hold it... ”

Cao Cao understood what Guo Jia meant, but he was holding his breath in his heart: "I have been busy for four months, I have lost most of my soldiers and horses, I have not gained anything, and I have been blackmailed by him when I am dying, which is unbearable!" ”

After a pause, Cao Cao said angrily: "Give me an order to the generals stationed in the three counties, loot the local people, and take away all resources!" I'm going to let Lu Bu's army get there, and not a single copper coin or a grain of rice!" Don't even keep iron tools! ”

"No." Cao Hong replied.

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu did not advise, otherwise, they could not calm their anger.

"Bonghyo, what do you want to say about the defeat in this battle?" Cao Cao took a deep breath and asked.

"I feel that there must be a capable person in Lu Bu's army, and this person is definitely not Chen Gong. The prime minister should send someone to investigate. ”

"Well, I feel the same way." Cheng Yu said: "With Chen Gong's mind, he can't make such a perfect plan. Take the Battle of Pingshan as an example, he was able to calculate that Zhang Xun would evacuate and let Lu Bu, Xiang Yu, and Li Yuanba lead the army to fight with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. According to the scouts, there were no other armies within a radius of hundreds of miles at that time, that is to say, Lu Bu was fighting alone, how could he be sure that he could defeat the tiger and leopard cavalry? This is not only a joke about the war, but also a joke about Lu Bu's life. This person is not only scheming, but also vicious, and even Lu Bu is calculated by him. ”
