"I heard that there are a lot of mountains in the three counties, is it true?" Xiang Yu asked.

"That's right, especially Huiji County and Wu County, are the places where Shanyue gathers the most..." Halfway through Chen Gong's words, Xiang Yu looked delighted, and arched his hand towards Lu Bu and said, "Lord, let me go." ”

Li Yuanba and Zhang Liao also took a step forward and prepared to fight.

Liu Bowen closed his eyes and recuperated.

"Wu Jun Shanyue is handsome and handsome, but there are more than 10,000 people. Pan Lin, the handsome man of Huiji Mountain and Yuequ, is only five or six thousand people. Why do you need General Xiang to go in person? Lu Bu shook his head and did not agree.

"Wenyuan."

"Yes." Zhang Liao was listed.

"How about you lead your troops and horses?"

"The last general commands."

Zhang Liao agreed without hesitation.

Although the soldiers and horses under his command suffered all casualties in the Battle of Ping'a, after a few months of recuperation, there were more than 5,000 people, plus the soldiers and horses of Gao Shun and Luo Cheng, which were enough to deal with Pan Lin and Yan Baihu.

"The three counties were sacked by Cao Cao, and they were in dire need of the talents of the county guards to govern. Is there a good candidate for the public station? ”

"Yes."

Chen Gong said: "There are two adults, Yang Hong and Li Feng, who are worthy of this important task. ”

For these two people, Lu Bu has also been hesitating whether it should be used or not. It's not that I'm worried about their talents, but I'm worried about whether they will hold a grudge because of Yuan Shu's affairs, and they will be connected with Cao Cao and the family.

"My lord, my ministers are willing to do the work of dogs and horses." Yang Hong and Li Feng both knelt down at the same time, their faces sincere.

Lu Bu glanced at Chen Gong, and then nodded: "Okay, since Mr. Gongtai has recommended it, I will send you two there." Yang Hong is the Taishou of Wu County, and Li Feng is the Taishou of Huiji County, I hope you will govern well and don't let me down. ”

"Thank you, Lord."

Yang Hong and Li Feng both showed ecstasy.

During this time, they were looked down upon a lot and felt very uncomfortable, and now they were released as officials, and they were still senior officials at the county level, so they could finally get rid of the discrimination of the generals in the army, and they also gained a firm foothold in Lu Bu's forces.

"As for Yuzhang County, it will be governed by Gao Shun for the time being, and it will be handed over after finding a new Taishou."

After the matter of the three counties was resolved, Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief.

He picked up a thick booklet on the table, flipped through it, and said: "In the past two years, you have made a lot of contributions with me from birth to death. I, Lu Bu, am by no means the one who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, I remember your merits one by one, and after Yangzhou is stabilized, I will reward them one by one according to the size of their merits. ”

When they heard this, they all laughed.

The merits they have made are too many to count, if they want to be knighted, what kind of official position should they be?

Everyone began to talk about the merits.

Chen Gong took a look, quickly coughed twice, and said, "Now is not the time to say credit. The seven counties of Yangzhou are in ruins, and the armies are scattered, making it difficult to concentrate their forces, so Yangzhou should be governed first.... ”

"Mr. Gongtai, you're really going to spoil your fun." Xiang Yu complained.

"Hahaha..."

The generals burst into laughter.

"Mr. Gongtai is not wrong, Yangzhou is indeed in ruins. You need to govern Yangzhou before you can talk about the reward. Lu Bu stood up and said, "I have been thinking about it for a few days, although Xiapi City is good, it is not as solid, dangerous and prosperous as Shouchun. In addition, our governance and defense focus are all in Yangzhou, so I decided to use Shouchun as the capital, what do you think? ”

After saying this, Lu Bu set his eyes on Liu Bowen.

"Berwyn, are you on a business? Or sleeping? What do you do with your eyes closed? Lu Bu was a little disliked. Since defeating Cao Cao, Liu Bowen has rarely offered advice and does not care about the development of Yangzhou.

Everyone looked at Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen opened his eyes and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The lord and the minister are deliberating, not sleeping." ”

"Did you hear what I just said?"

"I hear you."

"What do you think?"

Liu Bowen arched his hand and said: "Shouchun is the most important military town and strategic place in the Central Plains, with water and land connection, fertile soil and abundant products. Correct... All the princes who took Shouchun as their capital did not have a good end, such as the Chu State of the year, the multi-way rebel army of the Qin and Han dynasties, all perished here, and now Yuan Shu is defeated, which shows that Shouchun is an ominous place.... ”

Hearing this, all the generals were dumbfounded.

The corners of Chen Gong's mouth twitched.

"Shut up!" Lu Bu said angrily: "You're here to deliberately anger me, right?" ”

"Don't dare."

Lu Bu called two soldiers and ordered, "Fork him out." ”

"No."

"Wait..." Lu Bu suddenly thought that when Liu Bowen said this, it was very likely that he was deliberately provoking him, and then he was belittled and did not want to go to the court to discuss matters. Because Liu Bowen was only interested in Cao Cao, Cao Cao was driven away, and there was no need to offer advice.

"Let him go."

Lu Bu waved his hand, and the two soldiers exited the hall.

"Yuan Shu's defeat was self-inflicted, not because Shouchun was ominous, and I never believed in these fallacies." Lu Bu sat back in his seat and refuted Liu Bowen.

"The lord is wise." Chen Gong also gave Liu Bowen a blank look.

Immediately, the matter of taking Shouchun as the capital was decided in this way.

Lü Bu wrote an order and sent someone to Xiapi City to escort Xiao He, Diao Chan, Pan Jinlian, and a large number of property, baggage, and equipment to Huainan.

After arriving in Xuzhou, Chen Gong served as the chief secretary of Xuzhou and was responsible for governing Xuzhou.

Fan Lihua served as the governor of Xuzhou and was in charge of the military power of the six counties of Xuzhou.

In this regard, Chen Gong has long been mentally prepared and is also happy to serve in Xuzhou.

After discussing for a long time, no one talked about recruiting and dividing troops, which made Lu Bu a little surprised.

"Danyang, Jian'an, and Lujiang are all guarded, so there is no need to send troops for the time being. Now it is a matter of exterminating Shanyue, especially in Huainan, and I will never allow any rebel forces to exist. ”

"General Xiang Yu, there are 20,000 elites under his command, and he can send troops to exterminate Shanyue. At the same time, I will also order Song Xian, Zang Ba, and Cheng Lian to counterattack the Shanyue army in their respective territories. I hope to end the fighting in various places within six months. ”

"No."

When the deliberations are over, the congregation will depart.

Mu Guiying hurriedly said: "Husband, you haven't said anything about Danyang Bing?" ”

Lu brazzed her, entered the back hall, and said, "No one cares about the generals, so why should I bother? You will lead it first. When Xiao He arrived, he recruited new soldiers and distributed them to the generals, and the generals had nothing to say. ”

"Besides, the Danyang soldiers were captured by you, and they fought thousands of miles with you, whoever dares to covet your soldiers and horses, I will definitely scold him."

"Hehe... Then I might as well be respectful. ”

Mu Guiying smiled and pretended to make a gesture at Lu Bu.
