Chapter VIII

In the previous life, my favorite and most admired dynasty was the two Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty laid the territory of China in later generations, and also condensed the whole Han nation, so the Han nationality became a complete and inherited nation. Her bloody nature, "Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!" This sentence of Chen Tang, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, has always been regarded as a guide. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three civil wars continued, which greatly weakened the strength of the entire Han nation, the population was greatly reduced, and the forces of all parties were busy with civil wars, indulging the rise of the northern nomads, which led to the defeat of the two Jin Dynasty, and the loss of the land north of the Yellow River and even the north of the Yangtze River. We must nip all this in the bud, and end the war as soon as possible, so that the people of the world can live a peaceful and stable life, and those eunuchs, relatives, party bans and other dross will be to hell. Since God has allowed him to travel here, the history of this time and space is destined to break away from the original historical trajectory, and he can show his strength and change his and Lu Bu's unwillingness.

After clarifying his mission and goal direction, Lu Bu felt that he had a feeling of being reborn, and his understanding of this world was very different from before, and he seemed to understand the unwillingness of Lu Bu's ancestors, who was obviously the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, but he failed to leave a name in history, and all he left behind was infamy, and he was really unwilling.

Thinking that his efforts might be able to relieve the current internal and external troubles of the Han people, he was full of fighting spirit. Now that he has Ding Yuan's promotion ladder, the next time is to develop his own power and wait for the opportunity.

Lu Bu invited Lu Er, Cheng Laoda and other village leaders, and told them about their plans, since the Huns began to attack the south again, it means that they encountered another famine on the grassland, although they were defeated this time, it is inevitable that they will come back in the future. He planned to gather the people and young people in the nearby villages, work in the agricultural time, train in the leisure time, as volunteers, and implement joint defense in the twelve nearby villages, once the Huns or other nomads have news of going south, they will assemble, no matter which village is attacked, all the volunteers of the villages will first gather in Lü Bu's village, and then set out collectively. Lu Bu's village happened to be in the center of these twelve villages, and agreed on a beacon signal, or light wolf smoke during the day and start a beacon fire at night.

Lu Er, Cheng Boss and others all felt that what Lu Bu said was reasonable, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was not forbidden for the people to practice martial arts, and the martial arts style passed down from the Qin and Han dynasties still existed, especially in the border area, which was originally for the people in peacetime and the army in wartime. They invited the patriarch of other villages, the chief of the tun and others for Lu Bu, and everyone discussed Lu Bu's proposal together, Lu Bu became famous in the first battle, and the entire Jiuyuan region knew that there was a young hero, even the thousand-commander and centurion who killed the Huns, and the young people in each village and village all took Lu Bu as an example, and everyone understood the truth of clenching their fingers into fists, since Lu Bu was willing to take the lead, it was very suitable.

Soon, the twelve villages were allied in Lu Bu's village, and they were scheduled to advance and retreat together with life and death, and Lu Bu served as the commander of the volunteer army of the twelve villages for joint defense. Twelve villages selected 500 young and strong, all of them are children of the border army, trained by Lu Bu, this matter was reported in Jiuyuan County, the county commander fully supported, the county commander's strength is obviously insufficient, someone is willing to share for themselves, it's too late to be happy, not to mention that Lu Bu is still the righteous son of Lord Ding Yuan, I heard that Lord Ding defeated the Huns two armies this time, and his military achievements were outstanding, and even the Taishou of Yunzhong County was commended, and the promotion was imminent, and the vacancy left by the Taishou was heard to be filled by Lord Ding Yuan. It was the time to show goodwill, so not only did he give Lu Bu's bonus of 100,000 yuan, but also transferred a batch of ring-headed knives, spears, and longbows from the warehouse in Jiuyuan County to encourage them, and the crossbows and armor belonged to controlled equipment, so he didn't dare to provide them, but he also sent 500 catties of high-quality iron ore to allow Lu Bu's volunteers to build simple weapons and equipment by themselves. With the recognition of the government, Lu Bu organized and trained much more justifiably, and Song Xian and Wei Xu also moved from their homes to live with everyone. Lu Bu divided the five hundred people into five teams, each team of 100 people, Cheng Lian, Song Xian, and Wei Xu each led one team, and he led two teams. Lu Bu combined the military training method of later generations with the current situation to formulate a training outline, first practice physical fitness and military posture, a 10-kilometer armed cross-country every day, these young people who ran complained of hardship, Lu Bu moved out the slogan of "sweating more in peacetime, less bloodshed in wartime", and every time he took the lead, ran 10 kilometers with everyone, and everyone had nothing to say. Then practice the military posture, take a break and stand up and walk in unison, everyone feels fresh at first, but when they stand under the scorching sun for an hour, they don't have any good feelings, but Lu Bu still leads by example, standing at the end, Cheng Lian and others have raised the question of what is the use of training military posture? However, Lu Bu insisted that although the military posture could not directly enhance combat effectiveness, it could shape the image and temperament of a soldier, and exercised the discipline and tenacious perseverance of orders and prohibitions. Lu Bu also competed between teams, running in competitions, military postures, throwing, archery, and horseback riding, so as to enhance team cohesion, a sense of honor and competitiveness. This recruit training was in full swing, which was unprecedented in this era, and it also laid the foundation for Lu Bu's routine recruit training in the future.

In a month's time, the physical fitness and mental outlook of these 500 volunteers have been significantly improved, and their combat skills have also improved significantly. Under the training of Lu Bu and Cheng Lian, the loyalty of the volunteers was greatly improved, and the benefits brought by standing in a military posture were increasingly reflected, and the orders and prohibitions were basically achieved. On this day, Song Xian ran in in a hurry, "Lu Bu, haven't you always wanted to find a skilled craftsman?" I heard that there was a blacksmith in the bazaar of Li Zhuang, who used to make iron in the official workshop of Jinyang City, and then heard that there was a lawsuit, so he fled here and came here, and his skills are very high, but I heard that now he only fights agricultural tools and not weapons. "Oh? I'm just thinking about making a good weapon, let's go, let's go and have a look, and if you really have the craft, please come back and build weapons for all of us. "After a month of hard training, a few people have already been suffocated, and when I heard that I had the opportunity to go to the market, I was very positive. Before Lu Bu and the others arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw Lu Feifei riding a horse and stopping at the entrance of the village, with the momentum of a husband who could not be opened. "Humph! Big brother, if you want to sneak out if you don't want to take me, there is no door. "Lu Bu doesn't want to entangle with her, let's have a haha." I asked Wei Xu to call you, saying that I didn't find it, so we left first, since we came, let's go together. After speaking, he gave Wei Xu and the others a look, and several people came to pat their chests to testify, not forgetting Lu Feifei, Lu Feifei ignored them, and heard that Lu Bu agreed, so he hurriedly followed Lu Bu's side, not leaving an inch, for fear that Lu Bu would regret it.

The bazaar of Lizhuang is actually the place where the fixed border of Jiuyuan County is opened for trade, so there are a lot of merchants coming and going from the north and south, the Xianbei people in the north, the Ding Ling people, and even the Huns have come here to trade, exchange materials, trade with each other, they need salt, tea, cloth, copper and iron and other metal products in the south, and the Han people also need their horses, cattle and sheep, animal furs, wild medicinal materials, ore raw materials, etc. Therefore, the market of Li Zhuang is very lively, bustling, the largest family of Li Zhuang is naturally surnamed Li, the Li family has earned a lot of income through business and renting out the site and house, and the power of the Li family has gradually grown, and even set up a team of several hundred people to protect the village to maintain public order and market order.

Under the leadership of Song Xian, Lu Bu and his entourage walked through the streets and alleys, and soon thought of a small blacksmith shop in the southeast corner of the market. What's even more interesting is that all these farm tools actually have sharp blades, and the place where the blades are opened is glowing with cold light, which can catch up with the ring-headed knife of the Han army. Lu Bu picked up a sickle and danced twice, feeling very comfortable, the edge of the blade was abnormally sharp, where was the sickle for mowing the grass, it was simply a sharp weapon to kill the enemy, and aimed at a wooden pier placed next to it, Lu Bu only used five points of force to split the wooden pier in half. The sound of the wooden pier rolling finally alarmed the people in the blacksmith shop, and the sound of striking iron stopped, and two big men, one old and one young, walked out naked. Seeing that Lu Bu and his party were all young men and women, he was slightly surprised, and when he saw the sickle still in Lu Bu's hand, the old man stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask the name of the strong man?" This wooden mound was split by a strong man with this sickle? "Yes, it was I who split it, my name is Lu Bu, I heard that there was a blacksmith from the Lizhuang Bazaar, who was highly skilled and could make weapons, so I brought my brothers over to have a look?" "Lu Bu? You are Lu Bu? Lu Bu, who defeated the Huns a month ago, slashed and killed the Hun commander by himself, and captured the horse? The young man behind the old man asked excitedly. Lu Bu smiled slightly, "Yes, it's down." The old man also said excitedly, "No wonder there is such a divine power, it turns out that the young hero is here." The sharpness of this scythe, I know very well, my son was born with divine power, and the day after tomorrow he has been striking iron with a sledgehammer all the year round, and this kind of power can only split the wooden pier with all his strength, dare to ask how much force did the hero use? Lu Bu was a little shy, and he had to go all out to split it, but he ...... himself, "I probably used fifty percent of my strength." Lu Bu decided to tell the truth. "God, really God, the hero is above, by the old man, thank the hero for beating the Huns and saving the lives of the people in the city, otherwise the Huns will be miserable to see the city." Lu Bu hurriedly stepped forward to help.
