Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dock

Yiwu.

After Huang Fu Song left, there was no one in charge of Hewu, and when Zhang Liao led three thousand wolf horses to come, when he took out Huangfu Song's token, the soldiers of Hewu did not suspect it at all, and directly opened the door of Hewu. After occupying Yiwu, Zhang Liao naturally ordered the grain and grass in Yiwu to be transported, and long before the conquest of Niu Fu, Lu Bu ordered him to plan the layout and recruit the people, which was the time to come in handy.

"Lord!"

Zhang Liao was urging the soldiers to hurry up and carry the grain, when he saw several people riding horses walking leisurely, and the first person was Lu Bu!

In many cases, Zhang Liao called Lu Buqi. However, on some occasions, Zhang Liao would also call Lu Bu the lord. Just like on the battlefield, there are only kings and ministers, no brothers and sisters.

"Wen Yuan doesn't have to be polite! You've done a great job this time! ”

Lu Bu looked up at the tall Hewu, and exclaimed, when he first came to this world, the first moment he opened his eyes, it was in Hewu! At that time, Dong Zhuo had just died, and Lu Bu's predecessor, the orthodox commander, captured Hewu and went to Hewu to find his Diao Chan.

Coming to this Yiwu again, Lu Bu can finally take a good look at this Yiwu. Last time, he didn't see the appearance of Yi Wu at all, but just opened his eyes and fainted again. At this time, I was also a little amazed when I saw the tall Haowu! Yiwu, high and thick! The city wall is as thick as Chang'an. It is reported that when the Hewu was built, Dong Zhuo enslaved 250,000 people, and I don't know how much money and manpower it cost to build what it is today!

"There are thousands of guards in Hewu, even if tens of thousands of troops are on the march, with this strong city wall, it can support it for several days! Fortunately, the lord took his coach Huangfu Song away, causing the dragons of Yiwu to be leaderless, so that today's merit is possible! ”

Zhang Liao said with a smile.

"Hahaha!"

Lu Bu laughed a few times, looking at the horses that kept coming out of it to transport military rations, as well as donkeys and cattle and other livestock, as well as those thin people, Lu Bu couldn't help asking, "Wenyuan, how much grain is there in this Yiwu?" ”

"My lord, there are still one million grains and grass in this Yiwu!"

Zhang Liao replied.

This answer alone made Lu Bu gasp. Li Ru behind him was not surprised, "In the past, Dong Xiangzhu built a dock and hoarded the grain and grass of the army here for 20 years, which is enough for tens of millions!" A million is only a fraction of that. ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity!"

After listening to Li Ru's words, Lu Bu finally understood how generous Dong Zhuo was. What is the most important thing in troubled times? Grain! If the people are gone, you can be recruited again, and when the money is gone, you can rob again, but there is no food, there will be no soldiers to follow you, and there will be no money in your pocket. Dong Zhuo has hoarded so much grain and grass in this Yiwu, as long as he doesn't die, he can really retire for life! With these things, there is no worry that there are no soldiers who are not loyal to themselves.

However, the more he heard about the huge number, the more Lu Bu felt bad in his heart! When he leaves Chang'an at this moment, so much grain and grass will definitely not be able to be transported. Even if he recruited many people, but the army wanted to leave, naturally only a part of the grain and grass could be taken.

"Wen Yuan, how much can you take this million grains and grass?"

Lu Bu stared at Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao said firmly, "My lord, the last general has already recruited all the livestock near Chang'an, and the horses ridden by the wolves have been brought over for the purpose of transporting grain and grass. But at most, it can only take 500,000 Hu! ”

"500,000 Hu...... Not a lot! ”

Lu Bu groaned and laughed again, "500,000 Hu, enough for my 30,000 army for a year, with this year, I am bound to gain a foothold in a state!" ”

Looking at Lu Bu with this lofty ambition, Li Ru, who was behind Lu Bu, seemed to see the former Ming Gong again!

Pity! What a pity!

Li Ru's eyes drooped and he looked at the tall Yiwu. sighed in his heart: If Dong Zhuo is really as wise as he once was, how can he not get it in this world! He went from being a handsome man to a powerful minister who resisted the princes of the world, how much effort did he put in?

"There must be no mistakes in the army of grain transporters! Wen Yuan, I will hand over the important task of escorting grain and grass to you, and soon after Wei Gaoshun, Song Xianhou Cheng and the four generals will also come to escort! This food is our lifeblood! There is no room for error. ”

Lu Bu said, "This attack on Yiwu is to obtain so much grain and grass, I am afraid that Chang'an will definitely not give up, and will inevitably send a large army to pursue, I will cut off the rear for you!" ”

"The lord is wise!"

Zhang Liao praised.

Watching Zhang Liao turn around and leave, he went to supervise the delivery of grain and grass. Li Ru suddenly said, "The lord is afraid that this court will not dare to pursue it again." ”

"How so?"

Lu Bu looked at Li Ru.

"The lord thinks that in Chang'an today, who else can fight with the lord?"

Li Ru touched his goatee and smiled.

"It's worthy of Li Wen's worries!"

Lu Bu smiled and looked into the distance, "Presumably Wen He, he has already sent the letter to His Majesty at this time, right?" ”

"The lord is willing to let Jia Wenhe go? If Jia Wenhe stayed in Chang'an, or was detained, wouldn't the lord lose a big help! ”

Li Ru squinted at Lu Bu.

"In this matter, except for Wen He, no one can take on this important responsibility. You and I must believe in Wenhe! ”

Lu Bu pretended to smile lightly.

His heart is not at peace! Even though he believed in Jia Xu's strength, he couldn't help but worry. If Jia Xu is compensated because of this incident, it will be a big loss.

"The lord is so trusted, Wen He will definitely be able to live up to the lord's hope!"

Li Ru praised.

"Hahaha! Then let's wait for the good news of Wenhe! ”

Lu Budao.

Several people continued to walk towards Yiwu, looking at these busy people, Lu Bu suddenly stopped his horse, "If these people follow the army, I'm afraid they will also leave their hometowns." ”

"The lord's reward, in Chang'an, I don't know how many ordinary people are willing to take on this errand."

Li Ru chuckled.

For these people, Lu Bu's treatment is not light! If it were other people, they would recruit these people and forcibly arrest them directly, at most they would take care of their food, how could they be like Lu Bu and give them money!

I still remember that when Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, he recruited many people! But he never gave any money, at most he gave a little food! Just let them eat enough.

"Wen You, do you think that if I requisition these people, they won't dare to disobey?"

Lu Bu glanced at Li Ru, and continued without waiting for Li Ru to answer, "Indeed, if I forcibly recruit them, they will not dare to disobey!" But there will be complaints in the heart! To do things, you can't do your best. Give them their reward now, and they should do their duty. ”

Moreover, they may have families, but they are the pillars of the family! If they are recruited to go, there will naturally be no pillars in the family, and how will the family survive? ”

"What the lord said is very true!"

Li Ruvino said.

Lu Bu pointed at Li Ru, and then at those people and said with a smile, "What these people want is to be able to live and live a little better!" This is the case with all the people in the world! As long as they can live, they will not commit crimes! In the past, the Second Emperor Huan Ling ignored political affairs and sold his official position, which caused the people in the four places to complain, and finally led to the rebellion of the Yellow Turban rebels who swept the world! Today, Dong Zhuo worked hard for the people and lost money, causing the people's hearts to turn their backs, and everyone hated and killed him. ”

"Troubled times don't talk about benevolence and righteousness! But righteousness must be used as a means! If there is really no such word benevolence and righteousness, it will be the time of self-destruction. ”

Lu Bu's words made Li Ru slightly silent.

After Dong Zhuo died, he thought about many reasons for his failure. But I never felt that it had much to do with the common people, but today's few words from Lu Bu made this poisoner Li Ru's heart have two more words.
