Chapter 348: The Yellow River is full of harms, but only one set of riches!
In this battle of Yuan Lu, if it weren't for these Black Mountain bandits attacking Yuan Shao's Yedu, Yuan Shao would not have been defeated like that. Speaking of which, these Black Mountain thieves also helped Lu Bu a lot. It's just that Lu Bu won't be grateful to them!
These Montenegrin bandits, even though they claim to be the Montenegrin Army, are just a group of rogues after all! Their nests are hidden deep in the rolling Taihang Mountains, and their areas of activity are all over the place. Relying on the Eight Paths of Taihang, they can plunder everywhere. The sheer size of its power is even more staggering! The soldiers and horses that claim to be hundreds of thousands will not despise them on any side.
Since taking the helm of the state, Lu Bu has been lamenting that the state is barren and sparsely populated. Because of the disaster, and the state is indeed a huge population reduction. But part of the reason is that there are still many people who have fallen into the grass and become one of the black mountain thieves in the Taihang Mountains. Such a force is staying in the territory of his state, how can Lu Bu sleep peacefully? Moreover, most of these hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain thieves are also ordinary people, and with such a large population, Lu Bu is red-eyed.
In order to increase the population of Bingzhou, LΓΌ Bu even tried to stay behind those who fled from the drought in Guanzhong. I don't know how much effort it took to move them to the Hetao Tuntian, to prepare cattle and fields for them, and to build farm tools for them. And in the face of so many Black Mountain thieves in the Taihang Mountains, how could Lu Bu not be mindful?
Just as Zhongshan in Jizhou is a piece of fat in front of Yuan Shao, the black mountain thief in the Taihang Mountains is also a piece of fat in front of Lu Bu's eyes, and he will have to swallow it sooner or later.
Guo Jia quickly understood Lu Bu's thoughts, and he was not surprised, but said lightly, "The lord is very considerate!" When Jia Chu arrived in the state, he didn't know much about these Black Mountain Bandits, and until today, I don't think this Black Mountain Bandit is not to be underestimated! It is really surprising that such a rogue force can besiege Yuan Shao's Yecheng! In my opinion, the ambition of the leader of this Black Mountain Bandit is probably not small! If he just wanted to loot some grain and grass, why did he go to besiege Yuan Shao's Yecheng? Where can you not get some grain and grass in this raiding Jizhou? I just went to that Ye City! Yecheng is Yuan Shao's lair, and no one else will be allowed to touch it! The siege of Yecheng is to provoke Yuan Shao! This seems unwise, but if this Yecheng really let them succeed in their sneak attack, did the lord ever think of what the situation was? β
"What's the situation?"
Lu Bu had never discussed the matter of the Black Mountain thieves with Guo Jia, and he didn't expect Guo Jia to have such an opinion.
"When Yecheng falls, the heart of Yuan's army will collapse!"
Guo Jia took a deep breath, "And the Jizhou Muhu Shou of Chang'an will rule the entire Jizhou with the support of these Black Mountain thieves." Their move seems to be an unwise move, but if Yecheng really falls, with the power of their Black Mountain Bandits, plus this Hushou, there is really a slight possibility......"
"In this way, those people's ambitions are really not small, they want to support a puppet, and then get a Jizhou?"
Lu Bu sneered.
Guo Jia didn't respond to Lu Bu's words, but just said, "In short, the Black Mountain thief is indeed not to be underestimated!" With such a bandit, how could he let the Jizhou Mu Hushou of Chang'an join forces with him to fight against Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, who was born in the fourth world and the third duke? β
Guo Jia's words, Lu Bu agreed very much.
Lu Bu didn't know much about this pot longevity. Since this person is the governor of Chang'an, I am afraid that he still has some talents. Li Dao Guo Yan obviously knew that Jizhou was Yuan Shao's territory, and he wanted to get a Jizhou pastor to come over, so he didn't want to disgust Yuan Shao. After all, this Yuan Shao thinks that he is from a very high background, and he has always looked down on Li Dao and Guo Yan, let alone recognized the court in Chang'an.
Lu Bu also has a guess that this pot of shou will be sent by Li Dao and Guo Yan to collude with the Black Mountain thief Kou to kill Yuan Shao together? But Li Dao Guo Yan and the Black Mountain thief Kou have no friendship. However, Li Guo and the two have some friendship with this Hanoi white wave thief, and there is a deep blood feud between the two sides.
"Since Feng Xiao thinks that these Black Mountain thieves are indeed not simple, then you can pay more attention."
Without continuing to think about it, Lu Bu said to Guo Jia.
No matter what the intentions of these Black Mountain Bandits were, it was impossible for Lu Bu to settle down these Black Mountain Bandits at this time. After several battles, even if Lu Bu wanted to exterminate the Black Mountain Bandits now, it would be impossible to achieve it. Besides, these Black Mountain thieves are not targeting themselves now, but that Yuan Shao, so let them make trouble.
"Don't worry, lord!"
Guo Jia bowed slightly, "Even if these thieves are arrogant for a while, they can't become big in the end!" The lord should also focus on this Hetao tuntian...... Hetao Tuntian is a hundred-year plan for me to merge the state......"
"Hmm."
Lu Bu replied lightly.
Hetao Tuntian said that it was his century-old plan to merge the state, and it was not said out of thin air. This Yellow River is harmful, only one set of riches! The fields of the Hetao are fertile and plain, which is very suitable for farming. It's a good place in Tuntian! In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty developed the Hetao area, and even more in the Hetao water conservancy, which made the Hetao extremely prosperous from the bitter cold land for a time! But it's just a fleeting moment! After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Hetao region became an important place for nomads and the Central Plains to fight! Until the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Hetao area was given to those Huns to live, but these Huns did not know how to make good use of this place. In this regard, Lu Bu can only say that they are really tyrannical creatures!
Such a place, if it can really succeed in Tuntian, this year, there may be millions of Hugu! It is possible to solve the problem of grain and grass in the state. Just as Cao Cao succeeded in implementing Tuntian, he claimed to have laid the foundation of hegemony, pacified the world, and there was no more trouble with food and grass! If he can follow suit, he can also fight for the world.
When Lu Bu's thoughts were wandering, a soldier suddenly came to report from outside the door, "Hou Junjun! Wuwei Captain Han Hao, Dian Nong Zhonglang General Cheng Chong has been waiting outside the mansion! β
"Huh!"
Guo Jia looked at Lu Bu and congratulated Lu Bu, "The two heroes of this Tuntian are back!" Congratulations to the Lord! β
"Hahaha!"
Lu Bu laughed loudly, overjoyed, "Go and order the two of them to come in!" β
"No!"
The soldiers retired.
Lu Bu looked at Guo Jia, "With these two people here, my confidence in the matter of Hetao Tuntian has doubled again!" β
Guo Jia also smiled when he heard this.
This Hanoi's tuntian was only implemented in Hanoi last year, and this year there is good news that there is a million grains, how can it not make people confident?
It is precisely because of the success of Hanoi Tuntian that Lu Bu and the others had the idea of Hetao Tuntian!
