Chapter 377: Count the Crimes, and Correct the Laws
"The Han army is all cavalry?"
Yu Fuluo was slightly stunned and even more surprised.
It's not that there is anything wrong with this cavalry, with these thousands of Han horses, it is enough to deter these miscellaneous beards. It's just that these cavalry can gallop across the plains, but this siege is much inferior. From Fuluo's point of view, if those Qiang Hu refused to respond to the call, Lu Bu would most likely use his sword soldiers. Once the sword soldiers are mobilized, several cities in this Shuofang, Guangmu Linrong Fertile Field, these places should be inevitable to fight. In this way, if those Qianghu do not come out of the city, these cavalry will be helpless.
With a mind full of questions, Yu Fuluo and his party still stationed their soldiers and horses outside this Shuofang city.
At this time, there was no room for so many soldiers and horses in Shuofang City, so many tribes' soldiers and horses were stationed outside Shuofang City. The soldiers and horses of the Zhuhu tribe are united, and there are at least tens of thousands of horsemen! This also adds those miscellaneous soldiers and horses who are not cavalry, and the number of those miscellaneous beards is about twenty or thirty thousand. Of course, as Yu Furo thought, these soldiers and horses looked strong, but in reality they could only be bluffing.
The real main force was the 2,500 Han cavalry led by LΓΌ Bu, the 3,000 cavalry led by Yu Fuluo, and the 2,000 cavalry led by Nasu Buhu. In addition, there are also two or three thousand Wuhuan cavalry led by the Wuhuan tribes of this Shuofang. Together, these cavalry have tens of thousands of horsemen.
In this way, Lu Bu himself was a little secretly surprised! When these soldiers and horses are combined, there are tens of thousands of troops! There are so many cavalry alone. It's no wonder that the former Su You was able to have 30,000 horsemen, and if these soldiers and horses from the North were combined, there would still be quite a lot. This is also why the Eastern Han Dynasty heard about the rebellion in the north from time to time, and the number of rebels was tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. Presumably, the number of these rebels is to count those miscellaneous soldiers, and tens of thousands of people can be cobbled together from hundreds of large and small tribes in the northland, is this a thing?
On Shuofang City, Lu Bu looked at the soldiers and horses who came outside the city and showed a smile. It seems that he Lu Bu still has a bit of prestige, even if this time he used the name of the Great Han to recruit these soldiers and horses. But everyone understands that the prestige of today's Han has also declined to a certain extent. Even if Lu Bu was in the name of the Great Han, these Zhuhu tribes were able to come, and it was not because of Lu Bu's prestige.
Could someone else be able to gather these soldiers so easily? If it was really that easy, it wouldn't have allowed that Xianbei to invade year after year.
Li Ru walked from the side, "Lord, the two thousand Han cavalry and the three cavalry led by Yu Fuluo have also arrived. β
"Well, the soldiers and horses are almost there."
Lu Bu, who had been watching the city for a while, nodded slightly, and asked Li Ru again, "Haven't those Qiang people come yet?" β
"Not really."
Li Ru replied, "There are a lot of heroes and commanders of the Qiang people who are not the first to come to the shore, but they don't have many soldiers and horses, and all of them add up, and there are only one or two thousand scattered horses." β
"Is there a handsome man in Lingqiang first?"
Lu Bu continued to ask.
"Most of the heroes in the first Lingqiang did not come, but there were a few heroes who came, but like other Qiang species, they didn't bring many soldiers."
Li Ru said with some concern, "This Xianling Qiang King is still very prestigious among the Qiang people. Didn't the lord let that Su Buhu spread the news? After this Xian Lingqiang King found out, he also immediately gathered troops in Linrong City. Many Qiang people and handsomes in this Shuofang rushed to this Linrong City. β
"He wants me to know the ability of this Immortal Qiang King?"
Lu Bu sneered, "If there really aren't any Qiang people in this Shuofang who come to my Shuofang City, I really think that he, the Qiang King, is a little capable!" But now, it seems, that's just it. He couldn't manage it well in this first zero Qiang, let alone other Qiang species. The reason why those Qiang heroes went to Linrong City was because they didn't know what kind of character I Lu Bu was! β
Li Ru was slightly stunned, some of Lu Bu's words made him seem to think back to Dong Zhuolai, who was still in Xiliang in the past. Suddenly, Li Ru felt a little ridiculous at his own timid performance. What are those Qiang people in this Shuofang? With Lu Bu's current prestige, why should he still regard those Qiang people as great enemies! It's him Li Ru, after experiencing such a thing, this courage is getting smaller and smaller! Thinking that at the beginning, he followed Dong Zhuo into Luoyang, abolished the Son of Heaven, and commanded the world, what kind of courage should he be? If it was Li Ru at that time, he would never have admonished Lu Bu about this.
With a wry smile, Li Ru didn't have any worries, but just said to Lu Bu, "What does the lord want to do with this Xian Lingqiang King?" According to Confucianism, this Qiang King Ding Ling is also afraid now! The lord conscripted the Zhuhu tribe in the name of the Han in Shuofang City, and the responders were like clouds. Only he resisted the mandate of heaven first, and morally speaking, he lost money if he first made zero qiang. However, Na Ding Ling gathered the Qiang people in Linrong City, but there was no rebellion, just wait-and-see, which shows that Na Ding Ling did not have such a high prestige among the Qiang people, and could not persuade those Qiang people to rebel. Or, that Ding Ling still had a fluke, thinking that the lord saw that there were so many Qiang soldiers and horses in his Linrong city, so he didn't dare to attack him, and turned to compromise with him. β
"Exactly! This Ding Ling claims to be the first King of Lingqiang, and gathers a crowd to disobey the king's order, no matter from which aspect, if he is not killed, where will the prestige of the Han be placed? If you don't kill him, how can I, the Wenhou, convince those Qiang people! β
Lu Bu smiled lightly, turned his body around, and looked at Li Ru squarely, "As far as the current situation is concerned, if you want to kill this Xianlingqiang King, you only need to arrive at that Linrong City, capture him in public, count his crimes, and correct the law on the spot." β
Looking at Lu Bu, Li Ru didn't understand what Lu Bu meant for a while. At this time, the soldiers and horses under the city gradually gathered, tens of thousands of troops, that is not a small number, Lu Bu recruited them this time, not just to deter those Qiang people. Those Qiang people, if Lu Bu really wanted to subdue them, it would be effortless, and the reason why he made such a big deal was more about this humble matter.
In the sixth year of Xiping, the three-way army raised by the Han army to conquer Xianbei was full of casualties. In fact, not only the Han army, but also Zhuhu was seriously injured, that is, the Xiongnu Shan Yu died under serious injuries. Since then, Xianbei has invaded and plundered freely in this northern border, until the first year of Zhongping, after the death of Tanshi Huai, Xianbei fell into civil strife again, so that there was no threat of Xianbei in this northern border. Until now, there seem to be signs of invasion again.
Whether it is for the sake of the Tuntian plan, or the safety of the people of this Han land, or the only remaining majesty of the Han Dynasty. As the general of Zhenbei of the Han Dynasty, Lu Bu is reasonable and has to plan for a rainy day.
