Chapter 127: What is Wealth

Huainan straddles the Huaishui River and has always been a battleground for soldiers.

From ancient times to the present, there have been countless battles and battles.

Great Qin conquered Chu, and the Chu general Xiang Yan once resisted the Qin general Li Xin outside Shouchun City.

In this battle, Xiang Yan won a complete victory, more than half of the 200,000 Qin troops were lost, and the Mengjia cavalry of the Qin general Mengwu was almost wiped out!

The Battle of Shouchun was the last major defeat of the Qin army in the entire Warring States history, and it was also the only time that the Chu army won a complete victory in the battle with the Qin army in the troubled Warring States that spanned more than 250 years!

Although the Chu army was completely victorious, in the face of the powerful Qin state, it was finally defeated.

Since then, Shouchun, a city that has witnessed countless bloody rains, has fallen silent.

It was not until Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu An, the king of Huainan, compiled "Huainanzi" and established the 24 solar terms in Shouchun, that this city returned to the sight of the world.

Shouchun has a rich heritage, whether it is cultural or geographical environment, it is enough to support the rise of a powerful force.

Yuan Shu was entrenched in Huainan, and it was with the help of the unique conditions here and his life experience of the fourth and third dukes that he quickly became a dominant hero.

is out of the same class as Yuan Shao, but he doesn't have the vision and mind of Yuan Shao.

Hebei Yuan Shao is getting stronger day by day, but Yuan Shu has chosen a path of no return that will surely die at the instigation of Yang Hong and others!

The overall situation of the world is not clear, and the heroes from all walks of life attack each other, and he rashly proclaimed himself emperor, and became the target of public criticism overnight.

Lu Bu, who should have fallen in Baimen Tower, was only taken away by a soul who had crossed over from two thousand years later, not only tampered with his own fate, but even went to Huainan to kill Yuan Shu, who was not worthy of death, on the spot!

The wheels of history have changed direction, and some of the historical events that were once known will happen, and some will most likely never happen again!

The frequency with which a butterfly flapps its wings is different may also affect the advancement of the entire era.

Besides, he is a big living man standing here.

His fate has changed, and the fate of everyone in his time has also changed subtly.

The end of the Han Dynasty was different, and it was no longer possible to control the future situation based on what was learned in books alone.

The future is full of uncertainties, and Lu Bu knows very well that he can't rely on anyone in the future.

If he wants to live a long time and do earth-shattering things in this era, the only thing he can rely on is himself!

In front of the 30,000 Qingzhou troops and the 3,000 or 4,000 soldiers who had been following him, Lu Bu shouted that he could get benefits without occupying Huainan, which really made the soldiers scratch their heads.

Walking back and forth in front of the big array with his sword, Lu Bu shouted: "If we get Huainan, we will turn against the Cao family." With our current capabilities, it is impossible to compete with the tens of thousands of Tiger Guards of the Cao family! As I said just now, Huainan is already devastated. To seize there, we have to spend manpower and material resources, invest countless money, grain and grass, and have to go through an unknown number of spring and autumn seasons to restore Huainan to its former appearance. ”

"Do you think it's a good deal?" Lu Bu turned around abruptly and faced the black-pressed soldiers.

No one responded.

His analysis was reasonable, and the soldiers on the school field were dumbfounded.

The school ground, where tens of thousands of people were standing, was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

The scene was so quiet that it was embarrassing.

"No one refutes it, and it seems that you agree with it." Lu Bu then shouted: "Why did I agree to fight Huainan? Because I promised the Qingzhou Army, from the day I took over, those who have merit will be rewarded, those who are cowardly will be killed, and those who have done so will be punished! I want to use the shortest possible time to build you, the stragglers who don't love your grandmother and uncle, into a mighty warrior who can fight and win! ”

Lu Bu's words sounded particularly uplifting to the Qingzhou Army.

Many people involuntarily straightened their chests.

However, the scene was still breathtakingly quiet.

said a lot of morale-boosting words, but after thinking about it carefully, Lu Bu didn't even mention a word of importance.

He promised a reward for meritorious service.

But it matters what you get.

Xuzhou is now poor, and the pants have to be cut into two when they are torn, half of them are made of pants, and they are generally made of foot cloth.

They are almost poor and become the head of beggars, and the reward promised by Lu Bu is just the moon reflected in the water in the eyes of the soldiers.

Lu Bu saw the doubts in their hearts from the eyes of the soldiers in the front row.

The corners of his mouth tugged at a strange smile: "Are you thinking, Xuzhou is so poor, even if you make a war exploit, what will you use as a reward?" ”

Sure enough, when he mentioned the reward, the eyes of the soldiers suddenly lit up.

"I just talked about the disadvantages of capturing Huainan, and I didn't say the benefits of capturing Huainan." Lu Bu said: "Before talking about the benefits, let me ask you, once Huainan is broken, who will go first in the several cities there?" Who is there where the villages are unstoppable? ”

The soldiers looked at each other in astonishment.

Zhang Liao replied on the side: "Our army is the main attack, and the capture of Huainan is, of course, Wenhou's advanced city, and Wenhou's crisscrossing of villages in various places is unstoppable. ”

"That's right." Lu Bu smiled: "What is wealth?" Coins! Grain! All the possessions and treasures you can take with you! ”

His eyes swept over the faces of the soldiers in the front row, and Lu Bu said again: "Of course, there are also beautiful and gentle women!" ”

Lu Bu bluntly mentioned women, and the soldiers all smirked.

The awkward atmosphere on the school field was swept away with the laughter of the soldiers.

"I have already made the pros and cons very clear, what to do, you should know better than me." Lu Bu shouted: "Set off early tomorrow morning, and those who haven't sharpened their weapons will hurry back to sharpen them." If you haven't mended your armor, go back and repair it. On the battlefield, the only thing you can rely on is your companions! ”

"Scattered!" Lu Bu waved his hand.

"Wen Hou is mighty!" Before they dispersed, under the leadership of Zhang Liao, the soldiers shouted in bursts.

After the soldiers shouted, they dispersed.

Looking at the scattered soldiers, Zhang Liao whispered: "I still have the ability to wait for you, and I actually persuaded the soldiers in a few words!" ”

"No matter how high the morale is, it's useless to pull it out and not be able to fight." Lu Bu said: "Set off tomorrow, enter Huainan and take Zhongli successively, and then train there!" ”

"Training?" Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were both stunned.

Zhang Liao asked: "Wen Hou went to Huainan, don't you plan to attack Shouchun as soon as possible?" ”

"Break Shouchun as soon as possible?" Lu Bu asked, "What's the benefit?" ”

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were even more stunned.

I've never heard of a war before, and I've only heard that the defenders want to drag on as long as possible.

After all, it is not easy for the besieging side to allocate food and grass from elsewhere, and it is easy for soldiers to become tired and slack when camping outside the city.

After many years of marching, they had never seen an army like Lu Bu who was not in a hurry to attack, but had to garrison and train troops under the condition of capturing a city!
