Chapter 259: It's time to go back to Xuzhou

Lu Bu's statement made Sun Ce feel confused.

He looked at Lu Bu in astonishment, not knowing what to say.

"To conquer the world, you can't just let the soldiers risk their lives to charge?" Lu Bu said to him: "You and I are both leaders of the army, and we also know what is most important to us. After a war, one more soldier survives, and there will be one more person to help us fight in the north and south in the future! ”

"That's what Wen Hou said!" Sun Ce agreed.

"How are the surrendered Jiangdong Army settled?" Lu Bu asked Pang Tong again.

Pang Tong replied: "The surrendered Jiangdong Army has nearly 30,000 people, and some of them are old and weak, all of whom have been sent home and assigned land and homes. After so many years of fighting, it is time for them to be stable for a few years. As for the strong, all of them remained in the army and were chosen by the generals. ”

"How do the officers of the past settle down?" There are still many details to pay attention to in the integration of the Jiangdong Army.

"All officers remain in their positions, but no soldiers will be assigned for the time being." Pang Tong replied: "Wait until they make military achievements in the future, and then decide whether to continue to appoint." If they fail to make meritorious service for a long time, they will be removed from the status of officers. I'm going to tell on the battlefield which ones are officers who do what they do, and those who go there on the fly. If you take it all out at once, it will not be fair to those who go up by ability. ”

"Bo Fu thinks it's appropriate to settle down like this?" Lu Bu looked at Sun Ce.

"Wen Hou thinks it's suitable, that's suitable." The soldiers under his command have all been argued, what else can Sun Ce say?

He could only conform to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu nodded: "Since Bo Fu has no objections, then do it like this." ”

After walking around Wancheng, I found that there were not many people on the streets, but Lu Bu said to Pang Tong: "The people in the city still seem to be uneasy. Let them know that Wancheng now belongs to me, and they are also the people under my rule. As long as you live a good life and don't make any trouble for me, I can guarantee that they will live safely. Nor will anyone come to them for trouble. ”

"I'll do it all when I go back!" Pang Tong was full of promises.

Back at the Wancheng Mansion, Lu Bu took Pang Tong into the room, while Sun Ce stood guard outside the door with several guards.

The guards were all veterans around Lu Bu, and they were still a little wary of Sun Ce.

knew very well that his identity was embarrassing, and Sun Ce deliberately stayed away from the guards.

Entering the room, Lu Bu asked Pang Tong: "What does Shiyuan think of Sun Bofu?" ”

"There is more than bravery, but not enough loyalty." Pang Tong said: "Sun Bofu was once the lord of Jiangdong, and if he really wants to follow Wen Hou, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." ”

"I didn't expect him to follow me now." Lu Bu said: "A character like Sun Bofu must let him know that I am an existence that he can't compete with. If he wants to survive in the troubled times, he can only live longer by clinging to me. Otherwise, he may start a rebellion at any time and give me a fatal blow! ”

"Since Wen Hou knows, why do you still use him?" Pang Tong said puzzledly: "Wouldn't it be clean and neat to kill him?" ”

"What's in it for me to kill Sun Bofu?" Lu Bu asked Pang Tongyi.

"As long as Sun Bofu is dead, no one in Jiangdong will dare to be an enemy of Wen Hou, isn't it a benefit?" Pang Tong asked in surprise.

"Of course it's not a benefit." Lu Bu said: "I don't kill Sun Bofu, not only because he is a capable person. More importantly, I have to let the world know that I have the capacity to accommodate people. Otherwise, who will serve me in the future? ”

"That's what Wen Hou said. It's what I thought. Pang Tong responded.

"You did all the things you arranged on the street earlier." Lu Bu said to Pang Tong: "The surrendered Jiangdong Army officers and soldiers are easy to settle down, as long as they know that following me is more leisurely than following Sun Bofu, most of them will die to me." The real trouble is those who have been reused by Sun Bofu. Many of them have followed Sun Bofu from birth to death, and it is difficult to make them die like the sky! ”

"Even so, Wen Hou still plans to let Sun Bofu know about the Air Force?" Pang Tong asked in surprise.

"What's that?" Lu Bu smiled: "The Air Force is just flying in the sky, I can let him know about the Air Force, and if he really betrays me in the future, he can even let him have the Air Force." Because in this world, only I know how to take down the air force flying in the sky! ”

When Lu Bu said this, Pang Tong had no doubts.

At the beginning, he never thought that people could still fly in the sky!

It was Lu Bu who showed him the way to send people to the sky to fly freely.

can make people go to heaven, of course Lu Bu has a way to get people down again.

"Anhui City has been breached, Jiangdong has also fallen under my name, we should go back to Xuzhou." Walking to the window, Lu Bu looked at Sun Ce, who was standing outside a long distance from the door: "Although Cao Mengde has been holding back me, I feel that he will not let me continue to grow so easily." Maybe the Yuan Cao family hasn't started a war yet, and I'll be in trouble first. ”

"That's what Wen Hou said." Pang Tong replied: "Actually, I think so too. Since the First World War in Xiapi, Wenhou has grown too fast, and neither the Cao family nor the Yuan family will hope that a powerful Wenhou will appear in Xuzhou. ”

"What do you mean......" Lu Bu looked back at Pang Tong.

"Wen Hou should return to Xuzhou as soon as possible." Pang Tong said: "Whether they make a move or not, they have to plan early."

"Someone!" Lu Bu shouted.

Sun Ce, who was guarding the door, glanced back.

He saw one of the guards turn and enter the house, and he didn't move.

After the guards entered the house, Lu Bu ordered: "Send an order down immediately, let the soldiers prepare early, and return to Pengcheng in two days." ”

Sun Ce, who was standing outside, didn't hear what order Lu Bu had given.

When the guards came out, he greeted him and asked, "What order did Marquis Wen order?" ”

Glancing at Sun Ce, Wei Shili ignored him and left directly.

The little guard didn't dare to look at him in his eyes, and Sun Ce was suddenly a little annoyed.

However, after thinking about it, he is now Lu Bu's personal general.

The so-called personal general is just a higher-level guard, not to mention that the guards have not yet recognized him, so it is not surprising that they ignore him.

After being taken aback, Sun Ce stood there and watched the back of the guard.

He was wondering what Lu Bu would order, and Lu Bu, who came out of the room, gave him the answer: "Bo Fu also prepare, we will return to Pengcheng in two days." ”

The name has been obtained from Jiangdong, and Lu Bu also plans to move the entire Jiangdong Sun family to Xuzhou.

It stands to reason that he should go to Jiangdong to keep an eye on these things, at least he should stay in Wancheng and wait for news.
