Chapter 110: A block in the middle
Lu Bu's last sentence was undoubtedly threatening the prisoners of war present.
By following him, you can fight for your dreams, and even your family can be properly arranged.
If he chooses to leave, he will not stop it, but it will not matter to him from now on.
How can there be eggs in troubled times?
Lu Bu said that those who are willing to serve him will bring all their family members.
Listening to what he meant, he didn't plan to stay in Qingzhou at all.
Once he leaves, someone else will come.
Prisoners of war who choose to return home may not live a few days in peace, and will be captured by the people who took over the area.
"If you are willing to come with me, go to the master book and register where there are several people in the house." Lu Bu shouted: "I will arrange for someone to bring your family here and return to Xuzhou with me." β
LΓΌ Bu's statement confirmed the speculation of the prisoners of war.
Immediately, many people expressed their willingness to do so.
Some people took the lead, and those who were still hesitant followed suit.
The scene where the prisoners of war took the initiative to take the oath to surrender, Zang Ba and Sun Guan saw it for the first time.
The two looked at the prisoners of war who were scrambling to surrender in astonishment, and Lu Bu beckoned them: "Two generals, please come with me." β
Zang Ba and Sun Guan followed him to the side.
Lu Bu asked, "Which of the two is willing to stay here?" Who wants to go to Xuzhou with me? β
"Wen Hou doesn't plan to take us all to Xuzhou?" The two of them were confused, and Sun Guan asked.
"With so many prisoners of war, someone has to stay and practice." Lu Bu said: "Now to bring them to the battlefield, it is just a rabble, with a large number of people but not much combat effectiveness. What I want is elite soldiers, and only enough elite soldiers can gain a foothold in troubled times. β
"It is difficult for me to train these soldiers and horses by one person." Zang Ba said: "After all, they have 20,000 ......"
"It's really hard to be alone." Sun Guan pinched his chin and nodded thoughtfully.
"I don't have that ability anyway." Sun Guan was also in trouble, and Zang Ba hurriedly said: "It's okay to let me fight, let me bring these people...... Tsk......"
He smacked his lips twice.
"Then General Sun stays here." Lu Bu immediately made a decision: "I will send Gao Shun later, he is good at training, and you two will train these people for me together." β
"Wen Hou didn't plan to bring them back to Xuzhou? and gather all their families here. Sun Guan asked, "Is it difficult to ......?"
"Xuzhou has been in war for many years, and the population has shrunk seriously." Lu Bu said: "If you go back with 20,000 strong people, it is easy to get into trouble. Most of their families are old and weak, women and children, and no one will pay attention to how many they bring back. β
Only then did the two understand that Lu Bu had never thought of bringing back the 20,000 prisoners of war, but just wanted to take their families.
The family went to Xuzhou, and the prisoners of war who had just surrendered remained here, and even if they were active, they did not dare to make any abnormal moves.
Before he could train these people, Lu Bu had already cut off their back road.
Zang Ba and Sun Guan sincerely admired him.
In the next few days, Lu Bu waited in Qingzhou for the families of the new soldiers.
Xiahoudun, who lived in Xiapi, hadn't seen him for several days, and he was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
Back then, Cao Cao allowed the Qingzhou Army and left this mess to him.
The Qingzhou military bandits who were born as yellow turban thieves did not change their temperament and often caused some trouble.
The most terrible thing is that they actually took advantage of Cao Cao's defeat in Wancheng to loot everywhere, provoking Yu Ban to send troops to fight in front of Cao Cao.
Xiahoudun was shocked into a cold sweat at that time.
Fortunately, Cao Cao was open-minded and did not hold the Qingzhou Army responsible.
However, from that time on, the Qingzhou Army became a hot potato in the hands of Xiahoudun.
It's useless to keep them, and to give them to Lu Bu, there are more than 30,000 people......
When Lu Bu proposed to borrow the Qingzhou army from him, Xiahoudun was very difficult.
After pondering for several days, he finally came up with a solution.
The Qingzhou army can be handed over to Lu Bu for deployment, and all orders must be given from him.
There is a gap in the middle, even if Lu Bu wants to play tricks, he will not have a chance.
When he had a plan to go to find Lu Bu, he got a reply that Lu Bu went to Qingzhou.
After waiting for several more days, seeing that the day of returning to Xu Du was getting closer and closer, Xiahoudun couldn't sit still.
He had long found out that Lu Bu was not there, and the affairs of Xuzhou were all handed over to Chen Gong and Yan Xiang to take care of, among which Chen Gong was the main one, so he decided to talk to Chen Gong first and implement this matter about the Qingzhou Army.
When Xiahoudun came to the official mansion, Chen Gong was approving the documents sent from all over the country.
Since LΓΌ Bu broke through Guangling and killed Chen Deng's father and son, Liu Bei also fled to Hebei, and all parts of Xuzhou have sworn allegiance.
In order to exterminate the Yellow Turbans, Emperor Ling issued an edict to allow the recruitment of rebels in various places, so that each county had soldiers and horses belonging to the local area.
Although all localities swore allegiance, Lu Bu did not yet have the ability to integrate the army and reduce the troops and horses in various places.
Chen Gong's reply was nothing more than documents related to government affairs sent from various places.
Outside the door, there was a guard who said: "Qi Chen Gong, General Xiahou asks to see you." β
Since Lu Bu left, Chen Gong sent people to monitor Xiahoudun.
His every move is under control.
He had long expected that Xiahou would come, so he put the official document aside: "Please General Xiahou come into the house to meet." β
At the same time as the order was given, he also stood up.
Xiahoudun walked in and greeted Chen Gong: "I've seen Gongtai!" β
"General Xiahou!" Chen Gong stepped forward: "Why does the general have time to come to me?" β
"It's not because I can't see Feng Xian." Xiahou sighed with annoyance: "I discussed with him before, crusading against Huainan and lending him the Qingzhou Army, but I didn't make a decision that day, but I won't see him anymore." β
"Wen Hou went to Qingzhou, saying that he was looking for Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others." Inviting Xiahoudun to sit down, Chen Gong said: "Although Yuan Shu is dead, Huainan is still a hundred-legged insect that is dead but not stiff. Cao Gong ordered Wen Hou to attack Huainan, and Xuzhou had insufficient soldiers and horses, and he was also very embarrassed. β
"Qingzhou Jun gave it to him, isn't it difficult?" Xiahoudun said: "I have an idea, crusade against Huainan, and I will give me a military order first, and then I will convey it to the Qingzhou army." In this way, Cao Gong will not blame me, and I can also help Feng Xian. β
"The general's kindness will surely move Wen Hou." Chen Gong shook his head with a smile: "It's a pity that in this way, there is no chance of winning the crusade against Huainan." β
"30,000 Qingzhou troops, even if it is 30,000 pigs, Gong will also kill 10,000 or 20,000 Huainan troops." Xiahou was puzzled: "How can the public station say that there is no chance of winning?" β
"The general has led the troops for many years, and he should know that the battlefield is changing rapidly. The more direct the military order, the better the chance of victory. Chen Gong replied: "Since the Qingzhou army is handed over to Wen Hou, the general still has to intercept one from it, so that it is difficult for the military order to go up and down, how can the battle be fought?" β
