Chapter 113: The Qingzhou Army is not doing well

More than 100 Qingzhou soldiers surrounded Lu Bu and his guards and walked for more than two hours.

Until the sky was dark, Lu Bu saw a camp tent appear in front of him.

The officer pointed to the tent: "That's the barracks." ”

The number of tents is not very large, and with Lu Bu's experience, at most one or two thousand people can be stationed.

"How many people are there?" Lu Bu asked.

"Thirteen, four hundred." The officer replied.

Lu Bu probably understood.

The Qingzhou Army was indeed stationed in Mount Tai, but they were divided into many independent military camps and placed in different areas.

Divide and rule the Qingzhou army, even if they make trouble, it is impossible to poke out the big basket.

But in this way, the combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou Army will be greatly affected.

Over time, this army will become less and less cohesive, and eventually degenerate into a group of stubborn rebels.

"How long does it take to contact other barracks?" Walking towards the barracks, Lu Bu asked the officer.

"The whole Tarzan is everywhere." The officer thought for a moment: "It will take seven or eight days to say the least." ”

"Gather the other barracks to gather here, what do the people who sent out need to be on the basis of?"

"The general has a tiger talisman, go to one place and gather one place." The officer replied: "Gong Cao had given an order earlier that all units of the Qingzhou Army were not allowed to leave the garrison unless the tiger talisman was used. ”

Entrenched in Xuzhou for several years, Lu Bu knew for the first time that the situation of the Qingzhou Army was so bleak.

Obviously wearing armor and holding a sharp blade, he didn't have a chance to kill the enemy.

Even if you go into battle to kill the enemy, you will not be rewarded for your achievements.

He immediately understood.

Including Cao Cao, although the heroes everywhere recruited the remnants of the Yellow Turban, they never reused them.

Like Yang Feng and Han Xian, who were killed by Liu Bei earlier, they were able to gather a large army and play a certain role in the general trend of the world.

The difficulty of their survival is even far greater than that of Lu Bu at the beginning.

"Where is your family?" Lu Bu suddenly asked the officer: "I heard that when Cao Gong reorganized the Qingzhou Army, there were 300,000 people. ”

"The old, the weak, the women and the children are now farming at home." The officer replied: "The Qingzhou Army now grows its own grain and eats it, and weaves its own cloth and wears it by itself. If you want weapons, you don't have weapons, you want money, you don't have money. If it weren't for the sake of grabbing some good things, who would have run to the place where the general was camping in the middle of the night. ”

"General Xiahou never cares about you?" Lu Bu asked again.

Speaking of Xiahoudun, the officer lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word.

Nominally, Xiahoudun was their main general, but he never fought for their interests.

Even though many soldiers made great contributions back then, he never said a single good word for the soldiers.

The officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army were extremely disappointed in Xiahoudun, but no one dared to say it.

"Just say what you want." The officer didn't dare to say anything, and Lu Bu said: "I have only just joined Cao Gong not long ago, and I heard that the Qingzhou Army is idle all year round, so I specially asked General Xiahou for a military talisman to take over the soldiers. ”

"The general is asking for a talisman on purpose?" The officer was surprised and couldn't help blurting out a question.

"If I don't ask him for it, will he send it again?" Lu Bu asked, "Tell me the truth, is the Qingzhou army willing to fight?" ”

"Who would want to fight." The officer shook his head: "There is no reward at all for making war achievements, and if you are injured on the battlefield, you will only be sent home to raise." If it weren't for the acres of land in Mount Tai, I don't know how many people would have starved to death. ”

"It won't be like that again." Lu Bu said: "No matter who makes war exploits, I will ask Cao Gong for a reward." If Cao Gong doesn't give ......"

He said three words in an accentuated tone: "I'll give it!" ”

Lu Bu's reputation is not small, but the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army have not seen him.

When he reported his home, the officer was still puzzled.

How can a fierce general who has been famous for many years look only seventeen or eighteen years old?

"Actually, we have long heard of the general's prestige,......" said the officer, hesitantly, "there is a sentence I don't know whether to ask or not......

"Do you want to ask me why I look like a teenager after being famous for many years?" Without waiting for him to ask, Lu Bu asked for him first.

"It turns out that the general knows what I want to ask......" The officer was very embarrassed.

"If I said that the heavens blessed me and brought me back to my youth, would you believe it?" Lu Bu asked.

"Is there such a thing in the world?" The officer obviously didn't believe it, and didn't dare to say it directly.

"Absolutely." Accompanied by the officer, while walking to the barracks, Lu Bu said: "Strange things happened to me. Actually, there is one more strange thing. ”

Looking at Lu Bu in astonishment, the officer didn't ask anything.

He knew very well that since Lu Bu opened his mouth, he would tell the matter even if he didn't ask.

"Before you surrounded the tent, I was awakened by a voice." Lu Bu asked, "To tell you the truth, if I don't wake up, what are you going to do?" ”

The officer's expression showed trepidation: "We originally wanted to ......"

"Needless to say!" Lu Bu interrupted him: "I understand. ”

From the officer's answer, he was even more sure that the sound in his sleep was meant to wake him up.

If he hadn't woken up, I'm afraid he wouldn't have had a chance to come here.

Before they could reach the barracks, the officer sent two soldiers back to inform the soldiers in the camp that the new lord was coming.

The two Qingzhou soldiers ran quickly towards the barracks.

When Lu Bu and the others arrived, the soldiers in the camp had already lined up and waited.

Having not experienced combat for many years and lacking training, the ranks of the Qingzhou Army were very scattered.

Some people were obviously wearing armor in a panic, and the protective leather armor was wrinkled and not majestic at all.

Lu Bu took out the tiger talisman and shook it at the Qingzhou army in line: "You all heard just now, I am the new chief general who took over the Qingzhou army. Name me, you should be familiar with it! ”

Raising his voice, he shouted: "I am Jiuyuan Lu Bu, Lu Wenhou, who has been entangled with Cao Gong for several months in Xiapi!" ”

It is not an exaggeration to describe Lu Bu as a household name.

The officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army present all looked at him in astonishment.

No one believed that the young general standing in front of them was really Lu Wenhou!

At that time, Dong Zhuo was in control of the government, and he was suffering from Ding Yuan's opposition, so he sent Zhonglang General Li Su to use the red rabbit horse as bait to oppose Lu Bu.

Lu Bu, who has followed Ding Yuan for many years and recognized him as his father-in-law, but has never been reused, has long had the intention to choose another master.

Dong Zhuo treated him politely and gave him a good horse, how could Lu Bu, who had been depressed, hesitate.

For the sake of his future, he had no time to distinguish whether Dong Zhuo was loyal or traitorous, not only killed Ding Yuan, but even recognized Dong Zhuo as his father-in-law.

Although authoritarian and domineering, Dong Zhuo is really good to Lu Bu.

It was also from that time that Lu Bu gradually became well-known to the world.

From Qingzhou Jun's stunned gaze, Lu Bu could see that they didn't believe it: "I know what you are wondering about, and I will explain it to you, I don't want to say the same thing over and over again." After I give the answer, you should know how to tell the other Qingzhou Army! ”
