Chapter 63 Don't mess with the big picture for small profits
The Eastern and Western Han Dynasty conscription was based on a conscription system.
However, the Western Han Dynasty conscription system was very different from that of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In the Western Han Dynasty, the recruitment of soldiers paid attention to the quality of soldiers, and they were not physically strong enough to be qualified to join the army.
Once in the military, a soldier becomes a professional soldier and is paid a monthly salary.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, from the recruitment of soldiers by Emperor Guangwu, the standard for recruiting soldiers was lowered in order to increase the number of soldiers.
Many convicts and laymen were also able to enter the army.
Due to the increase in the number of soldiers, the salaries paid by the imperial court to the soldiers were several times less than those of the Western Han Dynasty.
With a meager salary, not only can he not support his family, but even his own expenses are a problem.
Therefore, whenever the court goes into battle, even if it does not condone the looting of the soldiers, it will turn a blind eye and refuse to restrain it.
Letting the soldiers spend their money before the war is also one of the ways to improve their combat effectiveness in battle.
In the context of the recruitment of troops in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Mi Fang's statement is also reasonable.
Lu Bu pinched his chin and twisted his eyebrows in thought.
Mi Fang stood in front of him and didn't dare to speak.
From the confused expression on his face, Mi Zhu could tell that he was struggling fiercely inside.
Xiapi was short of money, and more than 5,000 soldiers entered the city, and as long as they were stationed for three days, they could bring a lot of money.
Sure enough, after a while, Lu Bu raised his head: "Tell Liu Xuande that it's okay for the army to enter the city, and let him restrain the soldiers and horses." If he gets into trouble here, I'm not going to make him feel better. โ
Mi Fang breathed a sigh of relief, bowed down and said, "I will definitely convey Wen Hou's meaning to Uncle Huang." โ
"Someone." Lu Bu instructed the guards outside the gate: "General Mi will go to see his brother and send the two out of the city." โ
When the guards entered the house, Mi Fang asked Lu Bu, "Dare to ask Wen Hou, when can Uncle Huang enter the city?" โ
"It's a little late today." Lu Bu said: "Ask him to lead the troops into the city early tomorrow morning." โ
"Thank you for being able to wait for it." Mi Fang thanked and retired.
Mi Zhu was detained in the city, but he didn't suffer much in the past few days.
Living in the government, he was taken care of every day for food and housing, but he gained some weight in a few days.
After waiting for a while near the city gate, Mi Fang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Mi Zhu.
"Brother is so good-looking." He arched his hand and said, "I'm worried about death these days." โ
"Although Lu Bu detained me here, he didn't let me suffer much." Mi Zhu replied: "Eat and sleep well every day, and the days are comfortable." โ
"My brother has a comfortable life, and the five thousand copper coins are gone." Mi Fang smiled: "But my brother is fine, please go out of the city with me." โ
The brothers walked out of Xiapi under the escort of a team of Xuzhou troops.
Sending them outside the city gate, the Xuzhou army turned around and went back.
Looking at the slowly closing city gate, Mi Fang thought about Mi Zhu and asked, "Brother came to Xiapi, did you see Lu Bu?" โ
"Nope." Mi Zhu said: "I only saw the young general who went to Xudu, and he said that he was Lu Bu, I didn't believe it. Although his appearance is not bad, how old is Lu Bu now? How old is he now? โ
"He said the same thing to me." Mi Fang said: "I don't believe that he is Lu Bu either. โ
"It should be that Lu Bu doesn't want to see us, or is there some other reason for him to find such a replacement." Mi Zhu shook his head: "Lu Bu is also very stupid, looking for someone to replace him, I don't know how to find someone of the same age, and find out what this young man looks like." โ
"If he wasn't stupid, how could he have caused so much trouble in the first place?" Mi Fang said with a smile: "In addition to putting back my brother, he also promised to invite the imperial uncle into the city early tomorrow morning." โ
"Did he really say yes?" Mi Zhu's eyes lit up.
"I really agreed." Mi Fang first recounted the process of his persuasion of Lu Bu, and then said: "For the sake of petty profits, he is actually willing to let the imperial uncle enter the city, which is also extremely stupid. โ
"Since he seeks death, Uncle Huang will definitely be fulfilled." Mi Zhu said with a smile: "As long as you occupy Xiapi, in addition to Chen Deng and others, there is still some trouble, and there are no other opponents in Xuzhou, and Uncle Huang will have the foundation to settle down." โ
"That's what I said." In addition to being overjoyed, Mi Fang said: "Let's go back quickly and tell Uncle Huang the news." โ
The brothers returned to the barracks and relayed the news to Liu Bei that Lรผ Bu had allowed the army to enter the city.
Of course, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and immediately ordered all the soldiers to prepare and seize Xiapi as soon as the whole army entered the city.
Liu Beijun outside the city was secretly preparing for war, and Lu Bu was not idle.
After Mi Zhu and Mi Fang left, he came to the barracks.
The soldiers who received the order gathered in the school field, and all eyes looked at Lu Bu, who was standing facing the array.
Thousands of people didn't even cough.
The sky above the school field was filled with the atmosphere of slaughter before the battle.
"Just now I promised Liu Bei to let him enter the city early tomorrow morning." As soon as Lu Bu spoke, the soldiers' faces showed confusion.
Liu Bei was stationed outside the city for several days, but the city gate was never opened to them.
Lu Bu suddenly allowed him to enter the city, and of course the soldiers would not know why.
"I told you earlier what Liu Bei wanted to do when he entered the city." Lu Bu then shouted, "There must be many of you who are confused, since you know what he is here to do. How could I still agree to let him enter the city with a large army? โ
He spoke out the doubts in the hearts of the soldiers, and everyone present held their breath, waiting for what he was going to say later.
"Liu Bei wants to take Xiapi away from us, of course I won't agree." Lu Bu sneered and said, "The reason he gave me was that it would cost a lot of copper money to enter the city with his soldiers and horses. I thought I wouldn't be able to see the big picture for the sake of these petty profits. โ
"But he was wrong!" His eyes wandered in front of the array, and Lu Bu raised his voice: "I let them into the city to destroy them." They carry copper coins, and we don't need them to spend them, just grab them. If there is a chance to rob them, what else do we do with them? โ
Knowing what Lu Bu meant, there was a burst of laughter on the school field that was not very loud.
"You'll have to be in place tonight, and tomorrow there's going to be a one-sided fight." Lu Bu shouted: "If they dare to enter the city, we will let them not get out even one alive!" โ
The soldiers on the school field did not shout, but all straightened their chests and prepared to go into battle.
Instructed Zhang Liao and the others to arrange their own men and horses to ambush in the city, and Lu Bu left the barracks with Chen Gong and Yan Xiang.
Out of the barracks, Lu Bu took the two of them back to the state governor's mansion.
Take a seat in your order.
Chen Gong said: "Wen Hou ambushes Liu Bei early tomorrow morning, and he will definitely be able to win a big victory." After defeating Liu Bei, what is Wen Hou's plan? โ
"Xuzhou Mi family, you should know where it is." Lu Bu said: "The five thousand hanging money sent by Mi Fang were all taken from there, which shows that the Mi family still has a lot of wealth. โ
"Wen Hou means......" Chen Gong already understood what Lu Bu was going to do.
"The Mi family is not the one who follows me, they still have a family business in Xuzhou, I copied their home, no one should be able to say anything." Lu Bu smiled: "I was worried about running out of money, but someone actually sent a cornucopia." โ
