Seeing this, Chen Gong's heart was cold, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Is it okay to be Fengxian?" ”

Lu Bu replied angrily: "I was hit by a few arrows, everything is fine." Can't die. ”

Chen Gong looked around blankly, and then asked, "What about Cheng Lian and General Song Xian?" ”

Lu Bu had a gloomy face and refused to answer.

Wei Xu couldn't help it, and scolded loudly: "Several Qingzhou soldiers are so vicious, after the lord rushed into the formation, we planned to rush out of the formation several times and answer the lord, but they were all blocked back, and when we were anxious, we saw the lord kill the horse out, and Cheng Lian and Song Xian generals have not entered the battle. ”

Chen Gong carefully inquired about the battle situation and sighed. No one dared to lightly attack the well-organized battle formation, but they were unharmed. This phenomenon generally exists only within it. Qingzhou soldiers are not peasant soldiers who are about to collapse at one touch, Qingzhou soldiers are Liu Bei's trump card, it takes three years to train other soldiers, these two cavalry teams, Liu Bei has trained for ten years, and their sense of honor and combat ** is not comparable to the guerrilla scattered bravery.

To deal with this kind of cavalry, it was necessary to take continuous force tests to find its weak points, attract its attention, disrupt its formation, and then use superior forces to directly attack the enemy's main general, so as to crush its will to resist. Lu Bu was not in front of the battle, looking for a favorable fighter, but he wanted to charge the battle in person, no wonder he was looked down upon by Tai Shici.

The wolf cavalry and the thunder cavalry are the elite of the elite, and it is expensive to equip such an army, and there are only two divisions of the wolf cavalry and the thunder cavalry, each with 2,000 people, but there are more than 5,000 logistics personnel. In this battle of Lu Bu, it can be said that 50,000 soldiers were defeated by 8,000 cavalry, and it is really sad that the world's number one military general could not support Liu Bei's army for half a day.

Lu Bu fondly stroked the red rabbit horse and said, "Thanks to this majestic horse, I was able to get out of the enemy formation." ”

Chen Gong and the generals changed their faces, and the enemy was in formation. What happened, they didn't know, Lu Bu rushed out of the enemy formation, did not praise Cheng Lian and Song Xian for him to drag the enemy soldiers to death, did not praise Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Hao Meng for rushing to meet him, but boasted about their war horses, so to put it mildly, the merits of the soldiers' bloody battles were all buried.

Looking around, Chen Gong diverted the topic, none. Nai said: "There is Liu Bei chasing troops in front, Cao Cao recaptured Puyang, and the back road of our army has been broken. My lord, please gather your troops as soon as possible and decide where our army is going. ”

Hao Meng urged the horse to approach Chen Gong and said in a low voice: "Chen Gong, I don't know what to do. He, after Liu Bei's victory, he did not chase and kill along the road, so that we had plenty of time to gather our troops. Chen Gong, do you know why? ”

Chen Gong ignored Lu Bu's unkind complexion and said unceremoniously: "I'm early. As I said, Liu Bei's army has no fighting spirit, if our army can't hold out, how can there be a loss of Puyang? How could there be a defeat today? ”

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong with a blank eye and asked, "Gongtai, now, since Liu Beijun is not too pressing, do we have time to re-plan and take Puyang again?" ”

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu, angry and funny. Lu Bu, who has a low eye. Like some CCTV choreographers, they always think that their talent can be better than that of the master Jin Yong, so they change the master's works as they like, but forget that if he is not filming the master's work, who will take a look at him as a small person. Lu Bu can have today, it all depends on Chen Gong's planning, but as long as things go well, Lu Bu thinks that his talent is better than Chen Gong, and changes Chen Gong's strategy at will, and when things don't go well, he is at a loss and relies on Chen Gong without any opinions.

"Now, the only way to gather people and horses is to Puyang South. Those counties that have taken refuge in us have not yet had time to change their courts, and we can accumulate strength there. Chen Gong said helplessly.

Lu Bu asked unwillingly: "Can you try to attack Puyang?" ”

Chen Gong kicked Lu Bu angrily: "If you want to attack Puyang, you must also attack from the south side of Puyang." At this moment, our army is in the middle of the attack of the two armies of Liu and Cao, Liu Bei did not have the heart to fight in the past, and now the two armies have fought each other, how do you know that he will not change his plan and kill them all? Cao Cao obtained Puyang without hard work, and we just retreated to the south to wait for the conflict between Liu and Cao. ”

Guanxian, after the big victory, the wolf rider and the thunder rider had no intention of continuing the pursuit. On the second day, when Lu Su's Third Army entered Guanxian, Gao Shun reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "Zijing, why did you come so slowly? ”

Lu Su hurriedly saluted and explained: "General Gao, the lord specially ordered that in order to test or tempt Cao Mengde, the time when the Third Army left Pingyin should be five days before Le Wenqian's (Le Jin)'s army could come out of the empty city, so that if something happened, General Le's army would be able to come to the rescue in time." We're here in a hurry, General, we're infantry......"

Gao Shun frowned slightly and said, "Is the fleet ready?" ”

Lu Su put his feet together, tapped the breastplate with his right hand, and replied, "The transport team is ready." ”

Gao Shun returned a military salute and said, "Winter is coming soon, please act as soon as possible." Execute according to the will of the lord. ”

Lu Su replied loudly: "Obey." ”

The 10,000 Qingzhou infantry and the 20,000 mobilized soldiers were scattered all over Guanxian County, and the soldiers politely knocked on the doors of the people of Guanxian County and asked from door to door: "Excuse me, have you ever heard of where Lu Bujun's family is?" …… I don't know, what our little soldier said, my lord doesn't believe it, please go to Qingzhou in person to explain ...... to my lord, if you don't go, my lord's guild will lose his temper at us, we are angry, and my temper is not good, you don't let me have a bad temper...... Dry food, don't bring it, we have prepared the dry food along the way, we won't go hungry for you...... The whole family goes, and the children don't pull it off...... I decided to go, okay, this is the duvet issued to you, one person and one bed, five catties of dry food, after eating, ask the Huotou Army, hurry up, hurry up, don't have to bring anything......"

All of a sudden, the chickens and dogs in Guanxian County jumped, and all the people were driven out, and they were grouped into neighborhood streets, and they were caught up in boats and carriages. There were not enough carriages and boats, and some people were escorted by the army to enter Mount Tai and enter the plain, and then the chariots and horses of the people in the two places were sent to Xihe and to the Liaohe Delta (now Changchun City) north of Changli County, Liaoxi.

The people sent to Xihe were told: "Your Excellency is busy with official business, and I don't know how long it will take for you to inquire about you." Each household is given a hundred acres of land, and while you are farming, you are waiting for the envoy, and the head of your family is the four great military divisions. They provide farm tools and houses, and next year they will grow and eat their own crops and eat, and they will not pay taxes. This year's relief will be delivered soon. In the following year, taxes will be paid to repay land premiums, houses, farm tools, etc. Farming is prohibited in the land along the West River, cutting down in the forest, and the rest of the terra nullius, whoever cultivates owns it, please report to the government in advance to divide the land boundary. ”

The people sent to the Liaohe Delta were told: "Your Excellency is busy with official business, and I don't know how long it will take for you to be inquired about." You stay here first, waiting for the envoy to inquire about it, you can't work hard in vain, this is the new Changchun County established by the envoy, and the lord will give you 200 acres of land for each household as compensation. Now there are more than 20 days left before winter, so I will give you knives and axes, and hurry up to cut down trees and build houses, and prepare for winter. Each household will be given a number of livestock, which will be your food for this winter, and when you build your house, take care to gather grass and prepare firewood. In the spring of next year, if Lord Jun doesn't ask you, you wait while planting, the land of Changchun County Xinshe has no owner, whoever has the ability to plant as much as he wants, then the land will belong to whom, after planting food, remember to go to the government to report the land. ”

Five days later, the thunder cavalry and the wolf cavalry emptied the people near Guanxian County, left this dead and silent place, and gradually advanced towards Puyang.

At the same time, the first batch of immigrants to arrive had already set off a frenzied wintering preparations in Xihe and Changchun counties. The power of man is infinite, and in the case of more than one gain, the immigrants, regardless of the old and the young, went into battle with their whole families, built their own houses and courtyards as quickly as possible, and collected all the firewood and grass they could find.

Ten days later, when the weather in the north gradually became colder, the government of the two places went door to door and advised the people to slaughter the livestock: "Don't be reluctant, these animals are all trophies, they are for you to eat, kill them quickly, survive this winter, and give you new livestock." What you have now is the weak animals that have been eliminated and cannot survive the winter, and the livestock that will be harvested in the spring next year will be used for farming. Hurry up and kill it......"

From being a "vegetable man" who was used as food to suddenly being able to enjoy large pieces of meat, the drastic changes in his life experience made the people of Guanxian County sigh. The resentment of leaving his hometown at the beginning disappeared, and the joy of newly acquired land filled his heart, and he ran to tell each other: "I heard that Qingzhou protects private property and land, have we also become Qingzhou people?" ”

Unconsciously, the newly moved people have called Liu Bei "lord".

Longkou Port, Hipparos is about to blow, Liu Bei stays in Longkou Port every day, watching the soldiers' drills.

On this day, Xun Yu was entrusted by Frustration to send a report to Liu Bei on the military situation, and asked casually: "Lord, winter is coming, such a large-scale migration of people, what if they are not prepared enough to survive this winter?" ”

Liu Bei smiled lightly and said, "Wen Ruo, have you noticed, the outbreak of infectious diseases will be reduced every winter." Nowadays, the plague is raging in the south, and if the people are moved in other seasons, it will be more than worth the loss if they bring typhoid fever.

In the two wars of Karasuma and the Xiongnu, our army captured a large number of livestock, but now, Qingzhou has overproduction, if these booty is allowed to hit the Qingzhou market, it will inevitably lead to the collapse of prices. If 200,000 people are moved in and these spoils are consumed, the interests of the Qingzhou merchants will not be lost, and we will be able to expand the cultivated land, so why not?

Xihe County belongs to the territory of the four military divisions, and there are too many foreign people, which is not conducive to stability, and 200,000 people have moved to Xihe 150,000, as the subjects of the four major military divisions, the proportion of Han residents has been increased, and the four major military divisions will share the resettlement costs for me. These four have been paid well over the years, and I just found an excuse to make them bleed. They paid for the spoils of war and distributed them to their subjects as wintering supplies, which was the responsibility of their lords.

The spoils obtained by the soldiers of the conquest have a good price, which will not chill the soldiers, and can inspire the ** of future conquests. In my lifetime, I hope to plant my Han military flag in the far north sea. The strong conquest of the fighters is the foundation of my goal to achieve this. ”

Xun Yu secretly disdained it in his heart, and after coming to Qingzhou for four years, he was most dissatisfied with Liu Bei's naked profit-seeking thoughts. Originally, after the locust plague, Yanzhou had no harvest, Liu Bei could explain his behavior as "for disaster relief", "for 200,000 people not to be eaten as food", "for benevolence", "for morality", ......, but Liu Bei said nakedly: It is to consume the remaining materials in Qingzhou, to expand the cultivated land, and to make the spoils of war a good price. This kind of blatant violation of the Confucian theory of "benevolence, righteousness and morality" and the moral purpose of "a gentleman does not speak of profit", Liu Bei shamelessly enjoyed himself, and even disdained to talk about "righteousness" and "morality......

"Everything in the world is people-oriented, the four major military divisions have obtained 150,000 subjects, and it is difficult for the land of Xihe to belong to Qingzhou unsafely. Cao Cao lost 200,000 people for food, and this winter must have been difficult for Cao Cao. The lord weakened Cao Cao's strength, but not in the name of "righteousness", isn't he afraid of the resentment of the Haineshi people? Following Liu Bei's gaze, Xun Yu looked at the fleet of flags outside the window, and asked: "The sage divides the world into nine suits (nine states of obedience), the Xiongnu belong to the military uniform, Karasuma belongs to obedience, the lord wants to go to the South Seas, its geography exceeds the Beijing division of more than 30,000 miles, and it has been out of the range of nine suits, what way does the lord plan to let Daqin obey the Han Dynasty?"

The land where the lord is currently based, more than 10,000 miles away from Guanghuan in the north, it takes three months to ride a fast horse, and the land of the four prefectures of Qinghai, Hebei, and You, plus Korea and Kyushu (the Japanese island of Kyushu occupied by Liu Hun) has only five million people, but the territory under our jurisdiction is equivalent to the territory of the Han Dynasty, which is especially sufficient? The land of the barbarians in the South Seas is occupied smoothly and immediately, and the lord can have the leisure of the people to migrate and develop?

Although the country is big, the belligerent will die, and the words of this saint are also expected to be thought twice. ”

Liu Bei looked out the window, the sails were spread, and he said softly: "I have calculated that it takes at least 100 acres of land to feed a person and make a person live comfortably. Nowadays, although disasters are disaster after disaster, but the population base of the people is huge, and the Central Plains is still too insufficient to meet the needs of 100 acres of land per capita, plus public green space, plus hills and rivers, so I must continue to find new territories and new land for the Chinese people. ”

Liu Bei withdrew his gaze from the window, stared at Xun Yu and said: "'Although the country is big, the warlike will die', Mrs. Gao (Cai Yan) also talked to me, and I replied to her: No empire can exist for a long time, and the word eternal belongs to the gods." Therefore, an empire, even if it is not warlike, it will die, but the fate of a manly man born in this world, when he immediately carries a sword and exalts the world, will eventually die, can never prevent me from planting the Han military flag all over the range of my eyes. ”

Liu Bei stood up and said in a loud throat: "I'm here!" I saw! I conquer! This is my mission to our nation. ”
