Chapter 53: Tuntian

Jian'an four years, for the whole world, by no means a good year, whether the Central Plains or the northwest, the Central Plains war clouds are dense, although the war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is not in full swing, but the two sides have entered a state of war readiness, the war is about to break out, the war together, it will be a scene of misery. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The war in Xiliang with Lu Bu broke the Hun court of the war report to the Central Plains, but caused some turmoil, many people for Lu Bu in that situation also dared to ride lightly, directly hit the Hun court, forced the Huns to withdraw from the battlefield, and then showed the ruthlessness, the Huns have the most vitality to fight the vanished, the Central Plains area is mixed, many celebrities feel that Lu Bu killed too much, will be punished in the future, but in the north, especially close to the Xiongnu Youzhou, Bingzhou, Xiliang and Jizhou let many people applaud.

Not in the north, I don't know Hu trouble, especially in recent years, with the decline of the Han Dynasty, the Huns have gradually grown, and the Huns have become more and more arrogant when they go south to plunder every year.

Even the attitudes shown by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao towards Lu Bu's move were surprisingly unanimous for the first time after the deterioration of relations between the two sides.

At least Lu Bu has whitewashed himself in this campaign against the Huns, and as for the Central Plains, Lu Bu's reputation is still rotten.

In the south, with the accidental assassination of Sun Ce, Sun Quan took over Jiangdong, and Liu Biao also tried to take the opportunity to occupy Jiangdong, but Cai Mao's army was blocked by Zhou Yu in the area of Chaisang, and several attacks ended in failure, and finally had to retreat to Jiangxia.

The contradictions between Sun and Liu have been planted since Sun Jian, although they failed to take the opportunity to attack Jiangdong, but the small battle between the two sides has never been broken.

Xudu, Caofu.

"Gongda, I am willing to lose the bet, how about I move to your side today?" Guo Jiahe looked at Xun You with a smile.

"You~" Xun You shook his head helplessly, for Guo Jia, he was completely out of temper, turned his head to look at Cao Cao and said: "Lord, after this battle, Lu Bu has incorporated Han Sui and burned his subordinates, and there are more than 100,000 combatants under his command, so you must guard against it." ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Now there is no food and grass to support our two-front battle, even if it is appeased, now Gu Ke has nothing to give him." ”

Lu Bu is now a county marquis, and he is married to the princess of the Han Dynasty, he is a relative of the emperor, and his official residence is the best, Cao Cao can't think of anything else to give him? Send it again, just pack yourself up and send it over, and let Lu Bu go and meet Yuan Shao.

Guo Jia leaned on the brocade mat, narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled: "Lu Bu is now on grain and grass, I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain an army of 100,000, right?" ”

"What do you mean by filial piety?" Cheng Yu looked at Guo Jia and frowned: "Feng Xiao is saying that Lu Bu will be dormant?" ”

nodded: "100,000 male soldiers, it sounds majestic, but there are burning dang and Han Sui surrendering troops inside, Lu Bu himself is only a very small number of soldiers and horses, although he defeated Han Sui, but the entire Xiliang plus Yongzhou, now can not support the use of this 100,000 army, if Lu Bu is smart, at this time should not think about how to meddle in the world, but to sort out himself." ”

"Fengxiao, why are you so sure that Lu Bu will win?" Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia, a little puzzled, after all, Lu Bu is for them, once in Puyang, once in Xuzhou, Xun Yu asked himself if he had figured out this person, it stands to reason that Lu Buyong is brave, and it cannot be said that he is unscrupulous, but his character shortcomings can never be easily made up, but Lu Bu's wonderful performance in Xiliang completely subverted their past impressions, and among everyone, only Guo Jia always came to a conclusion that contradicted everyone. But in the end, the facts always prove that his seemingly absurd remarks can often hit the nail on the head.

"Intuition." Guo Jia smiled and said casually.

When everyone heard this, their faces were suddenly full of black lines, what kind of bullshit reason is this.

Cao Cao's think tanks gathered together, and Lu Bu's matter was naturally regarded as a digression, and after determining that the probability that Lu Bu would affect this battle was not large, he shifted the focus of the topic to how to seize the lead in the next duel with Yuan Shao.

……

How Cao Cao, who was thousands of miles away, talked about himself, Lu Bu naturally didn't know, let alone be bored enough to care about this kind of thing, after arriving in Guzang with Ma Chao, Lu Bu directly asked people to tell Xiang Yao to do it, either fight or surrender, and watch it.

The words will naturally be tactful, but the core meaning is actually like this, Han Sui left him a dilapidated Liangzhou, and now the situation in Xiliang is that there are more soldiers than people!

The slaughter of the Huns, coupled with the previous series of battles, Xiliang was really cold, in this case, Lu Bu really didn't have the heart to fight with Burndang, and this group must not let him wander outside of Lu Bu's rule, the existence of such a Qiang army is completely contrary to Lu Bu's plan to naturalize the Qiang people next.

Similarly, if you can subdue the burning Qiang and become the first batch of naturalized Qiang people like Baishui Qiang and Poqiang, it will be of great significance to promote the integration of Qiang and Han.

At the same time as giving the order, Lu Bu ordered Gao Shun and Pang De to each lead their troops to force the burner, and made a posture of starting if they disagreed.

Zhang Liao incorporated Han Sui's troops, and Lu Bu came with the momentum of breaking the Xiongnu, facing the fierce eyes of the Han army, and in the end, the heroes of Dangqiang chose to compromise and brought their respective subordinates under the command of Lu Bu, and Lu Bu sent them.

"Lord, all these soldiers and horses should be cut?" In the Taishou Mansion, Lu Bu discussed with a group of generals the ownership of the Xiliang Army, when he learned that Lu Bu was going to disband most of the troops, many generals raised objections, now Lu Bu has 100,000 male soldiers, looking at the world, it is also a number of princes all the way, why do you want to cut off your arms and delete 100,000 male soldiers?

The most fierce is naturally the former Qiang marshals, and now they have become the marshals of the generals under Lu Bu, including the marshals of Baishuiqiang, who are very resistant to Lu Bu's decision, after all, in their concepts, this is related to their status in the army, how can they not be cut off like that, right?

In this battle of Xiliang, the losses were basically the surrender of the Xiliang army, and the men and horses brought out by Lu Bu from Bai Shuiqiang and the men and horses of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun did not lose much.

Han Sui's troops, plus the people who burned and blocked the Qiang, added up to 100,000 people, such a group of soldiers and horses is enough to deter any prince in the world, but Lu Bu now lets these soldiers and horses, including the Qiang soldiers, go to farming, which is somewhat unacceptable.

"This is the total amount of grain and grass that has been counted back by the counties of Xiliang." Lu Bu put a piece of bamboo paper on the table, looked at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "Jincheng and Longxi have the most grain reserves, to appease the families of the casualties, but also to support the 100,000 army, if you really do this, within March, the entire Xiliang and even Sanfu land, there will be no food available." ”

"Let these soldiers and horses go to the tuntian, you can follow Cao Cao's tuntian policy, work in the field when the farm is busy, and organize training when the farm is slack." Lu Bu knocked on the table: "At least for now, we can't afford to raise an army of 100,000, so we only select the elite of the army to stay, together with the soldiers and horses in Yongzhou, a total of 30,000 elites In addition to the garrisons in various places, 10,000 Praetorian Guards are left to guard Chang'an, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are all used as the Tuntian army." ”

Li Ru nodded and said: "The lord is right, what our army should do now is to recuperate, not to continue the war, 30,000 soldiers and horses are the limit that our side can bear now." ”

Yongzhou now has a population of 1.5 million, all of whom have immigrated from Nanyang, and according to the original calculation, the pressure on grain and grass can be barely relieved by the time of the autumn harvest.

The outbreak of the Battle of Xiliang disrupted the previous plan, consumed a lot of grain and grass, and it was already difficult to feed the original soldiers and horses, but now Xiliang suddenly had an extra 100,000 mouths, and if he continued to raise, it would not be long before Lu Bu would have to go bankrupt.

Looking at the reluctant expressions of the generals, Lu Bu shook his head and smiled: "There are not many soldiers, not to mention that these soldiers are not completely dispersed, and when we have enough family funds in the future, it is not too late to train these troops into regular troops, Zhang Liao and Ma Chao." ”

"The last general!" Zhang Liao and Ma Chao each took a step forward.

"This battle can be won, Wen Yuan and Pang De have made great contributions, but now Pang De is seriously injured and not good at doing, so Wen Yuan will preside over the military administration of Xiliang, temporarily replace the position of Xiliang Thorn History, Meng Qi is General Fubo, and today Meng Qi will be named General Fubo, and Ma Dai will assist Wenyuan to govern Xiliang, and I will leave 80,000 Tuntian troops and settle them in Xiliang counties." Lu Bu handed over the Thorn History Seal that had been prepared long ago to Zhang Liaodao.

"The last general commands!" Zhang Liao respectfully took the seal of the assassination.

In fact, the military and the government should be separated, so as not to let the subordinates have too much power and breed some unnecessary ideas, but Lu Bu is now qualified to take the position of the assassin of a state There are only Chen Gong, Jia Xu, and Li Ru, Chen Gong will serve as the assassin of Yongzhou, Chang'an Order, and be in charge of Yongzhou government affairs, Li Ru wants to prepare for Lu Bu when he is in charge of Chang'an Academy, Jia Xu, as Lu Bu's military advisor, wants to stay by Lu Bu's side to give advice to Lu Bu, these three people are naturally not suitable to be sent out to take charge of Liangzhou, Therefore, the position of Xiliang Thorn History can only be temporarily held by Zhang Liao, and when he finds a suitable candidate for Thorn History in the future, he will come over to replace Zhang Liao.

"Gao Shun!"

"The end will be." Gao Shun stepped forward.

Lu Bu thought for a while and said, "Then you will take 20,000 Tuntian soldiers to Hongnong and carry out Tuntian." ”

"The last general commands."

In this battle, Gao Shun did not have too many achievements, and now Pang De has not been rewarded, so it is naturally not easy to promote Gao Shun, but handing over 20,000 Tuntian soldiers to Gao Shun is also a disguised increase in the real power in Gao Shun's hands.

"Let's go and prepare, and go back to Chang'an early tomorrow morning." Looking at everyone, Lu Bu stretched his muscles, counting it, this time to send troops, if you count the time of Bai Shuiqiang, it has been two months, but I miss the comfortable life of Chang'an. (To be continued.) )
