The sky was covered with a touch of fish belly white, and the city of Luyang, which had experienced a night of hustle and bustle, gradually cooled down, and there were occasional weapons colliding and fighting sounds in the city, but Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, who had experienced countless battles, knew that this war was actually over, and after the two handed over the clean-up to their subordinates, they rushed to the county government and joined Lu Bu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Unexpectedly, this hook doesn't seem to be peculiar, but this time it has made a great achievement." In the county office, Zhang Liao looked at the row of hooks on the ground in amazement, this is the result of Lu Bu spending two days to build and three days of training a few days ago, if it weren't for the camp last night and quietly touched the city wall with hook claws, it was really not easy to take down this Luyang City with four thousand elite soldiers.

"If it weren't for the elite, it wouldn't have gone so well." Lu Bu shook his head, this kind of thing is not something that everyone has done, looking at Gao Shun, Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "How about the casualties of our army last night?" ”

"The cavalry lost not much, but the 2,600 infantry troops suffered a lot of losses, 221 killed in battle, 339 seriously wounded, not counting minor wounds, and captured Luyang surrendered soldiers, as many as 3,408 people." Gao Shun took a step forward and said in a deep voice.

Lu Bu was silent, the 2,600 infantry troops were trained by him step by step from the bandits, but the training days were short, even if he had the advantage yesterday and killed the city guard and deputy general first, there were still such heavy casualties.

"I just experienced a night battle, and I should have been cultivating for a few days, but time is running out, Gao Shun, Xu Sheng, Guan Hai!" Lu Bu looked at the generals and said in a deep voice.

"The last general!" Gao Shun and the three of them came out of the queue and bowed.

"Gao Shun is the main general, Xu Sheng, Guan Hai is the deputy general, leading a thousand infantry troops and a thousand descending troops, stationed in Yiyang, and Luyang, Zhuyang two cities are in a corner, if Zhang Xiu attacks the other two cities, send troops to attack its grain road."

"Whoa!" Gao Shun took the arrow and left with Xu Sheng and Guan Hai.

"Zhang Liao, Hao Zhao, Chen Xing!"

"The last general!" Zhang Liao and the three of them came out of the ranks.

"Zhang Liao is the main general, Hao Zhao and Chen Xing are the deputy generals, leading a thousand infantry troops, and a thousand troops are stationed in Zhuyang.

"Whoa!" Zhang Liao took the arrow, hesitated, and looked at Lu Budao: "Lord, it's just that since this is the case, Lu Yang is mostly a pawn, and I am afraid that the defense is empty." "There are a total of 2,600 infantry troops, he and Gao Shun each took 1,000, and the remaining 600 people died more than 200 last night, and more than 300 were seriously wounded. What's more, the generals around Lu Bu who can fight well are all sent out, and only Pei Yuanshao, He Yi, He Man and the like are left, Lu Yang is almost supported by Lu Bu alone, as for Wei Yan, who was newly promoted by Lu Bu, whether it is Zhang Liao or Gao Shun, they are not too favorable.

"Since you have surrendered, why bother separating you and me, if you can't even control these soldiers, what about the future, Wen Yuan will go by himself, and the others will follow me to guard Luyang." Lu Bu smiled confidently and said, in terms of the means of winning people's hearts, he may not lose to Liu Bei.

"Yes." Zhang Liao looked at the confident Lu Bu, smiled bitterly, nodded, and left with Chen Xing and Hao Zhao.

"Bun Chang." After Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and the others left, Lu Bu straightened his body, looked at the four generals left by him, and finally fell on Wei Yan.

"My lord." Wei Yan took a step forward and bowed.

"You are from Nanyang, I will leave the matter of appeasing the soldiers to you, rest for a day, and early tomorrow morning, bring the remaining soldiers to the Dongcheng school field and train with the veterans."

"Whoa!" Wei Yan bowed.

"Pei Yuanshao, He Yi, He Man."

"The end will be." Three people came out of the ranks.

"Gather together all the doctors in the city to heal the wounds of the seriously wounded brothers, and bring all the blacksmiths, carpenters, and all the craftsmen in the city, along with their families, and we will take them away later."

"Whoa!"

"Let's all disperse, leave behind those who need to inspect the city defenses, and the others go back to rest." Lu Bu waved his hand, and after everyone retreated, he did not leave, and spread out the map of Nanyang sent by Chen Gong.

Nanyang is the place of the four wars, convenient transportation, prosperous population, if it was five years ago, Cao Cao has not swept Xuzhou, here is a lot to do, you can cooperate with Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, each other to contain Cao Cao, at that time Cao Cao was not able to look south, but also look at Jingxiang, step by step to strengthen themselves, in short, there is a lot of room to play, but today, Nanyang's status with himself and Liu Bei, Yuan Shu has been defeated by Cao Cao, Nanyang's status is a little embarrassing.

The reason why Liu Biao didn't come to attack, just hoped to use Zhang Xiu to resist Cao Cao and become the gateway to the nine counties of Jingxiang, after Cao Cao swept away Yuan Shu and Liu Bei, the next step was to clear here, and in turn to Nanyang to see Liu Biao, not to mention that Zhang Xiu has not been removed now, even if Zhang Xiu is removed, he can't stay here and wait for Cao Cao to attack, Nanyang is the revival of Guangwu when the country, Liu Xiu's place of fortune, there are many gate valves, these people don't talk about themselves, even if Zhang Xiu has been operating here for many years, they refuse to return to obedience, not to mention that they are now discredited, after the defeat of Xuzhou, It is even more intolerable to the world's families.

But......

The corners of Lu Bu's mouth pulled up a sneer, the goose plucked his feathers, although he can't keep this place, but he can't cheapen Cao Cao for nothing, the thirty-six counties of Nanyang, with a population of one million, gave Cao, which is undoubtedly the war potential of the strong Cao Cao!

A crazy thought rose in Lu Bu's heart, if you want to determine the world, the support of the family is important, but the population is the most fundamental thing, no matter what, these people must be taken away by themselves, and when the time comes, Cao Cao will leave him with an empty shell, but in this way, Zhang Xiu must get it done as soon as possible.

Tapping his fingers on the tabletop lightly and heavily, Lu Bu thought silently, Zhang Xiu is not difficult to deal with, what is really difficult to deal with is Jia Xu next to Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu is almost obedient to this old fox, and he has to think of a way to disassemble these two people, and this matter has to be done by Chen Gong's side.

In the evening, He Yi, He Man and Pei Yuanshao returned to the county government with a lonely face.

"How many have you saved?" Lu Bu looked at the expressions of the two of them, and knew that the situation of those seriously injured soldiers was not optimistic.

"There are too few doctors, and there are only six in the whole city, and after a day of treatment, there are more than 300 brothers, and only nine can survive in the end." He Yi said astringently.

After Lu Bu was silent for a moment, he nodded, a touch of pity flashed in his eyes, after all, these were all soldiers brought out by himself, this was their first real war, but it had also become the sound of life.

"Bury the fallen soldiers." Lu Bu dispersed the mercy in his heart, Ci is not in charge of the army, this is a troubled time, as a soldier, he should have the consciousness of dying on the battlefield, war, it is a cruel game that devours human life, as a commander, as a monarch, all he can do is to minimize the casualties as much as possible.

"Yes." The three of them bowed.

"Besides, how did the craftsmen gather?" Lu Bu looked at the trio.

"It's almost over, the famous craftsmen in the city and even some apprentices have been recruited, and these people are better to invite." Pei Yuanshao said.

"Settle well, these people, I will be of great use in the future." Lu Bu nodded, the status of Shinong industry and commerce, craftsmen is not too high in this era, but the real productivity comes from these people, which is undoubtedly a strange social phenomenon in Lu Bu's view, but in this era, no matter how powerful the craftsmen, a word of magic and ingenuity, will make their inventions and creations worthless.

"Whoa!" The three of them bowed in agreement.

"Lord, great joy!" Wei Yan came in with a little joy on his face, and when he saw that the three of them were also there, he nodded in a friendly manner, and then saluted Lu Bu and said: "The good news just came, the two generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun have successfully captured the two counties of Yiyang and Zhuyang, and the name of the lord has now shocked Nanyang. ”

Lu Bu nodded, there was no big surprise at this news, there were not many garrisons in Yiyang and Zhuyang counties, and there were only a few hundred people in total, with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's skills, if even these two counties could not be captured, Lu Bu would be really surprised.

"Let's all go and rest, starting tomorrow, we will be busy." Lu Bu waved his hand and asked the four of them to retreat, it was time for him to take a rest.

At the same time, Lu Bu appeared in Luyang, and within a day, the news of the three cities of Luyang, Yiyang and Zhuyang has reached Wancheng, and suddenly set off a storm in Wancheng and even the entire Nanyang, the major families and wealthy families feel a sense of crisis at the same time, rumored, Lu Bu is not as kind as Zhang Xiu, if Lu Bu takes Nanyang, it is definitely not the blessing of the family, for a while, those who originally did not look down on Zhang Xiu, have come to the door, asking Zhang Xiu to send troops to exterminate Lu Bu.
