With the arrival of Zhang Liao's brigade, the captured bandits were obviously much more honest, and Gao Shun specially sent people to build thirty huge wooden houses, which were guarded separately, greatly reducing the possibility of riots. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I don't know who designed this cottage in the past, but I think it is also a capable person, at least in terms of site selection and design, it can be seen that this person has good ability, but it is a pity that he died of illness on the bed a few years ago, otherwise, he can pick up a good talent in this ravine.

The attic at the foot originally belonged to Liu Pi, but now that the cottage has changed hands, the attic with the highest style in this cottage has naturally become Lu Bu's temporary camp.

The data of the captives has been reported, together with the young people selected in the cottage before, there are more than 2,600 people, but among them, only 24 people were selected by Gao Shun to enter the trapping camp, so that the number of trapped camps can reach 60 people, and the soldiers in the trapping camp are fine but not many.

As for the rest, Lu Bu is not ready to let go this time, except for the Funiu Mountains, that is, in Nanyang, what Zhang Xiu's attitude is is still unknown, but in his own hands, there must be a combat force, even if he stays here for a while, Lu Bu must completely control this force in his hands, not every city can be fought according to the routine of Shu County, and the reason why Shu County was able to capture it was because Shu County had few people, and Lu Bu could use his own archery skills to forcibly suppress a section of the city wall and win time for breaking the city, but if the defending forces are sufficient, This one doesn't work.

No matter how powerful he is, he is also a human being, Lu Bu has tried the five-stone strong bow, and he has pulled it fifty times, which is the limit.

"Haven't slept yet?" As soon as his shoulders warmed, Diao Chan appeared behind Lu Bu at some point and helped Lu Bu put on a cloak.

"The husband hasn't rested yet, how can the concubine sleep?" Diao Chan chuckled, helped Lu Bu tie the cloak, and said softly: "The night breeze is very cold, and the husband still needs to pay more attention to his body, you must know that the husband is not only representing the husband alone, but also implicating the future of these many soldiers." ”

"What about you?" Lu Bu stretched out his hand, took Diao Chan in his arms, and smiled a little frivolously.

"The concubine will naturally be by her husband's side forever." Feeling the scorching heat coming from Lu Bu's body, Diao Chan's body was a little soft, and his smooth cheeks were faintly flushed under the reflection of the moonlight.

"When we settle down, we will make you the main room, and when the time comes, help me give birth to a litter of big fat boys." Lu Bu laughed, and his rough palm gradually touched into Diao Chan's dirty clothes, and kneaded it restlessly.

"Husband, I'm ...... Let's go back to the house. Diao Chan fell softly into Lu Bu's arms, exhaling like a landau.

"Hey~" Lu Bu smiled slightly, and was about to pick up Diao Chan, in the sound of small footsteps, Da Qiao appeared at the door and saw the two of them ambiguously. The action of ignorance hurriedly lowered his head like a frightened rabbit.

"What's the matter?" Lu Bu frowned, and a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, master, Mr. Gongtai asks to see you." Da Qiao didn't dare to look at Lu Bu's eyes, and said in a low voice.

"Got it, help Mrs. go to rest." Lu Bu snorted coldly, pushed Diao Chan to Da Qiao, and strode towards the attic.

"My sister doesn't have to be afraid, after getting along for a long time, my sister will find that her husband is actually a very good person to get along with." Seeing Da Qiao's frightened appearance, Diao Chan smiled and whispered comfortingly.

"It's only in front of you that you'll be gentle, right?" Da Qiao thought bitterly in her heart, stretched out her hand to hold Diao Chan, there were some things that she didn't dare to say, even if Diao Chan was very good to her two sisters, they had been in the same room with Lu Bu a few times, but they had never seen Lu Bu be as gentle as Diao Chan was to their sisters.

Looking at Da Qiao's appearance, Diao Chan didn't explain much, and looked around suspiciously: "What about Sister Ying'er?" ”

"Back to Madame, Ying'er is a little inconvenient today, I let her sleep first, please forgive Madame." Da Qiao hurriedly said.

"It's okay, since it's the same husband's woman, my sister doesn't have to be so restrained." Diao Chan looked at the appearance of the bridge and shook his head.

"It's so late on the public platform, why haven't you rested yet?" In the living room on the first floor of the attic, Lu Bu sat down, looked at Chen Gong, and wondered.

"My lord." Chen Gong glanced at Lu Bu, his eyes a little hesitant.

"There's nothing to say, but it's okay to say it." Lu Bu frowned and said, "There are only you and me here, so there is no need to hide it." ”

"What is the lord going to do with these mountain people?" Chen Gong said in a deep voice.

"Mountain people?" Lu Bu put his hand on the table, his index finger was neither light nor heavy, he tapped the table with a certain rhythm, looked at Chen Gong, and finally shook his head and said, "Those more than 2,000 strong people must be taken away, as for those mountain people, we can't take them." ”

Liu Bei can take hundreds of thousands of people and walk out of a way to live, but if he takes these nearly 10,000 mountain people to Nanyang, it will definitely be a dead end.

When Chen Gong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief gently, what he was most afraid of was that Lu Bu didn't know the severity and brought these mountain people with him, which would not be a help for this army, but a disaster.

"Then what is the lord going to do with these mountain people?" Chen Gong said in a deep voice.

"I asked about Gong Du, this cottage was originally built by Liu Bi with the remnants of the Yellow Turban in order to avoid the pursuit of the imperial court, and those who came in at that time were all Yellow Turban elites, as for those mountain people, most of them came later because they could not bear the government's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and they were forced to come for a living, and there is not much direct relationship between them and the bandits, we can bring some of the bandits' families, but the number must be strictly controlled, and it cannot exceed three hundred." Lu Bu pondered.

Chen Gong nodded, three hundred people were within an acceptable range, and it happened that Lu Bu also brought his family, so they could be put together and specially sent someone to protect them: "But what about the others, without these bandits, those old and young women and children can't survive in the mountains." ”

The fields in the mountains are limited, and most of the food in the cottage depends on the bandits to hunt and pick some wild fruits for a living.

"It's not difficult." Lu Bu smiled: "Didn't Liu Bei want to take root here? Let these people go to Liu Bei, with the reputation of Uncle Liu Huang, I think these people are more willing to follow Liu Bei, as for how to deal with it, it's his business, tomorrow I will send someone to inform Liu Bei to receive it, I'm afraid we will stay here for a while. ”

"The lord wants to completely subdue these bandits?" Chen Gong said in a deep voice.

"Hmm." Lu Bu looked at the uncertain firelight in the oil lamp, and said faintly: "A few **** days ago, I sent someone to Nanyang to contact Zhang Xiu, but so far no one has returned. ”

Chen Gong couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, although he expected this result, but when it really came, he still felt heavy in his heart.

"Does the lord have a solution? If we stay here for a long time, although we have a lot of grain and grass, we will expand our army by more than 2,000 people at once, and the whole army will exceed 3,000 people, and I am afraid that these grains and grasses will not last even a year. ”

"We can't wait a year." Lu Bu shook his head and said categorically: "The general trend of the world has gradually become clear, we must pass through Nanyang before Cao Cao clears the rear, otherwise, there will be no place for us to stand still!" ”

Yuan Shu has now been beaten into a turtle by Cao Cao, within half a year, Yuan Shu's power will inevitably disappear, as for Liu Bei, with a broken Runan, it is impossible for Cao Cao's opponent, as for those families in Xuzhou, I am afraid they will not dare to go all out at this time Liu Bei, once Runan is swept away, then Zhang Xiu will be left, no matter whether Zhang Xiu is fighting or surrendering, Cao Cao's army is an inevitable situation.

"Starting tomorrow, send some shrewd people to infiltrate Nanyang and draw the most detailed map of Nanyang as soon as possible, in addition to infiltrating Wancheng to find out the approximate strength and distribution of Nanyang." Lu Bu pondered.

"I'll do it myself." Chen Gong nodded.

"Gongtai is going to Nanyang?" Lu Bu frowned.

"Yes, this matter is related to the future of our army, if I am not in charge, I can't rest assured." Chen Gong nodded.

"Okay, I'll let Xiong Kuohai accompany him, although he is reckless, but he is good at martial arts, that Zhang Xiu is known as the king of spears in the north, and he may not be his opponent." Lu Bu said solemnly.

"Thank you for your love." Chen Gong smiled and said, under Lu Bu, if the book is the strongest in martial arts, it used to be Zhang Liao, but now, I am afraid that it will be considered a majestic sea, with him with him, at least in terms of safety, there are many guarantees.

"I will regularly send people to contact the lord and try to find out the situation in Nanyang within a month."

"Then take Zhou Cang with you, this person was born with a pair of scuds and doesn't get off the galloping horse." Lu Bu nodded and said solemnly: "Bu is here, I wish Gongtai a smooth journey." ”

"Thank you, Lord."
