Chapter 15: The Seizure of Power

"Bah~ I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy road wealth!"

On a post road in the southeast of Runan, Lu Bu looked at the bandit who suddenly popped out in front of him with great interest, but he didn't expect this classic line to have it in this era. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hey, the robbery has hit us! Still alone! Xiong Kuohai laughed, lifted the cooked copper stick in his hand, and turned his head to look at Guan Hai beside him: "I said Lao Guan, it's only been a few days since you entered Runan, how many waves are this?" Are there too many thieves in Runan? ”

"Most of them, they treat us as escorts for grain and grass." Guan Hai nodded, and looked at the stupid thief in front of him with bad intentions: "This belongs to me." ”

"Why?" Xiong Kuohai glared and said, "It's okay to talk one person at a time, isn't it anything about your fucking talk?" ”

"Alright, stop arguing." Lu Buce immediately stepped forward and looked at the broad-shouldered and round-waisted thief in front of him: "Give him something to eat, he must be hungry and crazy, this world is not easy." ”

"Yes." Guan Hai and Xiong Kuohai glared at each other, looked at the thief, Xiong Kuohai took out a bag of dry food from his body, threw it to the thief and said: "It's your fate, a person came to rob the grain, although I don't know what the ability is, but I am not small, take these grains, go to be a serious business, next time I meet it, I don't have such good luck." After speaking, Xiong Kuohai slammed the cooked copper stick in his hand to the ground, and suddenly the whole ground trembled, and an invisible energy spread to the surroundings with the cooked copper stick as the center, blowing up a circle of dust.

Dahan took the grain bag, looked at Lu Bu, and then looked at the vast sea, silently retreated to the side of the road, and did not leave, just sat on the ground, opened the grain bag, took out a few meatloaf from it, and ate it without caring about other people's eyes.

"Ha~" Seeing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but shake his head, untied the water bladder on the horse's back, and threw it towards the man: "Next." ”

The man didn't look up, stretched out his left hand, caught the water bladder thrown by Lu Bu, looked at Lu Bu deeply again, and continued to gobble up.

For Lu Bu, this was just a small episode and he didn't care, but the current situation in Runan made Lu Bu frown.

"It's only been less than five days since I entered Runan, and I can meet stupid thieves almost every day, and Yuan Highway is really capable." Lu Bu sneered, although he had known that there were thieves in Runan, he didn't expect it to be eroded to such an extent.

"My lord, this Runan will have such a field as it is today, and it has nothing to do with you." Chen Gong said with a smile.

"Oh?" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong in surprise, what does it matter to himself?

"The lord forgot, when you were in Huainan, Yuan Shu's subordinates were frightened, how much grain and grass were robbed, so that Yuan Shu's army was in short supply, and he could only ask the people for it, and the people were overwhelmed, so they fell into the grass one after another to escape Yuan Shu's taxes, and Yuan Shu almost lost control of this area." Chen Gong said with a smile.

"Ha, I see." Lu Bu smiled: "But it's also cheaper for us, if it weren't for that, Ziming wouldn't have been able to reorganize the camp so quickly." ”

Along the way, almost all of the thieves were killed by Lu Bu's fierce generals first, and the bandits under his command had a weak sense of fighting, and almost all of them surrendered when they saw that they were invincible, and Lu Bu asked Gao Shun to choose to be strong and strong to fill the army, but Gao Shun's selection conditions were extremely strict, so many days, at least three or five thousand bandits, only more than twenty were selected, which is really one in a hundred.

Gao Shun couldn't help but smile on his face, shook his head and said, "The lord has a good reputation, these people are untrained, and they are not really trapped. ”

Lu Bu nodded and said: "Along the way, we don't have time to stop and practice, so let's practice while walking, and have the opportunity to pull out and fight a few battles, so that these people can see blood." ”

"Whoa!" Gao Shun nodded, this was exactly what he thought.

"But it's not enough to trap the camp, next time we will pick people, in addition to trapping the camp, we will also pick some strong people to fill the army as our regular infantry." Lu Bu thought about it, now he is the opposite of Yuan Shu's situation, Yuan Shu is no general, but Lu Bu's side, there are no soldiers available, although only with five hundred elite cavalry, but he can't always rely on five hundred elite cavalry to fight, Chang'an side, it is difficult to recruit people in a short time.

"Whoa!"

On the other side, Liu Bei took the 20,000 horses allocated to him by Cao Cao to detour to Xuzhou, and it took five days to settle in Anyang in Runan from the rear.

Cao Cao obviously attached great importance to this surprise attack, and even gave Liu Bei a thousand cavalry, Anyang is only two hundred miles away from Runan, if the cavalry marches, within a day, it can be reached, but Liu Bei arrived in Anyang, but did not continue to move forward, but led the army into Anyang County.

"Brother, in this Runan territory, ten rooms and nine empty, Anyang was originally a big county, with a household registration of more than 10,000, but now there are less than 1,000 people in the city, if this is the case, what is the use of us taking Runan?" In the Yazhong of Anyang County, Guan Yu, who had inspected the county seat of Anyang County, came in and frowned at Liu Bei.

"The second brother doesn't need to be surprised, Yuan Shu's exploitation is excessive, causing the people in the territory to flee one after another, or leave their hometowns, but there are also many people who are forced to fall into the grass for their livelihoods, I am here, just need to apply benevolent government, and recall those homeless people again, and in less than a year, we will be able to restore their prosperity, and then we can join Liu Biao in the west and Sun Ce in the east to fight against Cao Cao." Liu Bei said with a smile, he had already planned for Runan, and even before, he had secretly made contact with several powerful bandits on Runan's side, and he only needed to settle down here, and he could collect these horses for his own use.

"Since the eldest brother has a plan, the younger brother is relieved." Guan Yu nodded and said, "It's just Xuzhou ......"

When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but think of what Chen Deng said to himself when he left Xuzhou, if he can get the royal recognition and gain a firm foothold in Runan, Xuzhou will definitely be willing to support him at that time, otherwise, the Xuzhou family will not be on his side, shook his head and said: "Let's talk about it when we get a foothold in Runan." ”

"Yes!" Guan Yu nodded.

"Big brother, second brother, it's not good!" At this moment, Zhang Fei suddenly rushed in.

"Third brother!" Guan Yu glared at Zhang Fei dissatisfied, Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei's appearance, frowned, and said, "What's the alarm?" ”

Zhang Fei took the water bowl handed by Guan Yu, and drank it with a sigh before saying: "Big brother, that car boy, I don't know what crazy he is, and he suddenly wants to leave with the troops!" ”

"What!?" Liu Bei stood up suddenly, frowning, these 20,000 people are the capital of his start, and there is absolutely no room for mistakes, and now Che Zhou suddenly wants to lead the troops to leave, presumably he has found some clues, thinking of this, Liu Bei immediately looked at the two of them: "Second brother, third brother, this army, must not let Che Zhou take away, follow me to stop him!" ”

"Good!" The two nodded, each took his weapon, and walked out.

Although Che Zhou doesn't know what Liu Bei is thinking these days, but since he entered the territory of Runan, Liu Bei has slowed down the marching speed intentionally or unintentionally, and now he is living in Anyang, it seems that he has a permanent appearance, how can he not let Che Zhou worry, thinking of the order that Cao Cao secretly gave himself before, when even if he went to the camp with his cronies, he was a military general of the Cao Army, and he already had enough prestige and recognition in the army, not to mention that there was a military talisman secretly given by Cao Cao, and it was very easy to say that this army was moved.

The three armies drove outside the city, but Liu Bei had already chased after Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from the other side, and the three of them quickly stopped the army, Liu Bei Ce immediately stepped forward, looked at the car and said: "General Che, what does this mean?" ”

Che Xuan took out a talisman from his arms, looked at Liu Bei and said: "On the order of the prime minister, I will replace you as the main general, and from now on, the three armies should respect me!" ”

"Bold car! dared to fake the king's order, could it be that he wanted to rebel! Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a touch of gloom, and he suddenly shouted: "Cheng Yuan entrusted me in public every day and ordered me to be the chief general of the three armies, you are just a partial general, and you dare to covet the position of the chief general, come here, and you won't take it with me!" ”

The officers and soldiers of the three armies couldn't help but be a little dazed when they heard this, no one moved, but they unconsciously widened the distance between them and the chariot, after all, the orders they received were also sent by Liu Bei, and at this moment Liu Bei said it, which suddenly made the army a little swaying.

But others didn't move, Guan Yu moved, his crotch carmine was given by Emperor Xian himself in Xuchang that day, although it was not as good as the red rabbit, but it was also a rare big Wan good horse, at this moment, once urged, the four hooves were like the wind, and they had rushed to the front of the car in an instant.

Che Xuan was appeasing the soldiers, he didn't expect Guan Yu to come so quickly, seeing that the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in Guan Yu's hand was raised, he didn't care about anything else, and immediately raised the steel gun in his hand, and raised the fire to the sky with one move, wanting to hold Guan Yu's knife.

"Die!"

Guan Yu pulled the reins of the horse, the carmine man stood up, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife broke through the air with the inertia of the war horse landing and its own strength, and easily cut off the steel spear of the car, and the knife was not stopped, and a knife went down from the left shoulder of the car, until the right waist, splitting the person in half.

"Roar~" Guan Yu killed the enemy with a knife, shouted angrily, and angrily shook the three armies, the soldiers of the three armies saw the death of the car, and were intimidated by Guan Yu's momentum, plus Liu Bei was the chief general of the three armies, and under Liu Bei's appeasement, all of them surrendered and returned to the city.

"Yun Chang, you personally go to Guangling and ask Yuanlong to help us with some grain and grass." After stabilizing the three armies, Liu Bei recruited Guan Yu, and now he is equivalent to having turned his back on Cao Cao, so it is naturally impossible to get grain and grass from Cao Cao, and Runan is empty, so he can only ask Chen Deng for help.

"Don't worry, big brother, I'll go." Guan Yu took the order, took a group of men and horses, and left straight in the direction of Guangling.
