Chapter 2 Craftsman's Camp
Fighting bandits is naturally not a whim of Lu Bu, the bandits in Yongliang can be essentially different from the bandits in the Central Plains, the bandits here are mostly the Xiliang army of the year, they have seen blood on the battlefield, and some even know a little bit of the art of war, which is not a big problem, but it is also a cancer of public security. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The ten cottages circled by Lu Bu are all relatively powerful bandits, each cottage, the number of people is about 1,000 people, and the kind of small cottage that Lu Lingqi exterminated is by no means the same grade, after Lu Bu entered Chang'an, Chen Gong has organized several bandits, and the small cottages have suppressed a lot, but these big cottages, first, are limited by the strength, and secondly, these bandits are also very cunning, and the official army is powerful and escapes into the mountains, and when the official army is gone, continue to come out to loot, which is quite a bit of guerrilla warfare.
The person who led the team was Xiong Kuohai, Lu Bu did not follow this time, those bandits may be powerful, but these five hundred hussars were picked out from the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang army and Lu Bu's army, and they had experienced more than ten major battles, and they were killed from the battlefield, the elite of the elite, and the equipment was also the most sophisticated armor and weapons in Lu Bu's hands, and after half a year of systematic training by Lu Bu, whether it was cooperation, battle formation or individual combat, he could definitely be the king of soldiers in ordinary troops, in this case, if he Lu Bu went to be a nanny, Then you don't need to call yourself an elite, just go home and farm.
What Lu Bu needed was just a result, a result of picking out three hundred guards.
With the departure of the five hundred hussars, the stockade became empty, except for the clanging of the workshop.
On the third day of the hussar guard's departure, Chen Gong, Jia Xu, Li Ru, and the three major strategists under the command of Lu Bu were escorted by Liao Hua to the camp.
Half a year, this camp has been quite large-scale, in addition to the center of the camp, outside the reclamation of a large piece of wasteland, this is for the families of those craftsmen, is a reward for those craftsmen, each family can get a few acres of thin fields, and is not tax-paying, for people in this era, land, and no tax, this is more valuable than any gold and silver treasures, after all, this land, can be passed down from generation to generation, in the army, only meritorious soldiers are eligible to be assigned to the field, It also made these craftsmen work harder for Lu Bu.
As the three masterminds under Lu Bu's account, although the three of them have different emphasis, they all belong to Lu Bu's henchmen, and they know some of Lu Bu's thoughts more or less.
There are some speculations in Lu Bu's heart about Lu Bu's current focus on this craftsman's camp, first using the heirs of the Fa family, opening the academy, and now focusing on craftsmen, is this to reproduce the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period? Although there are doubts, it is difficult to say anything, at least Lu Bu's approach has indeed made the people's livelihood in Yongliang Land recover rapidly.
Since Fa Yan took charge of the Department of Justice, specific regulations have been set in major markets, which have gradually eliminated the contradictions between the Qiang and the Han, and it is rare to hear Zhang Ji complain about the disputes between the Qiang and the Han again.
As for this craftsman battalion, it also began to exert force, the sneak attack a month ago, the big yellow crossbow that broke Han Meng, was sent from here, and the weapons and armor of the hussar battalion, which is the envy of many generals, in addition, windmills, ploughs, and some tools to improve farming efficiency have been made in a steady stream, or sold, or scattered into the people as a reward, this year has not had much effect, because the craftsman camp was established too late, when these farm tools were sent, it was basically the autumn harvest season, but next year should have an effect, As for how much, there is no specific reference, it is all based on imagination, and they can't give an accurate answer, and everything will not be known until after the autumn harvest next year.
Five hundred hussar guards went to carry out the task, but as Lu Bu's military base, the future arsenal, it is naturally impossible not to fortify, He Yi He Man took the five hundred city guards to be responsible for the ten days of guarding the camp, and when he saw a group of people and horses coming, He Yi, who was on duty, hurriedly greeted him.
"Three gentlemen, why are you all here?" He Yi looked at the three of them in surprise and asked puzzledly.
"I'm here to meet the lord, General He will go and pass it on." Chen Gong said indifferently.
Lu Bu's three masterminds came to visit together, He Yi naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly trotted into the workshop to inform Lu Bu, and soon came out to greet the three of them, as for the people and horses brought by Liao Hua, they waited outside the camp on the spot, without permission, and ordinary troops were not allowed to approach the camp.
"My lord, this is ......" Looking at Lu Bu, who was shirtless and wielding a bright long sword, Chen Gong was stunned.
"Gongtai, Wen He, Wen Wei, what do you think of this sword?" Lu Bu handed the long sword in his hand to Chen Gong and said with a smile.
This sword is longer than the general sword, only one side of the Kaifeng, which is conducive to chopping, some like the Japanese sword of the later generations, but it is different, more thicker.
"Slashing the Horse?" Jia Xu glanced at the long sword in Chen Gong's hand, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes: "This horse sword is a blade specially used for the royal family, it is hard and sharp, and it can cut off the body of the horse to get its name, but the forging method has been lost, and I don't want to see it today." ”
"Not bad." Lu Bu said with a smile: "Master Pu used to be a blacksmith who turned into a royal weapon during the Ling Emperor period. ”
"The lord is serious, and the villain deserves the title of master." The middle-aged man known as Master Pu hurriedly bowed down and said humbly.
Lu Bu didn't care either, and took the horse sword handed back by Chen Gong and said with a smile: "But this sword was born, but it took a lot of effort. ”
A forging technology and drawings that have already appeared in the Han Dynasty have been put in the memory of Master Pu in the way of memory with two thousand achievement points, which is indeed troublesome, for which Lu Bu also specially cultivated Master Pu once, after all, this kind of weapon, fighting on horses has a strong lethality, sharp, hard, light weight, the only drawback, is the output, according to Master Pu's calculations, even if you rush to work day and night, with the current productivity of the workshop, if you want to ensure the quality, you can only build a thousand in the spring of the next year, plus stirrups, The task of horseshoe and the rhubarb crossbow with more complicated processes, it is already good that Lu Bu can take away three hundred next year.
The battle of Guandu is imminent, when will it end but two said, Lu Bu wants to before this, take the first step to pacify the Hetao, gain the initiative, enter the army out of Jilu Village, retreat can also make the enemy shift the focus to the Hetao, after all, between the Hetao and the Zhou, there is no Yellow River to block, Lu Bu's cavalry can enter the Hezhou at any time, and Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses want to bypass the Hetao to fight Yongliang but need to pull out the Yellow River, and worry about the back road being cut off by himself.
And to pacify the Hetao, cavalry combat is indispensable, with the previous lesson, the other party will definitely guard against the horse pit, and even deal with their own cavalry in turn, so Lu Bu must work equipment.
"What's the matter with the three of you here?" Lu Bu put down his sword, looked at the three of them and said suspiciously.
"It's an important event, and it's also a happy event." Chen Gong bowed and said: "Princess Liu Yun of Wannian has been married to the lord for several months, and now that Yongliang is calm, it is time for the lord to marry the princess." ”
Marrying the princess is also an opportunity for Lu Bu to correct his name, from now on, even if he is a relative of the emperor and the country, even if he is a wealthy family, even if he does not approve of Lu Bu in his heart, he cannot comment and criticize as unscrupulously as before, in terms of momentum and public opinion, it is enough to make Lu Bu go further.
Although the Han family is declining, the tiger still exists, at least in the hearts of the people of the world, including the people under Lu Bu, the Han family still represents orthodoxy.
"Have you picked a good day?" Lu Bu nodded, he was not too resistant to marrying the princess, he was reluctant to marry before, also because Diao Chan was pregnant, although Diao Chan never had half a complaint about himself, but Lu Bu also had to take care of Diao Chan's feelings.
"The fifteenth day of the next month is the auspicious day of the zodiac." Chen Gong nodded and said, since he came to persuade Lu Bu, these homework have already been prepared.
"On the fifteenth day of next month, this matter should not be extravagant, Yongliang is dilapidated, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, but there is not so much money and food to spend on a wedding." Lu Bu frowned.
"Don't worry, my lord, this matter has been arranged." Chen Gong smiled.
"You guys!" Lu Bu shook his head and smiled: "Since you are here, take a tour of this military camp with me." ”
"Whoa." When the three of them heard this, they smiled and said, they were also very curious why Lu Bu couldn't live in Chang'an, but he insisted on guarding this big camp.
After the huge school field, it is a residential area, a small place, the houses where the sergeants live and the houses of the craftsmen are heavily fortified, Jia Xu is well-informed, and faintly sees that this small military village is actually arranged according to the direction of the nine palace gossip, and the arrangement between Diao Dou and the secret whistle is also quite exquisite,
"I wonder who designed this camp? It seems simple, but it is quite realistic. Li Ru looked at the military camp in front of him with some surprise.
When Lu Bu heard this, he could only smile, he didn't explain, there were some things that couldn't be explained and couldn't be explained, for the layout of this military camp, Lu Bu had a lot of blood to build it, and asked instead: "If you are responsible for attacking this village, I have five hundred ordinary soldiers, how many soldiers and horses do you need to attack?" ”
"If the lord doesn't make a move, three thousand soldiers can be taken." Chen Gong touched his beard and thought for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion, if he wanted to break through this village, he could only push it step by step, and as the defender, Lu Bu could use the cover of the terrain to fight and retreat, occupying a great advantage, without three thousand soldiers and horses, Chen Gong really didn't dare to say that he could capture this village.
This is still Lu Bu only stationed here with 500 people, if all the troops are stationed, this is built according to the scale of 3,000 people, if all of them are used to garrison troops, no 10,000 people dare not say that they can be breached.
Three thousand?
Lu Bu smiled and didn't answer, but unfortunately the people stationed here were not ordinary generals.
"With this big camp, if the two sides can communicate with each other in a secret way, someone will hit Chang'an, and Chang'an will be able to be safe." Jia Xu smiled.
Lu Bu nodded when he heard this, this is also a method, his heart moved, but he unconsciously began to think about the future confrontation with Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, maybe this trick can be used. (To be continued.) )
