If Yuan Shao really hangs up, this soldier must be released, just looking at Chen Gong's expression of striking at any time, Lu Bu also knows that if he wants to let Chen Gong find a way again, the advantages will be difficult for him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Not only the grain and grass, the soldiers and horses are also a problem, now the soldiers that Lu Bu can fight in his hands are almost all spread in Heluo, Bingzhou and the Western Regions, at the moment Chang'an does not say vacuum, but the guard force is really weak, this is still Lu Bu brought back the three thousand men and horses who were ready to attack Montenegro intact, relieving a lot of pressure, otherwise the situation will be worse.

The soldiers and horses of Bingzhou and Heluo must not be moved, these two places cannot be lost, of course, you can also give up a large area of land for Yuan Shao to compete with Cao Cao, but in that case, Lu Bu's painstaking management this year has turned into a win, and more importantly, these are just a hypothesis, what if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao insist on destroying themselves and then compete for the position of the overlord of the north?

This is not impossible, and the annexation of the state plus the recalled Montenegrin Army, with a population of nearly two million, Lu Bu really can't afford it, that is almost one-third of the total population under Lu Bu's rule now, and the population is not as good as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, so cut off one-third of his population at once, so don't play.

As for the 30,000 troops in the Western Regions, they can't move lightly, not only to suppress Zhangye's slaves, but more importantly, to deter the countries of the Western Regions.

The Western Regions are too chaotic, one city and one country, although they are all very weak, but each small country has its own unique culture and customs, when Pang Tong was there, it could still be handled in an orderly manner, but then Lu Lingqi left and sent Pang Tong to Lu Bu's side, the Western Regions, can only rely on some methods left by Pang Tong to implement step by step, but the times are changing, and using the same methods and means to deal with the ever-changing problems will definitely not work for a long time.

The Western Regions needs a talent who is at least not much worse than Pang Tong in internal affairs to manage, but there are only three talents of this level under Lu Bu, who will go?

None of them are suitable, Chen Gong is now in charge of Lu Bu's internal affairs, Jia Xu is following Lu Bu as a think tank, Li Ru is currently helping Lu Bu with the three school plans, each of which is inseparable, Lu Bu's eyes can't help but look at Pang Tong on the side.

Pang Tong, who was sitting on the chair and drowsy, suddenly shuddered, looked around vigilantly, only to find that Lu Bu was looking at him with a strange gaze.

Grunted and swallowed his saliva, Pang Tong moved to the side quietly, trying his best to let Chen Gong cover himself, this martial artist must not have thought of good things in his head, Pang Tong can see it, this Lu Bu seems to have a dual personality, on the battlefield, sometimes even he can be driven by Lu Bu's emotions, but when he gets off the battlefield, he is calm and terrible, and he is much more terrifying than Lu Lingqi's evil mother-in-law.

Shaking his head, Lu Bu retracted his gaze, Pang Tong is not suitable at the moment, it is not a matter of loyalty, but he does not have enough courage, he governed the Western Regions at the beginning, completely relying on the prestige of Lu Lingqi and Zhao Yun, and now go back, without Lu Lingqi and Zhao Yun, Pang Tong may not be able to play.

"Let Xu Rong transfer 100,000 slaves into Bingzhou to help restore people's livelihood." After thinking about it, Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and said, "If there is really something, when the time comes, let these slave soldiers go into battle." ”

"Slaves?" Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu very incomprehensibly.

"Well, let Fa Yan formulate a set of systems, from these slaves, according to their daily performance, select some slaves with excellent performance, and then transfer to Bingzhou, if there is really a war, I will personally take them to the battlefield, promise them, those who kill one person, can be exempted from work and rest, give second-class civilian status, kill ten people can obtain Han status, if they can continue to make meritorious service, they can get rewards and official titles like other soldiers." Lu Bu said indifferently.

Ruthless enough!

Pang Tong sat upright, his eyes did not squint, but he couldn't help but give Lu Bu a thumbs up in his heart, in this way, he could largely disintegrate the resistance of these Xianbei people and the Huns, and the excellent ones were all picked up, and the rest could not make any waves even if they were dissatisfied, when Lu Bu was short of people again, come and pick a group again, anyway, as long as there are Hu people on the grassland, there will be no shortage of people in the slave camps in the northwest.

As for those incentives, it sounds like they are very preferential to these slaves, but as long as you think about it carefully, it is not like that, on the battlefield, you can kill people, people can kill you, after a battle, not many people can survive, it may be possible to kill one person, but if you kill ten people, you can still survive, then you can really be regarded as a warrior, and you will not lose if you accept it, not to mention that these people also set an example, so that the people in the slave camp have hope, not to mention completely resolve the riot, but this trick can indeed divide these slaves little by little, Even if there is a riot, it is easier to control, and more importantly, there is hope in the heart, and these people will become extremely fierce when they arrive on the battlefield under the impetus of this hope......

Pang Tong suddenly didn't want to think about it, the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

Chen Gong frowned and thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he nodded to Lu Bu, not only because the slave soldiers did not need to mobilize the current population, but more importantly, they saved money, military salaries did not need to be paid, and military rations ...... It is more abundant than in the slave camps, which are also 50,000 men, and the military rations required in the slave camps are half or even less than the same number of troops.

Moreover, these people do not need to be raised on weekdays, and the state has now begun to make various repairs, and the military rations of these slaves were originally counted in the cash-for-work.

A profitable deal, Chen Gong now raised his hands in agreement.

"In addition, the ...... of the Western Regions" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong: "I want to encircle the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions in one state, but who will govern it, and there will be people recommended by the public platform?" ”

The three strategists must not be moved, but under the three of them, who can be competent? Although Lu Bu now has a lot of talents from Yongliang wealthy families, among these talents, Lu Bu can't think of a talent who can be qualified for this position.

"This ......" Chen Gong smiled bitterly, speechless, Lu Bu couldn't think of it, he couldn't think of it, Wei Kang, Zhao Cen and the like, in Chen Gong's opinion, it may be possible to govern a county, but the Western Regions are different from the Central Plains, and the rulers must be good at adapting to local conditions, these people, including Zhang Ji and Jiang Xu, can't do it.

"Didn't Master Hou catch such a thing in his hand not long ago? Why go far? Pang Tong leaned back in his chair and pouted.

"Frustrated?" Lu Bu's eyes lit up, when the guards arrested Fu Zhu back that night, Fu Zhu put on an attitude of preferring death to surrender to face Lu Bu, according to the convention, he was taken into custody by Lu Bu, and he may be able to use it as a political bargaining chip to trade with Yuan Shao in the future, but now that he thinks about it, with his ability, he is indeed suitable for this position.

"Fu Gong and indeed have great talents, but this person still has his heart for Yuan Shao, and it may be difficult to persuade him to be loyal to the lord." Chen Gong frowned.

"It depends on how it works." Lu Bu smiled and shouted outside, "Bring Fu Zhu up." ”

The guards guarding the door agreed, and ran out quickly, and after a while, Fu Zhi was brought up by two guards, but he was not bound, after all, a literati, in Lu Bu's territory, wanted to escape, even if he was put on the street, he couldn't do it, and the night owl guard could take him down at any time.

"Mr. Gonghe, are you still used to this time?" Lu Bu looked at Fu Zhu and smiled.

"Thank you, Champion, for your kindness." Fu Zhu puffed up his chest and looked at Lu Bu: "Champion Hou's subordinates are not embarrassed by the award, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, but loyal ministers don't serve the two masters, and Champion Hou still don't have to worry about it." ”

Pang Tong looked at Lu Bu gloatingly with his hands folded, he wanted to see how Lu Bu was going to make himself bored in front of frustration.

"Don't worry." Lu Bu waved his hand, motioned for Fu Zhi to sit down, and said: "Mr. Gaoyi, it has been explained that day, and Bu does not want to tarnish Mr. to clear his name, if the time arises in the future, the general is willing to pay enough to redeem Mr., and Mr. can naturally return to his hometown." ”

The general is naturally referring to Yuan Shao.

"Thank you for your understanding, I don't know if the champion Hou is here, what's the matter?" glanced at Lu Bu unexpectedly, the expression on his face softened a little, and he looked at Lu Bu with some doubts.

Not good!

Pang Tong suddenly had a bad premonition, and he fell into Lu Bu's trap.

"Although Bu is willing to raise Mr., when the general is willing to redeem Mr., Bu will definitely not be in trouble, but since Mr. is unwilling to be loyal to me, now that Yongliang is short of food, Mr. will not always eat and drink for nothing, and eat here with me, right?" Lu Bu smiled: "There is a problem, I need Mr. to help, of course, I just ask Mr. to help, and I have no intention of making Mr. loyal to me." ”

Frustrated gave Lu Bu a glance, his face was a little unpleasant, and he said as if he was willing to eat and drink for nothing from you, but his words were not coarse, and he didn't want to worry about Lu Bu in this matter, but this kind of monarch, throughout the ages, is probably the only one, and he arched his hand with a dark face: "But please make it clear to the general, as long as you don't let the grant to our army do the right thing, you won't shirk the award." ”

"Very good, sir, rest assured, this matter originated in the Western Regions." Lu Bu said with a smile: "Although the Western Regions have been pacified now, but the 36 countries of the Western Regions, it is extremely difficult to govern, several military divisions under Bu are in important positions, it is not easy to leave, and the rest of the sons are not competent, so I want to ask Mr. to go to the Western Regions to help me govern the Western Regions, this is not limited to Bu advantage, as long as the Western Regions are stable, no matter who wins the world in the future, my Han territory is more than before, how can it expand thousands of miles?" It is really a meritorious work in the cause of a thousand years, Bu wants to ask Mr. to see the people in the world, help me, Bu Ke promised, short for one year, long for three years, if three years later, the general has not sent someone to redeem Mr., Bu is still willing to let Mr. free. ”

Instinctively, Fu Zhu felt that something was wrong, but what was wrong, he couldn't say it for a while, and Lu Bu's conditions were also very generous, indicating that within three years, as long as Fu Zhu was willing to help Lu Bu, no matter whether Yuan Shao sent someone to redeem him or not, he would be free, which seemed to be more beneficial to him.

After thinking about it, Fu Zhu nodded and said, "I hope that Champion Hou can keep his promise." ”

"Sir, rest assured, today's words, the sky is proof, if Lu Bu embarrasses Mr. for any reason in three years, the heavens will be destroyed!" Lu Bu said solemnly.

The ancients were still very fearful of ghosts and gods, and they also took the oath very seriously, especially when it came to Lu Bu's status and status, breaking the oath, not to mention whether it would be destroyed by heaven and earth, at least it would make people's teeth cold, and he nodded silently: "The award is only an agent, not the champion Hou Yulu." ”

"Good!" Lu Bu nodded solemnly. (To be continued.) )
