Chapter 41: Lü Bu's Conditions
At the beginning, he gave himself a dismount, Chen Xiaochu understood very well what Lu Bu meant, in history, whether it was Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, who got Lu Bu's strength, or Yuan Shao and Liu Bei later, they were all the same in the end, and they were counterattacked by Lu Bu's powerful power.

"It's because I'm weak that I took refuge in me." Chen Xiaochu thought to himself in his heart, "Why does the weak Liu Bei know what kind of person Lu Bu is, but he still wants to take in the other party?" Is Liu Bei stupid, or are those who mock him stupid. ”
Thinking of the threat that Anne has to herself at this moment, if she can't let the other party have any scruples and change her mind within ten days, tens of thousands of Roman troops will destroy everything she currently has, even if she can continue to live with Zhao Yun's protection, she can only survive on someone else's territory. "Liu Bei is not a fool, he is just facing a huge threat from Cao Cao and wants to get power, no one knows what the future will look like, but in the face of threats, he can only seize all the power that can be used to survive himself."
Chen Xiaochu met Lu Bu's eyes and said resolutely: "Lu Bu, I know that your strength is not something I can control, but since you want to get what you want from me, then we have the basis for cooperation, I need strength, I need more reinforcement people to assist, what you once got from Liu Bei, I can also give it to you, but remember one thing, my enemy is your enemy, my ally is your ally, I only ask you to do this." ”
"You actually mentioned Liu Bei to me." Lu Bu smiled: "Aren't you afraid, I thought you would be very resistant." ”
Chen Xiaochu looked at Lu Bu with a firm look in his eyes and said: "Afraid, who won't be afraid if you get your strength, no matter what the future holds, the current difficulties are what I need to get through the most, so I need you, even if Liu Bei comes again in Xuzhou back then, he will not hesitate to accept you." Because the environment and the purpose are the same, it is not difficult to make a choice. ”
"Sounds good, how are you going to accept and arrange for us to join the state army?" Lu Bu looked at Chen Xiaochu with interest and asked.
Chen Xiaochu stretched out his hand to the back with his body sideways, and then said: "The land on the north bank of the river, with you stationed, the grain and grass of your entire army will be supplied by me, as long as you comply with the requirements I just said, and the state army will be under my command from now on." ”
Driving the horse forward and approaching Lu Bu, after saying those words, Chen Xiaochu felt that Lu Bu didn't seem to be so terrifying, because he could see from his eyes that he needed his own existence, so this was something that could be used.
"Are you scared, Lu Bu." Chen Xiaochu looked directly at the other party and said, "You don't seem to understand how powerful my enemy may be. ”
"Chen Xiaochu, do you know why I am the first person in the world?" Lu Bu smiled: "There is no kind of enemy army that can make me feel afraid. ”
"My enemy may be more than 10,000 strong men in armor, and there are many unknown enemy generals, I don't know anything about them, do you dare to be an enemy of such an enemy?" Chen Xiaochu asked.
Carrying Fang Tian's halberd on his shoulder, Lu Bu smiled: "Ten thousand people? Haha, how powerful the troops of the Eighteenth Road Princes were back then, in my opinion, they were all just Tuji Val, not to mention 10,000 people, 100,000 people, I Lu Bu can defeat you. ”
Suddenly approaching Chen Xiaochu, and then pulling the reins of Da Wanma, Lu Bu smiled wantonly: "Take you to see the tiger and wolf division of our state." ”
"Lu Bu, what are you doing?" Zhao Yun saw that Lu Bu was holding Chen Xiaochu's reins, and immediately patted his horse and said.
"Don't be nervous, Zhao Yun, we will be companions in the future, take your young lord to see the soldiers of my and state army, haha." Lu Bu manipulated the red rabbit horse to avoid Zhao Yun's obstruction, and led the Dawan horse to gallop towards the Bingzhou army array.
"Zhao Yun, it's okay, he won't hurt me." Suddenly being led away by Lu Bu, Chen Xiaochu was also startled, but when he saw the extremely loyal Zhao Yun beside him, his heart suddenly became much more steady, and he immediately pretended to be calm.
Seeing Zhao Yun chasing Chen Xiaochu away, Ma Dai looked at his face with some hesitation Ma Chao said: "Big brother, are you going to change your mind, this person named Chen Xiaochu seems to have decided to accept Lu Bu's state army." ”
"I didn't expect to be mixed with people like Lu Bu." Ma Chao looked at Bai Ma Yi and continued with a calm look: "But this kid who was embraced by Zilong seems to have some shining points on his body that we haven't found, maybe we don't see people deeply, we can get Zilong's support and cherishment, there is nothing bad about staying here, this kid's strength is even weaker than we imagined, there are only 2,000 soldiers and horses, we will become a very important existence." ”
"Big brother doesn't want to be the enemy of General Zilong, haha." Ma Dai saw through Ma Chao's mind and broke the way with a word.
"We are no better than Lu Bu's guy, and the state army has robbed more than us, and our grain and grass are almost unable to hold on, which is also an important reason, if we continue like this, we can only continue to loot." Ma Chao said helplessly, no matter how strong an army is, it is impossible to survive if it offends everyone, if you don't let the soldiers be fed, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, it will come to naught, and looting is always the next strategy to tear your face with one side of the force.
"The will to fall into battle, there is death but no life." A high-pitched shout rang out, causing the horses to writhe uneasily.
"This is Gao Shun, behind him are eight hundred soldiers trapped in the camp, is it brave?" When he came to the place where the Bingzhou army was arrayed, Lu Bu did not let go of the reins of Da Wanma, looked at Chen Xiaochu and asked with a smile.
"Good." Chen Xiaochu felt that his eardrums were shaken by the shout just now, these wild Hanzi, the equipment on their bodies is somewhat similar to the Romans, they are all heavy armor, big shields, the difference is that these trapped camps are also carrying bows and crossbows on their backs, which makes Chen Xiaochu a little surprised.
The general named Gao Shun glanced at himself, and then bowed casually, but said nothing.
"And the state of the iron horse." Lu Bu raised the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, making everyone in the Bingzhou army look at him, and suddenly all kinds of weapons were raised one after another, accompanied by the shouts of the Bingzhou army like ocean waves.
"Female general?" The sharp-eyed Chen Xiaochu looked at the passionate Bingzhou Iron Horseman, and actually escorted a carriage in the core area, and there was actually a female general riding a horse in front of this carriage.
Lu Qiling also noticed Chen Xiaochu's gaze, and also shifted her gaze to look at Chen Xiaochu.
"There are more than 800 foot soldiers and more than 1,000 cavalry, as long as you allow me to have the right to recruit troops freely from your territory, and the state army will be at your disposal from now on." Lu Bu was very satisfied with the performance of his army, looked at Chen Xiaochu and said, looking forward to his answer.
"The right to free recruitment?" Chen Xiaochu retracted his gaze at the state army, looked at Lu Bu and thought in his heart, is this his condition?
Zhao Yun, Liao Hua and others under Chen Xiaochu, although the army has its own subordinates, but they still need their own permission to expand the army, and the existing settlements are very scarce manpower, so they are all military control methods, whether it is the service of the people, or the formation of a zero-hour militia group to establish local defense, in the end, they need their own consent.
Lu Bu's condition was to recruit troops freely, which meant that he could expand his army without his permission, and he would also provide him with military rations.
"That's why Yuan Shao and the others are suspicious of you, no one would dare to take in an uncontrolled army." Chen Xiaochu thought for a while and said: "Yes, I can give you the right to recruit troops freely, but there is one thing you must be guarded, you must not force any people to join your army, you can send people to all the settlements and bazaars under my governance to set up some recruitment, but if something happens that is forced, that is the beginning of the collapse of the foundation of our cooperation." ”
Lu Bu laughed when he heard this, "Casual people, we don't accept them from the state army, we don't want those peasants, but those who don't want to be peasants." ”
