Lu Bu crossed the Huaishui, took out hundreds of gold from his backpack, and asked the soldiers to go to the adjacent dock fort to buy food. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Lu Bu, so poor that there is only money left, nothing is just a lot of gold in the backpack, a string of numbers with more than 200,000 gold. The number representing gold in the backpack can be converted into real gold, which feels a bit like a bank card.

After a short time, the soldiers who had gone to buy food at the annex fort came back in disgrace.

Chen Gong called the soldiers to ask the reason, it turned out that there was a dock fort of the Mi family nearby, after the soldiers explained their intentions, instead of selling them food, they scolded them together with Lu Bu, Chen Gong did not dare to tell Lu Bu, once Lu Bu knew, with Lu Bu's hot temper, he must have ordered all the men and horses to attack the Mi family's dock fort. Is the family so easy to mess with? This world is not so much the world of the Liu family, but the world of the family. There is no reason to convince other families, and they will attack it easily, and they will definitely attack it in groups. Moreover, the Mi family is rich in the world, and there are more than 10,000 private soldiers, so it is not Lu Bu at all. When Lu Bu had the most soldiers, he only had 3,000 direct subordinates, and the dowry of the Mi family's daughters included 3,000 families.

Chen Gong asked people to ginseng the bark and leaves in the bad rice, and specially instructed Lu Bu to make it alone, and not to participate in other miscellaneous things.

When the soldiers brought the food, Lu Bu ate two bites, bitter, astringent and very rough, he really couldn't eat it, put the bowl on the table, looked at the map and repeatedly measured whether there was anything wrong with the plan to attack Pengcheng, he didn't have the capital to lose the battle again, and he was very cautious every step he took.

"How can you give this to your lordship?" Chen Gong came back from inspecting the camp outside, and saw that Lu Bu's food was the same as that of ordinary soldiers, so he said with a straight face: "Go and serve a bowl to the lord again." ”

"Strategist, there is no more food. Even the seeds from the village were harvested and boiled by us. We all eat bark under the meal. Xiao Xiong took Lu Bu's bowl and shouted at Chen Gong. At that time, Lu Bu Zhuangding said that he had food to eat, and he followed Lu Bu to work hard with them when he had money.

Lu Bu stopped Chen Gong, who was going to continue to blame: "I have already instructed them that the whole army is one, except for the wounded and treats them preferentially. ”

Lu Bu remembered that many historical records recorded that if a general was a soldier, he would eat and live with them, care for his subordinates, be sympathetic to his subordinates, and be united in his soldiers. If the general does not treat the lower-level sergeants as human beings and engages in class, it is likely that he will be centrifuged, and it is more likely that he will be cut off by his subordinates like Zhang Fei. Respect them, love them, and make them feel a sense of belonging, and they will kill the enemy with all their lives.

Lu Bu beckoned Chen Gong to go to the barracks together, and Zhang Liao was sitting next to a group of soldiers, talking and laughing and eating tree bark with them, although it was difficult to eat, these soldiers did eat with relish.

Lu Bu first filled a bowl for Chen Gong, and then a bowl of pots for himself, squeezed into a crowded place with tree bark, and sat on the ground like a soldier. The soldier beside him hurriedly stood up and wanted to stay away.

"Don't be nervous, come, sit and eat." Lu Bu took a sip of the muddy porridge, swallowed it with difficulty, and asked the soldiers beside him, "Is it delicious?" ”

"Good.... Delicious. ”

"You don't have to see outside, you are my Lu Bu's soldiers, and you are my Lu Bu's brothers. When I, Lu Bu, am so poor, I still don't give up, I really can't let the brothers eat a full meal, and I am ashamed of everyone! "These soldiers will never give up, if it weren't for the strict patrols, they would have been beheaded and scattered long ago if they escaped and were caught. Lu Bu is not Zhang Liao, he spends a lot of time thinking about how to go next, whether the plan will be seen through by Cao Cao, and the plan will be planned. Zhang Liao spends most of his time with these soldiers, he has been in charge of training soldiers for the past few days, and Lu Bu will also spare part of his time every day to watch Zhang Liao train soldiers, and occasionally guide soldiers in the skills of killing the enemy in battle, in fact, it is to show his face and let the soldiers know who is the boss. Otherwise, once the scuffle starts, the soldiers will not know the soldiers and the generals, like Cao Hong outside the Xiapi Gate, it will be a tragedy.

Now they are not soldiers for what to defend the country or what collective honor, they are soldiers just to eat a full meal. And more than half of them are the Yanzhou soldiers and Qingzhou soldiers brought by Cao Cao, and now they surrender to Lu Bu and can't even eat, and they escape from time to time.

While eating, Lu Bu asked the soldiers around him, didn't he go out to buy food? How do you still eat tree bark. The soldier told the whole story.

Lu Bu was furious when he heard this, and smashed the bowl on the ground: "It's too much deception, what kind of thing is the Mi family!" ”

He was about to attack the Mi family's dock fort, but was stopped by Chen Gong. This is a hornet's nest, it is not terrible for the Mi family to be rich and rival the country, but the terrible thing is that Lu Bu has lost the support of the family since then, and it will be miserable to be besieged by the family family, and culture, property, and food are all controlled in the hands of the family. Even if Lu Bu conquered the city, they didn't let the children of the family govern it, where would Lu Bu find someone to govern?

Lu Bu said with a straight face: "Hasn't Mr. understood yet?" I, Lu Bu, am afraid that I will not be able to get the support of the family. A few years ago, a certain governance of Xuzhou, why not look at the face of the family to govern, dare not damage their interests, Chen Deng father and son, Chen Qun and other celebrities are almost to the point of burning incense for them sooner or later, respecting them, entrusting them with great responsibilities, but in what way do they repay so? Now our army has no rations, Mijia rice and grain 10,000 quintals, a certain person sent to buy at a high price but was insulted, today do not destroy the dock fort, a certain shame to the officers and men of the three armies. ”

Chen Gong was speechless, on the one hand, he didn't want to hurt the interests of the family, and on the other hand, he didn't want to hurt the interests of Lu Bu, once Lu Bu started to attack the family, Lu Bu would be strongly resisted by the family every city and place in the future, and he didn't want them to surrender the city.

Chen Gong finished his worries to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was relieved: "In this way, so-and-so will wipe out the family and kill them until they bow their heads!" ”

Lu Bu would rather fight city by city, than want to be wronged, his own power is so strong that the family can't resist the time, their selfish mentality will naturally be put away, if they want to resist, then kill, or raid the family and destroy the clan, and kill until they bow to reality.

Chen Gong looked at the soldiers who had already assembled, and finally warned Lu Bu: "Does the lord know Wang Mang? ”

"I don't know."

"Wang Mang is humble and frugal, a corporal of courtesy and virtuous, and has a reputation in the government and the opposition. Because he harmed the interests of the family and usurped the Han Dynasty for 16 years, he was jointly rebelled by the family and ousted the throne. Now, how can our forces compare with Wang Mang? Please also think twice. ”

Lu Bu wanted to be furious when he heard this, he was afraid of wolves and tigers, so he didn't have to run around, wash his neck and wait for Cao Cao to pick it up, but another voice in his heart kept admonishing him.

"I have saluted first and then soldiers, but the Mi family does not know the current affairs. Now that you have insulted me, how can you forgive me? "If the Mi family sells grain to Lu Bu with interest, Lu Bu does not plan to transfer his anger against Liu Bei to the Mi family, and at this time it just gives Lu Bu an excuse to send troops. In this chaotic era, the emphasis is on being famous, otherwise the princes of the world will attack it. Lu Bu is not afraid, none of the princes and families in the world support him at present, they are all his enemies, one more is not more, and one less is not less.

Lu Bu didn't let Lu Qiling go with him, if this kind of robbery could, Lu Bu would not have come in person, and it would have a great impact on his reputation. He secretly made up his mind in his heart to arrest Liu Pigong in the Runan area in the future, give them the most powerful soldiers, and let them play the role of the Yellow Turban Thief... Oh, they themselves are Yellow Turban thieves, specializing in robbing the dock forts of the family, and Lu Bu himself led people to clean up those who did not know the times under the pretext of suppressing the thieves.

Lu Bu took people to the Mi family's dock fort and was dumbfounded, how can this be fought?

Mijiawu Fort leads the water of Huaishui as a moat, two or three zhang wide, the city wall is two zhang high, it is stronger than the general county seat, the family can be arrogant in the Han for hundreds of years, and it really has something to rely on. Although the Mi family was wealthy, they did not develop long ago, they still started as a business, their status was low, and the dock forts they built were so strong, not to mention those long-established families.

Lu Bu walked around the moat, and there was nothing to do. He didn't have siege equipment, and he had to fill the moat before he wanted to attack the Dock Fort, which he had so many men.

Looking at the shaking heads in the dock fort, he silently counted no less than three hundred private soldiers. These private soldiers are soldiers in wartime and slaves in the fields in their spare time.

If you want to attack the city, you need at least five times the strength of the stalemate for a long time to have a chance, and Cao Cao will not be long before he will return to Xiabil, and then chase after Pengcheng, and he will definitely not leave too much time for Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was about to retreat back in disgrace, and opened his mouth to say cruel words, anyway, he was going to break Pengcheng, and when the time came, he would put this account on Mi Zhu's head: "The slave of the Mi family listens well, a certain is the general of the Han Dynasty Zuo Wen Hou Lu Fengxian, and you and other dog slaves are humiliated by Yu X today, and he will definitely redouble it in the future." ”

As soon as Lu Bu's words fell, there was a fearless reply in the city: "The three surnamed family slaves are going to be arrogant, you are a traitor to the court, how dare I deal with traitors, if the three generals are here, I will let your head fall to the ground, don't get out of here!" ”

Being insulted in front of a little-known slave, Lu Bu was furious, and the people he hated the most were none other than these three generals, didn't these blind minions see that the weapons and mounts of their three generals were robbed? was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "If you don't settle your Mi family, you will not give up!" ”

"A certain is a dignified general named by the Son of Heaven, Wen Hou, you slander a certain is to slander the Son of Heaven, see a certain step on your little dock fort."

Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to cut down bamboo nearby to build a pontoon bridge, and he tested the depth of the water with a bamboo pole with a strong crossbow on the city tower, and the depth of the moat was only less than two zhang.

Hurriedly selected more than 70 soldiers with good water quality, let them each hold a bamboo pole, and sneaked towards Wubao from the north estuary, and Lu Bu himself led a large army to build a pontoon bridge in the south to attract firepower.

The people on the dock fort saw Lu Bu building a pontoon bridge, with a strong attacking posture, lighting wolf smoke for help, and organizing people to defend at the same time.

The crossbows on the castle tower were so lethal that the longboard soldiers dragging bamboo poles were shot down before they could reach the moat. These strong crossbows are huge, even the round wooden shield wrapped with iron sheets can't withstand it, it is really not easy to build strong crossbows, there are only a few on the city tower, if it is a strong crossbow in formation, Lu Bu has no way to attack the city at all, looking at the world, can arm the strong crossbow into the army, only Yuan Shao has this capital, and use the strong crossbow to give Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong to the sudden burst.
