Chapter 47: The Harvest Season
After destroying Wen Chou and breaking the tens of thousands of Yuan troops blocking in front, Lu Bu ordered the army to rest here for the time being, and then go to Yecheng to join Zhao Yun after a few days.
Of course, if he could, Lu Bu would not have been able to march over immediately, but recently there have been a lot of mundane affairs in the north, Chen Gong is in Bingzhou, Jia Xu and Xun Yu are in Luoyang, and Liangle, Xun You and others who are following him are all strategists and weak in government affairs, so he still needs to make decisions about many things in person, especially in Julu County, the core of Jizhou.
I think that this giant deer was the starting place of the Yellow Turban Tiangong Zhangjiao, and then Han Fu took up the post of Jizhou Mu, which was also based on the giant deer, that is, when Yuan Shao was pressing step by step, he refused to let it go, this giant deer is indeed a little outstanding.
As the center of several counties in Jizhou, the terrain of this place changes, the water flow is turbulent, and there are more local people, through the righteousness of the yellow scarf, there is a bit of courage hidden in the chest, it is very difficult to subdue, I think that Han Fu was assisted by both soft and hard under the assistance of frustration, so that he temporarily subdued the local township, so that they were obedient, but that's all, if not, Han Fu would not have been forced to abandon the business and fled to Zhongshan.
Of course, from another point of view, it is also a great good thing to make good use of the courage of these people, at least for Lu Bu, as long as the people here can be educated, so that they can truly return to their hearts and obey their own discipline, then it is not impossible to use this place as a pivot for the situation in Hebei.
Although now the three heroes of Hebei are gone, the situation in Hebei is still a mess, and after Gongsun Du retreated to Liaodong and lived a peaceful life, Youzhou is considered to be unattended. So people from all walks of life appeared on the stage, some of them were mountain bandits who robbed their homes, some were poor people who were forced to gather in desperation to protect their integrity, and some were the former Youzhou generals who were under the command of Gongsun Zhan at the beginning, but were picked and selected by Gongsun Du. However, several counties in Jizhou have been pacified by Lu Bu, and the rest of the counties are under Yuan Shao's rule, but now Yuan Shao himself will go, and it is only a matter of time before these places are gathered.
Lu Bu knew that there were some things that he couldn't rush to, and what was more important was that he didn't have so many manpower in his hands now, that is, the Zhongshan Kingdom before and the Julu County now. It's just a simple arrangement of the guards to stay behind. And let the local nobles take charge of government affairs first, of course, they still have to be diligent to report the situation to their side at all times, there are troops stationed on the side, and there are also intelligence networks densely spread in Hebei as the bottom. Lu Bu also did not let them hide and deceive in these things.
Of course, Lu Bu did not completely seize power. There is also some sweetness for them. They can make their own decisions on small things, and only those medium-sized and big things that will never be resolved must be rewarded. Otherwise, not to mention some trivial things that are not worth Lu Bu's personal trouble, just say that this back and forth transmission of news, although it is not far away, it is always a trouble.
And Lu Bu also hinted that now he is just asking them to act as an agent for local government affairs, but if they can show good behavior during this period and satisfy themselves, he will correct their name as an agent if he can't get it, and he thinks that he has the name of the imperial court as a basis, and his words still have some weight among these local scholars.
In fact, whether it is Youzhou in the north or Qingzhou in the east, although the chaos of the situation has made it more difficult for him to pacify this side, Lu Bu did not choose to do it at this time, nor does he plan to do it in the near future, anyway, it is not a good thing to let them mess with themselves, self-consumption makes them neither form a dominant trend, and then pose a threat to their own side, but at the same time, it is more convenient for themselves to be subdued when the time comes.
However, if you don't accept it now, it doesn't mean that you will really stay still in the future, not to mention that there are foreign enemies around you, as well as Cao Mengde, although Lu Bu will not start with Youzhou and Qingzhou for the time being, this Jizhou is to settle down first, and it is also to prepare for the future subjugation of those two places, after all, the most important thing in Hebei is this, and when the time comes, under the squeeze of Merge and Jizhou, where is the problem on the side of Youzhou; It's just that Cao Mengde is already preparing Qingzhou to get his hands on, and it will take a lot of effort to get involved at that time, but with Jizhou as the rear support, it can also add a few points of planning.
In fact, Lu Bu also thought about going to Qingzhou first after this trip, after he collected some remnants of Han Fu and Yuan Shao at this time, including these reorganized troops who could mobilize nearly 100,000 troops, in the face of the remnants of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, it was definitely not to be afraid, and Qingzhou did have what he needed, and he was most lacking now, there were ready-made ones over there, I thought that Cao Cao hadn't received the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, which was known as one million, In the subsequent battle for the overlord of the north, not to mention the burning of the black nest and the luck of Guandu to overwhelm Yuan Shao with fewer victories, I am afraid that it should have been annexed by the other party a long time ago.
It's just that after thinking about it a little more and calculating with Liangle and them, I still gave up this idea for the time being.
There is a saying that is good, greed is not chewing, this sentence is used in learning is a truth, the same is true for expanding the territory, if it is just blindly expanding and not knowing how to advance and retreat, at most it is like the later Yuan Dynasty, the situation is too big, and it only took a few years to dump in the end, and the most important thing now is to consolidate the existing achievements, and steady and steady is the king.
Now Lu Bu's subordinates can be regarded as having three or four states, not to mention, the focus is on the men and horses under him, compared to the previous Yuan Shao, he can also be called a wide range of soldiers, this qiē is more because he occupies the land of imperial power in Luoyang, the number of military horses in the Sili area has always been large, after all, it is the land around the capital, and it is normal for the garrison to have more people, and for Lu Bu, whose territory is now expanding more and more, but his subordinates are slowly beginning to be overstretched, it is an extremely powerful supplement, not to mention after occupying the name of righteousness, A lot of talent that can be recruited from this.
Thinking about the four or five large territories under his hands that are not organized now, and the state is considered to be the real rear, and it is also the biggest foundation for him to settle down, with Chen Gong taking care of him, he can rest assured not to say, come down to this Sizhou and Yuzhou part, and the Liangzhou that stays in control, and then this Jizhou, these places have enough for him to worry about, but where is there still that extra spare time to take care of Qingzhou, which has not yet arrived, and it is more likely to need to pull out the teeth of the tiger.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh, frowned and said, "It's difficult!" ”
It's also difficult to be a man, it's difficult for a small person, it's also difficult for a superior person, and everyone has their own depression and suffering.
"What did the lord say?"
A voice came from behind him, and Lu Bu didn't need to look back to know who it was, Lu Bu didn't want to tell the other party everything he thought, although he might be able to solve some problems, but he already had his own ideas in his heart, so he just shook his head, and then thought of something, and smiled: "Speaking of which, the next thing is the season for us to really harvest." ”
Liangle raised his eyebrows, and didn't ask him much about the reason why he didn't want to go into details, but smiled and said: "Yes, it's time to go, and when I go to Naye City in a few days, this Jizhou-shaped shì should be settled." ”
Lu Bu sighed and said, "It's time to discuss how to talk to that Cao Mengde when the time comes, and go and call Gongda to ...... first" (to be continued......)
