Yu Fuluo ran away, and Lu Bu expected such a result. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although he was ready to fight a bloody battle with Yu Fuluo near Jiangyi, he was happy to see Lu Bu get the desired result with the superior method of subjugating the army without a fight.

Lu Bu had less than 20,000 soldiers under his command, and it sounded like he was a head better than Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others who were busy recruiting troops, but he was going to the north of Bingzhou, a sparsely populated, Hu and Han mixed border land with endless fighting, and if too many troops were lost in Hedong, it would hurt the roots.

The places where Cao Yuan and the others are located are all densely populated places in the Han Dynasty. Like Nanyang County, where Yuan Shu is going now, a county has a population of 1.5 million, and it can easily explode more than 50,000 troops. And once Yuan Shao takes Jizhou, he can recruit at least more than 200,000 troops.

Lu Bu had a clear understanding of the troops, so he was careful to use the troops from the beginning to avoid too high casualties among the troops.

Yu Fuluo led the strong men in the clan to leave Jiangyi, but there were still many Southern Huns who had not had time to flee in Yangxian, Pingyang and Xiangling, and there were thousands of old and weak women and children near Jiangyi.

It is said that "if it is not my race, its heart will be different", and Lu Bu deeply felt the same way. The Southern Xiongnu have been attached to the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, but as soon as they saw the weakness of the Han court, they began to rebel, and later took advantage of the opportunity of the rebellion of the eight kings of the Jin Dynasty to establish an independent state, which is a typical example of "not raising a family".

There is also a saying called "cutting the grass without removing the roots, the coming year is deeper than the people", the alien races around the Han Dynasty, greedy, do not farm, rely on plundering to grow, whether it is the former Xiongnu, the current Xianbei people, the Qiang people, the Wuhuan people, or the later Turks, Jurchens, all brought profound disasters to the Han people.

The Han people who make a living from farming are like industrious and docile lambs. Nomads who live by raiding are like greedy and ferocious wolves. The only way for the lamb to survive and grow is to slaughter all the wolves!

Lu Bu issued an order to the whole army, all the Southern Huns caught, regardless of age, were castrated into slavery, and if they resisted, they would be executed on the spot! The remaining women, children, and girls are not to be tortured and killed, and a Lu symbol is branded on each person's shoulder, indicating that these people will become Lu Bu's slaves and private property!

Lu Zhi has different opinions on such a somewhat cruel military order. He felt that Lu Bu was too cruel and unkind to do this, but Lu Bu refused Lu Zhi's dissuasion and resolutely issued a military order.

Lü Bu said to Lu Zhi: "The Southern Huns have been attached to it for a hundred years, but they still maintain the tradition of fighting on horseback, and they are very disgusted with farming, if we can't completely cut it off when they are weak, and when their population gradually increases, should we cede that piece of land for them to graze and raise horses?" ”

Lu Zhi was speechless about Lu Bu's worries, and he understood the truth of cutting grass and eradicating the roots better than anyone else. It has been several years since the Yellow Turban rebellion was quelled, but there are still the White Polish Army and the Black Mountain Army rebelling behind them, and in the final analysis, they still have not solved the problem at the root.

Wei Qi also had an opinion about Lü Bu's practice of castrating the Southern Huns without interrogation, but Lü Bu did not give him a chance to express his opinion. Lü Bu appointed Wei Qi as the official of the people, and asked him to recruit the Han people who had been hiding in the mountains back and return to their hometowns.

Since it was a march and a battle, Lu Bu's military order was the king's law, and no one could disobey it.

Chen Gong didn't care much, he felt that even if the Southern Huns died, it would be a good thing, at least the Han would have one less burden and hidden danger in the future. In Chen Gong's opinion, Lu Bu was able to resist the killing intent and leave the lives of the male Southern Huns, which was already extraordinarily gracious.

Lü Bu's army had completely blockaded the area of 300 miles from Jiangyi to Yong'an, and a large number of cavalry dispersed to Pingyang, Yangxian and Xiangling every day to capture scattered Southern Huns, and every day the captured Southern Huns were either beheaded, castrated, or branded.

The quietly flowing Fenshui bears witness to the constant slaughter, with dozens or hundreds of corpses being thrown into the river every day, and then floating on the surface of the river with hideous faces, flowing downstream along dead trees and dead leaves.

The Han people who hid in the mountains heard about Lu Bu's military order and saw the corpses of the Southern Huns in Fenshui, and they all applauded. These damn Hu people, this time they are finally dead. Those crimes they committed in Hedong deserve such results!

The Han people who had taken refuge in the mountains sent respected old men to Jiangyi to ask for an audience, hoping that Lü Bu would hand over the land to them for cultivation, and that they could pay Lü Bu a field endowment to support Lü Bu's army. This is the way ordinary Han people do things, if they want to get it, they will take the initiative to give, and they will never only care about themselves, regardless of the life or death of others.

Although Lü Bu had no intention of living in Hedong for a long time, he could not turn a blind eye to the requests of these Han people. No matter where they are, the Han people who are willing to engage in agricultural production are the most valuable productive forces to be cherished.

After some careful consideration, Lü Bu decided to put the six counties of Jiangyi, Linfen, Pingyang, Xiangling, Yangxian, and Yongan into the hands of one person. This person's name is Wang Yi, who was appointed by the imperial court as the Taishou of Hedong, and is now imprisoned by Yang Feng in the city of Anyi.

Wang Yi Ziwendu, a native of Niyang, Beidi County, studied under Taiwei Liu Kuan in his early years, and served as the Taishou of Hedong for less than a year, but he was supported and loved by the people of Hedong. When the Baibo army entered Hedong, he led the people to hold on to Anyi, buying time for Niu Fu to come and reinforce him.

After Niu Fu lost Anyi, Yang Feng took over Anyi, but he didn't dare to kill Taishou Wangyi, he was afraid of causing a joint rebellion of the big families in Anyi City, and he was even more afraid of angering the nosy Lu Bu.

Lü Bu sent people to Anyi to find Yang Feng's dignitaries, and Yang Feng not only sent Wang Yi to him, but also sent a group of officials from the county guard to go to Jiangyi with Wang Yi. Lü Bu and Yang Feng agreed that the Bai Bo army would not overtake Wenxi in the north, and that the area from Jiangyi to Yong'an would be governed and governed by Wangyi. How effective such an agreement will be depends on how strong and prestigious Lu Bu will be in the future.

Wang Yi came to Jiangyi City to meet with Lü Bu and Lu Zhi and others, and Lü Bu said that he had no intention of staying in Hedong, and that he would go north to merge with the state when the weather warmed up. Wang Yi and Lu Bu were not subordinate to each other, and there was no reason to ask Lu Bu to stay and guard Jiangyi for him. Wang Yi begged Lü Bu to leave him a thousand soldiers to defend the city of Jiangyi, but Lü Bu refused.

Lu Bu gave Wang Yi an idea, asking him to have a good relationship with Yang Feng in the future, and ask Yang Feng to come forward when he encounters danger, so that it will not be easy for other units of the Bai Bo Army to come to Jiangyi to loot and cause chaos.

Can the officials of the imperial court cooperate with the leaders of the rebellious peasant army?

As long as you find the right person, there's nothing you can't do.

The key is that Wang Yi himself must recognize the situation clearly and take the initiative to put down the shelf. Compared with Guo Da and others, Yang Feng has a long-term vision and will not ruin his reputation for some petty profits, which is very important.
