Lu Bu still has a lot of feelings for Bingzhou, this is not only his hometown, but also a place of fame, this kind of affection is mostly from the influence of the remnants of Lu Fengxian who has disappeared in this world, and the soul from later generations is less ruthless and cruel and self-serving, and more affectionate and benevolent, but once this emotion and benevolence are destroyed, the reaction that erupts will be terrible, and it is not something that a small merger can bear.

It seems that from that day on, a wind of terror swept through all the places in the state except for the two counties of Shuofang and Shangjun.

But in fact, this purge storm of merging state officialdom has just begun, and it will continue to exert its power in the future, but Lu Bu no longer focuses on this matter.

In contrast, there was a more important thing that attracted his attention now, that is, the great cause of unifying and annexing the state, and the first step to achieve it was to deal with the Southern Huns in Shuofang County.

Now that Lu Bu is sitting on the seven counties of the state, he can be regarded as an authentic prince, and he has an army of more than 100,000 under his command, which is already a medium force that does not allow anyone to invade lightly, but if he is satisfied with this, the consequence of stopping is that he will be quickly caught up by others.

What Lu Bu wants to do is for others to catch up, so he chose to continue to expand his territory when the situation in Bingzhou has not completely stabilized, and even strictly speaking, this is not an expansion, because Shuofang is already included in the territory of Bingzhou, and Lu Bu is just exercising his right to reclaim as a state pastor.

In the state pastoral system at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is no doubt that the highest governor of a state has changed from the original history of thorns to the state pastor, and the Tai Code is still under these two. However, by this time, the Han family was in turmoil, and the assassin who was directly appointed by the imperial court had been greatly weakened in terms of status and real power.

There are only thirteen assassins in the Han Empire, and Muye is already a great authority under the imperial power, not to mention that the imperial power of the Han Dynasty is weakened now, and the state pastor is a prince and the emperor of the soil.

But this did not satisfy his ambitions at all. Nor can he be able to take the initiative in the future situation. And this is not radical, this is a resolution that Lu Bu convened his subordinates to brainstorm and discuss, and Chen Gong, Liangle and others all expressed their approval of a certain amount of Cheng Dù, that is, Jia Xu, Tian Chou and others who were outside. It is also in contact with Lü Bu through guò letters. Seconded the motion.

For the choice between Sofang and Upper County. What Lu Bu did was actually a difficult step before an easy one, and the latter of the two was a little too busy for Shangjun because of the existence of Ma Teng in Liangzhou, which made the Qiang people miserable. On the contrary, Shuofang County is now stationed with no less than 200,000 Xiongnu troops, including the local Xiongnu and the Xiongnu army led by Qubei.

These are all combatable soldiers, in terms of numbers, Lu Bu can be said to have no advantage at all, and even in terms of morale, since returning to the state, he has experienced the war of the Black Mountain Bandits, Zhang Yang, Xiongnu and Yuan Shaojun, and the spirit of the generals and soldiers in Lu Bu's army has almost always been in a tense state, even the iron people can't stand it, and madmen like Wang Cheng have shown a trace of fatigue, but Lu Bu has to put them in the position of the first enemy.

This is going to mention the current situation in Shuofang County, since Lu Bu put back Fuluo and Huchuquan, this is really like letting the tiger return to the mountain, the two Xiongnu brothers are like fish in water in Shuofang County, if there is no humble storage zài, then they are the well-deserved kings of Shuofang County and even today's Southern Xiongnu people.

It's a pity that not long after they returned, they faced a huge challenge to survive, and between Huvro and Yufro, there was already a mountain that could not tolerate two tigers, and Yuvro did not expect that in a short period of time, the right sage king, who always looked like a good man in front of him, completed the role swap with himself, and spared no effort to hit himself.

When the war came, a catastrophe that Shuofang County had never seen before came, and there is no need to elaborate on the specifics, but this duel ended in a victory of humility.

Although the local Xiongnu forces in Shuofang County are not small, and the prestige among the Huns is quite high among the two brothers of the Luan Ti family, Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan, but after all, they have been away for too long, and the reorganization of tens of thousands of troops under their command has been completed.

And Yu Fu Luo and the two came over, at the beginning, it did bring the excitement of the local forces of Shuofang County and a certain amount of turmoil under the command of Qubei, but after Qubei controlled the situation by thunderous means, the situation gradually moved in the direction of his favor, and finally Yu Fu Luo and the two armies fought a decisive battle, with more than 40,000 people on one side against nearly 100,000 people on the other side, and the final result can be imagined.

However, this victory is also a tragic victory, after all, he is not as good as Yu Fuluo and the others in terms of military strategy, plus his thunderous means have brought some side effects, causing some backlash from his subordinates, and the military heart is not so stable, if it is not for his descendants to finally stabilize the situation, it is not known what the outcome will be.

And although Qubei finally won, he did not wipe out all the troops of Fu Luo, but only achieved a relatively active and dominant position in Shuofang County, if he waited until Yu Fu Luo took a breath, he would still have to entangle.

Therefore, it is a good time for Lu Bu to send troops to Shuofang at this time.

At this time, there are less than 50,000 people left under his command, and many of them are still wounded soldiers, and it is time to lick his wounds, even if he thought that Lu Bu would come to deal with him, but he was helpless, he was naturally unwilling to sit still, but on the one hand, he was already injured, on the other hand, what position Yu Fuluo would stand on was also something he had to consider and scruples, after all, as the defeated side, although Yu Fuluo had few troops left, he had a deep foundation in Shuofang, and he was not comparable to Humility, Even if it is lurking, he will not be able to find it, and it will be like a stab in his throat, making it difficult for him to sleep.

On the contrary, for Lu Bu, if he missed this opportunity, it would be much more difficult for Qubei to get a respite and then attack.

As for Shangjun, for Lu Bu, it can be solved later, after all, just like Yuan Shao was entangled in the situation in Hebei and had no way to manage the affairs of the three counties of Yanmen, the Qiang people who occupied Shangjun were also restrained by Xiliang Ma Teng, and there was no way to react to Lu Bu's momentum for a while, which was a good opportunity for him.

What's more, Lu Bu also knows one thing, that is, the threat of the Southern Xiongnu is definitely greater than that of the Qiang people, and it is self-evident which one to deal with first.

Previously, Zhang Liao had asked for orders to go on the expedition, but he was rejected by Lu Bu at that time, but in fact, he didn't need him to ask for orders Lu Bu also had to go on the expedition, but he wanted to go on the expedition in person.

Bingzhou now looks like a waste of waste, but it is no longer the time when he needs to be in charge at all times, especially with the submission of talents such as Zhaozhao and Fengji, Lu Bu has more available people, and they can share a lot for him, and these new people need to be in an environment where they can be more independent and trusting, in order to play better, plus Jia Xu is secretly helping to watch, Lu Bu is not afraid to let go more.

Lu Bu was turning these thoughts, and at this moment, in this conference hall, a voice that he would never have thought of sounded, and said: "I thought it was ......" (to be continued......
