Chapter 133: Huairou Policy
Fang Tian's halberd stabbed at Ah Gui like lightning, like the tentacles of death, without the slightest mercy.
Ah Gui only felt that his brain was blank, cold sweat broke out all over his body, his hair stood up, he shuddered, death came!
Suddenly, Fang Tian's halberd suddenly stopped at his neck, and the strong edge pierced half of his face.
"Why don't you kill me?" Ah Gui said in shock, the feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe surprised him, he didn't understand why Lu Bu didn't kill him?
"You've lost this battle, let your men lay down their weapons!" Lu Bu said coldly, Fang Tian's halberd was still on Ah Gui's neck and had not been removed.
Ah Gui's head was covered with beads of sweat, and he roared angrily: "Put down your weapons for me!" Put down your weapons for me! β
The Qiang people who were fighting around, hearing this, put down their weapons one after another, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, in the face of the fierce attack of the wolf horse, they were already unwilling to fight anymore.
All the Qiang people who put down their weapons and stopped moving, the wolf rider did not start the slaughter, and there were some who did not have long eyes or did not hear, the wolf rider was not polite, the butcher knife was ruthlessly swung down, and the flesh and blood were splashed.
The sound of fighting on the battlefield gradually weakened and calmed down, and the war drums in the distance also stopped, announcing the end of the battle.
"After this battle, if you return to Longyou, what will happen to you, I don't need to say it clearly!" Lu Bu said lightly, and Fang Tian's halberd was slowly withdrawn.
As the threat at his neck faded away, after Ah Gui took a deep breath, he almost fell off his horse, and the feeling of death was really uncomfortable!
The deep meaning of Lu Bu's words, how could he not understand. He instigated this battle. Now the army is defeated. Don't say that if you return to Longyou, those tribes who have long wanted to annex him will do it, and even those ambitious people in their own tribe will do it.
In short, his fate will be very miserable, this is the winner is king, and the loser is the villain!
Behind the top, the seizure of power, and hegemony is the merciless slaughter.
Lu Bu left Agui alive. Of course, it's not to pity this guy, but to use Agui to break into the Qiang people, make friends with these people, and use them for their own use in the future.
Liu Bei entered Shu to seize Hanzhong, and the relationship with these ethnic minorities was hot, in addition to stabilizing the tranquility of the border, he wanted to borrow their strength.
During the attack on Eastern Wu, there were countless ethnic minority tribes in Liu Bei's army, which were an important part of his army.
Occupy Guanzhong and dominate the world. It is necessary to constantly condense all kinds of forces, especially now that Guanzhong is withering. The sparse population will lead to a shortage of troops to a large extent, so it is also a good choice to absorb troops from these Qiang people.
"What do you want me to do?" Agui is not a fool, Lu Bu doesn't kill him, he still tells himself this, there is only one purpose, to win himself over.
Lu Bu silently looked around for a long time, and said, "In the name of the Son of Heaven, I want to crown you as the king of the Qiang people, how about it?" β
Agui fell into shock again, the king of the Qiang people? This sounds too shocking, the Qiang people are divided into Northern Qiang and Southern Qiang.
The Northern Qiang is distributed in the north, that is, north of Guanzhong, and the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other ethnic minorities live in the prairie.
Nanqiang also has two or three hundred thousand people.
In the eyes of the Han people, the Qiang people are barbarians, and they are not kings.
Lu Bu is now coercing the Son of Heaven, in the name of the Son of Heaven, to crown him the king of the Qiang people, the intention of wooing is naturally self-evident, and more importantly, if he accepts this title, it means that he will always become a vassal of the Han family.
"Why don't you?" Lu Bu sneered, Fang Tian's halberd changed slightly by an angle, and a trace of cold light reflected on Ah Gui's face, illuminating Ah Gui's face pale.
"I do!" Does Agui dare not agree?
"Good! Enter the city with me and meet the Son of Heaven. Lu Bu suddenly laughed.
The 100,000 allied troops, in addition to the tribes that fled from the battle, there were also the armies of Agui and the small tribes, and the soldiers were all disarmed and sent back to the camp, and the leaders of these tribes entered the city with Lu Bu, waiting for the reward of the Son of Heaven.
A great war has come to an end.
Befriending these ethnic minorities has a great impact on the overall situation, and those who are willing to bow their heads and surrender, Lu Bu will definitely be broad, but if they want to resist, they will be slaughtered!
Agui and other leaders came to Liu Xie's palace in Xining City in fear.
Although Liu Xi was taken to Xining by Lu Bu, Lu Bu did not snub Liu Xie, and all daily life was treated as the gift of the Son of Heaven.
The banner of the Son of Heaven, Lu Bu must definitely use it well, better than Cao Cao.
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru's treatment is not bad, but they are imprisoned in a separate courtyard and lose their freedom, for Lu Bu, these two will be killed sooner or later! It's just that the time hasn't come yet!
In the main hall of the palace, Liu Xie sat on the throne, panicked, since he saw Lu Bu's god-killing side that day, Liu Xie trembled when he saw Lu Bu, and he was even more frightened than when he saw Dong Zhuo eating human flesh and drinking human blood.
Lu Bu stood majestically with a sword at his waist, proud of all directions, more domineering and majestic than Cao Cao in history!
Jia Xu and the others are also separated on both sides, usually they don't invite Liu Xie to come out to discuss matters, but today is just to let these barbarians feel the majesty of the Son of Heaven and feel the grandeur of the king and the marquis.
Ah Gui and the others knelt in the main hall, panicked, waiting for Liu Xie's reward, naturally there was no reward, Lu Bu was still waiting for Ah Gui to go back and offer cattle and sheep to himself!
Feng, this is for sure, Agui was named the king of the Qiang people, and swore an oath to submit to the Han family forever, if you dare to have a different heart, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.
At this time, after Agui went back, he wanted to rebel, and I was afraid that he was also powerless, and those small tribes would definitely have to unite against themselves! Only with the help of Lu Bu's strength can he survive.
Some of the leaders who followed Agui into the city also rewarded them one by one, and they were all very happy.
Subsequently, LΓΌ Bu ordered people to hold a banquet in the side hall to entertain the leaders of these tribes.
"Lord, we are a big Qiang people, and the people of Longxi are all cheering, and they take out their own food to express their desire to reward our army." Jia Xu said to Lu Bu with a smile.
"The life of the people is not easy, we should not ask for their food, if they really want to treat our army, let us exchange it for the same goods!"
Lu Bu nodded, for these people who had been robbed by Qiang Di and other tribes for a long time, his defeat of Qiang Di was a vicious blow for them.
"Wenhe, Guanzhong is withered and the population is sparse, this is a hard wound for us! I want to Tuntian, what do you think? β
Lu Bu said that the problem of grain and grass had been pressing on Lu Bu's chest.
"What the lord said is reasonable, Guanzhong is depressed, the fields are barren, if we can farm the fields, we can greatly solve the problem of grain and grass."
A hint of strangeness flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, in fact, he had long wanted to propose Tuntian to Lu Bu, but there had never been a suitable time, and now that Lord Lu Bu proposed it, of course it was the best.
"My lord, we can also issue an edict to the outside world, saying that anyone who is willing to come to Guanzhong to open up barren land will be cultivated by peasant households, and no tax will be charged for three years!"
Jia Xu said again, in this way, it can greatly attract the people into Guanzhong and replenish the population of Guanzhong.
"Just according to the military advisor!" Lu Bu said happily.
Agui and the others were rewarded, happily left Xining City, and led the remnants of the army back to Longyou, Lu Bu temporarily decided not to intervene in their internal strife, and to deal with Ma Han first.
Ma Teng and Han Sui were still fighting, and the two sides won and lost each other, but after several battles, Han Sui still had the upper hand, so he gave Lu Buxiu a letter of peace, hoping that the two would join forces to completely eradicate Ma Teng.
Lu Bu ignored him.
Xiliang must be pacified, otherwise it will become a big disaster in the future, and the leaders are this Ma Teng and Han Sui, if they want to subdue Ma Chao, they must first destroy his family's power and cut off all his thoughts.
Three days later, Dong Yue rushed to Xining with 30,000 Xiliang soldiers.
He didn't want to come to Xining, but the grain and grass were all in Lu Bu's hands, he had to come, he saw that Lu Bu could buy grain from Zhang Lu's hands, so he also wanted to buy grain, but the real problem was that he had no money.
"Brother Dong! You're finally here! I've been waiting for you for a long time! I miss you so much! β
The first sentence Lu Bu said when he saw Dong Yue, he almost made Dong Yue squirt blood, do you want me? You're trying to take my military power!
"Wen Hou, I miss you so much! It's all to blame for Ma Teng and Han Sui's two old bastards who rebelled and messed up our good days! β
As soon as Dong Yue mentioned Ma Teng and Han Sui, he was immediately furious, who hurt him when he came to this point? - Ma Teng, Han Sui.
"Brother Dong, let's go, we must talk to our hearts tonight!" Lu Bu held Dong Yue's hand tightly, not allowing Dong Yue to refuse, and directly brought Dong Yue into Xining City.
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun led people to directly break into Dong Yue's camp, gathered 30,000 Xiliang soldiers together, and announced the takeover of the three armies in the name of the Son of Heaven.
Those Dong Yue's henchmen immediately jumped out and refused to accept the edict, waiting for them to have only one fate, death!
Zhang Liao held the edict in his hand, looked coldly at the soldiers who resisted in the field, and Gao Shu behind him immediately signaled to the soldiers around him, and hundreds of elites immediately rushed down.
This scene, Lu Bu and Jia Xu had long expected that these henchmen of Dong Yue would definitely be unwilling to let Lu Bu accept the whole army, and they would inevitably incite emotional resistance after the edict was announced.
Hundreds of elites rushed into the crowd, their eyes like torches, and as soon as they saw someone agitating, they immediately rushed up and chopped them up.
After a small baptism of blood, Zhang Liao and others peacefully took over the 30,000 soldiers and appointed a new group of generals to control the 30,000 horses.
From the moment Dong Yue followed Lu Bu into Xining City, he understood what Lu Bu was going to do next.
In the face of all this, Dong Yue could only secretly beg Lu Bu to let him go, and it was best to reward him with some property, so that he could live the rest of his life well. (To be continued......)
