Chapter 513: Eventful
After the recruitment of talents in Lujiang began, people from several nearby counties came to visit, and now in this troubled era, it is undoubtedly the most suitable to either go incognito or take refuge in a warlord with great development potential.
When the warlords are fighting today, Yuan Shu is completely finished, Cao Cao is also a mess of defeat, self-protection is a problem, Liu Biaoren is old and self-preservation, and Sun Ce is even more afraid to flee when he hears the wind.
In the past, Lu Bu's reputation was really bad, but in the past more than a month, under the careful observation of well-intentioned people, the reason why he had that notoriety in the past was very likely to be the malicious slander of other warlords.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, then Lu Bu is indeed much better than the legend, from the policy he promoted in Lujiang County, it can be seen that the means are extremely clever, and he can be called a capable minister in governing the world. The military discipline is strict, the army is everywhere, and the local people have not committed any crimes, which is really rare to see the master. Now in Xuzhou, more than 200,000 soldiers, it is the rapid rise of the career, many people see the general trend of the world, have come to ......
However, there are still more scribes, and they even met that Xu Shu, these strategists were attracted by the policies promulgated by Li Yunfei, ordinary people may not be able to see it, but the real smart people see a subversion, subverting the pattern that has not changed since ancient times.
The selection of people does not ask about their background, only to see the character of the person, Wenchen to the literary examination shall prevail, but the examination is not poetry and song but the matter of agriculture and business, the military generals shall prevail, and the comparison is not a single battle, but the marching array is in a favorable time and place......
It's just that there are still very few generals who can meet the requirements, and many soldiers have been recruited, and in just over a month, nearly 70,000 new soldiers have been recruited, and almost all the soldiers who once belonged to Yuan Shu's defeated troops have been recruited, plus the original 40,000 troops, which has rapidly developed into an army of more than 100,000.
In fact, Xuzhou is also recruiting troops and implementing new policies. More than 50,000 recruits were recruited in a little more than a month, and the total strength of the two places together has exceeded 260,000.
As for the lack of a good general, Li Yunfei is not in a hurry, he is ready to train himself, and selects nearly 1,000 of the most elite soldiers in the hundreds of thousands of troops, forms a guard, and takes him with him to train personally.
……
On this day, with 20,000 newly recruited recruits, he moved quickly in the direction of Jiujiang, in order to exercise the soldiers' ability to march quickly, and Li Yunfei himself did not ride a horse to take the nearly 1,000 guards and the 20,000 recruits to share weal and pain.
I didn't expect that the Jiujiang Taishou would directly empty and destroy several small cities north of the Yangtze River, and directly took refuge in his cousin Sun Ce, leaving a mess for Li Yunfei.
"Are those spies blind and can't see that General Ben doesn't even bring food and grass?" After reading the information, Li Yunfei could only say depressedly, why did he forcibly take away the people when he ran away, and even burned down the house, it was extremely shameless.
And according to the intelligence, the problem is really serious, because there are many people who are not willing to go, so many people drag their families to the mountains and hide, and those in the city, everything that can be eaten has been taken away, and even the houses have been destroyed, this is simply a scorched earth policy, which is really more hateful than robbers.
"The lord's prestige is great, and the enemy generals have long been terrified." Liao Li complimented.
"Are you frightened, I think it's a lot of harm, those people have been displaced and become refugees, and I can't get rid of it."
"Don't blame yourself, this fact is extremely hateful, and it is tantamount to a robber." Xu Shu also said a fair word, in his opinion, Sun Ben did too much about this.
“…… Yuanzhi, you take my guards, go back to escort the grain and grass, bring as much as possible, and I will take over Jiujiang first, so as not to cause any chaos. "If this matter is not handled well, it will be very serious, and cannibalism may happen, of course, if this matter is handled well, it will gain huge popular support.
Ordinary people are not those literati, whoever is good to him can let them live in peace, who can get their support, and what other loyal monarchs and patriotism are just floating clouds for ordinary people, otherwise the Yellow Turban Uprising a few years ago would not have swept the country in an instant.
When the "...... report" was about to leave for the vicinity of Jiujiang, another fast horse galloped over, but it was from the direction of Xuzhou to herald the soldiers.
"Lord, Guangling Taishou Chen Deng was captured by General Gao, ask the lord how to deal with ......" The herald handed over the letter, and at the same time reported the general situation.
"Shut it up and wait for it to happen...... Gongyuan, you continue to take the people to Jiujiang, and you must do a good job of appeasing the people! Yuan Zhi, after you finish sending the grain and grass, you will return to Lujiang and garrison ......" Li Yunfei quickly arranged, although he didn't want to expand his territory so quickly, but if he sent it like this, of course he would occupy it, saying that as long as it stabilizes, it will be all money and grain soldiers.
It's a pity that there are not enough generals who are in charge alone, so they can only divide the elite soldiers who have been trained for more than a month into several parts and garrison them at the top of each city for a while, maybe they will grow up slowly.
Among these elite soldiers, there are also many smart people, and they are serious in their studies, although the training time is not long and they are not good at battle, but it is still not a big problem to hold on to the city, and no one is born a general.
……
I have to say that today is an eventful day, I just returned to Lujiang, and I received an urgent military order, and it turned out to be the emperor's blood edict, which was nothing more than scolding Cao Cao, saying that he would monopolize the dynasty and kill Zhongliang and the like, hoping that Lu Wenhou could go north to kill Cao Thief......
To be honest, the Son of Heaven has no conscience, that Cao Cao is really not very bad to him, but he was deprived of his rights, of course, this may be a little uncomfortable for the royal family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and now Cao Cao has lost his troops, Yuan Shao in the north may go south at any time, and Lu Bu in the south may go north at any time, so the whole Xuchang is panicked, so after the Son of Heaven saw the opportunity, he immediately secretly sent someone to send out the blood book.
In fact, if Li Yunfei really rescued the Son of Heaven, he would still not return the rights to him, at most to ensure his glory and wealth, and he would definitely play the constitutional monarchy that can truly be inherited for thousands of years...... Take the brocade and quickly write a secret letter.
"Huyi, you take a team of people and horses, go back to Xuzhou immediately, and you will definitely send this secret letter to the military advisor in person!" He handed the secret letter to a young guard beside him and instructed, of course Hu Yi was not his name, but just a code name.
The young man took the secret letter, and after making a salute, he went out directly and ordered a team of cavalry to leave, doing things very neatly, after more than a month of training, he already had the temperament of a special soldier.
The content of the secret letter is very simple, transfer the blood book to Liu Bei, and then you can borrow soldiers and lend him food, so that he can destroy Cao, the reason is also very simple, he is in Jiujiang Lujiang and other places to help some Li people who have been displaced by the war, and he is really not available.
As for whether Liu Bei will go, it can be said that he will definitely go, now he is still bent on helping the Han family, as for whether he can take Xuchang, it depends on his ability, in principle, it should not be a big problem.
In the last battle, Cao Cao put the old bottom into it, as long as Liu Bei has the ability to move Yuan Shao and not help Cao Cao, it shouldn't be difficult to do this!
So what would Liu Bei do if he succeeded in rescuing the Son of Heaven? How can the Son of Heaven, whose prestige has been lost, command the world, and will Yuan Shao, who bears the brunt of the attack, listen? Obviously, it is impossible, and then Liu Bei will inevitably fall into the quagmire, he can support him, and occasionally send him some grain and grass weapons to support him against Yuan Shao. Then he can find a way to get his hands on Jingzhou Xichuan, as long as the water army is trained, the land of Jiangdong is not a problem, Li Yunfei is completely sure of this.
