Chapter Twenty-Six: The Advance into the North Sea
Liu Mu returned to his post and raised horses for Lu Bu, and Hou Cheng felt a little sorry for the red rabbit horse.
"Lord, you red rabbit never leaves you."
"It doesn't matter, just let the red rabbit horse go over when the time comes, and you can't find a few good mares."
Originally, Liu Mu had always had a hard temper, why did he suddenly soften today.
It turned out that during this time, Liu Mu saw hungry people going to the porridge shed to eat every day, and even after the construction site of the work-for-relief project started, the porridge shed did not stop, and several large pots of porridge were still cooked every day, and women, children, children, the elderly and infirm could come to eat.
A bowl of porridge is inconspicuous, but there are countless living people.
In this troubled era where human life is like a mustard, Lu Bu is willing to take money to take care of these vulnerable groups, even if he knows that he is buying people's hearts, he is worthy of respect.
But Liu Mu has never made up his mind, just now, my father suddenly came to Liu Mu in a panic.
"Woe to you, woe to you. Our donkey hurt Lu Bu's red rabbit horse, and now it's a big trouble, and my father can't enter the Thorn Mansion if he wants to apologize. β
Liu Mu's head buzzed, as a petty official who raised horses, he knew how much the generals loved horses.
"This thing is not easy to do, I will go into the city to apologize to Lord Thorn Shi, if you get forgiveness, everything will be fine, if not, you will flee quickly, and you will not want any family property."
"Okay, then you can go."
It was because of this incident that Liu Mu came to Lu Bu to admit his mistake, and just happened to meet Lu Bu who had a new idea, which completely solved Liu Mu's big trouble.
Liu Mu took office and began his career of planting grass and raising horses.
Early in the morning, the sky was clear and the sun was rising.
The 60,000 elite soldiers in the west of LΓΌ Bucheng have been initially formed, and the integration of the Bingzhou Army, the Xiliang Army, the Yellow Turban Army, and the Qingzhou Army has been completed, forming a new Qingzhou army.
Lu Bu and Chen Gong stood on the high platform and ordered a large number of soldiers.
Today is a large-scale military exercise, and the cavalry and infantry of each battalion are lined up in a neat formation and practice under the leadership of their respective generals.
On the high platform, Lu Bu nodded frequently: "Not bad, not bad, murderous, even the weakest Guan Hai has an appearance." β
Each battalion competed in martial arts, and after the formation exercise, Zhang Liao's department was the first, Huaxiong's department was second, and Wu'an's national department was third, and the other battalions had to be behind, and Hao Meng's anger was directly cursed.
Lu Bu announced: "Zhang Liaobu rewarded ten pigs and one hundred shovels. The Huaxiong Department rewarded ten pigs and one hundred shovels. The Ministry of Wu'an rewarded 20 pigs and 200 shovels. β
Hua Xiong was the first to have an opinion: "My lord, why is there so much camp in Wu'anguo?" β
"Although you and Zhang Liao have trained very well, the team has a good foundation, what is the foundation of Wu Anguo's battalion."
Hua Xiong stopped talking, Lu Bu was right, Wu Anguo really worked hard.
On the contrary, Hua Xiong has his own merits, he is more proud, and he is more arrogant to other generals, but he is very convinced to treat Lu Bu.
Next is the individual competition of soldiers, the comparison projects designed by Lu Bu and the generals, such as single-plank bridges, wooden walls, bidding guns, cloud ladders, archery, etc. There were not many participants, only 100 of them, all of whom were elite soldiers of each team.
After a fierce competition, the generals worked together as judges to select ten award-winning soldiers, among whom one of the soldiers had a special arrow accuracy, fifty targets, and the arrow hit.
Lu Bu announced: "The top ten will each be rewarded with consistent money. β
When Lu Bu hung strings of copper coins around their necks, the audience was boiling, this is really money, and those soldiers who didn't sign up secretly regretted it. Not only is there prize money, but also a bronze medal, top scorer, best ladder player, and so on.
I got benefits again, and I got face again.
The atmosphere of the whole army's training was high, the integration was relatively good, and the Yellow Turban Army gradually became accustomed to the life of the new barracks.
Chen Gong proposed: "Lord, it's time to start, the huge Qingzhou has only taken one Jinan County, and you, the Qingzhou Thorn History, have become the guards of Jinan County." β
"Tomorrow, you will go out with Ben General, and we will go directly to Beihai County, but the main force will stay in Jinan County."
Chen Gong also saw that Lu Bu didn't take the Yellow Turban Army seriously, and it was his cheap godfather Dong Zhuo who really had to defend.
"Then bring the five thousand iron cavalry directly under the lord, the three thousand iron cavalry of the Huaxiong department, the five hundred cavalry of the Guanhai department, and the one hundred cavalry of the Wu'an State Department. The other departments stayed behind, and Zhang Liao and Hao Meng were stationed in the camp. Wei continued to defend the city, which was foolproof. β
Lu Bu smiled: "Gongtai knows my heart very well. β
The military order was issued, and the bags were packed that night, and the next morning, the army set out. Along the way, Cao Xing had already led 500 cavalry archers out for more than 100 miles.
Cao Xing's scout cavalry was terrible, equipped with a Takahashi saddle and equipped with double stirrups. Each man has sixty arrows, and can shoot the bow in front of the horse, left and right, and each bow horse is skillful.
The marching sentinels were to inform the people and caravans to avoid the army, and to prevent all kinds of ambushes.
Like on TV, you can ambush the enemy by finding a random mountain col, and the enemy is too brainless.
This time the march was very fast, and the march was more than 200 miles in three days, and it arrived in Beihai County.
There are more Yellow Turban troops around, and there is a Yellow Turban Army of more than 20,000 people, which is actually playing the Guanzi Banner.
Lu Bu called Guan Hai over: "General Guan, is this team familiar?" β
"Familiar, speaking of which is also a brother of the family, Guan Cheng. If the lord can trust me, I am willing to go and persuade them to surrender. β
Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong, and Chen Gong shook his head: "General Guan, it's not that I can't trust you." Today's position is different, in Guan Cheng's opinion, you have betrayed the Yellow Turban Army, you were in danger of your life in the past, or persuade the two armies in front of the battle. β
Guan Hai heard it, too, after all, his position is different now, and if he cuts himself if he doesn't agree with him, he should be more aggrieved.
Woo, woo, the horn sounded, Guan Cheng lined up with his back against the hillside, this move was really clever, if Lu Bu's army had poor combat effectiveness, they could condescendingly rush down.
If they are not defeated, they can hide in the mountains and forests, and the cavalry cannot enter the mountains and forests.
In front of the position of the Yellow Turban Army, there were hundreds of cavalry under the banner of Daxu, the leader of whom was dressed in yellow, his turban was also yellow, and he held a big knife in his hand.
Lu Bu led the generals to also stand in front of the formation, and Guan Hai hugged his fists: "Lord, I am willing to go and persuade me to surrender, so I don't want to use troops." β
"Okay, stay safe."
Guan Hai went up with a big iron gun, and Guan Cheng also came over on the other side, without waiting for Guan Hai to speak, he pointed his nose and scolded: "Guan Hai, you ungrateful, pig and dog are not as good as things, have you forgotten the oath you made in front of the great virtuous man back then, have you forgotten the slogan that the sky is dead and the yellow sky should stand?" β
Guan Hai shook his head helplessly: "When people reach middle age, they have no choice, can't you see through many things, what are we making yellow scarves for, it's not for the brothers to have something to eat, a little bit of land." Now that Wen Hou has agreed to all our requests, why bother fighting and killing, put down his weapons, and come over and we will still be brothers. β
