Chapter Forty-Six: The Tiger Prison Again
A woman carrying an infant child on her back kowtowed to the Qingzhou soldiers who distributed food.
"Thank you, thank you, life-saving grace."
Lu Bu saw that it was useless to take the child's sorghum, and immediately divided her ten catties of millet.
There was a strong man next to him, who went straight to the soldier who distributed the food.
"If the villain wants to be a soldier like you, he must accept me."
"If you want to be a soldier, you can go to the camp tomorrow to sign up and be selected."
Lu Bu and the generals looked at everything in front of them, and everyone also understood why Lu Bu was so bloody, putting food everywhere he went.
If you want to say that there is not much grain in Lu Bu's belt, why is there so much grain, because there are caravans that continue to buy from large households.
It is very suitable to exchange the high price of spirits and chicken essence for food.
Many princes knew that Lu Bu was trying to win people's hearts, but they couldn't learn it, this was a conspiracy.
Guan Hai next to Lu Bu couldn't help but shed tears.
Lu Bu turned his head to look, and Guan Hai hurriedly wiped away his tears.
Let the lord smile and think of some sad past. At the beginning, after the drought in his hometown, there were locusts, and the villagers ate tree bark and wild vegetables, barely making ends meet. The government not only did not provide relief, but forcibly requisitioned grain, and how many people sold their children and women. But if the government has mercy and gives less relief food, it will not make a yellow scarf.
Lu Bu didn't know how to comfort Guan Hai, and patted Guan Hai on the shoulder.
"Brother, don't worry, follow me, the days of starvation are over, as long as we work together, life is getting better day by day."
Guan Hai nodded heavily.
The recruitment standard of the Qingzhou Army is much higher, you must be strong, you must be strong, you must be young, from the age of sixteen, you don't want to be more than forty,
It can also recruit more than 1,000 people every day.
All the way, all the way to distribute food, all the way to publicity, there is only one slogan.
"I can't live anymore, go to Jinan County, be a soldier and get money, even if I wander and stutter."
There are many folk beggars: "If you want to go to Jinan alive, you will find Wenhou in Jinan, and Wenhou will give us a big nest." ”
The military advisor Chen Gong did not follow, he presided over Tuntian in Jinan County, but there were also capable people in the army.
Gao Shun proposed: "Lord, along the way, I found that the population of Yanzhou is more than that of our Qingzhou, although recruiting troops along the road can increase the barracks, if we can take Yanzhou, it will be very beneficial to our development." ”
"Oh, this trip to Luoyang is destined not to go well, Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Jia Xu are not easy to mess with, we have just taken Qingzhou, if we come to take Yanzhou again, we can't keep up."
Gao Shun nodded: "What the lord said is, come a little bit." ”
After walking for hundreds of miles for eight days, when Lu Bu's army slowly arrived at the Tiger Pass, it had grown to 8,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry.
Xu Rong had already prepared, there was a huge open space to the east of the Tiger Prison Pass.
Lu Bu'an went down to the camp, and tens of thousands of troops were neatly organized.
Cheng Lian, Gao Shun, and Guan Hai took turns training recruits.
Lu Bu came to the Tiger Prison camp, Xu Rong was very polite and invited Lu Bu into the Chinese army.
"Wen Hou, please."
"General Xu, please."
Lu Bu did not give in and sat in the position of the main general, Xu Rong knelt beside him, and Li Su accompanied him.
Xu Rong asked, "Wen Hou, why didn't you bring the main force here?" ”
Lu Bu smiled: "The main force? I've brought it. The main force of this general is 8,000 iron cavalry, Zhang Liao, Hao Meng, Huaxiong and other troops are in training, I have only been in Qingzhou for two months, and most of the time I am fighting. ”
"It turns out that time is so slow, I don't know what Wen Hou plans to do when he comes over this time?"
"Early tomorrow morning, our army will march to the east of Luoyang City, and first ask Wang Yun to return the bodies of my father-in-law and my father-in-law, and do things for them first."
Li Su pouted: "Lord, what Wang Yun set for the Taishi is a national thief, if we handle the aftermath, I am afraid that we will lose our tongues." ”
"What are you afraid of, the names of these three family slaves are already famous all over the world, as long as I don't care, who else cares? Moreover, in today's troubled times, Wang Yun is really for the court, and Cao Cao is really for the court? Or is he Yuan Shao really for the court? ”
Li Su was speechless, now that Lu Bu has set up his own door and is doing it alone, who cares about this?
In fact, everyone understands that for the sake of the court and the Han Dynasty, it is all, but it is just to fool the people and fool the ignorant people with this, those who understand understand it, and those who don't understand it don't need to explain.
Xu Rong felt very real when he heard Lu Bu's high theory, and immediately gave a deep salute.
"I don't know if Wen Hou can take a fancy to me, a veteran, if Meng Wen Hou doesn't give up, I am willing to saddle the horse for Wen Hou."
Lu Bu hurriedly helped: "With the help of General Xu, Bu is like a tiger with wings, let's compete for the world together, and return the Han to a bright future." ”
Xu Rong is a veteran, he has a lot of combat experience, and he has a very good set of leading troops to fight, not to mention that Xu Rong's 20,000 troops are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and Lu Bu is happy to have internal injuries.
Li Su hurriedly said: "Lord, I found a family of tomb robbers a few days ago, and obtained no less than 100,000 treasures, which were also presented to Wenhou. ”
Lu Bu nodded: "The military division is so capable, in the future, you will be the third army division of Qingzhou, and assist the general to conquer the world." ”
Li Su was a little depressed, Chen Gong, the number one military division, how could he also be the second military division, how did he become the third?
"Order, allocate materials, reward the three armies, and celebrate the official entry of General Xu and Li Junshi into our Qingzhou."
Xu Rong wondered, shouldn't he have allocated materials by himself, after all, Lu Bu came from afar.
As a result, Lu Bu was still underestimated, pigs, sheep, good wine, two thousand shovels and hoes, and five hundred axes.
Xu Rong was stunned when the things were brought over, what made Lu Bu so rich in just two months?
Pigs, sheep, and good wine, these are all easy to say, and you can get them by knocking on a big household, but a thousand hoes and a thousand shovels are all fine iron. In this era when wrought iron is quite precious, it is even used to make agricultural tools from fine iron.
Lu Bu was surprised when he saw Xu Rong, and took an axe in his hand.
"General Xu, please see, this is used to cut down trees and timber in the camp." Lu Bu said and put a copper coin on top of the wooden pier, and the axe in his hand clicked down, and the copper coin was broken in an instant.
"This, this is also a fine iron thing?"
"Yes, but Ben will take a name, called steel, good iron is made into steel, and here is a short knife made of steel for General Xu."
Lu Bu took a Damascus steel short knife and gave it to Xu Rong, who was very happy.
Getting up early in the morning, Lu Bu's army was preparing to pull out Luoyang from the Tiger Prison Pass.
The envoy of the emperor arrived and gave Lu Bu a lot of words of encouragement.
Canonized Lu Bu as a general of Fenwu, who can bring a sword to the palace.
Lu Bu laughed after reading it, this Wang Yun treated himself as a three-year-old child, and he fooled him by casually sealing a general?
Lu Bu slapped the table: "Open Luoyang and capture the national thief Wang Yun." ”
Lu Bu left Cheng Lian to lead 20,000 recruits to guard the Tiger Pass, and he took the cavalry of his headquarters, Xu Rong and Guan Hai, and the mighty army of 50,000 to open the east of Luoyang City.
The camp was stationed for several miles, full of tents, banners waving, and war drums.
