Chapter Seventy-Four: Lu Bu who holds a grudge
Lu Bu was scolded by Qiao Gong, and then angrily stopped visiting the Lujiang family.
Lin Mo agreed, it would be good if this situation didn't go now, Qiao Gong was respected among the people of Lujiang, and if he didn't get it, most of the other big families would also be able to deduce the appearance.
This contradiction is quite easy to reconcile, and it can be solved when Liu Ye comes back.
It is not only today that the scholars annexed land and refused to pay taxes in the local area, and it is normal for them to look down on Lu Bu, who represents the lowly nationality, because the two are opposites of interests.
But they didn't even dare not buy Liu Ye's account.
In addition to Liu Ye's prestige in Yangzhou, Liu Ye's surname Liu is too critical, he is after Liu Xiu, to a certain extent, he represents the imperial power, coupled with the identity of Yangzhou counselor, let the scholars cooperate, they should pay for it, and they should give grain.
Therefore, in many places, there was a situation where the imperial power was suppressed, and the scholars tried to get rid of it while agreeing with it.
For example, Liu Zhang in Yizhou and Liu Biao in Jingzhou were typically puppetized by the scholars.
However, this problem does not exist here in Lu Bu, Liu Ye was pushed to this position was Lin Mo's idea, purely from the level of balancing the scholars, he is just a 'puppet imperial power' in the hands of Lu Bu.
Of course, Lin Mo knows very well that Liu Ye is first and foremost a strategist, and then a tool man, which cannot be reversed.
Lu Bu is not idle, the Lujiang River is particularly seriously flooded, I heard the locals say that since last year, too much rain has caused many rivers such as Changshui and Wanshui to burst their embankments, and many villages along the way have been affected.
In the vicinity of Anhui County, he even personally led people to build embankments, and the local villagers took the few eggs to thank Lu Bu.
The people who had never seen Liu Xun even dared to say in person, 'Wen Hou is much stronger than Liu Taishou', and Liu Xun on the side scolded in his heart.
Lu Bu knew very well that people like them, officials represented by the powerful families, would care about their lives and deaths.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here desperately from Jiuyuan.
However, there are too many damaged river sections, and this problem is a headache for Lu Bu, he wants to repair it, but he doesn't have so much money and so many people.
At this time, Liu Ye happened to come back.
"Wen Hou, I have persuaded Zheng Bao and Zhang Duo to lead their troops to surrender, and the two of them have a total of 15,000 mountain bandits."
Hiss...
Lu Bu smiled on his lips, but he was scolding his mother in his heart.
If you have money and food, you can quickly expand your army at any time, and the problem lies in a poor word.
Why did Zhang Ji run from Guanzhong to Nanyang to fight Liu Biao, and finally died on the battlefield?
Isn't it because I have no money and no food, and I want to plunder.
Every time there is an extra team of people, it is not simply to feed them, their equipment needs to be updated regularly, and they can't be missing, if they are injured and die, they have to be given a pension.
In Lu Bu's expectation, they should be disbanded on the spot, and then Zheng Bao and Zhang Duo bring a few cronies over, then no problem, this is 15,000 people, it is difficult not to panic.
Lu Bu is so poor now that he can't even get the money to repair the river embankment, how can he get so much money to settle these mountain bandits.
Therefore, when the two armies are fighting, the victorious side will be killed and surrendered from time to time, in addition to worrying about these people defecting, settling them requires a lot of expenses, and it is far less simple than wielding a knife.
I knew that I would let Zang Ba go, Lu Bu muttered in his heart.
"Very good, very good, the autumn harvest will be in a few months, and this year's harvest in Xuzhou will not be less than one million stones." Looking at Lu Bu with a melancholy face, Lin Mo reminded him in time.
Forget that the input of the Quyuan plough has increased the area of wasteland, and the harvest will definitely have to be multiplied several times.
The gloom between Lu Bu's eyebrows dissipated instantly, and today he saw how Yunwen was extraordinarily close.
"Wen Hou, Zheng Bao and Zhang asked them to lead their troops to arrive in three days, once they surrendered, the surrounding bandits would not be a problem. However, Tianzhu Mountain still has Chen Lan and Lei Ji, and they are making a wish..."
"You don't have to work hard."
Without waiting for Liu Ye to finish speaking, Lu Bu waved his hand again and again, if you go again, I will run away, "What, Chu Nan has already ordered troops and is ready to level Tianzhu Mountain." ”
Wei Yue has been very murderous recently, whether it is fighting Shouchun or Liu Xun, he has no chance to make a move, so he held back his strength, and just asked Chen Lanlei to vent.
It is beneficial to level a cottage, even if you surrender, I say that you have to do what you do, and you can also rob the money and food you have accumulated over the years.
Zheng Bao and Zhang Duo must have a lot of money in their hands, but if they are sincere, you can't rob them alive.
Liu Ye wanted to persuade him again, but he was perfunctory by Lu Bu with a more important task.
It can't be regarded as perfunctory, after all, it really takes Liu Ye to deal with these scholars led by the Qiao family.
"As a counselor in Yangzhou, this matter is incumbent." Liu Ye agreed very happily, he is very familiar with others here in Lujiang, and he has this confidence.
After Liu Ye left, Lu Bu rubbed his eyebrows and said weakly: "Xuangao, Zheng Bao and Zhang Duo's people will be handed over to you and Zhongtai to deal with, and you don't have to be polite if you should cut it."
In addition, let them keep the rules of the army. ”
"Whoa!" Zang Ba clenched his fists.
Zang Ba and Sun Guan are both born as Taishan thieves, and they know the nature of the mountain bandits best, so it is appropriate for them to train them.
At the end, Lin Mocai added: "General Zang went to find a respect, he has a blueprint for the damage of the river embankment, and when the time comes, he will take this group of mountain bandits to repair this neighborhood first." ”
"How did I forget this?"
Lu Bu smiled, clapped his hands and said, "That's it." ”
Free labor, no need for nothing.
Who can't endure this hardship, if you want to leave or not, if you want to fall into the grass again, the next time you meet, you will face each other.
"Report!"
A scout ran in with a bamboo slip in his hand and knelt on one knee, "Yu Wenhou, Nanyang will come to report quickly." ”
Lu Bu stood up and took the bamboo slip, which made Lu Bu frown at first, and then laughed happily.
News of the Battle of Wancheng!
Lin Mo knew that it must be this matter, so he hurriedly came over.
However, the above content made Lin Mo's expression solemn.
How could this be, Dian Wei didn't die, and Cao Ang didn't die either...
This is troublesome, Dian Wei is a fierce general, such a person is definitely a military general at the Daxu level on the battlefield.
One Lu, two Zhao, three Dian Wei, four passes, five horses and six Zhang Fei, this is one of the two fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms evaluated by later generations, the truth is unknown, it is certain that Dian Wei is indeed very strong.
Lin Mo felt a faint uneasiness.
Except that Dian Wei is a first-class warrior, the wheel of history has changed, which seems to tell Lin Mo that your prophetic skills will be completely invalid.
Lin Mo let out a long sigh, but Lu Bu, who was in stark contrast, was still laughing.
"Zhang Xiu, this puppet, when he was under the command of Dong Thief, was the same as his uncle Zhang Ji, and looked down on me, and Hu Zhen and Li Dao, these Xiliang people, breathed out of one nostril, and the brothers in Bingzhou under his command were often excluded by them.
Oh, I can't think of it, but now it's in this field..."
This is a kind of pleasure of raising his eyebrows, and his face seems to have written on his face that thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, don't bully the young and poor.
He didn't even hide his villainous face at all, and sighed: "Yes, he should be hunted down for a hundred miles!" ”
Uncle Yue's husband is quite vindictive...
Lin Mo scratched his head, it should have been six or seven years ago, and he hasn't let go of it yet.
However, this reminded Lin Mo, "Lord Yuezhang and Zhang Xiu know each other, why don't you try to collect it for your own use when the mountains and rivers are exhausted?" ”
