Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 229 Truce
After the news of Yang Lin's pacification of Zhongshan came, Yuan Shao knew that the general situation was settled and he was powerless to turn back.

And the Bingzhou camp burst into cheers, and all the generals in the camp were gearing up eagerly to make contributions.

Lu Bu, who was sitting comfortably, also had a smile on his face after receiving the news. At this time, the battle went much smoother than expected.

Just wait until Yang Lin's army joins Gao Shun, then the [-] army can directly attack Anping, and his [-] army will attack Qinghe.

Yuan Shaokong has an army of [-] but has no power to spare. Under the attack from both sides, Yuan Shao will definitely be defeated.

"My lord, now that the army has seized Changshan and Zhongshan, there are only three places left under Yuan Shao's rule, and the cold winter has come. Do you want to fight again in the spring of next year?"

The military generals were gearing up to make contributions, but the civil servants were extremely opposed to Lu Bu's use of troops in the cold winter.

Even Jia Xu, who was usually taciturn, came out and cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "My lord, now the overall situation is settled, as long as the places are stabilized, hundreds of thousands of troops can be summoned in the next year with a wave of hands, Yuan Shao is no more than a clay puppet in the palm of his hand."

Seeing that both Jia Xu and Guo Jia proposed to retreat, Lu Bu was silent for a while, and all the generals waited for their lord's decision.

After all, Lu Bu's occupation of Jizhou was too short. If Yuan Shao could not be defeated in the first battle, and the war lasted for a long time, people's hearts in the rear might change, which would easily lead to disaster.

"The order was sent to Yang Lin to lead an army of [-] to guard Changshan, while Gao Shun led an army to guard Julu, and Yuan Shao was nailed to Qinghe and Anping. In the coming year, he would lead an army to wipe out the bandits in Jizhou."

promise!
In an instant, all civil and military personnel in the tent shouted loudly, Jia Xu and Guo Jia finally let go of their worries, they were afraid that Lv Bu vowed to destroy Yuan Shao, so they gave up.

Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, Lu Bu was filled with a deep sense of unwillingness, but now he is no longer the former general.

There are many states in Bingzhou and half of Jizhou under his rule. When he embarked on the journey of the princes to fight for hegemony, he was no longer living for himself.

The honor and disgrace of his family and the civil and military personnel tied to his boat are all on him, and he can no longer do things as recklessly as before.

In December of the third year of Chuping (AD 192), Lu Bu ordered Gao Shun to guard Julu and Yang Lin to guard Changshan, trapping Yuan Shao in Qinghe and Anping.

Then he returned to Yecheng with his victorious army. Although this battle was not as epic as Julu and Hulao, it also made the world know that Lu Bu's generals are capable of fighting.

This battle also changed the situation in Jizhou. Yuan Shao was already on the verge of sunset. On the other hand, when Lu Bu occupied more than half of the territory of Bingzhou and Jizhou, his aura was soaring.

Outside the city of Ye, a long black dragon was walking on the thick snow, and the banners, swords, spears and spears all over the sky shone coldly like a forest.

Wherever the murderous army went, the birds flew in fright, and the faces of the civil and military people who greeted them ten miles outside Yecheng were full of shock and fear.

Lu Bu's move was to frighten them with a demonstration, and the officials quickly buried their heads, constantly calculating in their minds, I am afraid that this general of hussars will start to manage the civil and military forces after he takes power.

hooho~
When more than ten thousand soldiers and horses came in front of them, there was a sudden burst of shouting, and the snow on the branches of the mountains on both sides of the sound was scattered, and the birds and beasts in the mountains were startled.

da da~
In the eyes of all the officials, a fiery red war horse slowly appeared, with Lu Bu's military uniform on its back, looking at them indifferently.

"Everyone, the victory of the frontline army depends on your full support to achieve this victory."

The indifferent tone echoed in everyone's ears, but they were no longer optimistic at the beginning, because Lu Bu didn't have the slightest joy of victory on his face, but instead gave him a heavy pressure.

In particular, some of the civil and military officials who voted after Lv Bu's army captured Changshan and the balance of Jizhou tilted, their palms were covered with cold sweat.

"Back to the city!"

A faint sentence of returning to the city finally relieved their worries. Lu Bu put too much pressure on them, especially those indifferent eyes, which seemed to be able to read people's hearts.

On the snow-covered streets of Yecheng, there are figures everywhere, eager to catch a glimpse of Lu Bu, the strongest general in the world.

The snow on the road had been cleared, and more than ten thousand troops entered the city in black, the common people lined the road to welcome them. Their joyful expressions were not all because they welcomed Lu Bu's victory, but because they finally did not have to fight.

Fighting represents war disasters, and war disasters have brought great pain and sorrow to the people. They are powerless to resist and can only hope that the superiors who rule them will continue to win.

In the Hushi General's Mansion in Yecheng, dozens of braziers were placed in the lobby, exuding warmth, and civil and military personnel sat in their seats.

The beautiful dancers in the center danced frequently, musical instruments beat beautiful music, wine and meat were continuously served, and the faces of various officials were full of joy.

And Lu Bu sat in the first place indifferently, listening to the reports from the subordinates of the subordinates.

"Post up the Annals of the People, so that everyone under the rule of Jizhou will know that Yuan Shao's treacherous son is at the end of his life, and the matter will be handed over to Kong Zhang."

Among the civil servants, Chen Lin stood up and bowed excitedly after hearing Lu Bu's words, "Thank you, my lord." Lu Bu ordered him to do this, and it was entirely to give him a chance to make meritorious service.

Of course, among the crowd, this person is also the leader when it comes to pen and ink literary talents, and Lu Bu's move is also to appease the hearts of everyone and let the world know that Lu Bu is not a nepotism.

"My lord, at the end of autumn, the Xianbei and the Xiongnu frequently invaded Bingzhou, and were finally repelled by Zhang Yun and the generals." Chen Gong mentioned the matter of Bingzhou's border in autumn at this time.

Lu Bu was also amused by the way Chen Gong stared straight at him stiffly. This Chen Gong also had good intentions and reminded him to buy people's hearts, but this kind of behavior is not acceptable to ordinary people.

"Okay! Zhang He will be rewarded for his meritorious service, and he will be given five hundred gold, and he will be the guard of the Yanmen Gate."

Huh~ After hearing Lu Bu's offer, Chen Gong finally heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that the reward is not high, but you must know the importance of Yanmen to Bingzhou. trust.

Of course, what Chen Gong was most concerned about was the significance of this award to officials from various places under Lu Bu's command. Zhang Yun was awarded the award without much credit for his surrender. It can be seen that Lu Bu's love for talents is also treated equally.

Chen Lin among civil servants and Zhang Yun among military generals made them see the promotion of local generals in Jizhou, and it was enough for them to know that Lu Bu did not want to suppress their Jizhou lineage.

"Gongtai, the war in Jizhou continues, and the people are suffering a lot. I entrust this matter to you. I would never want to hear that there are any officials in the area under the rule to fish for the people."

When he said this, Lu Bu flashed a murderous look. After hearing this, Chen Gong got up solemnly and bowed, and said solemnly: "No!"

This sentence is not only for Chen Gong, but also for all the officials. If any of the officials under Lu Bu dares to lie, the fish and meat people, don't blame them for not reminding them when they show their knives.
