The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 609 Incorporating the White Wave Thief

A few days ago, Lu Bu received a [-]-mile urgent call from Chang'an Kuaima.

The letter mentions that Song Jian, who was entrenched in Fanghan, rebelled again, claiming to be the King of Heshou Ping Han, and openly entrusting all the officials, his heart can be punished.

Ma Teng and Han Sui joined forces, but they couldn't win, so they asked the court for help.

However, the imperial court couldn't take action at all at this time. After allocating [-] soldiers to leave the customs, the troops everywhere were extremely tight, and it was difficult to mobilize for a while.

So, Ma Chao, who stayed in Chang'an, asked to go to the battle, went to the East Qiang to find the elders, borrowed [-] Qiang soldiers, and went to Xiliang.

Upon learning of this, all the generals under Lu Bu's tent were filled with righteous indignation and demanded to send troops to conquer Xiliang.

However, in this case, the teacher is bound to return to court.But the purpose of leaving the customs this time is to sweep across the north, wipe out Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and other princes big and small, and complete the unification of the northern border.

Going back like this now made Lu Bu feel unwilling.

Fortunately, God opened his eyes, at the critical moment, he sent tens of thousands of Baibo soldiers.

Although these bandit soldiers are lax in military discipline and generally low in combat effectiveness, they have been on the battlefield after all, and they are much stronger than ordinary people.

If you train over time, you will surely become a qualified army.

"If you want to follow me, you must first defeat the barbarians of the Guishuang Empire in the Western Regions. Prove it to me, and to the world, that you are strong, and you have the qualifications!"

Under the gaze of thousands of people, Lu Bu shouted loudly, and announced in public that he would form an army to fight the rebellion in Xiliang, called "Zhu Yi", and would only recruit [-] soldiers.

After hearing Lu Bu's words, the faces of the soldiers present were all excited, and the backs of their clenched fists were bulging with veins.

Afterwards, Lu Bu also publicly promised that as a soldier who was conscripted, his family would get the corresponding land in Hedong, Hanoi or Bingzhou; annual tax exemption.

It can be said that this can be regarded as the best condition that the thieves have ever heard.

It was so good that it made people suspicious, and many thieves asked in awe: "Da Sima, are you telling the truth?"

Among them, many were deserters from the military camp, and they also knew the specific situation in some military camps.

I have been a soldier for a long time, but I have never heard that the imperial court will subsidize land for their family, and they will be exempted from tax for three years.

How could such a good thing fall in front of them for no reason.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the soldiers under my command whether it is true or not."

Lu Bu said it lightly, since others are willing to sacrifice their lives for him, of course he must give back the best to them. This is Lu Bu's idea.

Hearing Lu Bu's statement, the bandit soldiers no longer had any doubts, and rushed to get up, raised their arms, and roared loudly.

"I would like to go!"

"Count me in!"

"And I!"

For a time, the crowd was full of voices.

Some of them joined Baibo Pirates before, some were forced by life, some for themselves, some for their families, and some for the little unknown dreams in their hearts.

In short, the premise is to live.

Seeing the excited expressions of the thieves under his command, a look of astonishment flashed across Yang Feng's face. In less than half an hour, Lu Bu turned the soldiers and horses that belonged to him into his.

This also indirectly led to Yang Feng becoming a polished commander with no military power, except for a few confidantes under his command.

But this is pretty good, at least it won't make Lu Bu suspicious of him anymore.

Yang Feng looked at it quite openly, and didn't care about the gains and losses at this moment, as the saying goes, one loses one's horse, but one knows it is not a blessing.

All the thieves and soldiers in the field wished to go loudly, and the voice of shouting was in full bloom under this blue sky, and it lasted for a long time.

There was a smile on Lu Bu's face, this is the heroism that I should have!
Later, he ordered Li Feng and Xue Lan to be responsible for the recruitment and registration.

The more than one hundred thousand Baibo thieves are not all young and strong, and a certain proportion are also old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are also many women and children mixed in.

Lu Bu wanted to select [-] soldiers from these soldiers, train them intensively, and transfer them to Xiliang.

As for why not recruit more, the main reason is that conditions do not allow it.

Once the [-] soldiers entered the barracks, they would definitely buy weapons and armors. They must not be allowed to fight the rebels in their tattered clothes. It would be almost the same as sending them to death.

And the money that these equipment will cost will undoubtedly be an astronomical figure.

The reconstruction of Liangzhou Jiaqi a few days ago almost exhausted the financial resources that Bingzhou could spare.

As for the imperial court, there is no need to count on it. The national treasury has been in a state of negative income for these years.

Originally, he wanted to wait until Bingzhou established a Hushi market to communicate with other countries in the Western Regions to increase income, but now Song Jian has made such a toss, and the hard-won trade routes he established are wasted.

With no guarantee of safety, those businessmen in the Western Regions naturally rarely came here willing to take risks.

As for the rebel soldiers who failed to join the army camp, Lu Bu allocated them land in Bingzhou for farming.

Of course, these distributed lands will no longer be completely free as before.Instead, they need to be tenant farmers, who have been farming for five years, and have no record of committing crimes. They can only be transferred to their own after they are approved by the government.

It is also an important program to increase tax revenue and stabilize the population.

Of course, if there is a woman in his family who is willing to marry an officer under Lu Bu's command, he can get the privilege of reducing the time for two years, and he can directly obtain the land ownership without government approval.

This is undoubtedly a great thing for the people.

As soon as this policy came out, the officers and men under Lu Bu's command became very popular among the audience.

This also indirectly solved the problem of a large number of bachelors, and played a certain role in promoting the population growth of the Han Dynasty.

After rectifying the Baibo thieves, Lu Bu led the three armies to the outside of Dongjun City.

Seeing Lu Bu's arrival, the soldiers on the tower almost wept with joy, their eyes were red, and it was hard to hide their excitement.

With Lu Bu here, they no longer have to worry about the Baibo bandits coming to capture Dongjun.

Who is Lu Bu?

He is a hero recognized by the people and the god of war in the hearts of soldiers and generals.

All the soldiers on the tower, including the county guard Hong, thought so.

The gate of the city was opened, and Lu Bu, with his back against the sun, rode a red dodder and slowly entered the city.

When they came to the Sheriff's Mansion, the Sheriff's Guard Hong greeted Lv Bu and invited Lv Bu to sit down.

Then he reported to Lu Bu the battle situation in the past two days. At this time, he didn't know that the Baibo bandits had been included by Lu Bu.

After the official report was over, Lu Bu and Wei Hong said, "Guardian Wei, let me introduce someone to you, and please look at me, don't be too embarrassing."

Wei Hong didn't think much about it, and replied politely: "Great Sima speaks seriously, how dare I be an official."

Seeing Wei Hong's response, Lu Bu felt relieved, and said to the outside of the hall, "Come in."
