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

Chapter 834
The field in September, looking around, is golden, like a golden ocean.

In the fields, there are busy figures of working people everywhere, harvesting wheat grain and sorghum in the fields.

The young children sang cheerful nursery rhymes and played and ran on the edge of the field. The people were sweating, but showed pure and simple smiles, telling the joy of the harvest.

The year of great prosperity!
After coming down from Yanggan Mountain, Liu Bian parted ways with Xu Guang in the Lun family, saying that he was going to Xuzhou.

At first Xu Guang planned to arrange hundreds of people to protect Liu Bian along the way, but Liu Bian said that this would only increase his eyes and ears, and would easily attract the attention of the government. He didn't want to expose his identity so early.

Xu Guang had no choice but to obey his orders, reluctantly bid farewell to Liu Bian, and then took the bandits to the south to find a new stronghold and continue to recruit troops.

Passing Chenliu, Liu Bian saw that the local people were busy with the autumn harvest, so he got off his horse and led the horse along the path beside the field.Behind him, followed by a man with phoenix eyes in a moon-white gown, with a seemingly ordinary face, but with sharp eyes, this is currently the most powerful person under Liu Bian's command, Chen Long.

Let go of the heat of midsummer and take a walk on the field path.The head-on autumn wind blows, especially cool.

Liu Bian paused, it was still a long time anyway, and he was not in a hurry to go to Xuzhou, so he chatted with the old farmer who was harvesting wheat in the field: "Old man, it seems that this year's harvest seems to be good."

The old farmer in the field had gray hair, and when he heard someone chatting with him, he stopped the scythe in his hand.Even though he straightened up, he was still a little hunched.

With a harvest smile on his face full of vicissitudes, the old farmer asked kindly: "Your tone sounds like a local, doesn't it?"

Liu Bian nodded, there is nothing to hide.

The old farmer went on to recount: "In fact, this year's grain harvest is not much better than last year's, but the grain distributed to our people has doubled by several times. All this is thanks to Only with Great General Sima, can we have such a good life!"

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Bian was rather curious.

People want to hear it, and the old farmer is also willing to talk about it, and the words are full of the little pride of the low-level people taking advantage of it.

According to the new decree, those who have old people and children in the family will be exempted from [-]% of the court tax; my two sons also joined the military camp under the command of the general a few months ago, and they will be exempted from [-]% of the tax; In [-], when he married a soldier of Lu Jun, he was exempted from taxes by another [-]%.

In this way, only [-]% of the tax stipulated by the previous court should be paid each year.

Not only that, the [-]% of the rent that was originally to be handed over to the lords of the aristocratic family has now been reduced to [-]% under the management of the general, which can be said to be a heavy burden.

In addition, the old man's youngest daughter-in-law was also quite competitive, giving birth to twins, a boy and a girl.The government personally sent a midwife to deliver the baby, and also rewarded four stones of grain, a chicken and duck, and a pig.

Speaking of this, the old farmer was almost elated, and he did not hide the joy on his face.

"The general is making decisions for our common people in all of this! Go and see, which household in the village does not have the longevity card of the general? Such a kind person should live a long life!"

"Others say that the general kills people without blinking an eye, and he is a terrible big devil. Pooh! It's purely bloody, malicious slander! The general is a god sent by God to save our people. Even if he kills, it must be murder. Damn thieves, they are against the general, and they deserve to beheaded!"

The old farmer spat rudely, and said angrily, as if whoever opposes Lu Bu is tantamount to his life and death enemy.

Glancing at the spittle spit on the ground, Liu Bian felt disgusted and scolded 'foolish people', but with the same smile on his face, he nodded in agreement.

After saying goodbye to the old man, Liu Bian led Chenlong to move forward.

I asked many farmers along the way, and almost all got the same answer, exactly the same.

"I didn't expect Cao Cao to manage Yanzhou for many years, but he won't be as popular as Lv Bu who came halfway. It really is a good trick!" Liu Bian said with a half-smile, but his words were particularly cold.

However, the people of Yanzhou only turn in such a small amount of grain every year, what should the court use to support the army's expenses?

There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers under Lu Bu, but they are all mouths that want to eat!

Thinking of this, Liu Bian suddenly showed a strange smile.

This seemed like a place to take advantage.

…………

Southeast of Luoyang, Yanggan Mountain.

When Zhang Liao rushed to the mountain with a large group of troops, the thousands of bandits entrenched here were already empty, and there was still half of the bandits.

As the saying goes, people are not as good as heaven, but I didn't expect it to be a step late.

Zhang Liao frowned, cursing "Damn" in his heart, waved his hand, and commanded the soldiers under his command: "Don't miss any corner, search for me!"

When Lu Jun's soldiers got the order, they rushed into the thief's stronghold one after another, ransacked boxes and cabinets everywhere, and searched them strictly.

Before leaving, Lu Bu deliberately called Zhang Liao to talk in the tent alone.

Thousands of words, not to kill the leader of the bandit, must be captured alive, if you see a young leader in his twenties, you must also bring him back safely.

Now the thieves have all escaped, and there are no traces left. Even if they want to chase, they don't know which direction to go.

Zhang Liao couldn't help feeling a little irritated, and it was not good to go back to the master in such a despondent way.

About half an hour later, a soldier came to report: "General, our army found a secret cave in the back mountain!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao led his people to the back mountain.

When they arrived at the cave, soldiers were dragging the corpse out of it.

According to the report of the captain who searched here, there are many traps in this cave. After paying the price of the lives of more than [-] pathfinding soldiers, the safety of the cave was finally ensured.

Zhang Liao nodded slightly, ordered the dead soldiers to be buried alive, and then strode in.

The cave is naturally formed, and the light inside is not dim. Later, it was transformed into many secret rooms of different sizes after manual chiseling.In the secret room, there is everything to eat and drink, even if you stay in this cave without going out for half a year, you will not starve to death in it.

One of the secret rooms was filled with countless bamboo slips, but unfortunately they were all burned to ashes by the fire, leaving nothing behind.

At this time, the soldiers who searched the next room came and handed the things in their hands respectfully to Zhang Liao: "General, when I was searching the next room, I found this note left behind, please take a look at it."

Zhang Liao took it after hearing the words, and after he finished reading it, the expression on his face suddenly became very deep and dignified.

I saw the note said:

The widow will not die, and you will be ministers after all!
