Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 596 Lu Bu's Transformation

Three days later, Lu Bu and Chen Gong arrived in Handan first, and in the afternoon, the troops under the command of Chu Nan arrived one after another.

"Father-in-law, the battle of Juyongguan established our army's chance of victory. If we can win this battle, father-in-law will count the first!" As soon as he saw Lu Bu, before Lu Bu could speak, Chu Nan put a high hat on Lu Bu's head: "Beat Karasuma hard!" After this battle, who would dare to say that my father-in-law is not my hero."

Lu Bu originally wanted to settle accounts with Chu Nan on the simulated battlefield. He felt that he was cheated. Yuan Shao was not as strong as he was in the simulated battle. In addition, many times, he was able to read Yuan Shao's heart and guess the opponent's intentions. Intent, but even so, the son-in-law was somewhat resentful when he played the mock battle.

Guo Jia helped himself to break through the world of Qimen in the battle of Juyongguan, and after that, whether it was his advice or his attitude towards himself, Lu Bu felt quite comfortable and couldn't do it. So this time, Lu Bu wanted to count with Chu Nan. Accountable.

But Chu Nan put a high hat on him as soon as he came up, which made Lu Bu feel a little uncomfortable for a while, and most of the resentment in his chest dissipated in an instant.

"Ziyan's simulated battlefield helped a lot." Lu Bu snorted, with a bit of resentment in his words.

"Father-in-law said, can the simulated battlefield experience help father-in-law?" Chu Nan invited Lu Bu to sit down in the tent, looked at Lu Bu and sighed: "Before the war, no one knew how strong Yuan Shao was, but father-in-law used to act like It is indeed easy to be calculated, so the son-in-law can only think Yuan Shao is strong enough, and use the resources in his hands in the most reasonable way, it is better to be over-prepared than under-prepared."

Lu Bu nodded. During this period of time, he liked to look back on the past more than ever before. There are many truths that he didn't understand or would never think about at all, but now he can figure it out by himself without any guidance.

Are you angry with Chu Nan?
Of course there were, after all, he was killed by his son-in-law hundreds of times in the simulated battlefields, but after understanding many principles, he also knew that he could fight so smoothly in this battle, all because of the simulated battlefields before the Chu Nan War, so that In many cases, he could even predict Yuan Shao's actions, which made Yuan Shao doubt his life because of this.

"Your ability to hold people is becoming more and more familiar. You obviously wanted to teach you martial arts after meeting, but now you can't think of it. You clearly know what you are doing." Lu Bu looked at Chu with a smile. Nan, the various routines of this son-in-law, when he looks back now, are actually all the same routines, but no matter whether it is the past or the current self, he has adopted this routine.

If Lu Bu, who met him for the first time, had the mentality he has now, maybe he can just be a son-in-law with peace of mind, why bother running around?

As Lu Bu's son-in-law, Chu Nan could clearly feel that the current Lu Bu was truly a general.

Weng and his son-in-law didn't have any quarrels at all, and now that they had spoken, there was no longer any estrangement. Lu Bu told Chu Nan about his experience in the Northern Expedition. It's not easy to show off, after all, these two are wise men in the world, and it's hard to even talk to the wife when they go back. Women generally don't care about this, but Lu Bu has no scruples about talking to his son-in-law.

Chu Nan just listened quietly, occasionally asking a few questions, always able to touch Lu Bu's itch and let him speak freely.

As for Chu Nan, he felt that the one who had grown the most in this war was probably Lu Bu, and he could rest assured that Lu Bu would be alone in the future.

"Ziyan, after this battle, a certain person is planning to go to the grassland." Lu Bu said suddenly.

"Why?" Chu Nan looked at Lu Bu puzzled.

"Whether it's Zilong's attack on Xianbei, or the battle against Karasuma in western Liaoning, I can feel that the power of the Hu people is not what it used to be." Lu Bu said solemnly: "There are no top fighters, and there are no advisers like Gongtai and Fengxiao. , in front of our army, these Karasuma people and Xianbei people are really powerless to fight back. However, after our army returns to the court, the people in the north will face the harassment of barbarians every year. The Karasuma cavalry is really powerful. Our army is ordinary The cavalry may not be his opponent, even if he cannot wipe out his family, he must not dare to commit crimes in the south within ten years."

In the end, Lu Bu seemed to have turned back into the Marquis Wen who galloped his horse and looked down on the heroes of the world, with murderous aura in his eyes.

"After this battle, my son-in-law really has the heart to use troops against Karasuma." Chu Nan nodded and said, "But why did father-in-law have such a heart?"

Chu Nan was really curious about this.

"Ziyan was born in the Central Plains, so I don't know how much the people in the north hate the Hu people!" Lu Bu's eyes showed a bit of evil spirit: "This time, we have fought all the way from Bingzhou to Youzhou, Yanmen, Xihe and other places. It's Hu'er, who goes south to plunder every year. Someone has seen the household registration of Youzhou. Ten years ago, Youzhou had a population of more than five million, but now, Youzhou has a population of less than 2 million. Of course, there is a battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. Dear, but as far as I know, only when Tadun was invited by Yuan Shao to attack Gongsun Zan and invaded the west of Liaoxi, he took away 300,000 Han people. Youzhou has neighbors like this. After Yuan Shao ruled Youzhou, the border defense was far worse than before. Prime Minister, this northern land has been plundered by the Hu people every year, how can it not decline?"

When the princes were not in chaos and Emperor Ling was alive, although the officialdom was corrupt and the court was smoggy, at least he never underestimated the suppression of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Karasuma, and Qiang, and the border defenses, although there were also cases of Hu people going south to plunder. It happened, but it's not as crazy as it is now. When Gongsun Zan ruled Youzhou, no matter how Gongsun Zan was, he never had a good face towards Karasuma. Before his defeat, the defense of the border was extremely strict.

But on Yuan Shao's side, Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan with the help of Karasuma, so he couldn't be as tough as Gongsun Zan, and Yuan Shao didn't say much about the matter of sweeping away 300,000 people. It was the war, and the other half was the looting of the Hu people. A large number of people moved south to Jizhou, which made Jizhou more prosperous, and also made Youzhou wither quickly.

As for Bingzhou... there is nothing to say, Yanmen and other counties are already empty, and there are not many Han people in Lu Bu's hometown, so Lu Bu borrowed food very hard that time.

Affected by Chu Nan's thinking in various aspects in the past few years, Lu Bu now looks at things from the perspective of ordinary people. Naturally, what he sees is completely different from the past. Therefore, after this battle, he went to Karasuma and went to Xianbei by the way. Wang Ting's plan to take a stroll.

"Since father-in-law is willing, then father-in-law will be in command of this battle, and let the two generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun accompany him, but don't rush to leave, you need to go back to Xuchang." Chu Nan nodded silently. Lu Bu is becoming more and more heroic, and he no longer does everything for himself.

"I'm afraid I won't be willing to come out after I go back." Lu Bu sighed, looked at Chu Nan and said, "After this battle, let's set off directly. You don't need too many soldiers and horses. 5000 people are enough. As for the food and grass, I will try to use it as much as possible." Grassland cattle and sheep for food."

If the imperial court provides food and grass, even if he only sends [-] troops, the logistical supply will be an astronomical figure. The farther the loss is.

Lu Bu knew that the imperial court was continuing to unify the world with power, so he didn't plan to bring too many soldiers and horses. It was just the food and grass for [-] soldiers, and most of them could be obtained by fighting. But if the imperial court really wanted to send troops, it would be done by the whole country Yes, the consumption will be huge. Even if the imperial court is now rich under Chu Nan's governance, this kind of war consumption may directly empty out Chu Nan's accumulated wealth.

Today's Lu Bu is able to consider issues from an overall perspective, which makes Chu Nan very pleased.

"In that case, I will leave the goshawk to my father-in-law so that he can easily find the enemy." Chu Nan did not refuse. He also had the idea of ​​launching troops outside the Great Wall before, but considering the high cost, even Chu Nan could not afford it. After making up his mind, since Lu Bu is willing to do this, Chu Nan can rest assured that with Lu Bu's strength, even if he can't win a big victory, he can retreat unscathed.

However, when fighting on the grassland, the biggest problem is not whether you can fight the enemy, but how to find the enemy. This is different from the Central Plains. The Han people have fixed residences such as cities, and they can easily find them even if they don’t know the way. The grassland tribes are mobile. It is extremely strong, and the grasslands are vast, and there are often no people in the area for hundreds of miles. If Lu Bu wants to support war with war, he must be able to find the enemy and defeat him as soon as possible. With the goshawk on the side to help point out the direction, it can largely prevent Lu Bu from getting lost in the grassland and not being able to find supply places, and he can even fly with people as scouts.

Lu Bu nodded, he was assured of the monster that Chu Nan had domesticated, and having such a monster by his side was indeed of great help to him.

"Then I will break Handan as soon as possible and take Yuan Shao down!" Lu Bu looked at Chu Nan and said, "After this battle, Jizhou will surely be settled."

"Dading is still far away, but there won't be a big war." Chu Nan shook his head, defeated Yuan Shao, and Jizhou was in his pocket. Under Nanzhi, even though Yuan Shao was defeated, these places could no longer recover, but it will take time to take them down.

In addition, there is governance. What the Central Plains has done, Chu Nan has to do it again here, travel around the counties to refine the gas luck, and by the way, go to the Guanzhong General to collect it.

Calculated in this way, Chu Nan estimated that even if everything goes well, it will take at least two years to initially digest the land that he ate this time.

So after taking down Yuan Shao, Chu Nan had to go back to Xuchang first to reward the soldiers for their meritorious deeds in this battle, and then travel around to refine the luck of each place, so as to raise their own luck to a higher level.

"These things have nothing to do with me. I'll take Handan as soon as possible and go back to Xuchang before the New Year's Eve." Lu Bu nodded. He was only in charge of fighting. He didn't want to take care of other things, and he couldn't take care of them.

"nature."
