My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 132 Brothers reunited

The refugees do not need to be paid, they only need to be given food to eat. In the future, they will be given as many as they want. However, the composition of these refugees is complex and their origins are unknown, so they need to be observed first. Only if they are willing to become Lu Yi's servants and sign a contract to sell themselves, can Lu Yi use them with confidence.

Although the servants' origins and identities were clearly recorded in the indenture, if they betrayed Lu Yi, Lu Yi could, as the head of the family, decide the life or death of the servants with just a word. However, the disadvantage was that the price was too expensive.

Even based on Lu Yi's current income, after deducting the cost, he could only exchange a horse from the grassland for a strong man. If he chose to rely on redeeming servants to strengthen himself, then Lu Yi's family fortune would not be enough to spend.

Therefore, Lu Yi prepared to combine the two and choose according to the situation.

However, no matter which type of person they are, as long as they can pass Lu Yi's observation and assessment, abolish their indentureship and sign an employment contract, they will be considered the backbone of Lu Yi's forces.

You can choose to become a tenant and be granted land by Lu Yi, pay agricultural taxes annually and undertake certain corvee labor.

Or they could make a living by relying on their skills, becoming Lu Yi's hired workers and contributing to Lu Yi's caravan and construction, and receiving monthly wages.

Either one can allow them to live in peace and without worries.

On the premise of being loyal and reliable, they can go a step further and become Lu Yi's bodyguards.

The guards are the best treated group of people under Lu Yi.

Not only daily meals and supplies are given priority.

Moreover, in Lu Yi's future vision, everyone should give priority to marriage.

Help them start a family and build a career.

Only with the concern for their wives, children and families can they achieve a deeper bond with Lu Yi.

In the future on the battlefield, they will be more determined to serve Lu Yi, which can greatly increase the cost of their betrayal and surrender.

Following the example of the first batch of tenants, Lu Yi also reorganized these refugees according to their household registration.

Since they had lived and worked in Jiuyuan Pavilion for some time, the candidates for the foreman and the cook were very clear, and they were appointed by Lu Yi among the active ones.

The same ten-day evaluation method for previous servants was also issued to them.

Only a complete metabolic mechanism can keep the human body healthy and energetic, and the same is true for an organization.

If there are only rewards but no punishments, and everyone eats from the same big pot, they will be smart and save their energy.

But if there is only punishment but no reward, everyone will feel resentful, leading to explosions and rebellion.

After arranging the refugees, the last and largest destabilizing factor in Lu Yi's forces was eliminated.

Therefore, Lu Yi was also confident and bold enough to go out of the border to snipe Wang Fu and others.

However, after arranging the trivial matters of Jiuyuan Pavilion, it was already mid-September.

Seeing that the time was almost up and the time agreed with Zhang had arrived, Lu Yi handed the base camp to his close confidant and Zhang Jia to guard, and led two hundred elite old friends to Zhang's in Mayi.

After several months of training, these two hundred people have been transformed.

Lu Yi provided them with the best food and the most systematic and comprehensive training.

In addition to being good at riding and shooting, their discipline and organization have also been greatly improved.

And the most important thing is loyalty. Under Lu Yi's careful grace and power day after day and month after month, in their hearts, Lu Yi's orders are more important than those of officials such as the Jiuyuan County Magistrate.

Lu Yi can now say with confidence that his men have begun to only obey his own orders and ignore the orders of the court!

"Brother-in-law, you're here!" Lü Yi had just arrived in Mayi and had not yet approached the Zhang family's fortress when the two hundred reinforcements sent by the Zhang family, led by Zhang Xun, had already approached.

Lu Yi and Zhang Shi are now in a relationship of shared success and failure. Upon hearing that Lu Shi's caravan might encounter an ambush, Zhang Shi was even more anxious than Lu Yi himself.

As early as when the delaying tactic was successfully implemented, Lu Yi revealed his plan to Zhang. Therefore, under the order of Zhang Shang, Zhang Xun led the 200 most courageous young members of the tribe to join the war, and obeyed Lu Yi's orders throughout the whole process.

Although Zhang's 200 cavalrymen were not as powerful as Lu Yi's old comrades who had been trained after leaving their jobs, every man in the northern border could ride a horse and draw a bow, so they could be of some use.

Moreover, even if Zhang's troops were completely useless, they would still have to join the battle even if they were pulled over to finish off the prisoners.

In this way, Zhang will be able to completely tie up Lu Yi's warship and work together with Lu Yi to attack the Zhongshan Chamber of Commerce.

Since you have enjoyed the benefits, you must bear the corresponding responsibilities.

Even though Zhang is from his wife's family, for Lu Yi, being useful is the most important factor.

"Since our uncle has already set out, we won't go to Zhang's. Instead, we'll turn our horses around and head straight for the Mayi Great Wall to meet up with Huang Yi," Lu Yi gave the order without hesitation, and led the combined 400 men to turn around and head for Huang Yi.

Huang Yi is one of the four alliances. After enjoying the benefits, he naturally has to contribute troops and manpower.

And it was not just Huang Yi. Even the Hunye tribe, Lu Yi had already instructed Gao Shun and others to inform Hexutuo of his plan.

Naturally, Kasuto and Hunye tribe would not sit idly by and watch their own interests being damaged, and would also send troops to help.

By then, light and darkness will be reversed, and it will not be Wang Fu who intercepts and kills Lu's Shangdu.

Instead, the four-party alliance intercepted and killed Wang Fu's thousand troops.

After arriving at the Mayi Great Wall, the allied forces of Lu and Zhang were warmly received by Huang Yi.

Not only were Lu Yi and Zhang Xun treated as guests of honor, they were also entertained by a banquet hosted by Huang Yi.

The remaining 400 cavalrymen were also treated to wine and meat.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?" At the banquet, Lu Bu was the first to respectfully toast Lu Yi.

He missed his brother very much after not seeing him for many days. Now that the brothers are reunited, he is naturally very happy.

"I hope everything is fine, brother. But you, Fengxian, have become more heroic!" Lu Yi couldn't help but sigh as he watched Lu Bu, who looked radiant after months of military training.

Compared to his previous miserable look when he was managing internal affairs for himself in Jiuyuan, it seems that a military career is what really suits this unparalleled flying general!

It’s just that Lu Bu’s IQ is too low, so he will need to be assigned a first-class counselor in the future.

By the way, Chen Gong should still be studying hard at home in Luoyang County, right?
This person came from a humble background and suffered misfortunes in his youth. Now is the time for him to study hard in the hope of changing his own and his family's destiny.

If I have the opportunity to go to Luoyang in the future, I must take a detour and subdue this person in advance before he enters the officialdom.

After all, it was only with Chen Gong's wisdom that Lu Bu could be considered a complete warrior who had defeated Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Moreover, with the orders of his elder brother in this life, I believe Lu Bu will become more obedient.

"Brother, you are right. I prefer military life to clerical work."

Lu Bu also had a smile on his face and felt very satisfied with his current situation.
