My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 202 Pursuit of victory
As Cheng Lian spoke, he handed Lu Yi a letter that roughly recorded the gains.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi couldn't help but become interested and started reading the letter.

"Haha, if that's the case, nearly 10,000 Xianbei people have been killed or injured in front of my Luyi City!"

"The loss of 10,000 soldiers is still bearable for our Han Dynasty, but it is a serious blow to the sparsely populated Xianbei people!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Shun nodded quickly, and a hint of excited smile appeared on Wan Gubuhua's face.

"Now all the counties in Hebei have been deeply poisoned by the Xianbei. Many counties have even been conquered by the Xianbei and fallen into the hands of the Hu people. Now that big brother has achieved such a great victory and has nearly 10,000 Hu heads in his hands, if he reports it to the court, I don't know what kind of reward the court will give big brother!"

"Hehe, if it were me, Cheng Lian, I would at least give Big Brother the title of County Governor or General. Maybe he could even be made a marquis for his military achievements!"

Cheng Lian also smiled when he heard this.

As Lu Yi's younger brothers who had shared life and death with him, they naturally hoped from the bottom of their hearts that their elder brother would get better and better, get promoted and make money.

Of course, if the eldest brother becomes successful, he and others will naturally benefit from it as well!

"Ha ha……"

When Lu Yi heard this, he was not as excited as the other two.

There was still a calm smile on his face.

"The court today is not the same as during the reign of Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty. If you have military merits but no backing or money, you won't be promoted or given a title!"

Lu Yi was very familiar with Liu Hong's character.

This emperor, who could be compared to King Zhou of Shang in terms of debauchery and tyranny, could only make the people in his fiefdom suffer if he were just a king.

But he was the ruler of the world, the supreme ruler, the emperor who shepherded the people, and yet he brought a devastating disaster to the entire Chinese nation and the Han people.

After his death, the whole world fell into chaos.

The entire Kyushu was in constant civil war.

At the most critical moment, according to some historical records, there were only a few million Han people left in the whole of China.

It is true that nine out of ten houses are empty.

If the three powerful rulers of Wei, Shu and Wu had not each conquered and suppressed the foreign ethnic groups bordering them.

The tragedy of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China would even have happened a full hundred years earlier!

Therefore, Lu Yi naturally had no hope or expectation for such an emperor and court.

These 10,000 heads of the Hu people could be exchanged for at least one marquis title during the time of Emperor Wu of Han.

But now... I guess it's not as real as ten million.

Therefore, even if we cannot replace it in the end, we must still split the land and protect the people.

Lu Yi snorted coldly in his heart and hid his dissatisfaction with Liu Hong and the court again in his heart, then continued to read Cheng Lian's battle report.

"We seized more than 3,000 war horses!"

"We were able to capture so many horses. This is already equivalent to our horse trading income for half a year!"

Compared to these heads, so many horses made Lu Yi even more excited.

Although human heads represent military merit, it is still unclear whether they can be redeemed in the end.

In history, Liu Bei made great contributions in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and risked his life to defend his country. However, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, he was treated coldly in Luoyang. It was not until a long time later that he was remembered by the court and was given a small post as the lieutenant of Anxi County, which made Zhang Fei so angry that he cursed. Therefore, with the lessons learned from the past, Lu Yi naturally would not have high hopes for these heads.

And these more than 3,000 war horses were actually captured.

Under the mountain of foreign heads, no one could snatch these horses from Lu Yi by force.

Now was the time to use their skills. The warriors defeated the brutal invaders with their own strength and seized some supplies to make up for the losses.

This is a matter of course.

If the imperial court still deprives the warriors of their spoils at this time, it will oppress the warriors who have the courage to resist the invaders and defend their country.

So in the future, who will truly resist the invaders?
Besides, these horses were captured by Lu Yi’s family alone. As long as he kept his mouth shut, who could tell for sure whether he captured them after defeating the Xianbei people, or whether he was so angry when he saw the Xianbei people invading that he spent all his family wealth to buy the horses?
If these more than 3,000 horses were converted into money, it would be a huge fortune of nearly 100 million yuan.

And now is the most critical time of the war, and the value of it is even far more than 100 million coins.

This is a huge sum of money for Lu Yi, who is so poor that he can run horses.

Moreover, there are more than 3,000 war horses.

Lu Yi could not only equip each of his 800 most elite cavalrymen with two horses to relieve the pressure of a single mount loaded with full armor and heavy body, but also allow these 800 cavalrymen to have a longer combat radius and more sufficient combat time.

In addition, even if one person rides two horses.

Including the 800 war horses that Lu Wu currently possesses, that is nearly 4,000 in total, enough for Lu Yi to immediately recruit a cavalry unit.

There just happened to be 700 sets of newly cast iron armor left in Luwu. As long as they could find warriors who were good at riding horses and brave enough to fight, they could nearly double the number of 800 cavalrymen to a terrifying 1,500.

This number of armored cavalry can already directly attack the Xianbei light cavalry of tens of thousands of people, and there is a great probability of winning the final victory!

This is the choice that best suits Lu Yi's interests at the moment.

Lu Yi couldn't help but feel fascinated when he thought about having 1,500 of the world's most elite armored cavalry under his command, galloping on the battlefield for his ambitions and goals.

"But before that, there is a huge fortune that we need to seize immediately!"

Lu Yi's heart moved, and he immediately suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and hurriedly continued to ask Cheng Lian.

"Cheng Lian, how is the physical strength of the two thousand auxiliary soldiers now?"

"Big brother, the auxiliary soldiers were shooting arrows at Su Shuang and the others from the top of the city before, and they left the city only to capture war horses, so they still have a lot of strength left."

"So good!"

Lu Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly gave another order.

"Cheng Lian, listen to my orders!"

"I'm here!" Cheng Lian's expression straightened when he heard that. He quickly knelt on one knee and clasped his fists, waiting for Lu Yi's order.

"Now I order you to gather all the two thousand auxiliary troops who can move, and distribute all the captured horses and the eight hundred horses of the armored cavalry to them."

"Although the Xianbei people followed the orders of the Xianbei leader Tan Shihuai to invade Hebei in the south, their military discipline was naturally not comparable to that of the Han people. They were led by the chiefs of each tribe and fought on their own. Apart from a portion of the spoils that needed to be handed over to Tan Shihuai, the rest went into their own pockets."

"Now that Hutuo is dead, and his death was so sudden, I guess that the spoils looted by Hutuo's tribe along the way must be stored in the Hutuo camp ten miles away."

"These Hu soldiers are so frightened that they are already fleeing for their lives, so they naturally cannot care about these valuables."

"Therefore, we should seize the opportunity to pursue the victory as soon as possible!"
