The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 114

The war is coming, and the morale of the soldiers needs to be mobilized.

Fighting for Cao Cao, whether it is the soldiers who were originally subordinate to Lu Bu or the Qingzhou Army, are reluctant.

Going to the battlefield with reluctance, the result can be imagined.

When Lu Bu came to the barracks, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao went to meet him at the gate.

"How are the soldiers preparing?" Lu Bu asked the two of them.

"Preparations are being made, but the mood is not too high." Zhang Liao replied: "I have asked people to inquire, and many soldiers are willing to fight for Wen Hou, but they are not willing to die for Cao Cao."

Lu Bu turned to look at him: "Is that what the soldiers really said?"

"The officers and men thought that the surrender of Huainan to Cao Cao was to send them to their deaths." Zhang Liao replied, "Pushing them to the battlefield will not give them any benefits, and they will not be willing to put them on anyone."

"We can't let the soldiers go into battle willingly to fight the enemy. We have already lost half." Lu Bu walked into the barracks: "Call the soldiers together, and I will give them some sweetness."

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun summoned the soldiers to go.

There is a small phalanx of hundreds of people practicing.

When Lu Bu came, the officer yelled, and the soldiers stopped immediately.

"Wen Hou Mighty!" Hundreds of people greeted in unison.

Lu Bu nodded and jumped onto the high platform of the school field.

Hundreds of soldiers did not continue to practice, but just formed a square formation and looked at him.

"Why are you the only ones practicing?" Looking around, Lu Bu asked the officer.

"Report to Wen Hou." The officer replied: "We used to be soldiers following Wen Hou in Xiapi, and it became a habit to practice every day. The other groups of brothers just dispersed. As for the Qingzhou Army..."

He lowered his head and peeked at Lu Bu, but didn't dare to continue.

"What happened to the Qingzhou Army?" The officer didn't dare to say anything, but Lu Bu kept asking.

"The Qingzhou army is very loose." The officer dared not answer: "Not only do they refuse to practice, but they also cause trouble in the army all day long. We don't have as many people as them, and the soldiers dare not speak out!"

Lu Bu pinched his chin and frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about a very serious question.

When Cao Cao was defeated in Wancheng, the Qingzhou army also took the opportunity to loot.

At that time, Yu Jin proposed a crusade, but Cao Cao spared the Qingzhou army.

Before the Battle of Wancheng, although the Qingzhou Army was free-range, it was still a large army with a complete establishment.

However, after that incident, Cao Cao frequently ordered the deployment of troops to defend elsewhere, and in just a few months, the Qingzhou Army was divided into more than a dozen small groups with weak combat effectiveness.

If Lu Bu hadn't appeared on Mount Tai, perhaps there would be no more Qingzhou Army in the world after a few years.

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun each led a group of people in the barracks to greet the soldiers to gather.

When he came to Pengcheng, Lu Bu had been busy preparing for the construction of coal mines and military camps, and had no chance to rectify the military affairs of the Qingzhou Army.

The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army with lax military discipline were ordered to rush out of the barracks.

Like herds of cattle and sheep, they were "driven" by Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others to the school grounds.

Arranged loosely and loosely, the performance of the Qingzhou Army did not look like an army conquest of the battlefield at all, but more like a group of undisciplined vagrants.

With torn armor and outdated weapons, pairs of empty eyes stared at Lu Bu with no fighting spirit on his face.

Following Lu Bu to Pengcheng, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army once had expectations and longings.

But the first order they received was to help the Cao family attack Huainan...

What's more terrible is that they are not supporting, but the main attack!

Helping the Cao family fight, no reward for meritorious service, no punishment for demerit, the Qingzhou Army has always been a dispensable existence.

Whether to fight or not to fight is the same, whether to go or not to go is the same...

Who wants to rush to the battlefield when they have nothing to do?

Looking around at the soldiers on the school field, Lu Bu shook his head: "Yesterday I ordered you to mend your armor and sharpen your weapons. You are lucky, your armor is still dilapidated, and your weapons are still stained with rust. How do you go to the battlefield like this? How do you kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds?"

"Wen Hou promised us that he would be rewarded with honors for his contributions on the battlefield. Why did he come to Xuzhou and the first order was to help the Cao family fight?" A shout came from the school grounds: "I don't care if others go or not." No, I'm definitely not going anyway!"

Born as a Yellow Turban bandit and neglected to restrain them for so many years, the Qingzhou Army is more bandit and has no discipline at all.

Someone took the lead in yelling, and there was a burst of questioning voices in the school grounds.

Standing by the sword, Lu Bu didn't say a word. He waited for the generals of the Qingzhou Army to yell for a while before he shouted: "Is the yelling over? Is it my turn to say it?"

When Lu Bu spoke, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army fell silent.

"Do you think this battle was fought for the Cao family?" Lu Bu looked around at the soldiers and asked loudly.

"Don't try to deceive us, Marquis Wen." Another voice came from the school grounds: "We all know that the capture of Huainan will be handed over to Cao Mengde! Take it or not, isn't it for him?"

This sentence was like a big stone thrown into a pond, and it immediately caused a commotion.

The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army whispered to each other, talking about their respective cognitions.

Almost all Qingzhou Army have the same opinion.

Attacking Huainan was for Cao Cao, and it was of no benefit to them at all!

"Have you discussed enough?" Lu Bu shouted again after a while.

The turmoil gradually calmed down, and the faces of all the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army were full of resentment, and the mood of war weariness spread in the army.

"There is no military discipline to speak at will, no wonder you have been underestimated!" Jumping off the high platform, Lu Bu walked back and forth in front of the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army: "A large army without military discipline, no matter how many people it is, is just a group waiting to be slaughtered on the battlefield. The lamb! The lamb still has horns, and it can bump against it a few times. Look at the weapons in your hands. They are almost rusted and you don’t know how to sharpen them. With such weapons, can you pierce a mosquito? The weapons are The horns of you lambs, you don’t even care about the horns, why do you go to battle to kill the enemy? Why do you make meritorious deeds?"

What Lu Bu said made the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army silent, but the expressions on their faces showed dissatisfaction.

"I don't make any preparations, I just want to get benefits." Lu Bu stopped and faced the Qingzhou army formation: "Who told you that we won't get any benefits if we don't occupy Huainan? Follow you to mess around, I will never ask!"

"Occupying it or not, what's the benefit..." A murmur came from the crowd.

It's just that compared with the questioning just now, this muttering is really weak and pitiful.

It can be seen that the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army also realized that there was a fatal mistake in their approach!
"Since Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, built palaces and was a beauty contestant, Huainan has already been riddled with holes." Lu Bu said, "What's the point of us wanting that ruined place? It's better to grab it and leave. "
