The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 147 Who Can Stop Him
Lu Bu decided to evacuate Shouchun, and the soldiers packed their bags that night.

It was dawn, and as soon as Lu Bu got up, Zhang Liao came to the door.

"Has Marquis Wen woke up?" He asked the guard outside the door.

Lu Bu's voice came from the room: "Is it Wenyuan outside?"

"It's me." Zhang Liao stepped forward: "The soldiers are ready and can return to Xuzhou at any time."

"So soon?" Lu Bu came out, he signaled the guards to fetch water to wash up, and then said: "I still plan to leave tomorrow."

"If Hou Wen decides to set off tomorrow, I will ask the soldiers to unpack." Zhang Liao responded.

"Now that you are ready, let's go today." Lu Bu ordered: "Send down the order and set off in the morning."

Zhang Liao returned to the barracks to convey Lü Bu's order.

The soldiers divided the captured strong men and charming women into two battalions and gathered them together. They left Shouchun only after Lu Bu gave an order.

After Lu Bu washed up, he led a group of guards to the barracks.

Xun You has been arranging people to watch him since the night before.

When Lv Bu led them to the gate of the barracks, Xun You brought Xu Huang and Li Dian to meet him.

"Marquis Wen won't be leaving today, will he?" Xun You asked immediately.

"If the soldiers don't leave, I'm afraid it will have an impact on morale." Lu Bu said very sincerely: "Mr. Cao will still employ people in the future. I can't win Huainan and not seek other achievements?"

He knew that Lu Bu's eloquence was difficult to deal with, but Xun You never thought that he could be so eloquent.

Withdrawing the army is obviously in his own best interest, but he was able to move out Cao Cao to suppress Xun You.

The terrible thing is that Xun You didn't know how to argue.

Cao Cao will indeed employ people in the future.

But Lu Bu is obviously not someone who can be used for a long time.

Once his wings are full, there will be a great battle with the Cao family to compete for the world.

Xun You could see it clearly but couldn't say it out loud.

It is not clear what Cao Cao thinks, of course Xun You will not easily offend Lu Bu.

The Yuan family in Hebei sent many more scouts to the south bank of the Yellow River than before.

Yuan Shao's intention to attack the south is becoming more and more obvious.

After many battles, Cao Cao, who unified the Henan area, is still much weaker than Yuan Shao in Hebei.

Cao Yuan always had a fight.

With the current strength of the Cao family, even if they were all invested in dealing with the Yuan family in Hebei, it would be too much.

If Lu Bu stabs him from behind again at that time, the situation facing the Cao family will be bad.

Before Xun You could think of what to say, Lu Bu bowed his hands and said, "If Mr. Xun is fine, I'll be leaving first!"

Without giving Xun You a chance to react, he led the guards directly into the barracks.

Watching Lu Bu leave, Li Dian saw that Xun You was silent, so he called out, "Marquis Wen, if the Huainan army counterattacks, what should we do without soldiers?"

Lu Bu turned around and said, "Didn't General Li bring some troops? Shouchun City is deep and deep, so it's no problem to guard it for three to five months with the general's ability. If Duke Cao doesn't come by then, I will definitely lead the army to help."

Li Dian's head was full of black lines.

Xu Huang beside him also had a very ugly expression, but he didn't ask Lu Bu like he did.

When Lu Bu came to the barracks, Zhang Liao and others came to greet him after receiving the news.

"Are the soldiers ready?" Lu Bu asked them.

"It's been prepared a long time ago. Bring everything that needs to be brought, just wait for Marquis Wen's order." Zhang Liao responded.

"Send the order!" Lu Bu said: "The army will move out immediately and return to Pengcheng."

"What is Marquis Wen planning to say to the soldiers?" Zhang Liao asked.

"It's not about going to battle to kill the enemy, so there's nothing to say." Lu Bu replied, "Tell the soldiers, I will write down all the military achievements, and when I return to Pengcheng, I will reward them according to the military achievements. The officials who should be appointed, the rewards that should be rewarded, as long as they have meritorious service , even if it’s just miscellaneous soldiers, they will also be rewarded.”

The status of miscellaneous soldiers in the army is extremely low.

To be promoted from a miscellaneous soldier to a sword and shield hand requires a lot of military merits.

In every war, the number of miscellaneous soldiers who died was extremely large.

There are them in the bone burial field, but they have nothing to do with them in making contributions!

As generals in the army, Zhang Liao and others are also used to despising miscellaneous soldiers.

Lu Bu proposed to award meritorious service together with the miscellaneous soldiers, and Zhang Liao and the others looked at each other in astonishment.

Zhang Liao said: "The status of the miscellaneous soldiers is lowly. If Marquis Wen discusses their achievements together with them, I'm afraid..."

"The same people have made the same contributions, how can there be such a thing as humbleness?" Lu Bu replied: "In my eyes, there are only meritorious and inactive merits. There is no high or low background, and there is no eternal official title."

Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and Chen Dao were astonished by Lu Bu's statement that he ignored humbleness in the Eastern Han Dynasty, who valued his family background.

Lu Bu stopped explaining and waved his hands: "You guys go and make arrangements."

Zhang Liao and others took orders.

Zhuma stood on the only way out of the camp, and not long after, well-dressed soldiers came towards them under the leadership of Zhang Liao and others.

Besides the soldiers, Lu Bu also saw countless dejected men and women in the ranks.

They were captured by Lu Bu's soldiers in the Shouchun area.

The men escorted by the soldiers were all downcast, and the women were crying.

The soldiers were striding forward with their heads held high and their morale was like a rainbow, while thick clouds hung over the heads of the men and women caught in the ranks by them.

Zhang Liao came to Lu Bu first: "Marquis Wen, you can go now."

Lu Bu turned around and pointed at the main entrance of the barracks: "Let's go!"

The army drove out of the barracks, and Xun You and others stood by.

Watching Lu Bu leave, Xu Huang asked in a low voice, "Mr. Xun, let him go like this?"

"If you don't let him go, who can stop him?" Xun You asked back.

Xu Huang said nothing more.

Although he and Li Dian were the leading generals, they were not Lu Bu's opponents at all.

What's more, there are three fierce generals Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Chen Dao beside Lu Bu.

If they dare to stop them, they won't even know how they died if Lu Bu gets upset.

An army of [-] is not too small.

The team led by Lu Bu also included the men and women they had abducted.

The number of able-bodied men has exceeded the total number of the army. In the era of wars and chaos, there are far more women than men.

Teams with a total number of more than [-] left Shouchun City.

After one or two hundred steps away from the city, Lu Bu looked back.

Behind him is a mighty team.

The team stretched like a long dragon. Although he had left the city, people were still coming out of the city gate.

Just as Lu Bu was about to turn his head, he saw a few figures appearing on the city wall from a distance.

Although the distance was very far, he still judged that those figures were Xun You and others.

Xun You is very wise and thoughtful, but this time he came to Huainan but did not benefit from him.

While he was secretly happy, he was also a little worried.

Although Xuzhou had a lot of soldiers and horses, the soldiers lacked drills, and turning against Cao Cao too early would not do him much good.

It is best to maintain the current relationship if you can not turn against each other for the time being.

Of course, the premise is that Cao Cao will not touch his fundamental interests.
