Rebirth of Lu Bu, the tyrant of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 242, Attack the Aristocratic Family Again!
On the fourth day, after Zhao Yun woke up, he kept his word and led three thousand white horses out of Liaoyang City.

Not far away, dozens of cavalry came galloping.

The leader was Guan Jing. At this time, he was still wrapped in gauze, but he looked much more energetic than before.

While galloping his horse, Guan Jing said loudly, "General Zhao Yun, please stay."

Zhao Yun pulled the reins, turned the horse's head to meet him.

Guan Jing dismounted from his horse and bowed to Lu Bu, saying respectfully, "I've heard about the bet between General Zhao Yun and General Gongsun. Guan Jing came here specially to thank General Zhao Yun for his kindness. If it wasn't for General Zhao Yun, we Liaoyang City may have been occupied by Goguryeo long ago."

Zhao Yun said indifferently, "General Guan Jing, you are being polite, we are all Han Chinese, so we should be united in fighting against the enemy.

How can I let foreigners kill my people and plunder my territory."

An excited expression appeared on Guan Jing's face, "Based on General Zhao Yun's words, please accept my worship from Guan Jing."

Zhao Yun jumped off his horse and said politely, "General Guan Jing, please get up quickly, why be so polite, you have withstood the onslaught of Goguryeo's [-] troops several times with nearly a thousand soldiers and horses, and you are considered a famous general."

Guan Jing laughed and said, "I don't dare to be a famous general, but it is our duty to protect the family and the people."

The two exchanged pleasantries again for a while, and before leaving, Guan Jing bowed to Zhao Yun again.

Zhao Yun then led the troops and galloped towards Liaodong County.

Lu Bu had received the news from the messengers long before, and specially sent troops ten li to meet him.

When Zhao Yun saw Lv Bu's tent, he dismounted from his horse, knelt down in front of Lv Bu, and said respectfully, "The last general failed to complete the task assigned by the general, and lost Xuantu County, and I ask the general to punish him."

Lu Bu raised his head to the sky and let out a long laugh, "Haha, I have heard about the competition between you and General Gongsun Du. Even I am no match for a tank of spirits. We rushed to help Xuantu County to drive out the Goguryeo thieves. As for Xuantu County, whoever manages it is a trivial matter, and it doesn’t matter if you take it later.”

At this time, Tian Yu said, "General, if we don't take the remaining three counties, how can we contend with Yuan Shao's army? Now that Goguryeo has been defeated, it is urgent to lead the four counties.

Right now we have an army of [-], and the daily food and supplies are extremely consumed.

Liaodong County has been fighting repeatedly, and the food in their hands is already very limited. The soldiers used to have meat every day, but in the past seven days they can only eat meat. They practice three times a day, and their morale is obviously not as high as before."

Lu Bu nodded, "A [-] army is not a small amount of money. Even though the big families in Liaodong have contributed money to support them, they still can't make ends meet."

In ancient times, cattle among the six domestic animals were an important tool for agricultural production, and their breeding was not as fast as sheep and pigs. Therefore, the "Book of Rites King System" stipulated: "The princes did not kill cattle without reason, the doctor did not kill sheep without reason, and the scholars did not kill dogs without reason. Hog, ordinary people don’t eat precious things for no reason.”

It can be seen from this that the respective status of the six animals is precisely because of the preciousness of cattle. Many emperors have issued a ban on slaughtering cattle, and it is very strict. It is recorded in the historical records that when a general named Wei Shang resisted the Huns, he killed one for five days. The cattle were fed to the soldiers, and all the soldiers were excited and worked hard for him one by one, so that "the Huns stayed away and did not enter the fortress in the clouds".

Lv Bu pondered for a while, now that the army is short of food and pay, it seems that he can only reach out to the big clan in Liaodong.

Then he said, "Zilong, tomorrow, you will call the tiger, and Yide will lead an army of [-] to organize a big military parade."

Zhao Yun was a little puzzled and said, "What is a military parade?
Lu Bu thought for a moment, and then said, "You can understand it as a large-scale inspection of the main combat equipment of the soldiers and tanks of the army, and lead the three armies to perform martial arts to demonstrate the might of our army."

Zhao Yun bowed and said, "No."

Then he said to Tian Yu, "Guorang, after I return to the prefect's mansion, I will write another letter and take it to Gongsun Fan, the prefect of Liaodong, and ask him to lead all the great families of Liaodong to participate in the military parade. Anyone else is considered a traitor."

Hearing the military parade, Tian Yu had already guessed what Lu Bu was thinking.

The Liaodong clan has been in business for a hundred years and has a strong foundation. The soldiers guarding Liaodong County are nothing more than protecting them. They should let them lose some meat.

The next day, outside Liaodong County, [-] troops were entrenched around.

There are twenty big drums facing each other on both sides, and the sound of the drums is loud and earth-shattering.

Lu Bu led nearly a thousand clans of all sizes in Liaodong County to walk between the two armies.

This was beyond Lu Bu's expectations. He didn't expect that there were so many clans in Liaodong County, and they could make a fortune.

The leaders are naturally the Gongsun clan, Tian clan, Yan clan and other major clans.

Zhao Yun led three thousand white horses to gallop around an army of one hundred thousand, like a white tornado.

Zhang Fei, Dian and Wei each led an army of [-] to oppose each other.

Most of the patriarchs of these clans were powerless, and many of them trembled when they saw the [-] troops in Lu Bu's hands.

Lu Bu turned around and said, "My lords, do you think my one hundred thousand army is majestic?"

"Majestic! Majestic!"

Nearly a thousand clan leaders nodded their heads.

"Axe is sharp"

"Sharp! Sharp!"

Lu Bu then sighed deeply.

Gongsun Fan said, "The general has such a powerful army, why are you sighing?"

"There are [-] counties in Liaodong County, with more than [-] people. If our army withdraws, what will happen?"

The faces of the people were slightly startled, and Gongsun Fan said, "What does Marquis Wen mean by this? Right now Yuan Shao's army is staring at Liaodong County. If Marquis Wen withdraws, Yuan Shao will definitely attack Liaodong County. By then, the entire Liaodong County will be completely destroyed." Life is in shambles."

Lu Bu said, "That's right, I thought so too, but my one hundred thousand soldiers and horses are not descended from gods, so it's impossible for me not to eat or drink.

Have you seen that although they look majestic, their complexions are a little yellow, and they have not tasted meat for several months."

Although Lu Bu didn't say it clearly, nearly a thousand clans naturally knew what Lu Bu meant.

"Haha, why didn't the general say earlier that Liaodong County is the foundation of our ancestors, and naturally it cannot fall into the hands of others. Since Lu Wenhou guarded Liaodong County, he has not waited to touch every plant and tree in Liaodong County. Such a diligent and caring general, I Wait unheard of.

I would like to use the power of the clan to help Lu Wenhou, donate a hundred fat cattle, a hundred fat sheep, a hundred fat pigs, and 30 grains, so as to help Wen Hou train his soldiers and generals," said Gongsun Fan, the leader.

Lu Bu's face moved slightly, he didn't expect these aristocratic families to be so generous, it seems that he underestimated them.

Other aristocratic families responded one after another.

Lu Bu ordered Tian Yu to record all of them in the account, and got cattle, sheep and pigs, with countless money and food.

Lv Bu said loudly, "The three armies are performing martial arts, in order to thank you gentlemen for your kindness in helping us."

Zhang Fei and Dian Wei rushed out first.

The two of you come and block, waving the weapons in your hands.

The sound of shouting and killing is everywhere, mighty and majestic.

Gongsun Fan said, "Marquis Wen is worthy of being a hero in the world, and he has such a powerful general in his hands. My ancestor passed down a set of turtle-backed dragon scale armor, and I would like to give it to the general."

Lu Bu was overjoyed.

The [-] troops rushed back and forth, with great power and power, and the overwhelming fighting spirit rose to the sky.

The screams of the army could be heard ten miles away.

After the clans and aristocrats left, Lu Bu said to Tian Yu, "The immediate urgent need has been resolved. Soldiers can eat meat every day, but it is not a long-term solution. Right now, there are five thousand Youzhou troops stationed in Zilong in Lelang County. Our army Liaoxi County and Xuantu County must be captured.

Order Zilong to train his generals every day, and ten days later he will attack Liaoxi and Xuantu counties."

　I recommend a friend's work, "The Awakened God of War Lu Bu", which is also very exciting, thank you.
