Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 165 Tianshui 6
Chapter 160 Five

"Actually, I saw that many people brought their own horses with them when they came to Tianshui City. You can buy some from them. Isn't that enough?" Wei Xu suddenly asked Dian to save himself. Wei suggested.

"Tch, how much money can I make a year, how can I have the money to buy so many horses?" Dian Wei sneered at Wei Xu's words.

"Haha, these horses are for war. If you buy them with money, you can write a letter to the people who own them and return them after the battle. Why do you need money?" Wei Xu rolled his eyes. , Hehe said.

"That's okay?" Dian Wei was surprised, but he didn't expect Wei Xu to have such an idea, but thinking about it, there seems to be nothing wrong. "It's just that this horse is a valuable thing, so what if others don't want to take it?" Dian Wei is not stupid, who would want to borrow a horse to fight a war.

"Hey, this is your own business." Wei Xu smiled and walked away.

So not long after, there were more soldiers at the gate of Tianshui City. They came and went to check the pedestrians. When they saw that the people had horses, they took them over. Return it later.

In this way, many people in Tianshui were attracted to complain, and some people took the opportunity to report to Cheng Lian.It's a pity that Cheng Lian thought that his prestige in Lu Bu's army was limited, so he told Lu Zhi about the matter, so he came to find Lu Bu under Lu Zhi's leadership.

"Yun'er, you look so cute at Deng Ai." Ever since Deng decided to stay, Lu Bu went to visit little Deng Ai from time to time. The more Lu Bu looked at Deng Ai, the more he liked him. Come see Deng Ai.

"This Deng Ai is quite cute, but you don't have to be so happy, you see, you have visited Deng Ai twice today." Ma Yunlu was also wondering, when did Lu Bu become such a child-loving person? He even cared about Deng Ai so much.

"Deng Ai will be your little brother from now on, you have to take good care of him." Lu Bu looked at little Deng Ai, and suddenly said to Ma Yunlu.

"Master, this is not right. I am about the same age as you, so I should be regarded as the same generation as you. Although Xiao Deng Ai is cute, he is the adopted son of you. If he is my little brother, wouldn't I be younger than you?" The son is a generation younger." Hearing that Lu Bu made Deng Ai his little brother, Ma Yunlu said with a small mouth, listening to what he said, he was very unhappy about being Deng Ai's sister.

"General Lu has had a major accident, why are you still hanging around for this kid?" Lu Bu said displeasedly when he saw Lu Bu and Ma Yunlu surrounding Deng Ai looking for fun.

"My lord has something to do, Yun'er will leave first." Seeing Lu Zhi approaching, Ma Yunlu blushed, turned his head and walked out.

"Hehe, what is Mr. Luzhi looking for? I don't know anything about civil affairs." Lu Bu smiled and demonstrated his embarrassment, and he must let Lu Zhi see that it is not a good thing for him to be with Ma Yunlu.

"Hmph, in order to solve the backlog of civil affairs in Tianshui, the old man is already in a state of desperation. I didn't expect that your subordinates would not give me peace of mind. This is not another trouble. Tell me, Cheng Lian." As soon as Lu Zhi came in, Without looking at the embarrassed Lu Bu, he complained directly, and then handed the conversation over to Cheng Lian.

"It's like this. Didn't the general ask Dian Wei to find a way to make up for the lost thousand cavalry? As a result, General Dian Wei ordered people to collect the people's horses at the gate of the city, and then gave the people an IOU, saying that they would wait Returning the horses after winning the battle caused dissatisfaction among many people, so after reporting to Mr. Lu Zhi, I decided to come to General Lu." Cheng Lian said carefully, while speaking, he also sneaked a look Lu Bu's reaction.

"There is such a thing?" Lu Bu was surprised when he heard that, but he did not expect Dian Wei to come up with such a good solution.

"Needless to say, now the whole Tianshui City has spread the news, and there are uproars everywhere, and people are panicking. What do you think should be done? These subordinates of yours should be disciplined and disciplined." Lu Zhi once led the army. People are naturally familiar with military law.

"Dian Wei is indeed a little reckless in his actions. He doesn't think about it. As a general who leads troops, he has no popularity or prestige in Tianshui. How could he lend him a horse?" Lu Bu said with a smile, but He didn't take it seriously either, but he turned his attention to Lu Zhi and said, "If Mr. Lu Zhi is willing to come forward, I believe that the matter of borrowing a horse should be a sure thing." Lu Bu's first thought was not How to deal with Dianwei is a matter of how to borrow a horse.

"What are you talking about? I'm here to ask you to find a way to deal with Dian Wei. The common people are angry. Why are you imitating Dian Wei and thinking about naming a common horse?" Seeing that Lu Bu was absent-minded, Lu Zhi said angrily.

"Hahaha, Mr. Lu Zhi, don't get angry, listen to me first. You also know that although the Qiang people are defeated now, they still have [-] to [-] people, and they are all cavalry. In contrast, our army only has cavalry in the early [-]s , how to fight the next battle, but if the horses of the Tianshui people can be gathered to form a new cavalry, the horses of these people don’t need to be good, as long as they are horses, the cavalry equipped with these horses can be used for short distances around the city. In this way, our army's cavalry can be greatly expanded, which will be of great benefit to the battle." Lu Bu said to Lu Zhi with some temptation.

"What you said makes sense, but even if we collect all the horses of the common people to form cavalry, such cavalry has low combat effectiveness and we don't have enough time to train. It won't have much effect." Lu Zhi said with some worry.

"Sir, don't worry too much. Even if these troops are not useful for a while, it's okay to support them for a while. I also had a sudden idea. Since we have few soldiers, we should use these troops to scare the enemy. We When we only have [-] cavalry, we can entangle the enemy. Now if we have tens of thousands more cavalry, the enemy will definitely have a headache and dare not attack easily. In this way, we will have time to train these cavalry well. Well, and I believe that as long as they have been on the battlefield once or twice, they will become excellent cavalry." Lu Bu said vigorously.

"Okay, what you said is also reasonable. Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, we should indeed prepare more counterattacks." After hearing Lu Bu's words, Lu Zhi also nodded. Originally, Lu Zhi was not optimistic about Lu Bu's battle. But after getting in touch gradually, Lu Zhi began to look forward to Lu Bu's performance. "By the way, I'm here to complain to you. You haven't said what to do with Dianwei yet? Why did you get me involved." Lu Zhi remembered his purpose here, and said.

"Hahaha, Mr. Lu Zhi, don't worry, I will teach Dian Wei a lesson, and let him return all the borrowed horses." Lu Bu said with a smile.

After sending Lu Zhi away, some of his servants found Dian Wei not long after. Dian Wei knew that he had caused trouble, so he courted Lu Bu as soon as he came up.

"Hahaha, the general is looking for me. Guess, the general must know that I have already made up for the loss of a thousand cavalry, so please ask me." Dian Wei put his face close to his face as soon as he came up, but let Lu Bu I'm a little out of breath.

"Since you know everything, tell me how you did it." Lu Bu shook his head, smiled wryly, and asked Dian Wei.

"Hehe, I, first merged the [-] county cavalry in Tianshui into my team, then asked people to borrow [-] horses from the people in the city, and recruited some brave soldiers who could ride horses. The task assigned by the young master has been completed." Dian Wei said cheerfully.

"But how did I hear that the people don't want to lend you their horses?" Lu Bu glanced at Dian Wei and said calmly.

"Of course, who wants to lend their horses to others to fight? That's a never-ending business. But we are also fighting for them, so how can they not borrow horses?" Dian Wei said with a smile.After hearing this, he understood everything.

"How about this, you return all the horses you borrowed to others, and I will help you make up for the horses you lack." Lu Bu said quietly.

"So, the young master has a solution. Since the young master has a solution, why do you ask me to come forward to find the horse? But I have borrowed the horse, so why return it." Dian Wei said a little puzzled.

"Hmph, don't you understand? Your borrowing of the horse has caused a lot of bad influence. If you don't change it now, maybe tomorrow, the people of Tianshui will call me Lu Bu a bandit." Lu Bu saw Dian Wei didn't understand, and said angrily.

"Um, I didn't think of that." Dian Wei scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "This subordinate will go and return those horses. But general, we can't control people borrowing horses, so how can we replenish our military horses?" What about it?" Dian Wei said, still a little worried.

"Hmph, you, Dian Wei, are just a nobody. If you go to borrow a horse, others will not buy it. But if someone borrows it, it's different. Not only do ordinary people know how to borrow it, but they may rush to borrow it." Thinking of Lu Zhi, Lu Bu felt emotional in his heart.It must be that Lu Zhi is too famous. For ordinary gentry, it is something to be proud of to have some relationship with Lu Zhi, not to mention that if Lu Zhi borrows a horse, he will not lose anything.

Borrowing horses from Lu Zhi really got twice the result with half the effort, but not long after the news spread, someone took the initiative to lead the horses to Lu Zhi's door, and there was a queue in no time, making Dian Wei, who knew about it, sigh. , It's true that people are more popular than people.How could people sue Dian Wei for borrowing a horse, but for Lu Zhi borrowing a horse, people rushed to come as if they had encountered some happy event?
