Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 294
Chapter 290 Four

"Um, it looks like I'm going to be a big landlord." Lu Bu didn't expect things to turn out like this. Originally, Lu Bu only wanted to make a fortune from it, but unfortunately he didn't expect to sell the land and become a landlord.But this is impossible.Landlord?Thinking of this, Lu Bu suddenly felt that the landlord is also good, you must know that the word landlord has always been a symbol of status.

"It's actually not bad, General. Didn't the General always feel that he has a bad reputation? Now that we have so much land, why not take the opportunity to recruit refugees to plant the land? On the one hand, it can gather popularity, and on the other hand, it can also change the general's belief in Baixin. Image." Seeing the helplessness on Lu Bu's face, Zhang Liao suddenly suggested.Apart from Lu Bu, Zhang Liao cared the most about Lu Bu's reputation. Ever since he decided to serve Lu Bu with all his heart, Zhang Liao had always hoped to find a way to help Lu Bu's reputation. Seeing this opportunity, he would not give up and quickly suggested.

"That's a good idea. You can actually do other things by recruiting refugees." Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Gao Shun's eyes lighted up at first, and he looked at Lu Bu and said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Feeling Gao Shun's fiery gaze, Lu Bu's heart moved, as if he had thought of something, he turned and looked at Gao Shun as well.

"Hehe, the general guessed right. Thinking about the yellow scarves back then, they were just refugees at first. These people were displaced and suffered a lot. As long as the general gives them a chance to settle down, they will be grateful to the general and will do anything for the general. As long as the general takes them in, it is tantamount to tying their fate with the general, and the soldiers selected by the general from among them will definitely become the most loyal subordinates of the general." Gao Shun said a little excitedly.

Gao Shun, who is good at military training, naturally knows that besides organization and discipline, there is another important factor for a strong army, which is profit.If an army only has organization and discipline, such an army is indeed strong enough, but only when all soldiers are united in fundamental interests, such an army is a dynamic army.The simplest benefit is clear rewards and punishments, and if Lu Bu gathers refugees to cultivate the land under his name, and then selects an army from among the refugees, then such an army will be impeccable in loyalty first, as long as it is further trained, its combat effectiveness will definitely not be good. generally.

"Hehe, this is indeed a good way. Gao Shun, you are good at training soldiers, so I will leave this matter to you. First use these lands to call refugees to farm, and organize them to train during the slack season. Finally, the outstanding ones will be recruited. Selected into our army." Lu Bu looked at the generals, and finally made a decision.

What Lu Bu didn't know was that his mistaken decision actually had the meaning of military settlement, but his approach weakened the military color of the military settlement, but it already had a simple prototype.

"General, what shall we do next? The Prime Minister gave me an order to attack Mianchi." Only then did Gao Shun remember his purpose of camping here this time, and said to Lu Bu.

"Mianchi? I'm afraid this area will be given to the princes in the future. Even if this Mianchi is taken down, it will be of no use. We will guard it here. As long as Sun Jian doesn't take the initiative to provoke him, we won't bother to care about him. Here for now Let's take a rest, and let's go back to Chang'an after the Prime Minister's brigade passes by." Lu Bu said lightly that Sun Jian in Mianchi was not interested in arriving.

At nightfall, the east gate of Mianchi City was quietly opened, and teams of soldiers and horses came out of the city quietly. These people were none other than Sun Jian and his soldiers who slipped out at night.

"General, it seems that there is nothing outside the city. Let's hurry." Huang Gai first went out of the city to observe the surrounding situation, and then quietly said to Sun Jian who came out from behind.

"Okay, let's go to Luoyang right now, be careful not to let Lu Bu's men find out on the way." Watching the soldiers and horses advancing quietly in the dark night, Sun Jian warned Huang Gai.

"I don't know if General Cheng Pu has arrived in Luoyang now." Huang Gai felt aggrieved when he remembered that he had encouraged Sun Jian to capture Mianchi this time, but he didn't get any benefits. Cheng Pu's attack on Yong'an is beneficial.

"General Huang, you don't have to worry about it. In fact, we have already succeeded this time. It's just that those princes are not able to accomplish anything. If they can arrive as quickly as Lu Bu, we will naturally beat that old dog Dong Zhuo to the ground. At this time, they missed the opportunity of the battle, so we can only retreat quietly." Seeing Huang Gai's thoughts, Sun Jian tried to persuade him.

"Father, my son heard that Lu Bu is very brave. Father, why don't you let the son see his abilities. Haier finally met Lu Bu this time. If he misses this time, he may never have another chance." Sun Ce followed Sun Jian After a while, he mustered up his courage and told Sun Jian that he wanted to compete with Lu Bu.

"Hehehe, it's true that a calf is not afraid of tigers at birth. It's really unmatched by ordinary people to have such courage at such a young age as a major general." Based on what Sun Jian knew about Sun Jian, Sun Jian did not want Sun Ce to see Lu Bu's skills anyway. A careless mistake on the battlefield would mean goodbye forever. Moreover, Sun Ce was too young, so going to Lu Bu like this was like giving food.

"You'd better never see Lu Bu's bravery for the rest of your life. Remember not to say such things again." Sure enough, as Huang Gai expected, Sun Jian's old face froze when he heard his son's words, and he immediately turned his back on him. The yearning for force is growing.

After groping in the dark all night, when the dawn was coming, Sun Jian finally brought his soldiers to the outside of Luoyang City. Looking at the desolate and simple word "Luoyang" on the city gate, Sun Jian felt a burst of embarrassment endlessly.Sun Jian couldn't help thinking of the splendid and prosperous city he saw when he came to Luoyang.At this time, Luoyang was scorched black, and it looked even more terrifying in the dark night. The fires in some places were still not extinguished, and whether there were still flames coming out, all these all showed the glory of this city in the past and today.

"General, let's go to the imperial city first." Just as Sun Jian was in a daze, Huang Gai quietly approached and whispered to Sun Jian.

"Well, let's go and have a look, and ask the soldiers to search in other places to see if there is anything found." Sun Jian quickly recovered from his trance, and felt the deep meaning of Huang Gai's words, so he turned around The soldiers sent them away, and then hurried towards the direction of the imperial city.

It's just that neither Sun Jian nor Huang Gai noticed at this time that Sun Ce, who was following them, had disappeared at some point.

"General, what do you think we found?" Not long after Sun Jian and Huang Gai entered the palace, a person hurried towards him with a bundle in his hand. This person was none other than Cheng who came to Luoyang first. general.I saw Cheng Pu opened the bag in his hand and put it in front of Sun Jian and said.

"This? What is this? It's a jade seal!" Sun Jian was startled when he saw the item in the yellow cloth bundle, but he didn't recognize it. After looking carefully, he recognized it. The item in the bundle turned out to be a jade seal.

I saw that this square jade seal was only four inches long, with dragon patterns carved on it, but a corner was missing on the side, which was inlaid with gold.Sun Jian gently opened the jade seal, only to see that it was engraved with eight big characters: "Being ordered by heaven, you will live forever."

"General, this is the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom. This jade was originally discovered by Bian He, a native of Chu State, under Jingshan Mountain. Later, when it came to King Wen of Chu, King Wen ordered someone to open it, and then he got this jade, and called it Heshibi. Later, after Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms and unified China, he obtained the Heshibi and carved it as the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. He ordered Prime Minister Li Si to write eight insect and bird seal characters on Heshibi. , implying that the Qin Dynasty has been passed down from generation to generation. Later, the great ancestor Liu Bang captured Chang'an, and Qin II dedicated the imperial jade seal to the great ancestor. Only then did the Han Dynasty have a history of 300 years. This time the general led his troops into Luoyang and got this treasure. The general signaled to let the general take the big man and replace it." Cheng Pu handed over the imperial jade seal in his hand to Sun Jian, and all the stars were spreading and flickering, obviously looking forward to Sun Jian's taking over the world.

"As expected, I will bid farewell to all the princes, and then return to Jiangdong, where I can prepare my troops for the world." Facing the jade seal of Chuanguo and Cheng Pu's persuasive temptation, Sun Jian was obviously fascinated by the bright future he had woven, and felt a twinge in his heart. A strong self-confidence filled the whole body.

"General, we have to put away the treasures at this time, and we will make plans when we return to Jiangdong." Looking around, Huang Gai suppressed the excitement in his heart, and persuaded Sun Jian.

"Okay, okay, pass the order down and keep it secret." As soon as Huang Gai said this, Sun Jian suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly put away the Chuanguo Yuxi.

The crowd didn't see it, but they were looking at this side not far away for a while, with an evil smile on the corner of their mouths, this person was Yuan Shao sent to Sun Jian to have a secret talk.

It turned out that in order to better control the actions of the princes under him, Yuan Shao had already placed spies around these princes. At this time, the spies saw the actions of Sun Jian and the three of them.

"General, Sun Jian's army and horses in Mianchi have all escaped yesterday night." Lu Bu received news from Sun Jian's army just after waking up. Gao Shun had already learned about Sun Jian's actions. By the way, Gao quietly suppressed the news, and did not report it to Lu Bu until Lu Bu woke up.

"Sun Jian is very wise. It's good to leave, we should go on the road." Lu Bu said slowly, looking at the generals who came from outside the tent.Lu Bu was not surprised by Sun Jian's leaving without saying goodbye. Anyway, Lu Bu had no intention of fighting Sun Jian at this time.

"General, the whole army is ready, shouldn't we leave?" Looking at Lu Bu, Gao Shun said with great interest.

Not long after Lv Bu's army set off, a young figure appeared on the official road and stopped Lv Bu's army. This person was none other than Sun Ce who came alone.
