Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 372 Sanying Enters Chang'an

"Oh, what good idea does Master Xun have?" Hearing Xun Yu's words, Lu Bu's heart brightened. Although he knew that even if he recruited troops now, the recruits would not be of much use, but Xun Yu's words would never be aimless, so he was a little surprised asked.

"Didn't General Hua Xiong capture Helian Chihuo today? Why doesn't General Lu Bu recruit this man, so that the five thousand Xianbei soldiers captured today can be used by me, which can make up for the loss of our soldiers." There was slight hesitation on his face, but he said quickly.As soon as Xun Yu's words came out, everyone was shocked.

"My general wants to be tough on foreigners. We don't know how many Xianbei people died at our hands. How could these Xianbei people be willing to work for us? I'm afraid it will be a problem for raising tigers." Hearing Xun Yu's opinion, Zhang Liao first He hesitated with a dignified expression.The Xianbei people and the Han people have been at war for many years, and they don't have a good impression of each other, and there has never been a Xianbei soldier in the Han army. Zhang Liao's words just represent the meaning of all the generals present.

"Yes, let the Xianbei people join us to fight against other Han troops with us, I'm afraid it will cause more trouble." At this time, Zhang Linger, who had not spoken all the time, also said.If the dispute between the princes is only a dispute within the Han people, once the Xianbei people are allowed to participate in their own army, what will the other princes think of Lu Bu?Once this kind of thing involves ethnic conflicts, it will become very troublesome.

"Lord Zhou Mu, as the saying goes, when all rivers return to the sea, tolerance is great. Lord Zhou Mu sits in Liangzhou. This relationship with foreigners will have to be faced sooner or later. We, the Han, have been fighting with people on the grassland since ancient times since the Qin Dynasty. All ethnic groups fight endlessly, but unfortunately, no matter how much effort we put in, how much sacrifice we make, and how many foreign ethnic groups we eliminate, we will not be able to solve the harassment of foreign ethnic groups. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so talented, so what if he divided and disintegrated the Xiongnu? Without the powerful Xiongnu, Xianbei took advantage of the situation Therefore, I think the best way is not to kill, but to control these powers and use them for me. If Master Zhou wants to achieve great things, he must have a mind like the sea, not only to accommodate Kyushu, but also to accommodate foreigners .” Xun Yu looked at the generals, then at Lu Bu, and then said.

"What Mr. Xun said is that this matter will have to be faced sooner or later, but it is meaningless for us to discuss more here. We still don't know if Helen Chihuo is willing to submit." After hearing Xun Yu's words, Lu Bu I am inspired. Although Lu Bu has always been cruel and ruthless when it comes to dealing with foreigners, Xun Yu is right. There is no end to killing foreigners. Since killing can't solve the problem, we need to find another way, not to mention that it is time to employ people. , How to attack Yongzhou and solve the livelihood of tens of thousands of soldiers under him is the most important issue now.Thinking of this, Lu Bu no longer hesitated, "Someone bring Helian Chi up."

Not long after, some soldiers brought Helian Chihuo to the hall.

"You guys, I, Helianchihuo, lost to you today. If you want to kill me, I, Helianchihuo, will never frown." shouted.Helian Chihuo had heard about Lu Bu's attitude towards foreigners. In the past, Lu Bu would not keep any prisoners. Once captured, all foreign captives would be killed. However, these days are different. It is said that once he becomes a prisoner, he will be demoted to a Slaves do some coolies, which is why there are more than 5000 captives today, and when these people were captured, they did not fight desperately.However, as a nobleman of the Huns and a general under Kirby Bear, being a slave is obviously not suitable for Helian Chihuo, and the only way in front of him is to seek death.

"Hahaha, General Helian Chihuo is really heroic, but if I, Lu Bu, wanted to kill the general, how could I let someone bring the general here? Lu Bu has long admired the reputation of the general, and this time he came to the general because he wanted to have a relationship with the general. My friend, I don't know if the general is willing or not." Seeing that Helianchihuo was brought over, Lu Bu waved his hand to make the guards retreat, and then stepped forward to untie the rope from Helianchihuo's body.

"Your Excellency, don't you intend to kill me?" Helian Chihuo was startled at first when he saw Lu Bu being treated so courteously, and then asked with some doubts.

"Haha, in my Lu Bu's eyes, there are only two kinds of people in the world. One is my friend, who Lu Bu will treat with courtesy, and the other is my enemy, who Lu Bu will never let go of. I don’t know if General Helian wants to be my enemy or my friend?” Lu Bu did not directly persuade Helian Chihuo to surrender, after all Helian Chihuo was the first foreign general that Lu Bu wanted to subdue. Naturally, Lu Bu would not be as friendly to these foreign generals as he was to other people. These foreigners are wild and unruly, but they don't need to care too much about politeness in front of them. They just need to speak clearly face to face.

"Eh?" After hearing Lu Bu's words, Helian Chihuo was shocked at first, he didn't expect Lu Bu to be so straightforward, there was no room for maneuver, but Helian Chihuo just thought about it for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: " His subordinate, Helian Chihuo, pays his respects to the master." Now that he had made up his mind, Helian Chihuo was very straightforward, and hurriedly bowed down and said.The grassland was originally a place where the law of wolf nature was practiced, and the losers would become other people's vassal slaves, and Helian Chihuo naturally knew about Lu Bu's capture of Xianbei people as slaves, but Lu Bu was able to defeat himself with less troops With [-] Xianbei iron cavalry, Helian Chihuo was willing to surrender to Lu Bu.

"Okay, General Helian is indeed a smart man. Go back now and persuade your subordinates to submit to me. In the future, I will conquer the world with me. I will naturally benefit from them." Seeing that Helian Chihuo surrendered so easily, Lu Bu Da To be happy, with the addition of Helianchihuo, Lu Bu not only greatly increased his strength, but more importantly, Lu Bu found a way to conquer the grassland. With the example of Helianchihuo, there will be more grassland tribes in the future Will be conquered by Lu Bu and become a vassal of Lu Bu.

"Master, don't worry, I'll take care of this little one." Helian Chihuo turned and left after speaking, but at this time, Helianchihuo was completely different from when he was brought here, as if he had gained a new life.

"Cheng Lian, go and look at him. Although he surrenders to me, he has to guard against it." Seeing Helian Chihuo leave, Lu Bu told Cheng Lian that Helian Chihuo must have just surrendered and was a foreigner. Lu Bu had to guard against it.

"Yes, this subordinate obeys." Cheng Lian nodded and left.

"Mr. Xun, from today onwards, you will be in Heqi City to store food, grass and military supplies for our army, and start preparing for the war. I will use Heqi City as my base camp. I am going to take Yongzhou." Seeing Cheng Lian leave, Lu Bu began to assign tasks for the Prepare to attack Yongzhou.

"It's the lord, and the subordinates know how to do it. It's just that one of the subordinates is weak and needs manpower to ensure that the lord's important affairs will not be missed." The military is only one day long, but the tasks accepted are not the same, not to mention that preparing for the army to attack Yongzhou is a systematic and complicated project that requires the cooperation of many people.

"Among the generals, if you need help, just ask." Lu Bu also knew that Xun Yu had just taken office and was not familiar with the situation in the army, but it was better to choose who to help Xun Yu than himself.It must be that Lu Bu knew about these people under him, although they all looked obedient in front of Lu Bu, but they were also very arrogant, Xun Yu might not be able to mobilize them.

"Hehe, the attack on Yongzhou is imminent, and all the generals are very busy. This subordinate and General Tai Shici are very close, so please ask General Tai Shici to help you." Xun Yu looked around at everyone's faces, and finally agreed. Deciding to keep Tai Shici, he must be familiar with Tai Shici, and Tai Shici admires Xun Yu very much, and Xun Yu is relatively easy to use. Others Xun Yu thinks it’s okay, maybe only Lu Bu can mobilize them.

"Okay, in this case, let General Tai Shici stay by your side and help you do things." Hearing Xun Yu's words, Lu Bu nodded and agreed. With a general like Tai Shici around, Lu Bu can feel at ease and peaceful. An Wei, but after thinking for a while, he continued: "Tai Shici seems a bit weak on his own, so let Cheng Lian and his staff stay to help you. Cheng Lian is a stable person and can help. You are quite busy. In addition, starting from tomorrow, the three thousand chain horses will be handed over to Tai Shici, and Dian Wei will be transferred back to me. The three thousand chain horses and the three thousand bow cavalry led by Cao Xing will no longer belong to the wolf cavalry."

Regarding this adjustment, Lu Bu only thought of it today. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, it is impossible for Lu Bu to spend too much time on the wolf cavalry. Fang Yue, the current two generals in the wolf cavalry, is useless, and Yan Xing Lu Bu He was not at ease, so he could only call Dian Wei back so that Lu Bu could feel more at ease. Moreover, Heqi City, as the base camp for attacking Yongzhou, needed a strong combat force to sit in it, and the chain chain horses were very useful for the rangers on the grassland. This is a huge advantage, so that the safety of Heqi City can be guaranteed. Although it is said that after today's battle, the Xianbei people suffered heavy losses, and it is unlikely that they will send troops to provoke again, but Lu Bu can't take risks.

"That's great. It's really boring to be away from the young master these days. It's great to be back with the young master." After hearing Lu Bu's arrangement, Dian Wei not only did not feel dissatisfied because of losing his military power, but became happy instead. As the number one bodyguard of the Three Kingdoms, it is hard not to be able to be with Lu Bu these days, but now that he can return to Lu Bu's side, he doesn't care about other gains and losses.

"Zang Ba Wei Xu, you have suffered heavy losses in this battle. I think you will not be able to replenish your troops and horses for a while, so I will allow each of you to choose a thousand Xianbei from among the captives to add to your cavalry. Hand over 3000 troops to Commander Helian Chihuo. As for the other vacancies, you should find a way to make up for it yourself.” Since Zang Ba and Wei Xu lost nearly [-] soldiers and horses this time, Lu Bu decided to transfer [-] troops from the captives. The two added that Zang Ba and Wei Xu must not be allowed to go to Yongzhou with fewer troops than Helian Chihuo.Besides, cutting some of Helian Chihuo's military power is also a precautionary measure.

"It's my lord, please rest assured that my subordinates will complete the task." After hearing Lu Bu's words, Zang Ba and Wei Xu were both happy. They lost their Tibetan seeds in the first battle today, and they are deeply afraid that they will fight with the remaining soldiers and horses in the future. , That's a big reduction in strength. Now that they have Lu Bu's words, the two are very happy. With these people from Xianbei, and some wounded people will come back in a few days, if they recruit some new people, it won't take long. The two will resume their previous soldiers and horses.

"My lord, now we have four thousand wolf cavalry, three thousand chain horse cavalry, three thousand cavalry archers, three thousand cavalry brought by General Hua Xiong, plus three thousand Xianbei cavalry brought by Helian Chihuo, and Wei Xu. General and General Zang Ba have [-] cavalry, our army has [-] cavalry soldiers alone. Before the battle, it was much stronger. More importantly, after this battle, we captured a lot of horses and military resources, which will be very beneficial to our future wars. In this way, our gains from this battle are It's not too small." Seeing that Lu Bu had almost finished assigning tasks, Xun Yu cheered up again from the side.

"Mr. Xun Yu is right. Now our army has a lot to do. When the [-] soldiers in the process arrive, we will enter Yongzhou." Hearing Xun Yu's settlement, Lu Bu felt more at ease. The initial anger dissipated.It must be that Lu Bu has only [-] cavalry in his hands. Once he loses [-] cavalry, it will be an immeasurable loss for Lu Bu.

Naturally, Lu Bu couldn't rest in the days that followed, and from time to time, he called people from the Heqi Chamber of Commerce and military supplies to discuss things. Lu Bu never worried about such things in wars before. Great war, but now it is different. Although Liangzhou and Yongzhou are adjacent to each other, it is necessary to launch an attack from Xianbei's territory by surprise, which will bring a lot of trouble to logistics support. How many soldiers and horses are needed to escort a logistics team, and how much food and grass will be consumed along the way? , how much ordnance needs to be prepared, these are quite troublesome things, Lu Bu didn't think about it before, but now he has to think about it, only at this time did Lu Bu understand how close the relationship between war and finance is.Although today's battle was a big victory, it also suffered heavy losses. Just repairing and repairing the equipment is a huge expense. Fortunately, Xun Yu is in charge, otherwise it would be impossible to find a clue.

While Lu Bu was overwhelmed by logistics, the city of Chang'an was completely immersed in the tension and excitement before the battle. Wang Yun had already prepared all the preparations and was about to fight Li Jue and Guo Si.

"Hahaha, hahaha, that's great, it's really great." Holding a volume of secret letters in his hand, Wang Yun laughed loudly, the laughter was very free and easy, and he seemed to be much younger all of a sudden.

"What could make Wang Situ so happy? Could it be that Li Jue or Guo Si died accidentally?" Seeing Wang Yun's slightly groggy smile, Ma Teng said sarcastically.These days Ma Teng holds great power in his hands, and gradually he has learned to be domineering. Although Wang Yun and Ma Teng control the government with one article and one military, but in troubled times, even if the Chinese officials are able to reach the sky, they have to rely on military generals to turn and kill King Dong Zhuo Yun needs to rely on Ma Teng, and this time he is fighting Li Jue and Guo Si, Wang Yun still has to rely on Ma Teng, which makes Ma Teng unknowingly arrogant.

"Hehe, that's not true. The secret letter in my hand was sent back from Xiliang quickly. It said that Lu Bu was fighting Xianbei, and almost all the soldiers and horses that Xiliang could mobilize had been transferred away. The battle between the Xianbei people was extremely dangerous, which led to Lu Bu not even caring about the safety of Xiliang." Wang Yun was happy at this time, but he didn't pay attention to Ma Teng's words.He handed the secret letter in his hand to Ma Teng and said.

"Hehe, Wang Situ seems to be very concerned about that boy Lu Bu. In fact, it was purely opportunistic for Lu Bu to take over Liangzhou. Why should Wang Situ care too much?" Seeing that Wang Yun cared so much about Lu Bu's information, Ma Teng said indifferently.

"I can't agree with what the general said. Think about it carefully, who is the one who benefits us the most from killing Dong Zhuo? It's not me, Wang Yun, or you, Ma Teng, but Lu Bu. We can't kill Dong Zhuo. Controlling Chang'an and its surrounding area, Lu Bu has become the lord of a state in one fell swoop from a general without a foothold in the past, with a large area of ​​land and population. He has become a force that cannot be ignored among the princes of the world. It’s fine if you get it from Lv Bu’s martial arts, but if all of this was calculated by Lv Bu in advance, it would be too scary.” Seeing that Ma Teng didn’t care about Lv Bu, Wang Yun couldn’t help reminding.

"Hahaha, Wang Situ thinks too much. If Lu Bu has such a plan, wouldn't he become a great military adviser who can look down on the world? It's not that I know Lu Bu. If Wang Situ said that Lu Bu was unparalleled in bravery and invincible in the world, this I do believe it, but if it is said that Lu Bu is capable of such calculations, then I won't believe it." Although Ma Teng was also shocked that Lu Bu got such benefits in this struggle, he still refused to accept Lu Bu's intelligence Extraordinary statement.

"Don't forget, beside Lu Bu there is Xun Yu who is called Wang Zuozhi's talent. Maybe all this was not planned by Lu Bu, but it is very likely that Xun Yu planned it." Wang Situ reminded again.

"This is somewhat possible. Thinking about it carefully, I have seen this Xun Yu by Lu Bu's side. Speaking of which, the current battle between Lu Bu and Xianbei is actually the best time to seize two weeks, but it's a pity that we are far away from the two weeks. With Guo Si standing in the middle, I really missed a good opportunity." Not only Wang Yun, but also Ma Teng was a little envious of Lu Bu's exclusive victory in Liangzhou. Ma Teng chose to leave Chang'an not only out of revenge, but also because he felt Xiliang is remote and its products are limited. It is too difficult to compete in the Central Plains. It is certain that Ma Teng has been in Xiliang for many years, but there is still no unity in Xiliang.He really didn't have the ability to compete in the Central Plains from Xiliang, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu could easily do what he didn't do after a short time.

"Report to Master Situ and General, three people came outside the door, claiming to be Liu Bei, the county magistrate of Pingyuan, and his two righteous brothers, and wanted to ask to see Master Situ and the general." Ma Teng reports.
