Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 41 The Use of Slaves

Hearing that Lu Bu finally let go.Yu Fuluo seemed to hear some fairy voice.But he didn't notice that Lu Bu ignored Fu Luo and his two hundred guards in his words.

Yu Fuluo hurriedly asked his subordinates to throw the bow, arrow and scimitar on the ground.Then he started beating the horse and left backwards.At this time, thousands of thoughts passed through Yu Fuluo's mind, and he was very entangled.

Are you going to turn against Lu Bu?When Yu Fuluo had already left Lu Bu's side with a stone's throw.Yu Fuluo still didn't make up his mind.It wasn't because of Yu Fuluo's indecision, how could a person who dared to murder his Shanyu be an indecisive person?
The reason why Yu Fuluo couldn't make up his mind was because he was always uncertain.With the two hundred guards around him, is it possible to take down Lu Bu?One must know that Lu Bu's impression on Yu Fuluo is too deep, he is a murderer who cannot be offended.When he was not sure of victory, Yu Fuluo was really unwilling to provoke Lu Bu.

But go back like this?Yu Fuluo really didn't care.Yu Fuluo said that after returning to the territory of the Xiongnu, he would become the Shanyu of the Huns. If others knew that he was leading so many people, he would be so scared by a teenage child that he would not even dare to fight back.Then what kind of majesty does he have as a Shanyu? He might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Yu Fuluo was thinking and couldn't make up his mind.There was a sound of horseshoes in the distance.It turned out that Ding Yuan finally rushed over with his troops.Ding Yuan could see from a long distance that Lu Bu was facing two hundred Hun soldiers single-handedly.Not only did Lu Bu show no fear, but the Huns retreated slowly, greatly surprised.

When Yu Fuluo saw the cavalry of the Han army rushing over from a distance.Finally made up his mind, turned the horse's head, and quickly rode the horse towards the grassland.

It was only when Yu Fuluo sat down on his horse and had run three arrows away from Lu Bu.Only then did Yu Fuluo dare to turn his head around, and said something to Lu Bu, a lukewarm and cruel word.

"Lu Bu, I will remember what happened today in Fuluo, we will meet later."

As for the meaning of this ruthless sentence, what did Yu Fuluo remember?Lu Bu couldn't figure it out.But with this ruthless sentence, Yu Fuluo finally felt that he had won back his face.

Seeing Yu Fuluo go away, Lu Bu slowly put away the longbow in his hand.Only then did Lu Bu turn his head and look at a steed's mount not far away. The second horse was slightly taller than the others, with a bright white body and no stray hairs.What is even more rare is that as Xubuguduhou Shanyu, since Xubuguduhou Shanyu was shot and killed by the Yufulo people, the other horses neighed non-stop, terrified.But this white horse didn't neigh at all, it just stood there, staring blankly at Xubu Gudu Hou Shanyu's body.

In fact, the reason why Lu Bu suddenly stood up to fight for the corpse of Hou Bugudu Shanyu just now was not that Lu Bu wanted to use the head of Xubugudu Hou Shanyu to receive some reward.The main reason is that Lu Bu took a fancy to this horse.I don't want the horse to be taken away by Ufulo.Only then did Lu Bu stand out, and defeated the enemy with his supreme courage.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Ding Yuan led people to rush over.Otherwise, it's really hard to say what Lu Bu's play will be like.

Seeing it, this divine steed finally fell into his hands.Lu Bu couldn't wait to jump off his horse, and a few steps came to this magnificent horse.He reached out and touched the horse's head, put his mouth in front of the horse's ears and said, "Your old master is dead, and you will follow me from now on."

As soon as Lu Bu finished speaking, the white horse raised its head, and a high-pitched neigh came out of the horse's mouth, looking extremely excited.Seeing this, Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "From now on, you will be called Zhuifeng."

At this time, Ding Yuan had brought people over.Looking at the corpses of the Huns all over the place.Surprised, he asked Lu Bu:

"You killed all these people?"

Seeing Ding Yuan ask, Lu Bu shook his head, pointing to the Hun soldier who was shot between the eyebrows by Lu Bu.Said: "Only this one was killed by me, the others were killed by their own people due to internal strife."

Then Lu Bu explained to Ding Yuan all the things that happened here.After hearing this, Ding Yuan didn't take it seriously, and said: "What are you talking about, my son? You killed the Xiongnu Shanyu. This is a great contribution, so there is no excuse. Although you are young, you can't hide brilliance. You should not be humble."

Ding Yuan's intention in saying this is obvious, killing Hou Bugudu Hou Shanyu is a great contribution.For such a great contribution, Ding Yuan certainly hoped that his adopted son Lu Bu would come to receive it.It's not about taking credit from others, as long as you recognize it, there will be many benefits.Such a good thing, could it make him fly?

Besides, this battle was fought so beautifully, and Hou Bugudu Hou Shanyu was killed.I believe the emperor must be very happy and want a big reward.At that time, Ding Yuan will also be asked to talk about the process of killing Hou Bugudu Hou Shanyu.

At that time, Ding Yuan couldn't say that it was because the Huns had internal strife, and Xu Bugudu Hou Dan was killed by the Huns.And he, Ding Yuan, was just a blind cat and a dead mouse.Picked up a dead body and came to claim credit.If that's the case, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Han Dynasty.

Hearing what Ding Yuan said, Lu Bu nodded indifferently.Lu Bu believed that Ding Yuan would not harm him.As for those matters in the officialdom, Lu Bu doesn't want to shut them down yet, anyway, Ding Yuan will take care of them.

Seeing that Ding Yuan had finished his orders, Lu Bu led Zhui Feng and ran away in a hurry.After Lu Bu got Chasing Wind, he was overjoyed.Now Lu Bu really wanted to know how much better this chasing wind was than the horses Lu Bu had ridden before, and what was so good about it.

Lu Bu galloped away on Chasing Wind.Ding Yuan looked at the back of Lu Bu going away.But he could only smile bitterly and said, "It's nice to be young."

Lv Bu is now unofficial and light, so he can naturally do what he wants.But Ding Yuan can't do it anymore. The war is over, but Ding Yuan's busy life has just begun.

Looking at the battle report that just came up, Ding Yuan frowned and became speechless for a moment.

In this battle with the Xiongnu, the entire Wuyuan County was mobilized.Originally, Wuyuan County raised [-] soldiers and horses, and it seemed that the funds were tight.In order to deal a fatal blow to the Huns, this group of good Ding Yuan adopted Gao Shun's strategy and recruited almost all soldiers and strong villagers who could go to the battlefield in Wuyuan County.Although this is beneficial to the war.But after this battle, more than [-] people died alone, and Ding Yuan couldn't afford the housing expenses of these more than [-] people.

But this is only a small part of the huge military expenditure.There are also wounded soldiers who need soothing treatment.And those villagers who actively joined the army when Wuyuan County was invaded by foreigners, although they can be demobilized and go home now, but they left blood, the government can't let them go home empty-handed.

As for the Huns who occupied Wuyuan County, they also severely damaged the government buildings and city walls, and Ding Yuan has not considered the cost of these repairs at all.

After much deliberation, Ding Yuan was very helpless, so he could only sigh.He said to the outside: "Come here, invite my son Lu Bu to discuss important matters."

The guard at the door agreed, and hurriedly ran outside.

Soon, Lu Bu came to Ding Yuan in military uniform.He bowed to Ding Yuan and said, "Father summoned the child, I don't know what to order."

Seeing Lu Bu coming in, Ding Yuan hurriedly smiled and said: "My son has worked hard these days. I will give you two thousand for my father to prepare you to be the cavalry captain of Wuyuan County and start training the cavalry of Wuyuan County. quota. What do you think?"

When Lu Bu heard that he had finally become an official, he was still a riding captain, so he was naturally happy.It's just that the cavalry quota of two thousand is really a little less.What Lu Bu didn't think of, this benefit is not easy to get, Ding Yuan's next words really surprised Lu Bu.

Seeing that Lu Bu was happy, Ding Yuan continued, "Now Wuyuan County's finances are tight, can you use the money you promised last time?"

As soon as Ding Yuan mentioned this, Lu Bu naturally understood.In ancient times, the most money-burning thing was nothing more than war.And for Ding Yuan, the prefect who just took over, it is indeed not easy to support the cost of such a war.However, it is not impossible to think about it.Thinking of this, Lu Bu rolled his eyes and said, "Father doesn't need to worry too much about money. Although Wuyuan County is not rich, it's not that there is no way out."

Hearing what Lu Bu said, Ding Yuan suddenly became interested.Quickly asked: "If my son has any good strategies, feel free to tell me."

Lu Bu chuckled and said, "Actually, my lord, when the Huns came to Wuyuan County this time, they confiscated a lot of money and food. When the Huns withdrew, they didn't take it with them."

When Lu Bu reminded him, Ding Yuan suddenly became happy.

"My son is right. We risked our lives to snatch the money and food back from the Huns. Now that we use it, it can be regarded as taking from the people and using it for the people."

After solving the financial problem, Ding Yuan is in a good mood.Said to Lu Bu: "In a few days, I will go to the capital and report the situation of the war here to the emperor. By the way, I will present the heads of all the Hun captives and Hou Shanyu of Nasubugudu to the emperor. Do you want to go to the capital?" Come with me?"

After Lu Bu lowered his head and pondered for a while, he shook his head and said, "My lord father is busy with affairs in the court, so I won't follow you. These days, I have been on the battlefield, and I have a lot of experience in martial arts. So I want to take advantage of this time, Clean it up. Besides, the boy has just served as the captain of the cavalry, and he also needs to be proficient in military affairs, and I am afraid that he will not be able to go to the capital with his father to see the world."

Once Ding Yuan heard that what Lu Bu said was reasonable, he didn't say any more.Just nodded and said: "I didn't expect that at such a young age, you already have such a calm heart. I thought you would follow me to the capital to see. But this is also good, a man should be so stable, not for the world shaken by things. Only in this way can we make a difference.”

Hearing Ding Yuan's praise, Lu Bu blushed a little.In fact, Lu Bu really wanted to visit the capital, but Wuyuan County still had a lot of things to deal with.For example, there were quite a few Hun prisoners captured this time.It is impossible for Ding Yuan to take all these people to the capital to make the emperor happy.Then the rest of the people have to find a way to deal with it.

Lu Bu planned to sell all these people to Xu You.But I suddenly remembered my previous life and learned that Shanxi produces high-quality coal.If these captives were taken out to dig coal, it would be difficult for Lu Bu to make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu smiled flatteringly at Ding Yuan and said, "Father, our army has captured as many as seven or eight thousand Hun prisoners this time. I wonder how Father is going to deal with these people?"

When Ding Yuan saw that Lu Bu brought up the matter of the captives, he said with a serious face: "If they are not of my race, their hearts must be different. Keeping them is a waste of food. Find a time and you and Gao Shun will be responsible. Kill them all."

When he heard that Ding Yuan was going to kill all these captives, Lu Bu was taken aback.Lu Bu thought that he was already very cold-blooded in killing people on the battlefield.But he didn't expect that Ding Yuan would kill seven to eight thousand people without even frowning.

Lu Bu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Father, doing this will hurt the peace of heaven. Besides, don't father need to bring some things with him when he goes to Beijing this time?"

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Ding Yuan smiled and said, "Man, how can there be a woman's benevolence. As for the offering of captives, I don't plan to use living people. When the time comes, I will find a car and put the heads of Huns on it to Luoyang. Let those ministers of the Manchu Dynasty see what a battle on the battlefield is, and let them see the blood."

Ding Yuan's words shocked Lu Bu a lot.In Lu Bu's heart, Ding was originally just a Confucian general, but now he has added a lot of iron and blood flavor.It made Lu Bu a little anxious.

Lu Bu sighed and said, "Father, if you actually kill them, it's better to let them do something for us big men. Now the entire Wuyuan County is severely damaged, and there are many places that need labor. In my opinion, it's better to demote these people Slaves, make amends for their crimes. Wouldn't it be better?"

Upon hearing Lu Bu's words, Ding Yuan frowned.But it slowly unfolded after a while.

At this time, Ding Yuan laughed and said: "My son is still thoughtful, and my father is a little stubborn on this matter. If these people can be made to benefit the people of our Wuyuan County, it will be all right at first sight. This matter Since you proposed it, then you are responsible."
