Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 81
Chapter 81

"It's true that my Yellow Turban believers are indeed more than the people in the world. However, although there are many people in the world, they may not all be used by the court. My Yellow Turban believers are different. They have lofty beliefs and are determined to clean up the universe and rebuild the mountains and rivers. I Seeing that you are a talent, how about staying by my side and accomplishing great things together."

Having said this, Zhang Jiao smiled slightly and looked at Lu Bu.

"I don't know how many officers and soldiers the Yellow Turban Army has killed since the general's uprising? How about the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army?"

Seeing Zhang Jiao's complacent look, Lu Bu asked a question out of the blue.If the heavens want to destroy people, they must first make them crazy. Lu Bu is the same. Although his words were sharp at the beginning, he showed some kindness to Zhang Jiao, so as to avoid repeated suppressions that would make Zhang Jiao lose control of his emotions and cause troubles instead. .

Lu Bu first said that the Yellow Turban Army was not as powerful as the official army, and then asked about the popular support, which made Zhang Jiao feel a little relieved when he was greatly disappointed by the court. At this time, he asked about the losses of the Yellow Turban Army and the official army on the battlefield.

Regarding Lu Bu's question, Zhang Jiao began to think about it for himself, and his brows were furrowed after a while.There is no other reason. Since the Zhangjiao uprising, although the Yellow Turban Army has developed rapidly and doubled in strength, the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army are also very large. Compared with the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army, the casualties of the official army are much less.

Although the Yellow Turban Army fought many battles, most of them fought against local tyrants. They fought against some landlords, such as Liu Bei and others. There were not many battles with real official troops. The largest battle was the Yingchuan War a few days ago. , although the Yellow Turban Army won the Yingchuan War, the total number of officials and troops who killed the captives was only [-], but the Yellow Turban Army lost in this battle was more than [-] to [-]. This is still the result of victory. What failed?

Zhang Jiao felt that the Yellow Turban Army could not bear that kind of defeat.

Seeing Zhang Jiao remain silent, Lu Bu changed the subject again.

"May I ask the general, how do you plan to defeat Lu Zhi outside the city and his [-] army? How many lives of the Yellow Turban soldiers does the general plan to sacrifice to win this war?"

As soon as Lu Bu said this, Zhang Jiao was overwhelmed with emotion. As the saying goes, kindness does not command soldiers. A general's success must be piled up with tens of thousands of heads. If Zhang Jiao wants to defeat Lu Zhi and his [-] troops, he must have sacrifices. More preparations for the lives of Yellow Turban fighters.Lu Bu was sure that Zhang Jiao couldn't bear the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army, so he said these heartbreaking words.

"Lu Bu is not talented, but I still remember that in the battle of Yingchuan that day, our army had the right time and place to ambush Huangfusong. Even so, our army had [-] to [-] casualties, but I don't know the general, in order to defeat Lu Zhi, How many Yellow Turban soldiers is the general going to kill or wound? By the time the general becomes famous in the future, I am afraid that there will be no more than one million old Yellow Turbans who follow the general today."

Lu Bu said with a long sigh.Although Lu Bu spoke lightly, Zhang Jiao's ears felt like a sharp knife pierced Zhang Jiao's heart every word of these words, making Zhang Jiao's expression extremely ugly.

"Hmph, you are a little junior, dare to sneer at me like this, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Enraged by Lu Bu's words, Zhang Jiao stared at Lu Bu fiercely, as if he wanted to eat Lu Bu.However, Lu Bu knew that what he said just now, in order to make Zhang Jiao realize the reality, he had to give Zhang Jiao a strong medicine.But Zhang Jiao must be the overlord of one party, and if he loses face too much, it may backfire, which is not what Lu Bu wants.

"Hahaha, the boy's words just now are indeed a bit offensive, but the reason why the boy rushed to speak out is because the boy knows that the general raised his troops for the sake of the people's livelihood, and he didn't want to see the people die tragically under the gun, so he did it. The soldiers have made dangerous moves and have come to this point. Therefore, I also believe that the general will not bear the people of the world for the sake of the well-being of the people of the world. The general will definitely make the right choice for the people of the world. "

Lu Bu talked eloquently, and then gave Zhang Jiao a high hat. The reason why Lu Bu dared to say something in front of Zhang Jiao and let Zhang Jiao withdraw from the world hegemony was not wishful thinking of Lu Bu. At that time, when I saw a Taoist temple built here, I thought it was just Zhang Jiao's arty, just showing it to the believers below, but after thinking about it carefully, I also recognized the clues. With Zhang Jiao's current status, there is no need to show it to others. In this way, in order to rule the thoughts of believers, Zhang Jiao should establish a Taoist temple in the army, not in his own mansion, and a person who has the power to kill tens of millions of people shut himself in the Taoist temple. It means that Zhang Jiao now has a different idea about raising troops.Anyone who can become a spiritual leader must have a heart of love for the people, and Zhang Jiao is no exception.

After talking with Zhang Jiao, Lu Bu knew that his judgment was right.

"Hehehe, you boy, you have such sharp language, but my yellow scarf is in such a good situation, how can you just give up if you say give up? You are my daughter's guest, and my daughter's savior, so naturally My guest, today's matter, I don't care about it with you, don't say more about it in the future."

Zhang Jiao's tone was blunt, and he had already made a decision.Lu Bu also understood that Zhang Jiao had millions of yellow scarves in his hand, how could he give up just because of his few words?However, from Zhang Jiao's attitude, Lu Bu already felt that it is not impossible for Zhang Jiao to give up fighting for world hegemony, what is missing now is an opportunity.A reason for Zhang Jiao to let go, and this reason cannot be given by Lu Bu.

If a person wants to give up when his career is in full swing, it is as difficult as asking a person to commit suicide, but as long as a suicide seed is planted in his heart, then when this person's career starts When things go downhill, the person can easily commit suicide.

What Lu Bu is doing now is to plant a seed of retreat in Zhang Jiao's heart. When the Yellow Turban begins to decline, Lu Bu will have great confidence in persuading Zhang Jiao to retire, thereby saving many people in the Yellow Turban , To leave the cornerstone for the growth of the Han nation, to prevent the Han nation from being seriously injured in this war.

"Hahaha, since the general doesn't want to talk about this topic anymore, I will naturally take orders."

Seeing that Zhang Jiao was a little irritable, Lu Bu stopped the conversation very wisely.

"The old man asked you? Are you from the government? Did the government send you to persuade the old man?"

Looking at Lu Bu, Zhang Jiao suddenly asked.No wonder Zhang Jiao doubted Lu Bu so much, he must have said that what Lu Bu said was too much like a government lobbyist.

"Does the general think that the government's lobbyists will help Miss Ling'er arrest Yuan Shu?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

"This is exactly what I'm confused about. I haven't heard of someone who can use Yuan Shu as a meeting ceremony. I haven't heard of anyone in the government. Who has such courage."

Zhang Jiao looked at Lu Bu, a little puzzled. Hearing Lu Bu's advice to quit fighting for world hegemony, Zhang Jiao felt that Lu Bu should belong to the government, but how could the government help Zhang Ling'er capture Yuan Shu?Yuan Shu was the imperial court's Beizhong Lang, and was at the same level as Lu Zhi, Huangfusong, and Zhu Jun. Using this person to win the trust of the Yellow Turban was really not something that an imperial court official could do.

"Just like what my predecessors have seen, I, Lu Bu, also hate the decline of the Han court and the corruption of the imperial court, but I don't want to see the yellow scarf soldiers use their lives to destroy the imperial court. Because the sacrifice of doing so is too huge It has only been half a year since the Yellow Turban rebellion, and the number of Yellow Turbans and civilians who died in this war is already countless. I don’t know how many people will be left on the land of my big man when this war continues. Now the big man has constant external worries, If the internal troubles continue, I am afraid that the colorful world of the Han people in the future will not be passed on to the descendants of the Han family safely."

Lu Bu didn't want to say more today, but he couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Hmph, is it my Yellow Turban's fault for today's situation? It's the court that should repent, and it's the court that should be destroyed."

Zhang Jiao's last words were close to roaring.But this also shows that Zhang Jiao has already listened to Lu Bu's words, but what Zhang Jiao sees now is the bright future of the Yellow Turban Uprising, so Zhang Jiao is not willing to give up halfway.But according to Lu Bu's estimate.Zhang Jiao will soon see that the failure of the Yellow Turbans is inevitable.

Although the night's conversation broke up unhappy, Lu Bu had already seen hope.

The next day, Zhang Jiao summoned the generals of the Yellow Turbans to discuss how to defeat the enemy. It was certain that Zhang Jiao had been surrounded by Lu Zhi in Guangzong City for too long.In the past, Zhang Jiao could also say that the Yellow Turban Army was not strong, and that Lu Zhi was cunning.But now that 22 Yellow Turbans have gathered in Guangzong, if Zhang Jiao doesn't go out to fight, Zhang Jiao and his Yellow Turbans might as well go home.

In fact, Zhang Jiao had no choice but to fight now.One of the most important reasons why so many people rebelled with the Yellow Turban Army was to eat. Originally, there were 15 horses in Guangzong. The problem of feeding these 15 horses was already a headache, and now there are more Zhang Liang's 7 horses and 22 horses needed to eat. If Zhang Jiao didn't think of a way to defeat Lu Zhi and go out to get food, then the Yellow Turban Army might not need to be attacked by the officers and soldiers, so he would be in a mess first.

Zhang Jiao summoned the generals for a meeting, and Lu Bu, as a guest of the Yellow Turban Army, was also invited by Zhang Liang to attend.

"Everyone, our army is now strong and strong, and it is time to go out of the city to defeat the enemy. If you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy, feel free to speak up." Zhang Jiao looked around the surrounding generals majestically, and said to the generals.But he didn't even look at Lu Bu.

"General Tiangong is on top, and the last general, Guan Hai, was the vanguard, overcoming obstacles and attacking the enemy camp for the general."

Hearing Zhang Jiao's question, a voice suddenly appeared, and one of the generals stood out, it was Guan Hai, the first fierce general of the Yellow Turban.

"Okay, General Guan Hai is worthy of being the number one general in our army. He is very powerful. When our army goes to battle in the future, General Guan Hai will definitely be the vanguard."

Seeing Guan Hai fighting, Zhang Jiao hurriedly spoke out to comfort him, he must be asking about the strategy to defeat the enemy, not about choosing generals to go to war.Although Zhang Jiao and Lu Bu had an unhappy conversation last night, Zhang Jiao still attached great importance to Lu Bu's words. Now that Zhang Jiao has 22 mercenaries, it is not a problem to beat Lu Zhi, but Zhang Jiao really wants to be like Lu Bu. As Lu Bu said, are you going to lose tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers in the battle with Lu Zhi?
Of course Zhang Jiao is unwilling, so what Zhang Jiao wants is a good strategy that can defeat the enemy, not the determination to fight.Thinking of Zhang Jiao's gaze here, he involuntarily looked at Lu Bu, but he just turned away for a moment without stopping.
