Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies

Chapter [266] Settle In Hebei And Set Off For The Central Plains

Lu Bu fell asleep for another three days and three nights. During these three days, Sima Yi and Xu You were very nervous every day, fearing that there would be troubles in Yecheng, and they took turns guarding Yecheng. Fortunately, they passed the three days safely without any incidents. crisis.

Don't look at Lu Bu who slept for three days and three nights in a single sleep, as if he slept like a dead sleeper, but in fact it was quite the opposite.

When Lu Bu is sleeping, whenever someone comes near the room, he will be caught by Lu Bu's hearing immediately. Before anyone enters the bedroom, Lu Bu will get up with Fang Tian's painting halberd.

With the two early warning systems of intuition and hearing, Lu Bu sleeps very peacefully, without worrying that someone will mess with him.

After waking up, Lu Bu got up and moved some stiff joints, returning to peak condition again.

"Crackling!"

After a few simple stretches, the joints explode like popping beans.

Leaving the room with big strides, he looked at the guard on duty at the door, "Is there something going on? Where's that kid Jamu?"

"My lord, there has been no movement in the city for three days, Lord Jia Mu is on duty to defend the city." The soldiers replied immediately.

Lu Bu nodded and ordered: "Get some food and call Sima Yi and Xu You.

"promise."

When Sima Yi and Xu You arrived, Lu Bu had already had a full meal, and the soldiers were moving Lu Bu's empty rice bucket outside.

It was also the first time Sima Yi and Xu You had seen this kind of scene, and they couldn't help being secretly speechless.

"Meet the king."

"Excuse me." Lu Bu waved his hand and asked, "How is the situation in the city?"

"Back to your Majesty, everything is fine, that is

"Just say anything." Lu Bu urged.

"It's just that Hebei was overdrawn by Yuan Shao." Sima Yi continued: "Almost every household has been conscripted, and there is no surplus food and money in the treasury, and Hebei's books are in a deficit.

Lu Bu grinned when he heard the words, and complained: "Wars really cost money, and Yuan Shao's battle emptied the whole of Hebei."

More than 500,000 troops were dispatched, plus a million-level civilian labor as a supply force, and the manpower and material resources consumed were astronomical.

To be honest, in a war of this scale, the whole dynasty would have to be hurt. Yuan Shaochun was simply playing in Hebei, trying to repay Hebei's losses through the annexation of the Central Plains.

As a result, after Lu Bu took over Hebei, the whole of Hebei was in a mess, the government's finances were paralyzed, and the people were in dire straits.

"Let's recuperate first. Our losses in the First World War in Hebei were not small. Next, we will devote ourselves to restoring the people's livelihood in Hebei. Let's exempt the autumn tax in Hebei this year." Lu Bu said solemnly.

It's not that Lu Bu is generous, but that if the situation in Hebei is no longer tax-free, the people will have no food to eat, and peasant uprisings will definitely break out everywhere.

Let the common people live a bit harder, and the common people can bear it.

But if the common people are suffering and hungry, and the days are not running out, it must be rebellion.

Lu Bu has just entered Hebei, so he is very unfamiliar to the people of Hebei. When the time comes, he really can't survive, and the people will rebel 100%.

Instead of spending military expenditures to suppress local uprisings, it is better to directly exempt taxes to win the hearts of the people, saving time and effort.

In short, the people of Hebei must be allowed to live first. Yuan Shao did the work of emptying out the dross in Hebei, but now the owner of Hebei is Lu Bu. Lu Bu doesn't want to pay for Yuan Shao's actions, let alone take the blame for Yuan Shao.

Once there is a famine in autumn, the people in Hebei don't know why, and they blame Lu Bu for their lack of food, and start to miss Yuan Shao, the former master, which is really bad.

I can't bear to let the children live with wolves, so the tax should be exempted or not. Anyway, Lu is not short of food, because the tax in Hebei is not worth it.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Wuhuan may go south during the autumn harvest." Xu You reminded.

"Oh? How do you say that?" Lu Bu couldn't help asking.

"Usually, as long as Wuhuan comes to plunder, it will be during the autumn harvest. At this time, our common people are the richest, and they can grab more food for Wuhuan's winter needs.

"Besides, in late autumn, Wuhuan's war horses are all fattened up. This is when the horses are fattest."

This is the deadlock between the farming people and the nomadic people. When the farming people have a good harvest, it is also the time when the nomadic people have the strongest combat power.

The nomads saw that this year's food was not enough to survive the winter, and they needed to get some elsewhere.

Turning around, the group of people in the south happened to have a good harvest, and there was plenty of food.

Turning his head and looking again, his war horse is fat and strong, with full horsepower.

Hey, just riding a war horse to grab a wave.

Xu You has been in Hebei for many years, and he is very familiar with Wuhuan's situation.

"It's not urgent, it's still far away from the autumn harvest, and I will deal with it at that time." Lu Bu said casually, not taking Wuhuan to heart.

The war started after the beginning of spring, and the spring is not over yet, and there is still a long time before the autumn harvest.

When he turns around and waits for his hands to be free, Lu Bu can just go to Bailang Mountain himself.

While talking, personal soldiers came in from outside, "Your Majesty, the Central Plains sent people here."

"Bring it in.

Not long after, a messenger came in, saluted and handed a military report to Lu Bu.

"boom!"

After reading it, Lu Bu was so angry that he slapped the table almost to pieces.

"You idiot Liu Bei! Son of Sun Ce! It's a good thing to spoil my father." Lu Bu couldn't help cursing.

At this moment, Lu Bu finally understood why the points were no longer rising. It turned out that the situation was at a stalemate.

"My lord, what happened?" Sima Yi couldn't help asking.

"Liu Bei and Sun Ce led an army to rescue Xu County, but the other army failed to capture the Central Plains." Lu Bu couldn't help sneering: "Cao, Liu, and Sun actually pissed into the same pot. Surprising."

In history, the Three Kingdoms conquered each other, and people's brains were like dogs' brains. I never thought that in this life, they would be united because of themselves.

Sima Yi and Xu You looked at each other, this is obviously not good news.

In order to conquer Hebei and the Central Plains, Lu Bu made many plans and deliberately divided his troops into two groups, in order to unify the North in the First World War. Now Hebei paid a huge price to win it, but something went wrong in the Central Plains.

0..........

"If I had known this, the 200,000 troops would have been drawn to Hebei, and the previous battle would not have been so tragic." Lu Bu was indignant.

If an army of 200,000 troops attacked Hebei, Lu Bu estimated that less than 50,000 people would die, and Hebei would be flattened.

Now that so many people have died, the strategic intentions have not been fully realized, which makes Lu Bu lose more and more.

Moreover, the disadvantages of dividing the troops between the two routes were also exposed, and the army in the Central Plains was in a dilemma.

Even if Lu Bu rushed over with the 20,000 Qin army and 5,000 cavalry, it would have little or no impact on the battle situation.

What's more, Hebei had just been acquired, and Lu Bu couldn't transfer troops to the Central Plains at all. The 25,000 troops had to stay in Hebei to guard, or something might go wrong.

Don't look back if the Central Plains were not saved, and if Hebei was lost, it would be a blood loss.

"The two of you are staying in Hebei for the time being, and you have to go to the Central Plains yourself." Lu Bu got up and said.

Sima Yi and Xu You looked at each other, and agreed in unison: "Obey!"

After waking up and eating and drinking enough, Lu Bu had no intention of staying in Hebei, and immediately set off for the Central Plains.

The government affairs were entrusted to Sima Yi and Xu You, and the military power was entrusted to Jia Mu, the captain of his own army, who was responsible for the defense of Hebei.

It is still the separation of the military and the government, which can ensure the stability of the situation in Hebei and will not break away from Lu Bu's control.

After getting everything settled, Lu Bu packed lightly and didn't even bring any dry food. With Chitu's foot strength, five days was enough for Lu Bu to go to Xu County and drop zero. .
