Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Jizhou is rich and well known to the world. Many of the refugees choose to go to Jizhou, hoping to settle down in the prosperous Jizhou.

Facing the refugees, Yuan Shao ordered his generals to go to the refugees to select young men and recruit them into the army. In less than half a month, an army of ten thousand people was formed. Jizhou did not have extra food and grass to sustain more refugees.

Cities were strictly ordered not to take in civilians. The desperate refugees had no choice but to go to Bingzhou, which was their last hope.

Within half a month, the number of people gathered outside Huguan reached 30,000. In fact, there were far more people going to Bingzhou. Many people saw that the road was far away, so they directly started strongman business along the way and robbed passers-by.

, when the first batch of refugees arrived in Hanoi, Xu Huang sent a fast horse to inform the prefectural pastorate, and only after receiving the order did he dare to let the refugees enter.

On the way from Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Sili to Bingzhou, you can see people starving to death beside the roads everywhere. People without money and food can only rely on bark and grass roots along the way to satisfy their hunger. This has also caused the trees along the way to basically die.

, even more desolate.

The arrival of the refugees forced Lu Bu to give up further efforts to conquer Hedong. Hedong was rich and had only a few more troops than Hanoi. It was obvious that the families entrenched in Hedong were opposed to Bingzhou. Lu Bu originally planned to use thunderous means.

Capturing Hedong and then threatening Chang'an only caused the refugees to hold back their progress.

"Lord, the number of refugees outside Huguan has reached 30,000 at this time. It is said that more refugees are coming to Bingzhou. Outside Huguan, there are many more bandits and bandits plundering the people. If things go on like this, it may affect

Go to Bingzhou." Jia Xu worriedly said that if the merchants of Bingzhou go to other states and counties, they will definitely be harassed by these bandits. The most troublesome thing is the 30,000 people. It is not that Bingzhou cannot accommodate 30,000 people now, but these

What else can the refugees do besides consuming the food and grass in Bingzhou? If there is no land, they can cultivate it, but without rice and food, even after entering Bingzhou, they will cause chaos in the place.

Bingzhou has not encountered a locust plague, which does not mean that the locust plague will not come. If Bingzhou wants to capture the land east of Hedong, it will need more food and grass to sustain it. The 30,000 people are only for now. If other refugees learn that there is a way to survive in Bingzhou,

That's not the rush to Bingzhou.

Lu Bu sighed: "The people who go to Bingzhou show their trust in Bingzhou. They are all common people of the Han Dynasty. How can I sit back and ignore it? Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Sili are suffering from locust plagues, and the people are also desperate."

Although Jia Xu had already guessed that Lu Bu would say this, after Lu Bu actually said it from his mouth, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the venue was a bit solemn.

"Lord, Bingzhou doesn't have much money and food. If it accepts so many people, the state pastoral office may not be able to afford it. Jizhou is rich, so why not let the people go to Jizhou." Chen Tian said worriedly.

Bingzhou has not been affected by the locust plague for the time being, but there are not many fields in Bingzhou, and the autumn harvest is about to begin. In other words, if these refugees are allowed to enter Bingzhou, the state pastoral office will have to bear their food and drink for half a year. This is not thousands of people.

But it is 30,000 people. Even if we save more, the daily consumption of food and grass can reach thousands of stones. Now the Bingzhou Army in Jinyang alone has reached 50,000 people, and this does not include the soldiers and horses in the other cities of Bingzhou.

With the direct profits brought by Jin paper, Jin wine and war horses, Bingzhou did not have to worry about food and grass before, but it was just that there was no need to worry. Youzhou had just stabilized and it was good to be self-sufficient.

It is the merchants who really support Bingzhou. However, after the locust plague, will the grain and grass of the princes still be sold to Bingzhou? Jizhou, for example, would like Bingzhou to fall into the quagmire of refugees at this time, and will definitely order the aristocratic families under its rule not to sell Bingzhou's grain and grass.

"The people have to be rescued. The Prefecture Mufu will first organize soldiers and horses to go to Huguan, organize the people to build simple houses, and provide meals for the people." Lu Bu ordered.

"No." Li Su said helplessly.

After everyone dispersed, Lu Bu left Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Li Su, Chen Tian, ​​Zhao Yun and Mi Zhu behind.

"I estimate that at least 100,000 people will rush to Bingzhou. You must prepare in advance." Lu Bu said slowly.

Jia Xu nodded slightly, these situations are to be expected. Once Bingzhou chooses to accept these refugees, I am afraid more people will go to Bingzhou.

"The princes do not care about the people, so it may be an opportunity to merge with the state. As long as these 100,000 people can be completely kept in the state, once the disaster is over, the effect will be huge." Lu Bu said.

"Zilong led a thousand soldiers to Huguan to maintain order, wipe out the bandits gathered around Huguan, and select young men among the refugees. After passing the examination, they entered the army. The number was tentatively determined to be 10,000. These 10,000

The people are temporarily under the control of Zilong, not only to wipe out the bandits, but what I want is an elite army."

"Here!" Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said. He knew that if the 10,000-strong army was successfully trained, he would command one of them.

"I ordered Mr. Cheng from the craftsman's workshop to go to Huguan to select craftsmen. Isn't there a shortage of craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop? Now the princes have solved the problem for me." Lu Bu said with a smile.

Perhaps it was Lu Bu's relaxed tone that infected everyone. They felt that even if there were 100,000 refugees, it would not be a difficult task. The Bingzhou Army only had 50,000 standing troops, so adding another 10,000 would not seem to be a big deal, but Li Su

He and Chen Tian's expressions were not so relaxed. The consumption of Bingzhou's army was huge. The two people in charge of Bingzhou's money and food knew very well that it was more difficult to feed an army of 10,000 than to feed 20,000 people.

"From now on, the pay of the officers and soldiers of the Bingzhou Army will be temporarily suspended, and the salary of civil servants will be temporarily reduced by half. The officers and soldiers of the army will have two meals a day. I will personally go to the army to explain this matter to the officers and soldiers. After the Bingzhou Army is stabilized, the military pay owed will be

, will make up for it together." Lu Bu looked at Li Su and asked, "Is there any difficulty for the officials?"

Li Su hurriedly held up his hands and said: "I will definitely try my best." They also knew that Bingzhou was at a critical moment. Even the military salaries of lieutenants and officers were temporarily suspended, and the civil servants' salaries were halved. It would be easier for them to talk after they returned.

"Zizhong can secretly purchase grain and grass from other states and counties, no matter the price." Lu Bu said.

"My lord, if the princes learn that Bingzhou is buying grain and grass, they will definitely raise the price." Mi Zhu worriedly said, buying grain and grass is not a trivial matter at all. With so much grain and grass flowing to Bingzhou, it only takes a little inquiring to find out.

In 1998, Bingzhou benefited from the princes a lot because of the war horses, Jin paper, and Jin wine. Now that Bingzhou has reached a critical moment, how can they be soft-hearted?

"Businessmen who don't care about the price but secretly raise the price will pay double the price for supplies purchased from Bingzhou in the future." Lu Bu snorted coldly.

Mi Zhu cupped her hands and said yes.
