Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter Five Twenty Five: Show Your Hands

With the efforts of tens of thousands of people, a wide cement road was built from Huguan to Huaixian within two months. The cement used in building the cement road was worthless. The biggest expense was transporting cement and the people.

At first, some people were unfamiliar with building cement roads, but under the guidance of skilled craftsmen, they became more and more proficient.

This cement road is of great significance to Bingzhou. It can greatly save the time of mobilizing the army. Walking on the cement road, the soldiers of Bingzhou also seemed very excited. During those days of hanging in the shade, people felt what was going on.

I feel uncomfortable and often feel wet all over.

During the battle in Hedong and Dangyin, the Bingzhou Army lost more than 10,000 people. Taking advantage of this winter, the Bingzhou Army was also recruiting troops. After Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou and Sun Ce invaded Jiangxia, the situation became serious again, especially for Sun Ce.

Attacking Jiangxia was an attack on the dignity of the Han Dynasty. Sun Ce used his actions to tell the princes, what could the Han Dynasty do? At this time, only the soldiers in hand have power, and a name cannot suppress anyone.

In fact, the princes also did this. On the surface, they were under the banner of serving the Han Dynasty, but in their hearts, few still respected the Han Dynasty. What they wanted was profit.

The mobilization of the Jizhou army did not hide from Lu Bu's sight. What made Lu Bu decide to return to the army was that after Henan Yin was defeated by Cao's army, Cao's army stood still in Henan Yin and was ready to attack Hedong. At this time, Lu Bu did not want to gamble. After all, he had just occupied Hedong.

, there are many unstable factors. Although the Wei family and the Pei family fled Hedong, the existing small aristocratic families and families in Hedong are still a force that cannot be underestimated.

Before the army left, Lu Bu still ordered Zhang Liao to lead the army to patrol near Wei County to provide opportunities for the Black Mountain Army. As long as the Black Mountain Army could make the Jizhou Army return without success, Lu Bu would lead the army to attack Jizhou as soon as possible and set off the army.

Too much grain and grass was consumed. Transporting grain and grass from Jinyang to Chaoge consumed a lot of money along the way.

After stationing the army in Huai County, Lu Bu stayed in Hanoi. As the war progressed, he had no more free time. However, he remembered that the Sima family was in Hanoi, and the Sima family had taken over the existence of the Cao family.

If we can get help from the Sima family, it will have an immeasurable effect on the Bingzhou Army.

The Sima family's reputation in Hanoi is still very strong. Lu Bu decided to go to the Sima family in person and take a look at the situation in Hanoi. Compared to Hedong, the Bingzhou Army has ruled Hanoi for a longer time. If he wants to truly occupy Hanoi,

To completely stabilize Hanoi, we need to win the hearts and minds of the people. Compared with the aristocratic family, Lu Bu paid more attention to the people. For example, the reason why the Bingzhou Army was able to win many times was more because there was a belief in victory in the hearts of the soldiers.

After settling the affairs in the army, Lu Bu took Jia Xu and Dian Wei to Wen County where Sima's family was located.

In order not to cause a sensation, Lu Bu and others were followed by only a dozen guards. The guards were dressed like guards from ordinary families. This was why Lu Bu wanted to see the real situation of the people in Hanoi since the Bingzhou Army occupied Hanoi.

When it was noon, Lu Bu saw smoke rising from cooking fires not far away. He looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wen He, why don't you go to the people's homes to beg for food?"

Jia Xu understood Lu Bu's intention and nodded: "It's just that the guards behind him are too conspicuous. Ordinary people will not dare to come forward after seeing him."

"General Dian Wei, take your guards and hide while I and Wen He go to the village to have a look." Lu Bu warned, and then he and Jia Xu headed towards the village.

The long battle has made Lu Bu's heart tense. Now walking in the quiet countryside, his mood has been greatly relaxed. As for going to Sima's house, Lu Bu did not tell Jia Xu. The example of Shuijing Villa

Right now, he didn't want to make the same mistake again in front of Jia Xu after being embarrassed in front of Guo Jia.

If the Sima family refuses to surrender to Bingzhou, Lu Bu doesn't mind using force on his own territory. Since it can't be used by him, he must eradicate it as soon as possible.

Previously, Lu Bu also ordered the Flying Eagle soldiers to secretly inquire about the affairs of the Sima family in Hanoi. Jia Xu did not know about it and thought that Lu Bu wanted to secretly see the situation of the people in Hanoi. Such things are not uncommon in Bingzhou.

As soon as they entered the village, two young men appeared, holding wooden sticks. They stared at Lu Bu and Jia Xu warily, "Where are you from? Why are you coming here?"

Lu Bu also found it interesting that there were actually sentinels in a village.

Jia Xu stepped forward and said: "We are businessmen from Wen County. We went to Huai County to do business. Unexpectedly, we encountered robbers on the way. Only the two of us escaped. This is my guard."

When the two young men heard this, they looked at Jia Xu up and down. Seeing that he was quite polite and Lu Bu was tall and thick, their suspicions were relieved a lot.

"You guys just wait, I'll tell Li Zheng later." The young man carried the wooden stick and headed towards the village.

The local governance in the Han Dynasty was one pavilion per ten li, with a pavilion chief and a township for every ten pavilions. The township had three elders, ranked, Qiangfu, and Youjiao. Youjiao was in charge of inspections and arrests. There were roughly a hundred households in one mile.

Yes, Li Zheng is the person at the lowest level. He cannot even be called an official. He is basically elected by people from each li.

Jia Xu turned his attention to another young man and asked, "Why are you two hiding behind the tree?"

Seeing that Jia Xu was quite kind, the young man replied: "To be honest with our guests, a group of strongmen have recently appeared near Lijiazhuang, robbing homes and houses. Three villages have already suffered murder. Lijiazhuang is the largest village nearby. Li Zheng is telling you that you must be careful.

, so he ordered people to keep an eye on the surroundings of the village. Whenever a stranger enters, he must inform the people in the village to avoid being the subordinate of a strongman."

"Strong man?" Jia Xu asked doubtfully, "Does the county not care about this matter?"

"Hmph, how can those officials who prey on the common people care about the common people? It is said that You Jiao is still related to this group of strong men. Even if they arrive in the county, no one will take care of them. On the contrary, they will attract the strong men's revenge. Not far away

Zhangjiacun is a precedent." The young man's expression was full of resentment.

"How could such a thing happen?" Lu Bu snorted coldly.

The strong killing intent emanating from Lu Bu shocked the young man. He unconsciously held the stick in his hand tighter, and his legs trembled unconsciously.

"This guard below cannot listen to strongmen or officials oppressing the people." Jia Xu explained.

The young man looked at Lu Bu with a much kinder look. In his eyes, anyone who had hatred for strong men was in the same camp as them.

About a quarter of an hour later, Li Zheng arrived at the head of the village with a dozen young men.
