Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 74: Liu Bao asks to see Yuan Benchu

"General Hou, how are you doing lately?" Lu Bu opened the curtain and asked with a smile.

Hou Cheng felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect to get the wrong carriage.

"General, please enter the city. There are many people outside the city." Hou Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"General Hou, this is Bingzhou, so it doesn't matter." Returning to the boundary of Bingzhou, Lu Bu was in a good mood. Looking at Hou Cheng's familiar face, he felt very friendly.

"General Hou, let the lord go to the city for treatment. A thief injured the lord earlier." Dian Wei stepped forward and reminded.

"How dare a thief be so bold?" Hou Cheng was immediately furious, and the bulging veins on the back of his hands showed the anger in his heart.

"Okay, these are just trivial matters. Go back quickly. What do you think of yelling outside the city?" Lu Bu scolded.

"No." Hou Cheng's face was livid, and dozens of cavalry were guarding the carriage in the middle. Anyone who hurt the general would be unforgivable in his opinion. He decided to inquire about the specific information from Dian Wei later.

Just look at how brave those thieves are.

"Why are there so many ragged people outside the city?" Lu Bu asked after returning to Huguan.

"The general is sincerely serving the people in Jinyang. This has spread throughout the nearby prefectures and counties. As a result, many people pass by Huguan every day. Most of them are wandering people. They go to Bingzhou to survive and guard the pass.

The soldiers were not in trouble." Hou Cheng explained.

"Well, although this is a good move, you still have to be careful. Huguan is very important for merging the state, and there is no room for failure. You must distinguish carefully to prevent spies from the princes from mixing among the people." Lu Bu warned.

"General, we have arrested a dozen spies before," Hou Cheng said.

"Oh, do you know who sent these people?" Lu Bu asked curiously.

"Yuan Shao from Jizhou, Liu Biao from Jingzhou, Cao Cao from Yanzhou, Yuan Shu from Yangzhou, Liu Yu from Youzhou, and those from Chang'an City." Hou Cheng listed all the princes in detail.

"Cao Cao? Liu Yu?" The others were fine, but the two men sent spies to Bingzhou, which was a little unreasonable. Although Lu Bu also secretly sent people to find out the news, he thought that his relationship with Cao Cao was pretty good, and Bingzhou

The army rescued Cao Cao, Liu Yu was the shepherd of Youzhou, and the two sides were in harmony with each other.

It seems that I still think too simply. These princes are not simple. Although Bingzhou is barren, it occupies a vast area and has a lot of potential. In addition to my big actions in Bingzhou, the princes will definitely pay close attention to it.

"Carefully check the passers-by. If you encounter anyone acting suspiciously, send someone to follow them secretly to see what these people are doing." Lu Bu said.

Guarding Huguan was boring. Although it was not far from Jinyang, it was still far away from the center of power. Lu Bu comforted Hou Cheng and Cheng Lian with kind words, and set off from Huguan to Jinyang two days later.

.

After nearly two months, Lu Bu finally returned from Chang'an. In Lu Bu's view, the trip was a complete success. Not only did he bring back the famous counselor Jia Xu, but also the great scholar Cai Yong and Xiu'er at that time. A few injuries were not considered.

What.

During the time Lu Bu left, Li Su lost weight again. Especially since the Huns' actions since the beginning of spring, he had to be cautious. Although the army in Bingzhou City was expanded by 30,000, except for these soldiers who had recently joined the army, there were no truly combat-effective soldiers.

There are less than 10,000 people, and Bingzhou has a vast territory. 20,000 people are not enough to defend the city. If you really want to control Bingzhou, you need more troops and the loyalty of the county officials under your control.

In today's situation, the state merger seems to be stable, but in fact there is an undercurrent. Officials from various places have an unclear attitude towards the state and pastoral government, and no one wants to give up their power and be constrained by the state and pastoral government.

After all, before the position of Zhou Mu appeared, the governor of a state had very little power. Like an ordinary prefect, they would not buy it. The rank was there. If the governor was changed to Zhou Mu, they would naturally not be willing to lose the power in their hands.

.

After the Huns moved to the territory of the Han Dynasty, they stayed near Meiji in Xihe County. This group of Huns was called the Southern Huns. Although they took refuge in the Han Dynasty and changed their living habits, the habits of the grasslands were passed down from generation to generation.

The warriors dismounted to serve the people. Although the skill of riding and shooting had declined a lot, to the Han people, the Huns' cavalry was still elite.

However, the Han people also looked down on these Huns, and the Huns also behaved with their tail between their legs in the Han Dynasty. They did not dare to act excessively. Even if they suffered a loss, they tolerated it.

At this time, the Huns were not stable internally. Since the death of Lao Shanyu, various tribes have been busy fighting for power. Liu Bao, the son of Lao Shanyu, asked the court for help. However, the Central Plains princes' attack on Dong Zhuo could only be delayed. Liu Bao

He has also been staying in the Central Plains.

Later, Liu Bao found Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance of the princes. In his opinion, since Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance of the princes, he must be a well-known figure in the Han Dynasty, and he must have a lot of power in his hands. As long as he showed support for him, there was no need to worry about not being able to win.

With the support of the Huns, the Han still had a great influence on the Huns.

Yuan Shao didn't care at first when the Huns asked for an audience. What happened to the Huns? If it weren't for the mercy of the Han people, they would still be eating sand on the grassland. How could they live a comfortable life now?

After Xu You got the news, he thought about it and said: "My lord, the Huns live in Bingzhou, why not win over them? Lu Bu, the pastor of Bingzhou, covets Jizhou, and their newly acquired Bingzhou, if the Huns make a fuss

, wouldn’t it make him very anxious?”

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up. He no longer had any good impressions of Lu Bu. If it hadn't been for Lu Bu, Gongsun Zan would have been defeated by him. He was worried about the plan to send troops to Jizhou, "Zi Yuan, do you have any good strategies?"

Xu You glanced at Feng Ji proudly and said slowly: "My lord, although the Huns moved to our territory, the place they live in is not satisfactory and they are discriminated against by the Han people. All it takes is my lord to show off a little, and the Xianbei people will be excited."

Next time, there is no guarantee that we will do something outrageous in Bingzhou."

Yuan Shao suddenly understood and nodded: "What Ziyuan said is true. Liu Bao is a descendant of Shanyu. Although he has lost power, his influence among the Huns cannot be underestimated."

"My lord, I have an opinion. My lord is the leader of the alliance of princes. He is powerful in the world and famous outside the Great Wall. I promise you benefits and may be able to unite the Huns." Xu You said.

"If you have a son far away, why worry about joining Lu Bu in the state?" Yuan Shao laughed.

Feng Ji's expression on the side was a little ugly. Xu You could have thought that as a counselor, he would not have thought that just colluding with the Huns would ruin his reputation. Although Lu Bu did not deal with Jizhou, it was an internal matter within the Han Dynasty. If he was involved in it,

What did the Huns become?

Just because Feng Ji could hold back did not mean that Tian Feng could hold back, he directly yelled: "Xu You, my son, you are extremely shameless. The Huns are a foreign race and they are determined to destroy us. Now you have seduced my lord and linked up with the Huns, which is a heinous crime.
