Chapter [279] Return To Xianyang
Hulao Pass.
When the army entered the pass, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Before arriving at the pass, once the enemy army overtakes, the Qin army who lost its camp will undoubtedly be more dangerous.
Therefore, along the way, the generals were extremely worried, for fear that the enemy would catch up from behind.
"It really didn't catch up." Fazheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "One word from the king can lead the army to retreat safely, and the minister is far behind."
Although there is suspicion of flattering, it really comes from the heart.
Before Lu Bu came, Fazheng could only barely support the smooth flow of grain roads, and had no confidence in the safe withdrawal of troops.
Now seeing that Lu Bu solved the problem easily, I admire Lu Bu more and more, not only for his extraordinary force, but also for his extraordinary wisdom.
"It's nothing, just practice makes perfect." Lu Bu laughed and said, "You are still young, you are just a fledgling, and you still lack experience."
Regarding how to crack the alliance, Lu Bu has long been familiar with it, but Fazheng has no experience in this field, so there will naturally be a big gap in the handling of this matter.
After entering the pass, everything was settled, and Lu Bu summoned his subordinates to discuss the matter.
"This battle can be regarded as a successful conclusion. Although the Central Plains could not be taken as planned, Hebei has been included in the territory of Daqin, and this army has also withdrawn smoothly, which is relatively satisfactory."
"After the class teacher returns to the court, everyone will be rewarded for his merits."
Although Zhang Liao's army did not take down the Central Plains, they worked hard without credit, and Lu Bu would not let the soldiers go in vain.
If you want the horse to run, you must at least feed it, so that the soldiers can fight the enemy more bravely next time.
"Let Ming go to Hebei to replace Jia Mu and lead an army of 20,000."
"Ziyi went to Youzhou and took five thousand cavalry to guard against Wuhuan in the north."
"Wen Sheng stayed at Hulao Pass to guard. This place will be the throat of the Central Plains in the future, and there is no room for loss."
The tiger prison is in Lu Bu's hands, so Lu Bu can attack Cao Cao at any time, and he can retreat at any time.
Once Hulaoguan is taken away by Cao Cao, it will be more fucked up.
"Wenyuan's mission is the most difficult. I will give you 40,000 troops to ensure that Qingzhou will not be cured."
Yuan Shao was killed by Lu Bu, and Qingzhou would naturally fall into Lu Bu's hands.
But Qingzhou's geographical location is a bit embarrassing. Except for one county in the north of the Yellow River, the rest of the counties are in the south of the Yellow River, and Qingzhou also borders Xuzhou and Yanzhou at the same time, so it needs to face Cao Cao and Liu Bei at the same time.
The combined strength of Cao and Liu was 40,000. Lu Bu simply gave Zhang Liao the same number of troops, making sure that Qingzhou would not be occupied by Cao and Liu.
The 25,000 troops in Hebei stayed in Hebei.
For the Henan army, 10,000 were left at Hulaoguan, 40,000 were resettled in Qingzhou, and Lu Bu returned to Guansheng with the remaining 40,000 soldiers.
"Xiaozhi, you go to Qingzhou to sit in town with Wenyuan~."
Qingzhou faced enemies on both sides. Although Lu Bu had confidence in Zhang Liao, it was better to arrange an army for Zhang Liao.
"Ling Ming cooperates with Xu You to sit in Hebei."
Xu You can be regarded as a half-headed snake in Hebei. He used to be under Yuan Shao's command and was in Hebei all the year round, so he knows the local situation better.
"Ziyi took Sima Yi to Youzhou."
Hua Xiong has a bad temper, and with Sima Yi, an old and naughty guy, it's just a good way to reconcile.
"It's fine for Dezu to stay at Hulao Pass."
An order was issued from Lu Bu's mouth, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and all aspects were considered.
"Obey!" All the people took orders in unison.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Yang Xiu said.
"speak."
"After Yuan Shao fled to the north, we gathered some of the countless troops and civilians left in the Central Plains."
"Oh?" Lu Bu became interested, "How many are there?"
"In the beginning, our army took the initiative to gather some, and the number was not too large. But later, these people might be too hungry. I don't know where they heard that Hulao Pass has food, so they poured into Hulao Pass."
"Calculating back and forth, there should be tens of millions of people."
Lu was not surprised but delighted, this is hundreds of thousands of young and strong, and it will definitely be of great use at the moment, so he immediately asked: "Where are they placed?"
"I didn't dare to let them be idle. I was afraid that they would cause trouble, so I arranged for them to repair Luoyang City." Yang Xiu replied.
Hulaoguan is controlled by Lu Bu, and Luoyang, a treasured land, can be brought under its control in the future. It is definitely a good arrangement for Yang Xiu to let these young men repair Luoyang.
"Very good!" Lu Bu was very satisfied. "The vicinity of Luoyang has been barren for many years. After the repair of the city is completed, let them continue to reclaim the wasteland and restore agricultural production around Luoyang."
"It would be too costly to send military food here from Guanzhong. If Luoyang can produce food, it can greatly reduce the cost of food and grass."
This is really a surprise. For Lu Bu who is not short of food, obviously population resources are more important.
It only takes a year for a crop to grow from seed to maturity.
But it takes at least ten years for a person to grow from birth to adulthood.
Comparing the two, population is naturally more rare than food.
In the case of insufficient food and grass, the population had to give up.
Now that Lu is not a big dog family, it is not a problem to keep these peasants for a year or so. Besides, these young men can still work, which is definitely worth the money.
"Dezu, you are fully responsible for the development of Luoyang." Lu Bu ordered.
"No." Yang Xiu bowed to accept the order.
After everything was settled, Lu Bu set off to return to Xianyang. As for the army, let the lieutenant general take it back, and it is not necessary for Lu Bu to lead the army back.
...
The spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease.
With the war over and the victory over the four states, Lu Bu is definitely proud of himself.
At this time, the spring was bright and beautiful, and all the way, Lu Bu looked at the wild flowers blooming on the side of the road, feeling happy, so he rode alone and returned to Xianyang first.
The common people in the fields are bent over and busy, and there is a thriving scene. Some bold people will say hello to Lu Bu after seeing Lu Bu.
After all, the combination of Lu Bu and Chitu can be recognized just by looking at the body shape. Even if the people in Guanzhong don't know what Lu Bu looks like, the word Qin Wangtu will appear in their minds after seeing it.
Riding horses into the city, the city of Xianyang became more lively.
After the beginning of spring, Hu merchants from the west will come to Xianyang to do business one after another.
With Lu Bu restarting the Silk Road, the business along this road prospered greatly, and all countries and cities on the Silk Road will benefit without exception.
As the starting point of the Silk Road, Chang'an in the past and Xianyang today are the biggest beneficiaries.
On the streets, the barbarian spoke poor Chinese with a foreign taste, and sold all kinds of imported goods to the common people.
Bosiji and Kunlun slaves each have a grass mark on their heads, waiting for the owner to choose to buy.
Regarding human trafficking, Lu Bu is noncommittal, neither supporting nor opposing it, but will charge higher taxes to slave traders.
Of course, this is based on the premise that Hu merchants only do business with the population of other countries. Anyone who dares to get involved in the people of Daqin, all registered slave merchants will be bloodbathed.
Under the rule of Daqin, the status of Hu merchants was not high, and it can be said that there was no guarantee.
Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the bottom of society, and Hu merchants are not inferior to merchants.
How low is Hu Shang's status? To borrow the words of the old bustard in Goulan in Xianyang City: Hu Shangcao will not be given money.
No matter how rich the Hu merchants are, don't even think about entering the gate of the Goulan brothel. If they refuse to entertain Hu people, the brothel will feel that it will lose its status and will lower the grade of its own club.
Looking at the bustling scene of Xianyang streets, Lu Bu leisurely returned to Qin Palace.
As soon as I entered the palace, I saw three girls (Zhao Liaohao) playing in the square in front of the Chaohui Hall. Lu Bu saw it clearly and was putting paper kites on the large open space of the square.
In his spare time, Lu Bu would ask Ma Jun to make some gadgets for Lu Lingqi and the others for their entertainment.
drive~"
Lu Bu accelerated and rushed over. Before Zhen Mi could react, she felt being thrown into the air.
When he turned around, he realized that Lu Bu had lifted him onto the horse, and he was sitting in Lu Bu's arms at the moment.
Xia Fei's cheeks, Zhen Mi was a little shy, but after all, she had been sleeping with her, although she was still a girl with yellow flowers, she was much better than before, and she called out delicately: "Husband~brother"
"Well, your sister Chan is pregnant, so you can do the bathing for Weitian."
Lu Bu is too big and can't even reach his back without help. Diao Chan used to take care of it herself, but now Diao Chan is pregnant and very heavy, so she can't do it for the time being.
"Hmm~" Zhen Mi obediently agreed, and she was caught, and she couldn't refuse.
After Zhen Mi was taken away, Lu Lingqi and Mi Zhen finally reacted.
"Is it Aon?"
"Um."
"It doesn't matter, let's continue and see who puts it higher!".
