Lu Bu was born in Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, which has been occupied by the Huns who moved in for a long time. Most of the Han people have also become Huns, and their behavior and customs are similar to those of the Huns. In the eyes of the people there, adoption
It is normal to have an adopted son and to have a godfather, so Lu Bu first recognized Ding Yuan as his adopted father, and then knelt in front of Huangfu Song.
However, it was fine when we were in Bingzhou. It was a poor place and people didn't pay much attention to etiquette. But when we arrived in Guanzhong, after Lu Bu accepted Huangfu Song as his adoptive father according to custom, he was ridiculed countless times.
In the Han people's concept, it is extremely shameful to be a son-in-law, let alone to be a godson. If you are not a goddaughter, you will not be able to be a godson.
Lu Bu had many soldiers and horses, and they were very skilled in martial arts, so no one dared to ridicule him face to face, but how could there be no news about this kind of thing? He was often secretly angry about this, but because he had just surrendered, he did not dare to show it out for the time being. Now Li
Su said such words in front of him again, which immediately made Lu Bu angry.
"Are you going to die?"
The sound of metal friction spurted out from Lu Bu's throat, "Who is Dong Zhuo? He is just a defeated general of a certain family. How dare he be my adoptive father, Lu Fengxian?"
Li Su felt cold sweat break out on his back and felt cold in his heart. He laughed twice and said, "General Lu, calm down, calm down. I'm just relaying what Bingzhou Mu said, not what I said!"
"Hey, because you gave me so many things, I won't kill you." Lu Bu sneered, "Eat something, then go back and tell Dong Zhuo that if he gives up the position of Bingzhou Mu,
I can say a few nice words for my adoptive father in front of him. Lu Bingzhou, Lu Shijun, this title is not bad, hahaha!"
Li Su could only apologize and laugh. At this time, the soldiers brought him wine and food. Lu Bu's laughter stopped suddenly. He stared at Li Su and said coldly: "Why don't you eat quickly?"
“…..”
The curtain of the main tent was lifted, and Gao Shun walked in from the outside. He first glanced at Li Su, who was not eating well, and then said to Lu Bu: "I heard that Dong Zhuo's envoy came to the camp?"
Lu Bu pointed to the side and said, "This is Li Su, and he is a fellow countryman of Wuyuan."
Gao Shun added: "We have just surrendered to General Zuo. It is a time when we need to be careful. How can we contact Dong Zhuo's people without authorization? If General Zuo finds out, I'm afraid it will be a big disaster!"
Lu Bu said disapprovingly: "We are not stationed together with our foster father's troops. Li Su came to visit late at night. If you didn't tell me and I didn't tell him, how would he know?"
Gao Shun said: "When the envoy entered the camp, many people saw it. The red rabbit horse outside was originally Dong Zhuo's mount, and countless people have seen it. Even if General Zuo doesn't know it today, how can he not know it tomorrow?"
Lu Bu frowned, "What you said makes sense."
He thought for a moment and said: "Then send his head to my adoptive father, and let my adoptive father know my loyalty!"
Li Su was eating. When he heard this, his hands shook, and the chopsticks suddenly fell on the table, making a "snap" sound. He quickly took a step back, lay on the ground, and said in a panic: "General Lu, we are fellow villagers.
ah!"
Lu Bu sneered, "You said we are from the same hometown, so how about you do me this favor and lend me your head?"
Li Su was so frightened that he trembled all over and wanted to beg, but his mind went blank. Gao Shun, who was standing next to him, advised: "If the two armies are fighting, if you don't kill the envoy, just hand him over to General Zuo."
Lu Bu said with some embarrassment: "But if we hand him over to his adoptive father, what will happen to those gifts and red rabbits and horses?"
Li Su woke up at this time and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, General, I will never say anything nonsense to General Zuo."
"Humph," Lu Bu looked at Li Su. Seeing his cowardly appearance, Lu Bu couldn't help feeling a little relieved, and shouted: "I'm sorry, you don't dare to talk nonsense!"
After being escorted out of Lu Bu's tent by the soldiers, Li Su still felt scared for a while. He turned back and looked in Lu Bu's direction and thought to himself: Lu Fengxian is moody, cruel and violent, it is really scary!
When he heard that Dong Zhuo had sent an envoy to Lu Bu's camp, Huangfu Song didn't take it seriously. After talking to Li Su for a few words, he let him go. Dong Zhuo woke up the next morning and saw Li Su.
Li Su was waiting outside the door.
"Have you met Lu Bu?"
"I saw it," Li Su lowered his head and said, "But Lu Fengxian was very arrogant and rude. He said..."
"what did he say?"
"He said that my lord was not worthy of being his adoptive father. He also said that if my lord gave him the position of Bingzhou Mu, he would only spare his life if it fell into his hands in the future..."
Li Su was frightened half to death by Lu Bu yesterday. After he came back, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He thought to himself: If Lu Bu doesn't miss his fellow countrymen, then I don't have to be polite to him!
When Dong Zhuo asked, he added a lot of rude words to Lu Bu. Sure enough, Dong Zhuo became furious and cursed: "How dare you!"
After swearing, Dong Zhuo immediately calmed down. He asked Li Su to go down, and called someone to call Li Ru over. He asked: "Lü Bu is so unruly. He accepted our property and BMW, but he is still so rude! Huangfu Song again
I’m sending people to build siege equipment, I’m afraid they will attack the city in less than two days!”
Li Ru was speechless for a while after hearing this. After a while, he said: "I have seen many greedy and stingy people before, but this is the first time I have encountered such a dishonest and unjust person like Lu Bu."
"Then what should we do now?" Dong Zhuo asked, but without waiting for Li Ru's answer, he stood up and said angrily: "I will mobilize the army and go out of the city to fight to the death with Mr. Huangfu!"
"Lord, calm down!" Li Ru quickly grabbed Dong Zhuo and advised: "Our army is mostly newly recruited soldiers, and the Huns cavalry is no match for Lu Bu's cavalry. Now when we go out to the city for a decisive battle, even if we win, we will suffer heavy casualties!"
He thought in his heart: Winning is probably impossible, but losing miserably is quite possible.
Dong Zhuo's anger subsided a little, and he said bitterly: "Old Huangfu has been in trouble with me in the past. He was about to move into Guanzhong, but he came to stop me again!"
Li Rudao said: "For the current plan, it is better to hold on to the city first, and then send people to invite the Xiliang army to attack Fufeng. When Huangfu Song withdraws his army and comes back for reinforcements, we will pursue them one after another."
Dong Zhuo said: "It's a long way to go to Xiliang. It will take at least twenty days until the Xiliang army receives the news and launches an attack. We see that the enemy is about to attack. Can we hold on for that long?"
Li Ru said again: "You can release the Huns and let them plunder Guanzhong. The Huns have been poor for a long time and are not good at defending the city. It is better to let them go to the west to plunder. In this way, the power in Huangfu Song's hands will be reduced."
It will be weakened, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to attack Linjin."
"It's easy to let the Huns out, but I'm afraid they won't be able to take them back. If we don't have 20,000 Huns cavalry, our strength will be much reduced!"
"If we don't do this, we can only retreat across the Yellow River temporarily and wait for another day."
Dong Zhuo pondered for a while and then decided: "Then let the Huns rob Sanfu. I want to see if Huangfu Song can't bear it!"
When Huangfu Song's army and Dong Zhuo's army faced off at the foot of Linjin City, Chen Cheng, who was far away in Yinchuan, also received news of the civil strife in Guanzhong. However, this incident was expected, so he didn't take it too seriously.
They focused their attention on training the army, reforming the military system, and improving hydraulic forging hammers.
After Jia Xu joined Chen Cheng, he refused the appointment of Shi Zhongling. He said to Chen Cheng: "I have just arrived and have not yet achieved much. How can I directly serve as Shi Zhongling?"
So Chen Cheng appointed him as "Gi Shizhong" to take charge of the daily affairs of the Menxia Province instead of Zhao Yun. Jia Wenhe "has no stagnation and makes decisions smoothly". Since he took over the work of the Menxia Province, the efficiency of things has improved a lot. It's not that
It is said that Zhao Yun's talents are worse than Jia Xu's, but Zhao Yun mainly focuses on the Ya soldiers. Whether it is training soldiers, training officers, or managing the affairs of the Army Primary School, he needs to do it himself, and he is really unable to do all the work.
Now that Jia Xu has taken over the affairs of Menxia Province, Zhao Yun is greatly relieved. Although he still has the title of "Shi Zhongling", he is actually no longer involved in the affairs of Menxia Province. In the second year of Chuping, he defeated Song Dynasty.
After the establishment of the Ministry, the number of tooth soldiers doubled, the combat force added one infantry battalion and two cavalry battalions, and the auxiliary force also added one engineer battalion and one baggage battalion.
In order for so many soldiers and horses to fully exert their combat effectiveness, in addition to being equipped with a lot of ordnance and supplies, they also need to undergo training and running-in, and preferably exercises and actual combat before they can reach the expected level. According to the plan, it's time
Next year, we will attack Guanzhong eastward. By then, we will add a few more infantry battalions and cavalry battalions, and our strength will further expand.
Chen Cheng was implementing his plan step by step. He was very calm and not distracted by the changes in the outside world, but Yan Zhong was a little unable to sit still. After hearing that Ding Yuan had sealed off Chang'an City and was preparing to fight with
When Huangfu Song was fighting, he once advised Chen Cheng that he should seize the opportunity to capture Chencang and push the battle line to the east of Fufeng. Even if Chencang cannot be captured, it would be good to occupy the strongholds outside Chencang as a starting position next year.
However, Chen Cheng refused that time. The reason was that spring plowing was now underway and if the farming season was missed, everyone would be hungry in the future. The total number of households in Liangzhou is now less than 120,000. It was originally only over 100,000, but because of the imperial court
Because the conscription of troops and food was too severe, many people in Guanzhong fled to Liangzhou with their families. In addition, tens of thousands of people were obtained from Bingzhou Dong Zhuo, and Liangzhou's population grew rapidly.
Even with such a large population, the burden on the people of Liangzhou is still very heavy. There are 10,000 Guangya soldiers. If you add in the county soldiers and rural soldiers from various places, as well as the government soldiers and forbidden troops in the north, the army
The total number of troops is more than 60,000. Even if Chen Cheng does not need to support the armies in Zhangye, Jiuquan and other places, he will not receive much food from those places.
The only places he can directly control are the five counties of Shuofang, Wuyuan, Beidi, Hanyang and Jiuquan. They have a total of 60,000 households but maintain a standing army of 20,000 to 30,000. Although the government has some money, the common people
We are still extremely poor and cannot buy many new clothes all year round. Compared with before, the fact that we can have enough to eat is commendable.
