The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

"Your skills in building cottages are not good enough," Lu Bu said.

Xu Chu nodded approvingly and said, "In such a stronghold, after the lieutenant officers and soldiers came, the bandits would have surrendered before they attacked."

"Wen Hou, look at the land of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, which bandit dares to fight against Wen Hou's troops, no matter how strong the cottage is built, when the soldiers under Wen Hou's tent arrive, the consequences will be the same. It's a direct surrender, it's better to just fool around and just make a living." Li Ji explained with a bitter face.

Hearing Li Ji's words, Lu Bu smiled. The miserable life of these bandits in Yanzhou and Xuzhou is the best proof that the situation has improved under the rule. Lu Bu's goal is to let the bandits under the rule have no room to live. .

As long as the thieves are found coming, the officers and men of the army will be dispatched immediately. This kind of efficiency makes more thieves dare not set foot in the land of Xuzhou and Yanzhou.

When facing the lieutenant generals, the bandits are indeed weak. As for them wanting to confront the lieutenant generals and achieve greater results in the confrontation process, it is simply impossible.

Lieutenant generals usually have undergone rigorous training. In front of powerful lieutenant generals, the so-called thieves are just people who can't stand on the stage.

If the monarch has a firm belief in eradicating the bandits under his rule, it will be absolutely difficult to stop them just by relying on the strength of the bandits.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion in the past was so powerful that it failed to succeed, not to mention that the princes now have elite forces to rely on.

It mainly depends on whether the princes have such ideas, and what angle they consider when they develop under the rule.

Clearing up and suppressing the bandits does require a lot of supplies. It is reasonable for the generals and soldiers in the army to have such consumption. However, in Lu Bu’s view, such consumption is worthwhile. After consuming some supplies, the common people will be able to Living a stable life without worrying about thieves making trouble, such a thing is definitely a good deal.

Some princes blindly develop their own strength, thinking that after the number of soldiers in the army increases, they will have greater achievements on the battlefield in the future. This kind of cognition is not advisable in Lu Bu's view.

The number of lieutenant soldiers in the army does have a certain influence on the battlefield, but the advantage in numbers may not necessarily occupy an absolute advantage in the confrontation. In the past, Lu Bu led the lieutenant soldiers to fight against the enemy. Isn't it a good thing? description.

Lieutenant soldiers have the indomitable will when facing the war, and have the spirit of daring to die when facing the enemy. Such an army is the most terrifying on the battlefield.

On ordinary occasions, what Lu Bu cultivated was the belief of a lieutenant general.

And the way to develop belief is by relying on rewards.

The rewards seem vulgar, but they are not. After the soldiers put in enough effort, they want to get the corresponding recognition. The rewards at this time can make the soldiers see hope. They can get the hope after paying. .

In this way, the lieutenant soldiers will work harder in the process of ordinary training.

Especially some soldiers who have not received rewards need to work harder. The same soldiers in the army, even some soldiers who have received rewards, still entered the army with them. When they saw the gap between each other, they would Work hard on this.

This kind of thing, if it is better implemented in the army, it can better promote the ordinary training of lieutenant officers and soldiers, so that they can change from passive to active when facing training.

Such a change allowed the strength of the soldiers in the army to increase more quickly.

There are more than a hundred thieves in the stronghold, but when these thieves see a large army of soldiers, and even their leader, they are also captured alive by the soldiers of the army. At this time, they want to let them It is obviously unrealistic to have a heart of resistance.

The thieves in the cottage directly chose to surrender.

The soldiers in the surrendering army, in the eyes of the thieves, have nothing to be ashamed of. It is the most stupid move to confront the soldiers in the army. How crazy are the Xuzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army when they wiped out the thieves, like thieves The situation has been heard.

You must not easily provoke the lieutenant soldiers, this is also the principle that some thieves uphold in the process of development.

Looking at the thieves in the cottage, Lu Bu sneered secretly. It seems that the living conditions of these thieves are not very good. Many of the thieves on the mountain and down the mountain are sallow and emaciated.

"Li Ji, how much rice grain is there in the cottage?" Lu Bu said, "These are all my lord's spoils of war."

Li Ji showed bitterness, "Marquis Wen, the rice grain in the village is only enough for three days, otherwise, the villain would not dare to lead the bandits down the mountain to plunder easily."

"Okay, don't cry poorly here, now you are no longer a bandit, but a prisoner of the Xuzhou army." Lu Bu said.

Li Ji did not dare to disobey the slightest thing, and became a prisoner of the Xuzhou army. Although it is a bit embarrassing to go out, it is nothing compared to the preservation of his life. Judging from Lu Bu's actions, there is nothing wrong with this bandit. disgust.

This shows that after Lu Bu breaks down the stronghold, he will not make a painful move. Such things are the most important things for the thieves in the stronghold.

Even if Lu Bu turns his face, what can these thieves do?As for wanting to escape from Lv Bu's hands, one can imagine what will happen to them when they look at the lieutenant soldiers in the stronghold.

After a while, several soldiers brought more than a dozen people in ragged clothes.

Seeing Lu Bu's gaze, Li Ji hurriedly explained: "When we robbed the people passing by, we captured them alive. We couldn't bear to kill them, so we locked them up."

Chapter 622 Interrogation

Lu Bu sneered and said, "I didn't expect bandits and bandits to be so merciful. They couldn't bear to kill them after looting. This really surprised me."

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Li Ji was frightened out of his wits. At this time, his life is in the hands of Lu Bu. He only needs a light order from Lu Bu, and he may die.

At such a time, it is absolutely impossible to offend Lu Bu, the key is that he has a lot of ignorance about Lu Bu.

"Marquis Wen, everything the villain said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask these people." Li Ji said hastily.

Some thieves stood up and spoke for Li Ji.

It turned out that when Li Ji plundered, he also had principles. If the other party did not resist, he would only become a prisoner, or become a member of the bandits. If he resisted, it would be a different matter. The targets of Ji Jie's robbery will not resist, because Li Ji's chosen targets are all those who seem to be very weak.

Imagine that there are only a dozen or so people on the other side, and two hundred thieves appearing directly here, what kind of impact it will have on the opponent's psychology. Under such circumstances, how dare they resist the onslaught of thieves.

After hearing some thieves' descriptions, Lu Bu secretly felt a little funny. He didn't expect these thieves to use such a method of looting in ordinary times.

"Zhongkang, interrogate these captives and find out where they are from." Lu Bu said.

After Xu Chu got the order, he hurried to go.

After taking a look at the cottage, Lu Bu directly found a room to rest. At this time, the entire cottage was under the control of the soldiers. Lu Bu was extremely relieved. Judging from the performance of these bandits, they were most worried about the army The soldiers will be unfavorable to them. If you dare to attack the soldiers in the army, I'm afraid it won't fall on these thieves.

If these thieves were really bloody, they wouldn't be so cowardly when they were down the mountain.

When dealing with thieves, Lu Bu will not tolerate them, but these people who become thieves can be forgiven by Lu Bu, which is also Lu Bu's way of doing things.

Becoming thieves is not what some people are willing to do, but more because of the hardships of life.

Let the thieves become captives, and then change from captives to members of the people, and you can screen out the most vicious and vicious among the thieves, unless these thieves are very good at disguising.

Thieves are transformed by the common people. If you can turn the thieves into the people you want, wouldn't it be a great boost to the development of the rule?

Facts have proved that Lu Bu adopted such a strategy, which is more conducive to the suppression of the thieves. When the thieves are in danger, they will also resist. If not, the most likely thing they will do in the face of the encirclement and suppression by the lieutenant is to resist ferociously.

Regardless of the combat effectiveness of the thieves, it is possible for them to cause certain casualties to the soldiers in the process of resistance. But after these thieves see hope, the situation will be very different.

Nowadays, when some thieves and bandits hear the arrival of lieutenant soldiers, the most direct reaction is to run away or surrender.

In the eyes of some bandit leaders, if they confronted the lieutenant generals, they would have no chance of winning. Maybe the bandits under their command would have almost fled just after the battle started.

After all, after taking refuge in the lieutenant, there is no need to worry about the danger of their lives. If this is the case, they will not have the heart to resist the arrival of the lieutenant.

Lu Bu knew about this situation, and felt a little funny at the same time. Being a bandit is basically an extremely vicious person, but these so-called bandits, after seeing the soldiers in the army, behaved like this unbearable.

Even in the face of lieutenant soldiers, they don't even have the courage to fight.

These things also show that the prestige of the Xuzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army under the rule is relatively high. If you want to offend the Xuzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army, you must consider what kind of price the offense may have.

When a battle occurs, it is a good test for the lieutenant soldiers. How to get out of such a test better is also the question that the lieutenant soldiers need to think about the most. In ordinary battles, what they need to think about It is training, what kind of help will it have in war.

Suppressing thieves is also a special training.

The door knocked, and Lu Bu said in a deep voice, "Come in."

"My lord, the interrogation is over. Except for one person who stuttered, the others are all businessmen who passed by." Xu Chu said.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Distribute some money to these people and let them leave."

"Here." Xu Chu clasped his fists and said.

After being interrupted by Xu Chu, Lu Bu lost his sleepiness and got up and walked out of the room.

The moon and stars are sparse, and the environment in the cottage is still very good.

It's just that these thieves probably don't care to appreciate these scenery in normal times.

Regardless of whether it is the common people or the bandits, they are all busy in order to live. As for the effect of their busyness, it is difficult to guess. How many bandits are also facing great danger.

The life of the people is even more difficult, because many people do not even have the most basic fields in their hands, which makes their lives more difficult.

It is common for people to become tenant farmers of aristocratic families. The key is that after becoming tenant farmers of aristocratic families, is there nothing to worry about in life?

This is negative, because aristocratic families also have their standards when selecting tenant farmers, not everyone can do it. When more people want to become tenant farmers, the selection criteria for tenant farmers will be stricter. up.

In this way, it will become a big problem for the people to survive.

However, Lu Bu has the confidence to gradually change these things. The opening of fields in Xuzhou and Yanzhou is a good illustration. Let the people open up wasteland for farming.

The land reclaimed by the State Shepherd's Office is responsible for registration and then belongs to the common people for farming. These fields cannot be used for sale, but can only be used for farming. If someone is found to trade such fields, they will be sanctioned by the State Shepherd's Office.

Now Lu Bu has a lot of power in Xuzhou and Yanzhou. After the order is issued, there are very few officials who dare to disobey Lu Bu's order. It is good that they have small actions in secret. The key is that when facing Lu Bu, some of them are respectful.

Chapter 623 Lu Bu Meets Ma Jun

In one incident after another, Lu Bu's fierce methods are shocking. If you want to benefit from Lu Bu's hands, you must have the awareness to pay the price.

This kind of thing is also the same when it comes to aristocratic families.

When dealing with aristocratic families, Lu Bu has no soft-hearted words. As long as the aristocratic families dare to stretch out their hands, Lu Bu will raise the butcher knife without hesitation, and let these families understand what kind of price they will pay after embezzling benefits Come.

The strict system brought certain guarantees to the people's lives. These reclaimed fields were looked down upon by wealthy families, but in the eyes of ordinary people, they were the basis for living.

Besides, after the fields are reclaimed, there is no need to pay taxes within five years.

Such an order made the common people very excited, and their enthusiasm for reclaiming the fields was high.

Letting the common people have their own fields is what Lu Bu wants to see. The key is to make such things concretely implemented, which is not a simple matter.

There is a limit to the number of fields to be reclaimed. It is impossible to reclaim the mountains and let the people cultivate them.

The most important thing is to control the reclaimed fields within a certain amount, and find a way to get more fields from the aristocratic families.

When an aristocratic family who violated the law fell into Lu Bu's hands, the land of their family would also be owned by Lu Bu.

Such a thing has been tacitly accepted in the land of Xuzhou.

Land is valued by aristocratic families and is an important benchmark for measuring a family's strength. If the family's strength is not enough, it is absolutely impossible to gain an advantage when competing with other families.

The land obtained from the common people is also a manifestation of the means of the aristocratic family. As for the fact that they will return the obtained land to the common people, it is absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen.

In order to obtain the land, the aristocratic family also paid a certain price, and the hard work of their family should not be wiped out just because of an order from the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Besides, no official would be foolish enough to issue such an order against aristocratic families.

In the officialdom of a state, more than [-]% are officials from aristocratic families. When these officials do something, they consider it from the perspective of their family. What will be obtained will be more fierce counterattacks from these families.

At any time, the impact of the powerful family's counterattack cannot be underestimated.

Just like Xuzhou, if the officials do nothing, what will happen.

That's why the monarch is often cautious when dealing with the family, unless he catches their handle, he will not do it easily.

The same is true for Lu Bu in this respect, but some officials will be severely punished after they violate the law and discipline, and it is inevitable for their families to pay a certain price.

As for the fact that these families would move to other places because they couldn't stand Lu Bu's rule, this was what Lu Bu was most happy to see. At that time, no one would dare to take over the land of these families and sell them to the state at a relatively fair price. Mu Fu.

It is very necessary to spend a certain amount of money to take the land from the wealthy family.

As for the consumption of money, with Lu Bu's current financial foundation, there is no need to worry more.

When the business of Xuzhou and Yanzhou can get on the right track, it will bring more benefits, and then Lu Bu will occupy a greater weight among the princes.

What Lu Bu did was to let the family under his rule understand that standing on the opposite side of the monarch will not have any good results, and when they choose to cooperate with the monarch, they will get corresponding gains. The harvest inside is not something that some aristocratic families can refuse.

After Lv Bu took control of Xuzhou, the changes brought to the land of Xuzhou were obvious, and those families who cooperated with Lv Bu also got a lot of benefits from it.

The main purpose of the aristocratic family is to allow the strength of the family to be developed.

If the family he belongs to cannot get corresponding development, even if the monarch has fierce means, it will be difficult to get more support.

Gradually, Lu Bu also summed up the experience of dealing with aristocratic and powerful families, but such matters were more handled by Lu Bu to the officials under his rule.

At present, the family in Xuzhou supports Lu Bu's attitude. This is because they see the hope of the family's rise from Lu Bu, and following Lu Bu closely, it is possible for their family to gain more in troubled times. many benefits.

Lv Bu led the lieutenant soldiers to fight on the battlefield, and he had a remarkable record, which provided a solid foundation for the stability of his rule. When some princes had thoughts about Lv Bu's rule, they needed to consider the strength of the soldiers under Lv Bu's command.

Even Yuan Shu, who is powerful among the princes, ended in failure when he competed with Lu Bu, which made Lu Bu's reputation soar.

This kind of situation is also what Lu Bu is happy to see. It is of great significance to prevent the aristocratic family from having more resistance in this process.

If the aristocratic family does not cooperate in some matters, as a monarch, it is inevitable that he needs to worry about more things.

There is a certain tacit understanding between the aristocratic family and the wealthy family. The two sides try not to cross this bottom line. Only then will it be of greater help to the future development.

The cottage was relatively quiet at this time. The arrival of the lieutenant soldiers brought great changes to the cottage. When these bandits faced the lieutenant soldiers, they didn't have the slightest ability to resist. They could only obey more Only the orders of the lieutenant generals can survive.

After becoming captives of the Xuzhou Army, their way of life may change a lot, but such changes are also within the scope of the thieves' acceptance.
