The State Shepherd's Mansion dispatched officials and troops to Taishan County. As for the army of the Lu State, there is no need to worry about it for the time being. Chen Xin is the captain of the State of Lu, and it is still possible to control the situation of the State of Lu.

Yanzhou has already shown its sincerity, and the matter of rice and weapons will be delayed for a while. Lu Bu is not afraid that Liu Dai will dare to renege on this matter, unless Liu Dai wants to pay a heavier price. It is a good illustration that the Yanzhou Army is not worth mentioning in front of the Xuzhou Army.

And in Yanzhou, there are more and more Qingzhou Yellow Turbans coming here. If the rampage of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans cannot be suppressed, Yanzhou will repeat the mistakes of Qingzhou. It has become the world of yellow scarves, even the princes have little idea about Qingzhou, mainly because of the endless emergence of yellow scarves in Qingzhou.

The scourge of the Yellow Turbans is extraordinary, sweeping counties and counties, looting villages, and the people who are looted will become one of them. In this way, the number of Yellow Turbans will increase.

In September of the second year of Chuping, the Xuzhou Army withdrew from Yanzhou.

To show his importance, Lu Bu personally led the officials in the city to welcome the return of the victorious army.

The army selected five hundred soldiers with the best performance, and followed Lu Bu to patrol the city.

The selected soldiers looked excited. This is a great honor. To receive such an honor, their status in the army will definitely be greatly improved in the future.

Such an incentive method makes the lieutenant soldiers have more yearning. After following a monarch like Lu Bu, do you need to worry about not getting more credit in the future?

On both sides of the street, a lot of people gathered. The state pastoral government did not force these people who came out to welcome the army to return after victory. If the people had a heart to belong, they would go to welcome them without the order of the officials. The government issued an order. There will be more people coming, but the effect is not good.

At the end of the war, the dispatched troops returned to Pengcheng one after another.

Pengcheng had an army of 2 soldiers. After the war, the number dropped sharply to more than [-], and more than [-] soldiers were buried in the battlefield. Many of them died because they could not receive timely medical treatment after being injured. In this era Such is the case with the current war, it is impossible to have a good guarantee in terms of medical treatment.

The day after the army returned to Pengcheng, Lu Bu summoned the civilian and military generals in the state pastoral mansion, and praised the brave soldiers and the officials who guarded Pengcheng.

The great victory of the Xuzhou Army not only gained the benefits after the victory, but also had elite soldiers.

It is very difficult for a lieutenant to become an elite only by relying on ordinary training. Many soldiers have shown a good level in ordinary training, but when it comes to the real battlefield, it is difficult for them to truly display their training level .

War is the best place to promote the growth of soldiers in the army. Unqualified soldiers will be eliminated by war.

The big waves wash away the sand, and those who stay are the elite of the army.

"Wenhe, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, has returned to Shunzhou Mufu and is temporarily being imprisoned in the prison in the city." Lu Bu laughed.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to Marquis Wen for stabilizing Xuzhou."

"However, the situation from Taishan County is not very good. There are many yellow scarves passing through Taishan County in Qingzhou." Lu Bu frowned slightly.

After becoming the governor of the state, Lu Bu paid more attention to military affairs, and important political affairs still needed to go through him.

Jia Xu seemed to have expected that Lu Bu would ask this question, and stood up and said, "There is no need to worry about Taishan County. Wen Hou led the Xuzhou Army to defeat the Yanzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army with a tyrannical posture, and shocked the world. Even if it is Qingzhou Yellow Turban, They must have heard the name of Marquis Wen. If they knew that Taishan County was under the rule of Marquis Wen, how would they dare to make a mistake? Marquis Wen only needs to send a general to guard Taishan County. Not only can Taishan County be stabilized, but it will also threaten Jibei Kingdom. "

Lu Bu nodded, motioning for Jia Xu to continue talking.

"Chen Xin, the capital of the State of Lu, is a member of the Chen family. Since the Chen family has taken refuge in Marquis Wen, there is no need to worry about the affairs of the State of Lu." Jia Xu said: "Pei State is under the rule of Yuzhou and is close to Yanzhou. Marquis Wen can send capable generals to guard it. Peiguo, deter people with ulterior motives."

"Pei State is under the rule of Yuzhou, and Yuzhou is currently under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shu." Lu Bu said, although he was not afraid of Yuan Shu leading the army to invade, he managed to get the support of Yuan Shu and other powerful princes. If he offended Yuan Shu, he would not know how to be wise. move.

Jia Xu stroked his beard under his chin, with a pensive look on his face. Yuzhou is indeed a complicated place. Most of Yuzhou is a plain land with fertile land and a large population. It is difficult for any prince to get Yuzhou. refused.

Yuzhou was also the battleground between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao at the beginning. Yuan Shu represented Sun Jian as the governor of Yuzhou. Yuan Shao took advantage of Sun Jian's attack on Dong Zhuo and appointed Kuaiji Zhou Xin as the governor of Yuzhou. He wanted to take Yuzhou from Sun Jian's hands. Come over and lead the troops back for Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu has never given up on Yuzhou's territory. If someone violates Yuan Shu's interests, Yuan Shu will fight back without hesitation. Peiguo is the barrier of Runan. How could Yuan Shu sit back and watch such a situation happen.

"Marquis Wen might as well give up Peiguo." Jia Xu said slowly.

Lu Bu got up and asked, "Why?"

"The Ministry of Peiguo is of great importance. It is not appropriate for Marquis Wen to turn against Yuan Shu at such a time. Yuan Shu occupies the lands of Yuzhou and Yangzhou. He has a strong army and tens of thousands of elites under his command. Yuan Shu also supports Marquis Wen as Xuzhou Shepherd. He is an ally of Marquis Wen. With the help of the Yuan family's name, Marquis Wen can gain a foothold in Xuzhou and give up Peiguo, so Marquis Wen will get more benefits." Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu frowned and pondered, Pei State is rich and populous, it is very good for Xuzhou to get Pei State, and with Pei State as a barrier, Pengcheng will not be exposed to other princes, and the safety is guaranteed.

However, Jia Xu's words also made sense.

"Okay, the Marquis will trust Wenhe and give up the Peiguo Department," Lu Bu said.

Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu with more different eyes. Being able to make such a choice at a critical moment is not something ordinary people can possess. Pei Guo is under Lu Bu's control, and he has great influence on Lu Bu's development. will be of great help.

Being able to follow the advice so simply and hand over the Pei country to Yuan Shu really impressed Jia Xu.

Chapter 107 Jia Xu Confessing the Lord

People say that Lu Bu is a vulgar general, but they don't see Lu Bu's courage and skill.

"Wen Hou is wise. After giving up Peiguo, Yuan Shu will definitely trust Wenhou even more. Yanzhou Liu Dai, Cao Cao and others support Yuan Shao. Yuan Shu and the Yanzhou army will definitely have a battle. At that time, what Wenhou will lose in Peiguo , can be taken from Liu Dai's hand." Jia Xu laughed.

Lu Bu nodded, and Jia Xu analyzed the situation that will develop next thoroughly in a few words, which saved Lu Bu from a lot of trouble.

"Wen He, what do you think of Ben Hou?" Lu Bu asked suddenly.

Jia Xu's heart moved. He couldn't understand the meaning of Lu Bu's words. Lu Bu's subordinates lacked resourcefulness. He provided a lot of useful advice during Lu Bu's rule of Xuzhou. Relatively trustworthy.

In all fairness, it is a good choice for a counselor to follow behind such a monarch, but Jia Xu is a prudent person, and he is unwilling to make a choice on this.

Seeing Jia Xu's silence, Lv Bu said slowly: "At present, this Marquis has already taken charge of Xuzhou, occupying Lu State and Taishan County. This kind of development is unimaginable even for other princes. Wenhe has made a lot of contributions in it. These Marquis It's all in the eyes, is Wen He worried that he will be a brutal person?"

Jia Xu shook his head. The boldness and means displayed by Lu Bu are definitely not possessed by ordinary princes. The biggest shortcoming is Lu Bu's identity and reputation. These big men with many families will suffer a lot. It is not easy for the princes to fight for the front without a strong foundation to support it for a long time.

"If Wenhe lives up to me, I will certainly live up to Wenhe." Lu Bu said firmly.

Sensing the burning eyes of Lu Bu and the sincerity in his words, Jia Xu thought about it and bowed solemnly: "This subordinate has met my lord, and I am willing to go through fire and water for my lord's great cause."

Lu Bu showed a satisfied smile, enjoying the sense of accomplishment brought by Jia Xu's solemn salute.

"With the help of Wenhe, why not worry about the failure of great things." Lu Bu helped Jia Xu up and said, "Wenhe will be my right-hand man from now on."

"He Dehe Neng, my lord, is so trustworthy, I will use my life." Jia Xu said that people's hearts will change. At the beginning, he was coerced by Lu Bu, and under unavoidable circumstances, he followed the army to Xuzhou and saw it with his own eyes. Lu Bu grew up step by step.

And Lu Bu's words and deeds gradually changed Jia Xu's cognition. It is indeed a great challenge to follow behind Lu Bu, make contributions, and reach the position that ordinary princes look up to.

Jia Xu prides himself on being talented in the world, but lacks opportunities, while Lu Bu is brave and lacks counselors. The two can be said to complement each other.

"Wen He is devoted to helping each other, and it should be clear." Lu Bu was in a very happy mood.

This was the first strategist he had subdued since he came to Dahan, a top strategist. Lu Bu naturally wanted to get more, but he also understood that it was not enough to just give them status if he wanted to make these strategists take refuge.

Jia Xu's heart warmed. As a military general, Lu Bu might not pay attention to some words, but Lu Bu was absolutely serious about taking refuge in him.

"My lord, Xuzhou is currently stable, and we should strengthen the control over the counties and counties." Jia Xu said, since he decided to help Lu Bu, he will do his best.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "This matter has been mentioned in the article and before. The Marquis will gradually order the generals in the army to go to the counties to take over the military power."

"The lord's victory this time has frustrated Yuan Shao's power. Yuan Shu will definitely send envoys to discuss the affairs of Peiguo. The lord can get more benefits from Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu is not an ordinary person. It is said that he has already obtained The Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom occupies the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, but there is no intention of handing it over to the imperial court, it is clear that there are other plans." Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu said: "Yuan Shu wants to replace the Han and stand on his own."

Jia Xu's complexion changed slightly, and he became self-reliant on behalf of the Han. This kind of behavior is more harmful than Dong Zhuo's control of the court. The Han has been passed down for hundreds of years. Although there have been many changes in the middle, it can still be regarded as continuing. What kind of shock will be caused by someone proclaiming himself emperor, especially a powerful prince like Yuan Shu.

"This matter is also my conjecture, Wen He just needs to know about it," Lu Bu said.

"My subordinate understands."

Aiming at the current situation in Xuzhou and its future development, Lu Bu and Jia Xu Zuzushang talked about it in the middle of the night.

With Jia Xu on the side offering advice, many problems that caused Lu Bu a headache were resolved, and Lu Bu did not hide too much from Jia Xu, and informed Jia Xu of all the craftsmen's workshops outside the city and the production of immortal jade.

Regarding the matter of Xianyu, Jia Xu had expected it, but he was still a little surprised to learn that Xianyu was made by Lu Bu. The profit of Xianyu made Jia Xu see a huge opportunity. With a steady stream of money and supplies, the prefectural pastor's mansion can completely suppress the Xuzhou family. Under the circumstances, the Xuzhou family dare not obey Lu Bu's order.

The next day, Lu Bu called the civil servants and generals again to discuss matters.

The officials and generals who came could feel that Lu Bu was in a happy mood. Lu Bu, who always looked serious in front of the officials, actually showed a smile.

Lu Bu's various means in Xuzhou made the officials dare not neglect, and no one thought that their family would be the next unlucky one. The cruel thing is that it has been proved that if they go against Lu Bu, there will be no good end.

"The reason for letting you come here today is for the change of officials in Xuzhou," Lu Bu said.

Hearing the words, the officials in the arena cast their eyes on Lu Bu one after another. Many officials showed anticipation. Not only has Xuzhou stabilized, but even Peiguobu, Luguo, and Taishan County are also owned by Lu Bu, and the rapid expansion under his rule , jaw-dropping.

After the number of cities under the rule increases, a large number of talents will definitely be needed. In terms of talents, the help that the family can provide cannot be ignored. No matter how powerful Lu Bu is, to govern the city will definitely require people from the family. For the family, This is the best news.

At this time, it depends on the position of each family in Lu Bu's mind. The state shepherd has the power to appoint and dismiss officials.

"Zhang Liao, the Marquis has appointed you as the prefect of Mount Tai, leading three thousand troops to Mount Tai County." Lu Bu said.

"Here." Zhang Liao clasped his fists out of the line and said, the excitement in his voice could not be concealed.

When the order was issued, the officials in the field were shocked. Zhang Liao was only 22 years old. Even if he had some credit for leading the army, he was not enough to become a prefect of a county.

The prefect of a county is a prominent official position.

Chapter 108 Appointment of Officials, Ten Valiant Generals

"After Wenyuan arrives in Taishan County, he must not slack off. Currently there are many yellow scarves fleeing in Taishan County. This Marquis does not want to hear about bandits making trouble in Taishan County." Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

Although Zhang Liao was young, Lu Bu admired his abilities because he was a fierce general capable of writing and martial arts under his command. With Zhang Liao guarding Taishan County, he didn't need to worry about the younger generation making trouble. At the same time, this was also a test of Zhang Liao's personal ability.

A good player also needs training.

"The general will understand." Zhang Liao clasped his fists and said.

Although many officials in the field were dissatisfied with such an appointment, they did not dare to express it. Zhang Liao was a general under Lu Bu's command. From this appointment, it can be seen how much Zhang Liao holds in Lu Bu's heart.

Zhang Liao was able to be the first to be appointed and became the prefect of Taishan County, which excited the generals in the army. Who said that military generals can't do more, didn't the young Zhang Liao become the prefect of a county?

Looking around at the crowd, Lu Bu said, "This Marquis said that he will reward meritorious deeds. Maybe some people have doubts about Ben Marquis' appointment."

The officials in the arena didn't even dare to say anything. As for what they really thought, it's unknown.

"Zhang Liao has been with Benhou for many years. Although he is young, he is a rare general. Taishan County is special. Not only are there yellow scarves running around, but it is also close to Yanzhou. After Liu Dai suffered a big loss at the hands of Benhou, how can he let it go? , with Zhang Liao guarding Taishan County, it is enough to make the Yanzhou army daunting." Lu Bu said.

Many officials looked at Hang Liao with a slightly different look. It is enough for a general to get such praise from Lu Bu, because Lu Bu himself is a famous general for a long time.

"From now on, Jia Xu will be Prime Minister of Pengcheng and the military adviser of Xuzhou Army, responsible for the specific affairs of Pengcheng and related matters in the army." Lu Bu issued the second appointment.

"Here." Jia Xu came out and said.

After taking refuge in Lu Bu, he was reused, which was within Jia Xu's expectation.

Pengcheng is the state capital of Xuzhou, and its prosperity cannot be compared with other cities. The position of Prime Minister of Pengcheng is also a desirable official position. After Mi Fang went to Xiapi, many officials showed a strong interest in Prime Minister of Pengcheng, but Jia Xu served as the prime minister of Pengcheng. In fact, officials in Xuzhou still recognize it. Anyone who has dealt with Jia Xu will see Jia Xu's strength.

"Chen Deng was the prefect of Guangling, responsible for the specific affairs of Guangling, and Hou became the captain of Guangling."

Chen Deng and Hou Cheng came out and said yes.

Chen Deng became the prefect of Guangling, and his promotion speed was absolutely fast, but when he thought of the Chen family behind Chen Deng, the Pengcheng officials were relieved. At the critical moment in Xuzhou, they took the opportunity to give Lu Bu support, and the Chen family received corresponding support. Appointment is also due.

Lu Bu turned his attention to Mi Zhu and said: "This Marquis leads the army, don't let Mi Zhu take charge of food and grass, which provides a favorable guarantee for the army to win, and specially appointed Mi Zhu as Xuzhou Biejia and Langxie Prime Minister."

"The humble post takes orders." Mi Zhu stepped out without haste.

"The current affairs in the city are busy, and many things need to be dealt with separately, so let's stay in Pengcheng for now." Lu Bu said.

"Here." Mi Zhu cupped his hands.

Mi Zhu also understands that what he is currently responsible for in Pengcheng is what Lu Bu cares most about. Even Mi Zhu's heart is shocked by the huge profits of Xianyu. In Zhou County, as long as the production method of immortal jade is not spread, the immortal jade that passes through Pengcheng every day will be an astonishing amount.

Businessmen are despised by scholars, but when the benefits of doing business are enough to bring about great changes in Pengcheng.

Lu Bu's appointment of him as Langye Prime Minister is also an affirmation of the Mi family's dedication.

"Appoint Mi Fang as Prime Minister of Xiapi, Cao Xing as Captain of Xiapi, Song Xian as Captain of Donghai, Mi Le as Prime Minister of Lu, Chen Xin as Captain of Lu, Wei Xu as Captain of Pengcheng, and the rest of the officials, The position remains the same."

The counties and states of Xuzhou, as well as Taishan County and the State of Lu have undergone certain changes, among which Xiapi and Guangling have undergone the greatest changes.

Xiapi and Guangling betrayed Lu Bu, and it is reasonable to strengthen the governance of the two places.

The most obvious is the appointment of generals in the army. It can be said that one person has achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven. The important generals under Lu Bu's command have received many appointments.

Zhang Liao became the prefect of a county, Hou Cheng, Cao Xing, Song Xian, and Wei Xu all became the captains of the counties and countries. Xuzhou, which was in charge of Lv Bu, was definitely not the prefect of the counties and countries and the prime minister of the country. Military power will become the norm.

Lu Bu was telling the civil servants and generals under his command one by one, that only by closely following him can he get a greater promotion.

Three days later, horse-drawn carriages entered the army outside the city. When boxes of five baht coins were opened and placed on the commanding platform, the soldiers below couldn't help but widen their eyes.

This is the reward that the defeated soldiers should receive. Lu Bu promised and did it.

Basically, everyone has a share in the distribution of rewards, but the amount of money received is nothing more than that, and the soldiers who were named to receive the rewards all had red faces, which is an affirmation of their hard work on the battlefield .

The ten people who received the most awards were awarded by Lu Bu himself.

"In the Xuzhou army, rewards and punishments are clearly defined. During the war, the assessment was forced to stop. From now on, the assessment will be conducted once a month. The rewards will be the same as before. The top three candidates in the assessment will have the opportunity to be promoted." Lu Bu said.

The soldiers below were very excited. This order was their opportunity to make their mark in the army. They were also soldiers in the army, so why would others get more rewards.

"The soldiers who died in battle are all heroes of Xuzhou. A hero tower is built outside the city, and the names of the soldiers who died in battle are listed in it, and they can enjoy the worship of the people under their rule." Lu Bu said: "The families of the soldiers who died in battle will receive corresponding compensation. , family members are exempted from taxes for two years."
