Three Kingdoms: God Of War Lu Bu Starts Guarding Yanmen Pass

After retreating.

Lu Bu was called to the study alone by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

The emperor asked all the surrounding court ladies and eunuchs to retreat.

Only he and Lu Bu are left in the study.

"Brother-in-law, if you hadn't sent someone to protect me, I'm afraid I would have died at the hands of Dong Zhuo and others. You are like an elder brother in my heart."

Lu Bu heard the meaning of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is a matter of my duty."

"At this moment, I finally understand why my father has been fighting for power with these ministers in the court."

"Your Majesty, you have also seen it today. In Chang'an alone, 60 to 70% of the land is owned by these aristocratic families. Only 30% is in the royal registration. And these fields are not taxed. All the food is owned by the family. From this we can see that there is another point about the situation across the country. It is the population problem. Their family has so much land. Of course, it needs a lot of people to plant it. So the family not only hides the land, but also the population. "

"And the eldest prince did not die. I sent someone to rescue him to Bingzhou. Now the eldest prince is studying in Bingzhou. His grades are good. He wants to become a doctor. He is currently studying medicine with Mr. Hua Tuo."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty also knew his ability.

Text is not enough. It's even worse if you want to use martial arts.

There are so many princes in the whole country.

that power. They won't turn it in easily.

At least the same is true of Lu Bu in front of him.

But obviously Lu Bu is much better than others.

These days. He felt that the pressure on himself was too heavy. It was simply not something that a young man in his teens could bear.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think these aristocratic families should be like?"

When Lu Bu heard what Emperor Xian said. I know the worries in his heart.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. It is inevitable that all the land will be returned to the state. Local officials. It will only take another two years. Academies across the prefecture will graduate a large number of outstanding students. At that time, any vacancies will be filled by officials. On. Time. These aristocratic families have lost their land, official positions, and power. They are at most ordinary wealthy households.

In less than twenty years. People's lives are stable.

The country's strength has risen steadily.

There is no longer any threat to the family. "

Emperor Xian listened to Lu Bu's words.

It feels a little unbelievable.

However over the years. Since Lu Bu became the supreme governor of Bingzhou.

Just been planning these things.

Lu Bu with the memories of later generations. He has absolute certainty on how to deal with the family members.

Use the best of them. Choose the loyal one to use it.

Now it seems. But Emperor Xian couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Did Lu Bu intend to seize power in Tianxia many years ago?

Later, Emperor Xian talked with Lu Bu about many things.

Lu Bu also told him bluntly,

Now control the territory.

Plus the part on the prairie.

It is already bigger than the original Dahan Kyushu.

And now there are almost 10 to 20 million people under the rule.

All kinds of rapid development.

One year's tax revenue can cover more than several times that of his father Liu Hong at that time.

The comparison of the two is simply a heaven and an earth.

Liu Xie is also very clear in his heart.

just like before. He is in the hands of Dong Zhuo's men.

Even a little bit of basic survival cannot be guaranteed.

Now Chang'an is in the hands of Lu Bu.

Also much better than before.

And Xiandi was thinking in his heart.

I don't know.

As for whether to move the capital.

Emperor Xian said that he would discuss with the ministers.

Lu Bu also went with him.

Now the power is in the hands of Lu Bu.

The soldiers, horses, money, food and population are all decided by Lu Bu.

Those veterans in the court.

It's just messing around.

Ma Chao returned to his previous residence in Chang'an from Xiliang.

The previous owner of the house was his father.

It is not an exaggeration for him to inherit now.

"Brother. Lu Zhengbei has arrived in Chang'an.

Shall we descend or go?"

Ma Dai asked a question.

After all, Chang'an is now under the jurisdiction of Lu Bu.

Ma Chao sighed.

He is not afraid of fighting.

On tactics and dealing with affairs. He really can't.

His mind is straight.

It seems that he surrendered directly, Lu Bu looked a little embarrassed.

And he always felt that his martial arts were not much different from Lu Bu.

Suddenly someone came to report.

"General. General Lu is visiting."

Ma Chao listened. Quickly ordered someone to take Lu Bu to the hall.

He went to change his clothes.

After changing his clothes, Ma Chao came to the hall.

"I don't know that the general is visiting. I am far away from welcoming you."

Ma Chao said with a fist in his arms.

Lu Bu turned around.

"Meng Qi. I already know about your father. I have applied to the emperor for the title of your father. It is for loyalty and bravery.

When your father was in Chang'an. How respectful to the emperor. Unlike Han Sui. "

"And your family has guarded the northwest for generations. You have worked hard and made great achievements. This is also reasonable.

The emperor has agreed. There is no problem with Baiguan. It is estimated that it will be released in a few days. You will be ready when the time comes.

Ma Chao didn't know that Lu Bu actually applied for a title for his father.

I am grateful in my heart.

Fist again.

"Thank you General."

"What's Meng Qi's plan?"

Lu Bu asked suddenly.

"This time my father's vengeance has been avenged. I am willing to disarm and return to the field. I will be a member of the market."

0...asking for flowers...

"If Meng Qi thinks this way, then he will be too sorry for the ancestors of your Ma family."

"A few of your brothers. And that general Pang De. They are all highly skilled in martial arts. Military men. How can you give up just by saying a word."

"Meng Qi. Join us. The Ma family needs to be guarded in the northwest. Otherwise, how can the Silk Road be opened?"

When Ma Chao heard what Lu Bu said, could he still not understand?

Kneel directly on one knee.

"Ma Chao pays homage to the lord. I would like to lead the Ma family army with 20,000 troops to surrender to the lord. Guard the northwest for the lord."

"I have arranged everything. Your 20,000 horsemen. I will upgrade you to pike cavalry. Armor and weapons are all available."

"Chang'an, Xiliang and other places. I have sent people from the Ministry of Agriculture to inspect and develop production. The Chamber of Commerce will hold a trade conference in Chang'an in the near future. You will be responsible for the safety of the meeting then.

"I will keep Zhao Yun in Chang'an. At that time, there will be many policies in the state. You have to learn how to get started as soon as possible."

00.......

"As for your official position temporarily acting as the commander of the Northwest Army, you are in charge of military affairs in the region. You don't have to worry about government affairs. You are still in charge of your hometown. You also need to take care of the control of the Qiang people."

Ma Chao heard what Lu Bu said. It feels so good.

"That's great, my lord. I've never liked to deal with government affairs. Just let me lead troops to fight."

"Don't worry. Next. You have to arrange personnel to go to the Qiang tribes in various places first. Inform them to come to trade. Make good deals."

"If they are willing to join us, we will recognize them. If they enter, they will be China. If they leave, they will be barbarians.

"Wait until the trade meeting in Chang'an is over. You hand over the army to your brother Ma Dai. Then go to Bingzhou to study military strategy for three months."

"Next year, Bingzhou will hold another martial arts competition. The time is set after you finish your studies. Whether it is our personnel or people in the field, you can participate. You will then show the martial arts of your Northwest Governor in front of the world. If you If you can win the first place, I will give you an additional 30,000 troops. Decrease in order. The second place is 20,000, the third place is 10,000. If you are lower than the top five to tenth, you can only add 5,000. And it is Formation of the Lancers."

Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard that. If you can command tens of thousands of spear cavalry.

That would be a very exciting thing.

Lu Bu looked at Ma Chao's confident look.

He also smiled lightly.

"Don't underestimate the people of the world."

"The first and second places in the last martial arts competition. Dian Wei and Tai Shici. They are now generals who command tens of thousands of soldiers.

I want you to let the world see your bravery. Prove that your position as the Northwest Governor was obtained by your own strength.

"My lord, please rest assured. I will definitely go all out for five."
