Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 61 The key to breaking the game

Under the collapsed rammed-earth city walls, many Qiang people's corpses were still burning. Occasionally, some Qiang people who were not dead leaned against the edge of the city and groaned in pain.

The city gate has been opened, but inside and outside the city gate is like a scene of purgatory on earth.

Wars generally do not attack the city until the end. It is precisely because they know that the Han army will not easily attack the city. Therefore, after learning that the Han army sent troops, the Qiang people did not make sufficient preparations, or did not expect the opponent to come. The first thing is to attack the city overnight.

It was a successful surprise attack. Lu Bu's main force was still fifty miles away, but Zhang Liao had already led an elite team of 800 people to raid Longguan, catching the Qiang guarding Longguan by surprise and easily attacked by Zhang Liao.

The city wall that had been in disrepair for a long time collapsed in the fierce fighting between the two sides, and then the Qiang people stationed in Longguan were completely defeated, or their will to resist was not too strong, and the city wall suddenly collapsed for a while, which made Ben Wuxin The war-loving Qiang people collapsed completely.

When Lu Bu arrived with his army, he saw such a scene.

"General, are all the soldiers of Bingzhou so cruel?" Hua Xiong glanced at the collapsed city wall in shock, and looked at Lu Bu in disbelief. How did this battle happen? Even the city wall collapsed. He didn't remember Zhang Liao With siege equipment, and only 800 people.

Lu Bu, Wei Xu and others looked at the collapsed city wall in a daze. They didn't know how to answer Hua Xiong's question for a while. Fortunately, Zhang Liao came and explained the problem. The city wall was in disrepair for a long time, and the Qiang people occupied After Longguan, they didn't even think about repairing the city wall. When Zhang Liao attacked unexpectedly, the city wall collapsed suddenly during the battle to seize the city.

"My lord, the Qiang people are not brave in fighting. Many Qiang soldiers were surrendered in this battle. How should we deal with it?" After briefly describing the process of breaking the city, Zhang Liao asked Lu Bu a problem. What to do with the prisoners?

The Qiang people's will to fight is not too strong. After a little resistance, they will flee if they can, and surrender if they can't escape. This is not a good thing for Lu Bu today.

Surrender is easy, and rebellion will naturally not cause any psychological burden, but the most important point is not here, but that they don't have enough food and grass now, let alone feed the captives.

But if they let go, it's not too good. The possibility of these people returning to fight after they let go is very high, and it can even be said to be certain.

Zhang Liao's question actually meant the same thing, do you want to kill him?

"Let it go." Lu Bu naturally understands this truth. Killing prisoners is easy to plan conflicts. In a battle of life and death on the battlefield, it's okay to die in the opponent's hands, but if you kill them after surrendering, at least within the scope of the Han culture It was definitely criticized by others. He patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder and said earnestly: "We must convince people with virtue, kill prisoners without surrendering, and don't keep prisoners next time!"

"Here!" Zhang Liao was obviously stunned, not because he couldn't react, but when did Lu Bu's ability to secretly change concepts become so proficient?

If the conditions permit, Lu Bu will naturally not give such a cold-blooded order, but now the conditions are not allowed, it is only the food and grass, if it is not resolved as soon as possible, this alone will kill Lu Bu and the eight thousand soldiers.

"Even Longguan is now occupied by the Qiang people. How many places in Longxi have not been captured?" It is a city that can beat them to death.

Lu Bu shook his head. It is natural that Longguan is occupied. If it is not occupied, the imperial court can send troops directly into the territory of Longxi. Anyone with basic general ability can see the importance of Longguan. Longxi had to defend Longguan first, otherwise if Longguan was lost, although the terrain in Longxi was complicated, there would be no dangerous places to defend.

"Gongwei." Lu Bu looked at Hua Xiong and said, "I want someone to find out as soon as possible how many cities in Longxi have not been captured by the Qiang people. The more detailed the map of Longxi, the better."

"Here, let's do it!" Hua Xiong nodded. After all, Lu Bu had just come to Xiliang, and he had only heard about the terrain, the habits of the Qiang people, and even the climate here, so it was difficult to have an intuitive understanding.

"Wen Yuan, go and find out who are the big families in this Longxi area. These people need to be treated with courtesy, and don't provoke them easily." Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao again, and let him come forward to contact the Longxi gentry, although most of these people would not have What a face, but now, Lu Bu needs the support of these Longxi gentry, otherwise he will be unable to take an inch of the land of Longxi.

"Here!" Zhang Liao understood, bowed and left quickly.

In the next few days, Lu Bu did not act rashly, while ordering people to repair the Longguan city gate, at the same time, he sent scouts around to inquire about the news of the Qiang people.

Zhang Liao successively found several famous families in Longxi, but they were either rejected or politely rejected by the other party. He didn't ask for a single piece of food and grass, but he suffered a lot.

Seven days later, Hua Xiong came back with a few maps with a heavy face.

"In the eleven counties of Longxi, Fanghan, Daxia, Heguan, and Baishi have long lost contact. Because they are too remote, what is going on now is unknown. Besides, Di Dao, Angu, Shouyang, Xiangwu and Zhang counties are all occupied by the Qiang people." Hua Xiong spread out the map and helped Lv Bu mark the Jizuo city in Longxi today.

Among Didao's eleven counties, except for Lintao, which was confirmed to be still in the hands of the imperial court, and they could still send messages to each other, the other ten counties had either lost contact long ago, or were occupied by the Qiang people.

"These Qiang people used to be like this?" Lu Bu frowned. The most affluent counties in Longxi were gone, and the Qiang people were too arrogant.

"This is the first time that we have captured a city like this." Hua Xiong shook his head, and then explained: "In the past, the big Han stationed a large number of soldiers and horses in Xiliang, and my famous general was there to guard them. Naturally, the Qiang people dare not I have fought against the city of my Han family for a long time, but now..."

During the period of Emperor Ling, Xiliang not only had resident elites, but more importantly, great Han generals emerged in endlessly. Zhang Wen, Huangfusong, Dong Zhuo, and Sun Jian had all been active in the Xiliang battlefield. At that time, even if the Qiang people had this I don't have the courage to do so, but now times have changed, and the Xiliang army has been taken away by Dong Zhuo. In this area of ​​Xiliang, only Ma Teng and Han Sui belong to the forces of the Han family, and both of them have similarities with the Qiang people. The inextricable relationship is not mentioned.

Without the deterrence of the Han army, it is not incomprehensible to gradually become more courageous.

Lu Bu nodded and looked at the locations of these cities: "It's not difficult to calm down, but it takes too much time after all."

"That... general, besides Longxi, Tianshui County has also been occupied by many cities, and I heard that Ji County was besieged by Qiang soldiers." Hua Xiong hesitated for a moment, looked at Lu Bu and said bitterly.

"Ji County is governed by Tianshui County, how dare these Qiang people fight?" Lu Bu nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "What kind of family does Ji County have?"

"Yes, Jizhou is governed by Tianshui County, and it has its own great clan, Panhuan. Zhao, Yang, Yin, Wang, Jiang, and Liang are all powerful clans in Tianshui." Hua Xiong nodded, and began to tell Lu Bu one by one with his fingers.

It is said to be a family name, but it is actually in a place like Tianshui. If the children of such aristocratic families go to Chang'an or Luoyang in the past, they are really nothing, but this kind of local family is sometimes more powerful than the real family. In fact, he is even more noble than the county magistrate.

"Send someone to inform Wen Yuan to come back as soon as possible." After thinking for a while, Lu Bu suddenly realized that he didn't need to continue wasting time on these aristocratic families in Longxi. These people obviously rejected them, and even had inextricable ties with some people in the court. Unless Lu Bu chooses to tear his face and kill them, he can't do anything to them.

But now Lu Bu only has 8,000 people, and if he really went all the way in, it would be more dangerous to go deep alone, but Tianshui made Lu Bu see the hope of breaking the situation.

Immediately, he ordered his personal guards to inform Zhang Liao to come back, and stop wasting time in Longxi.

"Gongwei, just now you said that there were Qiang people besieging Tianshui? Do you know why those Qiang people besieged Tianshui?" After Lu Bu sent his personal guards to recall Zhang Liao, he looked at Hua Xiong.

"It is said that the Qiang people in several nearby counties ran out of food. They wanted to borrow food from Ji County but were rejected, and then they fought." After recalling for a while, Hua Xiong said: "General, I think the aristocratic families in Tianshui also have Participating in this Qiang rebellion, and now the Qiang people have taken advantage of it, dog eats dog, why bother?"

No matter what Hua Xiong said, he was also a general here. He is very clear about the methods of many gentry in Xiliang. But at least part of it was inspired that way.

This time it is probably the same. Sometimes the famous people in Xiliang are very hot and tired of searching. Most of the time they pick things up, but in the end they have to send troops to wipe their asses.

"Gather the troops and leave enough troops to garrison Longguan. After Wenyuan comes back, I will send troops!" Lu Bu looked up at Hua Xiong after observing the map for a long time.

"General, where do you want to fight?" Hua Xiong asked excitedly looking at Lu Bu, his eyes brightened upon hearing this.

"What are you fighting for? I'm not fighting. I went to Ji County this time to get to know Douer. Just prepare your soldiers and horses." Lu Bu gave Hua Xiong a dissatisfied look. He has already passed the fight. At the age of killing, how can you only think about fighting to solve things when you encounter problems?

"Jie Dou?" Hua Xiong looked at Lv Bu with a puzzled expression on his face, seeing Lu Bu's serious face, Hua Xiong was a little speechless: "General, just let them fight, what kind of fight are we going to solve?"

"If you don't fight, how can you get the rations?" Lu Bu asked rhetorically.

"So that's how it is!" Hua Xiong heard the words, suddenly realized, Jie Dou...so that's what he meant, he nodded and said: "General, don't worry, the last general will help gather the troops, and go with the general to Ji County... Jie Dou. "

Lu Bu nodded and said nothing more. Early the next morning, Zhang Liao came back in a hurry. Lu Bu, who had already prepared, handed over Longguan to Zhang Liao. He took Hua Xiong and a thousand elite riders out of the city, and headed straight for Ji County... …
