Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 156 Purpose

Although Ma Chao was stubborn, he was a bit tough in his bones. He was beaten black and blue by a group of soldiers who had long been unhappy with him, but he didn't cry out in pain. After a full quarter of an hour, Gao Shun saw that his whole face was completely Ma Chao, swollen and unrecognizable, lowered his head and asked, "Can you take it now?"

"Li... Although I can't beat Li in the battle formation, I don't accept it~ If Li has the ability, would he dare to fight with me?" Ma Chao poked his neck, and looked at Gao Shun although his gaze was a little less aggressive, but still Maintaining his last dignity.

"Fight again!" Gao Shun took two steps back, and Ma Chao's indifferent voice sounded like the whisper of a demon.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but it was too late. A group of soldiers trapped in the camp went up and beat them again. The crowd had a sense of proportion and didn't beat them to death. But just like that, when Gao Shun asked them to stop, Ma Chao Lying on the ground dying, with tears in the corners of his eyes, he looked at Gao Shun with a little more fear.

"Do you agree?" Gao Shun lowered his head, still with that indifferent face.

Ma Chao tilted his head slightly, avoiding Gao Shun's gaze, and nodded silently, feeling a little afraid of Gao Shun.

"Can't speak?" Gao Shun didn't accept.

"Nonsense, the general wishes to respect the general..." Ma Chao couldn't help but moved back, looked at Gao Shun and said.

"In this barracks, I have always been respected. The lord handed you over to me. I let you mess around for a while to let you adapt to the rules of the barracks. Since you don't understand, I will beat you until you understand. Here , there are not many rules, there is only one thing, the military order is like a mountain, I don't read much, and I don't know how to reason with you. If you can obey the order, I will teach you how to run the army. If you don't listen, I will beat you and kill you. I will explain to the Lord, but if you don't die in this camp for a day, you need to listen to me, understand?"

Gao Shun's voice didn't fluctuate much, but Ma Chao understood, nodded silently, got up with support, and saluted Gao Shun: "The general understands."

"Go to treat the wound!" Gao Shun nodded in satisfaction, and asked someone to call the general Chinese medicine practitioner to treat him.

Today's military exercise was not bad. Although many people were injured, but no one was killed. Of course, if you fall into the camp and fight a group of soldiers who only receive military training, even if the enemy is three times your own, it is impossible to lose. What's more, Ma Chao underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, and immediately separated himself from the army. Without Lu Bu's bravery, and without the assistance of other generals around him, it was really delusional to want to break through the formation and kill the enemy like Lu Bu did.

"General, the lord is waiting for the general at the general's platform!" It was not until the end of the battle that a soldier came to Gao Shun's side and saluted Gao Shun.

Gao Shun nodded, got on his horse and headed towards Dianjiangtai.

On the commanding stage, Lu Bu and Li Ru were chatting, and Li Ru was surprised by the strength of the camp: "My lord, if there are more sharp fighters like this, there will be no disadvantages!"

"How can it be so simple, the soldiers in this camp are selected from the army of one hundred thousand, each of them can stand up to ten, coupled with respectful training, only then can they have the power they have today, no matter how many they want, it will be very difficult!" Lu Bu said. Shaking his head, the predecessor of this camp was the Northern Army. Now that it has been reorganized, its combat power has greatly increased. It is the treasure in Lu Bu's hands. Why doesn't he want to have more? But the source of soldiers alone is the standard of one in a hundred, and it is destined not to be too many.

"If I can have an army of one million, maybe ten thousand will fall!" Lu Bu sighed.

What is the concept of an army of one million? The population of Lu Bu's current jurisdiction is only 1.23 million, and an army of one million is equivalent to making Lu Bu all the people serve as soldiers, no matter men, women, old or young.

Not to mention Lu Bu, even Yuan Shu, who has the largest population, cannot support an army of one million.

Li Ru naturally understood this truth, and could only nod his head regretfully. With the current population of Guanzhong, it would be a burden to support more than 100,000 soldiers, let alone more.

While the two were talking, they saw Gao Shun coming on horseback, got on the general platform, and bowed to Lu Bu, "See my lord."

"It seems that this horse has been subdued by Gong Zheng." Lu Bu stretched out his hand to help Gao Shun, and then smiled.

As for Ma Chao's arrangement, although Ma Chao was willing to follow Lu Bu, he was considered a young general who had been buried as a guard. Ma Chao had experience in leading troops.

It's just that he has an unruly temper, he is self-confident and unwilling to learn more, ordinary generals can't teach him, and Lu Bu doesn't have much time to teach him, so after Lu Bu subdued Ma Chao, he thought of throwing him to Gao Shun's side and let Gao Shun teach him.

Looking at it now, he was right. There are not many people in the army who can restrain Ma Chao with their abilities, but Gao Shun happens to be one.

"This kid is indeed talented, but if he is not strictly disciplined and allowed to do whatever he wants, his achievements will be limited after all. Thank you, my lord, for not interfering." Gao Shun clasped his fists and said.

Since Lu Bu had come early, he had obviously seen how Gao Shun taught people before. Lu Bu did not stop him, but respected Gao Shun so that he would not let Gao Shun lose his military prestige, which made Gao Shun very grateful.

"It doesn't matter. Some people will never make sense with words. It's good to be respectful." Lu Bu shook his head. When Ma Teng beat his son, Lu Bu thought it was too much. Later, he discovered that Ma Teng's education method is actually very good. That's right, it's just not hard enough.

"A few days ago, you reported on the separate casting of equipment for the trapped camp. I have asked Ma Jun to assemble craftsmen. At that time, Ma Jun will personally come and design the military equipment for the trapped camp." Lu Bu, led by Gao Shun, began to inspect the camp.

"Thank you, my lord." Gao Shun was careless in expressing, and he could only think of this when he thanked him.

When everyone came to the wounded barracks, Ma Chao had just been cured. Seeing Lu Bu and others, he got up quickly and rushed towards this side with a strong smell of medicine all over his body.

"Where is the monster!?" Dian Wei was startled, and kicked Ma Chao to the ground.

Just now everyone was far away, and the process of Ma Chao's injury wasn't too detailed. All he knew was that he was beaten for a long time by a group of people, so Dian Wei didn't recognize Ma Chao at the first time.

"Fatty Dian, Li must have done it on purpose!" After Ma Chao's heart-piercing scream, he let out a roar, struggled to get up and rushed towards Dian Wei, but Dian Wei pinned his head.

"Ma Chao?" Dian Wei looked at Ma Chao whose face was so swollen that he couldn't see his original appearance, tried his best to hold back a smile, and said, "Who can recognize you with such a ghostly appearance?"

"My lord~" Ma Chao looked at Lu Bu, a little aggrieved.

"Do you want to leave here?" Lu Bu looked at Ma Chao and asked.

Gao Shun also looked at Ma Chao.

Ma Chao immediately shook his head and said, "My lord, don't worry, a little setback, if it's like this, I, Ma Chao, will be ashamed to be the queen of Fubo. The last general will definitely learn the art of war diligently. When the last general defeats Gao Shun, the last general will return to the lord." By your side!"

"Backbone!" Dian Wei pressed Ma Chao's head with one hand, and pinched his face with the other hand. Ma Chao, who was in pain for a moment, collapsed the firm image he had just established.

"Fatty Dian, one day, I will beat you to your knees and beg for mercy!" Ma Chao glared at Dian Wei and growled.

"Okay, I'll wait for that day!" Dian Wei grinned, "But before that..."

"Hmph!" Ma Chao paused, stepped back a few steps to Gao Shun's side and said, "I don't care about you in front of my lord today!"

Lu Bu ignored the two, and stood together with Gao Shun and Li Ru to discuss the next thing. At present, the population under Lu Bu's rule is too small, and it is a bit laborious to raise these soldiers. External expansion is inevitable.

At present, Lu Bu has two directions, one is Hedong. Hedong and Hanoi belong to the land of Sanfu, but now Hanoi is Yuan Shao's territory. Wait for the opportunity to win Bingzhou!

Now that Lü Bu has let Li Su get in touch with Zhang Yang, it would be best if Zhang Yang could turn to the imperial court to help him occupy Bingzhou.

In addition to Hedong, there is another direction that is Nanyang.

"My lord, Nanyang belongs to Yuan Shu now, and this person is the biggest prince in the world. If he seizes Nanyang for no reason, will he be suspected of declaring war on the princes of the Guandong?" Gao Shun asked.

It's not that he didn't dare to fight, but that Lu Bu's overall strength is not even considered average in today's world, so it is somewhat unwise to rashly start a war with Yuan Shu, who is the strongest.

"No." Li Ru shook his head with a smile. Since they dared to target Yuan Shu, it was naturally after analysis. Seeing that Gao Shun was puzzled, Li Ru explained: "Although Yuan Shu is strong, he also made enemies everywhere because of it. If you look at the map, the area is indeed connected, but Nanyang is separated by Woniu Mountain, Zhongyang Mountain, and Dabie Mountain, but Nanyang is not solid to Yuan Shu."

Nanyang can fight!

"Liu Biao of Jingzhou is appointed by the grand master. He has old grievances with Yuan Shu. He is a clan member of the Han family. We call on the emperor in the name of the emperor. Even if Liu Biao does not join forces with our army, he will definitely not help Yuan Shu!"

Li Ru smiled and said, "Finally, now that Yuan Shu is detaining the court envoys for no reason and disrespecting the court, we are following the destiny of sending troops. The princes of the world can't deny it, and they can't help Yuan Shao, nor can they help Yuan Shu."

Nanyang is not only an enclave for Yuan Shu, but also for all the princes. Even if Cao Cao and Tao Qian want to help, they are separated from Yuzhou, let alone Yuan Shao. There is no reason to help Yuan Shu.

Even Yuan Shao might take this opportunity to attack Yuan Shu and cooperate with Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shu.

"But Nanyang is also a long way to our army. If there is a mistake in employing people, I'm afraid..." Gao Shun looked at Lu Bu and Li Ru, this place could easily escape the imperial court's control.

"That's exactly what my lord and I came here for." Li Ru looked at Gao Shun and said with a smile, "Ru also asked my lord, if I go to Nanyang, who can be my lord's garrison? My lord said it bluntly, I don't believe it if I'm not respectful!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Shun silently saluted Lu Bu, "Thank you, my lord!"

"Although you and I have known each other for a short time, we are respectful and righteous, but Bu knows very well that everyone in the world will betray me, but respectful and righteous will not!" Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun and said seriously.

Gao Shun didn't speak, but gave Lu Bu a deep salute.

"Of course, Nanyang may not be the first to attack. Now the east and Nanyang can only move one place, so the lord and I came to find the general and discuss where to go first?"

Gongsun Zan, the third prince: Youzhou has 2.52 million people, and Qingzhou has 3.7 million people, but neither of them has a complete population. The population should be around 5 million when the time comes

The fourth prince Cao Cao: Yanzhou 4 million

Liu Biao, the fifth prince: Jingzhou has a population of 6.3 million, excluding Nanyang's 2.44 million, and actually controls a population of 3.86 million

Liu Yan, the sixth prince: Yizhou has a population of 7.23 million, but Nanzhong accounts for half of the population. The actual population is only about 3.2 million in the four counties of Bajun, Shujun, Hanzhong, and Guanghan

Tao Qian, the seventh prince: Xuzhou 2.8 million

The eighth prince Lu Bu: The four counties of Sili have a population of 800,000, and Xiliang has a population of 470,000, a total population of 1.27 million

The above is the data before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the data after the Yellow Turban Rebellion cannot be found, and the ranking is only calculated by population, not the real strength
