Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 214 Bottom Line

It took most of the day to cook a gurgling meal, mainly because there is no entertainment in this Sichuan area, and the sun can only be seen for a few days all day long, and it is cold, so everyone gathers around the fire, not all for eating.

In the afternoon, Huang Quan, who was sent by Lu Bu to Nanzhong to discuss matters, returned.

"It's just right for Gongheng to come, let's eat together to warm up, Lao Dian, and then let someone make some meat." Seeing Huang Quan came back, Lu Bu waved to him, and then asked Dian Wei to get some more meat meat to eat.

"Thank you, my lord!" Huang Quan didn't refuse, sat down as he said, took the bowls and chopsticks from Dianwei, and began to tell Lu Bu what he had gained from his trip to South China.

"My lord, that's how things are. If you want to open up business, you need the imperial court to recognize the Nanzhong feudal kingdom. All ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang are willing to pay tribute every year, but they don't accept the imperial court's governance!" Huang Quan looked at Lu Bu and said in a deep voice.

"Is this the meaning of those barbarians, or the meaning of the Yong family?" Lu Bu asked casually, feeding a piece of meat to the little guy.

Huang Quan didn't speak, but sometimes, there is a lot of meaning in not speaking.

"What is this? Do you want to be king?" Dian Wei looked at Jia Xu and Fazheng next to him in confusion, feeling that they were no different from those kings in the Western Regions.

"It's different." Jia Xu shook his head and said, "This is to let the imperial court cede Nanzhong, something that the princes of the world dare not do, they did it."

Regardless of the interests or ideals of the princes of the world, everyone agrees on one thing, that is, no matter how they fight, the world should be unified, and the territory of the world belongs to one country, and what the Yong family did this time, Do you think that you and the big man are the same country, and if you want to cut off this part of southern Xinjiang, you will be a foreign country with the big man from now on.

"What is the use of that place in Nanzhong? Why do you feel that the Lord is very unhappy?" Dian Wei Jian asked in a low voice.

When Lu Bu gets angry, he doesn't know how to show his teeth and claws. Although he looks calm, he has been with Lu Bu for so many years. Dian Wei knows exactly what happens when Lu Bu gets angry. The room was filled with oppressive atmosphere, and even Xiao Baizhen, who had been calling for food before, was silent, lying quietly at Lu Bu's feet.

"Under the whole world, is it the land of the king? Don't care if the land in the southern border is remote or not, but it belongs to the Han. Nowadays, the princes in the world don't even have the land to claim the title of king, but suddenly there is someone who wants to split the territory of the Han from forever. This is not only testing the court's bottom line, but also provoking the lord." Jia Xu shook his head and sighed.

This can be regarded as meeting Lu Bu's rebellion. Since Lu Bu took charge of the government, he has tried his best to maintain the majesty of the great Han, defeated Yuan Shu, flattened Hetao, and deterred the Western Regions, so that no one in the world dared to underestimate the righteousness of the court.

But now, what the princes of the Central Plains dare not do has been done by a border family, and there is no need to find any excuses. This alone is enough for Lu Bu to send troops.

"My lord, the Yong family deserves death for all their crimes, but if you want to subdue the Nanmans and stop them from doing more trouble, Zheng believes that the most important thing is to subdue their hearts." Fazheng bowed to Lu Bu.

"Gongheng, what do you think?" Lu Bu didn't answer, but asked lightly.

"I think what Mr. Xiaozhi said..." Huang Quan didn't finish his sentence.

"I'm asking you what you think!" Lu Bu raised his head and looked at Huang Quan, the smile on his face always made one's heart skip a beat.

Fazheng and Jia Xu immediately fell silent. Obviously, Huang Quan wanted to push this matter onto the various tribes of the Nanman at the beginning, and was suspected of violently killing the Yong family, but this time the Yong family had met Lu Bu's bottom line.

"The Yong family...be punished!" Huang Quan sighed and bowed to Lu Bu.

"After taking down the Yong family, let Gongheng execute it." Lu Bu nodded, raised his chopsticks and said, "Continue to eat!"

In the end, the taste of the gurgling had obviously changed, and the time had come for Zheng Nanman.

Huang Quan came out of the governor's mansion, looked back, and finally sighed, this lord is not easy to fool, what the Yong family did is not good, even if they gather a crowd to rebel, they may not be seen as they are now, but now they are hurting themselves .

Although Lu Bu didn't show anger or any other expressions just now, Huang Quan could feel the oppressive feeling at that moment. Sometimes anger really doesn't need to be shown, Huang Quan has really realized what it means to not be angry.

Alas~

As for why you don't say it, it's not because of the deep friendship with the Yong family. It's just that at this point, the Yong family may be hard to be kind. At the same time, the hatred between Lu Bu and the scholars will deepen. If this continues, one of the two sides must completely surrender or even It is only about dying out. Although Huang Quan voted for Lv Bu and served Lv Bu as the master, he is also from a noble family. He hopes to ease the conflict between the two sides and find a balance that allows the two sides to coexist peacefully in the future.

The Yong family is really damned!

The appearance of the Yong family made this possibility even smaller!

On Lu Bu's side, since he decided to fight, he had to make sufficient preparations.

Don't let anger influence your rationality. This is also the principle of Lu Bu's current military strategy. Sitting in the position of coach, Lu Bu can always keep his head calm.

"My lord, the last general or General Wen Yuan can be in command of this battle, why should my lord come in person?" The next day, when Lu Bu decided to go to Nanzhong himself, several generals were puzzled, and Zhang Ji asked suspiciously.

The mere Nanman ran away after being beaten by Zhang Ji last time. Is it necessary for Lu Bu to come in person?

"This is to cede the land!" Lu Bu looked at Zhang Ji and said, "The Yong family will be destroyed, but how to deal with the various tribes of the Southern Man, is Anmin prepared?"

"This..." Zhang Ji has a headache. Lu Bu has said more than once that the Nanman will fight, but he will also be pulled. They built cities, improved the environment, and developed trade with various ethnic groups in the Nanman, so that the Nanman could integrate into the Han people through these.

After all, compared to the nomadic peoples in the north, the threat of the southern barbarians is actually not that great, and their habits are close to those of the Han people. What Lu Bu meant was to integrate all these ethnic groups in the south and central China. There must be interest attraction, so that they are willing to take the initiative to communicate with them.

It is not difficult to defeat Nanman, but let alone Zhang Ji, look at the world, how many people can do it?

"Let's go get ready, ask Xu Huang to replace Wen Yuan in guarding the fish belly, and he will also go out with the army!" Lu Bu signaled.

From Zhang Liao onwards, Lv Bu had appointed him as the general to guard Bashu. Zhang Liao knew how to deal with the relationship with the Nanman, and how to manage it smoothly, and Lv Bu also needed to teach him.

"Here, the last general will do it." Zhang Ji agreed, turned and left.

From Shu County to southern Xinjiang, the road is difficult, with miasma and swamps everywhere, so it is not suitable for too many people. Lu Bu selected 30,000 elite Shu troops to go with him.

As for why the more elite Guanzhong Army is not used, it’s not that they think it’s overkill, but that the Guanzhong Army’s condition has been declining after entering Shu. I heard that the climate and environment in Nanzhong are even worse, so Lu Bu plans to use the Shu Army as the main force, and the Guanzhong Army will focus on The supervisor of the new plank road in the north.

As for the generals, Jia Xu stayed in the rear and was in charge of commanding and dispatching. He no longer wanted to go into the mountains and walk along the plank road. Fazheng served as the army commander to offer wine, Huang Quan served as the marching commander, Dianwei served as the general guarding the army, and Zhang Liao and Zhang Ji led the army. Generals, Zhang Ren, Gan Ning, Pang De, and the surrendered Wu Yi and other generals in Shu have a total of eighteen members. These people are the captains of each department and lead the armies.

"My lord, it's difficult for this new rail car to travel on normal roads. If wooden rails are laid to the southern border, it will be easily damaged!" Ma Jun took the craftsman who helped him talk to people to find Lu Bu.

The new rail car is different from his unicycle in that it has four wheels. It is highly dependent on wooden rails as well as manpower. It needs people to press the crowbar constantly on it. The car can run very fast on the rails. Let's run the horse, but at least it's much faster than using people to carry food.

The structure has also been streamlined by Lu Bu many times, and it can accommodate four people in it. The storage carts in the rear are connected by chains, and only one of the four people in the front needs to keep pressing the crowbar, and the other three take turns to ensure the delivery speed. .

But this kind of rail car has very strict requirements on the track. Normally, it can go on the road, but it is easy to damage the wheels, and there is no way to control the direction.

Therefore, it is delusional to want to lay this kind of rail car to the counties of Nanzhong during this expedition. It is not that it cannot be laid, but it is easy to be damaged. The rail car is very convenient, but in the event of war, it is easy for people to follow the rail car to find out their grain roads. This is undoubtedly unwise, so Ma Jun thinks it is better to give up the use of the rail car on the battlefield.

If the Central Plains were conquered in the future, railcars could be used for the deployment of internal materials, which would save a lot of manpower, just like in Qin Dynasty, using railcars instead of manpower to quickly transport materials to various places.

For example, from Guanzhong to Nanyang, or from Guanzhong to Luoyang, it will be much more convenient and save a lot to have a rail car.

Lu Bu nodded. Although the rail car was made, he knew it couldn't be used. He looked at Ma Jun and said with a smile, "Deheng can just continue to be in charge of the new plank road. As for this battle, just send some craftsmen by my side. Deheng doesn't need to follow."

Ma Jun is now the governor of the Shu Road. As for the conquest of Nanzhong, let's continue to send it in a wheelbarrow.

"Here!" Ma Jun bowed.

"My lord, the grain harvested last year was not much, but the grain and grass confiscated from various aristocratic families is enough to supply this expedition. If the harvest is harvested in autumn, now that the people's hearts have stabilized, we can buy back some grain from the people, which is enough to cope with it." Crusade." Jiang Xu found Lu Bu, handed over the material account book to Lu Bu to see, and then suggested.

"The autumn harvest...it's almost here." Lu Bu looked at the account books, and then said with a smile, "Let's start transporting the grain and grass."

"Here!" Jiang Xu agreed, turned around and went to work.

At the beginning of the sixth year of Xingping, three months after the pacification of Bashu, Lu Bu led his army to go out again. The goal this time was Zhiguozhong. He wanted to solve all the hidden dangers that might exist in Bashu before leaving Shu!

I'm sorry, I was dragged out just after writing a piece yesterday. I thought I would be back soon, but I didn't even ask everyone for leave, so I was stunned. I'm very sorry
