Chapter 035 [Eating alone]
The day after conquering Shouchun, Lu Bu and Sun Ce returned one after another in pursuit of Shouchun, and brought back thousands of surrendered troops.[][].[23][wx].[].[].[]
However, Yuan Shu, Yuan Yao and his son are still missing, and they will never see anyone in their lives or die, and there will be no news about them.
As these two groups of people entered the city, the atmosphere that Shouchun City finally calmed down became tense again.
The three vassals were stationed in the same city. They seemed to be peaceful and quiet, but in fact they were undercurrents and fought wits and courage.
Under the calm, there are elusive battles hidden, invisible and intangible, but they are real, and they are brewing and sublimating all the time, waiting for a sudden outbreak at a certain moment.
At the same time, the rebellion of bandits throughout Jiujiang, Runan, Yingchuan and other places is quietly taking place, showing an intensified trend, spreading rapidly to the entire Yuzhou.
In this sudden rebellion of bandits, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans who had previously occupied Runan and Chen Lan, Lei Bo and other forces who rebeled from Yuan Shu were all involved. They took advantage of the Allied forces to capture Shouchun and burn, kill and loot, resulting in the large families in Jiujiang, Yuzhou and other prefectures and counties being brutally poisoned, robbed, murdered and set fire, and did everything.
Within ten days, hundreds of powerful gentry in Yuzhou and Jiujiang were slaughtered, causing disaster to the whole family, and both people and wealth were gone. Wherever the bandits went, they were burned and killed and robbed, and blood flowed into a river; wherever they passed, they were burned, without any humans and animals, and the means were extremely cruel.
Fortunately, these robbers and bandits still had some conscience and restrained their robbers. The targets of the robbers were all the aristocratic families and gentry and powerful people in each county, and did not wantonly kill innocent people. Therefore, these bandits had a conscience and were not completely vicious people.
What is interesting is that when bandits and bandits were rampant, the Shouchun Prefecture Patriarchate was holding a grand celebration banquet.
On the fourth day of Shouchun City being occupied by the Allied Forces, Li Li, the leader of the Alliance against Yuan, ordered the reward of the three armies, and held a banquet in the main hall of the provincial governor's office to invite all the princes and their generals under their tent, as well as Huainan officials, aristocratic families and gentry who took the initiative to surrender.
The celebration banquet lasted for three days, with more than 3,000 attending the banquet, almost all the well-known figures in the Huainan territory who knew the current affairs.
At the same time as the banquet was held by the provincial governor's office, more than 100,000 Allied soldiers were also full of wine and meat and drink happily. In addition, the leader of the alliance Li Li rewarded all the soldiers participating in the war, and each soldier could receive a thousand coins, a piece of cloth or an ornament, and the rewards received by the generals in command were even more serious. In short, everyone in the army did not fail, and they all gained something and were very happy.
After celebrating the merits, Li Li ordered the entire army to rest for half a month except for the soldiers guarding the city.
During this period, it happened to be the time when the powerful and powerful gentry of Jiujiang County and Yuzhou were poisoned. Therefore, the powerful and powerful families in each county were in a desperate situation but could not receive any assistance. It can be said that they should not be effective every day, and they could only become scorched earth and completely lost in the dust. The bandits and thieves who killed and robbed people made a lot of money, and suddenly came and returned with a full load, without encountering decent resistance from beginning to end. It can be said that they did whatever they wanted and came and went freely.
Everything is such a coincidence. Everything is so natural, everything is so clean and neat.
Half a month later, Lu Su, who was ordered to come, led hundreds of civil officials to Shouchun, and immediately officially became the governor of Yuzhou and also the governor of Jiujiang County. At the beginning of his tenure, Lu Su asked for an order to integrate surrendered troops and reorganized them into county government troops, under the jurisdiction of General Bo Cai, the general of Zhendong, and recommended Bo Cai to be appointed as General Zhennan and to guard Yuzhou. At the same time, Lu Su recommended Zhang Xun as General Pinghuai and Wu Meng, and also to engage in Yuzhou; recommended Yuan Yin as a deputy governor of Yuzhou, and recommended Xun You as a deputy governor of Yuzhou, and also to lead Jiujiang, and recommended Lei Bo and Chen Lan as the general of the Central Army.
Li Li will follow the person recommended by Lu Su, and immediately put it into action, issued a general order, formally appointed everyone above to take office immediately.
At the same time, he issued a list of people to calm the people of Huainan and made a solemn promise to exempt taxes within two years. Lu Su even came forward personally to recruit bandits such as Lei Bo and Chen Lan, and sent 50,000 troops to various counties to eliminate bandits. In addition, more than 300 civil officials brought by Lu Su were all placed in various counties under the control of the Xiliang Army, and served as county magistrates, county magistrates or county magistrates, rectified officials, eliminate bandits, maintained public order, and actively restored people's livelihood.
This combination of punches used to suppress and pacify the Yuzhou and Jiujiang prefectures and counties that were originally full of war quickly pacified. Countless refugees and people who escaped from the war were relieved in a timely manner, got rid of difficulties, scattered resettlement, and settled again.
All this happened under the noses of Sun Ce and Lu Bu, and they were dazzled and shocked. The moment before, the bandits were still rampant everywhere, killing and setting fires, and doing all kinds of evil; the moment later, Lu Su quickly cut off the mess, took the riots, recruited bandits and bandits, sent officials to take over the counties and counties, concentrated on resettlement of refugees, and sent troops to eliminate bandits and eliminate public security. The whole process was extremely rapid. Lu Su rushed in front, let go of his hands and feet to carry out benevolent policies, and Li Li was in the rear to boldly delegate power. The two ministers sang and reconciled, and clarified the chaotic situation clearly in every move. In ten days, they put it on the right track, and everything was moving forward in an orderly and rapid manner.
This scene is really incredible and the speed is too fast!
So much so that Lu Bu and Sun Ce were overwhelmed and could not react at all, and could not keep up with the rhythm of Li Li and Lu Su's thinking.
By the time they realized it, everything had been settled, Li Li and Lu Su had already done the big things and began to advance all matters step by step, but they themselves were in a leisurely manner.
But Li Li was free, but Lu Bu and Sun Ce couldn't sit still.
What's this? This is a real robbery!
Yuzhou and Jiujiang County were jointly captured by the Allied forces. Even though Sun Ce and his subordinate Jiangdong Army did not work, Lu Bu made great efforts. Most of the Yuzhou was captured by him by Xuzhou Army. But now, Li Li swallowed it up in one mouthful, and without even a greeting, he took all the data of the entire Yuzhou and surrounding counties, including Jiujiang. In this way, wouldn’t Lu Bu work in vain and not gain any land?
Even if Lu Bu is like this, how could Sun Ce be ashamed of being as good as hell? How could he sit in peace?
How could Sun Ce not understand the principle that the lips are gone and the teeth are cold?
Seeing Li Li's victory invading Lu Bu, Sun Ce suddenly became in danger. Yuzhou and Jiujiang County were occupied by Li Li. If this situation continues, Li Li should attack him in the next step, and the target is Lujiang County.
Compared to Sun Ce who was anxious, Lu Bu completely went wild.
I think he led 80,000 Xuzhou troops to fight for half a year, attacked cities and camps, and acted as the pioneer of the Allied forces, resulting in the loss of soldiers and generals, and most of the troops were lost. Now that he finally achieved his goal, Li Li alone occupied all the prefectures and counties, and he did not leave half an inch of land for him. Is this really unreasonable?
As the leader of the alliance, you can eat meat yourself, and it’s okay to eat more, but you always have to leave soup for your allies, right?
But Li Li actually ate all the soup and meat, and didn't even leave a bite of the leftover soup for Lu Bu. This was too much, so how could Lu Bu swallow this anger?
Faced with such a situation, if Lu Bu could swallow his anger and keep calm and not argue with Li Li, then he would not be Lu Bu Lu Fengxian. What's more, how can he face his soldiers, how can he take Xuzhou and how can he stand among the heroes in the world?
"Li Li bullies too much!" When Lu Bu learned that all the counties and counties occupied by his soldiers were taken away by the Xiliang army, he angrily slapped the table, and then took the wolf cavalry straight to the provincial governor's mansion, and angrily looked for Li Li to argue.
Lu Bu led his army to come this time, and there was a intention to raise an army to question him. His attitude was very clear. If Li Li returned half of the counties in Yuzhou to him, he would have just given him his own self, otherwise he would not let him go with Li Li, as if he would fight.
"Wen Hou is here, and you will be welcomed by mistake. Don't blame Wen Hou."
From a distance, I saw Lu Bu leading his army to gallop. Guo Jia stood in front of the mansion without moving. The commander of the Hu Ben Camp Dian Wei and more than a hundred soldiers stood behind him, looking coldly at the wolf cavalry that was getting closer and closer. When Lu Bu turned over and dismounted and rushed straight to the mansion, Guo Jia stepped forward, bowed with a smile and bowed.
"Hmph!" Lu Bu snorted angrily, looked at Guo Jia with his eyes narrowed, then turned his head and stomped the Fang Tian Hua Ji heavily on the steps.
With a loud "bang", the bluestone slab as big as a millstone was scattered and cracked by the handle of Fang Tian Huaji, like blooming buds. The handle of the Fang Tian Huaji was inserted into the stone slab one foot deep. The bluestone under the handle immediately turned into powder and stone chips splashed everywhere.
Guo Jia, who was standing in front of Lu Bu, was still calm, with a faint smile on his face and his body remained motionless. After seeing the bluestone being crushed by Fang Tian's painting halberd, he said with a smile: "Wen Hou is extremely powerful and has spread all over the world. Today, he knows that the rumors are true and the meeting is even more famous. Speaking of which, Marquis Wen is indeed a close friend of my lord, and he is a soulmate. Yesterday, the lord said that this bluestone was too big, and it was really annoying in the corridor. I didn't expect that Marquis Wen also found it hindered the view today, so he shattered it. From this, it can be seen that Marquis Wen and my lord are just heroes who are similar in their views, and they coincide with each other! Hahahaha."
"Uh!" Lu Bu was surprised when he heard the sound, and he didn't react for a moment, but the anger in his heart was somewhat dispelled by Guo Jia's smile. After all, it was not a smiley person. Besides, Guo Jia is not an ordinary person. Lu Bu could not give him a good face in his anger, but he did not dare to attack him. What's more, Dian Wei stood behind Guo Jia with his hands behind him, obviously his hands behind him were already clenched tightly at this moment. Once Lu Bu dared to extend his hand to Guo Jia, the result must be that he would welcome Dian Wei's double halberd before he hit Guo Jia.
"Can the general be in the mansion? I want to see him?" As he spoke coldly, Lu Bu pulled out Fang Tian's painting halberd and handed it to Wei Xu behind him. Then, without waiting for Guo Jia to answer, he stepped forward, crossed the threshold and walked into the front yard, and headed straight for the main hall.
