In the next three days, Lu Yu was not idle, but walked around and also went to Chenggao County.

I even went to Hulao Pass to see the style of the eight passes in Luoyang.

The Hulao Pass in this era, called the Arc destiny, was a pass set up by Emperor Ling of Han in the important roads around Luoyang to resist the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Arc de Arc de Pass is the gateway and an important pass to Luoyang. It connects Songyue in the south and the Yellow River in the north. It has a natural danger.

It is a great momentum of "one man should be at the pass, ten thousand men cannot open", and it has been a place that military strategists of all dynasties must fight for.

Lu Yu went to watch and found that this was indeed the case.

With him, if you want to use brute force to capture, you will not be able to get this Arc decisive without tens of thousands of people.

Thinking about the future, this will be where the three heroes fight against Lu Bu, which makes Lu Yu a little fascinated.

In three days, Lu Yu basically rode a horse and walked all over Chenggao County under Chen San's guidance. From the mouths of different people, he could roughly understand the current situation in Chenggao.

Chenggao now has 13,000 households and 54,000 people. According to population, it is already a big county.

There were 300 thief Cao in the county who were in charge of discipline in the county, and they were with the three elders to discipline the county people.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, although Chenggao did not directly affect it, the corvée service was heavy. In addition, the king of Chenggao County now earned an income from buying an official in the West Garden, and it was usually even more fish and meat in the countryside, and the people were suffering.

Arc de Gate is located in Sishui Town. Although the big head of the food and grass was transferred from Aocang, Xingyang, there were 5,000 defenders in Arc de Gate, even the small head, which made the people in the county unable to bear it. In addition, the people in the county were recruited at will, making the people in the county more difficult.

When the year is good, you can live on hungry. When the year is bad, people will eat each other.

Cannibalism is not a rare thing in this era.

This is the world, even Lu Yu can't change anything.

Besides, Lu Yu knew that the real chaos had just begun.

According to the original history, the heroes competed for the end of the Han Dynasty, and then the world was divided into three points.

However, the so-called heroes compete for the victory is wonderful, but the population in the late Han Dynasty dropped from nearly 60 million to less than 8 million. It can only be said that this is the prosperous era of heroes, but not the prosperous era of the people.

If I can do what I can, I should do something for these people... Lu Yu secretly swears in his heart.

In addition to the news about people's livelihood, Lu Yu finally found out what he wanted to know.

That is the news of the bandits!

Chenggao is adjacent to the Yellow River in the north and Songshan in the south. The name of Chenggao is also the meaning of being high and ridges close to the Yellow River.

Where there are mountains, there are water, but in this era, where there are mountains, there are many bandits.

Although the three Zhang Jiao and the three brothers were dead, the aftermath of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was far from calming down.

Sure enough, on Niutou Mountain in Nanchenggao County, for one month, bandits have gathered, often going down the mountain to rob business travelers and harming people's lives.

However, this group of bandits had a large number of people, with more than 300 thieves, and they did not dare to go to get rid of the thieves.

When informing Henan Yin Arc deputies, almost no response was made.

This matter was put on hold.

This situation is also considered normal.

After all, if you kill this group of bandits, a few days later, others will occupy the mountain and become king, and bandits will be killed endlessly.

Besides...

Killing bandits also brings losses, and no one will do anything that is beneficial.

But Lu Yu understood.

This group of bandits is probably his chance.

Where does fame come from?

From morality, from praise and compliment by celebrities and great scholars, from talent, and even from word of mouth to mouth of the people.

If Lu Yu could solve this group of bandits.

Not to mention anything else, his reputation in Chenggao must have been made.

but...

The thief Cao and the three hundred people dared not do anything to this group of bandits. I think the Niutou Mountain bandits are not persimmons that can be controlled at will.

And the most important thing is that Lu Yu has no one in his hands, and even if he wants these bandits, he doesn't have the qualifications.

"Erlang, the master calls you over."

Lu Yu patted the dust on his body and nodded slightly.

"I'll go later."

After changing into clean clothes and tying his hair on his head, Lu Yu went to the inner hall.

Behind the screen, Lu Boshe had been waiting for a long time.

"Father, the baby is here."

"Sit." Lu Boshe waved his hand gently.

Lu Yu sat upright and knew why his cheap father called him over.

Three days have passed.

"Do you have any change of your mind?"

Lu Yu shook his head heavily.

"The child has decided."

"Um."

Lu Boshe nodded slightly.

He also knew about Lu Yu’s journey through Chenggao these three days. Since his understanding of his son was something that had already made up his mind, it would never change.

This is somewhat similar to that of the old man, me.

"Then I'll send someone to send the letter of recommendation."

As he said that, he was going to hand it to the servant beside him.

"Father, let's wait."

"Oh? Could it be that I changed my mind?"

Lu Boshe looked over with a puzzled look on his face.

Lu Yu shook his head gently.

"Since the Dianjun Academy captain wrote a letter of recommendation for me, the child naturally had to let Situ know the child's ambitions."

"That's true, it's better. Your self-recommendation letter and your nephew Cao Xian's recommendation letter may be more effective."

Lu Yu took out the cloth from his cuff, with only a few lines of words on it.

"Your self-recommendation letter is too short and does not show sincerity."

Isn’t this self-recommendation letter underestimating Situ Wang Yun?

"The words are in the essence but not in the many."

Lu Boshe took the cloth from Lu Yu's hand, and with a light stroke, the word "chuan" on his brow completely disappeared.

"this?"

After reading this self-recommendation letter, Lu Boshe understood the meaning of Lu Yu's previous sentence.

"Thousands of hammers are chiseled out of the deep mountains, and the fire is burned as if it is easy.

Don’t be afraid of being broken, you must keep your innocence in the world.”

What a verse this is written by a person with open mind?

"Lime Song, a good name. If this poem is seen by Situ, this recommendation will definitely be successful."

"Send this letter to Situ's Mansion, remember not to see Situ in the name of the Dianjun Academy, or the name of the rebellious brothers of Cao Taiwei."

Now Cao Cao is wanted by the court. Although Cao Cao dares to write this letter of recommendation, it also shows that he has a deep relationship with Situ of the dynasty.

But if Cao Cao's reputation is not revealed, it is best not to reveal it.

Furthermore, this letter of recommendation also includes Cao Cao's signature.

"The villain understands."

When the servant left, Lu Boshe stood up and took out a box with red paint patterns from behind.

This box is not big, but it is very difficult for Lu Boshe to pick it up.

"Father, this is..."

Lu Boshe opened the box and there were eight horse hoof gold inside.

"This is a gift from my sworn brother Cao Song. It has been used for many years. If you want to do a big thing, you will never be able to accomplish without money."

"Of course, these eight pieces of horse hoof gold cannot be a big deal. It is probably the limit to recruiting hundreds of local heroes."
