After a two-day stop in Wenxian County, the migratory procession then marched south.

Compared to the previous slow pace, the speed of the march was significantly faster. The mountain people have confidence in Lu Bu in their hearts, so they are looking forward to going to Luoyang as soon as possible.

Approaching the turbid river, the turbid and majestic river water is agitated, splashing rolling waves and huge roaring sound in the dangerous place, which is daunting.

The mountain people were divided into hundreds of groups and began to cross the river in an orderly manner.

At the same time, Lu Bu received information from Chang'an.

According to the letter, the ministers quarreled endlessly in the Weiyang Palace, and in the end, the Son of Heaven decided to make Lü Bu king.

Upon learning of this, the soldiers under Lu Bu's command were all overjoyed and congratulated Lu Bu one after another. However, Lu Bu's face did not show the slightest joy, but showed a strong worry.

The Han Dynasty has not had an example of a king with a different surname for hundreds of years, and if the Son of Heaven is crowned king, it will undoubtedly push Lu Bu to the forefront and make the scholars be punished, which will also give the Kwantung princes a name of rejuvenating the teacher and asking for guilt.

Lu Bu is not afraid of war, but now these hundreds of thousands of mountain people have tied Lu Bu's hands and feet, making him unable to use it.

"Lord, looking at your appearance, it doesn't seem very happy."

Guo Jia stepped forward and stood with Lu Bu on the edge of the turbid river, looking at the river flowing eastward.

"I have returned to the court to make me king, and I ask the Son of Heaven to withdraw his will to make me king."

Lu Bu seemed to say indifferently, but Guo Jia still heard a little unwillingness in his words.

For so many years, Lu Bu fought for the Han Dynasty in the south and the north, supporting the Son of Heaven and Anli the people, which can be described as hard work, and with his outstanding achievements over the years, he is fully worthy of the word 'king'.

But right now, it's not the time to be crowned.

Lu Bu knew it in his heart.

If he becomes king, the princes of the Kwantung region will inevitably form an alliance again to come to his uncle. What's more, there is also Liu Wei, an extremely unstable factor, who is adrift.

What Lu Bu has to do now is to recuperate and recuperate, expand the land in the tuntian, and wait for these hundreds of thousands of mountain people to completely settle down and be able to provide food for the imperial court as military salaries. Lu Bu was able to free up his hands and concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others.

I'm afraid, Yuan Shao will start a war against him at this time.

It is okay to feed these hundreds of thousands of mountain people with the grain stored in Guanzhong and Bingzhou, but if the expenses of the war are taken into account at the same time, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it for two years, and the government treasury will be emptied.

This is also where Lu Bu's concerns lie.

"The lord doesn't have to worry, Yuan Shao has a gentle temperament, is indecisive, and is not the master of great things. Although there are many advisers under his command, they are each in their own way, and there are many contradictions. The lord only needs to send a man of argument, or provoke it, perhaps with benefits, it will be able to completely divide it, so that Yuan Shao has no time to invade the south. ”

Guo Jia said indifferently that among the princes of various places, the only one who could threaten Lu Bu was Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei were weak, and they didn't have half of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses combined, even if they dared to send troops, it was not enough to shake Lu Bu; Yuan Shu was scared by Lu Bu before, as long as Lu Bu didn't go to Huainan to find him, he definitely didn't dare to take the initiative to find Lu Bu's bad luck; As for Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, after several battles with Yuan Shao, they were all defeated, and now he is hiding in Yijing City, and he can basically be sentenced to withdraw from the hegemony stage; Liu Biao and Liu Zhang's followers are not to be worried.

The current situation seems to be full of dangers, but in fact it is as stable as Mount Tai.

Listening to Guo Jia's analysis, Lu Bu felt a lot more relieved.

After nearly four months of migration, millions of mountain people finally entered Luoyang without danger.

Luoyang City, as the former capital of the Han Dynasty, was destroyed by fire after Dong Zhuo's disaster, and has not been rebuilt for so many years. Entering the city, a sense of desolation rushed towards you.

Returning to the former mansion, after cleaning up, Lu Bu made the next plan deployment. This is also the decision he made after repeated discussions with Guo Jia, Xiao Ji and others on the way.

First of all, it is necessary to arrange a place for these hundreds of thousands of mountain people to live, and then register their household registration, measure the land, distribute it according to the number of households, and set the annual tax ......

In short, most of them are trivial and complicated things.

As a result, more local officials are needed.

Sima Lang was the first to be the first to go undercover for many years, and because he had recruited the thieves in the Taihang Mountains, he was appointed by Lu Bu as the Luoyang Order, responsible for all the affairs of the governor Luoyang.

As for the other officials, Lü Bu had already sent a letter to Chang'an, asking the families to recommend the scholars of the family and to select young talents from the Taixue to serve in official positions in various parts of Luoyang, which was regarded as a test of experience.

In addition, Lu Bu also threw an olive branch to the Yuzhou families and local gentry near Luoyang, inviting them to send talented students from the clan to serve in Luoyang.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, at least it can leave a good impression on them, which can also lay the groundwork for the capture of Yuzhou in the future.

After talking about internal affairs, agriculture and mulberry, let's talk about the military.

This time, the head of the thieves who surrendered to Lu Bu had a total of more than 30 people. The number of troops under the command of the thieves is uneven, there are tens of thousands of people, and there are only one or two thousand people, but all of them are added together, and they are nearly 100,000, which is not a small number.

Prior to this, when Lu Bu fought with them, he found that these thieves generally had low combat effectiveness, and many of them couldn't even use basic assassination moves, and those who really had the bloody courage to fight hard were not even a single percent.

To put it bluntly, most of these thieves are exiled people, forced to make a living, so they have to blend in with the bandits.

In response to this matter, Lu Bu had already ordered disarmament and transferred Gao Shun from Chen Liu. He was instructed to retrain the remaining 50,000 thieves to get them used to the way of life in the barracks and to understand the honor of the collective.

Lu Bu also specially formulated a new name for them, called the 'Black Mountain Army'.

As for those leaders who returned to obedience, Lu Bu also clearly said to them: "He is very welcome to stay in the army and serve; If they are unwilling to serve, Lu Bu can also read that they have surrendered and guarded along the way, give them land and money, and allow them to return to their hometowns. ”

Among them, Zuo Zhanghachi was the first to stand up, saying that he was already old and frail, and even if he had the heart, he was unable to make greater contributions to the general, so he asked to leave.

Lu Bu didn't say anything, and immediately agreed.

With Zuo Zhangba as an example, the group of thieves in the northern mountain range came out one after another, expressing their willingness to unload their armor and return to their hometowns, and honestly cultivate the fields in the countryside.

Before, they were forced to submit to the power of Lu Bu. Now that they can gather and disperse, they naturally don't want to stay here longer. What's more, in their hearts, there will always be only Zhang Yan who can really convince them.

Lu Bu approved it together, and he didn't have too many regrets in his heart. These thieves were illiterate, nor did they have the courage and strategy to go, and to him whether they left or stayed was irrelevant.

As for the rest of the people, they were all willing to follow under Lu Bu's tent and obey orders.
