Chapter 104: A Great Demon King Fell from the Sky

In early August, His Majesty Liu Hong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, announced to the world that he sent troops to expel Xianbei. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

7When the people heard this, not only did they not run to tell each other joyfully, but sighed and sighed again and again.

This is not the first time that His Majesty the Emperor has conquered Xianbei, as early as a few years ago, His Majesty the Emperor had twice sent troops to the north, but each time he was defeated. The first two defeats made the people gradually lose confidence in the Han army, and if they want to come this time, they are afraid that they will lose more and win less.

More importantly, waging a war requires a lot of manpower and material resources to support, and these costs naturally fall on the people at the bottom in the form of taxes. In previous years, it was fine, at least there was some harvest, but in recent years, there have been many famines, and the people are thankful that they can not starve to death, and where will they get the money to pay these heavy taxes.

The rulers from above don't think about this, they just sit back and enjoy the results, anyway, it's not them who are ruined, so why care.

At the same time that the 50,000 Hanoi troops were marching to the state, the veteran general Zhang Zhong recruited 15,000 Ding Zhuang from various counties and counties to enlist in the army, which was undoubtedly a dry fish for the state with a population of only 5 or 600,000. Even if the war is won in the end, the productivity of the state will be hit hard.

It's not that the old general hasn't thought about this, but he really has no other way, just the Xianbei people entrenched in Wuyuan County are no less than 100,000 people, and now the entire Bingzhou army is only more than 20,000 people, even if you add the upcoming 50,000 Hanoi army, the number is still a big gap with the Xianbei people, what if you don't recruit new soldiers?

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the same is true for a general without soldiers.

If you want to win, you have to fill it with people.

Whether the corpses are piled up like a mountain or a river of blood, as long as you win, you will become a king and lose a king, and it has been the same truth for thousands of years.

After Lu Bu arrived at Yanmen Pass to report to the old general, he went to the cavalry camp stationed south of the pass.

At the beginning, it was attacked by the Xianbei people in Loufu County, and the cavalry battalion was almost wiped out, so 1,200 of the 15,000 Ding Zhuang recruited were sent here.

Lu Bu's first impression of the hedging cavalry camp was very bad.

Standing at the gate of the barracks, there was not even a sentry at the door, and there was not the slightest sound of training inside, it was like an empty camp. If the enemy attacked at this time, wouldn't he be caught off guard, no wonder he would have suffered a catastrophe in Loufu County at the beginning.

After entering the camp, Lu Bu first went to the school (jiao) field to inspect it, but there was no figure on the school field, could it be that they all went out to practice?

Lu Bu thought so, and when he passed by the tent, he heard a snoring sound coming from the tent.

Lu Bu thought that he had misheard, he walked towards that side, opened the curtain of the tent and saw that the ground in the tent was covered with a mat, and the soldiers were lying on it one by one, posing in various postures, snoring and sleeping.

Lu Bu looked at a few more places, and the soldiers in the tent were sleeping without surprise.

I'm still sleeping in broad daylight!

Lu Bu's heart was full of anger, he took a gong from the crossbar outside the tent, held a drumstick in his right hand and struck it, and shouted loudly: "The Xianbei people are coming, the enemy is attacking!" Enemy attack! ā€

As soon as the gong sounded, the sleeping soldiers woke up, and when they heard the words 'Xianbei people', they ran out of the camp in a panic, for fear that if they were a little slower, they would die.

Lu Bu stood in the open space outside, watching these so-called soldiers, scurrying around like clowns, panic and uneasiness appeared on their faces, like frightened birds, some without shirts, some barefoot, and even many with bare buttocks.

Of the thousands, there was only one man, neatly dressed and holding a spear.

The soldiers who rushed out of the camp gradually calmed down after a short commotion, and the horror on their faces was replaced by anger. Because they found that there was no so-called enemy attack at all, and there was not even a shadow of half of the Xianbei people.

They were tricked!

The angry man looked around to find the culprit, then pinned him to the ground and beat him violently.

"I'll count from one to ten, and if there are any undressed and unarmoured, thirty with a baton." A cold voice came diagonally in front of them.

Everyone looked for the voice, and then they saw that the person who spoke was a tall man, with tiger eyes and eyebrows, wearing a black ink armor, not like their simple cloth armor, thinking that he should be the new general.

At this time, Lu Bu had already counted to three.

The soldiers who guessed Lu Bu's identity hurriedly rushed into the camp tent and changed into armor and weapons as quickly as possible.

When Lu Bu counted to ten, the entire cavalry battalion was fully equipped in front of him.

Lu Bu glanced around from left to right, and the soldiers were full of spirits one by one. Lu Bu nodded secretly in his heart, he was still quite satisfied with their execution, and said loudly: "From today on, I will be your new captain, my surname is Lu, and my single name is a cloth character." ā€

Lu Bu!

As soon as this name came out, the soldiers who rushed to the cavalry camp exploded instantly, and now in the Bingzhou military camp, Lu Bu Yanmen Pass sniped at the heroic deeds of the Xianbei people, no one knows, no one knows.

I don't know how many people regard Lu Bu as the target they will catch up with in this life.

"Is he really that flying general Lu Bu?"

"My God, I actually saw General Fei with my own eyes!"

"General Fei, General Fei! Invincible in the world, unparalleled in the world! ā€

Just when everyone was excited, someone snorted dissatisfiedly, expressing disdain, "Just him? How can it be! ā€

This man who regards the wolf cavalry camp as his ultimate destination in his heart, the most intolerable thing is that someone uses Lu Bu's reputation to swagger and deceive everywhere, he glanced at the young lieutenant in front of him, the disdain on his face was even heavier, and he raised three fingers, "Flying General Lu Bu has three major signboards, Chi Su painted the halberd wolf riding camp, and then look at this kid, what kind of man does he have?" Maybe it's a child of a family who came to us to fight the autumn breeze......"

As soon as this person finished speaking, someone immediately nodded in agreement, "That's right, I heard that General Fei is infinitely powerful, and his arms are thicker than our thighs." ā€

"He also has a beard, burly and fierce, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist." The person next to him then added, gritted his teeth and glared, pretending to be fierce.

When Lu Bu heard it in his ears, he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and he didn't know where they heard the rumors.

Because the cavalry camp was an infantry battalion, Lu Bu didn't want to ride Chisu over when he set off, and as for Fang Tian's halberd, it was purely because Lu Bu felt that there would be no shortage of weapons to use in the barracks, so he didn't carry it.

The people below were still chattering non-stop, Lu Bu didn't like this kind of atmosphere, his face was frosty, and he said coldly: "I don't care what you did before, since you have joined the army, from now on, everything must be done in accordance with the laws of the army, and it is forbidden to do so, you know!" ā€

"Got it!" The crowd replied loudly.

"Very good, starting tomorrow, get up and practice at the end of the day."

When everyone heard Lu Bu's words, there was a wail in their hearts. It wasn't even dawn yet!

"Oh yes, when I came, I saw a locust tree at the stone bridge in the north, each of you go and pick a leaf and come back, if anyone cheats, then it will be punished according to military law." The frost on Lu Bu's face was gone, replaced by a smile on his face.

The soldiers looked at Lu Bu's harmless face when he laughed, and there was a twitch in his heart, and his face was completely loveless, from here to the stone bridge, there was at least five miles away, and it was ten miles back and forth, when did this have to run.

But they were forced by Lu Bu's intimidation, scolding their mother in their hearts, but their bodies ran in the direction of Shiqiao very honestly.

"Xue Lan, you stay."

Lu Bu stopped the only well-dressed young man just now.

This world is not big, but small is not small, and the people who should be met can always be met.

That's right, this young man is the Xue Lan who once wanted to be supreme to death, but fortunately, he later got lost and returned, not only came forward to testify against Zhou Fu and others, but also helped Gao Shun clear his name.

Lu Bu didn't dislike him, let alone like him, but asked with some curiosity: "Why did you join the army?" ā€

Xue Lan stood straight in front of Lu Bu, facing Lu Bu's question, her heart was pounding, like a stone hanging in the air, unable to hit the bottom. He swallowed his saliva and replied as if walking on thin ice: "In the past, I did a lot of hurtful things, and I was hated and spurned by the people in the township and county. But since the last time I saw the general, I had the idea of joining the army, and there is ......"

Xue Lan stopped what she wanted to say and closed her mouth, as if she had no intention of continuing.

Lu Bu didn't force this, he patted Xue Lan's shoulder, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hung a warm smile: "Hurry up and chase them, if it's late, you won't be able to catch dinner." ā€

"Yes, General!"

Xue Lan straightened her chest and replied loudly.

Then, the smoke disappeared without a trace.

The next day, at the end of the day.

Lu Bu, who was wearing a military robe, stood in the center of the school field, and there were only a dozen people standing scattered in front of him.

Yesterday he said that the order would be forbidden, and today he will not be able to do it collectively, which clearly shows that it is a provocation launched against him.

Xue Lan was afraid that Lu Bu would lose face and would not be able to get off the stage, so she came out and hugged her fists and said, "General, I'll go and call them all." ā€

Lu Bu shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand to stop Xue Lan, and then took out a spear from the weapon rack, and said to the dozen or so recruits: "I'll talk about the essentials of using the gun first, and then I'll show you its basic movements later." ā€

After waiting for the sun to rise for a long time, a cadre of soldiers in the tent slowly got up, put on their clothes and armor in a hurry, and walked to the school field one after another.

(Lunch today, I took out my mobile phone and saw a book friend writing in the book review area "Take your children to watch it together" and "I hope to finish reading the series in my lifetime", I was happy at the time, and most of the depression brought by work dissipated, thank you for still voting for recommendations, and still thinking about this "lifetime series" work.) )
