Chapter 525: Showing a Hand
With the efforts of tens of thousands of people, from Huguan to Huai County, a wide cement road was built within two months, the cement road was built, the cement used was worthless, the largest expenditure was to transport cement and people's meals, at the beginning some people were very rusty with the construction of cement roads, under the leadership of skilled craftsmen, the action was more and more proficient.
This cement road is very important for the significance of the state, which can greatly save the time of the army transfer, walking on the cement road, and the soldiers of the state are also very excited, in the days of the yin, but people feel what is uncomfortable, often wet.
Conquering Hedong, Dangyin, and the state army lost more than 10,000 people, taking advantage of this winter, and the state army is also going to recruit troops, the whole world in Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, Sun Ce's invasion of Jiangxia, the situation has become grim again, especially Sun Ce's attack on Jiangxia, is to attack the dignity of the Han family, Sun Ce told the princes with actions, what can the Han family do, at this time, there are soldiers in the hands to have power, with a name can not suppress anyone.
In fact, the princes also did this, on the surface under the banner of the Han family, there are still few people who are in awe of the Han family in their hearts, and what they want is interests.
The transfer of the Jizhou army did not hide from Lu Bu's sight, and it was Henan Yin who broke through for the Cao army to make Lu Bu decide to return to the army, and the Cao army did not move in Henan Yin, and there was a great opportunity to attack Hedong, at this time, Lu Bu did not want to gamble, after all, he had just occupied Hedong, there were many unstable factors, although the Wei family and the Pei family fled from Hedong, but the existing small families and families in Hedong were still a force to be reckoned with.
Before the army left, Lu Bu still ordered Zhang Liao to lead the army to patrol near Wei County, providing an opportunity for the Montenegrin army, as long as the Montenegrin army can let the Jizhou army return in vain, LΓΌ Bu will lead the troops to attack Jizhou at the first time, the army went out, consuming too much grain and grass, and transporting the grain and grass from Jinyang to Chaoge, the consumption along the way is not a few.
After stationing the army in Huai County, Lu Bu stayed in Hanoi, and the war continued, so that he had no more free time, but he remembered that Sima's family was in Hanoi, and Sima's family had seized the existence of the Cao family's world, and if he could get the help of Sima's family, it would have an immeasurable role in the Bingzhou army.
The name of the Sima family in Hanoi is still not weak, Lu Bu decided to go to Sima's house to find out, by the way to take a look at the situation in Hanoi, compared to Hedong, the state army ruled Hanoi for a longer time, if you want to really occupy Hanoi, so that Hanoi is completely stable, you have to get the hearts of the people, compared with the family, Lu Bu pays more attention to the people, such as the reason why the state army can win many victories, more in the hearts of the soldiers have a belief in victory.
After settling the affairs in the army, Lu Bu took Jia Xu and Dian Wei to Wen County, where Sima's family was located.
In order not to cause a sensation, Lu Bu and the others only had more than ten guards to follow, and the guards were dressed like the guards of ordinary families, which was also what Lu Bu wanted to see the real situation of the people of Hanoi since the Bingzhou army occupied Hanoi.
When it was noon, Lu Bu saw cooking smoke rising not far away, looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, why don't you go to the people's homes to beg for food?" β
Jia Xu understood Lu Bu's intentions, nodded and said, "It's just that the guards behind him are too conspicuous, and ordinary people will definitely not dare to step forward after seeing them." β
"General Dian Wei, you take the guards to hide, Ben Hou and Wen He go to the village to have a look." Lu Bu admonished, and then walked towards the village with Jia Xu.
After a long period of battle, Lu Bu's heart has always been tight, and now walking in the quiet countryside, his mood has also been greatly relaxed, as for going to Sima's house, Lu Bu did not tell Jia Xu, the example of Shuijing Villa is in front of him, he doesn't want to be embarrassed in front of Guo Jia, and repeat the same mistakes in front of Jia Xu.
If the Sima family refuses to take refuge in the state, Lu Bu doesn't mind using strength on his own territory, and since he can't use it for himself, he must eradicate it as soon as possible.
Before, Lu Bu also ordered the Flying Eagle soldiers to secretly inquire about the Sima family in Hanoi, but Jia Xu didn't know about it, and thought that Lu Bu wanted to secretly see the situation of the people in Hanoi, and such a thing was not uncommon in Bingzhou.
As soon as he entered the village, two young men flashed out, holding wooden sticks, staring at Lu Bu and Jia Xu vigilantly, "Who are you?" Why head here? β
Lu Bu also found it interesting, in a village, there are even sentry people.
Jia Xu stepped forward and said, "We are merchants in Wen County, we went to Huai County to do business before, and we didn't want to meet robbers on the way, only the two of us escaped, and this is the escort below." β
When the two young men heard this, they glanced Jia Xu up and down, and saw that he was quite polite, and Lu Bu was five big and three thick, and the doubts in their hearts were put down a lot.
"You wait first, and then go and tell Lizheng." The young man carried a wooden stick and walked towards the village.
In the Han Dynasty, the local governance was ten miles and one pavilion, the pavilion had a pavilion chief, ten pavilions and one township, the township had three elders, ranks, Qiangfu, and Youjiao, and Youjiao was responsible for inspecting and arresting things.
Jia Xu turned his gaze to the other young man and asked, "Why are you two hiding behind a tree?" β
The young man saw that Jia Xu was quite kind, and replied, "Don't hide it from the guests, recently there was a group of strongmen near Lijiazhuang, robbing the house, there have been three villages that have been poisoned, Lijiazhuang is the largest village in the vicinity, Li Zheng confessed, must be cautious, so he ordered people to keep an eye around the village, as long as there are strangers entering, to inform the people in the village, so as not to be a strong man's subordinates." β
"Strongman?" Jia Xu was puzzled: "Doesn't the county care about this matter?" β
"Hmph, those officials who fish and flesh the people, how can they take care of the people, it is said that You Jiao has something to do with this group of strongmen, even if it is in the county, no one will take care of it, but it will attract the revenge of the strongmen, and Zhangjia Village not far away is a precedent." The young man's expression was full of resentment.
"There are such things." Lu Bu snorted coldly.
The strong killing intent emanating from Lu Bu's body startled the young man, and the wooden stick in his hand unconsciously tightened, and his legs trembled unconsciously lightly.
"The guard below can't listen to the bullying of the people by strongmen or officials." Jia Xu explained.
The young man's gaze towards Lu Bu was also much kinder, in his eyes, anyone who hated the strongman was in the same camp as them.
About a quarter of an hour later, Li Zheng came to the head of the village with a dozen young men.
