Chapter 1489 Encountering bandits on the road
A cement road was built directly from Jiguan to Chang'an, which not only facilitated the army, but also made passing merchants feel a lot more comfortable. When merchants went to do business under Lu Bu's rule, they felt the most comfortable. The cement road saved merchants a lot of money.
The bumps in the road have also become faster in terms of speed. Of course, business fleets traveling on cement roads need to pay a certain fee to maintain the cost of cement roads. Although this regulation first came out, businessmen were dissatisfied.
, however, after comparing the cement road with the dirt road, they no longer complained and acquiesced to this rule.
Looking at the villages along the way, Lu Bu felt much more relaxed. When he first conquered Chang'an, there might not be any human habitation for dozens of miles. The fields on both sides of the road made people feel comfortable. This is a stable governance.
The scene below.
Naturally, many of the millions of people moved to Sanfu were forced to go to Chang'an. It was impossible for the state pastoral office to take into account the thoughts of every person.
What Lu Bu has to do is to do his best to benefit the people and allow them to live a stable life.
The slowly advancing army suddenly stopped.
Lu Bu asked with a low expression: "What happened ahead?" When the army was traveling, the caravan travelers had to avoid it after seeing it.
After a while, Dian Wei rode back.
"Lord, there are people blocking the road ahead, saying that there are bandits nearby, and many villages have been robbed." Dian Wei said that his face was not very good-looking.
"Is there such a thing?" Lu Bu said, "Let those common people come to see me."
"Here." Dian Wei said, cupping his fists.
After being brought by Dian Wei, two common people with hurried expressions and specks of blood on their clothes fell to their knees with a thud and kept kowtowing: "Please, General, make the decision for the people of Zhangjiacun." After a while, two common people came.
His forehead was covered in blood.
Lu Bu signaled Dian Wei to help the people up. Judging from the expressions and actions of the two people, it was obvious that they had been robbed. In the land of Sanfu, there were indeed many thieves and bandits before, especially when the allied forces of the princes attacked Bingzhou.
, the people who went from Hanoi to the land of Sanfu were often plundered by these bandits. During the period when Li Jue and Guo Si occupied Chang'an, they caused harm to the people. Many people were forced to live and became bandits and started the business of strongmen.
, relying on the passers-by to make a living. Soon after the Bingzhou army entered Chang'an, the princes allied forces attacked Bingzhou, leaving the army unable to deal with the bandits.
However, after the princes withdrew their troops, the bandits in the Sanfu Land were purged. Unexpectedly, there are still such rampant bandits today.
"What happened, tell me in detail!" Lu Bu said in a deep voice.
"The grassroots were originally common people in Hanoi. Now in Zhangjia Village, Futing, 20 miles south of Huayin County, a group of strongmen have come to Taihua Mountain recently, robbing homes and doing all kinds of evil. Now three villages have been robbed. Ting
"Commander, all of them were killed." When one of the common people mentioned these bandits, his expression was filled with fear.
"Taihua Mountain?" Lu Bu asked. Normally, the defenders of Huayin would not allow such thieves to be so rampant. "Can you tell the defenders of Huayin?"
"General, although Huayin's defenders have come several times, these bandits are extremely cunning and have evaded the defenders many times." Thinking of the tragic situation in the village, the people knelt down on the ground again and said, "Those bandits have not been plundering for a long time. They must not
I will go far away, and I beg the general to send troops to wipe out these bandits."
Lu Bu said: "General Dian, temporarily place these two people in the army."
"Here." Dian Wei's face also looked a little downcast.
Lu Bu saw the instability of the Sanfu Land from this incident. The thieves and bandits would definitely not be completely quelled by the frequent attacks of the army. The land of a county is not big or small. If it is
These bandits got the news in advance and could easily get their hands on it. The people who migrated from Hanoi and Bingzhou were relatively wealthy themselves, so they could get a lot of things after looting.
Lu Bu ordered Guo Jia to lead the army and continue moving forward, leaving behind 200 cavalry and 200 Modao troops.
A moment later, Wang Yue received the order and hurried over. This shadow guard commander, who was in charge of the shadow guards and made the princes blush, did not dare to be the least presumptuous towards Lu Bu.
"Lord." Wang Yue bowed his hands.
"Do your best to find out the news about the bandits in Jiuhua Mountain. I will get the news in an hour." Lu Bu said in a low voice.
Wang Yue left in a hurry. Although he didn't know what happened, seeing Lu Bu's expression, Wang Yue had some guesses.
At this time, Lu Bu turned his eyes to Ju Yi and said, "General Ju Yi, would you like to follow me to destroy the bandits?"
Ju Yi cupped his fists and said, "This is a matter within the scope of my subordinates."
Since taking refuge with Lu Bu, Ju Yi is still in charge of the Xiandenshishi, and has received Lu Bu's promise that after returning to Chang'an, all the weapons of the Xiandenshishi will be forged with hundreds of steel, and the crossbows used by the soldiers will also be replaced.
Cheng Qiangnu is enough to show that Lu Bu attaches great importance to him.
As for Ju Yi's status, he was promoted to a general because of his meritorious service in combat. This kind of promotion speed is definitely very fast in the army.
Although Ju Yi was not satisfied with this status, through the military system, Ju Yi realized that his opportunity had come. Different from the systems of other princes' armies, in Lu Bu's army, you are the only one who has enough ability.
, if you can get more credit on the battlefield, you don’t have to worry about your position not being promoted. The more elite the team, the more credit you need to improve your position. When a general’s credit exceeds that of the Nine Generals or the Eighth Generals,
It will be replaced. This kind of system is a great inspiration to the generals in the army.
Who doesn't want to become the leading general in the army? It's very simple. You can do it with just merit. As long as you have the ability and ideas, you will get support.
The Xiandenshishi are elite soldiers who are invincible on the battlefield. Ju Yi is confident that he can lead the Xiandenshishi to obtain more achievements on the battlefield. This is better than Yuan Shao's subordinates who rely on the monarch's personal preferences to judge the generals' merits.
Status is more inspiring. When he saw this system, Ju Yi realized that his opportunity had come.
A weapon forged by hundreds of steel refiners, even after Ju Yi heard Lu Bu's words, he couldn't help but marvel at Lu Bu's courage. Once he has more powerful equipment, the Xiandenshishi will become even more powerful on the battlefield.
exist.
Ordinarily, with Lu Bu's status, he would only need to send a general to complete such a matter. However, Ju Yi did not expect that Lu Bu would choose to stay in person. This also made Ju Yi understand why the people would treat Lu Bu.
So fanatical.
