Chapter five hundred and eighty plunder
"Haha, lord Liu Bei knows you very well!" Zhang Liao, who was next to him, said to Lu Bu with a strange expression.
Lu Bu did not answer immediately. He looked back at the territory of Yuzhou and couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Fight!" The war horse under his crotch slapped and ran.
Zhang Liao also looked at the lord in front of him and couldn't help but smile and shook his head. Liu Bei was really familiar with his lord. He knew Lu Bu's temper. He was a person who cares about the consequences. As long as he felt comfortable, he would not care about other people's ideas. Although Lu Bu's personality made these heroes and treacherous heroes disdain because a small unbearable situation would cause big plans, because only by enduring what ordinary people could not tolerate can he do what ordinary people could not do.
But it has to be said that Liu Bei and Cao Cao were really afraid that such a Lu Bu would make Lu Bu angry, so that they would suffer. This is what is called the so-called strong people are afraid of being arrogant, and the arrogant people are afraid of being desperate.
Lu Bu's letter made Liu Bei really obedient. If Lu Bu really messed up, would his Runan City still want him? So Liu Bei was afraid and felt guilty. In order to make Uncle Lu happy, he also reassured that he actually opened the gates of Runan City. This is to tell Lu Bu that I have no idea to stop you, so you can leave.
It is also a strange thing to be able to rob the city and let others leave, but what can Liu Bei do? He has no choice but to be beaten passively and smile.
"Will Liu Bei cry if he knows that his lord has changed?" Lu Bu's civil and military officials really wanted to know that if Liu Bei knew that Lu Bu was no longer the second fool who ignored everything, he would think so. He is also worried now. The letter he wrote to Liu Bei is actually mostly intimidating. If Liu Bei really sent troops to intercept him, then Lu Bu would definitely leave these people in Yuzhou.
In the palace of the Ruan Prefecture of Yuzhou.
Liu Bei had already taken his family back. Because he knew that Runan was no longer in danger, at least it would be safe for the time being.
Liu Bei walked around the mansion, and the remaining Mrs. Gan next to him looked at his husband's uneasy look and didn't know how to comfort him.
Finally, there was a movement outside the mansion. It turned out that it was Guan Yu. Guan Yu got off the war horse and sent the war horse to the guards holding the horse next to him and walked actively and earnestly towards the mansion.
"Brother!" Guan Yu saw Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also greeted him.
"Brother, this Yangzhou army is too uncharacteristic!" Guan Yu's face looked very bad, which shocked Liu Bei.
"Second brother said slowly!"
"Brother, you don't know. This radius of hundreds of miles is basically empty. I'm afraid the whole of Yuzhou is probably." Guan Yu was a little reluctant to speak. He rode alone. Yangzhou was doing very thoroughly along the way. Ninety-ten rooms are empty, and basically all the people have been moved by him. Only those who really couldn't run were left with food and grass.
Now the people who are truly confident in Runan are the people in Runan City, and the other people have been taken away by the Yangzhou army.
"I understand!" Liu Bei knew it was not good. But he didn't expect it to be so bad. This was completely a sweeping. How many people can be found in Runan City, it's only 80,000 people.
"The people in this area of four continents seem to have been bewitched by the Yangzhou army. They only care about the immediate interests but couldn't imagine how much hardship and fatigue my elder brother suffered for them." Guan Yu was a little angry, especially those people in the Dingcheng. Most of them came from Xuzhou. It was Liu Bei who was pitying and then rescued them from the clutches of Cao Cao in Xuzhou. Now they abandoned their elder brother one by one.
"Second brother, stop talking!" Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "The way he led the people from Xuzhou was just to prevent Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry from chasing. Do you really think Liu Bei is so kind. With these people, Liu Bei would have escaped with Bai'er and Chongjia. Otherwise, he would have been chased by Cao Cao long ago. Only by hiding among the people can Cao Cao be scruples and dare not start a big killing."
"Report, report to the lord!" Just when Liu Bei was worried, the messenger came over and half-kneeled towards Liu Bei.
"What's the matter?" Liu Bei asked with a frown.
"Report to the lord, thousands of people came from outside the city, and wanted to ask the lord to take in." The messenger said to the lord Liu Bei.
"Thousands of people?" Liu Bei and Guan Yu were both stunned. Guan Yu next to him laughed. "Hmph, no one is the people who have some conscience. I know that the eldest brother is the one who saves them. What is the future of leaving with the slave of the three surnames? He will inevitably become a hungry person."
"Brother, there will be no fraud in this!" Guan Yu was a little confused. Will the Lu Bu army be so kind to leave these thousands of people, or did these thousands of people come from other places?
"Huh? Let's go and see!" Thousands of people still need Liu Bei to go out in person at this scale. Liu Bei's face also showed joy, which means he is still heartfelt. Although he does not have hundreds of thousands of people, thousands are also meat, and no matter how small the insects are, they can eat them.
Liu Bei went out with a smile, but after going out to see the people at the city gate, his face completely stinked.
It’s not that these thousands of people are fake, but they are all honest people, but they seem to be a little older, all of whom are in their seventies or eighties or are just some wounded soldiers who are missing their arms and legs, who are forcibly discharged from the army by Liu Bei.
"Are you really a good person, a good person!" Liu Bei's face was really ashen.
This Lu Bu not only took away the people of Yuzhou, but also packed the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people to him, Liu Bei, and sent them directly.
"Master, Master, Uncle Liu, open the door, open the door, let's go in!" The people under the city were slapping the city gate there. Because there were thousands of people, the city gate captain was afraid that there would be spies among them, so he closed the city gate.
"Brother, are we going to open the city gate?" Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei and told the truth. Guan Yu was also very angry. He could see that the thousands of people under the city were not the people. They were completely burdens. These old, weak, sick and disabled people were not only unable to be in power or open up land. Instead, they needed food to support them. Guan Yu knew that the city gate could not be opened, but he couldn't bear to leave these people.
Open the city gate? After opening the city gate, the thousands of people asked him to support him. He still had 30,000 troops in Runan City to support him. How much food and grass does Liu Bei have? These people are not able to work, they just want to eat. But if they don’t open the city gate, they will be ruined.
There are not many packages on these thousands of people, and at most they only have a few days of food. If these thousands of people starve to death under the city gate of Runan, Liu Bei will be completely unfair.
Liu Bei was struggling, and the people below shouted loudly, "Mr. Liu Jingzhou, it's okay to open the door. We have served as soldiers for you and worked hard. Lord, please open the door!" This weather will freeze to death in the wilderness.
"The main kilometer surface also seems to have our retired wounded soldiers!" Some soldiers were sharp-eyed and really discovered some of their former robes.
OK! Not only are the elderly and weak, but even the sick and disabled, but those who are able to withdraw from the army by Liu Bei, a stingy man, must be some people who can no longer fight, otherwise they would have been used by Liu Bei to enrich the army long ago.
"Open the city gate!" Liu Bei thought for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying this.
"Lord, these burdens have been opened by the city gate. No, no, where are these people putting them?" A bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled, you can't let him go into the city and just put them there. At least arrange for them food and houses. And some old people have to send someone to take care of them, otherwise once they are magnified, they will be unkind and righteous.
"Besides the food and grass in the city?" The city gate captain means that there is not much food and grass in the city, so he simply won't open the city gate.
"I didn't hear what I said! Open the city gate." Liu Bei shouted loudly.
"Yes, yes!" Seeing his lord angry, his proposal was kind-hearted and he did not dare to say anything more. He waved his hand and let his subordinates open the city gate and let these people enter one by one.
Liu Bei also wanted to prevent these people from entering the city, but he could not do this in public. There were so many soldiers watching, especially the once wounded soldiers inside. If this was done too much, the people and the army would be dispersed.
So Liu Bei naturally wanted to let these people enter the city. He was determined to suffer losses and could only endure it.
"Where did Gongyou's envoy go?" Liu Bei asked his subordinates next to him.
"According to the time, I should have passed Yuzhou and entered the Yangtze River. I will be in Xinye Generation."
"Okay! I hope Gongyou will gain something in this trip!" Liu Bei has now relied on Sun Qian to photograph the envoy from Jingzhou. If he succeeded, Liu Bei would not lack food and grass. Naturally, these thousands of elderly, weak, sick and disabled are not a problem, but if there weren't, then he would not be blamed for Liu Bei.
Lu Bu's army retreated in an orderly manner. Although he could not take Yuzhou, Lu Bu learned his lessons this time and was rampant from Yuzhou. With a population of 700,000, Lu Bu brought at least 400,000 back.
In addition to being recruited by Liu Bei, the remaining 300,000 people were also destroyed in Nandun City. Cao Cao also took away a lot of them. Now Liu Bei has only 30,000 soldiers and 80,000 people left, and the city is only Runan, and other places have basically become ruins.
No matter how powerful Liu Bei was, he would only be able to survive at most 50,000 troops, and Liu Bei would no longer have a great threat.
I just waited for the crisis in Lujiang to calm down before I got back to Yuzhou.
Xu Shu was very busy in Shouchun, with a population of 400,000. It took a lot of time to arrange accommodation and household registration statistics. Fortunately, Yangzhou is not short of food and grass now, otherwise, the 400,000 would really not be able to afford it.
Lu Bu's army was heading towards Lujiang without stopping. The city management army gathered towards Xinye. When it really started fighting, Lu Bu's army was ready to attack the land of Jingzhou and let them hand over the King of Shu Liu Mang. The war in the Jiangnan area continued again.
And our King of Shu Liu Mang and Liu Hanyang are still a savage among the mountains and ridges. (To be continued, please search Piao Tianwen, the novel is better and faster!
