Chapter 65 Xuzhou Changes Owners
The Battle of Bagong Mountain was over, Chen Lan Leibu was killed on the spot, and Chen Lan's army was also incorporated. The Chen Lan army, with more than 10,000 people, was left in the end with less than 1,000 people. The Yuzhou cavalry came and only 800 left with injuries. If they hadn't been quick, they might have been left by Lu Bu's army.
Only less than two thousand baggage battalions were left, half of the city management troops were killed, and the entire guard camp was destroyed.
"Lord, is Han Yang really okay?!" Chen Gong frowned and said. Liu Mang had been kneeling in front of the pile of corpses for most of the day, without saying a word or saying a word.
Lu Bu also followed Chen Gong's pointing and sighed, "Let him go!" Chen Gong is not a general, he has never experienced the pain of bidding farewell to the battlefield. Lu Bu tried. From the beginning of his army to the present, how many brothers and personal guards died to protect him, and how many people who had fought side by side can no longer be seen.
"Yes!" Chen Gong nodded and did not say anything about this. Instead, he took out an account book. "The treasures and foods counted out from Bagong Mountain, lord will see them!" Bagong Mountain had been captured and Chen Lan died. The Bagong Mountain had become a homeless land, so all the wealth that Chen Lan had hidden had become Lu Bu's spoils.
"So many?" Lu Bu picked up the account book. He thought that Chen Lan would only be about 10,000 stones after leaving Yuan Shu, but who would have thought that there would be so many.
Gold alone is as much as ten thousand gold, not counting jewelry and jade, and food and grass are about 15,000 stones. The account book in Lu Bu's hand has been loaded on a carriage, with more than thirty carriages of treasure.
"Chen Lan Leibu is just a general of Yuan Shu, so there will be so many?!" Even if Chen Lan Leibu robbed Yuan Shu, there should be only food and grass. Where did these gold and jade come from? Lu Bu was the leader of a state, and even in such a wealthy place in Xuzhou, Lu Bu had never seen so many gold and jade.
"Lord!" Chen Gong shook his head, "That 10,000 stones of food was indeed stolen by Yuan Shu, and the other gold and jade were accumulated by their king Chen Lan Lei Chu!"
"Yuan Highway is so generous?" Chen Lan Leibu was originally just Yuan Shu's general. If he had such savings, how generous would Yuan Shu have to be able to reward so much? Moreover, Lu Bu also knew that Chen Lan Leibu and his two men had a cavalry unit of 2,000 people. He could raise 2,000 infantry if he could raise 2,000 cavalry. He was definitely a rich man with such strength.
"It's not that Yuan Gonglu is generous, but that the Yuan family's soldiers can catch them and dare to take them all!" Chen Gong said as he spoke out, "Chen Lan alone can be worthy of the wealth of a state. Even if Yuan Gonglu occupies the two states of Yuyang, it is impossible to reward his subordinates so generously! Do you know why Huainan is so sparse? In addition to the wars every year, there are also heavy taxes. I asked a commoner, and Yuan Gonglu had already received taxes ten years later! People can't even save a ration at home!"
"Yuan Gonglu is really like this?" Lu Bu himself thought he was not a good prince because he had been in a military state. Xuzhou had never rested under his command, and the people could only barely survive. Compared with Yuan Gonglu, Lu Bu was really the wise ruler. Yuan Gonglu could no longer survive. He was first scraped off a layer of people's wealth and ointment by Yuan Gonglu, and then scraped off a layer of people by these subordinates. It can be said that what they scraped off was the flesh and blood of the people.
"Yuan Gonglu, Yuan Gonglu is useless of his reputation as the three masters of four generations!" Those who are in trouble the world are princes, and many of the princes have children from aristocratic families. All the virtues left by their ancestors will be used up by this generation.
"The public station took out the ten thousand stones that Chen Lan had robbed from the grain and grass, and sent them to Yuan Highway in Shouchun!" Lu Bu said.
"Lord, you?!" Chen Gong didn't understand. These food and grass were exchanged for Lu Bu's military's life. Now they want to send it to Yuan Shu?
"Chen Lan robbed Yuan Highway 10,000 stones of grain and grass. These should be used by Yuan Shu to support the army!" Lu Bu said calmly, "It became a problem for Yuan Highway to support the army. But that's it. He also borrowed me, Lu Fengxian, five thousand stones. This favor must be returned!"
"But we have helped him destroy Chen Lan Leizhu!" The five thousand stones of grain were paid for Chen Lan Leizhu in Bagong Mountain.
Now that Chen Lan Lei Chu is dead, the things that have been killed will naturally belong to Lu Bu’s army.
"I don't like what I owe to others on the official platform! I have decided to do it!" After saying that, Lu Bu left. In fact, Lu Bu didn't say anything. Yuan Shu was short of food and grass and would definitely not be able to starve to death while standing there! He needed to find food and grass. There was no other force except Bagong Mountain in this radius of 100 miles, and the only thing left was the people! He could no longer survive. If Yuan Shu was plundered, he would really not be able to live.
Giving Yuan Shu food and grass was also to make him less harm to the people.
Chen Gong was a little unwilling to accept it, but there was no way. Once Lu Bu sat down, he decided that no one could change his mind. Chen Gong was about to ask the soldiers to count 10,000 stones of food and grass to Yuan Shu in Shouchun.
The arrival of a messenger made Chen Gong's expression change very much.
"What? You said Yuan Gaolu had left Shouchun?!" Lu Bu was a little disbelief. It was only a few days before the army left.
"Where did you go?!" Chen Gong asked about the purpose.
"I heard it was heading to Hebei!"
"Go to Hebei? What about Yuan Shao?" Lu Bu gradually understood that after Yuan Shu was defeated by Cao Cao, Yuzhou was occupied and Yangzhou was also dilapidated. He could not stay in the place at all. Staying here was just waiting to die. So Yuan Shu thought of his cheap brother Yuan Shao. Yuan Shu had never left before, so he was probably Chen Lan Lei Bu and the other two of them delayed!
Now that Lu Bu has started to deal with Chen Lan Leipu, Yuan Shu seized the opportunity to start the broadcast and leave.
"Isn't Cao Mengde here in Xuzhou?" Lu Bu received the news that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had already stationed troops in Guandu, and a battle might start at any time. Xuzhou has been occupied by Cao Cao. Will Cao Cao be so kind to let Yuan Shu go to Hebei?
"Lord, lord! In addition to bringing news that Yuan Gaolu has left, he also brought us two other news!" Chen Gong returned.
“The other two?!”
"Well! The first one is that the current Lord of Xuzhou is no longer Cao Mengde!" Chen Gong said.
"It's not Cao Mengde?" Lu Bu said in surprise, "Did Yuan Shao attack from Qingzhou to Xuzhou?!" Xuzhou is a place of four battles. In addition to Cao Cao's Yanzhou who can send troops directly to the three states of Qingzhou, Yangzhou and Yuzhou can reach it!
Yuzhou is also in the hands of Lao Cao. Yuan Shu in Yangzhou is unable to protect himself, so there is only Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Yuan Shao from Qingzhou.
"It's not Yuan Tan either!" Chen Gong shook his head, "It's someone you can't guess at, lord!"
"I can't guess!" Lu Bu really wanted to see who could steal food from Cao Cao's hands.
"Liu Bei! Liu Xuande!" Chen Gong said something and said Lu Bu was surprised.
The name of the person comes.
"Liu Daer?!" Lu Bu clearly remembered that Xuzhou was taken away by himself after being given to Liu Bei by Tao Qian. Liu Bei hated him for not being single-minded. He could even surrender to Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou. But isn't Liu Bei's relationship with Cao Cao now? Cao Mengde always called Liu Bei a virtuous brother, "Didn't Liu Bei surrender to Cao Cao?"!"
"It's not surrender, it's just lurking!" Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu with complicated eyes. In fact, Liu Bei and Lu Bu were very similar. Although Lu Bu was said to be a slave of the three surnames, because he betrayed the three lords, Liu Bei was not the same! From the Yellow Turbans, to the disciple Lu Zhi, to Gongsun Zan in Beitou, and to Tao Qian, it can be said that everyone who was surrendered by Liu Bei had no good ending, and Liu Bei also abandoned them very early.
The only difference between Liu Bei and Lu Bu is that Lu Bu killed the boss by himself, while Liu Bei slowly lurked and subtly let his boss be killed.
Later, the two of them formed a meeting. Lu Bu first surrendered to Liu Bei, almost killing Liu Bei and taking Liu Bei's Xuzhou. After the trouble, Liu Bei accepted the defeat and surrendered to Lu Bu. He lurked and brought Lao Cao to fight Lu Bu and almost killed Lu Bu in Baimen Tower.
Now that Lu Bu has left, Liu Bei has tried his best to become independent after killing Che Wei, the governor of Xuzhou sent by Lao Cao.
"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande!" Lu Bu's expression was also complicated. He took Liu Bei's Xuzhou and was driven out by Cao Cao. In the end, Xuzhou was actually in Liu Bei's hands again. It has to be said that luck made people useless.
Xuzhou belongs to Liu Bei, and it should be impossible for Liu Bei to block Yuan Shu's path.
"What about the second news!" Yuan Shu also brought a message.
"There is another news that Liu Pi from Runan surrendered Yuan Shao!" Chen Gong said.
"Runan Liu Pi surrendered Yuan Shao?!" Lu Bu frowned. Liu Bei won Xuzhou and Lu Bu had no such headache. After all, Xuzhou is no longer his. No matter who he grabs it, it has nothing to do with him. He also hopes that Liu Bei and Cao Cao will fight to the death in Xuzhou, which can give him a lot of time.
But now this news has a headache for Lu Bu. Runan is the only way they have to go to Xinye by land. Lu Bu and Yuan Shao have had a feud. Most of the reason why Lu Bu went to Yanzhou from Puyang to Yanzhou was to celebrate the feud with Yuan Shao.
Now Runan has been occupied by Yuan Shao! This is not easy to deal with. If you don’t take the land, you can only take the water route. Cross Jiangxia to Xinye! However, the water route is too risky, and Lu Bu himself is not familiar with water wars. Once something happens on the water, the entire army will be destroyed.
"My 10,000 stones of food and grass!" Chen Gong said something else that was unrelated when Lu Bu was still struggling.
"Let the food and grass be left in the army!" Lu Bu waved his hand and said.
"Yes!" After receiving Lu Bu's reply, Chen Gong smiled and replied, "Ten thousand stones of food are the food for the army for more than a month, so why would he bear to give it to Yuan Gaolu?
