The next morning, the sky was still dark. Lu Bu brought Zhao Yun to the camp to watch the training of the cavalry and infantry.
Satisfied, he praised a few outstanding soldiers and promoted them to squad leaders. Then, he brought Zhao Yun to the central tent.
After a while, Zhang Liao, Hao Meng, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng arrived in the tent.
The forthright Hao Meng bowed and said loudly,""General, this training method is really useful. My men are almost as good as General Gao's Breaking Ranks Camp.”
The training method that Lu Bu had given them was also something that he had pieced together from the computer. It was to divide the army into units according to the platoon and company. Every 5 people were in a squad, 10 squads formed a platoon, 5 platoons formed a company, and 4 companies formed a battalion. In this way, each battalion had 1000 people. After this division, the troops would be able to move as they wished. Then there was the training method. Other than running with weights, strength training, duos, and teamwork between classes, he also added field training.
This kind of training was much crueler than the soldiers 'training in the past. However, the effect was also very obvious. These ten thousand soldiers were superior to the ferocious Western Liang soldiers.
Without waiting for Lu Bu to reply, Hou Cheng asked carefully,""General, should we try to rope in the Bing Province Army?”
Lu Bu's troops only had 5000 cavalry and 5000 infantry. Among the 5000 infantrymen, there were 1000 people in the logistics unit. Therefore, other than Zhang Liao, the other four generals only had 1,000 men each.
Back then, after Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan, he didn't try to rope in the 50,000 Ding Yuan subordinates. In the end, Dong Zhuo had put them under his command. Li Ru even deliberately went to sow discord, pushing Ding Yuan's death onto Lu Bu.
When Lu Bu realized that he was the General with the least soldiers in Dong Zhuo's army, he turned around and tried to rope in the Bingzhou Faction, but they rejected him without hesitation. The proud Lu Bu naturally didn't bother to put in a good word for them. He immediately stood up and left.
During this period of time, the Bingzhou Army did not have a good life. They were not Dong Zhuo's direct descendants, and they did not know the high-ranking officials in Luoyang, so the supply of grain was naturally intermittent. It was said that when the dukes raised their troops, they would have to be the vanguard to resist. After all, they were surrendered soldiers. The issue of loyalty was worth considering.
That was why Hou Cheng asked.
"No, no one can go. Even if they come, you can't agree.”Lu Bu immediately raised his voice." Right now, Luoyang City is already in a state of panic. We can't be the first to stand out. We must keep a low profile. During this period of time, you are not allowed to leave the camp. Don't cause trouble.”
"Yes, General." The five of them had also vaguely heard some rumors and knew that the situation was rather tense. They answered together.
"When the war starts, I will take Zhang Liao's cavalry and leave. All of you will enter Luoyang City directly and wait for Zhao Yun's arrangements.”As he spoke, he pushed Zhao Yun out from behind him.
Looking at this young gigolo, the four seasoned soldiers were naturally a little unwilling and did not answer. Even Zhao Yun himself was shocked. He had never been a soldier, so how could he be a general?
"What?" Lu Bu glared at him and asked. Unconvinced? Don't think that he's easy to bully just because he's young. The four of you can't beat him even if you attack him together.”
What Lu Bu said was the truth. Although Zhao Yun was still young and her spear techniques were still lacking, it was still very easy for her to deal with the four of them.
The four generals were shocked and immediately said,""Yes, I will."
"Zhao Yun, from today onwards, you will be learning from Zhang Liao. When the time comes, I'll arrange for someone to teach you what to do.”Lu Bu patted Zhao Yun's shoulder.
Zhao Yun was touched. She hadn't thought that Lu Bu would make her a general the moment she joined him. She didn't know what to say. He immediately crossed his arms and knelt on one knee."General, don't worry. I won't disappoint you.”
"Quickly get up." Lu Bu quickly helped him up and said,""Just work hard here. If they openly agree but secretly disobey, just drag them to the martial arts competition and beat them until they are convinced.”
With that, the atmosphere eased up and everyone laughed. The four generals immediately expressed that they would follow Zhao Yun's orders.
Seeing that everything had been arranged, Lu Bu prepared to leave. Zhang Liao was a person who knew the big picture. When he understood Zhao Yun's ability, he would definitely help him. As for Hao Meng's four generals, Zhao Yun could easily deal with them even if they made some small moves.
After entering the city, Lu Bu flew towards the Imperial Palace on horseback, but on the way, he unexpectedly ran into Cai Yong's carriage.
It seemed that he had just left court. Looking at the Western Liang cavalrymen surrounding his carriage, Lu Bu wisely chose to dodge. However, although Cai Yong was old, he had a very good eye.
Lu Bu was about to turn his horse around and turn into the alley. "General Lu, long time no see." Would you like to come to my house for a chat?”
This stinky old man was clearly trying to drag him down with him. Didn't he know that he was being isolated for investigation? You even want to smear yellow mud on my body. Lu Bu cursed in his heart before riding his horse forward.
"Minister, we haven't seen each other for a month. Is there anything I can help you with?" Lu Bu stopped a horse away from the carriage and said loudly to Cai Yong.
As expected of a little fox. It seemed that he had his own motives. Cai Yong glanced at the surrounding "guards" who were listening to him and said helplessly,"Last time, my daughter was seriously ill and couldn't meet you. It was a bit of a pity, but now that she has recovered, please come to the residence to see her.”
"Hehe, it's really unfortunate that Bu still has to patrol the palace today and can't get away. Minister, I will visit you another day.”He definitely couldn't " chat " with him now, or else he would never be able to clear his name. Lu Bu immediately rejected his invitation.
"Oh? That was really unfortunate. Then let's do it another day. I'll make a move first." Cai Yong couldn't force Lu Bu anymore, so he could only follow his words. After saying that. After urging the coachman, the carriage slowly started moving again.
Lu Bu watched Cai Yong's carriage leave and thought to himself," Don't worry, future father-in-law, I will definitely help you get rid of Dong Zhuo.
After arriving at the Imperial Palace, Lu Bu followed Gao Shun and patrolled the various corners of the Imperial Palace before pulling Gao Shun to his temporary resting place.
After dismissing the guards, Lu Bu drank the tea in his cup and said slowly,""After seeing the arrangement of the guards, I know that you have put in a lot of effort. However, there was still something wrong with Gao Shun.”
"General, if there is any problem, I will immediately send more people.”The moment Gao Shun heard, he immediately stood up.
"Sit down, sit down." Lu Bu waved his hand and said,""It's not a matter of safety. It's the arrangement of manpower. You see, we can't control those 3,000 people. It's not reasonable for you to send them to guard the inner city.”
"Why?" Gao Shun was puzzled. In this kind of place, he could only be at ease by using his own people.
"You see, the entire Luoyang is now under Dong Zhuo's control. Even if he wanted to cripple the Emperor, he could do it with a single word. Only he has the ability to do so. Now, we have placed our own people by the emperor's side. Who are we guarding against? I know that you really want to do your job well, but in the eyes of others, this will become something we can use against you.”Lu Bu explained.
"Then I'll go and change them now.”Gao Shun was shocked and hurriedly said.
"Right, transfer those 3000 people into the palace and let them arrange their own rotation. We will arrange 500 people at the inner city gate and the four walls of the palace. The rest will be rotated. This would also eliminate their doubts.”
"Yes, General." Gao Shun stood up and cupped his fists.
"Also, the most important thing is that if anything happens to Prince Hongnong, you must not ask, remember?”Before leaving, Lu Bu suddenly thought of something and whispered to Gao Shun.
"What is it? "General, this, this…" Gao Shun was shocked in his heart and could not even speak.
"There are no two suns in the sky and no two masters in the people. After Dong Zhu dies, what do you think will happen to these two emperors? If he was used by someone with ulterior motives, then the burly man would split up.”Although Lu Bu didn't mind this, the people were the ones suffering in the chaos. It was worth it to save the people of the world from fire and water with the death of King Hongnong.
"I know what to do. General, don't worry.”Gao Shun thought of the common people in the world and agreed.
"Remember, when you move the capital to Chang 'an, you must bring all the ancient books in the palace with you. You must also help Hao Meng protect the craftsmen and merchants, as well as the people who are moving to Chang' an.”
"Yes, General."
Lu Bu patted Gao Shun's shoulder and left, feeling assured.
In an inconspicuous restaurant in the western part of the city, Lu Bu had come here after leaving the Imperial Palace. He had already contacted Jia Xu to meet him here at noon.
They arrived at the single room that had already been booked. Jia Xu had already ordered the dishes and was drinking.
"Sir, you're in a good mood." The moment Lu Bu entered, he saw Jia Xu pouring wine.
"General, you have gained quite a lot from this trip." Jia Xu smiled and picked up the small wine bowl that he had prepared earlier. He rinsed it in warm water and poured a bowl of warm wine for him.
Lu Bu placed the cloak on the shelf by the wall and warmed his hands with the warm wine before he finished the wine. He took a long breath of the cold air forced by the hot wine before pouring the wine and saying,"Hehe, not bad indeed. You recruited two generals and the richest family in Hebei, the Zhen family. There was also Chen Gong, who was also a quick-witted person.”
"Oh? Congratulations, General. However, has the general made all the necessary arrangements in Luoyang? This was the key to his future development. A million people was a terrifying number no matter where they went.”Jia Xu suggested.
To put it bluntly, this battle was fought for benefits. If they wanted to obtain the greatest benefits in this chaotic battle, they had to prepare in advance.
"Mhm, once we send out our troops, my men will enter the city. At that time, he would leave everything to Mister.”Lu Bu took out a jade pendant and handed it to Jia Xu." In the next two days, I'll bring you to meet the two trusted generals in Luoyang. At that time, they will all listen to your commands."”
"Alright, then I won't decline. General, don't worry, just leave the rear to me.”Jia Xu raised his wine cup and saluted Lu Bu.
A wise man would die for his bosom friend. Although the two of them did not have that kind of relationship, they were still able to attract each other.
"Come, cheers." Lu Bu clinked wine glasses with him and drank to his heart's content. After drinking, the two of them laughed together.
He chatted with Jia Xu all the way until it was dark before the two of them left one after another.
On the way home, Lu Bu was very excited. He had been here for so long, but he had never had a heart-to-heart with anyone. He was afraid that he would get sick from holding it in. Now, as long as Jia Xu had the strength, he would not betray you. Moreover, he was indifferent and tight-lipped, so he was not afraid of revealing any secrets.
On the way home, he was not in a hurry to sleep. He pulled Dian Wei to the martial arts practice field in the backyard and fought with him for two hours until Dian Wei shouted for mercy for a long time.
Counting the time, the dukes should be starting to raise their armies in the next few days. After that, Hwa Xiong stepped out, and then Dong Zhuo personally led the army.
There were still a few days of rest. If he had nothing to do, he would practice with Dian Wei. It was really cool to have the generals of the Three Kingdoms accompany him in martial arts.
