In ancient times, news spread slowly.
However, half a month had already passed by the time the news spread!
Mount Liang was located at the junction of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and it was also the Shandong of the later generations. Not to mention that the people here liked to be chivalrous and were famous for their heroes!
Therefore, after the fame of Liangshan was spread, many people were prepared to go to Liangshan to join the army.
In this way, in a short period of time, Liangshan accepted nearly ten thousand people, including three to four thousand men and more than seven thousand women, children, and the elderly.
Liu Yu accepted all of these people. He had a lot of rations anyway.
Besides, if Liang Mountain wanted to be self-sufficient, it naturally had to have a large population. They couldn't possibly have soldiers build houses every day!
Only when the population flourished would the soldiers of Liangshan be able to concentrate on training and hand over all the trivial matters to the people.
In a short month, the Liangshan army had 15,000 soldiers and nearly 20,000 civilians!
Among them, Leopard Head Lin Chong was in charge of the selection and training of the soldiers, which was equivalent to the head instructor of Liangshan.
Dian Wei and Xiong Kuohai selected five hundred elite soldiers to be Liu Yu's personal guards. The two of them were the leaders of Liu Yu's personal guards and were responsible for Liu Yu's safety.
As for Huyan Zhuo, he was training his chain horse.
It was really not enough to train a chain horse with heavy armor. Therefore, he was only given hundreds of elite cavalry at the moment. When the cavalry expanded in the future, he would expand it.
As for Qin Ming, Guan Sheng, and Dong Ping, they trained the nearly ten thousand foot soldiers in hopes of increasing their battle strength.
The navy was under the command of Li Jun, the River Dragon. Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng were in charge of the affairs of Liangshan. Anyone who entered or left Liangshan needed the navy to confirm their identity.
Under the arrangement of Liu Yu and the others, Liangshan grew stronger and stronger. It even gained a great reputation in Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and other places.
Furthermore, Liu Yu's name gradually spread to the Si Li region, Luoyang City!
……
On the other side, when Lu Bu returned to Shangdang County with a few hundred remaining soldiers, his face was filled with unwillingness.
In this battle, it could be said that he originally had a complete advantage. If it wasn't for Liu Yu's words that caused discord between the generals, and the addition of Xiong Kuohai!
Otherwise, with Lu Bu's martial arts, if he continued to fight, Dong Ping, Qin Ming, and the others would not be able to stop him. They would definitely be killed by him.
With that, only Dian Wei and the others would not be able to stop them. At that time, he would take advantage of the situation and lead the army to attack. How could he lose?
Thinking of this, Lu Bu felt a sense of melancholy. He had been ambitious and had wanted to imitate Wei Huo in pacifying the Western Regions. In the end, he had led 3,000 elite cavalry and was defeated by a group of bandits!
If word of this got out, he, Lu Bu, would become a laughing stock.
Moreover, before he left for the expedition, he had vowed that he would bring back Liu Yu's head. But now?
If Ding Yuan knew, he would probably…
As expected, whatever he feared would come. Lu Bu was afraid that Ding Yuan would blame him for his defeat, so he stayed in Shangdang.
The Shangdang prefect sent someone to report to Lu Bu that Ding Yuan, the Ding Biejia, had personally come to Shangdang!
Upon hearing this, Lu Bu, who was still drunk, instantly woke up. Just as he was about to stand up, a scolding voice came from outside the door.
"Motherf * cker, where is that bastard Lu Bu?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open. Ding Yuan rushed in with a livid expression. When he saw Lu Bu drinking, he was even angrier.
"You brat, you didn't report back quickly after the defeat. You actually stayed in Shangdang and even dared to drink!”
At this point, Ding Yuan pulled out the sword at his waist, as if he wanted to chop Lu Bu alive.
When Lu Bu saw this, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. However, Ding Yuan was his superior, and it was a fact that he had been defeated.
Therefore, he did not resist!
However, just as the sword was about to fall, a general behind him said to Ding Yuan.
"Ding Biejia, General Fengxian's martial arts are very strong. For a single defeat, he killed his capable subordinates.”
After hearing this, Ding Yuan's sword stopped at Lu Bu's neck, as if he was moved by his subordinate's words, or perhaps he really pitied Lu Bu's bravery.
After which, Ding Yuan withdrew his sword and said angrily.
"Forget it, forget it. If it weren't for Wen Yuan pleading for you, I would have let this matter go. Otherwise, you would have suffered!”
At this point, Ding Yuan sighed helplessly and looked at Lu Bu with bright eyes.
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Bu, he understood that Lu Bu's martial arts were truly rare. If that was the case, then what kind of monster was Liu Yu, who could defeat Lu Bu?
Of course, if Ding Yuan wanted to control the Bing Province army, he would need Lu Bu's courage. Thus, the cracks that had appeared before had to be repaired.
Thus, Ding Yuan looked at Lu Bu with disappointment.
" Although you lost this battle, I, Ding Yuan, am not an untrustworthy person. From today onwards, you are my adopted son. From now on, the Bing Province Army will be handed over to you…"
