This was what Zhang Chu had written in his diary. If Lu Bu wanted to take complete control of the Bingzhou Army, other than leading them to victory, he had to give them enough benefits.
Furthermore, he had to maintain a good relationship with his subordinates. He had to be both kind and threatening. This was also something Zhang Chu had written in his diary.
In the past, Lu Bu didn't know about this. He only relied on his instincts and personality to take care of it.
It was different now. Zhang Chu had taught him how to do it in his diary.
This allowed Lu Bu to complete a process of self-learning and self-improvement.
"Thank you, Commandant Qi! We swear to die for Commandant Qi!"
When the generals of the Bingzhou Army received the gold from Lu Bu, they were both surprised and happy.
One had to know that it was difficult for them to obtain such benefits when they followed Ding Yuan in the past.
They hadn't expected that they would receive such benefits after following Lu Bu. This made their support for Lu Bu grow even deeper.
Only by following such a general would they have a future and a path of wealth.
"Now that the Bingzhou Army has been reorganized, what should we do next? You guys help me think about it. Also, what should we do in Bingzhou? Then, we can discuss it together."
After communicating with these generals, Lu Bu called Gao Shun, Zhang Chu, and Ma Jun over for another private meeting.
This time, he didn't tell Zhang Chu about the arrangements in his diary. He only gave a rough idea of his own and then let Zhang Chu and Xi Zhicai perfect it.
Gao Shun had come because Zhang Chu felt that Gao Shun was very loyal and reliable. Moreover, he was able to do things. Therefore, Lu Bu paid special attention to Gao Shun and would give him the corresponding treatment.
As for whether Gao Shun was truly loyal, Lu Bu had never doubted it.
If his demon-like son-in-law could not judge a person, then a boorish man like him could not. Thus, Lu Bu had never thought about this problem.
Instead, he had absolute trust in Zhang Chu, because Zhang Chu's diary could not be faked. This was something that Lu Bu knew best.
Lu Bu didn't want Zhang Chu to know the contents of his diary. It would be more fun if he did.
Moreover, he was a martial artist himself. Without Zhang Chu's diary, he would not have thought of so many things.
Therefore, these brain-racking matters were left to Zhang Chu and the others to think about.
Lu Bu didn't say much about this meeting. The entire meeting was arranged by Zhang Chu and the opera prodigy. Occasionally, Ma Jun would write down his thoughts and Gao Shun would add some.
Late into the night, after all the plans had been finalized, Lu Bu gave the remaining gold to Xi Zhicai and Gao Shun. He told them to sneak back to Bingzhou and bring back half of the soldiers.
As for Luoyang, Lu Bu had asked Wei Xu for a portion of the scattered soldiers to supplement his Bingzhou Legion, leaving only half of the elites.
Although the Bingzhou Legion didn't seem to have lost many people, their strength had indeed dropped.
This was not a big problem for the Bingzhou Legion.
Because they had already joined Dong Zhuo, there wouldn't be any disputes for the time being.
Relatively speaking, Bing Province was more important. Without enough troops, they couldn't wipe out the White Bandits and Black Mountain Bandits, nor could they stop the Outsiders.
When Gao Shun and the rest arrived at Bing Province, they would gather the soldiers that Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao had recruited and send them back to Luoyang.
As for Bingzhou, he would leave it to Gao Shun and Xi Zhicai.
Zhang Chu was not worried that Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao would have any ulterior motives.
If Lu Bu became their leader, they wouldn't have any objections if he asked them to come to Luoyang.
Otherwise, if they were to stay in Bingzhou, Zhang Liao would be fine, but Zhang Yang would be in trouble.
After all this, August was over and it was September.
This was a rare period of leisure for the Bingzhou Army.
They didn't have to confront the Western Liang army or do anything. After eating their fill, they would continue training.
As for Lu Bu, he would report to Dong Zhuo every day, attend court, and do some seemingly meaningless things in Luoyang.
For example, he would take out some books from the aristocratic families and gentry clans that Dong Zhuo had eliminated, and then capture a few people to work for the Bingzhou Army.
He would either form a relationship with the generals of Western Liang or treat people to a meal at the Carefree Restaurant from time to time, greatly expanding the reputation of the restaurant and rapidly increasing its income.
To Zhang Chu's surprise, Xun Yu and Xun You did not leave Luoyang this time. Instead, they were forcefully recruited by Lu Bu to assist Zhang Chu.
After confirming these two fellows, Zhang Chu couldn't help but laugh.
Previously, he had thought that it would be difficult to convince Xun Yu and Xun You to work for the Bingzhou Army. He did not expect Lu Bu to be so direct and send troops to capture the two of them. This was interesting.
He never thought that his father-in-law would have such a moment. This was far beyond Zhang Chu's expectations.
However, Zhang Chu was unsure if he knew about their abilities or if he was just a blind cat who had encountered a dead mouse. Zhang Chu was unable to confirm this for the time being.
When Lu Bu handed them over to him, he only said that the two of them had resigned and wanted to run out of Luoyang, but he caught them.
It just so happened that Bing Province needed some scholars, so he pulled them over.
