I am the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 33
Chapter 33 The Runan War Continues
Between Wancheng and Wuguan,
millions of people,
Formed into a long black dragon, stretching for hundreds of miles!
The sound of horseshoes roared!
Five thousand Xiliang cavalry in iron armor holding spears, hips, bows and arrows guarded the people along the way to prevent anyone from escaping.

million people,

Support the old and the young,
Bring home.

composed of a mighty stream of people,
Can't see the edge.

Five thousand Xiliang cavalry followed the crowd on both sides of the stream,
That gleaming spear,
bow and arrow at the waist,
frightened the people,

Prevent the people from fleeing or causing chaos.

Millions of people cannot leave their homeland.

Not everyone wants to go to Chang'an.

It is even said that most people in Nanyang do not want to go to Chang'an!
If it weren't for the five thousand Xiliang cavalry and tens of thousands of foot soldiers guarding the road, how many people would have fled.

Even so, heart-piercing cries could be heard from time to time along the way.

The common people dragged their families and carried their rations and clothes on their backs, and followed the flow of people in front of them step by step, marching numbly towards Chang'an.

On the carts among the common people, there are pots, pans, chickens and ducks from each household.

Wei Yan forcibly confiscated millions of stones of grain and grass from Nanyang's aristocratic family, as well as thousands of bullocks, and countless chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep.

Naturally, these grain and livestock also went with the army.

And those horse-drawn carts among the common people are not just their belongings.

The most is food!

Lu Bu stood on a hill, looking indifferently at the relocated people.

At this time, any soft-heartedness will cause unnecessary losses.

The elders of each village will not cooperate with Lu Bu,

For those who do not cooperate,
Lu Bu will not be used to it either.

Xiliang cavalry will hunt out those who do not cooperate along the way,

Use their heads to frighten those with evil intentions.

On the one hand, it uses the bloody reality to tell the people what will happen if they don't cooperate.
On the other hand, it constantly promotes the fertile land of Chang'an, telling the people that when they go to Chang'an, everyone has a house and a field.

The big stick and the jujube were used together to drive the people to stagger towards Chang'an.

With millions of people and a distance of thousands of miles, this cannot be accomplished in a few days.

"Wen Chang, you take your troops as the pioneers of our army, enter Chang'an first, occupy the counties along the way, and clean up the local bandits. Surrender, kill!"

"Wen Yuan, take five thousand cavalry and keep an eye on Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. If he doesn't move, forget it. If he dares to move, kill him!"

"Dingfang, I will give you [-] soldiers to guard Cao Cao in the east in case he makes any changes."

Different strategies for different opponents.

The land of Guanlong has been barren,

There are many refugees and grassroots bandits,

If not pre-cleaned,
They will definitely harass and harass the relocated people and rob money, food and women.

So Lu Bu sent Wei Yan into Chang'an first, focusing on cleaning up these bandits and grassroots bandits, and occupied ten counties in Chang'an.

And Hanzhong Zhang Lu,
Although occupying Hanzhong,

There are no elite soldiers under his command,

It is not easy to hold Hanzhong.

If Zhang Lu dares to worry about Lu Bu's population,

Lu Bu directly ate Zhang Lu's Hanzhong!

As for Cao Cao,

Cao Cao has many fierce generals and sufficient armor.

Naturally, dealing with Cao Cao cannot be the same as dealing with Zhang Lu.

So Lu Bu asked Su Lie to lead [-] troops to guard Cao Cao.

After all, with a population of one million, Cao Cao is also greedy.

Actually,
Lu Bu was a little worried.

Because of Liu Bei right now,
The situation is much stronger than before!
With an army of [-] in hand,

Liu Bei directly broke through Shouchun City!
Yuan Shu was defeated.

Completely defeated.

Not to mention the surrender of the defenders of Shouchun City,
Counties in Nanyang also surrendered to Liu Bei one after another.

This made Liu Bei pull out an army of nearly [-] in a blink of an eye.

After reorganization and screening, 7 to [-] people remained in the end.

Now Liu Bei lives in Shouchun,
Zhang Fei stationed troops in Wu Fang,

Guan Yu even led the army to re-garrison Xiapi City.

As for the class teacher's return to court, they didn't mention it at all!

Cao Cao's face is ugly now.

He fought fiercely against all the cities in Runan for a long time, and this was a dowry for Liu Bei!
He spent money and food on soldiers and horses, damaged soldiers, and finally Runan's surname was Liu!

Although he also won several counties, compared with Liu Bei's gains,
Cao Cao would rather not have these counties, it's disgusting!
Cheng Yu said: "Liu Bei is now guarding Shouchun, Zhang Fei is guarding Wufang, and Guan Yu is occupying Xiapi. It seems that occupying Runan is not enough, and he wants to plot Xuzhou!"

Cao Cao frowned: "Who is in charge of Xuzhou's government affairs now?"

Cheng Yu said, "It's Liu Bei's aide, Sun Gan."

Cao Cao frowned even tighter: "Sun Qian? Where's Chen Deng?"

Cheng Yu said helplessly: "Chen Deng claimed to have been ill for a long time, and he has been recuperating in the mansion and never showed up."

"Guan Yu entered Xuzhou, and now Sun Qian is in charge of Xuzhou's government affairs, but he hasn't said a word?" Cao Cao asked.

Cheng Yu shook his head.

At this time, Guo Jia said, "Prime Minister, the Chen family is small, after all, it's nothing more than a wall. What we need to pay attention to now is still Liu Bei."

"Liu Bei's hypocritical benevolence and righteousness in Runan for so long has won a lot of people's hearts. Now he has occupied Runan, and Guan Yu has entered Xuzhou. Once Liu Bei really occupies the two places in Xuzhou and Runan, it will be difficult to clean up."

"At the moment, we should take advantage of the fact that the war in Runan has just passed, and Liu Bei has never heard of it, and drive him out of Runan!"

Cao Cao nodded and picked up the bamboo slips on the table: "That's right, Liu Bei is the big problem right now. If he occupies Runan and Xuzhou, then things will be difficult."

Cheng Yu also agreed: "Prime Minister, at the moment, one general should be sent into Wu Fang, and at the same time, the army will dispatch Shou Chun. If Zhang Fei goes out of the city to rescue, he will be stationed in Wu Fang, turning Shou Chun's Liu Bei into a lone army."

"Once Liu Bei is defeated, Runan can take advantage of the situation, and then move to Xuzhou to encircle and suppress Guan Yu. The overall situation can be determined."

Cao Cao has no objection to this plan, but Zhang Fei's violent force is not something ordinary people can control.

He used to have Dian Wei and Xu Chu, but now Dian Wei is gone, and Xu Chu is not capable of commanding the three armies. This is what troubled Cao Cao the most.

Cao Cao has no shortage of good generals, but he lacks fierce generals, especially the kind of fierce generals who can be defeated by thousands of people.

When thinking of the fierce general who is an enemy of thousands of people, Cao Cao thought of Lu Bu again.

Thinking back to when he led an army of eight thousand tigers and wolves to sweep away thousands of troops under the city of Pi, Cao Cao could not help but ask, "Where is Lu Bu now?"

"Lü Bu broke Guangling and Lujiang successively, and now he has arrived in Nanyang." Cheng Yu said.

"Nanyang, that's a good place." Cao Cao couldn't help laughing.

Before he finished laughing, someone hurried in from outside: "Prime Minister, something happened in Nanyang!"

Cao Cao's expression froze: "What happened to Nanyang?"

"Lü Bu forcibly moved millions of people from Nanyang to pass!" said the envoy.

The bamboo slips in Cao Cao's hand fell to the ground:
"what?"
