Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 183: The Curtain

"My lord, there have been a lot fewer sect thieves making trouble in various places recently, and there are a lot more families who want to join us." Li Ru came to Lu Bu's side, and when he talked about the family's problems, he was somewhat regretful.

According to Li Ru's original plan, like Dong Zhuo, Lv Bu should gradually form a compromise with the family. Although this will be a little troublesome here, it will be much easier to pacify the world if he can gain the approval of the gentry from all over the Central Plains.

But this road is difficult to walk, and in the process of walking, you must continue to make various compromises with the family, and you may not be recognized by others. Perhaps like Lu Bu, you can directly overthrow the original strategy of ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats. A road that belongs to Lu Bu or Dong Zhuo.

At least for now, most of those small aristocratic families sincerely voted, just like the Guanlong family that was subdued by Lu Bu at the beginning, and these small families did not reject Lu Bu's new policy, and they could use some benefits for Lu Bu, and at the same time, taxes were also paid. There will be no less pay, these small families are easier to control than big families.

What are the benefits of a big family?

During this period of time, Li Ru has been thinking about this. The biggest advantage is its appeal and huge financial resources. As for talents, although it is easier for a big family to produce some top talents, it is not impossible for a small family to have opportunities, just like the people who defected to Lu Bu now These family talents are not weak.

Perhaps Lu Bu's move is more useful than Li Ru's original strategy for Dong Zhuo. Of course, the price to be paid for fighting for the world will be greater, but the victory lies in stability.

"It's just a temporary hibernation. After I return to Guanzhong, there will definitely be repetitions!" Lu Bu nodded after hearing the words, but he did not let go of his guard: "Hurry up about the relocation. Without these people, I think these sect thieves Where to grab it?"

What do the bandits entrenched in Nanyang do for a living? It is impossible to support so many sect thieves by robbing ordinary people, and as far as we know, the common people somewhat shelter these sect thieves, if they have been exploiting the common people for a living, how can the common people protect them?

Now that the people are taken away, many things will become clear. Where does the food to feed these sect thieves come from? Without the cover of the people, it is easy to find out.

At that time, these sect thieves will naturally disappear.

"My lord, don't worry, Ruding will handle this matter properly!" Li Ru nodded. This year is approaching, but the large-scale migration in Nanyang is going on.

The people are naturally resentful, but there is no other way. Firstly, Lu Bu wants to stabilize the Guanzhong. Second, the land of Nanyang is the place where Lu Bu directly borders the Central Plains. In the future, wars will definitely happen frequently. Instead of seeing the people displaced under the flames of war , it is better to evacuate the people to a safe place in advance.

In order to avoid too much loss during this migration, Lu Bu basically used the method of guidance, with the protection of soldiers from various armies along the way. When he arrived in Guanzhong, Han Hao had already made a plan, especially after Jingzhao uprooted countless local wealthy families. , more people can be accommodated.

"How is Yuan Shu?" Lu Bu asked casually, naturally assured of Li Ru's ability.

"The main force has already withdrawn, but there is a team left to fight against Liu Biao." Li Ru smiled and said, "It's interesting to say that this team had the opportunity to completely defeat Liu Biao several times, but they didn't. Just now Liu Biao was driven across the Han River and withdrawn from the Han River!"

Lu Bu was a little surprised when he heard the words, looked at Li Ru and said with a smile: "It seems that after this battle, the hearts of Yuan Shu's subordinates have begun to disperse."

The so-called No. 1 prince in the world has completely fallen from the altar after this battle. In the end, it is clear that Lu Bu won the battle of gambling luck, and the prestige of the court was re-established by him.

And Yuan Shu, the number one prince in the world, has become a joke. How arrogant he was when he came, how embarrassed he is now when he retreats, and what is more important is not the apparent loss of this war, but the fact that his subordinates have begun to have their own ideas. At this time, Yuan Shu really needs to reach an understanding with the imperial court in order to resolve the complicated external situation.

Otherwise, if Lu Bu never let go, what Yuan Shu would have to face would be the separation of the internal generals and the external vassals, who would eventually be divided up by the internal and external.

However, this matter was not good for Lu Bu, it was just a convenience for others, so naturally Lu Bu would not do it, which is why he reached a settlement with Yuan Shu.

"However, this Liu Biao should be hit, too long!" Lu Bu snorted coldly.

When Lu Bu and Yuan Shu fought before, Liu Biao chose to watch from the sidelines. Lu Bu can understand this. Not only Liu Biao, but all the princes of the world are watching.

But when Lu Bu defeated Yuan Shu and the overall situation was settled, Liu Biao sent troops to support him. When Lu Bu could not spare his hands, he extended his hand to Nanyang.

Lu Bu naturally knew about Sun Ce's attack on Liu Biao, so how could he not know it right under his nose?

Liu Biao even sent someone to ask for help, but Lu Bu ignored him.

Liu Biao came to attack the city in the name of helping Lu Bu. Xinye and other places were captured by Liu Biao, and Lu Bu could only watch.

This is also the reason why Sun Ce and Zhou Yu chose to fight Liu Biao. They knew very well that Lu Bu would never help Liu Biao at this time, and they would even applaud, because Lu Bu couldn't fight, and they were fighting for Lu Bu. How could Lu Bu make a move?

Li Ru nodded. Liu Biao is Dong Zhuofeng's governor of Jingzhou. Now it seems that after Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, his ambitions began to expand. I am afraid that the reason why he had a bad relationship with Yuan Shu before was not only because of the conflict of ideas, but because Liu Biao knew that it would be difficult for Yuan Shu to sit in Jingzhou. preservation.

Now that Lu Bu has taken Nanyang, I'm afraid Liu Biao may not really wish for Lu Bu's well-being.

"There is no one around this time, so Wen You can only be the Nanyang prefect temporarily. If you have any needs, Wen You can tell me." After the two talked about the recent political affairs in Nanyang, Lu Bu looked at Li Ru and asked road.

The overall situation in Nanyang has been decided, and Yuan Shu has already retreated. The remaining one is emigration and the other is governance. It is impossible for Lu Bu to do these things all the time. He needs to return to Chang'an to sit in charge.

"My lord, you can leave Cizeng behind. This son is quite capable. After Nanyang is stabilized, Ruxiang will take over the post of Nanyang prefect from Cizeng." Li Ru bowed and smiled.

Yoon Bong?

Lu Bu nodded. Among the young people recruited by Xiliang, Yin Feng should be the most outstanding in governing the region. He is indeed the best candidate to take over Nanyang prefect in the future, but...

"Will Ci Zeng be too young?" Lu Bu looked at Li Ru, Yin Feng was indeed good, but was it too much to be the prefect of Nanyang at a young age?

Li Ru understood what Lü Bu meant. Firstly, Yin Feng was young, so he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back the situation. Secondly, because of his lack of merit and qualifications, it was somewhat inappropriate for him to be the prefect of a large county like Nanyang.

"My lord's intention is..." Li Ru looked at Lu Bu.

"Let him be the Chang'an order first, next year he will be the prefect of Fufeng, responsible for the security of the people, and in the following year he will serve as the governor of Jingzhao Yin for a year, and then he will go to Nanyang to be the prefect of the county. When you return to the court, what do you think of being the prefect of Nanyang again? "Lu Bu looked at Li Ru.

In this way, at least he has qualifications and ability is not bad, and with the transition of the past two years, plus Yin Feng does have enough ability, even though he is still too young by then, there will be less criticism from others.

"My lord is considerate, and Confucianism is inferior." Li Ru nodded and smiled.

After all, Nanyang is very important to Lu Bu. It is not only a strategic location, but also an enclave. To be the prefect of Nanyang and the general of Nanyang, not only must the ability be excellent, but also the loyalty to Lu Bu must be sufficient, just like Lu Bu chose Gao Shun Being the defender of Nanyang is the same, not only is Gao Shun capable enough, but more importantly, Lu Bu believes in Gao Shun as a man.

Otherwise, in terms of ability alone, Xu Rong is actually more suitable than Gao Shun, but Lu Bu's trust in Xu Rong is obviously not as good as Gao Shun, although Xu Rong may have known each other for a longer time.

"Don't talk about that. It's over here. I'm going to leave tomorrow. It's best to get back to Chang'an before the end of the year. Things need to be settled over there." Lu Bu got up and smiled.

There are some things that Xu Rong can decide, but the life and death of courtiers like the Sangong and Jiuqing depends on Lu Bu. It's not that Xu Rong can't kill him, but after killing Xu Rong, it's not good for Xu Rong. Some things, as the lord, Lu Bu If he can carry it, when it falls on the shoulders of his subordinates, it will be a mountain. If Xu Rong commits suicide without permission, it will have a greater impact than if he slaughtered 10,000 gentry and wealthy families.

As the lord, Lu Bu not only needs to know how to employ people, but when necessary, he has to carry what he should resist, unless he doesn't want Xu Rong anymore.

"So fast?" Li Ru was not surprised when he heard the words, but smiled and said, "The scenery in Nanyang is no worse than Chang'an."

"Where the scenery is too much, I will get tired of it. Now I miss the vast and boundless grassland of Jiuyuan even more, which can make people open-minded." Lu Bu said with a smile: "Although this place is good, it is not my heart. I will leave it to Wenyou."

Li Ru smiled and agreed. Early the next morning, Lu Bu called Gao Shun and said, "Gongzheng, you will be in charge of the military affairs of Nanyang. The large army must be brought back, but the surrendered Nanyang army can continue to be recruited. The army can be filled up to 50,000, and Wen You will help you with the food and grass needed for conscription, and I will leave the rest to you!"

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely live up to my lord's entrustment!" Gao Shun bowed to Lu Bu and bowed.

"Farewell!" Lu Bu didn't say any more, after clenching fists with everyone, he led the army and set off for Guanzhong...
