Chapter 1023

Wei Xu couldn't hear the impatience in Lu Bu's tone, but he didn't care at all. He said: "the general has been thinking that Yunzhong and Dingxiang are in the hands of Hu people. We need to take them back. It's just that these two counties are too bad. Dingkou, a county, is not as good as Taiyuan. Oh, yes, we can raise this horse here."

"If we only raise horses, the land of these two counties will be enough for our army to use, but there is no shortage of these army officials. Think about the fact that there are not many generals in Bingzhou, but they are still wasted in this wasteland. What a waste. But Wuyuan and Shuofang are now in the hands of our Han family's son lang. why do we have to spare no effort to grab them? "

Lu Bu replied: "I know that Wuyuan and the two counties are also sparsely populated, but Mr. Chen is right. Although there are not many people in the two counties, they can still provide us with some taxes."

Wei Xu pretended to be surprised and said: "if it's just to pay taxes for these permits, why fight? Send someone to say that they can come to lower taxes. The general can promise to admit that they have the two counties, and then let them pay taxes on time

Wei Xu's words brightened Lv Bu's eyes. He just felt that he had lost face and let them go. He couldn't let his face go. With hesitation, Wei continued: "of course, in addition to these, they resisted the Imperial Army and led to the loss of some soldiers and horses in our Bingzhou army. These must be punished. Otherwise, people's anger will not be leveled. If the general does his best, they will be destroyed."

Then, Wei Xu gave Lv Bu some comparisons between occupation and surrender, and finally convinced Lv Bu reluctantly. Just then, Chen Gong came in, just heard what Wei Xu said, and said thoughtfully: "general Wei's words are reasonable, general. Recently, the palace is also thinking about it. If it can really be as general Wei said, let the two counties fall without fighting, it will be impossible It's just who can be an envoy? "

Wei continued to listen and said with great joy: "don't worry, general. You have never met Shuofang's Xiake. If you don't go, you should be able to persuade them to come down. You just need the general to acknowledge their control over the two counties."

Lv Bu was finally convinced by them, so he agreed to Wei Xu's request and asked him to send an envoy to juanyang to discuss the matter with Zhao Zilong and Xiake.

Three days later, Wei Xu went back to the army with a red face and reported the result of his trip to Lv Bu. The two strange eunuchs said they were willing to surrender. Of course, the conditions were just what Wei Xu said at the beginning. Lv Bu got face and they got inside. To Lu Bu's delight, thousands of soldiers captured last year were returned with good food and drink, as well as their weapons and equipment.

Together with the two families returned to the dead and wounded soldiers compensation, so that Lu Bu is more satisfied. Originally, there was such a precedent in the Central Plains, so Lu Bu didn't reject it. What made him more satisfied was that he didn't use it to manage these two places, but there were many taxes and so on.

Two days later, Xiake and Zhao Zilong arrived at Lvbu camp. This time, they came to see Lvbu as the following subordinates. Secondly, they also brought money and supplies for Lvbu. So far, chivalrous and Zhao Zilong two people's Taishou seat is finally saved.

At this time, progress was also made in the war of the expeditionary army.

Well, in fact, it should be inappropriate to use the word "progress". We can only say that progress has been made on the western front. On the fourth day after the fall of Dingtao City, Huang Zhong's troops also used the tunnel to invade the outer city of Qiao County. Although Cao Cao sent people to Qiao County to try to break into the city to remind Cao Hong, they were all intercepted outside the city by Huang Zhong's cavalry.

After entering the city, Cao Hong led his troops to retreat into the inner city and continue to defend. After two days, he had no choice but to abandon the city and escape. In the end, less than 2000 of the 30000 troops escaped with Cao Hong and retreated into Pengcheng to join LV Qian. Cao Jing, the commander of Cao Cao's military camp, and the captains of Qiao County were all killed. Cao Hong was also seriously injured and comatose when he retreated to Pengcheng.

After that, Huang Zhong led 50000 troops to attack peiguo. Five days later, Huang Zhong captured Xiang county. So far, all the counties in Yuzhou fell into the hands of Zhengdong army.

At the same time, Zhang Ying and Huang Wudi have all taken the cities of Liang state and Jiyin and returned to Dingtao city to make preparations for the next round of war.

Contrary to the situation on the western front, the war in Qingzhou was not so serious. After more than ten days, Ju county was finally conquered by the army of Xia Houyuan. Tens of thousands of garrison troops, except 10000 cavalry soldiers, had been cruising outside, but less than 6000 troops were evacuated. Fortunately, with 10000 cavalry soldiers, Xu Rong was able to escort more than 20000 family members to leave Ju county and return to Shuanghe city.

However, Xia Houyuan's 100000 troops lost 50000 or 60000 people. Otherwise, he would not allow 20000 or 30000 people to withdraw from the city. What's more, Xia Houyuan felt that the soldiers in the county and city were the elite of the expeditionary army. If the tens of thousands of troops in the county and city were not in the first World War, the expeditionary army would not have much combat power. Therefore, no matter where they withdrew, they would not be able to fight, You can't escape from the palm of your hand.

There is still more than half a month left in the flood season of the river. Xia Houyuan believes that he can take the whole Qingzhou in this time, but he didn't expect that the expeditionary army can't take the people away by the river, but it can transport them away by the sea. By the time he found out this, nearly half of the population of Qingzhou had been evacuated.At the same time, ten thousand cavalry of Donglai were also cruising outside, closely watching the two armies of yelaixiang and Cao Charlie, which invaded the north, so that the idea of dividing the two armies could not be implemented. They had to attack in groups. In more than ten days, they only captured a county in Yi'an, while Donglai and Beihai, which were close to Qingdao, were wantonly transferring people. In more than ten days, more than 100000 people and tens of thousands of taxi soldiers gathered in Qingdao.

Today's two port cities are full of people. Fortunately, the fleets of the two ports are ready. Now the first group of people with more than 10000 people can set out for Youzhou. Although the first group has a small population, their task is to rush to the young people of Youzhou first. When they pass, they will be ready together with the local people The basic needs of the follow-up public housing materials.

It is estimated that the whole immigration period will last for about half a year. After half a year, there will be only about 20000 soldiers and thousands of sailors left in the two port cities. In addition to the craftsmen of the port docks and some of their families, there will be only about 50000 people here.
