Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 109 Negotiation
Although the battle in Puyang City was over, it was already in a mess.

blah blah blah!
A group of soldiers and horses came slowly along the street from a distance.

Lu Bu walked in the front, looking at the tragic situation on both sides of the street, he felt a little sad in his heart.

In the battle last night, although Puyang was successfully recaptured, the loss was too heavy.

Although the battalions have not yet reported the lost troops, Lu Bu has already judged the loss of his own side through the points of support.

The original support value of 29100 points has now become 22600 support points.

A loss of more than 6000 points and nearly 7000 points is such a heavy loss.

The wounded rescued on both sides of the street included soldiers in the army, civilians in the city, and refugees outside the city.

Among them are old people, fathers and daughters, and even children.

Lu Bu came to the county government office with a heavy heart.

Chen Gong and Zhang Miao hurried over, "Marquis Wen, it's great, we have recaptured Puyang."

Lu Bu shook his head with a wry smile, "Although Puyang was taken back, the loss is too heavy!"

Zhang Miao was stunned for a moment, "Marquis Wen, wars have always caused damage since ancient times, so don't take it to heart."

Hearing this, Lu Bu frowned.

Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu's face was a bit ugly, and said hastily, "Marquis Wen, now that we have regained Puyang, we should compensate or take care of the people and refugees who have helped us."

Hearing these words, Lu Bu felt much more pleasing to the ear, and nodded, "It should be true."

Speaking of this, Lu Bu paused, "But how should I make up for it?"

Zhang Miao cupped his hands and said, "The reason why the people support us is because we gave them money before. This time, why not give them some more money to compensate them?"

Lu Bu nodded, "Okay, wait a minute, Dexian is here, let's discuss how to compensate?"

Cao Jun had been driven out of the city. There were still some Cao Jun soldiers in the city who had not had time to run out. During the purge work, they were slowly captured.

It lasted until evening, when the city of Puyang was completely quiet and calm was restored.

After a busy day, Lu Bu wanted to go back and rest, but he still felt that it was difficult to calm down in his heart. A suppressed emotion could not be dispelled no matter what.

Since he was restless, Lu Bu changed into casual clothes, took Zhang Hu, Li Gu and others, left the mansion, and walked aimlessly along the street.

At the crossroads on the street, there were still Lu Bu Army soldiers standing guard to guard against anything going wrong.

Lu Bu didn't want to be seen by them either, so he walked along the alley to relax.

However, after walking for a while, Lu Bu's irritable mood not only did not relax, but became more depressed.

There are residents on both sides of the alley, and at this time, almost every distance walked, there will be crying from the residents.

"Father, you are gone, what should we orphans and widows do, woo woo!"

Lu Bu passed a small alley, heard the cries coming from inside, and suddenly saw two people coming out of the yard.

The two went out, talking quietly.

"It's really not easy. I don't even have a man in my family. How can I farm the land?"

"Yeah, if there is no way to farm, wouldn't it be a dead end."

"Poor orphans and widowed mothers, it's so pitiful that they are so lost!"

Lv Bu sighed secretly, and continued to run in the alley until he got to the back, crying still.

Early the next morning, Lu Bu called everyone to discuss.

After the generals reported the results of their losses, Lu Bu felt even more unhappy.

The soldiers in the army lost about 3000 people!
However, on his points, it showed that he had lost 6500 people.

The system will not lie to him, he must have lost so much, there is absolutely no mistake.

That is to say, the soldiers lost 3000 people, but the common people lost 3500 people, more than the soldiers lost.

Lu Bu felt his heart heavy. He suddenly remembered the words he heard last night, and his heart became even heavier.

Maybe what I lost was just a little bit of support, but for a certain family, maybe what I lost was the backbone.

A pillar has fallen, and perhaps a family has been destroyed.

Lu Bu looked around with a solemn expression, and asked slowly, "Everyone, although Puyang was recaptured this time, it was hard-won and suffered heavy losses.

Although the soldiers died in battle, we cannot forget them, let alone let them down. "

At this point, Lu Bu's tone suddenly increased, "There are also those people who have lost more than us in order to help us regain Puyang. We cannot let down this love."

Zhang Miao stepped forward first, "Marquis Wen, I suggest that we distribute some money to these fallen soldiers and common people to compensate them."

Lu Bu didn't speak, but turned to look at Chen Gong, "Gongtai, what do you mean?"

Chen Gong thought for a while, "It's just distributing some money, I feel it's not enough, how about distributing some land?"

After saying this, Chen Gong also looked at Lu Bu cautiously, because he knew that from the beginning, Lu Bu had no intention of distributing the land, but wanted to use it for farming.

So after he made this suggestion, he was also sizing up Lu Bu's reaction.

Lu Bu nodded, then turned to look at Xu Si.

Xu Si cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, I have already counted the treasury. The food is not too much, but there is a lot of money, so it should be enough."

Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou and slaughtered various cities along the way. Although he did not steal much food, the amount of money was astonishing.

After Cao Jun came to Puyang, he put the money into the treasury, hoping to occupy Puyang for a long time.

But then thought that Puyang had been breached, so he left in a hurry, and all the property was taken by Lu Bujun.

It can be said that Cao Cao's crazy looting in Xuzhou, but the person who got the advantage in the end was Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked at Wang Kai who had suffered a lot.

Wang Kai stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, of course the people in the city should be compensated, but I believe that the refugees have also suffered great losses and should also be compensated."

Lu Bu looked at everyone again, "Everyone, do you have any other suggestions?"

Gao Shun hurried forward, "Yesterday in the battle, the soldiers put their lives to the fore and took the lead. The losses were also very heavy, so the general thinks that rewards are also indispensable."

Zhang Liao stepped forward and raised his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, in addition to rewards, the officers and soldiers in the army should also receive certain rewards in terms of official positions, so that the military's power can be boosted and everyone can use their lives."

Hearing what everyone said, Lu Bu nodded, but still felt a little lacking in his heart.

Just like what I heard last night, the family has no pillars, no matter how much money is distributed, there are still land, orphans and widows, how can they survive?

If they were ignored, the final outcome would be very miserable.

This has also set an example for others invisibly. When this happens again in the next battle, who else is willing to help out with their lives?
Therefore, this problem must be solved no matter what, and these people must not be allowed to end up miserable.
