Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 121 Cold Wind
Standing behind the crowd, Xu Si didn't blame these silent people, because he also knew very well that this was a war, and once he participated in it, he might never come back.

Now, unlike before, Marquis Wen reduces or even waives the land tax for everyone, and also distributes seeds and money to everyone, so that everyone can live better.

A good life has just begun, and it is time to enjoy it. Once you participate, all of this has nothing to do with him.

Especially in the last war, too many people were lost. In almost every alley, there were voices crying.

Although Xu Si understood the feelings of the common people, after seeing the notice clearly, he didn't speak, but turned his head and left silently, his heart still hurts.

When the sun rises, the bright sunlight illuminates every corner of Puyang City, and even the cool breeze is full of warmth, the places where the notices are posted everywhere are already empty.

Xu Si looked at the hoarse-voiced soldiers who were still yelling, and suddenly heaved an inexplicable sigh in his heart, turned and left.

When I came, although my steps were heavy, my heart was full of hope.

As I walked, my footsteps became heavier and heavier, and my hope had been suppressed by a trace of inexplicable sadness. It was hidden deep in my heart, but it still refused to disappear.

Xu Si didn't go back to rest, but walked towards the county government.

There were very few people on the street, and it seemed a little deserted, which made Xu Si's depressed mood even heavier.

When he reached the gate of the county government office, he suddenly let out a long sigh and hesitated for a long time before stepping into the gate.

As soon as he entered the hall, Xu Si saw Lu Bu's tall figure pacing back and forth in the room.

When Lu Bu heard a voice coming from outside the door, he hurriedly turned his head to look.

"Dexian, you're back, how are things going?"

Seeing Lu Bu's haggard expression, Xu Si suddenly couldn't bear it, paused, and said with a forced smile, "The notice has been issued, and I believe it won't be long before someone will apply for it."

Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That's good. Cao Mengde's attack this time is no small matter. He must be stopped outside in order to protect the people and refugees in Puyang City. There must be no mistakes."

The two sat down and began to talk about sending troops.

After an unknown amount of time, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and soon, Wei Xu strode in from outside the door.

"Marquis Wen, it's not good."

Seeing Wei Xu's panicked appearance, Lu Bu was taken aback in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Wei Xu, what happened, so panicked?"

Wei Xu wiped the sweat off his forehead, "Marquis Wen, so far, we have only recruited eight people."

"what?"

Lu Bu looked at Wei Xu in surprise, "How could this happen?"

Wei Xu snorted coldly, "This group of white-eyed wolves, Wen Hou treated them so well in vain, but at the critical moment, no one showed up. It's really hateful."

Seeing Lu Bu's unhappy expression, Xu Bang hurriedly explained, "Marquis Wen, maybe everyone doesn't know it now. Maybe there will be more people in the afternoon."

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Wei Xu, and asked slowly, "How is the situation in the refugee camp?"

Wei Xu shook his head, "There is no news yet, but it is now, and if there is no news, I am afraid it will not go well."

Hearing these words, Lu Bu was a little annoyed, but after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that this might not be a bad thing.

Even if the common people participate, they don't have much fighting power, and maybe they will cause even greater losses.

The most important thing is that if the loss is too much, the support points will drop a lot. If the deduction is not enough, the loss will increase instead.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu stood up, "Since everyone is unwilling to participate, I will not force you to pass on the order to get the army ready and set off on time tomorrow morning."

Wei Xu was a little dissatisfied, "Marquis Wen, how many benefits do those people and refugees have received from us, so let's forget it?"

Lu Bu's face darkened, "Kuochao, execute the order quickly."

When Xu Si, who was sitting by the side, heard Lu Bu's words, his heart became even heavier, and there was even a hint of sadness in a vague way.

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Xu Si, "Dexian, let's go to the barracks too."

The two left the county government office and rushed towards the barracks with a group of guards.

The street is even more deserted, and even the shops on both sides of the street are mostly closed at the moment.

Although under the scorching sun, there is a feeling of bleakness.

In the barracks, all the soldiers already knew about the dispatch and began to prepare busyly.

When everyone heard that Lu Bu was coming to the barracks, they immediately boiled over.

Following the order, the busy soldiers immediately gathered in the laughter field.

When Lu Bu appeared in the middle of the school field, dressed in armor, the soldiers couldn't help cheering loudly.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Invincible."

All soldiers firmly believe that as long as their invincible commander is still standing here, they will never fail.

Lu Bu came to the front of the high platform and waved to everyone, and the shouting on the school field disappeared immediately.

"Soldiers, your defeated general Cao Mengde is back, are you afraid?"

"Not afraid!"

"Since Cao Mengde dares to come back, what shall we do?"

"kill!"

All the soldiers gathered into one voice, like thunder and deafening, shocking the heavens.

At this moment, Wei Xu hurriedly ran from the direction of the camp gate, sweating profusely and short of breath, but his face was full of ecstasy.

Wei Xu panted and ran under the high platform, pointed out, and shouted loudly.

"Marquis Wen, someone has come to apply."

Lu Bu was taken aback, but before he could speak, Wei Xu shouted again, "There are many people, Marquis Wen, why don't you go and have a look?"

Seeing Wei Xu's gaffe, Lu Bu frowned.

The group of people arrived in front of the gate of the camp. Before they even got close, they heard a lot of people outside and it was very lively.

There was no reason in Xu Si's mind, and he hurried to the door. When he saw the outside, he was surprised at first, and then ecstatic.

Lu Bu walked to the door, looked at the dark crowd outside, and couldn't help but gasped.

"How come there are so many people?"

Xu Si's depressed mood has reached the peak like a roller coaster, and he said with a big smile.

"Marquis Wen, I'm afraid that everyone in the city is here. This is great joy."

The people outside the gate of the camp shouted when they saw Lu Bu appearing.

"Marquis Wen, let me join. Since Cao Mengde dares to come back, we will beat him back."

"And us, join us too!"

These people don't know any gorgeous words, but use the simplest words to express their mood at the moment.

"And I!"

"Marquis Wen is so kind to us, it's time for us to repay."

"Marquis Wen, accept us."

Seeing this scene, Xu Si suddenly felt his nose sour, and hot tears flowed from his eyes.

Why am I crying? It's so embarrassing!
Xu Bang lowered his head in panic and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.
