Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 39
Zaoyi is known as a talented person, and he manages a county for a long time. He knows the principles of governance, so he said this.

Xu Si nodded, "Magistrate Zao is right, indeed, sometimes, no matter what we do, there will be people who don't support us."

Zao Zhi said slowly, "So, we can take this opportunity to screen out these people and be on guard against them in the future."

Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward, "Magistrate Zao, what should we do?"

Zaoyi cupped his hands, "It's very simple, if the gentry in the city donate money, if they support Marquis Wen, they will naturally be generous, but if they don't, they will feel distressed, and they will definitely not donate more, just deal with it! "

Han Hao frowned, "But the reason why some people donate less may be because their own financial resources do not allow it, not because they are not willing to part with it. If we just make judgments like this, isn't it a bit inappropriate!"

Zaozhi waved his hand, "Perhaps this method can't be very accurate, but at least we can judge who really supports Marquis Wen and who may oppose."

Lu Bu asked slowly, "Even if we ask them to donate, there must be a name. What words should we use?"

Zaozhi sighed, "This siege has destroyed many people's houses and buildings, why don't we ask everyone to donate in this name.

First, it can help those common people, and second, it can also test everyone's attitude. "

Lu Bu pondered for a moment, nodded, turned to look at Xu Bang, and said slowly, "Dexian, you should send the money out today, and let's discuss about the donation."

Xu Si arched his hands, "Marquis Wen, is the amount of property in accordance with the new regulations, or is it the same as in Fan County?"

Lu Bu smiled slightly, "Since someone donated money, it's the same, and it will save everyone's dissatisfaction."

Xu Si cupped his hands again, turned around and left.

Zaoyi cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, I haven't made any contribution yet. If Marquis Wen can trust me, how about donating money and doing it?"

Lu Bu was immediately overjoyed and said, "Magistrate Zao, if you are willing to do it, I can only ask for it, so this matter will trouble you."

After Xu Bang and Zao Zhi left, Han Hao hesitated for a moment, raised his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, the general wants to go to Puyang to prepare for the farming. Please allow Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu nodded, "Alright, this matter cannot be delayed, General Han, you can leave tomorrow, and I will write you some more tonight."

Hearing this, Han Hao was overjoyed immediately, "The final general is waiting for the good news."

After everyone left, Lu Bu did not rush to the military camp, but sent people to find Chen Gong.

Although Xu Si, Han Hao, and Zao Zhi were talented, through observation, Lu Bu discovered that most of their abilities were not in military matters, but in governance.

Among the entire camp, only Chen Gong could give some insights on the military.

Now, although Dong'e has been occupied, Fan County has been taken back by Cao Jun. What should we do next?
Is it to take back Fan County?
Or rest and recuperate?

Although he now has a powerful bed crossbow and multifunctional siege vehicles, when he attacked Dong'e, Cheng Yu just ordered people to dig a ditch beside the city wall, making the multifunctional siege vehicles useless.

Although the bed crossbow is powerful, it is impossible to expect it to break through the city.

In addition, there is another most important issue, that is, it must be stable!
The fall of Fan County caught Lü Bu off guard, and as a result, Haoxuan caused a catastrophe.

Therefore, since you have occupied Dong'e, you must not lose it, otherwise, it is not just as simple as losing a city!
So how to take the next step, we must be cautious!

If it were in the past, Lu Bu would have led troops to attack Fan County without hesitation. No matter whether he could win or not, he would have done so.

But now, he had too many worries, which made him want to consult with someone and try to make the most reasonable arrangement.

After a quarter of an hour, Chen Gong came in from the door with a happy face.

"I met Marquis Wen."

"Gongtai, are you happy?"

Chen Gong smiled and nodded, "Marquis Wen, for some reason, almost a large number of these Dong'e County magistrates want to join our army.

It just so happened that our army also lost some troops, so some supplements were selected. "

Speaking of this, Chen Gong snorted coldly, "In order to defend Dong'e, Cheng Yu and Xue Ti selected some young men from the family to supplement the troops here.

It was also their bad luck. More than 600 servants of their two families were captured by us.

This time, Cheng Yu, an old man, will lose face. "

Lu Bu thought of Xue Ti's abhorrentness, and as soon as he made the case, he said angrily, "There is also that Xue Ti, we must not let it go."

Chen Gong said with a smile, "It's not necessarily how distressing the two of them have lost these young men!"

Hearing this sentence, Lu Bu's heart moved. He put his hand on his chin, thought for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Gongtai, how many prisoners do you think they have captured?"

"About 600 people!"

Lu Bu asked with a smile, "Gongtai, since these people are members of their two clans, they will definitely feel distressed if they lose them. Tell me, if you sell them, what do you think?"

"Sell them?"

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu in shock, "How to sell it?"

Lu Bu sneered, "Since they are their clansmen, let them redeem them with money. If they don't come to redeem them, then don't blame us for being rude."

Chen Gong reacted, "Haha, yes, let them redeem with money, no, let them redeem with food.

If they are reluctant, then we will chop a few of them in front of them and tell everyone about it so that everyone knows what kind of people they are. From now on, they will not be able to hold their heads up when walking. "

Lu Bu nodded, "Yes, Xue Ti's family's ransom is higher, and we must not let him go easily."

Chen Gong suddenly asked, "If they are really not willing to give up food, what should they do?"

Lu Bu waved his hand, "It would be even better if they really don't come to redeem people, these captured people will definitely feel dissatisfied, and maybe they will secretly hold grudges, hating them for not saving them.

Let these people join us, won't they be our main force against Cheng Yu? "

Chen Gong immediately stretched out his thumb, "Good way, let's arrange someone to do it."

Lu Bu waved his hand, "This matter is not urgent. I came here to discuss with you. What should we do next?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Gong was stunned on the spot and asked tentatively, "Marquis Wen, are you here to discuss this matter?"

For so long, no matter what Lu Bu does, unless he offers advice, it depends on whether he is in a good mood and whether he is willing to accept it.

Now, he took the initiative to discuss with himself, and Chen Gong even wondered if the person in front of him was Wen Hou Lu Bu?
