Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 90 Loss
Losing a city does not cause much loss to Cao Mengde. He can develop in other cities, and maybe he will develop even better.

However, for Lu Bu, the loss was too great.

If you throw it into a city you once occupied, you will lose [-] support points, and if the people in the city rebel, you will lose even more support points.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu knew that Puyang must be taken back, otherwise the loss would be too heavy.

Lu Bu finally made up his mind to solve the problem by drawing a lottery.

"System, I want to draw a lottery."

"The host is unlucky, I didn't get anything this time!"

Snapped!
Lu Bu slammed his fist on the table and roared angrily.

"hateful!"

What time is this? It was the time when he was most needed, but he took a break!
Originally 47600 points of support, one lottery draw, only 35900 support points left.

In anger, Lu Bu stared at the remaining support value and was stunned.

In a short period of time, they lost more than 1000 support points.

How did you lose it?
Could it be that another battle broke out in Puyang?
Meanwhile, to the west of Puyang, where the refugees reclaimed their land, was previously full of harmony and hope.

Everyone's face, although tired, was full of smiles.

Because they know that this reclaimed land is where they will live in the future.

From now on, they are no longer refugees, but people under Lu Bu's rule, and they can live the life of their dreams in peace and contentment.

Many well-informed people brought back the news that Fan County and other places had already reduced or exempted land taxes, which filled the hearts of these desperate refugees with even more hope.

Wen Hou is the best person in the world!
As long as you live under the rule of Marquis Wen, you may suffer a bit. Everyone firmly believes that life will get better and better.

And all of this was given by Marquis Wen!
However, today a large number of soldiers broke in and plundered their food. Anyone who dared to resist would be killed.

Countless war horses galloped across this uncultivated land, and every time the sharp sword was swung down, refugees who wanted to protect the food would scream and fall to the ground.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

In the end, these demons with sharp knives snatched their only food, mutilated countless refugees, and deprived them of the hope of life, and left triumphantly with the food.

The original harmony and hope in this land disappeared, and all that was left was crying!

At the same time, they also know who is taking away their food.

Cao Jun!

……

Chinese army tent.

Lu Bu sat in the middle, looked at Xun Yu's still handsome face, and suddenly sighed.

"Xun Wenruo, are you very happy, you will be going back soon."

Xun Yu was startled for a moment, then cupped his hands, "I will obey Marquis Wen's arrangement."

Zhang Chao on the side couldn't wait any longer, "Marquis Wen, everyone has brought here now, hurry up and send a letter to Cao Mengde to bring my eldest brother back."

Lu Bu nodded, "Prefect Zhang, don't worry, the Marquis has already sent someone to deliver the letter, we just need to wait for the news."

Just as everyone was talking, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and Zhang Hu's voice from outside the big tent came in.

"Marquis Wen, General Qin sent someone to deliver a letter."

Lu Bu was taken aback, "Let him in."

As Lu Bu finished speaking, a dusty soldier hurried in from outside the door.

"Reporting to Marquis Wen, something bad happened. Cao Mengde sent troops to the refugee camp and took away all the food there."

Hearing what the soldiers said, Lu Bu suddenly understood why his support value suddenly dropped by more than 1000!
It turned out that these people were not sentenced, but were killed by Cao Jun.

“How many refugees were killed?”

"There are no detailed statistics on the specific number, but there must be at least more than 1000 people."

Lu Bu remembered his loss of support, and his deep eyes were about to spew out anger. Looking at the soldiers, he suddenly roared, "Cao Mengde, it's nothing more than grabbing food. Why are you killing refugees? It's really hateful!"

The soldier's face was full of sadness, and he cupped his hands and said, "These refugees are pitiful enough. They thought they could survive, but unexpectedly, they still fell under the butcher's knife."

Xun Yu stood aside with his hands down. Although he bowed his head and said nothing, there was a trace of complicated expression in his eyes. After savoring it for a while, he suddenly let out a silent sigh.

Zhang Chao became a little impatient, "Marquis Wen, the death of a few refugees is a trivial matter, but we should think about how to deal with my eldest brother..."

"shut up!"

Before the words were finished, Lu Bu interrupted him with a roar, and looked at Zhang Chao with sharp eyes like blades.

"You say that the refugee incident is a trivial matter?"

There are [-] to [-] refugees west of Puyang. If they are all killed, that would be [-] to [-] support points.

If he loses so many support points, Lu Bu's current support points will be bought at once, and he will lose all of them!

Zhang Chao's expression changed when he was frightened by Lu Bu's sharp eyes, and he took a step back subconsciously, "Wen Hou, what are you?"

When Lu Bu was angry, he also knew that he had lost his composure. He took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and sorted out his thoughts before speaking slowly.

"Prefect Zhang, there are [-] to [-] refugees west of Puyang, if we ignore them, I'm afraid they will become refugees again, and it will be a matter of time before they starve to death.

Meng Zhuoneng is known as one of the eight chefs, and he is also a man who is anxious for justice and loves justice. He will understand my mood. "

Having said that, Lu Bu ignored Zhang Chao, turned his head and shouted at the door, "Send the order down, send people back to Juancheng, and send the grain to the west of Puyang as soon as possible. If there is any negligence, I will definitely be punished."

Even Xun Yu, who had kept his head down all the time, hurriedly raised his head to look at Lu Bu, but suddenly a huge wave of thoughts surged in his heart.

When he was in Juancheng, Lu Bu ordered the land tax to be reduced or exempted. He thought it was to gain fame.

But now Zhang Chao only said a word about the refugees, which caused Lu Bu to become furious regardless of the feelings of his allies!
Could it be that I guessed wrong before?

Didn't Lu Bu do all this to gain fame?

Just when he thought of this, Xun Yu heard Lu Bu's words that sounded like he was mumbling to himself or speaking to everyone.

"Hurry up, I don't want any more refugees to starve to death!"

A ray of sunlight shone in from outside the big tent, just covering Lu Bu who was sitting at the main seat.

Xun Yu looked at Lu Bu, who was bathed in the sun, and spoke like a saint. The original contempt in his heart had long since dissipated, and before he knew it, he respected him a little more.

Although Xun Yu has an easy-going appearance, his heart is extremely lonely.

In this world, there are not many people he can admire, even if they are as strong as Yuan Shao, he will not take them seriously.

What can make him truly awe is not a certain person, but the once glorious and powerful Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty was so powerful in the past that all the foreign races were frightened when they heard about it, and they only dared to worship and did not dare to show any contempt.

Although the Han Dynasty is weak now, Xun Yu has the confidence to restore the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.
