The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Lu Bu took a sip of cold water, a little curious about it.

Fang Yue asked people to fetch the strategic topographic map of the north, spread it on the table, pointed to the marked places on the map, and talked with Lu Bu in detail: "The Black Mountain bandits are a bandit force that emerged only two years ago. Wan, often plundering various places, operating in Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, Hanoi, and many valleys in the Taihang Mountains."

There are many peaks in the Taihang Mountains, most of which are above [-] feet above sea level, which provides a favorable geographical guarantee for the Black Bandits.The southeast of the mountains is the Hebei Plain, and the northwest is Bingzhou Shangdang. The terrain is mostly plateaus. The Xing Road leading from Hebei to Bingzhou is mostly distributed among the Taihang Mountains.

After listening to Fang Yue's basic overview of the Black Bandit, Lu Bu asked again: "Who is the leader of the Black Bandit?"

Fang Yue shook his head and answered: "The Black Mountain bandits don't have a clear commander, but there are quite a few big and small leaders. Among them are Zhang Feiyan, Huang Long, Yu Ligen, Guo Daxian, Qing Niujiao, Zhang Baiqi, Zuo Miaozhangba, and Huang Leigong. , Yu Du, Wulu, Li Damu, Bai Rao and others are the most powerful, and the bandits under their command range from [-] to [-] to [-] to [-] to [-]."

"Alien?"

Lu Bu frowned. No matter how he heard it, the names of these people did not seem to be the names of Han people.

Fang Yue said no, and explained to Lu Bu.

These names are not their real names, but because these bandit leaders are mostly from the bottom of society, and their names often come from a certain characteristic of their personal behavior.

For example, the person who rides a white horse is called Zhang Baiqi, the person with a strong hand is called Zhang Feiyan, the person with a loud voice is called Huang Leigong, the person with a beard is called Ligen, and the person with big eyes is called Li Damu.

"Since there is no leader of the thieves, why don't we just defeat them one by one?" Huang Zhong, who was sitting below, put forward his own opinion.

Fang Yue smiled wryly, if it was really that simple, that would be great.

"General Huang doesn't know that the Black Bandits rely on the mountains, entrenched in various dangerous valleys, and are connected with each other. Whenever one suffers, other places will surely send troops to rescue, and fighting in the valleys is not easy. We have a huge Disadvantage."

Fang Yue said with a headache, quite helpless about it.

The black mountain bandits went down the mountain to plunder, never occupying the city, and immediately retreated into the mountains after the plunder was over, guarding against danger.Otherwise, with Fang Yue's personality, he would have led people to defeat the thieves in Montenegro.

After listening to Fang Yue's complaint, Lu Bu raised his chin and began to meditate.It's no wonder that the Black Mountain bandits are difficult to suppress every time. It turns out that they rely on the dangerous peaks and deep valleys in the Taihang Mountains, so they are unscrupulous.

Seeing Lu Bu thinking, Fang Yue asked tentatively: "The Great Sima wants to suppress the Black Bandits?"

Lu Bu glanced at Fang Yue, without comment.

Back at the camp, Lu Bu summoned Xi Ce, Pang Ji and other advisers, and told them about the situation of the Black Bandits, and wanted to discuss a countermeasure.

"My lord, if it is true as you said, I suggest that you should wait and see what happens, and take time to figure it out."

Pang Ji came out to make suggestions, not to mention that the black bandits are far superior in number to their own side, the most important thing is that they have dangerous positions, and Lu Bu's army is not familiar with the geographical locations in the Taihang Mountains, so once they fight, they will definitely be at a disadvantage .

What's more, it is not a matter of overnight to wipe out the Black Mountain bandits, it will definitely take a lot of time.

Whether it will be thirty or fifty months, or a year and a half, no one can say for sure.

"Sir, what do you think?" Lu Bu asked Xiang Xice.

"Ce doesn't agree to go on a crusade now." After a short thought, Xi Ce replied, exactly the same as Pang Ji's opinion.In his view, since the purpose of Lu Bu's trip out of the customs was to sweep the north, there was no need to waste his strength on the Black Bandits.

What's more, although the Black Mountain bandits plundered Shangdang and Hanoi, most of them tended to go to the more affluent You and Ji prefectures.Presumably Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are the ones who truly hate the Black Mountain bandits.

As a counselor, the first thing to consider is the value of the interests involved by the enemy and the enemy, not the life and death of the local people.

Since the biggest victims of this incident were Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, why bother to send troops to suppress them.If the black mountain bandits are cornered and they switch to Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zan, then the loss outweighs the gain.

It's thankless, why do it?

Xi Ce, Pang Ji and others stood in Lu Bu's position, so naturally they would not suggest sending troops to crusade.

"Then let them continue to cause trouble?" Lu Bu frowned, and his face was a little chilly. He was obviously more inclined to attack the black bandits.

"Now that the north is not in peace, Yuan Shao, Gongsun, and Sun Zan are all wolves, and should not be underestimated. My lord can annex Yuan Shao and Gongsun, and then annex the forces under his command, and then deal with the Black Mountain bandits."

Pang Ji once again suggested that this is currently the most secure solution.

"Since neither Mr. nor Yuan Tu agrees with the crusade against the Black Mountain bandits, then let it go."

The two advisers under his command objected, so Lu Bu no longer insisted, so he had to temporarily give up the idea of ​​​​attacking the Black Bandits.

At this time, the young Sima Lang stepped forward and said, "My lord, I have a plan, maybe it will work."

As soon as these words came out, all the eyes in the tent were cast over.

Lu Bu was also curious, looked at this young man who had not reached the crown, and asked, "What's Boda's opinion?"

Sima Lang didn't hide his teasing, and raised his voice: "Lang thinks, instead of attacking from the outside, it's better to divide from the inside."

Xi Ce and Pang Ji looked at each other, and they understood instantly. When they looked at Sima Lang again, there was already a little more appreciation in their eyes.

Lu Bu thought for a while, then asked suspiciously, "Arrange to reprimand the spies?"

Sima Lang shook his head, and said slowly: "Arranging to reprimand the spies is only second, and the key is to break into the black mountain bandits. Do you want to keep them for your own use, or do you want to wipe them out?"

"Of course I want to keep it for my own use."

Lu Bu gave the answer without hesitation. With such a large force, anyone would want to take it under his command.However, he had heard from Fang Yue before that the black mountain bandits had killed several officials who went to recruit security, so there was no room for negotiation at all.

So from the beginning, Lu Bu didn't think about recruiting security.

"The black mountain bandits are self-confident, so the recruitment may not be successful. But the lord can send envoys, choose some leaders who are more close to the court, or who are willing to accept the recruitment, and reward them in the name of the court, and then publicize them."

Sima Lang talked eloquently, with a sly look in his eyes, and said calmly: "What will happen when the other leaders know about it?"

It is bound to be suspicious of each other and attack each other.

At that time, some Montenegrin leaders who couldn't bear to perish will definitely choose to flee.And Lu Bu, who had thrown an olive branch to them at this moment, was undoubtedly the best candidate to join them.

"Boda, wonderful!"

Lu Bu, who understood, laughed happily, praised Sima Lang without hesitation, and then asked everyone, who would go to ask for safety?

When everyone was hesitating, Sima Lang came out again and begged for orders: "Lang is not talented, and I am willing to take the lead for my lord."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

A few days later, Sima Lang took his entourage and the canonized edict stamped with the seal of Da Sima, and set off for the extremely dangerous den of black mountain bandits.

After resting in Hanoi for half a month, Lu Bu is also preparing to start again.

On this day, he went to the sheriff's mansion.

Inside the Sheriff's Mansion, servants came and went, tossing furniture and objects, lifting several large baskets of books, and carrying them to the ox cart outside the mansion.

Supported by his second son, Wang Kuang, who was the sheriff at the time, stood under the elm tree beside the mansion road, and ordered the servants to speed up their actions.

"Wang Shijun, are you going to move?" Lv Bu, who didn't know why, strode forward and asked Fox.

Seeing that it was Lu Bu, Wang Kuang saluted first, and then explained to Lu Bu: "Thanks to the great Sima's concern, this old man wants to remove all these miscellaneous things before the new governor takes office, so that they can be given to the new governor. The sheriff vacated the office space."
