The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

Naturally, the changes in Luoyang City could not be hidden from the emperor of Chang'an and Lu Bu of Yecheng, and they took different approaches.

The emperor issued an edict to recruit troops in Yongzhou, and the millions of people in Guanzhong managed to raise an army of 100,000 people. On the other hand, Jia Xu took charge of the donation of grain and money from the wealthy households in Guanzhong. Because it was the emperor who issued the edict, the wealthy households in Guanzhong They all opened their pockets. After all, it is the honor of the common people to serve the emperor.

Lu Bu in Yecheng was preparing for the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition. There was still a large area of ​​land to the north of Mongolian County. The previous Northern Expedition plundered 300,000 slaves, but the cold weather in Siberia blocked the advance of the army. Once Lu Bu was determined to completely conquer Rakshasa.

It is recorded in later books that Rakshasa is the predecessor of Tsarist Russia, which is the country that has taken away the most territory from China. Now Lu Bu wants to let the flag of the Han Dynasty fly on the land of Rakshasa country to completely eliminate this hidden danger in the future.

On this day, Lu Bu called for Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Chunyu Qiong.

After everyone sat down, Lu Bu began to speak: "I have called you here this time for the purpose of the northern expedition. The previous northern expedition presided over by Taishi Ci achieved great results, but was limited by the cold weather in Siberia and did not advance further. Now Bingzhou, You Officials from various counties in the state have spent half a year raising winter clothes, food, and ordnance to Mongolia County, and now it's time for you to show your performance."

Wen Chou said: "No one dares to disobey the general's orders."

Zhang He said: "I am willing to die for the general."

Chunyu Qiong asked: "I wonder how many soldiers and horses we can take in this expedition?"

Lu Bu said: "This time, the three of you can each command 30,000 people, 10,000 veterans, 10,000 newly recruited reserve soldiers, and 10,000 field soldiers. All the land captured in the Rakshasa Kingdom will be in the local area." The army was stationed in the fields, and 20% of the grain harvest was sent to the Mongolian county, and the remaining 80% belonged to the garrisoned Han army. The policy towards the people of the Rakshasa Kingdom was the same as before, all adult men were killed, and all young boys were castrated. All the women were escorted to Bingzhou as slaves and distributed uniformly by Chen Gongtai. Do you all understand?"

The three of them replied: "We already know, but there is one more thing I want to ask the general."

Lu Bu said, "What's the matter? Just tell me."

Zhang He said: "This expedition of thousands of miles will take three to five years. The soldiers are fighting far away from the Han Dynasty, and I am afraid that they will be unable to suppress their homesickness."

Lu Bu said: "Take my handwritten letter, go to the Guandu camp, ask Zhang Liao to transfer 30,000 veterans, and ask Gao Shun to transfer 30,000 reserve soldiers. The handwritten letter has stated that each soldier who goes on this expedition will be rewarded with one acre of cultivated land in his home. , one plowing ox, and hundreds of copper coins. After the achievements of the Northern Campaign, I will go to the Emperor to ensure that Wen Chou will be the three generals who marched to the north, Zhang He will be the three generals who subdue the north, and Chunyu Qiong will be the four generals who leveled the north. In this way, we can Can you suppress your homesickness?"

The three of them replied in unison: "This should be foolproof."

Lu Bu said: "In this case, you should go back and prepare, and say goodbye to your family. You are away on the war and cannot take care of your family. Send your parents, wives and children to Yecheng, and I will take good care of them."

Lu Bu's approach was also a method used by ancient monarchs to prevent the generals leading the troops from mutiny. After all, the three of them were Yuan Shao's generals, so they naturally had to be careful.

The three of them also knew what Lu Bu was thinking. After agreeing, they received the handwritten letter and left.

Lu Bu called Lu Weihuang again. Lu Weihuang was originally a general under Yuan Shao. After his surrender, because he was somewhat similar to Lu Bu, he was kept by Lu Bu's side and trained as his shadow double. He usually helped Lu Bu repair the Lu family's genealogy. Lu Bu has always had the idea that since the death of the last aristocratic Xiang family, there will be only gentry, big families, poor families, and common people left in the world, and there will be no nobles anymore, so he decided to regard the then Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei as the ancestor of the Lu family, and The three people of the previous dynasty, Lu Pheasant, Lu Ze, and Lu Shi, were included in the Lu family tree, so that Lu Bu became the queen of a famous family. Lu Ze made great contributions to the establishment of the Han Dynasty. Lu Fei was also the first queen in the world. They were all celebrities familiar to the people. This way they could get the support of the nobles in Hebei. After all, the Lu family was no less important than the Liu family. .

Lu Weihuang handed the repaired Lu family genealogy to Lu Bu. After taking it, Lu Bu opened it and looked at it. He nodded with satisfaction and patted Lu Weihuang on the shoulder: "Well done. There is one more thing you need to do now."

Lu Weihuang said: "The general was originally a small official, but he was reused by the general. No one dares to disobey the orders of the general."

Lu Bu smiled: "At this time, Yi'er, take my order and go to North Korea County, give it to Wei Muyong, and ask him to prepare 10,000 Han troops and 30,000 Korean slaves, and send them to Japan County to Gan Ning. Then give this painting to Gan Ning Give the map and letter to Gan Ning, and you can return to Yecheng."

Lu Weihuang said: "In the end, the general will definitely live up to his mission."

This map was drawn by Lu Bu based on the memories of later generations. Since the navigation technology and food storage technology at this time did not support reaching the American continent, Lu Bu only asked Gan Ning's navy to occupy the islands near the East China Sea and set up on each island More than a hundred Han soldiers and female slaves were left behind to cultivate the land and spread branches and leaves.

Of course, it would be best if we could occupy Maori Island. This is an island later known as Australia. It is rich in resources and has vast land. Moreover, at this time, the Maori people on the island are still in the era of slash-and-burn farming, facing the powerful Han army. , naturally vulnerable.

Spreading the civilization and conquests of the Han Dynasty to the Far North and the islands in the East China Sea was the main purpose of this eastward and northward expedition.
