When the group entered Jinyang City, the soldiers and civilians in the city had never seen so much military supplies and food, and they came to watch.

When they saw the wolf cavalry battalion wearing fang masks and fully armed, they couldn't help but sigh: "I also have such an army in Bingzhou. They are like heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals!"

Lu Bu asked Zhang Liao and Gan Ning to command the sergeants to move half of the supplies into the Jinyang treasury, and went to see Ding Yuan alone.

"Master Ding, in accordance with the decree of the imperial court, Bu is in charge of the military and political affairs of the state. This is the imperial decree. Take a look." Lu Bu took out the imperial decree.

Ding Yuan took the imperial edict and read it, "I see General Zhenbei and Master Zhou Mu. I am originally from Taishan County, Yanzhou. I was ordered by the late emperor to take charge of Bingzhou. I am really powerless. The general has arrived today, so I will be useful in the future." In this place, I will never give up even if I die."

"Jianyang, please come up quickly. You have made great achievements in governing the local area in the past few years. I hope that you will take the post of governor of Taiyuan County." Lu Bu helped Ding Yuan up.

"My lord, Taiyuan is the administrative seat of Bingzhou. Your Excellency should be in charge personally. I will never dare to overstep my bounds." Ding Yuan said.

"Don't refuse Jianyang. Bu has decided to move the government to Wuyuan County, so you can rest assured to govern Taiyuan. I will never interfere." Lu Bu said.

"Wuyuan is a border county, and the four surrounding counties are all occupied by Xianbei. They are far less prosperous than Taiyuan. I don't understand why the lord moved his headquarters." Ding Yuan asked.

"To tell you the truth, I have made up my mind to fight the Xianbei people. If Xianbei is not destroyed, it will be a trouble in the future. I have decided to rest and recuperate for a year, and then I will attack Xianbei in a big way. I must wipe out their race." When saying these words. , Lu Bu's every word was resounding, which showed his attitude and determination.

"I admire your lord's ambition. I will govern Taiyuan well and guard the rear for the general so that he will have no worries when fighting Xianbei." Ding Yuan was moved by Lu Bu's righteousness and made up his mind to assist Lu Bu well.

"Taiyuan is entrusted to Jianyang. I want to transfer Wenyuan. I wonder if brother Jianyang can part with his love?" Lu Bu asked. After all, Zhang Liao is Ding Yuan's subordinate. No matter how much he likes him, he must obtain Ding Yuan's consent.

"My lord is the supreme commander of the Bingzhou Army. It is my lord's responsibility to allocate manpower. You don't need to ask me. Wen Yuan is brave and can definitely help the general." Ding Yuan said.

After the two handed over the military affairs of Bingzhou, Lu Bu redistributed the five counties of Bingzhou: Ding Yuan was the governor of Taiyuan County, commanding 10,000 troops; Zhang Yang was the governor of Dingxiang County, commanding 5,000 troops; Hou became the governor of Shangdang County, commanding 5,000 troops. Thousands; Song Xian was the governor of Yanmen County and commanded five thousand troops; he, Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Hao Meng, and Wei Yue commanded thirty-five thousand troops and were stationed in Wuyuan County.

In terms of government affairs, the governors of each county are responsible. In addition to the "Kill Hu Order", each county will implement the "Tuntian Order" starting from this year. Lu Bu taught everyone the farming methods he learned from Cao Cao.

Lu Bu believed that in just one year, the Bingzhou army would be self-sufficient and would no longer need to requisition food from the people. After all, in ancient times, food was the most important strategic material, and many people became soldiers just to have something to eat.

Lu Bu ordered the gentry in Bingzhou to hand over their private soldiers and land, and redistribute the land to farmers and the army. This approach offended many gentry.

But Lu Bu had only one way to deal with those stubborn nobles. He suppressed them with iron blood. The men were sent to work as coolies, and the women were used as camp prostitutes together with the captured Hu women. The common people had been oppressed by the gentry for a long time, and they all applauded.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Bu personally cooked moon cakes and steamed buns, distributed them to the generals, and promoted them in the military and among the people.

There were more types of food for the people and soldiers, no longer just Hu cakes and wheat cakes, and people praised Lu Bu one after another.

For a time, there was a situation in Bingzhou where "I only knew that there was Lu Bu, but I didn't know that there was an emperor."
