"Win a battle?" Yuan Shu frowned and looked at Sun Ce and said, "Lu Bu's courage is known to everyone in the world. How do you win?"

Yuan Shu likes Sun Ce very much and knows that this child can fight, but being able to fight is one thing. Do you have to see who you fight with? To beat Lu Bu? And you still have to win?

If Yuan Shu had this confidence in the past, but the 150,000 army was beaten by others and only 30,000 were left. Now the Nanyang soldiers were also defeated and defeated. Zhang Xun was beaten to ask for help. In this case, Sun Ce came to Yuan Shu and told him that he wanted to win a battle. Yuan Shu wanted to spit on his face.

If you remember correctly, your father was beaten to death. You, a young boy, said that you can beat Lu Bu at this time. Do you look down on your father or me?

Yuan Shu's expression on his face was a little unhappy at this time.

Sun Ce shook his head and said, "The general of the Mo is in a grudge against Lu Bu for killing his father, and he wishes he could eat his flesh and tear his bones. However, the general of the Mo is also self-aware. At this time, Lu Bu's reputation is in great power, and the general of the Mo is definitely not his opponent, let alone win!"

"What do you mean?" Yuan Shu's expression slowed down, and he frowned and looked at Sun Ce and asked.

In this situation, Yuan Shu was considering how to write an apology letter to Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu could stop. This stupid boy wanted to beat Lu Bu in a roundabout way?

"Duke Yuan, this time Lu Bu's attack on Nanyang is famous, but Liu Biao also came to intervene, but it is not. I will only be willing to challenge him on behalf of Duke Yuan!" Sun Ce said with his fists.

That's right, he can't beat Lu Bu, so he can't fight at this time, because Lu Bu takes over the righteousness. As long as he fights Lu Bu, no matter what posture is wrong, but Liu Biao can do it. Although he has only intervened recently, I have no grudges and grudges with you. Why do you hit me?

"Of course, before this, Mr. Yuan should ask for peace with Lu Bu first!" Sun Ce said with a look of surprise when he saw Yuan Shu.

Can this still be done?

Yuan Shu looked at Sun Ce in surprise. The generals in the tent also had similar expressions. What does it mean to be unable to beat Lu Bu and Liu Biao?

But if you think about it carefully, there is some reason. If you can't beat Lu Bu, it's because Lu Bu is too cruel, the terrain is not good, the weather is not smooth, the people are uneven, and the Jianghuai army is not adapted to the climate of Nanyang, but it's okay to beat Liu Biao. As long as you clean up Liu Biao, it at least shows that although Yuan Shu is not as good as Lu Bu, the other princes still want to clean up as they want.

At least we can find some face and prove to the world that our army is not bad, but because of various unfavorable factors, we were defeated to Lu Bu.

"Fight!" In the end, Yuan Shu slapped the table and said fiercely: "Liu Biao dares to attack our army, Sun Ce!"

"The last one is here!" Sun Ce bowed to Yuan Shu and said.

"How many soldiers do you want?" Yuan Shu looked at Sun Ce and said.

"If Mr. Yuan gave me 20,000 troops, he would definitely defeat Liu Biao completely, so that he would not dare to cross the Han River lightly!" Sun Ce said with his fists.

"Twenty thousand?" Yuan Shu frowned a little. Do you need so many people to hit Liu Biao?

After this defeat, even if Yuan Shu had a big family and a big business, he could not recover at once. Now there are only 30,000 soldiers in Luyang, and Sun Ce took away 20,000...

This is not the time when we first set out.

Zhou Yu coughed lightly and said, "It's not difficult to defeat Liu Biao, but Bo Fu wanted to fight Yuan Gong to prevent Liu Biao from being offended again. He just wanted more to seek peace of mind. From Yu's point of view, if he just wanted to defeat Liu Biao, one... eight thousand horses would be enough!"

Zhou Yu observed Yuan Shu's expression and finally decided on eight thousand.

This is still a big deal for Yuan Shu, but it is no longer unacceptable. Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Duke Yuan, our army was defeated in a trap. Although it is not a human fault, it is urgent to win a victory to stabilize the morale of the army. The generals will inevitably be exhausted when fighting for days. Why don't you let me wait for a try?"

"Well, Sun Ce, it will be convenient for you to have eight thousand soldiers and horses. This battle must be won!" Yuan Shu nodded finally and settled the matter.

"The last time we will definitely live up to Mr. Yuan's entrusted!" Sun Ce responded with a sigh and said goodbye and left.

"Lord." Sun Ce left, Yan Xiang looked at Yuan Shu and hesitated for a moment: "Lu Bu is in a strong position. Now Liu Biao, Cao Cao, and Tao Qian are also ready to move. In this battle in Nanyang, our army is indeed a mistake in the great righteousness, now..."

"If you have something to say!" Yuan Shu also understood what Yan Xiang wanted to say. Although he was unhappy, he asked him to fight Lu Bu again. First, he was anxious and could not gather many soldiers. Second, if he lost another game, Yuan Shu would have nothing.

"I think the lord should send an envoy to send Ma Riyi back to Lu Bu first, and then discuss with Lu Bu. He is willing to give up Nanyang to redeem this sin. What do you think?" After Yan Xiang said that, he lowered his head, and he did not dare to go to see Yuan Shu.

"I not only have to apologize to kill my soldiers, but also have to give in to Nanyang!" Yuan Shu glared at Yan Xiang. Although he was ready for heavy bleeding, he gave in to the entire Nanyang. How could he bear it?

Although Yan Xiang knew that Yuan Shu would be angry, at this time, he had to let Yuan Shu understand what reality was. He clasped his fists and said, "Lord, most of Nanyang has been obtained by Lu Bu now, and Nanyang is too far from Shouchun, so it is really difficult to take into account both. This big defeat is even more..."

Seeing Yuan Shu's face look ugly, Yan Xiang hurriedly said, "So, it is better to give Nanyang to Lu Bu, which is a good deal. Lu Bu holds great justice in his hand. If he can make Lu Bu well, he can also take an official position like a new official!"

Why did Yuan Shu detain Ma Riying? He didn't know that this was disrespectful to the court? Of course he knew, but so what? First of all, Ma Riying did have many benefits. Secondly, after Lu Bu took charge of the court, he gave up the position of general to Yuan Shao, but he was just a senior general. Why?

It was precisely because of this that Yuan Shu initiated this battle. According to his idea, he was to completely defeat Lu Bu and then force Lu Bu to let the court make him the prime minister. It doesn't matter whether the emperor wants to be the emperor, but Yuan Shu has a higher official position.

Unexpectedly, he was beaten by Lu Bu in the end and lost most of his face.

Yuan Shu nodded silently when he heard this. Even if the court could not re-establish the prime minister and let him do it, he would at least have to give him a three-month position?

After hearing what Yan Xiang said, Yuan Shu's face improved a lot, and he nodded and said, "In this way, let's discuss with Lu Bu, as for Ma Riban..."

"Master Ma must be sent back first!" Yan Xiang reminded that Ma Rishi is the root of this battle, and other things can be used as conditions, but Ma Rishi cannot. This is not a condition, but must be sent back.

Yuan Shu nodded unwillingly and ordered people to take Ma Riyi to Nanyang, and then hand it over to Yan Xiang to deliver it.

Lu Bu was indeed conquering cities and territories during this period, but the attack speed was not too fast. He was more responsible for the public opinion orientation of Nanyang.

Guanzhong lacks people and has a large area of ​​land belongs to the court. Now the court wants to recruit people from Nanyang to plant it. Because it is the land of the court, there is no need to pay taxes. Only 30% of the harvest every year is paid as rent and tax, and the rest of the cultivated land belongs to the farmer.

Although it sounds like a tenant farmer, it is much better than plowing land in the fields of aristocratic families.

Those with land can also go to Guanzhong. As long as it can be proved to be their own land, two acres here can be exchanged for three acres of the same level, and there will be no change to fertile land. This is clearly stipulated in the list.

As Lu Bu took most of Nanyang into his hands, large-scale migration began. A large area of ​​farmable fields appeared in Jingzhao, which just happened to move the people of Nanyang there.

As for whether there will be gentry or tyrants who exchange their own land for more land, that's fine. Lu Bu welcomes it, but when you get there, you have to follow the rules. Although you use these lands, they belong to the court. You cannot be like your own family as in the past. You have to pay the tax you should pay. Once you commit a crime, the court can take back the arable land at any time.

Moreover, there are regulations on the income of tenant farmers. You don’t give as much as you want, and there is a lower limit.

In short, the rules and regulations are all outward. Some families have begun to leave Nanyang with their families, but now it is time for wars to occur frequently, and those with a scale of more than 100 people must be investigated.

Then those who are unwilling to leave their hometown can stay. If you want to leave the rest, you will not stop them. However, you have to pay for money, food and cloth to pass the levels, otherwise you will not be able to negotiate.

In short, even if someone can go out to leave Nanyang, not to mention scraping the skin when leaving, basically the property capacity will shrink by half.

In this case, Lu Bu will not stay, but Nanyang's real estate belonging to your family will have to be confiscated.

After the surrendered soldiers in various counties in Nanyang were surrendered, they began to speak out that most of these soldiers were from ordinary families and naturally praised Lu Bu's new laws.

Of course, there are many problems. During this period, thieves and bandits appeared frequently in various places. The generals under Lu Bu were fighting against the thieves everywhere. As long as they dared to emerge, they would immediately face the fierce attacks of the soldiers of Xiliang. For a time, although there was no big battle in Nanyang, small battles were continuous.

In short, Lu Bu only needs to do one thing, to draw the people of Nanyang to Guanzhong as much as possible. Without these, what should those gentry and wealthy families do?

He could only attract traffic from outside, but not Guanzhong. Then the population resources were chosen first by the court to plant official fields, and then the aristocratic families divided themselves and then snatched each other's people.

Then Li Ru would stay in Nanyang as the prefect of Nanyang for a period of time. At that time, he would enter the next stage, causing internal struggles between the gentry and the tyrants, and then select suitable ones to attract the court to provide some talents for Lu Bu.

Of course, these are all later stories.

"The Grand Tutor is tired!" Wancheng, the official hall of the yamen, Lu Bu accepted Ma Riyan brought back by Yan Xiang and smiled at Ma Riyan.

Ma Riyan's face was a little complicated. He didn't expect that he would cause such a big battle. What he didn't expect was that Lu Bu actually won. He didn't know whether he should be happy or disappointed. When he was on a mission to Guandong, he was determined to unite the princes to defeat Lu Bu. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu was the one who made things difficult for him in the end, but Lu Bu was the one who saved him.

"Thank you, Mr. Wen, for taking action, I'm so grateful!" Ma Riyi sighed and bowed to Lu Bu.
