In the early morning, Lu Bu was awakened by the sound of footsteps and instinctively touched Fang Tian Huaji beside him. When he looked up, he saw Hua Xiong walking towards him. By the river, the soldiers crowded together, some fell to the ground and never got up again.

The numbers Gao Shun said yesterday are probably not enough today.

"General, I have found out that there is Junyi ten miles east of here, and Zhongmu forty miles west of here." Hua Xiong said as he gestured on the ground twice.

Junyi? Zhongmu?

Lu Bu in Zhongmu still heard about it, but where is Junyi?

"Is this Junyi guarded?" Lu Bu asked.

Not all cities have defenders. Generally, the troops stationed in the army are strategic locations. For example, in Luoyang, in the absence of war, places like Gongxian and Pingxian will not be stationed, or even during wartime. At most, some county guards are responsible for the security of the city on weekdays.

Such cities are easy to attack, but at the same time there is not much military ration available.

"How far is this from the Huzhu?" Lu Bu stood up and hung Fang Tian's painting halberd on the horse's back, while the Snake Spear was hung on the back of another war horse.

"Not less than two hundred miles!" Hua Xiong bowed.

"Two hundred miles!" Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun in surprise when he heard this. He ran all the way yesterday. He didn't know how far he ran, but even Lu Bu felt quite tired. He still rode a horse. The more than 300 Northern Army soldiers who were running on foot could still run so far after fighting.

"That's right." Gao Shun didn't understand why Lu Bu looked at him in such a shocked face, and replied with his hands.

"At this time, I am back to Hulao Pass. Hu Zhen may not be willing to open the city for us, but this Junyi small town may not have much food and grass, Hua Xiong!" Lu Bu said while thinking.

"The last one is here!" Hua Xiong bowed solemnly.

"Take the cavalry and see if you can break into the city directly. If you go in, divide the troops and block the four gates immediately. We will repair this place here for one day." Lu Bu looked at Hua Xiong and said.

In a small city, there is no need to attack the city. It is best to be able to break the city directly. The soldiers are in their current state, and I am afraid that they cannot fight too fiercely. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Lu Bu, who woke up today, felt sore all over his body. He fought fiercely yesterday and slept in the wilderness for a night. This is why Lu Bu is strong and able to support it. Early this morning, several soldiers who could never get up could only be buried in the deep mountains and forests.

"Here!" Hua Xiong nodded, agreed, and went to mobilize the troops.

"Remember, after controlling the city, let the soldiers look for the rich households in the city to ask for food. If they don't give it, they will rob it directly. Ordinary families don't pay attention to it." Lu Bu shouted to Hua Xiong's back. He has been an ordinary citizen. In this era, even if there is food at home, he will be alive. If you really rob it, these people will fight you to death. It's not worth it. It's better to target the rich households from the beginning.

Hua Xiong agreed and took the people away soon.

Lu Bu has never been idle, so he asked Gao Shun to order his troops. Lu Bu can now confirm that all the soldiers of the Northern Army are elite. They may not be counted before, but after the baptism of a fierce battle yesterday, this Northern Army already has all the conditions for elite troops. Lu Bu is not going to hand over this elite troops. After experiencing Hu Zhen's incident, Lu Bu felt that he had to fight for what he should earn.

Moreover, after this battle, he should be qualified to open an office with Dong Yue, Niu Fu and others, which is also the reason why Gao Shun was staying. Although Hua Xiong got along well, he was the Western Liang army after all, so he should be promoted again. At that time, he could ask Dong Zhuo for some troops to join his command as his own. With Hua Xiong's contribution to this battle, Dong Zhuo may not let Hua Xiong and him, but Gao Shun can do it as the Northern Army.

"Zi Xiu." After cleaning up, Lu Bu stood up but did not rush to leave the forest, but instead recruited Gao Shun to his side.

"What are the general's instructions?" Gao Shun came to Lu Bu and intervened and said.

"It's not considered an order." Lu Bu said to Gao Shun as he walked: "If you can go back safely on this trip, there will be a reward. I will ask the court to ask you to come to my account, are you willing?"

Although Gao Shun is a stereotype, he is not a fool. Lu Bu said this, which is not the same as Lu Bu's previous talisman to receive troops. If he agrees, Gao Shun will be Lu Bu's member in the future, just like in the Western Liang army, Hua Xiong was actually Hu Zhen's person before, but Hu Zhen was jealous of the virtuous and capable, and kept suppressing Hua Xiong. Otherwise, although the two of them were nominally on the same level in this expedition, Hu Zhen could actually mobilize Hua Xiong's troops.

Lu Bu is similar. Even if there is any mobilization in the future, Gao Shun will obey Lu Bu first, and then the court, which is equivalent to being demoted to one level. However, the advantage is that with Lu Bu, you don’t have to be hungry and full as before, or even forgotten, and belong to the court in name. However, when everyone fights for power and profit, they treat you as transparent.

Actually, there is nothing to think about. After this incident, not to mention him, Hua Xiong may have the mark of Lu Bu. So Gao Shun just thought about it for a moment and bowed to Lu Bu: "I am willing to follow the general!"

Judging from the past three days of time, Lu Bu is not only good at fighting, is not panic when encountering problems, is calm in the face of danger, and is also in a moderate way to advance and retreat in adversity. Although his personality is a little straightforward, he is also a good leader. The most important thing is that Lu Bu will protect his subordinates. In the army, it is usually not too bad to follow such a general.

Lu Bu smiled. This was the first time he took the initiative to recruit people. Before... in fact, he had never said it clearly that Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Cheng Lian, Cheng Fang, Wei Yue and even Zhang Liao were all slowly gathered together in battles. Even if Lu Bu became the chief clerk later, he felt a little embarrassed. These people were still willing to listen to him when they went to the battlefield. This time, he took the initiative to recruit Gao Shun for the first time. Gao Shun's performance seemed ordinary in the past few days, but he spread his abilities to the entire Northern Army. Looking at the soldiers of the Northern Army, the first reaction was Gao Shun's soldiers.

In this fierce battle, Gao Shun and the soldiers of the Northern Army also proved their ability. This is an elite force. Even if there are only more than 300 people left now, in the future, with this Northern Army as the foundation, we will definitely build another army that is stronger than the current Northern Army!

And the commander of this army, except Gao Shun, Lu Bu could not think of anyone who could take over, even if Lu Bu was replaced!

The goal was achieved. Although he was still in danger now, Lu Bu was in a good mood at the moment. He rode his horse in the morning light. Looking at the scenery in front of him that was very different from the north, he felt a little urge to whistle to the sky...

"Ao~Woo~"
