Lu Bu still has great feelings for Bingzhou. It is not only his hometown, but also the place where he became famous. Most of this emotion comes from the residual influence of Lu Fengxian who has disappeared from this world, and from the fact that the souls of later generations are no longer what they once were.

Coldness, cruelty and willfulness are combined with love and benevolence, but once this emotion and benevolence are destroyed, the reaction that will erupt will be terrible, not to mention something that a small Bingzhou cannot bear.

It seems that from that day on, a wind of terror swept through all other places in Bingzhou except Shuofang and Shangjun.

But in fact, this great purge storm in Bingzhou official circles has just begun, and will continue to exert its power in the future, but Lu Bu no longer focuses on this matter.

In contrast, there was a more important thing attracting his attention now, which was the great cause of unifying and merging the states, and the first step to achieve this was to deal with the Southern Huns in Shuofang County.

Now Lu Bu is sitting in the seven counties of Bingzhou. He can be regarded as an out-and-out prince. He has an army of more than 100,000. He is already a medium-sized force that cannot be easily invaded by anyone. But if he is easily satisfied with this, he will stop.

The consequence is that others will soon catch up.

What Lu Bu wanted to do was to let others catch up, so he chose to continue to expand his territory before the situation in Bingzhou had completely stabilized. Strictly speaking, this was not even an expansion, because Shuofang was already included in Bingzhou, and Lu Bu could not

He was just exercising his right to reclaim as a state herdsman.

In the state pastoral system at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the highest official of a state has undoubtedly been transferred from the original governor to the state pastoral officer. As for the prefect, he is still below the two. However, by this time, the Han Dynasty was in turmoil and was directly appointed by the court.

The status and real power of the governors have been greatly weakened. Like Lu Bu and Ma Teng, they already had a certain degree of power, and were then appointed as state shepherds by the imperial court.

The Han Empire only has a total of thirteen governors. Muye Province is already an incredible power under the imperial power. Not to mention that the imperial power of the Han Dynasty is weakening now. Zhou Mu is just a prince, like a local emperor. In today's world, Lu Bu is also the oldest

He is a state pastor with the least qualifications.

But this is completely unable to satisfy his ambitions, nor can it allow him to take the initiative in the future situation. Moreover, this is not radical. This is a resolution that Lu Bu convened his subordinates to brainstorm and discuss. Chen Gong, Liang Le and others all said

To a certain extent, Jia Xu, Tian Chou and others outside the country also expressed their support through the contacts established with Lu Bu through letters.

Regarding the choice between Shuofang County and Shang County, what Lu Bu did was actually a difficult step first and then an easy one. The latter of the two made the Qiang people miserable due to the existence of Ma Teng in Liangzhou, so he had no time to pay too much attention to Shang County.

.On the contrary, Shuofang County now has no less than 200,000 Xiongnu troops stationed in it, including the local Xiongnu and the Xiongnu army led by Qubei.

These are still combatable troops. It can be said that Lu Bu has no advantage at all in terms of numbers, and even in terms of morale, since returning to Bingzhou, he has experienced wars with the Black Mountain bandits, Zhang Yang, the Huns and Yuan Shao's army. Lu Bu's army

The spirits of the soldiers were almost always in a state of tension. Even the hard-hitting men couldn't bear it. Even lunatics like Wang Cheng showed a trace of fatigue, but Lu Bu had to put them in front of the first enemy.

Location.

This brings us to the current situation in Shuofang County. Ever since Lu Bu put back Fuluo and Huchuquan, it was like letting the tiger return to the mountain. The two Xiongnu brothers were like fishes in water in Shuofang County. If there was no existence of Qubei, then

They are the well-deserved kings of Shuofang County and even the Southern Huns today.

Unfortunately, not long after they returned, they faced a huge survival challenge. Between Qubei and Humphrey, there was no room for two tigers in the mountain. Humphrey did not expect that the good man who always looked like a good man in front of him in just a short period of time.

The handsome King Youxian exchanged roles with himself, and spared no effort to attack him.

When the war came, an unprecedented catastrophe befell Shuofang County. There is no need to list the details, but this duel ultimately ended with the victory of Qubei.

Although the local Xiongnu power in Shuofang County is not small, and the two brothers of the Luan Ti family, Yufuluo and Huchuquan, have a high prestige among the Huns, after all, they have been away for too long and have to humble themselves against the tens of thousands of troops under their command.

The reorganization has been completed, but the reason why it has not been able to stabilize is just because of the secret resistance of the local forces in Shuofang County, but they only dare to do so in secret. This is enough to prove the development of the debasement forces.

The arrival of Yu Fuluo and his two brothers did bring excitement to the local forces in Shuofang County at first and a certain amount of unrest among Qubei's subordinates. However, after Qubei used thunderous means to control the situation, the situation gradually turned in his favor.

In the end, the two armies of Yufu and Luo fought a decisive battle with the two armies of Qubei, with more than 40,000 people on one side facing nearly 100,000 people on the other side. The final result can be imagined.

However, Qubei's victory was a tragic one. In terms of military strategy, he was not as good as Yu Fuluo after all. In addition, his thunderous methods also brought some side effects, causing some backlash among his men. The morale of the army was not so stable.

If his direct descendants hadn't finally stabilized the situation, it's still unclear what the outcome would have been.

And although Qubei finally won, he did not wipe out all Yuvluo's army. He only gained a relatively active and dominant position in Shuofang County. If Yuvluo took a breath, he would

Still have to struggle.

Therefore, it was a good time for Lu Bu to send troops to Shuofang at this time.

At this time, there were less than 50,000 soldiers left under his command, and many of them were wounded. It was time for Qubei to lick his wounds. Even if he thought that Lu Bu would come to deal with him, there was nothing he could do. Naturally, he was unwilling to sit back and wait for death.

But on the one hand, he has been injured, and on the other hand, what position Huvrault and the others will stand is something he must consider and worry about. After all, as the defeated party, Huvrault has very few troops left, but he

He has a deep foundation in Shuofang, and even if he lurks, it will be impossible for him to find him, and it will be like a thorn in his throat, making it difficult for him to sleep or eat well.

On the contrary, for Lu Bu, if this opportunity is missed, it will be much more difficult for Qubei to take a breather before attacking.

As for Shangjun, for Lu Bu, it can be solved later. After all, just like Yuan Shao was entangled in the situation in Hebei and had no way to take care of the affairs of the three counties of Yanmen, the Qiang people who occupied Shangjun were also occupied by Xiliang Ma Teng.

He was restrained and could not react to Lu Bu's momentum for a while. This was his good opportunity.

What's more, Lu Bu also knew that the threat from the Southern Xiongnu was definitely greater than that of the Qiang, and it was self-evident which one should be dealt with first.

Zhang Liao had previously requested an order to go on an expedition, but was rejected by Lu Bu at that time. However, in fact, Lv Bu did not need to ask for an order to go to the expedition, but he wanted to do it himself.

Bingzhou now seems to be full of waste, but it is no longer the time when he was needed to be in charge all the time. Especially with the surrender of talented people such as Qianzhao and Fengji, Lu Bu has more available people. They can

He has to share a lot of responsibility, and these new recruits need to be in an environment with more autonomy and trust to perform better. In addition, with Jia Xu secretly helping to watch, Lu Bu is not afraid to let go.
