Ju Su said in panic: "Last night, my subordinates' confidants in the family came to report to each other at night. Some of our Ju family met with Zheng Tai and others in private. When they met, their confidants heard some words such as "restoring a ragtag to ensure the interests of the aristocratic family while he was away. My confidants knew that something was wrong, so they flew to report the news."

Lu Bu's face was covered with clouds. Combined with the information Xu Shu noticed from Xingyang City, it seemed that Zheng Tai and others were launching a shocking plot.

Lu Bu stared at Ju Su. To be honest, he has always used Ju Su because of his talent, but Lu Bu has never had an in-depth understanding of his political stance. In this coming desperate battle between poor families and noble families, Lu Bu didn't know whether he should believe the person in front of him.

Ju Su saw Lu Bu staring at him like this, and knew that the lord had a grudge in his heart. He quickly kowtowed and said, "Lord, please believe in your loyalty to you. Although your subordinates have different views on the lord's iron serum removal of some aristocratic families, he also knows that some aristocratic families are so guilty that they must be eliminated. Otherwise, the great Han Dynasty would never have any peace of mind. If the subordinates have evil intentions, they would not tell the lord the news."

Lu Bu nodded. If Ju Su is really involved in this matter, he can keep his mouth shut and even persuade Lu Bu to stay here for some more days so that Zheng Tai and others can launch a coup

When Lu Bu thought of this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zheng Tai and others are all people who are not practical. They can't do it. Since we have defeated Dong Zhuo's army of 100,000 and Dong Zhuo has only 20,000 troops in Hulao Pass now. We will take advantage of the victory to fight to win Hulao Pass in one fell swoop, and then take advantage of the victory to take Luoyang City. Then we will then move our troops northward. How can Zheng Tai fight with this great merit?

Ju Su didn't know that Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo had a private alliance. Hearing that Lu Bu was so careless, he was so anxious that he sweated: "Lord, although Dong Zhuo only had 20,000 troops in Hulao Pass, he had 70,000 to 80,000 troops in the surrounding areas of Luoyang. Once Hulao Pass was attacked by his lord, the 70,000 to 80,000 troops would definitely be rescued at night. Although the lord could defeat these troops in the field, attacking Hulao Pass with such a dangerous pass that "one man should be the pass and ten thousand men will not open" will not be able to capture it in a few months. Zheng Tai and others merged with many aristocratic armed forces and could turn Jizhou upside down in an instant. The lord could not hesitate anymore. We must withdraw our troops."

Lu Bu still looked at Ju Su with a smile on his face, and Ju Su just realized: "What the lord means is that we will divide the troops into two groups, bluffing and continuing to attack Hulao Pass, and returning to Yecheng all the way?"

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Your Majesty and I think it's so good?"

Ju Su was always worried. After hearing what Lu Bu said, he suddenly felt relieved: "I believe that the lord will definitely be able to wipe out those who are ready to move like I defeat Dong Zhuo, just ask the lord to protect our Ju family's unrelated family members."

Lu Bu nodded: "My policy has remained unchanged. I only eradicate the black sheep from the aristocratic family and do not engage in large-scale implication of the official and the gang in the Military Affairs Council for one day. I guarantee that the interests of the gang in the Ju family will not only be violated, but will also be increased."

Ju Su kneels down and bows: "Jus Su thanks lord for his kindness and kindness"

Lu Bu helped Ju Su up: "The Duke and I, the king and the minister, have the same heart as each other, and their strength will be cut off the gold."

As soon as Ju Su left Lu Bu's central army tent, Guo Jia hurried to meet Lu Bu with a man.

The man was an envoy sent by Man Chong from the CIC Department. He ran several horses to death one after another. One day and one night, he rushed from Yecheng to the front line and brought Man Chong's most information: "Yang Biao, Zheng Tai, Bian Rang and others frequently went out in recent days to contact families in various places in Jizhou. They also secretly met with Lu Chong, Gao Lan and Lu Jun."

Yang Biao, Zheng Tai and others contacted various aristocratic families. Lu Bu was not worried, because no matter whether it was the winter training a while ago to eliminate those aristocratic families, or the princes of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other aristocratic families, Lu Bu saw that these aristocratic families had a large number of soldiers but did not have good training talents. Most of the children of aristocratic families had a proud life experience but no proud talents. But Lu Chong, Gao Lan, and Lu Jun were different. Lu Chong guarded Ye City, Gao Lan guarded Ye City outside Ye City, and Lu Jun guarded the four gates of Ye City. If these three people were bribed by Yang Biao, Zheng Tai and others, then Ye City would definitely not be defended. The families of the middle and senior generals of the Central Army were all in Ye City. If Ye City fell, Lu Bu really didn't know whether the Central Army could exist.

This is an unprecedented crisis

Lu Bu suddenly hated him. He did not have a thorough understanding of Lu Chong. Just because Lu Chong was Lu Zhi's nephew and had some talent, he recommended him to lead the army to defend Yecheng as the chief of Jinwu. He did not have an in-depth understanding of Lu Jun. Just because Lu Jun was Lu Xun's father, he recommended him to be the lieutenant of the city gate and lead the army to guard the four gates of Yecheng. He did not have an in-depth understanding of Gao Lan, just because Gao Lan was as famous as Zhang He and was a good friend, he actually let Gao Lan defend the guard city of Yecheng.

Seeing Lu Bu's expression strange, Guo Jia quickly said loudly: "My lord, don't worry too much. The families of our senior generals of the Central Army are all in the Central Castle. Chen Dao led the troops to defend the Central Castle, Wu Chong and Wang Yue led the troops to defend the Royal Palace. They are loyal to the Lord and have no friendship with Yang Biao, Zheng Tai and other ministers of aristocratic families. The Central Castle and the Royal Palace can still defend it in a short time. As long as we return to the army in time, we will definitely be able to eliminate these rebellions. Moreover, they only met with the three people. The result of the meeting is unknown. The subordinates concluded that these three people could not all surrender to Yang Biao and others. As long as one of them did not surrender to them, we have hope."

Lu Bu calmed down and quickly withdrew his troops back to Yecheng to prepare.

Lu Bu ordered Jia Xu to go to Hulao Pass quietly and informed Dong Zhuo secretly that the Central Army would continue to fake the Hulao Pass for three days.

Dong Zhuo guessed that Lu Bu knew that there was something going on in Yecheng, so he smiled proudly, and Yingnui would not change his alliance with Lu Bu.

Lu Buxun ordered Zhao Yun to be responsible for rectifying the 56,000 Xiliang prisoners, and first reorganized 10,000 combat soldiers, and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers to be a division. Zhao Yun was the commander of this division, and Hua Xiong was the deputy commander of the division.

Although Xu Rong and Zhao Yun's two divisions are known as cavalry divisions, they only have two cavalry brigades. The remaining three brigades are the bow and crossbow brigade, the knife and shield brigade, and the spear brigade.

In Lu Bu's army, there are only six divisions of Flying Tiger Guard Division, Zhang Liao, Xu Rong, Zhao Yun, Ju Yi and Zhu Ling. Except for the Flying Tiger Guard Division directly under Lu Bu, the other five divisions are arranged in this way. What is slightly different from Ju Yi is that the equipment of the Bow and Crossbow Brigade is not half bow and half crossbow, all of which are strong crossbows.

The reason for this arrangement is that although there are war horses, they have not quickly cultivated a large number of qualified cavalry. The farming nation cannot achieve hard work without a year or two in a year. Even Dong Zhuo's truly elite cavalry in the Xiliang army was only 20%. Second, the shortcomings of pure cavalry are very obvious and are easily cracked by the enemy with the joint tactics of chariots and infantry. Just like Lu Bu defeated Xu Rong's Xiliang cavalry twice, Lu Bu also realized in the military practice of recent months that a division should be a ** combat unit, and it cannot be only one type of troops, and must be mixed with infantry and cavalry.

So when Lu Bu led the army to attack Dong Zhuo, he made some adjustments. Zhang Liao, Ju Yi and Zhu Ling's division had two cavalry brigades, one crossbow brigade, one sword and shield brigade, and one spear brigade. Other divisions had one cavalry brigade. The remaining crossbow brigades, the sword and shield brigades, and the spear brigades were adjusted according to their respective situations. For example, Zhang He was also good at using halberds and had commanded the halberds in history. There was a halberd brigade in his division. All the halberds were heavy helmets and armor. The same was true for Gao Shun's division. There was an elite vanguard brigade. All the soldiers were heavy helmets and heavy armor. When he waved the halberds, Huang Zhong was good at using archery. His division had an elite archery brigade.

The number of guard divisions of Lu Bu has doubled, with 20,000 people under its jurisdiction, including three cavalry brigades, one teaching brigade, one Xuanfu brigade, one powerful crossbow brigade, one long spear brigade, one knife and shield brigade, and one Pili chariot brigade, the most powerful Pili chariot brigade. Because it belongs to Lu Bu's Guard Division, other divisions need to be approved by Lu Bu before they can be recruited and coordinated. The teaching brigade and the Xuanfu brigade are actually cavalry brigades.

All military commanders and generals above the division must be selected from the teaching brigade of the Lu Bu Guard Division. All levels of military commanders and generals at all levels must be selected from the Xuanfu Brigade from the Xuanfu Brigade. The talents they recommend will generally return to their commands. Those who are particularly outstanding will be left by Lu Bu in the Guard Division.

The remaining 36,000 Xiliang prisoners were reorganized and 10,000 combat soldiers were added to supplement other teams.

The Central Army dispatched 40,000 soldiers and 40,000 auxiliary soldiers to attack Dong Zhuo. In addition to the battle just now, more than 4,700 soldiers and more than 4,200 auxiliary soldiers were killed in the battle, in the first two battles, some soldiers were disabled due to injuries. In addition, some veterans over 40 years old and could not keep up with Lu Bu, so they let these disabled soldiers go. After this battle, the veterans retired with generous retirement fees and dozens of hundreds of acres of military merit fields. After the soldiers returned to various counties and counties to serve as instructors or return to the local governments to serve as security chiefs, the injured soldiers of the Tingwei, after the veterans retired, their files were still retained in the Central Military Affairs Council. They are still brothers of the Central Army. If they are bullied by powerful families and corrupt officials in the local area, the Central Army will definitely stand up for them.

The last 16,000 prisoners of Xiliang were mostly slick, had bad habits, and were still loyal to Dong Zhuo. Lu Bu felt that instead of keeping such people, it would be better to recruit some simple farmers to train.

In history, Qi Jiguang was inspired by the slickness, laziness, greed for life and death and difficulty in training in the Ming Dynasty, so he recruited soldiers in Yiwu. His standard for recruiting soldiers was four, four, four, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Lu Bu also reorganized the captive soldiers, and also referred to Qi Jiguang's material selection standards. He stipulated that people who have held positions in the government should not be slick, and they are greedy for life and death, and are prone to greed for small gains; people over 40 years old do not need them, their physical strength cannot keep up with the actual combat training of the Central Army; people with erratic vision do not need them, such people are weak in will and cannot resist pressure (to be continued)
