Chapter 50 Encounter at the city gate
Liao Hua said: "We waited for a day in Xuzhou. Master Wang Heng said that he would be more energetic after eating soybeans, and arranged for a variety of arrangements. Each car was loaded with 600 kilograms (han kilograms).
"Okay, it's a bit difficult to push a single person with a wheelbarrow load of 600 kilograms," said Lu Bu.
"There is no big problem with flat roads. It just happened that two people were in a group, and one person in front was pulling it." Liao Hua said, pointing to the convoy.
Lu Bu looked and said, "Then you go as soon as possible. Take a day off tomorrow and return to Xuzhou the day after tomorrow. I will go back to Xuzhou first."
"It's the lord."
Liao Hua took people to Teng Kingdom, and Lu Bu went south to Xuzhou.
In the south of Xuzhou, two thousand acres of vegetable fields are next to it.
The Wenhou water truck built by Mojun Carpenters shop is constantly irrigating clear river water into the vegetable fields. The faint cabbage is green and white. In late March, the cabbage grows very vigorously, but it has grown to a foot high in more than 40 days.
These days, the soldiers were afraid of being poor and had enough to endure hardships.
The soldiers almost didn't eat much for the whole winter, and now a good day has finally come.
Three meals a day, at least two meals can be eaten with vegetables.
There is very little oil, but there is enough salt, so the soldiers can eat enough vegetables.
In just half a month, the soldiers' bodies were obviously stronger than before.
Liu Dazhuang is one of the fire-headed troops in Zhang Liao camp. This morning, he and more than a dozen companions came to collect vegetables.
There are more than 1,000 soldiers in Zhangliao Camp, which can be regarded as elite soldiers.
More than a dozen Huotou soldiers started collecting vegetables after breakfast. According to logistics requirements, they only need to pull out the big ones, and the small ones remain and continue to grow.
A total of five wheelbarrows were pushed, and more than a dozen fire-headed troops returned to the camp in a mighty manner.
When he reached the city gate, the wheelbarrow that Liu Dazhuang was pushing met a young man riding a chrysanthemum horse head-on.
The little cabbage was too tender and the horse stretched out his mouth and took a bite of the vegetable from the wheelbarrow.
This young man was wearing silk clothes, and his horse was a rare chrysanthemum and green horse. This kind of horse was blue and white with white hair and slender limbs, which is a very rare good horse.
If it were an ordinary soldier who had become a soldier, he would have known that this guy could not afford to offend him and he would have no idea who the young master would have forgotten it.
But Liu Dazhuang was a soldier in Xiliang. He was afraid of being poor. He ate sorghum porridge for a winter. Finally, the general arranged to plant vegetables and eat pickles. How could he let the horse eat it?
Liu Dazhuang said: "I won't watch my food when I ride a horse."
It’s nothing wrong with Liu Dazhuang saying this, but the young man couldn’t stand it. With a wave of the horse whip, it was a whip that looked at Liu Dazhuang’s face.
There was a bloodstain.
"The thief is with the army, and you will look down on you after eating a few vegetables." The young man had a bad temper.
Liu Dazhuang put the cart on and cursed: "Who are you? Xuzhou is the world of Wenhou now."
The young man wanted to whip again, and the other fire-headed soldiers persuaded him: "Forget it, it's okay to eat a few bites of food, hurry up and go back to cook."
The young man was cursing and relentless.
At this time, Lu Bu's army happened to arrive, and Lu Bu saw this scene.
This kind of thing was very normal in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Because soldiers are either guilty or cannot survive at home, and have no wages to be paid for by the soldiers and are treated poorly, they are not respected.
Lu Bu pointed to the young man with a halberd and said, "These soldiers are all the faces of their generals. If you draw the soldiers, you will draw the faces of their generals and capture them back to the camp."
The young man quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Wen, I am a Mi family in the city. I accidentally bumped into your army and hope that Marquis Wen will calm down."
Lu Bu looked at this kid suspiciously, Mi family?
"Accidentally bumping? I think you clearly used a whip to slap people. Did he slap you on purpose?" Lu Bu asked Liu Dazhuang.
"Yes." Liu Dazhuang said.
"Take it down and take it back to the camp." Lu Bu shouted.
There was no way Lu Bu did this kind of guy? Several personal soldiers went up and pulled the young man off the horse's back, and even locked the man and horse.
Several followers behind the young man fled home in a panic and went home to report the news.
Lu Bu returned to the military camp happily, and he didn't delay the fight with rabbits. He still gained something when he arrived at the city gate.
Seeing Lu Bu return to the camp, the sentry on duty raised his hand to salute.
Cheng Lian immediately came up and bowed to him, "The lord is back."
"I'm back, thank you for your hard work in the general. Two new brothers, Feng Xiong and Hua Ji, are here, and you can take them over and settle down." Lu Bu said.
Fenggong is the word Lu Bu gave Cheng Lianqi.
Cheng Lian saw it, the group of horses at the end of the team were just.
"It's the lord, I'll make arrangements now."
Cheng Lian went to settle two new deputy generals, each with a separate room at the deputy general level.
Lu Bu waved his hand and called Lu Tong over and said, "Detain this guy in the barracks beside the White Tiger tent, arrange a few reliable soldiers to look at him, and do not abuse him. Let's talk about it when his elders come."
Lu Tong smiled and said, "Don't worry, lord, we must take him seriously."
"Why are you laughing at? Do you guys have any bad ideas for you guys who are thin and tender? If you dare to do anything randomly, military law will be ruthless." Lu Bu reminded.
Lu Tong shook his hand in fear and said, "No, no, I don't like the little white face. The general just felt funny. This guy was so arrogant that he should be unlucky when he met the general."
The army settled down, and Lu Bu arranged for the soldiers to prepare hot water to take a bath by himself.
As soon as he changed his clothes and came out, Chen Gong arrived.
"Lord, can this trip to Teng Kingdom go smoothly?" Chen Gong asked.
Lu Bu shook his head and said, "It's so miserable. Several villages are hungry and eat. I used to distribute seeds and grains to 3,000 households and open a porridge shed. It's a small achievement, saving more than 10,000 people."
Chen Gong bowed and said, "Lord is kind. But what happened to those two thousand horn bows? Who did the lord ask for?"
"The descendants of Lu Ban were made by the public. There were nearly two thousand people in a farm, and there were six or seven hundred first-class craftsmen. They could do all kinds of bows, archers, siege equipment, but they only recognized the money." Lu Bu exclaimed.
"Just accept the money, we have the final say in our territory. Did the lord arrest the young master of the Mi family on his way back just now?" Chen Gong asked.
Lu Bu smiled and said, "You are here to be a lobbyist."
"How can we be? We are one. How do you plan to deal with this kid?"
"What's going on with this Mi family? Do I remember that the Mi family followed Liu Bei to Xiaopei? It's really hateful that tens of thousands of people were asked to take him away." Lu Bu sighed.
"The lord is talking about the Mi Zhu family. The Mi family in Xuzhou is Mi Zhu's cousin, named Mi Hong. Mi Hong is in his forties and has a wealth of 100 million yuan. He can be considered a wealthy man, but he is far inferior to the Mi Zhu family. However, now that the business in Xuzhou City has declined, the Mi Hong family can also rank in the top three." Chen Gong introduced.
The first family is of course the Chen family. Chen Gong is a big family and is also a businessman.
The second family is Cao Ping's family, which is Lu Bu's brother-in-law's family.
The third one is Mi Hong family, the Mi family’s side branch.
