Chapter 6 Small Goals
Is this money more?
It's a lot, but not a lot!
One hundred thousand Hu people plundered five counties on the Bingzhou border, and most of the money was taken back by him, so it could reach nearly 100 million.
But this money is nothing compared to the Central Plains family and the wealthy families.
Not to mention anything else, the wealthy family of Xuzhou alone records that there are child servants, nearly 10,000 diners and assets of over 100 million!
The Mi family is just a wealthy businessman and is far from comparable to a wealthy family!
Not to mention the "Four Generations and Three Dukes" Yuan family, such a top family.
Of course, in Wuyuan County, 80 million yuan is already a huge wealth!
"Eighty million yuan, plus more than ten thousand good horses, is a good starting capital!"
In front of Gao Shun and Hao Meng, Lu Bu's face was normal, but his mind was turning quickly and he was secretly calculating.
As soon as he came over and learned about the current situation of Wuyuan County and his identity, he had a small plan in his mind.
This is also another important reason why he insisted on chasing the Hu people for thousands of miles.
Killing the enemy and showing off its power and shocking the surrounding Hu tribes is one of them. Seizing good horses on the grassland and regaining the property robbed by the Hu people is the second.
Although I don’t know the specific era, and I don’t know how long it will take before the chaos in the world and the separatist rule of the princes, since I have become the world’s number one general in this era, how can I do it for nothing?
He made up his mind early in the morning to use Wuyuan County as the starting point and secretly accumulate strength to wait for the time!
What time?
Of course, it was a series of major events such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo’s chaos in the dynasty, and the separatist rule of heroes!
It is not too easy for him to know the changes in the world in the next few decades and do something to profit from it!
"Now I have money and a lot of war horses, but I still lack a name!"
Lu Bu thought to himself.
It is not that simple to develop one's own power.
Although Wuyuan County is located in the border and far away from the core of the imperial court, the Han Dynasty system is still sound, at least on the surface, and it will not allow local support and independence.
Without a suitable name or official position, even if Lu Bu has a very high prestige in Wuyuan County, it is difficult to develop his army.
After all, no matter how high his prestige is, he is only more than four hundred years old than the prestige of the great man among the people.
However, if he was the prefect of Wuyuan County, it would be reasonable to develop the army.
It is normal for the magistrate of the frontier to build an army to defend the country!
What is Lu Bu’s current official position?
The thief Cao.
He is directly under the county magistrate, responsible for the thieves in the county.
He was almost the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau in later generations.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Lu Bu is not considered a general, because his position is not in charge of the army, but in charge of the police in the county.
The person who truly controls the army is the commander.
Here we will talk about the basic structure of county officials in the Han Dynasty.
The top leader is of course the prefect of the county, and is under the command of the Luoyang court.
The chief minister or county magistrate who assists the county magistrate, the chief minister or county magistrate who also assists the county magistrate and the commander who is in charge of the army, is also appointed by the Luoyang court.
Simply put, the three positions of county magistrate, chief minister, and chief lieutenant are all assigned by the court, with county lieutenant as the main one, and chief lieutenant as the auxiliary one.
Then there are all the officials in the county.
These official positions were all arranged by the county magistrate.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if the county magistrate Zhu Zan died in the battle, it would not be the turn of Lu Bu to take charge in Wuyuan County, and there were also the chief and the chief lieutenant.
The problem is that Wuyuan County has not had a chief minister and a chief lieutenant for seven or eight years!
Because the court has not made any arrangements.
Why didn't it be arranged?
Who knows!
Anyway, the predecessor doesn't know.
Although there is no commander, as a frontier, Wuyuan County certainly has an army, and it was formed by the county magistrate.
The county magistrates in the Han Dynasty had very great power, and they were not just as simple as dealing with civil and government affairs, but rather as a real local emperor who was responsible for the military, government and civilians.
This is why, after the prestige of the Han Dynasty continued to decline, so many princes emerged everywhere.
Have this foundation!
When the prestige of the Han Dynasty disappeared, the Chief Secretary and the Chief Commander were useless and could not compete with the county magistrate at all.
Let's not say much off topic.
Since his youth, Lu Bu's reputation for being brave and invincible has been known to everyone in Wuyuan County.
Therefore, the imperial court has not arranged a commander, in the past few years, the army of Wuyuan County and the Superintendent Zan were handed over to Lu Bu to lead.
Therefore, although Lu Bu was a thief Cao, he was actually the commander of the commander.
"pity!"
Thinking of this, Lu Bu sighed secretly, a pity.
From the memories of my predecessor, I learned that before the Hu people invaded the south, the governor had promised to recommend him as the commander next year.
In the Han Dynasty, there was always a recommendation system. If the county magistrate Zan recommended him, the matter was basically secure.
But who would have thought that before the recommendation was recommended, Du Zan was killed by the Hu people first!
"Let me become the captain first... forget it!"
Shake your head and stop being disrespectful to the dead.
"If you want to develop your own power, the thief Cao Cao's status is low!"
Lu Bu thought again:
"However, the county magistrate, chief secretary, and chief lieutenant are gone. The prestige of Wuyuan County before is in Wuyuan County, there is no problem controlling Wuyuan County for a short period of time!"
"According to later records, after Duzhan, Wuyuan County had no prefect, so it was impossible for the Chief Secretary and the Chief Commander to have it!"
"Then, with my reputation in Wuyuan County, it should be fine to temporarily serve as the county magistrate!"
"But the temporary generation is always just a temporary generation. You must become a regular person as soon as possible and get the real appointment of the court!"
"That's it!"
"First control Wuyuan County in essence, secretly develop its own army directly under you, and then look for opportunities to gain the position of county magistrate!"
His eyes were faint, and in a blink of an eye, countless thoughts flashed through Lu Bu's mind.
"Set yourself a small goal, start with the county magistrate!"
I made a decision silently in my heart and looked at Gao Shun and Hao Meng.
"Zi Xun, Zhiying, make more dry food at night. Tomorrow morning, we will set off and return to Jiuyuan County!"
Lu Bu said.
Jiuyuan County is the county seat of Wuyuan County and the hometown of Lu Bu himself and most of the army.
The border troops were generally formed by locals.
The frontier areas have always been tough in the people and are the best candidates for military recruitment.
Moreover, the people here are usually suffering from the plunder of the barbarians. They are willing to fight against the Hu people. They are very active in joining the army, and they basically have no words to say.
The Han people were never afraid of joining the army!
A strong man, a strong man is not just a casual talk!
Even in the current Han Dynasty, all aspects have begun to decay, and its foundation is quite considerable.
Shortly after Gao Shun and Hao Meng left, Zhang Liao came to report on the situation of the war horse collection.
"General, we collected 2,571 war horses, all of which were good horses on the grassland!"
Zhang Liao bowed and said.
This is of course.
Those war horses were ridden by the Hu people themselves. How could they not be good horses carefully selected from the tribe?
Of course, it is impossible for Red Rabbit to have such a magical horse!
Speaking of Red Rabbit, Lu Bu was a little resentful.
I don’t know if I can still get the Red Rabbit. Is Lu Bu who doesn’t have the Red Rabbit or a complete Lu Bu?
Later, Song Xian and Wei Xu found the nearby water source, and brought the soldiers to hundreds of water bags and carried them back to the camp on horseback.
When it started to dark, all the tents of all the soldiers sleeping were set up, and Cao Xing also returned with more than 500 war horses.
That night, Lu Bu ordered people to kill dozens of seriously injured horses and have a sumptuous dinner.
Although there are so many horse meat, although the number of soldiers is over 100, they cannot be eaten. Most of them are made into jerky meat as military rations for the future.
Although it is late autumn, fresh meat cannot be stored for too long. Only by making it into jerky can it be guaranteed to be edible after several days.
The road back to Jiuyuan County was thousands of miles long, and the army was accompanied by a huge herd of horses. It took less than ten days and half a month to rush back.
Chapter completed!
