250 The new and old alternate strengths, and the reason for sending troops to Liaodong.
"What the general means is to lock them up directly or directly "The young general who was called Ji Bu by Lu Bu was a little hesitant. Since ancient times, killing prisoners is ominous. If all the hundreds of Qin soldiers were killed, Ji Bu's nature is afraid that he will not even sleep well in a short period of time...
Lu Bu seemed to have seen through the concerns in Ji Bu's young subordinate, and smiled slightly and said, "It's not enough to kill them. Just let two hundred soldiers of the formation go to see these people. Although these hundreds of Qin troops cannot make a big difference, I don't want to suddenly hear the Qin troops behind us one day making a fuss on the supply line between us and Lelang County!"
"Abide by the order!" After knowing that he didn't have to kill the surrendered Qin soldiers, Ji Wen became energetic again. Ying Nuo said a word and turned around to execute Lu Bu's order.
Ji Wen died of illness and Zhong Liping grew old. Time passed too quickly. In a blink of an eye, these two old servants who had been in the battle against Chu have now left him. Looking at Ji Wen's son Ji Bu's energetic back, Lu Bu remembered that he had been traveling through time for more than ten years and was thirty-three years old, and he couldn't help but sigh.
However, although Ji Wen and Zhongliping have left, not only did Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi grow up, but Meng Yi, who is both civil and military, has officially returned to him. In addition, Yu Ziqi and Ji Wen, who are successful in martial arts, and Zhongli Ping's extremely outstanding descendants Ji Bu and Zhongli Mei, and the military faction of his small group, naturally increased instead of decline.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu felt secretly proud. The reason why he spent a lot of effort to recruit Ji Wen and Zhongli Ping in the Battle of Elimination was that Lu Bu's real purpose was because he was optimistic about the history of Ji Bu and Zhongli Mei... Now he finally got through until Ji Wenzi inherited his father's business and Zhongli Mei's academic success and came to his own command to serve. It was not in vain that Lu Bu had the thought that he had spent before.
Speaking of Lu Bu's willingness to appear in Liaodong County with 20,000 Qin troops who were originally part of the Qin team, this starts with the place where Lu Bu conquered the entire county of Lelang County before. At that time, Lu Bu faced two difficult choices.
One is to continue to hide his strength, wait for Xiang Yu and Liu Bang to capture the capital of Qin Xianyang with the historical trend, and eliminate the entire Qin royal family, which was under the concerns of the Qin army's soldiers, and then lead the army to fight for the world from the southwest of Lelang County with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, who had already formed a powerful force.
However, although this choice would make the soldiers in the army no longer have concerns about the old country, it would also make Lu Bu and his small group the target of the whole world and must fight against the princes of the world headed by Xiang Yu alone.
Another option is to take advantage of the chaos today, when Qin State's attention was completely focused on Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's Zhang Chu group, and the Xiang family's forces and the princes of the world had not yet fully formed a climate, decisively attacked and seized a large area of territory first and then competed with the Qin ** team and the princes who were both defeated.
Although this would make some of the tens of thousands of Qin soldiers in the army who were concerned about the old country and the possibility of an immediate mutiny by the thousands of the most elite imperial guards who followed Xu Fu to Lelang County to go out to sea. However, this choice would allow Lu Bu's small group to obtain a larger foundation than Lelang County as soon as possible, and lay a solid foundation for future confrontation against the princes of the world or the siege sent by the Qin State.
Lu Bu took out this problem and discussed it with all the civil and military officials under his command. Several people led by Meng Yi, Xiao He and Cao Shen all wanted Lu Bu to adopt the first plan to avoid the possibility of directly fighting with the Qin team. However, this faction led by Lu Ze, Lv Shizhi, and Yu Ziqi encouraged Lu Bu to adopt the second plan. In their opinion, if a large amount of territory could be seized as the foundation in a short period of time, the worst would be that the current Qin army's death soldiers and thousands of elite imperial guards would be dismissed with the armor they left behind to replace them in the local training office.
Just when Lu Bu was quarreled by the civil and military officials of the two factions, his wife Lu Zhi, who had been silently supporting him behind Lu Bu, stood up to analyze for him at this time.
Lu Zhi is a smart woman. She feels from the details of her life that Lu Bu is a strong man. Although this man has a strong desire for protection, it does not mean that he is willing to accept a woman protected by him to point fingers behind him. So over the years, Lu Zhi has always been at ease to take care of Lu Bu and her eldest son Lu De on Lu Bu's spacious back. With his son Lu De, the eldest son of Lu Bu, he steadily suppressed Yu Ji who gave birth to a daughter Lu Ting and Lu Yitou who gave birth to the third daughter Lu Yu, and became the veritable master of the backyard.
When Lu Bu was upset about a dilemma these days, although Lu Zhi wanted to help Lu Bu give advice, she was worried that Lu Bu was displeased with her involvement in military and political affairs, so she decided to use another way to solve the confusion in Lu Bu from the side and eliminate the troubles that troubled Lu Bu in his heart at a suitable time.
"Husband, although I am just a woman, I have learned a lot of business methods with my father in my early years. And when I see a dilemma, I will consider which of these two choices will bring the greatest benefits to me. Then even if this choice is not the one I like most, in order to get the greatest benefits, I will still make this choice." After Lu Zhi had acquainted with Lu Bu that day and night, she stroked Lu Bu's strong chest and said softly in Lu Bu's ear.
Only then did Lu Bu wake up as if he was dreaming. He wanted to get the best of both worlds, but there were many things in the matter that could not be the best of both worlds. Since this was the case, why didn't he choose to maximize his interests? So Lu Bu thought about the two plans for a little more, and announced the war preparation order the next day, and directly targeted the war's finger at Liaodong County, which was closest to Lelang County.
In order to avoid mutiny, Lu Bu chose to leave the thousands of the most elite guards of the imperial capital in Lelang County to guard, but the 20,000 soldiers who were brought with him were the 20,000 dead soldiers.
After all, compared with the thousands of imperial guards who came from the most elite troops of the Qin Dynasty, who were originally forcibly sent to the army for various most dangerous tasks because of committing crimes, their loyalty to the Qin Empire is not too high. I believe that as long as they do not fight against the Qin elite troops immediately, the morale of these deadly soldiers will not be reduced to the end, and their combat effectiveness will be preserved.
Now that Liaodong County was captured by Lu Bu almost without any effort, the remaining cities in Yan land attracted the most attention of Lu Bu was Jicheng, the capital of Yan State back then. As long as Jicheng was taken down, Lu Bu could radiate to the rest of the cities in Yan land with Jicheng as the center, and finally seize the entire Yan land, and also try the beauty of being the king of Yan land.
