Wangwushan.
Since Sima Zhao was captured alive, the troops stationed in Bingzhou also withdrew.
This made Guo Zi's reputation skyrocket.
Word spread everywhere that Guo Zi had set up ambushes and traps along the road, so that the officers and soldiers did not dare to act rashly, and finally had no choice but to evacuate the place.
Guo Zi sat in the upper position and looked at the many "generals" in front of him.
Liu Lu sat next to him. Liu Lu was now a popular figure next to Guo Zi, and he was also an upstart on Wangwu Mountain.
He is more suitable to deal with these people than Guo Zi.
Even more suitable than Wang Yuan.
Although Wang Yuan was the first person to raise the banner of resistance, after all, he came from a powerful family and also served as a ranger, but there is a difference between a ranger and a ranger.
In the past, some children from wealthy families also liked to be rangers. They usually brought their slaves to hang out with their friends.
And a powerful young man like Wang Yuan also likes to hang out with his tenants or servants.
Only those from common people like Liu Lu could be considered the lowest level of rangers.
Liu Lu is quite similar to these thieves in the mountains in terms of their life experiences, speech styles, and everything else.
After making a public appearance next to Guo Zi, Liu Lu began to have contact with bosses everywhere. In a short period of time, he became a celebrity in the mountains, had frequent contact with various figures, and became their good friends.
Compared to the bureaucratic Wang Yuan, it was easier for Liu Lu to become friends with them.
Here he is as comfortable as a fish in water.
Even Guo Zu couldn't help but praise him: You are simply a born thief! I was born to be a bandit!
Of course, Liu Lu also played a role in Guo Zi's matter.
Liu Lu found the leaders and told them: The reason why Sima Zhao retreated was because of Guo Zui. He made up many stories about Guo Jun's unparalleled strategy and forced the army to retreat. At the same time, he relied on the fact that the people in the mountains did not know the classics. He made a false accusation that Guo Zi exchanged letters with Sima Zhao and cursed Sima Zhao in the letters, causing Sima Zhao to leave in shame and anger.
These leaders actually believed it.
For a time, Guo Zu became a god who planned to retreat a million-strong army.
His prestige became even higher, and even more thieves came to defect. Liu Lu's reputation also increased, and everyone considered him to be the most powerful general under Guo Gong.
Today, these leaders are gathered in the mountains.
Guo Zi had a stern face. He had not really integrated into these thieves' groups. He still had the style of a celebrity. He probably still looked down upon these people in his heart and only focused on doing his own thing.
However, among these thieves, it seems that such a person is really needed.
If they were ordinary thieves, it would be difficult to keep so many people from thinking otherwise.
Guo Ji read out several recent orders. In short, they were to open up land, establish households, organize manpower to make tools, etc.
They say they are thieves, but in fact they are poor people who cannot survive.
Why did the Han people in the frontier fortress gradually turn into barbarians?
Because I can no longer survive on farmland.
Why did the people in the Central Plains become bandits?
The same goes for this.
The benevolent government of the temple made it impossible for them to survive. They couldn't afford to pay taxes. If they didn't pay, they would be arrested and punished. So what else could they do except go into the mountains and become bandits?
Including Zhang Yan in the past, he said that he gathered hundreds of thousands of thieves in the mountains, killed and tyrannically, and went down the mountains to plunder. In fact, the hundreds of thousands of thieves in his hands were just hundreds of thousands of common people who were not recognized by the temple.
Zhang Yan led those people not to plunder all day long, but to cultivate in the mountains and establish their own cities. Zhang Yan was equivalent to an unrecognized prefect or a larger county magistrate.
The same is true for Guo Ji today. The most work he does in the mountains actually has nothing to do with robbery, but is still the way to govern the place.
Guo Zi finished speaking as usual and left the place quickly without stopping.
But no one was in a hurry to leave.
Liu Lu looked at Wang Yuan opposite him with a smile, "General Wang, I have completed everything you asked me to do. What do you think?"
Wang Yuan looked at Liu Lu in front of him with a very ugly expression.
Liu Lu's rapid rise aroused Wang Yuan's vigilance, so he relied on his status as a veteran and began to order Liu Lu to do some major things.
His original intention was to suppress Liu Lu, and he arranged many difficult things to do.
For example, let Liu Lu go down the mountain to plunder, to find out the enemy's movements, or to prepare food tools and so on.
But Liu Lu didn't know what the situation was. No matter how difficult the errand was, he could do it perfectly.
What Wang Yuan told him didn't bother him at all.

The original intention was to suppress Liu Lu, but in the end it was to help the other party become famous, which allowed Liu Lu to completely stabilize his footing in the mountains.
This cannot be blamed on Wang Yuan's ignorance. This is purely because Liu Lu cheated. He and the people outside the mountain were originally in the same group. Wang Jing, the captain of the Sili School, personally came to help. He wanted some food and tools, and wanted to rob some evil-doers. It's too easy to be so strong and rich.
Wang Jing directly helped him adjust the lowest difficulty level and assisted him throughout the process.
Wang Yuan also realized something was wrong at this moment. How could Liu Lu accomplish so many things so easily?
But now that Liu Lu is in the limelight, he can't say much.
"Congratulations to Mr. Yang! Mr. Yang has made great achievements again. It won't be long before he surpasses us old men."
Wang Yuan said.
Liu Lu laughed, brother, your divorce plan is too immature, isn't it?
He said: "You are the first to go up the mountain, and the other generals will follow. The order is not that important. Everyone has the idea of eradicating the traitors and serving His Majesty. However, due to the distance, there is not enough time to come. It’s just sooner or later.”
"The order of going up the mountain doesn't mean anything. What's important is personal talent. Those who have made great contributions and have talent should be in high positions. But those who have no talent and no merit will sooner or later be replaced even if they stay in high positions. , what do you think?"
Wang Yuan was suddenly speechless.
The leaders around him smiled and nodded.
Wang Yuan wanted to win over those who went up the mountain first to deal with Liu Lu, who came up the mountain later. However, Wang Yuan and his confidants went up the mountain first and occupied most of the high positions. Those who came after him were regarded as the people who came up the mountain later. .
Wang Yuan's strategy and courage are very good, especially among the thieves in the mountain, but Liu Lu has done a lot of big things in these years, went to a lot of places, and met a lot of things. The experience and knowledge of both parties are not of the same level at all.
To give a simple example, the best fighter Wang Yuan has ever seen is Liu Lu, and the best fighter Liu Lu has ever seen is Wen Yang.
This is where the gap in knowledge lies!
Liu Lu did not continue to pursue the opponent. He looked at everyone and said seriously: "Everyone, although this enemy has left temporarily, the Sima Dog Thief's desire to destroy us will not disappear. I heard that they We have already begun preparations and will come to attack this year. We must prepare first."
Liu Lu seemed to be the master of this mountain, but everyone was convinced by what he said.
After reminding everyone not to take it lightly, Liu Lu let everyone leave. When everyone left, he couldn't wait to walk to the mansion where Guo Zhi was.
Wang Yuan looked at this scene coldly, and a confidant on the side said: "You are really a flatterer!!"
"I run to Mr. Guo all day long, so I know how to confuse Mr. Guo!"
Wang Yuan didn't speak, but he was deep in thought.
How to deal with this troublesome opponent?
Liu Lu quickly walked into the mansion. Guo Zhi was waiting for him. When he saw Liu Lu coming in, he quickly asked: "Is there a letter from His Majesty?"
Liu Lu smiled and took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Guo Zi.
"This is!"
Guo Zu couldn't wait to pick up the letter and then read it carefully.
The emperor did not reveal his identity in the letter. Instead, he chatted with Guo Zi as an old friend and talked about a lot of things around him, but they were all metaphorical, and ordinary people would not be able to understand them even if they got them.
Liu Lu has now established his own channel for delivering news, has contacted Cao Mao, and received the emperor's order.
Guo Zi looked at the letter in his hand and was quite moved.
He hid the letter very seriously, and then looked at Liu Lu, "Then what other orders does your Majesty have?"
The letter only contained greetings, expressed feelings of longing for her, and explained her situation. There were no orders.
Liu Lu came back this time with the emperor's order.
Cao Mao hopes he can weed more.
The emperor said that there are too many weeds in the cultivated land today. If you want to make the cultivated land fertile, you must first remove the weeds and then cultivate it again.
In order to carry out this matter better, Cao Mao also gave him suggestions. He hoped that Liu Lu could organize water thieves so that they could start from the river and go to various places on both sides of the river to carry out weeding work.
Sima Shi's behavior brought enlightenment to Cao Mao. The rich people will also die. The emperor cannot kill them, but the rebels and thieves can!
Liu Lu was already preparing to carry out the work. He already had a list of some weeds. The weeds were also divided into levels. Some must be removed, some must be removed partially, and some cannot be touched.
But Liu Lu was not prepared to inform Guo Zhi of these important events.
Guo Zui himself comes from a rich family and has a stubborn personality. He will not support such a thing at all. Let him know that maybe he will write a letter to the emperor, asking His Majesty not to do such atrocious things, which will hinder Liu Lu.
Liu Lu said with a smile: "Your Majesty asks you to do your best to appease the people here and don't let them starve to death. Your Majesty will send people to slowly receive them and let them become common people of Wei again."
Guo Ji said very seriously: "I accept your order!"
Liu Lu comforted him for a few more words before walking out and looking in the direction of Wang Yuan's courtyard.
Companion Guo Ji can't do this, but Wang Yuan can do it. This person's ability and courage are actually extraordinary. If he can be brought to his side, the weeding thing will probably go more smoothly. ? ?
