Qin Yilu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you for your kindness and never give up, Qin Yilu is willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses!"
Qin Yilu had long been tired of being the magistrate of Zhi County, but no one at the top was busy climbing up.
Apart from Lu Bu, he didn't know many high officials, but in the past few years, he had moved the capital and killed Dong Zhuo.
This time I heard that Lu Bu had become the shepherd of Xuzhou. Qin Yilu came here specially to continue to curry favor with Lu Bu and see if he could work under Lu Bu.
Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, Lu Bu actually invited him to join!
Lu Bu added: "You just have to be loyal when working under me, and secondly, you have to not be afraid of hardship and hardship. Can you possibly bear it?"
Qin Yilu hurriedly worshiped: "It is Qin Yilu's lifelong wish to follow a wise master like Enhou! Enhou, just rest assured, let alone endure hardships, Qin Yilu will not even frown even if he is facing mountains of swords and seas of fire!"
A satisfied smile appeared on Lu Bu's face: "Very good, then you can go back and pack up, and bring your family to Pengcheng. I will be of great use when the time comes!"
In troubled times, it is common for advisers and generals to change their families and even surrender before battle.
In order to avoid this problem as much as possible, princes from all walks of life will force their family members to live with them. This is called protecting and caring for their subordinates, but in fact, it is a disguised form of using their family members as hostages:
If you dare to surrender to me when you go out to fight, I will kill your whole family!
So Lu Bu asked Qin Yilu to bring his family to surrender, and everyone present didn't think there was anything wrong.
Who knew that Lu Bu had an idea for Qin Yilu's wife?
Qin Yilu said: "Enhou, since you are fighting Yuan Shu, why not I stay in Zhi County temporarily, and when the time is right, I will open the city gate to welcome Enhou's army to enter Zhi County, wouldn't it save some energy? ?”
Qin Yilu originally thought that he would not be able to do anything as a civil servant, so if he brought a whole city to surrender to Lu Bu, he would be considered to have made some achievements.
How did he know that Lu Bu had promised the land of Yuzhou to Cao Cao?
Moreover, in a small county like Zhi County with a population of more than 10,000 people, the city walls are low and dilapidated, and the city cannot afford many soldiers to defend the city.
In fact, there is no need to attack at all. Generally, the army will surrender the city when it crosses the border. Very few people will resist and defend the city waiting for rescue.
But Lu Bu said: "It doesn't have to be like this! If you really offer your city to me, Yuan Shu's petty mind will definitely be jealous of you.
Your martial arts are mediocre, and the city of Qi County is small. If Yuan Shu really leads his troops to attack, how can you deal with it?
Just come here with your family, and I will put you to good use! "
"Thank you for taking care of me!" Qin Yilu felt grateful and a little regretful at the same time.
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Have a rest today and go back tomorrow. Just pack your luggage and bring your family over.
There is no need to bring anything heavy and cumbersome. I will have you tied up and prepared.
Now you can be considered an official under Yuan Shu. Tell me, what is Yuan Shu like? "
Qin Yilu naturally didn't speak well of Yuan Shu, and he had never met Yuan Shu a few times, so he picked up a few comments about what the world thought of him.
The content was lackluster, and Lu Bu was not very interested, so he asked about the human geography around Zhi County.
Just as he was talking, someone came from outside to report: Wei Xu is back with his fleet!
Suddenly Wei Xu came in, his body covered in dust and dust, his face sunburned and red, like a man chasing the sea.
Lu Bu also greeted him again.
"Lord! Fortunately, Wei Xu lived up to his command and captured more than two thousand Hu slaves this time! And a lot of livestock, dried meat and leather!" Wei Xu said with excitement.
Lu Bu seemed very happy and poured a bowl of wine for Wei Xudao with his own hands: "It's been a hard journey! Have a glass of wine to quench your thirst!"
"Thank you, lord!" Wei Xu picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp: "Master, please tell me how to arrange these slaves!"
Lu Bu didn't even bother to look, and said directly: "Mi Zhu, go and cook.
Dig coal, build the city, and take advantage of the slack to rest and renovate the irrigation canals on your and Tao Qian's farm.
Next spring, after the new city is built, these slaves will be sent to work in the fields. "
Mi Zhu agreed and went.
Lu Bu asked again: "How is the situation over there in Hu State?"
Wei Xu said: "Those barbarians in the state have become smarter now and refuse to submit honestly. Not only that, they even organized thousands of people to resist!"
"Oh? Are there any casualties among the brothers?" Lu Bu asked with concern.
Wei Xu looked proud: "Hey! These barbarians don't have many decent swords in their hands, let alone long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows.
Most of them also use wooden sticks, shovels, etc. as weapons. Hitting the armor and shield will not cause any damage at all!
It's just that many barbarians from Qingzhuang Prefecture were killed in the fighting. It's a pity that they couldn't be taken back as slaves...
After suffering several losses, he no longer dared to resist, but he learned to be cunning. When he saw us going to arrest someone, he mounted his horse and ran away.
The barbarians from these states have superb riding skills, and they always swarm them, so it’s really troublesome to catch them..."
Qin Yilu was dumbfounded at that time! What the hell is Zhou Hu State? What does it mean to capture a slave?
Lu Bu shook his head slightly after hearing this: "Since it is difficult to capture the slaves of Hu State, there is no need to work so hard.
Hu State in Zhouzhou is just a small place, and since it raises cattle and sheep, the folk customs are inevitably a little tougher. Then next time go to Sanhan or Japan to arrest people!
There are a lot of people and a lot of farmers there, so if you capture them you can open up wasteland for us to grow food! But who should be allowed to go..."
For a while, people were forced to arrange a banquet, not only to welcome Qin Yilu to join him, but also to attract the attention of Wei Xu.
Instead, Wei Xu became the protagonist during the dinner.
Although most people are not willing to go out to sea to capture slaves, it is quite interesting to listen to Wei Xu bragging about the latest news in Hu State.
"Wei Xu, you think there is no good wine and good meat over there, right? Come on, come on, have one more drink!" Hou Cheng raised his glass.
Wei Xu laughed and ate the wine and said, "Of course there's no fine wine there, but I eat meat every day, I should be tired of it!"
After a few glasses of wine, he even started chatting about how to lead hundreds of people to chase thousands of people from the state Hu State and run all over the mountains and plains.
How to loot, set fire and loot from tribe to tribe.
Although Wei Xu deliberately avoided it, the speaker had no intention but the listener had the intention, Qin Yilu also got the general meaning.
When going overseas to plunder, Lu Bu only wanted people, livestock, leather and other goods. He didn't seem to care much about the gold and silver plundered from the local area, and rewarded them all to the soldiers who participated in the robbery.
A man, with a group of wolf-like soldiers, bullied men and women in a wild land, burned, killed, and looted!
Although I heard that the women there are short and ugly, there are so many of them! No matter how ugly it is, out of hundreds or thousands of people, how many people can still find it pleasing to the eye? You can do whatever you want there, you can make a fortune, and you will be rewarded when you come back!
Wei Xu's life there was simply more enjoyable than that of the Tu Emperor!
If you live happily outside for ten or eight years, if you grab more gold and silver, wouldn't you be able to enjoy your old age in peace when you come back?
I wonder if Lu Bu would let him do such a good job?
