Chapter 25 The Return of Recruitment
Chapter 25 The Return of Recruitment
Looking at Lv Bu's education, Xu You asked with a smile, "What are you going to do? What about your neighbors - those foreigners?"
Hearing that Xu You wanted to examine Lv Bu's national policy, Lv Bu was a little helpless and didn't know how to say it. According to the view of the ancients, it is naturally "not our race, its heart must be different". However, in terms of the attitude towards foreigners, there are also two policies: Huairou and iron-blooded.
Since Xu You came to test Lv Bu, it is naturally not that simple. However, Lv Bu looked at Xu You's confident appearance and already knew that Xu You had something to say. He said sincerely, "Please teach me, sir."
Xu You laughed and asked Lv Bu, "I think of my big man over the years, there have been ten permanent servants in the court, and the locals are even more powerful. The Han Dynasty has accumulated danger and is difficult to return. At this time, even if the court wants to eliminate foreigners, I'm afraid it is powerless. Although your father is the governor of Wuyuan, I'm afraid he can only protect himself with the strength of a county. I'm afraid it's not so easy to really convince foreigners.
Although Xu You said this politely, Lv Bu was like a mirror in his heart. Although Lv Bu was just a nobody in the future, he also knew the truth of "war and logistics". Now there is a crisis in Wuyuan County, and even the city of Wuyuan County has been taken by the Huns. This is still the Xiongnu who is weaker on the grassland. If you fight against the Xianbei people who are the most powerful on the grassland now, I'm afraid that this little family background of Wuyuan County is not enough to toss around.
Thinking of this, Lv Bu sighed and said, "Sir, if you have anything to say, just say." Lv Bu looked like he was humbly asking for advice.
I only heard Xu You say, "I think that Gou, the king of Yue, finally defeated the State of Wu. And today's big man lacks such a kind of salary and gall. At present, Wuyuan County is devastated and has no power to fight. Why don't you persuade Ding Yuanding Taishou to learn from the king of Yue and taste the courage. After waiting for a few years, the soldiers have enough food, and then Yang my big man's voice on the vertical horse grassland.
After listening to Xu You's words, Lv Bu nodded.
Xu You saw Lv Bu's appearance, nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "If you can sleep on firewood and taste gall with Ding Taishou, Xu You was originally a blind date with the father of Wuyuan County, and he would also do his best."
Speaking of this, Xu You said mysteriously, "I don't know if Mr. Lv has heard of Zhen in Jizhou."
He said that Xu You paused here and gave Lv Bu a little time to react.
But Lv Bu was not ambiguous, so he thought about it. In Lu Bu's opinion, Xu You alone is surprising enough. However, looking at Xu You's appearance when he mentioned the Zhen family, he thought that the origin of the Zhen family was much bigger than that of Xu You. Lv Bu suddenly remembered something: Cao Pi's wife seems to be surnamed Zhen.
Lv Bu couldn't help but be surprised. You should know that when Cao Pi married his wife, Cao Cao Cao was already very powerful, but when he chose a wife for Cao Pi, he chose the Zhen family, which shows the power of the Zhen family. Lv Bu secretly looked at Xu You with suspicion. Is this Xu You working for the Zhen family again now?
Thinking of this, Lv Bu was much more at ease. After clarifying Xu You's position, it will be easy to do.
Thinking of this, Lv Bu replied to Xu You, "Please make it clear, sir."
Xu You finally said with a smile, "The Zhen family is a famous family. The prince is still young, and there is nothing to know. Let me put it bluntly. I have been responsible for the business here for Zhen in the past few years. In the past, when the county magistrate was there, we had been trading with foreigners through him. Use salt and iron from the inland in exchange for foreign horses and fur. Now you have taken over Jiuyuan County, and your father has taken over the position of governor of Wuyuan County. I don't know if you would like to do this business with me.
Xu Yougao for a long time and said so many words. It turned out that he wanted to find Ding Yuan through Lv Bu and do this business together.
Lv Bu finally understood what Xu You meant. Seeing that Xu You has also made a lot of efforts for this visit, which also shows that the profit of this business must not be small.
Lv Bu smiled and said secretly, "Since you are so urgent, don't blame me for knocking you up."
Thinking of this, Lv Bu's face first hesitated. Then he said, "What you said is true, but I'm afraid our father and son can't help you with these things."
As soon as Xu You saw Lv Bu's face, he had a bad feeling. As soon as he heard Lv Bu's words, his face was full of disappointment. It's just that he asked Lv Bu unintentionally, "Does the prince think my analysis is wrong? Does the prince think that the current strength of Wuyuan County can fight against foreigners? You should know that once we cut off the foreign trade, the war with the foreign people will be imminent.
Lv Bu said helplessly, "Sir, I don't know anything about the loss of Wuyuan County this time. Once I report to the court, I'm afraid my father's position of the governor will be at the end. There is still so much consideration."
As soon as Xu You heard Lv Bu's words, he became relaxed and said, "The prince was worried about this. Nowadays, the trend of buying officials in the imperial court is prevalent. In Xu You's humble opinion, it is not a big deal that money can understand things. Well, as long as the prince agrees to let us do business in Jiuyuan County as before, I can pay the prince for a year first. Although this money is not much, it is enough for your father to go to Luoyang.
Lv Bu listened to Xu You's words and felt a trace of joy in his heart. But the face is as calm as a waterway: "In that case, thank you, Mr. Xu You."
After saying that, Lv Bu got up and saluted Xu You to express his gratitude.
It's really a good thing. I didn't expect that Xu You was so straightforward that he easily promised to give Lv Bu so much money. Lv Bu is not worried about the business cooperation with Xu You in the future. Anyway, the war will be ordinary in a few years. At that time, who will recognize your small county government? It's not that there are soldiers and food, just say it. Why not do it if you can make more money now and increase your strength?
After sending Xu You away, Lv Bu ordered all his newly recruited 2,000 soldiers. Fortunately, the war in the border areas has been ordinary over the years, and every family has a sword. The children on the grassland are not short of horses.
In this way, Lv Bu didn't spend much money, so he had a cavalry of 2,000 people.
Lv Bu, with his 2,000 cavalry, set out for the city of Wuyuan County that night. The next day was the arrival time set by Ding Yuan for all kinds of reinforcements. Lv Bu must rush outside Wuyuan County in advance to participate in the battle against the Huns. Only in this way can Lv Bu make a better impression in front of Ding Yuan.
At the same time, in Wuyuan County, the Huns were baptized for several days. Finally, a good Wuyuan County was ruined.
