Chapter 184 Disarmament

Chapter 184

"Pound? You mean Pound is injured and needs Fufeng to rest for a few days? When Lü Bu heard Pound's name, he said with some surprise.

"Yes, Brother Lv Bu, I have to trouble you with this matter." Ma Chao looked at Lv Bu with a surprised expression. I felt strange. It was impossible for Lv Bu to know Pound, but he thought that maybe Lv Bu had heard of Pound's reputation, so he didn't ask more questions.

"Brother Ma Chao, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of Pang De." Lv Bu hurriedly agreed. Lv Bu can't ask for a general like Pound, but how can there be a reason not to take good care of them? At the thought of having a good relationship with the two now, there will be more opportunities to take Ma Chao and Pang De as subordinates in the future, and Lv Bu's heart is in love.

"General, what do you think is the purpose of Yan Xing and Ma Chao coming this time?" Watching Ma Chao and Yan Xing leave in a hurry, Zhang Liao asked thoughtfully.

"Ha ha, what purpose can they have? They are nothing more than afraid that we will find trouble for them after destroying Beigong Boyu, so they just send Beigong Boyu's head to please." Lv Bu hadn't answered yet, but Zang Ba on one side said first.

"Although Ma Teng and Han Sui also have the meaning of making friends with us, they also have other meanings. Didn't you see that Ma Chao and Yan Xing came together? And there are also signatures of Han Sui and Ma Teng on the letter. This is what Han Sui and Ma Teng are warning our army not to be their enemies, because they have formed an alliance. Lv Bu said with a smile.

"Haha, what's so great about their alliance, prince? The two of them allied with Beigong Boyu, and they were also defeated by us, didn't they? Now the two of them have formed an alliance for a bird. Dian Wei said carelessly.

"Today is different from the past. Although Han Sui and Ma Teng also cooperate with Beigong Boyu, the conflict between them is even greater. Over the years, the Qiang people have been strong and run rampant in Liangzhou. It is also reasonable for Han Sui and Ma Teng to borrow us to get rid of the Qiang people. Moreover, the benefits brought by Beigong Boyu's death are enough for Han Sui and Ma Teng to share for a while. At this time, Han Sui and Ma Teng will naturally unite. They will not understand the truth of dead lips and teeth. Lv Bu said after thinking for a moment.

"General, what should we do now?" Zhang Liao listened to Lv Bu's words and asked after coming out.

"It's need to say that the next thing we need to do is to rectify the armaments. After these days of war, our cavalry was almost lost, leaving only 5,000 men and horses, and then all our remaining cavalry were not included in the wolf horse. In addition, Wei continued to go to Tianshui and trained 5,000 cavalry for me in Tianshui. Speaking of rectifying armaments, Lv Bu first thought of cavalry. In this war, Lv Bu's cavalry played a vital role and suffered great losses, especially in this last battle against Beigong Boyu, Lv Bu's cavalry lost more than half, and the wolf horse alone lost more than 2,000 people.

"Yes, the last general is in command." When Wei Xu heard that Lv Bu asked him to train the cavalry, he moved and replied happily.

"In addition, you informed Gao Shun, but he streamlined the troops of Tianshui and left me with 10,000 elites." Lv Bu took a look at Wei Xu and continued to say.

"This? Lord, do you think about this matter? When General Gao Shun went to Tianshui, he brought 20,000 people to the headquarters. These people have almost no loss. It's a pity to streamline it like this. Wei Xu's heart was moved, and he couldn't bear to reduce 10,000 horses at once.

"Yes, General, these soldiers are well-trained. They are either our Bingzhou Army or the former Northern Army. It's a pity to cut them like this." Hou Cheng also hurried forward to persuade him. Although the other generals didn't say anything, they were full of doubts. Obviously, they had the same views as Wei Xu and Hou Cheng. Only Zhang Liao seemed to think a little at this time.

"Do you know why the general asked us to go to Xiliang?" Lv Bu saw the expressions of the crowd and said with a dark face.

"This, the villain doesn't know." Wei Xu shook his head and said.

"One of the reasons is that we are not the direct line of the general. We stay in Luoyang, and some people are worried." Lv Bu simply pointed out the reasons behind it.

"What? How could this happen?" The generals were surprised and looked at each other and were a little overwhelmed.

"So we need to streamline our own troops and reassure them." Lv Bu nodded and said.

"But General, the war is not over yet. Once we streamline our troops, Ma Tenghan will fight. What should we do?" Wei Xu still asked with some worry.

"Hahaha, what do you think Ma Teng and Han Sui are dealing with Beigong Boyu with us? Are you afraid of us? Let me tell you, Ma Teng and Han Sui are really afraid of the 100,000 troops behind us. With Niu Fu and Guo Wei in Chang'an, no matter how bold Ma Teng and Han Sui are, they dare not easily hit Yongzhou's idea. The reason why I came this time is just the courage of the 100,000 army of Beigong Boyu, but even so, once Ma Teng and Han Sui saw the defeat of Beigong Boyu, they resolutely chose to turn against Beigong Boyu. Lv Bu said the reason word by word.

"General, Niu Fu and Guo Yan are just two mediocre talents. Why do Han Sui and Ma Teng care so much about these two people?" Zhang Liao frowned and asked.

"Haha, General Zhang Liao looks at people very accurately. Although Guo Yan and Niu Fu are not powerful figures, they have the guidance of a master, so we should be careful." Lv Bu smiled and did not give a profound answer. Well, the matter of the layoffs was settled in this way. Tianshui left 10,000 infantry, 5,000 cavalry, and Fufeng left 15,000 troops. In addition to my 5,000 wolf horses, our army officially staffed 35,000. As for the elite soldiers and horses that have been abolished in the two places, they are organized into the county soldiers of the two counties. Lv Bu hesitated for a moment and finally decided.

"Yes." There was no response to Lv Bu's final decision, because in this way, Lv Bu was equivalent to weaving the most elite soldiers and horses under his own, and the abolished ones were re-selected into county soldiers. In the end, most of the soldiers and horses that were cut were the county soldiers of the two counties. In this way, although the name of the Western Expedition has been reduced a lot, the actual combat effectiveness has not decreased but increased. Of course, the cavalry is an exception. The loss of the cavalry must be too great to recover for a while.

"Dian Wei, Zang Ba, from today on, you two will be assigned to my wolf rider together, and you will be assigned to a thousand households." Lv Bu then said to Dian Wei and Zang Ba.

"Yes." Dian Wei and Zang Ba looked at each other and smiled. They had wanted to follow Lv Bu for a long time, but they had never had a chance, and now it has finally come true.

"Zhang Liao, I ordered you to draft our army's battle report to Chang'an and Luoyang respectively. That is to say, I have 6,000 people in the Western Expeditionary Army. After a bloody battle, I finally destroyed 100,000 horses from Beigong Boyu, a Qiang. At the same time, our army also suffered heavy losses. Now there are only 35,000 people left. Han Sui and Ma Teng have withdrawn from Yongzhou. And agreed to return Longxi and ask for the next step. Lv Bu talked about the general situation.

"General, is this too general?" Zhang Liao listened to the report that Lv Bu asked him to write.

"Haha, I think someone will naturally report the detailed situation to them. As for the loss, who knows except for us? As long as we say what it is." Lv Bu laughed and didn't care.

After completing all kinds of military affairs, Lv Bu sent Wei Xu to Tianshui to train the cavalry, and let Zang Ba take the wolf to rest. He took Dian Wei to Pound's camp outside the city and came to visit Pound. The reason why he took Dian Wei with him was that Lv didn't feel that Dian Wei and Pound had a lot of similar places. Maybe the two could talk and pave the way for him to get married Pang.

"Excuse me, this is General Pang's camp. I'm General Dian Wei. My son, General Lv Bu, came to visit General Pang De. Why don't you report it immediately?" Lv Bu and Dian Wei came outside Pound's camp, and Dian Wei immediately went over and said to the soldier guarding the door.

Lv Bu looked up and saw that the huge camp was silent, and there were traces of war everywhere, all of which showed the suffering suffered by the big camp. There were ruins and broken walls everywhere. Some injured soldiers leaned against the edge of the tattered fence to bask in the sun. They groaned and ignored Lv Bu and Dian Wei. A huge camp is now bleak, and in the camp, only dozens of strong soldiers can be seen walking around.

"It turned out that General Lu Bu and General Dian Wei came. Please come in." Hearing Dian Wei's shout, the soldier did not mean to stop him, but took a step back and got out of the way. Obviously, there was no intention of investigation.

"How do you know us?" Dian Wei felt strange and thought that the soldier knew him and asked.

"No, no, the little one is just a small soldier. There is no fate to know the general. It's just that General Ma Chao told him when he left, saying that General Lu Bu would take care of us, so the little one just knew it." The soldier quickly bowed and told the whole story.

"You don't have a lot of injuries here. Why is there no treatment?" Lv Bu looked at the wound wailing in the sun and asked doubtfully.

"This is because Fufeng County sent all the people to Fufeng City. Langzhong in our own army is dead, and we can't find Langzhong to treat the brothers, so the brothers can only endure it first." The soldier said helplessly.

"It's strange. Why don't you go to the city to find Lang Zhong?" Dian Wei was stunned and asked puzzledly.

"Our general won't allow it, saying that the war has just ended, and there must be a lot of wounded soldiers in Fufeng City that need to be treated. It can't be estimated that we are not at all, and it won't help if we go, but it's just to add more trouble. If it is in a stalemate with the army in the city, there is more likely to be the danger of the destruction of the whole army. The soldier began to cry and knelt down to Lv Bu and said, "General, you are here now. You have to save us brothers. There are people dying here all the time. The brothers won't last long. The general is also very sick." With that, the soldier was already sobbing.
