Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

"My lord, I don't think that Liu Zhang really wants to fight against the lord. However, in Chengdu, there are many people who are opposed to surrendering. Liu Zhang is indecisive. Although he wants to surrender, he seems unable to persuade his subjects." Yan Pu came back, He told Lu Bu everything he had seen and heard in Chengdu.

In fact, neither Lu Bu nor Yan Pu thought that Chengdu would surrender during this trip to Chengdu. Just like Yan Xiang said, even if Liu Zhang wanted to surrender, the nobles and powerful people in Chengdu were not willing to surrender.

Following Lu Bu, these people are the unlucky ones, and these people are the ones who control the most resources in the entire Bashu.

"This Chengdu city has high walls and thick walls, and now it's guarded. If we attack by force, the wood needed for the siege equipment may not be enough!" Zhang Liao held the city defense map of Chengdu, which was brought by Shen Mi and Lou Fa. During these times, Chengdu was the one I thought about the most. This city was not only expanded according to the model of the imperial capital, but also its military defense was even stronger than that of Luoyang in the past.

Who would believe that Liu Yan built it for himself?

On the other hand, even if Lu Bu wanted to make siege equipment, it would take several months just to collect wood. If there were no siege equipment, then storming Chengdu would be courting death.

"Xiaozhi can help us when necessary, but there is only one necessary opportunity, and we must choose the right one, otherwise Xiaozhi's life will be killed!" Lu Bu nodded and said: "Since you don't want to surrender, then don't surrender, Wen Yuan. "

"The last general is here!" Zhang Liao stood up and said.

"I'm here to lead the troops to collect timber and prepare siege equipment. You lead the soldiers to take down these places." Lu Bu spread out the entire Bashu map, pointing to several places such as Yufu and Jiangzhou.

Now that Chengdu is difficult to capture for a while, these important places are the key places for going out of Shu along the river in the future, and they must be held in hand.

Lu Bu’s attack on Shu this time was not only because of civil strife in the middle of Shu, and the land of Shu could be used as a place to plunge into the rear, but also because Shu land occupied the source of the great river, occupied it, developed a navy, and could raid down the river. Jingzhou and Jiangdong, although there are no naval generals yet, but this is a plan for the next ten years. From the beginning of the attack on Shu, Lu Bu has his eyes on the overall situation.

Now that Chengdu is in a hurry and difficult to get off, then first occupy the important places and block the access to Shu. Even if Jingzhou comes to attack, he can hold it here.

Zhang Liao marked the places pointed out by Lu Bu with a red pen, put away the map, bowed to Lu Bu and said, "Don't worry, my lord, within three months, the whole territory will be conquered!"

Now that Chengdu is surrounded, in order to fight this battle, the scholars in Central Shu have reduced their forces, leaving all the soldiers and horses empty, and the dragons have no leaders. If Zhang Liao goes to fight now, he will basically be swept away.

Lu Bu nodded, looked at the crowd and said, "There is no rush to siege the city, but I'm not doing this for no reason, and I can't ignore the people's livelihood in Shu, Jiang Xu."

"The last general is here!" Jiang Xu hurriedly stepped out and bowed to Lu Bu.

"You are the prefect of Shu County for the time being, and you will take people to measure the cultivated fields everywhere. All unclaimed cultivated fields or those cultivated by those who oppose the imperial court will be confiscated and distributed by the imperial court. , you can rent the imperial court’s farmland at a price of 10% of the annual tax, and prepare for spring farming next year. In addition, those county officials who are willing to surrender can stay in their posts, and those who don’t surrender can be replaced by others. In short, get ready for spring farming as soon as possible! "

Apart from other things, the people of Shu County must be held in their hands first. Taking advantage of the fact that the gentry in the middle of Shu are concentrated in Chengdu, Lu Bu thinks this is not a bad thing. After Chengdu is captured, these people can just move to Chang'an. Are you farming in the middle of Shu... ...You didn't claim it yourself, I'll give you a chance.

Jiang Xu has been following Lv Bu since before he entered Chang'an, and he belongs to the powerful group in Longxi. Over the past few years, his ability has been honed to the point that if Shu County can take charge of the overall situation this time, he can be officially appointed as the prefect of Shu County.

Jiang Xu understood, in fact, he changed what Chang'an did.

"Jiang Jiong, Wang Ling, Zhao Kuan." Lu Bu looked at the other three and said.

"The end is here!" The three hurried forward.

"The three of you each lead 2,000 soldiers and are responsible for maintaining the law and order in each county. Those who gather to make trouble, kill! Those who deceive the crowd with evil words, kill!" Lu Bu took out three command arrows and handed them to the three, and said in a deep voice.

The two characters of killing have already represented Lu Bu's determination to govern Shu.

He wanted to sort out the land of Shu just like he sorted out Guanzhong. If these people didn't gather in Chengdu, it would be really difficult for Lu Bu to do this. After all, scattered enemies would be difficult to deal with.

Now that this group of people gathered in Chengdu, although it caused great trouble for Lu Bu to attack Chengdu, on the other hand, it weakened most of the local resistance. Now is the most suitable time for Lu Bu to control Chengdu.

"My lord, General Wen Yuan has already taken away a large number of elites, and now he has sent soldiers to inspect the four directions. Only the Shu army is left here." Yan Pu couldn't help reminding Lu Bu.

The current situation is that all the elite of Lu Bu have been sent out, and those who stay here seem to be many, but in fact they are all descended from the Hanzhong army and the Shu army. It's really easy to make trouble when the army surrenders.

"Since they have surrendered to me, they are my soldiers, how can they be treated differently?" Lu Bu laughed.

Although now, this is a mob, but the mob also depends on who owns the mob. He believes that he can make these mobs become the elite of the Shu army.

It is impossible not to treat them differently. Why did Xiang Yu kill 200,000 troops? It was that there were many conflicts between the Qin army and the rebel army, and it was difficult to adjust. Then Xiang Yu used the simplest and most direct method to directly kill the 200,000 surrendered Qin army.

Although what Xiang Yu did was not necessarily right and was criticized by others, it can also be seen that the surrender army was unstable.

Xiang Yu was not sure what to do, but now Lu Bu wanted to give it a try, and Yan Pu didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, Zaifu, my lord is here, and there will be no chaos in the army!" Jia Xu smiled and looked at Yan Pu. In terms of grasping people's hearts, Lu Bu is the top, plus he is leading troops. The many conflicts with the Xiliang Army were also resolved by Lu Bu without bloodshed?

Lu Bu sent out his elite, but left the Shu army to surrender. One reason was that the Shu army in Chengdu had been frightened and did not dare to go out to fight. The roots of the Shuzhong scholars have been dug out, and when they react, these Shu troops will be available.

"I hope so." Yan Pu nodded, bowed to Lu Bu, and sat back in his seat.

In the following days, Lu Bu basically mobilized the Shu army to do things, selected capable people from the Shu army for promotion, eliminated some who did not work hard, and carried out training on weekdays when there was nothing to do. The generals who surrendered have changed.

Nowadays, the generals of the Shu army are still mainly descended generals of the Shu army, such as Pang Le and Li Yi, but the generals at the grassroots level are almost all promoted by Lu Bu.

And the most important thing is that the defenders in Chengdu did not send troops to fight during this period. Instead, because Lu Bu was only besieging but not attacking, they began to actively strengthen the city defenses, preparing for a decisive battle with Lu Bu, and missed the best time.

At the same time, after Jiang Xu came to power in Shu County, Jiang Jiong and his men led soldiers and horses one by one to cooperate with officials from all over the country to measure and cultivate the fields. The private fields of the scholars who were still in Chengdu were all designated as public lands because they were unclaimed.

The winter was spent in the confrontation between the two sides. The winter in central Sichuan was really cold. Lu Bu's physique felt a little unbearable, let alone other people.

However, it can be regarded as the end of all hardships. After one winter, the sorting out of the counties has been completed, and with the approach of spring plowing, the allocation of public land has also been completed.

Although it is not yet time to pay taxes, after a winter of propaganda and suppression of the local power of the gentry, Lu Bu has successfully won the support of many Shu people, and the military spirit has become more cohesive. At least now the Shu army is fighting Lu Bu from top to bottom. He no longer harbored repulsion. Even if people like Pang Le and Li Yi wanted to make trouble at this moment, it would be difficult to gather too many people.

In addition to the fact that the generals at all levels are now promoted by Lu Bu, more importantly, it is the low-level people who have benefited the most from these policies of Lu Bu in Shu, and most of these Shu soldiers are from ordinary people's families, and a few are from the common people. From a wealthy family?

In this way, even in order to maintain Lu Bu's policy, these soldiers have no reason to reject Lu Bu.

On the other hand, Zhang Liao also captured Jiangzhou, Linjiang, Yufu and other important towns successively. The road to Shu was completely controlled by Lu Bu, and now even if the outside princes wanted to fight in, they couldn't do it.

In the early spring, Lu Bu took Jia Xu, Yan Pu and other counselors in the fields outside Chengdu to watch the people who were plowing in full swing. Lu Bu looked at Yan Pu and said, "Zai Fu, you said that under such circumstances, there are still people in the army. Who will oppose me?"

"My lord is brilliant!" Yan Pu naturally had nothing to say.

As a result of the current situation, apart from the fact that Lu Bu's policy is indeed easy to win over the people at the bottom, what is more important is the decision-making mistakes of the Shu people. They concentrated all their forces in Chengdu, leaving the local defense empty, and Lu Bu brought a group of soldiers here. After guarding for a few months, every time the Shu army came out, they might see through Lu Bu's strategy and react, but they never did.

Now Chengdu is a truly lonely army. At least in Shu County, except for Chengdu, all other places have fallen into Lu Bu's hands. Not only the city, but also the people's hearts have been taken by Lu Bu.

How should I say it?

If they are useless, it is definitely impossible. It can only be said that the Shu army was so frightened by Lu Bu's successive victories that they have not sent troops for so long.

"My lord, there is an urgent report sent by Wenyuan!" Zhang Ji rode his horse to Lu Bu's side, and handed a letter to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu took the letter, read it carefully for a while, then handed the letter to Jia Xu, but looked at Yan Pu: "Zai Fu, you are also from Bashu, do you understand this Nanman?"
