Chapter 524
Land was an asset that people of all classes in ancient times cared about very much.
They couldn't help but be excited about this.
If their families had enough land, why would they voluntarily join the army and risk their lives to make a living?
Chengshi County
Li family
As a wealthy family in Chengshi County, the Li family moved here later.
However, because a member of the clan, Li Dian, was highly regarded by Cao Cao, he quickly gained a foothold in Chengshi County.
The actions of Lu Bu and Xiahou Dun in Chengshi County naturally attracted the attention of the Li family.
However, since Xiahou Dun himself was there, they didn't take it too seriously at first.
However, in the past two days, many households in Chengshi County have already taken large-scale migration measures.
This made the Li family notice something was wrong.
"Second Young Master, there is news."
"A letter arrived from the eldest son, claiming that the envoy did not recruit soldiers."
"General Xiahou was captured by Lü Bu more than half a month ago."
A retainer in tight clothes spoke up.
"what!"
"You are so good, Lu Bu, you actually came to my Chengshi County to rob the people and young men."
Li Jin slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily.
"Second Young Master, what should we do now?"
"It will take some time for the eldest son to lead the troops here."
The retainer asked with a worried look on his face.
"beat!"
"Lü Bu didn't bring many armored soldiers with him on this trip."
"There are only about twenty riders accompanying us."
"As for those new recruits, they are just a bunch of farmers."
"Go, gather the clan members immediately, and then send someone to the county government office to mobilize the county soldiers and young men."
"We must not let Lu Bu take away so many people."
Li Jin frowned and gave instructions to the guests.
"promise!"
The retainer bowed and immediately ran away.
outside the city
At this time, most of the new recruits have brought their families with them.
There are people of all ages, young and old, male and female.
Among those who bring their families with them, the three thousand young and strong people mean nearly ten thousand dependents.
What's more, there is the Xu family that Xu Chu belongs to.
"General, everyone has returned."
After counting the number of people, a cavalryman bowed to Lu Bu.
"Ah."
"It's getting late, let's go back now."
Lu Bu nodded and gave the order immediately.
This time, I want to pretend to be more realistic.
Lu Bu didn't even wear that fancy equipment, Fang Tian Hua Ji and Red Hare.
After all, these equipments are so iconic.
The main force headed northwest.
"Brother, why do you have families with you?"
Xu Ding, carrying a spear and a bag on his back, looked at Xu Chu beside him with a puzzled expression.
"Hey, didn't the general say that Envoy Cao would give them land?"
Xu Chu explained with a smile.
"So, Envoy Cao is quite a nice person."
Xu Ding always felt something was wrong.
However, the IQ of the two brothers is not very high, and with Xiahou Dun as their signboard, they naturally would not doubt too much.
At the beginning, the troops were doing relatively well.
But about half an hour later, fierce shouts and screams suddenly came from the rear.
"what happened?"
Lu Bu frowned and couldn't help but look back.
Just this one glance gave him a fright.
Five or six thousand people, armed with weapons, were charging towards them under the leadership of a young man.
"General, someone is coming."
"This is how to do?"
Several cavalrymen looked at Lu Bu in panic.
There weren't many of them this time.
Even Lu Bu didn't bring his Fang Tian Hua Ji.
As for the new recruits behind me...
Not worth much use.
Not only are their combat effectiveness low, but few of them even have suitable weapons.
Rely on fists and real weapons to fight against others?
That’s a gift!
"Xu Chu!"
"Are the three thousand young men under your command capable of fighting?"
Lu Bu's eyes flickered left and right, and finally looked at Xu Chu.
"can!"
"Our tribe has three thousand strong men who have been fighting bandits for years. They are experienced and brave."
Xu Chu nodded and replied immediately.
"it is good!"
"You have seen the bandits in the rear. They do not want you to distribute the land to them. They hope to stay in Chengshi County and work like slaves."
"Do you dare to follow me and defeat these bandits?"
Lu Bu shouted in satisfaction and questioned loudly.
"The general will go where he wishes!"
Xu Chu's eyes widened as he spoke angrily.
