Reborn as Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms, let’s see who can block my way

Chapter 276 Lu Bu’s version of looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst

Although he can put himself in the soldiers' shoes and understand their difficulties, it does not mean that he will let off those who make mistakes.

Lu Bu commanded the entire army and had millions of people behind him. He had to consider the overall situation more.

If the complaining soldiers had not been punished just now, this situation would definitely spread and eventually cause instability in the morale of the military.

However, Zang Ba and Hao Meng cannot be allowed to directly kill people. What he has to do is to kill chickens and scare monkeys, and it is best to convince others with reason.

The experienced Gao Shun is even more powerful. He gave a sweet date with a stick, and now his military morale is strong again.

Licking his lips, Lu Bu suddenly thought of a good method and laughed out loud.

"Brother, why are you laughing?" Zang Ba asked curiously.

"Yes, Lord. Although the morale of the army has been temporarily stabilized, we still have to find a way to solve the current crisis." Zhao Yun also said.

"Of course I have an idea."

Lu Bu stood up, walked to Gao Shun, and raised his hands to everyone.

Seeing Lu Bu approaching, all the troops held their breath and stared at the former curiously, hoping that he would give him a good idea.

"Listen carefully, General Lu is about to speak." Some soldiers reminded in a low voice.

"Yes, listen quickly. It seems that General Lu has a good idea."

After clearing his throat, Lu Bu's loud voice echoed in the sky: "Soldiers, don't worry about the lack of water.

I have been to this place before and am very familiar with it.

Not far away from our army, there will be a large field of plums, which are sour, sweet and very delicious. "

"plum?"

Hearing this, all the sergeants couldn't help but feel sour water in their mouths, and stared at Lu Bu curiously.

Lu Bu: "Yes, the army needs to work harder. In addition, I will announce another thing. Anyone who reaches the front town first will be rewarded with ten coins."

After hearing Lu Bu's words, everyone was very excited and started chattering.

"Wow, when we get to the town ahead, we will not only have plums to eat, but we will also have ten guan of money."

"Then why are we waiting here? Let's go quickly."

There were also bright-minded people among them. After thinking for a moment, they kindly reminded: "General, according to the normal season, by the end of summer, there will be no more plums."

"this?"

Lu Bu scratched his head speechlessly. It seems that Cao Cao's "looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst" cannot be fully applied!

What should I do?

What is sour this season?

Seeing that Lu Bu was being questioned for a moment, the soldiers who had already believed him all reacted and looked at Lu Bu in confusion.

But how can this matter trouble Lu Bu? He doesn't have great wisdom, but he still has some cleverness to deceive others.

Lu Bu smiled disdainfully and shook his head at the soldier who asked the question, as if he had told a big joke.

Just when Xiaobing was confused by laughter and already doubting himself, Lu Bu spoke.

"I really didn't lie to you."

Remember, everyone, when you hear something like this, just wait to hear the lies behind it.

Lu Bu: "For the convenience of storage and transportation, local people usually make plums into dried plums."

"Oh, you don't know, dried plums are more delicious than plums. Take a bite and your mouth will be filled with sour and sweet flavors."

"Is it possible that none of you have eaten it?"

Hearing Lu Bu's slightly sarcastic question, the soldiers looked at each other and were embarrassed to say that they had eaten.

"General, are dried plums really delicious?"

Zang Ba on the side heard the excitement and came forward curiously, swallowing several mouthfuls in succession.

"That's natural. Compared with fresh plums, it has a different taste. You haven't eaten it before, right?" Lu Bu asked pretending to be surprised.

"I didn't." Zang Ba was very serious and shook his head, looking stupid.

"Then have you eaten it?" Lu Bu turned to ask Hao Meng again.

Hao Meng was startled and said with an unusually solemn expression: "Of course I have eaten it, I'm not bragging to you..."

Attention, Hao Meng is about to start bragging.

"I have loved eating dried plums since I was a child. This stuff is very expensive and most people can't afford it."

"Oh, after what General Hao Meng said, I suddenly remembered that I was lucky enough to have eaten it." A soldier who liked to show off suddenly shouted happily.

Immediately afterwards, the troops began a heated discussion.

Some people say that they were lucky enough to eat it when they went to a wealthy relative’s house.

Some people also say that their family’s ancestors were rich and had more than a dozen prunes passed down from their ancestors.

Everyone said different things, and the more they talked, the more mysterious they became. They all wanted to praise the dried plums to heaven.

The soldier, who was too thin-skinned to brag and lie, felt a strong sense of inferiority in his heart when he saw that everyone had eaten. He gritted his teeth and secretly swore that he would eat a dried prune this time.

"General, give the order to set off quickly." The sergeants couldn't help but urge.

"But I'm worried that you are tired." Lu Bu took a breath of distress and said with concern.

"We're not tired, we're not tired, we're full of energy." Everyone yelled and couldn't help but lean forward.

It looked like Lu Bu gave an order and everyone ran in a hurry.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Bu looked reluctant to give up. Finally, he gave a high-five: "Okay, let's go."

In an instant, without waiting for Gao Shun's urging, the whole army ran forward.

Looking at the smoke and dust flying, Gao Shun was very pleased and nodded happily: "Brother, you are really a blessed person.

Unexpectedly, this place was rich in dried plums, which inspired the fighting spirit of the army.

Otherwise it will really take some effort. "

Lu Bu's lips curled up: "What kind of dried plums?"

"The dried plums you mentioned are something only rich people can afford."

"I said yes? I also said I was a god in the sky."

Patting Gao Shun, who had confused eyes, Lu Bu smiled mysteriously, and then flew onto the chariot.

After being stunned for a moment, Gao Shun's eyes suddenly lit up, he licked his lips in shock, and looked back at Lu Bu who was lounging on the chariot.

"General Lu, you are truly a god. He can come up with such clever tricks."

The hard work paid off, and after another day and night of rapid marching, Lu Bu's army finally reached a town, Lingbi.

After finding the water source, the army happily had a full meal and then rested on the spot.

It's just that the soldiers are still worried, and they can't forget the problem of plums.

There were people chatting everywhere in the army.

"Why didn't you find dried plums?"

"Yes, I also asked local farmers specifically, and everyone only knows about plums, but has never heard of dried plums."

"You're not going to lie to us, General Lu, are you?"

Just when someone was still doubting, a wise man came online: "Tsk, didn't General Lu say that?

Dried plums are an expensive good, so how could ordinary people know about them? "

"That's right, we still don't know enough."

The scene in Lu Bu's Chinese army tent was also very lively.

"Brother, are you too smart? You can think of this idea." Gao Shun couldn't help but praise.

"Yes, and he also made full use of the people's comparison mentality. The lord is really as wise as a fool." Zhao Yun also said happily.
