Infinite Streamer

The refugees who lost their land became Lu Bu's main recruits. On the one hand, because the refugees were exiled everywhere, they had no source of food to eat, so they could only make do with what they had and disturb the locals. The refugees and refugees without any food have been an important source of disasters and even rebellions in all dynasties. If they are not handled carefully, it may lead to wars, disasters, and floods! You must know that food is the first necessity of the people. If the problem of food is not solved, the society at the bottom cannot be stable at all.

Now, Lu Bu has grabbed nearly four million taels of silver through a so-called "rare treasures" auction. The silver is too much, and there is nothing wrong with using it for military funds. It can make the refugees profit and support their families, and it can also make the refugees return home, continuously strengthen his military strength, better fight against the chaos in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and win the hearts of the people. Why not do it?

Therefore, Lu Bu immediately decided that starting from the second day of the auction, he would use the silver he obtained from the auction to purchase a large amount of food from nearby places. Of course, most of the food and silver were stored in the storage space of the space-time router system, and a considerable portion was set aside to set up porridge stalls outside the city to provide relief to the homeless refugees living near Jiezhou City, and to recruit soldiers and population at the same time.

The local government offices were even more pleased to see this happen. It would be very welcome for any local government office to solve the disturbances caused by many refugees, not to mention that they could also earn some hard cash.

Soon, groups of refugees came to the porridge stall outside the city of Jiezhou and ate the sweet and delicious rice porridge. Then, word spread, and refugees wandering outside the city gradually flocked to the stall.

Lü Bu also took this opportunity to recruit soldiers from the refugees. As long as they joined the new army of Jiuyuan County, they would not only be well fed and well clothed, but also receive one or two taels of silver every month, which would benefit their families. As long as one person in the family joined the army, the family would receive the corresponding rations every day. This move quickly attracted countless refugees to join.

For refugees, whoever gives them milk is their mother, and whoever gives them food is theirs. As for the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, in the eyes of refugees, it is really not even comparable to a bowl of porridge.

In just three days, Lü Bu and Li Su recruited several thousand refugees. Lü Bu then arranged for his personal guards to lead the troops to Jiuyuan County in batches, and Zhang Yang was in charge of all kinds of military training before they were stationed to guard the border.

On the night when all the silver was settled and all the "rare treasures" were delivered, only Guan Yu, Li Su and eight of his personal guards were left by Lu Bu's side; the others had already led their teams to Jiuyuan County in batches.

That night, at the Yuelai Inn on the outskirts of the city, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Li Su drank a few more glasses of wine to celebrate the successful holding of the auction. They were sleeping soundly when they were suddenly attacked by a group of bandits. One of the bodyguards on sentry was alert and immediately pulled the trigger of his submachine gun to warn them.

After a series of "da da da" gunshots, Lu Bu, Guan Yu and Li Su were all awakened and quickly organized other personnel to launch a defense.

According to the other party's shouting, the leader of the attacking mountain bandits shouted: "We are the Taiping Sect members under the command of the Great Sage and General Tiangong. There are more than a thousand of us here now. We have no choice. As long as you hand over all the silver, we don't want to kill anyone! We will definitely let you leave safely."

Hearing this, Lü Bu couldn't help but mutter in his heart, it turned out to be Zhang Jue's followers, there were as many as a thousand people, it seemed that they were determined to get the three million taels of silver. Lü Bu also thought in his heart that there must be collusion between the merchants who participated in the bidding, otherwise the bandits would not have come one after another just after the silver was delivered.

In the refugee camp outside the city, there were only a few hundred newly-returned weak refugees who had never received any military training and had absolutely no fighting will or capability.

Lu Bu doesn't care what reasons these bandits belonging to Zhang Jue have! Since they are here, this encounter must be fought with a reputation!
