Chapter 20 Establishing the Flying Tiger Army

(Summon recommendation tickets! Summon collection! Summon comments!)

The Yuan family was ambitious and tried to imitate the "Tian family replaced Qi" to "Yuan family replaced Han Dynasty". In the original history, because of Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, and Yuan's plot to go bankrupt. This time, because of the existence of Lu Bu, the Yuan family was destined to fail. If Lu Bu had not emerged, Dong Zhuo would have quickly completed the miracle of snake swallowing elephant and dominate the Luoyang court. In the original history, Dong Zhuo only brought three thousand elite cavalry and quickly advanced into Luoyang. In order to shock the court, he adopted Li Ru's strategy and ordered all his subordinates to sneak out of Luoyang every night, and Aihao the next morning

The war drums shook the sky when they entered the city, and the flags were waving, just like Dong Zhuo's subordinates and thousands of troops continued to enter Luoyang. After a few days, the court officials and ministers were frightened by Dong Zhuo's powerful strength. Then, Dong Zhuo used this enlarged tiger skin to quickly recruit He Jin and He Miao's remaining troops, and their strength quickly became stronger. Then the Xiliang army actually entered Luoyang and Dong Zhuo completely controlled the court. If Yuan Shao had adopted Bao Xin's suggestion, then there would be only the Yuan Dynasty and no longer the Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Note 1).

It was because of Lu Bu's existence that Dong Zhuo's wishful thinking of entering Beijing to control the government was vain, so he could only change his plan and win over Lu Bu.

On the other hand, Lu Bu was secretly proud. He entered Luoyang City first, made great contributions to defend the king and rescue the emperor, and then incorporated elite troops in the capital, becoming a major force that can compete with Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and others. It is the result of being familiar with history. Since being familiar with history can help him make a beautiful beginning, he can also help him quickly pacify the heroes of the late Han Dynasty in the future, when Lu Bu thought of this, he couldn't help but feel confident in the future.

A leader said it well, "The power comes from the barrel of a gun." Lu Bu remembered this point. He knew that the army he could really control was only a small part of the Bingzhou Army, with about a thousand people. He Jin, He Miao's remaining troops and the four Xiyuan Army were almost all controlled by the original middle and high-level generals. Lu Bu could only control it in name only. I am afraid that when the war was in a stalemate, these troops would not be sufficient.

When Lu Bu thought of this, he realized that he wanted to build an elite army that only his own life would follow, and based on such elite troops, he would intimidate and control other armies.

With such thoughts, when Lu Bu rectified and incorporated He Jin, He Miao's remaining troops and the four troops in Xiyuan, he specially promoted a thousand brave soldiers from it to his personal soldiers, and rewarded these thousand people with three times the property that ordinary soldiers were as good as ordinary soldiers. Under the heavy reward, there must be loyal and brave men. Compared with those former bosses who were mean and young, these thousand people were grateful to Lu Bu and had the desire to die. The so-called heartlessness was unwilling to refuse.

After returning to the camp, Lu Bu combined the 1,000 Bingzhou soldiers who were originally commanded, eliminated the soldiers suspected of being Ding Yuan and Hao Meng's trapped in, and reorganized 2,000 people.

Lu Bu slightly modified the Wu, Shi, Team, Tun, Qu, and Department organization at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty (Note 2), and adopted the May Fourth combination: five people are one rank, one chief and deputy rank commander; the meaning of the queue is to be one rank, one chief and deputy rank commander, a total of twenty-five people; four are listed as one rank, one chief and deputy rank commander, a total of one hundred people; five teams are listed as one rank, one chief and deputy rank commander, a total of five hundred people; four villages are listed as one rank, one chief and deputy rank commander, a total of five hundred people; four villages are listed as one Qu, and Qu has one chief and marquis and marquis, a total of two thousand people; five qu are composed of one department, a school captain, one Sima, a total of one 10,000 people. The officers, scouts, and baggage units of each department are organized into the queue, and the town is the basic combat unit, with a general affairs column, scouts, baggage units, and baggage units are responsible for supervising the logistics of the logistics of the logistics of the supplies.

According to this organization, the two thousand people under Lu Bu were set as one song. Lu Bu was appointed as the Marquis of Zhengjun, Qin Yi was appointed as the Marquis of the Army, and Lu Bu personally led the most elite troops, Qin Yi, Chen Wei, and Li Hei, respectively. Lu Bu referred to Dong Zhuo's Feixiong Army and named this direct army the Feihu Army.

Lu Bu chose one of the twenty more in the Flying Tiger Army, and selected one hundred elite soldiers with outstanding martial arts skills to form his own personal bodyguard. However, what name should this guard be called? Lu Bu thought of several names, but he thought it was not very good, so he no longer spent his brains on it.

Just as Lu Bu was reorganizing his personal soldiers, Ding Yuan had just scolded Li Jue, the special envoy who had retired from Dong Zhuo, and then called Hao Meng: "I have been uneasy these two days. You must pay close attention to every move in the camp, especially be careful of Lu Bu." Hao Meng took the order and left. Ding Yuan, who was over 50 years old, was a little tired and hurriedly fell asleep.

The pigeons flying from Dong Zhuo to Luoyang fell on a hillside not far from Xiaopingjin after an hour. Li Su, who was anxiously waiting, grabbed the pigeon's legs and spread out the silk. Seeing Li Ru's words: Follow the plan, Li Su looked back at the few confidants who were accompanying him: "Let's go back to my old friend."

After Lu Bu reorganized the Flying Tiger Army, the sun had set and the night was already low. Lu Bu and his soldiers finished their supper, lit a torch for an hour, then pulled out two teams to take turns to be alert, and the other soldiers returned to the camp to rest. Lu Bu's guard camp surrounded Lu Bu's central army camp, and Lu Bu was ready to fall asleep peacefully.

At this moment, Wei Xu, Song Xian and Cheng Lian came to report: "It has been counted that 10,000 kilograms of gold and 30,000 kilograms of silver were found from the palace, and other silk and satin were loaded in twenty carts, and rare jewelry was converted into about one hundred million yuan; 20,000 kilograms of gold and 50,000 kilograms of silver were found from the house of the ten prefectures, and more than 30 carts of silk and satin were found in more than two hundred million yuan, and 100 kilograms of gold, 20,000 kilograms of silver, and more than ten silk and satin were found in the house of the senior officials, and the price was more than one hundred million yuan."

After saying that, they submitted the more detailed number to Lu Bu for review. Lu Bu nodded secretly: "Have you embezzled?" The three of them shook their heads quickly: "Although we are greedy for money, we know that the general's rules should not be offended. Besides, the general situation is not yet determined, and it is not a good time to embezzle money."

Lu Bu squinted his eyes and glanced at them for a few times. Seeing that they were all calm and composed, they seemed to be true, so he asked again: "Did you leave any handle? I don't want to be impeached in the court tomorrow!"

Wei Xu smiled slightly: "Brother-in-law, please rest as long as it is the palace we are about to rob, we have soldiers outside the door, and we will never let an idle person in. We set fire with Yuan Shu's soldiers and burned the snatched palace. Since the palace has been burned to white ground and turned into vanish, the silk and jewelry inside cannot survive. Besides, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's soldiers are also robbing, and they are not qualified to impeach the general."

Lu Bu turned around and asked Song Xian and Cheng Lian: "What's going on with you?"

Song Xian and Cheng Lian grinned and said, "Everything went well. We followed the general's instructions and only killed the rebels, without making things difficult for the slaves. Moreover, after we searched the eunuch Zhang Rang and Cao Jie's residence, we heard that the general had incorporated Zhang Rang's relative Zhao Rong and Cao Jie's son-in-law Feng Fang, so we returned their families and some of the money to the two generals. In addition, we also sent some gold, silver and jewelry to the palace for the empress dowager."

Lu Bu patted the three people on the shoulders: "Good job, good job! When the general situation is settled, I will definitely be rewarded!"

Wei Xu frowned and asked, "Brother-in-law, should we report back to Lord Ding and give him some treasures!"

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes and thought: "No need, I will meet at the meeting tomorrow. It is very likely that I will take you back to Bingzhou, and Lord Ding stays in the capital as a minister."

Wei Xu was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's good. I don't want to do it under the stingy old man."

At this moment, Qin Yi came in and reported secretly: "General, when Lord Ding met Dong Zhuo's secret envoy just now, the two seemed to have talked about something, but they couldn't reach an agreement. Lord Ding drove the secret envoy away."

Lu Bu passed the past few days in his mind and said calmly: "I'm afraid Dong Zhuo sent someone to ask our Lord Ding to take charge of the government with him. Lord Ding thought that tens of thousands of people under my command could monopolize the government, so they couldn't reach an agreement. Dong Zhuo was a slutty man. I expected that something would happen tonight, so I ordered the army to strengthen the alert!" Lu Bu also sent someone to notify Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, Xue Lan, Li Feng and other troops who were staying in the city to strengthen the alert.

Lu Bu felt that the situation was getting more and more tense, because he decided not to intervene in the battle between Dong Zhuo and the heroes of Kanto to waste his troops. Lu Bu made up his mind to withdraw from Luoyang City as soon as possible and return to Bingzhou.

Note 1: "Book of the Later Han Dynasty - Biography of Yuan Shao" records that when Zhuo's general arrived, the cavalry commander Taishan Bao Xin said to Shao: "Dong Zhuo's support for the strong army, and he would have different ambitions. If he did not plan early, he would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would attack him. He was tired of the new one, and he would be able to attack him." Shao was afraid of Zhuo and did not dare to send him out.
