Wu Anguo lifted up the sledgehammer, led the horse, followed behind Lu Bu, and stepped into the Central Army camp.^

There is a regulation in the camp that if you enter the camp, you are not allowed to ride a horse, and you must lead a horse and walk. Lu Bu is no exception, leading the red rabbit horse and walking towards the schoolyard...

At the entrance of the school grounds, Lu Bu handed the Red Rabbit Horse to a personal guard and asked him to take it to wash and feed.

Shi Jushu, the marching chief responsible for rectifying the more than 10,000 Allied soldiers, reported: "Report to the lord, there are about 33,000 Allied soldiers captured by the Western Liang army, more than 21,000 escaped, and more than 3,000 people who were injured and unable to stand on their bodies are being treated in the medical camp, and more than 18,000 people are left in good health and are being reorganized.

In addition, more than 9,000 people were either killed by the Xiliang swordsmen due to resistance or killed by the Xiliang cavalry. These people have been recognized by their original comrades and have been registered by the Military Control Department. In the future, their families will be moved to Jizhou. After their families arrive in Jizhou, the Military Control Department will pay pensions to their families and arrange land according to the standards of our Central Army.

In addition, more than 3,000 Allied soldiers were counted, and they were killed by the Xiliang soldiers because of fear of the enemy. According to the lord's previous statement, the families of these soldiers who were afraid of the enemy were confiscated as slaves. Bei Zhi thinks this is worth discussing."

Lu Bu turned around and asked Wu Anguo with a smile: "Yuan Fang, what do you think?"

Wu Anguo thought that he was mistaken for being greedy for life and afraid of death by Kong Rong, and escaped at the last minute. A trace of sadness flashed through his eyes: "Lord, since everyone is dead, why bother the family?"

Lu Bu nodded and turned to Ju Su and said, "Then let's bury these people casually, without registering them, nor notifying their families. Their families do not have to be punished. They are not qualified to receive the generous pension and land. Our reward will only be given to those brave soldiers."

Lu Bu stepped into the schoolyard and found that there were many noble princes sitting upright on the high platform of the schoolyard, led by the three brothers Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Yuan Yi.

Lu Bu frowned and turned around and asked Ju Su: "What are they here to do?"

Ju Su pointed to more than 18,000 Allied soldiers in the schoolyard: "These soldiers were covered with blood from the Xiliang soldiers, their morale was greatly boosted, their courage was strong, and their spirits were refreshed. Compared with the original lack of war, they were reborn. The princes of these aristocratic families regretted it and wanted to ask the lord for it back."

Lu Bu was angry by the shameless behavior of these princes of aristocratic families. He strided heavily and walked up to the platform, and asked loudly in a loud voice: "Everyone, what did you say before? What did you say? Those prisoners fell into the Xiliang army, either being punished as slaves to be exhausted to death or being killed by the Xiliang army who lacked food. Since they were all dead sooner or later, what about their cheap life. What do you think of you?! What do you say? Those prisoners were greedy for life and feared death and became prisoners. Marquis Wen did not need to sympathize with them, just treat them as Western Liang soldiers and killed them together! No matter what, we have no objection to what to do with Marquis Wen. Why do you have any objection now?"

When Lu Bu said this, more than 18,000 Allied soldiers in the audience were all staring at these princes of the Guandong family in anger. The more than 18,000 angry rage in their eyes seemed to burn Yuan Shao and others to ashes.

Yuan Shao and other princes of aristocratic families were ashamed of being spoken by Lu Bu, and they did not dare to look at the angry eyes of the abandoned soldiers of the Allied Army below.

Cao Cao tried to smooth things over: "Wen Hou, why not ask these 18,000 soldiers who would like to return to their previous lord?"

Lu Bu was right to think about it. Not every one of these more than 1,000 Allied soldiers was willing to follow the Central Army. There might be confidants of these noble princes. It is a huge hidden danger for such people to stay in their own army. It is better to let them go now.

Lu Bu raised the Fang Tian Painted Ridge and rushed to the sky: "If you are willing to follow me, Lu Bu's Central Army to eliminate the rebels, please stay if you are reviving the Han Dynasty, please leave if you are unwilling to follow me to pacify the world!"

More than 4,000 soldiers from more than 18,000 Allied soldiers were left because they turned out to be servants of these aristocratic families. The whole family was in the manors of these aristocratic families and was controlled by these aristocratic families and had to leave the Central Army and return to their lord's ranks.

The remaining more than 14,000 Allied soldiers were self-cultivated farmers or refugees recruited by the princes of the aristocratic families. They were not very loyal to these aristocratic families, but were abandoned by their ruthlessness and unrighteousness, and were attracted by the power of the Lu Bu Central Army. They all stood firmly, waiting for the reorganization of the Central Army.

When the Central Army was pursuing Yan Xing, more than 6,000 Allied soldiers gathered in the dense forests on both sides of the official road. Most of these soldiers were injured. They are now in the Central Army's medical camp. In addition, more than 3,000 Allied wounded soldiers were captured by the Western Liang army and rescued by the Central Army. In total, more than 9,000 wounded soldiers in the Central Army's medical camp.

Lu Bu took the initiative to return these wounded soldiers to these princes of the aristocratic families, but they refused.

It turned out that in the battle where the 80,000 troops of these noble families were ambushed by the Western Liang army, Yuan Shu's army, who was in charge of the baggage, fled, and all the supplies and food of the Allied Army were missing. These noble families now rely on the food and grass of Zhang Miao, the host of Chenliu, and the food and grass that Zhang Miao could provide them was only enough for their existing healthy soldiers to eat for more than ten days. These noble families were trapped in the current medical conditions and could not heal the slightly more serious trauma. If these more than 9,000 wounded soldiers were handed over to them, they would probably die in a few days.

Lu Bu was just showing his attitude, and he was not willing to return these wounded soldiers to these noble princes. Not only that, Lu Bu also took the initiative to visit the wounded soldiers of these noble princes.

When entering the wounded camps in these aristocratic families, it was like entering a slaughterhouse, with blood flowing all over the ground, mosquitoes and flies flying everywhere, many wounded people lay on the ground like killed pigs and sheep, and the trauma on their bodies was constantly ulcerated, and their ears were filled with shrill screams and moans of the wounded soldiers.

Most of these noble princes are not in military affairs, and they don’t know how important it is to follow the military doctors. Each of them is only equipped with a few military doctors, and there are hundreds of wounded soldiers everywhere. These military doctors are simply too busy and have to let the wounded soldiers lie on the ground and wail.

Due to the limitations of the times, these military doctors did not know how to disinfect them or how to effectively stop bleeding.

Lu Bu saw with his own eyes that a military doctor burned the arrow wound on the chest of a wounded soldering iron with a red soldering iron. The purpose was to stop the bleeding of the wounded person who was bleeding. The soldering iron burned over and the smell of burning human flesh immediately filled the air. The wounded soldier screamed and fainted immediately, but he just fainted. The military doctor shook his head: "This person is not good, carry it out and buried!"

Lu Bu couldn't help but shake his head. According to the treatment methods of these military doctors, they would probably have tortured to death by them. Moreover, with the current environment here, flies flying around and bacteria crawling around, it is impossible to prevent wound infection. Those who survived after these wounded soldiers would definitely have a very hard life. No wonder this era regards death and injury as a statistics of war damage. It turns out that in the eyes of those superiors, these trauma will undoubtedly die.

The only facility in these wounded soldiers' tents is the thin tent. It is February now, and the weather is still very cold. Many wounded soldiers are curled up on the ground, all because Yuan Shu abandoned all his supplies. The princes of the current aristocratic families lack food and clothing, so they can take care of these dead wounded soldiers.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others held their own identities, pinched their noses, stood at the door of the camp, and refused to come in to visit these wounded soldiers. They looked at Lu Bu who was walking around in the wounded camp in confusion. What was Lu Bu doing?!

Lu Bu looked down at the injuries of these wounded soldiers. Most of them looked very serious. In fact, just clean the wounds well, disinfect them with high alcohol, apply trauma medicine, suture them, and eat, drink and rest well. They can be healed in ten or half a month. However, these princes of the aristocratic families don’t know what disinfection is. They can only watch the wounds on these wounded soldiers become ulcerated day by day until they die.

Fortunately, these noble princes did not know about it, otherwise Lu Bu would not have been able to get a advantage from it.

Lu Bu stepped out of the wounded camp and said to Yuan Shao and others who were confused, "My brothers, I don't know what your plans are. Do you want to follow me to continue attacking Hulao Pass?"

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others were all stunned. These people looked at each other. Yuan Shao said, "Fengxian's heroic spirit, we admire him, but we were ambushed by Xu Rong, lost our troops and generals, lost our food and grass, and were unable to move westward. We have already discussed it and we will start to return to our respective bases tomorrow."

Lu Bu looked helpless: "Then will the alliance to challenge Dong be dissolved from now on?"

Yuan Shao lowered his head: "Things are the only thing that has come to this point."

Lu Bu pointed to the wounded soldiers who were wailing in the camp: "What are you going to do these people?"

Yuan Shao shook his head helplessly: "What else can I do?! Keep a few people watching. If you can survive, take it back. If you can't survive, you can bury it on the spot."

Lu Bu sighed, "Brother Benchu, you and I fight side by side, and have formed a life-and-death friendship, but by chance, I took away more than 10,000 of your soldiers. I feel very guilty and keep trying to make up for it. Let's do this, I will help you with these wounded soldiers. I have a few capable military doctors there. If I can save a few, I will send them back to you. If I can't save them, I will bury them for you. In addition, I heard that you have not enough food and grass. Let's do this. Each of your teams will send you ten days of food and grass, enough for you to return to your base. Alas, you are gone, I can't support it, and it seems that I will evacuate as soon as possible."

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others naturally thanked him very much, but they didn't know that Lu Bu had unknowingly embezzled thousands of their soldiers, and the food and herbs were originally lost by Yuan Shu. Lu Bu took them away from the Xiliang army and quietly transported them back to the Central Army camp.
