Chapter 36: The Huns' Emissary
Lu Bu walked by near the grassland.
After seeing Lu Bu coming, these Hun cavalrymen who were resting on the ground stood up very respectfully and took off their hats to pay tribute.
Lu Bu was very satisfied.
Gao Shun and others who followed Lu Bu all looked very majestic with armored swords.
But the Huns did not have armor.
So the overall look is still very good, at least everyone is wearing clothes, so they don’t look like beggars.
Moreover, each of them has a scimitar, so they are quite equipped.
However, Lu Bu told them that if everyone wants to have armor and clothes to protect themselves, they must obey themselves, truly obey their orders, and at the same time they can achieve military achievements.
Then there is no problem with getting promoted from the Academic League.
In this way, the Huns respected Lu Bu even more.
Lu Bu returned to the vicinity where his war horses ate grass. There were no other Huns here, but only Gao Shun and others.
"Gao Shun, do you have any clues to recruit soldiers? Is it difficult to understand that we want to use the Huns all?"
"Lord, there are too few Han people in Kucha City that can be used. Their bodies have collapsed. It is too difficult to make up for it. You have to recruit them from other places so that they can be used."
Lu Bu asked Gao Shun this because the Han army that followed Lu Bu to compete for Kucha was from the troops of the prefect Ding Yuan.
So they do not belong to Lu Bu, and they will withdraw after they are stable in Kucha City.
And the defense of Kucha City depends on Lu Bu alone.
In the early stage, the prefect Ding Yuan would have resources to tilt to this Kucha City, but Lu Bu needed to return it slowly.
The reason why these generals were in charge of affairs was that they were special. After all, the Huns might be killed at any time in this kind of place.
If it is the county magistrate, then it may not be able to withstand it.
This is also the reason why Lu Bu must come out, and this is his own opportunity.
Although he would live a prosperous life with the prefect Ding Yuan, he did not have his own power.
After this came out, Lu Bu was like a dragon like a sea.
"First train some civilians to use as their backs. When the prefect moves over, we will say that our place is still too small to support too many troops."
"promise!"
Gao Shun can only say this at this time.
This is the case now. It is already overloaded for a county to raise 300 cavalrymen.
"Now that the city wall has been built, those people cannot stay for a meal, so they have to take them to work. Only in this way can this Kucha city be built forever."
"Lord, this Shun is really inexperienced."
Gao Shun looked at Lu Bu and said in a little embarrassed manner.
Although he is literate and Xiaoyong, he is not suitable for development at all, so he thinks it is clearer, otherwise Kucha might be ruined.
"Well! I just said that it seems that we still need to find some professional talent plans. After spending this year, we will have our own output next year."
Lu Bu said this, Gao Shun was not responding to the conversation, but only did what he could do.
Five days passed, and the city of Kucha became quite lively and the number of people gradually increased. The prefect Ding Yuan knew that Lu Bu was short of people who could control Kucha, so he also sent some civil servants.
In fact, they just read a few more books than ordinary people, but they are already very useful.
Therefore, it is convenient to deal with some trivial matters.
Lu Bu did not care about their interests for him. Anyway, they were all the people of the prefect Ding Yuan, as long as what he had to do was not restricted.
According to Lu Bu's plan, it was planted on a large scale because there was a river outside Kucha.
This river was the place where livestock used to drink water. Because it flowed all year round, the terrain was the lowest, so it was difficult to bring this water to a high place for watering.
In this way, it is difficult to develop agriculture.
But Lu Bu also knew that these were necessary. If he had no food, the number of troops would be limited to a serious limit.
So, he could only look at the pasture here and decided to continue to use grazing to exchange it with the food-free places.
Because the number of people increased, after more people lived in the city, various problems arose. Therefore, the Han army was stationed in the city, and Lu Bu's 300 Hun cavalry could only be stationed outside the city. At the same time, they also began to participate in the grazing.
Fortunately, most of the livestock here were collected before. Although some were handed over to the prefect Ding Yuan, Lu Bu also left most of them as the foundation of development, so these Huns became the best herders.
In the afternoon, Lu Bu was taken to the camp of the Hun cavalry.
The reason why Lu Bu came over was because these grazing Huns captured several Hun spies.
Of course, this is the case on the surface, but it is not in fact.
Because these Huns came to find Lu Bu, they came with the orders of their leaders.
Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others, entered the main account with confidence and sat down.
The loyalty of the Hun cavalry made Lu Bu know that they had not betrayed, so he let the cavalry guard outside the camp.
When the bound Huns were brought to them, Lu Bu did not ask them to untie the rope, but asked them to kneel down and talk.
"Han General, I came to see you with the orders of the leader of my division and wanted to convey three good news to you."
The Xiongnu people who spoke can speak Chinese, but this made Lu Bu much easier.
"Then let's say it!"
Lu Bu knew that these people came to Xuanwei, that is, they came to threaten him, but he was not the one who would be threatened.
So there is no need to be polite to these people.
"The Han general, the leader of our tribe means that Kucha City belongs to the great Han Dynasty. Since it was taken back by the great Han Dynasty, there is no problem at all. I just hope that you can only occupy the south of Kucha City and the north of Kucha City as the place where our tribe herding horses are."
It turned out to be a rule of demarcation.
Lu Bu understood immediately.
These Huns didn't care much about a city. They cared about grasslands and pastoral areas.
"What else?"
"Han general, the leader of our tribe feels that there is no grain output near this Kucha, which will inevitably conflict with the survival of the Han people. If possible, our tribe is willing to sell livestock and exchange grain, iron and salt with the Han people."
The Huns had long wanted to obtain the salt and iron controlled by the Han court.
However, these things are strategic materials, and the Han people will still instinctively restrict the foreign races.
So basically, I won't agree with this.
Of course, because these Xiongnu were the Xiongnu, the Han court did not restrict it, and there would be some limits.
If Lu Bu wants to agree, it is not a violation of national policy restrictions, but he must be careful, after all, the ambitions of alien wolf men.
"What else?"
"The Han general, the leader of our division, means that I want to present you three Xiongnu beauties, and hope to cooperate more deeply with you."
