Chapter 557 Dividends(1/3)
The first year after the expedition set off.
Lu Bu led his 40,000 troops to complete the cavalry supply in Bingzhou, and organized more than 20,000 elite cavalry.
Then he killed thirteen generals under Shanyu, the Southern Xiongnu.
Completely beat down the Southern Huns who were already a little restless, had dissatisfaction with the Han Dynasty, and wanted to secretly engulf Bingzhou.
After this battle, Lu Bu confirmed his unparalleled reputation in the eyes of the southern Huns.
Later, they forced the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu to lead his troops to fight with him.
The Southern Huns had no choice but to be bound into Lu Bu's chariot.
However, in this regard, the Southern Huns did not have much rebellious heart.
The reason is naturally because Lu Bu is too strong, and more importantly, such a strong person is still their ally!
Do you think this kind of thing is outrageous?
With such a powerful ally by their side, they can do many things just by attacking.
Moreover, this trip is to go to the depths of the grassland to bring back the place where their ancestors lived.
Although these people have no local sentiments.
But for things like revenge, no matter what kind of person they are, they will be very passionate about it.
With the Southern Huns leading the way.
Lu Bu never worried about getting lost on the grassland after that.
In addition, this trip mobilized almost all the military and civilian resources of the Southern Huns.
The supplies for the army along the way were the cattle and sheep they grazed.
At first, the Northern Huns army looked down upon Lu Bu, a little-known general.
In addition, the Southern Huns who had been beaten away by him before came running over.
They are naturally arrogant and terrible.
The first step was to use the absolute superior force to surround and kill Lu Bu and others on this grassland.
Unfortunately.
They misestimated Lu Bu's strength, and also roughly estimated that the military qualities Qin Yu had carefully cultivated had already overwhelmed contemporary professional soldiers.
Only touched it once.
The Northern Huns cavalry was completely crushed.
Even the military method of riding and shooting, which they are best at flying kites.
In front of the excellent armor Qin Yu equipped these elite soldiers.
It's just like scratching an itch.
In addition, these soldiers themselves are extremely powerful.
Those with the weakest strength have now reached the level of perfection.
After they also started riding and shooting.
The ten-stone bow in his hand completely ignored the range disadvantage caused by being kited.
On the contrary, they were out of the range of the kite-flying cavalry of the Northern Huns, and took the lead in carrying out a brutal bloodbath on them with mounted archery.
How could these Huns, who were galloping on the grasslands and didn't have many resources themselves, see such a terrifying army?
After a wave of beatings that made them dizzy, the result was that they couldn't even run away.
They gathered a total of 200,000 troops.
Then Lu Bu led a wave of southern Huns to kill them.
Lu Bu was not surprised at all by this result.
The soldiers behind him are first-class elite soldiers.
And those so-called Northern Huns troops with an army of 200,000.
There is no such thing as a professional soldier.
Most of the 200,000-strong army were just herdsmen who had been grazing their cattle before.
These herders got on their horses and became soldiers.
The Cangshu that were killed now ran around in panic, waiting until Lu Bu wiped them all out.
The only tribes they left behind were the old, weak, women and children.
Naturally, it became Lu Bu's trophy.
For these trophies, Lu Bu naturally followed the reward and punishment methods that Qin Yu had already formulated.
According to the amount of military merit, some of the cattle and sheep were distributed to those of the Southern Huns.
The remaining cattle and sheep were slaughtered on the spot and used as military rations.
As for furs and goods, they were all sent back to Luoyang.
The Southern Huns watched with envy as the endless carts of goods headed towards Luoyang City.
Compared with the cattle and sheep they had been allocated before, there were really many of them.
They are inevitably greedy in their hearts, but they also know that they did not win these things by themselves.
Someone once expressed his dissatisfaction with Lu Bu in the military camp after being drunk.
The next day, everyone who had drank with him was punished by military law, and their heads were hung on the camp gate.
Very cruel.
The Southern Huns were naturally dissatisfied and fearful.
But no one dared to mutiny or have the slightest hint of rebellion.
There is no other reason, just because Lu Bu's strength is too strong and his army is too elite.
Even if they want to rebel, there is no chance of success.
Instead of being envious and jealous of the treasures that have been sent back to Luoyang City.
It would be better to set your sights on the royal court of the Northern Huns.
As long as they can defeat the Royal Court and make enough contributions in this battle.
In the end, are you still worried that the spoils will not be distributed?
They all know very well that when Lu Bu, a peerless villain, was in Luoyang, he followed Qin Yu, Prime Minister Qin.
I thought that Qin Yu, the prime minister, didn't have much ability.
But now it seems that they have really underestimated Qin Yu.
I also underestimated the terror of the big man.
Now that they have calmed down their mentality, they only regard Qin Yu as the pinnacle strongman among the Han Dynasty.
As long as someone can suppress Lu Bu, they don't believe that Lu Bu can really take the risk of offending Qin Yu, ignore the law and insist on deducting the military merit that should belong to them.
Once you do this kind of behavior, it will destroy your future.
So, in the third month after the army went out for the campaign.
Lu Bu had already rushed to the depths of the grassland with his men.
In the fourth month, the Northern Huns mobilized heavy troops and wanted to fight Lu Bu to the death again.
Was defeated again by Lu Bu.
In the fifth month, the trophies captured previously were returned to Luoyang City.
Then, through the merchant families controlled by Qin Yu, these trophies were quickly exchanged for gold and silver.
Transferred to the national treasury.
Naturally, part of these harvested gold and silver properties also became dividends to the 'shareholders' who had previously invested in Qin Yu's grand strategy.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The largest shareholder among them is naturally Liu Hong.
But even with Liu Hong's shares, it is not too much in front of the entire Han Dynasty's treasury.
But even so, when this wave of wealth came back, Liu Hong was given at least two shares at the price of three men.
Liu Hong was very happy with the free money he gave him.
Before this, he had never imagined that he could make money like this.
As long as he invests money in it and wins the battle, he will get very generous returns.
And not only is he making money, but more importantly, he is now engaged in a foreign war!
Foreign wars did not require him to bear much financial expenditure, and he actually made some money.
