Chapter 125 Expansion

Three months later, Cao Cao fought with Lu Bu's army several times, but most of them were delaying and did not fight with all their strength. At the same time, the people in Yingchuan and Chenliu areas were moved to Luoyang.

"Lord, Cao Cao clearly wants to delay our army, why not chase after us with all his might? At least millions of people were moved away by him this time!" Xuchang City, in the empty city, occasionally you could hear a few barking dogs, and gain nothing, Wei Xu came to Lu Bu and asked.

"If he resists with all his might, our army will be just obtained and the people are not strong, and our army will become an isolated army. These 300,000 troops have just been transferred from Jiangdong. If they all look back, how can they suppress them?" Zhou Yu asked back.

"This..." Wei Xu looked at Zhou Yu with some dissatisfaction. This newcomer was a bit arrogant recently because of Lu Bu's favor.

"The result is the best now." Lu Bu looked at Xuchang City in front of him and smiled: "During this period, our army has been inflated and in chaos in various places. If we keep entangled with Cao Cao, there will be riots in the rear, and the people will live in poverty. Now Cao Cao is willing to give in like this and hand over the Central Plains, which saves a lot of trouble. Next, it needs to be managed as soon as possible, otherwise civil strife will arise!"

For Lu Bu, who had just annexed Yangzhou, Zang Ba took over most of Qingzhou in this battle, and the entire Yanzhou and Yuzhou were also earned by Lu Bu. The territory nearly doubled and the population five times. In this sudden expansion state, if it cannot be handled with caution, there may be indigestion reactions.

"What the lord said is right. Now that the Central Plains has been abandoned, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are newly defeated, they will not dare to invade. Our army has been exhausted for a long time, and most of the soldiers are new troops. They should not fight blindly. At present, they should focus on stabilizing the internal situation." Chen Gong was obviously very satisfied with Lu Bu's choice. This time, he took advantage of Cao Cao's retreat when he defeated Yuan Shao. He could be said to have taken a big advantage, but Lu Bu's own foundation was shallow. He just got Jiangdong, and then he annexed the land and population of Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou. At this time, even if Lu Bu has the ability to be in heaven, unless he is alone, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's troops are destroyed, otherwise fighting will hurt himself and it is not advisable.

"In addition, how to manage it is also a problem, and there must be a new constitution!" Lu Bu said solemnly.

In the past, there was only Xuzhou, and Lu Bu was also in charge of the position of governor of the prefecture, plus the five prefects, he could just hold the military power in his hands. But now it is different. Qing Xuyan and Yuyang, the population of the five prefectures has expanded ten times more than when he was only Xuzhou. At this time, it would not be enough to use the original management mechanism.

The five prefectures must have a governor, but the governor cannot have too much power, and it must also play a role in restraining and supervising the prefect. If the prefects of each county are selected by Lu Bu's previous method of using the method of using people, and those with enough talent around him will also add the prefects of the five prefectures. At this time, Lu Bu must have a system for selecting officials and cannot be as subjective as in Xuzhou.
