The great war of the three kingdoms thirty-three Fu Nan Rong clever words said old father, Lü Bu was transferred to serve as the governor of Dai.

  Lü Bu left, the scene at the provincial government office was very awkward, and Fu Xian dispersed the banquet. After everyone left, Fu Xian said to Fu Shou: "I regret listening to my son's words, what should I do now?"

  Fu Hengdao said, "When the young master rewarded Lü Bu's soldiers, he often chatted with Lü Bu and understood his temperament. Lü Bu was born in a poor family, so he likes to benefit. He is straightforward by nature, but values loyalty. Every day, he is with his soldiers, so he regards them as his relatives. Now, for the sake of saving Beidi, if one-tenth of his soldiers are injured or killed, he will surely be heartbroken. Therefore, comforting him is not something that should be done stingily."

  Fu Xian was worried that he would give too little, but Lü Bu wouldn't agree, and it wasn't clear how much to give. So he asked Fu Shou: "My son, what do you think is the best way to appease Lü Bu?"

  Fu Xiandao said: "Father, have you ever thought about this? We once watched Lü Bu defeat the enemy on the city wall. Lü Bu led his cavalry in a surprise attack on the Xiongnu, and they saw that the Xiongnu were only attacking the city and had no rear guard. This was a clever move, as he took advantage of the situation to attack the unprepared enemy. This is one example of Lü Bu's intelligence.

  Secondly, even if a wise person sees an opportunity, they can still attack the unprepared enemy. However, Lü Bu's cavalry was less than 300, while the Xiongnu had over 3,000 horsemen, more than ten times that of Lü Bu. Yet, Lü Bu saw the opportunity and did not give up, using his small force to defeat the larger one. This shows Lü Bu's bravery.

  Lü Bu led his army in a well-organized attack and defense, although I don't know what formation his cavalry was in. However, they moved in an orderly manner, and when faced with obstacles, they did not stop. When attacked, they were not defeated. Their advances and retreats were all in order, which shows Lü Bu's military tactics.

  Lü Bu has both bravery and strategy, and his tactics are exceptional. His talent is unmatched by ordinary people. Now, however, Lü Bu is just a discarded general of the northern region. This is truly a waste of a talented person.

  Currently, there is no governor in the north, so why doesn't Father recommend Lü Bu for the position? If Lü Bu were to become the governor, pacifying the region would be an easy task."

  Fu Xian was shocked when he heard Fu Shuo say that he wanted to recommend Lü Bu as the Governor of Beidi. He looked at Fu Shuo and said, "Recommend Lü Bu as the Governor of Beidi?!"

  Fu Xiandao said: "The northern region is a land of cold and suffering. In the north, there are frequent raids by the Xianbei, and in the west, the Huns rebel without warning. The western regions of Liangzhou are poor and barren, and the provincial government can barely take care of itself. The Qiang people are mostly fierce and unruly, causing constant disturbances. Although the imperial court has upright officials, there are many petty individuals who obstruct their path. It is difficult for the words of upright officials to reach the ears and eyes of the emperor. If national policies are not implemented, it will be difficult for this land to be at peace. My northern region is a land of many difficulties, and only an extraordinary person can guard it. Lü Bu may be brutal and tyrannical, but he does not lack intelligence and bravery. When governing the desolate and barbarous lands, one should use someone who is also brutal and tyrannical to govern them. This is using their own methods against themselves. The northern border cannot be intimidated by anyone other than Lü Bu."

  Fu Xian sighed and said: "My son's words are polite, but... if we recommend Lü Bu, I'm afraid we will also suffer punishment."

  Fu Xiandao said, "We eat the salary of the imperial court. If we can plan for the country, it's nothing to bear some grievances. Moreover, I see that Lü Bu is not a lawless person, but rather a rough and unreasonable one. Just look at how he treats his soldiers with kindness and the people with affection, and you can tell that this man is not evil."

  Fu Xian nodded and said: "Very well, you can go tell Lü Bu. I will gather the officials again tomorrow to discuss this matter."

  Fu Xiandao said: "The child will go to find Lü Bu, just remember that father. The Right General must have no objection, only the Left General..."

  Fu Xian smiled and said: "How could I not see through it? You can rest assured."

  Fu Xie then went to find Lü Bu again, saying that he would recommend him. The next day, Fu Xian gathered the officials to discuss the recommendation. Hao Meng didn't need to be told, and Duan Yi also knew it was best not to really offend Lü Bu. He wanted the Longshi to guarantee his Left General position wouldn't be taken away, and there were no objections. So everyone discussed and agreed, then invited Lü Bu again. Lü Bu heard that he had been recommended as the Governor of Beidi and hadn't expected it at all. In his heart, he thought: He had only intimidated them to get more money and grain, but unexpectedly got a big official position instead. Overjoyed, he accepted without hesitation.

  Nature. Civil and military officials all remained the same, and Lü Bu even specially invited civil and military officials to drink and feast together. Of course. The recommendation was made by the prefecture, but the imperial court had not yet appointed an official, so Lü Bu was only a temporary governor, and the officials of Beidi Prefecture would first follow his arrangements, waiting for the imperial court's appointment letter to arrive before they could truly recognize him as their governor.

  Lü Bu didn't think so, he thought that when Wang Piao first recommended him as a military marquis, he had done quite well. Later, the appointment of officials did not come down yet. So Lü Bu was not polite when he became the Taishou of Beidi. First, he sent Gao Shun back to Shuofang and moved his family to Maliang. Then he merged the three cavalry units of Shuofang into his own personal bodyguards. He then transferred some soldiers from Beidi to Shuofang, appointed Wei Xu as the military marquis of Shuofang, and guarded Shuofang. Lü Bu knew that there were many damaged long walls and narrow passes in the territory of Beidi, so he recruited workers to repair and thicken them, and also ordered Zang Ba to lead soldiers to guard them. The original number of soldiers in Beidi was not many, and after being transferred by Lü Bu, they were almost all gone. Therefore, Lü Bu again posted a recruitment notice to recruit soldiers, with a total of more than 4,000 soldiers guarding Shuofang, the long walls and narrow passes, and the counties of Beidi. Adding to this the nearly 400 personal bodyguards of Lü Bu, there were a total of 5,000 cavalry and infantry in Beidi.

  There were soldiers but no armor, which didn't suit Lü Bu's temperament. So Lü Bu thought of recruiting craftsmen to manufacture armor and defensive equipment for the city. After Lü Bu was appointed as the governor of Beidi by Fu Xian, within a short period of a few months, he spent all the stored money and grain in Beidi.

  This matter of repairing the army is a public affair, and Fu Xian naturally had nothing to say. However, the money and grain were all spent, which wasn't a good thing either. Fu Shuo then went to find Lü Bu to complain: "Lord Lü, repairing the army is indeed necessary, but you've only been here for less than a month, and the stored money and grain in the northern region have already been completely used up by you. What will we do next year?"

  Lü Bu didn't care about government affairs, only knowing how to repair and maintain military equipment. He asked Fu Xian for money and grain without hesitation, never expecting that he would use up all the stored money and grain in the north so quickly. How could he know that Fu Xian saw Lü Bu spending everything on military affairs, naturally not daring to refuse? Now there's no more money or grain, but Lü Bu still wants to manufacture armor and equipment, it's impossible for him to produce them even if he wanted to. With no other choice, he came crying in desperation.

  Lü Bu heard that the stored money and grain were all gone, so he started thinking: It seems that there are many Southern Xiongnu in the northern border. So he asked Fu Xiao: "How many Xiongnu tribes are there in the northern border?"

  Gao Shun immediately knew what Lü Bu was going to do. Fu Xian, however, did not understand at first and said: "This is indeed difficult to estimate accurately for the time being, but within the borders of Beidi, there are mostly Left Wing Xiongnu, as well as some Jie, Di, Qiang and Hu people living together, with a total of several dozen tribes, probably over 100,000 people."

  Lü Bu heard the music, and thought to himself: "With such a grand ceremony, there must be over 10,000 guests. The horses, cattle, sheep, and treasures will surely be plentiful." Lü Bu's heart was filled with desire, his mouth slightly upturned, like a hungry tiger eyeing its prey. Fu Xian saw this and found it strange, asking: "Uh... sir, what's going on?"

  Lü Bu withdrew his thoughts and laughed: "Hehe, don't worry, Zhang Su, I have my own way of getting the money and grain." Then he said to Gao Shun: "Go and summon the Metropolitan Commandant to come to the military camp to discuss matters." Gao Shun took orders and left.

  Lü Bu spoke kindly and entrusted Fu Wan with no need to worry about money and food, then left the county office for the military camp.

  But after Lü Bu became the governor of Beihai, Duan Cheng was worried that Lü Bu would trouble him because of his previous transfer. He didn't know that Lü Bu had no time to bother with such trivial matters. Duan Cheng was thinking too much. When he saw Gao Shun come to discuss military affairs, he thought Lü Bu wanted to find fault with him and felt uneasy. So he called his fellow townsman Wen Si to follow him and help him respond when the time came.
