The further movements of Yuan Shu's army made Yanzhou tremble.

Xuzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Lu Bu sat in the top position, civil officials and military generals, lined up on both sides.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "Yanzhou is turbulent, the Yellow Turban is raging, Ben Hou, as a courtier of the Han family, should be mainly to stabilize the city, and the Yanzhou army is unable to deal with the attack of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, Ben Hou decided to send a large army into Yanzhou to pacify the chaos in Yanzhou." ”

Everyone looked at Lu Bu with burning eyes, for such a result, they had long expected it, since the end of the last war, the Xuzhou army seemed to be preparing for the next war, and now the grain and grass hoarded in Xuzhou, any prince would be dumbfounded when he saw it.

Only on the occasion of Lu Bu's wedding, the money and grain obtained reached 30,000 yuan, of which 10,000 yuan, all of which were traded with materials, 10,000 yuan, to buy rice grain, there could be as much as 900,000 stones, a soldier, consumed more than one stone of rice grain in a month, Xuzhou's current army is only nearly 40,000 yuan, and 10,000 yuan of rice and grain is enough for the army to fight for two months.

&; Besides, even if the Xuzhou army is out to war, it is impossible to dispatch all of them.

If there is no guarantee in the weight of grain and grass, it is simply impossible to expect the officers and men of the army to fight bravely on the battlefield to win the victory.

"Order Zhang Liao, lead an army of 2,000 people, go to Jibei and quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Jibei." Lu Bu gave the first order.

Many officials understood that what went to Jibei to pacify the Yellow Turban was because Lu Bu wanted to occupy Jibei.

Although Cao Cao's means were successful, defeating the Yellow Turbans in the territory in a short period of time, and adopting the Yellow Turbans for his own use, the turmoil in Yanzhou will not be calmed down in a short period of time, not the internal Yellow Turbans, but the threat from the princes' army.

The princes will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and when Yanzhou is in turmoil, it is the most important thing to seize more benefits from it.

Compared with the Chenliu County obtained by Yuan Shu's army, Jibei is just a place.

"Ordered Chen Xin, the commander of Lu State, to inquire about the news of the Yellow Turbans in Rencheng and Dongping, not to slack off, and beware of the Yellow Turbans attacking the city."

This is Lu Bu's first arrangement on the battlefield of Yanzhou, Taishan County and Lu State, both have 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the army under Zhang Liao was originally divided from the Xuzhou army, and the combat effectiveness is not comparable to the strength of Lu State, and there are 500 cavalry under Zhang Liao's command.

"Gao Shun obeys the order." Lu Bu raised his voice abruptly.

"The end will be." Gao Shun Zheng came out of the queue.

Lu Budao: "Benhou appointed you as the vanguard of the Xuzhou Army, led 3,000 soldiers to Gaoping, opened roads in the mountains, built bridges in the water, equipped with 500 cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and inquired about the news along the way. ”

"Whoa." Gao Shun hugged his fists, his voice was a little excited, the vanguard army is of great significance to an army, and Lu Bu was able to hand over the affairs of the vanguard army to him, which already showed his status in Lu Bu's heart.

Since breaking away from Dong Zhuo, Gao Shun found that Lu Bu had many differences in treating him, not to mention others, just the current equipment of the trapping camp is enough to make the general team daunted, all the hundred refining blades, and the armor worn are also the most sophisticated, so the appearance of such a team is often on the ground, what a bloody storm will be set off.

The generals in the army looked at Gao Shun with envy, and the vanguard army had more opportunities to get credit, representing the most elite force of the Xuzhou army.

"The affairs of the vanguard are of great importance, and we must not slack off, and if there is negligence, military law will be carried out." Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

"Humble duty understands." Gao Shun hugged his fists.

This is a test of Gao Shun's ability, if Gao Shun can be qualified for the position of the vanguard army, and the Xuzhou army wins on the battlefield of Yanzhou, Gao Shun will get a lot of credit, which is also certain.

"The rest of the generals, prepare for battle, Wei Xu led three thousand soldiers to guard Pengcheng, and Guo Jia followed the army."

After the order was issued, the Xuzhou army immediately began to be busy, and the army needed to prepare for the battle, among which the busiest were Jia Xu and Mi Zhu, who were responsible for the dispatch of grain and grass.

Leaving Jia Xu and Mi Zhu to guard Pengcheng, Lu Bu could be more assured to compete with Cao Cao and Yuan Shu on the battlefield of Yanzhou.

Xuzhou is the foundation of Lu Bu, if Pengcheng is lost, the army will definitely return in vain, the current Xuzhou is stable, no one can be sure, there will be a force against him behind him, especially Yuan Shu, has to be guarded against.

Yuan Shu, as a powerful prince, would definitely not be willing to let Lu Bu sit in Xuzhou, if he took advantage of Xuzhou to send troops into Yanzhou and attack Xuzhou, the impact would be great, and these factors should be taken into account.

In this campaign, in addition to the soldiers and horses of Taishan County and Lu State, the Xuzhou army will dispatch 20,000 people, which is enough to reflect the importance of this battle.

Xiapi and Donghai sent 1,500 soldiers to the army respectively, and Zang Ba was on guard against the Qingzhou army, and there was a lot of unhappiness between Lu Bu and Kong Rong and Liu Bei before, and no one was sure that the Qingzhou army would make a move when Xuzhou sent troops.

The Xuzhou army was busy, which made the atmosphere in Pengcheng a little solemn, and the news that Lu Bu would dispatch troops and generals to enter the Yanzhou battlefield spread quickly in the city.

After Han Yin learned about it, he was complacent, with the dispatch of the Xuzhou army, Yuan Shu would get more benefits on the battlefield in Yanzhou, in order to capture Yanzhou, Yuan Shu dispatched a full 50,000 troops, which was an unattainable number of the Xuzhou army.

And Yanzhou engaged in Wang Kai, is worried, anyone can see how critical the current situation in Yanzhou is, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu dispatched the army, just to help Yanzhou pacify the Yellow Turban is so simple, there is no such cheap thing, the princes in order to develop their own strength, but also do not compromise means, Yuan Shao can oppose the guest to seize Jizhou, why can't the rest of the princes follow suit.

This is an era of princes competing for hegemony, when the influence of the court is not there, and the princes have military power in their hands, they will try their best to improve their strength, as for whether they will have the Han family in their hearts after the strength is improved, it is another matter.

Not only the princes compete, but also the opportunity for strategists and generals to display their talents, as the so-called heroes in troubled times, originally unknown people, as long as they have greater achievements at such times, they will be remembered by the world, just like Jia Xu, although he had a certain reputation before, compared with his current status, it must be much worse.

The rise of Lu Bu was accompanied by the appearance of civil officials and military generals who followed behind Lu Bu.

The officials of the state pastoral office also began to be busy with intense work.
