Once the war starts, the competition is not only the elite degree of the officers and men in the army, but also the logistical support, otherwise, even if an army has strong combat effectiveness, it is difficult to guarantee the weight of grain and grass, and the final result can only be defeat.

As the saying goes, the three armies go first without moving grain and grass, and without grain and grass as support, it is absolutely impossible.

Since the appearance of fairy jade has been sought after by merchants, the change in Pengcheng on the bright side is that the number of merchants in the past has increased, but the change in the secret is not to be underestimated, first of all, the establishment of the craftsman workshop outside the city, which is mainly to provide blades and armor for the soldiers in the army, and to provide fairy jade for Mi Zhu, which is also the most important place in Lu Bu's eyes, the craftsman workshop is established in the mountains outside the city, in order to avoid the approach of people with hearts, and around the craftsman workshop, there are soldiers in the army to guard it, ensuring the concealment of the craftsman workshop.

In fact, not only Xuzhou, but also the rest of the princes, the generals in the army need blades and armor, if you rely on the purchase, how much money is needed, the most appropriate way is to build it yourself, anyway, the influence of the imperial court among the princes has been reduced to a minimum, and it is also a top priority to take the opportunity to develop strength.

The princes were in competition with each other in developing their military power, and at such a time, if they did not develop their military power, they would face attacks from other princes.

Without the imperial court as a constraint, it is reasonable for the princes to fight in order to improve their own strength.

It is understandable that the princes should guard against each other and want to get more benefits in the hands of others.

The army of Xuzhou began to move in secret, although its whereabouts were relatively hidden, how could it hide from the eyes of the princes.

The mobilization of the Xuzhou army was concerned by Liu Dai and Qingzhou, and when they attacked and denounced Lü Bu's shameless past actions, they also secretly raised their vigilance, and the Xuzhou army led by Lü Bu was completely different from the Xuzhou army led by Tao Qian.

If not, why did the soldiers who followed Tao Qian in the past to drive Lu Bu out of Pengcheng still cultivate the fields under the command of Chen Deng, they were the defeated and should be punished accordingly.

Liu Dai is well aware of Lu Bu's combat effectiveness, if Lu Bu is provoked, it will be a great danger to Yanzhou, although there will be occasional Yellow Turban rebellion in Yanzhou, there will not be much of a problem.

"Zhongde, Xuzhou secretly has troops and horses transferred, what does Lu Bu want?" Liu Dai set his sights on Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu was a small official in Dong'e before, and during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he made a lot of contributions, coupled with the recommendation of Wang Yu, Liu Dai recruited Cheng Yu by his side and gave him advice, but Cheng Yu did not accept Liu Dai's appointment.

Liu Dai and Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao all have marriages, which is also to ensure the stability of Liu Dai's position, but after listening to Cheng Yu's analysis, Liu Dai decided to fully support Yuan Shao, which has a lot to do with Cheng Yu's influence.

Cheng Yu stroked his beard under his chin when he heard this, and said slowly: "What Lu Bu wants to do is to gain a foothold among the princes. ”

Seeing Liu Dai's puzzled look, Cheng Yu explained: "Although Lu Bu said that he broke away from Dong Zhuo and raised the banner against Dong Zhuo, the princes had many reprimands for Lu Bu and did not recognize his status as the pastor of Xuzhou. ”

"Hmph, I don't want that martial artist to have such a mind." Don't drive Wang Yu snorted disdainfully.

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Don't underestimate Lu Bu, Lu Bu has Jia Xu by his side, which cannot be ignored, now the Xuzhou Mi family has been attached to Lu Bu, and married Lu Bu, in a few years, Lu Bu's influence in Xuzhou will become more and more great." ”

"Jia Xu? In a certain opinion, it is just a rebellion under Dong Zhuo's account in the past. Wang Yu said disdainfully.

"In Zhongde's opinion, what should we do?" Liu Dai asked.

Cheng Yu said: "This matter can be reported to the alliance leader, listen to the alliance leader's decision, Dongjun Taishou Cao Cao is quite strategic, and there are thousands of elite soldiers under his command, which may be of great use to fight against Lu Bu." ”

Liu Dai nodded and said, "This is very true. ”

Although Cao Cao suffered a lot of losses in the war against Dong Zhuo, he still had a lot of influence among the princes, Yuan Shao recommended Cao Cao as the Taishou of Dongjun, Liu Dai did not refuse, and Cao Cao's soldiers were small at this time, could it still threaten his position in Yanzhou.

The number of soldiers and horses mobilized in Xuzhou is not very large, which makes the princes who are concerned about the movements of Xuzhou a little puzzled.

In June of the second year of the first peace, Liu Dai of Yanzhou, Yuan Yi of Shanyang, Cao Cao of Dongjun, Kong Rong, Minister of Beihai, and Liu Bei, Minister of Pingyuan, denounced Lü Bu's move to seize Xuzhou, and clearly opposed Lü Bu's rule in Xuzhou.

This was the first violent reaction of the princes' army after Lü Bu occupied Xuzhou.

For a time, the princes looked sideways.

In fact, the princes also understand in their hearts that the current princes are holding the banner of righteousness, just to make their faces look good, and how many can really take the Han family to heart, what they want is to get more benefits.

Now that Lu Bu is entrenched in Xuzhou, it is not a small influence on the surrounding princes, Lu Bu was born as a military general, not a member of the scholar clan, and he does not act according to common sense, if such a person is hidden by his side, it will be a big threat in the future.

And the princes are not sure whether Lu Bu's presence in Xuzhou is due to Dong Zhuo's secret order, if this is a chess piece set up by Dong Zhuo among the princes, the threat will be greater.

Eradicating Lu Bu as soon as possible has become the common aspiration of the princes, and after Lu Bu is eliminated, these hidden dangers will not exist.

Yuan Shu, who occupies the land of Yangzhou and Yuzhou, stood up at this time and justified Lu Bu's governance of Xuzhou, which made some princes shut up, anyway, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu have formed an alliance, and they must express something, as for whether Lu Bu can get out of this crisis, it is not up to Yuan Shu to influence.

If there is a big change in Xuzhou, Yuan Shu will definitely not mind interfering in it.

Lu Bu, dressed in military uniform, appeared in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the surrounding princes had already made their positions clear, in the past, they only had a lot of insults against him, but now it is a real battle of swords and guns.

Dongjun Taishou Cao Cao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, this is the power that belongs to Yanzhou, and the Beihai Xiang Kong Rong and the Plains Xiang Liu Bei represent the power of Qingzhou.

It's not that Lu Bu and Jia Xu don't value the strength of Qingzhou, but that the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou are rampant, otherwise, why would Gongsun Zan lead a large army to help pacify the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou.
