Sun Shangxiang was overjoyed and said to Lu Bu: "General Lu, it's okay now, when will I take office?" ”

"Anytime. And now there is no war, you just need to report every day, and you don't have to follow Mu Guiying all the time. Because she also has her own business, if you follow her all the time, it will hinder her. ”

"Got it."

After settling Sun Quan's old ministry and Sun Shangxiang, he won unanimous praise from them.

Putting aside the first meeting, Lu Bu still gave them a very good impression. Trustworthy and loyal. However, I have already said before that it is not good to go back on one's word.

So... You can only go to Wenxian Pavilion and Wuying Hall first, and take the title of Wenxian Pavilion Scholar and Wuying Hall Warrior.

As for teaching students, it can be considered in the long run.

Eight years of Jian'an.

In the middle of the first month.

The Academy of Science and Technology rushed to produce the first batch of automobiles, a total of 1,200 vehicles.

(Note: Since the Academy of Science and Technology originally had more than a thousand eight-horse chariots, it was easy to manufacture.) Just replace the horses with a steam engine. If it is to be remanufactured, the human, material and financial resources spent will be a huge number. ）

Lu Bu gave the car a name, called the Dongfeng Chariot!

"Huh... My lord, these 1,200 cars... The Dongfeng chariot can be... Can undertake... Carrying all the generals of the First Army... Soldiers and cannons, baggage. If... If the road section is good, every... Every day you can... More than 400 miles on the march! Ma Jun said excitedly.

Lu Bu glanced at the rows of chariots in the distance, placed on the large playground of the Academy of Science and Technology, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, the soldiers are fast." With these tanks, the combat effectiveness of the First Army can be strengthened a lot. ”

"Yes. I... We are still continuing to manufacture and are expected to... It is expected that within two years, again... Build another 2,400 cars.... ”

Lu Bu walked to the side of a chariot, looked at it carefully, and asked, "1,200 chariots, you need 1,200 drivers, can your science and technology institute get them together?" ”

"This..."

Ma was embarrassed and said, "I... How can we have a driver? ”

Lu Bu sat in the cab, shook the two iron rods in front of him, and said, "This kind of chariot is not something that anyone can drive, and it must go through strict training. ”

"Yes."

"Your science and technology institute can train dozens of people first. Drive the chariots to Guyang City in batches and hand them over to the First Army. I will instruct Xu Shu to select a group of clever soldiers and learn to drive. ”

"No."

Lu Bu stayed at the Academy of Science and Technology for a while, and instructed Ma Jun to build more steam engines. Because the next step is not only to build the Dongfeng chariot, but also to install the steam engine on Gan Ning's warship.

Compared with building a chariot, the matter of rebuilding a warship is more important.

Return to the military aircraft.

Lu Bu told Chen Gong and Jia Xu about the Dongfeng chariot.

Jia Xu said: "With these chariots, our new army can get out of Huainan and reach the border to support the battlefield on the front line within a day." Its military value is far superior to that of ordinary combat vehicles. ”

"Well, you can make it in large quantities by the Institute of Science and Technology. Not only for the new army, but also for other armies. For example, the faster the transportation of troops, food, baggage, etc., the better. Chen Gong said.

Both were thrilled.

If the Dongfeng chariot is commonly used in the four states, the speed of national strength increase will be very terrifying.

Lu Bu was happy for a while, and said seriously: "We are now facing three problems. ”

"First, the official roads of Xu, Yang, Jing and Jiaozhou are mostly dirt roads, which are difficult to bear the weight of the Dongfeng chariot. It is necessary to let the local government, organize manpower, and replace it with gravel roads. ”

"The second is that the steam engine requires a lot of wood and water. We should build a post station every ten miles near the official road, and stock up on wood and water to ensure that our chariots can be replenished at any time. ”

"The third is... Combat vehicles need drivers, can we train some? ”

After listening to Lu Bu's words, Chen Gong and Jia Xu both agreed.

Chen Gong said: "The minister will send someone to do it immediately." ”

"Hmm."

"One more thing..."

Lu Bu suddenly thought of Xue Rengui, the deputy general under Li Cunxiao, who had been in the Flying Tiger Army for half a year, and although he had not made any military exploits, he was already qualified enough to serve in the local area.

Lu Bu said: "I want to transfer Xue Rengui to Xuzhou and serve as the commander of the Divine Shooting Battalion, what do you think?" ”

Marksmanship battalion?

The two were a little confused.

Lu Bu explained: "That's right. Ewha sent a letter saying that a sharpshooter battalion of 20,000 men was to be formed, all of which were equipped with three-bowed crossbows according to the standards of the Second and Third Armies. So far, the Armory has produced more than 12,000 powerful crossbows. I'm afraid that Pear Blossom and others will be in a hurry, so I will first transfer some from the Second Army and the Third Army and send them to her. Wait for the strong crossbow of the armory workshop to be manufactured, and then replenish it to the new army. What do you think? ”

"It's... Not okay? Chen Gong smiled bitterly: "Isn't it obvious that the new army is bullying the new army by drawing strong crossbows from the new army that has already been equipped?" If the generals of the Second and Third armies knew about it, I am afraid that there would be complaints. ”

Lu Bu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

He had already promised Fan Lihua that he would send the equipment within two months.

Jia Xu understood Lu Bu's thoughts, and played a round: "There's nothing wrong with it." There are 100,000 strong crossbows in Qingzhou, threatening Xuzhou at any time, and we will first draw equipment from the new army and make up for it afterwards, which is also a helpless thing. It's all about the big picture. ”

"Wenhe's words are deeply in line with my intentions."

Lu Bu hurriedly said: "Just let Xue Rengui escort the equipment to Xuzhou, and then let him stay under Fan Lihua's tent to lead the Marksman Battalion, what do you think?" ”

"Okay."

For Xue Rengui, Chen Gong and Jia Xu don't know much. However, according to the report of the Ministry of War, Xue Rengui has a set of training soldiers, and he will be able to give full play to the role of the sharpshooter battalion if he commands the sharpshooter battalion.

this day.

It was overcast and it seemed like it was going to rain.

Lu Bu sat in the study and reviewed the folds.

"Lord, lord..."

He Shen came happily and reported to Lu Bu: "Cao Cao sent someone to come just now, and returned us 40,000 stone grain and 20 million copper coins. In addition, they also gave 10,000 stone of grain to buy Sima Yi, hehe... ”

"You promised?"

Lu Bu put down what he was doing and raised his head sharply.

He Shen felt that something was wrong, but he still replied truthfully: "I agreed, Sima Yi is just a small Wenxian Pavilion attendant, and he can sell it for 10,000 stones, isn't it profitable?" ”

"Earn a fart!"

Lu Bu stood up and asked with some eagerness, "How long has Cao Cao's convoy been going?" ”

"About an hour."

"Immediately inform Xiang Yu, lead the military camp to chase, and be sure to recover Sima Yi. If Cao's army resists, destroy them on the spot! ”

"No."

He Shen knew that he had caused a big disaster and wanted to go to herald.

Lu Bu advised: "You have to tell Xiang Yu that no matter what, you can't let Sima Yi run away." Even if you chase him to the city of Xudu, he must recover Sima Yi, or come back to see me with his head. ”

"No."

He Shen's face changed and changed, and he crawled away.
