Chapter 74: Unforeseen Circumstances in the Sky

Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu are the strongest in the army, and they are the ones who command the Longwei Army and break the barracks, which is what everyone wants, and although the generals are greedy, they dare not say more. As for Gao Shun, the trapping camp is his, and if he changes generals, it will be difficult to convince the public.

So, the commander of the Dragon Guard, the broken barracks, and the trapped camp made a happy decision.

Lu Bu nodded, and continued: "These three elites, there are 11,000 people, they should be selected from the soldiers of the whole army, and the generals should not be disturbed. ”

"Gao Shun."

"Yes."

Lu Bu glanced at him and said: "Your trapping camp will be expanded to three thousand people, and its combat effectiveness is already very strong. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Gao Shun said with a smile: "The last general understands that after I select the elite, I will distribute the other troops under my command to the generals." ”

"Very well, just do as you say."

Lu Bu was very satisfied.

If you want to talk about Gao Shun, you can't do martial arts, and you can't fight wars, but there is nothing to say about the talent of training soldiers. Trapping the camp is the best proof that it is not something that ordinary people can do to form a powerful combat force of just 800 people.

Lu Bu also had high hopes for him, if he could train the three thousand trapping camp, then his combat effectiveness would definitely increase exponentially.

Next, LΓΌ Bu began to distribute soldiers to the generals.

Fan Lihua made up for the dead soldiers and still commanded 70,000 troops.

Zhang Liao expanded his army to 30,000.

Luo Cheng expanded his army to 20,000 (including more than 6,000 light cavalry).

These 130,000 people are all the regular troops under Lu Bu's command at present.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the soldiers and horses have been distributed to you, and whether you can turn the recruits into elites depends on your ability. Especially the Dragon Guard, the broken barracks, and the camp, can be called the elite of the elite, if it is not even as good as Fan Zhangluo's army, then don't be ashamed, go home and pick up the child. ”

"Rest assured, the lord (father) will not disgrace our lives." Xiang Yu, Gao Shun, and Li Yuanba responded in unison.

After distributing the soldiers and horses, Lu Bu also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Gongtai, if I attack Yangzhou at this time, is there really no chance of winning?" After the generals left, Lu Bu left Chen Gong behind and asked very hesitantly.

In fact, he couldn't make up his mind. Cao Cao went to Si Li, and he had no time to take care of Yuan Shu, if he inserted Yuan Shu at this time, he might be able to destroy Yuan Shu.

"The lord shall not. Yuan Shu's strength is still very strong. Chen Gong said: "My lord, think about it, since the independent prince took Xuzhou, how many people from the big families have been killed. If we attack Yangzhou with great fanfare, wouldn't it make the Yangzhou clan even more desperate to help Yuan Shu? When our soldiers are on the verge of Shouchun, we will not only face Yuan Shu, but also the entire Yangzhou clan. Are they worried that the lord will kill them after he gets Yangzhou, and he won't defend Yangzhou desperately? ”

"The public station has a point."

Lu Bu snorted coldly: "Then wait a little longer, wait for the autumn harvest to pass, and then compete with Yuan Shu." ”

After more than a month of hard work, the craftsmen finally built the factory. two distilleries, a paper mill, a ceramics factory, three large warehouses; The breweries, paper mills, and ceramic workshops on the street were all closed, and all the facilities and workers were moved here. Lu Bu personally visited Nancheng and held a large-scale opening ceremony. It was announced that from today, the Nancheng plant will officially start construction.

Pan Jinlian returned from the north and reported to LΓΌ Bu.

In the Yingchun Pavilion, Pan Jinlian faced Lu Bu and said with a smile: "Brother Fengxian must not have imagined how surprised and loved Yuan Shao's strategists when they saw our world's first paper. I can't wait to snatch it right away, and I will provide it like a baby. If I hadn't identified myself and said that a lot of blank paper was in Xuzhou, I am afraid I would not have been able to come back. ”

"You're doing a good job, I'm glad you're sorry."

"Being able to share the worries of Brother Fengxian, Jin Lian doesn't feel fortunate." She looked at Lu Bu, her eyes full of affection.

"Ahem..."

Lu Bu coughed lightly twice, quickly avoided her gaze, and said, "Jin Lian, is there any news of Liu Bei?" ”

"Brother Fengxian's question is really timely, and I just received a tip-off. After Liu Bei left Xuzhou, he went to Runan County, Yuzhou to settle down, and when Cao Cao's army pressed the border, he couldn't resist it, so he abandoned Runan and went to Jingzhou to seek refuge in Liu Biao. Liu Biao was worried that Cao Cao would attack Jingzhou, so he took Liu Bei in and asked him to temporarily stay in Xinye Town. ”

"Sure enough, just like I thought."

Lu Bu thought in his heart that Liu Bei in history, after losing Xuzhou, also went to Jingzhou. Although the history is not the same as the current year, the general historical trend has not changed.

"Liu Bei went to Jingzhou, and he can't fight against me for the time being, your attention should be on Yangzhou and Yanzhou, especially Yangzhou, I will ask Yuan Shu after the autumn harvest, you keep an eye on him for me, see those big families, what do you think."

"Yes."

In the blink of an eye, two months later.

In the past two months, the Chengnan Paper Mill has made 200,000 dollars of white paper.

Lu Bu originally planned to send Luo Cheng to escort the white paper and complete the transaction. But after thinking about it, I felt that Luo Cheng was not suitable, because Luo Cheng wanted to train new soldiers and it was not appropriate to leave the barracks. And now, he is anxious to get anger points, if the person sent by Yuan Shao is a famous person, then as long as he plays a little trick, he can make up another 40 anger points, and at that time, he can summon fierce generals again.

This temptation is not insignificant, how can Lu Bu let it go?

When everything was ready, he took Li Yuanba and two thousand dragon guards to escort forty carts of white paper to the riverside.

The sky was overcast and the cold wind howled.

There were dark clouds in the sky, like a precursor to a storm.

On the official road, forty carriages galloped forward, followed by two thousand mighty soldiers. Lu Bu and Li Yuanba ran at the front, looking at the gloomy weather, with sad faces.

"It's going to rain..."

Lu Bu looked at Li Yuanba and ordered: "Yuanba, you lead the army here, I'll go to the front to investigate and find a place to stay." ”

"Yes."

Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse, galloped all the way forward, and ran a long way before he saw that there was a simple and dilapidated town.

"Whew... Call.... "Suddenly, a strong wind blew in the dark sky.

As Lu Bu galloped his horse, he felt a chill on his face.

He was shocked: "It's not good, it's raining,, my white paper!" Lu Bu didn't dare to delay, turned his horse's head, and hurried towards the road he had come.

When he ran back, he found that forty carts of white paper, all of which had been soaked by the rain, were like dough, inseparable from each other, and had completely lost their effect.

"Father-in-law, I'm sorry...." Li Yuanba hurriedly admitted his mistake.

Lu Bu glanced at the white paper like the dough, and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's go to the small town in front of us to rest, find hundreds of boxes, and pack all these white papers, as long as the boxes are not opened, how can Yuan Shao know if it is good or bad?" ”

After saying that, the team moved forward as usual...
