"The public station has a point. I immediately ordered Zhang Liao to lead his troops and horses to Pengchengguo to garrison, one does not lose the covenant with Liu Bei, and the other can also resist Cao Ren and Xiahoudun, delay time, wait for me to repel Yuan Shu, and then turn back to clean up Cao Cao. ”

"That's very good."

In this matter, Lu Bu and Chen Gong both have the same idea.

For Cao Cao, it can only be defended, not attacked.

For Yuan Shu, it is necessary to take tough measures and give the most fatal blow in the shortest possible time. Only in this way can the siege of Xuzhou be relieved, otherwise, if the troops are divided to attack, I am afraid that neither side will be pleased, and finally suppressed by the Cao Yuan coalition army.

"My lord, there is one more suggestion for the lowly position."

"Say."

Chen Gong said: "Nowadays, Ji Ling's new defeat and the army's fighting spirit are not fighting, it is the time for our army to counterattack, if we can concentrate the elite and hit the Yuan army hard, then the big thing can be decided." It was suggested that the two generals Luo Cheng and Gao Shun should go to the East China Sea and join forces with Fan Lihua to attack the enemy. ”

"If Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Luo Cheng are all transferred, won't my next Picheng be empty?"

"Don't worry, my army is in the front, and Cao Yuan has no time to take care of it."

Lu Bu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, just follow what you say." Taking advantage of Zhang Xun and Lei Bo's hesitation, the garrison Jian'an, we quickly counterattacked, if this move can be successful, it can protect Xuzhou for several years. ”

"The lord is wise."

Lu Bu has always been resolute in doing things, and after deciding to come down, he went to the North Campus Military Camp with Chen Gong.

At this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army, all the generals gathered.

Lu Bu said: "I just received the news that Cao Ren and Xiahoudun led tens of thousands of troops to invade my Pengcheng and couldn't hold on to Liu Beijun. Yuan Shu also had the potential to storm the East China Sea. Therefore, I will send you to help in the war. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Luo Cheng all showed ecstasy.

Luo Cheng said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, I asked the lord to fight, and if the lord agreed, I would almost arrive in Donghai County." ”

"It's not too late to fight."

"In that case, did the lord allow me to go to the East China Sea?" Luo Cheng asked.

Lu Bu said: "Not only you, but also Gao Shun will go with you." But there are some things that I want to say earlier. You are here to help the war, not to make trouble, and if you delay the fighter because of the competition for post-war resources, I will not take it lightly. ”

"Order." The two responded in unison.

"Zhang Liao."

"Yes."

Lu Budao: "You lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to Pengcheng to help Liu Bei." Between the strength of Cao Jun, it is really difficult to resist, I don't ask you to win, as long as you can block Cao Jun for three months, you will be considered meritorious. ”

"No."

After arranging, Lu Bu sat down slowly, glanced at Chen Gong, and said, "Mr. Gongtai, you also went to the East China Sea with the army, how about it?" ”

"The battle of the East China Sea is related to the life and death of my six counties in Xuzhou, and I am willing to serve." Chen Gong arched his hand and agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, tomorrow we will set up a banquet to see you off, and I wish you and others an early victory."

"Thank you, Lord."

Lu Bu smiled, called Chen Gong closer, and asked, "Gongtai, where is all that money?" ”

"Money? What money? ”

"It's the money that came out of the treasury."

Chen Gong said suddenly: "Don't worry, my lord, there are still 30 million copper coins, all of which are sealed in Lingyi Mansion." The lord asked, what is this for? ”

"It's nothing, just ask."

Lu Buxin said: "Don't ask clearly, how can I take it out and use it." ”

He had already thought that it was not enough to build a brothel on the enemy's territory, and that the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent meant not only knowing the enemy's situation, but also knowing one's own situation. Know what your officials are thinking, whether there are signs of resurgence in the big families in various places, and whether there are any traitors from the enemy who have broken into their official system. These need to be learned through the brothel. Therefore, it is necessary to build a brothel on its own territory.

And this, again, is talking about money ....

For Chen Gong, Lu Bu knows better, if he only takes away one or two hundred million, Chen Gong will not say anything, but if he takes too much, and even wants to serve it in one pot, it will definitely not work, and then he will chirp crookedly, all kinds of advice, instead of fighting a lawsuit with Chen Gong, it is better to drive Chen Gong to Donghai County. One is to help Fan Lihua, and the other is that he can also act boldly in Xiapi City.

The next day, Lu Bu held a banquet in the Assassin's Mansion to practice for the generals.

There was nothing special going on during the meal, it was just words of encouragement.

Subsequently, Zhang Liao led the army to Pengcheng.

Gao Shun, Luo Cheng, and Chen Gong led the army to the East China Sea.

Lu Bu walked up to the city tower and saw the two armies crawling on the ground like giant dragons, quickly swimming and disappearing; Lu Bu returned to the city and went directly to the Yingchun Pavilion.

The business of Yingchun Pavilion is still so good, and the people who come here to consume are full every day.

Lu Bu looked downstairs, followed a string of prostitutes (piao) upstairs, and entered the private room under the guidance of the welcome lady.

"Brother Fengxian, why did you have time to come to me?"

"I'm looking for you."

Lu Bu found a place to sit down and said, "Tomorrow, I will send another 10 million money, and you will open a brothel in each of the five counties of Linlang, Donghai, Pengcheng, Dongguan, and Guangling as soon as possible." Mainly help me keep an eye on the clans who have been beheaded by raiding their homes to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net, and I also need to pay attention to the officials below the county guard to see if they have different intentions. ”

"Yes."

Pan Jinlian took a pot of wine, poured it for Lu Bu, and said, "Brother Fengxian, if you want to rely on these brothels to firmly grasp the movements of the princes of all parties, it only costs tens of millions of dollars, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

"What do you mean?"

Pan Jinlian sat down and said, "Brother Fengxian, please think about it, all these brothels can do is to listen to the news, but if a high-ranking person doesn't come to the brothel, what should it do?" Even if Jin Lian has a thousand strategies, she can't use them. ”

"Therefore, if you want to obtain more comprehensive information, you must use a lot of money to buy internal responses and make friends with powerful people, and only by inserting countless pairs of eyes inside the enemy can we see what we want to see."

Lu Bu frowned and said, "I originally thought the same way, but it's not a small amount to buy Neiying and make friends with the powerful." As soon as I make a casual move, it's millions, tens of millions, where can I get so much money? ”

"I've thought of a good solution for Brother Fengxian, but I'm afraid that Brother Fengxian won't."

"Oh, is there a way not to say it sooner?."

Pan Jinlian said: "The most expensive thing nowadays, in addition to real estate, is a war horse, and the price of a war horse, but everything that is strong is worth 100,000 to 200,000 yuan a horse.... ”

"Damn, you don't want me to sell war horses, do you?"

Lu Bu said: "This is definitely a bad idea. I'd rather not run a brothel than sell horses. ”

The usefulness of war horses, Lu Bu knows. In this era of cold weapons, it can be said that he is the king on the battlefield, and he is the key to determining the outcome of the battle.

Lu Bu stood up and said: "Okay, don't worry about raising money, I'll find a way, you open all the brothels first, as for buying Neiying, befriending the powerful, and then talking about it when the money is raised." ”

"Yes."

Lu Bu took a sip of wine and left the Yingchun Pavilion in a leisurely manner.
