Xiang Yu shook the soil on his body, and arched his hand and said, "Where does my brother speak, how can I be as knowledgeable as him." ”

"Brother, I'm afraid I can't say this, right?" Lu Bu quipped.

"No, no, no. He's still a child, how can I be so hungry? When he said this, Xiang Yupi didn't smile, obviously unhappy.

Lu Bu saw it in his eyes and comforted: "Don't be unconvinced, although my righteous son is not very old and still looks sick, he has excellent martial arts and natural power." Just a few days ago, Cao Cao attacked, and it was I who joined forces with him to kill Cao Cao's 100,000 army. Compared with your brother, it's even better. Therefore, it is not a shame to draw with him. If my brother has time, he might as well ask me the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army to see if anyone disobeys him? ”

"Oh? So, I really underestimated him. ”

After Lu Bu's persuasion, Xiang Yu gradually changed his opinion. He originally thought that he was an eight-foot man, and he lost to a little child, how would he lead the troops to fight in the future, but he didn't expect that this little child would be a figure of the three armies, so there was no need to mind anymore.

"Don't worry, my lord, I won't compete with him again in the future, if I want to compete, I will compete on the battlefield to see who will kill the most generals and kill the most enemies." Xiang Yu's face was open-minded and proud.

"Hahaha... Okay, this is my good big brother, with you here, I don't have to be afraid of anything. Lu Brown laughed, turned and left the barracks.

After breakfast, Chen Gong came to the Assassin's Mansion to discuss military affairs with Lu Bu.

"My lord, this is the battle between our army and Cao Liu Yuan in the past six months, and the casualties and gains of various departments, please take a look." In the study, Chen Gong handed a thick fold to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu opened the fold and read to himself: "Thirty-six thousand killed, sixty thousand enemies killed, 120,000 prisoners..." ”

After reading it, Lu Bu asked, "Mr. Gongtai, what are you going to do with those prisoners?" ”

Chen Gong sighed: "Although we have killed Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shu, our casualties are not small, and the generals of all departments are clamoring to replenish the source of troops. It was suggested that some elites should be selected from among those captives and distributed among the generals. On the one hand, it can replenish the gap of our fallen soldiers, and on the other hand, it can also solve the situation of too many prisoners and huge food consumption. ”

"Well, that's a good idea. You asked Luo Cheng and Fan Lihua to help you, and selected 50,000 people from them. The rest will be sent to the country of Linlang to build me a city wall. As for the soldiers who died in battle, they must be well cared for, and they cannot be ignored. ”

"No."

After a pause, Lu Bu said with a smile: "Mr. Gongtai, I have an idea, can you help me consider it?" ”

"My lord, please speak."

Lu Budao: "I want to form a heavy armored cavalry, with Xiang Yu as the commander, what do you think?" ”

"General Xiang is the righteous brother of the lord, his martial arts are strong, no one can beat him, if he is equipped with thousands of heavy armor horses, he will definitely be able to establish miraculous feats. But... We're still weak, so we're afraid we won't be able to form a large-scale heavy cavalry, right? ”

"You mean to say that there are no war horses?" Lu Bu had thought of this a long time ago.

"Yes. The heavy cavalry not only had to equip the soldiers with the most sophisticated weapons, but also clothed the horses with thick iron armor, which could not bear that weight if it were not for the incomparably strong war horses. ”

Lu Budao: "I have already thought about this issue. I'm going to use a lot of blank paper to make a deal with Yuan Shao, he should have a lot of war horses in his hands, right? ”

Chen Gong said: "Yuan Shao's territory is next to the prairie, of course, there is no shortage of war horses, but is he willing to exchange with us?" ”

Lu Bu sneered: "I don't believe it, in the face of the world's first paper, will he not be moved?" Will the literati and scholars under his tent watch the fine white paper slip away from their eyes? ”

Lu Bu swore and said: "Don't worry, I will send someone to handle this matter and promise to fool his war horse." ”

"If there are really thousands of heavy armor riders, the strength of the lord should not be weaker than Cao Yuan." Chen Gong was also looking forward to it.

Looking at the folds in his hand, Lu Bu suddenly laughed: "It seems that this war is also beneficial, and there is everything in a war." Weapons, armor, bows and arrows, food... It also saves us from worry. ”

"Public platform."

"Yes."

Lu Budao: "Seal all of these, and when you go on an expedition in the future, you will definitely be able to use them." ”

"No."

At this moment, Lu Bu had already begun to plan to expand outward, but before he could expand, he had to first assemble the heavy armored cavalry. With this heavy armored cavalry, they can be invincible and invincible on the road of expansion.

At noon, Pan Jinlian also came to the Assassin's Mansion to report to Lu Bu about the brothel.

Xiao He and Diao Chan were both sitting in the lobby. Seeing Pan Jinlian coming, with her charming figure and seductive demeanor, both of them were very displeased.

"Lord, this is the bill."

"Well, let's go to the study and talk." Lu Bu really didn't want to see Xiao He's shoehorn face, so he fled to the study with the bill.

Diao Chan asked, "Doesn't my father care?" ”

"Who says I don't care anymore? I am... I care about the fairy wine, how much money she has to make every day, all in her pocket, I can't even smell the breath. If this money were given to me, how much great things could be done. ”

Xiao He sighed and sat down, and said: "It's strange to say, my blank paper is also the only one in the world, what a good thing, why no one buys it?" ”

In the study, Lu Bu almost lost his eyeballs after reading the bill.

"Brother Fengxian, what's wrong with you?" Pan Jinlian asked.

"You're running out of money again?"

"yes. I have built brothels in all six counties of Xuzhou, and I spent 13 million dollars. Recently, in order to find out the movements of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, it has also been used a lot, so the money you gave me before, plus the money from selling wine, has all been used up. ”

"Did you get any news?"

"I've found out."

Pan Jinlian said: "According to the news from Yangzhou, after Zhang Xun and Lei Bo were defeated, they were reprimanded by Yuan Shuhao. Yuan Shu was worried about the revenge of the lord, so he blackmailed the family, amassed money, and recruited hundreds of thousands of recruits, but because of his atrocities, the Yangzhou family was quite dissatisfied with him. ”

"He is a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, cutting the flesh of the family and mending his sores. Sooner or later, they will reap the consequences. ”

Pan Jinlian continued: "There is also news from Yanzhou, after Cao Cao's defeat, he gave up the plan to conquer Xuzhou, and he personally praised the Son of Heaven, and wanted to be crowned the lord of Pingdong as the general of Pingdong and lead the history of Xuzhou. If you want to come to the Holy Decree, it is almost to Xiapi City. In addition, Cao Cao also adopted Guo Jia's advice that he would conquer Yuzhou and Sili in two months, connecting Yuzhou, Sili and Yanzhou to strengthen his own power. ”

Lu Budao: "Most of Yuzhou is Yuan Shu's territory, Si is subordinate to Chang'an, and there are Li Wei's elite Xiliang soldiers. Cao Cao lost most of his soldiers and horses, is he still capable of defeating Yuan Shu and Li Dao? ”

Pan Jinlian said: "According to our inquiry, Cao Cao seems to have more than that bit of soldiers and horses, he also has the 3,000 Tiger Guards led by Xu Chu, Cao Chun's 5,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and the old Yellow Turban Army that defected to Cao Cao in the early years, Cao Cao selected its elite and gave it the name Qingzhou Army." These three soldiers and horses are very strong in combat. ”
