Yangzhou.

Shou Chun.

North Campus Field.

The generals already knew the news of the expedition and asked for battle.

In the tent.

Chen Gong reported to Lu Bu.

"Lord, the generals who went to Xiliang this time are Xiang Yu, Li Yuanba, Mu Guiying, Bai Qi, and Liang Hongyu. With 30,000 light cavalry, 10,000 chariots, dragon guards, Danyang soldiers, broken barracks and trapped camps. ”

Lu Bu picked up the map, studied it for a while, and said: "From Shouchun to Xiliang, you have to pass through Yanzhou and Sili, no less than 15,000 miles. ”

"What do you mean...?"

"Gui Ying's Danyang soldiers and Gao Shun's trapped camp, there is no need to participate in the battle. Bai Qi and Liang Hongyu don't have to follow. I'll just take Xiang Yu, Li Yuanba, and Li Cunxiao, 30,000 light cavalry, 10,000 chariots, plus the Dragon Guard Army and the broken military camp. Oh yes, there is also Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Army, I heard that there are more than 500 people, and they can go to the customs outside to experience and experience. ”

Chen Gong was also not easy to refute, and responded: "Okay, everything will be done according to the will of the lord." ”

Lu Budao: "This time I went to Xiliang, it is to go deep into the hinterland of the enemy, it is very dangerous, I need two wise people to accompany me to help me give advice, who do you think is the most suitable?" ”

"The minister recommended Xu Shu and Liu Bowen. With them, the custodian has no worries. Chen Gong said.

"Okay, just them."

The candidates in Lu Bu's heart are also the two of them. Because Xu Shu is good at using troops and arranging formations, Liu Bowen is good at strategy, joining forces and joining forces seamlessly.

The decision is good, and the order is delivered.

Assassin's House.

Lu Bu called the ladies and prepared to say goodbye.

Diao Chan, Mu Guiying, Pan Jinlian, Zhen Huan, Mi Yue, and Xiao Qiao all gathered together, with reluctance in their eyes.

Diao Chan said: "Husband, can't you send someone else to go on the expedition?" General Xiang is wise and brave, victorious in a hundred battles, and is your niece and son-in-law, who can take on a big responsibility. ”

"Xiang Yu is indeed a general, but he is too arrogant. Not suitable for solo travel. Lu Bu said.

"Then send him another military advisor, isn't it okay? Why don't you go to Xiliang in person, once you come and go, it will take at least a year. How do we spend our sisters' lives? ”

Diao Chan was the first to follow Lu Bu and had deep feelings.

Zhen Huan, Mi Yue, and Big and Little Qiao are all reluctant.

Mu Guiying was very dissatisfied with the arrangement of the Military Aircraft Department, and said, "Husband, even if you want to go to Xiliang, you should take me with you." ”

"What are you going to do? Your Danyang soldiers are all foot soldiers, which is not conducive to marching. ”

Mu Guiying said: "You can equip war horses." I listened to Shangshu and Shen of the Ministry of Rites, and by the beginning of May at the latest, there would be 20,000 war horses sent from Yuzhang County to Shouchun, and the Danyang soldiers who would be given to me at that time... ”

"In such a short time, can the soldiers learn to ride horses?"

Mu Guiying said: "The military department has stirrups and saddles, and soldiers can learn it in half a day." Husband, will you let me go? ”

The words have already been said about this, and Lu Bu is not good to refuse again.

After hesitating for a while, he responded: "Okay, I'll tell Chen Gong later, in the list of expeditions, plus you and 10,000 Danyang soldiers." ”

"Thank you, husband."

Mu Guiying finally laughed.

The rest of the ladies were envious.

Lu Bu advised: "After I leave, you must live in harmony and don't quarrel over some trivial matters." Sisters, we should be humble and tolerant, and when I come back, I hope to see you sitting together as you are now. ”

"Don't worry, husband, we will be fine."

"Hmm."

That night, Lu Bu did not rest, and worked out the development plan of Xu and Yang overnight. After all, I have to leave Shouchun for more than a year, and if there is no clear direction of development, when I come back, I will fall behind in all aspects.

Next.

Morning meeting.

Civil and military officers at all levels came to the Assassin's Mansion.

Including the directors of banks, newspapers, printing houses, and science and technology institutes, Zhang Pan and Zhang Hu of the Yin Mansion.

Lu Bu sat down on the top and said: "This time I will go to Xiliang, it will be delayed for a year, and in this year, I hope that Xuyang and Yangzhou will have new development and planning." ”

"The Military Aircraft Department, the Sixth Ministry, and the Department of the Interior are in charge of all military and civil affairs in the two states, and officials at all levels must be absolutely obedient. Be diligent, strengthen management, and put the interests of the people first... I have said these high-sounding words no less than a hundred times, but there are few that can really do it. I want you to take it to heart and put it into practice. ”

"Don't worry, the ministers don't dare to slack off." Chen Gong replied.

The rest of the officials also chimed in.

Lu Bu pressed his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said, "I called everyone here today to announce a few decisions. ”

"First, after I left Shouchun, Chen Gong, Zhang Liang, Jia Xu, Li Shanchang, and Xiao He formed the highest decision-making body, and handled all matters by a show of hands. For example, the use of troops against Sun Liu and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can be decided as long as they pass the meeting. ”

"Second, the order of the Military Aircraft Department is my order. No matter how outrageous the order you receive, even if it is for you to capture Shouchun, you must do it. ”

"Third, the Military Aircraft Department is the highest decision-making body, and it can transfer the food and salary of the user department without going through the Department of the Interior. The Ministry of Household Affairs may not refuse for any reason, nor can the Home Affairs Department interfere. ”

"Fourth, the Science and Technology Institute is a forbidden area for the entire Shouchun, and no one is allowed to approach, including the top decision-makers of the Military Aircraft Department. The Department of the Interior and the Military Aircraft Department must provide all the needs of the Institute of Science and Technology unconditionally, and are not allowed to inquire or talk about matters related to the Institute. ”

In addition to the above four points, there is also Ganning's navy, which should also be strongly supported. When I come back, I hope to see an invincible naval army that can cross the Yangtze River and eliminate Sun Ce. ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Bu put down the plan and took a sip of tea.

Jia Xu came out of the queue and said embarrassedly: "Thank you for the general's love and let me serve in the military aircraft department, but after all, I am a newcomer and am not suitable to participate in military politics, please choose another meritocracy." ”

"Wenhe, do you know why I agreed to go to Xiliang? Because of your contribution, you can bring glory to Xu Yang and the two states, far more than the price I paid for my expedition to Xiliang. If you are not willing to participate in military politics, then what else should I do in Xiliang? ”

"As for your ability and prestige, I don't think it's very important, because I trust you, and if I say you can do it, you can do it."

Lu Bu's words moved Jia Xu very much.

Since his debut, Dong Zhuo has been the first thing, then Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, and then Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao. No one took him seriously, he was scheming and defensive everywhere, and only when he joined Lu Bu did he feel a little attention and trust.

"Obedience."

Jia Xu answered and retreated to his original position.

Xiao He's eyebrows tightened, his face was straight, and he said: "Just now, the lord said that the Military Aircraft Department can transfer the food and salary of the user department without going through the Department of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Household Affairs must not refuse for any reason, and the Department of Internal Affairs must not interfere. I don't understand, what does this mean? ”

Without waiting for Lu Bu to speak, Chen Gong smiled and said, "Don't you understand this?" You are usually like a rich man, only in and out. If there is really going to be war, can you get food quickly? ”

"Absolutely. I will never control money because I save money. It's not up to you to decide which time. Am I feeling bad? Xiao He said unconvinced.
