During Pan Jinlian's trip to Hebei, several major battles took place in the territory of Yuzhou.

Cao Cao personally led 70,000 Qingzhou troops and 5,000 tigers and leopards to fight with Yuan Shu's army, three battles and three victories, and completely drove Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses out of Yuzhou, and appointed Xiahou Yuan as the governor of Yuzhou, Jia Xu as a military advisor, and led a heavy army to garrison.

And Cao Cao marched westward with the victorious army, and the troops were headed, pointing directly at Sili Chang'an!

These news are like dust, blowing to Xuzhou with the wind. When Lu Bu learned about it, he was quite surprised: "Cao Cao's strength is still very strong, the Qingzhou army and tiger and leopard cavalry under his command are all warriors of a hundred battles, and Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses must not be able to resist, but I didn't expect that Yuan Shu would be defeated so quickly." What is the difference between this and outright surrender. ”

"Yes, Yuan Shu is also known as the biggest prince in the Central Plains, how do you know that it is in vain." Chen Gong sighed.

In the lobby, in addition to Lu Bu and Chen Gong, there are also Xiao He, Li Yuanba, Xiang Yu, Luo Cheng, Fan Lihua, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun. When they heard about Yuan Shu's defeat, they couldn't help but laugh.

"Yuan Shu is lazy in politics, and the soldiers under his command are incompetent, even if there are many soldiers and horses, it is difficult to achieve great things."

"I knew that he was so weak, and when he defeated Zhang Xun and Lei Bo, he should have entered Yangzhou and killed him."

"It's not too late to go now, with only 20,000 elite soldiers, you can eliminate Yuan Shu and capture Yangzhou!"

............

The generals were gossiping, but they didn't take Yuan Shu in their eyes.

Lu Bu raised his eyes and pressed his hand: "Let's say a few words." Although Yuan Shu was defeated, his strength still existed, and there were still more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in various counties of Yangzhou, which should not be underestimated. ”

"The lord thinks too highly of him, doesn't he? I only need 10,000 elite soldiers to set foot in Yangzhou! Xiang Yu arched his hand and said.

"Although my brother is brave, but Yuan Shu is guarding the city, what can I do? From Xuzhou to Yangzhou, not less than 2,500 miles, if you use cavalry, you are not good at attacking the city, if you use infantry, it takes too long. Does my brother want to fly into Shouchun alone? ”

"This..."

"I promised my brother that after the 5,000 heavy armored cavalry was formed, he would march to Yangzhou. But now, we have to endure it, let's tighten our fists first, and wait for all the troops, horses, grain, grass, and equipment to be ready, and then it's not too late to clean up Yuan Shu. ”

Chen Gong said: "What the lord said is extremely true. If you generals want to make meritorious contributions, you are not in a hurry at this time. ”

Xiao He smiled: "It's too hasty to say that we will go on an expedition, we don't have food and grass now." ”

"Lord Xiao is joking, how can there be no food and grass? Our army fought with Cao Yuan and captured at least 60,000 stone of military rations. "Fan pear flower road.

"Sixty thousand stone of military rations were captured, which is indeed true, but they were all sent out. The people of Xuzhou are not able to receive green and yellow crops, not even grain seeds, let alone eat, if the government does not provide relief, how can they survive? I have decreed that all the people in all the counties and counties who are registered may go to the government to receive their grain and return it after the autumn harvest. Therefore, the mere 60,000 stones have long been used up. ”

"Huh?!" The generals were dumbfounded.

"Lord Xiao, this is 60,000 stone military rations, you sent it out like this?" Zhang Liao felt dizzy.

Luo Cheng and Fan Lihua couldn't help but roll their eyes, and said in their hearts: "It's really sad to meet such a master book." ”

Li Yuanba stood behind Lu Bu and said nothing.

Xiang Yu looked slightly angry: "Lord Xiao cherishes the people, and the last general really admires it, but he can't miss a big thing because of this." ”

For a while, Xiao He was scolded by the generals, and some of them couldn't get off the stage.

But after he was cheeky, he didn't care at all.

Lu Bu was not angry, and said with a smile: "Everyone, isn't this right, after the autumn harvest, you can also take this opportunity to reorganize your soldiers and horses, and when you really go out, I hope to see that our army is like an out-of-body sword, invincible." ”

"The last general and others are willing to open up the territory for the Lord and sweep away Yuan Shu." Everyone stood up and answered.

"Alright, sit down."

"After talking for a long time, I forgot about the division of troops." Lu Bu picked up a copy of the book and said, "This is the news from Jin Lian, saying that Yuan Shao has promised to exchange 5,000 good horses for 200,000 pieces of white paper. The deal will be concluded at the end of April. ”

"General Luo."

"Yes." Luo Cheng is out of the ranks.

"After the paper mill is built, I will urge the craftsmen of the paper mill to make 200,000 dollars of white paper before April 15, and you can take these white papers to the river and trade with Yuan Shao."

"No."

Lu Budao: "As for the division of troops, I thought twice and decided to divide the troops in advance. Now there are 50,000 idle soldiers and horses in the school field, all of whom have just been selected from the captives, and after more than a month of training, they can come in handy. ”

"But before I divide the troops, I have a premature idea that I would like to discuss with you."

"My lord, please speak." Everyone looked at Lu Bu with some doubts.

Lu Budao: "Cao Cao was able to capture Yuzhou so quickly, in addition to Yuan Shu's incompetence, it also proves that the Qingzhou Army and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under Cao Cao are really the elite of the world, he has the elite, and I don't have it?" Can we also form two armies like the Qingzhou Army and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry? He will fight against Cao Cao in the future, so as not to fall into disadvantage. ”

"The Lord is right, but the reason why the elite is called the elite is because the soldiers are brave, after the baptism of thousands of battles, in this hurry, where can we find so many brave people?"

Zhang Liao said: "Mr. Gongtai's words are inappropriate. In my Xuzhou army, is there no elite? Which of the soldiers who followed us, from Bingzhou and Xiliang, all the way to the west, was not experienced in a hundred battles? There is also the trapped camp under General Gao Shun, although the number is small, but it is invincible in a hundred battles. I think they are not much better than Cao Cao's Qingzhou Army and Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. ”

Gao Shun looked arrogant. When it comes to the elite, his trapping camp should be the head of the Xuzhou army!

"Wen Yuan said it well." Lu Bu smiled slightly: "Cao Cao can form an elite, and we can also afford it." Doesn't he have the Tiger Guard, let's call it the Dragon Guard, doesn't he have the Qingzhou Army, we have a trap camp. His tiger and leopard cavalry can be called the world's sharpest, and the five thousand heavy armored cavalry we are about to form will never be left behind, and I have already thought of a good name, which is called the broken military camp. ”

"In the future, the Dragon Guard Army, trapping the camp, and breaking the barracks will be the elite of the elite, and they should not be weaker than the Cao Army."

As soon as Lu Bu's words fell, Xiang Yu and Gao Shun couldn't help laughing.

"Father-in-law, the soldier, is it the Dragon Guard?" Li Yuanba asked.

Lu Bu laughed: "It seems that you are not stupid, you still know that the Dragon Guard is your own soldier." ”

"Of course the children are not stupid, they are all called stupid." Li Yuanba looked at the people in the hall with a slightly angry expression.

"Hahaha..." The generals laughed.

Lu Bu continued: "The Dragon Guard Army is my personal soldier, the number is tentatively set at three thousand, with Li Yuanba as the commander and Zhang Feng as the deputy commander. The trapped camp is still under the command of General Gao Shun, but the number of people trapped in the camp is too small, less than 800 people, even if it is elite, it is difficult to support big things, so the number must be increased to 3,000. As for the broken barracks, it is a heavy armored cavalry with a number of 5,000, and the combat effectiveness is the strongest, and I also value it very much, and it is commanded by General Xiang Yu. You don't have any opinions, do you? ”
