"The lord asked Cao Cao to send 20,000 stone of grain in exchange for Xun You. Will Cao Cao agree? As far as I know, his three prefectures of Henan, Yan, and Sili are narrow and the people are widowed, and it is difficult to support the food and salary, and he has fought one after another, and the consumption is huge, and I am afraid that he will no longer be able to get excess food. ”

Back in the Chinese military camp, Fan Lihua said.

"Why didn't the lord give the order and directly cover up the past. If you catch Xiahoudun, you will definitely be able to exchange for more food. Gao Shun thought about it and felt pity.

Li Yuanba stood behind Lu Bu, looking like he didn't care about himself.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Xiahoudun's light cavalry moves quickly, coming and going like the wind, we may not be able to catch up." As for whether Cao Cao will give 20,000 stone of grain in exchange for Xun You, I don't think there is any need to worry. Do you know who Xun Yu is? ”

"Yes, Cao Cao's advisor." Gao Shundao.

"I think it's the most important strategist." Fan Lihua added.

Lu Budao: "It seems that you don't know much about Xun You, and you don't know much about the strategists under Cao Cao, so I'll popularize it for you." Under Cao Cao, the most important strategists are Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai (deceased), Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, among these people, except for Cheng Yu and Jia Xu, they are all from Yingchuan and belong to one camp. Under Cao Cao, more than half of the strategists came from Yingchuan, such as Chen Qun, Zhao Yan, Du Xian, etc. Xun You is Xun Yu's nephew, and now Xun Yu is in trouble, and the Yingchuan strategists still don't recommend Cao Cao to redeem Xun Yu? Even if Cao Cao refused, he couldn't refuse. ”

"I see." Gao Shun and Fan Lihua were stunned.

Gao Shun said: "In this way, the 20,000 stone grain will definitely be delivered?" ”

"Well, send a message to Xiao He, get ready to receive food." Lu Bu smiled.

Gao Shun and Fan Lihua couldn't help but be happy. With food, you can recruit troops, and with soldiers, you can expand outward. For Xuzhou, it is the most urgent thing at present.

"I came back with Yuanba this time to transfer troops to the front line. Hou Dun's army was defeated this summer, and it was impossible to pose a threat to Donghai County again, so the soldiers of Donghai County, except for Lu Yi's county soldiers, had to go to Huainan with me. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun: "How many recruits have you recruited?" ”

"Back to the lord, there are 45,000 recruits, all stationed in the Tanxian school field."

"So much?"

Lu Bu was taken aback. The population of Donghai County is only 700,000, and it is not easy to recruit 45,000 recruits in two months. If you count the soldiers and horses recruited by Tao Qian and Liu Bei a few years ago, and the county soldiers in Donghai County now, Donghai County has really reached one out of ten.

With these soldiers and horses, they can be stationed in Jian'an, Danyang, and Lujiang respectively, and transfer the armies of Zhang Liao, Xiang Yu, and Luo Cheng to Huainan. In this way, the decisive battle with Yuan Shu is not far away.

"Please announce the Lord, when will you leave?" Fan pear blossom likes to be shaped.

Lu Bu smiled bitterly: "Lihua, you don't have to go, it's better to return to Xiapi City and be stationed on standby." Don't let Li Dian and Lejin take advantage of it. ”

Regarding the war in Peng Chengguo, Lu Bu and Fan Lihua still don't know.

Fan Lihua thought about it and was a little disappointed: "Okay, I'll lead the army back to Xiapi." ”

After occupying Xiahoudun's camp, he got 10,000 stone of food, which just solved the urgent need of recruits in Donghai County.

A few days later, Fan Lihua led the army to leave and go to Xiapi.

Lü Bu, Li Yuanba, and Gao Shun went to Jian'an County with the trapped camp and 45,000 newly recruited soldiers and horses.

Jian'an County, Jian'an City.

After the capture of the eight counties of Jian'an, Zhang Liao's army was stationed in various cities, on the one hand, to promote Lü Bu's policy and calm the people's minds, and on the other hand, to suppress the world clan and eliminate bandits.

Speaking of the word banditry, people can't help but think of Shanyue.

That's right, in Jian'an County, there are also many mountains. These bandits lurking in the mountains were bewitched by the remnants of the clan's great forces, and they were ready to move in an attempt to disturb Lu Bu's rear.

On this day, near Nanping County, Lü Bu received a report that there were thousands of mountains and crosses besieging Nanping.

Nanping County, next to the official road, is the grain road of Lu Bu's army, and is now garrisoned by Cao Xing under Zhang Liao, leading a thousand soldiers and horses.

Faced with the siege of thousands of Shanyue, Nanping County was in danger.

When Lu Bu heard this, he was very angry: "Just a bandit, dare to go against me?" ”

"Father, let the children teach them." Li Yuanba held a drum urn and a golden hammer.

Lu Bu nodded and ordered: "The more hateful the mountain, no one will be left." Tell Cao Xing again that Haosheng is stationed in Nanping. ”

"Yes."

Li Yuanba rode away.

Lu Bu took the army and continued to walk forward.

Although Shanyue is a source of soldiers, it is a pity to kill, but as far as the current situation is concerned, Lu Bu does not allow a rebellion in the rear, since Shanyue has come to the door, he might as well show his strength.

Two hours later, Li Yuanba chased after him covered in blood.

Lu Bu saw that there was a bloody human head hanging on his horse, and he still had a shocked and unwilling look.

Lu Bu asked, "What is this?" ”

"He said his name was Huang Ran."

Lu Bu thought about it, the name Huang Chao was a little familiar, as if he was a general of Eastern Wu. If you guess correctly, it should be the Eastern Wu conquest of Shanyue, and Huang Chao led the people to surrender.

It's a pity that Jian'an County is now in the hands of Lu Bu, and it is impossible for Eastern Wu to conquer Shanyue. The fate of the Yellow Chaos also came to an end.

In the next few days, Lü Bu was attacked by several groups of Shanyue people.

These Shanyue forces, as if they had been discussed, either ambushed troops to intercept them, or set up roadblocks, and tried every means to block them.

Lu Bu didn't say a word, and sent Li Yuanba to open the way. Hundreds, thousands, of you, all of them will be stoned to death.

Along the way, more than 20,000 mountain Vietnamese troops were killed.

When he arrived at Jian'an City, Li Yuanba had already achieved great results and was famous.

Lu Bu called Zhang Liao and asked about Shanyue.

"Lord Yu, these Shanyue people must have been instructed by Cao Cao to disturb my rear." Zhang Liaodao.

"Cao Cao's troops in Huainan are more than 2,000 miles away from Jian'an County. It is still possible for him to win over the family, but it is unlikely to win over Shanyue. I guess it's still the family that's making trouble. ”

"Eh... The Lord is right. Zhang Liao thought about it and changed his opinion. Immediately said angrily: "These big families are too hateful, please allow the lord, I will lead the army to eradicate them!" ”

Lu Budao: "The most important thing now is to defeat Yuan Shu and Cao Cao and capture Yangzhou. The affairs of the Shanyue people will be talked about later. ”

"Although Jian'an County is a small county, it is related to the connection between my Xuzhou and Yangzhou, I must pay attention to it, I decided to leave 15,000 soldiers to garrison, do you have a good candidate?"

"The last general will recommend Cao Xing, but he is up to the task!"

"Okay, just him." Anyway, there are no good candidates, Cao Xinghao is one of the eight strong generals, his martial arts are good, and he has led troops for many years, Lu Bu thought about it a little and agreed.

Two days later, Cao Xing rushed to Jian'an City and took over 15,000 recruits.

Zhang Liao ordered the soldiers and horses stationed in the counties of Jian'an County to assemble in Danyang County. At the same time, Lu Bu, Li Yuanba, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun led other armies to Wanling, the seat of Danyang County.
