Yes, there are also Tiger Guards, Qingzhou Army, and Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, although there are not many of them, but they are enough to meet the enemy.

Lu Bu recalled the following historical records of these three soldiers and horses.

The Tiger Guard Army was an army formed by Cao Cao when he supported the emperor, and selected extremely brave men, led by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who had saved Cao Cao in danger many times.

The Qingzhou Army was the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou in 192 AD, and was jointly defeated by Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, and finally surrendered to Cao Cao unconditionally. After surrendering to the Yellow Turban Army, there were about one million people including their families, and Cao Cao selected 70,000 of them and named them Qingzhou Army.

This army is also extremely combative, from the crusade against Tao Qian to the Battle of Guandu, it is sure to win every battle.

The last tiger and leopard cavalry is a heavy armored iron cavalry army, the soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and the equipment is very sophisticated, and the commanders of the tiger and leopard cavalry have always been served by the relatives and nobles of the Cao family, which shows that Cao Cao attaches great importance to the tiger and leopard cavalry.

"Brother Fengxian, what are you thinking?" Pan Jinlian called softly.

Lu Bu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "You did a good job, it must have taken a lot of effort to find out this news, right?" ”

"Hmm. Cao Cao's guards are very strict, and our people can't penetrate at all, and only those who buy them can get the news. Brother Fengxian, you don't blame me for being too ruthless with money, right? ”

Lu Bu smiled slightly: "It's not strange. That's just a few bucks. As long as you can find out the real and useful information, even if you use more money, I don't feel distressed. ”

"But... You'd better save some money, you also know that my old father-in-law, using a penny from him is harder than asking him to die, if you don't have money to ask him for it, it is tantamount to delusion. ”

"Hehe..."

Pan Jinlian covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Since Lord Xiao refuses to give money, then Brother Fengxian will earn it himself." Jin Lian felt that more people should be sent to make wine and sell a large amount of immortal wine, so that she would not have to worry about running out of money. ”

"Well, that's what I thought too. There are also paper mills, which also have to expand production. Only by selling in bulk can you make a huge profit. ”

In the matter of wine-making technology and paper-making technology, Lu Bu did not invest too much energy, and he only made a small start before.

He had long thought that he could mass-produce liquor and white paper like the factories of later generations, so that the efficiency would be doubled, and Xuzhou's economy would also rise like a bucket.

"Golden Lotus."

"Yes."

Lu Bu instructed: "You send reliable people to Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao's territory to contact some wealthy families to see how many people have ordered immortal wine, and when my brewing factory is built, a large amount of immortal liquor will be put on the market." ”

"Yes."

In the new year, there will be a new atmosphere.

Lu Bu plans to raise Xuzhou's economy, people's livelihood, and military strength to a higher level in this year.

What is the saying? Call the sharpener not to cut wood! Although Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba are there, it is enough to compete with Cao Yuan, but the economy and people's livelihood cannot be ignored. Tighten your fists first, and when the time comes, it's not too late to punch your opponent.

On the streets, there were many people coming and going, all looking at the brewery, paper mill, blacksmith shop, and ceramic workshop, but they did not dare to approach the guards standing at the door.

On this day, Lu Bu took the drawings and led hundreds of craftsmen and thousands of soldiers from the Yin Mansion to Nancheng.

Lu Zhong took the drawings and said: "Lord, Nancheng has the least number of people, and it is the most suitable for building a factory, this two miles within a radius has been bought by us, how many factories are you going to build?" ”

Lu Bu called all the craftsmen to him and said, "I am going to build two wineries, a paper mill and a ceramic factory. In addition, there are three large warehouses for storing fairy wine, white paper, and various ceramics. You must build these things for me in the shortest possible time, and you must not slack off. ”

"No."

The craftsmen took the drawings and began to discuss.

"Lu Zhong, you go and tell Zhang Feng and ask him to transfer five hundred personal guards to come, and guard me inside and outside here, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"No."

Lu Zhong thought for a while, and arched his hand: "Lord, the last general heard that the guards were beaten by the prince of Yuanba and couldn't get up, so let's let the soldiers of the Yin Mansion be stationed by us." ”

"Nope. These factories are very important and must be guarded by the pro-guard army. You order the Yin Mansion, you only need to do a good job of patrolling and standing guard, and you don't need to worry about the rest. Lu Bu did not agree.

"Yes."

Lu Zhong was not angry. Because he knew that these factories were really important to Lu Bu, and the soldiers of the Ling Yin Mansion, although their combat effectiveness was not weak, their loyalty needed to be investigated, and it was really not easy to contact the core.

Two days later, an envoy from the imperial court came to Xiapi City.

But it was not the eunuchs in the palace who delivered the decree, but the speaker Huaxin.

Hua Xin is an honest and honest character, when Yuan Shu did not occupy Yangzhou, he was the Taishou of Yuzhang County, who had been in power for two years and loved the people very much. When he was transferred out of Yangzhou, many people saw him off.

Historically, he was also a veteran of the three dynasties of Wei, and after Cao Cao's death, he served in official positions such as Xiangguo and Taiwei, and his reputation was quite high.

But at this time, he is far from being so dazzling, just a small speaker under Cao Cao.

Walking into the lobby of the Thorn History Mansion, Hua Xin raised his eyes and saw that there were two people sitting in the hall, one was Lu Bu, leisurely drinking tea with Erlang's legs crossed, and the other was Chen Gong, who was looking through a book (a manuscript made of paper).

"Ahem... The Divine Decree has arrived! Hua Xin shouted embarrassedly.

Chen Gong put down the book and prepared to get up.

Lu Bu pressed his hand on him, and said with a smile: "You don't need to get up, what age is it, and you still put the emperor's score?" ”

Chen Gong glanced at Hua Xin, also straightened up his waist and sat down, and said, "If the envoy has anything to say, just say it, my waist is not very good recently, so I won't get up and be polite." ”

"Sir's words are tactful. What does it mean to have a bad waist? Could it be that there have been frequent sexual intercourse lately and I can't hold on? I don't talk as much as you do. My waist is hard enough, and I claim to be seven times a night, but I just don't salute. You know why? The Han Dynasty is about to fall, and the emperor is still a ball. ”

Chen Gong rolled his eyes and said in his heart: "This is also a troubled time, if you dare to say this during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, you will definitely be killed." ”

"You... You guys! Hua Xin was speechless, angry.

"Do you even pronounce a decree? If you don't announce it, hurry up, we'll have business in a while. Lu Bu said impatiently.

Hua Xin finally opened the holy decree and read: "Under the holy decree: add Lu Bu as the general of Pingdong, and concurrently lead the Xuzhou Assassin History..." He finished reciting the holy decree very breathlessly, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Lu Bu's expression was slightly serious, and he said: "You go back and tell Cao Cao, don't think that just give me two official positions and send me away, he is delusional!" Let him wash his neck and wait, and when I have time, I will go to Yanzhou and twist his neck off. ”
