Lu Bu explained why he looked like a teenager.

Looking at the stunned faces of the Qingzhou soldiers, he actually felt a faint sense of coolness.

is already past middle age, and there is still a chance to return to youth, who in the world can do it?

The officers and men of the Qingzhou Army had not yet woken up from the legend of his youth, and Lu Bu repeated what he had said when he recruited prisoners of war.

Being a soldier and fighting a war is just to fill your stomach, and no one has ever thought about why you want to fight?

Lu Bu painted a wonderful picture for them, and many soldiers even saw the scene of ploughing oxen plowing the fields and playing with their wives and children.

There was a surging torrent surging in the hearts of every Qingzhou army.

They used to fight just to fill their stomachs, but after listening to Lu Bu's teachings, a raging fire burned in their chests.

They seem to have found a reason to be soldiers and fight.

This reason is far more tenable than having a full stomach.

As when he lectured to prisoners of war in Qingzhou, there was peace in the barracks.

More than a thousand pairs of eyes all looked at Lu Bu.

"From today onwards, I will lead the Qingzhou Army." Lu Bu's gaze wandered on the faces of the soldiers: "Those who have merit will be rewarded for their merits, and those who have done so will be punished according to their crimes!" Tell me out loud, will you fight alongside me? ”

The surging tide of hearts has not yet calmed down, and the soldiers shouted in unison: "Yes!" ”

"If I want to, I'll have to make a pact with you." Lu Bu shouted: "From now on, you will share weal and woe with me, share glory and disgrace, can you do it?" ”

"Yes!" The Lord will share the glory and disgrace with them, and the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army have received such an honor, and immediately responded in unison.

Lu Bu's gaze wandered on the faces of the soldiers: "Contact the other people of the Qingzhou Army, take a step forward!" ”

There were forty or fifty people in the ranks.

Looking at them suspiciously, Lu Bu asked, "The Qingzhou Army has been divided into forty or fifty groups?" ”

The officer who accompanied him to the barracks stepped forward: "General Hui, there are not so many divisions." We just kept two people in each barracks to keep in touch so as not to delay the big event if something happens. ”

"There's really nothing wrong with that." Lu Bu asked, "Are the families of the soldiers all in Mount Tai?" ”

"It's all there." The officer replied.

"Mount Tai is adjacent to Qingzhou, and in my opinion, there will be a big war in Qingzhou soon." Lu Bu instructed the officer: "When the men and horses are gathered, let the soldiers send their families to Xuzhou." I've settled everything for them in Pengcheng. ”

Lu Bu planned to move the families of the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army to Xuzhou, and the soldiers present were stunned.

Relatively speaking, Qingzhou has been relatively stable over the years, but Xuzhou has not stopped since Cao Cao's crusade against Tao Qian.

The land of several battles, in Lu Bu's mouth, will it be more stable than Qingzhou?

The soldiers didn't believe it.

No one said anything, and of course Lu Bu knew what they were thinking.

"Do you think that Xuzhou, the land of several battles, can be more stable than Qingzhou?" Looking around at the soldiers, he asked in a loud voice.

There was still no response, and many Qingzhou soldiers even lowered their heads.

"It used to be a place of several battles, but I can assure you that from now on, no army will have the opportunity to advance into the hinterland of Xuzhou!" Lu Bu shouted: "Whoever offends me in Xuzhou, I will let him not grow an inch of grass!" ”

"Herald!" He then shouted: "Gather all the Qingzhou troops to gather here, and send another man to escort the soldiers' families to Pengcheng!" ”

The military order was issued, and the Qingzhou Army immediately carried it out.

While waiting for the Qingzhou army to gather, Lu Bu sent someone to Xiapi to send a letter to Chen Gong.

Xiapi Mansion.

When Chen Gong received Lu Bu's letter, Yan Xiang happened to be there.

After reading the letter, he smiled and shook his head.

Yan Xiang asked, "Does Wen Hou have any instructions?" ”

"Wen Hou is to catch the Qingzhou Army in his hands." Chen Gong said: "Not only that, but he actually plans to rebuild Pengcheng. ”

"In the Battle of Xiapi, Cao Cao slaughtered Pengcheng, which has long been a barren land." Yan Xiang said: "It costs a lot to rebuild Pengcheng and it takes an unknown number of people......

"Recently, Wen Hou has made two windfalls, and the toothpaste, toilet water, and lipstick he developed are now in demand, and women from rich and noble families are all the rage." Chen Gong said: "Although I can't earn much, at least I can maintain my expenses." ”

"Look at the letter again." He handed the letter to Yan Xiang.

After taking the letter and browsing it, Yan Xiang said in astonishment: "Wen Hou went to Qingzhou, and actually recruited 20,000 remnants of the Rampant Xi Department first, and then captured the Qingzhou army in his hands......

"That's not what matters." Chen Gong said with a smile: "He moved all the families of the two armies to Pengcheng, and it won't be long before the barren land will be full of people." And the family is in Xuzhou, and the tens of thousands of troops are like sending hostages to Wen Hou, how dare the soldiers serve without care? ”

"With an army of 50,000, counting the 6,000 in Shangpi, Wen Hou now has nearly 60,000 horses." Lu Bu recruited so many people, but Yan Xiang became worried: "Xuzhou is too strong, how can Cao Cao rest assured?" ”

"So Wen Hou will only lead the Qingzhou army to Xuzhou, and the old department of Rampant Xi will stay in Qingzhou for training." Chen Gong stood up: "I have to convey Wen Hou's military order to General Gao first, and ask him to go to Qingzhou immediately." Pengcheng also has to be taken care of by myself. ”

"As soon as the public platform leaves, go down to the ......" Yan Xiang frowned.

"There is Lao Yangong in Xiapi." Chen Gong bowed his hand: "If Pengcheng is prosperous, it will be able to form horns with Xiapi, and Xuzhou will be more stable than it was back then." ”

"Pengcheng is in ruins, and it is hard to work." Yan Xiang sent Chen Gong out of the door.

Seeing Chen Gong leave the official mansion, Yan Xiang was still a little worried.

Lu Bu grew too fast.

In just a few months, he gathered tens of thousands of horses.

Although most of these people are rabble, the number is too large.

Lü Bu's attachment to Cao Cao was nothing more than a stopgap measure.

Not only did Lu Bu and his staff and generals know it, but Cao Cao also knew it.

Xuzhou needed a respite from the war, but Cao Cao needed Lü Bu to expand his territory, and at the same time he didn't want him to be too powerful.

Lu Bu's rapid growth is likely to attract a new round of blows from Cao Cao.

With a rabble of less than 60,000 people, even if Cao Cao only sent an army of 20,000, he could defeat them and not find the north.

Looking up at the sky, Yan Xiang took a deep breath.

Xuzhou, having gained a brief period of tranquility, is likely to fall into turmoil again......

Chen Gong conveyed Lu Bu's order to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun left Xiapi and rushed to Qingzhou on the same day, and cooperated with Sun Guan to train the 20,000-strong soldiers.

Lu Bu waited in Mount Tai for more than ten days, and the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army came one after another.

The 30,000 Qingzhou army was about to gather, and their families were also escorted to Pengcheng by the Qingzhou army soldiers sent by Lu Bu.
