As Xun You expected, Lu Bu entered Xuzhou and did not return to Xiapi, but went directly to Pengcheng.

The 2,000 soldiers led by Zang Ba were stationed outside the city.

The people they had escorted had already entered the city.

In addition, the families of the Qingzhou Army came one after another.

After the Battle of Xiapi, Pengcheng, which had been slaughtered by Cao Cao, became a place of death for a time.

There were 340,000 people who migrated from Qingzhou and Mount Tai.

With the migration of the population, Pengcheng, which was once dead and silent, came to life.

Chen Gong came here and assigned the city's residences to immigrants, but there were still many people who could not settle down.

Immigrants have only arrived in one place, many things have not yet been carried out, and there are more people who have nothing to do.

When people are idle, they always have to find something to do.

On the streets of Pengcheng, fights, robberies and robberies occur almost every day.

Even when some women go out in the company of their families, they will encounter idlers who come forward to provoke them.

Leading 30,000 troops, Lu Bu came many days later than Chen Gong.

The army was about to arrive outside the city, and Zang Ba got the news to greet him first.

Seeing Lu Bu from afar, Zang Ba urged the horse to go quickly.

When he came to him, he greeted Lu Bu: "I've seen Wen Hou." ”

"Yigao actually came earlier than me." Lu Bu returned the salute with a smile: "How many days have you been here?" Did you go into town? ”

"It's been three or four days." Zang Ba replied: "Chen Gongtai is not allowed to enter the city, so he is still stationed outside the city. ”

"The same is true for the public station." Lu Bu said: "Yigao is not an outsider, how can he not be allowed to enter the city?" ”

"He can't be blamed." and Chen Gong are also acquaintances, but Zang Ba can understand him: "He doesn't have many defenders, if I have two hearts, how can I defend Pengcheng with his little people?" ”

Lu Bu laughed: "Yigao said and laughed." ”

The scout had already replied to Zang Ba, saying that Lu Bu had brought an army of tens of thousands of people.

With psychological preparation, he was still secretly surprised when he was about to be pressed by the black.

How long has it been since you went to Tarzan? Lu Bu actually brought back so many soldiers and horses.

If he has enough time to develop, he doesn't know how powerful he will be.

Zang Ba glanced at the army behind Lu Bu: "Wen Hou didn't have many days to go to Mount Tai, and he actually brought back so many soldiers and horses. In a short time, Xuzhou will definitely become one of the most powerful places in the Central Plains. ”

"There are indeed a lot of soldiers and horses, but they are negligent in training." Lu Bu said: "The weapons and armor are old, and the soldiers are on the battlefield, which is nothing more than sending heads to the enemy to cut off. A large number of people and poor quality are the most fatal. ”

"General Sun sent a letter saying that General Gao had arrived in Qingzhou." Zang Ba said: "With General Gao here, it won't be long before Wen Hou will have a usable army." ”

Zang Ba accompanied Lu Bu to Peng Zheng.

Chen Gong also brought a group of officials to the city gate to wait.

Seeing Lu Bu from afar, Chen Gong led everyone to meet him quickly.

Seeing the army behind Lu Bu, the officials stared at each other in astonishment.

Not long ago, Xuzhou was still short of soldiers and food.

Although there is not much money now, and there is not much food reserves, after all, it is not so stretched.

Especially the military.

A few days ago, there were only thousands of soldiers in Xuzhou, but now there are soldiers and horses who can't see the end of the black pressure.

Welcoming Lu Bu, who led the army to come, many officials even suspected that he was still in a dream.

After meeting with Chen Gong, Lu Bu asked, "How did the public platform settle the people?" ”

"There are too many people sent by the warm weather." Chen Gong replied: "When Pengcheng was at its peak, there were not so many people ......"

"So you haven't settled in yet?" Lu Bu interrupted him.

"I can't settle down in the city." Chen Gong replied: "I plan to send some people outside the city and let them build villages to open up wasteland and cultivate land. ”

"Exactly what I thought." Lu Bu asked, "I wonder if the public station has been arranged?" ”

"Not yet." Chen Gong said: "There are too many implications in cultivating wasteland, and we have to find a safe way." ”

"It's a good thing that we didn't send people out." Lu Bu said: "It is definitely necessary to cultivate the wasteland, Pengcheng is much bigger than Xiapi, I don't want this to become a city just for living and business." ”

Most of the city's role was to live and trade with merchants.

Government decrees were also issued from the city.

When a foreign enemy is coming, the city also has the responsibility of defending against the enemy.

But the meaning of Lu Bu's words is to open up other roles in the city.

"What is Wen Hou going to do in the city?" Accompanying Lu Bu to the city gate, Chen Gong asked.

"The public station looks at the soldiers and horses I brought." Lu Bu turned around.

Chen Gong's eyes fell on the 30,000 Qingzhou army: "Wen Hou went to Mount Tai and really brought the Qingzhou army." Majestic and numerous......"

"What I want you to see is not these, but what are the disadvantages of the Qingzhou Army." Lu Bu interrupted him.

"Originally, I was going to talk about the disadvantages, but I was worried that Wen Hou would be unhappy when he heard it." Chen Gong said: "Although the Qingzhou army has a lot of people, the queue is scattered and the armor is old. The armor of many soldiers actually had white mold, and most of their weapons were rusty. With such an army into battle, to be honest, I am not optimistic. ”

"With their current state, I can't expect to win." Lu Bu diverted the topic: "Has Xiahoudun left?" ”

"It's long gone." Chen Gong replied: "Wen Hou didn't ask, and I was about to say that there was a spy who reported that Xu Du had an accident." ”

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong.

"Dong Cheng contacted a group of people and tried to kill Cao Cao, but he didn't expect to be grabbed by Cao Cao." Chen Gong said: "It is said that Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and others were escorted to the market entrance to be executed. Even Concubine Dong, who was next to His Majesty, ......"

Cloth and belt edict!

Chen Gong mentioned that Dong Cheng and others were killed, and Lu Bu immediately reacted.

When he went to Xudu, Dong Cheng thought about wooing.

Lu Bu didn't leave at that time, not only did he not give Dong Cheng a chance, but he got seven dancers from him.

"How is Dong Cheng's family?" Lu Bu asked, "I mean the maids he raised, Meiji." ”

"None of them were killed." Chen Gong said: "If you do such a thing, how can Cao Cao leave even half a living person for the Dong family?" ”

Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh that if he had been "serious" at that time and resolutely didn't want the seven beauties, they would have died as well.

"If these things happen, Cao Cao must be furious." Lu Bu said: "It won't be long before he sends someone over and asks us to crusade against Huainan. ”

"What are you going to do?" Chen Gong asked.

"Huainan wants to fight, but it can't fight so smoothly." Lu Bu said: "Our fangs are still very tender, and we don't have the ability to compete with the Cao family. Showing your strength too early will only lead to death. The slower you advance, the more chances you have to survive. ”

"Into town!" He greeted Chen Gong: "I have some things to do, the economy is not good, the technology is not good, only the army with outdated equipment and lack of drills, we will still fall into a situation of passive beating." ”
