Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun accompanied Lu Bu around the barracks.

I heard from Lu Bu about the benefits of attacking Huainan, and the morale of the soldiers was high, and almost everyone was polishing their weapons.

The barracks were filled with the sound of sharpening weapons.

When Lu Bu walked to a place, the soldiers would stand up and salute.

Walking around the barracks, Lu Bu felt that the soldiers' chests were rising with fighting spirit.

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun walked on either side of him.

was about to walk out of the barracks, Lu Bu explained to the two: "The Qingzhou Army is from the Yellow Turban, and the soldiers still have banditry in their bones. It was not easy to take them, and the two generals had to bother more. ”

"If it weren't for the warm weather, we wouldn't even be able to mobilize." Zhang Liao shook his head: "I have never seen such a difficult soldier." ”

"The more difficult it is to bring soldiers, the easier it is to surprise us." Lu Bu replied casually.

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun didn't quite understand the meaning of his words.

The two of them glanced at each other, and both set their eyes on Lu Bu.

Lu Bu didn't explain, dropped such a sentence, and left with a few guards.

Confused, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun stood side by side.

Seeing Lu Bu's back, neither of them understood, how could it be that the more difficult the soldiers to bring, the easier it was to surprise them?

When Lu Bu left the barracks, it was already approaching dusk.

Every day, the Pengcheng government assigns different people to work in different industries.

Those who possess a skill are left in the city.

According to their respective skills, the government assigned houses, shops, and workshops in the city.

Pengcheng, which was once dead and silent, gradually gained vitality with the opening of workshops.

Those who did not have any skills and could only survive on physical strength were selected and sent to the coal mines.

Civilians who did not want to go to the mines or participate in the screening were sent to villages outside the city.

People abandoned the deserted villages created by the war, and new villages rose from the ground.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians were being diverted day by day, and on the day when Lu Bu was about to go on the expedition, Pengcheng was already in order.

Pengcheng has a long history, although the Han Dynasty intentionally or unintentionally forgot this city that once carried the glory of the overlord of Western Chu and witnessed his rise and fall, but its heritage is always there.

In terms of floor area, it is much larger than Xiapi.

When Lu Bu returned home, the sun had already set below the horizon, and the sky had turned from orange to gray.

Before entering the front yard, a servant trotted over with his head down: "Qi Qi waits, Xun Gong and General Xu have been waiting for a long time." ”

"Invite them to the front room." Lu Bu commanded.

The next night was about to set out on the expedition, Xun You and Xu Huang visited, just to ask him if he had any plans to crusade against Huainan.

Lu Bu sat down in the front hall for a while, and the servants led Xun You and Xu Huang to come.

When the two of them entered the house, Lu Bu got up to greet each other: "Duke Xun, General Xu, there is a long way to go!" ”

"We've been here for a while." The two returned the salute, and Xun You smiled and said, "I heard that Wen Hou went to the barracks, I don't know how to prepare?" ”

"The army will march early tomorrow morning, and there will be no delay for a moment." Lu Bu swore and said: "I promise the two of you that you will not enter Huainan and will not garrison!" ”

"With the words Wen Hou, we can go back and substitute for Cao Gong." Xun You smiled even brighter: "Dare to ask Wen Hou, what else do we need to do?" ”

"Although Yuan Shu is dead, Huainan still has twenty or thirty thousand elite soldiers." Lu Bu said: "The two of you sent a lot of grain and grass, but ......."

"Cao Gong transferred the Qingzhou Army to Wen Hou, and the number is already superior to Huainan, what else is there to worry about?" Xun You said: "Huainan is not even Yuan Shu, can Wen Hou still take them in his eyes?" ”

"Of course it will be in the eye." Lu Bu Zhengse said: "Yuan Shu is only a husband, after his death, Yang Hong, Zhang Xun and others are committed to the revitalization of Huainan, and now the Huainan army is more powerful than before." Xun Gong didn't dare to underestimate them. ”

"Wen Hou is exaggerating when he says that." Before Xun You could respond, Xu Huang said: "In Huainan, three thousand elite soldiers are enough to break through ......."

"General Xu bravely crowned the three armies, and taking the head of the general in the army of ten thousand troops is like probing the bag." Lu Bu said with a serious face: "It's better to be like this, please ask the general to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to attack Huainan, and I will lead the army to cheer later, what does the general think?" ”

Cao Cao wanted Lu Bu to lead the army to break Huainan, and Xu Huang almost piled things up by him when he answered.

Xu Huang, who was full of black lines, was indignant in his heart, and was about to defend himself, when Xun You glanced at him.

Seeing Xun You's eyes, Xu Huang was silent.

"Wen Hou also said that there are still twenty or thirty thousand elites in Huainan, and with the number of Qingzhou troops, it is still difficult to break through, not to mention that General Xu only brings two or three thousand people?" Xun You with a kind smile: "General Xu is straightforward, and he is also eager to take Huainan as soon as possible to relieve the worries of the Lord and the Lord, please forgive me if I offend Wen Hou." ”

"Xun Gong's words are serious." Lu Bu waved his hand again and again: "What I just said is from the bottom of my heart. You and I are both working for Cao Gong, General Xu has that ability, of course I am willing to give up the credit. ”

"Don't laugh." Xun You smiled and waved his hand repeatedly.

He then asked Lu Bu, "Dare to ask Wen Hou, what else do you need?" ”

"Armor, armor, and food." Lu Bu said: "The grain and grass can be slowed down, and now what I lack most is weapons and armor." When Duke Xun came to Pengcheng, he should have seen that although there were many soldiers in the Qingzhou army, the weapons they used had long been outdated. If you don't replace it, I'm afraid of ......."

Speaking of this, Lu Bu shook his head.

The Qingzhou army has 30,000 people, and if you replace 30,000 weapons, even Cao Cao will have a headache.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the iron-smelting process was still relatively backward.

It is not easy to make weapons and farm tools.

Lu Bu's conditions are tantamount to a lion's opening for Xun You.

"More than 30,000 weapons ......" Xun You shook his head: "I'm afraid the Cao family won't be able to take it out." ”

"I also know Cao Gong's difficulties." Lu Bu seemed to be very understanding and said, "Why don't Xun Gong help me solve 20,000 cases." ”

Lu Bu cut down 10,000 weapons as soon as he opened his mouth, which was already full of sincerity.

Even if Xun Youzhi skipped people, he couldn't respond with a shy face.

Xun You pinched his chin and muttered for a moment: "Wen Hou will go on the expedition tomorrow, and 20,000 weapons will be delivered, but it will take many days......"

"The defense of the cities around Huainan is relatively lax." Lu Bu replied: "I will lead the army to occupy one or two first, and wait for the weapons in Huainan." Xun Gong could only solve 20,000 pieces of weapons, and I had to lead 20,000 soldiers to the battle. The difference between the forces of the two sides is not large, and the outcome is unpredictable! ”

Lu Bu made it clear that he would bring as many soldiers as he gave as many weapons.

Xun You's head was suddenly full of black lines.

It wasn't that he didn't know Lu Bu before.

In his impression, Lu Bu in the past was very easy to fool, as long as he gave a date, he would smack his mouth and say it was sweet.

And the person in front of him, although he has a young face, is scheming, and every word he says is digging a hole for people.
