Because of Pan Feng's move, the war between Lu Peng and Cao Cao was ignited in advance, and this war developed directly towards a decisive battle, although both sides were in a hurry, both sides did their best.

Cao Cao led 400,000 horses to cross the Yellow River, and joined the Jia Xu Department in Heyang, with a total of 460,000 men and horses, and 400,000 people were recruited, known as one million.

On Lu Peng's side, Lu Peng's eight King Kongs, Zhao Yun, Zhao Quan, Xi Zhen, Yang Feng, Zhang Yan, Tai Shici, Pan Feng, and Zhang Jaw, all arrived.

Leaving Xu Huang to defend Xianbei in the north, and 10,000 horses and horses in the south were transferred back to help, Sun Miao took the already strong sailors to the mouth of the Yellow River and obeyed orders at any time. Youzhou Tian Chou sat in the center, Mi Zhu coordinated the money and grain, and the other Xu Shu, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Zhang Shiyuan, Su Shuang, Xu Jie, Wu Tao, Zhao Quan, and Fu Zhu all went to the army to listen to orders.

Integrating 160,000 infantry troops, 40,000 cavalry, recruiting 200,000 hired people, mobilizing all merchants under the jurisdiction of the whole north to participate in logistics supply and transportation, and mobilizing all factories and workshops under its jurisdiction to produce military supplies for the army, the entire Lu Peng Group began to operate in an orderly and efficient manner.

In terms of troop comparison, Lu Peng is less than half of Cao Cao's, Cao Cao is known as one million, and Lu Peng's announced military strength is also a real 200,000, and there is no claim at all.

The heroes of the whole world are beginning to move, and the heroes of the whole world are concerned about this decisive battle in the north, which will determine the situation in the entire north.

Retreating back to Wulongkou and meeting with your subordinates, Lu Peng began to hurriedly inspect the preparations for battle. Standing at the highest point of Wulongkou, overlooking the huge camp, there, 200,000 people who are doing their best are building this Xiongguan at a speed visible to the naked eye, this Xiongguan is backed by the Taihang Mountain, by the Shahe River, facing the vast Hebei Plain, 160,000 soldiers, according to their own light and heavy tasks, delineated their respective garrison areas, in the near future, this Xiongguan will be iron-clad.

And on the surging Sand River flowing out of Bingzhou, although the big ships cannot be moved, countless small boats like ants are overwhelmingly going back and forth, transporting all the military supplies, everything, all of which seem so tense but calm. "On the opposite side of our Wulong Pass, build another fortress, send Zhang Yan to garrison, and we are here to face the river, erect a floating pontoon bridge in the middle, form a water gate, and connect the two passes into one, so that these two passes can not only become horns for each other, but also be able to replenish the army at any time, in the future Cao Cao will face my main pass, I can quietly send troops to the opposite fortress, surprise, may also have the effect of turning the tide of the war." Xu Shu pointed out the entire layout and suggested to Lu Peng.

Lu Peng nodded, turned to Su Shuang, who was following him, and said, "This matter still needs the second brother to allocate another batch of materials, it must be fast." ”

Su Shuang immediately accepted the order, turned around and rushed to arrange.

"The cavalry of the four generals cannot be stationed in the pass, and good steel should be used on the blade, so put the four generals away from the battlefield, if Cao Cao notices it, he has to divide a part of his forces to deal with the four generals, so that we can reduce the pressure, and Cao Cao can't detect it, this is the team we have been maneuvering, and we can hit the enemy by surprise at any time." Xu Shu suggested again.

Lu Peng nodded in agreement, turned to the fourth brother Zhao Yun and said: "You are alone, be careful, you must give full play to the characteristics of your cavalry coming and going like the wind, and you must not let the Cao army catch you, and then you can weaken the Cao army as much as possible outside, and destroy their food and grass materials as much as possible." Then he specially reminded him and Fu Zhu: "You must be optimistic about Cao Cao, don't give him a surprise army like Yuan Shao to attack my key parts, and you can't let them enter our three states and destroy our belongings, so your burden is heavy." ”

Zhao Yun said proudly: "If Cao Cao can't send 200,000 horses at a time, I will definitely let the men and horses he sends come and go." ”

Then, without delay, he rushed to the great plain again, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"On the Taihang Mountain behind us, a camp of the people was set up, and the military flag was widely planted, which has been regarded as a suspicious soldier." Xu Shu suggested.

Lu Peng nodded of course: "There, it is just right for us to protect them, so that they can work for us safely and securely." ”

Xu Shu kept putting forward this suggestion, Lu Peng accepted it, Tian Feng continued to supplement and improve, and Lu Peng felt very pleased.

After stopping and inspecting, Lu Peng had confidence in his heart. Returning to the hastily built Yamen of the Chinese army, sitting on it, holding on to the rough desktop and looking down, although the fighting spirit was high, but one by one still showed a worried civil and military, Lu Peng couldn't help but secretly sigh, it seems that everyone is still worried about Cao Cao's strength.

In fact, it is true that he has been busy all these years, and Cao Cao is quietly a hundred generals and countless ministers.

Look at your subordinates again, pull and pull, there are only a dozen generals who can really get their hands on it, and there are even fewer strategists, and those who come from the hands of their father-in-law and Yuan Shao still have to take care of the place, so there are really few people available to their subordinates now. It's no wonder everyone is worried.

However, things have come to this point, there is no way back, the so-called morale can be agitated and cannot be slackened, so Lu Peng said with a nonchalant face: "Cao Cao is eloquent, known as a million army, fierce generals are like clouds, and strategists are like rain, but in my eyes, the only thing in Cao Cao's strategists that can make me jealous is only two people, one is Guo Jia, who is unparalleled in tactics, and the other is Jia Xu, who is vicious and vicious, and the others are all indiscriminate." Then he snapped his fingers and calculated: "I don't dare to be arrogant, in terms of the overall situation, I stand higher than Cao Cao, see farther, at this point, I dare not say that I am slightly better than Cao Cao, and there is no problem with him to make a draw." ”

Cao Cao is known as the hero of the world, and he does have great talent in his chest, but everyone does know that his foresight and wisdom are not inferior to him, and he does take Cao Cao's advantage everywhere.

Lu Peng praised himself unashamedly, and then pointed at Tian Feng: "If it is about conspiracy and trickery, Mr. Lao Tian will definitely not lose to Jia Xu." ”

Jia Xu is famous all over the world, of course, he is also notorious, and when he was compared to him by the lord, Tian Feng had a kind of pride that was not ashamed, but proud.

"The ghost genius Guo Jia, it is said that he has been left by Cao Cao, and he took his sailor to guard against Sun Quan, and Xun Yu, who took the stage, was sent to partner with Li Dian to guard against Xuande Gong, and the rest, a Mr. Yuanzhi can be rounded."

Xu Shu was proud and humble, not that he was not modest, but at this time, it was not the time to be modest and discouraged. Everyone has to thin donkeys to pull hard, and they have to hold on to whatever they say.

evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of the leaders and civil officials, and then said to several generals behind him: "Besides, Cao Cao's fierce generals, I despise them even more, because the way of war is now different from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it is no longer an era when generals make appointments to decide the outcome of the battle, this era is about group fighting, so the generals who are like clouds are no different from the commanders and centurions under us, and at this point, we cancel each other out." ”

Everyone thinks about it, the standard implemented by the Lu family army is discipline and unity, and Lu Peng strictly prohibits all generals from going out to fight with people, if the soldiers on both sides attack and kill each other, with discipline and fighting in battle, Cao Cao's soldiers must not be compared with their own soldiers. And if you talk about group operations, when the Lu family army was first founded, let Lu Peng, the god of war in the world, rush back in vain, are other generals still in trouble?

"And if you talk about the quality of the soldiers, my Lu Jiajun dares to say that it is the second in the world, and absolutely no one dares to say that it is the first in the world, with one-on-one, we may be equal, but if 10,000 troops go to war, we can definitely make Cao Cao's 30,000 army collapse, so calculated, Cao Cao's real army of 400,000, in fact, we can easily win with only 80,000 or 90,000."

With such a comparison of combat effectiveness, the soldiers proudly admitted that this was not intentional, it was a pride from the heart.

"And in terms of war materials and equipment, do you still have anything to worry about?"

"Nope." Everyone replied in unison.

Now all parts of Youzhou are almost responsible for the production of materials in the world, which is not comparable to Cao Cao, who has just been sanctioned by the economy.

"When we first carried out trade cooperation with Cao Cao, we used our production capacity to lower prices, and there was a lot of dumping on their market, which brought down a lot of their workshop industry, and we suddenly engaged in economic warfare against him, so that their materials were extremely scarce, and those fundamental basic raw materials, such as steel, let them re-produce, but it was just a little more than a year and less than two years, and it is estimated that they have not even built a furnace for ironmaking."

It is true that there are many things that are not achieved in a wave, and it takes a long process, the accumulation of funds, technology, talents, and skilled workers.

And when Lu Peng dumped into Cao Cao's territory, the people in Cao Cao's territory had a habitual thinking, in their opinion, everything didn't have to spend effort to build, just buy it. And even if a person of insight wants to build these things, it is a loss because of output and sales. Who would do a loss-making business, unless they were fools. And all the people in the world think they are smart people, so that except when they were strangled by the neck, they painfully found that they had nothing, which is like the Sino-US trade war in later generations, China tried its best to shout that it could confront the United States, but the United States just lightly choked a chip, and almost forced the world's second mobile phone company to go bankrupt, which is a truth.

"War is to fight for money, grain and steel, and in terms of money, we have a steady stream of mints, and we have huge gold and copper mountains in front of the household department as reserves. In terms of grain, we have reached an alliance with the south, and there is a steady stream of merchants from the north and south who have transported grain to us, and in addition to the policy of storing grain for the people that we have been implementing for more than ten years, we do not have to worry about grain at all.

And in steel, we have an absolute advantage. The current habit of war is that soldiers are only consumables, so it is inevitable that soldiers are not fully armoured, their swords and guns are not in order, and there is a shortage of equipment.

For this, of course, everyone originally expressed their habitual habits, so in addition to the output of his own Savage Valley, Lu Peng always spared no effort to purchase iron materials from those steel workshops to purchase iron materials and equip soldiers.

At that time, Lu Peng said to his subordinate martial arts: "A qualified soldier not only needs his parents to support him for 20 years, but in my place, at least three months of training, and then after three months to go to various teams to run in with other troops, not to mention anything else, just for the cost of military salaries, clothing and food for these six months, we will spend at least 20,000 yuan or more, at the same time, for every brother we die in battle, we also need a pension of 20,000 to 40,000 yuan, and every brother who dies in a war means that I have to train another soldier from scratch, so that it is economically calculated. How much do we invest? ”

"The minimum is 80,000 or even 100,000 yuan." Zhao Quan, who is in charge of recruit training, replied with deep understanding, this is a simple addition and subtraction algorithm, and he is not stupid.

"In fact, you only counted the cost of our steel coins, and forgot that the role of a veteran is much greater than that of a new soldier, the reason why our combat effectiveness is so strong is because in our army, veterans occupy eighty percent, and excessive casualties will reduce our morale, therefore, the negative effect of killing a brother in battle is simply infinitely harmful."

As a general and a soldier, Wenchen nodded in agreement.

"However, we have sharp longbows and giant arrows, powerful fire oil bombs, things are different, let's talk about the giant arrows of our longbows first, you see, the normal arrow cluster is half a tael of fine iron, and a pound of fine iron costs thirteen yuan, that is to say, an arrow cluster costs more than four cents and less than five cents, plus other arrow shafts or something, about an arrow costs twenty cents, but what about our giant arrows, the arrow cluster only needs rough iron, I talked to the shopkeeper of the iron factory, that is, nine dollars a catty, but our arrow cluster needs two taels, Therefore, our arrow cluster is one for every ten yuan, plus our arrow shaft, because we don't need feather glue paint, so the production and process requirements are simple, therefore, our giant arrow is twenty yuan, if the ordinary arrow cluster needs twenty to kill an enemy, and my giant arrow only needs ten to become, then, what is the price of killing an enemy and we exchanging a brother's life for five enemies, that is, to fill with human life, we need close to 100,000 yuan for an enemy's life, And how much do I need now? Erbaiwen, do you think this conversion is appropriate? ”

All the civil and military forces were dumbfounded, they really didn't expect that the war could be calculated by price, and in this way, it would be too amazing.

"It doesn't matter, if ten doesn't work, I'll have twenty, and if twenty doesn't work, I'll have fifty, for example, the 500,000 catties of rough iron I ordered this time can completely build four million giant arrows, according to the probability, at least 200,000 Cao Jun can be killed, if I invest another four million, I can drown Cao Cao with countless four million, do you think this situation is impossible?" Although he secretly changed a little concept, it was indeed the truth, and then Lu Peng sat down and looked at everyone who had been shocked by the scene of countless four million giant arrows roaring into the sky, "Remember, from now on, war will play steel, not a sea of people tactics, as long as I have enough steel, I will be invincible in the world." ”

For a long time, the eldest brother who was in a cold sweat stumbled and said: "Third brother, then why don't you use refined iron instead of rough iron, is this also a price consideration?" ”

"Wrong." Lu Peng firmly judged the obvious mistake of the eldest brother: "Because after our giant arrow is shot, it will be picked up by the enemy, and then shot back, or build ordnance, which is still harmful to us, and now, Cao Cao we are facing, after several years of communication with us, has learned the power of our giant arrow, although he does not know how to produce, they are more short of iron, so they will be desperate to pick up our arrow cluster, therefore, as long as my rough iron arrow cluster hits the ground, it will almost crumble, I only need a one-time one, which is beneficial to us, Never use clusters of arrows that can increase the enemy's strength, and you must remember this in the future. ’

"Third brother, I'm convinced, the emotional war can be calculated with money." This time, you are completely convinced of Lu Peng, the theory of this immortal descendant.
