Everyone else's gifts are gone, and for this leading brother, of course, his future allies can't be waiting. Strengthening Liu Bei is tantamount to hiring and killing people, which is equivalent to fighting a proxy war, so Lu Peng's gift to Liu Bei is very rich.

Lu Peng's gift to Liu Bei was, including 100,000 stainless steel spear heads, 20,000 steel knives in the Savage Valley, 1 million regular arrow clusters, 30,000 pairs of generals' armor, and 1 billion yuan in military salaries at all levels. Then he generously showed: "Just this batch of materials is enough for my brother to train an army of 100,000, and according to the cost of my brother's army, within two years, you will no longer have to collect a penny of rice from the people." ”

With this big stroke, Liu Bei, who was excited at that time, was like a drunk, swaying on this boat, if it wasn't for Lu Peng holding his hand tightly, he would have been able to fall into the river.

Speaking of Liu Bei, wandering around a few ups and downs, he was finally taken in by Liu Biao and became a watchdog of Liu Biao, but this watchdog is indeed a little miserable, not only has to do his best to watch the door, but also has to bring his own dog food.

However, Xinye is such a big place, Liu Bei has to implement light taxation for the sake of people's livelihood, and as a result, his military income is pitiful. However, Cao Cao in the north continued to grow, and Chen Bing was eyeing millions of tigers, and he could be crushed by a large army at any time and crush him into powder.

In such an embarrassing situation, it is still hindered and disliked by Cai Mao and others, and the most important thing is to restrict and suppress, which is really a domestic and external dilemma.

And this time Lu Peng came to reinforce him, he was grateful from the heart, but his expectations were not very big, in his opinion, Lu Peng could help himself some is already good, especially on the Yangtze River, when Lu Peng was still swearing with Sun Quan, he gave Sun Quan a big comparison of his own materials, then he will get less, but he didn't expect that this shot can equip 100,000 troops, and even the money for the salary of the three armies has been brought. From this point, it can be seen how rich Youzhou is.

Of course, Liu Bei also knew the reason why Lu Peng was so generous, and he also knew what he should do, everyone took what they needed, but for being so generous, Liu Bei still thanked Lu Peng from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, the equipment of the 100,000 army is still according to Lu Peng's standards, if it is really done according to the equipment level of other warlords in the Han Dynasty now, these equipment can organize a 200,000 iron army without military salaries (of course, in this era, the generals have some military salaries, and the soldiers have absolutely nothing, and it is good to be able to eat a full meal a day.) If that billion money can buy 2.5 million stone of rice, 2.5 million yuan, then it can give the soldiers two meals a day and a full meal for two and a half years.

With such a huge reinforcement, how can Liu Bei not feel that it is a charcoal in the snow, no, it is a warm treasure in the snow, or the kind that brings his own charger. This time he really cried, mixing the sadness and joy in his heart, hugging Lu Peng and crying.

Lu Peng had to hug him, patted him on the back and whispered: "Don't cry, there are outsiders, this will make people misunderstand." ”

A long line of soldiers, shuttling back and forth between this dock and Xinye City, carrying this massive amount of supplies, Lu Peng finally made a bloody investment, and simply dismantled half of the catapults and bed crossbows on his 60 warships and gave them to Liu Bei. This made Liu Bei have to support the wall when he walked.

Of course, the banquet was to be placed, and in Liu Bei's humble yamen, Liu Bei took all his subordinates to gather together, drink and sing.

Those civil and military soldiers who were used to being embarrassed with Liu Bei sang and drank one by one, a rare extravagant indulgence.

And Liu Bei also ordered that in order to celebrate the arrival of his brother together, he also bought beef, sheep and pork, so that the soldiers of the three armies, who rarely saw meat, opened up for a meal, so inside and outside Xinye, there were bursts of joy and thunder.

In the company of Zhang Fei, a master of drinking, Lu Peng disobeyed others to support the wall. Of course, in the middle of the night, he still felt Liu Bei's thoughtfulness in the corners. This made Lu Peng nauseous for a while, but in the end he couldn't hold back and vomited him directly.

As a result, Liu Bei was not only not annoyed, but was extremely happy, look, Lu Peng vomited me, what does that mean, he didn't treat him as a Han general, the state pastor, the Hou Ye, the master of the three states plus the huge grassland, he took me as his brother, otherwise, why didn't he spit on you?

On the second day, Lü Peng, accompanied by Liu Bei, inspected Liu Bei's three armies.

Now Liu Bei with the help of the conscientious Xu Shu, it can be said that he has made great progress, and after the last defeat, the current Liu Bei has 5,000 soldiers.

Now Liu Bei's army of 5,000 is already the limit of what Liu Bei can afford. But judging from these troops, Liu Bei can be regarded as having made a bloody investment, whether it is in terms of equipment, the spirit of the soldiers, and the training, it is a hundred times stronger than Liu Biao's army in Jingzhou.

Of course, in Lu Peng's eyes, such an army, that is, the level of those people temporarily hired by Youzhou during the war, is not worth mentioning at all.

So, in Liu Bei's triumphant, Lu Peng unceremoniously expressed his praise and gratification. At this point, let's be honest, it's annoying. In this paragraph, Lu Peng has kicked Liu Chu many times who always wants to pout his lips, and finally had to explain to Liu: "Jiangnan is not accustomed to water and soil, he is paralyzed, and he has convulsions." ”

On the third day, Lu Peng, who was noncommittal, was accompanied by Liu Bei to visit the Xinye countryside.

I have to say that in civil affairs, Xu Shu is indeed a talent who is good at civil affairs, in this place where there is a shortage of soldiers, when their minds are full of rotten feudal ideas, they really managed this Xinye in this short period of more than two years, and it was in good order, although the people did not reach the point of abundant food and clothing, but they did not freeze and starve to death in the ditch.

Not only that, but along the way, the people I saw were all humble and polite, showing the achievements of education in addition to showing the simple folk customs, which made Lu Peng admire this Xu Shu in his heart.

Of course, this time Liu Chu still had convulsions, so Lu Peng had to quietly pinch him with concern, and at the same time let him go back to the museum with concern, this is a disease, and he has to be raised.

After checking Xinye, Liu Bei and his entourage went directly to the Fancheng that was taken from Cao Cao's hands.

Now Fancheng is guarded by Guan Yu, with 1,000 troops.

After Lu Peng visited Fancheng, he didn't express any opinions, so Liu Bei humbly asked Lu Peng for advice: "The virtuous brother has more interactions with Cao Cao, what do you feel about Cao Cao's use of soldiers?" At the same time, what are your insights on the defense of Fancheng? Please also ask the virtuous brother not to be stingy with advice. ”

Since he was asked, Lu Peng told the truth: "Xuande Gong owns Xinye and occupies Fancheng, in Xuande Gong's opinion, Fancheng is your first front line against Cao Cao, and in the eyes of the younger brother, it is Xuande Gong's way to defeat." ”

Liu Bei was surprised by this, Xu Shu understood, and Guan Yu was not convinced.

Lu Peng patiently explained: "Cao Cao has a large number of troops, and his generals are able to gather, the last time it was the military division who used clever tactics to catch Cao Cao off guard, so that you got this Fancheng, and I think Xuande Gong means to use it as a barrier for Xinye to protect the safe development of Xinye, but such an idea?" ”

Others are afraid of hurting Liu Bei's face when they speak, but Lu Peng, whether in terms of identity and status or the current relationship between the two parties, really has no need to be that false humility, in order for him to hold on for a while longer and drag Cao Cao for himself, he must say Liu Bei's shortcomings, so he is calm.

In the face of Liu Bei's solicitation of his opinion, in order to allow him to persist in containing Cao Cao for a long time, Lu Peng put forward his opinions to Liu Bei in Fancheng.

"Fancheng is the frontline barrier of Xinye, this is originally a good move, but it is not good for Xuande Gong here."

Liu Bei humbly asked: "The virtuous brother has been in battle for a long time, and he must have excellent opinions, so hurry up and tell the foolish brother." ”

Lu Peng said bluntly: "Fancheng and Xinye are separated by a river, in terms of transportation, it is equivalent to staying away from Xinye, if once Cao Cao comes to attack, it is inevitable that reinforcements will be unfavorable, so it is equivalent to isolating Fancheng from your forces, which is equivalent to an enclave." At the same time, you are now guarding the men and horses of Fancheng, but only a thousand, evenly spread to the heads of each city, about two or three steps away from only one person, such a thin force, if Cao Cao comes to attack, it must be 100,000 troops pressed by the whole army, surrounded on all sides and attacked, Fancheng is like a fishing net leaking everywhere, and the city will be broken in a blink of an eye, at that time, this Fancheng not only can not become a barrier to Xinye, but therefore consumes your small number of troops, which is absolutely undesirable. ”

Taking a look at Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who were unwilling, Lu Peng said again: "So what I mean is to completely empty this Fancheng, and after obtaining this batch of huge material gains, shrink the troops, clench them into fists, and use Xinye's popular will as the basis to truly fight against Cao Cao." ”

Xu Shu has raised this matter several times, and if Lu Peng mentions it again today, he has to let Liu Bei think about it carefully.

Lu Peng's suggestion, this is what Liu Bei should do now. But it is also Liu Bei's most reluctant to do.

He is cramped in Xinye, and other places are Liu Biao's territory, and he can't occupy it at all, Fancheng is the achievement of Liu Bei's first external expansion, which can not only show Liu Biao his ability, but also increase the population of a large area of land, enhance his strength and strategic depth, how can he give up easily?

At this time, Xu Shu also stood up and said to Liu Bei: "What General Lu said is very true, this is the defensive method that his subordinates have been proposing, and I ask the lord to accept it." ”

Xu Shu has raised this matter several times, but Liu Bei is reluctant, Guan Yu does not agree, so he does not insist anymore, and now Lu Peng proposes it again, Xu Shu takes this opportunity to admonish again.

Seeing that Guan Yu was not convinced, Lu Peng smiled and said: "The second general doesn't have to be unconvinced, I heard that now Cao Cao has chiseled the water of the Zhanghe River, made a Xuanwu pool, practiced the water army day and night, and prepared to wave his army south, this water army is to deal with Sun Quan, but as long as he divides a fleet out, he will cut off the river behind this Fancheng and completely isolate you, in fact, there is no need to beat you at all, it is estimated that in two or three months, you can only admit defeat, and at that time, even if you admit defeat, you have nowhere to go." ”

If he was captured by Cao Cao again this time, and then wanted to have a dirt mountain about three things, and played Cao Cao, then don't even think about it, Cao Cao definitely cut off Guan Yu's head as soon as possible.

Guan Yu lowered his head and thought for a long time before he sighed and said to Liu Bei: "Brother, just listen to the two gentlemen." ”

Liu Bei finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet to accept this fact, and ordered Guan Yu to start moving Fancheng in the near future, moving all the things that could be moved in Fancheng, and moving all the people to Xinye, leaving Cao Cao with an empty city.

After these matters were decided, several people returned to Xinye and formally sat down to discuss the issue of the alliance between the two sides.

Lü Peng sincerely put forward many pertinent suggestions to Liu Bei, and finally the two sides reached an agreement, Lü Peng will spare no effort to provide him with grain and grass materials when Liu Bei is attacked by Cao Cao, and also promised to give him 10,000 horses in the past year to help Liu Bei form his personal soldier team, the white ear soldiers of later generations.

In the face of Cao Cao, the two sides reached a consensus that the south would attack and the north would defend, and the north would defend and the south would attack, and both sides would have to pull Cao Cao's hind legs.

After the matter was negotiated, Lu Peng pointed out to Liu Bei intentionally or unintentionally, if he had the opportunity, he would treat Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

Of course, Liu Bei shirked in every possible way, showing his loyal nature, what he thought in his heart, that was another matter.

In these days with Liu Bei, Lu Peng is also constantly getting close to Xu Shu, sparing no effort to show his talent and ability in front of Xu Shu, and describing to him his Youzhou policy and the current achievements of Youzhou.

After getting along with Lu Peng, Xu Shu admired Lu Peng's ability and his thoughts that others did not have, and always sighed that Lu Peng was really a blessing to the people after the gods. I am already full of yearning for Youzhou.

With the material support of Lu Peng, Liu Bei began to recruit a large number of troops and train soldiers under the guidance of Lu Peng, and Lu Peng also taught his own training experience, army establishment, use of weapons, etc., etc., showing absolute sincerity to Liu Bei, which not only won the favor of Liu Bei's three brothers, but also made Xu Shu close to Lu Peng.

It's such a simple delay, it's already October, the south wind on the sea is about to turn into a north wind, if Lu Peng doesn't go, the journey back will be even more difficult, especially pinching his fingers, it has been seven months since he came out in March, and a big mess in Youzhou really makes Lu Peng unable to stay anymore.

So just when the autumn wind first rose, Lu Peng took his fleet, bid farewell to Liu Bei, who was reluctant, returned to the Yangtze River, went down the river, and turned to the Bohai Sea to turn around Youzhou, because after he went back, there was a very critical thing waiting for him to do, that is, to pick up the leak under Cao Cao's men and deceive Xu Shu into his own hands.
