Seeing that Zhang Liao can be annihilated, and then capture Lu Bu and Hao Meng alive, this bone is actually killing a soldier and horse in the north! Moreover, the soldiers and horses were well-trained, and even though the banging cannon here exploded not far away, this soldier and horse was not afraid at all like a dead soldier, and kept moving closer to Zhang Liao under the leadership of the general.

Seeing the arrival of this infantry, Zhang Liao hurriedly led the rout army towards him, and it turned out that the person who came was none other than the most elite infantry under Lu Bu - trapped in the camp!

And the commander of this army is none other than Gao Shun under Lu Bu, who is second only to Zhang Liao!

After Zhang Liao and Gao Shun fought, Zhang Liao pointed to the city gate and said that Lu Bu was under the city, and Gao Shun led the trapped camp to run towards the city gate under the cover of Zhang Liao. The artillery fire in the city became more and more intense, as if Yu Ban wanted to throw all the cannonballs he brought in this battle!

There was a strong smell of gunpowder everywhere on the ground, and a bomb fell into Gao Shun's trap camp, which hurriedly raised its tall shield, and the bomb exploded on the shield. The artillery attack power was still not strong enough, and after the explosion, the bomb did not break the shield of the trapped camp, and because of the shield blocking, the flying iron nails did not hurt the soldiers of the trapped camp.

Seeing that this could actually resist the shells, Gao Shun hurriedly ordered the soldiers to form a phalanx with shields and kill at Xiaopei's door. When Cao Chun and Zhang Liao were killed together, in order to avoid injuring Cao Chun, the soldiers did not dare to continue to fire artillery, so when Lu Bu killed wave after wave of soldiers, Gao Shun still led the trap camp to the city.

Under the cover of the tall tunpai, Lu Bu and Hao Meng hurriedly hid in the shield, and they didn't want war horses.

After escaping from outside the city, Yu Ban hurriedly ordered people to level the trap, and then led his troops out of Simen to chase and kill Lu Bu. After escaping from the range of the artillery, Lu Bu turned on a fast horse and brandished his weapon to fight Cao Chun, who was about to fight. Lu Bu wielded Fang Tian's halberd, because Lu Bu was tall and powerful, Fang Tian's halberd was much longer than Cao Chun's weapon, so when Lu Bu brandished Fang Tian's halberd and Cao Chun fought together, Cao Chun only had the strength to parry, and there was no chance to attack at all.

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao led their troops back to fight with the Hell Demon Army, and due to Lu Bu's large numbers, Cao Chun's army and horses were quickly surrounded. But fortunately, the Hell Demon Army is a cavalry legion, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong, so it fought for half an hour, although there were few people, it still did not have the upper hand. There were more and more corpses falling on the ground, but the corpses of Lu Bu's soldiers were five times as large as the Hell Demon Army!

After more than ten rounds of fighting with Lu Bu, when he saw that he couldn't beat Lu Bu, Yu Ban's army came from behind, and when he saw that reinforcements were coming, Lu Bu hurriedly abandoned Cao Chun and headed north.

Yu Ban chased for more than ten miles, and saw that Lu Bu had already escaped, so he could only return in a huff.

Cleaning the battlefield, Yu Ban let people go to Pengcheng to return to the war report, this battle almost captured Lu Bu, although Lu Bu left, but captured Lu Bu a war horse, captured Lu Bu wolf cavalry more than 500 people, more than 2,000 infantry, and countless baggage. After occupying Xiaopei, Yu Ban let Liu Ye Zhang Bang Anmin, and the common people heard that it was Tao Ying's soldiers and horses calling, and they all went out to celebrate excitedly.

After extinguishing the war and cleaning up the corpses on the battlefield, Cao Chun's Hell Demon Army lost nearly 100 people in this battle, so Cao Chun incorporated more than 500 wolf horsemen into his Hell Demon Army.

After the news of the victory over Lu Bu came, Tao Ying was overjoyed, and ordered people to bring pork and gold and silver to reward the soldiers, and then rewarded Yu Ban, Liu Ye, Cao Chun, Li Dian and others for their meritorious deeds, and added officials to knighthood.

In this battle, Xiaopei, the governance office of Pei was recovered, and Lu Qian led the soldiers and horses to relocate the governance office to Xiaopei. After Lu Bu left, Liu Ye said that he should take advantage of Lu Bu's weakness to continue to go north to conquer Lu Bu. But now it's almost June, it's the harvest season soon, and now the rainy season is capricious, if you don't harvest the wheat in Xuzhou, in case of mold, Xuzhou's military rations are all gone!

So Tao Ying ordered not to go north to attack Lü Bu for the time being, and instead the Hell Demon Army went to Langya to destroy Lü Bu's wheat, and the other soldiers and horses returned to their own military reclamation areas to collect their wheat!

So Li Dian led his troops back to Pengcheng, and Yu Ban led his troops back to the Yongqiu generation to station, and went to harvest wheat in the military reclamation area in the south of Peiguo. This year is a bumper harvest year, Xuzhou ushered in a bumper harvest, after the wheat harvest in the land of nine counties, it can supply Xuzhou for three years! Moreover, there are more and more stocks in the military reclamation area, and there is no need to worry about the situation that occurred when Pengcheng was first taken because of foreign wars, and the corpses of the people are floating all over the field.

The wheat was harvested in June, because it was the season of the wheat harvest, and there was no fighting in all the lands. After harvesting the wheat, Tao Ying ordered the counties to leave enough grain and grass for a year, and then transported all the remaining grain and grass to Pengcheng and Xiapi by large ships.

With the continuous progress of reform, with the invention and use of weapons and various supplies, Pengchengguo became more and more prosperous. After he became wealthy, Tao Ying built water conservancy facilities everywhere, and then promoted scientific farming from Pengcheng to Xiapiguo, Peiguo, Donghai County, and Liang Kingdom. In the south, under the research and management of the rice school, the cultivation of rice has also begun to increase significantly, and Xuzhou has gradually become a major grain producing state.

Compared with the bumper harvest in Xuzhou, many other states have been affected. Especially in the land of Yanzhou and Sanqin, for a time the grain in those places was as expensive as gold. Lu Su took this opportunity to make the Xuzhou Commercial Bank from Yanzhou to the land of Sanqin. In the course of a year, the head office took Qingdao County as a transit station, and made the sound to Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Liaodong through waterways.

Moreover, after the discovery of iron ore in Liaodong, the head office spent a lot of money to buy a county rich in iron ore in Xiangping, Liaodong, and then named him Tiecheng. Then a steel refinery was set up in Tiecheng, and after the iron was smelted, it was transported by water to a port purchased by the Xuzhou General Commercial Bank in Liaodong, named Yingkou Port.

After the iron was transported to Tiecheng, in order to be able to process and manufacture in the north, and then there was no need to go back to Pengcheng for processing, the head office selected a base in the north. There are very few people here, and it is a piece of land that extends to the sea, which is later Lushun and Dalian.

For this wasteland, Tao Ying encouraged the people to come and reclaim the wasteland. As long as the people who come to Lushun and Dalian to reclaim the famine, the government rewards the land, solves the problem of round-trip travel expenses, and provides free fertilizer and the opportunity to enter the ordnance manufacturing company.

Due to the continuous wars, coupled with the population restrictions imposed by Peng Chengguo, and the Hongda volunteers of some enthusiastic young people, many people joined in the reclamation of Lushun and Dalian. So in June, large ships set off from Xuzhou, rushed to Qingzhou after Qingdao for supplies, and then sailed to Dalian and Lushun after supplies in Qingzhou.

After slowly more and more people, Tao Ying established Lushun City and Dalian City, and then set up government offices, schools, and factories, making the two places the largest cold weapons manufacturing factory, the largest steel mill and firearms manufacturing plant in the north.

They relied on the iron of the iron city to build weapons and then sold them to Liaodong, Youzhou and Jizhou. Even Lu Su opened the Xuzhou Commercial Bank on the territory of the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan. With the expansion of the trading house, Tao Ying's espionage activities also slowly extended to his biggest old rival Yuan Shao.

At this time, the situation in the north also spread to Xuzhou little by little.
