There was no one else in the warehouse, so Lu Bu no longer concealed his true thoughts in his heart, and he said to Gao Shun: "Although the armored cavalry is powerful, it is not a matter of ten days to form combat power, our top priority is to get rid of the threat of the Xiliang army, I don't know if Sui Zhong has any good suggestions?" ”

Gao Shun thought for a moment and replied cautiously: "In the humble opinion of his subordinates, it is better to distribute the excellent weapons and armor in this arsenal to the soldiers of Bingzhou, which can not only strengthen our strength, but also make the name of the main book deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

Gao Shun's suggestion is obvious, that is, to be generous to the country, use the military resources of the Han Empire to equip the troops of the state, and at the same time buy the hearts and minds of Lu Bu.

Such a proposal, Lu Bu felt that it was too much!

He loved it, though!

Without further ado, Lu Bu immediately asked Gao Shun to go out and inform the officers at all levels above the tun commander in the state battalion to come to the arsenal in batches to select the weapons and armor they liked and took advantage of, and each person was limited to no more than two sets.

According to the military system of the Han Dynasty, one tun is 100 people, and the officers at the level of tun commander are equivalent to the company commanders of later generations, although their status is not high, they are the grassroots backbone of a force.

The first group of people to arrive were Han Wei, Hao Meng and other battalion officers and generals, they had actually been greedy for the things in the arsenal for a long time, but because of the ruthless character of the chief bookkeeper Lu Bu, who couldn't be provoked, they didn't dare to act rashly. Now that Lu Bu is standing in the arsenal and making his own decisions, let them choose at will, these guys will naturally not be polite. Anyway, if Ding Yuan blames or even punishes him afterwards, there is also a tall man like Lu Bu to stand up.

After the high-ranking officers in the army left, a large number of Lu Bu's troops poured in. Subordinates like Cheng Lian and Wei Yue, who like to charge, specially select heavy hundred-tempered steel armor, maces, and large axes with long handles and wide blades; Cao Xing and Xue Lan were good at archery, and they were particularly interested in all kinds of bows and crossbows; Song Xian, Hou Cheng and others are also quick-sighted, for fear that the good guys who take advantage of them will be snatched away by others.

Lu Bu specially told Gao Shun to let Gao Shun choose the weapons he had in hand, and at the same time, don't forget to choose some high-quality weapons and armor for Li Feng, who rushed to Hanoi, and Zhang Liao and others, who were in Hanoi.

When all the officers above the commander had finished changing their outfits, it was already evening, and Lu Bu notified each battalion again, requesting that in the order of front, middle, rear, left and right, be led by the commander of the tun, and each battalion should enter the arsenal one at a time, corresponding to the long arsenal, bow and crossbow warehouse, shield warehouse, armor warehouse, and horse harness warehouse, and under the supervision of Gao Shun and the battalion officers of the battalion, they would collectively select weapons and armor suitable for their respective soldiers!

This was a laborious and time-consuming task, but fortunately, the space in the arsenal was open enough, and Gao Shun and the battalion officers of each battalion organized and supervised it on the spot, so in the second half of the night, the change of equipment of the whole army in Bingzhou was also quickly completed.

After receiving Gao Shun's report, Lu Bu immediately issued another rather puzzling order, that is, all battalions were required to hand over all kinds of weapons and protective equipment that had been eliminated in a centralized manner, and not to keep them privately or even leave the barracks.

Of course, although it is incomprehensible, it is impossible for the soldiers who have received great benefits and sweetness to disobey Lu Bu's will at this time, and they are very cooperative to hand over things like old weapons and protective gear that are no longer used.

Just when the soldiers and generals in the state camp were "guarding and stealing" in the dark behind closed doors, a pretentious troop transfer was also underway.

After Dong Zhuo returned to the former general's mansion from Nangong, he lost his temper with his staff, cursing Ding Yuan for being a stupid donkey who didn't know how to die. Dong Zhuo's confidant Li Ru asked the reason, so he suggested that Dong Zhuo set up a suspicious formation and make the illusion that the Xiliang army had entered Beijing, so as to force Ding Yuan to make concessions.

Li Ru's specific suggestion was to send several troops to enter from the Upper West Gate, Yongmen Gate and Guangyang Gate on the west side of Ruoyang City every evening, and then pass through the entire city, and then leave from the Upper East Gate, Middle East Gate and Consumption Gate on the east side.

Wait until these small forces leave Luoyang City and go twenty miles to the east, and then in the middle of the night, they will go around the city from the river south of Luoyang City near Luoshui and return to Shanglin Yuan, which is located in the west of Luoyang City. When it was daytime, let these feigned troops hide and rest in the upper forest garden, and wait until night to repeat the previous day's movements again. Repeating the cycle like this for three or five days will give the people in Luoyang City the illusion that the Xiliang army is constantly arriving in Beijing.

Li Ru's suggestion was not costly, which could not only affect the judgment of the ministers of the DPRK and China, but also cause a huge deterrent to Dong Zhuo's newly incorporated Jingshi Forbidden Army, so as soon as it was proposed, it was recognized and approved by Dong Zhuo.

In the middle of the night, when the soldiers of Bingzhou were still selecting weapons and equipment in the arsenal, Hou Cheng and Song Xianzheng, who had already completed the change of clothes, sent people to monitor the city gates of Luoyang, and these scouts naturally would not turn a blind eye to the big movements made by the Xiliang Army, so Lu Bu also knew about the movements of the Xiliang Army at the first time.

Lu Bu had expected this, so he didn't panic much, and he didn't make any immediate moves, but just told Hou Cheng and Song Xian to continue to be vigilant.

Although Lu Bu knew in his heart what tricks Dong Zhuo was doing, Ding Yuan and some ministers in the court were nervous by the transfer of the Xiliang army, and some wrong speculations and associations arose from this.

In the next few days, the Xiliang army entered Luoyang City from the west in a "steady stream", and left Luoyang City from the east gate. This shocked the ministers of the court and Ding Yuan, who had never been very afraid of Dong Zhuo, remembered Lu Bu's words, so he moved back to the barracks from the Zhijinwu Mansion, for fear that he would be murdered by Dong Zhuo.

Seeing Ding Yuan return to the camp, Lu Bu was a little unhappy, because he was worried that the military power he had obtained would be taken away by Ding Yuan.

The word deprivation is interpreted as the meaning of deprivation according to law.

As the main general, Ding Yuan had every right to take back the tiger talisman authorized to Lu Bu. The reason is very simple, Ding Yuan was not in the camp a few days ago, so he gave Lu Bu a tiger talisman and allowed Lu Bu to command and mobilize a battalion of soldiers and horses in an emergency. Now that Ding Yuan is personally in charge of the large battalion of the state army, the transfer of soldiers and horses in each battalion is not up to him?

The eldest husband can't be without power for a day, and Lu Bu can't return the military power to Ding Yuan under any circumstances. For this reason, he is ready to do something that will impress Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo!

That night, after Ding Yuan fell asleep, Lu Bu personally took six hundred carefully selected elite cavalry, as well as five subordinates, including Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Cao Xing, Xue Lan, and Song Xian, and quietly left from Gumen. Gao Shun and the rest of the generals stayed in the camp and watched over Ding Yuan.

Coming to the foot of Beibi Mountain, Lu Bu told several subordinates that this time they were going to fight the Xiliang army, setting up an ambush around Shanglin Yuan, and striving to take down the leaders of the Xiliang cavalry who frequently entered and exited Luoyang City in one fell swoop.

Hou Cheng told everyone that after several days of day and night surveillance, it was completely certain that the Xiliang Army was in a suspicious formation, and the main force had not arrived in Luoyang at all, and the cavalry that entered and exited Luoyang City every day was just the 3,000 people brought by Dong Zhuo who were playing the trick of going around the city.

The generals suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Lu Bu took everyone around Luoyang City in the middle of the night.

No way? Did the lord have long guessed that Dong Zhuo would play this trick of "cyclic army increase"?

This matter is extremely scary to think about.
