It's August, and it's harvest season.

Jiangdong, Nanjing County.

Lu An is sitting in the main hall of the governor's mansion, concentrating on reviewing government affairs, because he will go on an expedition in a few days, these days, he has been busy explaining and handling government affairs, and he has little spare time.

"Lord, great joy, great joy!" At this time, Chen Gong hurriedly ran in from the outside, and said with a happy face.

"Oh?" Lu An raised his head and asked with a faint smile, "But Huang Zhong has already driven Cao Ren away?" Took Xuzhou? ”

"Huh!" Chen Gong looked surprised: "The lord already knew?" ”

"No, I guessed." Lu An shook his head and smiled.

Huang Zhong took Xuzhou, he knew it more than ten days ago, of course, the real reason is not by guess, but by the system.

When he completed the main quest four, the main quest five issued by the system to him was to become the most powerful prince in the world, this task Lu An always felt that it was possible to complete it only after he defeated Cao Cao, but he didn't expect that some time ago, the system suddenly prompted that he had occupied Xuzhou and owned the land of four states, and the main quest five was completed.

This made Lu An feel happy at the same time, but he couldn't help but wonder a little, even if he took Xuzhou, it shouldn't be the most powerful, after all, Cao Cao had defeated Yuan Shao, and his strength was not worse than him at all, but after thinking about it, Lu An understood what was going on.

His mission this time is completely a loophole, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao Yes, but Yuan Shao is still lingering, Cao Cao has not been able to occupy Yuan Shao's territory, or only the land of four states (Yu, Yan, Si, Xu), and now he has taken away Xuzhou, which means that the territory is not as good as him, so calculated, Yuan Shao was defeated, Cao Cao's Xuzhou was attacked by him again, can he be regarded as the most powerful prince in the world?

As soon as he thought of this, Lu An couldn't help but have a slight smile on his face, this time there was no hole in vain, although there was still not much difference between him and Cao Cao in terms of military strength, but he himself once again underwent an amazing transformation under the reward of the system, this kind of transformation not only gave him the capital to look down on the world in terms of force, but more importantly, his ability to command the army was also completely completed, because the system rewarded him with a very great prop, and with this prop, let alone Cao Cao, Even if it is the rebirth of the overlord of Western Chu, Lu An has the confidence to fight with the opposing army, after all, for a commander of the three armies, completing the inheritance of that one is no less effective than a super-first-class military general getting an artifact.

"The lord is really a genius!" Where would Chen Gong know the miscellaneous thoughts in Lu An's mind, and at this time, he was amazed by Lu An's unpredictable prophet.

"What a clever calculation, it's just a little premonition!" Seeing Chen Gong's admiring look, Lu An couldn't help but feel a little funny, not to mention that he learned the news from the system, even if the system didn't prompt him, he wouldn't be surprised that Huang Zhong and Jia Xu could take Xuzhou, after all, Huang Zhong's courage and Jia Xu's strategy could not be dealt with by Cao Ren.

"The lord's hunch is so accurate, it is a clever calculation!" Chen Gong also smiled slightly, and took out a secret letter from his sleeve: "This is a document sent by Mr. Jia Xu, it is said that this time you can easily take Xuzhou, the Donghai Mi family has helped a lot in it, and please take a look at it!" ”

"Hmm!" Lu An's expression remained unchanged, he took the letter and read it, and then said with a slight smile: "It seems that my eldest brother is really good to me, and he is willing to risk his life to personally lead the private soldiers to attack the city gate of Xiapi!" ”

Chen Gong didn't speak, almost half of this kind of thing was Lu An's family matter, so he naturally didn't want to interject.

"Gongtai, you go and write a letter to Xuzhou for me!" Putting the secret letter on the table casually, Lu An spoke: "Let Huang Zhong and Jia Xu not have to be greedy if they don't have a vacancy, just guard Xuzhou for the time being, and send a message to my eldest brother Mi Zhu, asking him if he is willing to come to Jiangdong to work, or if they are willing to move all the family property over, I will not treat them badly!" ”

Although Cao Cao has not returned to the army at this time, the Central Plains is still blank except for Cao Ren's 30,000 troops, but after all, Huang Zhong and Jia Xu do not have many troops, and Lu An no longer expects them to attack other states and counties, otherwise even if they are captured, there are not enough troops to control it, it is better not to, as for Mi Zhu, the so-called retribution is Li Tou Zhi with peaches, Mi Zhu has helped him a lot for so many years, and he sent money and food and war horses, and even his sister was sent over, and this time he was able to take the risk to help him sneak attack Xiapi, Lu An always said that it is not necessary to let the family's investment get a return.

"Yes!" Chen Gong arched his hand and slowly retreated.

"Xuzhou is lost, presumably Cao Cao also knows, this time he must be in a hurry, it just so happens that the cavalry combat strength that has been trained by Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao has risen, should you send the cavalry out first to the north to scare Cao Cao and force him to return to the army immediately?" After Chen Gong left, except for the guards guarding the door, Lu An was left alone in the main hall, his eyes closed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he ordered the guards outside the door: "Let Sun Shao come and see me!" ”

"Lord, you called me?" After a while, Sun Shao hurried over and saluted.

"How's the food, grass and ordnance ready?" Lu An asked directly.

"It's about the same, but because the lord wants to pour the country's troops this time, it will cost a lot, and it will take ten days to completely reserve it!" Sun Shao said respectfully. In this society with extremely low productivity, the grain and grass consumed and calculated to fight a war of hundreds of thousands of people is definitely a huge challenge to the ability of political officials, but fortunately, Jiangdong still has no shortage of talents in this regard, Er Zhang and Sun Shao are both outstanding political talents, and they are quite competent in handling these things, but the necessary preparation time for grain and grass is also unavoidable.

"I will prepare the grain and grass for 20,000 people to eat for half a year in three days, and I will be of great use!" Lu An nodded and commanded again.

"My subordinates know!" Sun Shao's face was surprised, but he didn't say anything, he just gave up, as a political official, what he has to care about is the people's livelihood and material reserves in Jiangdong, as for military affairs, he doesn't understand very well, and he can't ask if Lu An doesn't say it, otherwise it will be a little out of bounds.

"Go ahead, three days is a deadline, but try to be as fast as possible!" Lu An waved his hand and asked Sun Shao to retreat.
