Seeing that Lu Bu was so solemn, everyone looked at Lu Bu intently.

I saw Lu Bu smile and said: "Because there is a large amount of coal in Bingzhou, as long as we occupy Bingzhou, there will be no shortage of coal within a hundred years." ”

Rumble!

As soon as these words came out, the audience shook.

Yes, in China, the places where the most coal is stored are in Shanxi, Sichuan, Gansu and Inner Mongolia.

Gansu is still the border of the Xiongnu, and Inner Mongolia is naturally a Xianbei grassland.

For example, in Jiangsu, where Lu Bu is located, only Xuzhou, that is, Pengcheng, has coal. This information, Lu Bu is quite clear. So in the first place, Yagen didn't send anyone to look for coal elsewhere.

For example, Yangzhou, where Sun Quan is located, has almost no coal. There are a small number of them, not to mention digging with current technology, and they can't be detected.

Similarly, it is precisely because of the backwardness of science and technology that even coal mining in Pengcheng is currently being constrained.

Because the deeper the mine is dug, not only does the cost increase, but the more difficult it is to mine, and no matter how many people there are, it is useless.

Therefore, Lu Bu had to shift his target to Bingzhou.

As long as he occupies and annexes the state, he is not worried about running out of resources at all.

Because his thermal power plant is almost completed, once the power plant is started, it will have to consume a lot of coal every day.

Coal is needed for all kinds of smelting, steam engines, etc., and has now become an indispensable material.

It can be said that what is dug is money, money picked up for nothing.

It was precisely because of such a strategic plan that Lu Bu had previously agreed to exchange land with Cao Cao.

Because now his army can go north and merge with the state directly from Sizhou.

Otherwise, he doesn't know how many years it will take him to get to this point.

and Cao Cao, not to mention that he may not be able to win, even if he wins, it will be a miserable victory.

A war in which 1,000 enemies were injured and 800 self-losses was not the result that Lu Bu wanted.

In the same way, how could anyone in the room not know that coal is the most important pillar of the economy? Then, if it is as Lu Bu said, it is simply a treasure to merge a state.

Chen Deng took the lead and said: "If we can take the annexed state, it shouldn't be difficult to hold it." The follow-up materials can be transported from the Yellow River. ”

"Hmm!" Pang Tong also nodded and said: "With the Yellow River transportation, logistics and transportation can keep up." The king still has a lot of prestige in the state, as long as we secretly plot against some generals and families, I believe it will not be difficult to take the state. ”

"If you want to attack quickly, I don't know if the king has a plan?" Chen Gong then asked.

Lu Bu nodded: "This king has a general idea, just like Shiyuan said, send people to secretly go to Bingzhou to lobby various families and important generals. The so-called loyalty is not enough chips for betrayal. As long as we give enough benefits, I believe that it will not be difficult to rebel. Even if the strategy cannot be reversed, the future resistance will not be too strong. Second, the king decided to break with the norm and go to war in the winter. In this way, it can be done quickly, making it difficult for Cao Cao to react for a while. ”

"Winter Combat!" Pang Tong exclaimed, and the rest of the people also frowned.

You know, this is completely out of line with the rules of war.

I think the reason why Lu Bu was able to come back to life was because the battle in Xuzhou dragged on to winter. In addition, Cao Cao's grain and grass were destroyed, and he fell short.

But at the same time, everyone also reacted. It is precisely because it does not conform to the rules of war, then, winter operations, can achieve the miraculous effect of surprise attacks.

Pang Tong continued: "It's July now, and it's only about three months away from winter, how does the king plan to plan? ”

Lu Bu asked Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, how many woolen sweaters are I waiting for now?" ”

Chen Deng thought for a while: "Back to the king, the textile factory has produced a total of 100,000 sets. 20,000 in the officials, 50,000 in the sergeants, and 30,000 in the warehouse. Woolen sweaters are difficult to weave, so the production has not been high. ”

Lu Bu nodded, the craftsmanship was insufficient, and the pre-processing of the woolen sweater was too cumbersome and troublesome.

Lu Budao: "Send more people to the textile factory, and be sure to let our soldiers have more woolen sweaters before we go on the expedition." Since then, all woolen sweaters are not allowed to be used for civilian use, and all priority is given to lieutenant generals and soldiers. In this expedition, the king decided to bring 100,000 armor and break through the state as quickly as possible. Look, everybody! ……”

Lü Bu unfolded the map and began to explain his military route.

Yuan Lu Bu was a native of Bingzhou and was familiar with the terrain of Bingzhou. Memories are fused, and Lu Bu naturally knows the same.

With an army of 100,000, Lu Bu decided to divide his troops into two routes.

Attack all the way from Shangdang County, all the way from Xihe County to Taiyuan.

After taking Taiyuan, it can be regarded as destroying the political center of Bingzhou. Then he recovered the entire state and stationed all his troops in the important cities of the state.

In other words, most of the troops brought by this battle will stay directly in Bingzhou to prevent Cao Cao's counterattack.

It is necessary not only to guard against Cao Cao, but also against the Huns. Without more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, Lu Bu really had no confidence.

Because once the coal is exposed, it will definitely become the target of public criticism.

Looking at Lu Bu's current soldiers, 60,000 navy, 20,000 in South America, nearly 30,000 in Han himself, and the remaining 10,000 are new soldiers, these cannot be used at all.

The remaining military strength is only 100,000 elite soldiers.

It is impossible for all of these 100,000 elite soldiers to be taken away, not to mention other boundaries, at least Xuzhou has to be heavily defended.

In this way, Lu Bu could only use 50,000 elite soldiers, plus 50,000 reserve soldiers.

Lu Bu put forward a big strategy, and everyone then discussed the details.

It took most of the day to formulate a relatively successful plan.

Then, there are various preparations.

The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, which is the most reasonable.

However, it is not possible to use the Yellow River at present.

Once a large number of them were transported from the Yellow River, they would be explored by Cao Cao.

In this way, whether it is ordnance or food, it can only be secretly transported by land.

Then there is the deployment of troops, etc., although the expedition has not yet been made, but all kinds of preparations must be done in advance.

Others can't fight the Winter War, but Lu Bu can. Because he has a woolen sweater that others don't have, he can keep out the cold better.

What's more, with coal as fuel, heating is quite easy.

At the same time, South America.

Looking at the mountains of gold bars, Yang Hong's eyes lit up. In the face of such a huge amount of wealth, it is an individual who will give birth to endless greed.

His head was dizzy, and Yang Hong couldn't help but whisper: "General, this South America is full of gold. Now we have conquered half of South America, with 500,000 troops and millions of slaves. In this continent, the general is the emperor, so why not ascend the throne on his own. The subordinates will definitely support the general and achieve godless karma! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liao's eyes couldn't help but chill.

Zhang Liao slowly pulled out the fire system on his waist and pointed it at Yang Hong's head.

Yang Hong was instantly frightened, and his whole body was in a cold sweat.

Zhang Liao said coldly: "General Yang, do you know what is in the hands of General Ben?" ”

Yang Hong couldn't help but tremble and said, "Fire ...... Muskets! ”

"Then believe it or not, the king must have a more powerful weapon in his hands!"

"This!" Yang Hong was stunned, woke up in an instant, and hurriedly said: "It's the subordinates who are confused, and I hope the general is not strange!" ”
