Chapter 56: The Five Sides Seek Lu

The news is that if you use paper money to buy products in Xuzhou. Regardless of any product, you will enjoy a 7% discount.

Seven-fold, what kind of concept is that, that is directly based on white can get thirty percent of the benefits.

Marx said that as long as there is a 10% profit, it will be used everywhere;

20%, it will be lively;

50% of the time, it will cause positive risk-taking;

100%, it will make people ignore all laws;

300% will make people not afraid of sin, or even the danger of hanging.

Therefore, now that Pingbai has a 30% profit, how can a group of merchants not pick it up.

Soon, Lu Bu exchanged paper money for a large number of gold, silver and copper coins.

As long as the bank has more money in store, the more money Lu Bu can use.

In other words, Lu Bu is the biggest borrower.

With enough money, he was able to make the biggest stride.

With the banking business on the right track, gradually, a group of businessmen were relieved and approved of paper money.

After all, in the past year, Lu Bu's business integrity has been absolutely sufficient.

Trust is built on the basis of sincere cooperation again and again.

In addition, Lü Bu ordered that all the salaries of officials, soldiers, and workers under his rule should be paid in paper money.

In this way, why not promote paper money.

Although most people still take paper money to the bank and exchange it for gold, silver and copper coins to use again, it has already made a good start.

Lu Bu believes that it will not be many years before paper money will be circulated throughout the country.

Soon, it was finally time for Lu Bu to go on the expedition.

When he went out to conquer the Wa Kingdom, Lu Bu naturally wanted to conquer in person.

Now the northern Yuan clan is still fighting happily, and Sun Quan also sent troops to Jiaozhou. Therefore, Lu Bu believes that Xuzhou will be impregnable.

Lü Bu only left 3,000 navies to guard the harbor, and the remaining 27,000 navies all went on the expedition.

12 large warships sailed at the same time, which was simply spectacular.

Yes, ten warships, and two specialized transport ships.

Regardless of the degree of discomfort, each transport ship can carry 10,000 people.

Hehe, it's to catch slaves, how can you think about whether the other party is uncomfortable or not.

With Lu Bu's expedition to the sea, Cao Cao got the news as soon as possible.

Cao Cao immediately convened the ministers to discuss the matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lu Bu has already gone to sea, if we take the opportunity to send troops, can we take Xuzhou?"

Everyone pondered, all kinds of calculations.

After a while, Guo Jia shook his head and said, "It's difficult. Although Lü Bu went on the expedition, he only brought 30,000 navies. Lü Bu still had 120,000 troops. Guangling garrison 20,000, Pengcheng 30,000, Xiapi 20,000, Dongguan 10,000, Lu 40,000. Moreover, the armies were only two or three hundred miles apart, and either side could be quickly supported if it was in danger. If you want to capture Xuzhou head-on, if you don't have a million troops, you have almost no chance of winning. ”

An army of millions?

It's bitter to think about, unless you add up the forces of all the candidates, where will there be a million troops.

Xun You also said in a timely manner: "The current Xuzhou is changing greatly every day, if it continues to develop, I am afraid that in less than ten years, Lu Bu will be able to dominate the world!" ”

"How's that for good?" Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

"Wait!" Guo Jia is in the right voice.

"Wait?" Cao Cao asked.

Guo Jia nodded: "Wait until Lu Bu goes out on the expedition, or when the soldiers and horses are separated." Now that Lu Bu has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered in a state, it is difficult to break through it. ”

"Hey!" Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh again, deeply feeling that Lu Bu's great enemy was difficult to deal with.

However, at this time, one person smiled and said: "Actually, it may not be, if you attack it together, you may have a chance of winning." ”

Cao Cao was instantly overjoyed: "Wenhe has a plan?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Join Yuan Shu, Yuan Tan, Liu Biao, and Sun Quan to jointly conquer Lu Bu." Even if Xuzhou can't be defeated in the end, it can greatly consume Lu Bu's strength and curb its development speed. ”

"Wen He will talk carefully!" Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked. Cao Cao admired this Jia Xu who beat him very painfully.

Jia Xu said: "Yuan Xi is self-reliant, and Yuan Shang is annoyed and sends troops to conquer Youzhou, wanting to get Youzhou war horses. In this way, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shu were able to send troops to Lu Bu. Yuan Shu hated Lu Bu to the bone, and he would definitely send troops. For Yuan Tan, the prime minister promised to take the position of a general and support him to succeed Yuan Shao, and he would definitely be able to send troops. ”

Jia Xu paused and said, "As for Liu Biao and Sun Quan, I believe these two also know Lu Bu's strength. If it is not eradicated as soon as possible, everyone will be prisoners in the future. Lu Bu's various products grabbed a lot of money for him, and in addition, he abolished the field tax and the poll tax, and greatly promoted the work. Today's Xuzhou, whether it is the treasury or the people, is very rich. As long as the prime minister agrees to the interests of each family, plus the five parties jointly negotiate Lu, I believe that the two families will definitely send troops. ”

Cao Cao listened to it and felt that this plan was feasible.

You must know that the combat strength of Lu Bu's army is more based on Lu Bu's belief in invincibility.

Now that Lu Bu is not there, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced by three points. In this way, the alliance of the five parties is really possible to capture Xuzhou.

Jia Xu continued to offer advice: "The lord can order Yuan Shu to send troops from Beihai, make a detour to attack the naval base in the East China Sea, and force Lu Bu to transfer troops from elsewhere to protect the naval base. As long as it is not a siege battle, the casualties of the two sides will not be too different. Yuan Tan was ordered to attack Lu, Sun Quan to attack Guangling, and Liu Biao marched to Linwei to Xiapi. And the lord went straight to Pengcheng, and the five sides attacked together. Then he tried his best to force Lu Bu's army to fight in the field. In this way, Xuzhou can be determined. ”

"Okay, that's a great idea!" Cao Cao shouted wonderful.

So, Cao Cao immediately sent envoys to unite all parties to send troops.

Moreover, Cao Cao can also give full play to his greatest advantage, the edict of the Son of Heaven.

Cao Cao also transferred Wu Hou to Sun Quan, and Liu Biao was even more ruthless and directly crowned the king.

Anyway, it didn't violate the ancestral teachings of Gaozu, so it didn't matter.

Yuan Tan inherited Yuan Shao's position as the general, and Yuan Shu also gave him the title of a hussar general.

At the same time, Cao Cao summoned people to write an article against Lü Bu, and he wanted to arrange various charges for Lü Bu.

At the same time, Lü Bu also arrived at the Wa Kingdom.

The location is the Changqi area of the island country in the future.

Of course, it was impossible for Lu Bu to immediately lead his troops to the battle, and the first step was to send scouts to find out the news. and built harbors and fortifications.

If you don't think about winning, think about defeat first. That's the first thing to do for the generals.

Of course, we must be even more cautious about this completely unfamiliar island country.

After all, Lu Bu didn't have a thermal weapon yet.

Except for bringing three hundred crude explosive packets, there was nothing.

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Cao Cao issued a letter to discuss Lu Xuan, and the world shook.

At the same time, Yuan Tan, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, and Sun Quan responded to the Quartet and marched against Lu Bu.

Yuan Tan claimed to avenge his father, Yuan Shu also wanted to avenge his brother, and Liu Biao and Sun Quan were rebelling against the Han family.

In short, there are all sorts of excuses and justifications.

After getting the news, how did Lu Bu Group not gather to discuss matters.

Chen Gong said: "The five parties have raised troops on a large scale, and now the situation is critical, and the lord must be invited back!" ”

"Not necessarily!" Pang Tong shook his head: "The lord has just gone on an expedition to the Wa Kingdom, and if it is recalled, it will definitely disrupt the lord's plan." ”

"But if the lord doesn't return, how can we keep Xuzhou?"

Pang Tong grinned: "It's just a group of local chickens and dogs, what's there to be afraid of!" ”

"This!" Chen Gong was stuck.

In the end, Chen Gong had no choice but to clench his fists and say: "The lord has an order before he walks, if there is a war, everything is based on Shiyuan." In that case, then ask Shi Yuan to take command! ”

Pang Tong nodded: "Pass my order, shut down all livelihood projects, and immediately organize the people to transport war resources." It is necessary to ensure that there are at least 100,000 arrows in each city, and more than one million arrows in each major city. Food, grass and ordnance must ensure that all the major cities are rich. In addition, all the people outside the city were moved into the city, which had to be mistaken. If the soldiers and horses in various places do not have a military order, they are not allowed to go out of the city to fight, and those who violate the order will be killed! ”
