Chapter 159: Dingzhongyuan
During the month.
Lu Chen had already recruited 150,000 troops, and the previous army had all been put into the arrangement of conquest of Lu Bu, and now with 150,000 new troops, he was speeding up the training of them.
In order to fight against the Roman legions from the west.
The three generals Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, and Xu Huang all returned to the Shengle capital.
This time.
Lu Chen's idea was simple.
It is better not to have the Central Plains than to let Shengle fall into the hands of the Romans.
Of course.
In the Central Plains, Lu Chen will definitely not let go.
Then.
Tian Zhong hurriedly came to report: "Lord, there is an urgent report from the Central Plains, Li Long's army has been defeated, Yu Wenyuan is still dying, and General Xu's only 5,000 troops have returned to Yanzhou!" LΓΌ Buqin led an army of 30,000 in pursuit of General Xu. β
"Yan Rou has arrived?"
"Lord, General Yan should have arrived in Xuzhou, and now General Gongsun has entered Jiangdong, but we are still a little worried about the safety of General Xu and others, Lu Bunai is a fierce general in the world, and General Xu only has 5,000 men, which is ......"
Suddenly.
Lu Chen interrupted: "It's okay, Xu Rong has other generals to respond, as long as we capture Chen Gong and Zhou Yu, the Central Plains will be decided." β
Tian Zhong nodded.
I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't think of who would pick up Xu Rong.
"How is the Western armor made?"
Lu Chen asked.
Tian Zhong reacted at this time and replied: "Now the two manufacturing departments, the daily armament manufacturing is still increasing, on average, it can make 7,000 sets per day, but the iron ore supply is not able to catch up, now 700,000 miners are digging day and night, several mines have collapsed, and more than ten mines have been directly emptied, and now the iron ore transported is only enough for three days." β
Lu Chen's fists were clenched, and he suddenly said with some worries: "If you go to find the mine, if you don't have it, you will go to Jizhou to find it, and if Jizhou doesn't have it, you will go to Qingzhou and Yanzhou to find it!" This time we have to scrape together 200,000 sets of armaments! β
Tian Zhong saw the anxiety on Lu Chen's face and said, "Yes!" Be! Lord! β
Lu Chen said solemnly: "Try to arrange for the city's people to evacuate to Youzhou, this time our battlefield will be in the entire Shengle Capital, in order to avoid losses, we must not leave the city's citizens in Shengle's territory." β
Tian Zhong nodded.
He didn't know how to answer, when the news of this retreat was issued, the people of the city expressed their dissatisfaction, and now the people's morale in Shengle Capital is still declining.
Thankfully.
There have been no riots yet.
"My lord, will our enemy be so strong this time? Will it be stronger than Lu Bu's army? β
Lu Chen's heart was speechless.
The Roman legions are not a question of whether they are strong or not, but faith, just like the black armor army in the Great Qin period, they have their own beliefs, and the Roman legions, they are the same.
Their cohesion is like a steel rope, and the entire legion is like one, if there is any army in the Cold Weapon Era that can compare with him, then there is only the Black Armor Army of Great Qin.
But.
Where is the shadow of the Black Armor Army now?
Now that Confucian governance has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the belief in going to the battlefield to kill the enemy and live a good life has long been turned into a good life.
He stopped.
Said slowly: "After the Central Plains is pacified, you take the rich three rich and the four to collect Xuzhou and other places, Jiangdong to Yuwenyuan, we only need Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou and other places." β
Tian Zhong nodded.
Just when Li Long withdrew to Luoyang.
Bad news from the fall of Liangzhou hits.
The Iron Knight of the Western Regions invaded, the guard Han Sui died in Zhangye City, Liangzhou was full of blood, and millions of civilians were plundered, slaughtered, and enslaved.
Li Long ordered: "Order Ma Teng to lead the army to Chencang to defend, and the enemy army in the Western Regions must not be allowed to enter Chang'an!" We must quickly recruit troops and recover the lost territory in Liangzhou! β
Jia Xu and the others were also a little surprised.
"Why are the enemies of the Western Regions so fast?"
Li Long shook his head.
Three days ago.
Su Xiaochen sent a herald to tell him that the Western Regions might send a large army to attack Liangzhou in the near future, and instructed him to immediately sit in Chang'an after defeating Lu Bu again to prevent the enemy army from the Western Regions from invading the Central Plains.
But I didn't think of it.
The other side will be so fast.
It was so fast that Li Long was completely unprepared to defend against the enemy.
The news of Han Sui's death made Li Long also realize that the army coming from the opposite side should also be a Western general, that is, a general who didn't know what the other party looked like.
At this time.
"Report! Jiangdong Sun Quan was intercepted and captured by Gongsun Du in the Yangtze River, and now Jiangdong has been occupied by Yuwenyuan! β
A herald outside reports.
"Koto has been pacified? What about Xuzhou? β
The herald replied: "Xuzhou is also lost!" Chen Gong and Zhang Liao were captured! Now all that's left is Lu Bu, the county town of Chenliu!"
"Lu Bu is trapped in the city! How can it be? β
Li Long said with a look of disbelief.
Even Jia Xu was surprised.
"Could it be that Lu Chen arranged a three-way army?"
At this time, the herald said: "I heard that it was a mysterious army that defeated Lu Bu's army of 30,000, and now, Xu Rong is starting to re-recruit the army in various places, it seems that Sheng Ledu is resisting the army from the Western Regions!" β
Hear the herald's words.
Li Long muttered, "Has it already started?" β
Suddenly.
Jia Xu reminded: "My lord, it seems that the enemy army in the Western Regions is not as simple as imagined, we still recruit soldiers as soon as possible to prevent them from invading Chang'an City!" β
And Yuwenyuan in Jiangdong, looking at the three new-style building ships sent by Gongsun Du, was full of joy, with the new building ships, it was no longer a passive defense in the face of the Japanese at sea.
The entire building is made of giant wood, which is taken from the forests east of Shengle, where there are large and sturdy trees.
It is used in the manufacture of giant building ships.
The new building ship is three times the size of the Jiangdong building ship, and his power is made of sails and wheel pulp, which can be accelerated by sails and wheel slurry along the water, and can be driven forward by artificial wheel pulp against the water.
The wheel paddle is based on modern blade propulsion, but it is only manual to start, but it is more labor-intensive and easier to control than paddling.
Now Lu Chen is also ordering people to develop steam power.
Although I don't know if it will be successful.
But Lu Chen always likes fantasy, and every fantasy can be realized later.
Except for pills.
The refining of the green pill is still being consumed, and now he has to let Lu Chen go to the medicine department, and he will give up directly, Yu Wenyuan naturally doesn't know what Lu Chen is messing with.
But at the same time that he got the boat, he was also faced with a large amount of money.
A building ship costs 400 million real currency, and three ships cost 1200 million.
Fortunately.
Yu Wenyuan still has some money, plus the money for the previous armaments, he directly transferred 16.9 billion to Lu Chen's real account, but Lu Chen's side has no waves about the 16.9 billion money.
Now his spending has been calculated with hundreds of billions.
He had basically spent all the money he had spent on arms sales, and he was still in a state of negative spending.
"Loser!"
