Lu Bu sighed, the years are difficult, and it is not easy to do anything.

As a military general, it stands to reason that he relies on martial arts, but he didn't expect to rely on his handsomeness. 、

"Well, one sheep is herded, and two sheep are also herded. You go to the house of these two people to discuss, Cao Bao's daughter, the fourth lady, Mi Zhu's sister and the fifth lady, if they agree, then the matter will be settled.

Li Su went to make arrangements, and Lu Bu was busy marrying his daughter-in-law, but no important things were left behind.

Lü Bu personally led his army to Pengcheng, dozens of miles west of Xuzhou City, where there was a long Weishan Lake between Pengcheng and Rencheng.

The 3,000 sailors from Rencheng are under the leadership of Gao Shun to build a navy camp by the lake in Pengcheng, and according to the plan, the 3,000 sailors have two camps, Pengcheng and Rencheng. In the absence of a major war, it shoulders the transportation of military rations, official rations, and important strategic materials.

In the setting sun, the rammed earth of Pengcheng looks very quaint, and the blood on the walls indicates that there was a war here.

A month ago, Cao Cao avenged his father and sent troops to Xuzhou, and the first stop was Pengcheng.

The 3,000 defenders of Pengcheng were all wiped out, and there were traces everywhere in the city.

The 40,000 people in the city were brutally murdered, more than 3,000 were killed or wounded, and almost every household was robbed.

Now the main force of the maintenance of the official road is the strong man of Pengcheng,

Just after the war, the people were terrified, and Lu Bu's army set up camp in the west of Pengcheng, adding a sense of security to the people of Pengcheng.

The army trains every day, and occasionally comes out to repair the official road.

In the afternoon of this day, Lu Bu, Dian Wei, and Wu Anguo came to the city wall of Pengcheng together. The rammed earth city wall is very narrow on the wall, and the damage is also relatively serious.

"General Wu, I know that you are not only brave, but also capable of taking charge on your own. Pengcheng is the gateway of Xuzhou, the north is countless iron mountains, the east is the vast Weishan Lake, keep Pengcheng Xuzhou worry-free, Pengcheng will be handed over to you? ”

Wu Anguo was a little excited: "It is the honor of the last general to be trusted by the lord." ”

"Okay, then tell me, how should Pengcheng be guarded?"

"Pengcheng is a small area, if my 5,000 infantry are transferred, plus the strong men in the city, even if you encounter several times the Cao army, you can hold out for half a month. First of all, the city defense should be strengthened, the armament should be maintained, and more strong bows and crossbows should be arranged on the city walls, and it would be great if giant crossbows could be arranged. However, all defense is passive, and it is important to have a strong, invincible army, and it is difficult for the army and the people to be united and not to win the war. ”

Lu Bu laughed: "General Wu is so right, training a strong army, the army and the people are united, and the battle is invincible." Pengcheng will be handed over to you, with 500 cavalry and 5,000 infantry in your headquarters. You are allowed to reclaim 20,000 acres of land outside the city, and you will be self-sufficient. ”

"Yes."

Wu Anguo has been in the army for many years and has little experience in politics, so he is only responsible for the military, and the civil and military are separated.

And this Pengcheng County Shou is a very famous figure, Sun Qian.

It didn't take long for the 5,000 infantry of the Wu'an National Department to arrive, and the time to show their strength had arrived.

Since the strong men in the city were building the official road to Rencheng in Xuzhou, the task of repairing the city wall was handed over to Wu Anguo's team.

Some people in the army will build brick kilns, which are rich in coal resources, so the cost of firing green bricks is very low.

The craftsmen built ten brick kilns in one go, made of wooden molds to make green brick clay embryos, and improved molds to make four green brick blanks at once.

The trolley shuttles back and forth, and the production efficiency is twice as high as before.

The fired big green bricks are sonorous and powerful, just this time, the ten caves are 50,000 pieces, and this output is no one.

The improved brick firing process is much faster than the original, and it has been optimized from production, transportation, to kiln caves.

Wu Anguo came to Lu Bu: "Lord, the last general plans to repair the city wall." The ordnance battalion was used to provide molds, trolleys and other new processes to produce green bricks, and the output was much higher, and I think the rammed earth city wall can be changed to a blue brick and cement city wall. ”

"The general's idea is very good, but it costs a lot of money, food and time to build a city, and this matter has to be discussed with Sun Qian, the county guard of Pengcheng, so you can wait a while."

Wu Anguo also understood that the civil and military were separated, and the two were at the same level, and they needed to discuss things when they encountered them.

After a while, Sun Qian came, this is a middle-aged literati, more than ten years older than Wu Anguo.

Lu Bu was very polite: "Sun Taishou, General Wu repaired the city wall and built ten brick kilns, the output of green bricks is very high, I want to build a city wall of green bricks, I don't know what you mean." ”

Sun Qian touched his mustache and took a sheepskin map of Pengcheng, which was very simple.

"My lord, General Wu. Pengcheng's current size is the size of a small county town, and the city's population is now only about 40,000. If it is developed, it will definitely not be able to live, but for the time being, the manpower cannot keep up, and the maintenance of the city wall can barely be done, and it is not yet time to build a new one. If it is to be built, I propose to build on the existing walls and expand the city by a mile, so that the whole city can live with a population of 100,000 people, and the construction will start as early as after the autumn harvest, and it will be nice to complete it in three years. ”

Wu Anguo thought for a moment: "It's okay, so that you can use the burned green bricks to build schools, factories, barracks, and so on." ”

"General Wu rest assured, there are also brick factories in the city, and the output will be higher after improving the equipment."

There are a lot of iron mines around Pengcheng, but the people nearby have not mined much, and Lu Bu has not made a noise, because the mine output in Laiwu County is enough, and when the output is not enough, let's develop the iron ore in Pengcheng.
