Qingzhou Yanwutang recruited the children of hundreds of large families, which raised the consumption level of Jinan City at once.

Most of these rich children are still self-disciplined, they are all martial arts lovers, and some also have the level of third-rate military generals.

Lu Bu came a few times occasionally to demonstrate his martial arts, and the apprentices screamed in admiration.

As for the daily teaching, Lu Bu really doesn't come much, after all, he is too busy.

Dian Wei came over and gave them devil training, such as walking training, carrying dozens of pounds of things on their backs, and walking sixty miles a day.

Another example is to get up early and run ten miles of mountain roads.

Anyone who falls behind will be whipped by Dian Wei, and these rich people think that they have experienced how hard training they have experienced, but in fact this is the daily training of the infantry.

The main thing is to ride a horse, usually these people can ride a horse, but let the family lead, now come to Pegasus to ride and shoot, and all the thighs are worn out.

On this day, as soon as Lu Bu returned home, he met his eldest brother Mi Zhu, and Mi Zhu complained, saying that Yuan Shao had been black-hearted recently, and said that in addition to trading horses casually, now he actually increased taxes on cow dung stoves. Not to mention sickles and kitchen knives, it is directly a double tax.

Lu Bu was also speechless, he had been coaxing Yuan Shao and holding Yuan Shao for more than a year, and the transaction had been smooth, but now it seems that it is not easy to get it.

"Don't worry about Mi Zhan, Yuan Shao wants to cut off our connection with Gongsun Zhan, he is going to do something to Gongsun Zhan, isn't it time for us to eat both at this time?"

"What do you mean?"

"The caravan of the Mi family carried out large-scale trade with Gongsun Chan by sea, grain, grass, clothing, tents, farm tools, medicinal materials, etc., as long as Gongsun Chan had money and something to exchange, we would sell him something. As long as Gongsun Chan is not intimidated, the Youzhou army will not collapse, and they will have a fierce battle. At this time, other caravans in Qingzhou traded with Yuan Shao to buy horses from Jizhou and Jizhou. ”

Mi Zhu was overjoyed: "The lord has a good idea, depending on which side can't hold on, we can even support the weapons, so that they can fight a tug-of-war." ”

"Yes, that's what it means. Horses in Bingzhou and Jizhou are very expensive, but they can be purchased in small quantities, and donkeys can be bought, and donkeys can also give birth to mules. ”

In business, Mi Zhu is an expert, Lu Bu only needs to say the general direction, and Mi Zhu will start to arrange the caravan. There are large barges in Jinan County that can directly enter the sea, and the estuary is the harbor, and the sea ship cargo will go directly to the territory of Gongsun Zan in Youzhou.

The cargo volume of sea ships is much larger than that of horses, and compared with horse gangs, I don't know how much cost is saved.

It's just that Yuan Shao made Lu Bu very unhappy, so he came to assassinate the Yamen of Shifu in the evening and called Chen Gong over.

"Gongtai, do you calculate how many horses we have now, if we fight a medium-sized battle, will it be enough to consume?"

Chen Gong took out the account book and calculated: "Lord, there are as many as 30,000 horses transported in the first half of this year, of which 20,000 are mares, plus the previous 30,000 mares, how can more than 20,000 horses be bred in a year." Now we are not short of horses, as for ploughing horses and mules can develop slowly, don't be in a hurry. Seaborne horses may give birth to Yuan Shao's navy, and let Yuan Shao, who does not attach importance to the navy, develop a navy, which will produce vicious competition among the navy. ”

Lu Bu's brain made up for it, Yuan Shao developed a navy in Bohai County, and Gongsun Zan developed a navy in Liaodong. He developed a naval army in Donglai, Qingzhou, and Sun Ce developed a naval army in Yangzhou in the south, wouldn't he start a great voyage in the late Eastern Han Dynasty?

Lu Bu opened Yuan Shao's map and occupied Jizhou and Bingzhou, both of which were good horse producing areas, with a military force of more than 200,000.

"Gongtai, if we start a war to attack Yuan Shao in the fall, how do you feel?"

Chen Gong shook his head: "No, I don't feel that the lord will beat Yuan Shao." ”

"This general once said, although I am far away in Qingzhou, Yuan Shao has detained more than 1,000 of our war horses, is it not necessary to clean up the war?"

"It's a lack of cleanup, but Yuan Shao also knows that the lord has a bad temper, so he only detains the horse and doesn't hurt anyone. We took the northern part of Xuzhou, but Donghai County, Langya County, and Dongguan County were not included in the territory, which is an internal hidden danger. If you go outside, you must first settle inside, so the lord will not use troops against Yuan Shao. ”

Lu Bu nodded: "It's useless to have a hot head, calm down, what you said is right." Arrange for our caravan to trade with Yuan Shao, and state horses, Jizhou horses can also buy a small amount, mainly donkeys from Jizhou, and strive for three years to develop our agriculture in Qingzhou. ”

Chen Gong planned two kinds of granaries for the counties under his rule, one was the official warehouse, which was the warehouse for the government and the army to eat grain. The other is Yicang, which is stored in the harvest year and eaten in the disaster year.

In order to strengthen their resilience to natural disasters, counties are now required to fill up two warehouses, which are expected to be completed in two years.

Lü Bu also arranged for Li Su to send an envoy to Yuan Shao, demanding that he and Yuan Shao conduct large-scale and in-depth trade, and the two sides would open trade routes to each other.

Lu Bu prepared a golden horse for Yuan Shao, weighing more than 20 catties, a golden horse with eyes full of jewelry.

Chen Gong almost didn't laugh, Lu Bu was ruthless and wanted to kill Yuan Shao. Moreover, Li Su was holding a lot of gold bars, and with Li Su's style of acting, he would definitely bribe some of the strategists around Yuan Shao, and also change Jizhou's strategy against Qingzhou.

Chen Gong can't do this kind of thing, so it's most appropriate for Li Su to go.

"Although Xuzhou has been won, Xiao Jian of Langya County is an independent existence, Langya has a large area and a large population, and this Xiao Jian has more than 10,000 troops, what does the lord think?"

Xiao Jian and Zang Ba are similar, they are both local clans and have great influence. It's okay for the GI to drive over and destroy it, but it's definitely better to surrender.

Lu Bu thought for a moment: "The idea is that this Xiao Jian is not sensible, I originally intended to let him take the initiative to come, but he didn't want to come." There is an official road from Rencheng to Langya, which is in disrepair for a long time, and the carriage can't go. The Guan Hai Department and the Guan Cheng Department have never fought, they are all young and strong young men, and they can't rest without doing some work, so let Guan Hai and Guan Cheng lead the 20,000 troops to repair the official road, and repair all the way, Xiao Jian will understand. ”

"The lord's method is wise, don't use the sword to make Xiao Jian succumb, the autumn grain harvest in Qingzhou is a foregone conclusion, we have the capital."

Guan Hai and Guan Cheng 20,000 soldiers and horses, received the order, immediately marched, and the army was marched until Surabaya County in the east of Rencheng before stationing in the camp.

Guan Hai and Guan Chengyi discussed: "The work arranged by the lord is quite long, and there must be hundreds of miles of land, but there are many of us. The two of us take turns to be on guard, so as not to let the enemy touch us. ”

"Okay, the infantry builds the road, the cavalry patrols and guards, let's start, this work is done, it will take several months."

An army of 20,000 spread out along the road, and it was twenty miles at once.
