Two days later, there were several more people in the Pengcheng Taishou Mansion Council Hall than before.

Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng and Wei Yue.

If according to Lu Bu's original plan to storm Peicheng, then Wei Xu and Song Xian, who stayed in Xiapi, should be present.

After getting the way to break the situation from Lin Mo, he didn't make a rash decision, but first asked Chen Gong if he had any countermeasures.

The answer is no.

This made Lu Bu firm up his son-in-law's idea and let it go.

"Liu Bei is ungrateful, secretly communicating with Cao Cao to plot Xuzhou, I have made up my mind, wave Peicheng, and personally cut off the head of the big-eared thief!"

"Please use Wen Hou's troops!"

Regarding this decision, except for Chen Gong's eyebrows, everyone present was not surprised, and Chen Deng's heart was even secretly happy.

"Wenyuan, Peping!"

"The last general!"

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun came out of the ranks.

"Let the two of you lead the cavalry camp and trap the camp as the vanguard, set off at the tenth day of the first month, and go to the outside of Peicheng to camp and set up camp first, and I will lead the army to follow."

"Whoa!"

"Zichu, Fangzheng!"

"The last general!"

Hao Meng and Cheng Lian stood up.

"I'll send 4,000 sergeants to you and stay in Pengcheng!"

"Whoa!"

After everything was arranged, Lu Bu waved his hand, and everyone in the hall retreated.

Chen Gong didn't leave, and Chen Deng, who was originally going to leave, also chose to stay when he saw this.

"Wenhou, although Peicheng is not a strong city, it will take at least half a month to attack, why should the army wait for five days to start? If Cao Cao intervenes..."

Faced with Chen Gong's question, Lu Bu didn't care much, "The grain and grass in Pengcheng are not enough to support the army for a long time, two days ago, I asked Wen Yuan to send a fast horse to inform Wei Xu, and asked him to transfer grain and grass from Xiapi to come here." ”

Xuzhou's money, grain, taxes, soldiers, horses, and equipment, no one knows better than Chen Gong, who is the governor of Xuzhou.

He knew very well that there were still 30,000 stone of grain in Pengcheng, which was enough for a large army to support a month.

Without waiting for him to continue speaking, Chen Deng took the first step and said: "That's fine, it will take me a few days to raise grain and grass." ”

"It's hard work."

Lu Bu nodded, waved his hand and said, "If there is nothing else, let's step back first." ”

"Whoa."

Chen Gong Chen Deng glanced at each other and left.

Looking at Chen Deng's back, Lu Bu's eyes flashed with fierceness, it seemed that he really had a problem.

In terms of playing with brain melon seeds, Lu Bu may not be as good as Chen Deng's fingers.

When it comes to marching and fighting, Lu Bu, who has many years of experience, can tell all the details.

As long as the grain is enough for the front line to support for ten days, there will be no problems in the follow-up, and his attitude just now is obviously that he wants to wait a few more days.

This situation made Lu Bu both happy and angry, and he was happy that everything was as Lin Mo said, and it was exactly the same; What was angry was that he felt that he was already a corporal of courtesy to Chen Deng, but he still couldn't accept his heart after all.

......

"Whom."

I heard a knock on the door, and when I opened it, I saw an elegant man in his early twenties.

"In Xialu Su Lu Zijing, I'm looking for Lin Yunwen."

Lu Su's appearance is not handsome, but he has a sense of closeness when he laughs.

"It turned out to be Brother Zijing, and it was Lin Mo below, I have heard for a long time that Brother Zijing is sloppy and righteous, and he is arrogant, please come in quickly."

Here in Xuzhou, Lu Su is indeed somewhat famous, so he didn't think that Lin Mo was killing, so he naturally followed him into the inner hall.

After serving tea, Lu Su got straight to the point, "Ling Yue and my father are familiar with each other, you and I don't have to see each other, if you need my help, just ask." ”

"Does the Lu family have an iron shop?"

"Yes."

"I want to borrow your iron shop to make some ironware." Lin Mo didn't hide it.

"It's as simple as that?"

Lu Su looked at Lin Mo in surprise, there were also a lot of blacksmith shops opened by the people in Pengcheng, and he didn't understand why he was looking for himself for this kind of thing.

"Yes, it's that simple."

After getting a positive answer, Lu Su nodded and said, "Then Yunwen will go home with me." ”

After two sips of tea, the two got up and went out.

In fact, Lin Mo has rarely gone out since the crossing, except for some daily purchases of food and supplies, he has hardly left home.

After passing through the street where the usual shopping is carried out, the flow of people is becoming more and more dense, and there are more shops around, and even the merchants walking on the street are more than Pingfu Street.

Since the founding of Emperor Gaozu, Pengcheng has been used as the seat of the six counties of Xuzhou, and it has gone through hundreds of years to this day, and the prosperity is not inferior to any city.

In the bustling street market, Lin Mo seemed to have a sense of belonging.

However, as the flow of people becomes more and more dense, more and more people appear.

They were dressed in tatters, leaning against the edge of the alley in pairs, with bowls full of gaps in front of them, and they made gestures symbolizing begging, with pleading written on their faces.

"Since Cao Cao slaughtered the land of the three counties, there have been more displaced people in Pengcheng."

Finding that Lin Mo's gaze was constantly scanning these homeless people, he took the initiative to explain, "Actually, they are lucky, and they didn't die under Cao Jun's butcher's knife." ”

Lin Mo suddenly stopped, looking at an old man holding his skinny hand with difficulty, and there was a four or five-year-old child beside him sobbing and shouting hungry.

He sighed and took out a string of five baht coins from his bosom and put it in their bowl.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much..."

Lin Mo didn't stop, but Lu Su couldn't help but look at him more, and he didn't expect that Lu Bu, who had countless souls under his hands, would find a son-in-law with a great heart.

"It's too much, you can't help so many people."

"There are some things that I can't turn a blind eye to."

The desire to survive in the child's eyes stung him.

Of course, Lin Mo could not help all the displaced people, in fact, most of these displaced people on the street were old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were almost all pulled back to become serfs by the wealthy and powerful.

The land they annexed needed people to cultivate, and the displaced people who escaped also needed a chance to live, so this oppressive survival mode emerged.

Both sides seem to be happy to see that happen.

"Yunwen, there's one thing I don't quite understand, if you really just want to make some iron tools, you can find places everywhere on the street, why did you find me."

What happened just now made Lu Su have some interest in Lin Mo, who was a few years younger than him.

"Young chivalrous, make friends with Wuduxiong."

Lin Mo pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Is this reason enough?" ”

Young chivalry, befriending Wudu Xiong... Lu Su muttered a few words, and then unconsciously laughed along.

Literati and artists are the most important, and it is a matter of pride to be befriended.

He had a bad impression of Lu Bu, but because of the other party's occupation of Xuzhou's identity, he reluctantly came to find Lin Mo.

After getting along for a short time, Lu Su found that Lin Mo was warm-hearted and quite literate, which was completely different from Lu Bu, who only knew how to stab his father-in-law with Fang Tian's halberd.

Maybe it's because of this, so Lu Bu wants me to hide his identity?

Soon, the two arrived at Lu's house.

Before he came, Lin Mo had imagined that the Lu family's mansion should be very large, but the scale of it still made him speechless.

The Lu family has more than 3,000 serfs and 800 soldiers, and there are not only mountains of granaries in the house, but also armories and iron-smelting houses, and the most shocking thing for Lin Mo is that there are more than 30 war horses.

Damn, the family is a big dog!

It is no wonder that during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the government was burned, but it was rare to hear of any damage to the family.

"Yunwen, just tell him the iron tools you want to build."

Coming to the iron-smelting room, Lu Su pointed to a rugged man with a shirtless body and said.

After Lin Mo took out the design drawings of the horseshoe, the man twisted his head and looked up and down, not figuring out what it was.

"You don't need to know what it is, just do it."

With Lu Su's approval, the man didn't say much, and after taking the drawings, he began to think about how to start.

Lin Mo didn't leave immediately, and followed Lu Su to the garden in the backyard to drink tea.

"Yunwen, what exactly is the thing you want to build, I have never seen it." Pushing the boiled tea in front of Lin Mo, Lu Su asked with interest.

"I just saw that there are dozens of war horses in the stables in your house, do you know how long these war horses can usually be ridden?"

Lu Su was a little surprised, didn't I ask you, why did you still take the exam for me.
