My Three Kingdoms is a bit fierce

Lu Su frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "I'm afraid that we will consume more than one-third of our current reserves, and there is also food, which will also be a huge number!"

"So many!" Chen Chu couldn't help but be taken aback.

At this time, Lu Su said again: "If you let the Xianbei captives build the city, the funds will be reduced by half." However, the consumption of food will not be less! "

It's a good choice to use prisoners of war to repair the city. Chen Chu asked again: "How long will it take to repair the outer city wall?"

"It depends on the size of the city and the standard of the walls. If a city of 200,000 people is built, it will take at least three years to build the city wall according to the standard of merging the state city!

Chen Chu pondered: "The nomads lack siege equipment, and the city walls do not need to be built to the standard of merging the state, but only need to be built according to the standard of the general county town."

"If that's the case, then it's only going to take half a year."

Chen Chu's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "So fast!" By the way, how many Xianbei captives are needed for this? "

One hundred thousand."

Chen Chu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "We need these captive laborers in many ways, especially the avenue from Huguan to Yanzhou will consume 50,000 laborers, and we can only spare 50,000 laborers at most to build the city now!"

"If that's the case, then it's going to take a year."

Chen Chu nodded, "A year is not a long time. He

turned his head to Ma Chao and said: "After Meng arrived in the clouds, he led 30,000 cavalry to be stationed here, first set up a simple camp, and used it as a base to assist Budu and Suli to fight against Kebineng." As for the construction of the city, I will inform you separately. "

Yes." Ma Chao hugged his fists and promised.

"Zijing, you are responsible for the money, food, and labor you need." "Yes." Lu Su promised, and then asked, "Lord, should you give this city a name?"

Chen Chu thought for a moment and said, "This is the first step for us to control the grassland, let's call it Chucheng." "

Da Qiao usually comes to the General's Mansion, most of the time he talks and sings with Zhang Rui and Diao Chan, sometimes the two girls are not there, and it happens that Chen Chu is there again, Da Qiao will ask Chen Chu for poetry and songs, which makes Chen Chu extremely distressed, but fortunately, Chen Chu has read a lot of Tang poems and Song poems in his previous life, and he can also deal with Da Qiao, who needs to be excessive. Chen Chu's 'erudition and literary brilliance' deeply attracted Da Qiao, and unconsciously, the distance between the two became closer.

The four states under Chen Chu's control have calmed down on the surface, but in fact, they are running at a high speed inside.

In order to stabilize the situation in the newly occupied Yanzhou, grain and grass raised from the private sector are being transported to Yanzhou through Huguan.

Recruits from all over the country are gathering in the state, and these recruits will undergo three months of intensive training in the state before they are assigned to the various regiments.

The Xianbei prisoner camp near Huguan also made a big move, and the 100,000 Xianbei prisoners were divided into two groups, and the relevant grain was being prepared.

In just a few months, thousands of new villages were added and five million acres of arable land were added, but in a short period of time, Chen Chu could only pay outward, at least until the beginning of spring next year.

Caravans sent to the south were departing one after another, with the aim of buying as much food as possible.

The various ordnance workshops and civilian factories under the direct jurisdiction of the government were already operating at full capacity, and the armor produced was stored in the official warehouses, some of the civilian materials were stored in the warehouses, and most of them were trafficked to all parts of the country by caravans.

Chen Chu's subordinates are under high-speed construction, and he is accumulating the strength to unify the world. On the official road leading from Keiguan to Bingzhou, more than 100 horsemen were galloping. The leading general is majestic, and the most eye-catching thing is the three-foot long hair under his chin, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand. This person is none other than Guan Yu, the general of the Northern Expeditionary Army who has been sitting in Keiguan for all these years.

Guan Yu's heart was very excited at the moment, he had been stuffy in Jiguan in the past few years, watching other brothers fight on the battlefield and establish meritorious deeds, he felt extremely depressed, now it's okay, Chen Chu transferred him out of Jiguan, obviously planning to reuse him. In fact, Guan Yu also knew in his heart that Chen Chu had put him in Jiguan all these years, not to despise him, but to attach importance to him.

Guan Yu's war horse seemed to feel Guan Yu's mood, and his steps were extremely brisk. On October 14, Guan Yu finally arrived in Bingzhou, and it took only two days for Guan Yu to arrive in Bingzhou from Keiguan.

There were already people waiting for Guan Yu at the gate of the city, and Guan Yu went straight to the General's Mansion. Walking into the General's Mansion, Tie Wei guided him all the way, and Guan Yu came to the backyard study.

"Guan Yu meets the lord!" Guan Yuhong bowed down.

Chen Chu hurriedly went down to the hall to help Guan Yu up, and said with some emotion: "Yun Chang has been sitting in Jiguan all these years, it is really embarrassing for Yun Chang!"

After speaking, he took Guan Yu's thick arm and asked him to sit down beside him, although Guan Yu was proud, but the most important courtesy, where did he dare to sit on an equal footing with Chen Chu, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Guan Yu is different from the lord's humility, Guan Yu doesn't dare to make a mistake!"

Chen Chu smiled, patted Guan Yu's arm, and said, "Although you and I are monarchs and ministers, we are actually brothers. Then his eyes showed a look of memory, and he continued: "I think that during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, you and I met in Zhuo County, when Yun Chang led a lone army to defend the city, standing proudly in the face of thousands of troops and horses, what a heroic spirit it was!

Guan Yu couldn't help but show excitement, and hugged his fists at Chen Chu and said, "I can't imagine that the lord still remembers the past of the year?"

Chen Chu motioned for Guan Yu to sit down, and this time, Guan Yu did not refuse. Chen Chu smiled and said: "I will never forget these things, as well as the courage and loyalty of Yun Chang who followed me in the southern and northern wars!" "

My lord!" Guan Yu was quite moved in his heart.

Chen Chu poured a glass of wine for Guan Yu, and Guan Yu respectfully took it and drank it all.

Chen Chu smiled and said, "Yun Chang stayed in Jiguan, did he feel wronged?"

Guan Yu hugged his fist at Chen Chu and said, "I know that the lord values me, so he will arrange for me to sit in Guanzhong!"

Chen Chu showed a look of relief, nodded, and said: "In the past few years, the situation was tense, and I had to leave Yun Changtun's army in Jiguan to deal with the Quartet. Now the situation is different, our army has controlled the land of Sizhou, and the north is Xianbei, and has defeated the princes of the Central Plains several times, and Yun Chang can no longer have to Tunjun Jiguan!

Guan Yu showed excitement and bowed down on one knee and said, "Guan Yu respects the order of the lord!"

Chen Chu smiled, helped Guan Yu up, motioned for Guan Yu to sit down again, and then continued: "Our army will add two new legions, does Yun Chang know?"

Guan Yu nodded and said, "I have heard Zijing say it."

Chen Chu nodded, his gaze fixed on Guan Yu's face, and said, "I decided to let you train and command these two legions.

Guan Yu was first surprised, then overjoyed, overjoyed. Hurriedly bowed to Chen Chu and said, "Thank you, lord!" Yuding lives up to the trust of the lord! "

Giving Guan Yu the training and command of the two newly formed corps is not in line with the usual practice of the Northern Army. The usual practice of the Northern Army was that when the army was not in a state of war, it was trained and taught by officers directly subordinate to Chen Chu, and in a state of war, the control of the army would be handed over to the general. The purpose of this is to make the whole army loyal to only one person.

Chen Chu did so after careful consideration. First of all, the daily teaching of the 'gentlemen' has proven to be very effective in teaching the soldiers, and in addition, it is beneficial for the general to have the army under his command to stay with him at all times.

Letting Guan Yu train and command these two corps is just the beginning, Chen Chu intends to transform all the armies according to this in the future, and when this step is completed, the job of the training subordinates is to train and teach the troops, and compile the training syllabus, which will be used as an example and guidance material for the training of all armies in the future.

After talking to Guan Yu for a while, Chen Chu took Guan Yu to the stable in the backyard of the General's Mansion.

Chen Chu, as the commander of the Northern Army, of course the horses in his stable will not be ordinary goods. Guan Yu followed behind Chen Chu, looking at the horses in the stable, his eyes were very shining, similar to Zhang Rui when he saw something he liked. Hehe, it's no wonder, how can Guan Yu, as a military general, not like horses?

Coming to an independent stable, Guan Yu's eyes suddenly widened, and a look of amazement flashed. In front of Guan Yu was a dark and shiny divine horse, this divine horse was the purple lightning dust that Chen Chu had seized from Cao Cao's private horse farm.

Seeing Guan Yu's expression, Chen Chu couldn't help but smile slightly and asked, "How does Yun Chang look at this horse?"

Guan Yu nodded heavily and exclaimed: "It's really a one-in-a-million divine horse!"

Chen Chu looked at the proud Jiechen with a snort, and said lightly: "This horse's name is Jiechen, and it will be Yunchang's mount in the future!" "

The hundreds of thousands of soldiers gathered from all over the country were arranged by Zhou Yu to several large camps outside the city of Bingzhou. The 200,000 recruits who formed the Sixth and Seventh Army Corps were arranged in the North Battalion.

After Guan Yu left the General's Mansion, he soaked in the Beida Camp 24 hours a day, eating and living with the sergeants. Although Guan Yu loves soldiers like children and shares weal and woe with soldiers, he is very strict in daily training, and if a soldier is a pawn or violates military regulations, he will punish him mercilessly. The training subordinates sent 'Mr.' and instructors to assist Guan Yu in training the army.

The war in Yanzhou has long since calmed down, but the war in Xuzhou is still in full swing. The situation in Xuzhou is even more critical than before.

The main force of Xuzhou led by Liu Bei fought several battles with Yuan Shu's 200,000 army under the city of Xuzhou, and at this moment, Liu Bei's army, which had suffered heavy losses, had retreated to Pei County. There were less than 20,000 soldiers left in the city of Xuzhou, but fortunately, the city of Xuzhou was high and the river was wide, and it was difficult for Yuan Shu to capture Xuzhou for a while. Worried about the situation in Xuzhou, Tao Qian, who was already very old, is even older at the moment.

The dim lights were beating in the hall, and the strategists and generals were all standing under the hall with heavy faces, and Tao Qian on the main seat frowned, looking worried.

After being silent for a long time, Tao Qian suddenly said: "Yuan Shu has sent a messenger, you say, should I hand over Xuzhou to Yuan Shu?" Tao Qian seems to have been tempted.
