Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

"Based on Wen He's opinion, how many troops and horses from the princes can be gathered by then?" Lu Bu asked.

Jia Xu was silent for a long time and said slowly: "According to the information obtained by my subordinates, the number of soldiers and horses gathered by the princes can reach 200,000. This is under the condition of sending troops to Jiangdong."

Everyone in the arena took a breath after hearing this. Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, just imagining it, makes people feel terrible.

"No matter how many soldiers and horses the princes have, they cannot be allowed to step into Hu Pass." Lu Bu said loudly.

Gu Yong and Li Su were also in a heavy mood. They did not expect that Bingzhou would attract siege from the princes. Lu Bu had just defeated the Xianbei and Chang'an rebels, and he was a hero of the Han Dynasty. Could the Han Dynasty have really reached this point? They were afraid

The princes from all over the country have reached this level. Before they knew it, Gu Yong and Jia Xu no longer had their initial enthusiasm for the Han Dynasty, and all they had was hatred.

The longer they stay in Bingzhou, the more they can feel the vitality bursting out from all over Bingzhou. In Bingzhou, they can display their talents without reservation, without having to worry about the superiors being afraid.

"Send orders to Mi Zhu and Mi Fang to come and see me." Lu Bu ordered immediately after Gu Yong and Li Su left.

The Jinyang Chamber of Commerce that Mi Zhu is responsible for now has a great influence in the Han Dynasty. All merchants or aristocratic families from all over the country are respectful to the Mi family of Bingzhou. There is no way, Bingzhou controls the things that are in short supply, whether they are aristocratic families or

Businessmen will never refuse benefits.

Mi Zhu also got bad news about Bingzhou from merchants from various places in recent times. Merchants are sometimes very well-informed in terms of news. Since the princes began to secretly unite, the number of merchants going to Bingzhou has significantly decreased.

"Zizhong, maybe you have got some news. The current situation is extremely unfavorable for Bingzhou. It can be said that Bingzhou has reached the point of life and death. If Bingzhou is lost, do you think Youzhou and the newly acquired Chang'an can be defended?"

Lu Bu's words made Mi Zhu and Mi Fang look at each other. They knew that the situation was not good for Bingzhou, but they did not expect it to reach this point.

"My lord, as long as you have orders, my subordinates will not hesitate to die." Mi Zhu said with cupped hands.

"Zizhong, you and I are one family. Don't tell others what I said today." Lu Bu said: "The princes wanted to join forces to attack Bingzhou. Fortunately, Bingzhou's army did not have too many attacks after they attacked Chang'an.

Big loss, but the strength of the princes is not what it used to be. What I want you to do is to hold a chamber of commerce again. It is best to gather the merchants from the territories governed by the princes and do your best to hoard food and grass for Bingzhou."

"Here." Mi Zhu cupped his hands and felt the great responsibility at the same time. If the princes conquered Bingzhou, the Mi family would become a passing thing. Since entering Bingzhou, the Mi family has been closely united with Lu Bu. It can be said that

One loss leads to another loss, and the Mi family has paid a lot for Bingzhou. He cannot tolerate the current situation of Bingzhou being destroyed.

"A soldier needs three stones of food and grass in a month, and a war horse needs six stones. A hundred thousand troops plus war horses need at least four hundred thousand stones of food and grass in a month. I want you to stock up on Bingzhou at least before the princes attack Bingzhou.

Three million stones of grain and grass." Lu Bu said.

"Here." Mi Zhu cupped his hands and said, "I will do my best."

"It's not that we try our best, but that we must do it. I don't want the soldiers in the army to starve to death because there is no food and grass." Lu Bu said: "It is best to get these food and grass from the princes."

Once a war breaks out with the allied forces of the princes, the war is likely to be protracted. The princes will definitely be extremely strict in controlling food and grass. It will be very difficult to obtain food and grass from the families under the princes when the war starts.

thing.

Mi Zhu cupped her hands and said yes.

"Zifang, you have been in charge of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency in recent years, and you have worked hard." Lu Bu turned to Mi Fang.

Mi Fang said in a somewhat excited tone: "My lord, for the sake of merging the state, I am willing to go through fire and water despite my humble position."

Historically, Mi Fang once betrayed the Shu Kingdom, but Lu Bu trusted Mi Fang very much. He believed that Mi Fang would not have any dissent after seeing how powerful Bingzhou was. The reason why he betrayed Shu was because he had no choice but to do so.

"The Zhenyuan Escort Agency can be stopped when the Chamber of Commerce in Jinyang ends. There is no need to send the soldiers of the Escort Agency to various places. Zifang will then be responsible for training these soldiers and leaving them for other uses." Lu Bu said.

"Here." Mi Fang felt her blood rising. He was a military general, and he longed for the battlefield. Even during the years he was in charge of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, he had not lost his martial arts skills. Now the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has eight thousand guards.

People, compared to the Bingzhou Army, the strength of these guards is not weak at all. They travel everywhere all the year round. They have experienced many battles. With a little training, they can become a powerful army. Lu Bu needs more than just these guards turning into soldiers.

, but let Mi Fang be responsible for training an army that can fight against the cavalry.

"After you two go back, be careful not to leak the news." Lu Bu said.

After the two of them said goodbye and left, Lu Bu looked at the topographic map in the study and fell into deep thought. It is undeniable that the Bingzhou Army has expanded very quickly in recent years. From the beginning, it only had Bingzhou to now own Youzhou, Hanoi, Hedong, Chang'an, etc.

The hardships in the land are not known to outsiders, and Lu Bu participated in most of the battles.

"Anyone who wants to destroy me should be killed!" Lu Bu said as he slapped the table and stood up.

It was already late at night when they returned to the Hou Mansion, but the girls had no rest. During the day, they got the news that Lu Bu had returned to Jinyang. However, after Lu Bu entered the city, he stayed in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion.

The five women are all thoughtful people, and they understand that something big must have happened in Bingzhou.

Lu Bu was slightly startled when he walked into the mansion, but saw that wine and food had been prepared in the mansion.

"Husband." When the five of them saw Lu Bu coming in, they hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Madams, please get up quickly. My husband has something to do and I was delayed in the governor's mansion. I didn't expect that the five ladies are waiting for me. Okay." Lu Bu laughed and said. When he returned to the Hou Mansion, the smell of home hit his face.

, and also made him gradually relax after a busy day.

The banquet was quite lively, and Lu Bu often told some stories about what he had seen along the way, making the girls laugh.

Lying on the bed, feeling the tenderness of Yan Lan in his arms, Lu Bu could not fall asleep, and his thoughts inevitably returned to the situation in Bingzhou.

In fact, what makes Lu Bu most uneasy is that Sun Ce was actually involved in this matter. Although Jia Xu's analysis is very reasonable. After occupying Chang'an and taking the next step of merging the state army to capture Yizhou, he can directly threaten Jiangdong. However, Lu Bu still has some difficulty.

Relieve.
