Lu Bu nodded slightly and said, "This amount is indeed unexpected."

"The 60 pieces of fairy jade are worth [-] million yuan, of which [-] million yuan are all materials." Mi Zhu said.

"Well, we can't slacken our efforts to buy rice grains. We should try our best to stock up as much rice grains as possible," Lu Bu said.

"This subordinate takes orders." Mi Zhu cupped his hands.

This time the Mi family made a move, so that the prefectural pastoral mansion gathered a lot of money, and although the Mi family handled this matter, they did not take any money. This is the investment of the Mi family in Lu Bu. If the Mi family follows the previous agreement Well, if a piece of fairy jade was taken away for fifty dollars, Lu Bu would definitely not say anything. The key is that after doing so, the status of the Mi family in Lu Bu's mind would be greatly reduced.

Lu Bu had no children, so if he could give birth to a son for Lu Bu, his status in the State Shepherd's Mansion would definitely be improved, and the return from such investment would be even more generous in the future.

Xuzhou's big move made Liu Dai at a loss what to do, not to mention preparing troops to guard against the Xuzhou army, even the current situation in Yanzhou is faintly out of control.

Qingzhou yellow turbans entered Yanzhou in large numbers, causing panic among the people in Yanzhou. Wherever the yellow turbans passed, mourners were everywhere.

The destructive power of the Yellow Turbans is beyond doubt, but the strength of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans is no small matter, especially the elite of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, the combat is extremely crazy, even the most elite soldiers in the Han army, after encountering the crazy Qingzhou Army, they are not sure able to win.

The number of Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou is increasing. The strange thing is that few of these Yellow Turbans fled to Xuzhou, and there were also a few Yellow Turbans that entered Yanzhou through Taishan County.

This kind of situation made Liu Dai very angry. In the eyes of Huang Jin, the Yanzhou Army became a weak and bully existence. Even the Huang Jin would despise the majestic princes.

The officials in Yanzhou were panic-stricken. They needed to guard against the invasion of the Yellow Turbans. Last year, they fought against the Xuzhou Army, causing heavy losses to the Yanzhou Army. Can the light armor that has not been trained in the middle school be compared with the soldiers who have experienced war?

In the small-scale confrontation, the Yanzhou army ordered the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to pay a big price, which also made Liu Dai feel at ease. As long as the Qingzhou Yellow Turban can repel, he can make Yanzhou come out of this crisis.

The training of the generals of the Xuzhou Army is still as hot as ever. Although Lu Bu often appears in the army, the appearance of Lu Bu will make the generals of the army pay more attention to their training.

The people of Pengcheng have long been used to the situation in the army. If there were no such violent shouts of killing in the army, they would not be used to it.

The Xuzhou army is proud of Xuzhou. Their victory guaranteed the stability of Xuzhou. After Lu Bu took control of Xuzhou, they did not increase the taxation of the people. This has won Lu Bu a lot of good reputation.

The development of the military power of the princes must be supported by money and food, and they must come from the people to obtain money and food. Anyway, the deterrent power of the court is no longer there. If the princes increase the taxes on the people, no one can control it. This can increase their own strength. Opportunities, even if the people suffer losses because of this, it is nothing in the eyes of the princes.

The support of the aristocratic family is the most important thing to the princes.

"The trapped camp will all be equipped with hundreds of steel-refined weapons. This Marquis needs to make the trapped camp a fearsome presence on the battlefield." Lu Bu said slowly.

Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "The final general will definitely do his best."

The rest of the generals were not surprised at all when they heard the words, because in the various competitions, as long as there is a trapped camp, they have no chance of winning at all. The sixty hundred-refined weapons will fall into the hands of the trapped camp every time. What the lieutenant general has to do is to intensify the training of the soldiers in the army. If the trapped camp is driven from the number one position, it will be able to become famous in the army.

Compared with obtaining sixty hundred refined weapons, the generals in the army care more about reputation. This is a great opportunity to become famous in the Xuzhou army.

But those who become generals, there will be no weak ones. They have made continuous progress in such drills, and demanded more stringent standards for the soldiers in the army.

Lu Bu was very satisfied with the changes in the army. After forming a competitive atmosphere, the soldiers in the army will work harder in training. Ordinary training is an important basis for them to win on the battlefield.

"From now on, all ministries will still conduct drills. If you get No.2, you will get 1 Hundred-Refined Weapons. If you defeat the trapped camp and become No.[-], you will be rewarded with [-] Hundred-refined Weapons. The generals of your team will be promoted by one." Class." Lu Bu said.

"Here." The generals in the army said in unison. From each other's eyes, they felt a strong fighting spirit.

The trapped camp is a mountain that presses down on the heads of the soldiers of the various ministries. There are trapped camps. It is more difficult for them to obtain a hundred-refined weapon blade than to climb to the sky. No.2 got thirty, which is also very important for the generals of the various ministries. Importantly, they need to obtain a hundred-refined weapon.

And after defeating the trapped camp, the rewards will be even more.

At this time, the trapped camp has become the target of the generals to defeat. They must strive for No.2, and at the same time, work hard to defeat the trapped camp.

The training atmosphere in the army has been improved again, and even some soldiers who don't have much confidence in such exchanges have seen hope from this order.

"Zhou Mu's move will definitely make the lieutenants work harder." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"This matter was brought up by Feng Xiao back then." Lu Bu asked, "You must be aware of the current situation in Yanzhou, and make timely arrangements for the changes in Yanzhou."

Chapter 137 Liu Dai died in battle, Cao Cao played

"Here." Guo Jia cupped his hands.

Sending troops to Yanzhou is an important means for Lu Bu to strengthen his strength. This time sending troops to Yanzhou is not only to defeat Liu Dai, but also to control Yanzhou as much as possible.

As long as Liu Dai is defeated by Yuan Shu and Lv Bu, then the battle between Lv Bu and Yuan Shu will probably follow. Yuan Shu has an absolute advantage at this time. If the Xuzhou army cannot get the corresponding benefits, the situation will be even more embarrassing.

In May, Qingzhou Yellow Turbans had a large-scale operation in Yanzhou, and they planned to break through Yanzhou's state governance in one fell swoop.

And the successive victories of the troops under his command made Liu Dai full of confidence. He believed that as long as he led the army to set off, he would surely win the war. At that time, Liu Dai's prestige in Yanzhou would be unmatched, and at the same time he would be able to deter Lu Bu and Yuan Shu. Make the two dare not act rashly.

The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is so cruel. Liu Dai gathered [-] Yanzhou troops and confronted more than [-] Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.

The two sides were originally evenly matched, but who knew that the Qingzhou Army dispatched the most elite Yellow Turban troops to break the formation of the Yanzhou Army in one fell swoop. The Yellow Turban Army, which has an absolute advantage in numbers, would not give up such a good opportunity.

The Yanzhou army failed, and the Yanzhou army that fled back to Changyi only had more than [-] people. Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai died among the rebellious army.

When the news came, Yanzhou was shaken.

On this occasion, Yanzhou is facing internal and external troubles. If the current situation cannot be resolved, what kind of situation will Yanzhou fall into? Will Lu Bu and Yuan Shu let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Zhou Mu died in battle, which made Yanzhou officials panic. Jinbei Minister Bao Xin proposed to welcome Cao Cao, the prefect of Dongjun, as Yanzhou Mu, and lead the Yanzhou army to fight against the Yellow Turbans.

The Yellow Turbans were rampant in Yanzhou, and Cao Cao defeated many Yellow Turbans one after another, and his army continued to grow in the process.

Under Cao Cao's command, the most indispensable thing is the elite of the Yellow Turbans. After these Yellow Turbans came to Cao Cao's command, they were willing to obey Cao Cao's orders, and even showed strong combat effectiveness in battle.

This also has a lot to do with Cao Cao's treatment of the Yellow Turban's surrender. To become a Yellow Turban is a rebellion in the eyes of the world. No one wants to be a rebel forever. After taking refuge in Cao Cao, this situation will change.

From the Yellow Turban rebels to the Han soldiers, many Yellow Turbans are still willing to accept it.

Liu Dai was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's actions at first, but Cao Cao, the prefect of Dongjun, had made a lot of contributions in fighting against the Yellow Turbans, so Liu Dai couldn't say much.

Cao Cao's method of fighting against the Yellow Turban gave Yanzhou officials hope.

In a short period of time as the prefect of Dongjun, Cao Cao became the new Yanzhou Shepherd.

Such a result was beyond Cao Cao's expectations, and he never expected that Liu Dai would die among the rebellious army during the battle with the Yellow Turban, and the [-] Yanzhou army suffered heavy losses.

However, Cao Cao also understands that now is the time when Yanzhou needs him the most. Let Yanzhou come out of this crisis, and he will become the master of Yanzhou and a prince with military power.

The situation in Yanzhou is critical. After Yuan Shu got the news, he was ready to move. Liu Dai died. The Yanzhou army suffered a big loss in the hands of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. It is the best time to take control of Yanzhou. , as long as Yanzhou can be captured, defeating these Yellow Turbans is not an easy task.

"This Marquis wants to send troops to attack Yanzhou and wipe out the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. What do you guys mean?" Yuan Shu asked.

The generals in the arena heard the words and called for a fight one after another. As long as Yuan Shu's territory is large enough, their power will be improved.

Looking at the performance of the generals in the army, Yuan Shu showed a satisfied smile. What he needs is an army loyal to him. The army under his command fought in battle before, and the results they achieved were pretty good, breaking Yuan Shao's plan to let people control Yuzhou , thus only holding Yuzhou in his hands.

"My lord, in the opinion of my subordinates, it is better to unite with the Xuzhou army to attack Yanzhou Yellow Turban." Chang Shi Yang Hong said.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were raging in Yanzhou, which just gave Yuan Shu the opportunity to enter Yanzhou. On the bright side, there must be a resounding banner. The reason for exterminating the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans is undoubtedly the most appropriate.

Ji Lingdao: "Our army has [-] people, why can't we do nothing but yellow scarves?"

Yuan Shu also had the same question, and turned his attention to Yang Hong.

Yang Hongdao: "My lord, General Ji, the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou are nothing to worry about, but Cao Cao, the governor of Dongjun, is currently in charge of Yanzhou. Ten thousand people, after he takes charge of the Yanzhou Army, how can he not be on guard against our army."

"There is no shortage of elites under Marquis Wen's tent, and Marquis Wen and the lord are in an alliance. Let Marquis Wen send troops not only for the sake of the alliance between the two sides, but also to prevent the Xuzhou army from taking the opportunity to cause chaos. Lu Bu has Jia Xu, Mi Zhu and others under his command. It was planned by human beings, if we suddenly send troops when our army is attacking Yanzhou, the consequences will be unpredictable."

Director Yan Xiang said: "The words of the long history are very true. Lu Bu is an extremely vicious person. As long as there are benefits, he will definitely step forward. Moreover, Lu Bu's troops are strong and powerful. They cannot be ignored, and they should be guarded."

Yuan Shu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "You two are right. Who is willing to go to Xuzhou to persuade Lu Bu to send troops?"

Sun Jian was Yuan Shu's thug in the past, and now Lu Bu's position in Yuan Shu's mind is to replace Sun Jian. However, Lu Bu is different from Sun Jian. Lu Bu, who is in charge of Xuzhou and has a strong army, will not willingly follow his orders. He wants to let Lu Bu Obediently obeying his command is not an easy task.

But in his heart, Yuan Shu still didn't pay too much attention to Lu Bu, he was just a vulgar general, and giving him certain benefits would definitely make Lu Bu obey his orders.

Engaged in Han Yin's departure, he said: "My lord, my subordinates are willing to go."

Yuan Shu nodded and agreed, "Tell Lü Bu that the purpose of sending troops this time is to destroy the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. As for how the city of Yanzhou will be after the Yellow Turbans are expelled, I will follow my orders."

"The subordinate understands." Han Yin cupped his hands.

Yang Hong and the others felt a little worried. If Yuan Shu's attitude was too tough, it might have the opposite effect. Lu Bu was not easy to deal with. After occupying Pengcheng, he vigorously developed the army. , Lv Bu will definitely make moves in the future, even if there is no invitation from Yuan Shu, Lv Bu will not let go of the good opportunity to attack Yanzhou.

Yuan Shu needed certain means to control Lv Bu. Lv Bu was relying on Xuzhou's power, not Yuan Shu. Pressing Lv Bu tight would have the opposite effect.

Chapter 138 Yuan Shu Dispatch Troops

It's just that Yuan Shu is currently in a state of excitement, persuading Yuan Shu will be counterproductive, and it will be better to persuade Yuan Shu when the time is right.

The strength of Yuan Shu is also what Yuan Shu's advisers and generals want to see. Currently Yuan Shu is the most powerful among the princes in the world. According to the development of this situation, Yuan Shao who occupies Jizhou is definitely not Yuan Shu's opponent.

"My lord, the soldiers and horses of Gongsun Zan of Youzhou can be used to contain Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao has no time to attend to the affairs of Yanzhou," Yan Xiang said.

Yuan Shu nodded in satisfaction. Compared with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Yuan Shu is most afraid of Yuan Shao who occupies Jizhou. The conflict between him and Yuan Shao has reached the point of irreconcilability. Before Yuan Shao proposed to make Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu emperor, Directly vetoed for Yuan Shu.

The world is in chaos, and it's time to flex its muscles. What's the matter with setting up another emperor? Without the suppression from the emperor, he can realize his ambitions, especially after getting the Jade Seal of Chuanguo from Sun Ce, Yuan Shu's heart is full. It is no longer above ZTE Dahan.

The soldiers and horses of Yangzhou and Yuzhou were constantly mobilized. Ji Ling led an army of [-] to push Chenliu, and the follow-up army was being mobilized.

At the same time, Yuan Shu's work, Han Yin, came to Pengcheng. It was only a few months since he came to Pengcheng last time, but Han Yin had different feelings after entering Pengcheng. The sound gave people a sense of shock. This kind of situation had never happened under Yuan Shu's command. It seemed that training was a very exciting thing for the soldiers in the army.

Most of the young and strong entered the army, not from the bottom of their hearts. They had one or another reason, and after arriving in the army, they mainly just dawdle.

When encountering a war, the combat effectiveness displayed by the lieutenant soldiers is not satisfactory, especially when encountering a difficult battle, many soldiers will think about how to save their lives from the war instead of helping the army win.

In response to such a situation, although Yuan Shu had imposed strict requirements, compared with the intense training of Pengcheng's army, there was a big gap.

Having said that, Han Yin didn't pay too much attention to the Xuzhou Army. Yuan Shu has a full [-] troops, and the Xuzhou Army is full of more than [-] people. Yuan Shu's army is not comparable to the Yanzhou Army. Lu Bu If you want to fight against Yuan Shu, there will definitely be no good results.

That's why after entering Pengcheng, Han Yin's attitude was very proud.

Yuan Shu sent troops to occupy Yanzhou, it was already a certainty, who would dare to disobey Yuan Shu's order at that time.

It was Jia Xu who received Han Yin. When treating Han Yin, Jia Xu was very respectful and praised Yuan Shu a lot in words, which made Han Yin very satisfied.

After finding out the purpose of Han Yin's visit, Jia Xu immediately asked to see Lu Bu.

The mobilization of the army under Yuan Shu's command was not hidden from the eyeliner of Elaborate. Before Han Yin came to Pengcheng, Lu Bu had already got the news.

"My lord, now Yuan Shu has dispatched General Ji Ling to approach Chen Liu, and his intention to attack Yanzhou is clear. My lord will deal with it early." Jia Xu cupped his hands.

Lu Bu said, "How did you hear that Yuan Shu's emissary is arrogant, and often makes things difficult for Wen He?"

"Then Han Yin came here on behalf of Yuan Shu, not with ordinary knowledge." Jia Xu said indifferently.

Lu Bu snorted coldly: "It's just a mere envoy who dares to be so arrogant in front of Wen He. It seems that they haven't seen the power of this Marquis. One day, Ben Marquis will let Yuan Shu's envoy see Wen He. Respectful."

"Thanks to my lord's love." Jia Xu's heart warmed.

Compared with Yuan Shu's current strength, there is indeed a big gap between Lu Bu's strength, which also caused Yuan Shu's emissary to be arrogant, and only the stronger side can have a higher status.

"What does Wen He think about the dispatch of troops?" Lu Bu asked.

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said: "Yuan Shu's army has been mobilized in a big way. This is good news for my lord. Although Cao Cao has not been in charge of Yanzhou for a long time, he has integrated Yanzhou's army. There will be a battle with Qingzhou Yellow Turban in the near future. If Cao Cao wins, Facing the invasion of Yuan Shu's army, we will definitely not stand by and watch, but the lord only needs to prepare secretly and wait for the right time."

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Could it be that Wen He wants me to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?"

"It's not easy. Cao Cao is not an ordinary person. After taking control of Yanzhou, the means he showed cannot be underestimated. There are many strong generals and counselors around him to help. What kind of changes will take place is unknown, but Cao Cao will not know about the alliance between the lord and Yuan Shu." Jia Xu said: "The Yanzhou army must take precautions against the lord."

"So what can we do with precautions? With Wenhe planning on the side, I will definitely be able to drive Cao Cao out of Yanzhou and seize the land of Yanzhou in one fell swoop." Lu Bu said in a relaxed tone.

"The humble job will do its best to help the lord achieve great success." Jia Xu said.

The change in Yanzhou is an important opportunity for Lu Bu. Seize this opportunity and get more benefits from the war in Yanzhou. It will be of great help to Lu Bu's situation after breaking through. Lu Bu has ambitions, so what about Yuan Shu and Cao Cao? Not so, the key is that Cao Cao's foothold in Yanzhou is not stable now, and only by driving Cao Cao out of Yanzhou can Lu Bu break the current situation.

The Xuzhou army is strong, and it was explained when it defeated the Qingzhou army and the Yanzhou army, but such a victory was far from enough for Lu Bu. The most important thing for Xuzhou is to get rid of the embarrassing situation surrounded by powerful enemies. The lord attacks to occupy the land of Yanzhou and forms a momentum against Yuan Shu, so that he can survive the next changes.

If not, even if Lu Bu had a powerful army, he could only obediently obey Yuan Shu's orders. After occupying Yanzhou, Yuan Shu's strength would reach a terrifying level.

"I heard that Cheng Yu has defected to Cao Cao and worked under Cao Cao's command?" Lu Bu asked.

Jia Xu nodded and said, "The humble official once ordered someone to win over Cheng Yu and refused him."

"I don't know good and bad, do you think that Cao Cao can really stabilize the situation in Yanzhou?" Lu Bu snorted coldly. Cheng Yu is a resourceful man, so he naturally wanted to win him over. Unexpectedly, as in history, Cheng Yu still took refuge. Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has a lot of powerful generals under his command, and if Cheng Yu plans from them, once Cao Cao has a firm foothold in Yanzhou, it will be even more terrifying.

Compared with Yuan Shu, Lu Bu is more afraid of Cao Cao. Cao Cao is not a simple person. If the Xuzhou army does not participate in this battle, it will be difficult to break through Yanzhou only by relying on Yuan Shu's troops. This is his confidence in Cao Cao.

Chapter 139 The Scary Cao Cao

However, Lu Bu would not give Cao Cao a chance to develop. When Cao Cao's foothold in Yanzhou is not stable, he will be able to drive Cao Cao out of Yanzhou, and even make Cao Cao withdraw from the stage of hegemony.
