The soldiers of Zhang Liao were all trained in advance. Although there were few horses, they could occasionally train horse riding. So these basic horse riding, horse training, etc. can still be used.

As for advanced skills such as riding and shooting, it takes time to hone. The strong and strong man's iron sect has not been erased in this era.

Zhang Liao said: "Don't worry, lord, I will definitely train the soldiers in advance and will immediately become an army as soon as the horses arrive."

Lu Bu smiled and said, "It's impolite to come but not go. Cao thief comes and hits us, and we have to go over and hit them."

When Zhang Liao heard the blood boiling, the Xuzhou army finally became stronger. From the Xuzhou army, which had only eight thousand worries about food and grass, to the Xuzhou army, which now had more than 40,000 soldiers and had sufficient food, the changes were huge. It had just defeated Cao Cao, and now the Xuzhou army is in full swing.

Four hundred Hun horses were distributed to Zhang Liao, and eighty mares were kept for breeding.

There was nothing wrong with the army. Because the weather was too hot, the daily training was basically in the morning and evening.

Lu Bu asked: "Master Liu Bo, what are the things happening everywhere recently?"

Liu Zhubo said: "Langya has suffered a small flood, and Chen Gong has sent a thousand patrol troops to rescue him. Zhuge Jin led a team in Dongguan to wipe out tigers and wolves and hunted six tigers. Wu Dun had just arrived in Taishan County and had not completed his work, and he had not sent any official documents. In addition, Xuzhou, Xiapi, and many people in the East China Sea were coming to Xuzhou to deliver melons to you, but the local officials don't know what to do?"

"Send melons, what melons?"

"Of course it's Wenhou melons. A lot of seeds were produced in spring. The people didn't believe it at first, but now they see a lot of results. They all want to come to Xuzhou to send you melons to express their gratitude."

"Oh, this matter is enough. Just let the people hand over Wenhou Gua to the local government as agreed."

"Okay lord, I'll just reply."

Seeing that there was nothing wrong in the camp, Lu Bu decided to go home. After all, there were two pregnant women in the family, and he was still worried if he didn't go to see him.

Not long after I got there, I saw a traffic jam in front of me. Yes, traffic jams. Many wheelbarrows blocked the road, and there is a characteristic on this wheelbarrow, which is to push pumpkins.

The personal soldiers stepped forward and said, "Everyone let me give in, let Lord Wen Hou go there."

Just this sentence made a fuss.

Everyone turned their heads one after another, and saw that they were riding a red rabbit horse and holding a Fang Tian Ji in their hands. Isn’t this Lu Bu?

"Meet the Marquis of Wen." Everyone saluted Lu Bu.

Lu Bu turned over and dismounted and said, "Don't be too polite, please get up quickly. Where are you going, why are you blocking the road?"

An old man said: "In spring, Wenhou sent everyone the seeds of Wenhou melons, and now it is a good harvest. My family's fifty Wenhou melons bear fruit more than 100 fruits, and each weighs 15 or 6 kilograms. Drink water and remember the source, and you can't forget the well digger when you eat water. I just touched and wanted to send a few melons to Wenhou."

"Everyone heard from me that we can just hand over the melons planted to the local government. There is no need to run to Xuzhou so far. It's hot and it will be troublesome if there is heat stroke."

Tong Lu turned around and arranged for his personal soldiers to go back to the camp and then cook some mung bean soup in the big cart shop outside the south gate to relieve the heat of these people.

The people said: "What is handed over to the government is what the government has to do. Cats and dogs are grateful, let alone people. In the eyes of Wen Hou, this is just a melon, but in our eyes, this is a life-saving melon. The family has hundreds of melons, which can be eaten in the house for the whole winter. At least they can't starve to death."

Some people even wiped their tears as they said that life was not easy.

It turned out that these people went to Lu Bu’s mansion. There were personal soldiers on duty in Lu Bu’s mansion and were not allowed to enter, which caused traffic jams.

Lu Bu said: "I accepted everyone's kindness, but I also have a lot of Wenhou melons in my family, and I can't finish eating them. In this way, everyone wait, everyone comes to the Nanmen Dache Store and prepare mung bean soup for you."

Lu Bu also arranged for Liu Zhubo to take a few pieces of real cloth, and any farmers who gave melons would give them five-foot cloth back and let them go home to make a piece of clothing to wear.

Lu Bu was very moved. Most of the people who came to send melons were from remote rural areas outside the city, and the nearest one was more than 20 miles away, and sixty or seventy miles away. These days, it was all about walking. The poorer the people were, the more grateful they knew. There were a total of one or two hundred farmers, and hundreds of melons were piled up.

Everyone dispersed, and Liu Zhubo wrote a sign at the door: "If you are poor and have no food, please pick it up."

Some people came to get it, but very few. On the contrary, more and more people came to deliver melons, and many melons were piled up. The big cart shop has been renamed Da Gua Shop.

In fact, the Wenhou melon is not ripe yet, but it can be eaten. The tender green skin is made of bun filling, which is more suitable for cooking. When it is really cooked, you have to wait until the skin turns yellow, so that it can be truly cooked.

Just as Lu Bu was happily organizing the post-war arrangement, Cao Cao, who was far away in Xudu, had just returned in a mess.

Cao Cao's beard became shorter again, and he brought back 20,000 soldiers and only a few thousand people.

No one dared to ask or say anything, it seemed that he was defeated.

Others dare not, but some dare, Guo Jia.

"Lord, was chased by Lu Bu?"

"Well, I was chased by Lu Bu. Lu Bu has a good experience. I can't call him a common man from now on. It's amazing. He used his troops like a god. He lost three battles and three times, and returned in a mess. Thanks to Jia Xu this time, he rewarded 1,000 guan." Cao Cao didn't care.

Jia Xu next to him said: "Shame, ashamed. I didn't persist at that time. If I persist, I would definitely be able to see Lu Bu's trick."

Cao Cao asked Guo Jia: "Do you know what oil can burn violently and ignite the green grass?"

"It should be tung oil, and the tung oil burns more violently."

"It is possible that you can get some tung oil experiments immediately. If it is really useful, we will plant some tung oil trees in large quantities and burn Lu Bu once next time."

Cao Cao was immediately anxious to hold a meeting, and this time he discovered many problems.

First, the iron armor rate in Lu Bu's army was much higher, and Cao Cao also wanted to expand logistics, make more steel, and build more iron armor.

Second, there were many shields in Lu Bu's army, and Cao Cao also planned to learn. However, it is a pity that the bamboo helmet of Lu Bu's army was not seized after a war. However, this did not cause the Cao army, which was full of talents. After all, Cao Cao was the prime minister and held great power. There were still many craftsmen who knew bamboo weaving.

The third is that Lu Bu's army is more energetic and fierce in wars. Obviously, there is a lot of training for it.

"Failure is not scary, but what is scary is not learning from failure. This failure is mainly my responsibility, because in my impression, Lu Bu is still the same man Lu Bu. I didn't expect that Lu Bu has changed so much and the Xuzhou army has developed so quickly. Therefore, our logistics must keep up, not worse than Xuzhou army. Our training must also keep up, and we must have the same atmosphere as Lu Bu's Xuzhou army."
