When Lu Su heard this, he was surprised that his lord had a great ambition and should not be underestimated.

Thirty thousand mares are amazing. According to the birth of one horse in two years, there are more than 10,000 foals a year. Horses grow very fast and can work at the age of two. The productivity generated by more than 10,000 horses is very huge. In agricultural production, a horse can stand up to several strong men. If tens of thousands of mules can be cultivated, it will be even more amazing, and it has great significance for increasing grain production.

But it is obvious that Lu Bu took such great efforts to win Youzhou not just for tens of thousands of horses.

"Now that Youzhou has been taken, it will be more convenient to trade in the future. But the Wuhuan people are ambitions and have to be guarded." Lu Su reminded.

"The Wuhuan people have a new leader, Tadun, near Liaoxi County, with a population of more than 200,000. They are soldiers of the whole people. This population is actually very high, and they can mobilize at least 100,000 troops, but they cannot form a threat in the short term. Xuzhou trades horses with the Wuhuan people with iron pots, liquor, cloth, tea, grain, etc. The Wuhuan people are theoretically under the jurisdiction of Youzhou. Once the time is ripe, they must be managed and cannot be allowed to develop wildly. The goal in the short term is to introduce 100,000 Hun horses to Xuzhou to achieve the energy of farming."

Lu Su thought to himself that this would be exchanged for many iron pots and strong liquors. You should know that the strong liquor is brewed by grain, and the money and grain consumed is too much.

"At present, our Xuzhou totals 30,000 cavalry, 80,000 infantry, and 3,000 naval divisions. This year, we have received part of Ji Ling and Youzhou Army. Although there are many people, our combat effectiveness is much worse than before. The current situation is that there are many soldiers but not strong. It takes about a year to restore combat effectiveness and integrate and conquer these teams."

Lu Su roughly understood Xuzhou's family background thoroughly, and did not immediately give any constructive suggestions. He had to understand it first. Of course, he asked someone to go home to bring people. Lu Su's own Qun team had more than 500 people, and his combat effectiveness was still very strong. Lu Bu added another 500 people to him, and temporarily led 1,000 troops and appointed him as the lieutenant of the Zan Army. His actual task was to counsel the military aircraft, equivalent to a military advisor with him.

Lu Bu knew Lu Su's ability, but others didn't know it. It is inevitable that someone would be dissatisfied with appointing such a high position.

Lu Su was quite hardworking, training and leading troops, and was able to handle government affairs. Lu Bu handed over the training of new soldiers to Lu Su, and was also in charge of the Wenhou Drunk Factory in Xuzhou City.

The burden is very heavy. Lu Bu brought tens of thousands of infantry from Youzhou, Bohai County, and Jinan County. These soldiers were originally from Yuan Shao, with poor combat effectiveness, floating thoughts, and uneven people's hearts. Such soldiers can only fight with the wind. Once they catch up with the tough battle, they surrender directly, so they must be trained hard. The generals and officials trained are all from the Iron Cavalry of Xuzhou, but Lu Bu is now in short supply of manpower, and several powerful brothers have been sent out, and Lu Su just happened to use it.

The training framework for recruits has come out, and Lu Su will not do anything badly.

Lu Su began to focus on training new recruits and his own 1,000 infantry soldiers. These 1,000 soldiers were elite soldiers. Lu Su brought all the strong men in their 20 or 30 years, and the big sword soldiers of Yishui. The five hundred that Lu Bu supplemented were archers.

The military uniforms and supplies were all intact, but only one hundred sets of iron armor were allocated. However, Wang Heng explained it very clearly to Lu Su. Now he has transferred the iron armor to Jinan County, which is most likely to start the war, and Jizhou County.

For several days, Lu Su was in the New Guardian camp and his understanding of the Xuzhou army became more profound.

In terms of living standards, ordinary soldiers' food and drink have even surpassed ordinary wealthy families.

Breakfast with pumpkin or sweet potato rice porridge, pickles, green vegetables, and occasionally eggs.

Lunch pancakes or steamed buns, stewed vegetables, potatoes, cabbage, radish, etc. This season, there are more ducks and big geese, and each army can divide them in a small amount. The soldiers must go to the kitchen to help deal with it. The geese's down should be kept warm, and the tail feathers should be kept as feather arrows.

Dinner is generally simple, with noodles or pancakes and some stews.

That morning, Lu Su led his troops to La Lian back from outside the city, and Lu Bu came.

"Zijing, have you adapted to these days? If you have any problems in life, just react."

Lu Su shook his head: "There is no problem in life, but how much does it cost to eat like this one day?"

"The cost is very little. Vegetables, pigs, waterfowl, and grain are all obtained from soldiers' military farming. Only a small amount is transferred, and a soldier's expense will not exceed three cents a day. The cost is strictly controlled, and once the standard exceeds the standard, it will be reduced."

Lu Su was a little disbelief: "I always thought that the cost of meat and poultry was quite high."

"No, very low. Now except for duck shoots, we process other feeds ourselves. A duck can produce 200 eggs a year, while a duck egg costs less than half a cent. Control costs and strictly control the greed situation of internal procurement. The real money spent is when fighting. Once the war is in, the consumption of money and grain will be much higher. The compressed military ration we make is one or two or two, and beef jerky is also a sky-high price. However, these things cannot be used for conventional combat."

Lu Su also understood that Lu Bu was asking his soldiers to work and support himself. He spent all his spare time in farming and breeding. Combining training and military farming, when he was tired of training, he would have fun farming.

Pu Feng brought people to transport 200 iron horses.

"Zijing looked at these iron horses. I plan to equip your troops with a thousand people to increase the speed of the march. Once Teng Kingdom and Rencheng have something to do, go and support it at any time."

Lu Su was surprised. He saw this thing a few days ago. It was the patrol soldiers of Chen Gongmen who could ride on the city walls and quickly move to places where they needed support. An iron rack and two large wheels, and people could run quickly if they rode on it and stomped on it.

"I just came here and I was not suitable to have such important equipment."

"What's wrong with Zijing's ability is obvious to all. What's more, equipping iron horses is not a blessing. It's very hard to ride 170 to 80 miles a day. You can arrange to study these 200 vehicles first, and then transfer 800 vehicles to you later."

Lu Su took an iron horse and saw that it was very easy for others to ride. He turned over and rode it, but almost fell down.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zijing, Iron Horse seems simple, but in fact there are some tricks."

Lu Bu asked his personal soldiers to demonstrate to Lu Su. After Lu Su tried several times, he could ride it crookedly.

After coming over for a while, Lu Su rode over by bike, very surprised.

"Lord, this iron horse marches 200 miles a day, which is a powerful tool for marching. Do you need any logistics along the way?"

"Unlike a horse, it does not need for forage. However, its tires are inflatable and need to be repaired if punctured by something, so it needs to be equipped with several maintenance personnel. Of course, due to the large amount of exercise, soldiers need to eat more. However, the iron horse has a strong capacity to carry 150 kilograms, which is much more difficult than infantry carrying."

Lu Bu took Lu Su to his army's training ground, where there was a special iron horse training ground, crossing narrow roads, crossing bends, passing obstacles, etc. Of course, there were also people riding on iron horses, and a strong man would still ride quickly with another strong man. The weight of a person was much heavier than the weight of a single soldier carrying baggage.
