Chapter 399

Lu Bu looked up and saw that the sun was setting and it was already late.

Pu Feng came to report: "There is a town shop in front of me called Xuji. There is a large wasteland outside the town, just in time to stop the horse."

"Okay, then camp outside the town."

The army was moving like the wind, with more than 10,000 horses raising the dust in the sky.

I rushed to Xuji Town. This town has a large store size and looks like it can have as many as a thousand households.

Interestingly, the people in the town did not think it was the Xuzhou army who came to see it, but instead thought it was the Cao army, with the town gate open and some children watching horses nearby.

The army first burned the weeds on the open space with a torch, then nailed wooden stakes, pulled barbed wire, and set up tents.

It's spring now, and the tent is relatively simple.

The temporary stables of war horses are more complicated, such as nailing wooden piles, troughs onto the troughs, etc.

More than 10,000 war horses went to the river outside the town to drink clear water. After a meal, the water surface actually dropped.

When the camp was well established and the big Lu flag was flying, the smart people discovered that it was the Xuzhou army. But at this time, why did they close the door? They obviously had no malice and insisted on closing the door angering Lu Bu and the whole town suffered.

Lu Bu, Lu Tong, Xu Shitou, and a group of more than a dozen cavalrymen entered the town. There is only one commercial street in the town, and the north and south streets are relatively prosperous. There are various shops on both sides. Many products produced in Xuzhou are sold here.

The vendors who set up street stalls were selling along the road. There was a restaurant in front of them, and the two-story wooden building looked quite high-end.

The soldiers were on duty outside, and Lu Bu and the other three entered the store.

The shopkeeper was a little confused. He had never come in to have dinner when he was so old.

"Sir, what are you going to eat."

"What do you have?"

"Sir, there is nothing strange about this restaurant. There is only Hula soup, chicken meatballs, and roast chicken."

"Sure, let's just do these three things. I'll try the taste first. If you want to pack some for me."

Three bowls of spicy soup, a plate of chicken meatballs, and a plate of roast chicken.

The taste was actually pretty good, and Xu Shitou and Lu Tong stood beside him.

"Sit down and eat together, it tastes pretty good."

Unfortunately, no matter what Lu Bu said, these two people dared not sit down and eat. After all, they are guards, and the thoughts of this era are like this, and Lu Bu cannot change them. Where can there be guards and masters sitting on the same table as the master to eat.

The two of them stood drinking the soup, let alone the Hu La soup tasted very positive.

Lu Bu had a lot of appetite and finished roast chicken in a short while.

"It tastes really good. How much does the shopkeeper cost in total?"

The shopkeeper was startled and said quickly: "No money, no money, please give me some food."

Lu Bu frowned: "What's the matter? After it spread, I thought I wouldn't pay for my meal."

"There are still fifty roast chickens in the small shop, and they are all sent to the army to work hard. How about asking for the general?"

"Okay, come with the pen and ink."

Lu Bu was born as a master of Bo, and the words were written very well.

I wrote down four big characters in a flowing clouds and flowing water: Daokou roast chicken, and the following few small characters are written by Lu Fengxian.

The shopkeeper was as if he had found a treasure and quickly put it away.

For safety reasons, the personal soldiers downstairs blocked their arms, delaying their business, so Lu Bu said goodbye and left.

Not far away, I suddenly heard someone shouting behind me: "Is it true that I am Wen Hou?"

When Lu Bu looked back, he saw a tall man behind him, with a sword hanging around his waist. He looked like a scribe, but also a samurai. There was nothing strange about this year. It was normal for scribes to practice martial arts and generals to learn literature.

Lu Bu turned over and dismounted, came over and asked, "It's Lu Bu, who is your lord?"

"I am Xu Shu, how did Mr. Wen get here? This is the hinterland of Cao's army. It is very dangerous for more than 10,000 generals to be in charge."

Unexpectedly, I met Xu Shu, and I had not yet defected to Liu Bei.

"It turned out to be Xu Yuanzhi. I was just using the opportunity to bring troops here. Even if Prime Minister Cao knew about it, he would not be surprised. Yuanzhi didn't need to worry. It was rare to meet, so why not talk in our army?"

"Wen Hou invites you, dare not obey your order."

Xu Shu followed Lu Bu into the military camp. The Xuzhou military camp was so strange that it didn't even have the most basic fence. It didn't look away when you were far away. But when you looked closer, you would find several black wires, whether they were war horses or infantry, it would be very difficult to rush over.

Lu Bu set up wine in the army, and Zhao Lord Bo served as a banquet for Xu Shu.

Xu Shu asked, "Wen Hou, why are you here? Are you going to beat Xu Du?"

Lu Bu shook his head: "There is no danger to defend in the Central Plains, and the Yellow River is flooding, so why did I beat you up? This is not Liu Bei went to Jingzhou to cause trouble, bullied Liu Biao's two stupid sons, and killed Cai Mao. I'm going to preside over justice."

Xu Shu almost sneered. This Wen Hou was really shameless.

It is true that Liu Bei was going to seize the foundation of Jingzhou, but Lu Bu was not the same, but he had to occupy some public opinion high ground morally.

"Yuan Zhi may not know that Cai Mao is the uncle of my military advisor Kong Ming. Should I avenge Guan Yu kills him? Cao Bao is my father-in-law, killed by Zhang Fei, whether to avenge this revenge. A real man was born between heaven and earth, and he was clearly distinguished, so this time he was just going to avenge him. But when he fought in Xiangyang, he found that the city walls of Xiangyang were as hard as iron walls, and it was urgent and difficult to capture, so he returned to the army and waited for the opportunity."

Xu Shuting was happy and felt that Lu Bu was quite in line with his appetite.

Don’t think that Xu Shu is a scholar and that he is a weak scholar. In fact, it’s completely different.

In order to avenge his friends, Xu Shu took a long sword and sacked his enemies in the street. He walked in the downtown area with his head in his arms. What does this feel like? It is absolutely a bandit, not something that ordinary people can do.

"Why is Wen Hou fighting in the north and south for the sake of?"

"For the sake of why, of course, it is to end the current situation of separatist rule by the princes and allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, at least they have food, drink, clothes and houses. After five years of struggle, Xuzhou has achieved this goal, and the next step is Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou."

Xu Shu felt that Lu Bu was bragging again, and he was the kind of bragging.

I have been traveling around the country for many years, and I have seen more people in poverty. How many people have frozen to death and starved to death every year?

The simplest sentence is to eat and wear warmth, which is extremely difficult to achieve. Qin Emperor and Han Wu, no one dared to say that they could solve the problem of food and clothing.

When Emperor Wu of Han attacked the Huns in the north, it took decades of accumulation from the Han Dynasty.

"I heard that Xuzhou is extremely developed with animal and cattle and horses everywhere, but I just don't know whether it is true or false."

Lu Bu smiled: "Yuan Zhi was joking. Can I fake this kind of thing by me, Lu Bu?"

Lu Bu waved his hand and asked his personal soldiers to get a piece of iron armor and a piece of iron armor, and then took a bag of straw paper.

"Please look at Yuanzhi. This is the iron armor worn by ordinary soldiers in Xuzhou. The front, chest and back are made of iron plates made of fine iron, which can prevent bows and crossbows. The shoulder armor and the battle skirt are fish scale armor, which have slightly poor defense."

At first glance, this iron armor is the iron armor that has been through many battles, and the potholes left by more than a dozen bows and arrows.
