I have to say that writing is a time-consuming and brain-consuming task.

It took three days for Lu Bu to complete the first issue of Yanhuang Newspaper.

But at this time, the messenger from Xuchang arrived.

What surprised Lu Bu was that he was actually a big shot.

The visitor is Xun You.

You know, this is one of the top strategists under Cao Cao's sect.

After some politeness, we came to the point, which was to join forces to attack Yuan Shu.

"Wen Hou, what do you think?" Seeing Lu Bu remained silent, Xun You asked again.

Although Lu Bu was unwilling to exert a lot of troops, he had a territory that had to be retrieved, which was Guangling County.

Guangling County was originally affiliated with Xuzhou, but in the war between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, it was occupied by Yuan Shu.

Only by taking Guangling County can Xuzhou be considered complete. Only by taking Guangling can Lu Bu be considered to have the Yangtze River defense line and a series of future development plans.

According to history, Yuan Shu can no longer live for three months. Moreover, according to history, Cao Cao and Sun Ce jointly attacked Yuan Shu and divided Yuan Shu's territory. But now, there is one more him.

If you don’t take this opportunity to bring Guangling County back, you will definitely have many troubles in the future.

After thinking about it, Lu Bu smiled and said, "Okay, let's fight against Yuan Shu together. I only have one goal, Guangling County."

Seeing Lu Bu agreeing, Xun You couldn't help but be happy and said with a smile: "Guangling was originally under Xuzhou, so it is natural for Wen Hou to take it back. Then let's make up for it. After the spring plowing, we will jointly attack Yuan Shu, a traitor!"

"Hahahaha, that's it!"

The alliance was signed soon, and Lu Bu naturally understood the reasons for this military strategy very well.

If he did not sign such a covenant and did not send troops, Cao Cao would not be able to feel at ease.

Because in the era of the battle for hegemony, everyone will be wary of the people around you. They are always worried about being reaped the benefits of the fisherman, and they are worried that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind.

Besides, Xuchang and Pengcheng are only 300 kilometers away. Fights may occur at any time, so everyone will be wary of it.

After seeing Xun You away, Lu Bu had to discuss military strategies with Chen Gong.

But the situation is not optimistic.

Now there are 120,000 soldiers under Lu Bu's command, and 80,000 are purely recruits.

You must know that these new recruits were recruited from these millions of poor people. If he had not served in the army alone, his family would not have recruited so many soldiers at all.

It can be said that this is completely a military force. Basically, the youngest strong man under his rule was concentrated in his army. Moreover, he could no longer recruit soldiers from Xuzhou from then on. In other words, these 120,000 soldiers were the only soldiers he had in the world to dominate.

There was Yuan Shao in the north, and Yuan Shao had no worries to wipe out Gongsun Zan, and he would only go south in the future. Therefore, the Tibetan soldiers and horses could not move at all in the Taishan area. Lu Bu stationed 50,000 heavy troops here, most of them were veterans.

Pengcheng is the gateway to Xuzhou, and it is also a top priority. Who can guarantee that Cao Cao will not attack and attack? Therefore, Pengcheng also needs at least 20,000 troops to defend the city.

Xia Pi is the foundation of the capital, and it cannot be lost. The city sergeant family and local tyrants did not submit to him, and had a considerable resistance. In this way, at least 20,000 troops would be able to suppress it.

In addition, cities in various places also need to divide some troops to defend the city and maintain public order. In this way, he can only use 20,000 troops at most. And they are basically new soldiers and infantry.

Twenty thousand troops captured Guangling, and with Yuan Shu's current strength, it was indeed possible. But equally, Lu Bu would also suffer a considerable loss.

When Lu Bu thought of the great damage to his troops, he felt a little unhappy.

But I have to do this, so I can only think of strategies as much as possible.

But when Lu Bu talked about his plan with Chen Gong, Chen Gong strongly opposed it.

In his opinion, Xuzhou has become stable now, and there is no need for Lu Bu to take risks in person.

If Lu Bu is wrong, then everyone can only act like birds and beasts, what else can they fight and what to develop.

However, Lu Bu still used his lord's power to forcibly suppress Chen Gong's opposition.

Guangling is too important and must be brought back.

In this way, Lu Bu summoned Gao Shun over.

In history, after Lu Bu's death, Gao Shun would rather die than surrender. Therefore, there is no need to doubt Lu Bu's loyalty to Gao Shun.

In this way, Lu Bu expanded the organization of the camp to 5,000.

And these five thousand people are elite soldiers selected from these 120,000 elite soldiers.

It can be said to be a special forces.

These five thousand camps do not require military garrisons, only training, and are extremely high-intensity training.

The treatment of the trapped camp is naturally the best among the entire army.

However, only five hundred of the five thousand trap camps are the original veterans. The remaining four thousand five hundred are new recruits, and their combat power is still very weak.

Gao Shun arrived soon and bowed with his fists: "Lord!"

"Yes!" Lu Bu replied: "After the spring plowing, I plan to recover Guangling, and you can pick three hundred skilled masters from the camp and give them to me."

Gao Shun frowned, but immediately responded: "No!"

Gao Shun didn't ask much, and Lu Bu was very satisfied.

Then, Lu Bu drew a stroke of weapons and hurried to the weapons factory.

Since there is a war plan, of course, we must make all military preparations in advance.

In addition to recruiting soldiers, there are also various logistics, weapons, armor, food and grass, grain transport farmers, etc.

All of these must be prepared one by one in advance. When fighting war is to fight logistics.

Fortunately, Guangling County is right next to it, only one or two hundred kilometers. This is under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, so it will not consume too much manpower and material resources.

As long as this battle goes well, the benefits of regaining Guangling will be huge.

When Lu Bu returned from the weapons factory, he saw a group of scholars and local tyrants sending servants to open up land and farm.

Lu Bu knew this information, and Lu Bu was also very clear about these people's thoughts.

That is to try to open up land and occupy land as much as possible. Even if you don’t have the right to own land, if you want to farm first, if Lu Bu wants to take it back in the future, I am afraid that the scholars and local tyrants will also ask for compensation.

Or if after Lu Bu's death, other princes occupy Xuzhou, and these lands will be directly turned into their land.

Lu Bu was also helpless against this kind of open conspiracy.

Fortunately, he now wants to store more grain, which doesn’t matter.

But at the same time, Lu Bu's determination to dominate the world.

In this world, the scholars and local tyrants only care about family interests and ignore national interests at all.

The scholar family refers to those who are officials, while the local tyrants are landlords. Their ravines are all in a state, and they are borers.

It is because these borers are there, and the country has no taxes and it is difficult to develop. And taxes are all on the poor people, so how can the people not suffer?

In addition, technology is backward and productivity is inefficient. Once a year of famine occurs, it means that many people starve to death.

This is exactly the origin of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

But even if Lu Bu knew this, with his current strength, he could not change anything at all.

What he can do is to use a series of reforms to return all of these lands to the country after developing science and technology first and strengthening the country and the people.

However, what surprised Lu Bu was that he actually saw the people from the Mi family.

The Mi family has been doing business for generations, and there are tens of thousands of slaves in the family, which is rich enough to rival a country.

It was precisely because of the help of the Mi family that Liu Bei was able to recruit soldiers and gain a place.

Similarly, if you want to survive in troubled times, all major forces will choose one place to rely on.

However, Mi Zhu chose the down-and-out Liu Bei, not only providing a large amount of property, but also investing in two thousand strong slaves, but even married his sister Mi Zhen to Liu Bei.

Although the two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang followed Liu Bei to conquer the world, the Mi family was still in Xuzhou and there were still nearly 10,000 slaves in the family.

Moreover, if the Mi family has been doing business for generations, it will have a huge driving force for Lu Bu's industry and commerce.

Moreover, it can also reduce a resistance force at the same time.

Well, I must get the Moe’s house done.

Lu Bu felt certain in his heart, and his heart instantly had two heavens of ice and fire.

Ice is cruel and ruthless, and fire is burning the body and taking the fire.

The target is Liu Bei’s wife, Mi Zhen.
