Chapter 940: Planning

Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! "From the perspective of Wenhe, how many soldiers and horses can the princes gather by then?" Lu Bu asked.

Jia Xu was silent for a long time and said slowly: "According to the information obtained by my subordinates, the number of soldiers and horses gathered by the princes can reach 200,000. This is when Jiangdong sends troops."

Everyone in the arena gasped when they heard the words, two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, just imagining it is scary.

"No matter how many soldiers and horses the princes have, the soldiers and horses of the princes cannot be allowed to step into the Huguan." Lu Bu said loudly.

Gu Yong and Li Su were also in a heavy mood. They did not expect that Bingzhou would attract the siege of the princes, and Lu Bu had just put down Xianbei and Chang'an traitors, and he was a hero of the Han Dynasty. Could it be that the Han Dynasty has really reached this point? The princes from all over the country have reached this level, and without knowing it, Gu Yong and Jia Xu no longer have the initial enthusiasm for the Han Dynasty, what they have is only hatred.

The longer they stay in Bingzhou, the more they can feel the vitality bursting out of Bingzhou, and let their talents be unreservedly displayed in Bingzhou, without worrying that the superiors will be jealous.

"Let Mi Zhu and Mi Fang come to see the Marquis." After Gu Yong and Li Su left, Lu Bu immediately ordered.

The Jinyang Chamber of Commerce that Mi Zhu is in charge of now has great influence in Dahan, but all merchants or aristocratic families from all over the country are respectful to the Bingzhou Mi family. Businessmen will not refuse benefits.

Mi Zhu also got bad news about Bingzhou from businessmen from various places recently. The businessmen are sometimes very well-informed in terms of news. Since the princes began to secretly unite, the number of businessmen going to Bingzhou has decreased significantly.

"Zizhong, maybe you have already got some news. The current situation is extremely unfavorable for Bingzhou. It can be said that Bingzhou has reached the point of life and death. If Bingzhou is lost, do you think Youzhou and the newly acquired Chang'an can be kept?"

Lu Bu's words made Mi Zhu and Mi Fang look at each other in blank dismay. They knew that the situation was not good for Bingzhou, but they didn't expect it to come to this point.

"My lord, but I have an order, and my subordinates will not hesitate to die." Mi Zhu cupped his hands.

"Zi Zhong, you two and this Marquis are one family. Don't tell others what Ben Marquis said today." Lu Bu said: "The princes want to jointly attack Bingzhou. A big loss, but the strength of the princes is not comparable to that of the past, what I want you to do is to hold another chamber of commerce, it is best to gather the merchants who rule the land, and do your best to hoard food and grass for Bingzhou."

"Here." Mi Zhu cupped his hands, and at the same time felt the great responsibility. If the feudal lords break through Bingzhou, the Mi family will become a thing of the past. Since entering Bingzhou, the Mi family has been closely united with Lu Bu. It can be said that Everything is damaged, and for Bingzhou, the Mi family has paid a lot. He cannot tolerate the current situation of Bingzhou being destroyed.

"A soldier needs three shi of grain and grass a month, and a war horse needs six shi. A 100,000 army plus horses needs at least 400,000 shi of grain and grass a month. This Marquis wants you to stockpile at least Bingzhou before the princes attack Bingzhou Three million stones, grain and grass." Lu Bu said.

"Here." Mi Zhu cupped his hands and said, "Your subordinates will do their best."

"It's not about doing our best, but for sure. I don't want the soldiers in the army to starve to death because they don't have food." Lu Bu said, "It's best to get the food from the princes."

Once the war starts with the allied forces of the princes, the war is likely to be long-lasting. At that time, the princes will be extremely strict in the control of food and grass. It will be very difficult to get food and grass from the families under the rule of the princes when the war starts. thing.

Mi Zhu bowed his hands and said yes.

"Zi Fang, you have been in charge of the Zhenyuan Escort in recent years, and it's been hard work." Lu Bu turned his attention to Mi Fang.

Mi Fang's tone was a little excited: "My lord, for the matter of Bingzhou,

A humble job is willing to go through fire and water. "

Historically, Mi Fang once betrayed the Kingdom of Shu. However, Lu Bu trusted Mi Fang very much. He believed that Mi Fang would not have any dissent after seeing the strength of Bingzhou. The reason for her betrayal was unavoidable.

"The Zhenyuan Escort can be stopped when the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce is over. There is no need to send the soldiers of the Escort to various places, and Hou Zifang will be responsible for training these soldiers for other purposes." Lu Bu said.

"Here." Mi Fang felt that the blood was surging. He is a military commander and yearns for the battlefield. Even after being in charge of the Zhenyuan Escort for these years, he has not lost his martial arts skills. Now the Zhenyuan Escort has eight thousand guards. People, compared to the Bingzhou Army, these guards are not weak at all. They travel all the year round, and they have experienced many battles. With a little training, they will be a powerful army. What Lu Bu needs is not only the transformation of these guards into soldiers , but put Mi Fang in charge of training an army capable of fighting cavalry.

"After the two of you go back, act carefully and don't leak the news." Lu Bu said.

After the two left, Lu Bu looked at the topographic map in the study and fell into deep thought. It is undeniable that the Bingzhou Army has expanded rapidly over the years. From the initial Bingzhou, it now has Youzhou, Hanoi, Hedong, Chang'an, etc. The hardships in the land are unknown to outsiders, and Lu Bu participated in most of the battles.

"Anyone who wants to destroy my lord should be killed!" Lu Bu slapped the table and stood up.

It was already late at night when they returned to the Hou's Mansion, but the girls did not rest. During the day they got the news that Lu Bu had returned to Jinyang. However, after Lu Bu entered the city, he stayed in the State Shepherd's Mansion.

The five daughters are all thoughtful people, and they understand that something important must have happened in Bingzhou.

Lu Bu was also slightly taken aback after entering the mansion, but saw that the mansion had already prepared food and wine.

"Husband." Seeing Lu Bu coming in, the five people hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Madam, please hurry up. I have been delayed in the State Shepherd's Mansion for my husband's business. I didn't expect the five ladies to wait for my husband. Okay." Lu Bu laughed loudly, and when he returned to the Hou's Mansion, the breath of home came over his face. , and gradually relaxed his mind after a busy day.

The banquet was lively, and Lu Bu would tell some stories about the journey from time to time, which made the girls laugh.

Lying on the bed, feeling the tenderness of Yan Lan in his arms, Lu Bu couldn't fall asleep, and his thoughts inevitably returned to the situation in Bingzhou.

In fact, the most difficult thing for Lu Bu is that Sun Ce actually participated in this matter. Although Jia Xu's analysis is very reasonable, after occupying Chang'an, he can directly threaten Jiangdong after the Bingzhou Army captures Yizhou, but Lu Bu still has some difficulties. relieved.
