Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 409 Preparing for War (for Subscription)

The case of Dong Cheng finally came to an end, and at the same time, the civil and military officials also breathed a sigh of relief, and they also had a deeper understanding of Lu Bu's domineering behavior.

Grain, grass and supplies in the four prefectures of Hebei began to be dispatched frequently, and Cao Cao in Yanzhou was also actively preparing for the battle. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the next battle was between Lu Bu and Cao Cao.

"My lord, the food and grass accounts of various places have been released, which can completely support a battle of the world."

"Weapons and armor are also distributed to each army."

"My lord, the conscription quota is already full. With our food and grass, plus the harvest after this year's autumn harvest, we can fully support the deployment of 50 troops for a year."

The civil servants in the general's mansion reported frequently, and Lu Bu's frowning brows finally relaxed when he heard it, and the officials under his command also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it.

Since Dong Cheng's incident, the general's daily indifferent expression weighed heavily on their hearts, fearing that a lord who accidentally offended them would be implicated.

"Okay, officials from all over the world are ready for this year's battle. This time, they will not only take down Cao Cao, but if there is a chance!"

When he said this, Lu Bu's eyes were full of raging fire called ambition. After so long preparation, it was finally about to start. At the same time, Liu Bian's face echoed in his mind.

Liu Bian!They are about to meet, or in other words, the two of them are about to collide with each other and compete completely.

Seeing that Lu Bu's mood improved, Guo Jia smiled and said: "My lord, the Yuedan Review should be held as scheduled. Otherwise, the thousands of scholars who stayed in Yecheng might lose hope."

After hearing this, Lu Bu nodded lightly, "Okay, the selection of talents in the recruiting hall should be handed over to the public platform, review and assignment, and Fengxian will cooperate together."

promise!
"By the way, how is Sima Fang doing recently?"

After hearing Lu Bu's question, Guo Jia pursed his lips amusedly, and said with a confident smile: "After this incident, Sima Fang has already closed the door to thank guests, which is quite ordinary."

At this moment, I didn't know what to think of, Guo Jia even smiled slightly: "But Sima Yi and Yang Xiu are also signing up at the Recruitment Hall."

"Okay, as long as there are talented people, I will not let anyone go, no matter if they are from aristocratic or poor families."

promise!
All the officials under Lu Bu's command agreed with Lu Bu's decision, and they didn't dare to resist. Besides, the family's monopoly on official careers has long been a thing of the past.

Both the Sima family and the Yang family were well-known families, and Lu Bu didn't plan to pursue the two families so well.

The battle of Lu Cao is coming soon, but the state of the world will not wait for the two to decide the winner. Li Yuanji of Chang'an has led his troops to attack Hanzhong after spring plowing.

And Liu Bian's 15 troops had already confronted Liu Biao in Jingzhou. It was almost a small stand every three days and a big battle every five days. The world was full of wars.

But Lu Bu is waiting, waiting for the recruiting hall to recruit talented scholars from all over the world. After the school examination is over, the list is posted outside the recruiting hall, and his articles are completely transparent, so that all scholars who come to the school can read To see why the talents of the selected people are better than them, it also proves that there is no theory of cheating.

During this period of time, civil and military officials have been busy. The civil officials are either mobilizing food and grass, preparing ordnance, or reviewing scholars from the recruitment hall.

And almost all the generals lived in the barracks, training soldiers and horses every day to prepare for battle.

"My lord, Youzhou's dispatch of [-] soldiers and horses is enough. After all, Bingzhou has recruited [-] troops this time."

In the study room at night, Lu Bu listened to Guo Jia's report, and suddenly said: "Bingzhou's soldiers and horses can go straight to the front line after leaving Huguan, you can take it slow, and Youzhou's deployment of [-] is enough."

"As for those in Qingzhou, they used a pretense to dispatch an army of [-]. Once the war broke out, Yang Lin would directly lead the army to attack Xuzhou. Cao Cao would not be able to care about each other."

promise!
Seeing the soldiers dispatched by Lv Bu, Guo Jia hesitated a bit. After hesitating for a moment, he asked tentatively, "My lord, is there too much conscription this time, and there is a large army going out!"

When Guo Jia said this, he already suspected that his lord's ambition could not be satisfied by a Cao Cao. With so many soldiers and horses recruited, it was obvious that once the battle went well, his lord might start another war.

The fact is just like Guo Jia's conjecture, Lu Bu sneered and said, "By taking advantage of this wind to pacify Cao Cao, the general might be able to take Yangzhou, and Liu Bian will be completely trapped in Jiangdong."

Hearing Lu Bu's words finally confirmed what he thought in his heart, but Guo Jia still advised solemnly: "My lord, although Yanzhou and Xuzhou have suffered from wars, Cao Cao's ability is unquestionable. If he is transferred to another place, I am afraid that this person will be even better. .”

"My lord, we should take every step of the way. If we defeat Cao, we must digest Yanzhou and Xuzhou first. As for Yangzhou, if Liu Bian attacks Yuan Shu and is too busy to take care of himself, we can also use this to send troops."

Regarding Guo Jia's admonition, Lu Bu also understood in his heart that if he took too many steps, it would easily cause problems, so he shook his head with a smile on his face, "This is just a momentary fantasy of the general, then Cao Cao is probably a hard nut to crack. Let’s do a good job this time.”

After the words "protracted war" fell into Guo Jia's ears, he finally understood his master's plan. The army went out for a protracted war together, but the defenses at the Bingzhou and Youzhou borders were weak.

But this time, so many soldiers and horses have been recruited, and it can be said that they will remain unchanged and respond to all changes.

"I have to say that Cao Cao is a hero. He is still rising in the weak place of the Four Wars, but he is a hero. It's a pity that he met you, my lord."

Guo Jia's face was full of confidence when he said this, "Cao Cao will be defeated by the lord if we fight together, it's just a matter of time."

First he boasted, and then Guo Jia chuckled, and said softly, "If I were Cao Cao, I would have to stalemate the battlefield first, and then look for opportunities. After all, Cao Cao has not many troops and cannot sustain a protracted war."

Lu Bu heard Guo Jia's implication, and pointed at Guo Jia and shook his head amusedly, "Feng Xiao, you mean that Cao Cao might attack Liang Dao."

Seeing that Lu Bu was so straightforward, Guo Jia laughed dryly, "My lord, Cao Cao is no match for my lord in terms of military strength, background, territory, generals, food and grass, popularity, so only surprise troops have a chance of winning." .”

"Haha~ Fengxiao, Fengxiao, when did you learn the art of Wenhe?"

Shaking his head and looking at his confidant counselor in a funny way, Lu Bu was full of satisfaction in his heart. Yes, so many people under his command did their best to help.

This is not the first time, Jia Xu, Chen Gong, Di Renjie and even Tian Feng who is far away in Qingzhou have exchanged letters and exhorted them.

It's just that everyone expresses it in a different way. After thinking about this, Lu Bu looked at the bamboo slips in the corner of the desk without any trace. It was from Tian Feng in Qingzhou.

However, the words were full of rigidity and bluntness, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a little headache every time it sounded, Tian Feng, how could he give such admonishment.

Among all the people, only Chen Gong and Tian Feng said bluntly that if our army fails in the way of grain, they even bluntly stated the state of the world. If we lose this battle, the situation in the world may change.
