There is enough Li Pu's travel, starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 89 Welcome Ceremony
The army had a carnival for three days, and the officials in Xuzhou also made some changes during these three days.

Ju Shou has been in the army for a long time and can prepare supplies according to the needs of the army.

Today, apart from Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou, the north is Cao Cao's Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

If Cao Cao is defeated, then the unification of the north and the unification of China will be much easier.

But Cao Cao is not Liu Bei. Liu Bei has only been in Xuzhou for two or three years, and he has been preparing for the battle for a long time. He has no time to develop other things, and his background is very thin.

But Cao Cao was different. Cao Cao conquered Yingchuan's aristocratic family and obtained a lot of grassroots management talents.

The various prefectures and counties also developed well. Through the war between Jingzhou and Sun Ce, they occupied Jiujiang County in Yangzhou.

Yangzhou was originally a prosperous place. After Cao Cao occupied it, he developed commerce and paid attention to agriculture and mulberry. In just half a year, Jiujiang returned to its former prosperity, and there was an endless stream of cars, horses, boats and boats.

And if you want to crusade Cao Cao, you can't be as casual as crusade against Liu Bei.

This is also why Li Pu took advantage of Cao Cao's occupation of territory to fight Liu Bei, instead of taking advantage of Liu Bei's time to take over Xuzhou to fight Cao Cao.

Because beating Cao Cao is likely to be futile, while beating Liu Bei is a sure win.

When fighting Cao Cao, the major families in Xuzhou could work together to resist Cao Cao, because after Cao Cao entered Xuzhou, he started to kill.

These noble families naturally resisted desperately, but when Li Pu came, not only did Li Pu not kill the people, he did not even rob them, and Han Fu dominated the four continents.

In this world, this is the teacher of the king. Naturally, the major families will not go all out to resist Li Pu. The only contribution is the Mi family who invested in Liu Bei.

Cao Cao's foundation is much more stable than Liu Bei's, and it is natural to make plans to fight Cao Cao and then move.

Ju Shou's proposal was to train a [-]-strong army in Xuzhou, attack Runan directly from Pengcheng, and cut off Cao Cao's control over Runan and Jiujiang.

Zhao Yun led an army of [-] troops from Ganling, Qinghe County, to attack Dong County, watching Chenliu.

Zhang He led an army of [-] to cross the river from Sili Hanoi to threaten Yingchuan and Xuchang.

Runan and Jiujiang are Cao Cao's money bags. Once these two places are lost, it will not only be a blow to Cao Cao's money, but also Cao Cao will not be able to use Jiujiang's fast waterway to transport various materials.

Dongjun is the place where Cao Cao started his career. Although it is said that Cao Cao started his army in Chenliu, his first territory was Dongjun in Yanzhou.

Zhang He's journey is to involve Cao Cao's forces, so that Xuchang is always under the threat of the army, and Cao Cao has to send troops to guard the banks of the Yellow River.

Now if you want to fight Cao Cao, the Yellow River is a natural moat between the two, and the only place that can bypass the Yellow River is Xuzhou.

It can be said that the other two routes are just auxiliary, the only one that can pose a huge threat to Cao Cao is the Xuzhou army.

Therefore, Li Puliu was assigned to Xuzhou to train the army.

Today, it is impossible to defeat Cao Cao with only [-] to [-] Fali army.

So after the three-day carnival, Li Pu left behind an army of [-] destroyers in Xuzhou, and returned to Jizhou with the remaining soldiers.

Along the way, Lai Wen frowned and looked at Zhuge Liang, who was reading a book in high spirits behind him.

However, in January, Zhuge Liang obviously gained some muscles, and the bookishness gradually subsided, replaced by a heroic spirit.

With strong muscles and that face, Zhuge Liang looked like Zhao Yun.

Li Pu was very satisfied. During this month, Zhuge Liang approached Li Pu several times.

They are all asking for some rare books or something, and there is no mention of suffering and tiredness.

Looking at his contented appearance now, it seems that the training these days has not put him down.

"Look at you! What does a bitter face look like! Those who don't know think we've lost the battle, you shameless bastard!"

Li Pu scolded Lai Wen a few words, and Lai Wen put away the bitterness on his face after hearing it.

The army is like a long dragon, advancing towards Jizhou.

What worried Li Pu this time did not happen. Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and Cheng Yu to confront Zhao Yun in Dongjun, and did not attack Jizhou.

On the contrary, there were many more spies.

Now that the crusade against Liu Bei has just been completed, the troops and horses are exhausted, and the food and grass are almost consumed. In fact, the food and grass consumed by the army each time they go out are not much, but the biggest consumption is the consumption of the troops.

Now it is impossible to continue the attack for a short time, and can only go back to Jizhou to recuperate for a while.

In front of Yecheng Gate, Han Fu brought his singing and dancing team to celebrate the returning soldiers.

Almost all the people of Ye City went out of the city to welcome the return of the army, and even lined up ten miles away.

The people were all beaming, watching Han Fu personally take Li Pu's hand and come to the gate of Yecheng.

After Han Fu and Li Pu chatted for a while, they poured wine for the returning soldiers one by one.

The posture is very full, and in front of the people of Yecheng, he shows the suitability of monarchs and ministers.

"Unparalleled labor and expedition, hard work and great achievements, please drink this cup!"

Han Fu finished his belly after a glass of wine.

Seeing this, Li Pu also took a sip.

"After all the hardships, and now returning victorious, this cup congratulates all the soldiers!"

Han Fu took another cup.

Li Pu felt something was wrong, but he still drank it.

"This cup congratulates the general!"

Han Fu then poured the wine and drank it in one gulp.

"To put things right, Wang Hua, this cup congratulates the people of Xuzhou."

Another cup to eat.

After drinking dozens of glasses in a row, Han Fu fell drunk on the road.

This wine was drank from morning to noon, Han Fu finished his toasts and all, and then he drank non-stop.

Li Pu could see that Han Fu just wanted to drink.

Xu You, who pulled him aside, asked.

"Master, how long has it been since you had a drink?"

"I don't know, the general. Since the general entered Jizhou five days ago, the lord has not been drinking. He said that he wanted to congratulate the general.

Good guy, I didn't drink for five days, but Li Pu returned with the army today, and Han Fu was bound to greet him.

Unexpectedly, after drinking the first drink, I became addicted to alcohol, and then I couldn't stop.

"Someone, send the lord back to the mansion to rest."

A few people ran out from behind, and hurriedly helped Han Fu to the carriage on the side and pulled him back to the mansion.

The city entry ceremony ended in such an anticlimactic manner.

After returning to Jizhou, Zhuge Liang has been learning martial arts from Lai Wen, and sometimes Li Pu will teach some himself.

Every afternoon, Zhuge Liang would read all kinds of books by himself, covering astronomy, geography, history and military affairs.

Li Pu also did his best to get it for him. What reassured Li Pu was that Zhuge Liang didn't seem to need any famous teacher's guidance.
