Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 7 Horseshoes

Two days later, there were a few more people in the Council Hall of Pengcheng Prefect's Mansion than before.

Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng and Wei Yue.

If Lu Bu's original plan was to attack Peicheng by force, then both Wei Xu and Song Xian, who stayed behind in Xiapi, should be there.

After getting the solution from Lin Mona, he didn't make a decision hastily, but first asked Chen Gong if he had any countermeasures.

the answer is negative.

This made Lu Bu firm in his son-in-law's mind and gave it a go.

"Liu Bei was ungrateful and secretly informed Cao Cao to plan Xuzhou. I have made up my mind, and I sent my teacher to Peicheng to behead the big-eared thief with my own hands!"

"Please use the Marquis Wen!"

Regarding this decision, except for Chen Gong's uneasy brow, everyone present was not surprised, and Chen Deng was even secretly happy.

"Wen Yuan, Bo Ping!"

"The end is here!"

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun came out to bow to each other.

"Let the two of you lead the Xiaoqi battalion and the trapped camp as the vanguard, set off at the tenth day of the lunar new year, and go to the outside of Peicheng to set up camp first, and I will lead the army to follow."

"Here!"

"Zichu, Fangzheng!"

"The end is here!"

Hao Meng and Cheng Lian stood up.

"I'll assign four thousand soldiers to you and stay in Pengcheng!"

"Here!"

After arranging everything properly, Lu Bu waved his hand, and everyone in the hall bowed and bid farewell.

Chen Gong did not leave, and Chen Deng, who was about to leave, chose to stay after seeing this.

"Marquis Wen, Peicheng is certainly not a fortified city, but it will take at least half a month to attack by force. Why do the army have to wait five days later? If Cao Cao intervenes."

Facing Chen Gong's question, Lu Bu didn't care much, "The grain and grass in Pengcheng is not enough to support the army for a long time to fight. Two days ago, I asked Wenyuan to send a fast horse to inform Wei Xu, asking him to transfer grain and grass here from Xiapi."

No one knows Xuzhou's money, grain, taxes, soldiers and equipment better than Chen Gong, who is the governor of Xuzhou.

He knew very well that there were still [-] shi of food stored in Pengcheng, enough to support the army for a month.

Before he could continue to speak, Chen Deng said first, "That's fine, it will take a few days for me to raise food and grass."

"Thank you Yuanlong."

Lu Bu nodded, waved his hand and said, "If there is nothing else, let's step back first."

"Here."

Chen Gong and Chen Deng looked at each other, bowed and left.

Looking at Chen Deng's back, Lu Bu's eyes flashed fiercely, it seems that he does have a problem.

In terms of playing tricks, Lu Bu may not be able to compare with Chen Deng's fingers.

It can be said that when it comes to marching and fighting, Lu Bu, who has many years of experience, can tell all the details like a treasure.

As for the transportation of food, as long as it is enough to support the front line for ten days, there will be no problems in the follow-up. His attitude just now is obviously wishing that he could wait for a few more days.

This situation made Lu Bu feel happy and angry. He was happy because everything was exactly as Lin Mo said, and he was angry because he felt that he had treated Chen Deng well enough, but he still couldn't accept his heart.

"Who are you looking for?"

Hearing a knock on the door, after opening the door, in front of him was a refined man in his early twenties.

"I'm going to Lu Su Lu Zijing, I'm looking for Lin Yunwen."

Lu Su's appearance has nothing to do with being handsome, but he has a sense of intimacy when he smiles.

"It turned out to be brother Zijing, and next to me is Lin Mo. I have heard for a long time that brother Zijing is generous and generous, and he is a heroic man. Please come in quickly."

Here in Xuzhou, Lu Su was indeed quite famous, so he didn't think Lin Mo was flattering him, so he naturally followed him into the inner hall.

After the tea was served, Lu Su straight to the point, "Ling Yue is familiar with my father, you and I don't need to see each other, if you need my help, just ask."

"Does the Lu family have an iron shop?"

"some."

"I want to use your iron shop to make some ironware." Lin Mo didn't hide it either.

"It's that simple?"

Lu Su looked at Lin Mo in surprise. There are also many blacksmith shops opened by the common people in Pengcheng. He didn't understand why he had to come to him for such a thing.

"Yes, it's that simple."

After getting an affirmative answer, Lu Su nodded and said, "Then Yunwen will come home with me."

After drinking two sips of tea, the two got up and went out.

In fact, since time travelling, Lin Mo has rarely gone out, except for daily purchases of food and supplies, he has almost never left home.

After passing through the usual shopping street, the flow of people became denser, and there were more shops around. Even there were more shopkeepers walking the street than Pingfu Street.

Since Emperor Gaozu established the dynasty, Pengcheng has served as the seat of the six counties of Xuzhou. It has been hundreds of years since it has been here, and its prosperity is not inferior to any other city.

Being in the bustling market, Lin Mo seemed to have a sense of belonging.

However, as the flow of people became denser, more and more refugees appeared.

Dressed in rags, they leaned against the side of the alleyway in twos and threes, with a bowl full of gaps in front of them, and they made a gesture symbolizing begging, with pleading written on their faces.

"Since Cao Cao slaughtered the three counties, there have been more refugees in Pengcheng."

Noticing that Lin Mo's eyes kept scanning these refugees, he took the initiative to explain, "Actually, they are lucky that they didn't die under Cao Jun's butcher's knife."

Lin Mo suddenly stopped, looking at an old man who was struggling to raise his skinny hands, and beside him was a four or five year old child who was sobbing and crying.

He sighed, took out a string of five baht coins from his pocket and put them in their bowls.

"Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor"

Lin Mo didn't stop, but Lu Su couldn't help but take another look at him. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu, who had countless souls under his hands, found a son-in-law with a great heart.

"Too many, you can't help so many people."

"Some things, when I see them, I can't ignore them."

The desire to survive in the child's eyes stung him.

Of course, it is impossible for Lin Mo to rescue all the refugees. In fact, most of these refugees on the street are old, weak, sick, and healthy.

The land they merged needs people to cultivate, and the refugees who escaped from the tiger's mouth also need a chance to survive, so this kind of oppressive survival mode appeared.

Both sides seem happy to see it happen.

"Yunwen, there is one thing I don't quite understand. If you really just want to make some ironware, you can find places everywhere on the street, why did you find me?"

What happened just now made Lu Su interested in Lin Mo who was a few years younger than him.

"Young chivalry, befriend Wu Duxiong."

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Is this reason enough?"

The young man was chivalrous, making friends with Lu Su, the hero of the five capitals. He murmured and repeated a few words, and then unconsciously laughed along with him.

Literati are the most important character, and it is something to be proud of to be admired and make friends with.

He didn't have a good impression of Lu Bu, but because of his status in Xuzhou, he reluctantly came to find Lin Mo.

After getting along for a short time, Lu Su discovered that Lin Mo was warm-hearted and talented, completely different from Lu Bu who only knew how to stab his adoptive father with Fang Tian's painting halberd.

Perhaps because of this, Lu Bu wanted me to conceal his identity?

Soon, the two arrived at Lu's house.

Before coming here, Lin Mo had imagined that the Lu family's mansion should be very large, but the scale inside still made him speechless.

The Lu family has more than 30 serfs and [-] soldiers. The mansion not only has a mountain of granaries, but also an armory and iron smelting room. What shocked Lin Mo the most was that there were more than [-] war horses.

Damn, the family is a big dog!

It's no wonder that during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, all the government offices were burned, but it was rare to hear any damage to the powerful families.

"Yunwen, just tell him the ironware you want to make."

When he came to the iron smelting room, Lu Su pointed to a rough man with a bare upper body and said.

After Lin Mo took out the design drawing of the horseshoe, the man turned his head and looked up and down, not sure what it was.

"You don't have to know what it is, just do it."

With Lu Su's approval, the man didn't say much, and after taking the blueprints, he began to conceive how to do it.

Lin Mo did not leave immediately, and followed Lu Su to the garden in the backyard to drink tea.

"Yunwen, I've never seen what exactly you want to build." Pushing the boiled tea in front of Lin Mo, Lu Su asked with great interest.

"Just now I saw that there are dozens of war horses in the stables of your house. Brother Zijing, do you know how long these war horses can usually be ridden?"

Lu Su was a little surprised, didn't I ask you, why did you still test me.
