The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 105 Lack of Equipment and Poor Training
As Xun You expected, Lu Bu went directly to Pengcheng after entering Xuzhou instead of returning to Xiapi.

Two thousand soldiers led by Zang Ba were stationed outside the city.

The people they escorted have entered the city.

In addition, family members of the Qingzhou Army came one after another.

After the Battle of Xiapi, Pengcheng, which was slaughtered by Cao Cao, once became a place of death.

There are 34 people who migrated from Qingzhou and Mount Tai.

With the influx of people, Pengcheng, which was once dead, was revived.

Chen Gong came here and allocated houses in the city to immigrants, but there were still many people who could not settle down.

Immigrants have only just arrived in one place, many things have not yet been carried out, and more people have nothing to do.

When people are free, they always find something to do.

On the streets of Pengcheng, fights, robberies and other things happened almost every day.

Even when some pretty women go out with the company of their families, they will meet idlers who come forward to provoke them.

Leading an army of [-], Lu Bu came many days later than Chen Gong.

The army was approaching outside the city, and Zang Ba was the first to greet him when he got the news.

Seeing Lu Bu from a distance, Zang Ba urged his horse to go fast.

When he came to him, he greeted Lu Bu, "I've seen you Wen."

"Xuan Gao came earlier than me." Lu Bu smiled back, "How many days have you been here? Have you entered the city yet?"

"It's been three or four days." Zang Ba replied, "Chen Gongtai is not allowed to enter the city, so it is still stationed outside the city."

"So is Gongtai." Lu Bu said, "Xuan Gao is not an outsider, so how can he not let him enter the city?"

"We can't blame him." He and Chen Gong are also considered acquaintances, but Zang Ba can understand him: "He doesn't lead many defenders, if I have a second heart, how can he defend Pengcheng with his few people?"

Lu Bu laughed, "Xuan Gao was joking."

The scouts reported to Zang Ba long ago that Lu Bu had brought an army of tens of thousands of people.

With mental preparation, he was secretly surprised when he saw the crowd of soldiers and horses.

How long have you been to Mount Tai?Lu Bu actually brought back so many soldiers and horses.

If he has enough opportunities to develop, it is unknown how strong he will be.

Zang Ba glanced at the army behind Lv Bu: "Wen Hou didn't go to Taishan for many days, but he brought back so many soldiers and horses. In a short time, Xuzhou will definitely become one of the most powerful places in the Central Plains."

"There are indeed a lot of soldiers and horses, but they are neglected to practice." Lu Bu said: "The weapons and armor are old. When soldiers go to the battlefield, they just send their heads to be chopped off by the enemy. The most terrible thing is the large number of people and poor quality. of."

"General Sun sent someone to send a letter saying that General Gao has arrived in Qingzhou." Zang Ba said: "With General Gao here, it won't be long before Wenhou has a large army available."

Zang Ba accompanied Lu Bu to Pengzheng.

Chen Gong also brought a group of officials to the city gate to wait.

Seeing Lu Bu from a distance, Chen Gong led the crowd to meet him quickly.

Seeing the army behind Lu Bu, the officials all stared in astonishment.

Not long ago, Xuzhou was short of soldiers and food.

Although there is not much money and food reserves now, it is not so stretched after all.

Especially the military.

A few days ago, there were only a few thousand soldiers in Xuzhou, but now there are endless numbers of soldiers and horses.

Many officials even suspected that Lu Bu was still in a dream when welcoming Lu Bu who led the army.

After meeting with Chen Gong, Lu Bu asked, "How does Gongtai settle the people?"

"Marquis Wen sent too many people." Chen Gong replied, "Pengcheng didn't have that many people when it was at its peak..."

"That means you haven't settled down yet?" Lu Bu interrupted him.

"It's really impossible to settle down in the city." Chen Gong replied, "I plan to send some people out of the city and let them build villages to open up wasteland and cultivate land."

"It coincides with what I thought." Lu Bu asked, "I wonder if the public platform has been arranged?"

"Not yet." Chen Gong said: "Opening up wasteland and cultivating land involves too much, we have to find a safe way."

"It's a good thing not to send people out." Lu Bu said: "It is necessary to open up wasteland and cultivate land. Pengcheng is much bigger than Xiapi. I don't want this to become a city just for living and for merchants to come and go."

Most of the functions of the city are residence and business contacts.

Government decrees are also issued from the city.

There are foreign enemies attacking, and the city still has the responsibility of defending against the enemy.

But the meaning revealed in Lu Bu's words is to open up other functions of the city.

"What is Marquis Wen planning to do in the city?" Chen Gong asked as he accompanied Lu Bu to the city gate.

"Look at the soldiers and horses I brought." Lu Bu turned his head.

Chen Gong cast his eyes on the [-] Qingzhou Army: "Wen Hou went to Mount Tai, and really brought the Qingzhou Army here. They are mighty and majestic, with a large number of people..."

"What I want you to see is not these, but what are the shortcomings of the Qingzhou Army." Lu Bu interrupted him.

"Originally, I planned to talk about the disadvantages, but I was worried that Wenhou would be unhappy if he heard it." Chen Gong said: "Although the Qingzhou Army has a large number of people, the ranks are scattered and the armor is old. Many soldiers' armors are actually covered with white mold. , Most of their weapons are also rusty. To be honest, I don’t like bringing such a large army into battle.”

"With their current state, I don't dare to expect to win the battle." Lu Bu changed the topic: "Has Xiahou Dun left?"

"I left a long time ago." Chen Gong replied: "Wenhou didn't ask me, but I was planning to say that a spies reported that something happened to Xu Du."

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong.

"Dong Cheng contacted a group of people in an attempt to kill Cao Cao, but unexpectedly, Cao Cao seized the handle." Chen Gong said: "It is said that Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and others were taken to the market to be executed. Even the people around His Majesty Concubine Dong also..."

Clothes order!
When Chen Gong mentioned that Dong Cheng and others were killed, Lu Bu immediately reacted.

When he went to Xudu, Dong Cheng thought about trying to win him over.

At that time, Lu Bu not only did not give Dong Cheng a chance, but instead got seven dancers from him.

"How is Dong Cheng's family?" Lu Bu asked, "I mean the actress Mei Ji he raised."

"If not one is left, all will be killed." Chen Gong said, "How could Cao Cao leave even half of the Dong family alive after doing such a thing?"

Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, if he had been "serious" at that time and had resolutely rejected the seven beauties, they would have passed away as well.

"Cao Cao must be furious after these things happened." Lu Bu said, "He will send people over soon, asking us to attack Huainan."

"What is Marquis Wen going to do?" Chen Gong asked.

"Huainan wants to fight, but it can't be fought so smoothly." Lu Bu said: "Our fangs are still very young, and we don't have the ability to counter the Cao family. Showing our strength too early will only lead to death. The slower we advance , on the contrary, the more chances of surviving."

"Go to the city!" He greeted Chen Gong: "I have to do some things, the economy is not good, the technology is not good, and there is only an army with outdated equipment and lack of training, we will still fall into a passive situation."
