The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 393

Lu Bu promised to take the people to the coal mine early the next morning, and Guo Tu and Cui Yan had no reason to delay any longer.

The two chatted with him for a while, then said goodbye and went back.

Lu Su did not accompany them to leave, but stayed in the front hall.

"I didn't drink the tea prepared by others, so they are." Lu Bu stood up and greeted Lu Su and Sun Ce: "Zijing, Bofu, follow me to the study to talk."

"It's getting late, and we have to take them to the coal mine tomorrow." Sun Ce said, "Let's forget about talking, I think that after Zijing reports to Chuhou what should be said, Chuhou can rest. "

"What Bo Fu said is really true." Lu Bu nodded, and said to Sun Ce: "Since Bo Fu thinks I should rest earlier, then go to the study to listen to Zi Jing's report, and we will go back to rest."

Lu Su and Sun Ce accompanied Lu Bu out of the front hall and into the back garden to the study.

Lu Bu asked Lu Su, "Have you inspected all the armor? Are there any defects or poor quality?"

"Thirty thousand sets of armor are quite a lot." Lu Su replied: "After the treasury has been counted, there are dozens more sets, and none of them are shoddy."

"It seems that Yuan Shao has shown his sincerity." Lu Bu nodded, "For him, coal is indeed more important than anything else."

"I accompanied Chuhou to the coal mine today. There is indeed a lot of coal stored there." Sun Ce asked Lu Bu, "Could it be that Chuhou really wants to send all the coal to Yuan Shao?"

"There's a lot of coal?" Lu Bu chuckled, lowered his voice and said to Sun Ce, "Bo Fu has been to coal mines so many times, can't he even tell the difference between gangue and coal?"

When asked by Lu Bu, Sun Ce was stunned for a moment: "The meaning of Chuhou is..."

"There is only half of the coal there." Lu Bu replied, "If the amount of coal is used, it will definitely not be able to match the armor Yuan Shao sent. I let people mix half of the black gangue in the coal. If you want to say black gangue, it is the same as the armor that Yuan Shao sent. Coal looks imaginative, but they are difficult to burn. Even if gangue can be burned, the heat generated is not as good as charcoal. Yuan Shao seems to have picked up a big deal this time, but in fact he has lost a lot."

"What if Yuan Shao sees how Marquis Chu is doing this?" Lu Su was honest after all, and he asked Lu Bu in astonishment.

"I'm not an expert, and I can't tell the difference between coal and black gangue." Lu Bu said, "The surface of black gangue is frizzy, and the cut surface is not reflective after cutting. Although they look like coal, they are actually just stones. As for the coal, it needs to be in large pieces. After cutting it, you can see the bright reflection inside. This is the result of the carbonization of the trees buried in the soil hundreds of millions of years ago. Although they have been carbonized over time, they are still wood. How can it be the same as the black gangue that is originally a stone?"

"I probably understand what the Marquis of Chu means." Sun Ce nodded thoughtfully, "Yuan Shao wanted more coal to forge better weapons, so the Marquis of Chu added some stones to the coal for him. Yuan Shao The people under him don't know the difference between coal and those stones. They will use these coals mixed with stones to extract coke. Coke like this is used in forging, and it is impossible to forge the forged with pure coke Excellent sword."

"That's what I meant." Lu Bu smiled slightly and nodded, "Bo Fu and I have been living together for a long time, and I really understand more things than before."

"Isn't it all about Chu Hou's precepts and deeds!" Sun Ce replied, and then asked Lu Bu: "Chu Hou is not worried that Yuan Shao can't forge better weapons with those coals, so he will send someone to question him?"

"Interrogation?" Lu Ju said with an innocent face: "If he sends someone to question, I have something to say. The coal is buried in the ground, and no one knows what the quality will be when it comes out next time. He was unlucky and caught up with the quality." Can you blame me for the worst ones?"

When Lu Bu said this, both Lu Su and Sun Ce had black lines all over their heads.

They were worried before that if Lu Bu gave Yuan Shao the coal, Hebei would forge better weapons in the future, which would be detrimental to Xuzhou sooner or later.

Now it seems that this kind of worry is completely unnecessary, and Lu Bu has already made a plan.

Accompanied by the two of them to the study, Lu Bu ordered the guards to bring them three cups of tea.

Picking up the tea bowl and taking a sip, Lu Bu said to Lu Su and Sun Ce: "Now the armor is enough, and the next step is to distribute the armor to the soldiers. When the soldiers who lack armor have protective gear, it's time for us to go to war." when."

"When is Marquis Chu planning to go on an expedition?" Sun Ce's eyes lit up when he mentioned the expedition.

Lu Bu said that it was not a day or two before they would go on an expedition. They were supposed to send troops to attack Cao Cao a few days ago, but there was something wrong with the armor of the lieutenant soldiers.

Now the armor obtained from Yuan Shao is enough to distribute to the soldiers, and the day of the expedition is getting closer.

"When I get rid of Guo Tu and Cui Yan." Lu Bu replied, "If they don't leave, we can't lead the army out of Pengcheng. I can't leave them here and lead the soldiers to attack Cao Cao. "

"I don't know what kind of results the Marquis of Chu intends to achieve in the campaign against Cao Cao?" Lu Su asked Lu Bu, and then said, "It's not that I want others to be ambitious. Cao Cao has managed Yuzhou and other places for many years, and his soldiers are also very elite. Two If the army encounters an encounter, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose, even if Chu Hou smashes Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, it will not be an easy task to completely destroy him."

"I never thought that I could completely destroy him." Lu Bu frowned slightly, and said to Lu Su: "In this expedition, I actually have only one goal, and that is to drive Cao Cao out of Xudu. Take away the current Majesty in his hands. Cao Cao can have today because he welcomed the Majesty and went to Xudu. Since then, he has been coercing the emperor to command the princes. If it is not for the name of His Majesty, how can he command the world? ? How could it be possible for some people to agree that he is the thigh of a big man?"

"What the Marquis of Chu said is true." Sun Ce said: "Cao Cao did his best for the big man back then, but over the years, his mind is no longer on recovering the big man, but thinking about how to get better in the troubled times." What a benefit. With a change of mind, Cao Cao has also changed from a vassal minister back then to a traitor today..."

"Han thief!" Lu Bu smiled and shook his head: "The great man is exhausted, and the imperial power has long since withered. Nowadays, all heroes in the world are under the banner of recovering the great man, but in fact, how many people really think so? Wang Yun and I Killing Dong Zhuo, Your Majesty treated me well. That's why I thought of rescuing Your Majesty from Cao Cao's hands. Letting His Majesty always rely on Cao Cao, as a courtier of a great man, I always feel uncomfortable."

"The Marquis of Chu has his heart attached to the great man, and he is indeed a good minister in this age." Sun Ce said: "If people in the world can spare no effort to do things for the great man like Chu Hou, why can't the world worry about being peaceful soon?"

"That's what I said." Lu Bu curled his lips: "When it comes to loyalty, I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who can compare to me."

When Lu Bu said these words, he was actually muttering in his heart.

The great Han Dynasty has long since fallen, and there are many heroes in the world. If you give your loyalty to a declining dynasty, it is better to use the name of this dynasty to strengthen yourself.

The emperor takes turns to do it, and this year it came to my house.

Who dares to say that as long as his strength expands to a certain level, he is not qualified to be an emperor?
Of course, it's okay to think about these words in your heart. Although the big man has declined now, the heroes in the world are still attacking each other under the banner of the big man.

If anyone, like Yuan Shu back then, proclaimed emperor rashly when he was not strong enough to replace the great Han, he would be condemned by all the people in the world.

Under the current situation, if you want to strengthen your own strength and make everyone in the world recognize you, the best way is to rescue the puppet emperor who is still in Xudu, and then bring him to Pengcheng...

Pengcheng was once the foundation chosen by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. After Han Wang Liu Bang won the world, he always adopted a suppressive attitude towards it, so that the later emperors of the Han Dynasty also adopted a policy of suppressing Pengcheng more than supporting it.

However, Lu Bu chose Pengcheng as his foothold.

In the future, once he really breaks through Xu Du, finds Liu Xie and brings him to Pengcheng, the most ironic scene will really unfold.

The place where Liu Bang tried his best to suppress it back then eventually became the foothold of the last emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Every time Lu Bu thinks of this, he feels very much looking forward to it.

Before he came to this era and seized the body of the number one fierce general in the late Han Dynasty, he didn't have a good impression of Liu Bang.

It is really interesting to be able to bring Liu Xie here and let the emperor of the Great Han declare to the world that Pengcheng is the capital of the Great Han...

Lv Bu killed Dong Zhuo back then, and later when Li Jue and Guo Si attacked Chang'an, he also led troops to defend the city, so he should not be unfamiliar with the Han emperor.

So he said in front of Sun Ce and Lu Su how loyal he was to the big man, which did not arouse the slightest suspicion from them.

After discussing with Sun Ce and Lu Su in the study for a while, the two left, and Lu Bu also went to Diao Chan's residence.

After all these things, it was really late.

When he came to Diao Chan's residence, Diao Chan had already fallen asleep.

The maid informed Diao Chan that when she heard that he was coming, Diao Chan hurriedly put on her clothes and came out to meet him.

Seeing Lu Bu, Diao Chan bowed and said, "Why is your husband so late?"

"A lot of things need to be dealt with." Lu Bu said, "It will be too late when everything is done."

"Go fetch hot water and wait for your husband to wash up." Diao Chan instructed the maid following behind.

One of the maids left in response, and Diao Chan accompanied Lu Bu into the room.

After entering the room, Diao Chan said to Lu Bu: "Your husband is always working hard every day, how can you always be like this? You must know that everyone in Xuzhou and Yangzhou is watching your husband. If your husband collapses from exhaustion, what can we do?" manage?"

"In troubled times, everyone is in danger. If I don't let myself get tired, others will find an opportunity to kill me." Lu Bu said, "With a physique like mine, I'm sure I won't die from being tired. When others are wiped out, there is really no chance to stand up."

Standing in the room facing Diao Chan, Lu Bu gently held her practice sword with both hands, stared into her eyes and said: "The battle of Xiapi back then, Madam and I also experienced it together. How much we lost at that time, Madam It's not that I don't know."

Mentioning the Battle of Xiapi, Diao Chan's face turned a little gloomy.

She lowered her head, avoiding Lu Bu's gaze, and said to him: "I understand what my husband said, but every time I see my husband working so hard, my heart..."

Having said that, Diao Chan didn't say any more.

Lu Bu smiled slightly, and said to Diao Chan: "It was because I was too slack back then that I thought I could sit back and relax with Xuzhou. However, in the troubled times, who dares to say that they can really live in peace? I won't provoke others, It doesn't mean that other people don't come to provoke me."

He lightly lifted Diao Chan's chin and made her raise her head again. Lu Bu continued, "I also want Madam to have more children for me. When they grow up, boys will conquer the world like me and be invincible. Girls will be like me." Madam is also beautiful and heavenly, enough to make Yaochi Xian'e ashamed to face it."

"What my husband said made me feel very uncomfortable." Diao Chan sighed leisurely: "Now my husband is getting younger, but my concubine is getting old day by day. One day, my old concubine will no longer be a concubine. Then How can you be a good match with your husband?"

"Of course they are a good match." Lu Bu said: "Everyone will grow old one day. Although I am young overnight, no one knows if I will be middle-aged again in a few years. At the beginning, I was older than my wife. It has grown quite a bit, but now it can grow old together with Madam."

With her cheek pressed against Lu Bu's chest, Diao Chan said softly, "I am already satisfied with my husband's words, and I dare not ask for anything else.":
While the couple were talking, the maid brought them water.

Holding Diao Chan's waist, Lu Bu put his lips against her earlobe and whispered, "I'll wash it up later, how about Madam help me wrap it up?"

When he said this, Diao Chan pursed his lips and said with a smile: "My mouth is not very big, why does my husband always have trouble with it? Every time I wrap it for my husband, I always feel pain on both cheeks... "

"It's because Madam's mouth is small, so it's interesting to wrap it up." Lu Bu chuckled, and said to Diaochan, "If you have a bloody mouth and swallow it in one gulp, wouldn't it be completely meaningless?"

"The concubine is wrapped up by the husband first, and when I really can't bear it, let the maid take over, what does the husband think?" Diao Chan said: "The husband is too brave, the concubine really can't bear it."

Lu Bu pretended to think about it for a while: "It's okay, but when it's serious, madam is not allowed to escape."

"It's my duty to serve my husband, so how can I escape." Diao Chan agreed first, and then ordered the maid: "Why don't you hurry up and serve your husband to wash?"

The two maids responded and undressed Lu Bu, and Diao Chan also helped Lu Bu take off his hair crown.
