Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies

After returning home from the cemetery, Sun Ce couldn't wait to take Zhou Yu to drink.

Today is Sun Jian's death day, so Sun Ce must not drink and have fun.

But when Zhou Yu came to the house, Sun Ce had to entertain him, so Zhou Yu was given wine, and Sun Ce drank water himself.

"Gongjin, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Sun Ce said with emotion, "Why did you come to Jiangdong suddenly?"

"Bo Fu, I feel that Yangzhou is going to be in chaos." Zhou Yu put down his glass and said.

Yangzhou straddles both banks of the Yangtze River, with the Huainan area on the north bank and the Jiangdong area on the south bank.

Zhou Yu's hometown is in Lujiang County in the north of Yangzhou. This time he crossed the south of the Yangtze River to find Sun Ce.

"What's going on?" Sun Ce couldn't help asking: "Although the Central Plains is in endless wars, the boundary of Yangzhou is still stable."

"Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou, and Liu Bei's group came to Huainan." Zhou Yu continued: "And Yangzhou Governor Chen Wen does not welcome Liu Bei and others."

Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, was Liu Yao's predecessor.

In history, after Yuan Shu entered Huainan and killed Chen Wen, the imperial court sent Liu Yao to take up the post of "051"

Now that Yuan Shu is still in Nanyang, Chen Wen is naturally living well.

"Why? I think Mr. Xuande is very good." Sun Ce didn't know the outside news.

"Unknown to Bofu, the emperor issued an edict denying Liu Bei's identity as a clan member of the Han family, and convicting Liu Bei for pretending to be a clan member of the Han family." Zhou Yu explained the situation, "Chen Wen is an official of the court, so naturally he must respect the emperor. The imperial edict will definitely not look good to Liu Bei."

"Unexpectedly, Liu Bei dared to pretend to be a relative of the Han family." Sun Ce didn't expect too much. Since it was the emperor's edict, there must be no mistakes, and the emperor would never mistake his relatives.

"It's not that simple..." Zhou Yu paused and smiled, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with us anyway."

"I came to you this time to discuss with you about raising troops." Zhou Yu continued: "I think that Chen Wenwen and Liu Bei may break out into war."

"When there is a fight on the north bank, the government will naturally have no time to worry about Jiangdong's side, so we can take advantage of the situation and raise troops."

The arrival of Liu Bei and others broke the calm situation in Yangzhou and gave Zhou Yu an opportunity to raise troops.

"But now I have no soldiers, no generals, and no money or food." Sun Ce looked embarrassed.

"Hehe." Zhou Yu said with a smile, "I have already moved all my family members to Wu County, and sold all the family property. I got a battalion of soldiers and 100,000 grain. Is it enough for us to make a fortune in Jiangdong?"

Sun Ce heard Zhou Yu's words, and his heart, which had been silent for a year, couldn't help but ignite the passion again.

"Good! We brothers join hands to create a great cause!"

Chang'an.

During the harvest season, the whole Guanzhong is extremely lively at this moment.

Countless people happily waved their sickles in the fields, harvesting the ripe crops.

"Hahaha! It's a good harvest! It's a good harvest!"

"What a good year."

"I haven't seen a good harvest for many years.

The common people were in high spirits, and their happiness overflowed their faces.

The elders of the family stand in the field and direct, the young men harvest the crops, the women and children follow behind, picking up the fallen ears of wheat in the field, and cherishing every grain of grain.

The existence of the keel waterwheel allows the farmland in Guanzhong to be fully irrigated, the crops have sufficient water, and the growth is gratifying, and a bumper harvest is also expected.

The same scene is limited to Guanzhong, the Xitao Plain in Beijun, the Houtao Plain in Shuofangbai, including the Hanzhong Plain that was just conquered. Countless crops are harvested and turned into stones of grain and grass, filling up granaries and treasuries everywhere.

General's Mansion.

"This year's bumper harvest, the effect of the keel waterwheel is obvious to all." Lu Bu sat at the head seat and said, "The Guanzhong, Beidi, and Shuofang areas all have bumper harvests, and Hanzhong is slightly inferior in comparison."

"After the autumn harvest, before the winter, the supervisor will immediately rush to Hanzhong to install the keel waterwheel, so that Hanzhong can also enjoy the convenience of the keel waterwheel when it is spring plowing next year."

"Ma Jun is still in charge of this matter."

"I take orders." Ma Jun bowed and agreed.

The Wei River in Guanzhong runs across the entire Guanzhong Plain, and the same is true in Hanzhong, where the Han River runs across the entire Hanzhong Plain.

As long as keel waterwheels are placed on both sides of the Han River, Hanzhong will definitely have a bumper harvest next year.

"This time we captured 15,000 soldiers in Hanzhong, and now we have 65,000 troops." Lu Bu continued: "But this is not enough. Continue to recruit new soldiers, and the target is set at 100,000."

"Ziyi and Wensheng are in charge of recruiting, and Gongyi is in charge of training."

"The last general obeys orders." Hua Xiong, Xu Rong and Gao Shun embraced their orders.

Pang De is guarding in Hanzhong, while Zhang Liao is grazing in the Qiantao area, which is Lu Bu's hometown.

Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu again, and said, "Chengdu is fertile and wild, and the Land of Abundance must have a bumper harvest. You can send someone to contact Liu Zhang and ask to buy the grain in his hands.

"My lord, we are not short of food at the moment." Jia Xu reminded.

"I know." Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "But the more food, the better. Put it in the granary and seal it well. It won't be a problem if you store it for ten or eight years."

"Relying on the Silk Road, we have earned countless wealth in a short period of time. If the money is not spent in the treasury, then the money will lose its meaning."

"Money is only money if it is spent. If it is kept in the warehouse, it will be a pile of scrap metal."

Lu Bu's novel point of view made Jia Xu fall into deep thought.

"In short, turning our financial resources into strength!"

"I understand, I will arrange for people to go buy grain and grass." Jia Xu agreed.

The Chengdu Plain is rich and fertile, but Liu Zhang is just a dog guarding the soil, and he has no intention of pioneering and enterprising, let alone the idea of ​​expanding the army.

Therefore, the taxes Liu Zhang collects every year can't be eaten up every year, and every year there is a surplus, which has been piled up in the warehouse, increasing year by year.....

From Liu Yan to Liu Zhang has accumulated a lot of years.

Before buying silk and tea from Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang must have tasted the sweetness, but Lu Bu sold it to Hu merchants and made more money.

With so much money, it is the best choice to exchange it for food and put it in the treasury.

"Will Liu Zhang sell things like grain and grass to us?" Xu Rong was a little uncertain.

"Hehe, food is extremely precious to those who are short of food, but it is worthless to those who are hungry." Lu Bu laughed and said, "There is more than enough grain produced in Yizhou every year, and it is piled up like a mountain.

"Eat? You can't finish it. Before the old food is finished, the new food will be available again."

"Throw it away? It's food anyway, who is really willing to throw it away?"

"So selling is the only option. As long as we propose to buy, Liu Zhang is absolutely very happy to make a deal, and the price will not be very expensive."

After listening to Lu Bu's explanation, everyone felt very reasonable.

Before that, Hanzhong was guarded by Zhang Lu, and the goods could only go through Qishan Road.

But grain and grass are not ordinary goods, people who transport grain have to eat grain, and the long Qishan Road will consume most of the grain and grass on the journey, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Now that Hanzhong is taken by Lu Bu, the food can enter Chencang Road after leaving Shu, and it will even be faster to go to Meridian Valley, and you can directly reach Chang'an City when you leave the valley.

The transportation distance is greatly shortened, and the purchase of grain and grass is feasible.

"My lord, the northwest is stable, and Hanzhong has just been captured. Shouldn't we consider Shuzhong as the next step?" Jia Xu reminded.

According to the national policy formulated by Jia Xu for Lu Bu, follow the example of Qin State, stick to Guanzhong, and use Bashu as a granary to develop steadily.

"That's right." Lu Bu nodded and said, "Our next step is to plan for Shuzhong."

"With an army of 100,000, I believe that among the passes in central Shu, Yinping Pass is relatively easy to conquer." 5.0 Jia Xu said earnestly: "Although Yinping Pass is relatively easy to conquer, if we enter from Qishan Road, our food and grass supplies will be delayed. very long..."

It seems that Jia Xu has long been thinking about how to attack Shuzhong, and his analysis is clear and logical.

However, Lu Bu smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Jia Xu's speech, "Mr. Wenhe, maybe we don't need to attack Shuzhong, maybe someone will give it to us."

"Oh?" Jia Xu was taken aback when he heard the words, not understanding what Lu Bu meant.

"Let's wait and see. Let's wait for our old acquaintance to deliver the food and grass this time." Lu Bu smiled.

The most famous Erwuzi in the Three Kingdoms, one is Xu You, and the other is Zhang Song.

But these two people often come to Guanzhong, which gave Lu Bu a chance to get in touch.

Every time there is a transaction between Shuzhong and Guanzhong, the person who brings the caravan to deliver the goods is Zhang Song.

Zhang Song first took the map of Yizhou to Cao Cao, but failed, and then dedicated it to Liu Bei, selling Liu Zhang completely.

Lu Bu planned to start with Zhang Song. If all goes well, he can take Yizhou easily. .
