A genius remembers the site address in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! "From the perspective of Wenhe, how many soldiers and horses can gather by then?" Lu Bu asked.
Jia Xu was silent for a long time and slowly said: "According to the information received by his subordinates, the number of soldiers and horses gathered by the princes can reach 200,000. This is under the situation of Jiangdong sending troops."
Everyone in the field took a breath after hearing this. Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, just to imagine, make people feel terrible.
"No matter how many soldiers and horses the princes have, you can't let the soldiers and horses of the princes step into the pot." Lu Bu said loudly.
Gu Yong and Li Su were also a little heavy. They did not expect that Bingzhou would attract the siege of the princes, and Lu Bu just put down Xianbei and the Chang'an rebels. They were the heroes of the great Han. Could the Han family really have reached this point, fearful? When the princes everywhere reached this level, before they knew it, Gu Yong and Jia Xu had lost their initial enthusiasm for the Han Dynasty, and they only hated them.
The longer they stay in Binzhou, the more they can feel the vitality that bursts out of Binzhou, and let their talents unreservedly display their talents in Binzhou, without worrying that the superiors will be jealous.
"Leave that Mi Zhu and Mi Fang come to see this lord." After Gu Yong and Li Su left, Lu Bu immediately ordered.
The Jinyang Chamber of Commerce, which Mi Zhu is in charge of, now has a great influence in Dahan, but any merchant or aristocratic family from all over the country is respectful to the Mi family in Bingzhou. There is no way, and the state controls what is in short supply, whether it is a family or a family. Businessmen will not refuse to benefit.
Mi Zhu has also received bad news about Bingzhou from merchants from various places in the recent period. Merchants are sometimes very informed in terms of news. Since the princes began to secretly unite, the number of merchants going to Bingzhou has decreased significantly.
"Zizhong, maybe you have already got some news, and the current situation is extremely unfavorable for Bingzhou. It can be said that Bingzhou has reached the point of life and death. If Bingzhou is lost, do you think Youzhou and the newly acquired Changan can hold it?"
Lu Bu's words made Mi Zhu and Mi Fang look at each other. They knew that the situation was not good for Bingzhou, but they didn't expect it to be this way.
"The lord has instructions, and his subordinates will die without hesitation." Mi Zhu arched his hands.
"Zizhong, you two are in the same family as the prince. Don’t talk to others about what the prince said today.” Lu Bu said: “The princes wanted to jointly attack the Bingzhou. Fortunately, the Bingzhou army did not attack Chang'an. A big loss, but the strength of the princes is not comparable to that of the past. What the prince wants you to do is to hold a chamber of commerce again. It is best to gather the merchants from the princes' land and do your best to hoard food and grass for the state."
"Here." Mi Zhu arched his hands, and at the same time felt the great responsibility. If the princes conquered the state, Mi's family would become a mere sight. Since entering the state, the Mi family and Lv Bu have been closely united. It can be said that it is. All damages are lost, and the Mi family has also paid a lot to merge the state. He cannot tolerate the destruction of the current situation in the state.
"A soldier needs three stones of food and grass a month, and a war horse needs six stones. A hundred thousand army plus war horses requires a minimum of 400,000 stones of food and grass in one month. The prince wants you to stock up at the minimum before the princes attack the union state. Three million stones, grains and grass." Lu Bu said.
"Here." Mi Zhu said, "Subordinates will do their best."
"It is not to do my best, but to be certain. This prince does not hope that the soldiers in the army will be starved to death because they have no food and grass." Lu Bu said: "These food and grass are best obtained from the princes."
Once the war with the princes' coalition forces begins, the war is very likely to be protracted. At that time, the princes must be extremely strict in the control of grain and grass. It is very difficult to obtain grain and grass from the noble families under the rule of the princes when the war begins. Thing.
Mi Zhu handed over and said yes.
"Zifang, you have been in charge of Zhenyuan Escort in recent years, and it has been hard work." Lu Bu turned his attention to Mi Fang.
Mi Fang said with excitement, "Lord, for the sake of merging the state, I am willing to go through fire and water in a humble duty."
Historically, Mi Fang had betrayed the Kingdom of Shu, but Lu Bu had a lot of trust in Mi Fang. He believed that Mi Fang would not be dissatisfied after seeing that Bingzhou was strong. The reason for the betrayal was also a last resort.
"Zhenyuan Escorts, but when the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce ends, they all stop. There is no need to send soldiers from the Escorts to various places, and the latter is responsible for training these soldiers and keep them for other purposes." Lu Bu said.
"Here." Mi Fang felt that the blood was rising. He was a military commander and yearned to be the battlefield. Even in the past few years in charge of Zhenyuan Escort, he did not fall into martial arts. Now Zhenyuan Escort has 8,000 guards. Compared with the Union State Army, the strength of these guards is not weak. They travel everywhere all the year round. They experience many battles. With a little training, they are a strong army. Lu Bu needs more than just these guards to transform into soldiers. Instead, Mi Fang is responsible for training an army that can fight the cavalry.
"After you two go back, be careful not to leak the news." Lu Bu said.
After the two left, Lu Bu looked at the topographic map in the study and fell into contemplation. It is undeniable that the Bingzhou Army has expanded rapidly over the years. From the initial Bingzhou to the present, it has Youzhou, Hanoi, Hedong, and Chang'an. The land and its hardships are not known to outsiders, and Lu Bu participated in most of the battles.
"Everyone who wants to sabotage this lord should be killed!" Lu Bu stood up and said.
It was late at night when they returned to the Hou Mansion, but the girls did not rest. In the daytime they received news that Lu Bu had returned to Jinyang. However, after Lu Bu entered the city, he stayed in the Zhou Mu Mansion.
The five girls are all slender-minded, and they understand that something big has happened in Bingzhou.
Lu Bu was also taken aback when he walked into the mansion, but he saw that the mansion had already prepared food and drinks.
"Husband." The five people saw Lu Bu coming in and hurriedly got up to salute.
"Ladies please get up quickly. I delayed a bit in the prefecture for husband's affairs, but I didn't expect that the five ladies were waiting to be their husbands. Okay." Lu Bu laughed and returned to the Hou Mansion. , And let his mind gradually relax after a busy day.
The banquet was also lively. Lu Bu talked about what he had learned along the way from time to time, which made the women laugh.
Lying on the bed, feeling the gentleness of Yan Lan in his arms, Lu Bu could hardly fall asleep, and his thoughts inevitably returned to the situation in Bingzhou.
In fact, what makes Lu Bu most difficult to understand is that Sun Ce was involved in this incident. Although Jia Xu’s analysis is very reasonable, he can directly threaten Jiangdong after occupying Chang'an and joining the Zhou army to capture Yizhou. However, Lu Bu still has some difficulties. Relieved.
