A few days later, the three missions almost returned to Xuzhou together.

Lu Bu personally led Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Hao Meng, Zang Ba and other subordinates, and patted the incense table outside the south gate and waited.

This is a decree of the emperor who was carrying the envoy.

Lu Bu turned around and looked at it. In addition to the generals, there were many white-bearded old men behind him. They were local gentry families in Xuzhou, and many people could see that this size would be worth tens of thousands.

"Building Station, why have you called so many people? The wheat harvest just passed and it was time to plant summer grain, which delayed everyone's work."

Chen Gong smiled and said, "Lord, don't bother me. It's just a short time before welcoming the emperor's edict, everyone will disperse. With this edict, the lord is the governor of Xuzhou appointed by the emperor, and there will be no more verbal disputes."

The world is so strange. Even though the emperor was controlled by Cao Cao, everyone still attached so much importance to the emperor's imperial edict. After all, the Han Dynasty had a deep influence for hundreds of years.

Chen Gong looked around and asked, "Lord, why didn't the wife come?"

Lu Bu lowered his voice and said, "Madam, the second wife are happy. She is afraid that she will get angry, so she cannot come."

"Oh, congratulations to lord, congratulations to lord. This is a great thing. If a fat boy comes out, the morale of our Xuzhou military will be stable. It's really a happy ending." Chen Gong danced happily.

Later, Zhang Liao asked: "Lord, what are the military advisors saying? I'm so happy."

"The two wives of the lord are happy." Chen Gong said happily.

All the generals heard Chen Gong's voice.

If you say that Lu Bu is not young, a man in his thirties, his eldest daughter is fourteen years old, but he just has no son. This is a great regret in this day and age.

All the generals congratulated each other.

Lu Bu was also very happy. It was indeed a great event for the two ladies to be happy.

After a while, the team arrived slowly and the envoy took out an edict.

Lu Bu led all the civil and military officials in Xuzhou to perform three bows and nine bows before receiving the edict.

Lu Bu stood up and showed the edict to everyone, saying, "Who dares to say that I am the governor of Xuzhou from now on?"

Of course no one said that the generals had said it, but the local gentry had quite a complaint.

From the moment of receiving the edict, the expressions of these gentry and wealthy families changed slightly, and they were eager to think whether they wanted to dedicate their daughter to Lu Bu as a concubine, so as to have a good relationship.

The envoy who followed Yuan Shu also returned and brought back three hundred horses. Yuan Shu had given a lot of money, but they were actually three hundred horses, all of which were well-trained war horses.

Lu Bu discussed with the generals and divided Zhang Liao into 100 horses, Zang Ba into 100 horses, Gao Shun into 50 horses, and Hao Meng into 50 horses. These are the four main forces in Lu Bu’s army. Although Chen Gong’s army has the largest number of people, Chen Gong is a military advisor after all, and is mainly responsible for Xuzhou government affairs.

Zhang Liao was very happy. Lu Bu was truly righteous. With these hundred war horses, his cavalry had 400, and his combat power was greatly enhanced.

The fifty horses in Gaoshun's army were used as communication orders and for back and forth patrols and maneuvers. This was necessary, and no one could say anything. Gaoshun's camp was pure infantry, but it was not impossible to have horses.

The happiest person is Zang Ba, during the Battle of Yanzhou last year.

Zang Ba and Lu Bu jointly fought Cao Cao. Lu Bu always thought about placing Zang Ba’s things. From food, supplies, guns, equipment, horses and animals, there was nothing wrong with Zang Ba.

This year, everything is supplied from helmets, armor, cloth shoes, clothes, Wenhou Pots, to food, supplies and vegetables. Today, I was given a hundred excellent war horses.

Zang Ba even had an illusion that Lu Bu was like a different person.

Hao Meng's general Cao Xinggang was equipped with iron armor, so he gave him fifty horses, not to mention that the second-class teams such as Cheng Lian, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and Wei Yue have not been assigned yet.

"Report, General. Yuan Shao's team was back, bringing back three hundred aconite donkeys." The personal soldiers came to the camp to report.

When Lu Bu heard this, he was surprised: "What is this for Brother Benchu? Why did he send us a donkey?"

Zang Ba smiled and said, "Maybe Yuan Shao was worried that his lord would not have donkey meat to eat, so he gave him hundreds of donkeys back."

Lu and Lu are a bit similar. If you carefully savor Yuan Shao's actions would be impolite.

Zhang Liao was worried that Lu Bu would be angry, and it would be harmful to fight with Yuan Shao. After all, at this time, Yuan Shao's fourth generation and three Dukes occupied Jizhou and Qingzhou, with 300,000 troops, and the strongest prince in the Han Dynasty.

"Lord, although donkeys are far from comparable to horses, donkeys eat less and have great strength. They are very suitable for transportation supplies, and they are also very good to store grain on a regular basis." Zhang Liao said.

Lu Bu was a little angry. Yuan Shao was too indifferent. He felt relieved when he thought about it. It was worth it to exchange dozens of watermelons and some glass lamps for so many donkeys.

"Let the generals disperse, and all the horses go to work hard," said Lu Bu.

"Yes." The generals dispersed.

Lu Bu called Wang Heng and waited for Yuan Shao's envoy, and came soon.

The vast group of donkeys is still very spectacular.

The messenger Zhao Zhubo is quite good at the scene. Every donkey wears a big red flower on his forehead. Along the way, everyone knows that Yuan Shao has had a good relationship with Xuzhou.

"The aconite donkey in Hebei is very different from our local little donkeys. It is completely two varieties. The Hebei donkey weighs less than 1,400 kilograms (han kilograms), while the local little donkey is only 6,700 kilograms. Is the difference too big?" Wang Heng said happily.

Zhao Zhubo reported: "My lord, Yuan Shao originally planned to give hundreds of horses as a return gift. However, Yuan Shao's army was worried that our Xuzhou army would become bigger. After talking nonsense, Yuan Shao had no choice but to change to three hundred donkeys. However, when choosing a donkey, I gave the shepherd some benefits. He chose female donkeys about three years old, so that they could breed more. In addition, Yuan Shao agreed to the Xuzhou Hebei mutual trade agreement and issued three commercial cards."

Three hundred donkeys are not worthy of gifts. What is important is three commercial cards. With these three commercial cards, you can conduct normal private trade with Hebei. After a few years of caravans, Lu Bu believes that Xuzhou will be rich.

Lu Bu praised: "Thank you for your hard work by Master Zhao, you will be rewarded with ten taels of rewards, and everyone else will also be rewarded."

The emperor who was sent to the emperor was given fifteen taels of gold, Yuan Shu gave ten taels of gold, and Yuan Shao gave ten taels of gold.

"Yes, thank you lord." Master Zhao also worked hard all the way and went down to rest.

The donkey has a strong ability to pull the cart and mill, whether it is called a donkey or a grass donkey. It is the same as pulling the cart, pulling the mill, or even cultivated the land. Only in the late pregnancy, when the baby is too young, can't work, and in other times, it will not delay work.

Lu Bu arranged for Wang Heng: "Select a few donkeys separately and replace them with a few strong horses. It's not a loss to Brother Benchu's kindness. Let's use donkeys to train mules."
