Chapter 101 Initial results

Wang Heng said: "That's right. Three hundred donkeys can fertilize several acres of land with just donkey dung eggs in a day. Three hundred trucks have finally achieved animal power and can set up a separate baggage camp."

Generally, the baggage battalion belongs to the second-class unit or the civilian team, with poor combat and no combat effectiveness. When carrying out the tasks of transporting food and grass, additional troops are required to protect it.

In addition to obtaining horses and donkeys, this time, he also obtained a lot of meaningful information.

Cao Cao defeated Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew, and obtained tens of thousands of elite soldiers, countless horses and baggage, and his strength grew stronger.

According to the original development trajectory, Yuan Shu will be elected emperor soon, and the princes will join forces to attack Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao's troops launched several groups to attack Xuzhou. Xuzhou was exhausted and could not fight. Lu Bu was trapped in Xia Pi and captured Cao Cao.

When Lu Bu thought of this, his neck was chilly. What he had to do now was to calm the inside and take down Langya and Dongguan. Especially Langya, the mountainous areas were relatively less affected by the war and had a large number of resources such as pigs, cattle, donkeys and sheep. Moreover, Langya has been outstanding since ancient times, and is still the hometown of Zhuge's family, and it can be regarded as a wealth of talents.

There was no war recently. Lu Bu ordered 1,500 cavalrymen from his headquarters, including Lu Tong, Feng Xiong, Hua Ji, Xu Sheng, and Cao Ping, a total of five. Cheng Lian's army only drew fifty cavalrymen, with a total of less than 1,600 cavalrymen, and more than 100 mules were accompanied by some food, grass and supplies.

The team set off just after dawn, and the cavalry set off slowly until the sun was three o'clock.

The Ranger Lu Tong in front came back to report: "General, there is a dense poplar forest ahead, and he just happened to be stationed to rest."

Lu Bu looked up at the sun and said that it had been three or four hours, and it was almost nine o'clock, so it was time to have breakfast.

"Speed ​​up and go into the forest to rest." Lu Bu gave the order.

"yes."

The entire army accelerated, and it took a few miles to reach the poplar forest that the Rangers mentioned. The trunks were tall and covered with shade. Next to it was a small beach river with clear water.

Huaji led a team of troops on duty, and everyone else rested.

The Huotou Army set up a stove and lighted the fire to cook.

The other cavalry unsaded their saddles and let their horses roll over with grass.

Horses are an animal that loves to roll. Long-distance marching can cause great harm to horses. After stopping, you need to roll and relax your body.

After rolling, eat grass, usually mix with dry grass with soybeans and oats. Of course, if there is good fresh grass on the roadside, you can also eat fresh grass, but you cannot eat too much.

Cheng Lian sat beside Lu Bu and asked, "Lord, are we going to patrol the Tengguo military farm?"

Lu Bu shook his head and smiled and said, "No, let's take down Langya and Dongguan. For a long time, the Prime Minister of Langya Xiao Jian refused to obey the case on the grounds that he had no appointment with the court. Now there is an imperial edict of the emperor, and I see what he has to say. If he refuses, he will have to kill him. The matter in Langya cannot be delayed any more."

Today’s breakfast was very good, boil noodles with pickled vegetables.

The noodles are made of white noodles, which is a fine grain these days. It is easy to make. It can be eaten after boiling the pot and boiling for a few minutes.

Everyone was having a meal, and dozens of people came on the road.

Huaji, who was on duty, stopped everyone and said, "The army ahead is stationed and it is strictly forbidden to carry out the front."

The leader was an old man who bowed and bowed and said, "We are from Zhangjiazhuang, and I am the patriarch. When I saw Wen Hou's army passing by, I came to offer some fruits, vegetables, chickens and ducks."

Hua Ji was very moved. When he was a bandit, the people saw it as if they saw the plague god. Unexpectedly, the people now bring their own things.

Huaji turned over and dismounted and said, "Old man, please go back. It is not easy for the people to grow something with the food and supplies brought by the team."

The old man wiped his tears and said, "There was a famine in spring and he almost starved to death. It was the government who distributed porridge and food, distributed farm tools, and restored production to the people. Now Wenhou passed by our village, and it was unreasonable to have enough friendship with the landlords."

Huaji said: "Okay, I'll report it to you."

Huaji came over to talk to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu came over and said, "Old man, this place is not far from Xuzhou, and the food and supplies we brought are very abundant. But since everyone has arrived, they will collect the vegetables and keep them for us to eat on the way."

These were all the seeds distributed by Lu Bu, such as cabbage, beans, lettuce, etc., and they all grew well.

The villagers met Lu Bu, put down the vegetables before turning around and leaving.

After the villagers left, Lu Bu suddenly said: "We should build several inns in Xuzhou, forty or sixty miles a day, build a well and prepare firewood to facilitate the rest of the soldiers, especially firewood. It is also troublesome to find firewood every time you cook."

"Although there are stations on the way from Xuzhou to Xiapi, they are all in villages and towns, and the army cannot be stationed. If a new station is built, it is better to choose a wide place in the wilderness and leave enough camps for the army to set up camps. Just provide water and firewood, and there is no need for too much else." Cheng Lian suggested.

"What I said in the public opinion makes sense. When I go back to Xuzhou, I will start to arrange construction." Lu Bu said.

The army arrived in Teng Kingdom at noon the next day. After more than two months, Lu Bu came here again.

Things have changed dramatically.

Gao Shun led 10,000 new recruits to farm 30,000 acres, planted corn, pumpkins and various vegetables.

Liao Hua built three new refugee villages in the deserted area east of the military camp, all of which were recruited from the Sishui area, with more than a thousand people in each village.

The first thing I saw was a thousand black pigs in the wild. The pigs were humming and eating various wild vegetables, half a person tall gray vegetables, amaranth about one foot tall, and purslane covered with the ground.

Xiaohu and a few children were laying pigs when they suddenly saw Lu Bu's big flag: "Hurry up, the general is here."

The other children refused to believe it and said, "How did you know."

"You usually don't recognize the words. The words "Doudalu" are written clearly. There is also a general named Cheng who comes with him. The small flag next to him is." Xiaohu said seriously.

Lu Bu didn't like to make the false conspiracy of coming and seeing off the show. Gao Shun was also very pragmatic and only brought a few soldiers to wait on the side of the road.

"See the lord." Gao Shun bowed.

Lu Bu dismounted his horse and walked side by side with Gao Shun, asking: "General Gao, how has the training and military farming progressed during this period."

Gao Shun pointed to the green cornfield and said, "Wenhou rice was already waist-high, and those who planted late had just been unearthed. This year, the land reclamation was carried out late, and only more than 30,000 acres were planted, mainly Wenhou rice and pumpkin, as well as a large amount of sorghum, soybeans, and vegetables. I only wait for the bumper harvest in autumn to be able to support myself here, and there is no need to transfer grain from Xuzhou. The recruits have also trained them to make a rough choice, and there is no problem of ordering them."
