Chapter 200 Yuan Shu Proclaimed Emperor

Liao Hua led more than a hundred mule carts to receive supplies in the warehouse, and the soldiers were busy loading the carts. One mule cart just loaded ten sophomore-28 bicycles.

Brand new paint, shiny wheels, and shiny car bells, this iron horse is so beautiful.

Wang Heng looked at Liao Hua's drooling look: "Yuan Jian, do you want to give it a try?"

Liao Hua quickly shook his head: "If you don't try, you won't be able to ride an iron horse, and you will easily fall."

Wang Heng smiled and said, "My lord said that in a few days, you can allocate 100 vehicles to your army to form a fast delivery team, and be responsible for patrolling along the road from Xuzhou to Tengguo. You must learn to do so."

"Really?" Liao Hua was very happy.

The iron horse is very advantageous on the flat official road. It takes half an hour and thirty miles to patrol each team of fifty people. It is very easy to patrol a hundred miles a day, and it does not eat grass or food, and the maintenance cost is extremely low.

"Of course it's true, the lord said. But you have to supply enough Gao Shun's first, and then supply you here. After you come back, you can transfer three iron horses and arrange for the sergeant to study first."

Lu Bu has accelerated in the past few days, and in less than late January, Gao Shun's troops have successfully formed the infantry.

Three thousand infantrymen were equipped with iron horses. The official road actually measured that marching 150 miles per day for three hours a day. If the speed was accelerated, it could be increased to 200 miles, and the baggage carried by each person was large, which could reach 150 kilograms. Of course, there was a great restriction on iron horses, only for official roads. If you left the official road, the iron horse would be nothing, and it would become a burden.

The Seven Hundred Clan camp was also equipped with Hun horses.

Each of these 700 horses was exchanged from the merchants of Youzhou in almost ten large iron pots. If it weren't for the profits of the sales of Dahan Imperial Wine, Lu Bu would have been unable to bear it. After all, the purchase of Xiongnu horses was large and long-term.

The official roads that were overhauled in Xuzhou are well connected, and more than 60 counties have already opened official roads. This is the capital for forming a fast iron horse army. If there is no smooth official road, even if the iron horse army is formed, it will be useless.

According to the current analysis, Yuan Shao's Jizhou, Cao Cao's Yanzhou, and Yuan Shu's Huainan are all places with relatively smooth official roads, and the iron horse army can be unobstructed. However, places like Eastern Wu, Shu, and Jingzhou are densely packed with water networks, and the iron horses are in vain when they pass.

Just as it was dawn in the morning, Gao Shun and Zhang Yi led the army of 3,000 iron horses to set off from Teng Country. The team was tied to the old horse. The iron horse camp was tied to the iron horse.

Although they are marching within their own territory, they must also have front troops, twenty iron horses as outposts, and explore the way first.

A large group of people followed, from Tengguo Camp to the south gate of Xuzhou City, about 180 miles away.

Tiemaying had lunch at the inn at noon and continued to work in the afternoon. When the sun was west, it arrived at the south gate of Xuzhou.

Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Hao Meng, and Zang Ba are waiting.

Hao Meng was shocked: "Yuan Jian, did you really set out at dawn in the morning?"

Gao Shun stopped the iron horse and came over to pat the dust on his body.

"This is a joke. Military orders are like mountains. The porridge and pickles I ate in the camp for breakfast, pancakes and pork stewed with radish at the inn at noon. And the time is very good, so I took an hour off at noon. Except for a few cars that dropped the chain, there was no problem. The cars that dropped the chain were not adjusted properly."

Chen Gong didn't say anything, so surprised that he didn't know what to say.

Lu Bu told him that an iron horse traveled 200 miles a day. He thought Lu Bu bragged, but now the result is that it is 180 miles and the sun has not set yet.

Lu Bu ordered: "The whole army gathered, took the weapons, and rushed to the dirt slope in front."

"yes."

Gao Shun quickly assembled the team, lined up to charge, shouted and charged up. The slope was not close to it, and it was three miles away.

Gao Shun led his men to charge quickly. This is a training ground, and there are places where you can climb high and low.

No one fell behind after three thousand people, and the speed did not slow down significantly.

He forced his troops to march for 180 miles, and he stayed at the place for less than a quarter of an hour. It can be said that he stopped the iron horse and charged. This force is as strong as the cavalry. The cavalry was exhausted even if they marched for 180 miles a day.

Everyone is an expert, and you can tell whether the soldiers still have the strength to charge.

Zang Ba praised: "These soldiers have no weak feet and no physical strength. Iron Horse seems to be really labor-saving."

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and stared at Lu Bu up and down.

Lu Bu was so angry that Chen Gong saw: "Public platform, what's the matter?"

"Lord, let's give the yamen some iron horses. I'm about to set up a mailing shop to facilitate the delivery of letters."

The development of delivery shops was mainly caused by the soldiers writing letters to their homes and a little bit. Especially during the Chinese New Year, most soldiers could not go home, so they had to go back home. It turned out that the post station had been working, but the post station was limited, so Lu Bu arranged for Chengong to set up a postal shop to connect all counties and counties in Xuzhou."

Hao Meng and Zang Ba also looked at each other. It was impossible to divide evenly, and Lu Bu could only try his best to balance.

Lu Bu: "No, there is no, wait for autumn. We will expand our trade with Youzhou and Bingzhou. I plan to build a military horse farm in Teng Kingdom, where there is a large wasteland of tens of thousands of acres, which can be used as an activity site. Forage relies on confiscating the forage from nearby farmers to breed the Xiongnu horses. The three thousand cavalry of Zhang Liao's army will be formed soon, and the next one is Zang Ba and Hao Meng's army. Infantry must always be available. Don't always watch the iron horses fast, but the iron horses can only walk on the official roads and walk on the mountain roads without anything."

As we were talking about Gao Shun's army was back, it would be tiring to charge this time, and the long-distance marching was very hard.

Hao Meng was very envious: "Old Gao, it's so enviable. The swords and iron horses are all equipped."

Gao Shun curled his lips: "Come on, you and Zang Ba, you will get the first month of the water. The iron armor in the second half of last year was worn on the dog. I didn't catch any of them in Teng Country."

Last year, in order to build iron armor, the shovel heads consumed tens of thousands and were assigned to the cavalry first. Gao Shun naturally didn't catch anything.

"I'm not making up for you. With three thousand iron horses, you will become the fastest runners of the Xuzhou army." Zang Ba said with a smile.

"Yuan Jian, bring troops back to the city and reward the three armies tonight. Yuan Shu is about to be emperor. The world is about to meet."

As Lu Bu said, in February, Yuan Shu became emperor, like a thunderclap, and the world shook.

This is a huge matter. The princes in the world are like a group of dogs. They each guard their own territory. Although they are all local emperors, no one says anything.

Yuan Shu broke the balance and all the princes of the world rose up to attack him.

The first thing that popped up was Cao Cao, who issued the emperor's edict in the name of the emperor, calling on all princes to fight against the thieves.

Cao Cao raised 50,000 troops from Xudu, Guo Jia and Jia Xu were military advisors, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun were generals. He rushed to Huainan.
