Chapter 215 Danyang Layout
Shanxiong proposed: "The land in Danyang Mountains is not serious, with few large households and many retail investors. Some of them are moved out, and local people can improve the soil through picks and shovels. According to the strategies of other counties, a tool can charge 30 kilograms of grain a year. Only when mountain people obtain steel farm tools can they completely change the situation of the land."
"It's great that Shanxiong can raise this question, but it needs to be slowed down for the time being. It will cost tens of millions of dollars to develop Danyang County. After returning for a while, I will arrange for Liao Hua to allocate agricultural tools and issue them to the 30,000 strong men who built the official road at that time, so as to save money and lots of money."
During this period, Lu Bu spent a lot of money from Danyang, but he recharged very little. He just recharged some river sand and did not make a huge profit. Moreover, Lu Bu generally did not exchange things outside at will, so as not to be too shocking.
After thinking for a long time, I would still go back and exchange it. Thirty thousand steel farm tools seemed worthless to Lu Bu, but in the eyes of people in this year, it was of great value. Needless to say, ordinary farmers, even super big families, are reluctant to buy farm tools with fine iron.
It has been a long time since I came out, and Lu Bu plans to go back. The external environment has undergone tremendous changes during this period.
Cao Cao was very angry when he knew that Lu Bu won and led his team to attack Huainan. Unfortunately, Yuan Shu had enough troops and food, so he had to retreat back to Xudu.
Sun Ce also returned to Jiangdong to cultivate and rest, and Lu Bu stood firm in Danyang.
Zhao Zhubo suggested: "Lord, Hefei is not far from here, why don't we take the opportunity to go south and occupy Hefei?"
Lu Bu shook his head: "Before coming, the military advisor made a special arrangement, and everything should not be rushed. Our Xuzhou is very large, but the distance between north and south is too long. It is a distance of 800 to 1,000 miles from Xuzhou to Danyang. Once the distance is long, it is inconvenient to dispatch troops and generals, so the control will be weak."
Before returning to the army, Lu Bu made important arrangements and made military changes.
First of all, Ji Ling was still the magistrate of Danyang County and the magistrate of Danyang County. However, the Danyang County Yamen was re-established in accordance with Xuzhou's plan. The Xuzhou headquarters sent 500 police officers to establish a police yamen to maintain public order. The police yamen was led by the dual leaders of the county yamen and the governor's office.
Ji Ling's 30,000 army was split and 10,000 elite troops were retained. However, Lu Bu promised to equip Ji Ling's 10,000 army with helmets, cowhide armor, bows and arrows as soon as possible.
The remaining 20,000 soldiers selected 10,000 elite soldiers and transferred them back to Xuzhou for training, and then transferred them to Lu Bu's personal soldiers. Five thousand were transferred to Guangling, under the jurisdiction of Zhang Liao, and five thousand were transferred to Danyang Fort and under the jurisdiction of Zang Ba.
In addition, whether it is the Jiling tribe or the Zangba tribe, small amounts of cultivation and breeding must be carried out.
A small amount of farmland usually has two acres of land for a total of two acres of land, which does not delay normal training and war.
Chen Lan's troops added 500 people to join the Xuzhou Iron Cavalry.
Chen Lan heard that Lu Bu was recruiting apprentices and insisted on taking Lu Bu as his master.
Chen Lan is more than 10 years younger than Lu Bu, and it is barely enough to become a master.
In this battle in Danyang, Lu Bu created a miracle and captured Danyang County with zero deaths. Everyone was happy.
Three generals were stationed in the Danyang line of Guangling in the southern part of Guangling, Ji Ling was stationed in Danyang County, Zang Ba was stationed in Danyang Fort, and Zhang Liao was stationed in Guangling.
In this way, the south is worry-free, but Xuzhou's strength is much weaker.
Lu Bu led a large army back to Xuzhou for rest and rest. Liao Hua's troops also left some manpower and began to build ten inns in Danyang. After the inns were completed, each county could quickly access documents, materials, etc.
At the south gate of Xuzhou City, flags roar and horns roar.
Chen Gong, Hao Meng, Wang Heng, Qin Yilu, and a hundred local gentry all came.
Lu Bu doesn't like being so arrogant, but Chen Gong said that if he won such a big victory, it would be like walking in the night with a brocade clothes. Promoting it appropriately can also enhance Xuzhou's cohesion.
Lu Bu took the lead, and the generals behind him were all high-headed. It was extraordinary to successfully take down Danyang.
"Congratulations to the lord." Chen Gong led everyone to salute.
Lu Bu turned over and dismounted: "The public platform and everyone else have worked hard. This time, he was able to successfully win Danyang County, on the one hand, it was the soldiers who bleed and sweated, and on the other hand, it was the public platform and you who were in the rear to ensure the supply of materials and protect the safety of Xuzhou. Thank you everyone."
Lu Bu bowed to everyone.
The gentry and the people who watched the fun were very satisfied. Lu Bu knew the rules very well, and did not miss the words and did not take credit for his own credit.
The army entered the city, and the people on both sides kept stuffing flowers and snacks into the arms of the soldiers.
These soldiers were so excited that they would receive this treatment.
In fact, some of them are real people, some are military families, and Tun Ding guest appearances.
Lu Bu sat in the red rabbit horse and entered the city first, followed by his generals.
The careful person found that Zang Ba’s tribe had not come back, and it seemed that he had settled in Danyang.
In fact, Cao Ping wanted to stay in Danyang as a county magistrate, but Lu Bu did not agree.
Being an official cannot stay locally, otherwise many things will easily breed.
Chen Gong considered Lu Bu's arrangements very appropriate. Although Ji Ling trusted and had no way out, he had to be careful.
Stay Zang Ba in Danyang Fort. Once Yuan Shu sends troops to attack Danyang County, Zang Ba will take people to the top to avoid Ji Ling’s embarrassment.
"It's just that the southern generals in Xuzhou gathered together, and our north side was much weaker. Fortunately, the lord recruited a lot of new people, so Chen Lan should be a good seedling."
"Cao Xing, Zhou Cang, and Chen Lan are all good players. With a little training, they are all generals who lead troops. How are Xuzhou doing during this period? How are the potatoes growing?"
Before leaving, Lu Bu exchanged 5 million kilograms of potato seeds into the warehouse. In addition, tens of millions of kilograms of potato seeds left last year, but it can plant more than 100,000 acres. Some farmers have retained potato seeds, so the seeds will be large this year.
"Don't worry, lord, I have to do this big thing even if I don't sleep. A total of 150,000 mu of planted in Xuzhou, Pengcheng, Xiapi, Langya, Dongguan, Donghai, Taishan, and Rencheng have been planted in total. If the people's scattered plantings are added, there are at least 270,000 mu. Now it has grown to knee-high, but the spring drought here is severe, and watering potatoes and wheat is a problem, and the efficiency of the waterwheel is not good."
After hearing that the potatoes were grown, Lu Bu felt relieved. There were military farms in all counties in northern Xuzhou, and some potatoes were planted in the military farms, which would ensure the team’s food and drink problems. If the farmers have a bumper harvest, everything would be guaranteed.
In the evening, the logistics company prepared pigs, sheep, geese and ducks to reward the three armies.
Lu Bu held a banquet in the central army to entertain the generals, Chen Gong, Hao Meng, Wang Heng, Qin Yilu and the young generals in Lu Bu's camp all came.
Chen Gong was very happy: "The lord fought beautifully in this battle, beyond imagination. He did not kill a soldier and captured Danyang."
"Coincidentally, coincidence. Lei Bo, Chen Lan was very wise, and Ji Ling's brothers abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, which led to such a battle situation. But all the way, Guangling and Danyang recruited 60,000 to 70,000 civilians, and the cost of building bridges and roads was also quite high."
