Lu Su frowned and couldn't figure out what kind of skilled craftsman could make steel like this. And it was very sturdy, and the two of them were riding very strongly, so they couldn't tell what was wrong.

Lu Su has seen the power of iron horses. Generally, normal people can ride at a constant speed for an hour and travel for 60 miles. You should know that this hour is the journey of ordinary infantry marching in one day. After a while, you can continue riding. Three hours a day, it is still possible to ride on the official road 200 to 180 miles.

To a certain extent, the success or failure of a marching determines the success or failure of a war, fast enough to support in time, sneak attacks, etc. Of course, iron horses also have many flaws, that is, they must rely on the official road, and when they arrive at a deserted mountain and wild ridge without road, they will be nothing.

During the break in training new recruits, Lu Su rushed to train the iron horse.

For adults, it is not difficult and it is still easy to get started. I have mastered the skills in two days, from the beginning to the later one being very skilled. In the evening, Lu Su asked for some iron wire from the iron instrument supervisor to make hooks.

This is a weapon carrying. The big sword is very long, one meter long. It takes some skills to carry it on an iron horse. Make hooks in the front, rings in the back, and fix them with thin ropes.

The sword and shield hand is more convenient. The shield is hung in front of the front, and the knife is on the back. The same is true for archers. The bow and arrow are on their backs. The packages and bags they carry are tied to the backs when marching, and important weapons, kettles, etc. are on their backs. While not delaying riding, try to get the weapons as soon as possible, because the most reliable partner on the battlefield is not someone else, but his own weapon.

Just as Lu Bu was training and recuperating, Yuan Shao, who was far away in Jizhou, was discussing his strategy for Lu Bu.

Yuan Shao's face was gloomy, and it was obvious that he had just gotten angry.

Sitting in the hall were Shen Pei, Tian Feng, Xu You, Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Shen Pei bowed and said, "Don't be angry, there will be eternal friends among the princes, and of course there will be no eternal enemies. Last year, Lu Bu's soldiers were only tens of thousands and his territory was only one or two counties. Of course, he wanted to be friends with us. But with the development of Xuzhou, Qingzhou became a stumbling block for him to trade horses between him and Youzhou. Not only did he collect taxes along the way, but he also checked them in various ways."

Wen Chou said: "Don't talk about this issue, it's only a matter of time before turning against each other. What we need to talk about now is how to deal with the current situation, how to get it back to Qingzhou and Bohai County."

"Bohai is where our Jizhou started. We have the benefits of fish and salt, so we must not give up anyway." Yuan Shao slapped the table heavily.

The strategists did not speak, and the situation was better than that of the people. In the past two years, Jizhou has been fighting for years. The grain warehouse is empty and the silver warehouse is empty, and the soldiers urgently need to cultivate and rest.

"I have a plan to resist Cao Lu." Tian Feng expressed his psychological thoughts.

Xu You looked disdainful of this plan, and Yuan Shao was also a little unhappy, but he was more helpless.

Wen Chou pondered: "I am willing to bring 50,000 elite troops to regain Bohai County and Jinan County."

"Where do you come from money and food? You can't increase taxes. If you increase taxes, the people will rebel. There is no need to fight wars." Tian Feng looked at Wen Chou.

Wen Chou stopped talking. As a general, he knew very well that it was nothing more than money and food to fight in the army. If there was no money and food, why would the soldiers work for you?

"The war has been fought for years, and the treasury is empty and the people are suffering. Now that we send the main force to retake Qingzhou, we will also be hurt and we will be surrounded by wolves. It is better not to act rashly. Joining Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and Sun Ce to jointly attack Xuzhou is the best strategy." Tian Feng once again emphasized his plan.

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up: "Good strategies, good strategies. This method is good. Although Lu Bu's territory has grown recently, he has fought everywhere and has no friend anymore. Let's unite the heroes of the world and attack them together to see how he deals with it."

The main reason is that Jizhou can take advantage of this period of time to recuperate. Jizhou has many soldiers and horses, and once the money and food are sufficient, they are still very combat-effective. If one of them is lost, the other one of them is not damaged at all.

Yuan Shao immediately sent Xu You to Xu Du to form an alliance with Cao Cao. He sent Ju Su to Yuan Shu to form an alliance with Yuan Shu.

During this period, because of Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor, the relationship with Yuan Shu was very rigorous, but the possibility of a negotiation was still very high.

As for Sun Ce, Yuan Shao did not send anyone there, Sun Ce was just a general under Yuan Shu, and he was not a role. Yuan Shao was above the top, so he naturally looked down on Sun Ce and disdained to send people to form an alliance with him.

Although Lu Bu's intelligence network was not perfect, Yuan Shao sent people to form an alliance without hiding it. A few days later, Lu Bu from Xuzhou learned the news.

Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Lu Su, Wang Heng, Zhao Zhubo and others discussed in the Central Army, and the bright glass lamps shone like daytime.

Each person has a white porcelain tea cup with good tea in it.

Since quitting drinking, Lu Bu has started drinking tea.

"Latest news, Yuan Shao sent people to join forces with Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, and was preparing to send troops to attack us. Everyone talked about their own opinions."

Someone pulled down the sheepskin map, which was a rough map of power.

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he drank tea on his own and Chen Gong smiled and said, "Lord, I don't think you are afraid at all."

"I'm afraid, how could I be afraid?"

Lu Su stood up and bowed: "I want to tell me what I think. Our Xuzhou has long been a grudge with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce. No matter whether Yuan Shao sent people out to form an alliance this time, a fierce battle will take place sooner or later. But Yuan Shao sent people out to form an alliance and took this time forward. All we need to do is to train troops and transport the food, grass and supplies as soon as possible. If we really fight on the third line, we won't be blind."

Wang Heng read through the book: "Except for the lack of food in Youzhou, there is sufficient food and grass in other places. After the autumn grain is collected, the grain of Youzhou can also last for half a year. Jinan County has hoarded grain and can be transported to Youzhou."

Zhao Zhubo didn't say anything. His duty was to record who spoke, what was the content of the speech, and what was the record.

Chen Gong thought for a while: "It's also terrible to say that it's terrible. If these four families work together to attack us, we will indeed be a little unbearable. But it's not impossible to solve it. Zijing said it right. If we first arrange the troops, horses, food and grass, we can gain a great opportunity. At the same time, we can also send people to Nanyang to support Zhang Lu. We will go to Jingzhou to ask Liu Biaodong to attack Yuan Shu, Liangzhou, and Ma Teng to attack Jizhou."

When Lu Su heard this, he said that this method was good. He had a long and nearby attack. This diplomacy was a mess.

"I am willing to go to Jingzhou to persuade Liu Biaodong to attack Yuan Shu."

Lu Bu thought about it and shook his head: "A gentleman does not set up a dangerous wall, and things that cannot be obtained on the battlefield will also not be obtained through the territory of Yuan Shu. The danger is too high. Yuan Shao will make an alliance here, coupled with the pre-war preparations, and we have enough time to deal with it."
