Lu Su is coming, the situation is not clear yet, and he has not expressed too much opinion, but just calculated the time.

"According to normal calculations, it's about August, and it's winter that they're sending troops. It's difficult to fight in the cold winter, and it's likely that it's next spring."

Chen Gong slapped the table: "We in Xuzhou have sufficient money and food, and strong soldiers and horses. Why wait for them to attack us? At that time, the three battles will be difficult to deal with. I want to take the initiative and defeat them one by one."

Lu Bu was quite satisfied: "What are the specific ideas of the public station?"

Chen Gong pointed at the finger: "Yuan Shu in Huainan is at the end of his strength, and he is already making his last struggle. After taking Danyang County, Hefei is already in his pocket. Zhang Liao and Zang Ba attack together, and it will not take more than half a month to take Hefei. Why are Yuan Shu jumping around in Hefei? It is difficult to protect himself, so where can he have a chance to attack?"

Zhang Liao and Zang Ba had more than 8,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry soldiers. It was easy to take Hefei. Ji Ling's department in Danyang County also led more than 10,000 troops. Considering that Ji Ling was embarrassed in Hefei in the past, he just wanted to leave him to stay in Danyang.

The reason is nothing special. The cavalry of Zhang Liao and Zang Ba have been equipped with iron armor, and thousands of infantry equipped with iron armor. With such a great advantage, even if you use a group of people, you can defeat Hefei. What's more, Zhang Liao and Zang Ba are famous generals of the world, both civil and military.

After more than a year of development, Guangling County has not much money now, but due to the use of new agricultural tools, wheelbarrows and racks, the grain is sufficient. The rice is piled up in the government warehouse, the fish and shrimp resources in the lake are abundant, and the grain and vegetables grown in Zhangliao's military farms are not required to mobilize grain and grass from Xuzhou to fight Hefei, which saves a lot of costs.

Lu Bu nodded: "No, good idea, take down Hefei to severely damage Yuan Shu and intimidate Sun Ce. Wang Zhubo, transported crossbow trucks, shields, bows and arrows from the treasury, a small amount of compressed military rations, air-dried beef jerky, and herbal pills to treat trauma. Arrange people to deliver them as soon as possible, and strictly prevent and pay attention to safety along the way."

General Wang Heng had three thousand baggage troops in the logistics, but they could only be considered second-class soldiers. Compared with Liao Hua's baggage troops, Liao Hua now leads his troops to be responsible for the transportation between Youzhou.

"The lord will transfer a deputy general to a trip. The logistics soldiers are not good at combat effectiveness, and I am afraid there will be problems at critical moments."

"Okay, let's arrange for Cao Ping to lead a thousand Danyang soldiers to escort it and prepare as soon as possible."

"Okay lord."

Lu Bu asked again: "How to deal with Yuan Shao?"

Chen Gong was still very confident: "Yuan Shao should be asking for good fortune. Now the soldiers in Youzhou should be well trained. Hao Meng, Zhao Yun, Gao Lan, and the elite soldiers and generals can completely suppress Jizhou from the north. As for the more than 10,000 soldiers of Gaoshun, Jinan County, it is as solid as a rock. I am worried that it is Bohai County."

"Bohai County is fine. Although Tian Yu is a literati, he has a good way to lead troops. What's more, it's not far from Zhao Yun, so it's more convenient to support cavalry. It's better to send orders to transfer some more troops from Youzhou City to Bohai County. Six thousand soldiers and horses in one county are safe."

Chen Gong also agreed to this method and immediately issued a military order to transfer 2,000 troops from the new army reorganized in Youzhou to Tian Yu, Bohai County. At the same time, he asked Zhao Yun and Hao Mengli to prepare for their troops, train cavalry, and make an attacking attitude.

Wang Heng pointed at Xu Du: "Cao Cao is more difficult and has a deep grudge. However, Cao Cao's life is not easy. He has fought several times in a row this year, and their money and food are also a problem. He has killed people all day long, and he has suffered a lot of money and fighting."

"I will lead the troops to clean up him, and the five thousand cavalry went straight to his Xudu city and taught him a lesson." Lu Bu suddenly expressed his thoughts.

Everyone was startled: "This, this, this is a bit bold. I'm just afraid that Cao Cao would talk to the emperor again."

"We use the excuse of the emperor to pay homage to the emperor, and say that Cao thieves deceived the emperor and did not give him food and drink, and it would be difficult for the emperor to eat an egg. When he arrived outside Xudu City, he showed his power and exaggerated Cao Cao's face. In this way, no civil servants and generals in the world would go to him and surrender."

Chen Gong shook his head: "The lord has a good idea and it is easy to go there. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to come back when I come back. Cao Cao should not be anxious. After all, Cao Cao's total military force is still tens of thousands."

"Cao Cao's soldiers are different from ours. Our soldiers unified Xuzhou to send grain and pay silver. Cao Cao's soldiers were led by many wealthy gentry, and the wealthy families had to raise food and pay themselves.

The matter of dealing with Cao Cao was temporarily stranded. Military orders were issued overnight and the horses flew out tomorrow through the post station. The military orders were sent to Youzhou and Guangling.

Wang Heng went back to arrange the inventory of shields, bows and arrows and other supplies. The total logistics provided 200 people and 100 mule carts. Cao Ping led a thousand Danyang soldiers to escort along the way, all of whom were marching on his own territory, dozens of miles a station, and the risk was very low, and he intended to train Cao Ping.

Cao Ping has made good progress in martial arts, but he is still poor in hard work.

To lead troops to fight, even Lu Bu has to follow the army to march hard, and no soft and comfortable carriages are allowed to be arranged.

The next morning, Lu Su checked the training of the recruits, and then took a few entourages to take office at the Wenhou Drunk Factory in Xuzhou.

There was a follower named Lu Yong in Lu Su, and Lu Yong asked: "There are all called Fangs in other places, why is it called winery?"

Lu Su shook his head: "How can I know? Just go over and take a look."

The winery is in the east gate, and you can smell the faint smell of wine at a distance. It covers an area of ​​dozens of acres and is a very large yard.

The guards on duty at the door were on duty at the head of the logistics department. They were allowed to enter after checking the documents.

The three workshops inside are dozens of feet long. Workers come and go to transport raw materials and transport raw materials, and transport wine lees. It seems that there are still 200 or 300 people.

"Now you understand the difference between a winery and a winery. There are small-scale winery, three or five people. The winery has hundreds of people."

The deputy in charge of production came over to bring Lu Su to familiarize himself with the environment, and first changed his clothes and shoes into the production room.

In each workshop, dozens of workers are busy, using traditional craftsmanship. Dried sweet potatoes, sorghum, and barley are used as raw materials for fermentation, distillation, and filtering. After brewing, some of the wine is stored and part of it will be sold directly.

Lu Su lamented that Xuzhou had a lot of food. Take Yuan Shu in Huainan for example. In recent years, people were banned from brewing wine. Later, people were caught in a hurry. Anyone with wine utensils at home was arrested. Yuan Shu banned wine brewing not because of the official business of wine, but because there was not enough food to eat.

Lu Su asked the wine brewing supervisor: "The main raw material of our wine is dried sweet potatoes. Will it affect the taste?"

"The wine made with dried sweet potatoes has a good taste. In order to make the taste better, sorghum and barley are added. After fermentation, distillation, filtration and other processes, the wine produced has a very high degree of degree and is clear in color without any impurities."
