The Zang Ba army and the Danyang soldiers in Xuzhou army are all very powerful in mountain combat, but they also have no match for the northern mountains and forests.

Especially the Danyang soldiers belong to the south. Once they reach the forest where heavy snow covers the mountains in the north, they will be confused. Not to mention fighting, survival in winter is a problem.

Lu Bu did not intend to send Zhang He to wipe out the remnants of Tadun's troops, but if this shortcoming was issued, it would be necessary to make up for it. Only in this way can the Xuzhou army advance.

Zhang He is still very good at training troops, and Lu Bu sent a helper some time ago, who is Yu Jin?

Yu Jin, who is very skilled in martial arts, but is proficient in military training. He arranged the construction of civil fortifications to prevent rockets during the Battle of Puyang.

Yu Jin surrendered to Lu Bu, after all, no one has a position.

But Lu Bu's order is very clear. If he can surrender, he will stay; if he can't surrender, he will be killed.

Zhuge Jin did several ideological work for Yu Jin, and Yu Jin defected to Xuzhou because Xuzhou's basic strength was too strong.

First of all, there are food and grass. The piles of food and grass are piled up, which is something that Cao Cao can't compare to no amount of tombs.

The second is the livestock. There are several horse farms and cattle farms around Jinan County alone.

Especially mules, there were few mules at that time, and Yu Jin had never seen them. Suddenly, he found that using the unpretentious Hun horse and the common donkeys could produce mules with great strength and good temper.

In the farming era, the farmland and the animals pulling carts determine the strength of their overall strength. Xuzhou alone has already won. Being able to develop so many mules in such a short time means that Xuzhou's strength is so strong that it is beyond remarkable.

Seeing that Lu Bu was coming, Yu Jin was somewhat unable to stand his face.

Lu Bu didn't care at all: "Wenze, how about Jinan County? Are you still adapting?"

Yu Jin hurriedly said, "Thank you for your concern, you are very adaptable. Jinan has beautiful mountains and waters. The food in the army is so good, I have gained weight."

"Practice the soldiers in Jinan and wait for the spring to be transferred to Teng Country to train new recruits."

"Yes, General."

Yu Jin was still a good man. He was the first general of Cao's army to surrender to Xuzhou army. Lu Bu gave Yu preferential treatment, arranged a mansion, and rewarded the land. A large part of it was for other generals of Cao's army to see, but unfortunately, the main force of Cao's generals were basically Cao Cao's own family, either cousin or cousin, so it was difficult for Lu Bu to win over.

Lu Bu was very envious of this. He was not like his elder brother or a cousin.

After Lu Bu inspected the military camp, he and Zhuge Liang entered the city and arrived at the county magistrate's mansion in the evening.

Lu Bu arrived at the yamen and then trotted out of the government office.

"Lord, this is a sudden attack."

Lu Bu smiled and said, "This is not a sudden attack, it is too busy during the day. Come to your place with Kong Ming to see it at night."

"During this period, I'm worried every day, so I'm almost writing a letter to my lord."

"Oh, why is this?"

Zhuge Jin looked at Zhuge Liang next to him, "My second brother is still young after all. Although he is really capable, he is prone to underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly. The lord was still hastily expedition to Wuhuan this time."

"It's a sloppy?"

"Yes, lord, please think about how many feet I have fought this year, Sun Ce, and took down Jinling. Jiangxia, Nanyang, Chenliu, and Puyang. Then he rushed north and attacked Wuhuan. The lord and the Red Rabbit Horse were both thin, and our soldiers were exhausted and needed a good rest. The climate in the north was unpredictable, and a heavy snow that was unprepared would put the army in crisis. Fortunately, the lord returned victoriously."

Lu Bu thought, it was true that if it weren't for the system support, he would have been exhausted, and the transportation of materials would have exhausted people. "What Ziyu said is that I was too aggressive and learned a lesson and settled down to develop agriculture."

Zhuge Liang blushed beside him: "At that time, I was thinking of persuading my lord to strike while the iron is hot and attack Tadun's nest from Lu Long."

"My second brother has never been to the north. There is a kind of snow called white-haired wind. The wind blows as the snow blows, and the eyes can't even be opened. If the army doesn't have time to unfold its tent, it is likely to die of freezing and starvation."

Lu Bu thought for a moment: "But the remnants of Tadun must be pacified. What is the best way for Ziyu?"

"There is only one way: to build roads and build stations. Once the road is open, the Wuhuan people will no longer be there."

Zhuge Jin invited Lu Bu into the living room. After showing his salute, Zhuge Jin inquired in detail about the situation of the battle.

Zhuge Jin exclaimed: "The lord's luck is also overwhelming. If he can't do it, this battle will be fought. Now there are only the remaining troops left. Send troops to comfort him in the spring of next year, and divide him and govern him. The north can be determined. There are a large number of cattle and horses that continue to go south. The development of farming in the Central Plains is just around the corner."

"The established strategy now is to set the northern line of farming near Youzhou, and land is not allowed to be opened to the north of Youzhou. Keep the grassland well in order to produce more cattle and horses, and provide meat with cattle in the north, and provide military horses with horses in the north."

Speaking of cattle and horses, Zhuge Jin was very happy: "The Xiongnu cattle farms have begun to breed now, and the calves grow very healthy. They can be trained when they are one year old in spring. When they grow up, they will become excellent oxen."

"Oh, that's not bad. How is the horse farm developing?"

"I have been born about 1,500 small mules in the past six months. I believe it will take less than three years. There are mules everywhere in the farmland and those who pull carts on the roads. Mules are treasures, which bring together all the advantages of horses and donkeys. They have a good temper, and they are simply born for farming in the Central Plains. Now there are more than 100 large households cultivating mules, with more than a hundred horses and dozens of horses in the smallest."

Lu Bu was still very relieved about Zhuge Jin's work ability. He handed over the huge Qingzhou to him and the governance was steady and the chaos had never happened.

Zhuge Jin took out a stack of documents from the inner room. Xuzhou's papermaking technique was already very experienced. Now the government has long abandoned the bulky bamboo slips and used paper records instead.

"From the beginning of the year to now, a total of 5,600 mules over two years old have been sold, all of which are well-trained mules that can pull carts and cultivate the land. There are more than 3,000 mules sold among the people, and now there are mules, donkeys, yellow oxes, and three-legged tripods that stand on the farm. This year, the corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and pumpkins in Jinan County have been harvested. In addition to eating enough, they also have full storage of official warehouses and charity warehouses."

"Okay, teach the people more about raising pigs, sheep, and store more food to prevent famines. Taishan County and Dongguan County, two originally poor counties, have become rich by raising pigs, and are much better than before. Ordinary farmers raise two pigs at home, kill one of them to make bacon during the Chinese New Year, and sell one of them to exchange for some pocket money, and their lives are getting better and better every year."
