Chapter 116 Lack of equipment and training is also poor

As Xun You expected, Lu Bu entered Xuzhou without returning to Xia Pi, but went directly to Pengcheng.

Two thousand soldiers led by Zang Ba were stationed outside the city.

The people they escorted have entered the city.

In addition, Qingzhou military families rushed to the scene one after another.

After the Battle of Xia Pi, Pengcheng, which was slaughtered by Cao Cao, was once dead.

There were 340,000 people migrating from Qingzhou and Mount Tai.

With the migration of population, Pengcheng, which had once died, has a life of vitality.

Chen Gong came here and assigned the city's residences to immigrants, but many people still couldn't settle down.

Immigration has only arrived in one place, many things have not yet been done, and more people are doing nothing.

Once a person is idle, he always has to find something to do.

Fightings, robberies and other things happen almost every day in Pengcheng Street.

Some beautiful women will meet idle people who come forward to find trouble even if they go out with their families.

Leading 30,000 troops, Lu Bu came many days later than Chen Gong.

The army was about to arrive outside the city, and Zang Ba received the news to greet him first.

Seeing Lu Bu from afar, Zang Ba urged the horse to leave quickly.

When he came to him, he greeted Lu Bu: "I have met Wen Hou."

"Yi Gao actually came earlier than me." Lu Bu smiled and replied: "How many days have you been here? Have you entered the city?"

"It's been three or four days." Zang Ba replied: "Chen Gongtai is not allowed to enter the city, so he is still stationed outside the city."

"There is the same on the public platform." Lu Bu said: "Yigao is not an outsider, how can he not let him enter the city?"

"You can't blame him." He is also acquaintance with Chen Gong, but Zang Ba can understand him: "He doesn't have many defenders. If I have two hearts, how can he defend Pengcheng with his little one?"

Lu Bu laughed: "Yigao was joking."

The scout had long reported to Zang Ba that Lu Bu brought an army of tens of thousands of people.

With mentally prepared, he was still secretly surprised when the soldiers were about to be overwhelmed.

How long has it been to Mount Tai? Lu Bu actually brought back so many soldiers.

If he had enough time to develop, he would not know what kind of situation he would be strong.

Zang Ba glanced at the army behind Lu Bu: "Wen Hou didn't have many days to go to Mount Tai, but he actually brought back so many soldiers. In a short time, Xuzhou will definitely become one of the most powerful places in the Central Plains."

"There are indeed many soldiers and horses, but they are negligent in training." Lu Bu said: "The weapons and armor are old, and the soldiers go to the battlefield, just to give heads to the enemy to chop. The number of people and poor quality is the most deadly."

"General Sun sent someone to send a letter saying that General Gao had arrived in Qingzhou." Zang Ba said: "With General Gao, it will take not long before Wen Hou will have an available army."

Zang Ba accompanied Lu Bu towards Peng Zheng.

Chen Gong also brought a group of officials to the city gate to wait.

Seeing Lu Bu from afar, Chen Gong led everyone to meet him quickly.

Seeing the army behind Lu Bu, the officials all stared at the eyes of surprise.

Not long ago, Xuzhou was still short of soldiers and food.

Although there is not much money now and there is not much reserve of food, it is not that short of money after all.

Especially the army.

A few days ago, there were only thousands of soldiers in Xuzhou, but now there are dark soldiers and horses that cannot be seen.

Many officials even suspected that they were still in their dreams when welcoming Lu Bu, who led his army.

After meeting Chen Gong, Lu Bu asked, "How did the public station settle the people?"

"There are too many people sent by Wen Hou." Chen Gong replied: "When Pengcheng was at its peak, there were not so many people..."

"In other words, I haven't settled yet?" Lu Bu interrupted him.

"The city really can't be settled." Chen Gong replied: "I plan to divide some people out of the city and let them build villages to open up land and farm."

"It coincides with what I thought." Lu Bu asked, "I wonder if the public station has arranged it?"

"Not yet." Chen Gong said: "There are too many involvement in clearing land and farming, so you have to find a safe way."

"It's a good thing not to distribute people." Lu Bu said: "It must be necessary to open up land and farm. Pengcheng is much larger than Xia Pi. I don't want this place to become a city that is just used for living and dealing with suppliers."

The role of a city is mostly about living and merchants.

The government orders were also issued from the city.

When foreign enemies attack, the city also assumes the responsibility of defending against enemy enemies.

But the meaning revealed in Lu Bu's words is to open up other functions of the city.

"What is Wen Hou planning to do in the city?" Chen Gong asked, accompanying Lu Bu towards the city gate.

"Look at the troops I brought on the official station." Lu Bu turned around.

Chen Gong's eyes were on the 30,000 Qingzhou Army: "Wen Hou went to Mount Tai and brought the Qingzhou Army. It was mighty and majestic, with a large number of people..."

"I want you to see not these things, but what are the disadvantages of the Qingzhou army?" Lu Bu interrupted him.

"I originally planned to talk about the disadvantages, but I was worried that Wen Hou would be unhappy after hearing this." Chen Gong said: "Although Qingzhou has a large number of soldiers, the queues are scattered and the soldiers are old. Many soldiers' armors actually have white mold, and their weapons are mostly rusted. To be honest, I don't think so."

"With their current state, I dare not expect to win a battle." Lu Bu changed the topic: "Has Xiahou Dun left?"

"I've left long ago." Chen Gong replied: "Wen Hou didn't ask, I was planning to say that there was a spy's return, saying that something happened to Xu Du."

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong.

"Dong Cheng contacted a group of people and tried to kill Cao Cao, but Cao Cao took the handle." Chen Gong said: "It is said that Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and others were taken to the entrance of the street to be executed. Even Dong Concubine beside His Majesty..."

Clothing and belt edict!

Chen Gong mentioned that Dong Cheng and others were killed, and Lu Bu immediately reacted.

When he went to Xudu, Dong Cheng thought about winning over it.

At that time, Lu Bu did not leave immediately, not only did he not give Dong Cheng a chance, but instead got seven dancers from him.

"How is Dong Cheng's family?" Lu Bu asked, "I mean the actors and beautiful girls he raised."

"Everyone who doesn't stay is killed." Chen Gong said: "When Cao Cao does this, how could he leave even half a living person to the Dong family?"

Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh that if he had been "serious" at that time and refused to the seven beautiful girls, they would have died.

"If these things happen, Cao Cao will definitely be furious." Lu Bu said: "It won't take long to send someone to us to attack Huainan."

"What should Wen Hou do?" Chen Gong asked.

"Huainan wants to fight, but it can't fight so smoothly." Lu Bu said: "Our fangs are still very tender and we don't have the ability to compete with the Cao family. Too early to show our strength will only cause death. The slower we advance, the more chances we will survive."
