Chapter [165] Jia Xu Persuades Him Again
Lu Bu frowned, and Yan Shi could know what Lu Bu was feeling. Seeing Lu Bu's expression, Yan Shi couldn't help worrying: "Husband, what happened?"
"Well, little trouble." Lu Bu smiled, "You take Mi Er back first."
"Are you coming back for dinner tonight?" Yan Shi asked before getting into the car.
"Go back and prepare more." Lu Bu said nonchalantly.
After sending Yan Shi and Zhen Mi away, Lu Bu came up to the crowd and said, "Deheng, immediately start building new types of weapons, regardless of the cost."
"My lord, that drunken ox tendon
"All the 30,000 cows in the pasture were slaughtered, their tendons were skinned, and they were made into crossbows and leather armor." Lu Bu said without hesitation.
"My lord, what about the cattle?" Zhang Liao hurriedly reminded.
Lu Bu shook the letter in his hand and explained: "News came from Hebei that Cao Cao contacted Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce. Seven days after the spring plowing, he killed me, a national traitor, at the Suanzao Huimeng, on the side of the Qing emperor."
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and at the same time understood why Lu didn't want to build ordnance at any cost.
The princes of the four routes came together to attack. If they couldn't hold it, no matter how many cattle they had, it would be useless.
"After the spring plowing is over, all the cattle will be slaughtered immediately to ensure that there will be a harvest this year." Lu Bu made an arrangement, and then looked at Ma Jun, "Is thirty thousand cattle enough?"
"If it's not enough, go and ask for all the cattle from the Qiang people. It should be enough anyway, right?"
Ma Jun nodded again and again, "Enough, completely enough."
"I'll leave the ordnance to you." Lu Bu paused, "Time is running out. Before the coalition forces launch an attack, they must be built. Can it be done?"
"Yes." Ma Jun nodded and said: "There are many mature craftsmen under the humble job, and the ordnance is relatively simple, as long as there are enough materials, there is no difficulty in making it.
"There is one more thing." Lu Bu continued: "Before spring plowing in the coming year, you must improve the existing agricultural tools to create plows that can be pulled by horses, or even plows that can be pulled by people.
This year the cattle will be slaughtered after spring plowing, but next year's spring plowing will not be guaranteed.
Resisting the current enemy is the top priority, and ensuring smooth spring plowing in the coming year is also the top priority.
Otherwise, if the coalition forces are blocked and the agricultural production in Guanzhong collapses, the foundation laid by Lu Bu will still fall apart.
It can be said that Lu Bu pinned his hopes on Ma Jun, and it depends on whether Ma Jun can build an advanced plow.
Of course, Lu Bu is not completely gambling. On the one hand, Ma Jun is indeed a genius, and on the other hand, there is a system.
At present, Lu Bu still has 60,000 points. After fighting against the coalition of princes, the points must exceed 100,000.
There is also the artisan skill in the points mall. It costs 100,000 to fill up the artisan, and it will definitely be able to create an advanced plow. This is also Lu Bu's last resort, and no matter what, it can ensure the smooth progress of spring plowing next year.
"My lord, don't worry, I have researched agricultural tools in my early years, and I will definitely be able to build them, and I will live up to my lord's expectations!" Ma Jun issued a military order, full of confidence.
With such a heavy responsibility, being able to be so highly valued by Lu Bu, a man who dies for his confidant, also ignited Ma Jun's passion for invention and creation, and ten minutes to build a more labor-saving plow.
"Yes." Lu Bu didn't say anything more, and ordered: "Go and inform the officials, the general's residence will discuss matters."
Ma Jun didn't get involved, so he stayed in Jiangzuo prison, immediately summoned his subordinates, Ma Zi, and ordered to start working quickly.
Although the beef tendons and tendons are not in place, you can build the main body of the bed crossbow first, and finally install the bowstring.
Lu Bu returned to the General's Mansion with five generals. At this time, the civil and military officials were notified and were already waiting in the General's Mansion.
The generals above the middle ranks of the army, the horse boys under Jia Xu, and the officials in central Shu led by Zhang Song, all arrived.
At this time, everyone was wondering whether Lu had lost his mind and planned to make a little progress, but they were still trying to persuade him to get in.
However, after seeing the dignified expressions of Lu Bu and the five generals, everyone felt that something big must happen, and it must not be a happy event.
"Report carefully." Lu Bu looked at the crowd, and said slowly: "Cao Cao joined forces with Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce to form an alliance, just like how he dealt with Dong Zhuo back then, and they are ready to join forces to attack me."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!
This is definitely not good news. Although there are only four princes, it is much less than the Eighteenth Route princes back then, but these four princes are not much stronger than they were back then.
At the beginning, the biggest princes were just the shepherds of a state.
Today's four princes each have more than one state, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are still princes of the same level as Lu Bu.
The number of enemy troops to face this time is at least three times that of our own.
"My lord, what are your plans?" Jia Xu asked.
"Defend!" Lu Bu said: "The terrain in Guanzhong is the most conducive to defense. Even if there are millions of troops, it is impossible to attack."
"What's more, the opposite side is not of one mind. I am best at dealing with alliances." Lu Bu sneered: "The four alliances, to put it nicely, will eventually be in harmony. It is no different from the Eighteenth Route Allied Forces."

"During the Warring States Period, when the Six Kingdoms Alliance attacked Qin, which one succeeded? After all, the Six Kingdoms could not work together, and the same was true for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who also could not work together
Therefore, there is nothing to be afraid of. Once the battle is unfavorable, they will quickly split inside. "
Lu Bu's tone was sonorous and powerful, and his words were full of confidence, which immediately infected everyone, and he was not as worried as before.
After all, he has 110 points of charm [this is not a decoration.
"My lord, should we defend Guanzhong with all our strength, or garrison the whole territory?" Zhang Song asked again.
With nearly 200,000 troops, if they garrison Guanzhong with all their strength, there is no doubt that no matter how many coalition forces come, Guanzhong can hold the firepower, but Bingzhou, Bashu, and Hanzhong may be lost.
0.......
If the troops are stationed in various places, there is a possibility of being defeated.
Therefore, how to defend is a matter that urgently needs to be determined.
Be careful and guard the pass with all your strength? Or divide the troops to garrison and not give up an inch of land.
Everyone fell into deep thought when they heard the words, and began to consider which defensive strategy was better.
Lu Bu smiled when he saw this, "Don't worry about this for now, it depends on what offensive strategy the opponent adopts, and then we can deploy defensive strategies in response."
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, Zhang Song hurriedly said: "My lord, I'm afraid it's too late!"
"Don't worry." Lu Bu waved his hand, "We have a detailed operation in the coalition army. The position is high enough to find out the detailed attack plan. It will definitely be sent to our army before the coalition army launches an attack."
The opponent's offensive strategy will, without accident, be determined during the Suanzao alliance.
As Yuan Shao's confidant, Xu You will definitely attend as a counselor.
At that time, Lu Bu will know in advance whether the coalition forces will concentrate their forces to attack Guanzhong or disperse their forces.
When everyone heard what Lu Bu said, they couldn't help being very surprised. Lu Bu even installed a high-level spy to know the coalition's attack plan in the first place. This is not something ordinary people can do, and they must be people in high positions.
The more everyone thought about it, the more frightened they became, and at the same time they became more confident about this battle.
"If that's the case, the coalition forces are nothing to worry about this time." Zhang Song said pleasantly.
At this time, Jia Xu suddenly interjected: "My lord, you should consider going a step further."
