Lu Peng's logistical supply still implements his purchase from merchants, which not only reduces his own consumption, but also activates the local economy, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

At the same time, this method has also been welcomed by the hands of the majority of businessmen and families, because this is to make war money, what is the most profitable business in the world? - War money.

Along the way, there were always businessmen's cronies who came to contact them early, agreeing to prepare sufficient grain, grass, salt and vegetables for the army at a certain place.

Especially knowing that Lu Peng's army must have meat for every meal, those merchants spared no effort to purchase meat, quietly hoarded it in the castles of the clans along the way, and once the army arrived, they immediately rushed up with the materials in their hands.

At the end of each march, when Lü Peng's barracks had not yet settled down, countless merchants' convoys had surrounded the entire barracks, and then they met Lü Peng in turn, told the names of the grain and grass materials they carried, quoted their prices, and waited for the army to receive them.

Even if the grain and grass materials exceeded the needs of his army during this period of time, he would collect all the orders, count the amounts, negotiate the price, and then give these merchants an IOU, and let them go to various money banks to withdraw money, or go to Luxian or Quanzhou salt farms to extract equivalent salt.

Through the last negotiation of Yuan Shao in order to let Lu Peng not send troops, the money village in Youzhou has been in full bloom in all states and counties in Yizhou, and now Lu Peng does not have to drag a cart of money to march like before, as long as a fluttering paperwork, these businessmen can immediately get the steel coins they should get in the nearest county, so that the two sides can buy and sell more quickly and conveniently, and both sides are happy.

There are two reasons why Lu Peng did not hesitate to waste and buy the grain and grass materials sent by all the merchants, one was that he could not discourage the enthusiasm of the merchants, and the other was that as the army moved south, he used the method of cash for work to save the countless people who were surrounding the camp.

Lu Peng has now issued an order to recruit young and strong people in distress and homeless, repair the roads behind them, so as to facilitate the operation of military supplies for the army, and each young man should do one day's work every day, give 20 catties of food, and work for himself for ten days at the shortest.

This amount and time were strictly calculated by Lu Peng, as long as a laborer worked for one day, he could completely ensure the food and drink of at least five people in a family behind them, as long as they worked hard for ten days, they made careful calculations, and the remaining grain could be held until they really controlled the area and implemented real cash-for-work.

As for the lack of tools to build roads, Lu Peng doesn't take this matter to heart at all, because his purpose is only to help the people in the name of work for relief, and it doesn't matter if you have the tools or not, even if you use your hands to put a few handfuls of soil on the roadbed every day, Lu Peng will kindly settle for you according to your day's wages.

And in order to let those women and the elderly have some income, not to watch their children sorrow, but also to leave a mouthful for their children and willingly starve to death, Lu Peng left a team every 50 miles, let those women, children and the elderly, do what they can, even if there is nothing to do, Lu Peng stipulated, even if it is to dig some wild vegetables in the four fields and come back, or simply walk ten miles and come back, it is considered to have completed their task and give them ten catties of grain as wages.

As a result, when such a policy was announced, the poor people in the surrounding area flocked to it, and the people in front of them were even more inclined to the Lu family's army, and more and more people greeted the Lu family's army, and there were more and more grain and grass materials needed along the way.

But fortunately, the price that Lu Peng promised to those merchants not only attracted countless merchants, but also made the families along the way red-eyed. The war money, especially the war money with a very high reputation and never in arrears, made all the people rush to it, so a steady stream of grain and grass was transported to Lu Peng's military camp, and then Lu Peng bought these grain and grass at a high price, and then continued to help the people along the way in the form of work for relief.

Such a virtuous circle, although Lu Peng paid twice the price, but quickly bought the hearts of the people in Yizhou, so that all the people really felt that becoming a member of the Youzhou Group was a very happy thing, from now on, even if Cao Cao immediately entered Yizhou, he would never sit firmly in this position, this is the people's heart.

As a result, there was such a situation, Lü Peng was originally prepared to rush forward with the whole army regardless of the rear road, in order to gain time, quickly rush to the banks of the Yellow River, occupy various ferries, and block Cao Cao's passage to the north. As a result, all the prefectures and counties along the way surrendered, or the officials were directly expelled by the people, and the worries were completely solved.

The rest is to run, to see if Cao Cao ran past Lu Peng's four wheels, or if Lu Peng's four wheels ran past Cao Cao.

In each place, a squad of ten people was left to become the backbone of the hearts of the local people, and the rest of the army went all out to the south, south and south.

Day and night, the rumbling sound of wheels echoed on the Yizhou Plain, the smoke and dust were billowing during the day, and the torches were blazing at night, and the affairs of the people not only did not drag down the advance of the army, but became the guarantee for the advance of the army.

"Speed, what I need is speed, even if I kill these precious horses pulling carts." Sitting in the car, Lu Peng, who was suffering from a dry mouth and a pain in his liver and gallbladder, shouted encouragement to the soldiers around him who were rushing like a big river.

At this time, there was no propaganda team, so it could only be Lu Peng who personally went into battle, holding his copper horn, and loudly mobilizing the brothers who were rushing in front of him.

"Victory is at your feet, now it's nothing to have a little blood blister under your feet, it won't cost you your life, once we haven't run past Cao Cao, then we are trying to get what we want, then we have to exchange our lives, come on, everyone." Now Lu Peng has shouted hoarsely, but he still insists.

"Drink some water." The soldier handed the kettle, and Lu Peng immediately took it, and raised his neck to pour it violently.

After drinking enough, he asked the commander of the Jinyi guard beside him: "How far is it from the Yellow River?" ”

The commander took out a map and carefully compared the current position of his army, and then reported: "We are now two hundred and ten miles away from the Yellow River. ”

"Two hundred miles." Lu Peng frowned and muttered: "According to our current marching speed, it will take at least two days, and if we follow the law of walking slower and slower, we will have at least three days, no, we must continue to speed up to do it." ”
