"The concubine knows that her husband is worried, but it is difficult to solve her husband's worries." Yan Lan seemed to feel Lu Bu's depression, and said in a somewhat choked tone.

"Lan'er, don't think about it too much, and now the state is very good, and it is also very good to be a husband, as long as a few ladies can be safe, the rest are trivial." Lu Bu smiled and said with relief.

"Although the husband did not say it explicitly, the concubine and several sisters, but there is a bad premonition, husband, no matter what his day, the concubine and several sisters, will follow the husband's side, these years the husband in order to merge the state, the east and the west, every time, we are frightened in the Hou Mansion, but the concubine knows that the husband is for the hundreds of thousands of people in the state, only hates the concubine is a daughter, can not fight for the husband."

Lu Bu's expression was sluggish when he heard this, and he gently patted Yan Lan's back and said, "Lan'er, everything will pass, with you supporting your husband behind your back, even if there are many difficulties, your husband can overcome them." ”

Jizhou, Yecheng, after half a month of negotiations, the envoys of the Quartet finally reached an agreement.

Attacking and merging states, mainly by the Han family, Jingzhou sent 60,000 soldiers and horses, Jizhou sent 60,000 troops, Yanzhou sent 60,000 troops, Jiangdong sent 40,000 troops, grain and grass needs, by all parties are responsible for themselves, and Yuan Shao is to do the work of Yuan Shu when the princes will be allied, responsible for the unified dispatch of grain and grass, after breaking through Lu Bu, Yuan Shao occupies Youzhou, Cao Cao occupies Bingzhou and Hanoi, Jingzhou occupies the land of Chang'an, Cao Cao ceded Guangling, Xiapi land, after breaking through the state, obtained Jin wine, Jin paper, divine glass and the craftsman's workshop in the blade armor equipment building method, It is divided equally by the four parties.

The method of building the thunderbolt and the bed crossbow is interconnected, and all parties are scheduled to send troops to gather in Yin, Henan Province in September this year.

Sun Ce originally didn't want to participate in this war, but he couldn't resist the huge temptation brought by this war, if the number of troops sent by the Quartet reached 220,000, it was very likely that the state would be broken, and the princes would be sent to the battlefield by the time of the time must be elite soldiers and strong generals.

Under the persuasion of Zhou Yu, Sun Ce decided to send troops, if he could get Guangling and Xiapi, he would have the capital to further win the Central Plains, as for the threat from the Cao army after occupying Guangling and Xiapi, the Jiangdong army was not afraid, Liu Bei fought for the Cao army, which did not mean that the Jiangdong army could not defeat the Cao army.

In terms of military strength, although the Bingzhou army is strong, but in the princes' army, the cavalry has tiger and leopard cavalry, and the infantry has the first dead soldiers, which is not weaker than the state, not to mention that in such a huge battlefield, even if the strength of the flying cavalry and the sun archer is strong, it is difficult to play a big role, as long as it can break through the Huguan, it is to break the barrier that the state relies on.

How strong Dong Zhuo's strength was back then, it was not broken by the princes' coalition army, but now the princes have more soldiers and horses together than they did at the beginning, and the princes' military strength is stronger.

Since Lu Bu sent troops, the Han newspaper has repeatedly seen the news that the Youzhou army attacked the city and conquered the city, and the state army wiped out the rebels, but this time, the state once again organized the sale of Jin wine, Shenli, Xianlian, Jin paper and even war horses.

If the princes of Shenli, Jin wine and other things can be restrained, the temptation of war horses for them is difficult to refuse, although they know that this is Lu Bu preparing for the next war, the princes still decided to secretly attack, cavalry is a crucial factor in determining the outcome on the battlefield, this has not changed.

After occupying the grassland, the number of war horses is extremely large, and if you can secretly get a sufficient number of war horses, it will be necessary in future wars.

The reason why the Bingzhou army is strong is not because of the camp, nor because of the strong crossbowmen, but because of the strong cavalry.

The most attractive to businessmen is not only the original price of Jinyang again eighty percent of the means, but the so-called membership system, as long as you become a member of the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce, you can enjoy eighty percent of the price when you buy materials in Jinyang in the future, provided that the consumption in the state reaches a certain amount.

This time, the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce gave the price of rice grain, which was half higher than the ordinary price, which was an incredible price, even if it was an ordinary price, the businessmen who secretly controlled the price of rice and grain also earned a lot from it, and it was half higher than the ordinary price, which was enough to make many businessmen crazy.

The princes also felt the extraordinary taste from the action of the merger, they were sure that Lu Bu got the things that the princes wanted to unite, no matter how hidden the joint things were, and there were not a few of the princes' meticulous work, as long as they probed carefully, they could also find some information from some clues.

After the princes of the four parties secretly united, they decided to suppress the strength of the Chamber of Commerce held in Jinyang this time, after all, it was a critical period before the attack on the annexation of the state, once the annexation was broken, these things were still theirs, and once Lu Bu got enough grain, grass and materials, the annexation army would be even more difficult to deal with.

The princely families were warned, but there were some merchants who took the risk and were not afraid of being discovered as long as they were done properly.

Besides, the most important thing for the princes to rule the land is the family with courage, the family is intertwined, there are orders above, and the people below still have their methods, many merchants are secretly hoarding grain and grass, preparing to go to the state, they don't worry about the war between the princes, the war consumes not their grain and grass, and they are most concerned about enough benefits.

In the face of such a situation, the princes can only turn a blind eye and let those families toss, and even the princes secretly send merchants to merge the state, ready to buy war horses on a large scale, regardless of whether the state can survive the crisis, the princes' demand for war horses will not be reduced, if they do not make a move to be preempted by other princes, it will be extremely unfavorable for future development.

And Lu Bu led his guards to Baibo Valley, wanting to support a large-scale war, the demand for materials is huge, blade armor and city defense equipment occupy a large proportion, and the craftsman workshop in Baibo Valley is also where Lu Bu's confidence against the princes lies.

As long as the Craftsman Workshop can be far ahead of the princes in terms of equipment, it will play a vital role in the ensuing war.

Craftsman's workshop, since receiving the order from the state governor's office, the craftsmen in the Baibo Valley have been working day and night to create blades and armor.

When Lu Bu saw Ma Jun, Pu Yuan, and Cheng Tie's eyes were red, his heart warmed, and these people also contributed their own strength to protect the state.
