Chapter 256: Heavy infantry can't be afforded, why can Lin Yang afford heavy cavalry!

Third year of Chuping, early second month, Xuzhou City

"Zhongde, Baggage train, I will leave these matters to you two!"

At the city gate, Lin Yang was now earnestly instructing Cheng Yu and Especially Mi Zhu!

He could leave this coal, iron ore, and salt to them!

Whether they could be converted into combat effectiveness depended on Cheng Yu and the others!

"My lord, rest assured!"

Nodding firmly to Lin Yang, Cheng Yu, Especially Mi Zhu, and others all understood the importance of these materials very well!

After instructing everyone, Lin Yang led Taishi Ci's 25,000 troops and headed straight for Peng Cheng!

Now at the border of Xuzhou, Zhao Yun and Yuan Gonglu's armies had already clashed!

As Lin Yang's army set off, Cheng Yu, Especially Mi Zhu, and others finally breathed a sigh of relief!

In just a few days!

The shock brought to them was truly too great!

100,000 jin of iron ore, 100,000 jin of salt!

And a pile of coal, etc.!

The things Lin Yang brought out were truly too shocking!

Salt, and it was refined salt!

Lin Yang had sold two million jin of it once before!

But that transaction was a one-time deal!

This 100,000 jin of salt was a long-term business!

200,000 jin of refined salt would be sold every month!

That was two million jin of refined salt a year!

One-tenth of the salt trade in the Great Han world was about to be monopolized by them!

And this was just the refined salt provided by Lin Yang!

You must know!

Xuzhou also produced sea salt!

He reckoned one-fifth of the salt trade in the entire Great Han world would be controlled by Xuzhou!

What a figure that was!

"The lord's materials are truly abundant!"

Sighing in his heart, Especially Mi Zhu was also full of motivation at this moment!

As the person in charge of money in Xuzhou, he was already imagining the future!

He must bring enough profit to Lin Yang!

Leaving the coal, salt, and iron ore to Cheng Yu, Lin Yang felt much more at ease!

"My lord, according to the military report from the front, Zilong and E'lai have already led troops to block Yuan Gonglu's two-way army!"

On the way, Guo Jia, after the shock of Xuzhou City, also returned to calm!

Pointing to Peng Cheng and Xia Qiu on the map, he analyzed the current situation for Lin Yang!

Currently, Yuan Gonglu led 100,000 troops, with one route led by the great general Ji Ling with 40,000 troops attacking Peng Cheng, the seat of Peng Cheng Commandery!

One route was led by Yuan Gonglu himself, leading 60,000 troops to attack Xia Qiu in Xiapi Commandery!

"Hehe, Yuan Gonglu has a good appetite, swallowing two commanderies of mine in one breath, not afraid of choking to death!"

Seeing Yuan Gonglu's 100,000 troops actually daring to split up to attack his two commanderies!

Lin Yang was immediately amused!

Compared to that guy Yuan Benchu!

This Yuan Gonglu was undoubtedly even more of a fool!

No wonder his strategists all ran away!

Just wearing the name of a family that held the highest offices for four generations, yet he was an arrogant and conceited person!

"My lord, should we dispatch troops to Peng Cheng, or?"
