The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"It's really clan brother, are you all safe and sound?" Seeing that it was really Zhang Shiping, Zhang Kai became excited.

"Of course we are safe and sound, thanks to Liu Sima who escorted us all the way, otherwise we would not have dared to go back south!" Zhang Shiping smiled immediately, and he had to testify to Liu Tao.

"Sir, that businessman is my elder brother! The one next to him, as expected, should be Su Shuang, the eldest son of the Su family, please let Mrs. Su come and have a look..." Zhang Kai immediately looked at the prefect and the county lieutenant.

"Hmm..." The prefect was still worried, just to not be rude, so he came forward and shouted towards the city, "A few days ago, there were yellow scarf thieves pretending to be officers and soldiers to make money in the city, and they almost got their way, so we have to be cautious. If Liu Sima can trust us, how about going up in a hanging basket with that businessman surnamed Zhang?"

"Yes!" Liu Tao understood what he said, no wonder the defenders of this city were so cautious.Anyway, knowing that he was one of his own, there was nothing to be afraid of, so he agreed.

However, a minute later, he regretted it... The hanging basket is a basket tied with hemp rope to lift people up. In order to avoid being too heavy, it is necessary to take off the armor and weapons.Even so, sitting on it and lifting it all the way up is completely different from the elevator. It is wobbly, and you have to worry about whether the rope will break and you will fall down.

"Next time, I won't sit in this hanging basket for anything!" Liu Tao went up to the wall and immediately complained.

"Haha, Liu Sima is so courageous, how can he lead the troops?" The prefect joked, considering Liu Tao's reaction, he was relieved a lot. With him like this, no one would believe that he was a yellow scarf thief.

Most of the yellow turban thieves are vulgar rangers or villagers.Only those well-clothed, well-fed, pampered sons of good families could be like Liu Tao.

Needless to say, Zang Min, like the magistrate of Puyin, really regarded Liu Tao as a relative of Liu Yan, and his military experience was mixed.There is no way not to do this, just this courage, not to mention the county lieutenant, even the prefect thinks that he is not as good as himself!

"Originally, I was just in command of the army, and my two righteous brothers were in charge of the battle... Anyway, here are the documents of Governor Liu and the identity card. I wonder if this is okay?" Liu Tao directly took the talisman and documents Handed over.

Zang Min took it over, examined it carefully, and then checked Liu Tao's appearance before he was sure, and ordered the county captain next to him: "Open the city gate!"

The county lieutenant took the order and immediately ordered to open the city gate, so that Liu Tao's troops could enter the city smoothly.

"Everyone going south, you should pass through Puyin County and Wangdu County, right?" Zang Min asked Liu Tao suddenly as he led Liu Tao down the city wall.

"Speaking of..." Liu Tao thought for a while, "The heads of the more than [-] bandits in Wangdu County have not been sent back to Zhuo County. Do you want to show it to the prefect? ​​As for the heads of the more than [-] bandits in Puyin County, Two days ago, someone sent it over."

"Oh, then I really want to see..." Zang Min was not afraid, and nodded directly.

Liu Tao was speechless for a moment, this Zang Min was too cautious...

Chapter 60

Next, Liu Tao knew how cautious Zang Min was.They have already been let in, and the speed of entering the city and the number of people entering the city at the same time must be limited. The whole process is like preventing thieves.

Let people check those heads to see if there are old, weak, sick and disabled inside.Even knowing that Wangdu County and Puyin County had been recovered, on the one hand, he appreciated Liu Tao's decision, and on the other hand, he sent people to investigate and find out the exact situation.

"What on earth is he thinking?" Liu Tao couldn't help complaining in private.

"Maybe it's because I'm worried that I will falsely report my military achievements, or kill the good ones?" Lu Yan thought for a while, "After all, I waited for two thousand troops to go south and fought two big battles, but they didn't decrease but increased..."

"Didn't I say that they were recruited on the spot?" Liu Tao said angrily.

"That's why we have to be careful, whether there will be yellow turban thieves mixed in, you see, the place we arranged for rest is basically surrounded, as long as there is any abnormal movement, it will immediately cause trouble." Lu Yan pointed to the surroundings and said.

When he said that, Liu Tao realized that Zang Min had already prepared for this, and he was so cautious that it made people speechless.

If you ride north alone, you can go back and forth in almost one day, so you can basically verify the situation in the two places.In Lu Yan's view, Zang Min was also intimidated by Liu Tao's record in the two battles. After all, this is definitely not a fledgling army, and even before it was just... just an existence like Zhuang Ding can do it!

Taking advantage of the country's turmoil, there are many things that falsely report military achievements and kill good people. As the prefect of Zhongshan, Zang Min, naturally, this partial division from Youzhou will further damage Zhongshan County.

Invariably, Liu Tao didn't see Zang Min again almost at dusk. Instead, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang went back and visited at the same time.

"According to the agreement, when I return to Zhongshan County, I will pay the general five hundred horses. Now that the horses are outside the barracks, the general can send someone to check and receive them." Zhang Shiping took the initiative to come forward, followed by Su Shuang.

The two went back to talk to their family members, saying that Liu Tao came from an extraordinary background, and at the same time, he was quite miraculous, a rare commodity.If you don't invest now, it may not be easy to get closer in the future.

Su Shuang is the eldest son of the Su family, and can be regarded as the orthodox heir of the Su family. He has a lot of power to speak.In the end, the old lady spoke and agreed with him, the amount was half of the Su family's property, almost all of the floating wealth!

Zhang Shiping hasn't discussed it well yet, after all, it's a big business.At the same time, the Zhang family's main business is horses and animal husbandry. Cattle and sheep account for the majority. Horses are needed by the government and local tycoons.

Therefore, there are still internal discussions on how to invest better. At present, we are only sending the agreed [-] war horses, all of which are carefully selected good horses.

"Haha, brother Zhang didn't expect to remember this agreement. But you forgot, we only have more than 2000 people here, and there are not many good riders, and there are too many cavalry, which are also coveted. The number of seventy is enough for now." !” Liu Tao shook his head.

"It's just an agreement, it's an agreement. We wait for merchants, and the way of doing business is based on the word integrity!" Zhang Shiping shook his head, "Besides, there are three horses, which are prepared for the three commanders, so don't refuse!"

After speaking, he greeted immediately, and the servants led the three horses over.Different from ordinary war horses, the three horses are quite handsome, even if they are not BMWs, they are still good horses.

"The horse in the lead is the best famous Dawan horse in the Zhang family's ranch, named Zhuifeng. Of course it is not a purebred, but it has been improved by the Zhang family for several generations. It has both the speed and physique of a Dawan horse. And the gentleness of Xianbei horses." Zhang Shiping took one of them and sent it to Liu Tao.

He knew very well that Liu Tao probably wouldn't fight the enemy himself, and his physique was not as good as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's, so he chose this horse.When needed, you can escape quickly. The key is that the horses are docile and you don't need to be specially domesticated to ride them.

Liu Tao was really happy when he heard that, in this era, a good horse is equal to a good car, a famous horse is a sports car, gentle and fast, this kind of horse is tailor-made for him!

"The second horse is called Zihualiu, and its body is purple and red. It is no less than the legendary Zhou Gong's eight steeds. This horse can travel thousands of miles in a day, and it can carry a heavy load. It is suitable for the commander Guan!" Seeing Liu Tao, Zhang Shiping accepted it. , rejoicing in his heart, so he brought a second horse, "It's just a bit irritable, and we need to be careful in domestication."

"Good horse!" Guan Yu came to Zihualiu, checked it carefully, and then nodded in praise.

"The third horse!" Zhang Shiping handed the reins to Guan Yu, and then introduced the third horse, "This horse is black all over, except for a touch of white hair on its four hooves. It has a long back, a short waist and a straight waist. The tendons are well-developed, just like the legendary Xiang Yu's mount, Treading Snow, Wuzhui, so it should be very suitable for Commander Zhang!"

"It's just what I want!" Zhang Fei is also good at riding, otherwise he would not be in command of the cavalry.When I saw this horse, I felt like I was destined, and I liked it very much.

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Zhang Shiping was quite relieved, these three horses were the treasures of the Zhang family's bottom of the box, and the original intention was to keep them for three to five years, and then give them to an official or aristocrat in exchange for protection.Now that you want to invest in Liu Tao, you can't be stingy.

"I'm afraid there are not many of these three horses even if it is the Zhang family, right?" Lu Yan said the key point in one word, which made Liu Guan and Zhang calm down a little bit from the joy of winning the horse.

If you are polite to others, you must ask for something!Zhang Shiping took out the treasure at the bottom of the box, what he wanted was not small!

"The general has an extraordinary bearing, and it will be very expensive to be appointed as a general in the future. Our two families are willing to support the general's achievements. We only hope that the general will prosper in the future, and don't forget me!" Su Shuang immediately stepped forward and solemnly approached Liu Tao. A gift, "The Su family has stored some meteorites, and they are building them according to the weapons of the three generals. Within at least one month, and at most three months, they will definitely send three peerless magic weapons!"

Meteorite comes from meteorites, which can be said to be the hardest metal in this world, at least in this era.And the current weapons in the hands of the three can only be regarded as being made of relatively high-quality iron.

Continue to fight, at most a dozen tough battles, the blade will start to dull, and gradually start to roll.If the general fights recklessly, it may be damaged faster.After all, the weapons used by others must not be ordinary weapons.

Su Shuang wants to use meteorite to make three weapons, which is not bad. As expected, they should be the strongest weapons in this era. They can even be used for a lifetime if they are well maintained. At least 30 years will not be a problem.Undoubtedly, it can be passed down as a family heirloom, just like the Sun family's ancient ingot knife with pine patterns, and Lu Bu's Fang Tian painted halberd.

The two of them had only one request, which was to buy a ticket to board Liu Tao's chariot.

"Haha, I told you before going south!" Liu Tao laughed loudly when he heard that, "I asked you to select some children from the clan to join the militia. You two will not forget, right?"

"Yes, yes!" The two were overjoyed when they heard the words, "I'll go back and make arrangements!"

Chapter 61

Liu Tao felt that it was very profitable. He had already received gifts from two businessmen when he first joined the army, so that the soldiers could be equipped with high-quality weapons, and at the same time they could train fifty more cavalry.As a result, I didn't expect that when I sent the man back, I got the approval of two merchants, and at the same time, I also got a gift of BMW Magic Weapon.

It feels like, playing a game and accepting a task, but after completing it, you find that there are hidden tasks in the follow-up, and you get more generous rewards in the end.

"Also, there is something that I need your help with!" Seeing that the two were about to leave, Liu Tao hurried forward.Originally, he planned to give up the reward of five hundred war horses in exchange for other things.

Now that the two have taken the initiative to contribute, it is more reasonable to ask them to help.

"I need you to spread some news in Jizhou and Youzhou, preferably in Luoyang..." Liu Tao stopped the two of them, and then told them his original plan.

"This matter is simple, and our two families can come forward to help." When the two heard this, they agreed without even thinking about it.
