Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

After Cao Shuo ordered Zhao Yun, Han Hao, and Xun Chen, the three led the troops and hurried to Leling.

Under Yuan Shao, there are now more than a dozen generals including Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Tai Shici, Guan Hai, Gao Gan, Chun Yuqiong, etc., which is quite troublesome.

Back in Xindu, Cao Shuo was about to give Gongsun Baoyue another injection, but he met a person he least wanted to see.

"Shuo'er, I've come to see you for my father!"

Cao Cao walked into Cao Shuo's study with a smile, and Cao Shuo gave him a gloomy look.

"Tell me something!"

"Shuo'er! My Shuo'er!"

At this moment, there was a voice outside the door that made him even more depressed, Mrs. Ding came.

Are you really here to visit relatives?

Mrs. Ding walked in, grabbed Cao Shuo's hand, and said excitedly, "Shuo'er, I miss you so much for my mother."

Cao Shuo chatted with Mrs. Ding for a while, then asked Diao Chan and his daughters to take her away.

"Shuo'er, how can you forgive me? Why don't Yanzhou give it to you, and I'll help you?"

"No, I'm not interested!"

"Being a father is sincere!"

"There are too many sons and too many troubles. I am free in Jizhou, and I can beat whoever I want."

"Uh……"

Cao Cao understood what Cao Shuo meant. He had Cao Ang and Cao Pi, and Mrs. Bian was pregnant with another one. If he took refuge in Cao Shuo, the relationship between them would indeed be much more complicated.

"What conditions can I use to exchange Dongjun and Jibei Kingdom back?"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Shuo carefully, Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "East County can give it to you, but Jibei Kingdom can't."

"Why don't you take it, Yanzhou, and I'll do it for you!"

Cao Shuo glared at Cao Cao angrily, and said, "Give back Puyang, Baima, and Yan County to you, and you give me Dongping Kingdom!"

"Dongping Kingdom?"

Cao Cao was surprised. Of course he knew where Dongping Kingdom was, but it was next to Taishan County. What would Cao Shuo want Dongping Kingdom to do?

"I want to connect the territory in the north of Dongjun with Jibei Kingdom."

Cao Cao reminded: "Jibei Kingdom is next to Taishan County, and the Taishan bandit Zang Ba has many soldiers. Are you busy?"

"You don't need to worry about it, little Taishan thief, you can't afford to turn the big waves."

Cao Cao looked at Cao Shuo suspiciously, always feeling that his words had hidden meaning, but he couldn't figure it out.

Having Cao Shuo block Yuan Shao in the east is also good for him.

"Okay, but I need to lend you a few people!"

"Accidents will happen on the battlefield at any time, people don't borrow!"

"Liu Bei's subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are invincible. I don't have any generals who can resist me. You won't look at your future territory and hand it over to others."

"A little Liu Bei can't deal with it, what are you doing alive?"

"Wouldn't it be possible to reduce a lot of losses if there are fierce generals stopping them?"

"You don't lose, who will I sell my weapons and equipment to?"

Chapter 135 "Repayment Chapter 2" Arms Dealer

[Swipe a wave of gifts, [-] words a day, you need motivation, you use love to generate electricity, and I use love to generate electricity! 】

"Shuo'er, you still sell weapons and equipment?"

"Sell!"

Cao Shuo felt that Cao Cao should be so stupid as to attack him, since this body is his son.

"How do you sell them?"

"Bilateral stirrups, fifty steels, iron armor!"

Cao Cao asked in bewilderment, "What are double-sided stirrups?"

Cao Shuo explained: "You will know when you buy it!"

Cao Shuo will not explain too much to him, he is now out of stock, and he has to sell part of it.

"How to sell?"

"Ten catties of iron for a pair of stirrups!"

"Uh……"

Cao Cao glared at Cao Shuo with a gloomy face, this damn is robbery, how heavy is your stirrup?It even costs ten catties of iron.

"Includes the method of use, if you don't want to forget it, I will talk to Liu Bei!"

"Okay! Give me five thousand first!"

"Only five thousand? I've provided you with twenty or thirty thousand war horses anyway, so why don't you have a pair for each horse, and a spare pair!"

Cao Shuo looked depressed, what could five thousand do.

"The output of ore in the Central Plains is very small, and I still have to forge weapons and equipment."

Cao Shuo said contemptuously: "Your iron ore is wasted in your hands, use it all for finished products!"

"Too expensive!"

"Don't you need money for labor? Doesn't forging need time? You know how many procedures are involved in this process. Buying the finished product directly is definitely worth the money for you."

Cao Shuo's words made Cao Cao tempted, and it was not a loss to exchange iron ore for fifty steels.

"How to exchange iron ore for equipment?"

"Look at the iron content of iron ore, pay less for more, pay more for less!"

"Convex(艹盘艹)!"

Cao Cao was horrified, this is really careful planning.

"In order to show the quality of our army's weapons, I will give you a sword!"

Cao Shuo took down a sword made of refined steel from the wall of the study and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took the sword in surprise.

"bass!"

The sword was unsheathed, and a cold light shot into Cao Cao's eyes. He knew it was a sword just by the lines on the sword.

Cao Cao took off the sword at his waist, and the two swords clashed. His original sword was directly cut off. Looking at the one Cao Shuo gave, the blade was not curled.

"Sword! Sword!"

"The equipment produced by our army is absolutely high-quality!"

"The weapons forged by fifty steel refineries are all of this quality?"

"You think too much, this is Baisteel!"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Shuo in horror, this guy actually has a higher level.

"How do you sell Hundred Steel?"

"Do not sell!"

Cao Shuo would not joke about the lives of his soldiers. Fifty sections of steel are the highest quality he currently provides, and he only equips his soldiers with [-] pieces of steel.

Unless one day his Qiansteel can be mass-produced, he will sell Baisteel.

"Will you sell it to anyone else?"

This is what Cao Cao cares about. If only his own soldiers have this equipment, maybe he can really become Cao Shuo, the second largest prince, but if he sells to everyone, then he will be taken advantage of.

"Our army will produce [-] sets of fifty-steel-forged weapons every month. If you can eat [-]%, I can temporarily ignore other princes."

"it is good!"

There is no hesitation in this kind of thing. Cao Cao must go ahead of other princes and equip all his army with this weapon.

"I want to buy another [-] horses!"

"Yes, in order to demonstrate the superiority of the bilateral stirrups, I will give you a [-]% discount for [-] horses and [-] stirrups!"

"Convex(艹盘艹)!"

"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. If you don't want it, I'll sell it to Liu Bei."

"want!"

As soon as Cao Cao gritted his teeth, he agreed to Cao Shuo's deal. Anyway, it's his own family who cheated, so it doesn't matter.

Cao Shuo left Cao Cao and his wife to have a hot pot meal, which made Cao Cao a feast. Before leaving, he took the bottom of the hot pot away.

However, what made Cao Shuo depressed was that Mrs. Ding actually planned to live permanently on the grounds of taking care of Cao Yang.

Cao Shuo asked Zhen Jiang to prepare stirrups and weapons for Cao Cao. For some reason, it spread to the ears of several counselors, and they came to Cao Shuo's house to inquire about the reason.

Xun You asked: "My lord, these are all secrets of our army, why sell them to others?"

Especially the bilateral stirrups, which are simply a weapon on the battlefield, have raised their cavalry strength by more than two steps, and they have become the number one cavalry of the Han Dynasty.

"Gongda doesn't know something. Bilateral stirrups are good, but they have no technical content. If the opponent pays a little attention on the battlefield, they can see the extraordinaryness of these equipment."

Xun You asked puzzledly: "Since it is extraordinary, why do you have to trade?"

"They have been fighting with our army for a long time, and they will definitely learn it. When the time comes, they can forge it by themselves, and it will still be usable. It would be better if we collect the excess iron ore in their hands and control their output in other aspects."

"Besides, the stirrups are easy to make, which cannot be concealed, but the horseshoes are different. It takes them a long time to use them before they can understand their function, so I only provided the stirrups, not the horseshoes."

"Subordinates are stupid!"

Xun You didn't expect Cao Shuo to see so far. When others were running naked, he had equipment, and when others had equipment, he began to limit the output of other people's equipment.

With such a lord, why not worry about the great cause?

"I traded it to Cao Cao because he won't attack us for the time being. Our army has been equipped with [-] steel mills. It's okay to sell some of them to Cao Cao."

"My lord is far-sighted, I can't wait!"

"And I have a new idea!"

Cao Shuo passed a blueprint to everyone to see, and everyone looked puzzled, what the hell is this?War horses can also wear equipment?

In fact, what Cao Shuo painted was a kind of iron cavalry of the later Jin Dynasty, called Iron Buddha Tu. The soldiers and horses were all wearing heavy armor, which could withstand the shooting of archers to a certain extent.

"My lord, what kind of equipment is this?"

"I named it Tiefutu. Whether it is a soldier or a war horse, they are all wearing heavy armor, which can withstand the shooting of bows and arrows."

"Can the horse take it?"

Everyone looked horrified, all of them were wearing heavy armor, what kind of horses would they need to charge?

Cao Shuo explained: "This requires special horses, so I have ordered people to choose among our horses. In the early stage, we only need 5000 people, and we need about [-] horses!"

Xun You asked puzzledly: "5000 people, why do you need three times as many horses?"

"One horse is used to carry the equipment, and the other two are used to transfer when charging to increase their endurance. Otherwise, the horses will not be able to bear the weight of the equipment, and their strength will be greatly reduced."

"My lord can come up with this method, what a genius!"

Chapter 136

"Since the military advisers are here, you should predict the battle in Yuzhou!"

Cao Shuo looked at several military advisers meaningfully. He separated Liu Bei from Gongsun Zan before, mainly because he was worried that Gongsun Zan's power would grow.

However, now that Liu Bei has gone to Yuzhou, Gongsun Zan is nothing to worry about. The first collision between the two armies is the best explanation.

Xi Zhicai said: "Liu Bei has always had great ambitions, and he is assisted by two powerful generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. According to the recent report of Jin Yiwei, Liu Bei is recruiting troops and talents in Yuzhou. There are Runan Li Tong, Xu Jing, Lu Fan, Chen Dao agrees."

"Guan Yu got the help of Zhao Yan and Du Xi in Yingchuan. It can be said that he has soared into the sky. Once Yuzhou launches an attack on Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu is bound to retreat steadily!"
