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

Liu Biao looked at Cai Mao with displeasure, causing Cai Mao to panic, "Your Majesty, I still have a large army to support, so I will pay another 20 for the last general."

Kuai Yue said angrily: "General, from now on, you will be responsible for all the rations and salaries of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty. Don't you need your majesty to allocate money and rations?"

"This……"

Cai Mao looked embarrassed, he was just an excuse, Liu Biao didn't give money, so where would he get money.

Liu Biao said, "Although we have a lot of food and grass in Jingzhou, it is related to the safety of the two generals of the Cai family."

Cai Mao gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll take out 80 shi for food and grass."

Yin Kui was horrified, how could a general come up with so much food?And it's not military rations, how greedy is this usually.

Not only Yin Kui, an outsider, was questioning in his heart, including Liu Biao, who began to question Cai Mao, the bastard Cai Mao was really abominable, unexpectedly so greedy.

Cai Mao looked at Yin Kui and said, "We pay the food with one hand and the people with the other?"

Yin Kui sneered, thinking beautifully, our Zhen's Chamber of Commerce has credibility, but your reputation, General Cai, is worthless.

"The grain and grass are transported to Pingyu, Yuzhou, and we will release them immediately."

Cai Mao said: "Pay 200 million shi first, and let my two younger brothers be released."

Yin Kui's face darkened, and he turned around and left. It's up to you whether you want it or not, as if we need your food and grass.

Cai Mao's face was gloomy and terrifying. This chaos actually ignored him. Does this mean he doesn't trust himself?

Liu Biao looked at Kuai Yue and said, "Taiwei, you are in charge of this matter."

"promise!"

Liu Biao can't trust Cai Mao anymore, so it's okay to be greedy as usual, but this matter must not be careless. He Cao Shuo is not as easy to bully as Liu Bei. command.

In Pingyu County, Runan County, Kuai Liang, who was standing on the city wall, looked at the densely packed carriages outside the city, and sighed, Han Guo lost his wife and lost his army this time.

With so much grain and grass, at least one million shi, with grain and grass, Cao Shuo will definitely use troops against other people, but he doesn't know who his next target will be.

Kuai Liang looked at Zhang Liao at the side and asked, "General Zhang, may I ask how much food and grass your army asked for our army?"

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "400 million shi, Mr. Zirou, you can go, come back next time, 150 million shi for food and grass."

"..."

Kuai Liang felt dizzy in his head, 400 million stone grain and grass.

400 million stones...

Is this fucking going to drain Han Guo?

Looking at the back of Kuai Liang leaving, Le Jin admired: "The business can be done like this, there is no other company in this world except Zhen's Chamber of Commerce."

Zhang Liao said: "General Le doesn't know yet, the Zhen's Chamber of Commerce has changed its name to Longteng Chamber of Commerce, which has gathered the assets of the Zhen family and the Mi family. From now on, there will only be Longteng, not the Zhen family."

"Long Teng?"

Yu Jin narrowed his eyes and said, "Good name!"

Zhang Liao ordered: "Two million shi will be shipped to Luoyang, 200 shi will be shipped to Yanzhou, and the rest will be distributed to the armies in Yuzhou."

"promise!"

With these grains and grasses, Yanzhou and Yuzhou have passed the temporary crisis. After production resumes next year, with the amount of farmland in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, they will definitely have a bumper harvest.

At that time, the four states north of the Huaihe River will become their granaries, and they no longer have to worry about food and grass.

Le Jin said: "Mr. Cheng Yu and General Cao Hong are left in Long Kang. I don't know if there will be any problems. Should we send some troops over there?"

Zhang Liao said: "The King of Wei has given new instructions. I am in charge of guarding Langling and Shenyang at the junction with Nanyang to prevent Wenpin from Nanyang County from entering Runan again."

"Le Jin and Mao Jie are in charge of guarding Yingchuan, while Yu Jin, Cao Anmin, and Xia Houshang are in charge of guarding Ruyin, Shenxian, and Fubo."

"Cheng Yu, Cao Hong, Li Gan, and Li Dian are in charge of guarding Longkang and surrounding counties."

After several people took orders to leave, Xu Chu returned to Luoyang with 200 Xuanjia troops and escorted [-] million stones, grain and grass.

In Luoyang City, Cao Shuo had just finished his military affairs, and a maid came to the harem and told him that Qiao Shuo had something to ask him.

When Cao Shuo came to Xiao Qiao's residence, the two were ordering the maids to prepare meals, so Cao Shuo sat down unceremoniously.

"Your Majesty, this is the meal our sisters prepared for you. Would you like to try it?"

Cao Shuo nodded, and he knew from the color of the dishes that they were made with seasonings from the Longteng Chamber of Commerce.

Cao Shuo praised: "The taste is very good!"

The two daughters were overjoyed and moved to Cao Shuo's left and right sides. Da Qiao said, "Your Majesty, I offer you a toast!"

In the early morning of the next day, when Cao Shuo was still tasting the fresh and juicy delicacies, a female guard shouted in a panic: "Your Majesty, General Xu please see me!"

Chapter 399 Developed the Liannu in Two Months

"Your Majesty, I have come back to reply to your orders. Liu Biao's army in Runan County has been completely wiped out. Our army exchanged prisoners and got 400 million shi of food and grass. General Zhang sent back 200 million shi."

Cao Shuo nodded, and then ordered: "Xu Chu, I now appoint you as Jing Zhaoyin, responsible for the security around the capital."

Zhang Liao stayed in Runan County, so Henan Yin's defense needs someone to take over, and that must be the person he trusts most, and Xu Chu is definitely the most suitable.

Xu Chu said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your promotion!"

Cao Shuo said meaningfully: "Zhongkang, when you have nothing to do, ask a few advisers for advice on the art of war, and read more ancient books and allusions."

"What the king said is true!"

In order to speed up the construction of Luoyang City, Cao Shuo issued a military order to all the prefectures and counties of Wei State, and only defended but did not attack within two months.

Cao Shuo spends all his free time in the military computer room except for leisure and entertainment with his concubine every day.

He wanted Ma Jun to research the Liannu as soon as possible. As long as he could successfully research it, his infantry would be upgraded several steps.

Facing the cavalry alone, the infantry also has a certain ability to protect itself.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have researched it, I have researched it!"

Under the treatment of Cao Shuo recently, Ma Jun's stuttering problem has been cured. He came to Cao Shuo with a very delicate hand crossbow.

Cao Shuo played with it for a while excitedly, and asked, "How many arrows can this quiver hold?"

Ma Jun's face was extremely ugly in an instant, and he said with a depressed face: "This subordinate is incompetent. At present, without increasing the volume, I can only hold fifteen."

Cao Shuo nodded. Fifteen pieces are already very good. As long as the first one is made and then gradually improved, more and more will definitely be installed.

"How powerful is the arrow?"

This is what Cao Shuo is most concerned about. If he can't shoot through ordinary iron armor, then the effectiveness of his hand crossbow will be greatly reduced.

Ma Jun said: "I tried it with the armor of Dong Zhuo's soldiers. It can be pierced within a hundred steps. The further the distance, the less powerful it is."

Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "Find a pig to wear armor!"

"pig?"

Ma Jun looked surprised, and quickly asked: "Why use pigs, can't cattle and sheep work?"

Cao Shuo explained: "Pig skin is a bit thicker than human skin, but its outer surface is almost as hard as human skin. If you can put an arrow into a pig, then humans will have no problem."

"Your Majesty is really thoughtful." Ma Jun was in admiration.

Unexpectedly, the lord still has research on this, and then he ordered someone to find a pig, and then tried it.

"Whoosh!"

"Squeak!"

A pig weighing more than 200 kilograms kept screaming in the yard. Cao Shuo couldn't bear it, and ordered: "The arrows are used up, shoot it to death."

"promise!"

After fifteen arrows had been shot, the poor pig finally fell.

Cao Shuo walked over to look at the wound, he was a little dissatisfied with the power, after a hundred steps, he could only shoot about three fingers in.

After Ma Jun looked at the wound, he was also very dissatisfied. The damage was not bad at close range. It is estimated that it would not be able to hurt the person wearing the armor after more than eighty steps.

Cao Shuo took a look at the crossbow and said, "Think of a way to increase the power a bit. If it really doesn't work, start with the arrow."

However, Ma Jun did not disappoint Cao Shuo. In less than ten days, he improved the shooting performance of the crossbow.

The power of this experiment made Cao Shuo quite satisfied. Within a hundred steps, he could shoot and kill soldiers wearing leather armor without any problem.

As for Tiejia, apart from his Xuanjia Army, all the princes in the world can't get together 5 people.

Cao Shuo said with satisfaction: "The power is already good enough. Next, we will improve the problem of the arrow box and find a way to expand it to thirty."

Ma Jun asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, if it is expanded to thirty, the weight may increase a lot."

Cao Shuo nodded and said, "It's inevitable, but I'm thinking about it for the city defenders. If you can research such a small one, then I believe you can also research it if it's ten times larger."

He planned to make several large crossbow bolts and fix them on the city wall.

"My subordinate understands!"

Cao Shuo said: "The fifteen arrows are just right for the cavalry to equip. You order the craftsmen to make some simple accessories. The core things are all made by the military machine room."

"promise!"

Two months later, the first batch of 1 repeating crossbows in the military engine room was completed. After being filled with [-] arrows, they weighed a total of [-] catties. The lightest weight possible.

Cao Shuo summoned five thousand tiger guards and distributed five thousand to them. Wang Ling asked Wang Ling to take them to the attribute performance.

Cao Shuo looked at Wang Chen and said, "Tomorrow morning, call the generals of each battalion to come and listen to the order!"

"promise!"

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Shuo looked at the civil and military ministers below and said, "Our army has been recuperating for two months. Now it is the beginning of autumn, and the weather has turned cold. It is a good time to send troops to attack the princes."

All the soldiers looked at Cao Shuo expectantly, wondering where the first stop would be.

However, many people have speculated that it should be said that Guangling County, after all, is the territory of Xuzhou, which has been occupied by Sun Ce, and he should go back to Jiangdong.

"Notify Gan Ning in Qingzhou to let his navy block all sea passages in Guangling County for me!"

Everyone guessed right, the lord wanted to beat Sun Ce.

Chapter 400 My father is too unmotivated, only [-] soldiers

[Cao Shuo raised his troops and marched into Lu Bu in four directions]

Xun You asked, "Your Majesty, are we going to attack Sun Ce?"

Cao Shuo shook his head. He doesn't want to attack Sun Ce now. The blueprints for the warship have been sent over, but they haven't started construction yet. Cao Shuo needs to put some pressure on them.

I provided the blueprint of the warship with good intentions. I originally wanted to sell the power system, but they didn't dare to build it. This is not a waste of my painstaking efforts.

"Let Gan Ning practice with them on the sea, and let them know that their boats are just playing tricks on the rivers and lakes. On the sea, they are useless at all."

Xun You asked puzzledly, "Where does the king plan to attack?"

"Bingzhou!"

Lu Bu is inextricably fighting with Ma Teng and Dong Zhuo, and he needs to come to harvest.

After taking Lu Bu, he can deal with Yongliang and Liangzhou with peace of mind. After the reunification of the north, he will lead his army south to destroy Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, and Liu Biao.

Xun Yu said: "Our army has enough food and grass, and the morale of the soldiers is high. It is a good time to send troops. Before winter, take Bingzhou and live a stable winter."

Xi Zhicai said: "My Majesty, Lv Bu is now confronting Ma Teng's army in Wuyuan County. Lv Bu's general Zhang Yang is fighting Dong Zhuo's general Li Jue at Gaonu in Shangjun. Chen Gong is going out with Lv Bu, and Jia Kui is Sitting in Taiyuan County."

Cao Shuo nodded, and said, "Lu Bu's men are already stretched thin, and Bingzhou can't defend him at all. It's better for our army to help him manage it."

Liu Ye asked, "Where does our army attack from?"

Cao Shuo ordered someone to take out a map, and then said: "Let Zhao Yun send troops out of Dai County to attack Yanmen County, and Zhang Yan from Jizhou Sheguo to attack Shangdang County."

"Gao Shun, defend Anyi in Hedong County, and let Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren lead an army of [-] to attack Yong'an County."

"I personally led [-] tiger guards, [-] Xuanjia troops, and [-] infantry from Yangcheng, Hanoi County, and entered Shangdang County."

Xun You hastily persuaded, "My lord, there is no need for my lord to go in person to destroy Lu Bu."

Xi Zhicai also persuaded: "Although Lu Bu is brave and invincible, he can't stand the crowd. We can completely trap him in the city."

Cao Shuo shook his head and said, "It's not safe to do this. What I want is to be safe. Dian Wei, Xu Ding, Xu Rong, Tian Yu, Yan Rou, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, you all go out with the army."

"promise!"
