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

Huo Du nodded, the position here is so important, how could they not get the equipment.

Once they are driven in by the army of the Shu Kingdom, they will be in danger in Nanjun.

Huo Du said: "Whether you can gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou, whether you can get promoted and make a fortune depends on this battle. Several of His Majesty's generals gathered on the eastern front, and the main beam on the western front fell on us two brothers." .”

"Brother, don't worry, I've already let the other party know that our Jingzhou army is powerful."

Chapter 494 Liu Biao's war is unfavorable, and he wants to buy high-end equipment

In the middle of the night, Leng Bao and Lei Tong led the army and quietly left Jiangguan. In fact, they were discovered by Huo Du's scouts just as they walked out of the gate.

The two came outside Huo Du's camp, saw that there were not many people walking around in the camp, "Kill!"

"Kill it!"

Leng Bao and Lei Tong took the lead and rushed directly into the camp. Countless torches were thrown to the surrounding tents, and the camp was quickly ablaze.

"There seems to be something wrong!"

Leng Bao saw that there was no chaos in the camp as they expected, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.

"There is an ambush!"

"kill!"

Huo Du and Huo Jun commanded the ambush soldiers and rushed directly into the camp. The soldiers equipped with Wei armor rushed to the front. Leng Bao and Lei Tong clashed several times, but they did not break out of their encirclement!

Is God going to kill me?

Leng Bao looked depressed. He didn't expect the Jingzhou army to fight so well, and their soldiers were as indestructible as a rock.

"General Leng, what should I do, the opponent has more and more soldiers."

If you don't think of a way to break out, I'm afraid you will have to confess here today.

"Puff puff!"

Suddenly an army came out from behind Huo Du, and countless arrows shot at Huo Du's rear army, Huo Du was very surprised.

Didn't expect the opponent to have ambushes?

The two sides fought until the early morning, when Leng Bao and Lei Tong broke out of the camp with Zhang Song's support.

If it wasn't for Zhang Song who was worried about the loss of the two of them and led an army of [-] to support them, the two of them might really be lost here.

After Huo Du saw that Leng Bao had retreated, he didn't chase after them. In this battle, they lost nearly [-] soldiers. Although the opponent lost more than them, they didn't know how many soldiers the opponent had.

"Second brother, send someone to Jiangling to report our military exploits to His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to send some more soldiers over."

Before Liu Biao's reinforcements arrived, Leng Bao and Lei Tong led an army of [-] to Huo Du's camp to call for battle.

Huo Jun said worriedly: "Brother, what should we do? We lost more than 4000 soldiers yesterday, but we still dare to come today. The opponent's number may not be less than [-]."

Huo Du said calmly: "Don't worry, we still have 4 extremely brave soldiers. Even if they come with another [-] soldiers, they don't want to capture our camp."

His camp was built of stones, and he didn't worry about the opponent's fire attack at all.

Huo Jun asked: "Can't we stick to it?"

"I heard that General Wenpin is going against the odds in Yuzhang County. We must defend here."

"Brother, we have the advanced armor of Wei State, why don't we take the initiative to attack, if we can defeat the army of Shu State, wouldn't we be promoted faster?"

Huo Du shook his head.

He plans to teach his younger brother a lesson today.

Huo Jun is only 15 years old this year, and his life experience is still too little.

"If we repel the army of the Shu Kingdom, the Kingdom of Shu will definitely send more troops to come. If His Majesty is worried about our mistakes and sends a general, do you think we still have credit for it?"

Huo Jun asked with a puzzled expression: "Shouldn't Your Majesty trust us more? Why did you send someone to take over?"

"Second brother, Jingzhou is not monolithic. Look at General Cai Mao and Taiwei Kuaiyue. They fought openly and secretly for their own interests. The Cai family commanded the Jingzhou navy, but wanted to get involved in the army, so they sent Cai Zhong and Cai He to follow Wenpin to fight. .”

"And the Kuai family wanted to gain command of the Jingzhou navy, so they sent their younger generation to join the navy as military advisers, and we didn't make it clear that we would join any of their families. How can we reassure them?"

Huo Jun asked suspiciously: "Who do you think it's better for us to rely on?"

"No one is good!"

In Huo Du's eyes, Jingzhou can't compare with other countries at all, Wei, Wu, Hanzhong, Liang, Shu, Han, the strongest is Wei, and the most united is also Wei.

Then there is the Kingdom of Shu, and the least united is the Kingdom of Han. If it weren't for Cao Shuo's equipment, they might have lost the four counties in Jingnan.

He wants to earn enough credit in Jingzhou to make his own name, and then choose to seek refuge in other countries.

Huo Jun looked at his elder brother in surprise, thinking, is it possible that his elder brother is going to leave Jingzhou and choose to join other forces?

"attack!"

Leng Bao outside Dazhai gave an order, and the Shu soldiers rushed to Huo Du's camp one after another.

"Fire arrows!"

Puff puff!

The two sides began a fierce battle around Dazhai.

Liu Biao in Jiangling City learned that Shu State sent troops to attack Jingzhou again, so he quickly called Kuai Yue and asked him what to do.

"Your Majesty, under the siege of tens of thousands of troops from the Shu Kingdom, Huo Du has stood firm for more than ten days. This man is definitely a good general. If His Majesty rewards him, he will definitely be able to ask me to serve in the Han Kingdom."

"Come here, send Huo Du [-] soldiers and horses, and another [-] sets of equipment, a thousand catties of fine wine, and ten beauties."

Liu Biao was not stingy about getting a general in charge of his own affairs.

Kuai Yue said: "Your son, Kuai Jun, is [-] years old. He has been smart since he was a child. Under the guidance of my minister, he is familiar with military books, so he can advise Huo Du in case of accidents."

Liu Biao was instantly overjoyed, "Let Liu Qi be appointed as the supervisor of the army, and Kuai Jun be the commander of the marching army, and rush to Wu County with the army!"

"promise!"

The reason why Liu Biao sent Liu Qi to be the supervisor was to let him familiarize himself with military affairs as soon as possible. His health was getting worse day by day, so Liu Qi had to be able to stand alone.

If he doesn't have enough prestige in the army, how can he hold down several high-ranking generals in the future.

"Master Taiwei, the battle in Changsha County is unfavorable, what should we do?"

Liu Biao looked at Kuai Yue worriedly, and Kuai Yue said, "Your Majesty, that abominable Cao Shuo actually sold equipment to Sun Ce. He just wanted to make us lose out."

"But I understand the truth, but can we do it without a fight with Sun Ce? Sun Ce only has one county now. If we don't attack first, he will attack the four Jingnan counties sooner or later."

Kuai Yue sighed and said, "I have a policy, I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to follow it."

"Speak, Lieutenant!"

Liu Biao looked at Kuai Yue eagerly.

Kuai Yue said: "Cao Shuo dared to sell us such powerful equipment, there must be a way to deal with it, if we can get some arrows from him that can shoot through this equipment, maybe we can stop Sun Ce's pace."

"But how could Cao Shuo easily sell this kind of thing to us?"

"Cao Shuo will not sit back and watch Sun Ce become stronger. It is also beneficial for him to sell us arrows."

Liu Biao thought for a while, as long as he didn't use these arrows to deal with Cao Shuo, perhaps Cao Shuo would really sell them to him.

But how to make him trust himself?

"How can I gain Cao Shuo's trust?"

Chapter 495 Selling Weapons ([-] words, no more chapters)

"Your Majesty, this Luoyang City is really magnificent!"

The step trainer looked at Luoyang City in front of him in surprise.

It is simply impossible for an army of one million to capture this kind of city.

On the city wall, four carriages can run in parallel, and there are many bed crossbows in the protruding part.

Cao Shuo smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. Next, we will build such cities in every state."

The step trainer said in horror: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will cost a lot of money, right?"

"Our soldiers need to serve in the military. Moving bricks to the city wall is part of the training."

Back in the palace, Cao Shuo handed over the step trainer to Diao Chan, and went to the palace.

He had already sent someone to notify the ministers. After returning to Luoyang, he would discuss with the ministers about land reform.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"Everyone loves to be flat!"

"Report to Your Majesty, Liu Biao's envoy, Han Song, is asking to see you!"

Cao Shuo frowned, looked at Xun Yu and asked, "Wen Ruo Han Song came to Luoyang, did you know?"

Xun Yu nodded and said, "I have already met him, but Liu Biao wants to buy a weapon from us that can break through fifty-forged armor, so I can't decide."

Cao Shuo thought about it carefully, and then said, "Let him in."

After a while, Han Song came to the main hall.

"Han Song has seen His Majesty."

Cao Shuo said, "I already know the purpose of your visit. How do you use the armor you sold earlier?"

Han Song looked at Cao Shuo with a strange expression.

It was used well at first, but since Sun Ce bought it, they have fallen into a passive state.

Sun Ce's soldiers are strong and horses are strong, and there are more generals than them, so they have been suppressed all the time.

"Armor is good, but everyone has it, and we lose our advantage."

Cao Shuo laughed, and said: "Back then, I led [-] recruits and slaughtered Dong Zhuo's thousands of Feixiong troops and tens of thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry. I didn't rely on the advantage of equipment."

"This one……"

Han Song blushed. What else could he say? He blamed his soldiers for not being strong enough and lacking in training.

Cao Shuo reprimanded him, "Liu Biao is weak and incompetent. He doesn't know how to use people well. Is Mr. Han interested in coming to our country of Wei as an official?"

"Your Majesty is joking!"

Han Song did not directly reject Cao Shuo's kindness. After all, being an official in Wei State is what most people dream of.

But he is not disloyal and unfilial. Now that Liu Biao is still alive, he will never betray Han.

"I wonder if His Majesty can sell us some weapons?"

Cao Shuo thought about it carefully. Of course he has weapons that can break fifty-forged armor, and he has hoarded a lot of them. He just waits for these princes to find out and buy them from him.

However, Liu Biao has nothing to extract, except food or food.

"I can also sell it to you, but I can only sell you arrows, and I will also sell you a few swords used by generals."

How many?

Han Song only felt that the world was spinning for a while. Ordinary soldiers could only be equipped with arrows, but they could not be equipped with Wei's advanced weapons.

Sure enough, it was a good plan.

Arrows are consumables. There are more waters in the south, and the consumption is much higher than in the north. However, it is impossible to retrieve them if they are shot into rivers and lakes.

How much do you have to buy to defeat Sun Ce and Liu Zhang?

"Can't you sell us more weapons?"

Cao Shuo shook his head, and said, "The sword that can cut through that armor is limited to a monthly supply, with a maximum of ten pieces for sale."

Han Song looked depressed. There were only ten pieces in a month. Does this mean that the loss has been calculated?

Cut such a hard armor, can it really be used for a month?

"Is ten pieces too little?"

Xun Yu said: "No need, if you use these equipment to deal with us, wouldn't we be digging our own graves?"

Han Song looked contemptuous, did he really dig his own grave?

If the arrows and weapons could cut through your armor, would you buy them?
