The three commanders who got the new material weapons were very excited.

They all ran to the factory yard and tried their best to fight, wanting to get familiar with their weapons as soon as possible.

The system broadcast sounded in Liu Yu's mind.

[Get patterned steel weapons, surpass the times, three commanders' force +10]

Not bad.

Liu Yu nodded.

According to the current increase in force, I am afraid that Lu Bu would bow his head and write the word "服" with a conquered face when he saw the commander of their Iron Manor.

[Get the patterned steel destiny war halberd, basic force +10]

Liu Yu's force increased from 70 to 80.

Coupled with the effect of the enthusiasm of the military general record, the enemy will be stunned at that time.

The production line of weapons is on the right track, no need to worry.

With the continuous production of high-quality steel on the blast furnace side.

After the craftsmen gradually become proficient in forging, the output will increase to a very terrifying state.

Liu Yu ordered the factory's craftsmen to start the civilian production line.

It is used to forge various farm tools and daily necessities for Tiezhuang.

The products used by Tiezhuang are all made of the best steel.

As for those sold to the people of Youzhou, the second-grade steel is used.

As for those sold to the grassland, the worst ironware can be selected.

The appearance is brand new.

In fact, it will not take long before it is rusted or various problems occur.

In a word, the bastards on the grassland cannot use it for too long.

Make daily necessities consumables.

In this way, more products can be sold to plunder various resources on the grassland.

And those foreign races on the grassland, if they are caught up in production, will also reduce the pressure on some Youzhou soldiers.

Let the foreign races on the grassland not have too much time to come to Youzhou to attack villages.

...

Youzhou's capital, Jicheng.

Liu Yanzhan stood on the city wall, looking at the dark mass of yellow scarves in the wilderness, and felt a little worried.

"Too many!"

He sighed.

From 10,000 at the beginning, to 20,000, 50,000, and 100,000 later.

The number of Yellow Turban rebels, like locusts in a plague, has skyrocketed.

At this number, it has become a huge hidden danger.

Such a number of Yellow Turbans cannot eat, and their eyes are red with hunger, as if they want to eat people.

Although Youzhou has sufficient soldiers, they are all kept in various cities to guard the border.

Although Jicheng is the seat of Youzhou, the number of soldiers is very small.

In addition to the 3,000 cavalry led by Gongsun Zan, there are 3,000 infantry.

This is all the strength of Jicheng.

Going out to attack the Yellow Turbans is still possible.

But if there is any loss in this battle.

I am afraid that the foreign tribes in the north will swarm in.

Taking advantage of the weakness of Jicheng and plundering the Han villages, this is not what Liu Yan wants to see.

Moreover, he also understood that many of the Yellow Turbans were ordinary people who were coerced.

Who made the years bad, and there were famines for years.

The people who couldn't eat had nowhere to go.

It happened that the Yellow Turbans rebelled, and they had no choice under coercion and inducement.

Liu Yan had some compassion, and he was reluctant to let the soldiers rush out and kill all the Yellow Turbans and those poor people.

As a frontier official, he knew very well how much the population played a huge role in the development of a place.

If these 100,000 people were killed.

The whole Youzhou would not necessarily fall into a depressed situation in the future.

The land was originally vast and sparsely populated.

It was definitely not a good thing to have so many casualties.

In a deeper sense, the number of Han people in Youzhou decreased.

The control over this frontier state would drop to an extremely low level.

At that time, there would definitely be a lot of problems.

It is not impossible for the foreign tribes in the north to take advantage of the situation and enter.

Liu Yan was worried.

"My lord!" Gongsun Zan rushed up the city wall and came to Liu Yan's side in three or two steps.

"The Yellow Turban rebels are powerful and there are many of them."

"According to our observations in the past two days, there are skilled craftsmen who are actually building ladders for siege."

"My lord, make a decision early."

"Alas!" Liu Yan sighed and looked at the Yellow Turban camp under the city, "Since it has come to this."

"There is no need to distinguish between the real Yellow Turbans and the people who were coerced."

"You cavalry rush out and fight for a while to see if you can disperse them."

"As for other things..."

His voice became lower and lower.

He had done everything he could.

If there were any way, he would not want to kill the people who were coerced.

"Sir!" Gongsun Zan sorted out his words in his mind and said, "Why not send some cavalry to break out?"

"To Tiezhuang.""The blast furnace construction documents that were approved before have been in place for some time."

"According to Liu Chengzhi's way of doing things, it has probably been built."

"If we can get back 3,500 steel knives from Tiezhuang."

"Let the elite soldiers equip them, rush out, and give the elite Yellow Turbans a heavenly army."

"The Yellow Turbans will be scared silly in the huge results of the battle."

"It's not a problem to fall apart."

"More importantly, with such sharp weapons, we can minimize our casualties."

"Kill two birds with one stone."

Liu Yan pondered for a moment, "It seems that this is the only way."

"However... Tiezhuang's weapons are good, but they are a bit expensive." Gongsun Zan said with lingering fear.

If he hadn't withheld some of the captured Wuhuan war horses last time, he really didn't know how to plug the hole.

"The more expensive it is, the better it is!" Liu Yan said generously: "Don't be afraid of the high price. Although the tax revenue in Youzhou is not much, it is absolutely open to buy weapons!"

"In addition..." Gongsun Zan hesitated, strengthened his confidence, and then suggested: "Tiezhuang has such good forging skills."

"Sir, can you open up the forging of armor to Tiezhuang?"

"If we can forge some good armor, the military equipment of Youzhou will be improved by more than a little bit."

"At that time, it will be good for the people of Youzhou as a whole."

Liu Yan raised his hand, stroked the gray goatee on his chin, and his eyes flickered.

After some consideration in his heart, he finally made up his mind.

"Okay, let's do it according to what the Cavalry Commander said."

"However, the manufacture of armor must be cautious."

"It must not be circulated to the people."

"The armor produced must be purchased by the government of Jicheng, the seat of Youzhou."

"Yes!" Gongsun Zan was overjoyed.

He continued to suggest: "Iron Manor is extremely important to Youzhou, and it will surely develop into a level comparable to that of Nanyang, the Iron Capital, in the future."

"Can the governor issue a special document to allow Iron Manor to legally own some armor."

"Equip some soldiers."

"Let Iron Manor have sufficient self-protection capabilities."

"To prevent villains from causing chaos and destroying Iron Manor."

"Yes." Liu Yan nodded in response.

Even if the manor is powerful, how many armors can it forge?

As long as the manor uses it for itself, there will be no problem.

Moreover, if the manor can really be on par with Nanyang Iron Supervisor in the future.

It will definitely be valued by the court.

It is natural to store some armor to arm soldiers.

"The Cavalry Commandant will arrange the relevant matters immediately." Liu Yan ordered.

"I will order someone to draft the document."

"Yes!" Gongsun Zan replied respectfully, turned and ran down the city wall, eager to convey the order.
