Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 168

Xu Zhen smiled, and Pu Feng and the others next to him laughed, and looked at Xu Zhen's face by the way, without any further changes.

Although he didn't know what the prince was worried about, he still laughed heartily in the end.

This night, I really cooked sheep and slaughtered pigs, and drank wine for fun!Junhou even spent huge sums of money out of his own pocket to send someone to buy a jug of wine at the homes of ordinary people in the city.

It was distributed to the soldiers in the army who made great achievements this time.

"Thanks to Junhou for persevering!"

Outside the tent, the people around the cauldron laughed and drank happily, Pu Feng and many generals felt how difficult this matter was.

"At that time, the burning was not enough to melt the pig iron. It was Yuan'er who told me to put the pig iron in the air so that the wind could blow in, and only the gap could catch the wind."

After saying this, Xu Zhen got up immediately.

A look of regret.

"Oh! It's groundless!"

What the hell did I use up my intelligence of 97!

Why didn't I think of it at the time!
Xu Zhen hurriedly asked Dianwei and Zilong to accompany the craftsman camp to pay off, and asked Zhuge Liang and Xu Chu to arrange to be on duty tonight.

He rode the red rabbit horse back to Shouchun city.

Gallop like the wind, run like red thunder!
Dodge and move on the trail.

Then go home and read a book.

Xu Zhen thought about it at Diao Chan's door, and decided to forget it.

Let's talk about it next time.

……

a few days later.

The method of pouring steel was extended to the whole army, and tens of catties of Sutie were produced, which were stored in regiments. According to Pu Yuan's idea, Sutie was used to make blades.

The back of the knife is made after forging of wrought iron, and then it becomes more powerful after being blended.

Sutie can also make halberd heads, broadsword tips, spear tips, spears, Ma Shuo and so on.

At this point, the next month until the autumn harvest, it will be so full of enthusiasm, making fine iron.

With the increasing investment, these materials such as minerals, iron tools, etc. are consumed hugely, and gold, silver, rice and grain are constantly exchanged to Jiangdong. Sun Ce has unknowingly become the great pillar behind Xu Zhen.

Of course, Sun Ce has to lead Wujun, Chaisang, Jianye Kuaiji and other places at this moment.

He is marrying with the great noble families in various places, but he has not noticed it for the time being.

By this time, Xu Zhen had already created three hundred ring-shoulders.

Outside the barracks.

Dian Wei and Jia Xu walked side by side, the main camp was not far away, and during the walk, the two also had a rare opportunity to talk, but Dian Wei still liked chatting with Jia Xu very much.

If you ask about the general trend of the world and the chance of winning or losing, he can also teach a thing or two, and he can speak clearly and clearly.

Understanding is incomprehensible, but you can listen to a few words to explain when you are bored.

"The old man heard that when Lu Bu came to fight, the general asked for a fight, and he really had a big fight with the prince. In the end, the prince was intimidated by the general, um... so powerful, it is very rare for a warrior to remonstrate with him."

"Hey! Of course!"

When Dian Wei heard this in his heart, his eyes almost went up to his head, which showed that Junhou was still very disciplined and did not tell others about it.

At least the rumors that Jia Xu heard were still showing his prestige!
I can't talk about the general trend of chatting, but if I talk about this, then I won't be sleepy.

"Of course it is. I have followed Junhou for so many years, don't I even have this privilege? To put it bluntly, although Junhou saved my life in Wancheng, oh! Wancheng is your old boy's trick! "

"No no no! It's not me, it's not me!"

Jia Xu suddenly smiled wryly, how did you come here, is it to force me to go for a run! ?
At this moment, he knew very well that he would be fooled sooner or later.

Since I talked about the affairs of Dian Wei and Junhou in the military tent at that time, I must have made sufficient preparations in my heart.

How proud and arrogant Dian Wei is smiling now, how miserable he will be when he runs from now on.

But since you can't avoid it, why bother to pretend you don't know it, and let's talk about it first!

"Oh, it's not you!" Dian Wei took a deep breath, nodded, and seemed to be satisfied, and then said: "Well, in short, although he saved my name, I have followed him loyally for so many years. What kind of?"

"What if there is a fight between brothers?"

Jia Xu immediately nodded approvingly, "It makes sense, it makes sense."

"Then it seems that the general will definitely get the [-] knives made this time."

"That's right! Just wait and see."

While talking, the two had already reached the main tent.

This time, Xu Zhen was lying on her side inside and reading a book, with one hand bent on the side of her head, and she was watching very intently, with one foot bent, like a beautiful woman lying on her side.

Feeling someone coming, he quickly sat up straight.

Then put down the letter.

[You study hard for a quarter of an hour, self-discipline value +5]

Xu Zhen: "..."

"Hold!"

Jia Xu was stunned, and said: "Your Majesty, the lord is not here."

"I did not mean that."

Xu Zhen smacked his lips, looked around helplessly, and said to Dian Wei with a smile, "If you want a knife, get out!"

"Eh?!"

Dian Wei was taken aback immediately!
We agreed to show some face outside!
"Your Majesty! When you asked for a war horse from Xiliang, didn't I just give it to you?"

"No."

Dian Wei: "..."

"Then you said whether you will pay in the end?"

"Give it."

"Then why don't you give me a knife now?!"

"No!"

Xu Zhen was also very straightforward, and directly choked Dian Wei a few words, so Dian Wei stared at Xu Zhen.

Eyes wide open.

After staring for a while, he turned his head to look at Jia Xu again.

Jia Xu understood immediately, cupped her hands and said, "Old man, go out first."

When others go out, there are only two people in the main account.

Dian Wei threw himself on Xu Zhen's lap skillfully and hugged him. Before he started howling, Xu Zhen immediately looked up at the sky with a helpless expression on his face.

"Let me put it this way, I want it from the Sword and Shield Camp." Xu Zhen said succinctly, the current resources are not enough, and the three thousand knives will not be produced until at least three months later.

And at that time, it was already autumn harvest.

After the autumn harvest, basically the army will move out here. Of the more than [-] elite soldiers under Xu Zhen's command, only more than [-] people are left to guard Hefei.

And the [-] soldiers and horses in Lujiang can hardly move lightly.

The rest of the army must be taken to Xudu to join Cao Cao's soldiers and horses to prepare for joint training. If they are stationed in the future, they should be stationed in Chenliu County.

It was very close to Dongjun, Xu Zhen could send troops to Puyang in less than three days, and then enter the battlefield south of the Yellow River to prepare to fight Yuan Shao.

It is also possible that Cao Cao has other arrangements.

But no matter how you say it, there is not much time left for Xu Zhen now. For making utensils, what you can get in exchange for today's money and food is only three thousand knives.

Xu Zhen also wanted to use Su Tie to make arrows. It was estimated that there could be thousands of arrows, and he couldn't afford too many.

He only has three counties, not three states.

"Why?! How long has Gao Shun been here? He can lead such soldiers! I don't accept it!" Dian Wei exploded when he heard this, his voice became much louder, and the look of grievance suddenly appeared on his face, he was really anxious up.

"You are going to do it now, right?" Xu Zhen also became serious at this time, looking down at Dian Wei.

"That's not true!" Dian Wei lowered his head, but said very unwillingly: "I just don't accept it, why should he be treated so well by the Lord and Marquis?"

"He was desperate to protect Lu Bu back then!"

"He can't beat me! I can decapitate him in twenty rounds!"

Xu Zhen retracted his foot, pulled it out of Dian Wei's hand, then squatted in front of him, and said in a low voice: "The Sword and Shield Camp is to climb mountains and mountains. He has experience in camps and is more suitable for raids in the mountains and forests." , This kind of battle is almost all death-death tactics, if one is not careful and is ambushed, all of them will die."

"These armaments will also be lost."

"One can't take chances, because the tactics of surprise attack only need to be defeated once, and I will lose an elite soldier and a tiger general. Tell me, I don't want you to die?"

Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, even though he was lying on his stomach, he tried his best to lean back, smiled, and said: "Then the prince must be reluctant to part with me."

"So, I will only say these words once, and if I say too much, it will hurt people's hearts."

"understood!"

Dian Wei stood up and patted the soil, looked around as if looking for something, and smiled honestly.

"Then, then I definitely can't just go back in such a desperate state, really."

"If this is the case, how can I explain to Qi Yu, how can I explain to more than 5000 brothers under my command!? I can't even get a knife, so how can I do it?!"

"I'll hit you with two halberds, and I'll hit them for you myself."

Xu Zhen said seriously.

"Hey!" Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, then his nose suddenly became sour.

Staring at Xu Zhen for a long time, he nodded immediately and laughed happily, "Okay, that's good!"

"Hahaha!! Junhou, I knew that you are the best to me!"

Of the generals in the whole battalion, only Dian Weilai and Xu Zhensapo are useful. Others like Xu Chu and Zhao Yun are useless. Zhuge Liang is not very interested in these, so he will not come to ask for these soldiers except for books. resources in .

Not to mention, now Xu Zhen is willing to waste his time to make a pair of double halberds for Dian Wei.

"Oh! I'm so annoying!!" Xu Zhen glared at him, "Are you a fisherman? You'll never be in the air force, right?!"

"What do I have to bring with me every time I come?"

Dian Wei chuckled, although he didn't understand, he felt that Junhou's explanation was very good, he looked around and saw half a box of shortbread on the copy, and walked over slowly.

Xu Zhen is still complaining, "Some people say you have no brains, but I think your muscles are full of brains!"

"What meat?"

"Kun meat."

Xu Zhen gave him an angry look.

"Junhou, I'm leaving, this shortbread... I'll go back and taste it, and I will say it was sent by Junhou."

"Tsk..." Xu Zhen just wanted to speak, but took a big breath and held back.

Dian Wei came to ask for it once.

Zhao Yun also came to ask for it once. Zhongkang had already talked about this issue with Xu Zhen when he was on duty many days ago.

But they didn't get it.

Now that the most thorny thing is done, the soldiers and horses in each barracks will have nothing to say.

"Next, we have to find ways to get money as much as possible. Those in Jiangdong... Fight for it..."

"Or, Jingzhou can also fight for it."

At this time, Xu Zhen's mind was full of open source matters.

Now the only way to make money is to rely on trade. I am afraid that Jiangdong's strength is still not enough, and we have to think of a way.

Or... Jingxiang is rich in products... Maybe there is still a chance.

"Wait a little longer, there must be a chance in Jingzhou."

At this moment, Xu Zhen wished that the place where he was was occupied by bandits one after another.

It's a pity that all the bandits have become soldiers.

……

noon.

After Xu Zhen finished eating, he took Zhao Yun to the barracks.

Followed by many generals, conduct drills.

After Su Tiedao was built, Pu Yuan specially built a unique one for Xu Zhen.

Added knife grid so it appears longer.

At the same time, the knife holder is blended with gold powder, which looks slightly textured and has been treated with exquisite carving.

And it was named Shuhou Dao.

Xu Zhen held it, and Zhao Yun held the green gun.

"Are you ready?!"

"Come on, my lord!"

Holding the sword in his right hand, Zhao Yun shouted coldly with serious eyes.

"It's done!" Xu Zhenzhong continued to drink calmly, "If the scorpion is broken!"

Zhao Yun exhaled immediately and said, "Let's say it was Xia Houen who made it!"

"Come!"

Xu Zhen took a step forward and swung the knife.

The gust of wind picked up suddenly, and the blade went smoothly.

clang!
A crisp sound.

The swords collided fiercely.

Xu Zhen's tiger's mouth went numb all of a sudden, and he almost let go, but he finally caught it.

The edge of the Shuhou knife shook slightly, but there was no crack.

"Hahaha!"

Xu Zhen burst into laughter immediately, it was amazing!

The green sword that cuts iron like mud cannot be destroyed, which means that all sword and shield soldiers can have such a weapon.

As long as this matter is not leaked out, this army will definitely have a lot to offer when it makes its first appearance on the battlefield in the future.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yun called out, and he actually took half a step back during the duel just now.

At this time, I was a little confused.

This was the first time that Qing Ji encountered a weapon that could not be cut off.

Over the past year, he has forcibly occupied the green jade in his hand, and the more he uses it, the more he likes it. He used to return it to Xiahouen for a while, but now he doesn't return it at all.

Anyway, Xiahouen couldn't beat him.

Watching it again today, suddenly it doesn't smell good.

"Junhou, can you save sixty catties of iron and make me a gun as well?"

Xu Zhen nodded, "Yes."

"Your weapons can be forged by Pu Feng. I'm running out of time. I have to help Awei with a pair of iron halberds."

"Thank you, Monarch!"

Zhao Yun immediately cupped his fists, with a smile on his face, and a little bit of envy at the same time, but he was still not bitter at all, and said quite calmly: "In this way, Brother Dianwei can preach for several months."

"Oh, it's the end of the game."

Xu Zhen shook her head, as if she was humble when others praised her son.

There is still a lot of pride and pride on the face.

……

The equipment of swords and swords, three thousand knives, is constantly speeding up. Xu Zhen has never dared to stop for a while, and at the same time is trying to find ways to open source.

Or collect reports from various places to estimate this year's grain harvest.

Let Zhuge Liang find a way to plan it out and exchange it for money.

Used to fund the army.

About half a month later, two pieces of news that moved Xu Zhen came in the same day.

One is that two merchants came from Jiangdong, saying that they were recommended by the old people, so they came to pay a visit to the prince and brought a large amount of goods to see if they needed to buy.

The second thing is that a group of people came from Lujiang River and came here specially to join Xu Zhen.

"It's really good news, whatever you want."

Xu Zhen smiled and temporarily solved the problem of money shortage.

"Not bad!"

Zhuge Liang followed Xu Zhen's footsteps closely, and the two walked on the straight road from the government office, heading for the main entrance along the way.

Xu Zhen's face was still very calm, and said: "Go to see Xu Gong's people immediately, and then settle the people from Lujiang first."

"Any transaction has a price, first go and see what they want."
