Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Ye City, Duke Wei's Mansion, in the study.

Cao Cao played chess alone at the desk.The so-called chess started in the Warring States Period, and it has been quite perfected today.

Cao Cao held two sides alone, catching and fighting each other, and the confrontation was fierce.

"Ming Gong, there is news from the southern spies." At this moment, Chen Qun came in from the outside and reported.

"Got it?" Cao Cao held a piece of paper in his hand, planning to make a move.asked without raising his head.In Cao Cao's view, this time things should be very easy.

After all, his spies are all very experienced. They are very good at instigating against the enemy generals and inquiring about intelligence, not to mention those businessmen.

As long as the high-ranking officials show their lords and get Chu Shu's manufacturing technology, it will be a matter of seconds.

"No success. The spies did take action, but after contacting some businessmen one after another, not only did they not get it, most of them were betrayed to Chu officials. From Jianghuai to Jiangdong, and then to Jingzhou and Yizhou, our spies lost money. It's very big." Chen Qun said with a serious and wry smile on his face.

"What?" Cao Cao held his hand and wanted to put it down, but when he heard what Chen Qun said, the chess piece fell from between his hands onto the board.Cao Cao suddenly looked up at Chen Qun and asked in disbelief.

What a joke, those elite spies under his account couldn't deal with a group of businessmen, and they were pulled out one after another.What exactly is going on.

"Duke Ming heard you right, we failed." Chen Qun said with a wry smile on his face.Cao Cao has never encountered such a thing, nor has he encountered it.

Cao Cao couldn't believe it, and he couldn't believe it even more.

Businessmen, a group of businessmen.Unexpectedly, unexpectedly.

"Aren't businessmen all the kind of people who fall on both sides? Although our Wei State does not have the upper hand, we still have a strong force. Aren't they afraid to do this? After our Wei State gains the upper hand and destroys Chu State , Will you settle accounts with them? Could it be that the merchants of Chu State deliberately? They are all patriots?" After a while, Cao Cao calmed down a little and said.The tone is still unbelievable.

"This minister doesn't know either." Chen Qun said with a confused look on his face when he heard the words.If it is said that businessmen are all patriots, they would not believe Chen Qun even if they were killed.

But the facts are in front of you, and you can't believe it.Most of the businessmen in that group defended the state of Chu and simply betrayed their spies.

This is unreasonable, absolutely unreasonable.

"Unless, they are sure that the Chu State will be able to raise troops to attack Wei, Liang, and Qin Yitian." Soon, Cao Cao calmed down and said.But this sentence made Cao Cao even more annoyed.

A group of businessmen, who are ungrateful for profit, dare to talk about the world.He believed that the world must belong to Chu.Cao Cao felt that he had never been looked down upon so much in his life.

However, Cao Cao has nothing to do with those businessmen, because they are businessmen from Chu State and are protected by Chu State.Even if he had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, he killed these businessmen to vent his anger.

"What's the reaction from the state of Chu now?" Cao Cao calmed down his ups and downs and asked.

"Kou Feng issued an edict for this, strictly ordering the merchants to disclose their technology, otherwise they will kill the clan." Chen Qun replied.

"It seems that Chu Shugu will have to wait for some time. A few years, after a few years, the state of Chu's defenses will not be so strict, and then peep."

Cao Cao said.

Cao Cao knew that spies could only act in secret, and once exposed, it would be difficult to threaten any more.Now not only the spies have lost a lot, but even the businessmen in Chu State have become frightened.

It is impossible to obtain technology from merchants.Can only wait.

"Hey." Cao Cao looked up to the sky and sighed, Chu Shu, the book he valued, but he didn't get it, it's true.

After sighing, Cao Cao got up and went to the bookcase next to him, and took out a book from above.

Chu State exported books to the north, which were very valuable.However, those gentry still flocked to him, and Cao Cao was also a book lover, so he bought a complete set of Zhuzi's works in private.

Cao Cao cherishes it very much.

"Hey." Touching the cover of the book is like touching a beloved child, but now I can't get it.Cao Cao couldn't help but sighed.

......................

Chengdu, inside the Chu Palace.

Kou Feng was in a very relaxed mood, of course he didn't know Cao Cao's laments.But he was also very happy. During these days, things in Chu State were on the right track.

The financial investment made the forging of the armor very fast.The [-] pieces of armor were all completed ten days ago and delivered to Chen Da for use.

The dispatch of troops is scheduled for October, and now it is August, and there are still two months left.Enough for the Pojun to adapt to the armor.

It can be said that everything is going well.

The only thing that makes people a little worried is the things in the south. The natives in the south are not easy to mess with. This is a reason that I used to worry about.In the case of large-scale businessmen going south, this worry has been verified.

Many businessmen are no longer familiar with the situation in the south. Although they have chosen guides from among the ten southern countries, they are still attacked by some uncivilized natives.

They refuse to trade.

Under such circumstances, the armies of the ten southern states and the state of Chu quickly attacked, either defeated or slaughtered those tribes.However, some caravans still suffered heavy losses.

This matter made Kou Feng quite annoyed.Fortunately, however, some merchants managed to conclude deals in the south and brought back countless valuables such as ivory, gold, and emeralds.

It caused a sensation in the whole Chu country.A [-]% interest can make people take risks, let alone a [-]% interest.

According to what Kou Feng knew, a large number of businessmen flocked to the south some time ago.This is not limited to the seventy well-known elders recruited by Kou Feng a few months ago.

Most of the merchants in the entire Chu State poured into the south.The big ones have caravans, while the small ones consist of young men, more than ten people, or even a few people.

More than [-] people went south.Unprecedented scale.

During the Han Dynasty, there was the Silk Road.But now that the Han Dynasty has withered, there is no way to radiate its power to the entire Western Regions.It is difficult for merchants to move westward, enter the Western Regions, and go further to Europe.

Therefore, Kou Feng could not feel the prosperity brought by the Silk Road.But Kou Feng personally felt the prosperity brought by this golden road in the south.

The treasury of Chu State also increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, the more so.The more Kou Feng felt the importance of force, the more he felt that it was his duty to safeguard the interests of his own country.Therefore, Kou Feng ordered Meng Da's army to be divided into ten armies and stationed within a range of more than a thousand li.

To protect, to conquer.

Maintain this golden road.

"I hope Zhuge Liang, Meng Da will not disappoint Gu." Kou Feng said with a slight smile.

"Your Majesty, Chen Dalai, the general of the town army, has reported that the eight thousand broken troops have adapted to armor. Please move your majesty to parade." At this time, a small official came in from the outside and reported.

"It's finally done."

Kou Feng smiled and said.Immediately, he shook his head and put aside the southern affairs, after all, the Northern Expedition matter was more important.

Immediately, Kou Feng got up and left the side hall, took a car out of the palace, and went to Chen Da's military camp outside the city.

It was not the first time for Kou Feng to go out of the city to Chen Da's barracks, but it was the first time he observed the broken army formed, with [-] pieces of armor, plus several months of day and night training.

The eight thousand broken army must be valiant and arrogant.

Beizheng Yongliang, just look at this sharp knife.

On the chariot surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, Kou Feng showed a look of anticipation.

Soon, Chen Da's barracks arrived.

At the gate of the camp, Chen Da led the main generals in the army to welcome Kou Feng.

"Meet Your Majesty."

When Kou Feng's chariot approached, Chen Da led the crowd to salute.

"General Zhenjun and all generals are exempt from courtesy." Kou Feng smiled slightly, raised his hand and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Da once again led the crowd to thank him.

At this time, Kou Feng got off the carriage and came in front of Chen Da.

"Take Gu to see Po Jun." Kou Feng and Chen Da didn't need politeness at all, nor did they need to win over, so naturally they didn't need to exchange pleasantries, so Kou Feng said straightforwardly.

"Promise." Chen Daying made a promise and led the way.

Not long after, Kou Feng came outside the school grounds.At this moment, there are [-] soldiers standing in the school grounds. In terms of faces, they are no different from a few months ago.

That is, the equipment on his body has changed, from Chu Dao and leather armor to Chu Dao and armor.

Eight thousand pieces of armor glisten in the sun.Especially when worn on Po Jun's body, the aura is really daunting.

You can't feel the aura of breaking the army at the side, so Kou Feng only took a glance, and led Chen Da to the general platform.

On the general platform, Kou Feng stood at the forefront, looking down at the eight thousand troops below.

His eyes were full of admiration, the eight thousand Po Army below was really much stronger than it was a few months ago.Just stood there, unmoved.

But it condensed a thick aura like a mountain.

That is not the breath that can be formed through simple training.That is the aura that can only be formed by hard training and being very confident in one's own strength.

Breaking the military.

If, on that day, Kou Feng and the protons from the ten southern countries boarded the Dianjiangtai together, and what he saw were eight thousand elites, then now is the real breaking army.

However, there are only some prototypes.

There is still a gap from the momentum of the eight hundred broken army.However, Kou Feng is already very satisfied, it's only been a few months, Chen Da has already trained Po Jun to the present level, already very fast.

"Move, let Gu feel the aura of breaking the army." Kou Feng looked at it for a while, then turned his head and gave orders to Chen Da with a smile.

"promise."

Chen Daying made a promise, and immediately turned around to convey Kou Feng's order to the guards behind him.

Under the conveyance of the guards, not long after, the sound of beating drums sounded in the barracks.

"Boom, boom, boom." The sound of drums shook the sky.

With the sound of thundering drums, Po Jun drew the Chu Dao from his waist.Then, a loud roar sounded.

"kill."

For a moment, the situation changed, and the sky was filled with murderous aura.
