Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 222 [Various Gifts]

Zhang Yang first said: "General, all the elephant soldiers in Jiaozhou are currently gathered in Yulin County. They are temporarily under the control of General Xu. There are more than [-] elephant soldiers in the formation. The combat power is really extraordinary, enough to withstand thousands of troops. How to use it in the future is up to the general to decide."

"General, these elephant soldiers are treasures. They are used to charge and enter the battle. They are very useful. The last general asks to be in charge of training the elephant soldiers, so that the elephant soldiers can become a strong combat force and fight for the general!" Zhang Yang just finished speaking, Xu Rong He hurriedly asked Lu Bu for orders.

Lu Bu looked at the two, thought for a moment, and asked, "Where do these elephants mainly come from?"

"Back to the general, the elephants are mainly located in Jiuzhen County, Jiaozhi County and Yulin County. There are a lot of wild elephants, but it is not easy to teach them. At present, there are more than [-] elephants serving as elephant soldiers. The largest number, if the scale of the elephant army is to continue to expand, more elephant trainers will be needed." Xu Rong said in detail.

While listening, Lu Bu looked at the two elephants next to him. The female elephant was about three meters tall and weighed at least three or four tons. It had rough skin, a long nose, and a pair of white hooked tusks.

"I heard that in the southwest of Jiaozhi County and Jiuzhen County, there are more elephants in those areas of the Yi people," Xu Rong said, his eyes shining.

In the southwest of Jiaozhi County and Jiuzhen County?Isn't that South and Southeast Asia? Lu Bu thought about it, and at the same time realized that the number and distribution of elephants in ancient times were larger and wider than those after 2000.

Elephants are extremely precious. As far as the Han Dynasty is concerned, in addition to being used as elephant soldiers to exert their combat power, they can also be used to transport things, especially in the mountains and forests. Their role cannot be underestimated.

As for the things on the elephant, Lu Bu didn't care too much.For some reason, I had an idea in my mind that I wanted to protect elephants as much as possible.

So he ordered Xu Rong: "Elephant soldiers can let you take over, but at the same time, you have to manage the elephants in Jiaozhou, no matter wild or domesticated elephants, and it is forbidden to shoot and kill elephants, and the elephants must be protected." stand up."

"In addition to training elephant soldiers, we can also form an elephant transport team for transporting supplies to give full play to the advantages of elephants. Do you understand?"

Zhang Yang, Xu Rong, and housekeeper Luo Kun were stunned at the same time when they heard Lu Bu's words.

Zhang Yang said: "General, it is forbidden to shoot elephants. It is easy to manage domesticated elephants, but it may be difficult for wild elephants. Because these elephants basically live in the mountains and forests, most of them are barbarians or The Yi people are hunting and domesticating, and the trainers are basically barbarians from the mountains, so it is very difficult to prohibit these barbarians from shooting and killing elephants!"

Then, Butler Luo Kun also said: "General, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Lu Bu looked at Butler Luo Kun, "Say."

"General, in Jiaozhou, ivory is extremely precious. If it is forbidden to shoot elephants, many people will object to it," said Steward Luo Kun.

Ivory and its related items are already the representative precious items of Jiaozhou, and they are sold to the Central Plains for a lot of value.

These things, Lu Bu, a person who traveled from modern times, never understood, but since Lu Bu has made a decision, he will not go back on his word.

"In the past, I have no control over the general. But now, Jiaozhou is the general that has the final say. Elephants can be domesticated, used as elephant soldiers and transportation vehicles, but shooting elephants for their ivory is absolutely unacceptable. .”

"In addition, this general will also issue a notice prohibiting the shooting of elephants and prohibiting the sale of ivory. Violators will be severely punished!" Lu Bu's tone was beyond doubt.

Xu Rong was happy to see this, and obeyed Lu Bu's order.

While they were talking, Lu Lingqi, Diao Chan, Xiao Taohong and a few accompanying maids ran over.

"Elephant, elephant, where is it?"

Before seeing anyone, I heard Lu Lingqi's voice.

"Lingqi, slow down."

Behind is Xiao Taohong's voice, and Diao Chan is behind.

The three of them soon appeared in the field of vision of Lu Bu and the others. Presumably, they heard the news about the elephant and Lu Lingqi brought them here.

"Wow, it's so big, is this an elephant?"

Seeing an elephant for the first time, Lu Lingqi was so curious and excited that she didn't notice the existence of Lu Bu and others.

"Lingqi, don't come near, I heard that elephants are very ferocious!" Xiao Taohong looked anxious, and followed behind Lu Lingqi worriedly.

Lu Lingqi's pink long-sleeved princess dress is very eye-catching, especially the hem of the skirt only reaches the knees, and she is also wearing white silk stockings.

In addition, Diao Chan also dressed up Lu Lingqi carefully today, her hair and headgear were completely new.

The whole person now looks like a real little princess, well-behaved and beautiful, smart and lively, and lovable.

But in the eyes of most people, although Lu Lingqi's dress is good-looking, it always feels that it violates the so-called "three obediences and four virtues" that women should abide by.

It's just that because of Lu Bu, a great general, they dare not speak out.

However, there is also an advantage in Jiaozhou: there is still a lot of gap between the culture here and the Central Plains, so in terms of thinking, it is logically easier to accept new things.

For example: Lu Bu's commercial restructuring and the issuance of new currencies have all proceeded relatively smoothly.

"Meet the General!"

Lu Lingqi and Xiao Taohong didn't pay attention to Lu Bu and the others, but Diao Chan noticed it as soon as they arrived, and immediately stepped forward to salute.

Diao Chan's beauty, like a fairy, is enviable.Zhang Yang and Xu Rong were very surprised to see Diao Chan's true face for the first time.

The two of them had also heard that there was a beautiful woman in Lu Bufu, and seeing her now, she was much more beautiful than imagined.

Lu Bu glanced at Zhang Yang and Xu Rong, and the two hurriedly looked away from Diao Chan, lest Lu Bu misunderstand.

Then Lu Bu looked at Diao Chan, said with a smile, "Ling Qi didn't cause you any trouble, don't spoil her too much."

Diao Chan lowered her head slightly, and replied, "Don't worry, General, Ling Qi is very sensible."

Just as Lu Lingqi was looking at the two elephants curiously, another group of people came to the General's Mansion: Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Ding Hong, Gao Shun, Yang Feng, Xu Huang and others.

They also came with all kinds of gifts, jewelry, weird things, things to play with, food to eat, everything that one expects to find.

Lu Bu then entertained them for lunch, and they got together to chat after lunch.

In the afternoon, almost all the people who were supposed to come arrived one after another.

Those who came to this birthday party are: Chen Gong, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Ding Hong, Qin Yun, Zhang Liao, Hao Meng, Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, Song Xian, Wei Xu , Liu Xi, Cai Yong, Cheng Bing, Xue Ren, Hua Tuo, Gong Shuming and other main characters.

In addition, some people also brought some family members.Among them, Cai Yong's daughter, Cai Yan.

These people brought various gifts, among them, apart from the elephant brought by Xu Rong, surprisingly, Hao Meng brought two little tigers, which Lu Lingqi liked very much.
