Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 353 Wu Anguo's Worries
"As for winter clothes, there is no shortage of cattle and sheep in Liaodong. I saw many people wrapped in animal skins along the way. Su Yang, you can call craftsmen to develop how to make these furs into warm clothes."

"Ah, why didn't I think of that!" Su Yang slapped his head again.

"In addition, see if you can recreate leather armor. The captain and above can wear leather armor to solve the problem of incomplete iron armor. I have ordered Liu Li to search for iron ore, and I don't think it will take long to find it. After finding it, build troops first Xuzhou also supplies blades and arrows here."

"Leather armor?" Su Yang was taken aback. Does leather armor work?But it's better than nothing, the current corporal leader doesn't have an A yet. "Yes. I will write a letter to Zhang Jin together, and call in more craftsmen. In addition, the local craftsmen must be more experienced. I will do it when I get back."

"Yuan Shao, you have an opponent in your military training. In the future, each battalion will add a wild hunt to their training, which will be dedicated to killing wolves, and the fur obtained will be given to Su Yang."

Pei Yuanshao laughed loudly: "Okay, I wonder how much the firm will pay?"

"How much will it cost? Then I will make leather armor and give it to the army. How much will the general give to the business?"

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed in unison.

"It's just that, isn't our trade with Yuan Tan one-sided? How can Yuan Tan agree?" Su Yang's worry is not unreasonable, mutual benefit is the basis of the alliance.

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way. The winter is long, one is cold, and the other is snow and the road is not smooth, but you also have to think that the road is not only for walking?"

"Don't go? Is it like swimming in water?" Pei Yuanshao wondered.

"That's a good point. But it's not swimming, you can still slide." Zhou Cang said so far, the Taishi chair has come out ahead of time, skateboards and sleds are not complicated at all, let the craftsmen use their ingenuity. "That's what I said. Walking is not just about two feet and wheels. As long as you think about it, there will always be a way."

After Zhou Cang finished speaking, he looked at the three of them and said solemnly: "You are all old people who came out of my side, and there will be many newcomers coming to Liaodong in the future. After I return to Xuzhou, a huge burden will fall on you, so be careful , but the journey is far away and it is impossible to ask me for everything, so don’t hesitate when it’s time to act.”

After Zhou Cangyao sacrificed to Wei, he took the independent battalion to Xuantu County.Bo Cai said that Ke Bineng had already replied. Coincidentally, Ke Bineng was one of the Xianbei knights who went south that year, but he was only 17 years old at that time. , a young general with a lance, and a warrior with two halberds. Later, he inquired many ways, and the young general with a horse lance was called Zhou Cang, and the one with two iron halberds was called Elai.

After receiving Zhou Cang's letter, Ke Bi Neng did not dare to underestimate it, and immediately sent someone to reply to express his willingness to agree to Zhou Cang's conditions, but he also made two requests, one is whether the iron pot can be exchanged, and the other is to give him a one-month deadline The clan moved away, and asked whether Elai was also in Liaodong.Bocai had already agreed to the one-month deadline, but he refused the request of the iron pot. Zhou Cang made it clear that there were only earthen pots and porcelain, so naturally the iron pot was also counted as iron wares.As for Elai, Bocai told Ke Bineng: Liaodong generals Liu Yi and Yang Yi both died under Elai's halberd.

The reason why Ke Bineng is close to the Han people is because he has two Han people around him, Yan Rou and Yan Zhi.Yan Rou was originally Liu Yan's subordinate. After Liu Yan's death, Yan Rou fled to Xianbei, and joined Xianbei and Gongsun Zan as enemies.

Bo Cai is no longer the Bo Cai he was when he was in the Yellow Turban, Zhou Cang is very pleased that this hand is so beautiful that he is pulling and frightening.If Ke Bineng wants to rise, he must rely on the strength of the Han people. The conditions given to Ke Bineng are relatively favorable. In order to develop and grow, he has no reason not to agree.

"To deal with them, we must use both kindness and power. We must not only let them know how powerful they are, but also give them some benefits. One month later, Guan Hai and Liang Guang will be sent to the expedition. Five trades, a commercial tax will be levied on the basis of thirty percent of the transaction volume, and it will be used as military resources."

Zhou Cang said again: "I heard what Liu Zhi said, now Xianbei is mainly divided into three parts, one is Ke Bineng, the other is Budugen, and the third is Fuluohan. Trade with Ke Bineng, and the other two will soon There will also be news that requires trade. At that time, two more markets can be opened, and they cannot be gathered in one place. It is most beneficial for Xuantu to have these three departments, and not let one family dominate. Bring in more horses and try to spend a year Expand the Thunder Battalion to 5000 people."

Bocai understood, pulled the weak, suppressed the strong, and caused internal friction among the Xianbei people. The best people were all wiped out, and all the horses, cattle and sheep were sent to Xuantu. "It's difficult to expand to 5000 people! Unless we recruit herdsmen into the army."

"Hehe, why not? Goguryeo, Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Huns, as long as they are willing to surrender, they can be incorporated into the army, but they cannot be appointed as high-ranking officials."

Xuantu is too desolate and sparsely populated, and it is difficult to develop greatly without a situation of 20 years.Therefore, Zhou Cang used Xuantu as a military town, neither collecting taxes nor interfering with the people, and allowing them to develop themselves.After staying in Xuantu for two days, Zhou Cang turned to the southwest to inspect the Jinzhou City under construction.

Jinzhou was very busy at this time. Wang Dachui led the craftsmen, auxiliary soldiers, and laborers to rush to work day and night, digging foundations and laying foundation stones.The city is completely set up according to the military city, except for some auxiliary soldiers, there are no residential houses and shops in the city, it is completely a military city, with a radius of [-] steps.

"General Wu is really a tiger father without dog son. This is General Wu's teaching skills!" Zhou Cang praised Wu Gang and Wu Anguo.

"My lord said that I am ashamed of this old man, the main reason is to get my lord's instruction..." Wu Anguo waved his hands again and again, "This son still needs to follow the lord to practice more."

"I don't know what the general thinks about building a city here?"

Wu Anguo thought for a while and replied: "My lord's deployment seems to be intentional to expand to the north and east, and has no intention to go south. Jinzhou is the gateway to Liaodong. I don't know if it is correct?"

"Exactly, let them fight the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. If we defend Jinzhou and Liaodong, we will be invincible."

Liaodong's foundation is weak, and if he gets involved in the battle between the two armies, anyone who helps him will be used as a gun.

"In my opinion, the city of Jinzhou alone is enough to defend the gates, but once the battle between Cao and Yuan is over, the victor will inevitably spy on Liaodong. Therefore, I think two more acropolises should be built on the two wings of Jinzhou."

"I don't know where to choose the two acropolises for General Wu?" While speaking, Zhou Cang unfolded the map that he had brought along from Liu Zhi.

"I chose one place, but I haven't thought about another one yet." Wu Anguo pointed to the map and said, "This place is called Songshan, and I chose this place because it is on the side of Jinzhou and can echo with Jinzhou, so that it can completely control the northward advance." The road is blocked, and the second is to build the city on the mountain, so it is easy to obtain materials."

Zhou Cang looked at the map and nodded, why did he hear the name Songshan so familiar.

"The general is right! If the enemy's army is encircling the territory but not attacking it, or besieging the city for reinforcements, or directly bypassing Jinzhou, it is indeed a big disadvantage. According to the general's proposal, the general is asked to build two more acropolis within five years. I will tell Zhang Jiong the cost. In this way, the three cities of Jinzhou, with the support of the Yingkou navy, and the reinforcements from Xiangping and Liaonan are enough to defend."
