Optimization System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 211
Jian'an 14th year, AD 209, spring

Zhang Lan stationed troops in Tongguan, but failed to send troops to rescue Chang'an. Ma Chao, Xiang Feng and Feng Xian's army were defeated in a battle, led his troops to break through, and fled to Tongguan.

Zhang Lan left Ma Chao to guard Tongguan, and led the troops to retreat to Luoyang.

He also summoned Zhang Liao and others to go to Yiyang to fight against Cao Cao.

Jian'an 14th year, AD 209, summer

Zhang He and Lu Xun led the troops to recapture Wujun, Kuaiji and other counties. Because Lu Xun came forward and Sun Quan passed on the letter, they surrendered all the way without hindrance.

Knowing the integrity in his heart, Zhou Yu led the army to attack.

Halfway through the road, before reaching Hefei, he suddenly contracted a serious illness and had to return to Anfeng.

Jian'an 14th year, 209 AD, early autumn
"Your Majesty, General Ma Jun of the Divine Craftsman Battalion is asking to see you."

"Proclaim"

"According to the purpose"

"An audience with Xuan Majun"

"My humble minister Ma Jun sees His Majesty"

"Ai Qing Pingshen"

"Thank you Your Majesty"

"Ma Aiqing came here this time, but the armored vehicles have made some achievements?"

There was light in Zhang Lan's eyes.

It's not his fault. Every time Ma Jun comes here, it's because of research progress. It's almost done before, but this time, it must be that the armored vehicle has been completed.

Ma Jun was also agitated in his heart, suppressed his excitement and said, "Return to Your Majesty, just as Your Majesty expected, the armored vehicle has been developed."

"it is good!"

After hearing Ma Jun's words, Zhang Lan immediately jumped up and couldn't help screaming.

"Go, take me to see"

"Ministry of obedience"

Zhang Lan didn't care about other things, and immediately followed Ma Jun to investigate the armored vehicles.

After arriving at the 'research base', Zhang Lan's heart skipped a beat suddenly.

A heavily armed armored vehicle appeared in front of Zhang Lan.

The front end of the armored vehicle and both sides of the wheels have sharp thorns, and there is an extra-long spear on it, which is completely developed according to the discussion between Zhang Lan and Ma Jun.

"How many people have learned how to stand on a steam car now?"

Zhang Lan turned to Ma Jun and asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are more than two hundred people who can easily drive a steam car."

"Well, okay, go and call a skilled person to try this armored vehicle"

"According to the purpose"

After a while, a soldier came to Zhang Lan.

"See Your Majesty"

Zhang Lan nodded and looked at the soldier, "Get up, what's your name?"

The soldier looked very excited.

"Return, return to Your Majesty, the villain's surname is Zhou Mingxu"

"Well, how many years have you been in the army? Who do you work under? What position do you hold?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the villain has been following Lieutenant Yang for five years, and now holds the post of Centurion."

The Xiaowei Yang mentioned in this week's continuation is called Yang Wu, and he is also a veteran, but his martial arts are not outstanding, so he is only a captain.

Zhang Lan smiled and nodded, "Yes, go try this armored vehicle. If you do well, I will make you a captain."

Zhou Xu was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." He quickly knelt down on the ground and saluted Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan laughed and said, "Haha, well, let's try it quickly. This is the No.1 experimental armored vehicle. Maybe it will be famous in history."

Zhou Xu's vision also brightened. Who wouldn't want to leave their name on history?

"Will live up to His Majesty's expectations"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xu climbed into the armored vehicle.

Zhang Lan also left the 'research base' and came to the open space outside.

Zhou Xu also drove out in the armored vehicle, moved forward quickly, and then ran for about 100 meters, then turned around suddenly, since there was a graceful movement.

Zhang Lan also widened her eyes, feeling a little unbelievable.

Fortunately, the armored vehicle is very heavy, and this elegant is not very successful. If it is lighter, it may be successful, but it may also overturn directly.

'It is also possible to train racing drivers in ancient times'

This thought came to Zhang Lan's mind.

At the same time, he had another idea in mind, which was to build roads.

Although the armored vehicle can be put into battle, it is prone to accidents due to bumps and bumps along the way. Moreover, if the road is repaired, it will not only reduce such accidents, but also increase the speed.

At the same time, his affection for this man named Zhou Xu increased greatly.

After a while, Zhang Lan called to stop, and Zhou Xu stopped the armored vehicle and came in front of Zhang Lan.

"His Majesty"

"Hahahaha, good." Zhang Lan laughed loudly, and couldn't help but praise Zhou Xu, "Yes, from now on, you are the captain of this armored battalion.

Zhou Xu was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed "Thank you, Your Majesty"

"Ma Jun"

"The little minister is here"

"From now on, we will go all out to produce armored vehicles, and we will not slack off"

"Ministry of obedience"

----

The development of the armored vehicle is undoubtedly the greatest joy for Zhang Lan.

Unless gunpowder technology is also developed, this is the most important research ever undertaken.

After returning to the palace, Zhang Lan called Zhuge Liang directly and ordered Zhuge Liang to build the road in an all-round way.

But the repairs are not inside the city, but outside Luoyang City. The requirements are not high, just filling and leveling the road.

But to Zhang Lan's surprise, since Zhuge Liang showed a embarrassed expression.

"Kong Ming? What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, now that we have been fighting all the year round, although there are new types of grain seeds and Chinese looms that have increased our income, they have not yet fully spread. Now the national treasury is empty. If it is used to build roads, then it will be difficult to support it. "

Zhang Lan frowned when she heard this, and asked in a low voice, "How long can it last if it is used to build roads?"

"Nowadays, the new grain seeds have begun to bear fruit, but there are not many Huaxia looms, and the new income is very low. There are also heroes in Liangzhou, and the price is severely suppressed. Other aspects are as usual. The key is Research requires a lot of silver, so it seems that the money in the treasury can only last for half a year."

Zhang Lan remained silent. Road construction is a big project, and it cannot be completed at 01:30. It requires a lot of time and a lot of manpower.

What Zhang Lan considered was to gather his forces, lead Cao Cao's army to Luoyang City, and fight to the death.

Taking advantage of the armored vehicles and building roads, Cao Cao was eliminated in one go.

But that's the way the economy is now.

"Hey, forget it, let's go down"

"Yes"

Zhuge Liang retreated.

If the economy is insufficient, it will take a long time to reply.

Now Zhang Lan has no way to shorten this time.

The only way is to support war with war, only recklessly.

In addition, it takes a long time to make armored vehicles, and it is useless if the number is small.

Fortunately, many parts have been produced in the past, which shortens the time for making armored vehicles.

But now the situation is urgent. Seeing that Cao Cao and Liu Bei have all called home.

In desperation, Zhang Lan got into the optimization space again.

"Lao Wang, Lao Wang"

Following Zhang Lan's call, Old Wang appeared in front of Zhang Lan.

"What's the matter with you kid?"

"Help me find a way? I know you are the best"
