New Story of Lv Bu

"Don't pull it! If you don't want to fall down, retreat to the inner circle and form a defense!" Yan Kuan and Wei Xu both reddened, yelling and commanding everyone to meet the enemy. The melee broke out in an instant, and more than a hundred people who couldn't sleep soundly were dragged out of the field by the off-site supervisors-they became corpses if they were not dragged out! Hundreds of people rushed towards Yan Kuan with their fists. Unprepared, he was immediately beaten to the 20th or 30th. Thanks to the dozens of people Wei Xu took with thick skins and thick bodies, they were able to stabilize their positions.

In the stands, the three adults had already laughed from ear to ear. I didn’t expect such a serious occasion to have such a joke! Wang Jin knows to cover his stomach. "There are more than a hundred people snoring together on the battlefield. This is the first one in Bingzhou!" "Shijun Mingjian, these people are interesting!" Ma Han also burst into tears.

Clang clang, the gong rang, this is the signal for the end of the test. The angry picks still waved their fists to vent their anger until the supervisors beat them out with wooden sticks. Yan Kuan sat down on the ground and looked at Wei Xu who was opposite. Wei Xu's eyes were two bruises, and his cheeks were swollen like pigs' heads. "It's over, we have become the laughing stock of the entire Wuyuan County." Tears burst into Yan Kuan's eyes. Wei Xu spit out a mouthful of blood. "Yes, we made a big joke, but we picked it!"

At noon on the fourth day of February, Lu Bu quietly entered the castle with Gao Shun, Hou Cheng, Cheng Lian, and Wei Yue, and went directly to a heavily guarded area in the southwest. This is the most important place in the entire castle, Lu Bu's craftsman camp, and Lu Bu's scientific research and development base.

Someone was waiting in front of the door long ago. This person is nine feet tall, stronger than a sturdy man, with two arms about the thickness of ordinary people's thighs, black and red skin, and he is twenty-four or five years old. This person's name is Lu Mo, and it is said that he is a disciple of Momen. He is a skilled craftsman. He is in charge of the hundreds of people in the craftsman camp. Like all technical experts, Lu Mo has always cherished words like gold. He only gave his hands a little when he saw everyone, and took them around for a long time before he came to a big house. There are a few shelves in the house, which are full of objects.

Lu Mo removed a bag from the shelf, untied the rope tied outside and took out a weapon blade, which looked like a big knife, and between the blade and the handle was a lifelike tiger's head swallowing. "My son, this knife has a total length of one foot and eight inches, a blade length of four feet, a length of six feet and eight inches, and a weight of about sixty catties. This knife is made of 100-refined steel and is not easy to break. The blow knife can break the hair and is extremely sharp. I have done experiments, and this knife can break through three layers of iron armor with a straight stab and a force slash. But this knife is too heavy to be wielded by people who are not strong enough."

Lu Mo put down the knife and took out another pair of armor from the box. The style of this armor is very special. The earguards of the helmet are turned upside down. There is a **** on the top of the helmet, and a four-inch high helmet tip is screwed on it. Below the neck protector, the armour belt is longitudinally tied to the front of the chest to the back. The breastplate is divided into left and right parts, each with a round heart protector. The waistband is drooping and the knee skirt is tied to the legs, and the waist is shaped like a tiger's head.

"This armor is also made of 100-refined steel. Its protective power is amazing. The arrows fired by crossbows with less than five stones will be bounced. It must penetrate the crossbows that require more than twelve stones. As for the Xianbei's The bone arrow is tickling to it. But this armor is too heavy, one hundred and twenty catties, and only a strong Xiliang horse can carry it or be used in foot combat."

"This knife is made as a prototype based on the Mo knife that the son gave me. The similarity can only reach 80%. The armor is made according to the drawings given to me by the son, and the similarity is 90%. The problem lies in the steelmaking. The hardness and flexibility are still not up to the level of Modao. This way, the armor and weapons are 50% heavier. Even so, it is still dozens of times stronger than the existing standard armor. It is best to coat the outside of the armor. The layer of paint is easy to store and does not reflect light. It looks similar to the existing standard armor style from a distance. I have ordered the craftsman to make several armor pieces, and the armor style can be made after a certain shape."

Lu Bu smiled slightly. After all these years of experience, Lu Mo actually knows how to make money uncovered, which is really gratifying. Lu Bu took out some drawings from his body. "This is what we have discussed before. Can you make it with mountain script?" Lu Mo took a closer look. It turned out to be a waistcoat consisting of five parts: faceplate, neckplate, breastplate, and body. Both the armour and the back armour are drawn with detailed shapes and approximate dimensions.

Lu Mo looked for a long while, then took out his pen and ink for a while, then raised his head. "Two sets of armor can be made into a vest. If the front and back of the armor are made into two protective glasses, some armor pieces can be saved." "This is just a rough look. Armor will be different for different arms. The chiefs will tell you their requirements and how to make your decision. As you know, there are already 3,000 people under my team, and armor and weapons are urgently needed."

Lu Mo lowered his head for a while, then raised his head to look at everyone. "In fact, there is a clever way to quickly make a large amount of armor. A piece of iron and two layers of silk are sandwiched between several layers of leather, and the outermost piece of thin steel is enlarged. This is not difficult, and it saves man-hours and materials. I’ve tried it. It can defend against attacks from a 12-stone bow at 80 steps. The steel used is only half of the original. The weight of the armor can be controlled between 60 to 80 catties. The armor of heavy cavalry and heavy infantry can be thicker. . Our existing standard armor can be used after modification, and it will not be wasted.” Lu Mo scratched his head and continued: “The Mo knife has only three handles. If it is made by the steel filling method and the steel clad method, the weight can be reduced to forty. The hardness and sharpness are not much different, and the difficulty of manufacturing is greatly reduced if the process is simple. I wonder if this method is feasible? Now the most lacking is a large number of fine irons and skilled craftsmen. These weapon armors are no better than saddles, stirrups, horseshoes, and those three. The craftsmanship requirements are not high, it just takes some time."

Hou Cheng is the chief steward of Zuo Qu, and he has always been in charge of purchasing. "Junhou, we have recently purchased a large amount of iron. The price of refined iron has increased by 50%. It is not cost-effective to purchase in large quantities. We can only wait for a while to purchase. Skilled craftsmen are a big problem, unless no one wants to come to this cold place. "

"The key is that we don't have a site, even a county." Gao Shun was speaking. "Depending on the situation this year, we will fight against the Xianbei people, and the production of weapons and armor will be stepped up. Laohou, the scale of the horse farm will be expanded. It is not cost-effective to go out and buy, so we must raise our own horses!"

"The horse farm has been found, and it is not far from the southeast of the castle. Once it is attacked, the horses can rush to the castle."

Listening to the people's speech, Lu Bu's heart moved. "I said Lu Mo, there is a way for craftsmen, can you try it? Now you are a craftsman from start to finish, right? You divide the craftsman into one. Those who are good at smelting keep smelting, and those who are good at mending always dare to repair. Here are a few apprentices, and one apprentice will give a share of money. You set an acceptance standard, accept according to this standard, and pay as long as it is qualified. In this way, a knife is divided into several processes, and the payment is based on the piece. Each person’s specialty is It's all played out. What do you think?" Lu Mo snapped a shot. "Wonderful! In this way, the output will inevitably increase, and it will be easier to manage." "This is called assembly line! Give it a try. Armor and Modao will do as you say. I will give you one month to complete the transformation of the weapon armor. !"

The next topic is more relaxed, is to calculate the income of the wine business and the harvest of the bandit. Hearing that Hou Cheng reported a figure of 300 million yuan, Lu Bu couldn't help being surprised. The purchasing power of the rich in Luoyang City was beyond expectation. Hou Cheng took out a few bamboo slips and looked at it for a while and continued: "The 300 million yuan is our profit, and 30% of the old man has been deducted. The rich people use gold to buy wine, resulting in Luoyang City's money is cheap and expensive. Now Luoyang City is measured. The first item of the wealthy house is how many wines there are. Unfortunately, this wine can only be made once a year. In comparison, the horse bandits are very poor, and the income can only be converted into 5 million yuan, but Wuheng horses have 500 horses.

Everyone discussed the list of materials that need to be purchased in Luoyang, and decided on the quantity and variety and gave it to Hou Cheng. Hou Cheng wrapped the list in oil paper and put it in his arms carefully. "The 300 million dollars seems to be a lot. I paid off all the debts and purchased the necessary materials. The remaining can support at most two years. I can't spend any more money!" "No, that's 300 million dollars." !" The impatient Cheng Lian said.

"Adding a total of 4,000 workers and craftsmen, plus 1,000 soldiers, you can get 50,000 bucks a day, and 1.5 million bucks a month. This doesn’t count as the manor’s self. Vegetables, pickles, and millet are produced. On average, one egg per person per day, one meat for three or five days. Now to train soldiers, each person needs to add one egg per day, one or two meat per day, and three thousand people have to add another egg per day. It’s 10,000 yuan. These people eat 1.8 million yuan a month. There are also horses. Good horses are fed with concentrate. Every day, good beans and raw eggs are added. Each horse is equivalent to the cost of five people. The remaining horses are worth 500,000 yuan a day, and 15 million yuan a month! If you include the salary, the annual salary is 30 shi, and three thousand people are 90,000 shi, half a meter and a half cost, and rice can be self-produced. Forty-five thousand stone meters, calculated as three hundred dollars per stone, is 13.5 million dollars! Only these items are 200 million dollars a year. This does not include the large amount of materials purchased."

After Hou Cheng snapped, Gao Shun and Cheng Lian were petrified, and it would cost so much to dare to raise an army! Wei Yue, who has always been taciturn, rarely speaks. "An army costs a lot. The old man said that the five schools of the Beijing Army have only a few thousand people, which means it costs too much. The big man earns 40 billion yuan each year and spends too much money."

Lü Buhahahahahahad laughed: "It is a fact that the army spends money. Lao Hou also added a false account and doubled the cost! But we will have a hard time. Send all the wines in stock to the old man, by the way in Luoyang. Open a stable and sell good horses. If you don't make money, these thousands of people can't afford it!"

The money matter came to an end, and the army formation was on the table. Gao Shun, Lu Bu's military deputy, was naturally the first to speak. "One thousand and three hundred for the front, three hundred for Laohou, four hundred for the elite horse bandits, one thousand and two hundred for the private army who is used to doing dirty work, a total of three thousand and two hundred. How many troops do these people want to form? How many posts? How many armored weapons and horses? What is the style of the golden drum flag? These are all questions, please let me know!"

Lü Bu pointed at Gao Shun: "Xiao Shunzi, you always have to worry about these things. You first talk about the regulations, and everyone will check them." "That's right, you say first!" Everyone urged. Gao Shun cleared his throat and said one item after another with his fingers. "Three thousand people are a large army. The military officer should have a guard, cavalry, between the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry. The number does not need to be too large. They must all be elite, like eighteen iron guards." "Good!" Three People agreed.

"I want to train a heavy-armored infantry, called the trapped camp. It must be mobile and flexible in order to defeat the Xianbei. There is also a heavy-armored cavalry, all in armor, at critical moments. To pierce through the enemy line, I think it is appropriate for Lian." Pop, Cheng Lian patted his thigh. "I'm so old and willing to do this, this unit is called ?????? Hubaoqi, I heard that this word is good!" The crowd applauded again.

"Wei Yue's two hundred Qiang soldiers are thousands of miles away, coming and going without a trace. I think I will train a light armored cavalry. The infantry armor is only to the knee, and the Wuheng horse is under water." "Okay, I am. Let’s call Tabai’s army.” “Lao Hou’s three hundred men are all wicked like ghosts who are used to sluggish and slippery. They’re like ghosts, so let’s be a scout.” “Okay, we like Laohou, just Call Silver Fox."

"In addition, I will train crossbowmen, sword and shield soldiers, and spearmen. I will be responsible for these. In order to cope with the war, I will secretly recruit three thousand reserve forces. After the battle, I don't know how many people will be left." As soon as he heard that he had to recruit troops, Hou Cheng was immediately anxious. "Lao Hou, don't get excited! First recruit five or six hundred as seeds. Once it is determined that the war breaks out, recruit troops immediately. We have to do business to protect the caravan."

Pressing the angry Hou Cheng, Lu Bu restrained Gao Shun. "You continue." "The flag must be purchased. I think it will be regulated by the red flag. There are three flags per tun with a red background, three golden tassels, one with the surname of the generals, and a large Chinese character flag, indicating that we are the Han army. On the one hand, the military name is marked on the pattern. What do you think?" "Okay!" "Agree!" Everyone was excited and ready to go all night.

The next day, these three thousand people formally began to organize, and each selected his subordinates according to his own standards. Only one of the Eighteen Iron Guards was left and the rest were sent to the next to be Dubo. After an hour, the various armies were organized. Lu Bu’s pro-army and Wei army were composed of a total of 108 people, and the flag was a golden gourd. Gao Shun’s camp was 434 people, and the flag was an iron fist in a triple flame. Cheng Lian's tiger and leopard ride 412 people, and the flag is a vivid and colorful tiger. Wei Xu had 547 men in the White-Treading Army, and the flag was a silver flying horse. Hou Cheng's silver fox army was 328 people, and the flag turned out to be a golden five baht coin! Seeing everyone's surprised eyes, Hou Cheng blushed and explained. "Our old Hou only loves money all his life, and the Silver Fox Army is also the master of money and life. We must win the victory with the least cost! Only in this way can we come back and spend the money we have earned! Brothers, I am right. No?" A strange yin and yang answer broke out from the Silver Fox Army: "Yes!"

Gao Shun frowned, but finally there was no seizure. From the remaining two thousand people, one thousand six hundred were selected and organized into crossbowmen, spearmen, and sword-and-shieldmen, and the remaining four hundred were used as heavy soldiers.

Zuo Qu became an army, and the Lu Bu Seventh Army, which became famous all over the world, was born here. They are the Beiwei army, the trapped camp, the tiger and the leopard riding, the white army, and the silver fox ghost army! Why is it called the Silver Fox Ghost Army? This has something to do with the combat style of this unit. The grandsons are too cunning and have no bottom line! Swindling, abducting and stealing, how to act and how to come! Only ghosts can do it!
