Online Game Bandit Empire

Puyang North, the bank of the Yellow River, Baimajin Ferry.

Two armies of about 5,000 men, totaling 10,000 men, stood by the river, each on one side of the wharf. Nearly two thousand wagons lined up behind the army in turn.

It can be described as a chariot, Ma Xiaoxiao.

The word 'Xiahou' is written on the banner of the army on the left, which is Cao's * relatives, the general under his command, Xiahou Chun and Xiahou Yuanrang.

On the banner of the army on the right is the word 'Wen' of Douda, which is the general under Liu Biao, who hires Wen Zhongye.

These two men brought their troops here, not to fight, but to trade.

It was not Liu Biao who traded with Cao *, but these two traded with Li Tianlong.

The two rode war horses, facing the river breeze, and looked at the vast river from afar. The two armies were silent, and the entire wharf, except for the incessant sound of carts and horses, was silent.

The misty surface of the river was wide as far as the eye could see, and suddenly, a vague fleet of boats loomed out of the mist.

"It's

coming!" "It's coming!"

Xiahou Chun and Wen Ping were in high spirits at the same time.

The fleet on the river, at first faintly faint, then faintly visible, then very clear.

"Iron ship?!"

Xiahou Chun and Wen Ping were shocked.

Behind him, the great armament exclaimed, and there was a commotion, and more than 10,000 people all looked incredulous!

Can the iron ship enter the water?

But what is the matter with the fleet of huge iron ships in front of them?

Xiahou Chun and Wen Ping glanced at each other, and their faces were suddenly solemn.

As

the fleet approached, I saw a pole on the bow deck of the big iron ship headed by the leader. The banner of Zhou's word is blowing in the wind, and a strong award is wearing heavy armor and standing in the wind.

The fleet slowed down and slowly approached the dock, and in a moment, this fleet of about a hundred giant iron ships docked at the dock.

Of course, this iron ship, in the eyes of Xiahou Chun and Wen Ping, can be called a giant, but is this really a giant ship in Youzhou? Obviously, no.

Some things can be slightly exposed to scare the enemy, but the hole cards can never be revealed.

"Zhou Tai, the commander of the Navy under the command of King Yuyang, dare to ask the two generals their names?" Zhou Tai

jumped three feet, jumped from the bow of the boat to the dock, and greeted Xiahou Chun and Wen Ping with his fists.

"A certain is Xiahou Yuan under Cao Yanzhou. "

A certain is hired by Liu Jingzhou. "

Fortunately, I will be lucky!" The

three of them greeted each other, and Zhou Tai said: "Two generals, have you ever brought enough money

?" "Naturally, what about the supplies?"

"On the boat."

"Let's get started. The

three of them said a few words, and then with a wave of their hands, groups of men and horses from the two armies came on board one after another, led the horses off the boat, and carried down the huge wooden boxes one by one.

It took more than an hour for the transaction to be completed.

Seeing the iron ship in Youzhou departing in a radiant light under the faint sunlight, the two of them first stared at the horses with fiery eyes for a long time, and then set their eyes on the two groups of wooden boxes...

"Open!"

Xiahou Yuan walked over, grabbed the lid of the wooden box, and with a slight force, the iron nails flew away, and the lid was violently lifted.

"Ahh

The sharp killing machine rushed into the sky, and Xiahou Chun's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly!

The

firelight sputtered, and when he looked at it again, a gap the size of a grain of rice appeared on each of the two blades!

"Good knife!"

Xiahou Chun's eyes burst into light. His saber, but he asked the sword casting master to specially build a treasure knife, but he didn't expect it to be similar to the saber of ordinary soldiers in

Youzhou! Looking at these thousands of large wooden boxes, Xiahou Chun was overjoyed, and at the same time, he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet!

Youzhou, is it already so powerful?

Then, Xiahou Chun opened the wooden box full of grain, and the grains of wheat were golden and plump, and people were panicked when they saw it.

"Superior grain mouth network!" Over

there, Wen Ping, like Xiahou Chun, exclaimed constantly.

"How can such a thing fall into the hands of others?!"

the two of them calmed down after being shocked, and thought of this sentence at the same time.

Then, the two of them looked at each other in unison, full of murderous intent! The

soldiers on both sides were veterans who had seen blood, and they also felt the killing intent of the main general, and suddenly the swords were unsheathed, and on the dock, the killing intent was awe-inspiring, and the atmosphere was solemn to the extreme.

"Quick, get the things into the carriage!!" The

diploma divided half of the soldiers to carry the supplies, and confronted Xiahou Chun with great caution.

In such a tense atmosphere, after most of the hour, the two sides were afraid of each other, and neither of them did anything, until they each carried the supplies into the carriage, and then drove the horses and slowly retreated.

"Scout, scout!" Xiahou Yuan stared closely at the Jingzhou army that was gradually moving away, and hurriedly said: "Quickly pass this matter to Fenggao, let the lord send an army to intercept Wen Ping, and be sure to grab the materials in his hands!"

On the other side, Wen Ping also hurriedly urged the team to move forward quickly.

This is Cao*'s territory, if you don't leave quickly, I am afraid that I will be intercepted by him, and then there will be no people and money, and it will be very bad for one to die in another country!

In the end, Cao* still failed to intercept the outlaw Wenpin. After all, Cao * Zhi's office moved to Fenggao, Taishan, which was too far away from Puyang, and it took a lot of time to come and go, and when he mobilized the army, Wenpin had already left Yingchuan and entered Nanyang County, Jingzhou.

"I knew that these weapons and armor were so good, how could Wen Ping escape from the palm of Jiang's hand!" Cao

* stroked the sharp edge of Xueliang, heartbroken.

Xu You said: "I thought that even if Li Tianlong agreed to the transaction, he would not be very good, but I didn't expect..."

How useful can these 20,000 sets of weapons and armor and 10,000 war horses be

? As far as the Central Plains is concerned, all the princes, only the wealthy Yuan Shao has a few thousand ironclad soldiers, and the other princes are equipped with leather armor and cloth armor. Ten

years ago, when the war in northern Xinjiang was in turmoil, the horse trade between the Central Plains and northern Xinjiang was cut off. Later, Li Tianlong occupied northern Xinjiang and monopolized all the horses. In the past ten years, the Central Plains cavalry was not visible at all.

If he had these 40,000 sets of such weapons and 20,000 war horses, Cao * would even have the confidence to defeat all the princes of the Central Plains

! Unfortunately, he missed a good opportunity!

Now, Liu Biao also has the same equipment in his hands.

According to the agreement, when Cao * and Liu Biao joined forces to take Yuzhou and divide up the spoils of war, it would be extremely difficult to gnaw an extra piece of meat from Liu Biao's hands

! Next, all the generals under Cao *, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Chun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin, and others launched a fierce competition over this!

They all wanted to keep this batch of materials for themselves.

As a general, who doesn't want to arm their army to the teeth?

Xiahou Yuan has 5,000 sets of weapons, Cao Ren has 5,000 sets of weapons, and Li Dian and Le Jin have 2,000 sets. The remaining 6,000 sets plus 6,000 war horses were handed over to Cao Chun, and he was asked to train the cavalry one by one for the entire camp, and in terms of training cavalry, Cao Chun was the most qualified.

The remaining 4,000 war horses, Cao* asked for 2,000 by himself, equipped the pro-guards, and the remaining 2,000 were evenly distributed among the generals under his command.

At the same time, Cao* took a sample of the equipment and handed it over to the craftsman battalion under his command for research and analysis, wanting to analyze the technology and produce his own weapons. Of course, Cao* also knew that this could be delusional.

Yanzhou does not have the same high-quality conditions as Youzhou, with an extremely large amount of iron ore and a strong financial base. Of course, he didn't know about the coal mine yet.

As for the grain, it is naturally all used as seeds to be planted throughout Yanzhou.

As for the horses, Cao* did not dare to be delusional. Both male and female were castrated, and none of them were missing. Cao* wanted to use this to develop and strengthen the cavalry, but it was a delusion.

Li Tianlong also considered the matter of grain and grass.

It does not mean that the best seeds can be harvested in anyone's hands.

Especially in the Central Plains, various natural and man-made reasons have limited the production of grain and grass.

Constant wars, natural disasters, plagues, etc., etc., have caused the population to pass rapidly, and thousands of miles are uninhabited. These high-quality breeds, even if they fall into the hands of the princes of the Central Plains, at most they will only make their materials more relaxed, and it is impossible to be like Youzhou!

Therefore, Li Tianlong didn't care at all.

At the same time, there is a deeper meaning in this.

After the people of the Central Plains knew that the source of this grain was in Youzhou, they would certainly not hesitate to drag their families and families away from the war and rush to Youzhou!

This is also a step in drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle.

At the same time, the same thing happened in Jingzhou.

However, unlike Cao Ying, most of the materials obtained by Jingzhou went into the hands of Cai Mao.

For example, people who have made great contributions such as Wen Ping can only be assigned 1,000 sets of weapons and war horses. Liu Biao himself intercepted 5,000 weapons and horses, and handed over the rest to Cai Mao for distribution.

Li Tianlong's transactions with Liu Biao and Cao * were not concealed, and naturally all fell into the eyes of the major princes of the Central Plains.

But they don't care.

Because Li Tianlong was not a fool, how could he easily sell good things to others? Wasn't that asking for trouble for himself? Therefore, the princes didn't care, it was just an ordinary transaction at that time.

Of course, the fact that Liu Biao and Cao * obtained 10,000 war horses still aroused the jealousy of all the princes.

Although many people have not seen the power of cavalry. But I have never eaten pork, and I have never seen a pig run? To put it far, in the war records of the past dynasties, the cavalry has always been called the king and the killer; if we say it closely, the Hulu in the northern Xinjiang can invade the Central Plains, and it is not only by the cavalry?

Therefore, Cao * and Liu Biao, who were already feared by people, were almost isolated!

Of course, the other princes also had the idea of trading with Youzhou.

Although he felt that it might not be successful, all the princes sent envoys to Youzhou, ready to buy some war horse supplies from Li Tianlong. Even Yuan Shao, who had a deep grudge against Li Tianlong, was shy and sent a messenger.
