Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

"What's the request?" Lu Bu was keenly aware of the change in Zhang Zhao's expression.

"In the past, the Marquis of Jin once sold the Thunderbolt Chariot to Jingzhou. I wonder if the Marquis of Jin can sell this thing to Jiangdong. If so, Jiangdong will be grateful." Seeing that Lu Bu really showed a strong interest in this matter, Zhang Zhao

I was secretly happy.

Lu Bu said: "If the Marquis of Wu is willing to pay enough, he will be able to ride a thunderbolt chariot."

Zhang Zhaodao: "I wonder what the Marquis of Jin wants?"

"Fifty thousand stones of rice and grain and a thunderbolt chariot." Lu Bu said directly.

Zhang Zhao was no longer so calm: "Marquis of Jin, this is absolutely impossible." Jiangdong could give him 50,000 shi, rice and grain, but it was not worth it just to exchange for a thunderbolt chariot.

"Don't refuse in a hurry. After all, I am still at a loss. Fifty thousand stones of rice and grain are exchanged for more than just a Thunderbolt Chariot. After having a Thunderbolt Chariot, shouldn't Jiangdong still be able to build a Thunderbolt Chariot?"

Zhang Zhao was silent when he heard this. If calculated this way, Jiangdong had indeed taken a big advantage, but the plan to assemble the Pili Chariot into the army in a short time would come to nothing.

"If Jiangdong purchases fifty Pili Chariots at one time, how much rice and food will be needed?" Zhang Zhao asked.

"Five hundred thousand stones." Lu Bu said.

"If it costs 300,000 dan, Jiangdong is willing to buy fifty Pili Chariots." Zhang Zhao said.

"Deal." Lu Bu agreed directly. It was only a matter of time before the princes owned the Thunderbolt Chariot. As long as Jiangdong could get one Thunderbolt Chariot, skilled craftsmen could imitate it and sell fifty Thunderbolt Chariots to Jiangdong. It was not a big deal for the craftsman's workshop.

What, the Pili chariot consumes not much iron, but more wood, and three hundred thousand stones of grain and grass is not a small amount of money. There will be no conflict of interest between Jiangdong and Bingzhou in the short term.

Only when Sun Ce becomes stronger can he resist Liu Biao and his future enemy Cao Cao. He does not want his allies to be wiped out by others so easily.

Zhang Zhao was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Lu Bu to agree so readily. This was still far from the bottom line price Sun Ce gave him.

Seemingly seeing Zhang Zhao's hesitation, Lu Bu said: "I have a good relationship with Sun Wentai. Bo Fu is my descendant. Even if he suffers some losses, it doesn't matter."

Zhang Zhao showed gratitude, but in his heart he disagreed. If Lu Bu was really motivated by these feelings, he would not accept the rice grains. "Thank you so much, Marquis of Jin."

After a brief silence, Zhang Zhaodao: "This year, Jingzhou sent an envoy to Jiangdong to talk about the merger of the states. The envoy said that the Marquis of Jin occupied Bingzhou and Youzhou and wiped out the Xianbei. He was very powerful, but he was at odds with the Xianbei and the Xiongnu on the grassland.

The Wuhuan people are united in one place. If they enter the Central Plains in the future, they will definitely become a disaster. They want to join forces with Wu Hou and attack Bingzhou."

A stern look flashed in Lu Bu's eyes. It was just as Guo Jia had guessed, but he didn't expect that the one who took the lead in instigating this incident would be Jingzhou. At that time, the imperial court had appointed him as a general. Sure enough, none of these people were simple.

"After Wu Hou learned about this, he flatly refused. Jin Hou and Wu Hou had a life-saving grace. How could Wu Hou do such an ungrateful thing?" Zhang Zhao said solemnly. When the envoy went to Jiangdong, it indeed caused quite a stir among the upper echelons of Jiangdong.

However, Sun Ce rejected the Jingzhou envoy and scolded the Jingzhou envoy instead.

Lu Bu said: "I am just meeting at the right time. I already know about the Jingzhou incident. I will order people to send people to Jiangdong after the rice and grain are transported from Jiangdong."

"Thank you, Marquis of Jin. Is it just a matter of bed crossbows?" Zhang Zhao said. Jiangdong is more about the power of the water. If these bed crossbows can be equipped on warships, they will be of great help to the navy. Battles on the water

, originally focused on bows and arrows.

"Fifty crossbows, 600,000 stones of grain and grass." Lu Bu said. The incident in Jingzhou made him more vigilant. The reason why the princes did not attack Bingzhou now is because Bingzhou did not affect their interests. Bingzhou and Youzhou are not the same.

The lack of elite men was a weakness in terms of food and grass, which was why Lu Bu wanted to seize Jizhou.

Zhang Zhao heard this and wanted to bargain, but when he saw Lu Bu's expression, he kept silent.

"Creating a bed crossbow requires more materials. The reason why I can sell the bed crossbow to Jiangdong is based on the friendship between both parties." Lu Bu said.

When Zhang Zhao heard this, his heart moved. It was indeed as Lu Bu said. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had bed crossbows, but they protected them extremely tightly for fear of being known to others. Not to mention 600,000 stones of food and grass, even if they had a little more, they would not necessarily

After selling, Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou and was close to Yangzhou. The two sides would definitely have conflicts of interest in the future. Once Jiangdong had the bed crossbow, it would be equivalent to establishing a powerful enemy for himself.

"This matter is of great importance. We will discuss it after reporting it to the Marquis of Wu." Zhang Zhaodao said that since he came to Jinyang, he planned to have a good look around the city. As long as he sent a letter back to Jiangdong and sent the rice grain to Bingzhou, he would wait.

The Pili Chariots have been transported to Jiangdong. Fifty Pili Chariots can play a big role in attacking or defending the city. As for the Xiao Xiaoxiao who will cause chaos along the way, as long as they bear the banner of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, they will be in some cities.

The generals saw this and did not dare to cause trouble. Who in the world today does not know that Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is under the command of the Marquis of Jin, and many bandits have suffered bad luck because of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.

As more and more businessmen enter Jinyang, the scale of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is also growing. Now the number of soldiers in the Escort Bureau has exceeded 5,000. Even if the number of people increases, sometimes some need to be transferred from the army.

Taxi soldiers.

It can be said that the Escort Bureau provided Bingzhou with thousands of standing troops and earned a lot of money. Even if other princes knew this, they would only envy it. Now that the name of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has been established, let's go to Shanxi

There are the most businessmen in Yang. If escort agencies are opened in other places, business will not be very good.

After Zhang Zhao left, Lu Bu turned his attention to Jia Xu. Seeing that Jia Xu could not hide his worry, Lu Bu smiled and said: "It's just a small fight by Liu Biao. Does Wen He think that he can rely on the soldiers and horses of the mere princes?"

Can Hu Pass be broken? What I am worried about is that after the war starts, the people of Bingzhou will fall into panic and affect the normal operation of Bingzhou."

"As the Lord said, Bingzhou now relies more on commercial exchanges. The grain and grass produced by Youzhou and Bingzhou are already insufficient to pay for the army. However, the families of the soldiers in the army do not need to pay taxes and can collect taxes every year.

The amount of rice grain has been greatly reduced." Jia Xu said that although this strategy made the soldiers in the army work harder and the people became more supportive of the army, the rice grain collected by the state pastoral office was much less.
