Chapter 571: Going to Longhua Again
After listening to Huangfu Chaobo's words, the knight knew that this was definitely unavoidable, so he nodded in agreement. Huangfu Chaobo said nothing more, but turned to Lou Gui and said, "Next, we have to work hard for Mr. Zibo!"
"I accept your order," Lou Gui quickly stood up and replied. After speaking, he turned to the two knights and said, "Please follow me." After saying that, he led the two knights to leave the prefect's mansion and go to his own house. yamen.
Watching a few people leave, Huangfu Chaobo said: "Tell me, how many benefits have you gained?"
"What's the benefit..." Upon hearing this, Zhao Zilong immediately picked up Qu and was about to continue the performance when he found Huangfu Chaobo looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile. He suddenly felt guilty and said, "Okay , Okay, why don’t I confess? Five thousand level 35 weapons and 1,000 sets of level 30 armors are sold to us at half the market price. You know that there is a shortage of intermediate weapons and equipment in the market right now. "
"Stop it." When Huangfu Chaobo heard that he started to talk non-stop, he stopped him in time and said, "It's not like I don't want you to go. Why don't you tell me that you are short of equipment?" Okay? Let’s go to Xiaojing later and ask her to approve 10,000 weapons and 2,000 sets of armor for you, and the price will be three cents per market price, okay?”
"That's great. Our craftsmen are not good enough to build intermediate equipment, so now there is a shortage of intermediate equipment. By the way, boss, there is one more thing. We want to purchase a few cargo ships. Can you help us get it from Han Fu? Buy a few."
When Huangfu Chaobo heard this, he shook his head and said, "I can help you buy it, but do you have so many skilled sailors to sail the boat?" Seeing Zhao Zilong preparing to fight, he immediately said: "Don't take my chances, I'm not good enough now." The army doesn’t have enough sailors and soldiers, so you have to find them yourself.”
When Zhao Zilong heard this, he was suddenly discouraged.
Seeing this situation, Huangfu Chaobo said: "It's not impossible. You can buy a few smaller boats from my shipyard first, recruit some first and practice them first, and then think about becoming a big fat man in one bite."
Zhao Zilong heard this and agreed, so he nodded. Then the two chatted about other things and then dispersed. Huangfu Chaobo and Jia Jing went offline and spent a good day in the real world, and then went online to get busy with things in the game.
After returning to the game, Huang Zhong's army had already set off, and Lou Gui's negotiations with Xiake were almost complete. Three ore-hunting craftsmen from Xiake Town had also arrived in Luoyang City. Tian Feng immediately sent a group of soldiers and several Craftsmen and officials accompanied the three of them to search for various mineral deposits in the mountains around Luoyang.
Luonan Town has also bought 500 rhubarb crossbows, 1,000 pot crossbows, 1,000 war horses, 200 good horses and 10 fine horses from Luoyang City. They are training soldiers and horses while preparing for the expedition after the new year. Prepare. Huangfu Chaobo found it very strange that Luonan Town of Xiake was so rich. After thinking about it later, he probably robbed Luoyang and surrounding villages and towns later in the battle, so it was not surprising.
It is already October, and Huangfu Chaobo does not dare to delay any longer. Taking advantage of the fact that the Xianbei army has been repelled by Gongsun Zan, and it is already winter, he can buy Longhua Town a few months of development time, at least The defense facilities after the upgrade can be quite complete. After gathering everyone and confirming some matters, Huangfu Chaobo set off for Longhua.
This time when going to Longhua, apart from Dian Wei, the guard general, there were only ten Wudu and ten rangers around him, plus Zhang Zan and Han Xian who were going to help Xiaowen and their Laoting Town. , they will stay in Laoting for one to two years until Laoting is upgraded to a territory above the level of a small town.
In the future, Leting will be the most important link on the Huangfu Chaobo transportation line between Luoyang and Longhua, so this place must be firmly in the hands of its own people. Of course, another person traveling is Jia Jing. The group of people rode ordinary war horses, crossed the river and rushed to Huai County, and then headed northeast to Yecheng, the seat of Jizhou.
Of course, when passing Dangyin City on the way, Huangfu Chaobo still had to go into the city. For Mu Shun, the Danyin guard, he, the lord, had to meet and comfort him. Another point is that Mu Shun has 20,000 soldiers in his hands, which is an unstable factor for Huangfu Chaobo.
Fortunately, Mu Shun was also a sensible person. He respectfully welcomed Huangfu Chaobo and his entourage into the city. Before Huangfu Chaobo mentioned the matter of military strength, he pointed out that his abilities were limited and he was not qualified to lead an army of 20,000. Please ask Huangfu. Chaobo transferred him back to Luoyang and sent another general to come and play Yin.
Huangfu Chaobo didn't say much. He just told him the adjustment plan announced in Luoyang City some time ago, and then ordered him to be appointed as the General of Pingyang Zhongling. It is said that this is already very good in the entire Sizhou Army. You must know that he is just a new recruit. If it were not to appease the Hanoi generals and local officials, and he also led 20,000 troops, Huangfu Chaobo would really be reluctant to give him such a big official.
At the same time, considering the need for his Dangyin to be ready to support Han Fu's Jizhou, he decided to keep 10,000 troops in Dangyin, including one school of fighting soldiers and one school of garrison soldiers, and the other troops and horses were transferred back to Huai County.
Mu Shun was still very satisfied with Huangfu Chaobo's decision. Firstly, he knew his own abilities, and he was indeed capable of commanding 20,000 soldiers. Secondly, he also knew very well that with the power of one city, It is impossible to resist the power of a county, let alone oneself or two states.
So he readily completed the selection of soldiers with the help of Dian Wei and Han Xian, and then sent all the remaining 10,000 soldiers back to the county.
After staying in Dangyin for a few days, Huangfu Chaobo went to Yecheng without stopping. For Han Fu, the stronger Huangfu Chaobo was, the more at ease he was. At least now Huangfu Chaobo has not shown a trend of external expansion, and Yuan Shao in Bohai has become his mortal enemy.
In particular, the broken Luoyang actually faced the siege of 200,000 princes and turned defeat into victory in the end, and captured countless captives, which made the officers and generals of Jizhou have a better understanding of Huangfu Chaobo's strength, so Han Fu always welcomed Huangfu Chaobo's visit.
However, because Huangfu Chaobo and his party came quietly, he did not make too much noise. After being informed by Zhang Zan, he sent someone to invite the party into the state governor's mansion in Yecheng without making a sound, and then invited several of his confidants to accompany them.
