Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 318
Xun You pondered for a moment, then said: "Compared with Cao Cao, Liu Bei now has insufficient troops and horses. The only generals available to him are Guan Yu and Zhang Chao, and his advisors are Chen Gong's tricks. They are indeed no match for Cao Cao."

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "Now that Liu Bei has lost the opportunity, it is probably impossible for him to defeat Cao Cao, but it is not impossible for him to support Cao Cao."

Looking at Jia Xu's unhurried look, Zhao Qian felt a little anxious, so he asked again: "Wen He, please tell me."

"There are not enough soldiers and horses, and the talents are not as good as Cao Cao. We can only find a way from the equipment of the troops." Jia Xu said lightly.

Zhao Qian frowned, then his eyes lit up, and said, "The meaning of Wenhe refers to the iron that Si Jin Zhonglang used to refine Han Ji?"

Jia Xu nodded and said, "That's right, the iron made by General Han is of higher quality than the iron currently used, the blades made from it are sharper, and the armor pieces are stronger. Although Liu Bei can't change the result, it will definitely increase the combat effectiveness of Liu Bei's army and allow him to support him for a longer period of time."

"Wouldn't that be cheap?" Zhang Fei said dissatisfied.

Zhao Qian laughed and said, "Don't worry about Yide, we can sell it to him at a high price. Now that he is facing the powerful Cao Cao, he can beat him hard."

Xun You frowned, and said, "My lord's method, I'm sorry you don't agree with it."

"Oh? Why is that?" Zhao Qian raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xun You bowed his hands and said: "Selling Liu Bei's equipment made of fine iron can certainly improve Liu Bei's combat effectiveness. However, after the battle in Yanzhou is over, this batch of equipment will definitely fall into the hands of other princes, either Cao Cao or Yuan Shao. In the future, when facing the enemy on the battlefield, if our soldiers face the equipment made of fine iron, wouldn't the casualties increase? This is drinking poison to quench thirst."

Zhao Qian nodded, smiled slightly, turned to Guo Jia, and asked, "What does Feng Xiao think about this?"

Guo Jia chuckled, and said: "Since my lord has this idea, I must have my own reasons, and I will let everyone listen to it."

Zhao Qian shook his head angrily, and said: "To be honest, the refined iron made by General Han has several grades of quality, and the ones I sold to Liu Bei are of that low grade. Even if one day, those equipments reach the enemy In the hands, it is still not enough to look at our soldiers."

"Is that true?" Xun You asked with some uneasiness.

Zhao Qian nodded and said, "Don't worry, Gongda, how can I make fun of the lives of my soldiers?"

"Since that's the case, then Wenhe's plan is fine." Xun You nodded and said.

Zhao Qian flicked his clothes and said, "Since Wen He proposed this matter, Wen He will handle it."

"I obey!" Jia Xu replied calmly.

Zhao Qian nodded and said: "The next step is to accept the affairs of the refugees. I will go to see Your Majesty and ask for a decree, in the name of the Son of Heaven, to gather refugees from all directions and rebuild Luoyang and Chang'an!"

"If it can be completed, the Lord's contribution will benefit the future!" Guo Jia laughed.

Zhao Qian waved his hand, but said nothing. He doesn't have the kind of "benefit for thousands of years" now.

The biggest purpose of accepting refugees is to restore the people's livelihood in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Chang'an Sanfu.

In this era, the basis of everything is people. With people, soldiers can be recruited, and food can be cultivated.

With soldiers and food, you have the confidence to face the princes of the world.

On this day, Liu Bei was sitting in his mansion in Puyang City, sighing, the current situation was indeed not optimistic for him.

Now that his power is in the west of Dongjun and Chenliu, Zhang Miao recently sent food and grass, which eased the tense atmosphere.

However, during this period, he also fought a few small battles with Cao Cao, but most of them were defeated.

The second younger brother Guan Yu is still brave, but the soldiers under his command are inexperienced. Although the casualties in the few battles were not large, they were extremely damaging to morale.

At this moment, Chen Gong walked in and shouted: "Uncle Emperor, great joy, great joy!"

Liu Bei looked up at the excited Chen Gong, and asked a little downcast, "What happy event? Then Cao Cao died suddenly?"

"Cao Cao died suddenly?" Hearing Liu Bei's words, Chen Gong was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hands and said, "That's not true, I'm talking about another matter."

"What kind of happy event is that?" Liu Bei then asked.

Chen Gong replied, "Meng Zhuo sent a batch of equipment for 5000 people. This is a great joy."

"Oh." Liu Bei agreed indifferently.

"The equipment of these 5000 people is enough to help us defeat Cao Cao!" Chen Gong said again.

Liu Bei sighed softly and said, "There is no shortage of weapons and equipment in Puyang City. Gongtai and Meng Zhuo are interested."

Seeing Liu Bei's expression, Chen Gong was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Liu Bei didn't know the importance of that batch of equipment.

"Uncle, don't underestimate this batch of equipment, Meng Zhuo paid a lot of money to buy it." Chen Gong continued.

Liu Bei nodded and said, "What's the difference?"

"The weapon is more powerful, and the armor is stronger!" Chen Gong said.

Liu Bei seemed to be interested when he heard this, and said, "Does it really have such an effect?"

Chen Gong nodded and said: "Now the equipment has been transported outside the mansion, if the emperor doesn't believe it, he will know when he goes to see it."

Liu Bei couldn't hinder Chen Gong's face, so he walked out of the mansion together with Chen Gong, met Guan Yu on the way, and they came out together.

Coming to the cart carrying the equipment, Chen Gong pointed to the equipment on the cart and said, "Uncle Emperor, that's all."

Liu Bei looked at it and beckoned, two soldiers stepped forward, unloaded a bundle of steel knives from the cart, and placed them in front of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei picked up a steel knife with one hand, looked at the blade, his eyes lit up, nodded and said, "It's not bad."

Guan Yu also stepped forward to take a look, and said to the sergeant beside him, "Take out your sword!"

The sergeant didn't know why, so he pulled out his saber and handed it to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu took the sergeant's saber, and randomly picked one out of the large swords that were placed together.

The two knives were in the left and right hands, Guan Yu took a deep breath, let out a soft drink, and struck the two knives in the left and right hands together.

when!
With a crisp sound, Guan Yu's own hands were a little numb from the shock, and then he looked at the two knives in his hands.

The steel knife sent by Zhang Miao had only a small gap, but the knife taken from the sergeant had been broken in two!
You know, this is Guan Yu, whose physical strength is not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers, but the steel knife has only a small crack, which shows that it is hard!

"Good saber!" Guan Yu praised, "Brother, if all the soldiers are equipped with this saber, the combat power can be increased by [-]%!"
