Chapter 149: Cao Cao's General of the Expedition to the West
"Pu Yuan, have you built the equipment I want?"
Lin Xu broke into the mansion of the master craftsman with a big grin, no one dared to stop him, and when he came in, he shouted loudly, as early as when he took out the Xuanyuan pear and began to manufacture it in large quantities, this place became his back garden.
Even those masters wished that he would come every day, because Lin Xu, the noble Immortal Lord, not only did not look down on them in the slightest, but also answered all questions, often bringing them some new forging methods or good inspiration, so when Lin Xu came here to use the resources provided by the imperial court to create what he wanted, no one would be fooled.
"Lord Immortal~"
Hearing Lin Xu's familiar whistling, Pu Yuan hurriedly ran out without even wiping his face.
Looking at Pu Yuan, whose face was covered with coal stains, Lin Xu was speechless for a while
"Anyway, you are also going to be a master, pay attention to the influence of the matter, don't you look like a noble son, like a person, look at yourself! Just came back with a lump of coal? ”
"Yes, yes, Lord Qi Xian has to teach you a lesson."
Pu Yuan touched his head with a sneering face, he also knew that he was a Jiuqing-level figure, and he was like a flower child all day long, which really damaged Lin Xu's face as an immortal, after all, he was from Lin Xu's command, so he didn't pay attention to decency Lin Xu himself had no opinion, but he couldn't stand it, there were always some people who were not afraid of death who liked to use the topic to play, nonsense.
"No more nonsense, what about the equipment I want? You ready? ”
"This~"
Pu Yuan looked embarrassed
"Recently, due to the restructuring of the army, there are too many equipment to be built, and I have given priority to building it for you, but other generals can't do without an explanation, and even His Majesty's side, I'm ~~"
"I don't care about this, I have taught you the way of working on the assembly line, and the simpler forging method has also been made, and the personnel are also at your disposal, everything is given to you, I will give you another half a month, if you can't get what I want, be careful that I clean you up!"
Ignoring Pu Yuan, who looked depressed, Lin Xu turned around and left after speaking, he was about to go to the Western Regions in half a month, and now he has not even selected a general, Yan Liangwen Chou and others have just returned, he is busy selecting generals, how can he have spare time to argue with Pu Yuan.
Pu Yuan has also been very sore recently, and the restructuring of the army has led to a large number of weapons and equipment that need to be rebuilt, and these blades are regarded as life by the soldiers, and even a wave of people will be sent over every day to check the progress of the construction.
And recently, Lin Xu, the big guy, came over and placed an order, Pu Yuan naturally didn't dare to slack off, immediately stopped all the army's equipment reforge, and began to serve the immortals with all his might, and then those ** exploded, some coerced, some tempted, some intimidated, if it weren't for Lin Xu's name behind his back, his craftsman should have been smashed by these **.
....
Cao Cao's mansion
"Mengde! Your chance has come, come with me to the Western Regions and lead an army group! ”
After sitting upright, Lin Xu didn't want to talk nonsense, so he went straight to the point
"Seriously!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he stood up directly with excitement, his eyes were bright, staring at Lin Xu, he can now say that he will have more merit and less work, and all the capable people in the clan have gathered under his command, but now there is no war, everyone has eaten all day and has nothing to do, and from time to time he sends him a few resentful glances, which makes Cao Cao uncomfortable.
After all, people came to take refuge in order to go into battle to kill the enemy and fight for a future, but now they are raised as pigs, and they are angrily reprimanded by Cao Cao, who is so irritable: There is no war, it means that the country and the people are safe, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, where is there so much nonsense, get out of Lao Tzu! So Cao Chun and the others were kicked to the Beida Battalion to reorganize the troops.
"I don't have time to joke with you"
Lin Xu took a sip of tea
"Order four generals to me as soon as possible, remember, to be able to cooperate with each other in battle. Order, take someone to the Getaway to find me"
"Understood"
Cao Cao nodded fiercely, Lin Xu gave him four places, he already took care of him quite a lot, there are more lice and it is not itchy, anyway, it has been nailed to Lin Xu's label as an immortal, and it is good to accept it first.
"May I ask more, there is also an army group, who are you going to let command?"
"Nonsense! Myself, of course! ”
Lin Xu rolled his eyes when he heard this, he is not without generals now, how can this kind of good opportunity not be left to his own people, take advantage of the fact that they can also hold the military power tightly in their hands now, and when they are done in the Western Regions, they can lead them to expand their own small territory, how comfortable.
Like Yan Liang and Wen Chou, after memorizing the thirty-six strategies well, and having the experience of several battles and the guidance of Huangfu Song, they can now barely be regarded as a good general, the kind that can stand alone, as well as Xu Rong, Han Sui, Bian Zhang, Bocai, Zhang Yan, Tai Shici and even Guan Yu, these people are all good generals worth cultivating.
"That~, Sun Jian, Liu Bei~"
Cao Cao was a little embarrassed when he heard this, such a good opportunity to fight only fell on his head, Liu Bei said that Sun Jian is estimated to be able to blow up his hair, this animal is to be a militant, the kind that wants military merit and does not want to die, if this expedition to the Western Regions does not have his share, it will really be blocked every day in the free house to force Lin Xu to let him fight.
"Liu Bei, he has to serve as the county guard of Taishan"
Thinking of Liu Bei, Lin Xu suddenly had a toothache, this is really not that he wants to pit Liu Bei, he is about to say: Liu Bei is not good at leading troops to fight, and the governance of one side is almost the same, but I don't know how Liu Hong listened to it, and then he was appointed as the county guard of Taishan, but it is also Liu Hongnian and the same old Liu family, and authorized Zhang Fei to lead 5,000 troops to follow him, in case the Taishan thieves mutinied. As for the other soldiers and horses, they were transferred to Guan Yu's name by Liu Hong, and they are now training in the Beida Camp and are on standby.
"As for Sun Jian, he has other tasks, conquest or something, and his is indispensable."
If Lin Xu's estimate is correct, Sun Jian will definitely be sent back to Jiangdong by Liu Hong to deal with Shanyue, and the barbarians in Sichuan and Shu are difficult to say, that ghost place is not easy to toss, poisonous insects and miasma or something are very fatal, and the soldiers in the north are easy to die of disobedience in the past, Lin Xu feels that this life has to fall on himself.
However, this is also what he wants, to kill through the Nanban, but he will reach the Baicheng Dynasty, kill the Baixian, and be a rich man with his back to the Han, which is comfortable.
"By the way, I remember your ambition to become the general of my Han Dynasty."
Lin Xu touched his chin, after overturning the Western Regions, he had to find someone to guard it, that place was not simple, now Lin Xu remembered that Rest and Rome should be about to beat out the dog's brains now, and Rest should still be at a disadvantage, it seems that even Cessiphon was beaten down by Rome, and his small life was quite miserable.
And the Western Regions are not far from the battlefields of Anxi and Rome, of course, it is impossible to directly participate in the war, but the necessary deterrence must still be there, otherwise how can I do business there and make a lot of war money? Rest in peace may not have anything else, but if you have money, do you want standard equipment? Do you want a bow and arrows? Or even a strong bandit army to hire it?
And Rome, I have a large number of high-quality silk, porcelain, good quality and low price, as long as you take war horses, iron ore, gold, silver can be traded, Tong Su is not bullied.
"Yes, a certain family is not talented, and I am willing to guard the Han Dynasty for me and conquer the Western Regions!"
Cao Cao was very excited, he heard what Lin Xu meant, this was to let him guard the Western Regions for a long time! He also knows something about what the hell the situation of the Western Regions is, if the extremely hard cement road is built, there is no problem at all to completely bring the Western Regions into the rule of the Han Dynasty, and when the time comes, the Western Regions will be used as a bridgehead, and he Cao Cao will enter the extreme west if he wants to, and he will withdraw if he wants to, and the opportunity to expand the territory will be opened.
"Hmm"
Lin Xu nodded when he heard this
"This is not in a hurry, the Western Regions is not as simple as you imagined, I have a big plan, and I will tell you in detail about the situation of the other two empires when the time comes, you prepare first, when you are busy, the name of the general of the expedition to the west, you have to rely on yourself to fight for it, only if your military achievements are enough, I can take it down for you!"
It is indeed a good choice to put Cao Cao in the Western Regions to defend the town, although he has not yet grown into a complete body, but his military and political potential and talent are undoubted, and the only thing lacking is economic acumen.
But this can't be helped, people with a bit of status these years are ashamed of business, it's a big deal to send him a person who is good at the way of businessmen to help, I think that under the advice and persuasion of his own immortal, he will not despise businessmen too much, and after a large amount of money and materials are in hand, his opinion of businessmen will naturally change.
"No! , Master Xie! ”
Cao Cao bowed to Lin Xu very cautiously, this general of the expedition to the west is not ordinary, not to mention the second-grade level, more importantly, he has the right to conquer the Quartet on behalf of the Han family, this is the right to take the initiative to send troops, and whoever is not pleasing to the eye can pass it is a slap, as long as the spoils of war can be lower than the battle damage, then there is no problem at all.
And with Cao Cao's current age, ability and merits, it is impossible to win this position, even if there is enough merit, there are three veterans of Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun on top, so it must be Lin Xu, the immortal, who is able to make it possible for Cao Cao to get the position of General Zhenxi first, and then stay up for a few years before it is possible to advance to General Zhengxi.
Under normal circumstances, as long as you stay in the position of the general of the four expeditions for more than ten years, the possibility of becoming a general in the future is very high.
