Chapter 866: Perfecting Equipment

Zhang Yun no longer had the idea of being opportunistic, so he prepared seriously, the Youzhou army only issued each of their soldiers a helmet and leather armor, and the weapons were all their original guys, only a spear and a horizontal knife, and a personal dagger, and other weapons were gone, not even a pair of bows and arrows.

Zhang Yun had ignored these questions before, and now he realized that he was really not fully prepared, which made him embarrassed, but fortunately, there were still two days, and he could think of a way.

Zhang Yun found Lu Chang, although Lu Chang was his nominal boss, but he actually didn't ask anything, unless Daniel Zhang deliberately made things difficult for Zhang Yun, then he would stand up, otherwise he basically remained silent.

After listening to Zhang Yun's thoughts, Lu Chang smiled bitterly and said: "This is actually Zhu Tao's rule, all Zhuang Ding militias cannot have long-range weapons, including bows and arrows and crossbows, and we just think that shields are not very useful, but they are not banned." ”

"Can you still do it now?" Zhang Yun asked.

Lu Chang had no choice, he thought for a while and said, "This matter must be asked to the head of the family, you come with me!" ”

Lu Chang took Zhang Yun to Lu Mansion, Lu Mansion is a huge mansion in Youzhou City second only to Zhu Tao's Mansion, covering an area of more than 100 acres, during the war, thousands of people from the entire Lu family lived in it.

Zhang Yun saw Lu Jingliang in the back house, Lu Jingliang nodded and said: "These things are indeed not well thought out by us, it is indeed easy to equip bows and crossbows and shields outside the city, but it is not easy in the city, Zhu Tao has always been very strict with weapons." ”

Zhang Yun bowed and said: "This is actually not necessary, if it is very troublesome, forget it." ”

Lu Jingliang pondered for a moment, then wrote a short message and said to Zhang Yun: "There are two ways to get weapons in the city, the first is through buying and selling, you inquire, if you can buy it, then the Lu family will pay for it, if you can't buy it, then go to the person on the letter, he should help." ”

After speaking, he handed the letter to Zhang Yun, Zhang Yun took the letter, and saw that Han Zongyu personally opened it on the letter cover, he didn't know who this Han Zongyu was, and he didn't ask more, so he got up and said goodbye.

Lu Chang sent Zhang Yun out of the mansion, and next to Lu Ran said to his brother Lu Jingliang: "Is it too risky to do this?" ”

Lu Jingliang smiled faintly and said: "Guo Song said to me when he met me, if you win Youyan, Lu Jia's contribution will be great, do you understand the meaning of his words?" ”

Lu Ran thought for a while and said, "Is this a bottom line?" ”

Lu Jingliang nodded and said: "The premise is to win Youyan, so that the Lu family can have a place in Chang'an like the Hedong family and the Guanzhong family, in fact, the King of Jin is also gambling." ”

"Bet on what?" Lu Ran asked puzzled.

"Bet on our Lu family's side."

Lu Jingliang said slowly: "He came to Youzhou this time, and he didn't carry any siege baggage, which means that he pinned his hopes on our Lu family, if our Lu family is willing to assist, he really doesn't need to be able to capture Youzhou, but if he can't capture Youzhou City and withdraw with regret, it means that the Lu family has not tried his best, and our Lu family will not have a status in Chang'an in the future." ”

"Is it that serious?"

Lu Jingliang nodded, "This is a fact, if you don't take risks and don't pay the price, how can the Lu family get status?" ”

Lu Ran sighed, "I'm afraid that when war breaks out in the city, our Lu family will not be spared." ”

"Don't worry about this problem, I told Zhang Yun, he is responsible for protecting the safety of the Lu family."

"In that case, I can't say anything more."

Lu Jingliang sighed lightly and said: "The Lu family never chooses sides, this is the first time, I hope I didn't choose the wrong one!" ”

...........

Zhang Yun found the intelligence point of the Jin Wei Mansion in Youzhou, and the intelligence point in Youzhou is also the Gaosheng Inn, which is actually a bit inappropriate, as long as the intelligence point in one place is seized, the Gaosheng Inn in other places will be suspected.

The Jinwei Mansion also realized this and began to change, for example, the intelligence points in Luoyang, Chengdu and Yangzhou were separated from the Gaosheng Inn.

But Youzhou has not changed, and it is still in the Gaosheng Inn.

The shopkeeper of the Gaosheng Inn is called Zou Pei, a native of Youzhou, with eight subordinates, including an inn and a tavern.

The inn and tavern were closed, and Zhang Yun found Zou Pei in the inn.

"Can you still buy bows and crossbows on the black market?" Zhang Yun asked.

Zou Pei said with a smile: "The military crossbow is impossible, Zhu Tao has been cracking down on the military crossbow and armor, the bow and arrow may be available, but it also depends on the quantity, depending on how much you want, if there are dozens or hundreds, I don't think the problem is big, if you want eight hundred, then it is definitely impossible, I investigated this matter at the beginning of the year, Youzhou swords are the easiest to get, and the most difficult is bows and arrows and crossbows." ”

"What about the shield?" Zhang Yun continued to ask.

Zou Pei still shook his head, "The shield is a cold commodity, no one buys it and no one sells it." ”

Zhang Yun was helpless, so he had to take out the letter and ask, "Who is this Han Zongyu?" ”

Zhang Yun found the intelligence point of the Jin Wei Mansion in Youzhou, and the intelligence point in Youzhou is also the Gaosheng Inn, which is actually a bit inappropriate, as long as the intelligence point in one place is seized, the Gaosheng Inn in other places will be suspected.

"What about the shield?" Zhang Yun continued to ask.

Zou Pei still shook his head, "The shield is a cold commodity, no one buys it and no one sells it." ”

Zhang Yun was helpless, so he had to take out the letter and ask, "Who is this Han Zongyu?" ”

Zou Pei raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "The Lu family actually took out the treasure of the pressure box, Han Zongyu is the Sima of the Yan Wangfu, in charge of the money and materials in the Youyan area, which is equivalent to the position of Zhang Qianyi in Chang'an, he is the son-in-law of the Lu family, originally Taichang Shaoqing, returned to Youzhou after the Jingyuan Mutiny, and was hired by Zhu Tao as the Sima of the Yan Wangfu. ”

Zhang Yun was not interested in Han Zongyu's official position, he only cared about whether he could get the weapon he wanted.

"Can he get a crossbow?" raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "The Lu family actually took out the treasure of the pressure box, Han Zongyu is the Sima of the Yanwang Mansion, in charge of the money and materials in the Youyan region, which is equivalent to the position of Zhang Qianyi in Chang'an, he is Lu Jingliang's son-in-law, originally Taichang Shaoqing, returned to Youzhou after the Jingyuan Mutiny, and was hired by Zhu Tao as the Sima of the Yanwang Mansion. ”

Zhang Yun was not interested in Han Zongyu's official position, he only cared about whether he could get the weapon he wanted.

"Can he get a crossbow?"

"Frankly, I don't know."

Zou Pei smiled bitterly and said: "Although this person is in charge of materials, including military funds, but I heard that Jia Shu is seizing his power, and in the name of combat transfer, he has already controlled most of the materials, so I don't know how much power he can have left?" ”

Zhang Yun nodded silently, no matter what, he had to go find this Han Zongyu.

Zhang Yun did not go with Lu Chang, but went to see Han Zongyu alone.

Han Zongyu is about fifty years old, with a thin face, fair skin, and looks very elegant, his wife is Lu Jingliang's sister, although he is the son-in-law of the Lu family, but he has a bad relationship with Lu Qi, the powerful minister at that time, and was suppressed by Lu Qi several times, and finally only became too often Shaoqing.

Han Zongyu finished reading the letter written to him by the head of the family, although the letter did not mention Zhang Yun's identity, he just hoped that he would help Zhang Yun as much as possible.

He immediately realized that the identity of the man in front of him was very ordinary, it stands to reason that Lu Chang should have come to find him, when will he get the leading captain, and he remembers very clearly that the leading captain of the Lu family's blue-clothed army is called Li Wei, he has seen it twice, and it is definitely not this Li Yun in front of him.

Han Zongyu knew in his heart, and he asked quietly, "How many weapons do you need?" ”

Zhang Yun handed him a list, and Han Zongyu looked at the list, 800 crossbows, 800 crossbow arrows, and 800 shields.

He nodded and said: "This request is not excessive, now the military warehouse is in the hands of Jia Shu, I can't interfere, but I remember that the armory workshop has a batch of old weapons sent for maintenance, which contains military crossbows and shields, crossbow arrows are included in the military crossbow, no need to apply separately, these weapons have been repaired, but they have not been handed over to the military warehouse, I can only lend it to you, the reason is to test the repair effect, according to the regulations, it cannot exceed three days at most." ”

"Three days is enough!" Zhang Yun hurriedly bowed and said.

"Alright! You come with me. ”

Han Zongyu took Zhang Yun to the Youzhou Arsenal, which is the place where Youzhou builds weapons, although Jia Shu took away the power of the military warehouse, but he can't look down on the armory workshop for the time being, his current goal is the money and grain warehouse, so the armory workshop continues to be in charge of Han Zongyu.

A steward led them to the back warehouse, and opened the warehouse door, inside were rows of wooden shelves, which were filled with repaired weapons, and shields of two or three thousand, if the shield was shot through a hole, it was basically invalid, but if the handle was detached, or the hem fell off, these could be repaired.

Zhang Yun picked up a crossbow, pulled it apart hard, and fired it, which was very smooth and well repaired.

Han Zongyu said with a smile: "They borrowed it for three days to try the repair effect, and after three days, if the repair effect is good, it can be transferred to the military treasury." ”

The steward smiled: "No problem, this general can go through the borrowing procedures, but remember to return it before noon the day after tomorrow." ”

Zhang Yun finally solved the problem of insufficient weapons, and each of them was equipped with a crossbow and a shield, and now everything was ready, only the east wind was owed.
