"Poof." Lu Bu brandished the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand and assassinated a Dong Zhuojun soldier who tried to resist. The rest were stunned by the sudden arrival of the other party. In just a moment, the two people just now had their heads on the ground. They didn't have time to react, it was like a divine soldier descending from heaven.

"Ahh Screams followed. Lu Bu once again brandished the weapon in his hand and killed. Dong Zhuojun's soldiers were very slack, their morale was not high, and now suddenly the other party suddenly attacked, and many people couldn't react for a while.

"Bang." "Ping-pong". Sparks fly. A firearm opened fire on Lu Bu. But what he didn't expect was that Lu Bu actually waved the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand to block it. It was very surprising, even shocking.

Because the speed of the bullet is very fast, this is something that no one can do at all, and in the eyes of all the firearms soldiers, it is impossible to block the bullet, because they can't see it clearly with the naked eye, and this is still a careful look, let alone a reaction. Seeing and reacting, it was completely impossible, but this impossible thing was suddenly reflected on Lu Bu, the general who suddenly broke in.

"Run. Bullets can be blocked. In a panic, the firearms soldier dropped his weapon and fled quickly.

When everyone saw it, they were immediately shocked. What else is there to fight here, their biggest reliance is on firearms, and now firearms are so ineffective. They simply can't hold on to the water pass.

"Boom, boom." Outside the city gates, the hastily felt that the cavalry of the state entered and the city gate was lost, which already showed that the situation had reached the worst time. In any case, it is impossible to defend here. More than 1,000 newly surrendered soldiers quickly knelt on the ground and said they had surrendered. Dong Zhuojun scattered and fled. This is how the water pass fell.

And all of this is currently won by Lu Bu and his horse. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to do such a thing.

Luoyang, outside the palace gate.

Dong Zhuo got into his car and drove back to the barracks. Although there are many mansions in Luoyang, he can occupy one, but the problem is that he has not completely controlled Luoyang, and any accidents can occur. The barracks are the best place to keep yourself safe. Therefore, Dong Zhuo still lives in the barracks. This may be an important reason for the insecurity of the big guys. The barracks can provide him with more security.

"My lord. At present, our army lacks too much money, and although the loan has purchased a batch of new arms, if we want to control the situation, we still need elite troops and strong generals, and our army is bound to expand in order to stabilize the current situation. Li Dao said.

"Well, rightfully so. Without soldiers, we will not be able to control the situation in Luoyang, and the world will not listen to us. I think we need at least 100,000 people. Dong Zhuo said.

Li Dao analyzed some of the current situation. Although they controlled Luoyang, some local governors did not obey Dong Zhuo's orders too much. The main thing is that Dong Zhuo is from a local area, a person without any background and power, no one will look down on them at all, in such a situation, the only way to obtain and let others recognize his power is to expand the army and expand his military strength.

"Of course, it is possible to expand the army by 100,000, but my lord, this money is still not enough." Li Dao said in embarrassment.

"The treasury of the imperial court is empty. And Zhang Rang's corruption funds are all owned by the Republican Army, which is extremely unfavorable to us. Li Dao said. At this point, it becomes extremely helpless.

If they want to expand their armaments and warfare, they can, but they don't have money, and how they expand their army, the firearms unit is the easiest place to consume money. But they thought they could make a lot of money, but now, there is nothing. It's not good for them.

"This. I asked the Republican Army what they could do to get them to borrow more money, and I agreed to do so on whatever terms. Dong Zhuo said. Li Dao still felt very worried after hearing this, which meant that Dong Zhuo couldn't take care of anything.

They have to stabilize the situation at the moment, otherwise they can't do anything.

"My lord, I just don't know how harsh the conditions of this loan are. The IRA was a bitter usury merchant. Li Dao said. Dong Zhuo's high-level officials were generally annoyed by the Republican Army's lending, and regarded the lending as usury, because the Republican Army borrowed a lot of money, but always thought of a way to return it to them, so Dong Zhuo borrowed more and more to borrow. There is no way, his taxes simply cannot balance the balance between the trend, and not only that, but there are many things that he has the most difficulty dealing with. For example, the harsh conditions are either to reduce the tax rate, or to be exempt from taxes, or to start a business. In short, there are a lot of different conditions.

"Borrow. Now I can't care about that. Dong Zhuo said so.

"Report." A lieutenant hurried over.

"What?" Li Wei asked.

"Report to the general, Bishui Pass has been captured by the state soldiers." The lieutenant reported for duty.

"Whoosh." Dong Zhuo and Li Dao gasped after hearing this, Bishui Pass was taken by the Bingzhou Army all at once, they came so quickly. Originally, they thought that the other party was still far, far away, but what they didn't expect was that it would come all at once.

"Quick, let Guanzhong mobilize 20,000 soldiers and horses. Speed up to Luoyang, along the way to Luoyang, to establish a line of defense, establish a line of defense. Fast. Dong Zhuo said anxiously after listening. There is no way.

"My lord, that's all there is to it." Li Dao said helplessly. And the state army came too quickly.

Handan.

The securities market is as hot as ever. Recently, major banks have been promoting new mineral securities. This kind of security can extract minerals to the greatest extent, but the price exchange ratio is relatively high, 50 ordinary land bonds can be exchanged for one. However, after getting the mineral bond, it is basically equivalent to having a certain mining right, and ** is the most priority. In short, there are great benefits in terms of mining minerals.

Firefox sat on the couch and read the newspaper. In this era, there are no mobile phones, and in the past, you would know what was going on in the world by swiping your mobile phone. But now, you have to read the newspaper, and there are not many things that can be entertained in the newspaper, and there are no movies in this era, and there is a lack of entertainment.

"You say, shouldn't I buy a few mines? It's also remarkable to have a mine at home. Firefox thought as he leaned back on the couch.

One of Firefox's most profitable projects now is furniture, especially sofas and mattresses, which are completely out of stock. The order has already been booked for next year. In this way, it is still increasing, Firefox is very relaxed and happy, she feels that this furniture business should indeed be done more. And it's a profiteering industry. Unfortunately, the materials are still very lacking, otherwise, use good mahogany, pear blossom wood. It's really good.

But these things are all in the south, just think about it.

As the development of the Republican Army entered a new peak. The demand for minerals has reached a new level of demand, and the demand for coal and iron ore has become more and more large, because these have a lot to do with the construction of the Republican Army, as well as the construction of roads, the Republican Army continues to build all kinds of infrastructure, coupled with the rapid distribution of urbanization, the city's real estate has also developed rapidly.

The demand for new building materials has quickly reached a new peak, which is extremely easy for them to achieve, and if they can't achieve such an effect, the results can be imagined.

The increase in the demand for minerals will inevitably increase the demand for mineral mining, and the Republican Army has opened relevant courses in mineral processing, prospecting, geology, etc., and the salary of geological prospectors is the highest. It is second only to the salary of an IRA weapons researcher, and it is a little higher than that of an engineer. This is because it can bring a lot of profits, and without that, no one will take care of it at all.

Firefox is thinking about all kinds of money-making businesses, mining, selling furniture, whether it is more profitable to do real estate. In the future, it will be troubled times, what does it mean to be troubled times, wars, wars, there will be many, many refugees, so in this way, it is still very profitable to do real estate. Property in many parts of the city is not very expensive, and it is okay to buy some in advance. In the future, it may be a good investment. Thinking of this, Firefox felt that his vision was so powerful.

Lijiazhuang.

"Bishui Pass was lost?" Shang Wu asked Jia Xu in disbelief.

"Yes, our people have just received some information, Dong Zhuo's side is also an economic mobilization of troops for defense, if it weren't for the mobilization of troops, we might not know about such a situation." Jia Xu said.

"So, here's a good opportunity. As long as we are given a certain amount of time, we can win big, big wins. Is that right? Shang Wu asked.

"Theoretically, that's true, but it's not necessarily a powerful situation for us. After all, our current traffic situation is not up to that level. Jia Xu said. Trade and transportation have a lot to do with it, Luoyang is good, but the traffic can't be opened all of a sudden, and they can't do anything about it.

"There's no need to rush this, I think, there will be opportunities soon, and it's not a difficult thing for us." Shang Wu said.

"Well, there's one more thing, and it's an arms trade order. This order came from Yuan Shu, however, he was in Yangzhou. Jia Xu said.

"It's a good thing to have an arms order." Shang Wu nodded.

"But in Yangzhou, we don't have a transportation line to get there, and the transportation of goods is too difficult." Jia Xu said.

Shang Wu also felt embarrassed after hearing this.
