Chapter 364: The New Deputy Commander of the Dragon Guard
Wu Meiniang and Li Junxian's property, I'm afraid they don't even have 50,000, how can they get 5 million?
"Huanhuan, aren't you a strong man?"
"Why is it so difficult to be strong?"
Zhen Huan said: "If we also pay for buying a house and decorating, will we still use someone else to manage the hotel?" ”
"Uh..."
"Actually... We can't take out five million. Mi Yue said.
Wu Meiniang's face was frustrated.
Lu Bu returned the paper (contract) to Wu Meiniang and said, "Put your handprint." ”
"Huh? But I don't have that much money... ”
"I have."
Wu Meiniang was stunned, did not refuse Lu Bu's help, and responded: "Thank you." ”
She dipped her thumb in the red clay and covered it with paper.
In this way, the cooperation with Zhen Miliang Restaurant can be regarded as officially reached. However, this piece of paper has to be taken to Ling Yin's Mansion to be stamped before it can be counted. Merely reaching an agreement in private is not protected by law.
Zhen Huan and Mi Yue were shocked: "Husband, do you want to pay for her?" ”
"yes, what's wrong?"
"The husband is really generous."
Both of them were speculating in their hearts, what is the relationship between Wu Meiniang and Lu Bu, and they are willing to take out even five million money, just for the favor of the Pomeranians?
Lu Bu observed their words, understood their thoughts, and said with a smile: "You two don't think crookedly, Wu Meiniang is my friend and already has a husband." I'm just here to help. ”
..........
After dealing with Wu Meiniang's affairs.
Wu Meiniang stayed behind to discuss further with Zhen Huan and Mi Yue.
Lu Bu, Li Yuanba, and Li Cunxiao went home.
Of the fourteen famous generals who were summoned to the end of the Han Dynasty, twelve had already surrendered, and Xu Da and Chang Yuchun were left, who were also captured by Mu Guiying. However, now that Mu Guiying has not returned to Shouchun City, there is no need to rush to recruit him.
Yanzhou.
Xudu Wei Palace.
Xun Yu brought a newspaper and handed it to Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao saw it, he was extremely angry and asked, "Who leaked the news?" ”
"It's supposed to be the caravan."
Xun Yu replied: "Because at that time, there was a person with strong martial arts who ran away and went to Shouchun City. Our people searched for two days in Shouchun City and found that they were protected by Lu Bu's Dragon Guards. ”
Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "I must find someone who is good at writing, write an article, and refute him!" ”
"It's... I'm afraid not. ”
"Why?"
Xun Yu wanted to speak and stopped.
Cao Cao understood, waved his hand, and said, "You don't need to say it." I know that robbing the tomb is wrong, and it will make the world scold, but if it is not, not only will I not be able to raise an army, but I am afraid that I will not even be able to repay the debt owed to Lu Bu. ”
"If Wen Ruo has always known the general situation, can he know the severity?"
"Yes, I understand."
Xun Yu took the newspaper and said, "Then what should I do about this matter?" ”
"Let it be."
Xun Yu nodded and said, "There is one more thing. In our careful work in Qingzhou, we found that Yuan Shao had a powerful crossbow arrow that could shoot 400 steps. The minister asked for orders to build this kind of crossbow arrow and form an elite army. ”
"Four hundred steps? You're not kidding, are you? ”
Cao Cao couldn't help but be surprised. An ordinary bow and arrow can shoot only sixty or seventy paces, but a strong one can shoot a hundred steps. I've never heard of anyone shooting at 400 paces. It's almost time to catch up with the Thunderbolt Chariot.
Xun Yu said: "According to the report, this kind of crossbow arrow is called a three-bow strong crossbow, as long as the mechanism is pulled, it can instantly launch three short arrows and kill the enemy four hundred steps away. It can even penetrate leather armor. ”
Hiss...
Cao Cao gasped and asked, "How much has Yuan Shao built?" ”
"It is said that there are 100,000!"
"Hurry up and order the Yanzhou Armory Workshop to make every effort to build a three-bow strong crossbow, and build as many as you can. It's up to you to supervise it yourself. ”
"Yes."
Cao Cao was surprised at the same time, but also a little happy. With this kind of crossbow arrow, you can fight against Lu Bu's new army. At least it will not be like Zhuge Liang, who has 600,000 male soldiers and is defeated in Jingzhou.
this day.
In the Science and Technology Institute of Shouchun City, Ma Jun developed a perfect version of the steam engine. The weight of the fuselage is about one ton (two thousand catties), which is equivalent to the red-coat cannon developed by the old rules.
Lu Bu rushed to the Institute of Science and Technology to witness the birth of a miracle.
Ma Jun and Chen Gui led Lu Bu to the courtyard at the back, and saw a huge guy sitting in the middle of the courtyard.
Ma Jun stammered: "This... This is.... ”
"Let's let the stereotypes explain." Lu Bu interrupted Ma Jun's words.
"Uh..."
Ma Jun closed his mouth depressedly.
Chen Gui explained: "This is the latest development of the steam engine, the fuselage weighs 2,100 catties, as long as you fill the steam engine with water, boil the water." The air flow is poured into the container next to it, and the jar is then connected to other motorized devices to drive the machine. ”
At this time, he asked the workers of the Institute of Science and Technology to connect the pipe of the steam engine to the large pumping machine in the distance. After the water is boiled, the sluice gate is pressed down, and the air flow rushes over quickly, driving the pump.
"Good!"
Lu Bu sighed and said, "I really didn't see the wrong person. Ma Jun, you have made another great contribution! ”
"Thanks... Thank you. ”
Ma Jun replied with a fist.
Lu Bu circled the steam engine twice, looked carefully, and said, "You should think about how to use the steam engine for practical purposes now." For example, use him to drive chariots and warships. Can it be done? ”
"Yes, now... Right now. Ma Jun said: "Only... Just set the... Tanks and ships, slightly... With a little change, you can use... Driven by a steam engine. ”
"Is that okay?"
"Yes!" Ma Jun said with certainty.
"Okay, you can now go about modifying the eight-horse chariot and replace the eight horses with your steam engine. I hope to see results within a month. ”
"Don't worry, my lord... The minister must do it well. ”
Although the steam engine developed by Ma Jun cannot be compared with modern ones, as long as it can drive chariots and warships, it can enhance the strength of the army. It can also be regarded as a breakthrough achievement of the Academy of Science and Technology.
At the beginning of September of the seventh year of Jian'an.
Mu Guiying's 10,000 Danyang soldiers (including 5,000 recruits) finally returned to Shouchun City.
Lu Bu couldn't wait to meet the captured Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.
The effect of persuasion is very good.
Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, as captured bandits, did not have the arrogance of famous generals at all.
As soon as Lu Bu expressed his intentions, he immediately surrendered.
Lu Bu appointed the two of them as lieutenants and temporarily served under Mu Guiying.
After more than a month of recuperation, Li Junxian's injuries were almost healed, and he went to the Assassin's Mansion to report to Lu Bu.
In the main hall.
Lu Bu said: "I'm going to let you take over Zhang Feng's position, what do you think?" ”
"General Zhang Feng? Deputy Commander of the Dragon Guard? ”
"Yes."
Li Junxian never expected that Lu Bu trusted him so much. Immediately clenched his fists and said: "Although the last general is full of liver and brains, it is difficult to repay the kindness of the lord." May you lead the Dragon Guard and protect the lord! ”
"Okay."
Lu Bu handed him the talisman: "This is the talisman of the Dragon Guard, which has always been in charge of Zhang Feng, and now it is handed over to you." ”
"Shouldn't the talisman be in charge of General Li Yuanba?" Li Junxian didn't pick it up.
Lu Bu said with a smile: "Do you think Yuanba is suitable for holding the talisman?" He served in the Dragon Guard, but he was just a name. The big and small affairs of the Dragon Guard Army have to be taken care of by the deputy commander. Just pretend he doesn't exist. ”
