"Prime Minister, Prime Minister..." At this moment, Guo Jia and Xun You ran into the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion, their faces full of excitement and joy.

Cao Cao said suspiciously: "Fengxiao, Gongda, why is this?" ”

"Prime Minister, come with me." Guo Jia trembled with excitement and dragged Cao Cao out.

When he came to a courtyard, Guo Jia held a bottle of fairy wine in his hand and asked, "Does the prime minister know what this is?" ”

"Wine?"

"That's right, it's wine. But now he does more than just drink. Guo Jia was so excited that he ordered someone to bring a torch, stuff a piece of cotton cloth into the mouth of the bottle, and then light it with fire and throw it more than ten meters away.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the bottle exploded, destroying a large area of vegetation and a deep pit appeared in the ground.

Cao Cao was greatly surprised, and said in a trembling voice: "This, this, this... Why did it explode? ”

Guo Jia said excitedly: "The minister doesn't know. But the power of the immortal wine after the explosion can damage the surrounding grass and trees, and it will inevitably hurt the soldiers. ”

"Okay, good....

Cao Cao excitedly walked more than ten meters away, saw the damaged grass and trees, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Heaven will not kill me, heaven will not kill me...!" ”

"Prime Minister, quickly order the purchase of the Immortal Bar, don't let Lu Bu take the lead." Xun Yu Dao.

"That's right."

"If Lu Bu knew the purpose of the immortal wine, he would definitely not sell it again."

Cao Cao said: "This matter is known to a few of us, and it must not be leaked." Immediately send a caravan to Xu Yang and Liangzhou to buy a large amount of immortal wine. Even if you use up all your money, you have to block the market. Then send people to Jingxiang and Hebei to take over all the fairy wine. ”

"No."

Guo Jia and Xun You were ordered to leave.

Back in the lobby, Cao Cao smiled for a long time.

Cheng Yu was also full of joy and said: "We should form a new force to use this weapon specifically and play a key role in future wars." ”

"Hahaha..." Cao Cao was still laughing.

"Prime Minister, what do you think of my suggestion just now?"

Cao Cao: "Hahaha..." ”

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister..." Cheng Yu felt that something was wrong. stepped forward and shook Cao Cao a few times.

Cao Cao came back to his senses: "Zhongde, we are going to be strong!" ”

Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Cao said: "Immediately sent an order to form a special force, which is called the Shenji Battalion (a mechanized force like divine help)." Change our Thunderbolt chariot to about two meters tall and use it to launch wine cans. If you think about it, there is more wine in the jar than in the bottle, and after the explosion, it is more powerful. After the Thunderbolt chariot was made smaller, although it could not throw boulders, it would definitely have no problem throwing wine cans. I estimate that its range should be more than 800 meters. In the future, whether it is siege warfare or field warfare, it can play a great role. ”

"Then order the ceramics workshop to fire wine bottles that are easy to hold and throw by hand, and let the soldiers attack from afar with Thunderbolt chariots at each engagement, and then attack at close range with wine bottles, and then engage the enemy hand-to-hand combat..."

The more Cao Cao spoke, the more excited he became, and he couldn't stop it at all.

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Cheng Yu asked, "How many people should be formed in our Shenji Battalion?" ”

"For the time being, the establishment of 20,000 people will be commanded by Xu Huang."

"No."

The explosion of the wine bottle was discovered by Guo Jia and Xun You, and the news was blocked by Cao Cao, and even Xun Yu didn't know about it.

The so-called pervasive shadow cannot be known in time.

On this day, in the Shouchun Thorn Mansion, Pan Jinlian mentioned to Lu Bu that the amount of immortal wine sold far exceeded before.

"It's a good thing that demand outstrips supply, why don't you seem to be happy?" Lu Bu asked.

Pan Jinlian said: "I'm just curious, why the number of people buying immortal wine has suddenly increased. Is it to stock up and sell it at a high price? But no matter how much immortal wine is hoarded, it can't suppress us. Merchants know this very well, so all along, our prices are the standard. But this time... ”

Lu Bu smiled: "Don't think about it so much, people are willing to buy it, let's sell it." ”

"I'm going to raise the price of wine and see how they react. If demand is still in short supply, then this thing is very strange... ”

"Whatever you want."

Lu Bu didn't think about it that much. All his energy now is focused on the training of the new army. It is by no means an overnight task to train 20,000 ancient people into modern troops.

South Campus Field.

Xu Shu led the members of the Military Academy to report to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu sat in the tent of the Chinese army, holding dozens of booklets similar to the folds. There are a lot of light blue military uniforms, war knives, horse whips, daggers, and short guns newly made by the Academy of Science and Technology.

Lu Budao: "These military uniforms are different from soldiers. Only the rank of battalion commander and above is eligible to wear it. ”

"This is the letter of appointment." Lu Bu shook the booklet in his hand and said, "With him in hand, you can command the army." ”

Seeing the brand-new military uniforms and letters of appointment, everyone present was very excited.

Lu Bu opened a booklet and read: "Xu Shu is hereby appointed as the commander of the major general and the commander of the First Army. ”

"Thank you, Lord."

Xu Shu stepped forward, took the letter of appointment, and received a set of equipment from the side.

"Cao Xing is hereby appointed as the commander of the first division and promoted to the rank of major."

"Thank you, Lord."

Cao Xing was so excited that he was about to cry, so he hurriedly walked over and carefully took the appointment letter.

"Song Xian is hereby appointed as the commander of the 1st Brigade and promoted to the rank of major."

"Thank you, Lord."

Although he was only a brigade commander, Song Xian was still very happy. Because of the comprehensive military exploits of more than ten years, they are indeed inferior to Cao Xing, and when he studied at the Military Academy, his grades were worse than Cao Xing. Cao Xing won the position of division commander, and he was very convinced.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Bu distributed dozens of appointment letters.

Xu Shu served as the commander and concurrently served as the commander of the First Army.

Cao Xing served as the commander of the First Division.

Song Xian served as the commander of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division.

Wei continued to serve as the commander of the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division.

Cheng Lian served as the commander of the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Division.

Hao Meng served as the commander of the Independent Brigade.

Zang Ba served as the commander of the 13th Regiment (cavalry).

Hou Cheng served as the commander of the 14th Regiment (cavalry).

(Note: The establishment of regiments and above is numbered in order, the first division has nine regiments, the independent brigade has three regiments, and when it comes to the cavalry regiments of Zang Ba and Hou Cheng, it happens to be the 13th and 14th regiments.) ）

In addition to these, there are also the 15th Artillery Regiment, the 16th Regiment directly under it, and the Guard Battalion of the Military Headquarters of the First Army, which are under the direct command of the Military Department.

The generals who served were all the people with the best grades in the military academy and who were most valued and trusted by Xu Shu...

"From now on, you must train your soldiers well and master the use of small assault rifles, large assault rifles, and red coat cannons. The cavalry regiments of Zang Ba and Hou Cheng had to practice equestrian skills hard, so that they could advance and retreat as quickly as the wind and fire with a gun in one hand. After a while, there will be a large number of grenades, which will be distributed to you, each soldier will be equipped with five, wrapped around his waist, and lit with a fire breaker when he uses it, and plan the time when the fuse will burn out, and throw it at the enemy, preferably on the top of the enemy's head, this skill can not be learned in a day or two, but I believe that you will be able to do it. ”

"Rest assured, the lord will not disgrace his life!" Everyone replied excitedly.
