"But by the general's arrangement! That's what we're supposed to do! Wei Hong replied respectfully.

"Yes, yes, but the general has to allow my Mi clan to have the qualifications to smelt discarded weapon armor and create a new weapon armor for the Nanyang Army! Otherwise, you can't digest so much scrap metal just by building farm tools! ”

He Xian sat on the ground and the price was first, and Mi Zhen landed and repaid the money later. Identity aside, it's a basic business rule. But the identity is not something that can be put aside, that is, Mi Zhen dares to say that Wei Hong does not dare to negotiate conditions with He Xian like this.

"You want a weapon-making qualification?"

"Yes!" Mi Zhen said unabashedly, "Mi's iron-smelting technology is second to none in Qingxu and other places!" Before Xuzhou was attached to the general, Xuzhou Mu's weapons manufacturing was all in charge of the Mi family...... After the annexation of Xuzhou, the eldest brother stopped all weapon workshops and changed to build civilian agricultural tools. But the demand for civilian manufacturing is too small to even feed all the blacksmith workers......"

The Nanyang Army had strict regulations on the manufacture of weapons, and all ironsmith workshops had to be registered. Especially for the big merchants who owned blacksmith shops in the states, weapon making was always a sensitive topic. In order to avoid suspicion, they have asked their blacksmith shops to transform into agricultural tools, or simply shut down. Because of his close relationship with He Xian, Mi belonged to the former, retaining technicians and workshops, and waiting for the time to obtain the qualification to manufacture weapons. And Wei Hong belongs to the latter. During Cao Cao's reign in Yanzhou, Wei Hong was also Cao Jun's arms supplier. But after Cao Cao fled to Jizhou, Wei Hong shut down his casting and smelting business. Copper coins are important, but so is life.

"Weapon production is an extremely lucrative business, if you can obtain the Nanyang Army's weapon manufacturing qualifications......" Wei Hong's heart jumped wildly.

"Mr. Wei, what do you think?" He Xian turned his head and asked Wei Hongdao.

Thinking of the huge profits in weapon manufacturing, Wei Hongyi gritted his teeth and said: "If the general can grant the grass people the qualification to manufacture weapons, the grass people are willing to only collect the abandoned weapons on the battlefield as compensation!" ”

"It's yours or yours! But if you want to be qualified to manufacture weapons, you will have to be supervised by the military in the future! Mr. Wei, have you thought about it? ”

Wei Hong looked at Mi Zhen, and Mi Zhen smiled and said, "My second brother is now serving in the Nanyang Army!" The East China Sea Mi clan was originally connected to the flesh and blood of the Nanyang Army! Mr. Wei is still better to consider his family's future exhibition! ”

Wei Hong was a little surprised, it turned out that the relationship between the Mi clan and the Nanyang Army was so deep, so to speak......

Wei Hong made up his mind and said: "As long as the general does not give up, the grass people are willing to follow the work of dogs and horses!" ”

"Well said! Raise good food and grass and dispose of the spoils. After this battle, the two of you will get the weapon manufacturing qualification of Nanyang Military Special! ”

"General Xie!" Mi Zhen and Wei Hong thanked each other in unison.

There are professional caravans to transport grain and grass and clean up the battlefield, and their efficiency is much higher than that of ordinary people. In this way, it can not only reduce the labor of the people, promote the development of commerce, but also greatly increase the combat power of the People's Liberation Army and improve the transfer capacity! No, after He Xian received Jia Xu's letter asking for help, he directly entrusted Liyang City to the caravan guards of the two families temporarily. In addition to the hired people, the Mi clan also sent an escort of 3,000 people. Among these 3,000 people, there are many Nanyang soldiers who have retired after being disabled, and their combat effectiveness is much more powerful than that of ordinary bandits and robbers! And the Wei clan also sent an escort of 2,000 people, many of whom were former Cao army soldiers. After the defeat, he was disarmed and returned to the field, and was invited by Wei Hong to be a guard. Of course, these guards were registered with the government.

5,000 caravan guards and 1,000 Fucha soldiers constitute the defense army of Liyang City, and before Gao Shun leads the trapping camp to arrive, they need to defend Liyang City, because the second batch of 100,000 Hu grain and grass has just arrived!

After Wei Hong saw the benefits of the battlefield, he decisively followed Mi Zhen's example and sought another fifty percent of all the grain and grass from Zhang Shiping, and then subcontracted it to the big businessmen who had relations in Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou, and shared wealth!

When He Xian arrived and led the flying cavalry army to the outskirts of Yecheng, Jia Xu had already besieged Yecheng for ten days. Jia Xu besieged but did not attack, and Lu Yi tentatively sent several waves of squads asking for help, all of which were slaughtered by Pang De and the light cavalry. Koi Yi couldn't figure out the depth of the Nanyang Army, and he didn't dare to give up Yecheng's lair, so he could only stick to it honestly. When Yuan Shang went on the expedition, he left 30,000 Jizhou soldiers for Liyi. However, there are still 500,000 people in Yecheng, and if the war is tight, Koji Yi can raise a 100,000-strong cannon fodder team at any time to help defend the city. There is no shortage of water in the city, the only problem is food and grass. 500,000 people consume a lot of grain and grass every day, and Yuan Shang took a lot of it with him when he went on the expedition, and the massive amount of grain and grass accumulated during Yuan Shao's period has dropped significantly. Koji is conservatively estimated that he can only hold out for about three months. If Yuan Shang's army can't return to Yecheng within three months...... Koji must prepare for the worst.

Outside Yecheng, in the camp of the Nanyang Army, Jia Xu presented a secret letter to He Xian, who was in the dust, without a signature on the cover.

After He Xian opened it, he looked at it at a glance, and finally understood the reason why Jia Xu sent troops in lightning! This letter is a letter for help written by Yuan Tan himself and signed by Lu Bu! In the letter, Yuan Tan said that as long as He Xian could help him defeat Yuan Shang and inherit Yuan Shao's family business and official position (Yuan Shao was the general of the chariot cavalry and the pastor of Jizhou during his lifetime), he would surrender to the Nanyang army. Yuan Tan, a loser, was willing to surrender, and He Xian was not surprised at all. What He Xian didn't expect was that Lu Bu, who had been stubborn for more than ten years, would also agree to the proposal to surrender.

"How did Lu Fengxian change his sex?" He Xian said in disbelief.

"Because Liu Biao is dead!" Jia Xu took out another secret letter from the desk and handed it to He Xian. This letter came from Liaodong and was sent to Jia Xu by Zhen Dao through a caravan.

Three months ago, Liu Biao died of illness. Chen Gong once again advised Lü Bu to follow the general trend and surrender to the Han Emperor. ”

As soon as Liu Biao died, the biggest factor preventing Lü Bu from surrendering disappeared. Does Lu Bu have backbone? Yes. But what Lu Bu values more is interests. Previously, the princes fought and divided the place, and Lu Bu was also eager to compete in the Central Plains, so it was the most advantageous choice to stand on his own. But after years of fighting, Lu Bu has been defeated repeatedly. The cruel reality made Lu Bu recognize his strength, and finally defected to Yuan Shao and stationed in Youbeiping, which was a last resort. At the same time, Lu Bu may not have the intention of taking chances, wanting to sit back and watch He, Yuan, and Cao fight each other, and he can take the opportunity to see the opportunity to expand his sphere of influence. What I didn't expect was that the Yuan Cao coalition army was so unbeaten, and in the first battle of Zhongmu, it was beaten by the Nanyang army and lost its armor. Cao Cao was directly driven out of the bases in Yan and Qing Prefectures and took refuge in the plains. Yuan Shao was even more angry, and he was dying. The general trend of the world is going in the favorable direction of the Nanyang Army, and Lu Bu has to reconsider his future. Blindly fighting against it is not an advantageous option.
