Grain and grass Liu Zhang is quite abundant at present, but the soldiers have been training but there is no need to worry. All kinds of economic products are also being produced one after another, and I don't have to worry about logistics. Most of the things produced from steel are not used for military purposes, but are used in production. Most of the gum is also used on tricycles, bicycles, and various small objects.

In this way, it seems that most of his resources are still inclined to people's livelihood and logistics, of course, the army is not unbiased, but relatively speaking, it is a little too little. Probably only the more than 30,000 soldiers of his own Chinese army are fully armed, and excluding these other soldiers, it is just the best configuration of this era.

Of course, for now, eucommia gum plus two layers of thick planks is best. This kind of shield works very well against machetes and spears, but unfortunately these things can't be used in large quantities by themselves. Limited to production and production, many things can only be done slowly, and it takes several years to accumulate.

If he could replace all his army with something made of steel, Liu Zhang also thought. It's a pity that Liu Zhang can only think that without the help of machinery, all iron ore production is difficult. So it seems that I still have to develop a little slower now, and if my pace is too fast, my logistics will easily not be able to keep up with my own death?

"The matter of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao only needs to be paid attention to, when Yuan Shao will send all his troops to the decisive battle, he will notify me. Secondly, the place where they fought was also some distance away from Luoyang, and Yan Yan must be careful when he sent the order. During this period, Cao Cao refused to buy grain and grass, and Yuan Shao should have no shortage there. For these things, Liu Zhang did not plan to intervene now, after all, Yuan Shao's power had not been weakened.

Then Wang Si came out and said: "The spies sent by the lord Cao Cao have already arrested three batches, and the torture has basically been recruited so far. "The details are not suitable for talking.

Liu Zhang frowned, in fact, Liu Zhang had known about this for a long time. It's just that Liu Zhang handed over the matter to Wang Si, and if he was sure that the other party was a spy, then he would be arrested and tortured. If you can counteract, you can do the opposite, and if you can't, close the small black house first.

"Is there a rebellion?" What Cao Cao wanted to investigate, Liu Zhang knew without asking.

Wang Si took out a notebook and looked at it and said: "These spies want to find out the master's textile technology, as well as steel, papermaking, and printing, but it's a pity that they are too obvious." Now these people are all guarded, and there are some spies wandering outside the city, just to get news. ”

Liu Zhang nodded and said, "Pay attention to the movements of the spies, as long as you enter the city and contact our technical craftsmen, they will all be arrested." Of course, we must also be careful that our people are rebelled, and we must be cautious of the loss of technology. "These technologies are actually irrelevant, but this requires Liu Zhang to have the ability to unify, otherwise these technologies are still worth keeping.

Wang Si said that he understood: "There are two spies who rebelled, and the others are still uncertain, can the lord need it?" Wang Si felt that he could put it back, but he didn't know what news these spies would spread when they were put back.

Liu Zhang thought for a while and said, "Bring it up and I'll take a look...... "The ancient spies were the predecessors of the spy, but the means were much worse.

Soon the two men were brought up, and they had a little headache when they looked at Liu Zhang. Is this Cao Cao stupid, not to mention that these two people are obscene, and they are dry and thin. Such an obvious feature, as long as you look at it, you can remember it clearly, how can this be a spy? Anyway, Liu Zhang couldn't help but want to spray Cao Cao when he looked at it.

"I heard you two are spies?" Liu Zhang asked with a smile.

But the two people below were trembling, and Wang Si's methods made them feel scared during this time. These tactics are quite gentle to say, but they just make them feel scared. If it's a knife, they're not afraid, but that kind of gentle means really can't bear it.

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives." The two of them begged for mercy again and again, was that attitude really sincere?

Liu Zhang motioned for them to get up: "It's okay spies, it's not easy for you." When you go back, you tell Cao Cao everything you see and know in Chang'an. Anyway, even if you tell Cao Cao what you have experienced, I don't think it's easy for you to go back. Liu Zhang waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to send them away, saying nothing to these little people.

Two of you, you look at me, I look at you, and you're a little unsure what's going on. But Liu Zhang's attitude didn't seem like he was going to kill him, but he let them go for no reason, and he always felt that something was wrong. But looking at Liu Zhang's appearance, is all this true?

After they went out, Wang Si asked very depressedly: "Although these people have not stolen our key information, they also know a lot of things, wouldn't it be ...... Cao Cao to put them back like this" Wang Si couldn't wait to kill these spies directly.

Liu Zhang smiled and asked, "Who is Cao Cao?" What's his personality like? "Cao Cao's kind of person is very suspicious, I caught these spies and let them go back, which in Cao Cao's opinion, is nine times out of ten instigated. Of course, Cao Cao will not fully believe the news of these spies, nor will he not disbelieve it. But it's a bit difficult since then, what do you believe in? Don't believe those? ”

As Liu Zhang's words fell, they also understood. It's because of suspicious people that these news will make him suspicious, and what's even more excessive is that Liu Zhang is not afraid that he will know, because Yuan Shao is already going to war with him. Even if Cao Cao knew about Liu Zhang's situation here, he could only be secretly vigilant.

Seriously, Cao Cao was really comfortable during this time, and with Guan Yu being such a scumbag general, Cao Cao could wake up with a smile every day. What kind of good wine and food are there for a meal, and the first thing I thought of sending it to Guan Yu was. This made many of Cao Cao's generals have a complaint, a mere general is actually treated so well?

The next day, Cao Cao took a group of generals and prepared to go hunting. Of course, Cao Cao wanted to take the opportunity to have a relationship with Guan Yu, looking at Guan Yu who was late, Cao Cao felt that it was okay, at least someone came: "Why is Yun Chang so late?" ”

Guan Yu arched his hand and said: "The horses are weak and overwhelmed. These words made Cao Cao feel familiar, and when he met Dong Zhuo back then, he said the same thing. Then Dong Zhuo also gave him a horse, but unfortunately Dong Zhuo did not let Cao Cao surrender. Cao Cao is conceited, and he can grace Guan Yu......

"Come, bring my red rabbit horse up......" Cao Cao pointed to the red rabbit horse and said, "This red rabbit horse is Lu Bu's mount, and it will be given to Yun Chang now." "This red rabbit horse is of little use to Cao Cao, so I don't want to be Liu Zhang. What if you run fast on this thing and get ambushed by the enemy?

Guan Yu was shocked and thanked Cao Cao, this horse used to belong to Lu Bu, and now it means that Guan Yu is given to him...... Got on the horse and walked all the way towards the hunting area, which was really fast. For a military general like Guan Yu, this is definitely a big killer.

"Thank you, Gong Ming......" Guan Yu got up and stood on the side, he loved this horse very much, this thing was more affordable than beauties and gold and silver.

Cao Cao was about to say that the hunt had begun, when Xun Yu on the side walked over quickly, leaned over and whispered in Cao Cao's ear: "The spy who went to Liu Zhang has come back and brought important news." Xun Yu was quite happy when he said this, and the news from Liu Zhang seemed to be very interesting.

Cao Cao's heart tightened, and he wanted to go back at this time, but the scene here had already been laid out. In the end, Cao Cao started hunting without intention, and made several mistakes in archery. Since Cao Cao didn't shoot the prey, the others didn't shoot either. At noon, Cao Cao and the others returned in vain, and they were really not in the mood to do these things.

In the end, Cao Cao still left ahead of schedule, and after coming to the hall, Cao Cao called the two spies: "Tell me what you see in Liu Zhang's place?" "For those places in Chang'an, Cao Cao still stays in the memory of the last time he went. Dilapidated, war-torn and barren, and in ......

When Dong Zhuo finally fled Chang'an, there was still a great drought. His Cao Cao's horses were also quite thin because of this, so in Cao Cao's eyes, it would take several years to recover. Even if Liu Zhang has the ability, he must not recover so quickly.

The two spies glanced at each other, and the slightly obscene one said, "The lord Liu Zhang is there...... There are so many different things that we have to talk about for a long time. "Indeed, everything in Chang'an needs to be said too much.

Cao Cao frowned and said, "You say it little by little." Then the tea was served, and Cao Cao was ready to listen.

"My lord, Chang'an is very prosperous. There are people coming and going every day, and there are tens of thousands of merchants in Chang'an every day. The goods that go out of Chang'an in a day are worth 10,000 gold, and the shops there fill the entire street. The ground in Chang'an City is all paved with cement, and it is unusually smooth when you walk on it. "The two spies went from the prosperity of Chang'an, to the gathered businessmen, to Liu Zhang's various arrangements.

Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, in short, the important figures of the Cao Group are all there. From the advent of newspapers, all sorts of incredible workshops, and the advent of imperial examinations. The role of every policy, every different thing, as long as the people of Chang'an can talk about it, it is normal for these spies to know.

These things are very simple, and Cao Cao and the others can understand what they do as soon as they hear it. But what about the core thing? They can't do it at all, the more they listen, the more shocked Cao Cao's heart becomes, the uncomfortable feeling is completely blocked in his heart, he wants to say something but doesn't know what to say, this is probably the legendary uncomfortable. The Cao group is actually very poor, otherwise Cao Cao would not have robbed the tomb to make a fortune. Liu Zhang's affluence simply made Cao Cao drool, especially the kind of grain that yielded hundreds of stones per mu, which made Cao Cao even more surprised.
