Chapter 948: Eight Thousand Iron Armor Breaks the Army

Yecheng, Duke of Wei's Mansion, in the study.

Cao Cao was alone on the desk playing chess. The so-called chess originated in the Warring States period and has been passed down to this day.

Cao Cao single-handedly held two sides, caught and killed, and the confrontation was very fierce.

"Ming Gong, there is news from the southern spies." At this time, Chen Qun walked in from outside and reported.

"Got it?" Cao Cao held a picture in his hand, intending to go down. He asked without looking up. In Cao Cao's opinion, this time things should be very easy.

After all, his spies are extremely experienced, and they are all very good at plotting against enemy generals and seeking intelligence, not to mention those businessmen.

As long as the high-ranking officials and lords get the manufacturing technology of Chu Shu, it is a matter of every second.

"It didn't work out. The spies did act, but after contacting some businessmen one after another, not only did they not get it, but most of them were betrayed to the officials of the Chu State. From Jianghuai to Jiangdong, to Jingzhou, Yizhou, our spies suffered great losses. Chen Qun's face showed a little solemnity, a little wry smile, and said.

"What?" Cao Cao held his hand and wanted to put it down, but when he heard Chen Qun say this, the chess pieces fell from between his hands and fell onto the chessboard. Cao Cao suddenly looked up at Chen Qun and asked in disbelief.

What are you kidding, those such elite spies under his account can't handle a group of businessmen, and they have been unplugged one after another. What the hell is going on.

"Ming Gong heard me right, we failed." The wry smile on Chen Qun's face was even worse, and he said. Cao Cao had never encountered this kind of thing, and neither had he encountered it.

Cao Cao couldn't believe it, and he couldn't believe it.

Businessmen, just a group of businessmen. Actually, actually.

"Aren't merchants all the goods that fall on both sides of the wall? Although our Wei State does not have the upper hand, it still has a strong force, aren't they afraid to do this, and when our Wei State gains the upper hand and destroys the Chu State, will they settle accounts with them? Could it be that the merchants of the Chu State deliberately? Are they all patriots? After a while, Cao Cao calmed down a little and said. The tone is still unbelieving.

"I don't know about this minister." Chen Qun said with a confused look on his face when he heard this. If businessmen are all patriots, then killing Chen Qun doesn't believe it.

But the facts are in front of you, and you can't believe it. Most of those merchants defended the state of Chu and simply betrayed their spies.

It's unconscionable, absolutely unconscionable.

"Unless, they are sure that the state of Chu will be able to raise troops to attack Wei, Liang, and Qin will be under one day." Soon, Cao Cao calmed down and said. But this sentence made Cao Cao even more annoyed.

A group of businessmen, profiteers who have forgotten their righteousness, can dare to talk about the world. thinks that the world must return to Chu. Cao Cao felt that he had never been looked down upon so much in his life.

However, Cao Cao couldn't do anything about that group of merchants, because he was a merchant of Chu and had the protection of Chu. Even if he has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, he kills this group of merchants to vent his anger.

"What's the reaction of the Chu State now?" Cao Cao calmed down his fluctuating thoughts and asked.

"Kou Feng issued an edict for this, strictly ordering the businessmen to leak their technology, otherwise they will be punished." Chen Qun replied.

"It seems that this Chu Shugu will have to wait for some time. A few years, wait for a few years, the defense of the Chu State will not be so strict, and then peep. ”

Cao Cao said.

Cao Cao knew that the spies could only act in secret, and once they were exposed, it would be difficult to threaten them again. Now, not only the spies have suffered great losses, but even those merchants in the Chu State have become frightened birds.

It is simply impossible to get the technology from the businessman. We can only wait.

Cao Yangtian sighed, Chu Shu, the books he valued, he didn't get them, it's true.

After sighing, Cao Cao got up and went to the bookcase next to him and took out a book from it.

The state of Chu exported books to the north, which was very valuable. But it still made those scholars flock to it, and Cao Cao was also a lover of books, so he privately bought a full set of Zhuzi's works.

Cao Cao cherished it.

Touching the cover of a book is like touching a beloved child, but now you can't get it. Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

………………….

Chengdu, in the palace of the king of Chu.

Kou Feng's mood was very relaxed, of course he didn't know Cao Cao's lamentation. But he is also very happy, these days, the affairs of Chu have entered the right track.

The financial investment made the forging of armor very fast. All 8,000 pieces of armor were completed ten days ago and delivered to Chen Da for use.

The dispatch was scheduled for October, and now in August, there are still two months to go. It's enough for the breakers to get used to the armor.

It can be said that everything went smoothly.

The only thing that makes people a little worried is the things in the south, and the natives in the south are not easy to mess with, and this truth used to be very worried. In the case of large-scale businessmen heading south, this fear was verified.

Many of the merchants were no longer familiar with the situation in the south, and although they chose to be guides among the ten countries of the south, they were still attacked by some natives who did not have any civilization.

They refuse to trade.

Under such circumstances, the armies of the Ten Southern Kingdoms and the Chu State quickly attacked, defeated, or slaughtered those tribes. Still, there were some caravans that suffered heavy losses.

This incident made Kou Feng more annoyed. Fortunately, however, some merchants managed to make deals in the south, bringing back countless ivory, gold, jadeite, and other valuables.

It caused a sensation in the entire Chu country. A 200 percent benefit can make people take risks, let alone a 1,000 percent benefit.

According to the information known to Kou Feng, a large number of merchants poured into the south some time ago. This is not just limited to the seventy generals recruited by Kou Feng a few months ago.

It was most of the merchants of the entire Chu State who poured into the south. The big ones have caravans, and the small ones are young men, more than a dozen people, or even several people.

More than 100,000 people went south. The scale is unprecedented.

During the Han Dynasty, there was the Silk Road. But now that the Han Dynasty has withered, there is no way to radiate its power to the entire Western Regions. It was difficult for merchants to move west, into the Western Regions, and further into Europe.

Therefore, Kou Feng did not feel the prosperity brought by the Silk Road. But Kou Feng personally felt the prosperity brought by this golden road in the south.

The treasury of the State of Chu is also increasing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

The more so, though. The more Kou Feng felt the importance of force, and it was really incumbent on him to safeguard the interests of his country. Therefore, Kou Feng ordered Meng Da's army to be divided into ten armies and stationed within a range of more than 1,000 miles.

Carry out protection, requisition.

Maintain this golden road.

"I hope Zhuge Liang, Meng Da won't let Gu down." Kou Feng smiled slightly and said.

"Your Majesty, Chen Dalai, the general of the town army, reported that the eight thousand broken troops have adapted to the armor, please move your majesty to the parade." At this time, a small official walked in from outside and reported it.

"It's finally good."

Kou Feng smiled and said. Then he shook his head and put aside the affairs of the south, after all, it was still the affairs of the Northern Expedition that were more important.

Immediately, Kou Feng got up and walked out of the side hall, drove out of the palace, and went to Chen Da's military camp outside the city.

It was not the first time that Kou Feng had gone out of the city to go to Chen Da's military camp, but it was the first time to observe the formation of a broken army, 8,000 pieces of armor, plus months of training day and night.

The 8,000 broken army must be majestic and high-spirited.

The northern expedition to Yongliang depends on this sharp knife.

On the chariot surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, Kou Feng showed a look of anticipation.

Soon, Chen Da's military camp arrived.

At the gate of the camp, Chen Da led the main generals in the army to greet Kou Feng.

"Meet Your Majesty."

When Kou Feng's chariot approached, Chen Da led the crowd to salute.

"The general of the town army and the generals are exempt." Kou Feng smiled slightly, raised his hand, and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Da once again led the crowd to thank him.

At this time, Kou sealed the carriage and came to the front of Chen Da.

"Take Gu to meet the broken army." Kou Feng and Chen Da don't need to be polite at all, and they don't need to be encircled, so naturally they don't need to greet each other, so Kou Feng said very straightforwardly.

Da Ying made a promise and led the way.

Soon after, Kou Feng came to the outside of the school grounds. At this moment, there are 8,000 broken troops standing in the school grounds, and if you talk about faces, they are no different from a few months ago.

It's that the equipment on the body has changed, from Chu knife and leather armor to Chu knife and armor.

Eight thousand pieces of armor, glittering in the sun. Especially when worn on the body of the broken army, the momentum is really daunting.

On the side, he couldn't feel the momentum of breaking the army, so Kou Feng only glanced at it, and then led Chen Da to the point of general.

On the platform, Kou Feng stood at the front, looking down at the eight thousand broken troops below.

His eyes were full of appreciation, and the eight thousand broken troops below were really much stronger than they were a few months ago. Just stand there, unmoved.

But it condenses a thick aura like a mountain.

That's not the breath that can be formed by simple training. It takes hard training, coupled with being very confident in one's own strength, to be able to form an momentum.

Break the army.

If on that day, Kou Feng and the protons of the ten southern countries boarded the Dianjiang platform together, and what they saw was eight thousand elites, then now is the real broken army.

However, there are only some prototypes.

There is still a gap between the momentum of the 800 broken army. However, Kou Feng was already very satisfied, it was only a few months, and Chen Da had already trained the broken army to this point, and it was already very fast.

"Get moving, let Lone feel the momentum of breaking the army." Kou Feng looked at it for a while, then turned his head to Chen Da with a smile and ordered.

"No."

Chen Da promised, and immediately turned around to convey Kou Feng's order to the guards behind him.

Under the communication of the guards, soon after, the sound of drums sounded in the barracks.

"Knock knock." The drums beat to the sky.

As the earth-shattering drums sounded, Po Jun pulled out the Chu knife on his waist. Then, a loud roar rang out.

"Kill."

For a time, the wind and clouds changed color, and the murderous atmosphere was full of sky.
