Chapter 580: Homecoming
A gift from Zuo Ci. It's actually an architectural drawing whose purpose has been unknown to Ah Niu!
"This ...... Zuo Ci Xianweng, dare to ask what this architectural drawing is for? Ah Niu already has one in his hand, but he doesn't know what it's used for! A certain city lord asked honestly.
Yu Ji was a little stunned, and said with great joy: "You have already obtained the architectural drawings, is this true?" In that case, you can return this picture to me, anyway, you don't know how to use it, or I will pass on your skills as compensation? ”
Eating the meat in his mouth, Ah Niu naturally won't spit it out, thinking of Yu Ji's appearance of a little fleshy pain when he gave himself a drawing just now, if a certain city lord still doesn't understand that what he is holding in his hand is a good thing, he can only say that he is stupid!
As for the compensation plan proposed by Yu Ji, Ah Niu directly ignored it, why does a leader have so many skills? With teleportation, Ah Niu does not have too high a pursuit in terms of personal skills.
"I was joking just now, and it's no wonder that the fairy is not strange. Since Xian Weng sent me such a drawing that I don't know what to say, even if it is really useless, Ah Niu can only continue to be not, no need to change it, no need to change it! A certain city lord said as he quickly put away the architectural drawings. His eyes were still staring at Yu Ji vigilantly, as if he might be retracted by Yu Ji a few seconds later.
Yu Ji shook his head helplessly, it was no problem to meet such a rogue immortal, but Yu Ji never told Ah Niu about the use of the architectural drawings, which couldn't help but make Ah Niu depressed.
Produced by immortals, it must be extraordinary, you must know that Ah Niu has also dealt with Zuo Ci a little bit because of Pang Tong before. On the night of the full moon, Zuo Ci and Mr. Yuejing faced off at sea, and Pang Tong stroked the qin, and as a result, Ah Niu obtained the life-saving skill "teleportation".
In addition, Zuo Ci also gave away two "gadgets" - "Manual for the Manufacture of the Career Transfer Order" and "Architectural Drawings of the Nine Shadows Abyss". Although the value of the Crafting Manual has been greatly reduced after the system update, it played a crucial role in Feng Xiang's early flight in the game, and it is still wielding residual heat to this day!
The preciousness of the architectural drawings of the Nine Shadows Abyss naturally does not need to be said, although the Phoenix Feather is required as a prerequisite, but the Nine Shadows Abyss is still a heaven-defying building.
The first two gifts were extraordinary, how could the small gift given by Zuo Ci this time be chicken ribs? Ah Niu couldn't help but be more curious about the real purpose of architectural drawings.
"You must find a way to decipher the secrets of architectural drawings, definitely!"
It is not easy to solve this mystery, at least there is nothing Fengxiang City can do about this matter, and even a wise man like Pang Tong is helpless, but Ah Niu believes that it is only a matter of time before he finds out the truth. In fact, now a certain city lord already has the best person in his mind to solve this question-the girl in green!
"Since that chick named Hou Ying is a disciple of Yu Ji Xianweng, she must know the inside story. Even if she doesn't know now, as long as she is willing to be coquettish in front of those old men, the fairy will have to disarm and surrender! Thinking of this, Ah Niu couldn't help laughing, although he didn't stay on the fairy mountain for long, he still had a deep understanding of the influence of Hou Ying, the girl in green.
"That chick is so helpful to us. Obviously, it's not because of my face and my eldest brother, but because of Zilong, which can be seen from the fact that she pestered her master Yu Ji to give Xiaoxue a neon feather coat, which is a rare treasure. If it weren't for Nanhua and Zuo Ci insisting that the girl in green live in Xianshan for a while longer, I'm afraid Hou Ying would have come to Fengxiang with Wang Yue and others on the Tengjiao.
Ah Niu still remembers that when he and the others said goodbye, Hou Ying, the girl in green, pretended to be reserved and let herself pass the word, "Annoying Ah Niu City Lord and Wang Yue Daxia will tell General Zhao Zilong when they go back, he still owes me a game, don't forget it!" ”
Ah Niu and Wang Yue glanced at each other at that time, and they both laughed, "Zilong has a heavy promise, and he will never forget it." Even if he really forgets, we will force him to remember, Miss Hou is relieved. ”
Leaving Qixing Town and returning to the main city, Ah Niu didn't have time to sit down, the communication bracelet had already lit up, and when he saw that it was a fat dragon baby, Ah Niu immediately connected it. The fat dragon baby in the communication bracelet is in good spirits, and it seems that after the Montenegrin army moved to Youzhou, life is not as difficult as it is in Jizhou.
"I want to make a deal with you." Fat Dragon Baby said bluntly.
"Have you made money in Youzhou recently?"
Fat Dragon Baby smiled bitterly, "Although Youzhou is rich, and the life of the Black Mountain Army is a little better, it is still far from wealth or something." Recently, the shape of Youzhou is very tense, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, the two major warlords, are preparing for war, and even Gongsun Du of Liaodong seems to have the intention to get a piece of the pie, the conflict between the ethnic minorities in the north and the Beiping army is becoming increasingly intensified, seeing that the big war is imminent, I have to find a way to strengthen the armament, so as not to be caught off guard by then. ”
Ah Niu's heart moved, the fat dragon baby was in Youzhou, and he had a lot of say about the recent trend of Youzhou, Ah Niu didn't expect the situation in Youzhou to be so chaotic. Thinking of Qianluo, who had been left aside by his own excuses, Ah Niu couldn't help but have a big head. "Shouldn't he ask me to send troops to Youzhou to help him fight with Mr. Gongsun Zhan?"
It is precisely because of this concern that Ah Niu has been politely refusing to meet with Qianluo on the grounds of "just returning to the territory and busy affairs" in the past few days, but this can only be an expedient measure, and he can't hide from the fifteenth day of the first month, and what the final result is, Feng Xiang always needs to face it.
"Is it still according to the rules?"
"Well, it's still the old rule, people for supplies!"
Ah Niu frowned, "Say, how many more rhubarb crossbows do you need?" If the transaction volume is too large, it may be a little troublesome, and my production here has not stopped, and it can only meet the orders placed by others in advance, Fengxiang does not have enough blacksmiths. If you're in a hurry, you may not be able to trade that fast. ”
The fat dragon baby shook his head, "This time it's not about the big yellow crossbow, I want to buy your Wuhuan war horse." ”
"Wuhuan War Horse? You're ready to build the Yellow Turban Cavalry! ”
"Hehe, I have discussed this matter with the dragon god, Youzhou is located in the northern border of the Han Dynasty, only bordering Bingzhou and Jizhou, even if the princes' forces want to encircle and suppress us, there are only so few enemies, and the pressure we need to bear will be greatly reduced; Youzhou is rich in products, that is, there is the convenience of fishing and salt, and there is the benefit of Shanggu Hu City, if we can gain a firm foothold in Youzhou and unify Youzhou, we can use this as a base to fight for hegemony in the south!
In Youzhou, it is difficult to mix without cavalry troops. Whether Gongsun Du, Liu Yu and others have more than 5,000 cavalry, not to mention Gongsun Zhan's 3,000 white horses, those Wuhuan people and Xianbei people are all ethnic groups that grew up on horseback, if I can't form an elite cavalry unit, it is almost impossible to do well in Youzhou.
Therefore, even if we smash the pot and sell iron, we must get an elite cavalry out! ”
Listened to the plan of the fat dragon baby. A certain city lord couldn't help but gasp, the ambition of the fat dragon baby and the dragon god was breathtaking. In all fairness, the Fat Dragon Baby concentrated his efforts to lay a base area for the time being, which was obviously much more clever than before when he turned to the Quartet to make enemies everywhere.
If the fat dragon baby can really defeat Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Du and others in Youzhou and dominate Youzhou, who dares to say that his great cause of the Yellow Turban has no possibility of being realized!
It's very difficult, and there is hope!
"The value of a high-grade Wuhuan war horse on the market is about five times that of a stone rhubarb crossbow, and the Wuhuan war horses sold by Fengxiang are basically imported, so the discount you can give you in terms of price will be less than the rhubarb crossbow you produce, and this is because the delivery location is in Youzhou. Think about it yourself first, cavalry is not so easy to feed. ”
Ah Niu still has a little bit of a financial situation about the fat dragon baby, and the master who is so poor that he can only exchange the population for food and weapons, at most, is to form a cavalry squad of 100 people to pretend.
"Don't think about it, just do it at the price you said."
"How much?"
"Two thousand horses." The fat dragon baby didn't even lift his eyelids.
This number almost didn't make Ah Niu angry, you must know that even if forces like Xuzhou Tao Qian and Mi Chamber of Commerce eat a thousand war horses at a time, the impoverished Yellow Turban Army actually claims to eat two thousand high-grade Wuhuan war horses in one go?
The fat dragon baby smiled embarrassedly and explained: "Since I took away the elite of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army besieged Bohai to relieve the siege for me, the life of the dragon god is very difficult, not only need to face the encirclement and suppression of Qingzhou Thorn Shi Zang Hong, it is said that Yuan Shao also intends to send some troops into Qingzhou to retaliate for our siege of Bohai City, so we have a large number of people in Qingzhou to trade, not only in exchange for valuable materials, but also to find a way for them to survive."
Anyway, Fengxiang City has just been upgraded, so there should be a lot of vacant population places available, hehe. ”
The fat dragon baby is quite helpless. Although he also knew that he could effectively echo the actions of the Montenegrin Army when necessary to maintain a certain strength in Qingzhou, after frequent setbacks in a series of great changes, the current strength of the Yellow Turban Army has been greatly damaged, and it is difficult to maintain enough competitiveness in Qingzhou!
Therefore, it is reasonable for the fat dragon baby to make such a decision at this time.
After learning about the difficulties that the fat dragon baby is facing now, Ah Niu didn't say anything more, and after a long silence, Ah Niu said: "Two thousand war horses is not a small number, I need to confirm with the Wuhuan people first, and then I will give you the news."
For the population used for trading, I hope you can offer as many middle and high craftsmen as possible, especially blacksmiths and professions such as physicians and cooks. An intermediate talent can be converted into four people, and a senior talent can be converted into ten people, only in this way can Fengxiang's production capacity be improved faster, anyway, you are not famous in Youzhou now. Those middle and advanced craftsmen can't do the most in your hands. Ah Niu laughed.
Now Fengxiang City has an amazing talent reserve, and there are a large number of senior talents in almost all basic industries, and it is very easy to cultivate junior talents, which is why Ah Niu does not want junior talents in the Yellow Turban Army.
The fat dragon baby thought for a while, and quickly agreed, and said with a smile, "There is another deal, I don't know if Ah Niu is interested, Gao Lan!" ”
Hearing the word Gao Ran, a certain city lord's eyes suddenly lit up, "Alive?" ”
"Nonsense, will you want to die! Half sold and half given, Gao Ran exchanged for 2,000 sets of one-stone rhubarb crossbows, or 1,400 sets of two-stone rhubarb crossbows, this price is fair! "The smile on the face of the fat dragon baby is very bright, for any lord player, the temptation to subdue a historical figure is hard to resist, let alone a talent like Gao Ran!
One of the four courtyard pillars in Hebei!
Takan, who is known for his loyalty and bravery!
Even Ah Niu, who already has many talents under his command, is a little shocked when he hears the news.
If it weren't for the loyal Gao Ran's vow not to surrender, he scolded every day for more than two months since he was captured, and the fat dragon baby would never have been willing to exchange him for weapons. Rather than fall into the hands of others and fight back in the end, it is better to cheapen Ah Niu, at least Gao Ran will never threaten the Yellow Turban Army after becoming a Fengxiang general, this is the idea of the fat dragon baby.
Two thousand sets of one-stone rhubarb crossbows, converted at market prices, totaled 24o gold, although it can barely be called a huge amount of money, but more than two million to exchange for a famous general like Gao Lan is really worth it, even if he is resurrected with the Nine Shadows Abyss, the amount of money required is not less, and a phoenix feather is also required!
The so-called half-sale and half-delivery of the fat dragon baby is also the truth, and Ah Niu naturally accepted it without hesitation.
"But I have to warn you first, that Gao Ran is a bit dead-eyed, knowing that Fuxing City has been destroyed, but he still refuses to surrender, maybe he remembers that it was we who broke through Fuxing City. In the scolding on weekdays, Gao Ran also scolded you as the first city in the world. It is estimated that it is not so easy for you to subdue him, who let you make the powerful vacuum cleaner so miserable before!
When Ah Niu wants to ask for someone, just say it in advance. Seeing that the green tendons on the forehead of a certain city lord were about to pop up, the fat dragon baby hurriedly flashed, as for the question of how Ah Niu subdued Gao Ran, it was not something he needed to worry about.
Obviously, Gao Ran not only resents the Yellow Turban Army's attack on Fuxing City, but also has no good impression of Feng Xiang, who has "violated" Fuxing several times before.
The fat dragon baby has been locked up for more than two months without success in persuading Gao Ran to surrender, Gao Ran's will is obviously very firm, at least Ah Niu does not dare to be optimistic that his population is much better than the fat dragon baby.
When a certain city lord raised his head, he had already decided, "In that case, let's just cheapen him......"
Ah Niu dialed the communication bracelet of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"Brother Niu!"
There has been no news for almost two months, and Emperor Wu of Han's excitement is obvious.
Ah Niu nodded and said with a smile: "Long story short, do you have two thousand sets of one-stone rhubarb crossbows?" ”
"Two thousand? It's not that much now, under normal circumstances, it will take at least a month to get together two thousand sets, if you are in a hurry, I can first take back the rhubarb crossbow that the troops are equipped with, plus the output during this time, it will be enough for a week. Why does Brother Niu want a rhubarb crossbow, haven't you eliminated this level of weapons a long time ago? Emperor Wu of Han asked curiously.
A certain city lord sighed and said with a sad face: "There is no way, I was blackmailed and forced me to exchange two thousand sets of rhubarb crossbows for a useless person." ”
"Ahh Can someone force Brother Niu to buy it? Who is worth 2,000 sets of rhubarb crossbows? Emperor Wu of Han looked incredulous, he didn't expect that Ah Niu, who was almost omnipotent in his mind, would have such a helpless time.
"Gao Ran, do you think I'm losing a lot?" Ah Niu had a bitter face, and by the way, he told the content of the transaction with the fat dragon baby.
With the establishment of the Fengxiang Alliance, Fengxiang City's ties with Huoyun City and the Zilong Society have become closer, and it is time to gradually clarify many things to these tried-and-true allies, and it is unrealistic to want to hide from the world forever. Of course, Ah Niu did not talk about his alliance with the Fat Dragon Baby, but only said that the Fat Dragon Baby took the initiative to show favor to him, and was willing to end the long-term hostility with Feng Xiang and explore the possibility of establishing a long-term trade relationship.
The Yellow Turban Army lost its troops in many duels with Fengxiang City, and as Fengxiang's strength increased day by day, the difficulty for the Yellow Turban Army to take advantage of it also increased day by day, and it was obviously extremely unfavorable for the Yellow Turban Army to continue the confrontation. It should be a wise decision for the baby dragon to make such a decision.
Two thousand sets of one-stone rhubarb crossbows for the historical famous general Gao Lan, Ah Niu seemed to be extremely unhappy, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was suddenly petrified, and he almost fainted. Thinking that Feng Xiang already had Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Wang Yue and others, and he was indeed qualified not to take Gao Ran in his eyes, Emperor Wu of Han was even more speechless, "The gap between people is so big!" ”
Despite this, Emperor Wu of Han still said honestly: "Brother Niu...... You've earned it. If it were me, don't say that the other party only wants 2,000 sets of rhubarb crossbows, even if we want 5,000 sets, we have to give them! ”
"Really? Why don't I feel too expensive, or how about I give it to you? ”
A smile appeared on the corner of a certain city lord's mouth, this was Ah Niu's original intention. Since it is difficult for him to subdue Gao Ran, he simply takes advantage of the situation to let his trustworthy brother also have a good time. Even if Feng Xiang subdues Gao Lan, it is just the icing on the cake, but transferring Gao Lan to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow! Judging from the long-term friendship between Ah Niu and Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Wu of Han is qualified to accept this friendship.
Perhaps, this is the best destination for Gaolan!
"Good!"
As soon as Ah Niu's words fell, Emperor Wu of Han couldn't wait to agree, how could Emperor Wu of Han not know that Ah Niu had the intention to fulfill himself? Although Fengxiang is full of talents, no one will be suspicious of talents.
Looking at the lord players in the country, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Huoyun City's economic strength can basically be ranked in the top ten, and the talent reserve is also good, only the military strength can't be used. After getting the high view, the military strength of Huoyun City will definitely make great strides, which will lead to the improvement of its overall strength.
The strength of Huoyun City will make Feng Xiang have one more reliable and powerful ally, which is in line with Feng Xiang's long-term interests!
"Gao Ran Zhonglie, if the fifth brother can subdue him, I believe he will definitely not let you down. The way you trade needs to be carefully considered, not to arouse the suspicion of Gaolan, but also to help you in your subsequent take-in actions. The fifth brother will prepare the two thousand sets of rhubarb crossbows first, and I will arrange the specific details, and I will inform you when the time comes.
Also, about the compromise between us and the fat dragon baby for the Yellow Turban Army, remember not to let outsiders know, understand? Ah Niu laughed.
"Brother Niu, don't worry, I understand!"
Emperor Wu of Han, who was already immersed in happiness, was busy assuring that Emperor Wu of Han was excited when he thought that Gao Ran was about to become a member of Huoyun City.
Ten days later.
A group of nearly 100 Yellow Turban troops marched through the mountains and forests of Beihai with Gao Lan.
Gao Ran was ragged and looked haggard.
He didn't know why the Yellow Turban Army's attitude towards him had reversed in the past ten days, he had been treating himself like a guest in the past and hoped that he would surrender, but recently he had insulted himself many times, and even the quality of his food was not as good as before. What's more, the Yellow Turban Army actually brought itself from Youzhou to Qingzhou by water, even if the Yellow Turban Army lost patience with him, he didn't have to bring it all the way to Qingzhou to kill!
What exactly do they want to do?
While he was thinking, several feathered arrows in the forest roared, and two Yellow Turban soldiers fell in response.
"Enemy attack!"
"There are a lot of them, run!"
The panicked Yellow Turbans fled separately, and they could not be expected to remember to take Gao Ran's captive under such circumstances.
It wasn't until a smiling, sunny Inhuman Lord untied him that Gao Ran woke up like a dream: saved!
This Inhuman Lord Emperor Wu of Han, who rescued him from the Sea of Suffering, is the new lord who Gao Ran has sworn to follow him to the death.
The new lord has an incomparably good name: Emperor Wu of Han! (To be continued)
