Chapter 927: The Dilemma of Liu Bei's Group
For various reasons, the three brothers of Liu Bei felt very urgent pressure, they wanted to learn the yellow turban collar to make changes, and Guan Yu suddenly mentioned a certain Taoist sage in Jiangdong.
"The old immortal of Jiangdong?"
Liu Bei's eyes suddenly shot out two rays of light, and he said in surprise: "What the second brother said, but that old Yu Ji immortal who is famous in Jiangdong? ”
Guan Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "What the eldest brother said is exact!" ”
Liu Bei's face remained unchanged, but his tone of voice was a little hesitant: "Isn't it too risky?" ”
Recently, the Xuzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army have been in a lot of trouble, although there has not been a big fight, but small and medium-sized battles have broken out frequently.
As a veteran who is used to fighting, he naturally understands the truth of 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent in a hundred battles.
Regarding the situation in Jiangdong, Liu Bei Group has spent a lot of energy to investigate, and naturally understands the well-known veteran Yu Ji in Jiangdong.
This is very Zhang Jiao's demeanor, of course, not Zhang Jiao's monstrous ambitions, but on treating diseases and saving people, and solving disasters and misfortunes for others.
It can be said that from the families of Jiangdong to the poor people, they all believe in Ji Lao Dao, which is not worse than Zhang Jiao's reputation at the beginning, and even more prosperous in Jiangdong.
Doesn't it feel incredible, Zhang Jiao made such a fuss, there are still such Taoist masters in Jiangdong, it is said that the local family and the government should suppress it with all their might.
But this is the case, Yu Ji Laodao was not only not suppressed, but the momentum was growing day by day.
These situations are easy to find out, and Liu Bei Group felt quite strange when he first heard about it, but he didn't expect Guan Yu to hit this person.
Liu Bei's heart moved, in fact, he was also quite tempted.
"Big brother, the behavior of the local family in Xuzhou is too much, do you really think that without their support, we won't be able to get along?"
Guan Yu's face was calm, his eyes were shining brightly, and he said coldly: "Look, they have miscalculated!" ”
Liu Bei's face was calm, and there was no need to hide his thoughts in front of Guan Yu.
In other words, the Xuzhou family did not do anything excessive, at least they thought it was so.
But Brother Liu Bei, as well as a group of Wenchen gathered around him, don't see it that way.
With the help of network resources, they directly monopolized the research and sale of imitation rune appliances in Xuzhou, which is really nothing to the family.
Such a situation, before the collapse of the Han court, there is really no problem, monopoly is the true nature of the family, even the court and the royal family have nothing to do with them, or they don't care too much at all, as long as the family that controls some monopoly resources is willing to cooperate with the court.
But now is the period of melee between the heroes, and the top management of Liu Bei Group does not think so, especially the existence of such a contrast as the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, it is difficult for the top management of Liu Bei Group to accept whether their own army is strong or not, and the state of the Xuzhou family is in hand.
Of course, this is not the main contradiction.
After all, the Xuzhou family is still very cooperative, although the work of imitating rune appliances is monopolized by them, but the asking price is not too much, and Liu Bei Group can barely accept it.
But here comes the problem, the cultivation forces behind the big families are basically based on the cultivation families, and there are few large-scale cultivation sects and the like, which leads to the limited number of monks that the Xuzhou family can contact.
The way they imitate rune appliances is no different from a small workshop, that is, a monk takes care of everything, and there is no idea of division of labor and cooperation to engage in assembly line operations.
Don't think that the assembly line operation is very novel, the Great Qin Empire used this to forge armaments, from a small border vassal state, to achieve the might of the Qin army in one fell swoop.
Among them, there are traces of alchemists, the sharpest armor of Qiang Qin, killing monks is as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs, and the mystery is not without runes.
At present, it is not far from the Qiang Qin era, not to mention the cultivation family that has never broken the inheritance at all, there is no information on this.
Unfortunately, for monks who pursue leisure, assembly line work is not popular with them at all.
Even if it is the patriarch of the family, it is difficult to be like Lei Hu, the leader of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, a large number of Taiping Daoists are all honest and obedient under an order, after all, Taiping Daoists are used to militarized management and actions, how can ordinary cultivators of the family compare?
The small workshop model may create high-quality products, but it is absolutely impossible to produce much production, and this is where the contradiction lies.
Ten eight, or eighty or hundreds of high-quality magic weapons made of imitation rune instruments, did not have much effect on the improvement of Liu Bei's group's combat power.
What Liu Bei Group needs is a large-scale, mass-produced magic weapon that can be mass-produced and the power cannot be too much of a talisman car, as long as the quantity is enough, even if the quality is almost nothing, the needs of the army and the personal hobby collection are different after all.
If the current world is still the model of the Han Dynasty, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if there are a large number of rune instruments and magic weapons, everyone is in this situation, as long as the generals fight the soldiers and fight the foundation.
However, there is an alternative Qingzhou yellow turban collar in the north, which is not far from Xuzhou of Liu Bei Group, and the situation is completely different.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban not only revealed the elite army that is overwhelming in the world, but also opened an unprecedented rune transformation mode, which is strong enough to sweep the world.
In particular, the rune utensils that were fully utilized made the strength of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Collar swell greatly, bringing great pressure to the surrounding princes' forces.
Liu Bei Group is naturally no exception, although it shows that the relationship between them and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Collar is not bad, but the lifeblood of the army's combat power improvement and maintenance is in the hands of others, as long as the brain is okay, it will not work.
The point is that it is not difficult to imitate the rune utensils of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Collar, but it requires a large number of monks, which is the core of the contradiction.
If the Xuzhou Shijia Group can provide sufficient magic weapons that imitate rune combat equipment, although the senior management of Liu Bei Group will definitely not be satisfied, they can still reluctantly accept it, after all, compared to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Collar, which is so strong that it is not like words, the Xuzhou Shijia is still very good.
But the problem is that the Xuzhou family not only has to forcibly monopolize the magic weapons that imitate rune instruments, but also the supply is seriously insufficient, which is troublesome.
As a neighbor, Liu Bei Group investigated the situation of the Yellow Turban Collar in Qingzhou quite carefully, not only what Guan Ping, a teenager who went to school in the Yellow Turban Collar, saw and heard, but also the intelligence of many spies.
Without exception, the combined information made the hearts of the top management of Liu Bei Group heavy, as uncomfortable as pressing a boulder.
It's not that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Collar has done something that makes them feel dangerous, but that the Yellow Turban Collar relies on the powerful power of the Taoist Academy to constantly study and improve the ability of rune instruments.
According to the understanding of the top management of Liu Bei Group, every once in a while, with the upgrading of the rune equipment of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Collar, the combat power of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army will be greatly improved.
The current improvement is still within the range of catching up, but Liu Bei Group must catch up, otherwise there will be no chance to catch up after a long time.
As Liu Bei, who is bent on restoring the Han dynasty and wants to regain the glory of the Han family, such a situation will never be allowed, which is the most difficult situation for him to accept.
In other words, the Xuzhou family's monopoly on magic weapons is acceptable, but the magic weapons they research cannot be too backward, and the quantity must also meet the requirements, and it is obvious that the Xuzhou family cannot do this.
The top management of Liu Bei Group was anxious, they were all ruthless people who were killed from the battlefield of blood and fire, and naturally they would not watch the Qingzhou Yellow Turban go away, and wait for the production of magic weapons monopolized by the Xuzhou family to be greatly improved.
Although it will not be ruthless against the Xuzhou family because of this, the dominance of imitating rune war equipment must be controlled, and if anyone dares to oppose it, they will not know whether they are dead or alive.
But the problem comes again, don't look at Liu Bei's family from the Han family, but the family has long been ruined, otherwise he would not have woven straw sandals and straw mats to sell in order to make a living when he was young.
Although he has a trace now, he has no friendship with the cultivation forces at all, let alone being able to control one or two cultivation forces, and there is no such good thing at all.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and his subordinate Wenchen are also in this situation, basically from a poor family, how can there be any relationship between the cultivation forces?
The only way to get monks is to secretly recruit a group of wandering Taiping Taoist masters, but for various reasons, they must not be exposed to the world openly, so they can only secretly and carefully study runic instruments such as rune cars.
But the level of these wandering Taiping Taoists is not good, there is no special training institution for them to learn, communicate and improve themselves, and there is no Yellow Turban Collar Taoist Academy with such a great god as Nanhua Lao Dao to sit and guide, and it is barely enough to imitate the talisman car originally made by the Yellow Turban Collar.
When Liu Bei's group brought the new generation of yellow turban collar talisman cars for them to study and imitate through the means of purchasing, they were completely blind.
The application of the new generation of talisman chariots in the spell has been raised several notches at once, and it is not something that these wandering Taiping Daoists can easily study and imitate.
The most important thing is that they lack core masters, as well as a large number of peers to communicate and improve together, no matter how hard they try, it has little effect, which is the main reason why the senior management of Liu Bei Group is anxious.
In addition to secretly recruiting wandering Taiping Taoists, the most effective way is actually to integrate the cultivation power relationship of the Xuzhou family, but such a move will obviously not be cooperated, and may even cause chaos in Xuzhou, and now is the time to fight with Jiangdong, Liu Bei is obviously unwilling to act like this.
The key is that such an act of forcible seizure is very demoralizing, which is naturally not the first choice for Liu Bei, who has always valued reputation.
It's just that I don't want to, Guan Yu actually came up with a very feasible idea...... -
