Confused, one of the scouts asked a vendor on the street.

"Uncle, why don't you still collect the stall?"

"The Great Zhou Dynasty is coming."

"This time, it is said that the ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty came with 300,000 elites."

The vendor he called Uncle said with a meaningless face.

"What a bullshit Great Zhou Dynasty Ancestor."

"300,000 elites are a fart, and King Ding'an's army of one million is not the same as a water dog."

"With the general here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

After saying that, the uncle packed up his things and continued to the next street.

Only the scouts of the Great Zhou Dynasty gathered all the information they collected and sent it to the imperial capital.

Just when the scouts were collecting intelligence, Zhuge Liang summoned all the deputy generals at the border pass to the General's Mansion and held a meeting.

In the General's Mansion, everyone gathered together, their expressions full of excitement.

The news that 300,000 elites of the Great Zhou Dynasty rushed to the border has spread.

All the lieutenants have heard about it, and the meeting is presumably held for this purpose now.

Everyone sat down with a big grin, and began to discuss in a few words, as if they had annihilated all the 300,000 elites of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This atmosphere lasted until the figures of Zhuge Liang and Su Mo appeared, and everyone instantly quieted down, and Cheng Meng and the others got up and asked with a happy face.

"General, military advisor."

"Who will be the vanguard of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Zhuge Liang motioned for everyone to sit down, and then put stacks of papers in front of everyone, and said indifferently.

"There are two things that have summoned you today."

"First, the 300,000 elites of the Great Zhou are about to be launched, and this battle is not allowed to be defeated."

"Second, defeat the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then hold a ceremony to proclaim the emperor."

As soon as his words fell, the rest of the lieutenants all looked at Zhuge Liang with excitement, and the ambition in everyone's eyes was no longer concealed.

The ceremony of being crowned emperor means rewarding hundreds of officials, and everyone is the deputy general of the border army, and Su Mo is loyal.

At that time, it will be a big member of one party, and the second product will start, so the reward will mean that the ancestors will be glorified and ascend to the sky in one step.

Just as everyone was excited, Zao Wou-Ki got up from his seat and arched his hand.

"General, let me be the vanguard."

"Cheng Meng and they are tired of traveling, why don't they stay in Tai'an City to rest."

His words instantly woke everyone up.

The ancestor of the Xiao family led 300,000 elites, and this was likely to be the last big battle before the death of Zhou.

Whoever is the pioneer will be able to obtain the most military merits, and at that time, Su Mo will be crowned emperor, and the official position of the reward will be higher.

Cheng Meng on the side also knew the key and hurriedly retorted.

"General, our vanguard army just fired a few cannons in the past, and there was no damage."

"It's not a long journey, you need to rest."

"Why don't we go to the vanguard."

Seeing this, Zao Wou-Ki also retorted repeatedly.

"Even if the soldiers don't need to rest, the war horses always need it."

"From Tianshui City to Tai'an City, it is a thousand kilometers, and the vanguard army rushed back in only seven days, and the war horses can't stand it."

"Every war horse has worked hard to cultivate, can't they be exhausted to death?"

Cheng Meng was speechless when he said this.

It is indeed a fact that the vanguard army is tired of war horses, and the border army war horses are scarce.

It is also a fact that it takes a great deal of effort to train each horse.

Now that Zao Wou-Ki has implicated the two, it is indeed difficult for him to refute.

After all, the war horses of the border army all belong to them, and those who are not killed cannot be replaced.

Zhuge Liang listened to the competition between the two, and knew very well the little Jiujiu in the hearts of the two, so he first opened his mouth to stop it.

"Let's not mention who will be in the vanguard for the time being, wait for the border army of the Great Zhou Dynasty to come and make a final decision!"

"There is progress in the research and development of new equipment, why don't you listen to it?"

Hearing his words, everyone's eyes shifted from Zao Wou-Ki and the others to Zhuge Liang.

New equipment, a term that everyone has just come across.

The red-coated cannon can blast more than two feet through just one shot.

It is enough to solve hundreds of border armies, and such equipment makes everyone envious of the flowing oil.

Now that the military advisor has actually researched new equipment, this makes everyone extremely curious.

Previously it was a redcoat cannon, what is it now?

Zhuge Liang saw that everyone was looking at him with great anticipation, and said indifferently.

"Not long ago, the military factory developed a new type of musket, which not only greatly improved its stability, but also enhanced its power."

"After testing, the new musket is enough to cope with the border war and can be put into service."

As soon as he finished saying this, Cheng Meng posted it with a flattering face, he rubbed his hands, and asked with an expectant expression.

"Master Strategist, this new musket should be equipped with our vanguard army."

"After all, we are all the vanguard troops who fight tough battles and big battles."

Without waiting for Zhuge Liang to answer, Zhao Wuji on the side hurriedly retorted.

"The musket should be given to the cavalry for the most convenient."

"Fight tough battles, fight big battles, our cavalry is an indispensable part."

When he said this, Zao Wou-Ki's expression was firm, and the whole person was bound to win.

He had heard of the development of muskets before, and even he had seen the power of half-finished muskets.

Now that he learned that the musket had been successfully developed, the first thing he thought of was the elite cavalry under his command.

The red-coat cannon was for the infantry, so he couldn't grab it.

After all, it is indeed inconvenient for cavalry to use red-coated cannons.

But muskets are different, muskets are easy to carry, powerful, and completely tailor-made for their cavalry.

Just when the two were arguing, Chen Wu also spoke.

"Why don't you give us the muskets, and let us be the vanguard."

"Among the border troops, we should have the best ratio of cavalry and infantry, and it should be just right for us."

He had rushed to the Dawu Dynasty with everyone and saw the terrifying power of the red-clothed cannon with his own eyes.

As for the new weapons of the border army, he knew that they must be treasures and must not be missed.

The ancestor of the Xiao family came with 300,000 elites, and this was the best time for the border army under his command to show their loyalty.

As long as he could get some share of muskets, he felt that the border army under his command would not lose to the remaining elite of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As Chen Wu joined the scramble list, the remaining lieutenants also participated in the scramble for muskets, and for a while, the military tent was extremely lively.

Zhuge Liang saw that everyone was rushing for places, and turned his head to look at Su Mo.

"General, now the border army has 1,000 artillery, 2,000 muskets, and some ammunition!"

"I hope the general will decide."

In the military tent, Su Mo saw Zhuge Liang throw the problem to himself, and calmly spoke.

"It's up to the military advisor to decide."

"I believe in the abilities of the military advisors."

Now that there is sufficient grain and grass at the border gates, soldiers and horses are strongly armed, and all new equipment such as artillery and muskets have been successfully developed, it is an excellent opportunity to compete for world domination.

For Su Mo, he needed to delegate power to these generals and Zhuge Liang.

He needs to cultivate a group of people who can use it.

When he becomes emperor in the future, these messy things will be handed over to everyone to be responsible.
