Chapter 713: This Iron Ore is not for you, you need to pay the price
Xia Houlan rubbed Yuzhu's head and said softly.
"I still wrote a letter to my son, asking him to pay more attention, if he encounters any trouble, he can also ask for help, I will send someone to rescue as soon as possible."
Yuzhu was happy and said, "Thank you, Miss, the slave maid likes Miss the most." ”
Xia Houlan pinched the tip of Yuzhu's nose dotingly and said, "Good, let's sleep." ”
"Hmm!"
After Cao Ang came to the school with the generals, he directly announced the start of today's training after a brief lecture.
"You all cheer me up, if anyone is lazy today, I will never spare you." Cao Ang said solemnly.
When all the soldiers heard this, they all cheered up and began to train seriously.
Cao Ang looked at everyone's serious appearance, nodded with satisfaction, and then came to a remote corner.
He took out a pen and paper and wrote hard.
In less than half an hour, a letter was written.
Cao Ang checked it, and after making sure that it was correct, he folded it and tied it into a thread and stuffed it into the letter box.
"Give it to Guan Hai!" Cao Ang handed it to the soldier.
The soldier answered, took the letterbox, and hurried away.
After the soldiers left, Cao Ang began to patrol again.
Soon, Cao Ang finished his inspection and was about to go back to rest, when suddenly a soldier came running to report, "Young master, Uncle Liu Huang is here." ”
When Cao Ang heard this, he immediately led his soldiers to the city tower.
When he arrived at the city wall, Liu Bei was already waiting.
"Brother Xuande, don't come unharmed?" Cao Ang hugged his fists.
Liu Bei bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Cao Gongzi's demeanor is still the same." ”
Cao Ang said modestly: "Where, compared to Brother Xuande, I am far behind." ”
After the two praised each other, Liu Bei said: "Young Master Cao, I came this time because I want to ask you something." ”
"Oh? Brother Xuande has any difficulties, just say, if I can answer them, I will tell you. Cao Ang said.
"Haha, Cao Gongzi is really refreshing, then I'm welcome." Liu Bei laughed loudly.
"Brother Xuande, please speak."
Liu Bei said: "Cao Gongzi said before that the weapon in your hand is a famous sword inherited by the Han family through the ages, I wonder if Cao Gongzi can borrow me to take a look?" ”
"This." Cao Ang hesitated and said: "Brother Xuande, I can't hide it, this sword of mine was left by the ancestors, it is very precious, I can't borrow it from you to observe." ”
"Haha, if that's the case, then I won't be strong." Liu Bei sighed slightly.
"Brother Xuande, don't worry, I have something." Cao Ang laughed.
"Oh, what's that?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.
"I can send you a batch of armor." Cao Ang said lightly: "I know that your subordinates lack armor, and these armors are enough for you to use." ”
"These armors are priceless, how can I take them?" Liu Bei waved his hand and said.
"If you refuse, I'll go." Cao Ang said lightly.
"Ugh." Liu Bei let out a long sigh and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
"Then bother Brother Xuande for a while, and I'll have someone send it right away." After Cao Ang finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Liu Bei looked at Cao Ang's departing back, and a grim smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Soon, a group of soldiers arrived outside the city gate carrying wooden boxes full of armor, and then opened the boxes, revealing a set of fine armor.
"This. This is. Liu Bei said excitedly.
"This is my latest armor." Cao Ang said arrogantly.
"It's so powerful, it's even better than the standard armor in our army?" Liu Bei was surprised.
Cao Ang said proudly: "That's nature, my set of armor is different from ordinary standard armor. ”
Liu Bei asked, "What's so special about that?" ”
"Brother Xuande, don't you know if you try it?" Cao Ang said.
"Good!" Liu Bei did not hesitate, took off his clothes and changed into armor.
"Wow!" As soon as Liu Bei put it on, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
Because Cao Ang's armor was many times better than he imagined, not to mention very light, and the defensive power seemed to be very amazing.
This is extremely important for his troops.
"Gongzi Cao, is this armor really made by you?" Liu Bei couldn't help but ask.
Cao Ang nodded and said, "That's right, my armor has taken me a lot of effort. ”
"Great!" Liu Bei said with emotion: "With just this set of armor, the combat effectiveness of my troops can be increased several times."
If it is properly coordinated, even if it encounters the Hun cavalry, it can resist one or two, and even repel it. ”
"Haha, that's nature." Cao Ang laughed.
"By the way, Gongzi Cao, I don't know how much this armor costs?" Liu Bei asked.
"It's not expensive, ten taels of silver." Cao Ang said.
Liu Bei frowned and said, "Ten taels of silver?" This is also too expensive, I am afraid that only rich merchants can afford it. ”
Cao Ang said with a smile: "Brother Xuande, this price is not expensive, because the materials of this set of armor are very scarce, and each pair of armor costs a lot.
The material of this set of armor alone was enough to exchange for a hundred and fifty horses, not to mention the rest. ”
Hearing this, Liu Bei gasped.
He thought that Cao Ang was just joking, but he didn't expect Cao Ang to really have this kind of technology, so that the value of this armor would be more than ten taels of silver.
"It's worthy of Cao Gongzi." Liu Bei sincerely admired: "Admire, admire." ”
Liu Bei said, and then said: "I don't know if Gongzi Cao is willing to teach me love"
Cao Ang shook his head and said, "Brother Xuande, the production of this armor is a secret recipe, but you can order it from the craftsman.
I've already taught the craftsman how to do it, and if you are paid enough, the craftsman will help you produce your armor. ”
"I see." Liu Bei said suddenly.
Cao Ang continued: "In addition, Brother Xuande, you also know that I never like to owe others anything, Brother Xuande, you helped me before, and I can also give you 20,000 catties of iron ore for free." ”
"This. How does this work? Liu Bei was taken aback.
"Don't worry, this iron ore is not for you, you need to pay the price." Cao Ang said.
Liu Bei's face suddenly collapsed, and he said: "Gongzi Cao, isn't this too high, iron ore is a very important material, we can't use it at will." ”
Cao Ang smiled slightly and said, "I know that Brother Xuande is a benevolent and righteous person.
But I hope that Brother Xuande will not forget the danger you are facing now, although these materials are precious, but what are they compared to your life? ”
Seeing Liu Bei's expression, Cao Ang knew that what he said was in the middle of the heart.
Liu Bei looked around, and after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he asked in a low voice, "Then I don't know what conditions Cao Gongzi has?" ”
"I want Brother Xuande to take Wancheng within a month." Cao Ang said. (End of chapter)
