Chapter 863: : Deal with Jiangdong

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! "What's the request?" Lu Bu keenly noticed the change in Zhang Zhao's expression.

"In the past, Jin Hou had sold the Perak car to Jingzhou. I wonder if Jin Hou could sell this to Jiangdong. If so, Jiangdong would be grateful." Seeing that Lu Bu showed great interest in this matter, Zhang Zhao Secretly happy in my heart.

Lu Bu said: "If Wu Hou is willing to give enough things, he will have nothing to do with it."

Zhang Zhao said, "I don't know what Jin Hou wants?"

"Fifty thousand shi rice and grain is a thunderbolt car." Lu Bu said directly.

Zhang Zhao is no longer so calm. "Jin Marquis, this is absolutely impossible." Jiangdong can take out 50,000 shi rice grains, but it is not worth it just to exchange for a Perak car.

"Don't rush to refuse. It's still a disadvantage for Benhou. The 50,000 shi rice grain is not only a Perak car. After having a Perak car, wouldn't Jiangdong still build a Perak car."

Zhang Zhao was silent when he heard this. If calculated like this, Jiangdong was indeed taking a lot of advantage, but the plan to assemble the Pili car into the army in a short time would be in vain.

"If Jiangdong buys fifty Perak cars at once, how much rice is needed?" Zhang Zhao asked.

"Five hundred thousand stones." Lu Bu said.

"If it is 300,000 shi, Jiangdong is willing to buy fifty Thunderbolt cars." Zhang Zhao said.

"Deal." Lu Bu directly agreed. It is a matter of time for the princes to own the Thunderbolt. As long as Jiangdong can get a Thunderbolt, a skilled craftsman can imitate it and sell it to Jiangdong. What? The Thunderbolt doesn't consume much iron, it's more of wood, and 300,000 stone, grain and grass is not a small amount, and Jiangdong and Hezhou will not have a conflict of interests in a short time.

Only when Sun Ce is strong can he withstand Liu Biao and the future enemy Cao Cao. He doesn't want his allies to be wiped out for others so easily.

Zhang Zhao was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to agree so readily. This was not a small distance from the bottom line price Sun Ce gave him.

Seeing Zhang Zhao’s hesitation, Lu Bu said, “Benhou has a good relationship with Sun Wentai, and Bo Fu is a descendant of Benhou. Even if he suffers some losses, it’s nothing."

Zhang Zhao showed gratitude, but he didn't agree with it. If Lu Bu really did so because of these sentiments, he would not receive rice. "So thank you Jinhou."

After a brief silence, Zhang Zhao said: "This year, Jingzhou once sent an envoy to Jiangdong to talk about the Bingzhou. The envoy said that the Jin Marquis occupied Bingzhou and Youzhou and defeated Xianbei. They were strong, but they were very strong, but they were very powerful. People and Wuhuan people are united in one place, and entering the Central Plains in the future will inevitably become a disaster. If you want to unite with Wuhou, attack Bingzhou."

A sharp look flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, as expected, as Guo Jia had guessed, but he didn't expect that it would be Jingzhou who took the lead in provoking this incident. At that time, the imperial court canonized himself as a general. Sure enough, these people didn't have a simple one.

"Wu Hou categorically refused after learning about this. Jin Hou and Wu Hou had the grace to save lives. How could Wu Hou do that kind of ungrateful things." Zhang Zhao said abruptly. However, Sun Ce rejected the envoy of Jingzhou, and instead scolded the envoy of Jingzhou.

Lu Bu said: "This Hou also coincides with his meeting. The matter of Jingzhou, the Hou has already known about it, and the matter of the Thunderbolt, after Jiangdong has delivered the rice grains, the Hou will send people to Jiangdong."

"Thank you Jinhou, it's just a matter of bed crossbows?" Zhang Zhao said, Jiangdong is more of water power. If these bed crossbows can be equipped on warships, it will be of great help to the navy. Fighting on the water. , Originally used bows and arrows as the mainstay.

"Fifty bed crossbows, 600,000 stones, grains and grass." Lu Bu said, Jingzhou's affairs made him more vigilant. The reason why the princes did not attack Bingzhou now is because Bingzhou did not touch their interests, and the state and Youzhou did not. Lack of elite people, but shortcomings in terms of food and grass, which is why Lu Bu wants to capture Jizhou.

When Zhang Zhao heard that he wanted to bargain, he kept silent when he saw Lu Bu's expression.

"The creation of the bed crossbow needs to consume more things. The fact that Benhou can sell the bed crossbow to Jiangdong already depends on the friendship between the two sides." Lu Bu said.

Zhang Zhao heard this, and his heart moved, as Lü Bu said. For example, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have bed crossbows, but they are extremely tightly protected. They are afraid that they will be known to others. Not to mention 600,000 stones, grains and grass, even a little more, they are not necessarily After Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou and approached Yangzhou, the two sides would definitely have conflicts of interest in the future. Once Jiangdong had a crossbow, it would be equivalent to establishing a formidable enemy for himself.

"This matter is very important, and we will talk to Wu Hou." Zhang Zhaodao Now that he has come to Jinyang, he intends to take a good look in the city, as long as he sends the letter back to Jiangdong, he will send the rice grains. When we arrive in Bingzhou, we are waiting for the Thunderbolt cars to be transported to Jiangdong. Fifty Thunderbolt cars can play a significant role in attacking or defending the city. As for there will be small chaos along the way, as long as you hit the Zhenyuan Escort. The banner is that some generals in the city didn't dare to be embarrassed when they saw it. Today, who does not know that the Zhenyuan Escort is under the command of the Jinhou, and how many bandits and others are unlucky because of the Zhenyuan Escort.

With more and more businessmen entering Jinyang, the scale of Zhenyuan Escort has grown. Today, the number of soldiers in the Escort has exceeded 5,000. Even if the number of soldiers increases, sometimes it is necessary to draw some from the army. Sergeant.

It can be said that the Escort has provided a standing army of thousands of people for Bingzhou, and it has also made a lot of money. Even if other princes know it, they are only envious. Now the name of Zhenyuan Escort has already started. Let’s go to Jin. Yang has the most business talents, and there will be no good business if escorts are opened in other places.

After Zhang Zhao left, Lu Bu turned his attention to Jia Xu. Seeing that Jia Xu’s expression could not hide his worry, Lu Bu smiled and said, “It’s just Liu Biao’s little trouble. Does Wen He think that he is relying on the warriors and horses of the lords of the district. Can you break the Huguan? What Benhou worries about is that after the start of the war, the people of Bingzhou will panic and affect the normal operation of Bingzhou."

"As the lord said, Bingzhou now relies more on commercial exchanges. The grain and grass produced in Youzhou and Bingzhou are already unsuitable for paying for the army, and the families of soldiers in the army do not need to pay taxes and can collect them every year. The amount of rice is greatly reduced.” Jia Xu said. Although this strategy has made soldiers in the army more desperate and the people have more support for the army, the amount of rice collected by the prefecture and animal husbandry is much less.
