Chapter 91 Buying Equipment(1/2)
Lu Bu frowned when he heard Chen Gong's answer, but he couldn't do anything at this time. He could only nodded and said slowly.
"Gongtai, if this is the case, then send someone to borrow it as soon as possible to save time."
Zhang Miao has already recruited a lot of refugees. As for the tools, although we can make do with it for the time being, as the number of refugees increases, I'm afraid that just making do can't solve the problem.
Of course Chen Gong also knew the situation here, and asked with a wry smile, "That's fine, I'll send someone to Beihai right now."
After finishing speaking, Chen Gong cupped his hands, turned around and left.
After Chen Gong left, Lu Bu suddenly let out a long sigh.
Why did Kong Rong lend him iron ore?
I am not familiar with him, so there seems to be no reason!
Lu Bu was very worried that Kong Rong would not lend him the iron ore.
Kong Rong was a kind and righteous person. If it were another person, he might have sent the iron ore without hesitation.
But yourself?
Kong Rong was loyal to the imperial court. When he first followed Dong Zhuo, he probably hated him very much.
Now that I have sent someone to borrow iron ore, the possibility of borrowing it is simply slim.
Lu Bu thought for a long time, and became more and more irritable. He simply stopped talking, stood up, and left the room.
"Zhang Hu, prepare your horses immediately and follow me to the military camp."
…
When the generals in the military camp heard that Lu Bu was coming, they rushed to see him.
Lu Bu nodded, "Gather all the soldiers together, I will conduct a review today."
"Marquis Wen, all the soldiers?"
Everyone was stunned. Normally, even if Lu Bu came to the military camp, he would be inspecting the Bingzhou cavalry and the war horses.
Lu Bu nodded, "Let everyone put on their best armor and bring all their weapons. I want to see how the soldiers are doing."
"The general will obey his orders."
Everyone hurriedly handed over their hands and turned around to summon the soldiers and horses in their own camp.
Lu Bu and his party came to the high platform in the middle of the laughter field and watched quietly as they gathered and lined up neatly in a square formation on the school field.
When the generals saw that Lu Bu was about to review the troops, they were all in high spirits and kept shouting loudly.
"Stand straighter for me and be neater!"
When the soldiers heard the news, they couldn't help but stand in line honestly. No one dared to talk nonsense, and they all tried their best to show off.
If Marquis Wen takes a fancy to him, wouldn't he be able to achieve great success just around the corner?
With the sound of chaotic footsteps, groups of soldiers strode in from the entrance, and then lined up at the designated location.
Soon, the school field, which was originally made of hard soil, lost its original color and turned completely black.
After the generals gathered their troops and horses, they immediately came to the high platform and wanted to hear Lu Bu's opinion of his troops.
"Marquis Wen, what do you think of my troops and horses?"
Lu Bu stood on the high platform of the school ground, watching silently. When he heard everyone asking, he nodded.
"Yes, the morale of our troops is good."
At this point, Lu Bu was referring to the newly joined soldiers, "Why don't they have weapons?"
Even if you don't have armor, how can you fight without weapons?
Upon hearing the question, Zhang Liao hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "Marquis Wen, I have already discussed this matter with Mr. Gongtai, but now Xiaopei is short of iron, so the tools of those refugees are the first priority, so the soldiers' swords and guns are temporarily suspended."
As soon as Zhang Liao finished speaking, Cheng Lian said loudly, "Marquis Wen, those refugees can wait to reclaim the land, but the soldiers don't have swords and guns. If the enemy comes, it will be a big deal. We have to build swords and guns for them first."
!”
It’s iron ore!
Lu Bu felt a little headache. He raised his head and looked at the swords and guns in the hands of the soldiers below the school grounds, and his headache became even more severe.
The armors and weapons worn by these soldiers may have been worn for too long and are somewhat worn.
Standing at the front were elite soldiers, half of whom were still wearing leather armor, and even fewer were wearing iron half-armor.
However, even though there are very few iron half armors, many of them are indeed broken, or even damaged.
There are also weapons in their hands, some of which are full of gaps and various scars.
Lu Bu looked at the broken weapons in the hands of the soldiers and sighed secretly in his heart.
It’s all the iron ore’s fault!
Suddenly, Lu Bu's heart moved, and his eyes lit up when he looked at the broken weapons in the hands of the soldiers.
Oops, why did I forget this!
If others can't solve it, why can't you do it yourself?
If others need weapons, they need to find a blacksmith to slowly build them.
You don't need it at all, you can just go to Adventure World and buy it with copper coins.
Moreover, copper coins can also be obtained in the adventure world, which is a huge profit for nothing!
Also, the tattered weapons and armor in the hands of these soldiers can be completely destroyed and made into farm tools.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu's originally depressed mood suddenly became active. He raised his head and looked at everyone, and said with a solemn expression.
"Everyone, I am inspecting the team today and want to see if there is any problem with everyone's equipment."
At this point, Lu Bu's tone paused, and when he saw everyone's eyes suddenly brightening, he continued.
"Everyone, since there is not much iron ore locally, we cannot make more weapons and equipment, so I have ordered people to buy some weapons from other places."
After hearing this, Cheng Lian immediately grinned and asked, "Marquis Wen, is it true? When can we arrive?"
After hearing this, everyone also looked at Lu Bu, their eyes full of questioning expressions.
Lu Bu smiled slightly, "Today, I am here to tell everyone good news. The weapons I purchased have been delivered."
"Delivered?"
Everyone repeated the sentence at first, and then suddenly realized it. They were overjoyed and all raised their hands to Lu Bu.
"Marquis Wen, almost two of the general's subordinates have one sword per person, so we should allocate some weapons to the general first."
"Marquis Wen, the last general has five men in armor, so let's solve the last general's problem first."
According to everyone's experience, even if you buy equipment, it will definitely not be a lot.
After all, there are too few places to sell equipment now. Everyone wants to develop their own strength, so how can they sell it to others.
Another reason is the price!
Nowadays, various places are in turmoil, and the prices of weapons and armors are rising steadily, almost to the point of being unaffordable.
Therefore, they concluded that there would not be a lot of equipment and they had to fight hard to get it, otherwise they would be the ones who would suffer.
Once your subordinates are fully equipped with weapons, their combat effectiveness will also increase. When the time comes, it will be easy to make meritorious deeds!
Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh and waved his hands when he saw everyone's faces flushing.
"You don't have to fight. The equipment I purchased this time is sufficient for every soldier."
At this point, Lu Bu's tone paused, and looking at the astonished eyes of everyone, he felt even more proud, "Not only the equipment of these soldiers, but also the equipment of the soldiers you are about to recruit, I have already prepared it for you.
"
As soon as Lu Bu finished speaking, Cheng Lian was the first to jump up and shout, "Great!"
The rest of the people were naturally much more reserved than him, and they all bowed their hands and said, "Thank you, Marquis Wen."
Lu Bu waved his hand and turned to look at Gao Shun, "General Gao, how many people are trapped in the camp now, and are their equipment complete?"
There is no doubt that Lu Bu is a master of tactics and the king of cavalry commanders.
And he also knew very clearly how strong the trapping camp under Gao Shun was.
But what if he knew?
Although the trapped camp has amazing combat power, it still costs a lot of money and cannot be afforded by ordinary people!
Let’s not talk about the equipment of the trapped camp. Let’s just talk about the food of those soldiers. Basically, one can eat as much as two ordinary soldiers.
The soldiers trapped in the camp wear heavy armor and wield heavier swords than other soldiers. They consume a lot every day, so they eat more.
Moreover, the armor of these soldiers is also expensive. They can assemble the armor and swords for 800 people. Lu Bu can only say that he has tried his best.
In comparison, even the Bingzhou cavalry, which Lu Bu values most, only has 1,000 men. It is already quite powerful to have 800 soldiers trapped in the camp.
Gao Shun raised his hand and said, "After repeated consumption and no replenishment, there are now 562 people left in the trapped camp, and most of the armors are somewhat damaged."
Having said this, Gao Shun paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Marquis Wen, if there are any leftovers, please replace them with the armors of the soldiers trapped in the camp."
