I Am the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

"My lord, whether there is a big chaos or not." Xi Zhaoxi said, although Xi Zhicai was next to him, but as Xi Zhicai's uncle, he made it clear that he did not believe in the saying that there was a big chaos, and Xi Zhicai couldn't say anything. .

However, Liu Zhe believed the words of Xi Zhicai Xu Shu. If there is no chaos, how could the Three Kingdoms appear?Therefore, Liu Zhe's idea of ​​enhancing his own strength can't be shaken by anyone.

"My lord, I don't object to you spending money to enhance the strength of your subordinates, but you must do what you can' v." Xi Zhaoxi continued to persuade.

"Mmmm, don't worry, Mr. Xi, I'm free." Liu Zhe said lightly.

"Deheng, is there anything else good?" Liu Zhe asked Ma Jun.

"My lord, go this way." Just now Liu Zhe was arguing with Xi Zhaoxi, Ma Jun didn't dare to speak at all, and he didn't dare to look at Shang Xi Zhaoxi. Xi Zhaoxi was in charge of Xiaoxingzhuang's money, and Ma Jun wanted to To get more material and money, he couldn't get around the theater.

The manufacturing department, which Liu Zhe personally named, is actually very large. There are several open-air furnaces, and the rooms inside are stacked with various ore materials.

Ma Jun took Liu Zhe and the others to a house, opened the door, and two black armors appeared in front of everyone.

"My lord, this is the heavy armor you said. According to your meaning, the slender one is cavalry armor, and the other is infantry armor."

"It's made?" Liu Zhe didn't understand the armor. He only gave Ma Jun some ideas. He never thought that Ma Jun could actually make it.

This time, there is no need for Liu Zhe to make a sound, and Guan Yu, whose eyes are shining, has already let people try it on.

One wears infantry armor and one wears cavalry armor.

After wearing it, everyone found some differences between the two armors.

The infantry armor is bloated, while the cavalry armor is slender. The entire body of the infantry armor is covered, and the cavalry armor is biased towards the upper body. The helmets of the two armors are different, but they both cover most of their faces.

"My lord, infantry armor is heavier than cavalry armor, but the defense is stronger." Ma Jun introduced to Liu Zhe.

Liu Zhe nodded, the two armors looked a little more handsome than the cavalry armor, but the helmets of the two armors were made to look rather scary.

".v This, this, how much does it cost?" Xi Zhaoxi was so frightened that his lips were trembling. Both pieces of armor were made of steel, which was very expensive at first glance.

"One piece of infantry armor is [-] yuan, and cavalry armor is [-] yuan." Ma Jun said, "But if you add the armor of the warhorse, it will cost [-] yuan." This is only for a single person, not yet. On other aspects, once you count other aspects, it will be more expensive.

"War horses too? My lord, how much do you want to build?" Xi Zhaoxi's lips were still trembling, he asked Liu Zhe, he was really afraid that he would have all the equipment as soon as he opened his mouth, and that would not be far from bankruptcy.

"Five hundred infantry, three hundred cavalry, let's do this first." Fortunately, Liu Zhe had his own considerations.Infantry with heavy infantry armor can become heavy infantry, and cavalry plus horses equipped with heavy armor can become heavy cavalry.Liu Zhe knew that these two arms were very powerful, but the cost was too high.Liu Zhe also had to reduce the number in his mind.

Coming here today is not only about the saddle and heavy armor, but also other things to see, such as continuous crossbows, swords and weapons, and these will also be equipped at that time. Liu Zhe has to consider his wallet!

In the best possible circumstances, he must constantly enrich the strength of his Xiaoxingzhuang!

After all, a crisis can arise at any time! .

68. The Yellow Turban Uprising, the war began

"Report, sect master, someone leaked the secret. In Tang Zhou in the capital, Ma Yuanyi's identities were leaked, and they were captured by the government. Tang Zhou has confessed everything, and Ma Yuanyi has been cracked by a car. Luoyang sent a large team to Jizhou, and Jizhou has been ordered. Capture the sect master and send it to Luoyang..."

"Report, believers in various places were killed by the government and suffered heavy losses..."

"Report, sect master, Jia Cong, the governor of Jizhou, has sent state soldiers toward us..."

"Report, the imperial court has designated my Yellow Turban Sect as a cult, and many believers have withdrawn..."

March has not yet arrived, and February is still dancing with snowflakes, but the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang felt a biting chill, not only the three brothers Zhang Jiao, but also the other backbones in the church felt the same chill.

"Who? Who told the secret?" Zhang Liang is the third of Zhang Jiao's three brothers. He has a full beard and looks much older than his two brothers.He was short-tempered, and many of his followers were punished by him, and he didn't know how many people died tragically in his hands.He is now roaring in the council hall, his eyes are fierce and vicious, like a hungry wolf who chooses someone to devour, and looks at everyone and feels that he is an informer.

"Third brother, don't be impatient, now it's not about asking who to inform." The second brother Zhang Bao said. Zhang Bao is the most gentle of the three brothers. , comforting his brother.

"Sect Master, it's not too late, it seems that our uprising is going to advance." Zhang Bao suggested to Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao's appearance is the worst of the three brothers. He is only middle-aged and already looks like an old man, but no one here dares to look down on him, not even his two younger brothers.The development of Taiping Taoism to today's level is inseparable from Zhang Jiao.

"Then let's start it, let the government know the power of Taiping Taoism, and let them feel the wrath of the God of Yellow Sky." Zhang Jiao is not a sloppy person, and the situation in front of him can't tolerate him being rebellious.

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian is standing!" Zhang Jiao stood up and called out first.

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian is standing!" Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, and the other Qu Shuai shouted frantically.

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian stands!" Countless Yellow Turban cultists called out. They gathered into an army and launched an uprising with their dissatisfaction with the imperial court and their anger at the government.

Although Zhang Jiao had to start an uprising early because of the secret, but after years of preparation, they were well prepared and the government was caught off guard.In the face of the attack of the Yellow Turbans, many localities made efforts to respond and were unable to resist.

The rotten army of officers and soldiers collapsed at the touch of a button, and officials and officials who were greedy for life and fear of death abandoned the city and fled. Within a month of breaking up, the Yellow Turban Uprising spread from Jizhou to eight of the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty.The Yellow Turban team is growing every day, and countless farmers join the Yellow Turban every day.

Countless cities were breached, countless states and counties declared their loss, and urgent memorials flew towards the imperial court like snowflakes.The government and the opposition shake, the world (bgah) shakes...

"My lord, this is the information gathered from various places." Liu Zhe received the news of the Yellow Turban uprising in Jizhou the next day.Xiaoxingzhuang holds a meeting every day to report news and keep everyone up to date with the latest news.

"Within a month, the rebels claiming to be the Yellow Turbans were so powerful that they captured many places. The eight states of Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan were all caught in the flames of war."

"Among them, Qingzhou, Youzhou and Jizhou are the most serious. The officers and soldiers have been defeated again and again, and now they dare not fight. The yellow turban is like a locust. Wherever it goes, no armor or grass will grow." Xu Shu said, taking the yellow turban as an example Locusts to describe their destructive power.

"The officers and soldiers are so useless?" Xi Zhaoxi expressed doubts, "With our warning, they can't beat it, but they won't be defeated like this, right?" Xi Zhaoxi used to be a low-level peasant and didn't know much about the government. , only know that the government is oppressed and exploited.Xi Zhaoxi felt that if the officers and soldiers had half the combat effectiveness of bullying the common people, they would not be so miserable.

"Uncle, the officers and soldiers have long been incapable of being of great use, and those who are really capable of fighting are defending the capital." Xi Zhicai explained to Xi Zhaoxi, "As for the local army, it has long been rotten. It's okay for them to bully the common people, but when it comes to the Yellow Turban The rebels will soon reveal their true colors."

"One month," Xu Shu glanced at everyone present, then met Liu Zhe's eyes and said, "It will take at least a month for the imperial court to mobilize the army to suppress the rebellion. In other words, it will take at least a month for the momentum of the Yellow Turbans to be contained. …”

Xu Shu didn't finish what he said later, but Liu Zhe understood what he meant.

"This month is our most dangerous month, right?" Liu Zhe said, Xiaoxingzhuang has not been attacked by the Yellow Turbans yet, but everyone here knows that this will happen a long time ago.

The wealth of Xiaoxingzhuang has been well-known far and near, especially the spirits wheat liquor produced by Xiaoxingzhuang has become the only symbol of Xiaoxingzhuang.

With the personality of the Yellow Turbans, it is impossible to leave Xiaoxingzhuang without fighting.No one has come to attack for so long, which can only explain one problem. The Yellow Turbans are gathering strength to take down Xiaoxingzhuang in one fell swoop. .
