My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 401 Xu Shu: Selling Arms, I'm Serious
"Damn it, I'm so angry when I say it, why should we accommodate him? Why doesn't he accommodate us?"

Yang Feng walked into the tent angrily, threw the cloak on the ground on his back, picked up the water bottle and took a gulp.

Tai Shici, who followed closely behind, also looked angry, found a chair and sat down, crossing his arms, feeling very upset.

Huang Zhong, who was at the end, frowned thickly, seeing Yang Feng's irritable appearance, said in a deep voice, "Calm down a bit."

Yang Feng let out a 'hum' and slammed the kettle on the table. He was still in awe of Huang Zhong.

This is a small border town on the west side of Wuwei, Liangzhou. It is surrounded by rammed earth and a small number of Han and Qiang people live there.

The second day after the army arrived here, they launched an offensive against the Qiang people.

The reason why Yang Feng and the others were angry was not because Longxiwei was ineffective on the battlefield.

On the contrary, because the Dragon Breath Guards were too lethal, Yuan Shu urgently transferred them back from the front line.

Yuan Shu had no choice but to make this decision.

What he wanted was the living, a large number of captives.

However, if Long Xiwei fired casually, a large number of Qiang people would be killed or injured. If the fight continues like this, the Yuan family will lose a lot.

"I knew that I would go to Yangzhou with Huang Xu, whoever likes to come to this bird place." Yang Feng still couldn't help it.

Both Huang Zhong and Tai Shici frowned, and they were also very unhappy. They wanted to make contributions, but they were transferred to the rear.

It would be fine if they didn't make any achievements, but the reason why they were transferred to the rear was because they killed too many enemies.

This shit!

When the three of them were unhappy.

Outside the camp, a convoy was being checked.

Knowing that it was the Wei family who came, the captain guarding the camp immediately had the wooden fence removed.

A young man got out of the carriage in the middle of the team. He looked refined and had a small goatee under his chin.

It was Xu Shu who came all the way from Shuofang.

"It's work."

"It should be, Governor Xu, please, the superior specifically explained this morning, let us prepare hot soup and food, and entertain everyone."

Xu Shuchao thanked the school lieutenant, walked into the camp with a few stewards, and found Huang Zhong and the others directly.

"That is……"

Yang Feng, who was sitting in the big tent, saw someone approaching from a distance, squinted his eyes for a while, and then stood up happily.

Huang Zhong and Tai Shici looked out following his movements, seeing Xu Shu suddenly appearing here, they also got up to greet him.

"Uncle Huang, Brother Yang, Ziyi, hahaha, long time no see." Xu Shu cupped his hands and smiled.

Huang Zhong and the others also had smiles on their faces, and Yang Feng asked Xu Shu why he came to such a place where no shit.

Xu Shu said with a smile: "In the name of Lord Wei, I will send you some good things."

When the three of them heard the words, they all looked curious, what good things could Shuofang have?
Xu Shu didn't show off, he just clapped his hands, and saw two men dressed as wrestlers walking forward with a box on their shoulders.

Seeing this, Huang Zhong glanced at the captain leading the way, pulled Xu Shu over, and said, "Come on, let's go in and talk."

The school lieutenant froze for a moment, then awkwardly bowed to Xu Shu, "Then don't bother me, Governor Xu is good to rest."

"Thank you." Xu Shu greeted with a smile.

After entering the big tent, Huang Zhong asked Tai Shici to lower the curtain.

There was a brazier in the tent, and there were vents on the roof, so it wasn't too dark.

Xu Shu motioned the two warriors to place the box far away from the brazier, and said, "Be careful, you don't dare to touch sparks."

"This is?"

"The second-generation Mercy Arrow is also called Rising Dragon Arrow."

The eyes of the three people brightened, but at the same time they were puzzled. They hurriedly opened the box and looked at the strange arrows in the box.

Xu Shu took out one, pointed to the arrow on the arrow that resembled a thunderbolt, and said, "This lime pellet is the key to the Rising Dragon Arrow. With the time-delay wire, it only needs to explode above the enemy's formation. The effect is amazing, haha .”

···
Liangzhou border.

Yuan Shu walked out of the prisoner-of-war camp with his brows furrowed.

"No way, even if there is no Dragon's Rest Guard, the Longshan Army and Tiger Soul Army are too lethal. These captives with missing arms and legs are useless at all, and they are a waste of food."

Counselor Yan Xiang cupped his hands and said, "My lord, if it's really not possible, how about letting them use blunt weapons?"

Yuan Shu shook his head, "That's not right, we have already offended Longxiwei, if Longshan Army and Tiger Soul Army are displeased again, I'm afraid they will leave us and leave tomorrow."

Hearing this, Yan Xiang sighed helplessly, and said: "But if we continue to kill like this, even if we kill for three hundred miles, so what, we agreed at the beginning, as long as people, don't want land, won't we be the ones who suffer in the end?"

Yuan Shu had a headache because of this. He thought that the Qiang people would surrender in fear of death, but they did not expect that they would fight and retreat without fear of death.

If it's just a general siege, that's fine.

But now they are doing business. What Yuan Shu wants are captives. No matter how much land he lays down, it will be useless to him.

"Oh, it really doesn't work, let our people go up by themselves. As for the Longshan Army and the Tiger Soul Army, let them hold the line on both sides."

Yan Xiang frowned, and sighed: "If this is the case, then our people are destined to suffer a lot of casualties, and I am afraid that the gains will not be worth the losses."

Yuan Shu also sighed again and again, but he really had no other choice, the family was still waiting for him to bring a large number of prisoners back for production.

rumbling~
The ground suddenly trembled, and everyone looked for the sound, only to see a burst of dust flying in the east, and the sound of horseshoes.

Yuan Shu frowned slightly, and after a while, he said in a deep voice, "Why are the people from Longxiwei here again?"

The sudden movement attracted the attention of many people, even Lu Bu, Xu Huang and others who were resting were also startled.

Seeing Huang Zhong and others go and return, the members of Longshan Army and Tiger Soul Army all ran out.

"Uncle Han, this is, hey, Yuan Zhi is here too!"

Seeing Xu Shu, Xu Huang stepped forward with a smile and said, "Is Shuofang not busy?"

Xu Shu got off his horse, clasped his hands and said with a smile, "It's basically stable over there, brother Xu, Zongbing Lu." He nodded to Xu Huang and Lu Bu.

Xu Huang patted Xu Shu on the shoulder, and Lv Bu was not very familiar with him, so he responded with a smile.

At this time, Yuan Shu came up with people, glanced at Xu Shu, and looked at Xu Huang who was beside him.

Xu Huang hastily introduced the two sides.

Knowing that Xu Shu was entrusted with important tasks by Wei Cheng at a young age, Yuan Shu couldn't help but look at Xu Shu with admiration.

At the same time, he was even more curious about why Longxiwei followed.

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Oh, it's like this. There just happened to be a new weapon to be tested, so Xu asked Longxiwei to follow him. Don't worry, General Yuan, it won't delay your westward journey."

Yuan Shu even said it's okay.

Xu Shu didn't show any politeness to him, but exchanged pleasantries with Xu Huang and others, and invited with a smile: "Brother Xu, do you want to go for a walk together?"

Xu Huang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw Huang Zhong winking at him, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's go and see what new weapons are, and you have to run so far yourself, hahaha."

Yuan Shu, Yan Xiang and the others looked at each other.

Yan Xiang took a step forward and said: "I have always been yearning for the magic weapon developed by Wei Jun. I wonder if I can go with me and pay my respects?"

Xu Shu smiled and nodded, "Of course, it's not a secret."

Yan Xiang looked at Xu Shu's smiling face and couldn't help being startled, always feeling that there was something inexplicable in this smile.

···
···
The sound of war drums resounded through the sky.

Not far away was an earthen fortress, and the Qiang cavalry even rushed out, looking ready to fight.

Yuan Shu and the others looked curiously at the Dragon's Breath Guard ahead, curious about the so-called new weapon.

呲~
Suddenly there was a pungent smell in the air.

Before Yuan Shu and the others could react, they saw Longxiwei's men suddenly shoot a white volley at the Qiang people.

Yuan Shu was shocked at first, but he was relieved when he saw that it was just an arrow, not some Thunder Dragon cannon.

But just before he could catch his breath.

Boom boom boom!
The familiar explosion sound sounded again.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu hurried forward and shouted, "Be merciful, be merciful."

Yuan Shu behaved like this, if he knew it, he was attacking the city, but if he didn't know it, he thought he was saving people at Caishikou.

Right now.

The Longshan Army and Tiger Soul Army moved, and a total of two thousand cavalry came out to surround the Qiang people who were on their backs.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu was even more frightened, and shouted: "Don't, keep people under the sword!"

It's a pity that his voice was covered by the roaring hooves of the horses, and when the people rode to the front of the formation, the Longshan Army and the Tiger Soul Army had already surrounded the thousands of Qiang people.

Only then did Yuan Shu realize something was wrong.

I saw those Qiang people rolling on the ground covering their faces one by one. There was no blood on their bodies. What was the explosion just now?

When Yuan Shu was in a daze, the men from the Longshan Army and the Tiger Soul Army got off their horses one by one, and put the shackles they had prepared on the Qiang people's ankles. On average, a pair of shackles can hold five people, and soon thousands of Qiang people became a prisoner of war.

In the earth fortress in the distance, the leader of the Qiang people also noticed something was wrong, and when he was about to lead people out to rescue them, the men of the Longshan Army and the Tiger Soul Army had already mounted their horses and were ready to fight.

At the same time, Xu Shu looked back at Yuan Shu and said, "General Yuan wants prisoners of war, so I'll give them to you, ha ha."

Yuan Shu swallowed his throat, looked at those Qiang people who were furious but unable to get rid of their shackles in disbelief, and stammered, "This, this is taken down. How did you do it?"

Xu Shu didn't hide it either, and directly threw a Rising Dragon Arrow over, and roughly explained the function of the lime powder.

However, he will definitely not disclose the method of making the projectile, which is a secret.

Quicklime is easy to find, but how to pack them in the projectile and then blow it away when it explodes is a matter of knowledge.

Hearing this, Yuan Shu rejoiced and said: "Hahaha, that's great, with the help of the Rising Dragon Arrow, we will be able to win easily."

The corner of Xu Shu's mouth raised a triumphant smile.

Then, he directly poured cold water on Yuan Shu, saying: "Then it may disappoint General Yuan. The Rising Dragon Arrow is not easy to make, not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive. The cost is still high. This time it is just to test its desired effect. It’s not enough to equip the whole army.”

When Yuan Shu heard this, he was stunned on the spot.

Xu Shu then said: "Okay, looking at it now, the effect of the Dragon Arrow is remarkable, so it's time for Xu to go back, everyone, take your leave."

Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Lu Bu and others looked at each other, and at the same time smiled and saluted Xu Shu, "Let's send Governor Xu off."

Xu Shu nodded with a smile, pulled the rein of the horse, and was about to turn around and leave.

Now Yuan Shu couldn't sit still, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Wait, wait, Governor Xu wait a moment."

Xu Shu pretended to be puzzled, "What is General Yuan's order?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, Governor Xu, be safe and don't be impatient."

Yuan Shu turned his head to look at Yan Xiang.

Yan Xiang understood, and hurriedly rode to the front, got off the horse, randomly selected a few prisoners of war, and confirmed their injuries.

Seeing that their eyes were red and weeping, and their skin had some burn marks, but they were fine, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Then he turned his head and nodded heavily with Yuan Shu.

When Yuan Shu saw this, his eyes lit up, he got off his horse, ran up to Xu Shu, and said, "Mr. Xu, can I take a step to speak?"

Xu Shu put on a hesitant look, and Yuan Shu became even more anxious when he saw this.

"Governor Xu, you have come from such a long distance, and Yuan Mou just sent you away in order to have time to cleanse you up. If this is the case, Wei Jun will find out later, and I am afraid that Yuan Mou will be blamed."

Then Xu Shu nodded helplessly, and said: "Well, Xu originally wanted to deliver goods to Old General Huangfu as soon as possible, since General Yuan has repeatedly invited him, Xu's kindness is hard to turn down, so let's leave a day later. "

Yuan Shu was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know if it's the delivery to the old general...could it be this Dragon Arrow?"

Xu Shu nodded slightly, and said, "It's the Rising Dragon Arrow."

Yuan Shu frowned slightly, and asked, "Is Mr. Wei a bit more biased? Why did you give it to the old general, but why can't you leave some for Yuan?"

Xu Shu couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "General Yuan, Xu is the governor of Shuofang, not a member of the Longshan Army or the Tiger Soul Army. Besides, this Dragon Arrow was custom-made by the old general in Shuofang. It must be accommodated to you."

Yuan Shu was at a loss for words for a moment, he hesitated and said, "Isn't this Rising Dragon Arrow manufactured?"

"Of course not. This is from my Shuofang. Even if my family wants it, I have to pay for it. When did it become a production?"

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows, and said impatiently: "General Yuan, Xu is going to deliver goods to the old general. This is the wind wine, so you don't need to drink it."

Seeing Xu Shu leave angrily, Yuan Shu stood there in embarrassment.

Seeing that Xu Shu was really about to leave, he hurriedly shouted: "Dujun Xu, Dujun Xu, I don't know how much these Dragon Arrows cost. I, Yuan Shi, also want to order a batch." He said and chased after Xu Shu.

Hearing this, Xu Shu tightened the reins and looked back at him with a businesslike look.

"If the general really wants to buy it, Xu can give you the same price as the old general, five hundred cash a piece, or two sheep. Of course, we will collect cattle, sheep, and horses, and they will be replaced according to the market price. , no one suffers."

Yuan Shu nodded, and asked again: "Five hundred wen a piece is not expensive, but I don't know how many arrows were shot in total?"

Xu Shu looked at Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong cupped his fists and said, "I just shot a total of one hundred dragon-rising arrows."

Yuan Shu thought in his mind: [-] Rising Dragon Arrows only cost [-] copper coins, but they can get you thousands of prisoners of war. It's worth it!

"Okay, okay, just follow this price. Someone ordered two thousand first, no, five thousand dragon-rising arrows, when will they be delivered?"

The corners of Xu Shu's mouth raised slightly, he got off his horse, with a humble and polite attitude, he cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Since General Yuan wants it, someone will send it tomorrow."

"Uh... can it be delivered tomorrow?"

Yuan Shu opened his mouth, feeling strange.
