Douluo: Wuhun Zhuge Wuhou, Breaking Bad

Chapter 8 Bibi Dong: Sir, you are truly a god!

"When marching to war, money is secondary. The most important thing is food. Once the food is cut off, the army will collapse without a fight."

"I know this." Bibi Dong sighed and said helplessly:
"Although our Spirit Hall is powerful, it cannot compare with the two great empires in terms of wealth."

Therefore, if the Spirit Hall wants to go to war with the two empires, it must fight a blitzkrieg and not a protracted war.

In other words, if the Spirit Hall has sufficient financial resources, it can ensure a continuous supply of food to the army.

Then the army of Spirit Hall will be invincible.

After all, who wouldn’t be shocked to see an army that can neither be defeated nor outlasted?

Zhuge Jun nodded gently, "The wooden ox and flowing horse can just help your Holiness solve this problem."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"As far as I know, the grain transport teams of various countries' armies are at least several hundred people per team, with groups of ten people. It is time-consuming and laborious. If they encounter steeper terrain, it will greatly increase the difficulty."

Although the empty city plan a few years ago amazed the world, only Zhuge Jun himself knew the truth.

On the one hand, it was because the army of the Xing Luo Empire was frightened and did not dare to attack rashly.

Second, the food and grass from the Xing Luo Empire had not arrived yet. If they did not retreat, the army would starve.

Never underestimate hunger. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people.

Soldiers are also human beings. They will make trouble when they are hungry, and in serious cases, they may even cause mutiny.

It was because of these two reasons that the Xingluo Empire withdrew its troops.

Just imagine, if the Xing Luo Empire had enough food and grass back then, even if it was intimidated by him, it would not dare to attack the city for the time being.

But it is still possible to station and observe a few miles away. At that time, the outcome is uncertain.

"Sir, you are right."

Bibi Dong nodded. She also knew that this was a stupid way to transport grain.

But there is really no way out of the impasse. If we don't use stupid methods, the army will starve.

Similarly, no matter whether it is other empires or sects, once a war breaks out, no one will be stupid enough to use soul masters to transport food.

Because soul masters are the main force, asking them to transport food is equivalent to cutting off one's own arm, which is not worth the loss.

Zhuge Jun waved his feather fan and asked with a smile, "May I ask Your Holiness, how much food can a grain transport team of ten transport at a time?"

Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment and said, "About 100 kilograms."

The grain carts were too slow and needed to be pulled by horses and pushed by people, which was really very laborious and time-consuming.

And we have to ensure that there are no accidents, so about 100 kilograms is the limit.

"I would like to ask your Holiness, how many kilograms of food can a grain transport team of several hundred people transport in total?"

"Probably several thousand kilograms."

"And the speed is extremely slow, and it will take a lot longer if you encounter complex terrain."

Zhuge Jun pointed at his wooden ox and flowing horse, "This thing only needs two people to use it, and it can carry about 200 kilograms of grain at a time."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong's breathing subconsciously became heavier. She stepped forward and grabbed Zhuge Jun's hand.

"Sir... do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know." Feeling the soft and boneless hand in his hand, Zhuge Jun smiled calmly: "The most important thing is that even if we encounter steep terrain, the wooden ox and horse can walk on flat ground, and it won't delay much time."

"Sir, I know you're eager to show off, but this..."

At this moment, Bibi Dong felt as if a bucket of water was poured over her.

It is already not easy to defeat ten people with the strength of two people. Now he says that time can be accelerated. This is nonsense.

It's like it takes ten goblins to capture a female knight, but now Zhuge Jun says it only takes two.

And it is more efficient, and the female knight has higher fertility.

This sounds ridiculous. How can such a thing exist in the world? Even if it does exist, then the person who invented it is no different from a god, right?

Zhuge Kongming: ...I am so sorry for my disrespect. I am not a god, but just a common countryman.

"..."

"Someone, load the food up."

Under Zhuge Jun's arrangement, the guards loaded two hundred kilograms of grain into the wooden ox and horse.

Then, under Zhuge Jun's instructions, the two guards began to control the wooden ox and horse one after another.

Immediately, Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly shrank and her mouth opened slightly.

Because in her sight, this thing that looked neither like a cow nor a horse actually started walking.

And the speed is very fast, even much faster than human power.

Zhuge Jun smiled faintly and said, "What do you think, Your Holiness?"

"Sir...you are truly a god!"

Bibi Dong is worthy of being the most capable Pope in the history of the Spirit Hall. After looking for a while, she discovered that the wooden ox and flowing horse concealed huge business opportunities.

This thing can transport food for a large number of troops with such high efficiency that it is no exaggeration to call it a divine object.

She believed that as long as she asked, the two empires would be willing to buy it even if it cost one thousand gold soul coins.

Because once the army has this thing, they will have no worries. It is a treasure that will solve their problems once and for all.

Zhuge Jun shook his head. "I am not a god, just a scholar. I just don't know if the great priest will be satisfied with this thing."

"He will be satisfied."

Bibi Dong's face flushed with excitement and she grabbed Zhuge Jun's hand again.

From the look on her face, it seemed like she wanted to say something but she held back.

Zhuge Jun smiled and said, "Your Holiness, what the Pope wants to say is that this thing is good and can be exchanged for a huge amount of money, but once a war breaks out and the two empires also use this thing, the Spirit Hall will be in big trouble, right?"

"Well, um...sir, do you have any solution?" Bibi Dong felt a little embarrassed.

After all, she didn't do anything, she just watched.

Now that the thing has been brought out, not only can she not help, but she also has to ask for their solution.

No matter how you look at it, this is freeloading, and it's a bit embarrassing even if you're thick-skinned.

"Your Holiness, please look."

Zhuge Jun walked up to the wooden ox and horse, reached out and touched its belly, and then the wooden ox and horse stopped moving.

No matter how hard the two guards tried, it didn't move at all.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong was shocked again.

If this is the case, it seems that the Spirit Hall will rise completely and the two empires will be the leeks.

There is no point in the two empires fighting over something that can only be used by ourselves.

Not only can the Spirit Hall make a huge sum of money for free, but when a war breaks out, it can also cut off food supplies and completely destroy the logistics of the two empires.

"Your Holiness, don't worry about someone imitating it, because I can guarantee that I am the only one in the world who can make the wooden ox and horse."

In other words, this is Zhuge's patent, others cannot learn it or make it out.

"Sir, you are a genius." Bibi Dong was very excited and said directly:

"What reward do you want, sir? Whether it's gold, silver, treasures, or rare soul beasts, or even soul beasts that are 100,000 years old, as long as you ask, I will get it for you."

"I..." Zhuge Jun was about to speak.

But Bibi Dong seemed to suddenly think of something and added:

"Or do you want a beautiful woman? Oh, as long as you ask, I will find a way to get a princess from any country and give her to you!"
