Chapter 720 Cao Cao is so shameless
Chapter 720: Cao Cao is so shameless (second update)
Although the troops led by Chen Da were elite, there were too few after all, and there were only one thousand people added up. Now he finally got the opportunity.
Kou Feng planned to let him command the crossbow soldiers.
Of course, Chen Da is not the most brave one. But Chen Da is the most reliable one. You can tell by his years of management of the Po Military Camp and his loyalty.
Therefore, he is the commander of the crossbow soldiers.
When everyone gathered, Kou Feng took out a few drawings and the crossbow.
"Come around." Kou Feng stood on the floor in the middle with these things, and then knelt down casually.
Although Mi Zhu, Zhang Dao, Chen Da and others were confused, they knelt over without any hesitation.
"You see, this is a crossbow invented by Mrs. Gu. It can carry ten iron arrows and fire ten times. It is not ten times, but ten times. It can kill ten people. Whether it is power or range, it is not inferior to ordinary crossbows. How about it?" Kou Feng held the crossbow of Chu and said with a smile.
What Kou Feng said was a bit fantastic. There were already four or five consecutive crossbows in this era, but they were only launched at one time.
It was to shoot four or five arrows onto one person. I had never heard of it. It could fire four or five consecutive crossbows one after another, let alone ten.
That is equivalent to a person carrying ten crossbows. In fighting with the enemy, no, in fighting with the enemy cavalry, what a huge power it is.
Not to mention Chen Da, the general who led the army, even Mi Zhu and Zhang Dao were trembling and excited. However, although Kou Feng was a fantasy, no one believed that since Kou Feng had said it, there must be something wrong.
"If so, this is really a weapon for the country." Mi Zhu said excitedly.
"This can be effective in the face of cavalry or infantry. The generals entering Shu have smoothed all the way." Chen Da was even more excited, and he had the urge to laugh three times.
"Haha, that's true. However, this little thing has some flaws." Kou Feng couldn't help but feel relieved when everyone knew the power of this crossbow. Then, he explained the flaws of these crossbows one by one.
"If this is the case, you should be careful to protect yourself. Moreover, the amount is even larger. Otherwise, it will not be easy to face tens of thousands of cavalry from the enemy." After Kou Feng finished speaking, Chen Da was exactly the same as Kou Feng thought for the general's sake.
Protect carefully in daily life to avoid damage to the crossbow. The amount should be huge and it should form effective lethality.
The cost is not within Chen Da's consideration.
"I am just thinking about this. I plan to fight ten thousand in a row. As for recruiting soldiers, I will leave it to you, the general of the army." Kou Fenghan nodded with a smile, and expressed his trust in Chen Dadao.
"I will be lucky enough to be unlucky." Chen Da agreed happily and said.
"But, Master, this is expensive." Mi Zhu, who is in charge of finance, said with a sad face.
Now the finances of Chu have just become rich by relying on the books of Chu and the salt tax. The number of crossbows has increased by 10,000, plus the horseshoes, stirrups to be built, and the 20,000 soldiers Zhao Yun is responsible for recruiting. The financial situation of Chu will become average again.
It made Mi Zhu feel very distressed.
"If you have money, you have to spend it. Don't be a slave to the wealth. There is no good ending." Kou Feng shook his head and said solemnly.
"No." Mi Zhu actually knew that it was the reason. In troubled times, it was not the time to reserve money, but the main focus was on how to spend money. For example, Liu Biao was in charge of Jingzhou for many years and was rich enough to rival the country. But as a result, overnight, his property was occupied by Kou Feng, Cao Cao and others.
Therefore, I quickly figured it out and Yingnuo said.
"The recruitment of craftsmen is left to Wuyi." After Kou Feng took over Mi Zhu, he turned around and shouted Zhang Dao's words and reminded him.
"promise."
Zhang Dao had no pressure. He was just in charge of the craftsman and replied very readily.
Immediately, Kou Feng arranged the details and told the three of them to cooperate with each other and not to feel distressed. He should recruit soldiers and make the crossbow army established in a very short period of time.
At that time, the iron cavalry with Zhao Yun will be the two wings of Chu State and the wings of the country.
Soon, Zhang Dao, Mi Zhu and Chen Daduo went down. Kou Feng planned to forge 10,000 continuous crossbows and build 10,000 continuous crossbow soldiers. This put a lot of pressure on the three of them.
Finance, recruitment, and forging all take time.
Although Chu Guo is in Tai now, the three of them still think that the earlier the better.
After the three of them left, Kou Feng sat down alone in the study, his eyes slightly deep.
The so-called victory first and then fight.
In the near future, the State of Chu will have 30,000 cavalry and 10,000 crossbow soldiers. The crossbow soldiers can not only be used to fight with the Western Liang cavalry, but also have a place to use their skills in the mountainous Shu area.
It should be a weapon of the country.
Thinking of this, Kou Feng couldn't help but be ambitious.
Now the State of Chu is gradually on track and its army is gradually becoming more abundant. It can be said that the troops are strong and the horses are strong. Once the east wind arrives, you can attack Shu.
The new Chu State must be a vast country, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, and Yizhou, how majestic.
Kou Feng's eyes couldn't help but burn.

The 16th year of Jian'an, winter.
Cao Cao defeated the coalition forces of Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, Wuhuan people, Gongsun Kang and others in the north. Although Kou Feng later responded in the south, he went north with a large army to enter Xudu, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, etc., which forced Cao Cao to return to the army to rescue.
However, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were still beheaded, and the Wuhuan people were seriously injured. Gongsun Kang had suffered a lot of casualties. He retreated to Liaodong and blocked the attack of Cao Cao's general Zhang Liao with the danger of Liaodong.
Since then, the Yuan family's power has completely disappeared from the Central Plains.
Only the Yanhou Gongsun Kang was left in the north, but his morale was not high. The situation in Cao Wei was slightly better.
This incident happened a few months later from the north to Yizhou.
Yizhou Chengdu, on Fazheng's mansion.
Fa Zheng sat in the study with a frown. Now that the situation in Cao Wei has improved, it means that the situation in Chu has become worse.
If Duke Chu had a siege, he could not enter Western Shu before Cao Cao put down Ma Teng and Han Sui, and then the environment of Chu would become harsh.
Now that Fa Zhengxin belongs to the State of Chu, it is naturally considered for Chu.
"I don't want Cao Cao to be defeated several times by Gong Chu, but his heroism is still there. Gongsun Kang, Wuhuan people and other hundreds of thousands of soldiers were defeated by him once. Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were also beheaded on the spot." Fa Zheng frowned and sighed.
Just as Fa Zheng was thinking about the current situation, a servant came in and reported: "Master, Liu Yizhou sent someone to summon him."
"Prepare the car." Fa Zheng nodded and waved.
Immediately, he sorted out his clothes and walked out. After a while, he took a carriage to the governor's mansion.
When Fa Zheng arrived, many officials had gathered in the hall of the governor's mansion.
Among them, Huang Quan, Wu Yi, Zheng Du, Zhang Song and others were all there. As the main leader, Liu Zhang, was of course also there. However, Fa Zheng was not concerned about these people, but another person.
This person has a white face and no beard, has a slender figure and extraordinary momentum. He is very handsome.
After taking his eyes off this man, Fa Zheng realized that Liu Zhang was different today and looked very happy.
"It's almost done." Seeing Fa Zheng coming in, Liu Zhang nodded with satisfaction, and then introduced: "This is the general under Cao Gong's tent, Man Chong, and Mr. Man Boning." As he said that, Liu Zhang paused and sighed: "Now that the Mi thief Zhang Lu is in rebellion, Cao Gong, as the prime minister, is very concerned about the war in the southwest. Some time ago, he developed a Wei sword that can compete for the Chu sword in the State of Chu. He traveled thousands of mountains and rivers and sent Mr. Boning over and brought Wei sword and more than a hundred blacksmiths."
"The Prime Minister is worthy of being the pillar of the Han Dynasty that holds the sky." All the ministers were both surprised and happy and complimented.
With the rise of Kou Feng, the Chu Dao he relied on to be the leader has become famous all over the world. It can be said that everyone knows it, everyone knows it.
Now that Yizhou is fighting with Hanzhong, Yizhou is obviously defeated. Although Zhang Ren has made many achievements in the north, he is still at a disadvantage overall.
Now that Wei Dao can be helped by Chu Dao, he should be able to defeat Zhang Lu.
How come everyone is not excited?
Everyone was excited and happy. Only wise men such as Fa Zheng, Huang Quan, and Zheng Du watched coldly.
These three people are rare wise men in Yizhou, and it can be seen that Cao Cao's intentions are coming at once. This is because Cao Cao has Ma Teng ahead of him, and Han Sui is in trouble. If Teng can't take action, he will deal with Yizhou.
He was also afraid that Yizhou would be weak and Kou Feng would take advantage of the situation to attack him, so he spared no effort to take the Wei Dao he had finally developed.
In order to allow Yizhou to have some self-protection power, at least it has to wait until Cao Cao pacified Ma Teng and Han Suihou.
And it has nothing to do with preserving Liu Zhang and resisting Zhang Lu.
Who is Zhang Lu? Among the heroes in the world, he is just a clown.
"Cao Gong Shengyi. General Man Boning even came to Yizhou without hesitation. Lord." Zhang Song first hugged his fists to the north, and then said to Liu Zhang: "If the heroes rise up today, they do not respect the Han Dynasty. But Cao Gong respects the Han Dynasty and is a model in the world. Now Shengyi, we should take the opportunity to contact Cao Gong to show our loyalty to the Han Dynasty."
The one who is most excited is probably Zhang Song.
He is a hardcore Cao surrender.
Now Cao Cao has also shown kindness to Liu Zhang. In Zhang Song's opinion, this is an excellent opportunity. Thinking about his mind, he has very detailed information about the care and military care in Yizhou.
Zhang Song felt extremely hot inside.
As long as you dedicate this information to Cao Gong, you should have made contributions to Yizhou. Not only will you be outstanding in your achievements, but you can also protect yourself in this troubled times.
It's really the best of both worlds.
"Don't let Mr. Zhang do you?" Man Chong raised his fist to Zhang Song. Yes, Cao Cao's purpose was to support Liu Zhang and resist Kou Feng.
When he came, he learned in detail about the faces of some officials in Yizhou, and Zhang Song naturally recognized them.
"That's right." Zhang Song clasped his fists and said politely.
"I've been hiding for a long time." Man Chong smiled at Zhang Song and said. Then, he said to Liu Zhang: "Mr. Cao often has this intention, saying that Liu Yizhou is in the southwest and has made outstanding achievements. He is the southwest of Yongzhen and is the Marquis of Shu."
