Chapter 360: Transaction

the restroom door and hurried over to stop them."Boss, this shop has gotten weird.""How do you speak" The fat man's voice was unpleasant, raising three points."What's wrong with you You, a big man, we...Jia Xu sent someone to Xuchang and, according to him...

Xiliang army leader Xu Chang had come at the summons, but he needed to get on good terms with Cao Cao first. At the very least, he needed to convince Cao Cao that he was there to do business, not to backstab him.

To Lu Cheng's surprise, Jia Xu not only had Cao Cao ask the Han emperor to confirm the imperial edict but also requested in his memorial that the court provide 50 carts of supplies for the construction of Luoyang.

Of course Cao Cao wouldn't agree to this condition. Isn't this like cutting off his own flesh

But if you wanted to open a window in the house, Cao Cao probably wouldn't agree. If you said you wanted to tear down the roof, the Prime Minister might actually consider it.

Cao Cao paced back and forth.

"My lord, although Lu Cheng and Hua Xiong are clueless, the Xiliang general Ma Teng is restless. Let us burn their lands and incite a conflict between them. This will ensure our rear remains secure while we engage Yuan Shao," advised the strategist.

"If they are going to betray Xuchang, what should we do" Cao Cao said.

"Absolutely not. Luoyang is in ruins, they've made enemies with Ma Teng, and seized Chang'an from Zhang Yang. They haven't even given an explanation about Jingzhou. The situation is dire, it's questionable if they can even maintain a foothold."

Cao Cao thought for a moment, Luoyang currently held no real strategic value. Obviously, Lü Cheng and Hua Xiong had been forced out by Ma Teng. Now they were still asking the court for supplies, probably because times were tough. In the short term, letting them stay in Luoyang would be more beneficial than harmful.

Tell them that they can stay in Luoyang temporarily, but there are no supplies. They will have to figure out how to procure them themselves. Cao Cao thought for a moment: "That's right, we must not cause chaos in Sili."

In that case, their only option might be to plunder Liangzhou, further escalating their relationship with Ma Teng. This is something Cao Cao would be very happy to see.

.......

Actually, what Cao Cao said wasn't entirely wrong.

Lu Cheng is really having a hard time.

To preserve the last capacity, almost all cards except for Ah Qing were withdrawn from the deck.

But this is all temporary.

To launch a large-scale card operation, implementing the plan of poisoning and laying mines, the preparation period is indeed very long.

Lu Cheng arrived in Jizhou first.

Here, you can see the handiwork of farmers from all walks of life. In this era, with the support of farmers, the Northern Army's food supply far surpassed that of the Southern Army, capable of sustaining a prolonged war.

Lu Cheng also discussed this issue with Jia Xu. Jia Xu believed that Yuan Shao's inevitable defeat was also due to this.

This person can't control their temper.

Mr. Yuan, you're defeated. Even Lu Cheng can't help you; he's here to learn.

The Hundred Family Order is not known to outsiders, but the holder of the Hundred Family Order, Beidou, can help them find each other within a certain range. They can help each other and improve their plans.

As soon as Lü Chengyi arrived in Jizhou, the Hundred Households Order immediately pinpointed the location of the holder of the Hundred Households Order from farming families.

To his surprise, Zu Shou and Tian Feng had actually mastered the skills of farming.

If Yuan Shao had listened to the two men's words in the book, he would not have been completely defeated at the Battle of Guandu.

Under the guidance of Bai Jialing, Lu Cheng soon arrived at Tian Feng's mansion.

Both armies are currently in a state of readiness. Tian Feng and Zu Shou were just overseeing the grain supply when they saw Lü Cheng. Tian Feng was also somewhat surprised to see him.

"General Lu, back then you defeated Lü Bu at Hu Laoguan, and your prowess remains undiminished! " Tian Feng laughed. "Unexpectedly, today I meet the Order of Mojia. The Order of Mojia has been missing for hundreds of years; we all thought it was extinct!"

Oh

Lu Cheng knew that the Mo family, as one of the three major craftsman families, had branches all over the place and their current head must be at least ten generations removed.

And he hasn't been in contact with his family for all these years.

It seems that many descendants of the Hundred Schools have come looking for news about the Mohist school.

This is also normal, in a turbulent era like the Three Kingdoms period, war weapons like siege engines are always popular.

"Not a break... Just took a nap... Just took a nap." Lu Cheng gave a chuckle: "This time I came here, according to custom, to exchange farming skills."

When the Hundred Schools of Thought gathered in Xianyang during the Qin Dynasty, some people were worried that the holders of the Mandate of Hundred Schools wouldn't produce anything genuine.

At the time, the Legalists proposed an exchange of skills of equal quality. This way, if one wanted to obtain advanced skills from another party, they would have to offer something that the other party found interesting in return.

"Well, I wonder what General Lü has that would interest me" Tian Feng asked.

"They are equipped with armored tigers and leopards, elite cavalry. Among them, the tiger riders bear fifteen kinds of extraordinary armor from various schools like soldiers, Taoists, artisans, and Gongshu masters. They are a formidable army. I wonder how you plan to counter them," Lu Cheng said calmly.

"The tiger riders are gone, we, with our halberds, stand ready. There is nothing to fear." Tian Feng shook his head, but as he said this, his heart leaped in alarm.

Lord Yuan Shao is overly confident and does not listen to others. To be honest, this battle still has some suspense.

And those Bingzhuang Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were Cao Cao's ace troops, they could be said to be the heart of Jizhou's troubles.....

Tiger and leopard cavalry are divided into tiger cavalry and leopard cavalry. The leopard cavalry comes and goes like the wind, but it is still comparable. The equipment of the tiger cavalry is difficult to match.

The Jiuzhou cavalry was completely unable to engage the Tiger Riders in a direct confrontation.

Can only be used passively with spear infantry to form a battle formation.... but it becomes quite passive in combat.

The Mohist is standing right in front of us. What does he want to say

"It's alright then." Lu Cheng got up and was about to leave.

"Alas!" Tian Feng cried, "General Lu, please wait a moment. You could tell us first."

Right

Lu Cheng sat down again.

Set up, will set up.

Anyway, since my social skills are zero and I'm not good at bargaining, why not just quote a price every time I do business If it works out, great! If not, so be it.

Lu Cheng took out a set of [Organ Sword-Edge Horse Armor].

The cavalry of the Imperial Guard is already a product of the last era, lagging 300 years behind.

According to card battle tournament standards, it should have been eliminated a long time ago. Lu Cheng also didn't intend to continue using the card armor in battles anymore. Card armor must be given to the best cards.

However, these horse armors were genuine products crafted by two masters. They were researched and developed in the [Truth Garden] without regard for materials. Lu Cheng was confident that even though he was 300 years behind, the equipment for his tiger riders could still rival those of the present day.

As expected, Tian Feng's gaze was immediately caught, he stretched his neck, wanting to have a look.

"Please, sir, take a closer look." Lu Cheng handed over the horse armor with both hands.

Tian Feng stretched out his hand to take it, but halfway through, he froze and awkwardly laughed twice: "General Lu is joking. I... am just a scholar of one term, I can't possibly wield armor!"

He's telling the truth, this clearly looks like heavy plate armor, not something an ordinary person could handle.

Even for a tiger rider, only a top-tier warhorse bred to excellence and reaching the level of a spirit beast could be equipped with such armor.

"Sir, it has a wind mechanism and spiritual energy engraved on it, and it's not heavy." Lu Cheng smiled mysteriously, weighing the horse armor in his hand.

When Tian Feng saw this, he hurried to take it. ...Sure enough, when he held it, even he could barely lift it. It was at least half the weight it was before.

Just on that alone, it's an extremely powerful thing.

speechless.

Lu Cheng knew, this time, the business was done!

()e. Just in time, please feed the fish for me. Ah Qing hasn't come over to practice swordsmanship yet." Meng Po glanced at Lu Cheng, then suddenly stopped, as if she had discovered something amiss: "Wa...
