When Xu Da and Su Lie woke up, Yuan Shao introduced them to each other again. Finally, he called Uncle Fu over and asked him to take out the 30 catties of Meteoric Iron that Su Shuang had offered and give it to Xu Da, instructing him,"Second brother, take all these black iron and find the best blacksmith in Luoyang City to forge a long spear and a big knife. It's best if you can make a blood mark on the tip and blade, understand?”
"Big brother, why is this?" Xu Da couldn't understand.
"That's right, Eldest Brother. Second Brother's spear is too light, so it won't be easy to use it.”Su Lie also shouted.
"I can't explain it in a short time. It's mainly because when killing enemies, it's easy to pull it out of the human body. It can prevent the weapon from rolling over or even breaking.”Yuan Shao explained carefully.
"Alright, I understand. Third Brother and I will go now.”After Xu Da said that, he wanted to drag Su Lie to find a blacksmith.
"Wait, don't be anxious. Take this with you and go to the Commandant's Department of the Central Army. Find Han Sheng and ask him how to make a broadsword.”Yuan Shao pulled Xu Da and took out three pieces of horseshoe gold and five pieces of horseshoe silver from his sleeves, handing them over to Xu Da.
"Big brother, this is…"
"That's right. Big Brother is forging a weapon. This money is too much.”
"If you leave behind a piece of horseshoe gold and two pieces of horseshoe silver, how can my brother not have expenses when he goes out? Give the rest to Han Sheng. He needed money to train his soldiers.”Yuan Shao opened his arms and hugged Xu. The two of them spoke in such a low tone.
" Big brother!!!" Xu Da. The two of them sobbed, and tears the size of beans moistened the corners of their eyes.
"Alright, we're all good brothers. Don't cry and make a fool of yourself.”Yuan Shao loosened his grip and punched each of them.
"I've made a fool out of myself." Xu Da used his sleeve to wipe away the tears at the corners of his eyes as he cupped his fists at Fang Xuanling.
"No, I can't! No! No! My lord and the two generals have a deep brotherly relationship, and I'm very envious.”Du Ji spoke first.
"Alright, Tiande, Dingfang, it's time for you to set off.”Fang Xuanling stepped forward and bowed to Xu Da.
"Third brother, let's go." After saying that, Xu Da pulled Su Lie out of the door and rode on Rouge Blood and Maple Dew Purple, which the servants had brought over, and sped into the distance.
"Ding dong! [The System has issued a side mission. Host, please pay attention to receive it. Side Mission 1: Within seven days, recruit a local military general or strategist from the three countries. The requirement is that the person must have at least 90 points in one of the four dimensions. [Mission Reward: Unknown] [Side Mission 2: Within 30 days, recruit three local generals or strategists from the three countries. The requirement is that one of the three of them has at least 80 points in the fourth dimension.] [Mission Reward: Unknown] [Side Mission 3: Marry a woman with a Charm Value of 90 and above and have sex with her within a year.] [Mission Reward: Unknown] [Main Mission: Within two years, the population under the Host's rule must reach two million, with an army of more than 200,000 people. Mission Difficulty: [A ] If the mission fails, the host will be killed! Host, please take note." The System Pixie had come to cause trouble for Yuan Shao again…No, it should be said that it was causing trouble.
Yuan Shao couldn't help but have a few black lines appear on his forehead. All unknown? Unknown? Moreover, there was a time limit. "Oh right, Little Fairy, this side quest won't have a kill, right?”Yuan Shao seemed to have thought of something and asked in his heart without batting an eyelid.
" That won't happen. I've already said it before. The rewards are random. Moreover, these are all beneficial to the Host. Why wouldn't the Host be happy to do it?"
"Right, what is this charm value?”
"Host, you should have heard of the highest evaluation of women in ancient times. It could be said that women with a charm value of 90 and above were all peerless beauties. However, whether or not he could chase after her would depend on the host's ability. Hehe.”The elf suddenly laughed.
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. I still have things to do.”
"Today, mister and marquis should have a good rest. Uncle Fu, send someone to make the arrangements. And Boss Su. Boss Zhang, in the future, you still have to do horse trading, but it can't be too concentrated. If possible, do business with the Xianbei people and use the silk from the Central Plains. Porcelain. Salt and other items can be used to exchange for their warhorses.”Yuan Shao turned around and faced Su Shuang. Zhang Shiping instructed.
Warhorses were considered a luxury item in ancient times. Otherwise, why would Gongsun Zan only have 3,000 " white horse followers "? Cao Mengde also had 3,000 Tiger Leopard Cavalry, and the reason was that he couldn't afford them! Or rather, they couldn't buy warhorses. In this era, horses were more valuable than human lives.
"Yes!" Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping looked at each other and bowed to Yuan Shao at the same time.
"Alright, Mister must have worked hard on the journey. Rest early. Dian Wei, go and call Li Guo and Fan Yong along. Carry enough rations and water. We'll go out of the city to Qiao Country to look for a warrior.”Yuan Shao said with his hands behind his back.
"I know, I'll go prepare now.”Dian Wei didn't ask why, he cupped his fists and left.
"My lord is going to Qiao Country. This is the territory of Yuzhou. "Could it be…" Du Ji hadn't gone far when he heard Yuan Shao's words and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Find the wise men! It seemed that the lord was ambitious!
" Eldest Young Master, then once Old Master and Second Old Master return…" Uncle Fu immediately gathered them together and asked when he saw Yuan Shao leaving.
"How about this, seven days. Give me seven days. Once he…is not around, I will return immediately. Please tell father and uncle that Shao has his own reasons for doing this. I hope they can understand.”Yuan Shao held Uncle Fu's wrinkled hand as childhood memories surfaced in his mind.
"Eldest Young Master, you must take care of yourself. I'll pass the message to Old Master and Mr. Fang. Do you need me to tell him?”Uncle Fu suddenly thought of Fang Qiao and asked.
"No need. Teacher already knows. You just have to tell my second and third brothers that they must wait for me to return.”
"This old servant…understands."
Soon, Dian Wei brought the horses over, followed by Li Guo and Fan Yong. The two of them were carrying seven days 'worth of dry rations and cowhide water bags.
Yuan Shao mounted his horse and pulled the reins with his right hand. He shouted,"Let's go to Qiao Country's Qiao County!"
Go! The group of people sped towards the east gate…
After leaving Luoyang's east gate, Yuan Shao and his group traveled at full speed. Two hours later, they arrived at Tiger Cage Pass. Yuan Shao and his group did not stay at Tiger Cage Pass for long and continued to travel east, riding at top speed.
Ever since the system had issued the side quest, Yuan Shao's mind had been spinning rapidly, thinking of a suitable candidate. Generally speaking, generals were easier to recruit than strategists, and most generals were single-minded. Once they recognized a master, they would not betray. There were quite a few local generals in the three kingdoms whose martial strength was above ninety, but those who could be found and recruited within seven days were very few. After seeing Dian Wei, Yuan Shao suddenly thought of Xu Chu, who was equally famous as Dian Wei.
Xu Chu's surname is Zhongkang. After Dian Wei's death, Cao Mengde's safety had always been under his responsibility. Moreover, Xu Chu had once fought against Ma Mengqi, the brocade of Western Liang.
At sunset, Yuan Shao and his group arrived at Xu County, Yanzhou. They found a decent inn there and settled down.
At dawn the next day, Yuan Shao and his group set off from Xu County once again. They galloped for a day, passing through Liang County, passing through Mangdang Mountain, and finally arrived at Pei Country at sunset.
"Li Guo. Fan Yong, you guys go to the city and find an inn. Let them boil hot water first and prepare some food. We'll take a good bath later.”Yuan Shao used a handkerchief to wipe the sand from his forehead and ordered Li Guo and Li Li.
"Yes!"
"My lord, have some water." Dian Wei handed the leather water bag from the Snow Green Horse to Yuan Shao, then picked up one himself and drank it in big gulps.
"Alright, aiya, this journey is really…a lot of enlightenment. The world is really difficult!”Yuan Shao took the cowhide water bag and opened the lid without hesitation. He gulped it down.
Yuan Shao had not only worn out his thighs, but the scorching sun had also scorched the ground, making it look like a giant steamer. In addition, they saw countless refugees dragging their families along the way. There were even many white-haired elders who starved to death by the roadside.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was hell on earth. Yuan Shao was very touched. For him from the modern era, he did not even dare to imagine such a scene. Therefore, Yuan Shao could only distribute some flatbread to those refugees who had families.
This caused countless refugees to rush forward to snatch it crazily. Those refugees who did not manage to snatch it could only look at Yuan Shao who was riding on his horse.
"My fellow villagers, I am Yuan Shao. I still have important matters to attend to. There is really no more food. If you want to eat food, please go to the Bohai Sea. That place is under my rule. I thank all the villagers here.”Yuan Shao cupped his fists and bowed sincerely to the refugee.
"Thank you for your great kindness, benefactor!”The refugees shouted.
" Goodbye, fellow villagers!" Yuan Shao cried out with tears in his eyes. He held back the grief in his heart and turned to leave.
"I think the villagers will understand the lord's kindness.”Dian Wei saw that I, Yuan Shao, was immersed in my memories and tried to persuade him.
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's enter the city.”Yuan Shao pondered for a while, then dismounted. He led the Western Liang warhorse with his left hand and headed towards Pei Country. Behind him was Dian Wei's iron tower-like figure. At this moment, the sun was setting in the west. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Yuan Shao, making Yuan Shao's figure very long…very long…
