After walking out of the government office for a long time, Zou Jing laughed loudly and said,"
"Haha, just now Liu Bei was so angry that his face turned green. However, this Liu Da…this Liu Bei brothers really think too highly of themselves. Ever since they entered the prefect's manor, they wanted to mobilize all the soldiers and horses. Today, they met their virtuous younger brother. It was really satisfying.”
"Brother Zou doesn't seem to believe that Liu Bei is related to the Emperor?”
Lin Chuan saw Zou Jing's gloating expression and guessed that the Liu brothers had offended him.
"Sigh, to be honest with Brother Lin, I've sent people to investigate. Among these three people, one butchered pigs, one sold green beans, and one weaved mats and sold shoes. How could they be relatives of the imperial family? Look at Liu Bei's appearance, and he even said that he has the bloodline of the Great Ancestor Emperor. I feel ashamed for him.
However, the prefect also said that the Yellow Turban is causing trouble, so we should unite against the outside world. In any case, his identity is not of any harm to us, so let him be.”
Zou Jing looked helpless. It wasn't hard to see how much he hated Liu Guanzhang.
Lin Chuan only smiled and didn't comment. Indeed, justice was in the hearts of the people.
"Oh right, I was wrong. I didn't expect the person beside Brother Lin to be a valiant general. Just from that attack at the prefect's manor, I could tell that he had the courage to fight against ten thousand men.”
Lin Chuan turned around and looked at the smug Pei Yuanqing. He nodded and said,
"That's true. Not only is Yuanqing skilled in martial arts, but he's also a first-rate commander.”
Pei Yuanqing scratched his head in embarrassment and said,"
"My lord, you praise me too much. In terms of martial arts, my lord, you are the one who truly looks down on the world!”
These words were not boasting. Pei Yuanqing had seen Lin Chuan break a huge rock with his bare hands in Zhao Family Village. He knew that he could not do it without the help of a silver hammer, so he sincerely admired Lin Chuan.
"Oh? I didn't know that Brother Lin was the real fierce general. I was rude.”
Pei Yuanqing's words made Zou Jing re-evaluate Lin Chuan. They were both martial artists, but when he was Lin Chuan's age, he was still a bystander.
"By the way, Brother Lin, who are you looking for?”
Zou Jing asked curiously.
"Just now, Big Ear Liu said that their weapons are ready. I took a look and their weapons are indeed outstanding. Although I know martial arts, I don't have a suitable weapon at the moment, so I want you to take me to the blacksmith who forged their weapons and forge a weapon for them.”
After Lin Chuan finished speaking, Zou Jing stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes, and nodded.
"The blacksmith they found is the most famous blacksmith in Zhuo County. It is said that he is the descendant of General Mo Xie and is proficient in forging weapons.”
Fifteen minutes later, Zou Jing brought Lin Chuan to a blacksmith shop.
Lin Chuan directly stated his intention. He wanted to forge a halberd. After fusing with Xiang Yu's Fighting Soul, Lin Chuan's usage of the halberd could be said to have reached the peak. This kind of killing move weapon could be considered a pure killing divine weapon. It was the most suitable for him now.
The shopkeeper carefully calculated Lin Chuan's requirements for the halberd. After pondering for a while, he said,
"At this scale, it will require at least 100 Gold to forge, and it will take seven days.”
The concept of 100 gold coins might be a little vague to others. Let's put it this way, if they used it to buy food, they could at least feed a team of 500 people for a month.
However, Lin Chuan's pockets were empty, so he obviously couldn't take out the 100 gold coins.
"Brother Lin, the money that Liu Bei used to forge his weapons was actually the military funds that Governor Liu gave him to recruit a few hundred peasant soldiers. However, this way, his subordinates would not even have their armor and weapons.”
Zou Jing deliberately lowered his voice to tell Lin Chuan.
"No wonder he was so eager for the White Robe Army. It turns out that he had exhausted all the military resources of his subordinates.”
Lin Chuan smiled disdainfully. The big-eared thief had done this kind of thing many times.
"Boss, 100 gold is no problem, but I will only pay you when I come back to collect the halberd seven days later.”
"That's easy. Big business allows special cases to be handled.”
After that, Lin Chuan left in satisfaction.
On the way back, Zou Jing wanted to say something but hesitated. Lin Chuan knew what he wanted to say. He had come to the war as an assistant, unlike Liu Bei and the others who had come under the banner of defecting. Therefore, Liu Yan only managed the food and grass expenses of the White Robe Army and could not give them any more military funds.
However, the blacksmith boss seemed to be a decent person. He didn't want Lin Chuan to do business.
"Brother Zou, don't worry. After tomorrow's battle, not to mention a hundred gold, even a thousand gold will be delivered to our doorstep.”
Lin Chuan smiled and patted Zou Jing. Good things never had to worry about not having a seller.
"Really?" Zou Jing rolled his eyes a few times and said,""Why do I feel like you're even more unreliable than Liu Bei when you say that?”
"Hahaha, how can I be compared to that big-eared thief? Just wait and see."
……
The next day, everyone gathered at the prefect's manor.
" Everyone, the scouts reported that Deng Mao's 10,000-strong army is less than ten miles away from Zhuo County. Zou Jing has already prepared the defense at the city pass. I hope that when the Yellow Turban bandits surround the city, you will work together to kill the bandits for the sake of the tens of thousands of people in the city.”
After Liu Yan finished speaking, Liu Bei straightened his neck, stood up, and bowed,"
"Your Excellency, please do not worry. When the Yellow Turban bandits attack the city, my second and third brothers, with five hundred cavalry, will charge out from the side. As long as Your Excellency opens the city gates and pincers us from inside and outside, Deng Mao will definitely be defeated!”
"Yes, we will be relying on Liu Bei for this battle.”
Liu Yan had probably been tricked by Liu Bei until dawn last night, so he still agreed to hand over the only 500 cavalrymen in the city to him.
However, in terms of strategy, Liu Yan was extremely satisfied with Liu Bei's tactics.
"What do you think, Brother Lin?”
Liu Yan still asked Lin Chuan for instructions.
Liu Bei also peeked at Lin Chuan from the corner of his eye, wanting to see if the strategy he had painstakingly thought of could suppress him. If he could establish his might in this battle, he might have a chance to poach Pei Yuanqing.
"Sigh, sticking to the rules and doing things step by step. Even if we barely win, how do you plan to deal with Cheng Zhiyuan's 40,000-strong army?”
Lin Chuan rolled his eyes at Liu Guan and the other two who were still feeling smug.
Obviously, everyone's considerations were not that far-reaching. After being asked by Lin Chuan, no one dared to talk.
"Then tell me how to deal with the enemy!"
Guan Yu, who had a proud and aloof expression on his face, could not take it anymore. The strategy that his big brother had painstakingly thought of was so easily denied by him?
