Chapter Eighty-Three: Cao Ang Goes Home

Seeing that this newly formed army was sweating profusely and training in countless organs, Yuan Yun was just hiding in the shade of a tree in the distance to enjoy the coolness, the young children around him were fanning their fans, and the cold fruit wine was not broken for a moment.

When Yuan Yun put down the wine glass, he picked up a short-barreled musket, this thing is not like a long-barreled musket, without the area of the long barrel, many parts are more compact, and their power must be guaranteed, so the cost is much more expensive than the long-barreled one.

Put down the short-barreled musket, and then pick up a bulletproof vest, this kind of thing is not very comprehensive in the chip in the brain, so in the original design drawing, Pu Yuan added a lot of other things, such as iron grit mixed with grease, and segmented steel plate structure, but after being manufactured in this way, the weight can be much heavier than those body armor in later generations.

Qing'er saw that Yuan Yun was fiddling with the things on the table, and couldn't help but laugh lightly, and said: "Little Sixth Brother also wore this body armor experiment yesterday, but as a result, the big sword was slashed on his body, almost uninjured, and Brother Zhang Shun slashed countless knives, but they all returned in vain." ”

When Yuan Yun heard this, he glanced at Xiao Liu, who was standing behind him, and then scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, this thing Pu Yuan is still improving, in case it is cut by his own people, don't say that Lao Tzu has not reminded him." ”

Xiao Liu touched the back of his head embarrassedly, and then said with a smile: "The little one is also helping Brother Pu Yuan, after I tested it yesterday, this body armor has been improved a lot, and Pu Yuan also said that it will be finalized immediately." ”

Qing'er then replied: "This thing is obviously to protect against swords, why is it called body armor?" ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, then touched his nose and said with a dry smile: "In my heart, I hope that this thing can prevent our musket projectiles, and only then can it be regarded as conforming to the standard in my mind, so I took such a name." ”

When Yuan Yun explained, he saw a Zhang Shun running over from the gate position, and he had to keep this unit secret, so the training place was chosen inside the internal shooting range of the workshop, and Zhang Shun could only go around several checkpoints, and he ran for a while before he got to his side.

As soon as Zhang Shun stood still, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Lord, the prince of Cao Ang has returned to Luoyang, and the little general Dianman has returned with him, and they should be able to reach the dock in the afternoon." ”

Yuan Yun frowned, and then smiled bitterly, whether to inform Cao Ang of this special force, now there is still some hesitation, once Cao Ang knows, then it must be very troublesome to command this force, after all, Luoyang's current administrative organization is very complete, and many things must be implemented through many departments, if that is the case, the secrecy of this special force is a joke.

After standing up from his position, Yuan Yun stretched out his hand and beckoned Deng Ai and Zhao Si to his side, and then ordered: "We have been practicing for a month, it's time to pull the team out to test it, I heard that Cao Pi has put a lot of eyeliner in Luoyang, I have mastered the list, and I will deal with all these people tonight." ”

Deng Ai took the list handed by Yuan Yun, just glanced at it and stuffed it into his arms, and then asked, "Do you need to live your mouth?" ”

Yuan Yun shook his head and said, "Don't leave one." ”

Deng Ai immediately patted his chest and said, "Master, don't worry, I will make arrangements to ensure that these people all die of natural causes." ”

Yuan Yun nodded with satisfaction, and soon asked Xiao Liu to arrange the frame, it would be noon, and when he arrived at the dock, he could almost meet Cao Ang and Dian Man landing, as for whether to inform this army, this can only wait to see Cao Ang.

After leaving the North City Gate, Zhang Shun began to talk to Xiaoliu, Yuan Yun only smiled at the corner of his mouth, Liu Yiyi's caravan had already set off for Xiliang, I heard that Shi Shen took a group of veterans to rob him, on the way from Chang'an to Jincheng, because of the previous war, I don't know how many mountain kings who stood up as kings came out, and the result was that Shi Shen was robbed all the way by these veterans.

The caravan originally carried a lot of goods, but Shi Shen robbed it all the way, and there were so many goods that he could only borrow fifty cars from Chang'an and Zhang Liao, and because of the caravan's clearance, now the road from Chang'an to Jincheng is about to become a night that never closes.

"Did Lao Tzu let a tiger out?" Yuan Yun casually asked Xiao Liu, who was driving the car.

Xiao Liu smiled and replied: "Brother Shi Shen was originally belligerent, and with more than 400 retired gunpowder army soldiers, the most terrifying thing is that their equipment is fully staffed, if they are willing to honestly guard the caravan, it will be really strange, but Brother Shi Shen did this, many of the previously retired gunpowder army soldiers began to be tempted, in the past two days, our Yuan Mansion asked to join the caravan veterans I don't know how many, I am afraid that the door of our house will be broken." ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said: "Xiaoliu, your mother-in-law is a person who can settle accounts, and the manager is also a strong hand, let her organize these retired soldiers who have been found, and there will inevitably be more and more caravans going to the Western Regions in the future, let's get a dart bureau business out, and this property will be under the names of you and Shi Shen." ”

Xiaoliu was overjoyed when he heard this, although he didn't know what the dart game was, but since Yuan Yun said that it was an industry, the scale would definitely not be small, so he could guess that he would inevitably make a lot of money in the middle, and his mother-in-law had been complaining before, and after coming to Luoyang, he was waiting for death every day, always wanting to do something, now it's okay, this dart game will inevitably be a big business.

"Where are they now?" Yuan Yun asked again.

Xiao Liu glanced at Zhang Shun, Zhang Shun looked sluggish, I don't know why Xiao Liu looked at him, he and Shi Shen can only answer the lord's questions on weekdays, he joined the guard team later, he should not have this qualification.

Seeing Zhang Shun's sluggish face, Xiao Liu frowned, and even kicked him.

Zhang Shun was kicked down, and could only reply to Yuan Yun in the carriage: "Brother Shi Shen, they have already passed Tianshui, and Tianshui is now managed by Zhang Mo, so one of Xun's stewards sent a message back, hoping that we will establish a caravan stronghold in Tianshui City, so that we will be more deployed in the future, and when there are more caravans in the future, we will also control the overall situation in Tianshui at that time, and the caravans behind will only obey us." ”

Yuan Yun touched his chin, and now he felt Liu Yiyi's wisdom, and he started to fight these Xun disciples very early, and he could see that Tianshui was a convenient stronghold, and he could show the strength of these Xun disciples.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun instructed: "This matter must be started quickly, isn't there a veteran to take refuge, send someone to go back to the house now to inform Liu Yiyi, let him organize two hundred people, go there to contact Zhang Mo first, and it is not very difficult to establish a caravan gathering place in Tianshui." ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Yun paused suddenly, then lifted the curtain to look at Zhang Shun and asked, "Zhang Shun, how long have you been with me?" ”

Zhang Shun was stunned, and hurriedly hugged his fists on horseback and replied: "It should have been three or four years since I returned to my lord." ”

Yuan Yun nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "It seems that there is an old mother in your family, and she has never married a wife now, this is not a solution, go back and let my eldest sister give you Zhang Luo, you are not young." ”

Zhang Shun smiled awkwardly and said, "Lord, let's put the matter of marrying a wife in the future." ”

Yuan Yun looked puzzled, and just wanted to ask again, but heard Xiao Liu say: "Zhang Shun also has five younger siblings, as well as seven or eight parents of his cousin's family, these people are still young, raising such a large family, his money can barely be supported, and it may be difficult to marry another wife." ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said: "I've been following me for so long, it's time to get you some money-making work, let's sell horses from the north Karasuma, this time after seeing the pawn, I have my own arrangements, and I will also need some escort escorts at that time, there are a lot of veterans of the Powder Army who come to take refuge, except for the Western Regions, the rest will be left to you Zhang Shun to take care of." ”

Zhang Shun was overjoyed, and quickly hugged his fists and thanked him, and couldn't help but start to be grateful to Xiao Liulai, no wonder he had to let himself answer the question of the lord Yuan Yun just now, it turned out that he hoped that he could be reused by the lord.

After Yuan Yun retracted his head back into the carriage, he no longer spoke, but took the fruit handed by Qing'er and took a bite, looking at the more and more charming beauty in front of him, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and then said in a low voice: "After I go back tonight, I will go to live in Qing'er's courtyard, and I will enjoy Qing'er's massage today. ”

When Qing'er heard this, her face immediately turned rosy, and even she herself was very puzzled, she had been married to Yuan Yun for so long, and she didn't know how many times the husband and wife had sex during this time, but every time she thought of that kind of thing, she still blushed and her heart beat, as if she was still a virgin.

The carriage went all the way, and soon arrived at Luoyang Wharf, where it was still full of traffic, crowds surging, a very lively scene, the hawkers' shouting, the wharf officials' shouting and scolding, mixed with the chuckles of some women, so that Yuan Yun in the carriage couldn't help nodding and smiling.

The performance of prosperity in Luoyang, in fact, the best place is not in the city, but on this dock, as long as you look at the endless stream of merchant ships, as well as all kinds of merchants, and even some exotic dancing girls, you can know what kind of monster Luoyang has developed into today.

Yuan Yun stopped the frame at the dock, even though the weather was still a little stuffy, but he still chose to sit in the frame, because once he walked out, the dock was estimated to be chaotic, and now his name was unknown in Luoyang, for the order of the dock, hiding in the frame was the best decision.

But even so, there are still a lot of officials who know Xiao Liu and others, and when everyone saw that people like Xiao Liu were sitting in the position of catching the car, they still guessed who was sitting in the carriage, but when they were worried about coming forward to salute, they were all forced back by Zhang Shun's serious Chinese face.

From this, no official dared to make a mistake, only dared to stand far away, and then maintained order, trying not to let some passing idlers go to that position, and a strange scene appeared in an instant, that is, in such a noisy area, Yuan Yun actually felt that it was very quiet around the frame.

Not long after, Cao Ang's big ship finally appeared as scheduled, and in addition to his ship, there were several frigates around, all of which were ships armed with artillery, and they were extremely powerful and majestic from their size.

When the ship docked, the shore was immediately cleared, and Cao Ang took the lead to leave the deck and boarded the dock under the escort of a group of ironclad soldiers, and the first thing he saw was Yuan Yun's smiling face.
