After parting with the Yu family, Shang Ji went straight to Dragon Throat City non-stop. The same routine as in Lulong Fortress, talk to senior generals one by one to admonish and check loyalty.

After spending three days in Dragon's Throat City, and after inspecting it, Shang Ji embarked on his return journey, but the route was slightly different from the one he had come. After going around and around for more than half a month, Shang Ji finally returned to Xiangping!

During this period, he inspected the three giant cities and eight large cities of the former Goguryeo, checked the loyalty of the middle and senior officials in each city one by one, and easily dismissed several officials whose loyalty was below the passing line.

It took more than half a month for the inspection to be completed. The overall situation is quite optimistic, even in the former homeland of Goguryeo, the loyalty of the people and high-ranking officials in the city is not too low, and there will be no betrayal and chaos under normal circumstances.

Just returned to Xiangping, and before Shang Ji could take a breath, Liu Yi came to the door.

Liu Yi is one of the few senior generals who did not go out to "make extra money", the Pingzhou Army is such a big mess, and the daily affairs are quite heavy, if Shang Ji doesn't want to deal with it personally, then he can only let Liu Yi stay.

"My lord, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, etc., have all been contacted, they are very interested in our proposal, but they still have some objections to the price, because the amount is too huge, and the last general will not dare to make a claim, so he can only wait for the lord to come back and decide in person."

"Is there an adequate supply of goods? Now it's less than two months before the national war, don't we pay for their goods by then, and they are not ready. ”

"The last general has confirmed again and again, they all guarantee that the quantity is very sufficient, as long as the agreement is reached, the goods will be sent immediately, and there will definitely be no delay in the expedition of the lord to the foreign land!"

"Good." Shang Ji nodded, and then said, "Brother, please give me a list of supplies." ”

"Right here, please take a look!"

Liu Yi took out a list on the spot and handed it to Shang Ji.

Shang Ji took it and checked it carefully, only to see a large list of materials written on the list, namely:

Dong Zhuo: 50,000 altars of Tianyoude Qingli King, 500,000 altars of Tianyoude hero wine, and 2,000,000 altars of Tianyoude Qingli wine

Sun Jian: Shanyue long knife 50,000 handles

Yuan Shu: 500,000 pots of bursting flying feather arrows

Yuan Shao: 50,000 sets of cheats for different categories of generals (including a high-level internal skill and a high-level gun, knife and archery); 10,000 sets of Wenchen cheats set (including one chapter of urgency, one of filial piety, and one poem); There are a total of 1,000 cheats of all kinds at the human level and above the human level

Cao Cao: The laws and decrees of the junior high school and high school laws are respectively

Liu Bei: 200 sets of Mojia characteristic equipment for defending the city

Zhang Jiao: Yellow Turban Army, Yellow Turban Lux, Yellow Turban Lingwu three special troop training cheats, 500,000 copies of cinnabar, yellow paper, wolf hair and so on required to make talismans

Others: 150 million stones of grain, salt, tea and other materials

After flipping through it, Shang Ji asked Liu Yi: "Why, Yuan Shu still doesn't agree to sell the secret recipe for the production of the Bursting Feather Arrow?" ”

Liu Yi smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Yuan Shu is not stupid, such a powerful strategic equipment as the Bursting Feather Arrow will definitely not be sold unless it is absolutely necessary." ”

Shang Ji sighed helplessly, he also knew that this kind of thing could not be forced. In the Battle of Xianbei, the effect of bursting flying feather arrows is very obvious. Su Huan was able to easily take the Dragon City Gate with three thousand flying phoenix fire horses, and there were three most critical factors; The first point, of course, is that the garrison of Dragon City is empty, and the vigilance of the defenders is almost completely lost; The second is that the Flying Phoenix Fire Ride is surprisingly successful, as an extremely rare flying class, it has the effect of taking the lead; The third point is to rely on the powerful Burst Feather Arrow.

Even regular archer troops, equipped with Burst Feather Arrows, are not inferior to high-level special classes of archers. If you can change the Star Shine Bow or the Sun Shooting Warrior to the Burst Feather Arrow, then the combat effectiveness of these two parts will soar!

However, even if Shang Ji suddenly became rich, he couldn't change the whole army into a burst of flying feather arrows!

Yuan Shu's offer for the Burst Flying Feather Arrow was one piece of hardware, and with the combat efficiency of a high-level archer, it was not unusual for him to shoot five arrows in one breath with all his might.

There are a total of 500,000 Xingyao strong bows and sun-shooting soldiers, and the whole army will go bankrupt after a big battle!

Of course, Shang Ji was uncomfortable with his own brain, and Yuan Shu still didn't agree.

As one of Yuan Shu's hole cards, the Burst Flying Feather Arrow is very cautious in selling to the outside world. If it weren't for the fact that Pingzhou was 108,000 miles away from Nanyang, and it was already well known that Shang Ji was going to expedition to a foreign land, it would have been impossible for Yuan Shu to provide Shang Ji with Burst Flying Feather Arrows on a large scale.

This time, because the purchase quantity was particularly huge, coupled with the negotiators' stubborn fighting, Yuan Shu gave Shang Ji an unprecedented 20% discount, 500,000 pots (20 bottles per pot) only cost 40 million gold!

In addition to the Burst Feather Arrow, the other things sold by the various princes were also quite good. Dong Zhuo's barley wine that can boost morale and speed up the recovery of physical and internal strength; Extremely sharp, very cost-effective Yamagoe long knife; Massive sets of cheats; The effect is quite outstanding, a special defensive equipment made by the Mo family; A law that quickly stabilizes newly occupied cities............

Stuff is good, but the corresponding price is also very high!

All in all, the items on these shopping lists are initially sold for as much as 320 million gold!

A third of the national war reserves left by Shang Ji were used up at once. Although the final price has not yet been determined, the relevant personnel are still negotiating the price, but in the end, the 20 million fraction can be erased and the merchant will burn high incense.

These items are exclusive commodities, and if you like to buy them, you can't buy them, and there is not much room for negotiation. Even some commodities are not for the merchant to have a special hole card, I am afraid that others will not be ****, such as Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army training cheats and talisman materials.

For the talisman, Shang Ji was most worried about the manpower problem at first, and later found out that the materials were also a problem!

Although the material is not expensive, the market is quite small and cannot withstand the large-scale toss of business. And the only one who hoarded cinnabar and yellow paper in large quantities was the former leader of the Yellow Turban Army, the current protector Zhang Jiao!

As a last resort, Shang Ji could only contact Zhang Jiao through Dong Zhuo, wanting to buy the cinnabar yellow paper in Zhang Jiao's hand.

With the relationship between Zhang Jiao and Shang Ji, he unsurprisingly refused, but fortunately, Shang Ji still has a trump card in his hand - Sun Zhong, the Yellow Turban general!

Sun Zhong, a man who is almost forgotten. At the beginning, Shang Ji killed him on the battlefield and used him to test the resurrection effect of the Qiankun Creation Ring, and Sun Zhong came back to life after the experiment.

At the beginning, Shang Ji also tried to recruit Sun Zhong, how to say that he was also a historical general, and he still had a certain value. However, Sun Zhong was desperate for Zhang Jiao and the Yellow Turban Army, even if Zhang Jiao later led the crowd to join Dong Zhuo, Sun Zhong still simply refused Shang Ji's recruitment.

And Sun Zhong was also in Xiangping's cell for three years, and the merchants who closed it almost forgot him!

It was still after Zhang Jiao's setback, after Liu Yi reminded Shang Ji, he remembered that he still had a high-level Yellow Turban captive here.

Although Sun Zhong is a dragon role in history, he is a typical cannon fodder. But in the case of the beacon fire, any historical military general can be called a high-level talent. At the beginning, the total strength of the Yellow Turban Army was hundreds of millions, and Sun Zhong could at least rank in the top 50 among them, which can be said to be the core high-level.

In addition, there is a very important point, Sun Zhong is loyal to Zhang Jiao, which is a very strong plus. After three years in prison, he did not change his mind at all, and repeatedly refused Shang Ji's surrender, if Zhang Jiao, this kind of character, does not want to try to redeem it?

The conditions for the left and right merchants are very simple, selling 500,000 copies of talisman materials, plus the special troop training cheats of the Yellow Turban Army series.

You must know that these merchants are all sold for real money, and handing over Sun Zhong is just a precondition for trade. Zhang Jiaoyi gritted his teeth, forcibly endured his nausea, and sold him the items that Shang Ji needed.

As for Shang Ji, in addition to the talisman materials, he added a special class of the Yellow Turban Army, just in case. The most obvious feature of the Yellow Turban Army is that the training cost is low, and it can be trained quickly and in large quantities without the use of special military camps.

Of course, these advantages were achieved at the cost of the relatively low combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army.

The future of the national war was uncertain, and Shang Ji was not sure what would happen, so he made a set of special units of the Yellow Turban Army to prevent extreme situations.

However, Zhang Jiao also kept a hand, and resolutely refused to sell the Yellow Turban Army's top special troops, the Yellow Turban Immortal Martial Arts, which made Shang Ji a little regretful.

Shang Ji put down the list of items in his hand, sighed and said: "Brother send someone to negotiate with them as much as possible, you can save a little is a little, although we have plenty of funds, but we can't waste it, right?" ”

"Rest assured, the lord will understand that he will do his best to buy the materials he needs at the lowest price."

"Well, brother doesn't have to be too embarrassed, I'm not poor enough to ask for food in Pingzhou. It's just that I can buy as much food as possible, and I always feel that the national war will not be so simple. ”

Liu's sword frowned slightly, raised his head and asked, "How much more do you think you need to buy?" ”

"Add another 50 million stones, and make up 200 million!"

In fact, what Shang Ji wanted to say was to buy another 150 million stones, which would be enough for 300 million. According to the system, the grain production on the Death Continent is three times that of normal, and theoretically there should be no shortage of food. However, Shang Ji always felt that something was wrong in his heart, coupled with Yan Huang's special reminder, so he went crazy to buy food.

However, food does not mean that you can buy it if you want to, although the price of this basic strategic material is not expensive to buy in small quantities, once the quantity exceeds a certain limit, the bid is no matter how high it is!

The purchase of 150 million stone of grain in a short period of time has already led to an increase in grain prices in some areas such as neighboring Jizhou and Qingzhou, and if the scale of purchase is expanded, it is likely to lead to direct intervention by local princes, so Shang Ji finally chose the relatively conservative 50 million stone.

In fact, because the national war is approaching, players are frantically hoarding basic materials such as food. If it weren't for the fact that Huaxia District happened to be in a state of continuous blessings, which led to a surge in grain production in a short period of time, I am afraid that the price of this grain would have risen to the sky long ago!
