Chapter 140 Equipment Modification
"My lord!"
Lü Bu and Zhang Liao bowed simultaneously.
Both of them understood that it was impossible for them to just happen to meet here.
Something must have happened!
"No need to be so formal!" Li Zhao waved his hand, signaling the two to stand up.
"I originally wanted to visit Fengxian, but I didn't expect you to personally deliver grain outside."
"You've done a great job. Sooner or later you'll understand that it's absolutely worth it."
"Thank you for your guidance, my lord..." Lu Bu glanced at the letter in his hand, then went to Li Zhao and handed it over.
"My lord, you've come at the perfect time! I just received news from Bingzhou!"
"What do you mean?" Li Zhao took the letter but didn't read it.
This is a sign of absolute trust!
Lu Bu visibly relaxed considerably and then said, "According to Zhang Yang..."
"Bingzhou is now on the verge of chaos under Yuan Shao's rule."
"Actually, the army under his command doesn't have much combat power. If war breaks out now, with him as an inside man, it would be very easy to break through!"
Hearing him say that, Zhang Liao looked at Li Zhao expectantly, wondering how he would react.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they can defeat Yuan Shao, they can completely control the situation in the north.
however.
Li Zhao shook his head, "Now is not the best time..."
"Although they have internal problems and various conflicts have erupted, if we take advantage of this to attack, everyone will think we're there to seize territory!"
"Don't worry, at this rate, Bingzhou will collapse on its own before long!"
Lu Bu and his companion exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat surprised.
Faced with such a good opportunity, Li Zhao didn't even have any ideas.
They are both close confidants, so there's no need for them to say anything polite.
So what if we're fighting over territory?
This only shows that Li Zhao truly thought this way; he didn't want to simply seize territory and then start a war!
"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now!" Li Zhao looked at Lü Bu and Zhang Liao in front of him, a smile flashing in his eyes.
"I'm here today on other business, and it just so happens that Wen Yuan is here too!"
"What does our lord want us to do?" Zhang Liao asked expectantly.
"What do you think is the best way to improve the army's combat effectiveness?"
"Combat strength?" Zhang Liao was clearly taken aback, not expecting Li Zhao to ask that question.
Lu Bu, however, fell into deep thought, and then said, "There are many factors that affect the combat effectiveness of an army, such as the ability of the soldiers and the strictness of military discipline!"
"More importantly, it depends on whether the commander-in-chief is skilled in leading troops. The same army can exert vastly different combat effectiveness in the hands of different generals!"
Zhang Liao added, "What you say is correct, my lord. Of course, having superior equipment will also have an impact..."
Lu Bu turned and glanced at him, seemingly dissatisfied with the way he had been addressed.
Zhang Liao gave an awkward laugh; he was used to it.
"That makes sense. Where is Xiaofu?" Li Zhao looked around.
"They should be... training, right?" Lü Bu explained, "The Trapped Camp is different from other armies; they train whenever they have time."
"Should I go and call him over?"
"No, you two come with me, let's get some things before we go over!"
Following behind Li Zhao, the two were both somewhat puzzled.
My lord seems a little different today. Why is he so concerned about the army?
Could it be that they have some special ideas about the military?
soon.
The two of them knew what Li Zhao was planning to do.
On the military camp's parade ground, there was a flatbed cart loaded with all sorts of weapons and equipment.
The two glanced at it from a distance, not paying much attention, but simply finding it a bit strange. The Trapped Camp had several hundred men, so this little bit of equipment seemed insufficient.
But they didn't say anything, silently following behind Li Zhao.
immediately.
At his signal, the two men took over the carriage and headed towards the Trapped Camp.
Zhang Liao casually sat on the tablet, his gaze inadvertently falling on the pile of weapons and equipment placed beside him.
That one glance almost made him fall off the carriage.
Next to it was a uniquely shaped curved knife, not particularly long, which was just the right size for a short knife and looked perfect for close combat.
Next to the knife were two circular objects with saddles and various ropes on them.
Why do these all look like improved military weapons and equipment?
Designed specifically for the Trapped Camp?
Suppressing his shock, Zhang Liao remained silent. As for its purpose, everything would be revealed once he arrived at the Trapped Camp.
He had a strong premonition that Li Zhao's trip to the Trapped Camp would definitely change something...
……
"roar……"
"ha……"
Within the Trapped Camp, a series of uniform low roars echoed as hundreds of shirtless, dark-skinned, muscular soldiers attacked the wooden stakes in front of them.
Gao Shun walked back and forth among the people with his hands behind his back.
He observed everyone's condition and occasionally reprimanded them.
"Cheer up, everyone! The sweat you're getting now is so you won't bleed on the battlefield!"
"The strength and reputation of the Trapped Camp are earned through the hard work and skill of every member!"
"Anyone who's slacking off or trying to cheat should get out now and not stay here tarnishing the reputation of the Vanguard Camp!"
"I know that conditions are much better now. Everyone has enough to eat and wear, and even has many benefits. So I don't want to train like I used to."
"But I'm telling you, as long as you're still in the Trapped Camp, keep those kinds of thoughts to yourself!"
"If I find out, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Gao Shun's voice echoed around, and the expressions of the shirtless soldiers training became even more resolute.
No one will disagree; they'll only work even harder!
Because they knew very well that the reputation and strength of the Trapped Camp were earned through rigorous training and battles fought on the battlefield.
Suddenly.
A carriage slowly drove in from outside, and everyone who was training stopped involuntarily upon noticing it.
Gao Shun turned his head sharply and saw Li Zhao, Lü Bu, and the others appear. He quickly walked over.
At the same time, he called out loudly, "Assemble!"
Hundreds of strong men gathered together in the shortest possible time.
Upon reaching the front, they all bowed respectfully to Li Zhao, saying, "Greetings, my lord!"
They were completely convinced by Li Zhao!
His impartiality and commitment to keeping his word, ensuring that no one went hungry, were enough to earn their respect.
Gao Shun approached and bowed in greeting, "Greetings, my lord, General Lü, Wen Yuan..."
"Hyobo, there's no need for that. Everyone should relax!" Lee So waved to the crowd, making no attempt to hide the affection in his eyes.
He really likes these people...
