"Meet the King of Wei, Military Advisor Guo, General Xiahou, General Cao..."
After an old man entered the house, he quickly saluted everyone.
"This is... a criminal craftsman?"
Cao Cao asked Guo Jia for confirmation full of doubts.
I seem to have seen it before, but I can’t remember clearly.
"good!"
Guo Jia nodded and confirmed Cao Cao's question.
"King Wei, I have summoned Craftsman Xing to let him take a look at what this suit of armor looks like."
"If there are obvious flaws, or if we can build it ourselves, then things will be simple."
"At worst, I won't give up the armor I got from the martial arts tournament. I'll just lose some of General Xiahou Dun's reputation."
Cao Cao was convinced and quickly asked Craftsman Xing to check.
"Look carefully. If you find anything, I will give you a huge reward!"
"As you command!"
Craftsman Xing is just an ordinary person, how dare he disobey the king of Wei.
At this moment, careful observation began around the iron armor.
Touching, knocking, measuring, striking, everything is done, meticulous to the extreme!
After a long time, Craftsman Xing replied to Cao Cao helplessly.
"For the record, King Wei, this set of iron armor is extremely well-made and cannot be made by anyone other than a top master. I have limited abilities, so I really can't see any flaws in it!"
Cao Cao and Guo Jia had a look of surprise in their eyes at the same time.
Craftsman Xing is the number one craftsman in Yecheng, and many of the weapons of generals are made by him.
Not to mention surpassing Xing Craftsman, even if he could match him, Wei could not find many.
Even the torture craftsmen can't see any flaws, which means that this set of armor is indeed perfect.
"Mr. Xing, if it were you, could you make one exactly the same?"
Guo Jia was full of anticipation.
As long as Craftsman Xing nods and agrees, all problems will be solved.
"this..."
Craftsman Xing shook his head in embarrassment.
"Commander Guo, please forgive me for my incompetence..."
"This craftsmanship is exquisite and cannot be compared to ordinary people."
"Mr. Xing, I'm not in a hurry, you can build it slowly!"
Guo Jia was anxious and relaxed his request again.
Unfortunately, Craftsman Xing still shook his head helplessly.
"Commander Guo, the most difficult thing about this set of armor is not the method of making it, but the materials."
"We have tried compressing the iron armor before, but once it reaches a certain level, the iron becomes very brittle and has no strength at all!"
"But look at this armor. It's so thin and light, but its defensive power is not weaker than normal armor..."
Guo Jia suddenly realized.
"Mr. Xing is saying that there is something wrong with this material?"
The criminal craftsman nodded repeatedly.
"Exactly, exactly! We don't have this kind of material, and the little old man is... at a loss what to do..."
Xiahou Dun was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Military advisor, didn't I just say that this..."
Before he finished speaking, Guo Jia raised his hand to interrupt Xiahou Dun.
"Mr. Xing, please come back."
"Little old man, please leave!"
When Craftsman Xing left, Guo Jia sighed helplessly.
"Why..."
Xiahou Dun spoke again.
"Commander Guo, Liu Zhang said when he was in Weiyang Palace that these raw materials can only be used to make 35,000 more sets, and almost all of them were given to us."
"Let's not talk about whether this is true or not. I think it is definitely not a loss to exchange 350,000 people for this unique armor!"
"If it is true, it proves that our Wei cavalry is the only one!"
Guo Jia sighed again, but did not continue to refute Xiahou Dun.
In fact, from the moment Craftsman Xing said that it could not be copied, Guo Jia already had a bad premonition.
Materials finally became the straw that broke the camel's back.
"Fengxiao, what do you think?"
After not seeing Guo Jia speak for a long time, Cao Cao could only ask in person.
Guo Jia forced a smile.
"Does King Wei have the answer in his mind?"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"It's better to understand Gu Fengxiao. I really can't bear to give up such a sharp weapon..."
How will the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which they were so proud of before, face the ordinary cavalry wearing these armors?
The results speak for themselves.
No matter how elite the tiger and leopard cavalry are, what can they do if they can't break through these armors?
Is it possible that he can still be defeated by his will and break through the armor's defense?
The main reason is that the cost of building the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is really too high.
Relying on layers of screening and strict selection, the lowest level is the centurion level.
But now, you only need to equip these armors to achieve the power of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
And more importantly, what will happen if the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is equipped with these armors?
Cao Cao couldn't imagine how terrifying the combat power could be.
Thinking of this, the belief in my heart became stronger.
"Fengxiao, 350,000 people can use it alone without breaking their muscles. But once you miss such a sharp weapon, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get it again."
Guo Jia understood this truth and wanted to get these armors very much.
But when I thought about giving Liu Zhang another 350,000 people, I couldn't accept it.
It was more than 300,000 before, and this is another 350,000.
Inside and out, I'm afraid it exceeds 700,000!
In the entire Wei State, how many 700,000 yuan can be given away?
Cao Cao saw Guo Jia's dilemma and walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.
"Fengxiao, if there is a cavalry with a number of 50,000 and a fighting strength comparable to the tiger and leopard cavalry, what will happen to the families in the Central Plains and Hebei?"
Seeing the viciousness in Cao Cao's eyes and the sneer on his lips, Guo Jia suddenly realized.
I see!
Cao Cao's thinking direction was exactly the opposite to Guo Jia's.
One is internal and the other is external.
The appearance of 50,000 tiger and leopard cavalry is bound to break the balance of combat power between the Cao family and the other clans.
Let me ask, who can be unafraid of such ruthless and ferocious combat power?
"King Wei... is wise!"
Guo Jia bowed his hands and finally expressed his approval.
Having said that, if you raise objections, there will be a question of loyalty.
"Hahaha, that's what I'm saying! How could King Wei not want such a treasure!"
Xiahou Dun looked up to the sky and laughed, pouring out all the resentment in his heart.
At this moment, all the efforts became worth it.
Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun with some shame.
"Yuan Rang, Gu Duo was offended just now, don't take it personally..."
Xiahou Dun was extremely generous.
"The King of Wei is serious! Everything is for our great Wei!"
"Da Wei...well said!"
"By the way, King Wei, I promised Liu Zhang that I would pay him back the one million stones of grain and grass I owe him."
Cao Cao frowned slightly, a little embarrassed.
"If these grains were given to him, Gu's soldiers would be hungry."
Xiahou Dun showed a sneer.
"King Wei, why don't you let those noble families pay for these money and food? Do you really think that our fifty thousand tiger and leopard cavalry are just decorations?"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he was about to agree.
At this time, Guo Jia spoke up to stop the two of them.
"King Wei, General Xiahou doesn't need to go to such trouble."
"When the 350,000 people are delivered, Liu Zhang will no longer care about the one million stones of food and grass..."
