There are 100,000 tons of iron ore, 3,000 fine mares, and 30,000 cow hides. In addition to these raw materials, there are 200 blacksmiths, 100 horse masters, and 300 tailors who can make crossbows.
Thirty craftsmen.
Fifty thousand dan of food.
Seeing Lu Su's surprised look, Cao Ren smiled helplessly, raised his fist and said, "I know that Sun Ce, Yuan Shao and others gave many gifts to Zijing. But Ming Gong is really not like these two people.
We are so rich that we can only send some raw materials and craftsmen, and ask Zijing to build it himself."
"General, you have misunderstood. I don't dislike the fact that Duke Cao sent too little, but I think it was too much." Lu Su said quickly. Indeed, based on these raw materials, nothing can be seen.[
But it is actually very precious. Cao Cao gave more than Yuan Shao and Sun Ce combined. As long as there are time and craftsmen, countless armors can be built, countless war horses and countless leather armors can be raised.
Even more precious are the thirty craftsmen who can make crossbows. They cannot be found even with a lantern. They belong to the most elite group of craftsmen in each force.
It was unexpected. Although these are the enemy's baggage, there is no need to thank them too much. But on the surface, Lu Su would still be grateful.
"Cao Gong was in the north, fighting with Yuan Shao, but he gave me so much baggage. I am really grateful." Lu Su said gratefully.
"Zijing doesn't have to be like this." Cao Ren said with a smile, and then said: "As long as Zijing secures his position in Xinye, when Duke Ming defeats Yuan Shao and completely conquers Hebei, Zijing will lead his troops southward.
You can serve as a vanguard to conquer Jingchu and serve Duke Ming."
"If that moment really happens, I will be devastated." Lu Su said solemnly.
"That's very good." Cao Ren said with a smile. Then, Cao Ren raised his fist and said goodbye: "The mission has been completed. It's time for me to lead my troops back to Wancheng and say goodbye."
"Farewell." Lu Su raised his fist and said.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Ren turned his horse's head and led his army to leave quickly, leaving only nearly 10,000 heavy baggage vehicles for Lu Su.
Lu Su raised his head and took a look. They were all pulled by horses. One hundred thousand tons of raw iron ore was so heavy that no one could pull it. Although these horses were obviously inferior horses at first glance, they were still a great deal.
Not a small fortune.
"General Zhao, General Zhao, take them away, take them all away." Looking at the raw materials for making weapons and the craftsmen, Lu Su couldn't help but feel happy, turned his head and shouted an order to Zhao Yun behind him.
"Promise." Zhao Yun promised, led his soldiers, came up, harnessed the horses, and walked together.
Soon after, the baggage of nearly 10,000 carriages, hundreds of craftsmen, and their families merged into Liu Feng's team. Almost in the blink of an eye, Lu Su, Zhao Yun, Tian Feng and others helped Liu Feng.
Feng unceremoniously digested the supplies donated by Cao Cao, his enemy.
"Sir, here is the list." After finishing these things, Lu Su brought the list to Liu Feng's carriage and handed it in through the window.
Liu Feng took the bamboo slips, unfolded them and looked at them, with a hint of joy flashing across his brows.
Compared to Yuan Shao and Sun Ce, Cao Cao was indeed more generous. Although the baggage he sent were all raw materials, their value was much greater.
"Okay." Liu Feng shouted okay.
Very happy.
"Let's continue heading south to Xinye. Our plan has begun." Then Liu Feng laughed and said.[
