Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters perfect equipment
Zhang Yun no longer had any thoughts of opportunism, so he prepared seriously. The Youzhou Army only gave each of their soldiers a helmet and leather armor, and the weapons were all the ones they brought with them, except for a long weapon.
A spear and a horizontal sword, plus a personal dagger, there are no other weapons, not even a pair of bows and arrows.
Zhang Yun had ignored these problems before, but now he realized that he was really not fully prepared, which made him ashamed. Fortunately, there were still two days left, so he could think of a solution.
Zhang Yun found Lu Chang. Although Lu Chang was his nominal boss, he actually didn't ask anything. Unless Zhang Yong deliberately made things difficult for Zhang Yun, then he would stand up, otherwise he would basically remain silent.
After listening to Zhang Yun's thoughts, Lu Chang smiled bitterly and said: "This is actually Zhu Tao's rule. All Zhuangding militia cannot possess long-range weapons, including bows and arrows and crossbows. In addition, we just don't think shields are of much use.
Not banned."
"Can it still be done now?" Zhang Yun asked.
Lu Chang had no choice. He thought for a moment and said, "I have to ask the head of the family about this matter. Come with me!"
Lu Chang took Zhang Yun to the Lu Mansion. The Lu Mansion was a huge mansion in Youzhou City, second only to Prince Zhu Tao's Mansion. It covered an area of more than 100 acres. During the war, thousands of members of the entire Lu family lived in it.
Zhang Yun saw Lu Jingliang in the back house, and Lu Jingliang nodded and said: "These things are indeed not considered carefully by us. It is indeed easy to equip crossbows and shields outside the city, but it is not easy inside the city. Zhu Tao is very familiar with weapons.
The control has always been very strict.”
Zhang Yun leaned forward and said: "This is actually not necessary. If it is troublesome, forget it."
Lu Jingliang thought for a moment, then wrote a text message, saying to Zhang Yun: "There are two ways to get weapons in the city. The first is through buying and selling. Ask around. If you can buy it, the Lu family will pay for it. If you can't buy it, the Lu family will pay for it."
Then go find the person in the letter, he should be able to help."
After saying that, he handed the letter to Zhang Yun. Zhang Yun took the letter and saw that it was personally addressed to Han Zongyu on the envelope. He didn't know who this Han Zongyu was, and he didn't ask any more questions, so he stood up and left.
Lu Chang sent Zhang Yun out of the house, and Lu Ran said to his brother Lu Jingliang: "Isn't this too risky?"
Lu Jingliang smiled lightly and said: "Guo Song told me when he met me that if you capture Youyan, the Lu family will have great achievements. Do you understand what he means?"
Lu Ran thought for a moment and said, "Is this a bottom line?"
Lu Jingliang nodded and said: "The premise is to capture Youyan, so that the Lu family can have a place in Chang'an like the Hedong family and the Guanzhong family. In fact, King Jin is also betting."
"What are you betting on?" Lu Ran asked puzzledly.
"Bet on our Lu family's side."
Lu Jingliang said slowly: "He came to Youzhou this time without any siege baggage, which shows that he placed his hope on our Lu family. If our Lu family is willing to assist, he can indeed attack without baggage."
Go to Youzhou, but if he cannot capture Youzhou City and withdraws with regret, it means that the Lu family has not tried its best, and our Lu family will never have any hope of having a position in Chang'an in the future."
"is it so serious?"
Lu Jingliang nodded, "This is a fact. Without taking risks and paying the price, how could the Lu family gain status?"
Lu Ran sighed, "I'm afraid that a war will break out in the city, and our Lu family will not be spared."
"Don't worry about this issue. I have told Zhang Yun that he is responsible for protecting the safety of the Lu family."
"In this case, I can't say anything else."
Lu Jingliang sighed softly and said: "The Lu family never chooses sides. This is the first time. I hope I didn't choose wrong!"
Zhang Yun found the Jinwei Mansion's intelligence point in Youzhou. The intelligence point in Youzhou was also Gaosheng Inn. This was actually a bit inappropriate. As long as the intelligence point in one place was seized, Gaosheng Inn in other places would be suspected.
Jinwei Mansion also realized this and began to change it. For example, the intelligence points in Luoyang, Chengdu and Yangzhou separated from Gaosheng Inn.
But Youzhou has not changed, it is still in Gaosheng Inn.
The manager of Gaosheng Inn is Zou Pei, a native of Youzhou. He has eight subordinates, including an inn and a tavern.
Both the inn and the tavern were closed. Zhang Yun found Zou Pei in the inn.
"Can you still buy bows, arrows and crossbows on the black market now?" Zhang Yun asked.
Zou Pei laughed and said: "Military crossbows are impossible. Zhu Tao has been cracking down on military crossbows and armors. Bows and arrows may be available, but it depends on the quantity and how many you want. If there are dozens or hundreds of pieces, I don't think it is a problem."
Big, if you want 800 pieces, it will definitely be impossible. I made a special investigation on this matter at the beginning of the year. Youzhou swords are the easiest to get, and the most difficult are bows and arrows and military crossbows."
"What about the shield?" Zhang Yun continued to ask.
Zou Pei still shook his head, "Shields are rare items. No one buys them and no one sells them."
Zhang Yun had no choice but to take out the letter and ask: "Who is this Han Zongyu?"

Zou Pei still shook his head, "Shields are rare items. No one buys them and no one sells them."
Zhang Yun had no choice but to take out the letter and ask: "Who is this Han Zongyu?"
Zou Pei raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "The Lu family actually took out the treasure from the box. Han Zongyu is the Sima of Prince Yan's Palace. He is in charge of the money and materials in Youyan area. He is equivalent to the position of Zhang Qianyi in Chang'an. He is the son-in-law of the Lu family. He was originally the
Taichang Shaoqing returned to Youzhou after the rebellion in Jingyuan and was hired by Zhu Tao as Sima of Prince Yan's palace."
Zhang Yun was not interested in Han Zongyu's official position, he only cared about whether he could get the weapons he wanted.
"Can he get a military crossbow?" He raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "The Lu family actually took out the treasure from the box. Han Zongyu is the Sima of the Prince of Yan's Palace. He is in charge of the money and materials in the Youyan area. He is equivalent to the position of Zhang Qianyi in Chang'an. He
He is the son-in-law of Lu Jingliang. He was originally Taichang Shaoqing. After the rebellion in Jingyuan, he returned to Youzhou and was hired by Zhu Tao as Sima of Prince Yan's palace."
Zhang Yun was not interested in Han Zongyu's official position, he only cared about whether he could get the weapons he wanted.
"Can he get a crossbow?"
"Frankly speaking, I don't know either."
Zou Pei smiled bitterly and said: "Although this person is in charge of supplies, including military supplies, I heard that Jia Shu is seizing his power and has already controlled most of the supplies in the name of combat deployment. I don't know if he has any left."
How much power is given?”
Zhang Yun nodded silently, no matter what, he had to find this Han Zongyu.
Zhang Yun did not go with Lu Chang, but went to see Han Zongyu alone.
Han Zongyu was about fifty years old, with a thin face and fair skin. He looked very elegant. His wife was Lu Jingliang's sister. Although he was the son-in-law of the Lu family, he had a bad relationship with the powerful minister Lu Qi at the time. He was suppressed by Lu Qi several times. In the end,
Just be too Chang Shaoqing.
Han Zongyu read the letter written to him by the head of the family. Although Zhang Yun's identity was not mentioned in the letter, he just hoped that he could help Zhang Yun as much as possible.
He immediately realized that the identity of the man in front of him was very unusual. Logically speaking, it was Lu Chang who came to find him. When would he get the captain's turn? Moreover, he remembered very clearly that the captain of the Lu family's blue-shirted army was called Li Wei. He had met him twice.
It's definitely not the Li Yun in front of me.
Han Zongyu knew this, so he asked quietly: "How many weapons do you need?"
Zhang Yun handed him a list, and Han Zongyu looked at the list: 800 sets of crossbows, 800 pots of crossbow arrows, and 800 shields.
He nodded and said: "This request is not too much. The military supply warehouse is now in the hands of Jia Shu, and I can no longer intervene. But I remember that the weapons workshop has a batch of old weapons sent for repair, including crossbows and shields.
, Crossbow arrows are included in the military crossbow, and there is no need to apply separately. These weapons have been repaired, but have not yet been handed over to the military warehouse. I can only lend them to you for testing the repair effect. According to regulations, it cannot exceed three days at most.
"
"Three days are enough!" Zhang Yun quickly bowed and said.
"Okay! Come with me."
Han Zongyu took Zhang Yun to the Youzhou Arms Factory, which is where Youzhou builds weapons. Although Jia Shu took away the power of the military warehouse, he still doesn't like the arms factory for the time being. His current goal is the money and grain warehouse.
Therefore, the weapons workshop continued to be under the control of Han Zongyu.
A steward took them to the warehouse at the back and opened the door. Inside were rows of wooden shelves filled with various repaired weapons. There were also two to three thousand shields. If a shield was shot through a hole, it would basically be destroyed.
It's useless as soon as it's on, but if the handle comes off or the binding falls off, these can be repaired.
Zhang Yun picked up a military crossbow, pulled it open hard, and fired it. It was very smooth and well repaired.
Han Zongyu smiled and said: "They will borrow it for three days to try the repair effect. If the repair effect is good after three days, it can be transferred to the military asset bank."
The steward smiled and said: "No problem, the general can just go through the borrowing procedures, but remember, it will be back before noon the day after tomorrow."
Zhang Yun finally solved the problem of lack of weapons. Each of them was equipped with a crossbow and a shield. Now everything is ready, all they need is the east wind.
