The whole Xudu started to be chaotic. Cao Cao chased him out on a horse in the middle of the day, but in the end he didn't even see Liu Ye's shadow. He thought Liu Ye would go back to Xudu, but Xun You, who was in charge of Xudu, shook his head , saying that he did not see Liu Ye at all, and there was no sign of Liu Ye in Liu Ye's mansion! Liu Ye joined Cao Cao's army alone with Liu Xun. It can be said that he came here without any worries. Except for a house given by Cao Cao, all of Xu Du's people belonged to him. Liu Ye didn't like it at all!
"Hate! Hate! You can't see gold and jade!" Cao Cao's intestines are almost green, such a great talent was let off by him like this! Now he remembered the scene where Liu Ye spoke at the very beginning, that should be the time when Liu Ye wanted to report this bed crossbow to himself! But I gave up such an opportunity because of my concerns about Liu Ye and my doubts about him!
The wisdom of the ancients is terrifying! Liu Mang relied on a pile of books to transform the bed crossbow, while Liu Ye relied on the description of the bed crossbow in Cao Cao's intelligence and the old-fashioned bed crossbow to forcibly transform it. There are only two hundred and fifty steps, although he can only shoot twice, but as long as Liu Ye is given time, he can design something much better than the current one!
"My lord, it's fine if you can't catch up!" Guo Jia was also very helpless, and blamed him for being a step late! If he could not drink, he could have discovered that bed crossbow earlier, maybe Liu Ye would be working under Cao Cao's command now! Guo Jia also got the scene of Cao Cao treating Liu Ye from other generals. Liu Ye wanted to say a word but couldn't get it, and was kicked out. Even Guo Jia himself couldn't stand such a scene!
You must know that Guo Jia used to be loyal to Yuan Shao, and it was because of Yuan Shao's disdain for him and his uselessness that Guo Jia switched his family and joined Cao Cao. Therefore, literati still have integrity. Once you touch this integrity, you may The result is to leave!
"Feng Xiao, you don't know! I'm afraid, I'm really afraid!" Can Cao Cao not be afraid! Such a great talent was missed by him. It would be fine if he went to live in seclusion, but if he voted for someone else, it would really be a huge threat! What Cao Cao is most afraid of now is that Liu Ye will go to his biggest enemy Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu. Originally, Cao Jun and Yuan Shaojun are three times different in strength. If Liu Ye goes to Yuan Shao's place again, it will be really fun!
"Don't worry, my lord!" Guo Jia comforted Cao Cao, "Ziyang will not go to Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu!" Guo Jia is not talking empty words, but a fact. You must know that even people like Cao Cao treat Liu Ye Such scruples, not to mention Yuan Shao, who has no regard for the Han Dynasty at all, Liu Ye can still get a vacant position by taking refuge in Cao Cao! If he takes the official position of Jiuqing, he will go to Yuan Shao! Let alone an official position, maybe at most a petty official is almost enough! Those positions with real power have been taken by those Hebei aristocratic families! At that time, even if Yuan Shao wants to reuse Liu Ye, there will be a lot of Hebei gentry standing up to tear down the stage, so Guo Jia believes that Liu Ye is a smart man, so he will definitely not go to Yuan Shao! And you have to know that Yuan Shao didn't care about this bed crossbow at all. He always believed that the battles that took place in the Yangtze River basin were fake. In his opinion, there were only tens of thousands of soldiers in Jiangdong and Jingzhou. Yes, interesting! Waiting for him to wipe out Cao Cao's army, he didn't run away when he arrived there, so the only one who didn't send a congratulatory gift like Lu Bu, and the only one who didn't buy and sell bed crossbows like Lu Bu said, was Yuan Shao. If he is crazy enough, he has capital!
"My brother Benchu's character has really helped me a lot!" Cao Cao also had fun in his bitterness, let's ignore Liu Ye for now, let's solve the big trouble Yuan Benchu in front of him first! "Feng Xiao, are you sure you can imitate that bed crossbow!" If Liu Ye didn't worry about Cao Cao at all, it was Liu Ye who invented it anyway. He naturally knew how to build it, but now Guo Jia is required to prepare it. Yes, Guo Jia is a top strategist but he is not good at mechanics!
"My lord, there is no need for Jia to come forward. Naturally, the artisans of Xudu will analyze it!" Guo Jia is not good at mechanics, so Guo Jia will not make a fool of himself. There are artisans of Xudu, just teach them these! It was difficult to disassemble the bed crossbow and imitate the parts one by one. He did not believe that it could not be made from scratch, let alone the basic blueprints found in Liu Ye's big tent in their hands. .
"The bed crossbow here is all right! What is needed now is for you, my lord, to hold on to Guandu!" What Guo Jia now wants is for Cao Cao to defend Yuan Shao's next onslaught. Don't talk about everything if Guan Du breaks!
"Don't worry, Feng Xiao, your lord, although my eyesight is so old that I can't even distinguish talents, I'm not an idiot. With an army of 100,000 at least three months in hand, it's impossible to break Guandu!" Cao Cao He has his own self-confidence. If it weren't for the fact that Cao Cao became a fan of the princes and authorities, I am afraid that Cao Cao is also a warrior with both civil and military skills. You must know that before Cao Cao really became a prince, he participated in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion Yes, at that time under the command of the old general Huang Pusong, Cao Cao was able to make some good suggestions from time to time, and at that time Cao Cao often led the army to charge, just like Lu Bu! He took the lead, but then Cao Cao became more and more like the protagonist, and he also knew the preciousness of his life. He taught his subordinates to charge and fight, but Lu Bu did not completely switch because of his love of fighting and his high martial arts skills! However, each of these two has its own advantages and disadvantages!
Lu Bu's advantage is that as long as Lu Bu is immortal, his fighting spirit will not stop, so the soldiers of Lu Bu's army have strong attack power and a high desire to dare to fight desperately. As long as there is Lu Bu, there is a place for them to attack! The disadvantage is that once Lu Bu is killed or besieged! Then the blow to the morale of the entire army is fatal! After the Sanying War against Lu Bu, the eighteen princes were able to take Hulao Pass, because the defenders in Hulao Pass had lost their morale, and even the God of War was defeated! Where are they still rivals!
Cao Cao changed his command at the back of the formation, and what he brought was that his own safety was guaranteed. It is impossible to defeat the lord after a battle. After the disaster, the entire vassal state collapsed, but it also brought Cao Cao's soldiers It will never be possible to become the number one soldier in the world like Lu Bu's army. This can be seen from the duel between the tiger and leopard cavalry and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry!
Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is terrifying, he is still one point behind the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and he can only be suppressed by Lu Bujun in a head-to-head confrontation!
Cao Cao's statement that the 100,000 troops blocked Yuan Shao's army for three months was a modest statement. If he really wanted to defend to the death, Cao Cao would be able to hold on for at least half a year! Moreover, Yuan Shao would at least lose hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, otherwise he would not even try to break through Guandu!
"Hehe, then my lord, I promise you that I will build you a bed crossbow before Guandu is destroyed!" Guo Jia also joked, he knew that Cao Cao was under a lot of pressure, and now he is working hard to give Cao Cao Fuck share the stress!
"You prodigal son! Don't collect the corpse for me!" Cao Cao punched Guo Jia with a smile, and Cao Cao can only really laugh when he is with Guo Jia! Otherwise, Cao Cao's words and deeds in other places will reveal a message to others, even at home! Since Cao Ang's death, Cao Cao found that even his sons are strangers, and the lack of family affection has turned into a kind of seriousness between superiors and subordinates! This has to be said to be a tragedy!
The Battle of Guandu has begun! Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses continued to attack the Guandu camp. Cao Cao did not adopt Cheng Yu's method to divide his troops to Xuzhou and Langxie to attack Qingzhou. Yuan Shao's army took a step forward, and Cao Cao's navy in the camp also hid in the camp to avoid the battle, and the bed crossbow also needed a warship to load it.
The scale of the war got bigger and bigger, from the temptation of thousands of people at the beginning to the attack of tens of thousands of people later, Yuan Shao didn't have the patience anymore, and directly attacked! The Yellow River Basin above Guandu has turned into the Red River Basin, and the entire river is full of corpses and blood, which is stained red!
Liu Reck didn't know about the battle at Guandu, but what Liu Reck knew was that he was married! Only now has he truly confirmed the name of Lu Bu's son-in-law, and now he can truly tell others that my father-in-law is called Lu Bu!
Miss Lu's transformation also made Liu Mang very strange. The once brutal and unreasonable Miss Lu who used to be strong and powerful all day long disappeared. Instead, she became a gentle and considerate type, always thinking of Liu Mang. If it weren't for the birthmark on Miss Lu's chest, Liu Mang would have thought that Lu Bu had two daughters if he knew him! Liu Mang either doesn't marry or marries three! The main wife Lu Qiling, the second wife Yuan Fang, and the concubine is naturally He Yu! He Yu didn't dare to appear in the name of her own Qiao Yu, so she could only become Liu Mang's concubine. Liu Mang was very busy that night! Waking up the next morning almost broke my waist!
And now Liu Mang is really heading towards Shouchun! After passing Shiting and Shucheng, Zhang Liao Zangba of Shucheng almost stopped him to stay for a few more days, but Liu Mang had something to do so he left! The army arrived in Hefei in just a few days. Hefei is not the modern capital city, Hefei is just a county! After the war, it was very desolate and there were not many people, so the army entered the city and stationed directly. When the army arrived in Hefei and stationed down, the scouts in front suddenly brought back a very painful news for Liu Mang, that is Shouchun has been occupied! There is a green battle flag on it, and a big Liu character is written on it!
Green battle flag? Liu character? Liu Mang almost thought it was Liu Biao's battle flag in Jingzhou, but in the end he found it impossible, because it is impossible for a city defender like Liu Biao of Jingzhou to extend his hand so long to Shouchun, even if he can reach Shouchun , but what use can Shouchun be to him! It's not in Jingzhou, and it's almost thousands of miles away from Jingzhou! How can such a place be defended even if it is defeated!
Shouchun is still close to Cao Cao's territory, Liu Biao is afraid of Cao Cao, so Zhang Xiu from Wancheng blocks him in front of him, and it is better to be a tortoise with a shrunken head to live the life of the emperor of Jingzhou. You let Liu Biao come out and face Cao Cao directly how can that be possible!
Afterwards, the scouts sent another message. On top of the green Liu character flag, there was a Guan character flag, which was the flag of the chief general!
close? There are only a few people with the surname Guan in the entire Three Kingdoms! For example, Guan Ping, Guan Xing, and Guan Yu, the second master of Guan Yu. The most important thing is that these people are still a family! So now with a big green flag, it's clear at a glance who this Liu Zi is!
"Run away emperor uncle Liu Bei and Liu Daer?!" Liu Mang finally guessed who the person who occupied Shouchun was!
That's right, it's really our dear Uncle Liu Huang who ran away. Uncle Liu Huang let Lao Cao get Xuzhou after slandering Lu Bu. Unexpectedly, Uncle Huang also took a bite of Lao Cao and directly occupied Xuzhou by himself. It was the Qingzhou soldiers assigned to him by Lao Cao, who forced Lao Cao to conquest again. Once again pretending to be a grandson in front of Yuan Shao, first get rid of Liu Bei, the grandson! There is also a Yuan Baiyue (referred to as Yuan Baiyue for short) which can be said to be buy one get one free.
After being driven out of Xuzhou by Cao Cao, Cao Cao could not kill Liu Bei because of his two righteous brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Like Lu Bu, Liu Bei and Liu Paopao were sent out of Xuzhou with one eye closed like a god of plague. Who knew that Liu Bei did not go to Qingzhou to cross the Yellow River to Hebei, but went to Runan, Yuzhou, because there were people there. A loyal fan of Liu Paopao plus a younger brother, Mr. Liu Pijun in Runan is here, and he still has 20,000 Yellow Turbans under his command. In addition, when Liu Paopao escaped with more than 10,000 people, he has 30,000 main forces. Every time you leave a place, you must bring a lot of people with you. This time when you leave Xuzhou, you will take away nearly half of the people in Xuzhou. He wanted to chase and kill Liu Pao for thousands of miles, and from the people who were brought out and the people in Runan, he mobilized another 20,000 strong and strong troops to form a 50,000 army!
How can a small Runan survive with an army of 50,000, so Liu Paopao sent his general Guan Yu and Guan Erye to occupy the three cities of Shouchun Yingshang and Ruyin! If it weren't for the fear that being too close to Lujiang might arouse Lu Bu's old hatred, Hefei might be directly occupied!
"Liu Bei has occupied Shouchun!" Huang Zhong, Xu Sheng and Gan Ning were all thinking, this is not good news! Although Shouchun was dilapidated, he was also the governor of Yangzhou. After being defeated by Cao Cao, he was repaired by Yuan Shu. Among them, Yang Hong had the final say, because it was his handwriting to repair Shouchun, Yang Hong Although there are always oolongs in tactics, don't forget that he still knows about it in general, and he also knows that only Yuan Shu can be good if he is good! So the city wall of Shouchun was built really strong under Yang Hong's auspices. He didn't know how many Liu Bei's soldiers were in this Shouchun. It's really difficult for people!
Gan Ning has 12,000 sailors under his command, 3,000 urban management troops, and 3,000 black chess troops. The total is only 18,000! If there are thousands of people in this city, it will be really difficult. Why don't we go back and ask Lu Bu for soldiers and horses now!
"Good news! It's really good news!" Just when everyone was in a dilemma, Liu Mang was the most optimistic. He only heard Liu Mang clapping his hands with a smile on his face, as if he had encountered good news!
"Hungry?!" Everyone's expression changed when they looked at Liu Mang, and Huang Zhong even wondered if it was because he was under a lot of psychological pressure when he was taken back by the lord last time that he became insane.
"Look at me! Isn't this good news!" There are quite a few people who have hatred against Lu Bujun! But there are only two who can make Lu Bujun feel aggrieved and aggrieved! One is Cao Cao and the other is Liu Bei. Those who have hatred like Sun Ce, it is Lu Bujun who makes Sun Ce hate Lu Bujun. Sun Ce suffers, but it is Lu Bujun who suffers when dealing with these two princes!
Lao Cao can't move him now, and he still counts on Lao Cao to help Lu Bu's army resist Yuan Shao! If it is Yuan Shao who can attack Cao Cao in the end, Yuan Shao has an army of 300,000! If Lao Cao is defeated, Lu Bu's army will be the next to face. Although Lu Bu's army is strong, it can't resist an army of 300,000 troops! So the current Lao Cao cannot be defeated! On the contrary, Liu Wei also plans to help Lao Cao, at least to give him more opportunities to consume Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will be deeply involved in the war!
And Liu Bei doesn't have so many scruples! Originally, if Liu Paopao went to Hebei, Lu Bujun might be very depressed, because Hebei is too far away, and Lu Bujun can't reach it! But now Liu Paopao ran to Runan, and now it is Shouchun! This is not looking for hatred! What's more, Liu Mang also knew that Liu Paopao would take away a lot of people every time he went to a place! Shouchun happened to be short of people, so Liu Mang decided to eat this Liu Paopao, and he would fight Liu Paopao for the sake of those people if nothing else.
What's more, who is the happiest beating Liu Paopao is his father-in-law! Lu Bu also hated Liu Bei to the bone. If Liu Bei and Cao Cao hadn't cooperated inside and outside, he, Lu Bu, would have gone to Lujiang! As for what it looks like now! He's not a fool, let Xuzhou's 12 counties go to Lujiang to fight Sun Ce, and then go to occupy Shouchun, where there are not many people
"Let's reorganize the army in Hefei now!" Liu Wei asked his subordinates to start preparations. Hefei is also the territory that Liu Reck needs to occupy, so it doesn't matter if you organize the army here now! Shouchun City is tall and tall. Although it was beaten down by Cao Cao, it has also been repaired, so it is no worse than an important town like Wancheng!
Liu Mang is not Sun Ce, he doesn’t have 100,000 troops, now he has less than 20,000 soldiers at full strength, and more than half of them are naval forces, so Liu Mang can’t afford that kind of siege warfare, even if he can afford to use up all of them, how can he go there? How about guarding Shouchun
Therefore, the siege must rely on something. This thing is a new weapon that Liu Mang wants to experiment with. In other words, it should be an improved version of the second-generation bed crossbow!
Liu Mang is not in a hurry, although the shipyard and warship can only be built after taking Shouchun, but Liu Mang's current warship still has a lot of things to think about! Shipbuilding is not about building wherever you think of it. Once something is wrong, it will be too late to modify it! So these days, Liu Mang has been discussing with the top talents among the craftsmen how to build this ship!
Now that Shouchun is occupied by Liu Paopao, Liu Mang can have a period of time to think about this warship before preparing new weapons!
"Uncle Hong. Go and help me post recruitment orders all over Hefei!" Yuan Fang, the baby daughter of Liu Mang's wife Yuan Shu, called out to Yang Hong for Uncle Hong, and Liu Mang naturally followed Yuan Fang's call.
"Yes!" Yang Hong nodded. This recruiting order was Liu Mang's strategy, but it didn't work out very well in Lujiang. After all, Lu Bu still had to worry about the price of offending the nobles in the world, so with the help of Lu Jun from the Lu family, After Lu Jun recommended several good talents, the old man Chen almost gave up on this plan! However, old man Chen would not give up if Liu Mang gave up! Gentlemen? Liu Mang also knew that a big power represented a level of power! They occupy 2% of the world's population, but occupy 80% of the world's resources, but so what! These aristocratic families are already too decadent, they are just descendants of feudal aristocratic families, they will be eliminated according to Liu Mang's plan, and a new class will replace them! Liu Mang is the person who promoted the emergence of this class. When one day those heavy armors can't withstand arrows, when those nobles can no longer control the officialdom, when they have land but no one to cultivate it, they will be new. When the class replaced the old gentry, this is the reason why Liu Mang went to destroy most of the gentry in Wancheng without any scruples. It was also Yang Hong who kept reminding me, but was always interrupted by Liu Mang using my own discretion.
Chen Gong and the others don't need a recruitment order, so let him Liu Mang use it! When Liu Mang left Wancheng, he got Lu Bu's promise. This Shouchun generation includes Hefei Gushi Anfeng and Hefei Lujiang. These cities belong to Liu Mang. Liu Mang can do whatever he wants!
The last thing he needs from Liu Mang is a powerful navy and a steady supply of food and grass.
"Uncle Hong, it's not just Hefei, you asked Cheng Yu to send me the cavalry battalion of the urban management army to Gushi, Anfeng Chengde, and Lujiang to spread the recruitment order for me. If possible, you also sneaked into Shouchun or even You can send people across Yingshui to spread this recruiting order to me!" The entire Shouchun generation has limited talents, so Liu Mang wants to broadcast and fish, and he wants to salvage talents! Only by obtaining those talents can we gain a foothold in the troubled times!
Yang Hong and the others believed that only with the support of the gentry could the heart of the gentry win the world, but Liu Mang's ideas did get the support and hearts of those talents! The 21st century is a world of talents, and it is also applicable in this late Eastern Han Dynasty! The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty is also the age of talents! Those who win talents win the world! (To be continued.)
