(A new volume begins, Volume 2: Weep, Warlords of the Four Directions!) ）

Before the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass began, Liu Xie spent his tenth birthday in Tiger Prison Pass. After his birthday, he began the second ten-year plan of his life: to pacify all the princes and establish a real strong man!

Considering Dong's safety, Liu Xie sent her back to Luoyang, and Cai Yan, Zou Yuan, Si Xiaomei and the ministers who came to celebrate her birthday also returned to Luoyang together.

The tiger prison was closed, and Liu Xie, who was eleven years old (if there is no special explanation, the age is already imaginary), stood against the wind.

Facing the alliance of princes three arrows away, Liu Xie roared: "Cry, you scheming warlords! ”

There were a group of generals standing beside him: Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Cai Yan'er, Wen Yin.

Ma Feng and Ma Dai are not yet adults, they only watch the battle, and do not participate in the war.

After inspecting the city wall, all the generals returned to the camp, Liu Xie only Liu Xie left only Yan Er and Yanyun two female generals, and continued to observe the enemy camp, because the distance was too far, it was not very clear.

The scouts had already detected it, and the coalition of princes had prepared a large number of siege equipment, including catapults. Liu Xie ordered to go down, and whenever he saw a catapult within range, he would bombard it with a sunset crossbow.

After observing on the city wall, Liu Xie suddenly came up with a plan, so he called Yan'er and Yanyun to come over, and whispered so.

After he finished speaking, both of them looked at him in surprise, and Liu Xie asked, "What's the matter, can you do it?" Say a word. ”

Yanyun said: "Your Majesty is really wise, you can come up with such an idea, but you can give it a try." ”

"That's fine, it'll be done tonight."

After looking at the city wall again, the three of them came down and returned to the camp tent, and Liu Xie instructed Xiao Luozi to arrange the plan just now.

At nightfall, Liu Xie and Yan Er Yanyun came to the city wall again, and at the same time brought a thousand archers, each with corresponding items.

Yan'er still looked worried: "Can this work?" ”

"If it doesn't work, let's try it," Liu Xie said, and ordered to start preparing.

It turned out that the archers brought with them were toilet paper and newspapers. Liu Xie ordered: each archer should prepare five arrows, and each arrow should be tied with toilet paper or newspaper.

For bows and arrows, a roll of toilet paper is too heavy, and tying it to the arrow will seriously affect the range, so Liu Xie asked the soldiers to tear a roll of toilet paper, divide it into ten points, and tie it to ten arrows respectively.

Every piece of torn toilet paper had to be written with various words of persuasion. As for the newspaper, there is no need to write, and the content published in the newspaper "New World" is originally a good propaganda material.

In addition to the archers, several marching doctors also followed, each carrying a small wooden bucket in their hands, and after all the arrows were tied with toilet paper and newspapers, these imperial doctors distributed face towels to some soldiers and told everyone to bring them, and then carefully opened the small wooden barrel, and emphasized that the medicinal powder inside should not get on the skin.

Liu Xiehe and the two girls both put on their scarves, and the small medicine cartridges were far away.

A imperial physician walked over, and he stopped walking far away from Liu Xie and the three of them, but knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this medicinal powder is colorless, tasteless, and very toxic, and after touching the skin, it will cause the skin to ulcerate, itch and abnormal, and it will be difficult to heal for a long time." ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Let everyone be careful, try not to touch your hands, and after you finish using it, go down and wash your hands immediately!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After the Imperial Doctor answered, he returned to the line.

Several imperial physicians poured the powder from the medicine barrel into a rectangular wooden box, and then asked the soldiers to dip the paper tied to the arrow in the powder, and after dipping it, shoot it out immediately.

Due to the small number of medicine barrels, the process of dipping the medicine was very slow, and it lasted for more than an hour, and all the 5,000 arrows carried by a thousand archers were dipped in the powder and shot out.

Then the archers and the physicians packed up and went down to find a place with water to wash their faces and hands.

Liu Xie beckoned the two girls to come to the city wall and looked ahead, because it was night, the arrows were far away, and they couldn't see the situation in front clearly.

Yan Er said: "Your Majesty, will they come to pick it up?" ”

Liu Xie shook his head and said, "I don't know if they will come to pick it up. But paper is still tempting to them. ”

Yan Er nodded and said: "We Luoyang people can use high-quality and inexpensive paper, but if they want to use a roll of high-quality paper, they have to pay a high price of 200 Wen to buy it." I think there will be people who will take the risk to pick up the paper and use it back. ”

Liu Xie sighed and said: "It's a pity that there are too few arrows, and the medicine paper sent over can't be too much, and the effect is very little." ”

Yan Yun said: "Five thousand arrows is already a lot, and the arrows belong to the materials that are needed, and it is a waste to use too much." ”

Yan Er said: "It's only 5,000 arrows, I have 60,000 elite soldiers here, and the standard arrows for each soldier are 30, which is a total of 1.8 million arrows." ”

Liu Xie attaches great importance to the amount of arrows, and every soldier, whether it is cavalry, infantry, or equipment, must be equipped with a bow or crossbow, and crossbow arrows are slightly shorter than bows and arrows.

Whether it is a bow or a crossbow arrow, each soldier is equipped with thirty as standard.

Such a large amount of arrows will be very large, but Liu Xie has a new technology of bow and crossbow arrow production workshop, every day can produce a large number of bows and arrows, in the past two years of production, the rear arsenal has hundreds of millions of arrows, and is constantly expanding the scale of production.

The three of them and Xiao Luozi observed the city wall for a long time, but they didn't see anyone from the enemy army coming to fetch arrows, so they looked bored, so they didn't look at it anymore and went back to the camp to rest

The next morning, however, a sergeant came to report that in the early morning a number of enemy troops had rushed to the pass to collect arrows, and that the 5,000 arrows carrying toilet paper and newspapers and stained with poison had been basically picked up.

Liu Xie couldn't help but smile, thinking about these enemy soldiers wiping their buttocks with poisoned toilet paper, causing the door to fester, he couldn't help but feel a chrysanthemum tight, so sour, it was beyond words.

In the morning, Liu Xie convened the generals to discuss the matter, and some generals said that the alliance of the princes was basically assembled, and they might come to fight in the next day or two.

During the discussion, a sergeant entered the account and said: "Yuan Shaojun shot an arrow to send a piece of paper. ”

"Text?" Liu Xie was puzzled and said, "Present it." ”

I saw that the paper used for the next inscription from the arrow was actually Luoyang toilet paper, and I didn't know if there was any medicinal powder on it, Xiao Luozi had already taken it and whispered: "Your Majesty, there is no medicinal powder." ”

Liu Xie said: "Read." ”

Xiao Luozi began to read:

"and tell the world with righteousness: Puppet Emperor Liu ...... deceived the heavens and the earth, tampered with the edicts, and detained the emperor; Messing with the palace ban and mutilating living beings; Wolves are unkind, and sins are accumulated! Today, under the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, a large number of volunteers were gathered, vowing to sweep away China and kill the murderers. Wangxing righteous teachers, venting public anger; Support the royal family and save the people. When the text arrives, it can be pursued quickly! ”
