Gao Shun and Zhang Liao accompanied Lu Bu in the army.

The servants came to the school grounds.

On the school ground, the soldiers of several phalanxes were practicing.

Among them is a team of archers, who are aiming at the target in front of them to practice archery.

Standing aside and watching for a while, Lu Bu asked Zhang Liao and Gao Shun: "How many strong crossbows are there in the army?" ”

"Strong crossbows make trouble, and there are not many equipment in the army." Zhang Liao replied: "Moreover, the strong crossbow is shot straight to the enemy, and most of the time it is useful when the two armies are facing each other, and it is not as good as a bow and arrow when attacking the city." So there is only a small amount of equipment in the army, and there are not too many. ”

"Get me a crossbow and take it away." Lu Bu commanded.

"Someone!" Zhang Liao shouted behind him: "Fetch a strong crossbow for Wen Hou." ”

One of the guards was ordered to retreat.

After a while, he arrived with a strong crossbow in both hands.

Sun Ce, who was following behind Lu Bu, stepped forward to take the strong crossbow.

"What does Wen Hou want to do with a strong crossbow?" Gao Shun asked.

"You said the crossbow isn't too practical, I'm thinking about taking it back and improving it." Lu Bu said: "Crossbows use machine springs, while arrows need to bend their arms and open their bows. If you can make a strong crossbow with a slight modification, one person can reload it and the other fire, it will take much less time on the battlefield, but it will be much more practical than a strong bow. ”

"Can a crossbow be fired in bursts?" Zhang Liao and Gao Shun asked in unison.

Not only were they puzzled, but even Sun Ce, who was following behind, was at a loss.

If Lu Bu could really create a strong crossbow, where would there be any more opponents in the world?

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun accompanied Lu Bu to check around in the army for a while, and Lu Bu left the barracks.

"Can Wen Hou really create a burst of strong crossbows?" Walking out of the barracks, Sun Ce still didn't believe that Lu Bu could really create a killing weapon that he couldn't even imagine.

"Not only do I want to build a repeating crossbow, but I also want to build a scattering crossbow suitable for the Air Force in the future." Lu Bu smiled: "There are many things that are not originally available in this world, and people can figure them out." I was willing to ponder, so I had the Air Force. I can even build an airplane, but what is a strong crossbow that can fire continuously? ”

Having seen gliders flying overhead with his own eyes and suffered the losses of gliders, Sun Ce certainly no longer doubted Lu Bu's words.

"Bo Fu." Lu Bu suddenly asked him: "If one day we are surrounded by enemy legions, the other party tells you that as long as you cut off my head, you can get Jiangdong." What would you choose? ”

His question was very tricky, and Sun Ce didn't expect it at all.

Looking at Lu Bu in astonishment, Sun Ce asked, "What does Wen Hou mean by asking this?" ”

"Jiangdong was taken by me, don't you hold a grudge at all?" Lu Bu asked again.

"To be honest, I did hold a grudge at the beginning." Sun Ce replied: "But after following Wen Hou these days, I am more and more afraid and unable to hold a grudge. ”

"Why?" The answer given by Sun Ce made Lu Bu a little surprised.

"Fighting alone is not Wenhou's opponent, and the two armies are not opponents when they arrange their troops." Sun Ce pouted and smiled: "Wen Hou can still make so many strange weapons, and he can often win on the battlefield. It is already a great favor for Wen Hou to allow me to live, how dare I hold a grudge? ”

"That is, you will stand with me?" Lu Bu gently patted him on the shoulder.

"I remember that Wen Hou promised that when the world is calm, he will give Jiangdong to me." Sun Ce replied, "I'll wait for that day." ”

"What is Gangdong?" Lu Bu said: "When the time comes, I will give you three assassins, so that you will be busy all day long, and see if you don't come to beg me for mercy." ”

Lu Bu now only occupies two assassin history departments, and there are Cao Cao and Yuan Shao around him.

In such an environment, he actually said that he would give Sun Ce three assassins in the future, if he hadn't seen his ability, Sun Ce really thought that he was arrogant and arrogant to the extreme.

"With me every day, do you feel that it is difficult to display your skills?" Lu Bu asked Sun Ce again.

"Not really." Sun Ce replied: "By following Wen Hou's side, I can also learn a lot. ”

"Since you don't think so, I'll give you a chance." Lu Bu slapped his arm again: "Select five thousand elites and set up a trouble-relieving army." What do you think of the fact that you don't have to answer to anyone, but only at my disposal? ”

"Annoyance soldiers?" Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and blurted out the number repeated.

Lu Bu said that the trouble-relieving soldiers did appear in history.

It's just that according to the original history, they should have appeared more than twenty years later, when Liu Bei, who had become the lord of Shu, sent troops to attack Eastern Wu.

According to the course of history, Sun Ce should have been assassinated by Xu Gong's disciples at this time.

Lü Bu captured the city of Anhui, and Jiangdong surrendered to him from Sun Ce down, just breaking what should have happened.

In fact, history is no longer the same, and Lu Bu believes that there is no need to dwell on everything he knows.

It's already different, so make it different completely!

The number that was supposed to appear twenty years later was not wrong with taking it out in advance.

"The Annoyance Relief Soldiers are also 5,000 people?" Sun Ce asked.

Lu Bu now has two elites in his hands, and the trapping camp and the Bai Wei army are both composed of 5,000 people.

But those two elites were not by Lu Bu's side all day long.

The anti-annoyance soldiers he wants to establish are really the guards who follow Lu Bu every day.

"Five people are in a team, and five thousand soldiers and horses are exactly a thousand soldiers." Lu Bu said: "On the battlefield, if the number of soldiers is too small, wouldn't they send them to the enemy army to be killed? ”

Walking along the street on horseback, Lu Bu said again: "The soldiers have followed me, and they have already suffered a lot, and they can no longer ignore their lives. ”

"Wen Hou is sympathetic to his subordinates, no wonder the soldiers are willing to serve." Sun Ce replied: "I have found another reason not to turn my back. ”

"No more turning our backs, we are brothers." Lu Bu said: "When I was very young, I heard that the overlord of Western Chu was powerful, and at that time I decided to be a hero like him. Now I don't think like that anymore, I won't be him, even though he is a hero, he finally died in Wujiang, and even the woman he loved most was buried in that battle. Born as a man, he can't even protect the woman he loves, what kind of sadness and desolation is that......"

"That's why Wen Hou didn't break through the city in the Battle of Xiapi." Sun Ce said: "Even if it is dangerous, Wen Hou has never regretted it? ”

In the early stage of the Battle of Xiapi, it was not Lu Bu who was fighting today.

But Sun Ce guessed like this, and he didn't want to say anything, so he just smiled and said: "After the Battle of Xiapi, I will never give anyone a chance again, threatening everyone I cherish." ”

Turning his head to look at Sun Ce, Lu Bu continued: "This also includes brothers like you who are willing to follow me from birth to death!" ”
