The man replied, "Governor, when you go down, Gao Beijia is not in the pasture. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Liu Zhongmu Supervisor Liu said that Gao Beijia had been gone for a day, saying that he was going to find medicine for General Guo. ”

Guo Xiaoke was relieved, this is about the same.

He instructed, "Go and fetch Gao Min, and I'll discuss something with him." "The man," the governor, Gao Changshi is also in the ranch village, "Maybe Gao Min is on some business, and the governor ordered, "Then bring me the Luo De knife." ”

"Back to the capital, Lord Luo is not ......"

"Could it be that he's in Ranch Village too?" Seeing that person nodded again, Guo Xiaoke's eyes narrowed, if this is the case, then it is worth guessing what Gao Jun wants to do. Guo Xiaoke couldn't sit still any longer, and said, "Go to the ranch village immediately to see what is going on!" ”

When Guo Dudu arrived at the ranch village, he saw a lot of wood stacked in the Liuzhong pasture, and there were more than 20 carpenters invited from Liuzhong County, Jiaohe County, and Puchang County. The frame of six or seven wooden carts was placed on the open field outside, which was not yet finalized.

Gao Min and Luo Dao heard that they had arrived, and they came out of it to meet each other. Guo Xiaoke asked, "What are you busy with?" ”

Gao Min and Luo Dao told the truth, "Chief Pastoral Supervisor Gao said that he would go to Qiuzi Wild Pasture in the next few days, which is building a car and pulling some things for wild herding in the future." ”

Guo Xiaoke couldn't see that they were lying, so he hugged his shoulders and stood on the side, "You go on, I'll take a look." The two men did not know where to put their hands, and the governor said, "it! The chief historian of Xizhou and Hu Cao joined the army to build a car, so the scale of the wild grazing of the chief pastor Gao must be not small. ”

Gao Min and Luo Dao were embarrassed and said, "Governor, don't forget, he is not only the chief pastor, but also the Xizhou Don't Drive, don't drive what the Lord tells us, how dare we not listen!" ”

It didn't take long for Guo Xiaoke to see the doorway. This is no ordinary car at all, the compartment is closed, flat and low, and it can't hold much at all. Two craftsmen were carrying a huge bow to the carriage, and the beam of the giant bow was a square log, with arrow grooves dug into it.

Guo Xiaoke suddenly realized and said to Gao Min, "I remember, you used to be an ordnance supervisor in Chang'an, this is to let Gao Jun arrest you as a laborer, he is going to build a crossbow!" ”

The shape of this kind of crossbow is huge, and the person can not carry it, and it can not be pulled, so it can only be placed on the ox cart, and the winch is wound with manpower, it has appeared briefly in the Warring States period, and it is called the repeater at that time, which is to take a plurality of hard crossbows into one piece, and one shot is six or seven, ten or so long arrows, but unfortunately the descendants were once lost.

Judging from its size, Guo Xiaoke knew that this weapon was extremely powerful when dealing with cavalry in the field. It can't be called an arrow anymore, it's a javelin! In the face of its powerful and accurate impact, the armor of all horses and men was of no avail, not even the wooden wall built on the battlements could not resist its blow.

Guo Dudu was born in martial arts, and when he saw this thing, he immediately asked them with interest about their design intentions. And he came up with the idea of whether it was possible to tie the winch to the wheel, and tighten the string when the oxen pulled the ballista. In this way, the manpower winch is saved, and at least two or three people are saved.

Gao Min's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly went into the house to ponder.

Luo Dao looked at it and smiled secretly, and said in his heart that Guo Dudu had forgotten his original intention of coming. He accompanied Guo Xiaoke to the iron furnace, where the head of the giant javelin and the iron blade used as the tail feather of the javelin were being made, and there was no grass in the grass house not far away, where there were a lot of long bamboos, of various thicknesses, were being sawn into long and short barrels of different specifications.

Guo Xiaoke had some questions, "Where did the money come from for such a big project of yours?" ”

Lot said, "The tall man made the tools for the wild herding and grazing, and of course there is a place for the silver. I also heard that Gao Yu made a lot of money in the pastures, and he also volunteered a large sum of silver," he explained, "Don't worry, the second master of Gao Yu said that he doesn't have to pay back the money." ”

Guo Xiaoke didn't say anything, but he was very emotional in his heart. There is no need to guess what Gao Jun is doing now, and he will not be willing to wait for Zhao to be seriously injured in Qiuzi.

But this time, Guo Xiaoke also saw that Gao Jun would not go out with the shepherd team like last time. The five cities of Qiuzi, the cities are strong, and they support each other, it is an extremely difficult bone to gnaw, and he is preparing.

The eldest son is still lying in bed and I don't know what to do, Gao Min's wife Ding, Deng Yulong, and Lirong are all in Xizhou to accompany the eldest daughter-in-law Liu, give her relief, and help take care of the edict.

And Gao Jun, Gao Min, Luo Dao, and Gao Yu in the ranch are also doing the same thing. If the edict knew that there were so many people busy preparing for his revenge, I don't know how to feel.

But where do people come from? He Guo Xiaoke has no one either! He has no right to transfer troops from elsewhere.

At noon, a horse team galloped forward quickly outside the pasture, and it turned out to be the eldest grandson Wuji arrived. Guo Xiaoke happened to be in the ranch, and when he greeted the eldest grandson, Guo Xiaoke smiled and said, "It's really heartfelt, I said that I always feel that there is a noble person coming, so I ran here first to wait!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at this big stall and asked, "Dudu, has there been a workshop in the ranch?" Guo Xiaoke hurriedly explained, "This is the utensils of Tianshan Muyemu, I just saw it." ”

Guo Xiaoke accompanied the eldest grandson to the old village, he specialized in Cheng for the late crown princess Su. Su was working with the village women in the silkworm room, and she had already seen a team of horses enter the pasture, but she didn't know where it came from. When he saw the eldest grandson, Su hurriedly bowed down and called him uncle.

The eldest grandson Wuji saw Su's complexion, white and red, and the person was even more enchanting, and he was angry that because her life had a stable settlement and something to do, the impact of those tragic encounters in the past on her seemed to have gradually disappeared.

Looking at the Su family's independent courtyard in the old village, there were servants waiting in the courtyard and the outside of the courtyard was very strictly guarded, so he was even more at ease. So he looked left and right, "Governor, why don't you see Gao Beijia?" I've heard him for a long time, but I've not seen him, and I'm trying to see him. ”

Only then did he talk about Guo Zhizhao's injury and the secret letter in the butterfly qin, and the eldest grandson Wuji said, "I know about this, but Gao Beijia's move is a little inappropriate, didn't the governor remind him?" ”

Guo Xiaoke understood the meaning of the eldest grandson's words, as if his performance was a little acquiescing to Gao Jun's actions.

He was a little embarrassed and said, "Lord Eldest Sun, why don't I know? It's just that I'm the same as you, and I haven't seen Gao Jun's side until now. When the time comes, you and I just persuade him, Xizhou can only protect himself, and there is no extra force to help him. ”

The eldest grandson said, "The battlefield of Goryeo was personally conquered by His Majesty, and the strength of the whole country is concentrated in the east. Although there is Princess Wencheng in Tubo, and the official also knows that the fourth lady of Gao Beijia is the sister of the Khan of the Jieli Department, but the major national affairs look at the strength, and the in-laws say that they are so fragile in front of interests! ”

His awakening is not unreasonable: if the Tang Dynasty loses Xizhou, Qiuzi sits on the big side, Tubo and Mobei have changes, the Silk Road is interrupted, and Guan and Long are forced, what is the grim situation?

Guo Xiaoke could only instruct Liu Wu to say, "Find Gao Jun quickly, I and the eldest grandson have something to say to him!" ”
