In September, in a military camp outside the city of Luoyang.

A platoon of soldiers holds a large yellow crossbow in both hands, one eye closed, and the other eye against a wooden cylinder on the large yellow crossbow. At the same time, hold the tail of the rhubarb crossbow tightly on your shoulder.

"Ready...... Three-stage strike...... Shoot! ”

At the sound of an order, the soldiers pulled the trigger one after another, and one after another crossbow arrows shot out from the string, "Puff puff!" They all hit the target about 150 paces on the opposite side.

After the shooting, the soldiers in this row quickly retreated, and the soldiers in the back row stepped forward through the gap, raised the big yellow crossbow in their hands, took aim, and shot out.

"Hehe, Wenyuan, the training is good, but in a month, the soldiers have reached this level~" Looking at the training of the soldiers, Li Yi's face was full of smiles, obviously very satisfied with the results he saw.

"This is thanks to the new rhubarb crossbow developed by the Ministry of Industry, if it is replaced by the old-fashioned kind of crossbow arrow, I am afraid it will take at least two months to ensure the accuracy." When Zhang Liao heard this, he responded with a respectful voice.

As Zhang Liao said, these soldiers used the Ministry of Works' improvement according to Li Yi's proposal. Compared to the original rhubarb, the new rhubarb crossbow has an added crossbow holder, allowing soldiers to stabilize the crossbow machine with the help of their shoulders.

At the same time, a cylinder for aiming was added to the crossbow machine, which Li Yici named the sight. Although compared to later sights, this sight did not have lenses. However, it can achieve the effect of increasing the soldier's concentration and making the accuracy higher.

In addition, the new rhubarb crossbow also has a joystick, which soldiers can use to pull the crossbow string with the power of machinery.

"Well, if it's just the head, I don't need to say much. However, the fact that these soldiers are so proficient in the three-stage strike method cannot be said to be the work of weapons. And in addition, isn't it Wenyuan's contribution that this army's march, formation, advance and retreat can be so neatly aligned? Seeing Zhang Liao so modest, Li Yi couldn't help but laugh.

As the war got closer and closer, Li Yi began to frequently inspect the military camps in various places, but he valued those local troops more than the four major battalions. Because these people are the real main force of the war. And with the training intensity of the four battalions, Li Yi really didn't need to worry about anything.

Back at Zhao Wangfu, Xun Yu and the others were already waiting in the conference hall.

"Your Highness, this is the ...... of the amount of military supplies, grain and grass sent from all over the country," Xun Yu handed over a document.

Flipping through it casually, after half a ring, Li Yi nodded with satisfaction, "In this way, even if you keep it for a year and a half, it will not be a problem." ”

"If General Lu and the others hear His Highness's words, they will definitely think about it again." Hearing Li Yi's words, Guo Jia showed a strange smile.

"To fight, it is natural to choose the safest way~" Li Yi shook his head and smiled. "War, in addition to competing with generals, strategists, and troops, also has to compete with both sides in terms of money, food, soldiers, and people's hearts...... In this case, a counter-attack is the way to go. ”

He naturally knew that now Lu Bu and the soldiers from all over the country were gearing up for a big battle. In particular, Yan Liang, who was in Wei County, and Wen Chou, who was in Taiyuan, sent a letter to Li Yi respectively. Wen Chou pleaded with Li Yi in his letter that he must remember to let him go into battle this time, even if he is willing to be a partial general.

And what about Yan Liang? sprinkled with thousands of words, how to resist Yuan Shao's attack, how to counterattack, how to attack Yuan Shao's territory, and finally take Jizhou and Youzhou......

It can be seen that Yan Liang has not done anything in Yecheng all these years, not only has he explored the situation in Jizhou a lot, but also found out a lot of facts and truths.

While Li Yi was preparing, Yuan Shao and the three parties were also preparing on the eve of the war.

In the grassland north of Liaoxi County, Youzhou.

"Captain Yan, Jun also knows that this king is now at war with that Budugen, although he really wants to personally lead the army to support His Royal Highness King Yan, but he is really powerless......" Su Li looked at Yan Rou with a look of embarrassment and said.

"Shan Yu, before this official came, His Royal Highness specially instructed that he must invite reinforcements from your country. If this official returns empty-handed, not only will it be difficult to explain to His Highness, but I am afraid that it will also provoke His Highness's monstrous anger......" Yan Rou looked directly at Su Li, although his tone was flat, but with a hint of threat, "In addition, Wuhuan Shan Yu has already promised to send 30,000 elite cavalry, and he even bluntly said that if the war is anxious, he will send reinforcements again......"

"This ......," Su Li said, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting. On the surface, it still looks sad.

Seeing that Su Li didn't speak, Yan Rou didn't urge, just sat quietly in her position, tasting the mare's milk wine unique to the grassland.

After a long while, Su Li seemed to have finally made up his mind, looked at Yan Rou and said in a deep voice, "In this way, this king will first send 20,000 elite horsemen to assist His Royal Highness King Yan." After speaking, he saw a trace of dissatisfaction flashing on Yan Rou's face, and hurriedly explained, "This king's army is still fighting against that step of the root, even if you want to transfer back, it will take a while. However, this king promised that if His Royal Highness King Yan still needs more reinforcements after the war, this king will definitely send more people! ”

"Alas...... Since there are difficulties alone, it has to be so. Yan Rou sighed when she heard this, and then talked with Su Li for a while before getting up and leaving.

Soon after he left, a young man walked in, "Why is Brother Wang so afraid of that Han man? Now that our department has almost unified the eastern grassland, even if the Yan King wants to be the enemy of Brother Wang, will they still dare to go deep into the grassland?! ”

This person is the brother of Su Li. He is brave and skillful in bows and horses.

"Nonsense! Could it be that a small western prairie has made you get carried away? Don't forget how we lost to that Li Yi in the past! Su Li immediately rebuked angrily when he heard this.

After speaking, Su Li saw that Cheng Lugui was still unconvinced, so he had to persuade in a soft tone, "Brother, if we are enemies of King Yan, we can indeed retreat into the prairie." But then, where will you get the sword in your hand, the silk you wear, and the rice you eat? Do you still want to go south as often as you used to? If that's the case, how do you keep the offensive against that bastard in Budugen? ”

"But......" Cheng Lugui heard Su Li's words, and his originally excited expression became a little hesitant, but his face was still full of unwillingness.

"Alas, bowing down to the Han people, my brother and I are also unwilling, but in order to reproduce the glory of the former Tanshi Huai Shan Yu, what is the temporary honor and disgrace? Don't the Han people have a saying? What do you call lying on the wood and licking the bitter gall......" Su Li patted Cheng Lugui's shoulder and persuaded in a deep voice.
