Although Liu Tong saw that the lethality of the use of oil was so huge, and thought of biological and chemical weapons and atomic bombs, although the emergence of oil in this era had great lethality and changed people's perception of nature, this is not a biological weapon after all.

Biological and chemical weapons generally refer to bacteriological weapons, which refer to weapons made of material materials such as bacteria, viruses, toxins, etc., that cause disease or death to humans, animals, and plants. But as a mass destruction, it is not an exaggeration to attribute oil to chemical weapons when it is used in warfare in this era. This is the reason why Liu Tong is in a heavy mood.

Liu Tong finally understood Liu Kuan's use of Xianyu silver at this moment. As he grew older, Liu Tong didn't understand why Xian Yuyin, as Liu Kuan's descendant and the backbone of Liu Kuan's earliest followers, did not lead the army in a state or hold an important position above the army commander. It turned out that in Liu Kuan's eyes or Xian Yuyin, they had long realized the importance of some materials, such as oil, new iron-smelting technology, coal, and so on. It is far more meaningful for Xian Yuyin to control these than to control tens of thousands of troops! Xian Yuyin is not unreused, on the contrary, he has gained greater trust than others.

Just when Liu Tong was thinking about the problem alone, Chen Gong came back, "Master Hou, Chen Lan has come down the mountain and is attacking the Recruiting Department, General Wuqiu Jian has mobilized a large number of catapults and oil drums, and the Recruiting Department has also carried out oil drum throwing, and the Lei Bo camp has been reduced to ashes!" ”

Liu Tong didn't have the slightest joy, and Chen Gong couldn't speak anymore when he saw Liu Tong in such a mood. Liu informed that Wu Qiujian saw the benefits of oil, and that he would definitely use it on a large scale in order to reduce the casualties of his army, which was understandable. But as Liu Tong, who has a modern mindset, although he is not as benevolent and merciful as Liu Yu and Liu Kuan, he does not want to see such a killing in the civil war. Liu Tong thought to himself, if Liu Kuan knew the result, would he dispose of himself.

Thinking of this, Liu Tong also estimated that Lei Bo had lost his ability to resist, and Chen Lanye had been surrounded, Liu Tong got up and said to Chen Gong solemnly: "Shout to Lei Bo and Chen Lan, let them surrender." Organize manpower to rescue burned people! If we kill too much, we will not only be useless, but we will also be severely punished by my father. Tell my second uncle what I said, and ask him to remove all the catapults. ”

Half an hour later, Wu Qiu Jian returned, and he was in a good mood, but when he entered the camp, he also put away his happy expression. Liu Tong's words reminded him that he knew Liu Kuan too well, and what he did would not be a credit in Liu Kuan's eyes, and Qiu Jian didn't want Liu Kuan to think that he was a murderer.

"Tong'er, Lei Bo and Lei Xu have brought it!" Wu Qiu Jian sat down after a few sips of water. After hearing this, Liu Tong knew that the Lei Bo camp had been breached.

Liu Tong put away his heavy heart, got up and patted his armor, and when he came to the outside of the big tent, he saw that the two generals were tied up outside the door, their armor was damaged, and they had to be burned. Liu Tong saw that the slightly older military general was tall and elegant, although he was a little embarrassed at this time, he was not discouraged, and he had a sense of arrogance all over his body. The other general was three or five years younger, in his thirties, stout and short, and stood with his head bowed to the side.

Liu informed that Lei Bo could resist Yuan Shu's mediocrity and extravagance, and he was naturally a man of style. He came behind the older general and personally helped him untie the rope. Lei Bo was very surprised, but he didn't say a word, and his head was still high. Liu Tong waved his hand to signal the soldiers to untie Lei Xu's rope, and Liu Tong beckoned while entering the account. The soldiers pushed Lei Bo and Lei Xu into the big tent.

Liu Tong sat in the handsome position, motioned for Lei Bo and Lei Xu to sit, Lei Xu came to his senses at this time, and after snorting coldly, he said: "There is only a general with a broken head, and there is no Lei Xu who surrenders!" Liu Tong looked at Lei Bo and saw that he didn't move at all, looking arrogant.

Wu Qiu Jian was about to get angry when he saw this, Liu Tong said: "General Lei Bo, Yuan Shu is rebellious and mediocre, and the generals are not the same, Liu Tong naturally admires them. However, above the battle array, you and I fight each other, and we have our own intentions, so why bother. I just admire the general's character, but I don't expect the general to surrender! You may be seated. ”

Lei Bo was very surprised when he heard this, so he sat down generously, and Lei Xu also sat down with a big grin when he saw this.

"General Lei, Chen Lan came to the rescue of you, it can be seen that he has a deep friendship with the general, now Chen Lan is less than 30,000 horses, has been surrounded by my 100,000 army, do not hide the general, last night Gao Shun fell into the nine battalions, has been ambushed under the Tianzhu Peak, Chen Lan has been besieged, Gao Shun army is our national army infantry force, rampant in the world, few opponents. General, Chen Lan is also a righteous person, I can't bear to sacrifice tens of thousands of good sons and daughters needlessly, and the general can't bear to die for himself in his robe? Liu Tong looked at Lei Bo after speaking.

Lei Bo's expression was painful, and he slowly asked, "What does Champion Hou want?" ”

Liu Tong said: "Is the general willing to go with General Wuqiu to persuade him to surrender?" After Chen Lan's surrender, I won't reorganize your army, you and General Chen Lan can still unify the army, and I won't let you surrender to me, I will arrange your whereabouts! Lei Bo wanted to ask Liu Tong how to arrange him, but he held back.

Wu Qiu Jian got up after hearing this, and Lei Bo also got up when he saw this. Liu Tong said: "General Lei Xu also go together, after the persuasion is successful, I hope that the two generals will restrain their subordinates, and everything will be placed under the Marshal Wuqiu Jian, I hope that you will open up territory for me in the future, expand the territory for my Han Dynasty, establish immortal achievements, and hope that you can leave a name in history!" ”

Lei Bo is also a smart person, after hearing this, he knew that Liu Tong was going to the frontier to lead the troops to open up the territory, Lei Bo was already tired of the melee of the princes, and after hearing this, he was relieved, and strode out of the camp with Wuqiu Jian.

Because of Lei Bo's prestige, Chen Lanbu quickly surrendered. Liu Tong's move killed two birds with one stone, one was to try to maintain the strength of Lei Bo and Chen Lanbu, Lei Bo killed more than 10,000 people in the battle, wounded more than 10,000 people, plus Chen Lanbu's surrender, a total of more than 43,000 people. That night, Liu Tong hosted a banquet for Lei Bo, Chen Lan, Mei Cheng, Lei Xu and other generals.

On the second day, Liu Tong led the recruitment of 10,000 troops, led by his deputy general, to escort Lei Bo and Chen Lanbu to Yecheng. Liu Tong wrote to Liu Kuan to report the battle report and his next step.

Regarding the handling of Lei Bo and Chen Lanbu, Liu Tong expressed his attitude in the letter. Although Lei Bo and Chen Lan rebelled against Yuan Shu, they were still actually bandits, and they plundered the people, and it was necessary to continue to keep the use of oil secret, send them to the Korean Peninsula, follow Liu Bei to fight against foreign tribes, let them make up for their mistakes, and make contributions to China, or let them bring a large number of catapults and oil drums to pour out their pain to the sticks on the peninsula. Liu Tong also estimated that Liu Bei had been fighting all year round, and his troops should be insufficient, which was also a supplement to him.

Liu Tong sent another letter to Xian Yufu to ask him to speed up the march, and he repaired on the spot, preparing to join Xian Yufu's army and conquer Runan and Ruyin in one fell swoop.

Liu Tong still couldn't help but be curious, and after Lei Bo and Chen Lan left, he still took Chen Gong, Wuqiu Jian, Wu Ji, Lou Ban and others to visit Tianzhu Mountain.

One day, Chen Gong came to report that a man named Xu Xuan had come to ask to see him. Liu Tong didn't know who Xu Xuan was, Chen Gong said: "Hou Ye, Xu Xuan is the son of Xu Shu, the general of the original Duliao, a native of Guangling Haixi, who once served as the assassin of Jingzhou, and once attacked the Yellow Turban Thieves with General Zhu Jun, and made great contributions to Sheji. Later, he was framed by the eunuch Zhang Zhong and dismissed, and later came back to serve as the Taishou of Runan and the Minister of the East China Sea. After Yuan Shu became emperor, Xu Xuan was kidnapped by Yuan Shu and awarded Xu Xuan the position of prince, Xu Xuan did not obey, and Yuan Shu did not dare to force him. Now that Yuan Shu is dead, Xu Xuan escaped and prepared to go to Luoyang, and heard that the Hou Ye was here, so he came to meet him. ”

After Liu Tong heard this, he didn't expect Xu Xuan to be such an amazing person, "Gongtai Gong, where is Mr. Xu, take me to meet quickly!" ”

Seeing that Liu Tong valued Xu Xuan so much, Chen Gong shouted outside the tent: "Brother Meng Yu, come in!" ”

When Liu Tong heard that Xu Xuan was outside the tent, he quickly jumped up and strode over. When he didn't reach the door, Liu Tong saw a majestic Confucian man in his forties slowly walking in, holding a yellow package in his hand, very cautious.

After Liu Tong hurriedly saluted him, seeing that Xu Xuan was also going to salute him, Liu Tong hurriedly supported Xu Xuan and pulled him to his seat. Xu Xuan didn't sit down, bent down and handed the yellow package in his hand to Liu Tong with both hands. Liu Tong was puzzled, thinking that it was a gift, so he took it and put it on the table, turned around and continued to invite Xu Xuan to sit down.

Xu Xuan waved his hand and said: "Hou Ye, you and Yan Guogong are relatives of the Han Dynasty, Xu Xuan is fortunate to send the national weapon today, please hand it over to Your Majesty!" When Liu Tong heard this, he was very surprised, and he didn't know what the national weapon was.

Chen Gong was also very curious, so he gently opened the package. As soon as the package was opened, Chen Gong exclaimed. Liu passed to see that there were three large seals in the package.

Liu Tong saw a rather large, it is a good white jade, on the tiger button, Liu Tong picked it up and turned it over, only to see that the seal on it reads "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang"!

Liu informed that this is the jade seal of the country! Great joy, what an unexpected joy! Liu Tong put down the national seal, turned around and saluted Xu Xuan, and said, "Meng Yugong has made great contributions to Sheji!" ”
