Compared with Lu Bu's actions during this time, although the news of Chen Qi's death made many celebrities angry, but when they were about to carry out another verbal and written attack on Lu Bu, many people were speechless and found that the abuse and criticism they could think of had been used a long time ago, and it could not have any impact on Lu Bu at all.

No matter how happy you are, the people under Lu Bu's rule don't pay attention to you at all, should you support Lu Bu or support, as if you are living in two worlds, which makes those celebrities who are excited to rub their hands and prepare for another wave of verbal criticism and writing suddenly have a boring feeling, it seems that for so many years, they have been singing a one-man show, for a long time, like clowns, what should people do, the people's hearts are stable day by day, and the power is growing day by day.

Before, many families clamored to crusade against Lu Bu, but when Lu Bu really sat in Luoyang and made a posture of doing it, these voices disappeared strangely.

The family needs war to strengthen itself and give themselves more right to speak, but when the war has a great disadvantage for the family, these people are cowardly, and it may not be better than now if they don't fight, but once the war starts, the battle is really unpredictable, and they helplessly find a fact, today's Lu Bu is no longer the contemptuous husband in their eyes in the past, but a man who founded the twenty-four emperors of the Han Dynasty and has never made great achievements.

Over the years, with the trade with Guanzhong, they can realize the strength of Lu Bu, not to mention, after some calculations by many families, if they really start a war, no matter whether they win or lose, their losses will not be small, and if Lu Bu closes the trade between Guanzhong and the Central Plains at this time, many small and medium-sized families may have to lose their money.

This kind of cognition, in exchange for the collective silence of many families in the Central Plains, compared with the vital interests, Chen Qi's death and even the previous terrifying assassination have become insignificant, after all, ...... The dead are gone, and the living are better to survive, especially the people who hold their lifeline, and it seems that they don't take them too seriously.

A strange calm pressed over with Chen Qi's death, everyone vigilantly paid attention to Luoyang's movements, in addition to Cao Cao who was actively preparing for war, Liu Bei was busy cleaning up the recalcitrant Cai Mao in Xiangyang, integrating Jingzhou soldiers and horses, Nanyang also began to reorganize the army, but Lu Bu did not take the next step after arriving in Luoyang, but began to rectify the people's livelihood, operating Luoyang, the only remaining slaves in the Zhangye mine were transferred to build the city, and the five elites who were rumored to be miraculous were also moved.

Regarding the reaction of the Kwantung princes and families, Lu Bu didn't care.

Although it is a bit gloomy to say this, but with Chen Qi's death, Lu Bu only feels refreshed these days, his soul seems to have been washed again, and his thoughts are clear, although the system does not have any prompts, but Lu Bu feels comfortable all over.

The war did not really start, and even the alliance of the princes did not appear, whether it was Lu Bu or Cao Cao, they maintained restraint and did not extend the war in Jizhou to the whole line.

Until the middle of May, the matter of relocation was settled, and the six ministries of rites, officials, military, industry, criminal justice, and finance all moved to Luoyang, leaving only some necessary personnel to inform the merchants who came and went to Chang'an of these changes.

A large number of caravans began to converge to Luoyang, but also drove people from all over the country to gather, it is foreseeable that after another five years, Luoyang may be the next Chang'an, or even more prosperous, after all, compared with Chang'an, Luoyang has more advantages in transportation.

Yecheng, after more than a month of confrontation, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Liao fell into a period of confrontation, Xiahou Yuan was unwilling to attack, and Zhang Liao was not willing to have too many casualties to impact the enemy camp, once out of this temporary construction offensive, casualties were inevitable.

As for the remaining defenders of Yecheng, they are completely dead, they can't attack it, and the other party obviously has no intention of attacking the city, and after more than a month, Zhao De also gave up his plan to attack Xiahou Yuan inside and outside.

In the evening of that day, in an empty alley in Yecheng, the ground suddenly shook a few times, followed by the surrounding ground collapsing without warning.

Just as a group of soldiers on night patrol walked by, they heard the sound and hurried towards the source of the sound.

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

Under the night sky, the soldiers holding torches were like lights in the night, and after a short burst of breaking the air, the soldiers on the night patrol let out a burst of screams, and then fell to the ground.

"Damn, it doesn't work anymore, and there's no place to put soil in the fortifications outside!" One of the generals shook the dirt off his head and complained scoldingly.

"It's important to get down to business!" A steady stream of soldiers came out of the tunnel, looked around, and a scribe asked people to raise torches, spread out the map and look at it carefully, comparing the surrounding scenery, this is the whole map of Yecheng left by Lu Bu back then.

"General Lu, you take people to control the Yecheng army, General Ma, you follow me to get the Yecheng guard!" The scribe put away the map and said in a deep voice.

"Good!" The two generals agreed, and the scribe took Ma Tie straight to the direction of Wang Yecheng's Taishou Mansion, but the other army quickly touched the city wall, along the way, whenever they encountered the night patrol soldiers, they were knocked down by a burst of arrows, but after all, when they were close to the city wall, they were still discovered by the night vigil soldiers.

"What people!" On the city wall, the soldiers defending the city noticed that something was wrong and shouted loudly, but what answered him was a rain of arrows, and the surrounding soldiers and horses were emptied.

"I am Luneng, the partial general under the account of General Zhengdong, Yecheng has been broken, surrender and avoid death!" A rapid rain of arrows brought down the soldiers who wanted to rush up, and Luneng quickly let people occupy important places everywhere, surrounding the panicked Yecheng soldiers.

The soldiers and horses of Yecheng, who had been besieged for more than a month, had seen the power of these crossbow arrows of Lu Bu's army, and their morale had already been worn out.

Zhao De woke up from his sleep, ignored the concubine's panicked inquiry, quickly put on his clothes, and was about to go out, but the door was roughly kicked open.

"Who are you?" Looking at the person who came, although he had a guess in his heart, Zhao De couldn't help but reprimand angrily.

Glancing at the panicked woman on the bed, holding the quilt and trembling, Ma Tie glanced at Zhao De disdainfully, kicked him over, and didn't say much, in the woman's screaming voice, he directly drew his sword and wiped Zhao De's neck.

"Mr. Pei Yi, it's almost." Ma Tie looked at Pei Yi and said, "In this Ye City, there don't seem to be many soldiers and horses. ”

"Don't take it lightly, and ask General Ma to make a hard trip to clear the rebellion in the city as soon as possible, remember, keep the banner in the city, don't let Xiahou Yuan see the clues." The scribe shook his head.

"No problem!" Ma Tie nodded, turned around and began to search for the stragglers in the city with his soldiers and horses.

In the early morning of the next day, the north gate of Yecheng quietly opened, and Zhang Liao, who was covered in dust, entered the city, looked at Pei Yi and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the confidence in Mr., this general would have doubted whether Mr. Pei wanted to bury my 30,000 army alive here!" ”

"The general is serious." Pei Yi said with a smile: "When the camp was first established, it had been estimated and enough space had been reserved, but now it is possible to build a platform behind the wooden village, and the grain, grass and fresh water in the city are enough for our army for a year, but at the moment, Xiahou Yuan cannot see the flaws." ”

"Sir, don't worry, but Xiahou Yuan's actions have been a little abnormal recently." Zhang Liao nodded, because of the partition erected on the wall, that is, Xiahou Yuan built a lookout, and he couldn't see the situation behind the partition, just with the help of the soil excavated in the tunnel to consolidate the offensive.

"The general doesn't need to worry, but now our army only needs to ensure that the rear road is continuous, so that it can be invincible first, and I hope that the general can deploy three thousand soldiers and horses and a pair of equipment." Pei Ang bowed.

"This is natural, with the support of Yecheng, this circle of fortifications alone is enough to make our army invincible, but unfortunately, we can't fight a decisive battle." Zhang Liao said with some regret.

Pei Yi smiled silently.

At the same time, in the camp of Cao's army, Xiahou Yuan did not know that Yecheng had changed hands overnight, but at this moment, he warmly received the helpers sent by Cao Cao for him.

"Mr. Ziyang, I didn't expect the Lord Guild to send you!" Xiahou Yuan enthusiastically took Liu Ye, who came to help, into his tent.

"The lord heard that Lu Bu's equipment was powerful, so he sent Ye to help." Liu Ye smiled and bowed to Xiahou Yuan.

"Not really." Xiahou Yuan smiled bitterly: "The other party not only has powerful crossbow arrows, but also a large crossbow arrow, which has an extremely long range, I wanted to use a thunderbolt to deal with it, but the thunderbolt could not get close at all, so it was shot into a pile of rotten wood by the opponent's crossbow arrows." ”

"Oh?" Liu Ye couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: "The range of the thunderbolt can reach more than 300 steps, but I don't know that the range of the other party's crossbow arrows is even farther than that of the thunderbolt?" ”

"I see that the range of that giant crossbow is no less than 500 paces, and we have attacked several times, but we can't get close to the thunderbolt at all." A military general spat bitterness at Liu Ye.

"Five hundred steps?" Hearing this, Liu Ye's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, in his impression, even the three-stone rhubarb crossbow with the longest range was only four hundred steps at the farthest, and now there was a giant crossbow with a range of up to five hundred steps in Lu Bu's army, which was very surprising.

After thinking about it, Liu Ye looked at Xiahou Yuan and said, "Five years ago, I heard that Jingxiang's soldiers and horses were broken by Lu Bujun with several giant crossbows in Luoyang, and it should be this crossbow, but I don't know how powerful that giant crossbow is?" ”

Liu Ye did not have real power under Cao Cao because of his identity, and now he is specifically responsible for the research and development of equipment, similar to the Ministry of Industry under Lu Bu.

"It's terrifying." Adjutant said.

Liu Ye's face turned dark, and seeing that Xiahou Yuan didn't add, he could only say: "In this way, can you let Ye go to see one or two tomorrow?" ”

"No problem." Xiahou Yuan nodded very happily. (To be continued.) )
