Chapter 59: Xuzhou Changed Hands

"I'm Yuan Yao, and I have a memory of the future in my head;"

"I am a traverser, reborn in the body of Yuan Yao of the Three Kingdoms and have his memory."

When he has nothing to do, these two different consciousnesses often fight in Yuan Yao's mind, and sometimes he is also very confused, everything around him reminds him all the time that he is Yuan Yao of the Three Kingdoms, and he also has the emotions of being Yuan Yao, for example, the recognition of Yuan Shu's father does not make him feel difficult to accept, but he can't help but look at everything in front of him from the perspective of a future person, and even subconsciously tends to be more of a future person. Because he knew that the human civilization during the Three Kingdoms period was much more backward than after 2,000 years, and good things were always more centripetal, just like ethnic minorities who always couldn't help but assimilate themselves into Han Chinese, in order to become a part of Chinese civilization.

Just like the Xianbei people in the Wuhu Rebellion period, after establishing power in the Central Plains, they immediately changed their names and surnames, grew their hair and changed their clothes, and regarded themselves as Han people, and they wiped out their own nation in a few decades; Later, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did the opposite, and came to shave their hair and change their clothes, thinking that they could escape the catastrophe by letting the Han people learn from them, but the result was also difficult to escape the fate of assimilation, which is the centripetal force of advanced civilization, and Yuan Yao's emotions at this time were similar to this situation.

However, this psychological contradiction did not have a great impact on Yuan Yao, because no matter who he was, what he had to do was the same.

Because of the system, he has the opportunity to become a guide in China and take his mother civilization to appreciate the scenery of the earth in advance; Because of the system, he can speed up the construction of civilization and let his compatriots enjoy the civil rights of a high-level civilization in advance.

Yuan Yao had already regarded these two goals as his responsibility, so that little psychological problem was not worth mentioning in his eyes.

……

Today is the day when the second fighting ship is launched, and Yuan Yao originally planned to let the ship hide for a few days without launching for the time being, so as not to provoke Liu Miao to lead a large army to attack. Because of Yuan Yao's shipbuilding efficiency, the longer the peace lasts, the more beneficial it is for him, but because of a battle report from Shouchun, he dispelled this idea-

Lu Bu finally attacked Liu Bei!

After Ji Ling led the army to fight Liu Bei in Huaibei for nearly three months, looking at the undefended Xuzhou, Lu Bu finally couldn't resist the temptation, found an opportunity to turn against Liu Bei, and after beating away Zhang Fei, who was left behind, he controlled most of the counties in just a few days and became the actual controller of Xuzhou.

As for what reason Lu Bu used to turn against the water, no one cares, killing two stepfathers, betraying a peer will only make people happy.

Everyone knew that Zhang Fei had a loud voice, so when he led the rout to Liu Bei's military camp, everyone knew that Xuzhou had changed hands, and the army led by Liu Bei was all from Xuzhou, and they all became chaotic when they heard that their hometown was raided.

Ji Ling has been waiting for this opportunity as planned, and has been waiting for nearly three months, how can he not react after holding it for so long, so he directly ordered the whole army to assault, and the Xuzhou army, which was already demoralized, was instantly defeated!

Liu Bei had no choice but to lead Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to flee north. Ji Ling didn't hold on to it, because he knew what his strategic goal was, and after driving Liu Bei to the north, he suddenly turned around and crossed the Huaishui River and went straight to Guangling County, Xuzhou, located in Huainan.

After the defenders of Guangling knew that Liu Bei lost power and Lu Bu became the master, they were a little unsure of who to be loyal to, and Yuan Shu, the left general of the fourth and third dukes, was not so difficult to accept, at least the strength was big enough not to lose the object of allegiance inexplicably, so after Ji Ling came to Guangling, it could almost be said that he was in a no-man's land, and Yuan Shu's unification of Huainan was already an established fact.

Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news, what surprised him was not that he took Guangling, but that he didn't expect such a good plan to take so long, but then he thought that it took Sun Ce nearly two years to take Lujiang, and it seemed to be easy to accept it in three or four months.

But these are not important, the important thing is that Liu Miao will definitely receive this news, after Yuan Shu unifies Huainan, the nine-layer may be going south to Jiangdong, because his own son is already preparing in Lujiang, when General Zuo's Mansion is known as 200,000 troops going south, the only thing Liu Miao can rely on is the Yangtze River natural danger, so as long as he is not stupid, he will definitely not be able to sit still, so what Yuan Yao is playing to hide the new ship and not launch the water, it is almost equivalent to taking off his pants and farting in one more move, it is better to let the navy have one more boat to speed up training and enhance combat effectiveness.

Another thing worth mentioning is that although Guangling has not yet been taken all, Yuan Shu has appointed Guangling Taishou to cooperate with Ji Ling to take over the territory.

In history, Yuan Shu appointed Sun Ce's uncle Wu Jing as the Guangling Taishou, that is, the former Danyang Taishou who was driven out of Danyang County by Liu Xuan. One of the people didn't do a good job, not only was he not punished, but he immediately changed places and continued to let him do it, Yuan Shu's trust in this family can be said to be brainless.

But now the situation has changed, Yuan Shu did not go to Wu Jing again, but appointed Yuan Jian of the same clan as the Taishou of Guangling, which means that Yuan Shu adopted Yuan Yaoti's employment suggestion, and changed from the strategy of reusing the Jiangdong family to cronyism!

The act of cronyism, no matter where it is, is a kind of corruption and low phenomenon, the historical Yuan Shao is the direct victim of this behavior, he divided the four states of the territory to his three sons and a nephew, as a result, as soon as he died, the two sons fought themselves, and it did not take long for Cao Cao to break each one.

So Yuan Yao is very clear about the consequences of this kind of behavior, but there is no way, who will let Yuan Shu be the emperor, this kind of tiger coercion is not something that anyone dares to follow, how can the relationship between relatives be stronger than outsiders, as for the appointment of meritocracy, it can only be said later!

From the moment Yuan Shu was appointed as the Taishou of Guangling, it proved that Yuan Shu had begun to prepare for the title of emperor.

……

After handing over the second fighting ship to Sun Ce, Yuan Yao left the dock because he still had a lot of things to do. In addition to shipbuilding, he has recently cooperated with Liu Ye to manufacture a counterweight trebuchet, which has not yet been studied in "physics" technology, so if it is not activated, the clone will not be manufactured, and it can only be handed over to people like Liu Ye who love research to try to build.

There is only one kind of trebuchet that has been activated in the system, or there is only one kind of trebuchet in this era, that is, a trebuchet pulled by manpower, and one requires dozens or hundreds of people to operate, which is very labor-intensive.

However, the counterweight trebuchet is different, it replaces the most labor-intensive power source with a hoisted stone, and only ten people can easily complete the operation, which is a revolutionary improvement, and the representative work in history is the Song Dynasty when the Mongols attacked Xiangyang, or called the Xiangyang cannon, which is the trebuchet that relies on the counterweight to pull the lever and eject......
