"It's been almost three months, why doesn't the lord stay in the room and don't come out? Didn't you lose your mind because of the last defeat? ”

"Changwen, you underestimate the lord too much, although he is only four years old, but his mind is mature, I'm afraid I can't wait! I think he must have something to do when he stays in the house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBut I saw that some craftsmen came in and out of the main house a few days ago, and they were not just doing anything. ”

"Craftsman?"

"Maybe......"

Chen Qun looked at the door and sighed helplessly, and said with a smile to Xun Yu: "If you don't take care of it properly in this March, I'm afraid that this Yuzhou political affairs will also be a mess!" ”

The two are the second and third leaders in Yuzhou, so they naturally pay the most attention to Xun Gang's situation; Although they didn't know what happened to Xun Gang, he ate all the meals delivered to the door every day, and he didn't look like he was depressed at all. What's more, with a full head of white hair, he himself said that he was good-looking, and he couldn't be anxious about it.

This level is three months, what did he do?

"Wen Ruo, too many things have happened in the past three months, I'm just afraid that the lord will come out when the time comes, and he won't report for an hour or two......" Chen Qun flicked his sleeves lightly, as if he was anxious, "Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to plunder the border of Yuzhou, Yuzhou has a shortage of money and food, and the soldiers lack training...... It's enough of a headache to take one of these things out, but I didn't expect it to appear together. ”

Hearing about the soldiers, Xun Yu pondered for a long time and asked, "What happened to General Dian and Feng Xiao?" ”

Dian Wei and Guo Jia have not done anything else in the past three months, concentrating on rectifying the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, and giving orders and reaffirming them repeatedly, so as not to defect again on the Xingyang battlefield. In terms of governing the army, Guo Jia is still a little good, and Dian Wei can only help with chores on the side.

"The soldiers of Yuzhou have been extremely slack since Huang Wan left, and there was no training at all during the Kong Ling period; Now after three months of training, it is gradually becoming a bit of an army, but it can only deal with some thieves, and I am afraid that it is only a little short of ...... to deal with the regular army" Speaking of this, Chen Qun suddenly looked around mysteriously, and after seeing that there was no one, he whispered in Xun Yu's ear: "And Wen Ruo, our army has no horses, and eighty percent of the ordnance has also entered the water and rusted, and it has long been useless!" ”

Xun Yu was shocked when he heard this, no wonder he always felt that Chen Qun looked weird recently, it turned out to be because of such an important matter. On weekdays, they use wooden and bamboo weapons in training, but if they go to the battlefield, will they not be able to let these soldiers go into battle empty-handed? The stakes were high, and he only learned about it today; If the soldiers knew, wouldn't it turn the sky upside down?

After Chen Qun said that, Xun Yu also became serious, hiding his hands in his sleeves and moving wildly; Yuzhou has no money and no food now, even if there are people in the mine, who will make weapons for you? Thinking of this, Xun Yu suddenly thought of a way, and said to Chen Qun: "Changwen, if you mobilize the power of the Yuzhou Shi clan, if you can raise a huge amount of money, then everything will be solved!" ”

"I was about to talk to you about this...... Chen Qun sighed, obviously very annoyed, "For some reason in the past few months, many scholars have come to the door to see the lord, but I have been scolded back; I don't know what they're here for, but in the past few months, they don't seem to be so enthusiastic about their lordship......

Suddenly, a deep voice behind the two of them said: "The lord has not made wine for four months, those scholars are extremely greedy, and Chen Zhizhong thanked the guests, and those people's feelings for the lord have naturally faded......"

The two turned their heads, saw that it was Dian Wei, and asked, "General Dian, have the affairs of the army been arranged?" ”

Dian Wei bowed and saluted, and said, "For the time being, I will leave it to the military advisor to take care of it, and I came here to see the situation of the lord." What are you discussing? ”

"State and county trivialities, General Dian doesn't have to care about it......" Chen Qun hurriedly said perfunctorily, after all, if Dian Wei knew about this, he was afraid that it would cause unnecessary trouble at that time.

"Tell me about trivial matters."

While the three of them were talking, they suddenly saw the door of Xun Gang's room open, and a small figure suddenly appeared at the door, it was Xun Gang. But I saw that Xun Gang was in good spirits, smiling, and even though he was full of gray hair, he gave people an extraordinary heroic spirit. If you hadn't seen his figure, I'm afraid you would have thought that this was a heroic figure.

"Lord!"

Chen Qun Xun Yu hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw Xun Gang, he suddenly felt cordial, since Xun Gang was so energetic, there was no need to worry about them.

"The lord's body is fine, and I don't have to worry about it!" Xun Yu said, but the words changed suddenly, and he asked, "I don't know what the lord has been busy with for three months?" ”

Xun Gang laughed and said, "Come on, come on, I'll let the three of you see my new invention!" ”

New invention? When Dian Wei heard these three words, he instantly came to his senses; He has also seen Xun Gang's invention, that is, the machine that makes wine. It can almost be said that with this machine alone, Xun Gang can feed a lot of people; He hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to see what new things Xun Gang had invented.

"Ouch! General Dian, don't worry! ”

"You're so big, don't squeeze us!"

Xun Gang saw that the three of them were in a hot mood, and his mood instantly relaxed, he had worked overtime in the past three months, very tired, and pulled out three pieces of equipment from future history, although it was not as good as any laser gun and battleship, but it was also at the forefront of the Eastern Han Dynasty weapons.

"Stop arguing, let's see what I've invented."

After that, Xun Gang clapped his hands gently, and saw the three little guys each walking out with one thing; Xun Gang motioned for the three of them to spread out a bit, leaving some space to display the items, but the three of them still unconsciously surrounded one of the items.

It was a crossbow, which was obvious, because there didn't seem to be anything special about it; If it's something special, it might be that the big hoop in front of the crossbow machine is a bit unusual.

The crossbow part seems to be locust wood, and the branches of the locust tree are soft and elastic, which seems to be perfect as a bow; The crossbow is darker in color, made of pine, with a hard texture, and with a bowstring woven of hemp rope, it looks like an ordinary crossbow. It's just that this crossbow looks lighter than the usual crossbow, as if it is not lethal.

"Lord, this crossbow is just an ordinary thing, how can it be considered an invention?" Xun Yu wondered.

Xun Gang smiled mysteriously and motioned for Xun Yu to use the crossbow; Xun Yu picked up the crossbow without any doubts, and wanted to pull the bowstring to the crossbow machine, but he suddenly found that no matter how hard his hands worked, the bowstring could only bend a little!

"This ......"

Xun Gang saw that Xun Yu couldn't pull at all, and said with a smile: "Dian Wei, you come and try." ”

This crossbow was just a piece of cake for Dian Wei, who only used a little force to pull the bowstring to the fuselage; But even so, Dian Wei still said with a serious face: "Lord, this crossbow is too powerful, how can ordinary soldiers use it?" It can't be two people sharing a crossbow......"

Xun Gang smiled, motioned to Dian Wei to restore the crossbow, handed it to Xun Yu again, and said: "Wen Ruo, look at the structure of this crossbow body, if this crossbow can only be used by one person, then how to wind it?" ”

Xun Yu then remembered that there was a ring in front of the crossbow, put the crossbow on the ground and support it with his feet, and exert force with both hands, although it took a little physical strength, but it was enough for one person to use it. Xun Yu was taken aback, the power of this crossbow is so great, I don't know how far it can shoot, and it doesn't seem to be an uncommon thing to look at the material, if it can popularize the whole army, it will definitely make the army's combat power soar!

"Lord, this crossbow is so powerful, it should be much more powerful than the rhubarb crossbow, but what is the name?" Chen Qun asked busily on the side.

"This crossbow is called the 'Divine Arm Crossbow'...... Dian Wei, you can bring this crossbow to the school yard later, and try the maximum range and effective range. ”

"Yes!"

Divine arm crossbow, as the name suggests, Xun Gang's crossbow refers to the Song Dynasty divine arm bow; However, the craftsmanship of the Han Dynasty was backward, and this was at most a "pseudo-god arm bow". According to rumors, the maximum range of the Divine Arm Bow is 400 steps, but I am afraid that the effective range is also 250 steps! This is an extremely terrifying number, and with the great kinetic energy, it is not a problem to penetrate the armor of the heavy cavalry in two hundred steps.

Historical records record that the Shenjian crossbow is made of mulberry wood and sandalwood, but Yuzhou does not produce these, especially sandalwood, which is only available in the south; In desperation, Xun Gang could only use the highly flexible locust tree as a substitute for the bow, the pine tree as the crossbow body, and the copper crossbow machine. I don't know how far the imitation god arm bow that these substitutes can come out of, and how far the maximum range is; As long as it can be about fifty steps longer than the Han Dynasty rhubarb crossbow, it is also a great advantage.

Everyone's eyes focused on the second weapon, which seemed to be a crossbow as well, but this crossbow was more than twice as large as the previous "Divine Arm Crossbow", and a soldier obviously couldn't use it; There is also a very large box on the body of the crossbow, which seems to be used to hold crossbow arrows. This crossbow also does not have a crossbow machine, but has a larger mechanism for loading and firing bolts.

"Lord, isn't this a crossbow that can be fired in bursts?"

Xun Gang looked at Xun Yu and was surprised that he actually knew about the crossbow, so he nodded silently and said: "This crossbow is called 'Yuan Rong', and a box can hold ten crossbow arrows, but this range is not as far as the divine arm, but the fire suppression as a melee is also extremely considerable......

The Qifa crossbow was actually invented by the ancestors earlier, and Zhuge Liang's crossbow was greatly improved on the basis of the Qifa crossbow and became the current repeating crossbow; Xun Gang put Yuan Rong out, obviously not wanting to leave Zhuge Liang alive......

Everyone was amazed, but they didn't expect Xun Gang to spend a lot of effort on the crossbow of two sides in just three months; The divine arm is used for long-range strikes, and Yuan Rong is used for melee suppression, if both are put into the battlefield, the Yuzhou soldiers will definitely be famous in the United States!

"Lord, this third ......"

But when someone asked on the side, Xun Gang led everyone away again; This third weapon is not a crossbow, it looks a bit like a three-pointed two-edged knife, but both sides are flat, but it has the feel of a sword; However, if it is used as a sword, the hilt of the sword will inevitably seem a little too long.

To describe it, two-thirds of this weapon is a handle, and one-third is a blade; The sides are relatively flat, similar to the sword of chopping horses, but they are much wider than the sword of chopping horses, which looks a little weird.

However, it is obvious that this is a weapon specially made for infantry, and with that kind of handle, one hand feels difficult to wield, and it is very bulky, which affects the mobility of cavalry...... Perhaps, this is the sword for the infantry.

"Lord ......"

Xun Gang didn't wait for them to finish asking, and said directly: "This thing is called 'Mo Knife', which looks like a sword and a gun, but it is actually similar to a horse sword, but it is much more powerful than a horse sword...... It would be better if the blade was replaced with steel. ”

The Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty did not leave a physical object for future generations, and Xun Gang could only guess the approximate appearance of the Mo knife by virtue of a half-star record; Although it is not necessarily like a gourd to draw a scoop, the prototype is still there after all. As I said before, the craftsmanship of the Han Dynasty was very backward, and the Mo knife made was still a "pseudo Mo knife".

Xun Gang handed over all three weapons to Dian Wei, and asked him to take them to the school to show the public and show his power; If the materials support it, Xun Gang intends to expand the use of these three weapons to the whole army.

Most of these three weapons are designed to deal with cavalry, but they are also good for infantry; Obviously, in the last battle of Xingyang, Xun Gang was frightened by Dong Zhuo's cavalry, and specially made these three weapons with great power against the cavalry.

Looking at Dian Wei's back as he gradually moved away, Xun Gang turned around and asked, "So...... What are the state and county trivia? ”
