Chapter 31: The Ordnance Division and the Flying Cloud Ladder

Before Xu Shu finished speaking, he heard a crisp voice from under the city: "Duke Xu, Brother Shiyuan, I haven't seen you for many days, how are the two of you?" Xiangyang late born Huang Shuo to meet. ”

Xu Shu looked strange and shouted in a deep voice: "You are so bold in your life, you dare to come here." Watch me go back and accuse your father of your case and break your legs. ”

Xu Shu then ignored Huang Shuo and said to Liu Qi: "General, the young general below is the son of the old man, and he will not be bullied, and the last general dares to guarantee that Huo Jun's capture of Huang Zhong must be the truth, and please open the city gate and let them in." ”

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Even if Mr. doesn't say it, this general will open the city gate, this general has already heard the name of Zhijiang Huo Zhong, and knows that he is indeed my Jingzhou general, and he will definitely not cheat, but who is this Huang Shuoguo?" Ben Jiang saw that he must also be a wise man, and he was the son of a friend of Mr., why Ben Jiang had never heard of his name? ”

But he saw Xu Shu say with a strange face: "This son is stubborn by nature, and he has always lived in seclusion in the countryside, the general has not heard of it, and it is normal, but the last general is curious, how did the general know the name of that Huo Jun?" ”

How could Liu Qi tell the truth about this? He used himself to learn from his father that Yunyun prevaricated in the past, but he was even more curious about that Huang Shuo in his heart, this Huang Shuo has this wisdom, he must not be a general person, he has crossed over from the next life, how can he not have heard of his name? There can only be one reason for this, and that is that it is not his real name, or that he has another name.

But Liu Qi didn't want to ask anymore, so he had to pay attention secretly, hoping that one day he would be able to reveal the true identity of this Huang Shuo.

Liu Qi immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and personally went out of the city to greet Huo Jun.

It wasn't until he walked in that Liu Qi saw Huo Jun's appearance clearly, this Huo Jun looked very heroic, with a purple face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a seven-foot figure, and a tiger's back and a bear's waist.

And Huang Shuo, who was beside Huo Jun, had millet hair and a slightly dark face, but he could not hide his handsome face and big smart eyes.

"Hehe, General Huo, Mr. Huang, this time it's thanks to you, otherwise there would be no way to capture Huang Zhong and protect his archers." Liu Qi hurriedly saluted the two of them and said gratefully.

The two hurriedly humbled a few words.

After that, Liu Qi saw Huang Shuo's mouth move, but closed it again, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Huang has something to say?" ”

But he saw Huang Shuo clenching his fists and said: "Don't dare, I only listened to the meaning of what the eldest prince said below, does it already have a strategy to break the enemy?" Thinking about it in the next place, I really don't know what Childe's plan is, so I want to dare to ask Childe for advice. ”

Liu Qi naturally knew that Huang Shuo's words were clearly testing himself, so he smiled and said: "This is not the place to talk, two, please let the soldiers enter the camp to rest first, and the two of you invite General Huang and Huang Junhou to enter the mansion to discuss in detail." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Qi ordered Pang Tong to arrange for these thousands of people to enter the city, and then took Huo Jun's hand into the city.

In fact, Liu Qi was also about to hold Huang Shuo's hand, but Huang Shuo quickly dodged him.

Liu Qi didn't know why, and thought that Huang Shuo was a little dissatisfied with himself, but he saw that this person was the son of Xu Shu's old man, and he felt that this person was a talent, so he didn't care much.

At this time, Liu Qi turned his head to look at Huang Zhong who was tied up, and saw that Huang Zhong had a white beard, was in good spirits, and his eyes were bright, as if he sensed that he was looking at him, so he suddenly raised his head and glared at himself.

Liu Qi smiled, ignored it anymore, and said secretly in his heart: "This Huang Zhong is really like the legend, he is old and strong, but he is loyal, but I will soon make you obediently surrender." ”

The group came to the mansion and sat down, and Liu Qi first said to Huo Jun and Huang Yueying: "I don't know what position the two of you live in now?" The two of them have made a lot of meritorious contributions this time, and they will be rewarded heavily. ”

But when he heard Huo Jun suddenly bow down, he bowed his head and said: "The general's intention to reward the general is the end of the general's heart, but he doesn't dare to accept it." It is not a secret, the last general was named a military marquis by General Zhang of Jiangling before, originally came to see the prince on the order of General Zhang, called aid, it was really a plot and seized the power of the general, fortunately he met Mr. Huang there, Mr. Huang timely said the general in Jingxiang Wenhui and the conquest of Cao Cao and other things, and after the last general arrived in Jingnan, I learned that the general was highly respected, Lixian corporal, and the soldier used his life, which is really the blessing of my Jingzhou, the last general did not notice for a while, almost was misunderstood, and he felt guilty in his heart, how dare he receive the general's reward? ”

Liu Qi hurriedly stepped forward, helped Huo Jun up, and said: "The general is like this, which shows his sincerity, why should the general ruin his good talent because of other people's conspiracy?" Huo Jun listened to the order, and he would have appointed you as the lieutenant of the middle base, and he would be in charge of the four gates. ”

When Huo Jun heard this, he was immediately shocked, because in the Han Dynasty, he had the position of lieutenant of the middle base, with a rank ratio of 2,000 stones, and he was in charge of the northern army base, and he was in charge of the four cities outside, and he had great power. hurriedly bowed down and said respectfully: "Jun will be broken for the general to repay the great favor." ”

Liu Qi helped Huo Jun up, and said to Huang Shuo: "Mr. Fang Cai asked Ben General what strategy he had to break the enemy, and now Ben General might as well talk about it." In fact, the fact that the general was damaged a few days ago was just to deceive General Huang, except for the real loss on the first day, the soldiers I was shot down by them later were all straw men, but they wore soldiers' clothes and armor and covered with pigskin. In order to accumulate strength, we launched a surprise attack on General Huang. ”

Liu Qi glanced at Huang Zhong deliberately, and slowly explained: "In the past few days, when General Huang Lao led the crowd to attack the city, we have quietly dug the tunnel leading to the outside of the city, and are ready to take advantage of General Huang Lao's attack on the city, leading the elite in the city, and the tunnel will come to the outside of the city unconsciously, and launch a surprise attack on General Huang's archers, and then we will send troops in the city, and we will be able to break General Huang Lao before, and even capture it is not impossible, but it is not easy to train the archers under General Huang Lao. I've been thinking of a foolproof way to win, but unfortunately, I didn't expect that Mr. and Zhong Yi arrived in time and used a trick to capture General Huang and solve a big problem for me, so I will be rewarded heavily this time. Huang Shuo listened to the order, and he would have appointed you as the subordinate of Changsha County to discuss Cao Shi, and participated in the military together with Pei Qian, the division of the left army, and Xu Shu, the division of the right army. ”

Unexpectedly, Huang Shuo shook his head and said: "I don't want to do anything to discuss Cao, my favorite thing is to study the Mojia Technique, you might as well give me an official position to study equipment." ”

Liu Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in his heart that I just have many advanced equipment in the future generations that need to be studied, and God sent him here, which is really good.

However, Liu Qi thought about it, and said with a wry smile: "I originally liked that you have this specialty, and there are also some imaginary instruments that need your help to study, but I don't have such an official position in my hands, because such positions belong to the Shaofu in the imperial court, so I don't think it's better to be like this, you first take the official position of this Yicao, and then I will pick out some craftsmen and set up an ordnance department for you, which is in your sole control, how about it?" ”

Huang Shuo was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately accepted the position, but she didn't seem to want to let go of herself, and asked with big eyes: "You just said that there are some imaginary instruments that I need to study, I don't know what they are?" I'll hear it. ”

Liu Qi smiled and drew a picture for Huang Shuo to see.

Unexpectedly, Huang Shuo smiled and said, "It's just a cloud ladder, what's so strange?" ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "You are right, it is the ladder, but I have observed that although the current ladder is equipped with wheels at the bottom, the main ladder still needs to be carried by manpower and placed under the city wall. ”

But he saw Huang Shuo glaring and said, "The cloud ladder is like this, do you have any good way?" ”

Liu Qi smiled, seeing that all the generals looked at him with a strange face, even Huang Zhong's eyes widened in surprise, and he said with a smile: "We can install a few more wheels at the bottom, and then add a giant wooden iron sheet, which is equivalent to a moving car at the bottom of the ladder, and as for the ladder, we don't have to stand completely upright, we can make the ladder body tilt and fix it on the chassis. When you climb the city, you can slide up and down along the wall of the city, which is called the flying ladder, so as to reduce the danger and difficulty of setting up the ladder in front of the enemy, and at the same time ensure that the ladder is not close to the edge of the city before ascending the city, so as to avoid being destroyed by the defenders. Here's how the schema works. ”

Liu Qi then painted the image of the Tang Dynasty cloud ladder in his mind on a piece of cloth, and now he is very glad that he retains the memory of the original Liu Qi in his mind, because after all, that Liu Qi has received a lot of elite education, and he can barely pass the test in calligraphy and painting.

Then Liu Qi saw the shock and surprise on Huang Shuo's face, hugged Liu Qi and said, "You are really a genius in Mozi's machine technique, and I am right with you." By the way, you will immediately select skilled craftsmen for me, and I will immediately set up an ordnance department and devote myself to the research of this flying cloud ladder. ”

After that, he saw Huang Shuo's face turn red, and he quickly let go of himself.

Liu Qi immediately agreed with a smile, and wrote a letter to Pang Tong, asking him to be responsible for selecting craftsmen for Huang Shuo, and allocating five hundred people from his own personal army to protect Huang Shuo's safety.

But seeing Huang Shuo snatching the letter, he rushed to find Pang Tong.

Seeing that Huang Shuo was so impatient, Liu Qi couldn't help but smile and shook his head, then turned around and said to Huang Zhong: "General Huang, I don't know what you plan to do in the future?" ”
