Luan Tao's death hit Luan Yi very hard, and once made him sink into grief. Shut yourself in your house for days and don't go out.

Just as he was feeling sorry for himself, news came from the black back - Gongsun Zan of Youzhou was defeated and killed by Ji Ling, the general under Yuan Shao, and the entire territory of Youzhou fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, and began to fight and merge with the state.

The sudden bad news woke Luan Yi from his painful memory. For many years, he openly and secretly contributed money and grain to support Gongsun Zhan, in order to let Gongsun Zhan be able to contain Yuan Shao for a few more years, but he never thought that in less than two years, Gongsun Zhan would be beaten by Yuan Shao and have no place to die.

Luan Yi knew that Gongsun Zhan's defeat must be related to his self-righteous character. In this regard, he was furious and smashed the things in the study, "I hate Gongsun Chan to live up to my expectations!" ”

Gongsun Chan was defeated, and the three states of Hebei would sooner or later become Yuan Shao's bag. Once he stabilizes the political affairs of the three states, it goes without saying that the next target will definitely be Qingzhou and Yanzhou, which are located in Henan. At that time, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will attack from both sides, and the territory that Luan Yi has single-handedly laid down will be dangerous.

Luan Yi felt that the situation was serious, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he needed to solve Cao Cao in the shortest possible time.

So, he put on his armor early the next morning, and after kowtowing heavily in front of the tomb of his grandfather Luan Tao, he left Jinan and returned to the front line in Yanzhou.

Thankfully, Luan Yi also got a piece of good news when he arrived at the Yanzhou front. Liu Ye, the general assistant craftsman of the Yanzhou Ordnance Manufacturing Institute, came to report that the new trebuchet that he had led and developed for more than two years had finally taken shape. The new trebuchet, on the basis of the original high-pitch trebuchet technology, uses more gears and lever principles to eject important links, and replaces the old-style animal tendons and rubber bands with the 100-steel springs proposed by Luan Yi.

This improvement not only made the new trebuchet more durable, but also increased the range from 70 to 120 at once. At the same time, the weight of the boulder is shared by pulleys, and the trebuchet can carry more weight than before. The weight of the stone has increased, the firing range has increased, and the power has been greatly enhanced, Luan Yi has reason to believe that the trebuchet that Liu Ye has just made not only surpasses the high turret trebuchet, but is even much stronger than the thunderbolt in history, it is simply an artifact of the siege of the city in the era of cold weapons.

Now that the core of the trebuchet is not in mass production, the first core components will be shipped to the Yanzhou front in the near future. Then select wood on the spot, enough to assemble more than 50 such sharp weapons, how can Luan Yi not like it, in order to continue the glory of this catapult equipment in history, he still named this thing Thunderbolt.

After arriving in Yanzhou, he summoned the generals Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun to discuss the impact of the defeat of Gongsun Zan in Youzhou on the church, and suggested that Cao Jun should use thunderous means to fight Cao Cao while the thunderbolt car was unaware of the advent of the thunderbolt.

As soon as the suggestion came out, Zhang Fei shouted excitedly, "What the fourth brother said is very much in line with my opinion. Obviously he led the troops to the battle, but there was no battle, and my old Zhang was about to be idle. ”

"A certain reconsideration!" Even Guan Gong said that he asked for battle, which shows the strength of the generals' thirst for battle.

"Sect Master, I'll go and gather all the people." It was another warmonger who responded to the peace, Xu Chu.

"Zhongkang, don't be busy!" Luan Yi hurriedly left the quick-tempered Xu Chu behind, "The decisive battle is just a suggestion. I would also like to hear the opinions of my brothers. Brother Fu, what do you think! ”

Xu Shu responded: "Our army is strong, and now Lu Zigan has led the Xuzhou soldiers to repel Sun Ce, and waved his army to southern Henan (southern Yuzhou) to harass Cao Cao's rear, so that Cao Cao has no troops to garrison, and the soldiers and horses on the east road Yanzhou and Xuchang are far less than our army, and they only rely on the city high and deep to defend so as not to be defeated." Now, our army has more thunderbolt weapons, which are enough to break through its passes and moats, and it should be sent to fight to the death! ”

Luan Yi nodded again and again, Xu Shu thought the same as him. "What do you think?"

Guo Jia shook the folding fan and said, "I don't think I can go to war for the time being!" ”

As soon as he heard that the battle in his hand was going to be in vain, Zhang Fei was anxious, "Why don't you fight, the military is afraid of Cao Cao?" ”

Luan Yi spoke out to stop, "Third brother must not be reckless, and listen to Brother Jia tell me the reason!" ”

"Master!" Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said: "Cao Mengde has been operating in Xuchang and Chenliu for many years, and he is particularly wary of the direction of Yanzhou. To this end, he set up a lot of military villages in various dangerous places in the territory of Chenliu, and also dug a large number of caves in the deep mountains to hide soldiers. Our army has only discovered some of these strongholds, and there are still a large number of hidden strongholds that have not been discovered. It is true that there are not many soldiers and horses placed in these strongholds, with more than 200 men and less than 100 men. But just imagine, if our army has won successive battles and penetrated deep into the interior of Chenliu, the main force of Cao's army has fortified the wall and cleared the wilderness, and defended the city, and then transferred the Tibetan troops out to harass the rear of our army and cut off the supply of grain and grass, our army will be in chaos without a fight, and there will be only one ending. ”

"Is that so?"

Guo Jia nodded yes, "Later, I will bring the distribution map of Cao's Tibetan troops that our army has discovered." ”

"In this way, wouldn't Cao Cao become a hedgehog who has no way to speak? Could it be that he could only wait for Yuan Shao to end the war in the north and come to fight with Cao Cao? Luan Yi asked.

"Of course not." Guo Jia looked unfathomable, and seeing that Luan Yi couldn't wait to know the answer, he dispelled the idea of selling Guanzi. "The battle with Cao Cao still has to be fought, but we have to change the way we fight."

"Oh? Does Jia Di have a clever plan? Let's hear it. ”

"I have some ideas!" Guo Jia raised the corners of his mouth and said, "As I said, it is never advisable to fight Cao Cao and go deep into the interior of Chenliu. At least not for now. Before we can do that, we have to do one thing. ”

"What?"

Guo Jia replied to the question and said: "If the current Chen Liu is compared to an iron-making furnace, then the hidden soldier cave hidden in the deep mountains and old forests is the furnace wall, and the main force of Cao Jun represents the bottom of the furnace. Once our army invades Chenliu, it will be equivalent to being trapped in the hearth, and Cao Cao will fan the flames and refine us into molten iron sooner or later. This trick must be from Xun Wenruo's handwriting, we must not fall for the trick and throw it into the hearth to kill ourselves. But as far as the current situation is concerned, we can't help but go to war with him, so how can we do it? ”

Xu Chu was so anxious that he scratched his head, "Oh, military advisor." Don't whet our appetites, just say it! What to do! ”

Guo Jia said: "It's very simple, first chisel the bottom of the furnace for him!" Without the bottom of the furnace, no matter how dense the furnace wall is, it is also a decoration! ”

"The bottom of the furnace?" Luan Yi quickly understood Guo Jia's intentions, "Chiseling through the bottom of the furnace means that the main force of the Cao army will be severely damaged with lightning speed. However, there are many towns in Chenliu and Xuchang, and even if I have a thunderbolt car, it is not something that can be frozen and disintegrated in a short period of time. The bottom of this furnace is not so easy to penetrate. If you are not careful, you will be outflanked by Cao Cao. Too risky! ”

"Of course, it's very risky. So we can't do that, but print out Cao Cao's main force and lead it to the ground of our Yanzhou to disappear! Guo Jia's five fingers stretched out, and suddenly tightened.

"Draw it out? Cao Cao is cautious and cautious, and Xun Wenruo's uncle and nephew are Zuozuo, how can he be so easy to seduc? Xu Shu questioned.

Guo Jia said: "As the saying goes, no one is perfect. No matter how cautious Cao Cao is, there are times when he makes mistakes, as long as we plan carefully, he will definitely be fooled! ”

"How?" Luan Yi asked.

"Jia thinks that Dong Cheng and Zhang Xiu are two important chess pieces."

……

It is said that the Dong Cheng Inquisition has been closed for 16 days. During these sixteen days, he was tormented. Tiger stool, chili water, finger clipping, wet paper paste, glue sprinkled on the crotch...... I don't have any heavy ones, and even peeing is bloodshot now...... He died and lived to torture, but he did not kill him.

He lived in fear all day long.

As soon as he was old and his daughter was gone, he was no longer afraid of death, but he was afraid of living and suffering. He longed to die, but his hands and feet were tied, and in order to prevent him from biting his tongue, his mouth was blocked, and every hour of the twelve hours every day, there were big men in turn to take care of him, and he couldn't die if he wanted to.

He began to look forward to staying up one day earlier until the day when Luan Yi killed him. But after asking a kind prison guard, I found out, but I heard the prison guard say, "You! He had to endure enough of the ninety-nine eighty-one days of suffering before he was executed by Ling Chi. ”

Ling Chi ...... That's a thousand cuts. He was terrified, and what terrified him even more was the eighty-one days of torture. "You bastards, kill if you want. Aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven if you torture people like this! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, what a damnation! Sect Master, this is also for your good! "The guards are unwavering.

"I still say it's good for me to torture me like this? Amusing. ”

"How can a heretic like you understand?" The prison guard sneered and explained: "You have sinned a lot in your life, and if you die of sin, Our Lady and her old man will not let you enter the gate of heaven and ascend to heaven, and then you will only go to hell and suffer from fried and cooked forever." The sect leader couldn't bear to let you suffer in hell, so he sent you to the Inquisition, like the demon monkey and pig spirit in the book "Journey to the West" written by the sect master, and you were washed away from the sins of eighty-one days of extreme suffering in the world. In this way, Our Lady will forgive you and allow you to go to heaven. The world knows which is better or worse in heaven or hell, and the sect leader is not for your good! ”

"You...... Such remarks will deceive a three-year-old child, and only a fool will believe it! ”

"You dare to insult the sect master?" As soon as he heard this, the guard turned dark, "I see that your skin is itchy again." Somebody, light all the candles for me. ”

What do you do with candles in broad daylight? Dong Chengzheng was wondering, and the three big men took him out of the cell and tied him to the cross. He took out the lit candle from the table and dripped the melted wax tears on his body one by one.

"Ah......" Stimulated by the scorching pain, Dong Cheng screamed like a pig, and the pain made him convulsed like an electric shock.

After a while, a thick layer of wax clothing condensed and formed on Dong Cheng's shoulder, and the executioner of the court uncovered the wax clothing again.

Just now, under the burning of the hot wax, the skin has been scorched with the wax, and at this time, the wax is torn down together with the skin. Another heart-piercing pain. "Ah......h

Dong Cheng fainted on the spot.
