In He Jin's eyes, Liu Xin was also an accomplice of Zhang Rang's gang, but the first emperor was quite serious about him, and when he heard that Cao Ying had a plan to easily get rid of Liu Xin, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Meng De, hurry up." ”

Cao Ying stroked the long beard under his chin, paused and said: "The first emperor has an edict and ordered Liu Xin to assist the emperor, so that he can be dismissed as the pastor of Jingzhou, transferred him to Beijing, and appointed him to the post of Jiuqing. ”

Speaking of which, Cao Ying had already imagined that Liu Xin was escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market to be publicly beheaded, and he led his troops to take over his family, and took all his beautiful wives and concubines into his pocket, and an ambiguous smile suddenly appeared on his face,

Yuan Shao saw the strange expression on Cao Ying's face, and couldn't help but suspect that Cao Ying had something to do with Liu Xin, and hurriedly said: "What kind of strategy is Meng De, I almost missed the general, if Liu Xin enters Beijing, wouldn't it be for the eunuchs to add wings, and wait for the eunuchs to be punished, and then get rid of Liu Xin, it will not be captured." ”

He Jin was really furious: "Is Meng De secretly selfish?" ”

Cao Ying had no choice but to retreat in a huff, looking up to the sky and sighing: "Those who mess with the world will not enter." ”

In the past few days when Zhao Yun led the troops away, Liu Xin was also restless, calculating the words, Luoyang should be in chaos these days, why hasn't King Qin's text been sent to him, Liu Xin has ordered Xu Huang's subordinates to prepare secretly, as long as he receives the text sent by He Jin, Liu Xin will go to Nanyang to meet Xu Huang, he wants to control Luoyang before Dong Zhuo, and Zhao Yun will also wave his army north after capturing Jiangzhou, as his backup,

Liu Xin hopes to be able to use his little understanding of history to nip the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms in the bud when the princes are not completely centrifuged, and the prosperous Luoyang City can also avoid being destroyed in the war.

As a result, Liu Xin waited left and right, but he didn't see the text from the capital, and the battle report from Bajun was not delivered, and the anxious Liu Xin didn't have the mind to be warm with his wife and concubine these days, lying on the bed tossing and turning, Liu Xin just couldn't sleep, and the surname Suo put on clothes and came to the back garden to hang out.

The night sky at the beginning of the month is full of stars, the evening breeze of summer is blowing on the body, revealing the slightest coolness, and the sound of insects accompanied by the fragrance of flowers has a unique artistic conception, in such an environment, Liu Xin's nervous mood can't help but relax, suddenly, there was a burst of sobbing from the flowers in front of him, and Liu Xin was terrified.

Liu Xin strengthened his courage and tiptoed over, only to see a woman kneeling on the ground, with an incense case in front of her, and she was sighing there, and she didn't know what to say, looking at the back image was Qiao'er, Liu Xin quietly stopped, Qiao'er is also his woman, but he usually pays little attention to her, Liu Xin understands that he now has many women, and no matter how powerful he is alone, time is limited after all, it is difficult to take care of all women, there will always be people who are left out, it seems that it is a trouble to have more women, These women are very young, if in his original era, most of them have not yet reached the age of talking about marriage, at most they are in love, and it is understandable that they are lonely.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin couldn't help but call: "Qiao'er, do you have any personal feelings?" ”

Qiao'er suddenly heard someone talking behind her, she was startled, turned around, and saw that it was Liu Xin, so she hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly: "The slave is loyal to the master, and she never dares to be selfish, so she asks the master to be clear." ”

Liu Xin knows that for the female surname at this time, if anyone is found out of the wall, the end will be very tragic, of course Liu Xin is reluctant to let his woman steal a man behind his back, but he is from the afterlife after all, his mind should be much more open-minded, and the truth of gathering and dispersing is still understood, Liu Xin took a step forward, helped Qiao'er up, and said: "You don't have to be afraid, just say what you think, I will be the master for you." ”

Qiao'er trembled, choked up and said, "Master, the slave really doesn't have any personal feelings. ”

Liu Xin knew that she was afraid, and said as pleasantly as possible: "Say what you have, I won't blame you, if you don't have a personal relationship, you don't go to sleep in the middle of the night, burn incense and pray in this garden, cry and cry, but why." ”

Qiao'er suddenly cried loudly: "Master, I'm sorry for you. ”

Although Liu Xin was generous, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when he heard this, and sure enough, he guessed correctly, he had the heart to let Qiao'er leave, in this case, it was inconvenient to make any intimate moves with her, so he had to lower his voice and comfort: "It's okay, I don't mind, you can say it." ”

Qiao'er was already in tears, biting her lip tightly, and after a long time, she mustered up her courage and said: "Master, I asked Mr. Zhang to see it today, he said that I had a cold when I was a child, and I had the disease of uterine cold, and I am afraid it will be difficult to conceive a child in this life, woo... Woo..."

It turned out that Qiao'er was also a little disappointed when she saw the ladies' stomachs moving one after another, but she always thought that Liu Xin had used more effort on the ladies, but in the past few days, the Ling'er sisters' bodies have obviously begun to get blessed, often retching, and don't like greasy, after Zhang Ji helped them take the pulse, she said hello again and again, Qiao'er couldn't help but feel pantothenic acid in her heart, and asked Zhang Ji to help her take a look, but Zhang Ji's brows wrinkled, Liu Xin was surprised, it turned out that she had misunderstood her, and she didn't feel a little guilty, so she took her in her arms. comforted: "Don't cry, it's hard to get pregnant doesn't mean that you can't get pregnant, let's work hard a few more times in the future, besides, Yu'er and Fan'er are all brought up by you, isn't that equivalent to your child." ”

Qiao'er said with a surprised face: "That, those are all Madame's children, I, how dare I ......"

Liu Xin didn't wait for her to finish, hugged her tightly, and said, "Don't worry, I'll let Zhang Ji think of a way tomorrow, there will always be a day when he will be cured." ”

After more than half a day, Liu Xin finally received the battle report from Ba County,

In the early morning of the second day when Zhao Yun arrived at Jiangzhou City, the soldiers of the Jingzhou army suddenly shot a large number of arrows into the city, these arrows did not have arrow clusters on them, but tied with a sealed book, Zhao Yun brought a large number of compound bows newly produced by the research institute, this compound bow is also different from the bows and arrows used by the Manchus in later generations, but in the range compared to the original bows and arrows, it has been much farther, and the physical strength that the shooters need to pay is more economical, these bows and arrows have been developed for a while, but like stirrups and trebuchets, They were all hidden by Liu Xinxue, and they have not been distributed to various legions, this time, Liu Xin has completely figured it out, nothing is more important than human life, he has revealed all his family background, and he also believes that as long as it is strictly confidential, others will not be able to learn these complex things for a while.

The defenders of the city watched the shooters of the Jingzhou army, outside their range, shoot arrows tied with letters into the city, but there was no way, the soldiers and people at the head of the city soon found out, there were no arrows on these arrows, there were good things to untie the book, hurriedly looked at it as if to get the treasure, hidden, it turned out, these books are written with Xiang paper, a large piece of Xiang paper is only used less than half, there are large blank spaces, in Luoyang, Xiang paper is still as expensive as gold, in Yizhou is even more difficult to find, Because Liu Yan implemented a policy of retreat in Yizhou, and almost cut off contact with the outside world, some of the rich people used the paper from the six counties in central and southern China inhabited by barbarians, obtained through smuggling, one to ten, ten to hundred, the defenders of the city head, the people began to scramble for these arrows, and some people even drew their swords in order to snatch an arrow shot by the Jingzhou army.

There are also some literate people who began to hide to the side and read the content written on the book, it turned out that the various policies implemented in Jingzhou were recorded, although Ba County was close to Jingzhou, but because of Liu Yan's strict retreat policy, the people of Ba County did not know the development of Jingzhou, although Liu Xin implemented these new policies, and also tried to consider the interests of all aspects, but really felt that life is getting better day by day, are those who live at the bottom of the society, they can not only be fed and clothed now, And you can have a certain amount of savings to support your family, and even eat meat a few times a month, which was unthinkable in the past, these people have also become the most staunch supporters of Liu Xin's policy, those literate people in the city have read books, have certain thoughts, and quickly figured out the joints in this, and most of these people originally lived at the bottom of society,

When Zhang Ren found out about the scratching on the head of the city and rushed over to suppress it, many people had already hidden the books they had picked up, and the contents of the books were also passed on by word of mouth.

The Jingzhou army still did not attack, but with Gan Ning setting up camp in the rear of Jiangzhou, the retreat between Jiangzhou City and the outside world has been completely cut off, and the confidence of the soldiers defending the city has begun to waver, Zhang Ren's spirit is highly nervous, and he has spent another sleepless night.

Another day passed, at noon, the soldiers and people who defended the city were a little drowsy, the Jingzhou military camp outside the city suddenly sounded in unison, the gate opened, a group of soldiers rushed to the city of Jiangzhou like a tide, the team immediately dispersed, and then pushed out a few cars from behind, neither rushing cars, nor arrow towers, but a kind of strange cars that the defenders had never seen and had never heard of, and these cars were erected with a long thing like a big spoon, many soldiers, Minzhuang are lying on the battlements staring at these strange big guys like looking at the scenery, and there are boring people who count them, a total of ten, and I don't know what the use is, Zhang Ren raised a spear, and drank back and forth on the city wall to order the soldiers and Minzhuang to defend the city with peace of mind, but they always couldn't hold back the curiosity of those people,

These things developed by the research institute are not mass-produced, because Liu Xin always feels that they are not needed for the time being, and there is the possibility of further improvement in the future, so the trebuchet has only been built ten, Liu Xin took out the trebuchet this time, there is another important reason, he knows that in the near future, Cao Ying will also develop this weapon, however, Liu Xin's trebuchet draws on the knowledge of later generations, a bit similar to the counterweight trebuchet used by the Mongolian army, and the components are specially designed to be disassembled and assembled, and the range is longer, More powerful, easier to make, more accurate to throw, more convenient to transport and maintain,

Just when the city was chattering and talking, the Jingzhou army under the city began to act, and the big spoons on those strange machines slowly bent down, and then quickly bounced, and with a "boom" sound, ten boulders roared and flew towards the city tower,
