(83) Liu Ye built a thunderbolt car, and Han gathered people to change the chaos

In the barracks of Lu Bu in the camp of the Duting coalition army, a pair of lovers were snuggling together, the first hero Lu Fengxian was holding his beloved wife tightly and was unwilling to let go, listening to Ruonan's narration, Lu Bu couldn't help but nod and praise: "After Meng Qi is worthy of being General Fubo, the descendants of the Ma family, in just a few years, have changed from a young man with strong blood to a general who is worthy of a great responsibility, but I didn't expect that Yunluo's little girl would become so calm and decisive and strategic. Ha ha! The two of them laughed loudly in the tent, causing the soldiers guarding outside the tent to look sideways. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Lu Bu stroked his beloved wife's hair, and said with a straight face: "Ruonan, we have to go out, otherwise these boys don't know how to pass on me!" Ruonan smiled shyly, nodded slightly, and the two stood up and walked out of the door, at the same time, not far away, in the big tent of the Chinese army in the conference hall, Zhao Yun, Pang De, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals of the state army, as well as Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Yi, Wang Kuang, Yuan Shu, Liu Dai, Ma Chao, Bao Xin, Kong Xian, Sun Jian, Liu Bei and other eighteen princes sat in two columns on the left and right.

"Everyone, as far as I know, in addition to my Wang Yue, Dong Zhuo assigned two other groups of people, before leaving, he tried his best to find out the news of one of the roads, they were ordered to go to Xiliang to oppose Han, and then ordered his commander's subordinates Liang Xing, candidates, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Ruan, Yang Qiu, eight generals, tens of thousands of cavalry to jointly garrison Chang'an, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, the three of them first attacked and eliminated the forces of the Xiliang Ma family, and then led the army to Guguan, taking advantage of the attention of our army to be attracted to the front line of Duting, and took advantage of the weakness to capture Luoyang." As soon as these words came out, Ma Chao, Ma Yunluo and Ma Dai who were present couldn't help but be shocked, and stood up one after another, only to see Ma Chao step forward and hug his fist at Wang Yue and said: "Dare to ask Mr., when are they plotting to make a move, is it too late for me to rush back to Xiliang now?" As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shu, who sat down in Nanyang, stood up and objected: "By all means, at present, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the Beihai Xiang Kong Rong and Chen Liutai Cao Cao have been pinned down in Bohai County and Fuyang against Yuan Shao and the Yellow Turban rebels, if the general then commands the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to Liangzhou, the power of the United Army will be even weaker, you know, in addition to General Pingdong's Bingzhou Army, only your Qianghu Iron Cavalry of the Xiliang Horse Family can make that **** Dong Zhuo fearful." Although Yuan Yuan was arrogant and arrogant, but after all, what he said was reasonable, at the moment Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi and others got up to persuade Ma Chao, Zhao Yun just wanted to get up and say a few words for Ma Chao, and then heard Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling speak: "General Zhao, everyone in the world knows the relationship between you and the Xiliang Ma family, at this time, you are not afraid of telling the truth when you stand up and speak?" The words suddenly choked Zhao Yun speechless, and the generals present in Bingzhou, hearing that Ji Ling dared to speak to his generals like this, immediately became angry, and each of them took the case, and Yuan Shu's subordinates Yu She, Ji Ling, Li Feng, Zhang Xun, Qiao Mao and others were also not to be outdone, and each drew his sword and wanted to come out. Changsha Taishou Sun Jian saw that everyone was murderous and feared that something would happen, so he hurriedly stood up and wanted to comfort a few words, but in the eyes of Wang Kuang and others, Sun Jian was just going to pull the bias, and he also stood up with his subordinates, seeing that everyone in the tent was about to fight, Wang Yue really wanted to pump himself more than a dozen mouths, why was he in such a hurry to say it, at least until Lu Bu was present.

"Stop!" Just when the big battle was about to break out, Lu Bu rushed to the big tent with thirty guards, looking at the desperate posture on both sides, but Lu Bu had no usual serious expression, but laughed loudly: "Today, my Ruonan comes home, even if he wants to be happy for me and wants to dance, he won't hold a guy, don't you think this is a Hongmen banquet?" Should jump like I did!" Saying that, Lu Bu twisted up in front of everyone as if no one was around, and Lu Bu in everyone's impression was galloping on the battlefield and charging into battle. The enemy is fearless in front of him, when has he ever seen Lu Bu in such a state? Suddenly he was amused, leaning back and forth, laughing a mess, and suddenly the rich smell of gunpowder that had just filled the big tent was amused, and while Ruonan hadn't come in yet, Lu Bu would accept it when he saw it, he saw that the atmosphere was almost relaxed, waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and he walked up to the main seat and hugged his fists at everyone and said: "Which one of you will tell me about the situation just now and the reason for it?" I invited him to roast lamb! After everyone laughed for a while, Changsha Taishou Sun Jian came out and told Lu Bu what had just happened. When Lu Bu heard this, he thought carefully for a while, and nodded: "Yes, what Yuan Highway said is right, at this time, Duting is still gathering Dong Zhuo's 80,000 main forces, we can't take it lightly, but General Ma can't help it, I think so, there are 3,000 military horses stationed in Luoyang, they are well-trained and resolute in combat, this general personally leads the team, and then points Ma Mengqi, Ma Yunluo, Ma Bozhan, Zhao Zilong, Liu Xuande, Guan Yunchang, Zhang Yide Seven people went with this general, I don't know what everyone thinks?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Ma Dai, and Ma Yunluo all hugged their fists and wished to go, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at the eldest brother Liu Bei, who had not yet spoken, and hugged their fists to Lu Bu and said: "Report to the general, I will wait for the three brothers to live together and die in one place, where the eldest brother is, we will be there!" Since the start of the war, although the three brothers have made countless meritorious contributions, but every time it is because Zhang Fei stabbed out of the basket, Liu Bei's brothers are worried that they will be held accountable so they desperately remedy, at this time Liu Bei faintly felt that the trip to Xiliang would definitely be rewarded, so he gritted his teeth and took a step forward to Lu Bu and hugged his fist and said: "Report to the general, I am willing to go!" After getting Liu Bei and the three of them, it was much easier for Lu Bu to deal with the princes who were chattering and dissuading the troops, and saw that in the face of everyone's same reasons, Lu Bu smiled easily: "Don't worry, everyone, Dong Zhuo's army is now unavailable, otherwise they wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an to run the lair, and now Dong Zhuo's soldiers are fighting to the death because they feel that they still have hope for life, as long as they break through to Chang'an, they can live, but if they know that Chang'an is also lost, The psychological defense line will definitely collapse in an instant, and at that time, they will become lambs to the slaughter, and our army can be captured in one battle, well, this matter will be decided in this way, and there is no need to discuss it again! Speaking of which, Lu Bu was the first to walk out with a wave of his sleeves, and he knew very well in his heart that the reason why he decided to go away in person was because there were no generals in Dong Zhuo's army at the moment, and it was a pity to leave so many first-class generals; The second is that because he will meet this important person next, he will play a vital role in improving the overall combat effectiveness of his army.

Three hundred steps away from the Chinese army's big tent, in the ordnance camp of the Bingzhou army, Yuan Ruonan was introducing Liu Ye to Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You, and Chen Gong. But because there is no money to bribe the corrupt officials sent by the Ten Standing Servants to loot the people's fat and ointment, and have been repeatedly excluded and suppressed, six years, a full six years I lived in the mountains to study ordnance, I heard that Jizhou Assassin Han Fu is generous and loves the people and does not move to kill, so he went down the mountain to help me and wanted to make my knowledge useful, who would have thought, that Han Fu threw me into prison because I crashed into his cousin's carriage, it was really ...... How unreasonable! Speaking of indignation, Liu Ye couldn't cry several times, without scrupling that Ruonan was on the side, Jia Xu and others hurriedly stepped forward to persuade each other when they saw this.

"It's really sad and lamentable, Mr. Ziyang has been repeatedly excluded when he is a great sage in the world!" Lu Bu came over with twenty guards, hugged his fists at Liu Ye and said: "The Menghan room is in trouble, Mr. will not give up going down the mountain to help, Feng Xian would like to thank Mr. for his blood in serving the country as a big Han horse!" Liu Ye was dancing with a group of literati, drinking and discussing, and suddenly saw Lu Bu coming, and hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and said: "The general is loyal to the liver and courage, and he is not angry that the king of the Chaogang Xing will raise the banner of righteousness, Liu Ziyang admires it very much!" As the future mother of the Bingzhou Army, Yuan Ruonan and Miss Yuan naturally sat beside Lu Bu, only to hear the beauty lightly open her lips and say: "Fengxian, Mr. Ziyang is not only knowledgeable, but also has a unique secret skill!" "Oh? But what a unique secret skill, please tell me Mr.! Although he knew Liu Ye's details, Lu Bu still had to pretend. When Liu Ye heard this, he hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, Ziyang is just a mountain village man, how dare he bear the false praise of a boy and a girl?" Don't hide it from the general, Zi Yang's ancestors had the honor of being instructed by Master Lu Ban, and passed down a unique set of forging ordnance methods, Zi Yang has been studying for many years, and now although he doesn't dare to say that he has made some achievements, he can be regarded as knowing a little bit about it. When Lu Bu and the others heard this, they immediately stood up and saluted Liu Ye and said, "I didn't expect Ziyang to be a disciple of Master Lu Ban, I'm disrespectful!" Liu Ye naturally wanted to be polite, and waved his hand again and again to be humble, but Ruonan chuckled: "Mr. Ziyang, don't be modest, Fengxian, gentlemen, in Yecheng, the little woman has seen with her own eyes that Mr. Ziyang's two thunderbolts repelled the sneak attack of nearly 10,000 Yellow Turban Army!" ”

Hearing this, everyone was immediately shocked, and Jia Xu said: "I can't imagine that these two thunderbolts have such power, if hundreds or thousands are launched together, the scene must be quite spectacular!" Please ask Mr. Ziyang to explain to us what this thunderbolt is. When Liu Ye heard this, he said embarrassedly: "Actually, the two in Yecheng are not thunderbolts, they are just modified catapults!" "Actually, a thunderbolt is a kind of chariot that relies on human or horse-drawn chariots. Mounted on the body, bullet stones. Because the sound is like thunder, it is called the thunderbolt, to put it bluntly, it is an upgraded version of the stone-thrower, but the stone-throwing tool can only be used for defense, but the thunderbolt is free to advance and retreat, both offensive and defensive. When Lu Bu saw Liu Ye tell the truth about the secret of the thunderbolt car, he expected that this person had already acquiesced in his heart that he was the master, so he said: "Ziyang, I want to ask you for one thing, please be sure to agree." Liu Ye got up and hugged his fists and said, "General, please speak!" Lu Bu said: "Tomorrow I will lead my right-hand man to Ganliang, and it will take about two months to speed up the horse, and I would like to ask Mr. to build a hundred thunderbolt chariots for the siege of the rebels within two months." Hearing this, Liu Ye frowned and thought carefully for a while, before he said to Lu Bu: "General, it's not a problem to make ordnance, it's just ...... I don't have too many raw materials in the army! "Yes, you can't just let the horses run but don't let the horses eat grass, it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, this is really a bit embarrassing Liu Ye, Lu Buzheng frowned and thought about what to do, but heard Chen Gong on the side say leisurely: "Before Emperor Han Ling died, he built a Yuanshou Hall in the southern suburbs of Luoyang to pray for himself, but just after the completion of the construction, Emperor Han Ling died that night, I think, this palace is useless to keep!" ”

"Never." Before the words fell, Xun Yu hurriedly refused: "Lord, if the Yuanshou Palace is demolished, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Empress Dowager He to explain!" But Xun Yu said nonchalantly: "Extraordinary times are very means, lord, I think the plan of the public platform is feasible!" Among Lu Bu's four military advisors, Xun You and Chen Gong were the earliest, and the two had the deepest friendship with each other, and in many cases the two had the same opinions, so that Lu Bu often called the two good friends behind his back, and as a result, during a discussion, Lu Bu said to the two of them carelessly: "Please speak to the two good friends!" Immediately confused everyone, for this reason Lu Bu racked his brains to come up with an explanation to calm down the turmoil, only Jia Xu was left in the four major military divisions and did not speak, seeing that everyone was looking at him, Jia Xu said slyly: "During the war, which said that we demolished the Yuanshou Palace and came up with evidence, maybe the rebels did it?" As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other and laughed, Lu Bu agreed to all Liu Ye's requests on the spot, and transferred Xun Yu and Xun You's uncle and nephew to fully assist Liu Ye, and he took Jia Xu and Chen Gong to gather the soldiers and prepare to set off for Xiliang at dawn, this time, it was Yuan Ruonan's turn to be unhappy.

After everyone dispersed, Yuan Ruonan stepped forward and stopped in front of Lu Bu and said, "Fengxian, why don't you take me with you when you go to Xiliang?" Lu Bu was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he understood and hurriedly persuaded him: "Ruonan, you just rushed back from Bohai County, and your body has already been unbearable after the bumps along the way, this time we are going to rush to Xiliang quickly, for the sake of your health, I can only leave you here first, don't be willful, two months, I promise to come back to see you alive and well, okay?" Saying that, Lu Bu stepped forward and wanted to hug Ruonan, but was pushed away by Yuan Ruonan: "You still want to repeat the old tricks, right?" Hmph, tell you, I haven't settled the account with you last time, don't think I forgot, this time I must go with you, you can't stop me! It seems that the last time she knocked her unconscious in Ma Mingguan, this little girl still remembers, looking at her resolute appearance, Lu Bu knows that even if she doesn't take her, she will secretly follow her alone, instead of letting her go on the road alone, it is better to follow the team, thinking of this, Lu Bu had to nod helplessly and said: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, come with me!" ”

Xiliang, Han Sui's mansion, received Dong Zhuo's summons Han Sui immediately summoned his eight lieutenants Liang Xing, candidates, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Ruan, Yang Qiu and the strategist Cheng Gongying Dao Mansion to discuss, since the suppression of Li Wenhou's rebellion, the imperial court has been because of Han Sui's rebellion in Jincheng, and all the eight generals in his hands were transferred to other places, but this move was self-defeating, Han Sui closely contacted the henchmen transferred to all parties, and had to meet at home at the beginning and end of each month, so his power developed rapidly, Until Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the Ganliang area has become a three-legged situation of the Xiliang Ma family, the Tianshui Dong family, and the Jincheng Han family, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and after Ma Chao joined the alliance, the emptiness of the Ma and Dong families in the Ganliang area gave Han Sui an opportunity, and Ganliang at this time has become a situation where Han Sui's family is dominant.

"Lord, I think this is feasible!" Captain Liang Xing said, "Now Xiliang is our family, Dong Zhuo's soldiers are trapped in Duting, as long as the Ma family is defeated, tens of thousands of horses in Li Dao Guo Bian's district will not be a threat to us, we can ambush a military horse outside Chang'an City in advance, and when Li Dao and Guo Yan's main forces come out, we can take the opportunity to capture Chang'an." Hearing this, Zhang Heng also stood up and said: "After that, the last general is willing to lead the soldiers of his department to sweep away the armies of Tianshui, and the lord can personally raise troops and horses and go straight south to Hangu Pass. The blood of the people who said this was boiling, and they seemed to see a bright future, but Han Sui was silent for a long time, and there seemed to be something difficult. ”

Han Sui raised his head in embarrassment and said: "Yes, I couldn't escape the death of Yi Yun'er back then, Shoucheng has never blamed me, I followed Li Wenhou to rebel in front, and it was Shoucheng who persuaded me hard in front of Lord Huangfu Song to save my life, now, how can I take revenge!" Hearing this, Cheng Gongying smiled slightly, only to hear him speak: "In this way, why does Xiliang Ma Chao draw his sword every time he sees the general?" Hearing this, Han Sui couldn't help but be shocked: "What do you mean?" Cheng Gongying: "If you don't raise your godfather's fault, I don't believe it, this matter has nothing to do with him Ma Shoucheng!" ”
