Chapter 181: Preparations of all parties

"Sailor?!"

Gao Zhan's words were like a bolt of lightning across Liu Kun's mind, and the things that he had never been able to figure out in the past had all been figured out at once. No wonder Gao Zhan has always been full of confidence, it turns out that he has relied on it.

At this time, Wen Qiao suddenly stood up and walked outside to take a map in, he spread the map on the desk, and used his hand to compare between Liaodong and the eastern part of Youzhou Yanguo for a while, raised his head and said to his uncle Liu Kun with excitement on his face: "Uncle, if Liaodong really has an elite sailor as Gao Changshi said, it is really possible to defeat Shile in the shortest possible time!" ”

"If we can defeat Shile in the shortest possible time, we will have enough time to return to the state! Once Liu Cong takes advantage of the fire to rob, there is no need to worry about Jinyang being in danger! At this time, Liu Kun was also interested, although he still did not have any good impression of Wang Jun, but for the sake of the overall situation, he did not rule out sending troops to rescue Youzhou.

Liu Kun said excitedly: "So...... Is it possible to directly reject the Shile messenger? ”

Listening to his uncle's advice, Wen Qiao couldn't help but roll his eyes. In Wen Qiao's eyes, Liu Kun is good in all aspects, but he is too 'honest'! In recent years, every time he faces the black-bellied Shi Le or the cruel Liu Cong, he will always suffer!

Looking at Wen Qiao, whose face was embarrassed, Gao Zhanqiang couldn't help but smile and persuaded: "Gong Liu, don't worry, doesn't Shi Le want to stabilize and merge the state?" You might as well say yes to each other first! Later, when Liu Gong received the envoy of Shile, he tried to exaggerate the problems faced by Bingzhou, and it was best to make the envoy think that even if Liu Gong did not agree to form an alliance with Shile, Bingzhou would not be able to send troops to rescue Youzhou. ”

Liu Kun is not ignorant of conspiracy and trickery, he is just a matter of character, in fact, as soon as Gao Zhan opened his mouth, he reacted, and he also understood the deep meaning of Gao Zhan's words, which was nothing more than to paralyze Shi Le.

"The meaning of the scene, Liu knows. Let's see how so-and-so performs! ”

Sure enough, when Liu Kun met with Shile's envoy, he talked about the threats and difficulties faced by Jinyang, and at the same time accidentally 'exposed' the suspicion between Jinyang and Tuoba Xianbei. Xu Guang himself did not expect that the harvest of this trip would be so huge, not only successfully persuaded Liu Kun to agree to an alliance with his side, but also found out a lot of inside information.

……

When Xu Guang returned to Xiangguo. told Shi Le everything he saw and heard in Bingzhou, and repeatedly assured Liu Kun that he was not worried. For his old opponent Liu Kun, Shi Le could play it in the palm of his own hand, and he did not have any doubts about Xu Guang's words, but strengthened his determination to take Youzhou next year.

After leveling Liu Kun and stabilizing the interior of Jizhou, it can be said that the time is ripe to take Youzhou, and there is only a lack of a suitable opportunity.

"Mengsun, Liu Yueshiguo, as Mr. expected, not only allowed me to send troops to conquer Youzhou. He also swore that he would ask the Jin room for credit for me, did he think that Lao Tzu was rare and rewarded by the Jin family? This is thanks to the gentleman's plan! However, at the moment, I still have a difficult matter, Meng Sun is willing to solve my doubts? ”

"Please make it clear to the lord that you should know everything and say everything when you make up your mind!"

"The day before yesterday, Meng Sun suggested that I make a surprise attack on Youzhou, I have been thinking about it for many days and still have nothing to gain, can Meng Sun have a plan to help my army hide from the outside world? In particular, Wang Jun can't be noticed. Otherwise, our army may fall into the battlefield of Youzhou and cause unpredictable dangers. ”

"Don't worry, and listen to the next word. We might as well do this, do this! ”

……

Liaodong, Xiangping, and Song should be in the palace to meet with the secret envoy from the Murong tribe, since the last time he got in touch with Murong Diao, he has colluded with Murong Diao. At first, Song Ying didn't expect that he would betray Wei Shuo. can see that Wei Shuo attaches more and more importance to Gao Zhan, and made a wrong choice under a hot head, and now he can't turn back.

"Go back and tell your family Da Shan Yu, just say that Liaodong has united Liu Kun, Shao Xu and other northern separatist forces to deal with Shile, and Shile will definitely lose this battle. Please be prepared for contingencies. ”

The person who came smiled and nodded, "Please rest assured, Lord Song, I will definitely pass on your words to my family Shan Yu in the future!" In addition, Da Shan Yu also told Lord Song that as long as the Lord helps my Murong tribe unify Liaodong, my Lord will be the first hero of my Murong tribe in the future! ”

Song should be regarded as a person who has seen the world, how could he take the reward of the leader of a small Hu clan in his eyes! Seeing that Song should have nothing to say, the Murong envoy couldn't help but retreat.

Since Murong Diao and Song should be on the line, the Murong tribe is no longer blind to Liaodong, but the more they know about Liaodong, the more they are afraid of Wei Shuo. All the policies and regulations promulgated by Liaodong made Murong Diao feel admired and fascinated, and at the same time, he was even more envious of the staff under Wei Shuo.

This time, the information brought back by the secret envoy from Liaodong shocked Murong Diao, he didn't expect Wei Shuo to secretly contact so many forces in order to deal with Shi Le. Even Liu Kun, who had a dislike for Wang Jun, agreed to send troops to Youzhou, which shows the importance that Liaodong attaches to Shile. But Murong Diao didn't care about this, he only promised to lend the road to Liaodong, but he would not directly send troops to intervene in the battle of Youzhou.

……

In November of the first year of Jianxing, after months of brutal training, the Modao team has initially possessed actual combat ability, and Modao has completely integrated Liu Yao into the Modao team. In order to cooperate with the Modao team to exert their power on the battlefield, Wei Shuo asked the military workshop under the Ordnance Supervision to develop various crossbows and prepare to form crossbow soldiers.

The crossbow is a powerful weapon in the ancient era of cold weapons, which can snipe enemies from a distance. During the Qin Dynasty, the general Meng Tian relied on infantry to defeat the powerful Xiongnu cavalry, of which crossbowmen played a huge role.

The crossbow has a long history in the history of ancient Chinese warfare, invented in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, prevailed in the Song and Song dynasties, and finally declined in the Ming and Qing dynasties, when firearms were popular. It can be said that before the invention of artillery, the crossbow was the king of war with great power on the battlefield.

In November, it was already snowing heavily in Liaodong, and in the snowflakes, Wei Shuo went to the military workshop to inspect the production of bows and crossbows. The workshop is full of busy people and clanging sounds, and because of the stove, it has formed two worlds that are completely different from the outside world, and the comfortable temperature makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

"Lord, you see, that's the Divine Arm Crossbow that the Ordnance Supervisor is producing with all his might!"

The master craftsman who was in charge of the production task of the military workshop asked Minfu to take a divine arm crossbow that had just been taken from the production line in front of him, and introduced excitedly: "The god arm crossbow has a bow body length of three feet three, a string length of two feet five, and a range of up to two hundred and forty steps!" Although the range is still far inferior to those large bed crossbows, the Divine Arm Crossbow has an advantage that large bed crossbows cannot match! ”

Wei Shuo smiled and said nothing, letting the master master chatter excitedly in his ear, as a modern person, he knew better than him the advantages of the Divine Arm Crossbow. The Divine Arm Crossbow has the convenience that large bed crossbows do not have, it does not need several or even dozens of people to operate at the same time, and only one person needs to step on the iron ring at the front of the arm to complete the pre-shooting preparation.

"My lord, after testing on the school field, the Divine Arm Bow can shoot through the standard armor currently equipped by the Jin army from a distance of one hundred and eighty steps. Even if all the cavalry under Shile's command were wearing iron armor, as long as they entered the range of the Divine Arm Crossbow, they would not be able to resist the power of the Divine Arm Crossbow. ”

Wei Shuo stepped forward and picked up a divine arm crossbow casually, took the crossbow arrow about two feet five long from the guard's hand, stepped on the iron ring with his feet, pulled the bowstring with both hands, and easily put a crossbow arrow in the crossbow machine.

"Well, yes, very good, you have done a great job! How many Divine Arm Crossbows can be produced in a month now? ”

Seeing Wei Shuo's question, the master craftsman hurriedly replied: "Back to the lord, there are about 800 people in the entire military workshop, including craftsmen at all levels and people's husbands, and they can produce 50 crossbows with divine arms every month. ”

"What?! How is it only fifty? Wei Shuo couldn't help but be very dissatisfied when he listened to the report of the master craftsman, there were more than 1,000 people in the entire military workshop, how could it be possible to only produce this little thing.

Seeing Wei Shuo's anger, the master craftsman hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Lord, the military workshop has just completed the production of Mo knives, and now it is making every effort to produce new sabers for the cavalry troops. ”

"Therefore, the subordinates can't allocate more resources to produce the Divine Arm Crossbow, and fifty a month is already the result of the continuous efforts in the workshop day and night!" (To be continued.) )
