Xuejiazhai in the upper reaches of the Fen River, the whole village was besieged by Dong Yi's Hedong soldiers, this is an abandoned cottage, because of the plague and locust plague, and constantly disturbed by the Baibo army, most of the villagers who survived also fled to the south, although the cottage has long been abandoned, but at this moment, there are thousands of Hedong soldiers stationed, not only all the entrances and exits of the cottage are guarded tightly, and even the smoke of the cottage wafts from time to time above the cottage, the smoke drifts with the wind, and it keeps rising, it looks like it is very lively, Those who don't know think that these soldiers will bury pots and cook here as a temporary base.

At present, the war is tight, Dong Yi is not so idle, and he has no effort to set up camp here, but now he has to camp again temporarily, because, the crossbow brought by Gan Ning makes Dong Yi feel very good, Dong Yi has always thought that the crossbow is Zhuge Liang's masterpiece, but he didn't expect Huang Yueying to bring a surprise to himself, seeing the crossbow brought back by Gan Ning, Dong Yi immediately decided to camp temporarily, and ordered the soldiers to invite all the blacksmith oven masters nearby, and started work overnight, Now dozens of nearby blacksmith masters have all been brought to Xuejiazhai by Hedong soldiers, such a confidential matter, Dong Yi has to send heavy troops to guard it strictly, once the secret is revealed, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Lord, are you back, have you seen General Xu? How's it going? Gan Ning personally led the troops to guard in front of the gate of the village, rode Dong Yi and others back, and hurriedly greeted them.

Dong Yi nodded with a smile, handed the reins of the horse to the guard beside him, flew off the horse, and beckoned to Gan Ning, "Let's talk about it when we go back to the village." ”

After returning to the village, he first inspected the process of building a repeater. After a day and a night of rushing work. Nearly a hundred repeaters have been crafted today. Two thousand crossbow bolts. Dong Yi shook his head lightly, "It's still too little, I ordered all the generals, except for the guards who stayed behind to guard the villages in front and behind, the rest of the people couldn't be idle for me, and for three days' work, I must build three hundred crossbows and ten thousand crossbow arrows." Time is pressing, be sure to hurry up and hurry up, tell those blacksmith masters, the salary is four times, these three days, try not to rest. ”

"However, the lord and these people know the secret of the crossbow arrow, what should they do with it after they are built? You can't just let them go back, can you? Gan Ning was thoughtful and asked with a worried face.

"Xingba. If these people are kept and useful, don't blindly kill them all. It's just that, don't let them go home for the time being, once the matter in Hedong is over, take these people to Bingzhou, and when they get there, there is an opportunity for them to show their skills, after all, we not only have to build crossbow arrows, all kinds of blades and armor, but we can't slack off, give them more settling-in expenses, I really don't want to go, when necessary, you can kill chickens and monkeys to deter them a little, tell them, follow me, keep them prosperous and rich, otherwise, you can only..." Then don't blame us for being ruthless, this is the iron rule of survival in troubled times, we can't do anything, blindly have compassion and benevolence, and before we have absolute strength, we are just flowers in the mirror. ”

"Xingba understands." Gan Ning nodded hurriedly, he knew that the lord didn't want to do it to innocent people, but sometimes, he had to do it, everything was for the sake of the overall situation.

"Then what did General Xu Rong say? Has the lord ever negotiated with him a plan to destroy the enemy? Back in the Juyi Hall, everyone sat together, and their eyes all looked at Dong Yi.

"What? Are you just looking forward to Lu Bu's defeat? Dong Yi's words were unexpected, and everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment.

"My lord, what do you mean by this? Isn't it not that we have gone to great lengths to build bows and crossbows and destroy the trapped camp in order to defeat Lu Bu as soon as possible? What's more, at the moment, Xu Rong is leading the troops to attack strongly, for us, it is simply a good thing to strengthen the wings of a tiger, and it is not a good thing for the two families to work together to get rid of Lu Bu. Wen Chou said puzzled.

"Yes, in my opinion, there is no need to be verbose, as soon as the crossbow arrows are completed, I will immediately send troops to attack Lu Bu, and strive for not a single state army to let go." Xu Chu also nodded in response.

"Hehe..." looked at everyone with a smile, and finally Dong Yi's eyes fell on Xu Huang, who had never expressed his position, Xu Huang saw Dong Yi looking at him, and hurriedly got up and said, "I'm afraid that the lord wants the benefit of the left-handed fisherman this time, and he is not in a hurry to make a move, of course, it is not to let go of Lu Bu, but to make appropriate use of it and rub the sharp spirit of the Xiliang Army." ”

"This is also a helpless move, but it has to be so, although the three armies of Xiliang are all created by my father, but, our two fathers and sons, after all, we have taken different paths, I don't want to be an enemy of my father in the future, so, I hope..."

Sighing heavily, Dong Yi didn't know how to continue, but Xu Huang nodded, "The lord's suffering, I understand, although the lord will inevitably face the Taishi in the future, but the lord wants to solve this matter in the most peaceful way, that is, to let the power of the Taishi always be weak, at that time, the lord's soldiers are strong and strong, and the Taishi can naturally weigh the pros and cons and take a few steps back, which should be the most desired ending for the lord, after all, the Taishi disaster has long been unpopular, and the grievances between the lord and the Taishi will one day, I'm afraid that it is difficult to face the opposite, and it is good to borrow Lu Bu to weaken it appropriately. ”

"There is another meaning, you are all my good generals, and I won't hide it from you, since in the eyes of the world, it has become a foregone conclusion that our father and son turn against each other, then it is reasonable to do this, not to mention, you can also let the young emperor of the imperial city take the opportunity to see the sincerity of our Hedong."

Xu Huang nodded and said with a smile, "The lord's plan is really clever, just yesterday, Luoyang has sent back an urgent report, His Majesty has granted General Zhang Xiu's knighthood, and I have rewarded all the officials and generals in Hedong one by one, this matter, the Taishi did not object, I believe that next, after getting rid of Lu Bu, he also destroyed Bai Bo Li Le, and the court naturally praised the lord." ”

Xu Huang touched his scalp and smirked, "The lord's sitting, reaping the benefits of the fisherman, is really interlocking, and it has confused me Xu Chu, hey, first used Lu Bu's army to crusade against Li Le, and took the opportunity to weaken Li Le's troops, and then the military division took the opportunity to seize the command of the Baibo army, and then let Lu Bu and Xu Rong have a life-and-death battle, and they consumed each other, hehe, and then let's give Lu Bu a complete thunderous blow at the right time, my lord, your head is so powerful, I don't know what to say." ”

"Zhong Kang, you are wrong, it's not two to reap the benefits of fishermen, it's three, first, you are right, use Lu Bu to weaken Li Le's Bai Bo army, second, use Xu Ronghuaxiong to let them fight each other as much as possible to consume the strength of both sides, and third, lord, can you say it?" Xu Huang looked at Dong Yi halfway through speaking, Dong Yi nodded indifferently, and Xu Huang then smiled and said, "Third, it is to take advantage of the opposition between Your Majesty and the Grand Master, and also take the opportunity to seek the greatest interests."
