In Luoyang, Xiang Zhuang was inspecting the arsenal in the north of the city under the swarm of generals Wei Yu, Huan Chu, and Ji Bu.

Huan Chu's face was full of red light, and he said very excitedly while leading the way: "General, we are really rich this time, the Luoyang arsenal is full of swords, halberds, shields, and armor, not to mention that it can also arm an army of 20,000!" Saying this, Huan Chu said with some pity, "It's a pity that we don't have so many people, hey......"

As he was talking, Xiang Zhuang and his entourage walked into one of the warehouses.

I saw that a whole row of bungalows were piled up with battle robes and leather armor, and the height of the stacks was almost level with the beams.

The remaining rows of bungalows were stacked with double-edged swords, halberds, shields and other weapons, as well as a small amount of iron armor.

For these unexpected harvests, Xiang Zhuang was not too surprised, Luoyang is the county of Sanchuan, coupled with Lu Ze's painstaking governance, it has faintly become the leading Xiongcheng Dayi in the Central Plains, and in the past three or two years, it has become the base camp of the Han army in the eastern part of the country, so it is not uncommon to hoard so many swords, halberds and shields in Luoyang's arsenal.

So much so that even the warehouses in Luoyang were filled with grain, hundreds of thousands of stone of military food, enough for five thousand Chu troops to eat for several years, these grains were sent to Luoyang from Xianyang Taicang, originally to be sent to Puyang in the next few days, to supply Liu Bang's army, but now all become the trophies of the Chu army.

However, the heavy siege equipment that Xiang Zhuang wanted most, such as ladders and siege vehicles, was the same, and until he inspected the entire arsenal, Xiang Zhuang did not find a ladder or a siege vehicle!

Xiang Zhuang was inevitably a little disappointed, and asked Huan Chu: "That's all?" Are there any other warehouses? ”

"Uh, no." Huan Chu was a little overwhelmed, and said in a low voice, "General, aren't these enough?" ”

"What we need most now are ladders and siege vehicles!" Xiang Zhuang paused, and then said, "I asked you to collect the blacksmiths, carpenters, and weaponsmiths in Luoyang City, how did you go?" ”

"Rest assured, the general has already done this." Huan Chu patted Xiong Chest, and said proudly, "The last general has captured Luoyang's arsenal order, and this old boy has hundreds of craftsmen under his command, including blacksmiths, carpenters, and weaponsmiths." After that, Huan Chu turned around and instructed his soldiers, "Go, bring that old boy up." ”

The soldiers led the order and soon came to Xiang Zhuang with a dry little old man.

The little old man was not good-looking, but he had eyesight, and he could see at once that Xiang Zhuang was the main person in charge of this group, and he looked at Xiang Zhuang with trembling at the moment, and said respectfully: "The old man lost the car, and he saw the general." ”

"Mr. Gong loses, you don't have to be polite." Xiang Zhuang returned the salute and said, "I don't know how many carpenters the old gentleman has?" ”

Bus lane: "There are more than 300 people. ”

Xiang Zhuang said again: "Will you make ladders and siege vehicles?" ”

"Yes, of course, and even make wells." "But the ladders, siege trucks, and wells are all heavy equipment, which is quite time-consuming and laborious to manufacture, and I don't know which city the general wants to attack?" Because the walls of each city are of different heights, the height requirements for siege equipment will also vary. ”

Xiang Zhuang said: "What if General Ben wants to attack Hangu Pass? ”

"Hangu Pass is the first pass in the world, the wall is more than six zhang high, and the height of the ladder and the well needs to be at least seven zhang! I don't know how many ladders and how many wells the general needs? "The bus was very cooperative, so much so that he was enthusiastic, and he did not refuse to do things for the Chu army because he was the arsenal order of the Han army.

In reality, this was also a special feature of the times at that time, when the Central Plains people's national concept was extremely weak, like Wei Ying, although he was born in Wei Guo, he was able to serve Qin with peace of mind, and he was like Wei Yu, who was originally the sworn enemy of Great Qin, Wei Guoren, but in the end he still became the Taiwei of Qin, and single-handedly formulated a strategy to destroy Wei!

Scholars like Wei Ying and Wei Yi don't have too deep a national concept, so it is more and more impossible for craftsmen like Gong Yi to have any national concept, and most of these craftsmen are keen on crafts, you just need to give them the opportunity to dispose of their favorite trades, and it is not a question of what country they work for.

Xiang Zhuang thought for a while and said, "How long will it take to have twenty ladders, twenty wells, and five siege vehicles?" ”

The bus lost a moment silently in his heart, and then replied: "General, three days is enough!" ”

"Good!" Xiang Zhuang said, "General Ben will give you three days, within three days, if you need anything, General Ben will definitely meet your requirements, but after three days, if you can't take out twenty ladders, twenty wells and five siege vehicles, then don't blame General Ben for being unkind to you." ”

The bus lane: "The general can rest assured, the materials and craftsmen are ready-made, and they will be ready in three days!" ”

"Good." Xiang Zhuang nodded happily and said, "In addition to letting the carpenter make ladders, wells and siege vehicles, the blacksmiths under your command can't be idle, General Ben urgently needs a weapon now, and General Ben will let people provide dozens of sample knives later, and in the past few days, let your blacksmith open up manufacturing, and you can fight as much as you want!" ”

Returning to the county guard mansion from the arsenal, Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yu couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

It takes at least three days to make ladders, wells, and siege vehicles, but can the news of the loss of Luoyang be blocked for three days? Although when the Chu army attacked the city, the four gates were locked in advance, and absolutely no one from the defenders and people in the city escaped, but the people scattered outside the city would hear the movement to some extent, and the peddlers were not allowed to enter the city for three days, so some people would definitely be suspicious.

Once Lu Ze of Aocang gets the news, he will definitely return to Sanchuan County as soon as possible, and then there will be a big trouble.

I don't know if Wu She's discordant plan has succeeded, if Lu Ze has already fought with Peng Yue, then the Chu army will no longer have any worries.

However, now, Xiang Zhuang has no other way to think of it, so he can only send more scouts to guard the galloping road to Hangu Pass in the west and Hujiao Pass in the east, and wantonly intercept and kill suspicious people, etc., so as to block all news of Sanchuan County as much as possible, and the news of the Chu army's capture of Luoyang will definitely spread, but before it spreads, it can be delayed for as long as it can.

Wei Yu was still not at ease, and told Gao Chu again: "General Gao Chu, have the scouts been sent out?" ”

"Don't worry, the military advisor has been dispatched." Gao Chu Senran said, "More than a dozen scout teams have been sent in the direction of Hangu Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, and the Chidao that runs through Sanchuan County is completely under the control of the scout team, or what the general said, it is better to kill the wrong person than to let it go, as long as it looks suspicious, you will be killed immediately!" ”

Wei Yu sighed: "In extraordinary times, this is also a helpless thing. ”

As soon as the words fell, Gongsun suddenly strode into the hall of the government office, and bowed to Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yu: "General, military advisor, Mr. Wu Shi has finally sent back news!" ”

"Oh?" Xiang Zhuang Huo Ran turned around and said hurriedly, "What about people?" ”

Gongsun then turned around and beckoned, and a dead soldier walked in proudly, and then immediately saluted Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yu respectively: "The villain Shidunzi, I have seen the general and the military division. ”

Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said urgently: "Tell me, how is Mr. Wu She's doing?" ”

Shi Dunzi said it from beginning to end from the beginning of Wu Shi to the time he persuaded Chen Feng to attack the Tiger Prison Pass.

Xiang Zhuang was overjoyed when he heard this, he really didn't expect that Wu Shi really separated Lu Ze and Peng Yue, although in the end it failed because of Liu Bang's sudden appearance, but the short melee between the Han army and the Liang army still created an opportunity for Chen Xian's breakthrough, and what made Xiang Zhuang even more overjoyed was that Wu Shi actually attracted Chen Yan's 30,000 strong men!

Wei Yu was also overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "General, providence, providence!" ”

"Yes, providence, the sky will not destroy my great Chu, hahaha." Xiang Zhuang looked up to the sky and laughed three times, then turned his head and shouted, "Gongsun Sui, beat the drum and gather the troops, this general will personally lead the camp and attack the Tiger Prison Pass first!" ”

Tiger Prison Pass, the rebel attack was once again repulsed, and hundreds of corpses were added under the East Pass.

In the chaotic footsteps, a white-robed young general strode up the wall along the horse road under the swarm of more than a dozen generals, the white-robed young general was about twenty years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, wearing bright silver scale armor, wearing a silver crown with tied hair, carrying a sword at his waist, and the scabbard was inlaid with colorful gems, which was very luxurious and dazzling.

A bloodied Han general immediately stepped forward and bowed to the white-robed young general: "Eldest son, these rebels are so unbeatable that they have already piled down hundreds of corpses and retreated before they even approached the wall. ”

The white-robed young general is none other than Lu Ze's eldest son, Lu Tai.

Lu Tai waved his hand and said disapprerovitically: "The general should not be careless, I think the rebels are deliberately showing weakness." ”

Saying this, Lu Tai said again: "Just by the light of the fire, this son faintly saw that there is a pole in the rebel army, if nothing happens, the rebel general should be Chen Xuan, this person likes to raise soldiers, and the diners under him are called eight hundred, these eight hundred people are all equipped with unique skills, and Chen Feng mostly wants to stay in the end as a trump card to use." ”

General Han was surprised: "Chen Xuan? Isn't he trapped in Aocang City? ”

"Something happened to Ao Cang." Lu Tai sighed and said, "Liang Wang Peng Yue listened to the greedy words of his staff member Kui Che, and recently had a conflict with his father, and Chen Feng probably took this opportunity to break through from Aocang. After saying this, Lu Tai sneered again, "However, Chen Xuan really shouldn't have come to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, hehe." ”

General Han nodded, and said, "Eldest son, why don't you take eight hundred elite soldiers out of the customs to rush him for a while?" ”

"That's not necessary." Lu Tai waved his hand and said indifferently: "If nothing happens, the next BO to attack Chen Feng should dispatch his eight hundred guests, let's come up with a plan and give the rebels a ruthless one!" ”

After that, Lu Tai leaned into the ear of the Han general and whispered a few words, and the Han general nodded again and again, and said: "The last general will go down to prepare, and the guest who keeps Chen Feng will not come back, hehe." ”！。
