As Cao Cao guessed, Liu Chuang saw that Cao Cao could not avoid the battle, so he only shouted and scolded for a while, and then collected his troops and returned to the city.

He did not choose to attack, because he also knew that it would be beneficial to storm Cao's army.

Cao Cao had obviously taken precautions, and in this case, instead of doing anything good, a strong attack would easily lead to the loss of his troops.

Yesterday's hard fight was to improve morale and stabilize the morale of the army.

It would be unwise to try it again today.

After returning to Guanjin, Zhuge Liang came forward.

"Lord, Cao Cao didn't fight?"

Liu Chuang nodded, and suddenly asked, "Kong Ming, what do you think?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and said softly: "With Cao Cao's current situation, he will never avoid the battle lightly."

He didn't bargain yesterday and will definitely try to save face. But if he can't avoid the battle today, it means that he is afraid...... If it hadn't happened, he wouldn't have decided to do this? Therefore, Liang thought that Cao Cao was jealous, so he was reluctant to fight with the main car. ”

"Then Kong Ming thinks that he is afraid because of this?"

Zhuge Liang's eyes sparkled, and he said softly: "Isn't it Hedong, you have seen it?" ”

It must be so!

Zhuge Liang's guess coincided with Liu Chuang's thoughts.

Today, the report of the battle in Hedong has not yet come. But according to Cao Cao's table, it must be that Hedong has already known.

If so......

Liu Chuang calculated in his heart.

At this time, Tai Shixiang suddenly hurriedly stepped forward and handed a letter to Liu Chuang.

Liu Chuang didn't hide from everyone, but opened the letter in public, and after glancing at it, he couldn't help laughing......

What Kong Ming said is really not bad.

It looks like the winner between me and Cao Cao. And we will see it today. ”

After speaking, he glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Hedong is a great victory, the Xun army division has invaded Hedong, and Zhong Yuan is often trapped in Baibo Valley. ”

in the lobby. There was a moment of silence.

A moment later, a series of cheers erupted.

Liu Chuang smiled and smiled silently.

He and Zhuge Liang made eye contact, nodded in unison, and already understood in their hearts.

Although everyone wondered why Xun Chen defeated Zhong Xuan so quickly, Liu Chuang didn't say anything. They don't ask.

Everyone only needs to know one thing: Liu Chuang has won!

The lord wins!

As for how Liu Chuang captured Hedong, it doesn't seem to matter.

When it's time to solve the mystery, it will naturally be revealed...... And now, all they have to do is cheer out loud!

It's no wonder that from Liu Chuang's military view, it has been almost a month in the blink of an eye. During these days. All were under tremendous pressure.

Especially during the period when Liu Chuang retreated to Wuyi, Pang De, Xu Chu and others were trembling.

It's not that they don't believe Zhuge Liang, but Cao Cao's offensive was really fierce during that period of time...... Nowadays, all the stress is gone, and the hardest time. It's also gone. Next, let's just see how Liu Chuang will fight back to achieve victory.

Zhuge Liang stood up and coughed lightly.

"Princesses, the decisive battle is today, please be sure to cheer up."

The decisive battle is today?

Everyone was stunned and hurriedly looked at Zhuge Liang.

saw Zhuge Liang smiling, and his face revealed an unfathomable color......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

After Cao Cao arranged the generals to patrol the camp, he returned to the tent to rest.

This whole day. He was thinking about things in Hedong. The more he thought about it, the more scared he felt...... Because he was faintly aware that Liu Chuang would soon exert his strength. However, he didn't know what Liu Chuang's back move was? If the defeat of Hedong is not clarified for a day, he will not be at peace for a day.

It was late at night. It's windy outside.

The wind blowing from the surface of the Zhangshui River was wet, but there was no sense of coolness.

Cao Cao couldn't sleep, so he sat in the tent and read.

The book he reads today is a "Examination Record" compiled by Nanshan Academy. This examination is a document that records the specifications of various types of work in the handicraft industry and the manufacturing process during the Warring States period. The book is based on the handicraft industry of the Qi State, and at the same time retains a large number of production techniques of the pre-Qin handicraft industry. However, in this "Examination Record" compiled by Nanshan Academy, there are also some Mojia documents.

Mohist is an indispensable thought in the pre-Qin era, where a hundred schools of thought contended.

And Mo Zhai himself also attaches great importance to science and technology culture, leaving many records about this aspect.

It's just that with the rise of Great Qin, the Chu and Han dynasties fought for hegemony, and the Mohist culture was gradually lost, and only a few people still retained the classics of Mohist thought.

In this Nanshan Academy version of "Examination Records", some records about Mojia culture are attached.

Cao Cao was quite interested in this book.

Because from this "Examination of Work", he seems to feel a different way of thinking......

The Han Dynasty focused on agriculture and attached much more importance to handicraft industry. It seems that the grand occasion of gathering millions of craftsmen in Linzi of Qi State has almost disappeared since the Han Dynasty. Although the imperial court established such and such workshops, in fact there was nothing special.

But Cao Cao found that the preservation of handicrafts seemed to be more important than he thought.

Nanshan Academy, sea boats, ballista cars......

He put down the book, looking thoughtful.

Starting from Donglai, Beihai, Liu Chuang's attention to handicraft craftsmen is beyond the ordinary.

He built a dockyard in Duchang Xiayi, but it did not attract people's attention. Including Cao Cao, he only thought that Liu Chuang built the dock in preparation for retreating to western Liaoning. At most, he would praise Liu Chuang's vision, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

It wasn't until Liu Chuang crossed the sea this time to attack, showing an unusual means of attack, that Cao Cao ordered to let Man Chong reopen the shipyard.

But, that's all.

Liu Chuang compiled this "Examination of Work", is it really just for shipbuilding?

It is said that he implemented a water irrigation tool called Liu Gongche in the Hetao, which could pump water out of the river and irrigate the fields located on high places; I heard that he invented something called 'cement', which not only speeds up the construction of roads. It can also strengthen the city's defense capabilities. It is said that Liu Chuang built many military towns in Saibei, and it was this cement that was used as a material, which shortened the construction time a lot.

Heard......

Cao Cao realized that in the past few years. He overlooked a lot of things.

He put too much energy into Yuan Shao. After he eliminated Yuan Shao, he found that a beast even more ferocious than Yuan Shao had entrenched itself in the northern frontier. In the past, Liu Chuang recruited craftsmen on a large scale and strengthened handicraft manufacturing. This also allowed Liu Chuang to develop rapidly, and the two states of northern Xinjiang were under his rule. It appears to be extremely prosperous and developed......

Handicraft, handicraft!

Cao Cao found out that he really underestimated Liu Chuang.

Just then, there was a boom, boom, boom outside...... A series of loud bangs.

Did it thunder?

Cao Cao was stunned. Hurriedly walked out of the big tent.

But I saw that there was chaos in Cao's camp, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled.

There was a pungent smell in the air. From the direction of Yuanmen, billowing smoke rose from the gate.

The soldiers of the Cao army fled in a hurry, crying and shouting one by one.

"What's going on?"

"Lord, it's not good...... That Liu Chuang attracted the thunder of the sky, and the lightning struck the gate. ”

"What?"

Cao Cao's voice just fell. Then I heard another series of loud bangs.

This time, he saw clearly.

I saw a ball of fire at the gate, and a huge sound was accompanied by the firelight. In the firelight, Cao Cao saw with his own eyes that a general of the Cao army was blown up with his men and horses. That kind of visual impact made Cao Cao feel an inexplicable fear.

Bang!

A loud bang was heard.

A row of crossbows came in from outside Cao's camp, and one of them landed about 100 meters away from Cao Cao.

Cao Cao could see that the crossbow gun was made of wood, and at the end of the crossbow gun, there was a lead that was burning rapidly. Follow. The ballista made a loud bang and a ball of flames erupted.

Within five meters of the surrounding area, Sergeant Cao was blown to the ground.

What is it?

Cao Cao's head buzzed, and it suddenly went blank.

He seemed to understand a little why Zhong Xuan was in just three days. and was defeated.

When Liu Chuang used the ballista yesterday, Cao Cao was not particularly clear about Liu Chuang's intentions...... But now he understands that Liu Chuang is clearly using the fight on the battlefield to determine the shooting distance of the ballista. Moreover, it was precisely because Liu Chuang put the ballista into use yesterday that Cao Cao did not take more precautions. Now, he finally used his final killing move, but Cao Cao was extremely shocked.

"Lord, get out of the way!"

Cao Peng's voice suddenly came into Cao Cao's ears, and he turned his head to look, and saw Cao Peng running towards him quickly.

Before he could react, he saw Cao Peng suddenly jump up and knock him to the ground. A ballista whistled through the air, followed by a boom, exploding in mid-air. Cao Cao was pressed under Cao Peng, but struggled to raise his head to see clearly.

But this look startled him.

After the ballista explodes, it shoots out a lot of gold and iron items.

The Cao soldier closest to the explosion site was instantly beaten into a honeycomb coal-like appearance, and there was no intact part of his body.

"Youxue, what is this?"

Cao Peng got up and helped Cao Cao.

His face was equally pale, without any blood.

Hearing Cao Cao's inquiry, Cao Peng hurriedly replied, "This must be the one who made the demon law by Liu Chuang...... Lord, the front army is already in chaos, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the soldiers and horses of Liaodong will be killed. It's no longer safe here, please get on the horse, and protect the lord from the fight. ”

"Withdraw...... Yes, retreat! ”

Of course, Cao Cao knew in his heart that after Liu Chuang used this kind of big killing weapon, Cao Jun would inevitably be panicked, and it was impossible to continue to resist.

The explosions came and went, and the screams echoed over the Cao army's camp.

Outside Cao's military camp, Xu Chu, Pang De, Tai Shixiang and others were also dumbfounded.

To be honest, when Liu Chuang took out this new weapon, they still didn't quite understand.

They didn't understand why Liu Chuang would swear like that to defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop...... That's Cao Cao, an expert in stealing camps and robbing villages. How could he not take precautions, even if he stole the camp and robbed the village, it would be impossible for him to succeed in a battle. Who would have thought that Liu Chuang and the new weapons would be so powerful. Xu Chu saw with his own eyes that after a row of crossbow guns was fired, Cao Junyuanmen collapsed with a bang......
