"Is it feasible to use trebuchets?"

When Fang Rui heard Li Ru's question, he immediately thought of the trebuchets that were attacking the city, and said: "Through the trebuchet, blow up the trebuchet from a distance. If the medicine is thrown into the enemy and explodes, the effect should be good. ”

Li Ru's eyes lit up, and he quickly frowned again and said, "The trebuchet proposed by General Fang is good, but the trebuchet is too large and cumbersome, so it is only suitable for temporary manufacturing when attacking the city." Rushing with a march will slow down the march, and if it is not a siege war, it will be improvised and time-consuming, and it may be before we can build it, and the enemy will come over. ”

This scheme is feasible in the direction, but it will still have flaws in practical application.

"Then make a trebuchet that can be thrown far away, but it is easy to carry and is no longer bulky."

Yang Zhao thought of the thunderbolt.

This thing was made during the battle of Cao Caoguandu, in order to fight Yuan Shao, I don't know where it came from, this is a relatively portable, long-range weapon with a relatively long attack distance.

Because the sound is like thunder, it is called the thunderbolt car.

Yang Zhao said again: "Gather all the craftsmen." ”

What does the thunderbolt look like, Yang Zhao has only seen it in some war games, and the same as the previous three-bow bed crossbow, the specific cognition comes from the game.

The current Cao Cao has not yet made a thunderbolt, so he cut it off.

Three-bow bed crossbows, craftsmen can work out, and thunderbolts should not be a problem.

He gave a general idea of what it looked like, and how it worked, and promised that if the craftsmen could make it, they would each be rewarded with a piece of gold cake.

Driven by the ability of banknotes, the craftsmen immediately went to study how to make them.

"Lord, this thing is really feasible?"

Li Ru asked curiously.

Yang Zhao said: "As long as it is made, it will definitely be feasible, Wen You will give Wen He a part of the task of conscription, and continue to be responsible for the matter of weapons." ”

"Okay!"

Li Ru agreed.

Now that the weapons are available, the troops are missing.

Qingzhou has 80,000 main forces, but it is not enough to deal with Yuan Shao's coalition army, and it needs to be conscripted.

Of the original population of Qingzhou, another 20,000 or 30,000 people should be recruited.

Among those Taiping Dao believers received, it is not a problem to recruit 70,000 or 80,000 people.

Fighting against Yuan Shao on the battlefield, Yang Zhao was not worried about the frontal battlefield, but worried about someone making trouble in Qingzhou.

For example, Zheng Jia, Kang Wang, Liu and others.

Or the county guards who had to surrender before may also take this opportunity to cause trouble for him.

Yang Zhao has considered all these concerns.

When the soldiers are recruited, everything will be arranged.

Yuan Shao hasn't even finished sending the article, and now there is still time, and Qingzhou is still very stable.

Back home.

Yang Zhao saw the three ladies who were waiting for him, and instantly left all kinds of worries behind.

Time was fast, ten days passed.

The conscription work was carried out more or less in the end, and in the end only more than 150,000 troops were assembled.

Qingzhou soldiers, there are 100,000 people.

Those Taiping Dao believers, Yang Zhao was a little overestimated.

At that time, the main force was in Yanzhou, and they took those from the mountains, most of whom were people who could not go to the battlefield, and in the end only 50,000 people were recruited, and if they put it together, there were only 150,000 troops.

Enough to fight back.

"Lord, I got a copy of the document, which was sent by Yuan Shao."

Shi A brought back a piece of silk cloth, which was full of words, and there were not many people who used those improved papers outside of Qingzhou.

Yang Zhao looked at it briefly, this essay on himself was very good, and he scolded himself, scolding him to nothing, he was not angry after reading it, and asked with a smile: "Who wrote this essay?" Can you check it? ”

Shi Adao: "It seems to be written by Yuan Shao's subordinates, Chen Lin, the chief bookkeeper." ”

Sure enough, it was him!

Before the battle of Guandu, Chen Lin wrote a letter to fight Cao Cao, at that time, Cao Cao, just had a head attack, after reading Chen Lin's article, he broke out in a cold sweat, and his head healed.

That article also scolded Cao Cao, and also scolded a medical miracle.

Shi A said coldly: "That Chen Lin dares to scold the lord, I will arrange someone to assassinate him." ”

"There's no need for that."

Yang Zhao didn't care and said: "This Chen Lin's article is very well written, help me pass it on to Wen and them, let's take a look together." ”

Shi Ayi was stunned and said: "Lord, this ......"

Yang Zhao shook his head and said: "I'm not yet, I will be angry when I am scolded for two sentences, now my mood must be stable, I can't be affected by my emotions, go down!" ”

Shi Ah thought about it deeply, admired the lord's unhurried and impatient state of mind, and after retreating, he really showed the text to others.

"Mingguang!"

At this time, someone walked into the government office.

Mao Jue stayed in Beihai as a guard, and after learning that Yuan Shao was going to call, handle the affairs of Beihai, and cooperate with the conscription, he immediately rushed to Linzi, and asked as soon as he entered the door: "What does Mingguang think?" ”

Yang Zhao smiled and said: "That's it, when I arrived in Beihai, I expected that there would be this day, even if Yuan Shao didn't come to me, I would lead troops to rob his Jizhou in the future." ”

Mao Jue appreciated: "Mingguang's mentality proves that it is not difficult to defeat Yuan Shao, but I didn't expect that the matter of King Hongnong was leaked out in advance. ”

Yang Zhao asked, "Can we make it public?" ”

"It can be made public, and it can also refute Yuan Shao's injustice."

"I see!"

Of course, Yang Zhao knew how to refute.

Find someone to write an article, and then spread it out, with his own righteousness, to rebuke Yuan Shao's injustice.

This kind of thing is not very difficult to operate.

He asked You Heng to write an article, and let this troll spray Yuan Shao, although the effect was not very good, but at the same time, it was made public, and it could be regarded as a statement to the outside world.

——

Meanwhile.

Yanzhou, inside the Governor's Mansion.

Zhang Miao and Yuan Yi are in Cao Cao's mansion.

"Please envoy Cao, lead the Yanzhou soldiers and horses, and attack Yang Zhao."

Yuan Yi is Yuan Shao's cousin, and he is also the Shanyang Taishou of Yanzhou, and his own brother sent a letter to attack Yang Zhao, and he must respond.

When he got Yuan Shao's inscription, Cao Cao hesitated for a while, and was shocked.

He didn't expect that Yang Zhao's methods were so powerful, even the mother and son of Empress Dowager He had been controlled in Linzi, and everyone in the world thought that they had already died in the hands of Dong Zhuo.

"Mingguang's methods are really powerful, and he conceals them very deeply, and everyone in the world has been deceived by him."

Cao Cao thought in his heart, and was silent for a long time before he said, "What does Meng Zhuo think?" ”

Zhang Miao said: "Yang Zhao put the imperial prince under house arrest and controlled the queen mother, similar to Dong Zhuo, I think Yanzhou should send troops, and my Dongping's troops have begun to gather and respond to the alliance." ”

Yuan Yi agreed: "My Shanyang's troops are also gathered, and we can't let Yang Zhao harm the royal family of the Han family!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao sneered in his heart.

Your Yuan clan is so eager to attack Qingzhou, isn't it for Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong? I'm embarrassed to say that I don't want to harm the Han royal family?

Of course, Cao Cao will not say these words directly.

"You also know that I have a good relationship with Mingguang, and our Yanzhou rebellion was quelled by relying on Mingguang's assistance, and troops were dispatched at this time...... Inappropriate! ”

Cao Cao shook his head slightly.

Yuan Yi was dissatisfied, and said loudly: "Originally, in the name of the Yuan family, he called on people with lofty ideals in the world to get rid of the Han thief Yang Zhao, so that you don't respond, do you look down on our Yuan family?" At the beginning, the envoy crusaded against Dong Zhuo's text, and our Yuan clan responded for the first time! ”
