Today's Mi Fang is very uneasy.

He was angrily counting the "ten deadly sins" of this Jiangdong family!

"It's... According to the instructions of the third brother, they handed over a lot of borderless land to me, and also handed over to me the many houses and shops that originally belonged to the Sun family. ”

"I wondered, shouldn't this be... We also give a lot, but if you inquire in private, dare to love... It's all these wealthy gentlemen who are doing trouble, they unite against me, I go east, they are determined to go west, I go west, they go east, the people of Jiangdong dare not oppose them, so they avoid me one by one... Bullying people, they are too much of a bully! ”

This...

When Mi Fang groaned out his complaints, Guan Lin's eyes narrowed slightly.

He thought that these clans in Jiangdong are xenophobic, and they may not cooperate with Mi Fang... Maybe they won't hand over those borderlands and the inheritance of the Sun family.

Guan Lin even thought about how to deal with these.

But... It was surprisingly smooth on these issues, Guan Lin also thought that these big clans were convinced, and they didn't dare to make any small moves, and they didn't think about it... It's embarrassing Mi Fang here.

They have given up the land, but they control the farmers, control the business, and jointly suppress it, and so... It is only then that Mi Fang's business is struggling and difficult to move an inch!

- "Sure enough, these Jiangdong clans that give Sun Ce and Sun Quan a headache... None of them are fuel-efficient lamps! The so-called nature is difficult to move, and it has only been a month, and all the fox's tails have leaked out."

Guan Lin sighed in his heart.

Mi Fang's words continued, "Also, Yunqi... You asked me to implement the apportionment into acres in Jiangdong like Shuzhong and Jingzhou, and re-measure the acres of fields, oops... It's a hornet's nest... These big clans promise to be happy on the surface, but they are behind the surface... There are always subordinates who make things difficult everywhere, not only do not cooperate, but also vigorously stop them! ”

"I also went to ask Gu Yong about them, but these patriarchs have their own merits... Fight sloppily all day long, at most make a show to punish the subordinates, but when measuring the acres of land, it is still the same... As always, there are people who make things difficult again! ”

"If it weren't for Yunqi's thousands of instructions, Jiangdong would have set a new decision... Let the second brother and I try to avoid conflicts, if it weren't for the fact that these people also contributed in the process of conquering Jiangdong, I... I really want to draw a knife... Who dared to stop it, cut it directly ... There is also the establishment of the Commerce Bureau, the development of the navigation industry, so that these big families take the lead in the Commerce Bureau, out of the ship, ocean navigation... Hum... Are they happy to say yes one by one? But in fact, alas, not to say ... Speaking of which, it's angry with me, angry with me..."

Not...

- "Spread into the acres, the Department of Commerce, the Great Voyage..."

When Mi Fang put forward these words.

Guan Lin couldn't help but repeat in his heart, if the previous competition for acres and commercial competition were just trivial matters...

Now, the implementation of the paving into the acre, the establishment of the Commerce Bureau and the control of the entire business, the development of the era of the Great Voyage, these... It's all about Jiangdong, and even about the development of Shuhan... It's a big deal.

Actually, at the end of the day...

It's still one, how to make these clans in Jiangdong use for me, instead of blocking him everywhere.

In fact, even in the process of the Jingzhou army entering Jiangdong, these big clans have been weakened to varying degrees, but they have been entrenched in this land for many years, and they are still an existence that cannot be ignored in terms of financial resources, manpower, and resources.

Back then, Sun Ce wanted to suppress and slaughter the major clans in a domineering way, and finally became the target of the public, and the ending was not good;

Sun Quan used the combination of checks and balances and Huairou to appease and stabilize the major clans, but in the end, he was also victimized by it, and he couldn't help himself...

Based on this, Guan Lin's attitude towards these clans determines the stability and development of Jiangdong to a certain extent.

This is a "not easy" problem!

"Yunqi, you say... How? Otherwise... Let's kill a few, punish a few clans, and make an example of chickens and monkeys... In this way, it can be regarded as knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, I don't believe that those Jiangdong clans can still disobey the yang and the yin! ”

Mi Fang's voice raised again, and he proposed a violent method.

It's just that...

Guan Lin pointed out the drawbacks of his method to the point: "In the past, when Sun Bofu killed Xu Gong, he would not have thought that he would be stabbed by Xu Gong's three disciples while hunting in Dantu Mountain. The next person to be assassinated in Dantu Mountain will be you and me! ”

"That's... So why don't we do anything, be a turtle with a shrunken head? Mi Fang stared at her eyebrows and opened her mouth angrily. But I can't swallow this breath! ”

"Shrinking head turtle..."Guan Lin grinned at the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, "We can't be shrinking turtles, so let's... Second brother, I know about this matter, and let me deal with it... Within a month, I will keep these Jiangdong clans and be convinced! ”

Belch...

The firmness of Guan Lin's tone made Mi Fang stunned, he felt... One month... Such a big family, such a thing, the third brother is afraid that this is nonsense, right?

I was about to ask for details, but on second thought, it seemed that there was no need to ask...

What did the third brother say? Do you need to ask?

He made waiting... That's it!

Guan Lin saw that Mi Fang stopped talking, so he immediately changed the topic and chatted, "Second brother, say something happy, I heard that the second brother just accepted a woman from Jiangdong as a concubine... Haven't you said hello to your second brother yet? ”

"What's the joy of this?" Mi Fang waved her hand: "The two people in Jiangdong who are the most beautiful in the city, aren't they still working as house-filling maids in your room?" After all, it's still the third brother, you're amazing..."

As we were talking here, outside the main hall, there was a subtle crunching sound of "creaking", and after a while, I heard Shiwu ask sharply, "Who is coming?" ”

"I... I am the messenger of Xuchang City, enshrined... On the orders of the second general and the general Shiren, he hurried seven hundred miles to hurry, which was related to Xuchang City... Xuchang City is in a hurry, and you need to see Yunqi Gongzi immediately. ”

The voice of the messenger has not yet fallen.

Guan Lin's expression condensed, after entering this Jiangdong, he finally saw his second brother Mi Fang once, and he wanted to chat with him and talk about the unique charm of this Jiangdong water town woman.

Let's talk about how he should deal with this relationship with Sun Luyu... In Guan Lin's view, Mi Fang is a person from the past, and most of them will have unique opinions on women.

But who knows... Daddy's side, but sent 100,000 urgent letterheads.

Having said that, listening to the messenger's hurried and stumbling tone, it is expected that he has not stopped all the way, seven hundred miles faster... It must be something big happening in Xuchang City!

Immediately, Guan Lin said loudly: "Let him in." ”

After a while, the messenger hurried in, his face was solemn, he bowed to the ground without hesitation, and raised an urgent letter with both hands, "Fourth son, Xuchang City is in a hurry..."

Guan Lin took the urgent item and quickly unfolded it, and couldn't wait to ask, "What happened?" ”

The messenger's face was as earthy as earth: "Just two days ago, in the middle of the night, the anti-Wei launched a flying ball to raid Xuchang City, and the entire eastern city of Xuchang City was shrouded in a fire, whether it was the city wall, or the houses... All of them were burned to ruins by the fire! ”

What?

Reverse Wei? Flying balls? Blaze? Ruin?

When these keywords are distilled...

This time, not only Guan Lin, but even Mi Fang and Guan Yinping became nervous.

The two asked at the same time, and Mi Fang asked: "How is General Shiren?" ”

Guan Yinping asked with concern: "How is my father?" ”

The messenger's words continued, "Fortunately... In accordance with the orders of the Yunqi Gongzi, General Shiren conducted seven air defense exercises in the whole city in ten days... At the time of the enemy's attack, most of the soldiers and civilians, including the second general and General Shiren, took refuge in the dugout, and there were not many casualties in the city..."

"But the people on the outskirts of the city did not have time to evacuate and thousands were burned to death... Now, the entire Xuchang City is panicked, and General Shiren originally intended to counter it... launched an air raid and burned Luoyang City, but was stopped by Mr. Xu and the second general... Now, all the generals in Xuchang City have no idea, so the little seven hundred miles hurry up to ask the prince of Yunqi! ”

This...

Guan Lin's expression was also slightly moved, this news... It is reasonable, but it is unexpected.

It's not that he was worried about the burning of Xuchang City and the death of thousands of people outside the city, in fact, in this sudden situation, it was a blessing in misfortune to be able to save most of the soldiers and civilians.

And what makes Guan Lin most jealous is... Cao Wei Ma Jun imitated the flying ball so fast, and Cao Wei mass produced it so fast!

This is also the point that Guan Lin has been most worried about in the past two years.

In fact... In addition to flying balls, in addition to the eight-bull crossbow, in addition to the repeating crossbow ...

Guan Lin still has a lot of manufacturing drawings, and some have even made a large number of them, such as "iron stirrups", "wooden saddles", "horseshoes"...

This so-called "three horses" can be called a crossing artifact, right?

But Guan Lin only took out a pair of iron stirrups to Huang Zhong when Huang Zhong went to rescue his father Guan Yu to help him stabilize the fulcrum in the process of riding and shooting.

The reason for this is that Guan Lin is worried about Cao Wei's terrifying imitation ability.

In his previous life, Guan Lin had seen a lot of crossings, and many of the protagonists who had traveled through ancient times showed off the "three horses" artifact as soon as they came up.

As everyone knows, the ancients were not fools, they only needed a battle... It is enough for all parties to realize the existence of this "artifact", and then quickly promote and imitate it.

Once so, there is no doubt ... The party with a deeper background will benefit greatly!

Another example is the Qin crossbow that helped Qin Shi Huang unify Liuhe... Originally, it was not made by the Qin State, it was invented by the Koreans!

Alas...

Thinking of this, Guan Lin was left with only a deep sigh, and the most worrying thing still happened.

Balloon... Ma Jun successfully imitated the hot air balloon, which Guan Lin knew in advance from Li Li's side, and that's it...

Cao Wei's rapid mass production, this speed was overwhelming, and Guan Lin felt terrifying.

"Mother-in-law..."

Seeing that Guan Lin was still groaning, Mi Fang roared first: "Yunqi has such a big killing weapon in his hand, but because he avoided slaughtering the people, he didn't go to burn his Luoyang City, but this Cao Cao imitated it and set fire to Xuchang as soon as possible, which is unbearable... This Cao Cao is as hateful as those bullshit Jiangdong clans... No, it's this Cao Cao who is even more hateful than these bullshit clans! ”

Despite the complaints...

But Cao Wei already has a "flying ball army", which is an indisputable fact.

Guan Yinping proposed: "Fourth brother... Since you invented this flying ball, you know its weaknesses, and you invent something again... Knock it down? So... The flying ball against Wei is not enough to worry about, and it can no longer be a threat. ”

Belch...

Guan Yinping's words made Guan Lin dumbfounded, and he suddenly didn't know how to explain.

Looking at the third sister's clear and stupid eyes, he sighed "sigh", "It's not that I didn't draw an ordnance design that can shoot down flying balls, it's just... This drawing involves something completely new, such as firearms... At least for now, there is no breakthrough between Lao Huang and Mr. Liu Ye..."

Oh, yes...

This is a flying ball, it moves, it is in the sky, there are no "anti-aircraft missiles" in this era ...

Which is so easy to knock down.

Admittedly, perhaps... The arrows fired from the Eight Bull Crossbow were enough to pierce the balloon's sphere.

But... Shoot into the sky, taking into account gravity and resistance, taking into account the weight of the arrows of the Eight Ox Crossbow...

How much "work" do you have to do to shoot a low-flying flying ball?

Not to mention, the shooting of crossbow arrows... When will you shoot a flying ball in the sky?

So, it can only be firearms ...

It may not necessarily be the muskets, hand cannons, bird guns, and artillery of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, but at least the "gunpowder whip arrows" that appeared in the Song Dynasty...

The so-called "gunpowder whip arrow"... It is a new green bamboo with a length of one zhang, a diameter of half an inch, and strong elasticity, and a six-foot silk rope tied at the tip as a launching rod.

In addition, a hard and thin bamboo with a length of about six feet is used as a whip arrow.

The middle of the arrow shaft is equipped with a bamboo stick, and a five-tael gunpowder ball is run through the arrowhead.

When firing, hook the bamboo stick with a silk rope, one person holds the rod, one person digs the front end, ignites the gunpowder ball, pulls the arrow backward to bend the rod back, and then suddenly lets go, and uses the rebound force of the bamboo pole to bounce the whip arrow to the target.

Of course, this is to the ground ... If it's against the air, it can be slightly improved, just send it out with a bracket, and still use the rebound...

It is enough to shoot into a low-flying hot air balloon, and then use the explosion of gunpowder in the air to destroy the balloon's sphere, causing the entire flying ball army to lose control in an instant.

And the hardest of these is firearms...

In the Hereafter... Even the traditional festivals "New Year's and Chinese New Year's Eve" are not allowed to set off fireworks.

So... Guan Lin's understanding of firearms is only half-understood, and the manufacturing drawings for Huang Chengyan and Liu Ye are at most semi-finished products, which requires a lot of bold attempts.

At least... In a recent letter sent by the Jiangling City Shuishui Villa, Huang Chengyan and Liu Ye made it clear that it was very difficult and there was no breakthrough!

Guan Lin was still in reverie here, Mi Fang and Guan Yinping saw that Guan Lin had never said a word, Mi Fang was a little impatient, and he was in a hurry, so he couldn't help but open his mouth: "According to me, then Cao Cao is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust, he has released flying balls to slaughter the people?" What kind of morality do we still pay attention to, third brother, according to me, you waved your big hand and directly let your father and our eldest brother lead the flying ball soldiers to the battle, and burned all Luoyang City with a fire..."

"Don't..."Hearing the burning of Luoyang, Guan Yinping hurriedly interrupted, "The Son of Heaven is still in Luoyang... Most of the people who Cao Cao migrated from the border were also in Luoyang, and if they burned... That would..."

"This can't be, that can't..."Without waiting for Guan Yinping to finish speaking, Mi Fang's expression became even more worried, "Then if Cao Cao always takes the people with him?" Are we going to have to do it all the time? Grandma's... I can't save my life, the city is going to be lost, where do I care about getting so much? According to me, the Son of Heaven and the people... If it is burned, it will be burned, and when the time comes, let our lord be the son of heaven, let your father be the general of the world's soldiers and horses, and I will be the third prince with Yunqi, and this big man will be recovered! What's going on... Who has left this world? Can't you get over it? ”

This...

Mi Fang's words made Guan Yinping dumbfounded, and she had a sense of powerlessness that she couldn't explain when she met Bing.

That's when it happened.

Guan Lin opened his mouth, "It's imperative, we need time..."

"When?" Guan Yinping and Mi Fang spoke in unison.

"It's just what I mentioned, it's not like we don't have a way to crack this flying ball..."Guan Lin said quite solemnly: "It's just... We hadn't thought about this before, and the center of gravity of the Shui Shui Villa was not here, so we need time now, and we need to break through some ways and means... Shoot down the ball! ”

Speaking of this, Guan Lin's tone became even more solemn, "This flying ball is not invincible, it is an artifact, and it will also have weaknesses!" Now that it has happened, let's face him and delay it in some way until we get to the end of this problem..."

"Third brother? So how are you going to take it off? ”

"I naturally have a way!" Guan Lin squinted... At this time, he thought of four people, but in fact, these four people had to do two things.

On one side are Lingju and Li Liang of Luoyang City, whether they can delay the time, they are very important.

On the other side are Huang Chengyan and Liu Ye... Time is running out!

That's when it happened...

Not...

Guan Lin suddenly thought of something, yes... How did he forget someone, perhaps... Based on the drawings of the semi-finished product provided by Guan Lin, no, not perhaps, based on the drawings ... She must be able to figure out the so-called "firearms" before Huang Chengyan and Liu Ye...

Manufacture the nemesis of the "hot air balloon", "Gunpowder Whip Arrow"!

Yes, if it's her, it will!

…

…

Chengdu, General Zuo's Mansion.

The improvement of Fazheng's condition made everyone up and down in Shuzhong feel refreshed.

Of course, some people are happy and some are worried!

But none of this matters, the important thing is... Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had already begun to discuss the possibility of taking "Hanzhong".

"There's a little... Although it is a small detail, it is something that the minister cares about. ”

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly and groaned softly.

Liu Bei stretched out his hand and signaled: "Kong Ming, but it doesn't hurt to say..."

"It's the God of War!" Zhuge Liang's voice was not loud, but every word was deliberately paused, as if he was emphatically emphasizing, "Previously, whether it was the Sanba War or the First World War, Yide was strategizing under the instructions of the "God of War" compiled by Yunqi, and the battle was decided... But only, in this follow-up story of "God of War", as far as I know... It does not mention how to take Hanzhong, but only teaches the three generals how to carry out agriculture and develop production in the Sanba area... Although Liang has never believed in strange forces and chaos, whether it is the three generals or the previous performance of "God of War", it is too dazzling... I'm worried..."

Zhuge Liang didn't finish his words, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.

After Liu Bei heard this, he groaned deeply, and then shook his head heavily..."Maybe this is not that Yunqi predicts that the battle of Hanzhong is unfavorable, but to guide us, don't use Yide as a commander... Go and fight this battle of Hanzhong..."

"I think so too..."Zhuge Liang bowed his head, "Then among the generals who asked Yingying, there were only General Huang Zhong, General Zhao Zilong, General Wei Yan, and General Liu Feng... I don't know if the lord noticed it, it seems that the original officials in Shuzhong were quite supportive of General Liu Feng... In the selection of the commander, General Liu Feng's momentum is quite huge! ”

"Kong Ming, in fact, recently... Not only is Feng'er quite active, Adou... It's also very active.,It's just... Between the two of them, among the courtiers, one is the sky and the other is the earth, how great Feng'er's momentum is, how bad Adou's reputation is... If it weren't for Kong Ming, you repeatedly persuaded me to wait and see, I'm afraid I would have to go and see what is going on, and punish Adou, a rebel, heavily! ”

Liu Bei's voice was a little helpless, and his tone was full of hatred for iron and steel.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly comforted: "But Ah Dou slaughtered the bull also to make that invulnerable soft armor..."

"He doesn't just slaughter cows!" Liu Bei opened his mouth weakly: "Five thousand peasant households were forcibly requisitioned by him as tenant farmers, and they were forcibly occupied by Adou, which is contrary to the spread of the acres we have promoted..."

"Don't worry, my lord, you might as well wait and see..."Zhuge Liang persuaded as always, "Didn't Guan Yunqi in Jingzhou in the past also be called a rebel by Yun Chang many times?" But now... In the capture of Jiangdong, how could the former rebel not make great achievements? ”

"Alas... I hope so..."Liu Bei still sighed, "Adou is the one who can catch up with Yunqi, and it is not in vain for you and my hard work!" ”

That's when ...

The sound of slight footsteps sounded outside the door of General Zuo's study.

"Who is it?"

Liu Bei asked...

Zhao Yun, the chief butler of General Zuo's Mansion outside the door, hurriedly replied: "It was sent by Mrs. Huang in the General's Mansion... said that he was sending medicine, and he had to watch Zhuge Junshi take the medicine on time! ”

"Medicine?"

Liu Bei was a little surprised.

When it comes to medicine, he subconsciously thinks of illness, but during this time, he hasn't heard that Zhuge Liang is sick?

He hurriedly asked with concern: "Kong Ming... Filial piety is a lesson from the past, if you have anything, you must tell me... Don't be too tired, the big man can't live without you, and I can't do without you..."

"Lord..."Zhuge Liang heard what Liu Bei meant, and quickly explained: "I don't have any symptoms, it's just..."

Zhuge Liang knows... This medicine is to nourish the liver and kidneys, to cure yin deficiency, and to "get children"!

Huang Yueying told him about this in advance...

In the past few days, Zhuge Liang has also taken medicine on time and has never stopped.

But suddenly, such a secret topic came to his lips, Zhuge Liang suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and he quickly changed his words: "It's just that Madame saw that I was tired, and asked the female disciple of Zhongjing Divine Doctor from Jingzhou to prescribe some soothing medicine for me, and Madame was also persistent, and sent a henchman to send me on time every day, and personally supervised me to take it... I never thought that this time I would send someone to General Zuo's mansion. ”

Liu Bei let out a long exhale, feeling a sense of relief.

"Since it's calming the nerves, then let the maid bring it up, Kong Ming has indeed worked too hard during this time..."

Mention here... Liu Bei suddenly thought of something. "Kong Ming, I've heard recently that Madame Huang seems to be making a dangerous artifact? But that's the case..."

"What do you mean?" What Madame has been doing recently, Zhuge Liang has no idea at all.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, "I also heard what my subordinates said, the day before yesterday, the backyard of your general's mansion suddenly caught fire, and yesterday... Still in the palace of your military division, there is a building that suddenly collapsed after a loud noise... According to people nearby, the sound was like thunder... It almost stuns your ears! ”

This...

Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang often has to go back to the mansion, but this is a fire, a loud noise, and a collapse, he... He didn't know it.

At this time, the maid outside the door had already sent the Liuwei Dihuang Pill and the newly boiled "Jade Screen Oral Liquid", and handed them to Zhuge Liang's ear very skillfully.

Zhuge Liang looked at the dark pill, the dark elixir, and then thought of Liu Bei's words...

I can't help but sigh in my heart.

- "It seems that Madame has been quite tired during this time..."

- "It's just, the loud noise? Fire? Collapsed? What is it?'
