Sun Ce saw Sun Quan and Qiao Wei coming together, and after his eyes touched Qiao Wei, he quickly moved away.

Qiao Wei sneered, who do you look down on, can't you even learn to look at people squarely? What a pride, hum.

Of course, the face is still very respectful.

Sun Quan took the letters from Li Shu and Yuan Langlang from Qiao Wei's hands and respectfully handed them to Sun Ce.

Li Shu's letter was attached to the second letter written by Yan Xiang, saying that he was too old to be qualified for the post of Yangzhou Assassin, and wanted to recommend Li Shu as the next Yangzhou Assassin, and the lord Cao Cao had agreed, and the Han Emperor had also allowed to invite Li Shu to Yangzhou Mansion to receive the seal.

Yan Xiang tried to win over Li Shu three times and twice, once Li Shu rebelled, it could be regarded as cutting off the link between Sun Ce and Wu Jun, and the Jiangdong army could not continue to go west if there was no food and grass, this intention was vicious, Sun Ce was really furious, and scolded him, "Old thief!" ”

probably felt that the next words were really ugly, and after his eyes touched Qiao Wei, he swallowed it hard.

Sun Quan advised, "Brother don't worry, if Yan Xiang really had soldiers and horses, he would have raised troops to attack Lujiang and Anhui City, and now he only uses letters to divide the world, which shows that Yan Xiang knows that he is unable to go south and annex Lujiang, but he is not afraid."

On the contrary, Yan Xiang was stationed in the north of the Lujiang River, taking on the name of a Yangzhou assassin in the history of the army, and always monitoring the movements of our Jiangdong army, which was really a constraint, like a bone piercing into the flesh, and it was difficult to be at peace all the time.

It is better to make Li Shu pretend to agree and intercept Yan Xiang halfway, so as to avoid another incident in Lujiang. ”

The rear is restless, and Jiangdong's intention to march into Jingzhou will be difficult to realize.

Sun Ce turned his back and stared at the map of the Great Han Dynasty, his eyes pointing directly to the north of the Lujiang River.

Take the whole of Yangzhou, whether it is north or south, and then have the capital to compete with the Cao family.

But he still asked Zhou Yu's opinion very cautiously, "What does Gong Jin think?" ”

Zhou Yu very much agreed with this, "The battle between Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu has long been inevitable. Occupy Yangzhou Shouchun, advance, can wait for the opportunity to attack Xudu, retreat, negotiate with Cao Mengde, and defend the entire Yangzhou and stand on its own. ”

Sun Ce had this idea for a long time, but he was worried that Xiakou had not yet been captured, and it would be difficult to support it if he rashly went north, since what Sun Quan and Zhou Yu said was in line with him, there was nothing to worry about.

He laughed and said to Sun Quan, "In that case, then the matter of going north to attack Yan Xiang will be handed over to Li Shu, and he will be strictly ordered to act carefully and not make mistakes." ”

"Yes."

Sun Quan sent Youye back to Anhui City, and very unceremoniously applied for Li Shu, and his words were so sharp that he scolded Li Shu in a cold sweat.

When writing the draft of the application, Sun Quan also specially handed it over to Qiao Wei for review.

Qiao Wei took a look at it, "Greedy for military rations, the rebellion of people's hearts is so far, why do you see the people of the state and county with face, and the corpse is vegetarian, you can only say that you are the eleventh sinister." ”

That's it? That's it? Qiao Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Sun Quan in disbelief, "Your little kung fu is also the same as what you said when you dreamed of eleven." ”

Sun Quan was also surprised, was he so vicious in scolding?

He had always prided himself on being a man of gentleness, and although it had always been customary for the two armies to fight in battle, he had always felt that the language was vulgar and very inconsistent with his identity.

How can such a good person speak evil words and humiliate others like this!

But this sentence is already the result of his fusion of a lot of scolding and customary example sentences, and he was pointed out by Qiao Wei like this.

He was determined not to believe that he was the kind of person who spoke obscenely, slandered, absolutely slandered.

Qiao Wei thought about it, when he watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", what did Wuxiang Marquis say when he scolded Wang Lang to death......

"Within the state and county, the rotten wood is the official, and the government is in the government, and the birds and beasts eat the Lu; The wolf-hearted dog is in charge, and the servile and knee-laden are uncertain. As a result, the community is not prosperous, and the common people are in misery. Your deeds are no different from villains, and your sins are so great that heaven and earth will not tolerate them. The people of the world hate to eat your flesh and thirst for your blood. Since he is a humble person, he dares to occupy the position of Taishou, retreats quickly, hides his head, tries to eat well, and returns to the treacherous lord in the north, and is unbearable for the people of Jiangdong. ”

Of course, this is Qiao Wei's version after it has been changed, and Sun Quan is dumbfounded, thinking that he can't easily argue with his wife in the future, so as not to be scolded bloody and hurt his self-esteem.

Qiao Wei deliberately asked Youye to memorize it, and only after confirming that he had memorized it backwards and was full of emotion, he was allowed to leave.

Sure enough, Li Shu was so angry that he packed his bags and went north to join Yan Xiang that night.

Yan Xiang naturally had to come up with a welcome battle for Li Shu's arrival, and took Li Shu north to join Cao Cao, but was directly intercepted and killed by Sun Quan with 500 crossbowmen in the middle of the road.

Sun Quan used the divine crossbow given to him by Qiao Wei for the first time, and the effect directly amazed him.

Qiao Wei saw that his right arm was injured and he couldn't open the bow well, so he borrowed an ordinary crossbow overnight, made some modifications, and even invited craftsmen in the army to create some parts that he couldn't understand.

After the assembly of the repeater, it can be filled with fifteen smaller bolts in turn, and only after the first winding, by pulling the wrench, the bolts can be fired continuously.

This kind of repeating crossbow is completely able to pick up and shoot the target accurately even if Sun Quan's right hand is injured and he can only use his left hand.

Lian Zhouyu expressed his amazement at the lethality of this repeating crossbow, and went to Qiao Wei for advice as soon as he returned to the camp.

Qiao Wei withdrew the lite version of the repeater, and once again sighed that his craft could finally play a role in ancient times.

"This repeater is still very rough, it's just a simple pretending to be in a hurry, if the middle guard wants it, I can make a more elaborate one for you to try."

Zhou Yu was surprised, "Can there be anything more exquisite?" ”

Qiao Wei nodded, "As long as the craftsmen in the army can make the parts I need." ”

This crossbow is twice as heavy as the crossbow commonly used in the army today, and the ability to fire fifteen crossbows in a row without having to wind them has greatly improved the efficiency of combat.

A crossbow needs to be wound with one arrow, and the force used is greater than that of a bow and arrow, so as to ensure that the crossbow arrow can be shot at a longer distance.

Imagine that at the same time, the opponent needs to rewind every crossbow arrow fired, and the crossbow team of the Jiangdong Army has fired fifteen arrows in a row and shot more than ten people, then the winning rate of the battle will be greatly improved.

The mortality rate of one person against fifteen people, what a terrifying increase in combat power this should be.

Zhou Yu has almost seen the future of the Jiangdong Army being able to dominate Jiangnan with bows and crossbows.

In fact, in ancient warfare, long-range crossbowmen shooting at each other was the most common way of fighting, so the mortality rate of crossbowmen was often the highest among the troops.

In the case that the combat strength of the two sides is equal and the level of sophistication of bow and arrow equipment is not much different, it often depends on the change of tactics and battle formations and restraint.

Just like Liu Biao supported Huang Zu with 5,000 spearmen, it was to restrain Sun Ce's elite heavy cavalry.

But if this kind of repeating crossbow in Qiao Wei's hand can be used on the battlefield, Zhou Yu can say that the Jiangdong Army's bow and crossbow team will become an invincible existence in battle.

A single team of crossbows can sweep across the battlefield.

Zhou Yu and Sun Quan were still in shock at the repeater, but they heard a report from Youxuan, "General, Zhonghu Army, Marquis Wu has an invitation." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Gan Ning, Gan Xingba is here."
