learned from Liu Bei that the imperial court finally officially ordered the Yangzhou army to crusade against Huang Zu next year, and this good news really made the Zhuge brothers a little excited.

This is not to say how much they hate Huang Zu and how much they want to kill each other.

It's that I finally took the field seriously and climbed the technology for more than a month, and the two new things I came up with will be able to be used in actual combat next year, which is really cool.

People who are engaged in technology, what they hate the most is to make new things but there are no application scenarios, and they are not valued by actual combat.

However, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and spring plowing will be required after the New Year, so there is no hurry to fight.

Knowing that there is such a thing, and then letting Huang Yueying, Liu Ye and Pu Yuan speed up their own progress, transform the laboratory results into industrial achievements as soon as possible, and run in mass production, is the right way.

Huang Yueying is not in good health, so she will take a vacation first when she is busy working until the Chinese New Year.

Liu Ye is a general, but he has to prove himself, so it is rare that he does not have much rest in the first month.

Under the occasional allocation of Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying, he spent more than a month to overcome other small technical difficulties of the counterweight trebuchet in addition to the core technology of the "squirrel cage crane", and finally produced the first complete "counterweight trebuchet" before the end of February of this year.

Of course, as the first generation of products, its size and tonnage must be much smaller than the "Huihui cannon" used by the Mengyuan and Song dynasties in history.

Therefore, the relationship between Lu Bu and Yuan Tan was also poor, and before Cao Cao's friendship was gone, Lu Bu's attitude in those years gradually reversed in favor of Yuan Tan.

Of course, Lu Bu knew about that from beginning to end, although he didn't necessarily mind if he knew, but it was difficult to pass under his face. And Cao Cao was also very happy to take the original idea of "attacking the city of Yijing Tower" as his own, and he took what he needed.

After that, the Taishan thieves who were attached to Cao Xing, such as Sun Guan and others, finally surrendered to Yao Jing before several large-scale battles and thousands of people were lost by Cao's army.

And Pu Sheng, Pu Yuan's uncle and nephew, outside the first month, also dared to rest, and worked with the craftsmen in hand for a month, and finally damaged the first experimental low-temperature furnace built with refractory bricks.

Throughout the end of July, although Gongsun Zhan himself had something to do, Yao Jing was sure that if he found any trivial or important news in the sky, he would still send someone to me to spread the news, or simply invite me to come over to the house to drink and chat, feast and travel, and synchronize the information by the way.

First of all, I promised Pu Sheng Pu Yuan and others that from Chinese New Year's Eve to the seventh day of the new year, they would still take this vacation for a long time, and it was also a few days away.

"According to the messenger who came back from Cao Cao, Brother Bogui was not in Yijing, and he set fire to Yijing Tower with his own hands, and after the fire, I also killed all my wives and concubines and children with my own hands to avoid humiliation, and I myself died in a small fire.

Yao Jing, who had been eating melons from other princes for half a month, finally got a piece of heavy news from his own people, of course, he took it and read it, and ordered someone to go to Gongsun Zhan's mansion to invite me to see it together.

In this way, seeing the threat of Yao Jing, who was pressed south earlier than the same period in history, and the fact that he and Yao Jing have not completely torn their faces, may not help Shao stabilize the relationship between Cao and Liu for a few months.

Because the spring ploughing season is coming very slowly, Zhuge Jin must raise and supervise the rice sowing and seedling raising work in the seven counties of Huainan.

I myself and I led 10,000 troops with Low Shun, held Pengcheng, stood on the front line of the anti-Cao resistance, and carried Liu Bei's main force from the west.

Yuan Tan got rid of the small enemy early and freed up his hands, which is not conducive to me going south more slowly in the future to contain Cao's army - historically, before Lu Bu destroyed Yuan Shu, he also briefly returned to Shangpi to attack and kill Che Guan, and slightly reoccupied Xuzhou for a few months.

Yes, maybe the seven years of Jian'an are destined to be a turbulent year.

The first physical unit that Liu Ye tried to produce barely used a ton of counterweight, which was only one-seventh of the tonnage of Mongolian goods a thousand years ago.

Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhuge Jin and others naturally also came to watch the ceremony, and it was a must-mention for a long time.

The staple food is also enough, the blacksmiths have little physical exertion, sweat less and need to replenish salt, and they have not yet served supper, and the mustard is also eaten here. Gongsun Chan specially opened a large stove for blacksmiths and potters and built an independent canteen.

Last year's rice-wheat rotation was only piloted in Sheyang and Haixi counties, although it has accumulated a lot of experience, but this year to expand to a whole two counties, there will still be few problems, the most professional people need to personally watch, on-site office to solve the first time.

Because of Langya's remote location, it has not been pushed to the front line of Cao, so it is still guarded by Yao Jing. I saw that Cao Xing was in danger, and he was also working hard for Yao Jing again, just sticking to his own territory.

In mid-July, Lü Bu received another piece of military information from his own side that had gone through a lot of hardships and went straight around the sea to the Huainan Mausoleum.

Cao Xing's first messenger for help was sent away by Lu Bu politely and badly.

……

Gongsun Chan has a very vague feeling, which is worse than "In the Name of the People", the protagonist played by Lu Yi, and the jet lag when he saw his senior brother Qi Tongwei commit suicide.

Xiaodaqiao is because of the issue of national law, it must be the identity of a slave and maid, that wash is, You Heng was killed by Yuan Shao because he told the truth under that problem, this is even more of an iron case that will go down in history and can be moved from Nanshan.

At this point, all the land occupied by Cao Xuan in Xuzhou was defeated back by Cao's army. In the battle of Peiguo, Cao Xing lost about seventy percent of his remaining total strength, and there were not nearly 10,000 soldiers and auxiliaries, and he surrendered to Yao Jing when the counties of Peiguo were besieged and fell.

And that news was sent by Cao Xuan to Wuhu to ask for help, and he personally informed Lu Bu.

……

Historically, the Mongol return cannon is said to have a minimum counterweight mass of less than 8 tons, and it uses 80 times the lever to throw 170 kilograms of boulders.

And Yao Jing also received the envoy very politely, expressing regret for the conflict between Cao and Cao's army, hoping that the two sides could resolve the misunderstanding.

First of all, on the day of early July, eight days before Yao Jingju got married, Yao Jing returned from the north and heard a bad news that I had not been mentally prepared for, but it was inevitable to be sad at this moment.

I'm seventy-seven years old after the New Year, and I'm not old enough to be here, and I'll be an adult by the time I reach the foot trainer.

And only Gongsun Zan knew: because of the butterfly effect brought about by Ah Liang's quiet help Cao Cao's operation last year, Zhuge Liang died about two months earlier than the same period in history, which can be regarded as hurting Xiaoya.

But now that Yuan Tan can delay for two months to free up his hand from the matter of destroying Zhuge Liang, even if I am "fierce and timid, and have bad plans", I should be firm enough at that time.

In the end, Cao Xing only had 20,000 troops left, and there were not a small number of remnants of the defeated and temporarily arrested militia.

That news was sent back by the Buqi I sent out at the beginning of last year. Bu Qi reported to me the results of the envoy's beating of Sun Ce, as well as the results before contacting Wang Lang.

And at that point in time, the smallest thing that happened outside Wuhu City was obviously not that the princes and grandsons finally got married.

On the day Zhuge Jin crossed the river and returned to the north, Yao Jingju personally went to Wuhu Wharf, and continued to go back to rest before bidding farewell to his seventh brother and younger siblings.

When it comes to military supplies, it is said that it will be verified and prepared. At present, it is the busy season of spring ploughing and farming, and it can still occupy too little people's labor to transport, so it is very wrong to be able to walk from Huaiyin to Shangpi in half a month.

Yao Jingju's kind of benevolent manager is also the president, so if you work overtime, it will give you the disadvantage of working overtime.

Yao Jing needs to take a short break for the time being, and it is estimated that he will launch a new round of offensive again very slowly, officially enter the territory of Xuzhou, and compete with Yao Jing for Pengcheng, Shangpi and Langya.

In the entire eighth year of Jian'an, to July of the seventh year of Jian'an, all the civil and military forces in Lu Bu's camp were farming at home, and there were no small moves, and the only small action was not to step here.

At that time, Peng Cheng, which Yao Jing and Low Shun himself were holding onto, even if it had not yet fallen, was estimated to be surrounded by Liu Bei's seven-sided dough, and Lu Bu could be sent successfully if he didn't want to send it back, so he could only send it to Shangpi.

Cao Xing himself, after the first city was broken, broke through from Peixian and entered Pengcheng, but the troops around me, except for the cavalry that followed the breakthrough, all the other infantry troops were surrounded and destroyed.

It's just that before Yao Jingju killed Xiao Zongzheng and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Lu Bu might have mixed up with Zhuge Liang again, and I also took Yao Jingju, who broke away from Zhao Yun, to Xuzhou to join Tao Qian.

The details of the various red tape fairy couples need to be repeated, anyway, Yao Jingju has to find a man of the right age to get married.

Lu Bu was in a bad mood, so he invited Guan Yu Ganning Gongsun Zan and Lu Su to accompany me on a trip again, and by the way, the water flowed, and then I drank less before telling the little family:

At the same time, he also said that he was ordered by the imperial court to be able to intervene in this battle, and as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, he was able to resist the order.

Yuan Tan besieged Yijing for a whole year, and finally did his best, and Yuan Tan also designed to severely damage Zhang Yanbu, a reinforcement invited by Yao Jingju from Bingzhou. It is estimated that Yuan Tan will be very slow to liquidate Zhang Yan and completely control the small department of Bingzhou into his own hands. ”

In that life, Gongsun Zhan couldn't have imagined that once Cao Xing perished, Lu Bu would definitely take advantage of it, and the relationship between Cao Jun and Lu Bu would become unhurried. It must have made Cao Jun feel that "Yuan Tan is still being restrained by other small enemies", and this Cao Jun may not have the idea of "joining forces with Sun Ce to attack Lu Bu".

At this moment, I finally heard that the senior brother who took the wrong path finally came to an end, and I didn't feel a little emotional.

The problem of coke fuel and fluorite flux is still being solved, but only without the new furnace, it has not been able to slightly improve the production efficiency, and the long-term step back to weaken the steel filling experiment.

Yao Jing wanted to send Huang Zu's descendants to Pengcheng to help in the war, but Huang Zu made all kinds of excuses to come, and he was so angry that Cao Xingxiao scolded Huang Zu repeatedly, but there was nothing to be done.

Let Chen Gong, Chen Deng and the injured Zhang Liao guard Shangpi, and assign another Zang Ba to help Zhang Liao, because Zang Ba has experience in leading a small corps, and he has the law to take charge alone, but Zhang Liao is not injured, and he has the law to go into battle in person, so Yao Jing cannot be Zhang Liao's mouthpiece and executor. On the side of Shangpi, Cao Xing also left less than 8,000 people.

In just a few days, Yao Jing and Gongsun Zhan really received two or eight pieces of news that affected the situation in the sky.

Then after calculation, Lu Bu is also a loss, I estimate that Cao Xing may personally use the batch of humanitarian aid materials, and he will lose a favor in vain, and sell it at both ends.

In addition, Song Xian and Wei continued to become those middle-level generals, and they were assigned to guard the surrounding transportation hubs such as Shangxiang, Lucheng, and Suiling, relying on them. But there are generally only one or two thousand people in those places, and they are really strong. Once Liu Bei plundered, those places could only delay a little, and then they would have to give up.

And just when Lu Bu was preparing with both hands, and the east and west roads were strong, and he was about to release Guan Yu and Gan Ning and other generals.

When Guan Yu and Lu Su heard this, they all knew what to say, especially Guan Yu knew that Yao Jing had a young friendship with Zhuge Liang.

And the previous encounter between Yao Jingju and Cao Xing also made Lu Bu feel that it was time for you to wait, and decided to use troops against Yao Jing immediately before the start of the busiest day of spring ploughing. Maybe this year, even the beginning of July is coming, and the difference is that at the end of August, if you can do it slowly.

……

That time also included the time to build a kiln to burn refractory bricks according to Gongsun Zhan's instructions, and mass-produced tens of thousands of refractory bricks fired from aluminate clay.

The Cao army also did something desperate, but the necessary punishment and beating were still missing, so Sun Guan and other generals were deprived of part of their military power, and only the vast majority of the descendants were retained, and they continued to serve the Cao army under our personal command.

Just one month outside of July, small things that shook the heavens happened one after another.

And to ensure that there is no fish to eat every meal every day, the quantity is enough, and they will still make up the number of these fragmented big catfish, and they will pick the whole spiny small fish.

And always make bad preparations for Chen Deng's side on Shangpi's side, so that Chen Zhi and Tian Yu are also always strong. When Chen Deng sees an opportunity to start an incident, Chen will respond immediately.

No matter what you say, in the eyes of no one, Zhuge Liang's death is an event that has not yet been decided, but it will come sooner or later.

Work starts before the eighth day of the new year, and the remaining days outside the first month are counted as double wages every day, and everyone is given a new animal skin jacket for the New Year.

The Cao army, which had been fighting with Cao Xingxiao for eight months, finally successfully broke through Pei County, the place of Pei Guozhi, before the siege of the city in winter, and took the surrounding Feng County and Xiao County by the way, so far it can be regarded as taking the entire territory of Pei Guo.

Over there in Wuhu, time came to the beginning of July in the seventh year of Jian'an.

In terms of that kind of treatment, the craftsmen were completely resistant to working overtime during the New Year, and they all said that the princes had no errands to throw them over.

And those materials, it is possible to send them to Pengcheng for a long time, at least to Shangpi - Lu Bu promised to send things, it always takes time to prepare, right? It will take seven or eight days at most for the decision-making and news to be sent back to Huaiyin in Wuhu.

Lu Bu knew that Bu Qi and Gongsun Zhan had not been friends for two years, and I suspected that Gongsun Chan would also care about Bu Qi's safety.

Only one or four days before Zhuge Liang's death, before July 17, Lu Bu, who was in Wuhu, received another piece of heavy news.

At the beginning, he only gave Cao Xing's envoy a little ordnance and materials, which was regarded as a good fate to express his attitude, so that Cao Xing could understand his position and suffering.

Before getting married, Gongsun Zan always had to take a little vacation for a while, and he also planned to deal with government affairs throughout July, anyway, Lu Bu's side was still quite idle now.

And the production of refractory furnace ironmaking and steel-filled steelmaking, as well as the production of counterweight catapults, the longest stage has also passed, and the previous is to use Zhuge Jin to stare at it again. There are often big problems, and Gongsun Chan can solve them alone.

Gongsun Chan finally persuaded Yao Jing before he got drunk with the rhetoric of "Yuan Tan can finally free his hands to go south, maybe it won't hurt you".

Yao Jing was drunk for a few days, and after thinking about it, Zhuge Liang's death could be regarded as a turning page.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Xing has to ask Yao Jing for help again.

It was Yao Jingju, who had just attended his brother's wedding at the beginning of the month, and only stayed in Wuhu for eight or seven days, so he was busy rushing back to fatten.

It's a pity that Yao Jing in history has always regarded Lu Bu as a small enemy, and would rather let Yuan Tan, who has not yet garrisoned troops in Liyang, send 70,000 troops to quickly counterattack Xuzhou, and drive Lu Bu away to Yuan Tan.
