Outrageous!

Lu Bu brought a large number of supplies, and he kept saying that he was going to use the pilgrimage, and he wanted to leave the Son of Heaven in Luoyang together with Zhang Yang.

Wen Ruo had a problem with him, and originally asked him to welcome the Son of Heaven to Xuchang, so that he could serve the Son of Heaven to please him.

He chose the timing very well, and with Dong Zhao as an internal response, he could have taken the Son of Heaven away in September - hateful Lu Bu!

The Son of Heaven wanted to leave Luoyang, originally because there was a shortage of food and clothing here, although there was Zhang Yang's Hanoi County as a support, but because Yang Feng, Han Xian, Dong Cheng, these princes attacked each other, and wanted to choose a safe place.

But as soon as Lu Bu came, the situation changed.

These princes quickly formed an alliance and divided into two factions with Zhang Yang and Lu Bu, hostile to each other, but they were intimidated by the bravery of the state army, and no one dared to act rashly.

This chaotic situation became clear with the arrival of Lü Bu, and the higher emperor became even more important.

The throne of the Son of Heaven is settled, and it will be difficult to take him away from Luoyang.

However, Lu Bu and Zhang Yang are both people who are not familiar with production, and Hanoi County has also suffered from war, although the money, silk, grain and grass brought by Lu Bu have temporarily supplied Luoyang, it is still not easy to be stable for a long time.

The servant brought hot tea and quietly retreated.

"I heard that there is some news from Huainan."

Cao Cao was not surprised by Huainan's news, but nodded while watching Guo Jia pour tea, "How?" ”

"Yuan Shu asked for some high-quality wood and jade from all over the country, and also ordered a lot of Shu brocade from Shuzhong." Guo Jia said.

"Yuan Highway has always been extravagant, and this is nothing."

"It is said that on the Yihai Day of last month, Shouchun City saw Jingxing," Guo Jia said solemnly, "It's very big." ”

Cao Cao's hand holding the tea bowl trembled, and he wanted to hold back his laughter.

"Well, he has it, but we don't see it here," Cao Mengde said, "what else?" Manna falls, celebration gathers? ”

Guo Jia paused, "No, I heard that Yuan Shu also ordered someone to build an altar for sacrifice." ”

Among the princes everywhere, Yuan Shu was the one who was clearly unsubordinate, but hearing the news that he had decided to become emperor still gave people a shocking feeling.

This news did not surprise Cao Cao, but he was still stunned for a moment, watching Guo Jia reach out to peel the yam.

The skin of the yam was cold, and the inside was warm, and it was quickly peeled neatly and clean under Guo Jia's slender and white fingers, and handed it to the lord.

"The timing is just right." The young strategist said.

Lu Hangyu yawned.

The weather was so cold, even if there was a pot of charcoal there, she still wanted to get into the quilt early.

But none of them were going to sleep, so she couldn't sleep either.

Zhuge Liang came from Tancheng and brought with him a newly developed crossbow machine.

The light crossbow that crackled and shot out ten bolts in an instant still didn't work.

The reason is very simple, with the current level of science and technology has not reached the level of "light, fast and accurate", so on this line of thought, Zhuge Liang has studied two branches -

One is a large city defense crossbow, which requires five to seven people to operate together, and can send ten crossbow arrows at a time, considering that everyone is generally throwing when defending the city, relying on density to kill the enemy, even if the crossbow arrows are used, so this kind of city defense weapon basically gives up accuracy, relying on the strength of being able to wear a long card and the projectile distance of the extended version of the siege crossbow arrow;

The other is a light crossbow, with iron as the arrow, the arrow is eight inches long, a crossbow and ten arrows, the biggest problem of the crossbow soldier in ordinary times has two points, one is that the attack distance is not far enough, the other is that it takes time to load, so after the crossbow soldier has opened a round of crossbows, there must be a knife hand and a rattan soldier guard to continue to load, and this kind of crossbow can shoot ten in one breath, saving a lot of loading time, and the problem of attack distance is solved after using iron as the arrow, although it is a light crossbow, the lethality is not much discounted, and the lethality of a stone bow is almost a stone bow to try;

"It's all good," she said happily, "I want them all!" ”

The smile on Tian Yu's face froze for a moment.

The sixteen-year-old boy Zhuge Liang's smile also froze for a moment.

In the end, Lu Bai opened his mouth.

"Sister, these two things cost a lot......

“…… What's the cost? She picked up a light crossbow and gestured up and down, "Is this expensive?" ”

"It's expensive." Zhuge Liang said categorically, "A fight costs 10,000 dollars." ”

She was taken aback.

"I can't shoot as far as my three-stone bow, and I can't shoot as fast as my three-stone bow," she said, "why is it so expensive!" It's time to catch up with a war horse! ”

Zhuge Liang clicked.

"If everyone in the world can shoot a three-stone bow, they won't do this thing anymore."

“…… What are these words," she coughed, "you are Zhuge ...... Mr. Zhuge Xiao! ”

Mr. Xiao obviously didn't understand this logic, "What about Mr. Zhuge Xiao?" ”

…… Okay, Mr. Zhuge is not a complete Zhuge Liang yet, and he can't make her a high-quality and inexpensive American-style weapon.

The large city-defending crossbow is more expensive than this, counting those crossbow arrows, it is almost 50,000 yuan a piece, and the female wall is perforated, and it is placed like a transfer machine, which is higher, faster, and stronger than the transfer machine.

"If you think about this matter, you still have to make up your mind, general." Tian Yu said.

She looked at Tian Yu, who was serious, then at Zhuge Liang, who was "you are too expensive, I am still too expensive, do you want it", and finally looked at Lu Bai.

Although Lu Bai's healthy women's battalion was equipped with weapons, in most cases, it still only undertook some tasks of escorting and transporting heavy loads, and even if the troops were so tight during the battle of Qingzhou, she was unwilling to send the healthy women's battalion to the front line.

Because there is a natural gap between women's force and men's, for the rough cold weapon warfare of the Three Kingdoms period, this gap is even difficult to make up for with any clever tactics.

Therefore, she considered that she wanted to equip Lu Bai's women's battalion with light crossbows, so that they could gain a place in the regular battle.

The rules in the barracks couldn't be simpler, and all tricks and tricks had to make way for the battle. If you can't go to war, you won't have a record. It is impossible for a general without a record to gain the respect of anyone, and it has nothing to do with her gender.

Considering that Qingzhou was very peaceful for the time being, and she didn't need these expensive large-scale city-guarding crossbows, Lu Hangyu thought about it and finally made up her mind.

"Sister." Lu Bai suddenly opened his mouth and called her, "I have an idea. ”

"Huh?"

"My soldiers, why can't you defend the city?" She asked cautiously, "They are very intelligent and hard-working women, can you make them follow the little gentleman and learn how to load those crossbows, how to fire them, and how to repair them if they are damaged?" ”

She looked at Zhuge Liang and then at Tian Yu.

"But Qingzhou has just finished a battle, Kong Beihai School Palace has been newly built, and Guorang is also busy with people's livelihood matters," she hesitated again, "Do you really need to start repairing the city defense immediately?" ”

"If Yuan Shu is really called the emperor, the whole world will discuss it, and the world will punish him," Cao Cao said, "I can play the Son of Heaven and issue an edict to beg the thief." ”

"Duke Ming can not only issue an edict," Guo Jia's thoughts were very smooth in this matter, "especially can call on the clan to beg for thieves, and the name is justified." ”

The clan is full of Han family disciples, Kuang Fu Han family is where their righteous name is, and around Yuan Shu, there are exactly three clans.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Miao of Yangzhou, and Liu Bei of Xuzhou. Among them, the names of the first two Han clan relatives are known all over the world, and the latter one is from a humble background, but he is a weaver and a peddler. Therefore, the "clan" has a special temptation for Liu Bei, and everyone in the world is looking at him to see if he will be a thief and whether he can be a thief.

Moreover, Yuan Shu and Liu Bei originally bordered a large territory, so they could be regarded as neighbors with extremely poor relations and coveting each other's territory.

Liu Biao and Liu Miao can do their best, no matter how much effort Liu Bei must crusade against Yuan Shu, whoever let him be in Xuzhou, if he wants to survive in this land of four wars, he has to keep sending troops! Send troops again!

"The matter of the Son of Heaven, I ordered Wen Ruo to keep an eye on it," Cao Cao had already decided, "When the ice and snow melt, I will send troops to fight against Zhang Xiu." ”

"The princes are all crusading against Yuan Shu at this time, and they have no time to take care of Wancheng," Guo Jia praised, "If Ming Gong wants to take Wancheng, I'm afraid Zhang Xiu can't do anything!" It's just that you have to take care of the ...... to the north."

"I was treated with sincerity," Cao Cao said with great certainty while eating the yam, "Besides, Gongsun Chan is not dead, and Xuzhou has ......."

He suddenly realized Guo Jia's intentions.

Yuan Shao also had a group of people around him to welcome the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven is now in Luoyang, and he can't meet it for the time being, so he can't let Yuan Shao change his mind and run over and drag the Son of Heaven away.

"Last year, Yuan Xiansi must have been terrified," Cao Cao sighed, "When I saw that Lu Lian, she was just a pig-killing leader, who could know that she was a hero today!" ”

Knowing the hero, and expressing friendship in the way of proposing, Yanzhou and Xuzhou could not fight for the time being, and Cao Cao was not ready to start a full-scale war with Liu Bei before the whole of Yuzhou.

But it did not prevent him from seeing Liu Bei go south to start a war with Yuan Shu, and he borrowed Yuan Benchu's hand to bring a little turmoil to Qingzhou.

Guo Jia also seemed to recall the appearance and behavior of the young man, and the two ministers were a little curious and admired when discussing the girl, but this did not prevent them from planning next.

The young scribe, who looked gentle and gentle in the lamplight, had eaten yams, took a sip of the warm tea soup from the tea bowl, and sighed comfortably.

"It's a good time to take this opportunity to try out how heroic she is."

Chapter 215

When Yan took off her shoes and stepped on the steps with her feet wearing only Luo socks, this magnificent and solemn palace faded in her eyes in an instant.

But she didn't dare to show anything, so she could only follow Xiao Huangmen's instructions, step by step, and respectfully go inward.

The rich, slightly spicy smell of peppercorns came from the dimly lit palace, slowly staining her sleeves and hair, and soon the warm aroma was conveyed into her nerves along with the temperature of the charcoal basin deep in the palace, dispelling the last trace of chill for her.

Luoyang is no longer the royal city of the past, and the palace is no longer the prosperous and beautiful court. The cinnabar-coated wooden pillars cracked inch by inch, and the lacquered planks had lost their varnish due to little repairs. Those little yellow men were wearing half-worn clothes, some of them had not even been uniform, and they were still wearing short shirts brought from outside the palace.

But in this palace, the Yan family could still feel the last bit of the residual heat of the Han Dynasty.

The mother-in-law of the queen of the volt, Princess Yang'an, poured her makeup to decorate the queen's aftermath for this daughter, and she even rebuilt the Changqiu Palace with a lot of peppercorns and flowers in accordance with the "pepper room".

And the owner of this palace was sitting upright on the upper seat, smiling at her.

Fu Hou is three or four years older than the sixteen-year-old Son of Heaven, and now she is in her twenties, she has a beautiful face, a pair of eyes that are quiet and attentive, and when she looks at others, she is both humble and does not forget her identity.

She was wearing a blue and white brocade burqa, and when she saw Yan saluting her, she motioned to the palace maid on the side to help her up, and prepared a mat for her to sit down.

"How is everything in the Wenhou Mansion?"

Yan immediately bowed and replied respectfully.

"How can I be the queen's concern, everything is fine."

"The Han family is declining, and people have different hearts," Fu Hou sighed, "Only Wen Hou can be a thousand miles away from the king, and he will not lose his loyalty." ”

"The ancestor eats Hanlu, for Hanchen, loyalty is a matter of duty, I dare not praise it."

Fu Hou's beautiful eyes stared at Yan for a while and smiled.

"If only everybody thought that."

The palace maid brought hot tea, and there was a brief silence in the Changqiu Palace.

What Empress Fu was thinking, Yan didn't know so well, the first half of her life was simple and monotonous, she only needed to serve the lord carefully in the back house, and occasionally competed with Mrs. Wei for favor, but it was just a dish of fish and a golden hairpin.

And Fuhou's tone felt strange and dangerous to her.

"I heard that Wen Hou is in the court, and he is very worried."
