Chapter 520: Cao Cao was defeated and Yuan Shao became king

Although it is said that the Three Kingdoms are in turmoil, it is becoming more and more peaceful on their own territory. Bandits, bandits and the like are all targets for training.

After more than half a year of recruitment and training, the total number of troops now has reached more than 400,000, of which there are as many as 50,000 cavalry, and even trained a lot of sailors, there are no more than 60,000 horses, and there are hundreds of warships. .

As for the generals, although they are still a little weaker, the thousands of generals who have been meticulously cultivated have also achieved some results. Among them, forty or fifty people can barely stand on their own. At least there should be no problem in defending the city...

However, the news from the north was not very good. Liu Bei was still defeated. If it hadn't been for Ma Teng of Xiliang to rescue him, he would have been swallowed alive by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's army. That's right, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao got together, and the emperor was used as a bargaining chip...

This change was really unexpected, and Yuan Shao was even more powerful, occupying the land of five continents, with more than 800,000 troops, almost dominating the Yellow River Basin. Now, the army is advancing westward to destroy Ma Teng in Liangzhou. If it succeeds, it is very likely that it will attack Xuzhou in the south...

...

"The imperial court has sent an edict!" Dozens of people in the hall were having a meeting, and Xu Shu took out an imperial edict and presented it.

"Yuan Shao also plays this trick?"

"Such a convenient excuse will naturally be used!"

The content of the edict was actually for him to be promoted, he was named a general, and he even named a duke for the first time in history. It was just that Yuan Shao got himself a prince, so it's not worth mentioning this. However, it is worth noting that there is some content, and the likes of Sun Ce, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, etc. are demoted as thieves who have committed troubles. Let Li Yunfei evaluate Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Ce of Soochow. He went to take places such as Xichuan, Hanzhong and Xichuan in Xiliang, and he could be crowned king after everything was done...

Yuan Shao is countless times more direct than Cao Cao, and the meaning is very obvious. Although he has finished dealing with Liangzhou and got Hanzhong Xichuan and other places, he is bound to go south, but he still doesn't want to go to war with himself until he has settled those two places... …

"The envoys of the lord Sun Ce, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang have come together, hoping to form an alliance with the lord and go north to attack the thieves Yuan."

"Did they come together?"

"Exactly!"

"Everyone, tell me what you think."

"...My lord, we haven't finished the training of the navy, and it's not easy for Sun Wu of Jingzhou to open, so the last commander thought I should go north!" Seeing that no one dared to speak first, Hu Yi stood up and said.

"My lord's subordinates think it is inappropriate to go north. Although I have more than 400,000 armored soldiers in Xuzhou, Yuan Shao's troops are more than double ours. We should stick to the city and wait and see what happens."

"My lord has a good friend who has gone to Jiangxia alone a few days ago and persuaded Huang Zu to vote!" Xu Shu stood up and said.

"Yuanzhi, is your friend Mr. Kong Ming?" Li Yunfei asked knowingly.

"It's Kong Ming!"

"Where is Kong Ming now?" Li Yunfei really didn't know where Kong Ming went, and how Lao Jiu lost people. I have to say that Kong Ming does have some means, even a specially trained Tiger Guard can do it. lost someone.

At that time, he thought that Kong Ming had already returned to his Longzhong, but unexpectedly, he gave him a greeting first. There is a reason why Huang Zu came to vote, because at the beginning, Sun Jian was shot to death by Huang Zu's disorderly construction. Now that Sun Ce and Liu Biao make peace, Huang Zu will definitely be abandoned. With Zhuge Liang's eloquence, it is not too big to persuade Huang Zu. difficult.

"Kong Ming has returned to Longzhong to farm, but he has left a strategy for the lord, saying that he wishes the lord to return the world to peace as soon as possible."

"Uh, I really went back. This Kong Ming is really hypocritical, but I really can't go to invite him in person. If Yuan Zhi goes to invite him, can I be sure to invite him back?"

It would be fine if I had time to ask for a few times, but now I really can't get away, so I can only ask others to do it for me.

"When he left, the subordinates also persuaded him with good words for a long time, but the effect was very small, so even if the subordinates went in person, the effect would not be great..."

"Father, there is someone under my daughter's account who can try it out!" Lu Lingqi suddenly stood up. She is also an official female general, so she is also qualified to come to the meeting, but although she is only at the bottom, everyone is still very polite to her. Yes, this is the jewel in the Lord's palm.

"...No, no, it's better to wait for a while. After my army can gain a foothold in Jingzhou, I will go there again in person!"

If Huang Zu came to vote, then he would definitely not be able to form an alliance with Liu Biao and Sun Ce, so he really had to join forces with Yuan Shao temporarily. Of course, it was necessary to take some precautions, especially Xuzhou could not be lost.

The strategy was quickly formulated to guard the north, and the south began to prepare to attack, taking Jingzhou first. The land here is fertile, the transportation is convenient, and the population is large enough to support millions of soldiers if it is well developed...

However, in order to prevent Chen Gong, Gao Shun and others from leaving for too long and giving birth to some unnecessary thoughts, a large team was dispatched to switch defenses. Although in history these two are subordinates who follow each other in life and death, it is still a bit dangerous to really give them an absolute foundation of self-reliance, and pigs can compete with themselves. Even if they are loyal and have no other thoughts, there will always be some conscientious people constantly persuading and admonishing them.

"Hu Yi, Long Wu, each of you will bring 50,000 troops north to defend Xuzhou. Please ask Chen Junshi and General Gao Shun to go south to help me take Jingzhou."

"promise!"

"Yuanzhi, you will also go north with the army, temporarily lead Xuzhou Mu, responsible for all government affairs in Xuzhou... Xuzhou is my rear area, so please!"

"Understood, my subordinates will do their best to protect Xuzhou for the lord... and also ask the lord to take care of the old mother at home for me!" It is of course an excellent thing to have been promoted. However, as a sensible person, of course I understand what Li Yunfei is worried about, so if he wants to go north to Xuzhou, he will leave his old mother in Wancheng to show his center.

"Yuanzhi can rest assured, with me here, you will definitely keep your family safe!" He patted his shoulder and assured him that Xu Shu was indeed a sensible person, which made Li Yunfei a little embarrassed.

"Thank you so much, lord, if there is nothing else, I will go back and prepare!"

"Wait, I have a weapon for defending the city, you can bring it... Come on, bring up my three-bow crossbow." Li Yunfei greeted the outside, and when they heard Li Yunfei's call, the two hurriedly put the A rather huge crossbow was carried in.

For a time, everyone was curious, and it was the first time everyone saw such a strange weapon.

"Father, is this bow installed upside down?" Lu Lingqi came over and asked a question when she saw the bow that was dressed upside down, asking everyone's doubts.

"Of course not, this crossbow was made by me personally!"

"My lord, what's so magical about this crossbow?" Xu Zha was also a little strange, what's the benefit of this bow installed backwards.

"Well, the total weight of this crossbow is 150 jin. It is made of three four-stone strong bows. The traction is so huge that it needs a winch to wind it. Because this bow is installed in reverse, it can be superimposed on the first two strong bows. The speed of the bow is combined with the speed of the bow at the back, so the speed of the arrows shot is more than double that of the normal crossbow. This crossbow has been tested, and the arrow can shoot a thousand steps away, The arrow weighs a pound and a half, and it can still shoot through thick armor at a distance of 400 steps..." It took several days of testing to make a successful bed crossbow, and Li Yunfei was also quite satisfied, this bed crossbow has indeed reached the level of the weapon The pinnacle of doing.

"It's so great!"

"The lord is really a goddess!"

"If there is a row of crossbows like this on the front of the city, the enemy will attack, and half of them will die before they reach the city..."

"Yes, but it is a weapon for defending the city!"

Everyone said one sentence to me and one sentence, all of them were lamenting the power of this crossbow, but Lu Lingqi kept spinning around the crossbow.

"What are you doing, girl?" Li Yunfei asked, tapping on Lu Lingqi's helmet.

"Dad, I think this crossbow is too big, we can make this crossbow half as small, and then cancel the heavy shelf below, so the whole crossbow weighs only 30 to 40 pounds, usually one People can walk on their backs, and it is convenient to carry them on horses. It can be used by two people. According to what the deputy commander said, the range will be very good, so we can completely form a strong crossbow team for field battles... "

"Miss is really a genius, worthy of being the daughter of the lord!"

"Yes! Yes! The lady is so talented!"

For a while, there was a lot of flattery. To be honest, Li Yunfei was a little surprised. In fact, he also thought about making a small three-bow crossbow for field battles. He didn't expect his daughter to think of this first.

"It's a very good proposal, so I'll leave this small three-bow crossbow to you!"

"Thank you father handsome, I will try my best to get things done in the end." This is the first time that she has shown her face in front of so many people, and has given her father a sigh of relief. Lu Lingqi is also quite excited. She is self-willed and her father spoils her. , I really supported myself to be a female general, which is actually not very good for my father's reputation But now I have shown my intelligence and ability, and then no one will say that my father is too much to me. Over indulged...

"Very good, feel free to ask me if there is anything you don't understand." In fact, Li Yunfei is really doting on this Lu Lingqi. As long as she sees her happy, she will be in a good mood.

...

The reception of Jiang Xia was generally very smooth. The only thing that was a little bit of a fly in the ointment was that one of the little leaders, Gan Ning, suddenly came out with a team of men. His superiors surrendered. Hu Wei was captured alive.

Just scolding and saying what kind of one-on-one fight, but it was released by Li Yunfei with an old fist and almost didn't recognize his parents, but he was still stubborn, saying that he was not good at land and cavalry combat, and if he had a kind, he would be better than his parents. In the water battle, Li Yunfei was pulled into the water and almost drowned. Finally, he was frightened and stopped shouting.

Then Li Yunfei also played the trick of rubbing the medicine himself, treating wounds, etc., a series of means of grace and power, and successfully subdued this guy in just a few days. Although this person is full of arrogance, he is also very courageous. It is also a tiger general. I believe that in the future, with that kind of education that is like brainwashing, it will be possible to remove his bandit and lead the navy at that time.
