Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 224 Abandonment
"Ah! Dad, why are you here? My uncle was looking for you just now..." As soon as Huang Yueying returned to E City, she was blocked by Huang Chengyan.

Although Huang Chengyan is in his 50s, he looks slightly middle-aged, his hair is a little yellow, and he is lean but energetic.

However... the glaring look in his eyes not only makes people feel energetic, but also makes people instinctively feel - this old man must have a very difficult character!

"Then let him find it. I'm looking for you now." Huang Chengyan remained unmoved.

Huang Yueying curled her lips when she heard this and said, "Dad, how do you know I'm here?"

"I wasn't sure at first, but I found out that those workshops in Hubei were actually taking orders for featherless wooden arrows..." Huang Chengyan said.

Echeng did not have the basis for assembly line workmanship, and Huang Zu did not want the production method of repeated crossbows to be circulated among the people, but he forced the production of crossbow arrows to be assigned to private workshops.

When using a crossbow to shoot arrows, it is generally necessary to use thin bamboo slices to make "arrow feathers", or not to use arrow feathers. The former is expensive to craft, and the latter thinks that the ballistic trajectory is unstable and affects the range.

As for Huang Yueying's repeating crossbow, because several crossbow arrows must be pressed into the receiver at the same time, it must use bare wooden arrows without "fletching", and the shape is shorter and smaller than ordinary crossbow arrows, which is highly recognizable, so Huang Chengyan glanced at it I recognized it.

Even Huang Yueying didn't know before that Huang Chengyan was the boss behind one of the private workshops in Hubei City, so he got the news immediately.

"Confused! Do you think you can change the situation with your little cleverness?" Huang Chengyan scolded.

"But Sun Ce came here to avenge his uncle this time..." Huang Yueying obviously didn't want to help Jiang Xia or Jingzhou, she just didn't want her uncle to be defeated.

If the others were defeated, as long as they did not die on the spot, they would probably still have a chance to survive. However, Sun Ce, who came for revenge, would not give Huang Zu any chance of survival.

"From the time he intercepted Sun Jian...no, it should be said that he was in troubled times, and he was going to be the prefect of Jiangxia and the separatist side. He should have this kind of awareness." Huang Chengyan shook his head as he said.

"Well, this is the path he chose. You don't need to get involved. Just go back to Nanyang with your father." Huang Chengyan continued.

"No." Huang Yueying refused without any struggle.

"You... don't be willful. This time, my father has found a rare talent from Pang Degong, who will definitely be worthy of you." Huang Chengyan said with some complacency.

"Let's talk about it, I don't want to go back for the time being." Huang Yueying said nonchalantly.

"My father never forced you to do anything, at least go back and have a look, and... it's not good to stay in Jiangxia." Huang Chengyan said, and the two tall generals behind him also showed helplessness and flattery towards Huang Yueying. , took two steps forward.

Huang Yueying rolled up her sleeves without saying a word...

I saw Huang Yueying holding some kind of metal and wooden "arm guard" close to her arm. With a burst of machine sounds, crossbow arms popped up on both sides of the arm guard, and even...the tip of the arrow was exposed in front, swinging out A "I'm just moving my wrist" look.

When the two generals saw this, they looked around and retreated.

"It was a mistake for my father to let you read those Mohist things since you were a child." Huang Chengyan said angrily.

"No, my aunt showed it to me. You were never at home when I was a child!" Huang Yueying exposed it mercilessly.

"Ahem...Okay, whatever you want to do, just do it!" Huang Chengyan left in a rage.

However, as he turned around, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The general next to him whispered: "Miss Yueying's temper is exactly like my boss when you were young."

Huang Chengyan glanced at him and ignored the general who had just given up.

……

On the other hand, after the news of the defeat of Jiangxia Navy came out, the first thing Liu Biao thought of was not aid, but... sending Cai Mao and Wenpin to take over Xiling!
Xiling is a large county in the north of Jiangxia, located north of the Yangtze River. If Miokou and Xiakou, where the Han River and the Yangtze River meet, are the east-west barriers of Jiangxia, then Xiling is the north-south divide of Jiangxia.

In history, Lu Xun and Lu Kang, their father and son, once guarded here to guard against Cao Wei, who had already taken control of Nanjun and Nanyang.

At this time, Liu Biao sent Cai Mao and Wenpin first, and the purpose was obvious - as long as Xiling was defended, even if the natural danger of the Yangtze River in Jiangxia was no longer there and the south was occupied, the general's northward offensive could be suppressed and Nanjun preserved.

In fact, it was just as Huang Zu expected...

Liu Biao had always only tacitly "cooperated" with the representatives of the Nanjun family, and Huang Zu had always listened to the advice but not the announcement.

If Huang Zu and Sun Ce could fight back and forth, Liu Biao might cause trouble later. If Huang Zu was at a disadvantage, Liu Biao would definitely provide support, but...

Once the power in Huang Zu's hands is exhausted, then Liu Biao will just give up on him, just like now... directly take back the northern part of Jiangxia, and he doesn't worry, or don't care about Huang Zu's dissatisfaction.

Without Jiangxia Navy, Huang Zu would be just a "predecessor" with no use value.

Cai Mao was Liu Biao's brother-in-law, the son of Cai Xi and the younger brother of Cai Shuang. At this time, Cai Mao was not yet 30 years old. Even though his military strength was average, his appearance did not look greasy.

Wenpin is a young man in the Jingzhou army. He is very close to the Cai family, and he is also very talented. Five years ago, when gilt armor was not as common as it is now, he was already gilded.

Now Cai Shuang has given birth to a son for Liu Biao, named Cong. Although she is only six years old, everyone knows that as long as Cai Shuang is still alive, she will be an important link of unity between the Nanjun nobles and Liu Biao, and the Nanjun nobles will do their best. Support Liu Cong.

With Cai Shuang inside and Nanjun nobles outside, even though Liu Cong was only six years old, he still made his brother Liu Qi feel in danger!

After all, Liu Qi's mother died young, and Cai Shuang was married to Liu Biao, so her title was naturally his wife, and Liu Cong was also his legitimate son.

No one else knew about it during this period, but when Bai Tu saw the basic situation in Jingzhou, he knew about Liu Cong. It is obvious that the situation in Cheng Ji's world is closer to the "Romance".

Because in history, Liu Cong was not Mrs. Cai’s son, but because he married Mrs. Cai’s niece, so he got close to Mrs. Cai and the Nanjun gentry and gained their support. He was much older than in the novel, not child.

When Huang Zu learned that the Xiling area had been garrisoned by Cai Mao, he was equally angry - the Cai family was undoubtedly the one closest to Liu Biao among the Nanjun gentry...

Moreover, because of Huang Chengyan's relationship, the relationship between the Cai family and the Huang family was quite estranged, especially Cai Mao... He always believed that the early death of his eldest sister was due to Huang Jun's absence, and attributed this to the discord between brothers Huang Zu and Huang Jun. .

However, Cai Mao still talked about some "rules" among the noble clans. After taking over Xiling, he took the initiative to send a message to Echeng, telling Huang Zu that they would take good care of the Huang family in Nanjun. He also told Huang Zu that he could recommend Huang She to be in the army. Be the chief clerk of the Nanjun Prefecture.

Not mentioning Huang Zu himself, it was obvious that not only Liu Biao, but also the Nanjun nobles had given up on him. After Huang Zu read the letter, he almost fainted from anger, but then he still called Huang She over.

On the other hand, after holding Miankou, Sun Ce captured Xiakou on the other side, and then one cargo ship after another came to Jiangxia carrying the "Baigong Cannon"...
