Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 466 Metal Drill (Belated update for my brother Xue Lian Zhi Meng~~Thank you for your support~)
It was clear that Lu Bu had made up his mind and that there were clearly more pro-war factions than conservatives present.

Zhang Zhao didn't want to offend Lu Bu again, so he and Zhang Hong returned to their seats.

As the episode ended, Lu Bu smiled again and said to the people who had gathered:
“This time the imperial court sent assassins to kill me and Red Hare.

"Fortunately, both I and Red Hare were lucky and were not killed by the assassin.

“And this also gives me the opportunity to attack the imperial court.

“If it weren’t for this opportunity, I would have planned to rest for a while.

"Now that we have decided to fight, where do you think is the best place to attack the imperial army?"

As Lu Bu raised the question, all the soldiers immediately began to discuss it.

Not long after, Zhang Zhao, who had just advised Lu Bu not to send troops, stood up again:
"My lord, the imperial court has now basically pacified the entire Bingzhou, and has reached some kind of agreement with the Southern Xiongnu, so that they will not invade the northern part of Bingzhou again for the time being.

“Therefore, the imperial court can concentrate more troops in Sili to fight against our army.

"In my opinion, we might as well change our thinking and start from Liangzhou.

"This will not only prevent Liu Bei from sending troops to support us, but also help us avoid the enemy's main attack and catch them off guard!"

After listening to Zhang Zhao's speech, Lu Bu couldn't help but want to laugh.

This guy is really speechless. Sometimes he doesn't let him hit, and sometimes he tells him where to hit.

But it is undeniable that what the other party said does make sense.

Although Liu Xie and Liu Bei's army are now in an alliance, Liu Bei's army is definitely waiting for Lu Bu to attack Liu Xie.

After all, as long as Liu Xie, the orthodox Han dynasty, remained, Liu Bei would never be able to ascend to the throne.

Then Zhuge Liang's dream of reviving Shu Han would never be fully realized.

So if we really take action against Sizhou.

By then, Liu Bei's army would at best just be pretending and would never really support Liu Xie with all their strength.

Liu Xie was obviously aware of this, which was why he placed more troops in Sili.

In this way, Liangzhou, which is connected to Yizhou, has an opportunity to take advantage of!

At that time, even if Liu Xie asked Liu Bei to send troops to attack his side to contain the enemy.

Because Liu Bei was far away from the main battlefield, he could take advantage of the situation more unscrupulously.

Following Zhang Zhao's thoughts, Lu Bu continued:
"If we attack Liangzhou, we will have two choices.

"One is Wudu County, which is connected to Hanzhong, and the other is Longxi County, which is to the west of Wudu County.

"Of course, with our army's current sufficient combat power, we can attack these two counties at the same time!"

Hearing this, Sun Ce couldn't wait to challenge:
"My Lord! Please allow me to be the vanguard and attack one of the counties!"

Seeing Sun Ce's anxious look, Lu Bu knew that the other party had not had a chance to fight recently and could no longer hold back.

So he smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Bofu. I will not go there in person to attack Liangzhou this time.

"You will be the chief military commander, and Gongjin and Ziqiao, who is familiar with the terrain of Yizhou, will assist you."

Sun Ce stood up in surprise and clasped his fists in gratitude.

Lu Bu turned his gaze towards Zhang Song:
"Zi Qiao, what do you think about attacking Liangzhou?"

At this moment, Zhang Song was twirling his beard and thinking. When he heard Lu Bu's question, he immediately stood up and said:
“My lord, I recently heard that Feng Ji, an old official under Yuan Shao, was transferred to Wudu County to assist the garrison commander Yang Feng.

"I am thinking about whether I can persuade Feng Ji to act as an insider and help our army capture Wudu County."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Lu Bu gently patted the handle of the chair, sat up straight and said:
"Nan Fengji is an excellent strategist, but he likes to make slanderous remarks.

"I'm afraid he was half responsible for Yuan Shao's defeat.

"He was sent by Liu Xie to a remote place like Liangzhou, and I'm afraid he is not welcomed by Liu Xie.

"This is indeed a good opportunity to win over the other party. "But who should we send to contact the other party and have the best chance of success in persuading him?"

Zhang Song immediately replied:
"I will nominate someone to go with me, and he should be able to convince Feng Ji."

"Oh? Who does Ziqiao recommend?"

Zhang Song turned his head and looked at a general who was ranked at the bottom. It was Yan Liang, a former subordinate of Yuan Shao!

When Yan Liang saw Zhang Song looking at him, he immediately understood what he was thinking.

Ever since the last fight with his former good brother Wen Chou, he has realized that the Yuan family's past glory can never be restored.

And Lu Bu is the only person he can be loyal to now.

Besides fighting, there was still a place where he could be of use. Naturally, he felt obliged to do so and immediately stood up and said:
"Please give me your orders, Mr. Ziqiao!"

"it is good."

Zhang Song smiled and returned the greeting:
"Given the friendship between the general and Feng Ji, it won't be difficult to convince him as long as I am there to help."

However, Lu Bu said worriedly:

"What if the two of you are discovered by the enemy? Wouldn't that be dangerous?"

Zhang Song waved his hand calmly:

"Don't worry, my lord. I will set out with General Yan tomorrow to contact Feng Ji.

"My lord, it will take quite some time for you to prepare food and troops.

"Before you sent out your troops, perhaps we had already completed contact with Feng Ji."

Seeing that Zhang Song was quite confident, Lu Bu could only nod in agreement.

If they send troops to support, it will magnify the target and make them easier to be found by the enemy.

Having Yan Liang accompany the other party is almost enough.

Even if they were finally discovered by the enemy, they would probably just be detained and then make a deal with Lu Bu.

It is highly likely that they will not be killed directly.

In the following time, everyone discussed in more detail the attack on the two southern counties of Liangzhou.

The final decision was that Sun Ce would attack Wudu County, and Wei Yan, who was already in Yizhou, would attack Longxi.

As for how to fight specifically, we will make a decision after we have investigated the enemy's situation clearly.

In addition, Lu Bu also asked Zhao Yun and Lu Lingqi to go with him in this battle.

Zhao Yun could not be sent to attack Liu Bei, but he had no psychological burden in attacking Liu Xie.

After the meeting, Lu Bu went straight to the Industrial Construction Department.

The flying fire gun he improved before is already in mass production.
In addition, the large attack vehicle provided by Zhang Zhao's nephew Zhang Fen last time has also been manufactured by the craftsmen according to the drawings.

Zhang Zhao's change of attitude this time may also be related to his nephew.

He himself probably did not want to go to war, but if there was no war, his nephew's invention would be of no use.

If you have no place to use your talents, you can't make any achievements and bring honor to your family.

That's why Zhang Zhao took the initiative to provide ideas for attack.

This time, Lu Bu loaded the siege vehicle with the Fengxian divine crossbow that he and Huang Yueying invented together, whose power was no less than Zhuge Liang's crossbow.

Plus the portability of the large attack vehicle.

Each large attack vehicle can become a mobile artillery on the battlefield, causing considerable damage to the enemy!
This time it can be used to attack Liangzhou, and it can be demonstrated well.

Lu Bu came to the Industrial Manufacturing Department and saw a very majestic four-wheeled vehicle.

There is a giant metal drill in front of the car.

There are nine Fengxian divine crossbows mounted on the back of the car, which can shoot in three directions at the same time!
