Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 853 Xiliang Army 1
After finishing the black powder work, Huang Xu was arranged to go back to rest first. Gongsun Xu did take him to play a very exciting game, but this time the game was a bit big. The gravel produced by the black powder explosion was scratched, and he had never seen this thing before, and his heart was shocked, so Gongsun Xu had to give him a day off.

"It's really not easy for you to make it." Gongsun Xu looked at the craftsman and said, "However, I still have to tell you that this thing is far from what I want, so you have to continue to work hard." Improve the formula, how to do it is up to you, and I will tell you everything I know.

I have been waiting for so many years, and next, I don’t think I have to wait too long. This month, I will basically stay in Youzhou to develop this thing with you. In addition, you should know how powerful this thing is. I hope all of you Keep it a secret. From today onwards, when all the officials are promoted to three ranks, parents, wives and children will all move to the residence of the Jiangzuoying family members. I will help you arrange it. As for your rewards, it will be implemented tonight.

This meeting in Youzhou can be regarded as very fruitful, but I hope this is just the beginning, and we still have a lot to do next, please continue to work hard. "

"Follow the general's orders,,,,,,"

After the crowd dispersed, Gongsun Xu sat quietly on the chair and thought about the problem. After waiting for so many years, he finally waited for the appearance of black powder. However, the current black powder is mostly used to set off fireworks, unless it is an improved formula. Or develop more powerful gunpowder. Otherwise, even if this thing can bring some shock to the enemy at the beginning, the effect in the later stage may be limited. The key is that the power is not strong enough.

"Gunpowder has already appeared, but it is not suitable for actual combat for the time being." Gongsun Xu said to himself: "After improving the formula, the power can definitely be improved. Explosive kits, simple grenades, etc. can also be produced. The strength of the northern border army is already strong, if these things are added, it will be like adding wings to a tiger.

However, this is just the beginning. Cold weapons are still the protagonists of the battlefield for the time being. This transitional period is still needed. At least until guns and cannons are produced, decisive battles on the battlefield still have to rely on cold weapons. This is just the beginning..."

The appearance of black powder really excited Gongsun Xu. If the craftsman battalion can really produce gunpowder that can be used in actual combat in a short period of time, the Northern Xinjiang Army will be invincible whether it is attacking the city or fighting in the field. land.

In order to produce what he wanted as soon as possible, Gongsun Xu lived and ate directly in the craftsman camp. For seventeen consecutive days, Gongsun Xu almost mixed with these craftsmen. The craftsman camp had been divided into a restricted area. This place is personally guarded by the Huben Army, and the sound of thunder can be heard in the restricted area every day, sometimes mixed with the cheers of craftsmen.

On the second day after Huang Xu was arranged to go home to rest, this guy excitedly ran to the craft camp to join in the fun. The shock brought by the black powder really surprised him, but it also made him more interested. Until now, I don't understand how Gongsun Xu knew how to use Jinglei. In his opinion, his master is absolutely a god.

"Barely able to be used in actual combat, not enough power is not enough,,,,,,"

When Gongsun Xu was still thinking about how to increase the power of gunpowder, two men in black military uniforms walked up to Gongsun Xu and handed him a wax pill...

"My lord,,,,,," Huang Xu hurried over after hearing that the shadow guard had come, and saw Gongsun Xu holding a note in his hand.

"An accident happened in Xiliang." Gongsun Xu slowly tore up the note in his hand and said, "Han Sui joined forces with most of the Qiang leaders in Xiliang to send troops. In addition, Ma Chao also led the army to go north together. The 20 Xiliang army is about to Entering the Hetao from the grassland."

"Is Ma Chao going to fight the lord too? No reason, why did he do that?"

"Information shows that Ma Teng has been detained by Cao Cao. It is estimated that this matter has something to do with Cao Cao." Gongsun Xu closed his eyes. Over the years, the successive battles made him a little tired. He always wanted to wait for his own strength. After being strong enough, he will sweep the world with thunderous momentum, but he also understands that other princes are not willing to stand still, and they will definitely find a way to fight back. Even though Gongsun Xu has been low-key enough these years, he has hidden a considerable part of his strength.

"Back then, I sent an order to Ma Teng to make an appointment with him to open up the Western Regions." Gongsun Xu continued: "Then Ma Chao led the army to the west. According to the progress, he could open up the Silk Road again. Half a year ago, Ma Chao stopped advancing suddenly, and even planned to return to Xiliang.

The Silk Road that was finally opened up is very likely to be lost. At that time, I suspected that there was something wrong with the Xiliang Army. Moreover, there was Han Sui in Xiliang. Still went to the opposite of me, alas, he is like this, so is Bofu, they are all like this. "

"At the end of the day, there is no need for Ma Chao to do this." Huang Xu asked puzzledly: "His foundation is in Xiliang, and it is absolutely beneficial for him to persuade him to open up the Silk Road. If the army is doing the right thing, what does Ma Chao rely on?"

"He may not want to, but that doesn't mean others don't." Gongsun Xu said with a smile: "The coalition forces on the prairie back then went south. In recent years, there have been troubles one after another in the northern prairie. The princes in the south have jointly attacked me. Hehe, I'm sure that all these things There is a shadow of Cao Cao in it. Ma Teng is in Cao Cao's hands now. He must make good use of the Xiliang Army to contain us. In addition, we cheated him in Yuzhou last time. How can Cao Cao not take revenge? .

Don't forget, now the imperial court is in Cao Cao's hands, and the orthodoxy of the world is also in Cao Cao's hands. He has the qualifications and power to order the heroes of the world. up. "

"So that's it, it's just,,,,,,"

"My lord, urgent report." Two more shadow guards came in and reported to Gongsun Xuhui: "In the north, on the prairie, the army of the Huns is moving south, and its vanguard of five thousand cavalry is already attacking the northernmost city of our northern grassland."

Gongsun Xu received the battle report from the shadow guard with a calm face. Under such circumstances, Gongsun Xu remained calm. He didn't expect so many things to happen in the borderland not long after he came back.

"Hasn't the Xiongnu already been wiped out? Why are you still making trouble?" Huang Xu wondered, "The Xiongnu Shanyu was beheaded by Lu Bu himself, this,,,,,,"

"We wiped out the Southern Huns, but we didn't expect the Northern Huns to migrate back." Gongsun Xu explained: "At that time, the Huns were divided into northern and southern parts due to civil strife. Something went wrong, that’s why we migrated back, it seems that this time we have something to do again,,,,,,”
