Chapter 115

Xu Chu has always looked down on war books and other things. He likes to fight one-on-one, because he found that since the death of Lu Bu and Dian Wei, basically no one is his opponent, and most of them can't make it past five. Ten strokes and you're done.When the main general is warped, the soldiers under him will lose the will to fight and often win easily.So he often sneered at Xun You, Cheng Yu, Mao Jie, Zhong You and others, and didn't take them seriously?I can only play tricks, what, the country was brought back by the old men with one knife and one gun, and I don’t care about you, especially that Xu You, fuck it, I heard him call the prime minister "Aman" the other day. When he grows up, he is still a traitor, and he hates it when he looks at it.When Cheng Yu was captured, he was still a little happy in his heart, and said to himself, the stinky scholar is over, you are showing off your skills, let's see if you are still crazy in the future.He also said privately to Hua Xin that the prime minister shouldn't have sent Cheng Yu there, what can he do as a scholar, eating is okay.Hua Xin kept staring at him, so angry that he almost fainted.

To this Yuan Xi, he also wanted to have a fair duel, but this kid was unkind and played tricks.He even made a fool of himself, now it’s all right, when we go back, Hua Xin will definitely laugh at me, and Xu You, who often says I’m brave and foolish, will get angry when he hears it, if he dares to laugh at me this time If you make fun of me, I will give him a clean slate - make his mouth stink.

After hearing Xu Chu's report, Cao Cao remained silent for a long time.Then he only said one sentence: "The general has worked hard, go down and rest." Xu Chu didn't leave, he said; "Prime Minister, I have one more thing." Cao Cao loved Xu Chu deeply; "Speak." Xu Chu said; "I want to ask for my life Go and attack Li Yang and capture Yuan Xi alive."

Cao Cao understood what he was thinking, and said with a wry smile, "Okay, but we have to wait for the army to rest for two days. By the way, let's go and see Wen Yuan. I don't know what's wrong with his injury."

Liyang City.Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu, Wen Chou, Chang Xi, Zhu Ling, Yuan Yin, these old ministries gathered again.Everyone's army system has been disrupted, and some generals have lost their titles, such as Sui Yuanjin and General Meng Dai who made great contributions to the peasant army.Qingzhou soldiers, Bingzhou soldiers, and Jizhou soldiers were in a mess in the city, crying for their fathers and mothers, lying all over the place, no one organized management, and no one was responsible for meeting the enemy.I'm a little puzzled, although Shenpei Fengji is treacherous, he is definitely not without strategy, especially Shenpei, whose defense of the city is one of the best in the Three Kingdoms.What, the situation is so dire?
The father was still unconscious. It turned out that all the people gathered around the bed as filial sons and grandchildren, forgetting that the soldiers outside were pressing the border.As soon as I came in, I saw a pool of black blood on the ground. It seemed that my father's situation was not optimistic.My heart was churning for a while, no matter what, I was a father and son, and I felt like crying.The group of people who had surrounded my father turned around and surrounded me.Everyone watched helplessly, hoping that my genius doctor could find a way to bring the dead back to life.

I nodded symbolically, and sat by the bed to check my father's pulse.The pulse is very weak, and the heart, lung, and liver vessels have been severely damaged, but it is not irreversible. As long as it is carefully adjusted, it can be maintained.

My complexion was a little bit better, and I let out a sigh of relief, and everyone understood that the lord was safe and sound.After finishing the acupuncture for my father, I prescribed a prescription and ordered my servants to boil the medicine.Yuan Shang leaned over and asked, "Second brother, what happened to father?"

Shenpei Fengji stretched his neck out like a spring, and listened with his ears up.If the lord dies, we should persuade the lord to establish an heir.

A bold idea suddenly popped up in my heart, and I said casually: "It's okay, I can wake up in an hour. Brother——" I looked at Yuan Tan and said; "Father's illness is caused by fatigue and worry. If you want to To recover, the only way is to send him back to Jizhou for recuperation, I think you should escort him back to Jizhou."

The judge's body suddenly trembled.Yuan Tan said, "Forget it, I'll stay here and fight side by side with you." Just as I was about to speak, the judge hurriedly said, "I'm not busy discussing this matter, we can talk about it when the Lord wakes up."

I sneered, it seemed that Shen Zhengnan had seen through my thoughts.I thought to myself, maybe the only chance to stop the brother-in-law fight is right in front of me, and I can't miss anything.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Brother, third brother, I want to take my father's pulse meticulously. You take people out first, and you must not come in to disturb me for a while, otherwise my thoughts will be messed up, and my father's chest—"

Having said this, there is no reason for anyone to hold back.First the eldest brother and Yuan Shang went out, followed by a group of civil servants and generals.I informed the guards at the door that no one should approach within two feet during the consultation period.

I lied, and after a stick of incense, my father woke up leisurely.Confused, he saw that there was only one person beside the bed, and frowned, as if it took him a long time to remember who I was.

"Xi'er, you—hi—" he sighed; "It's thanks to you this time, otherwise, I would have been captured alive by Cao thief for my father."

"Father, don't worry. I will take care of Liyang's affairs. I have the confidence to let Cao thief return to Xuchang. However, your illness is very serious, and you can no longer worry about it. I think you should return to Jizhou immediately to recuperate and stay away." Battlefield, if you don't worry, leave Li Yang's affairs to me." I fell to my knees.

The father burst into tears; "Xi'er, father can only rely on you at this time. You must protect Li Yang, and you must not let it belong to the Cao thief. Otherwise, the gate of Jizhou will be wide open, and we will never have peace."

I said, "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Father, don't be sad. You must do your best. As long as your health recovers, we will make a comeback and fight Guandu again."

My father sighed; "Xi'er, for my father, I will give you the full responsibility for the matter of resisting Cao Cao. You must not disappoint my father's expectations." I nodded and hesitated; "It's better for my father to return to Jizhou tomorrow, so as to save my heart and mind. , the condition worsened." The father nodded; "My son is benevolent and filial."

I finally spit out the most important words that have been brewing for a long time; "It's just that the child can't speak alone, and I want to ask my father to keep my third brother and Shen Zhengnan as assistants." The father's eyes shot unprecedented lightning; Stay here to help you." I shook my head and said, "This is absolutely impossible. First, Yuan Shangchu is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If he retreats before the battle, the three armies will definitely be shocked and the army will be in chaos. Second, if the father entrusts the important matter of resisting Cao to the child, Then the boy will exercise the power of arbitrariness. As my eldest brother, Yuan Tan will not listen to what he says if it is light, but if it is serious, it will affect the brotherhood, which is not good for the army. If it is not done well, Li Yang will not be able to defend Stop it—" I said worriedly.I thought to myself, even if my father was reluctant, he would not dare to refuse.

Sure enough, the father thought for a while and said, "Xi'er, for the father's body—" I guessed that he would have such concerns, afraid that if he couldn't do it, he wouldn't be able to see Yuan Shang and pass on the throne.

But when I checked the pulse just now, I found that his life is not in danger, as long as he keeps his heart clean and ascetic for a period of time, he will naturally get better.Let's tell the truth; "Father's health is fine, just take good care of him, don't get angry, and don't drink too much alcohol."

Now my father is relieved, it turns out that he can't die, so it's okay to let Yuan Shang stay to practice for a while.It can be seen from this expedition that he is indeed still young.

"Just let Shang'er and Shen Zhengnan stay to assist you, Xi'er, don't worry, father will hand over all the power to you this time, and Shang'er will never let you be restrained." My father excitedly held my hand.

I thought to myself, Dad, you finally trust me once, it seems that the Yuan family's fortunes are really over. In fact, I understand that my father had no choice but to do this.It's like Li Yuan and Li Shimin are similar.At this moment in Liyang, only Youzhou soldiers can be said to have combat effectiveness, and their morale is also high.Moreover, both Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan were also defeated generals. Compared with my illustrious military exploits in Huainan, Youzhou, and Cangting, they are simply incomparable. He understands that only by entrusting the power to me can it be possible to keep Li Yang .

When I walked out of the room, I told my father not to talk, and it was best not to see anyone, otherwise I might faint again.In fact, there is no such thing as a proficient fart.I can't help it either, it's not that I'm deceiving, but I can't let the judge and Fengji lobby.Give them no chance.This is the benefit of being a doctor.My medical skills have been widely verified and are absolutely effective, so speaking as a doctor has some kind of authority.Even some people have begun to believe in the words of the miracle doctor, so I fabricated such a lie, and my father did not doubt it.

Yuan Shangchen, accompanied by Yuan Tan and others, came dozens of times a day, but none of them could enter the house.

In the evening, my father asked Simpi to give the order on his behalf, and ordered me to concurrently serve as the prefect of Liyang, commanding all the soldiers in Liyang now, with the power of life and death.And let Yuan Shang and Shenpei stay in Liyang, Yuan Shang is a partial general, and Shenpei is still a marching commander, unified under the banner of the governor of Youzhou.

When Yuan Shang and Shen Pei first received the order, they were furious, then puzzled.Of course, my father would not say that this is what I mean, otherwise, if the brothers are at odds, can Li Yang still survive?Yuan Shang and Shen Pei wandered around the house as if they couldn't find the toilet in a hurry to urinate.I just can't figure out how my father would make such a decision.However, if you can't figure it out, you have to execute it.Yuan Shang wanted to see his father to ask clearly, but he couldn't see him. The soldiers at the door told him in a very gentle and respectful tone: "My lord has said, I don't see anyone."

Father is not a fool, he knew Yuan Shang would come to him, and he was upset, so naturally he didn't dare to see him.I can only repeat it over and over again in my heart: Shang'er, when my father's health improves, I will take you back immediately. The position of the general is yours, and no one can take it away.

When Yuan Shang saw his father with tears in his eyes, his father was already lying in the car, leaving the Liyang City Gate and returning to Jizhou.Yuan Tan was a little high-spirited, and he was talking with the generals Wang Zhao Pengan, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang beside him. He didn't know why his father loved him so much this time, and he was a little flattered.Feng Ji rode on the horse with a mournful face as if his whole family had died, and no one paid attention to him.Father comforted Yuan Shang, who was distraught, heartbroken, and burst into tears, and ordered the army to set off.

Yuan Shang stood listlessly at the gate of the city and waved goodbye to his father.Looking at the mighty [-] army going away in Juechen.Seeing Yuan Tan shaking his head proudly on the horse, he gritted his teeth angrily.The judge has been thinking about why the lord suddenly changed so much, not only let the second son lead the army, but also left the third son in Li Yang, this, this is not his style, is it because he was injured and confused?

There is no doubt that Liyang is a strong city, but a strong city cannot withstand the excessive disparity in military strength.After his father left, Bingzhou soldiers were brought back to Bingzhou by senior officials to guard against Ma Tengweizhong.The total number of Youzhou soldiers and a small number of Qingzhou soldiers and Jizhou soldiers in the city is less than 50.An optimistic calculation is one to ten.In fact, according to Jia Xu's calculations, Cao Bing actually exceeded 60 to around [-].With such a force, Cao Cao would definitely fight around four gates, it is impossible to attack only one gate.

During the days when he was stationed in Jizhou, Hao Zhao was not idle. Instead, he mobilized all the craftsmen day and night to rush to make fire bricks, wooden guns, crossbows, poisonous arrows, iron caltrops, stone carts and other tools for defending the city.Moreover, he also strengthened the research on crossbow arrows.Gu Haozhao introduced that crossbow arrows are divided into clip crossbow, thin crossbow, Han crossbow and large crossbow.The clip crossbow and thin crossbow are lighter and have a fast firing speed, and are mostly used for attacking and defending fortresses; the Han crossbow and the big crossbow are strong crossbows, which have a long range but slow firing speed, and are mostly used in vehicle battles and field battles.

Hao Zhao synthesized the characteristics of these four kinds of crossbows, and referred to many historical materials of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, coupled with his own rich knowledge of weapon manufacturing, took the essence and discarded the dross, and developed a kind of "Panel Crossbow" .This kind of crossbow is launched by a crossbow machine, which is made of bronze and iron.The crossbow machine is 16.5 cm high, and the Wangshan height {the front sight for aiming} is 5.5 cm."Wangshan" is engraved with a scale, which is equivalent to the gauge on modern firearms. It is convenient to adjust the firing angle of the crossbow according to the target distance and improve the hit rate of shooting. There is a "hanging knife" (that is, the trigger) under the copper Guo, which is used to Shoot the arrow. When the crossbow is fired, first open the string, hold it on the "teeth" of the crossbow machine, install the arrow on the crossbow machine, aim through the "Wangshan", and touch the trigger to "shrink the "teeth" , the string is unhooked, and the kinetic energy formed by the rapid rebound of the opened bowstring is used to shoot the arrow at high speed.A wooden bar is superimposed on the 64 cm long crossbow arm, and copper ornaments are clamped on the crossbow arm.These devices are all to enhance the bearing strength of the crossbow arm, indicating that it is a crossbow with stronger tension and longer range.Coupled with extra-large arrows, each weighing up to 100 grams.Twice as much as other iron arrows.

Four crossbows are arranged on the crossbow machine, and each crossbow can fire more than ten arrows at a time, and each time 75 crossbows (ancient rocket launchers?) are combined to shoot thousands of steps away. (The cold weapon with the largest range) It takes [-] to [-] people to twist the string with a rope to borrow the power of the machine. It is a powerful weapon.This ballista can be installed on the city wall to deal a devastating blow to the incoming enemy.I named it "Piercing the Clouds"

By the way, the "Flying Shuttle Ballista" of the Warring States Period was restored.The crossbow is a kind of ballista, placed on the cart, it can advance and retreat.The cart drives a 120-jin crossbow, and each crossbow shoots seven arrows, a total of ten crossbows, and there are seventy arrows without firing once.The arrow in the middle is slightly larger than the other six arrows, and the three arrows on each side are slightly smaller. It can shoot [-] steps.It can also be regarded as an ancient rocket launcher.

Hao Zhao has already tested five sets by himself, and they are completely ready for use. Under Hao Zhao's guidance, the craftsmen have mastered all the precise technical requirements, so eight hundred craftsmen made ten sets of crossbow machines in one day and one night. And some arrows.At noon of the next day, there were four gates in Liyang, each of which had two extremely powerful 'cloud piercing crossbow machines' installed.Four improved rock-splitting machines that can launch [-]-jin boulders are named "Big Flying Stones".At the four corners of the city wall, according to Jia Xu's intention, two sets of piercing cloud crossbows and two large flying stone machines were also arranged.The extra-large bows and arrows on the platoon crossbow have been wound up, and Da Feishi has also entered the offensive state.Just waiting for Cao Jun to come and guide.

I thought in my heart that I would study the "Lianzhu" with him that day to see if Hao Zhao could make the Lianzhu before Zhuge Liang, and that would be great.
