Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 176 The giant crossbow is powerful

The fat and kind businessman found a clean courtyard for Jian Yong for the group of people to rest.

If you have nothing to do, please don't go out after sunset. The kind fat man warned carefully.

Jian Yong laughed and said, Sir, you are so worried. Could it be that there is an evil spirit that bites people in Chang'an?

There was no smile on the corner of the fat man's mouth. He turned and left. His deep voice was carried by the cold wind:

Cannibalism...why do we need to be evil?

Jian Yong was shocked and speechless.

After resting like this for three days, someone brought food to them every day. Jian Yong and his party also lived in seclusion, greedily enjoying the rare peace and comfort after traveling all the way.

On the fourth day, when Jian Yong got up in the morning and opened the door, he saw a layer of silver falling in the yard.

He rubbed his hands to warm his cheeks twice, then opened his mouth and exhaled Breathe out.

It's snowing...

Walking slowly in the yard with his hands behind his back, feeling the soles of his shoes squeaking against the snow, a smile slowly appeared on Jian Yong's face.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. The soldier went to the door and asked in a low voice before opening the door carefully. Jian Yong saw that kind round face again.

However, this round face no longer had a smile, only long sighs.

Jian Yong had a thought in his mind and his heart became heavy:

A lot of people froze to death?

Nodding with a kind round face, he went to the porch and sat down on his knees, staring at Bai Xue in the hall in a daze.

Jian Yong didn't say anything. He went over to sit next to him, lying on the porch and looking at the sky.

Judging from Jian Yong's own memory, more and more people freeze to death after the first snow every year. Coupled with the current war, even if the people in the north can survive as tenaciously as weeds, disasters and military disasters are coming one after another. How can weeds survive when they are uprooted from the soil?

Gong Cao came back with his troops last night. I heard that he will return to Yecheng after a day's rest.

He said in a low voice with a kind and round face:

I took care of a fellow captain of Cao's army. He was not going to Yecheng but was returning to Xudu. I happened to be traveling with him to take refuge, and I listened to what he said about Cao Gong's dispatch...

Xia Houyuan, right? Jian Yong interrupted and asked.

The kind round face looked at Jian Yong in surprise, nodded and said:

Mr. Da can determine the affairs of the world without leaving home... He ordered Xiahou Yuan to supervise Guanzhong. As expected, Duke Cao wants to take control of Chang'an. The place is safe.

Jian Yong made his request:

Then please sir, prepare dry food for me. Tomorrow is also the time when I leave for Yongliang.

Now that the first snow has fallen, sir, won't you wait any longer?

Jian Yong looked to the west and said leisurely:

Ma Mengqi is defeated again, and I will not be with him at the end of the year.

Hearing what Jian Yong said, his kind and round face was not pretentious. He nodded and left:

In that case, I wish Mr. Da will get what he wants.

The clothes and dry food needed for the trip to Yongliang will be prepared for Mr. tonight, and Xu Du's letters will also be brought personally.

Standing in the snow, the two bowed to each other, and then left without looking back.

There was light snow since the morning of the second day. Jian Yong waited until Cao Cao's army set off before staggering out of the west gate wearing a fur hat.

There was a long line of men, women, and children crouching on both sides of the road at the entrance. They were already stiff, and the snowflakes drifted in with the cold wind and did not melt away. They were regarded as the final embellishment.

Jian Yong took one last look, then held the leather hat tightly, and the group headed west into the wind and snow.

Jiangdong Dantu.

Lu Su threw Kong Ming's letter aside and felt irritated.

Apart from some empty words, this letter was exactly the same as the previous letters, urging him to take care of himself.

This made Lu Su grit his teeth: Kong Ming, if you had informed me of the situation openly, why would I have worked so hard?

Since taking over Zigui City in an unclear manner in the first half of the year, Jiangdong has basically been completely cut off from the situation in Yizhou.

At first, Lu Su believed Kong Ming's words, until the details in Jingzhou sent back news that troops in Jingzhou were constantly heading west, and grain and grass were continuously transported to the west of Jingzhou by Gongan Jiangling.

Only then did Lu Su realize that the situation was not good, but a simple checkpoint in Zigui City blocked his way to the west. Lu Su could only do his best to obey fate:

While writing a letter to question Kong Ming, he sent someone to Shu from Zangda Road in Jiaozhou to inquire about the situation.

Kong Ming replied very quickly every time, but the content was similar. He could talk about Jingzhou and Jiangdong. Xuzhou also said that he even often made suggestions for attacking Hefei, but he didn't talk about Yizhou.

As for the difficulty of walking along the Zangdao Road... it only means that it will be quick if the news can be sent back before next spring.

Therefore, although Lu Su was angry at Lu Meng for sending troops privately, but since you have already sent troops, you must bring back something valuable, right?

As a result, the report submitted by Lu Meng can be summarized in just four words:

The giant crossbow is powerful.

If it weren't for the fact that Lü Meng was Sun Quan's general and was injured when he came back that night, Lu Su would have wanted to carve this report on a slip and throw it on Lü Meng's face.

These four words were used by Marquis Sun to encourage learning?

So Bu Zhi came in and saw an angry Lu Su.

However, although Lu Su seemed unhappy, Bu Zhi knew Lu Su's character and would never show his anger to others, so he reported it openly:

General, my lord has arrived at Dantu.

Lu Su was surprised: Why haven't I received any news before?

Bu Zhi shook his head to show that he didn't know. Lu Su's mind changed quickly and he couldn't care about so much for the time being. He immediately packed up a few pieces of paper and planned to have a good talk with Sun Hou.

Dan Tu also served as a governor for a period of time, so Sun Hou also had his own palace. He almost didn't need to think about Lu Su to know where his lord was now.

When the lord was still here, Lu Su was also a frequent visitor here.

Now that the government office has been moved, although it is quite depressed, a group of guards in conspicuous uniforms stood at the door, and Lu Su knew that his lord must be here.

After checking the talisman, the guards let him go. As soon as he stepped onto the steps, Lu Su saw Lu Meng coming out.

Lu Meng's expression remained unchanged, he nodded with Lu Su and left.

Lu Su was thoughtful, and then felt a bit of toothache. At this moment, he suddenly missed Zhou Gongjin very much.

Zijing! Sun Quan laughed and climbed onto Lu Su's arm: I was about to send someone to find you, but I didn't expect you to come first.

Lu Su felt helpless and said seriously:

My Lord, you don't believe in Su?

Sun Quan was shocked: Why did you say this?

If my lord needs anything, just tell Su, and I will make plans for my lord. Lu Su warned.

He was not Zhou Gongjin, but he still wanted to save face for his lord.

Sun Quan was startled and then said angrily:

Then Liu Bei took Yizhou without telling him, and now he has established a foothold in Jiangzhou but refused to tell him. He has no faith. How can I treat him with justice?

Lu Su was helpless: Then Liu Bei'an is the master and the minister is evil?

Sun Quan said nothing, but his face was still full of dissatisfaction. Lu Su then asked again:

How did my lord know that Liu Bei was firmly in Jiangzhou?

Sun Quan pursed his lips, and Lu Su followed the direction and took out a letter from the desk at the back.

He does have good calligraphy. Lu Su praised.

The content of the letter is also simple. First, it says that Jingzhou is now empty, all the troops have been transferred to Yizhou, and now only Guan Yu is left in Jingzhou.

The second said that Liu Bei had captured Jiangzhou and advised Sun Hou to make plans early.

The third one said that Liu Bei often discussed important matters with his subordinates Wen Wu. This was an ordinary thing, but the time for the discussions was exactly three months apart, no less than one day.

This... The first thing Lu Su thought of was Mi Zhu's younger brother, but this trace was nothing like it.

Liu Bei doesn't know famous people, so it's no wonder that his heart is drawn to Jiangdong. Sun Quan smiled very reservedly, and then asked again:

What do Zijing think? Can Liu Bei take Yizhou?

Lu Su did not hesitate to answer this question:

Liu Jiyu is definitely no match for Liu Xuande, but...

Lu Su carefully recalled Gong Jin's previous intelligence collection on Yizhou, shook his head and said:

Liu Jiyu is short-sighted and weak. Although he does not have strong generals, he is rich in soldiers. If he is forced into a desperate situation, he may join forces with Zhang Lu...

Sun Quan nodded slightly. He didn't have much judgment. He simply felt that Liu Zhang was not good enough.

Also inheriting the legacy of my father and brother, I, Sun Zhong, conspired to defeat Cao Cao's thieves in a series of horizontal campaigns across the Yangtze River.

As a result, Liu Jiyu was obsessed with finding Cao Cao to sell him a good price?

Then according to Zijing's opinion, when will Liu Xuande be able to pacify Yizhou?

There is a strong city in the middle of Shu. Liu Jingzhou's long journey to attack is like a snake eating an elephant. It takes three years to get rid of its bones. It takes one year to conquer Yizhou.

Lu Su was very sure when he said this, then he took a step forward and changed his words:

General Ziming suggested that my lord attack Jiangling with a large army?

Sun Quan backed away slightly, staring at the decoration on the wall next to him, and said:

Zijing thinks that's not allowed?

Absolutely not! Lu Su said solemnly:

If we attack Jiangling and cut off the way back to Zizhou, all of Liu Jingzhou's soldiers will be in Yizhou without losing their strength, and they will have a large enemy in vain.

And if you want to conquer the world, you must first destroy Cao Cao. If you want to destroy Cao Cao, you still need Zhang Fei's courage and Zhuge's wisdom. If you betray the alliance, won't you destroy yourself from the world?

Sun Quan still didn't look at Lu Su, and looked at the scenery outside the window with his hands behind his hands. After weighing it in his mind, he suppressed the threat of Guan Yu's navy explained by Lu Meng in the bottom of his heart.

He also briefly described: Jingzhou's iron smelting method is beneficial to Jiangdong.

Lu Su nodded secretly, at least he finally knew the purpose of Lu Meng's private sending of troops. In this case, it would be easier to handle:

In the first month of the year, Su will definitely present the law of iron smelting to the lord.

Sun Quan looked deeply at Lu Su and nodded in agreement.

Lu Su still looked calm and calm when he came out of Sun Quan's house. He just pinched Lu Meng's report that he had not taken out in his sleeve, and there was still a trace of tiredness between his brows.

Lu Su approved of Lu Ziming's worried attitude, but why was he so eager for quick success?

Returning to his office, Bu Zhi submitted a letter:

General Jingzhou Guan sent a letter.

Lu Su opened the letter and raised his eyebrows.

Repair a book for me. If you agree, it will be a one-on-one meeting.

It’s already November, and you can feel the slight chill in Baishui Pass.

After washing up in the dark, Liu Feng sat quietly in his room and waited for military orders.

They were told to go to bed early last night because they had to get up early today.

In the darkness, Mi Fang couldn't bear the loneliness at first, and laughed softly:

Ma Deserter, if you want to escape, just hide yourself in the bed board now. It will be safest for you to come out and escape after the army leaves.

Ma Su was too lazy to pay attention and just chi in the dark.

Mi Fang continued: Last time you were at Baishui Pass, you could scare the two of you into fighting with a white stick dipped in lime. I can see clearly.

Ma Su said angrily: You have a brother, and so-and-so has a brother, but I didn't write to my brother to plead for mercy or complain!

In the darkness, Mi Fang, who had never received a reply, blushed, but then laughed at herself like a deflated ball:

If someone dies on the battlefield, my brother should be relieved.

Liu Feng frowned and felt noisy: Are you done yet? Save your energy.

After a moment of silence in the darkness, Ma Di asked:

Master Liu still doesn't want to tell why he is here?

Liu Feng’s words were brief and powerful:

You know that only by killing the enemy and gaining merit can you become a good man!

Ma Su stopped talking.

At this time, someone outside shouted:

Assemble at the school grounds and send troops to Hanzhong!

3 words, the second chapter will be late tonight, I will try my best to make up for what I owed yesterday.
