Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

Ten sidecars were placed in the courtyard of the inn.

There is also a strange wooden cow and wooden horse...

This restaurant named Changxin was booked by a team of merchants from Jiaozhi County, Jiaozhou.

Originally this was just an ordinary thing.

But because of today, the first test of skills under the Shengsheng Bridge...

For a time, this group of merchants suddenly became famous, and many people wanted to live in this Changxin restaurant, with various purposes, to have cordial conversations with this group of merchants.

only…

Changxin Restaurant has been booked a long time ago, so where else can people stay?

Some of the visitors... did not see these merchants, shook their heads, and went home with disappointed looks.

Some people were standing around the Changxin restaurant, glancing in from time to time, as if they had something profound to say.

The waiter also brought two jars of wine as if to please him and strode to You Tanzhi's room.

The shopkeeper seemed to be a literati, and specially asked the waiter to learn a few poems, and recited them while serving wine.

——Set wine in the high hall, friends and relatives will come with me! The Chinese kitchen will serve a sumptuous meal, and the sheep will be cooked and the fattened cattle will be slaughtered!

——Your Majesty, our shopkeeper asked you to come downstairs and said that the mutton is ready, waiting for your Majesty to enjoy it.

——And this fine wine, should we bring it up to the guests, or come down to drink it?

Hearing the wine, You Tanzhi walked out of the room, picked up the wine bottle and smelled it, showing an intoxicated look.

I couldn't help but sigh, It smells so good, mellow and sweet, like wine from the north!

Your Majesty, you have good eyesight... the waiter Dui agreed with a smile.

At this moment, You Tanzhi found something under the lid of the wine flask. It was a small note. He thought it was specially left for him by the waiter, so he immediately unfolded it...

Because the speed was too fast, the waiter didn't notice it, but when he saw the words on it, You Tanzhi couldn't help being startled and quickly put away the note.

The waiter's voice continued.

My shopkeeper admires your guest as a businessman who travels all over the world. Can you please give me a favor...

You Tanzhi blurted out his words without waiting for the waiter to finish his words, No reward, which was completely contrary to his usual smiling image during the day.

He ignored the waiter and hurried out to the backyard.

Arriving at the courtyard, You Tanzhi looked around with a somewhat wary expression.

But here, apart from the ordnance, there is nothing else.

About to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, there was a crunch, and the wooden cow and the flowing horse seemed to have been touched by something, making a crisp sound.

You Tanzhi quickly turned around, and a woman walked out from behind Mu Niu and Liuma.

Wearing a hood and cloak, she stared at the merchant from Jiaozhou.

You Tanzhi's cautious and doubtful eyes met the woman's sharp and expectant eyes.

You TanZhi couldn't help but take a step back, while the woman took a step forward.

How many of these are there? Please give me a price!

Accompanied by this crisp sound.

The woman gently took off her hood. It was Lu Xun's wife, Sun Ru.

Her eyes were electric...and she held a pen in her hand.

It was as if the note under the lid of the flask was specially written by her.

The text above is extremely sharp - Your Excellency is so high-profile and all you want is money. I have money? Why don't you talk about it in the backyard?

As Sun Ce’s daughter;

As a master who is good at assassination and shadow arrow.

It is not difficult to lurk here and find a way to put the note in front of You Tanzhi.

The difficult thing is to lead tourists to come out...

The difficult part is to convince You Tanzhi to sell them this sidecar, this serial crossbow, and this wooden cow and horse!

I have no choice but to ask Mr. You to meet me in such an abrupt way, but... my little girl needs these weapons very much. Mr. You, please give me a price!

She repeated her purpose for coming...

As she finished speaking, You Tanzhi seemed to become more relaxed.

He just asked lightly:

——I don't know, which way are you friends?

…

…

In Jiangling City, there is a luxurious mansion in the east of the city.

The courtyard with seven entrances and seven exits shows that the people living there must be either rich or noble.

At this moment, the middle door of the mansion is wide open.

According to the common practice of such a large family, unless it is to welcome someone of high status, the middle door is generally not opened and the main hall is not entered.

There are distinguished guests coming to this house today.

Ever since the busy scene at Victory Bridge at noon, many people began to pour into the house and go straight to the main hall.

now…

Although there was still the afterglow outside, the candles were already burning brightly in the main hall, under the light.

An old man in his sixties was pacing while closing his eyes in deep thought.

Tap...tap!

The sound of crisp footsteps resounded on the bluestone floor as smooth as a mirror, and the long beard under the chin moved automatically in the absence of wind!

In front of him, there were some younger and more impulsive men, not necessarily young, they all looked to be over 10 years old.

One of them cursed...

Such a good opportunity, such good ordnance? Can others buy it? Our scholar family? Why can't we buy it?

This man's name is Shizhi, and he is one of the many sons of the governor of the seven counties of Jiaozhou.

Next to him, there are Shi Hui and Shi Gan, these are his younger brothers.

And the old man in his sixties is today's distinguished guest, his uncle Wei, the prefect of Jiuzhen County.

This time, Shi came to Jiangling to stop by for a day's rest. His ultimate goal was Gongan County and he wanted to conduct a secret arms deal with Fu Shiren.

——Purchase some ordnance!

Jiaozhou is located on the border and is extremely lacking in both iron and forging skills.

Therefore, similar to arms and ordnance, scholars naturally have to purchase them from other places.

But...

Even three years ago, Shi Bian, the head of the Shi family, completely surrendered to Sun Quan and Jiaozhou became a vassal of Soochow. However, the vassals of Soochow often ended badly.

Sun Quan was always on guard against them.

Not to mention weapons, even soldiers and horses have strict restrictions.

That is to say, Shi Bian himself had a peaceful mind and did not like war. Otherwise... he still had tens of thousands of troops under his command, how could he let Sun Quan bully him?

But at this time...

Shi Zhi's words aroused widespread discussion.

His younger brothers Shi Hui and Shi Qian said respectively: Yes, Sun Quan's son is only over thirty years old, and his father is over seventy. He still needs to bow to him and pay tribute every year... Isn't he just relying on Soochow? Are the military supplies, weapons, and armor sufficient? If our soldiers are fully equipped...how can we allow him to ride on our necks and dominate us?

In my opinion, today's repeating crossbow is quite good. Ten shots from the crossbow can kill an ox in an instant. Once it is fully equipped, I may not be able to advance aggressively in Jiaozhou, but it is more than enough to defend the city. In this way, we will be able to If you are not afraid of that little Sun Quan, let’s see if he still dares to...mention that rude request!

The so-called unreasonable demands...

It refers to the large amounts of pearls, shells, glass, jade, tortoise shells, rhinoceros horns, ivory, a large number of rare and exotic fruits, and even many fine horses that Dai Shibian paid Sun Quan as tribute every year.

Can…

Even under such a general premise.

Sun Quan still forced Shibian to agree.

The northern part of Jiaozhou (that is, Guangdong) was assigned to Sun Quan, and Sun Quan sent Bu Zhi to manage it.

The southern part of Jiaozhou (now the northern part of Vietnam) is still a returnee...

Belongs to a vassal genus and has autonomy.

To know.

At first...this incident caused a huge stir in Jiaozhou.

Many people in Jiaozhou felt that Sun Quan was greedy and the snake swallows the elephant... Shibian's godson even threatened not to give in.

It's just that the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is very basic...

There are soldiers in Jiaozhou, but they have no weapons. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice...

How can we resist Sun Quan's army?

No, Shibian was forced to give up the northern part of Jiaozhou due to coercion.

In this way, his title of Governor of the Seven Counties exists in name only.

Over the years, as he grew older, Shibian gradually lost his ambition to regain the lost land, and just settled down willingly.

But in fact, his sons and his younger brother are not satisfied with the status quo.

In fact, Sun Quan was not satisfied with the status quo.

Sun Quan planned to take over the entire Jiaozhou after his death.

In fact, this is indeed the case...

In the future, scholars will live to be ninety years old before passing away.

Sun Quan immediately took some extraordinary measures and successfully forced all the sons of Shibian to rebel. After that... these sons were predictably and bloodyly suppressed by Sun Quan.

Of course, this is all for later.

At this moment, brothers Shi Zhi, Shi Hui, and Shi Qian looked at their uncle Shi with eager eyes, as if they were waiting for him to make up his mind.

The ordnance I encountered by chance in Jiangling City this time.

There are sidecars for fighting cavalry, repeating crossbows for shooting enemies at mid-range, and muliu oxen and horses for transporting grain and grass...

Isn't this... enough?

Isn't it worth taking action?

Fu Shiren's weapons...are nothing more than inferior weapons and armors.

The price is not cheap…

But can those... be compared with the artifacts we saw today?

Ahem...

Finally, under the expectant eyes of his nephews, Shi opened his mouth, I'm just worried that your father... he doesn't want to be involved in this turbulent war in his life...

Before he could finish speaking...

Shi Zhi opened his mouth and said: My father is a vassal of Sun Quan, and Taishi Ci is also a vassal of Sun Quan. Isn't Taishi Ci's lesson learned enough? The ambition of this son of Sun Quan is obvious... He just wants to kill my father, and then annex the entire Jiaozhou ! Humph...Uncle, dad is quite young, but uncle is still here and we are still here, will our scholar family be allowed to be slaughtered by others?

As Shi Zhi said, in the chaotic era of the late Han Dynasty, vassals were very dangerous, and few vassals could stay safe from one force!

Sun Quan naturally had this idea regarding Jiaozhou.

However, as mentioned before, he did not choose to resort to force, but used another method.

You know, Shibian was born in 137. He was eighteen years older than Cao Cao, twenty-four years older than Liu Bei, and forty-five years older than Sun Quan.

When he became a vassal to Sun Quan, Sun Quan was twenty-eight years old and he was already seventy-three years old.

As far as Sun Quan is concerned, this old man is already seventy-three years old. Do we still need to conquer him?

Didn’t he pass away within a few years?

By then, wouldn’t it be a matter of course to capture the southern part of Jiaozhou?

As a result, the longer Sun Quan waited, the more disappointed he became.

Historically, Sun Quan demarcated the Xiang River and obtained three counties in Changsha. This old man was seventy-nine years old and still healthy;

Four years later, Sun Quan killed Guan Yu and took the entire Jingzhou. The old man was eighty-three and was still alive.

After the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei was entrusted by the White Emperor, and Liu Bei died, but this old man, eighty-seven, is still alive!

Sun Quan was confused at this time. How could anyone in the world be able to serve as a vassal for thirty years? Sun Quan probably thought that he was shallow and naive. If he had known that he would have taken action when he was twenty-eight years old, he would have completely taken over Jiaozhou. middle.

It was not until he was ninety years old that Shibian died, and Sun Quan also began the bloodbath against Shibian's family.

Of course, after such a long time, the people of the Shi family will not be without feelings or reactions...

However, as the old saying goes, Jiaozhou is extremely lacking in iron and forging skills, and the only two neighboring states are Jing and Yang.

Long pondering...

Finally, a group of nephews expressed their feelings over and over again.

As soon as Shi clenched his fist, he seemed to have finally made a decision.

——Huh, bear it! You can't bear it for a few more lifetimes!

——Today I will make this decision for my brother. No matter what the price of this batch of ordnance, our scholar family wants it!

——I don't have anything else to pay to the Zhoushi family. The poor ones only have money!

Yes, the Shi family has been avoiding trouble in Jiaozhou since Wang Mang's rebellion. After six generations, its reputation and financial resources are second to none in Jiaozhou.

In this wave of arms competition, their scholars will either not take action, or if they do, they will definitely win!

…

…

The sun has set in the west, and the sunset is scorching.

Outside the study room of the Guan Family Mansion, the Guan Family Army guards stood solemnly.

The windows and doors have long been closed, and countless lights illuminate the study room like daylight.

Guan Yu and Ma Liang were sitting on the seats.

Guan Xing and Guan Yinping stood, foaming at the mouth and gesticulating with their hands. The brother and sister were talking passionately about the sidecars and the array of cars under the Shengsheng Bridge during the day. magic.

My daughter carefully inspected it and found that the sidecar was by no means simple. Although it was made of wooden boards, it was made of many pieces of wood and iron. It was as solid as a rock... Later, my daughter thought about it carefully, but she still thought about it. I can’t accurately tell the material of this sidecar, and even... if there are no manufacturing drawings, I’m afraid the wooden boards it’s made from will not be so strong.”

Guan Yinping's implication is... This sidecar looks simple, but if you really want to imitate it, there are many problems that need to be solved.

The first thing that bears the brunt is the rock-like solidity.

You need to know how powerful the impact of the cavalry is?

Hundreds and thousands of cavalry charged, and ordinary wooden boards were suddenly reduced to slag.

The material of the convertible van...

Guan Yinping has a feeling that this cannot be broken through with just the number of cavalry!

The design of this sidecar is... very particular!

My child feels... Guan Xing added, The fender of this sidecar is definitely not just made of wood. If the child's Qinglong Yanyue Sword struck with all his strength, if it were pure wood, it would not be completely damaged at all, or even damaged. The child's Qinglong Sword even broke the tiny teeth... Such a skill is truly ingenious.

Since I plan to buy this sidecar...

Guan Yu and Ma Liang naturally wanted to summon Guan Xing and Guan Yinping to inquire in detail about the details of the attack and defense of this formation.

Guan Yu was a little naive.

He felt that it would be good if it could be imitated.

You can save a lot of money on food.

But now, according to Guan Yinping and Guan Xing, this road of imitation is probably completely dead.

From here to there, the sidecar is like this, the repeating crossbow is like this, the wooden cow and the horse are like this... No wonder the merchant is so confident.

It seems that this money has to be spent!

Ma Liang, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes slightly and pondered for a moment, focusing on another part.

There is often a rule in wood art manufacturing, that is, the name of the inventor will be engraved on the finished product...Second Young Master and Third Young Lady, have you noticed the name tag on this sidecar?

As Ma Liang said...

For example, from the late Spring and Autumn Period to the early Warring States Period, many woodcrafts made by Luban would be engraved with Made by Luban.

In the north, Cao Cao has a special workshop, which is generally engraved with Made by Liu Ye, Made by Ma Jun, Made by Hao Zhao! .

This is an unwritten agreement left by our ancestors in the field of woodcraft and equipment manufacturing.

Ma Liang wanted to dig out some clues about the people behind and the forces behind the manufacturing of these weapons.

really…

After thinking for a while, Guan Yinping seemed to recall something.

It really has a name.

She was deeply impressed by the magic of this sidecar.

However, this weird name caused a slight change in Guan Yinping's cheeks.

yes…

Don't wait for Guan Yinping to speak.

It seemed that Guan Yu suddenly thought of something because he saw the change in his daughter's face. He suddenly raised his voice and interrupted Guan Yinping's words.

——Could it be that 'Hong Qigong' made it?

It's not Hong Qigong. Guan Yinping immediately shook her head, and then she said with great certainty, What is engraved on it is...'Made by Huang Laoxie'!

——Huang Laoxie? make?

As soon as the name came out, Guan Yu and Ma Liang looked at each other, and their eyes subconsciously became full of intriguing colors.

Is this a wave that has not subsided yet again?

The emergence of Hong Qigong caused an uproar in Jiangling City and triggered changes in the current situation.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the next ten years, Hong Qigong's influence was far-reaching.

But now...

Huang Laoxie? Another Huang Laoxie appears?

Who is this?

——Who is so sacred?
