Chapter 520 Cao Cao Was Defeated and Yuan Shao Became King

Although it is said that it is the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, but the homeland is becoming more and more peaceful. Bandits and bandits are all the targets of military training. After half a year of suppression, there are very few bandits.

After more than half a year of recruitment and training, the total force now has reached more than 400,000, of which there are as many as 50,000 cavalry, and even trained a lot of sailors, there are already 60,000 horses and hundreds of warships .

As for the generals, although they are still a little weaker, the thousands of well-trained generals have also achieved some results. Forty or fifty of them can barely take charge on their own. At least it should not be a big problem to defend the city...

However, the news from the north was not so good. Liu Bei was still defeated. If Ma Teng from Xiliang hadn't rescued him, he would have been eaten alive by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's army. That's right, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao actually got together, and the emperor was used as a bargaining chip...

This change was really unexpected, and Yuan Shao was even more powerful, occupying the land of five continents, with more than 800,000 soldiers, almost dominating the Yellow River Basin. Now, after all, the army is going west to destroy Ma Teng in Liangzhou. If it succeeds, it is very likely that they will go south to attack Xuzhou with the momentum of victory...

...

"My lord's imperial court sent an edict!" Dozens of people in the hall were having a meeting, and Xu Shu took out a copy of the emperor's edict and presented it.

"Yuan Shao also plays this trick?"

"Such a convenient excuse will naturally be used!"

The content of the edict was actually to promote him, to confer the title of general, and even to confer a duke for an unprecedented time. It's just that Yuan Shao got himself a prince, so it's worth not mentioning this. However, some content is worth noting. Sun Ce, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang are all relegated to thieves who committed chaos. Let Li Yunfei judge Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Ce of Eastern Wu, and he will go to Xiliang, Hanzhong, Xichuan and other places, and after the matter is completed, he will be crowned king...

Yuan Shao is countless times more straightforward than Cao Cao, and his meaning is very obvious. Although he will definitely go south after he has dealt with Liangzhou and got Hanzhong Xichuan and other places, but he still doesn't want to start a war with himself until those two places are settled... …

"My lord Sun Ce, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang's envoys have come together, hoping to form an alliance with my lord and go north to crusade Yuan thief."

"Are they here hand in hand?"

"Exactly!"

"Everyone, let's talk about your opinions."

"...My lord, we haven't finished training the naval army, and it's not easy for Sun Wu of Jingzhou to open up, so the last general thinks I should go north!" Seeing that no one dared to speak first, Hu Yi stood up and said.

"My lord, I think it's not right to go north. Although I have more than 400,000 armored soldiers in Xuzhou, Yuan Shao's troops are more than twice as strong as ours. We should stick to the city and wait and see what happens."

"My lord, I have a good friend who went to Jiangxia alone a few days ago and persuaded Huang Zu to vote!" Xu Shu stood up and said.

"Yuan Zhi, is your friend Mr. Kong Ming?" Li Yunfei asked knowingly.

"It's Kong Ming!"

"Where is Kong Ming now?" Li Yunfei really didn't know where Kong Ming went, and he didn't know how the old nine lost him. I have to say that Kong Ming did have some means, even the specially trained tiger guards could do it. Lost someone.

At that time, he thought that Kong Ming had gone back to his Longzhong, but unexpectedly, he gave him a meeting gift first. There is also a reason why Huang Zu came to vote, because Sun Jian was shot to death by Huang Zu's chaos at the beginning. Now that Sun Ce and Liu Biao make peace, Huang Zu will inevitably be abandoned. It is not too big to persuade Huang Zu with Zhuge Liang's eloquence Difficult.

"Kong Ming has gone back to Longzhong to farm, but he left a strategy for the lord, saying that he wished the lord an early peace in the world."

"Uh, I really went back. This Kong Ming is really hypocritical, but I really can't invite him in person now. If Yuan Zhi goes to invite him, can he be sure to invite him back?"

It would be fine to ask for a few times if you have time, but now I really can't get away, so I can only ask others to do it for me.

"When he left, his subordinates tried to persuade him for a long time, but the effect was minimal, so even if the subordinates went there in person, it would not have much effect..."

"Father, there is someone in my daughter's account who can try it!" Lu Lingqi suddenly stood up, she is also an official female general now, so she is also qualified to attend the meeting, but although she is only accompanying the last seat, everyone is still very polite to her Yes, this is the jewel in the palm of the lord's eye.

"...No, no, I'd better wait for a while, after our army can gain a foothold in Jingzhou, I will go there again in person!"

If Huang Zu came to vote, then Liu Biao and Sun Ce must not continue to form an alliance, so they really have to join forces with Yuan Shao temporarily. Of course, it is necessary to take some precautions, especially not to lose Xuzhou.

The strategy was quickly formulated. The north was strictly on the defensive, and the south began to prepare for the attack. First, Jingzhou was taken. The land here is fertile, the transportation is convenient, and the population is large enough to support millions of soldiers if well developed...

However, in order to prevent Chen Gong, Gao Shun and others from leaving for too long and giving birth to some unnecessary thoughts, they mobilized a large group of troops to switch defenses. Although these two were subordinates who lived and died together in history, it is still a bit dangerous for them to have an absolute foundation of self-reliance, and pigs can compete against themselves. Even if they are loyal and have no other intentions, there will always be some caring people in their subordinates who will continue to persuade and advise them.

"Huyi, Longwu, each of you lead an army of 50,000 to the north to defend Xuzhou. Please ask Chen Junshi and General Gao Shun to go south to help me capture Jingzhou."

"promise!"

"Yuanzhi, you also went north with the army, temporarily leading Xuzhou Mu, and taking charge of all government affairs in Xuzhou... Xuzhou is my rear area, so I'll leave it to you!"

"Understood, my subordinates will do their best to protect Xuzhou for the lord...and ask the lord to take care of my old mother for me!" It is of course an excellent thing that there is a promotion. But as a sensible person, he certainly understands what Li Yunfei is worried about, so if he wants to go north to Xuzhou, he will leave his old mother in Wancheng to show his center.

"Yuan Zhi, don't worry, with me here, your family will be safe!" He patted him on the shoulder and gave him a reassurance. Xu Shu was indeed a sensible person, which made Li Yunfei a little embarrassed.

"Thank you so much, my lord. If there is nothing wrong, I will leave first and go back to prepare!"

"Wait, I have a sharp weapon for defending the city, you can bring it...Come here, bring up my three-bow bed crossbow." Li Yunfei greeted the outside, and when he heard Li Yunfei's call, the two hurriedly took the A rather huge bed crossbow was brought in.

For a while, everyone was curious. It was the first time everyone had seen such a strange weapon.

"Father, is this bow worn backwards?" Lu Lingqi leaned over, and when she saw the bow that was worn backwards, she also asked, which revealed everyone's doubts.

"Of course not, I personally watched the making of this bed crossbow!"

"My lord, what is so magical about this bed crossbow?" Xu Zhe was also a little surprised, what is the benefit of this bow installed backwards.

"Well, this bed crossbow weighs a total of 150 catties. It is made of three four-stone strong bows. The traction is so huge that a winch is needed to wind it. Because this bow is installed backwards, the strings can be drawn through the pulley here, and the first two strong bows can be superimposed. The speed of the bow is added to the original speed of the bow, so the speed of the arrow shot is more than double that of the normal crossbow. This bed crossbow has been tested, and the arrow can be shot a thousand steps away. The weight of the arrow is one and a half catties, and it can still shoot through thick armor at a distance of 400 steps..." It took several days of experimentation to make a successful bed crossbow, and Li Yunfei was quite satisfied, this bed crossbow has indeed reached the level of a weapon. The pinnacle.

"It's really great!"

"My lord is truly a god-man!"

"If a row of crossbows like this were placed on the top of the city, and the enemy invaded, half of them would be dead before reaching the bottom of the city..."

"Yes, but it is a weapon for defending the city!"

Everyone talked endlessly, lamenting the power of the bed crossbow, but Lu Lingqi kept spinning around the bed crossbow.

"Girl, what are you doing?" Li Yunfei knocked on Lu Lingqi's helmet and asked.

"Father, I think the bed crossbow is too big. We can make the bed crossbow in half and cancel the heavy shelf below. In this way, the whole bed crossbow weighs only thirty or forty catties. Usually one People can carry it on their backs, and it is convenient to carry it on a horse. Two people can use it together. According to the deputy commander, the range will be very good. In this way, we can completely form a strong crossbow team for field battles... "

"Miss is really a genius, worthy of being the daughter of the lord!"

"Yes! Yes! Miss is a genius!"

There was a lot of flattery for a while, and Li Yunfei was a little surprised to be honest. In fact, he also thought about making a small three-bow crossbow for field battles. He didn't expect his daughter to think of this first, and he really had a good idea.

"It's a very good proposal, so I leave this small three-bow crossbow to you!"

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, I will definitely work hard to get things done." It was the first time she showed her face in front of so many people, to win over her father, Lu Lingqi was also quite excited, she was self-willed, and her father spoiled her , I really support myself as a female general, which is actually not good for my father's reputation. But now that he has shown his intelligence and ability, no one will say that his father spoils him too much...

"Very good, feel free to ask me if there is anything you don't understand." In fact, Li Yunfei really dotes on Lu Lingqi, as long as she sees her happy, he will feel good.

...

The reception of Jiang Xia was generally very smooth. The only flaw was that one of the little leaders, Gan Ning, suddenly came out with a team of people. His superiors surrendered. Tiger Guard was captured alive.

He was just cursing and saying that he was singled out if he had the guts, but Li Yunfei gave him an old punch and almost couldn't even recognize his parents, but he still kept his mouth shut, saying that he was not good at land combat and riding, and that if he had the guts, he would be better than him. Tried the water battle, but was dragged into the water by Li Yunfei and almost drowned. Finally, he was frightened and stopped clamoring.

Then Li Yunfei also played with a series of methods of applying medicine by himself, healing wounds, etc., and managed to subdue this guy in just a few days. Although this guy is full of gangster spirit, he is also very courageous, so he should be taught well He is also a tiger general. I believe that in the future, using that kind of brainwashing-like education will also be able to get rid of his gangster spirit, and he will be able to lead the navy at that time.
