Chapter 426 Cao Xing Gave a Thumbs up, but It Doesn't Necessarily Mean He's Praising You! [Ask for Monthly Votes]
"I just want to save some shells!"
Cao Xing muttered and put down the megaphone in his hand. He said every day that I was wasting artillery shells, but you are much more extravagant than me.
Soon, several artillery pieces were pushed over. Cao Xing gave a thumbs up to the city gate tower and began to estimate the distance.
On the city gate tower in the distance, several young generals from the same clan as Wang Yun had sneers on their faces:
"To try to make us surrender is to overestimate the influence of the imperial court in Taiyuan."
"Yes, unless the entire Taiyuan Wang clan is wiped out, don't expect us to surrender!"
"Hey, that barking military commander just now gave us a thumbs up. He also knows that the Wang family will not submit to these court eagle dogs, right?"
"It must be so. How can the Wang family's pride and glory be compared to these imperial eagle dogs?"
"Inform you all to take precautions and make Qixian County the burial place of Lu Bu. At that time, I will use his dog head to pay homage to my uncle and comfort my uncle's spirit in heaven!"
"..."
Lu Bu took off his sunglasses, filled his mouth with a Snickers bar, chewed it, and urged Cao Xing:
"We're still waiting for dinner after entering the city. If you delay any longer, Gao Shun and Meng Qi will take a detour from Jiuze."
After capturing Zhongdu County, in order to catch up with the progress, Gao Shun and Xun You took Ma Chao, Hao Zhao and others to the other end of Zhaoyuqi in the south of Taiyuan County to attack Zishi, Pingtao and Daling counties, while Lu Bu led Cao Xing He and Zhang Xiu attacked the three counties of Qixian, Yangyi and Yuci.
After each captured the target county, the troops from both sides agreed to meet in Jinyang.
Of course, it is also possible that the three parties gathered together and Zhang Liao and Cheng Yu's troops came from the north. Although there has been no news, according to Lu Bu's inference, they should be arriving soon.
The three parties attacked Jinyang together and gave the Wang family the highest respect.
While Cao Xing was adjusting the artillery data, Zhang Xiu squatted aside and watched carefully, wondering how this thing exerted its power.
After adjusting the elevation parameters, Cao Xing took out the angle meter and looked at it. After confirming that there was no problem, he put a primer into the gun barrel and filled it with a sparkling bullet.
When everything was ready, he lit a Liqun, took a deep puff, and then lit the fuse with the cigarette butt.
"Bah..."
The fuse wrapped with gunpowder burned quickly, and soon the primer in the barrel exploded violently, making a loud noise and sending out billowing smoke.
The city gate tower in the distance was suddenly exploded, and several Wang family generals in the city gate tower were blown to pieces and scattered all over the ground.
Cao Xing continued to adjust the artillery, preparing to hit the enemy twice more. Song Xian picked up the megaphone:
"Damn it, Bazi, are you going to surrender? The next bomb will start blasting into the city, and your wives, children, and parents will all be blown up until you can't even dig them out of the wall!"
This guy kept scolding and refused to listen. After scolding the Wang family, he scolded the soldiers on the wall:
"The Wang family is seeking death, trying to use the mantis as a chariot. What are you doing? The Wang family deserves to be punished. Do you also want to be punished by the Yi tribe?"
Cao Xing took a puff of cigarette and said to Song Xian:
"I was originally planning to surrender, but after being scolded by you, I might take up arms and fight to the end."
Song Xian chuckled:
"Hitting your child on a rainy day is just free time. Let's get rid of it with a few curses first...Xiu'er, do you want to scream?"
Ever since he was incorporated into Lu Bu's cavalry, the young general Zhang Xiu has become everyone's favorite.
Although Zhang Xiu protested many times, everyone still went their own way and learned the rogue side of Lu Bu vividly.
Zhang Xiu went to Lu Bu to make a report. General Hussar listened carefully to his complaint, threw him a few packs of Snickers bars to replenish his strength, and then said:
"Don't worry Xiu'er, I'll teach them a lesson later!"
Okay, this confession is in vain... By now, Zhang Xiu has become accustomed to everyone's address.
He heard that there was a guy named Shi Xiu in another world, who was also called Xiu'er by his colleagues... They were both fallen people from the end of the world. He didn't know if there would be a chance to meet and communicate in this life.
While Song Xian was cursing, Cao Xing fired two more cannons at the city wall, killing the souls of the soldiers in the city. Soon, the city gates opened wide and the soldiers surrendered one after another.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiu immediately got on his horse and rushed towards the east city gate while using the walkie-talkie to contact the cavalry over there:
"Did anyone rush out?"
"General Qi, a dozen carriages and a hundred cavalrymen just came out, and they were all captured!"
Before attacking the city, Lu Bu had already asked the cavalry to tie up their pockets. Once someone rushes out of the city, they must capture them no matter which direction they escape from.
Lu Bu entered the city on horseback and saw the county magistrate here, who was Wang Yun's disciple. He was angrily scolding the soldiers who bound him.
Song Xian rode over, slapped the county magistrate twice, and then scolded the soldiers who tied up the county magistrate:
"You're just going to let him scold you? Go back. If he's not good at eloquence, you'll do it. If he's tough, you'll beat his family. If he has a strong self-esteem, you'll attack his flaws..."
Cao Xing pouted:
"Damn, we are obviously the army of justice, but we behave like villains... General, I'm going to prepare food. What are we going to eat today? Can we have hot and sour minced pork noodles?"
Lu Bu looked at the population information presented by the county chief register and said:
"Whatever, first appease the people, allocate all the land occupied by the Wang family, and distribute some food from the big families in the city and the treasury. Winter is coming, don't let everyone go hungry."
Cao Xing made arrangements immediately, and Song Xian stopped fanning the flames and led a group of soldiers to start counting the food in the treasury.
Drone squads began monitoring the entire city, searching for granaries.
Aristocratic families like to build granaries in their backyards, thinking that they are undetected, but in front of drones, there is no way to hide.
Soon, breakfast was ready, and Lu Bu was holding a bowl of hot and sour minced meat noodles, eating it with Mukezhai's flatbread, and reading the county annals.
Everywhere you go, you must understand the people's livelihood conditions to avoid conflict with local customs.
We are here to liberate the people, not to cause trouble for them.
After reading the county annals, he looked through the files of recent years and quickly found a bunch of unjust, false and wrongful convictions that cost human lives.
Lu Bu handed the file to Zhang Xiu:
"After dinner, we went to find these victims. We first understood the situation, and then we attacked several wealthy families in the city... This is not easy. We must handle these matters properly, lest we take away these wealthy families and retaliate against the people."
"I obey my orders!"
Zhang Xiu took the file and planned to deal with it after dinner.
Lu Bu took a bite of the flatbread, took a sip of the hot and sour noodle soup, and then asked:
"How is your uncle doing in Hanzhong?"
"Since entering Hanzhong, my uncle took the initiative to make friends with several local families, recruited some children of well-performing aristocratic families, recruited some officials from the followers of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, abolished exorbitant taxes, and recruited civilians to repair the roads in the city and widen the roads. Drainage channels, the administrative center of Nanzheng has been given a new look.”
Zhang Ji, a reckless man, still has some brains... Lu Bu said:
"By next year at the latest, your uncle will be transferred out of Hanzhong and either join the army or become an official in the court. Hanzhong is the bridgehead for the attack on Yizhou and needs more capable people to run it."
Zhang Xiu himself knows this:
"The court won't treat my uncle badly, right?"
"That's definitely not the case, but Hanzhong's position is too important, and your uncle's abilities are limited...Liu Yan of Yizhou now travels in the emperor's chariot, wears the emperor's crown, and wears the twelve crowns. He is just short of becoming emperor, so he must hurry up Clean him up so he won’t have too many nightmares.”
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu was still paying attention to the situation in Yizhou when he was fighting in Taiyuan County. Zhang Xiu put down his chopsticks and asked:
"Marquis Wen, can I follow you when we attack Yizhou?"
"Okay, I'll leave the cavalry to you when the time comes, but before entering the Chengdu Plain, the road is not easy to walk. Fortunately, there are explosives, so we can blow up all the way."
The two chatted for a while, and when they were about to finish eating, Zhang Xiu lowered his voice and said:
"When Li Su went to Yizhou in disguise, he happened to walk across from me. He claimed to be Wang Yun's nephew. In order to avoid being pursued by the court, he went to Yizhou to join Liu Yan and refused to admit that he was Li Su."
"You didn't ask further, did you?"
"No, I gave him more than ten gold cakes. He said he was going to find a man named Zhang Song. Who is Zhang Song?"
He is a guy comparable to Gaode Navigation... Lu Bu said casually:
"Famous people from Yizhou have better memories."
Zhang Song presented the map of Yizhou twenty years later. Even if he could be found now, the map would most likely not be drawn yet, so everything could only be done through exploration.
Compared to the map, Lu Bu currently cares more about the talents in Yizhou.
The road to Yizhou can be searched bit by bit using drones, but talents cannot do this. They need to keep visiting. If Li Su can find Yan Yan and others, it will be considered a great achievement.
After the meal, everyone got busy in the county town. At noon, Lu Bu came to the real world, just in time for breakfast here.
Mu Guiying greeted warmly:
"Junior brother, come and have something to eat?"
"Thank you, senior sister. Pengju is here too. Are you going to shoot a promotional video for the racecourse?"
"Yes, will Marquis Wen go?"
Lu Bu served himself a bowl of spicy soup and a small basket of fried dough sticks, and said while eating:
"You go ahead. We have just captured Qixian County and have to be busy for a while... If I can't wait any longer, I will go to the horse farm to see the modern horse breeding technology."
These words reminded Li Yu of Chen Meiliang's request:
"Help me find some good stallions in the Three Kingdoms. Can Chitu's parents still be found?"
If you can get them and breed a few red rabbit horses, even if you can't bring glory to the country, you can at least give the generals in the book world a few more excellent mounts.
Lu Bu said:
"We have to ask Huangfu Song to help us find them. Dong Zhuo got a lot of good horses from Xiliang. I'll ask later."
In addition to the Three Kingdoms world, we also try our best to find famous horses in the Sui, Tang, and Water Margin worlds. If there are stallions, we can mass-train a batch of mounts through the racecourse.
Thinking that our generals are all riding famous horses such as Red Rabbit, Hunhong Beast, and Tuxue Wuzui, the scene must be very touching.
After the meal, Lu Bu took away all the leftovers to satisfy Cao Xing, Song Xian and the others, and cheered everyone up. After taking Jinyang, he took away five tons of pork to satisfy the soldiers' greed.
After he left, Li Yu drove Mu Guiying, Yue Fei and Yuwen Chengdu down the mountain. After meeting Wu Song, they all headed to the Longqi Mountain Scenic Area.
The video can't be shot until the afternoon. I'll get used to it this morning and choose the horse I want to ride.
Arriving at the racecourse, a group of foals were having fun in the water-sprinkled martial arts arena, led by their mare.
These little ponies were about a few months old. They were chasing and playing with each other on the wet sand. Their cute looks immediately attracted the Queen:
"Wow, they are so cute. Can I ride them later?"
Li Yu smiled bitterly:
"These foals are the treasures of the racecourse. You can't even touch them, let alone ride them."
Yuwen Chengdu bought two packs of carrot sticks, carried them to the Akhal Tekin horse that was kept in solitary confinement, and fed it one by one. The guy rubbed his head against Yuwen Chengdu while eating.
The fur on its body is shiny and shiny, like silk.
Mu Guiying turned around and when she saw this scene, she quickly took out her mobile phone and took a photo:
"I'll play it to Hunhong Beast when I get back, and I'll tell you that you cheated..."
Yuwen Chengdu said dumbfounded:
"Just feed it some carrots. This guy has a bad temper and can't eat snacks... Has the Third Master chosen the mount you want to ride?"
"I have chosen a black horse with long hair like satin, a carmine mare with full bangs, and a spotted horse with dreadlocks on its forehead."
You're surprised to have nicknames... Yu Wen Chengdu knows the name of that dark horse, the Friesian horse. It is said to come from the Netherlands and is very valuable.
As for the rouge red bangs and dreadlocks, I don’t know what kind they are.
After feeding the carrots, Yuwen Chengdu wanted to let the Akhal Tekin horse out for a walk, but was told that no male horse could approach the mare when she was letting out, otherwise there would be a fight.
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Chengdu patted the horse on the head and said:
"Then you stay here for now. I'll take you out to relax in the afternoon. Be good, and I'll feed you two packs of snacks after lunch."
He strolled around and selected a golden Arabian horse and a Hanoverian horse suitable for dressage.
Yue Fei picked a white horse and took pictures of the layout of the racecourse, intending to go back and show it to Niu Gao and the others.
Wu Song chose a Sanhe horse and an Ili horse, and also tried to do a Thomas Spin on the horse, but failed, so he had to temporarily change to a handstand.
Li Yu did not participate in the filming. He was carrying a bag of carrot sticks and wanted to feed the cute little ponies, but they didn't like it.
Chen Meiliang said:
"They were fed badly by the children, and now they don't even have good food to eat... Do you want ponies in your scenic spot? There were too many ponies last year, and they couldn't be sold at a high price. If necessary, you can take a few away. Kids like it.”
Li Yu originally thought that there were retired military horses in the scenic area, so there was no need to get ponies. But when he heard that the children liked it, he immediately planned to open a new stable in the scenic area and get a few ponies to raise.
Little friends are now the main consumers. With Little Pony, not only will there be an increase in underage tourists, but the sales of children's Hanfu will also increase a lot.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, the team responsible for filming the promotional video arrived from the capital, and the leader was Panda, an old acquaintance.
"Hello Mr. Pan."
"Don't shout like that, I'm just a part-time worker."
After Panda arrived, he began to determine the shooting location. However, the light was too strong at the moment and it was impossible to shoot. We had to wait until after four o'clock in the afternoon to start work.
With nothing to do, everyone started to play in the scenic spot.
Li Yu took Mu Guiying to the top of the mountain to worship the statue of Dundun, and then to the farmer's restaurant at the bottom of the mountain, where he ate various farm dishes cooked by Lin Xu and his uncle.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone changed clothes and started shooting.
Yuwen Chengdu first changed into a set of urban elite-style clothes, but after the photo was taken, he always felt that something was wrong. Panda also asked him to change into a set of clothes, but after the photo was taken, it was still almost boring.
Li Yu thought for a while and said:
"Try changing into Hanfu!"
When I came, I brought all my hair covers and the like, and the racecourse also hired a professional makeup artist.
Yuwen Chengdu chose a set of golden Hanfu. When he got on his horse, he felt that noble feeling. Panda was so excited that he took several videos with his mobile phone and kept asking Li Yu. :
"Will he do a live broadcast? If so, I can arrange it. With the strength of our Happy Media, we can definitely become the top player in the Hanfu circle."
He doesn’t even have an ID card... Li Yu said with a smile:
"He doesn't like live broadcasting, so forget it. I will contact you when you want to live broadcast later."
"Okay, no problem... Boss Li, are you going to do a live broadcast? We can also package it, as well as your dog. We are quite professional in pet live broadcasts, and Dundun was introduced by us."
It was Dundun who pushed you out... Li Yu planned to go back and ask Gouzi, but this guy only likes to stay with the ladies, and there is a high probability that he will not like live broadcasts.
After filming in Chengdu, Yuwen was replaced by Mu Guiying.
This girl is beautiful, with a wild beauty about her. She can easily control modern clothes and Hanfu. In addition, the three horses chosen are also very unique. As long as they are paired with a relaxed and cheerful BGM, they can quickly set off the whole world. net.
Wu Song first took a photo wearing modern clothes, and then changed into a uniform, and he immediately showed his style as a tiger-fighting hero.
Panda was surprised. For the first time, he knew what murderous intent was.
Yue Fei was the last one to be photographed. Dressed in white and riding a white horse, he fully demonstrated the charm of a dashing young man.
Different from the bitterness and hatred in the original work, Yue Fei now lives a prosperous life, is pampered by his elders, does not have to bear any hatred of his family and country, and has completely restored his temperament as a teenager.
"Damn, I feel like there will be a wave of Hanfu style all over the Internet!"
Panda admired while taking pictures. He felt that the models this time were really amazing. He could just take a picture from the material and use it as a screen saver. It looked better than those first-line models.
It was not until the evening that all the shooting work came to an end after shooting the video of Xiao Yuefei galloping in the sunset. Everyone packed up and had a delicious meal at the racecourse restaurant.
Li Yu didn't drink today, and drove everyone back after dinner.
When he arrived at the B&B, he just drove the car into the warehouse and saw Zishou, Lu Bu, Qin Qiong, Liu Xie, and Li Shimin, five people, heads leaning against each other, whispering something.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Li Yu, Xiao Shimin hurriedly said:
"Sir, something big happened in the Conferred God World, and we are listening to His Majesty the King of Shang telling us what happened."
Big thing?
Li Yu locked the car door and asked curiously:
"What big thing happened?"
Zishou replied:
"Today we are holding a blessing ceremony in Nuwa Palace. The clouds in the sky gradually condensed into a human face. When it was about to take shape, a dog barked between heaven and earth, and the human face dissipated..."
Li Yu: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
What's going on?
Dogs are beginning to erode the authority of the Heavenly Dao?

I went to remove the stitches today and found that two stitches were sewn on the toenail. The tearing pain when removing the stitches made me want to chop off my toes... I will only update once today, and I will resume updating twice tomorrow!
