The geographical environment of Shaoliang Kingdom is actually very good, but it rains a little, especially in summer.

Just now, it was still the scorching weather yesterday, but today it was suddenly raining heavily.

Looking at the bad weather, Hu Ben asked Li He, "Brother Li, are we going to Wei Ying General today?"

"Go." Li He hesitated for a moment and ordered: "Block those two crossbows."

"Okay."

Around the morning and around Si, Li He took Peng Chou, Hu Feng, Hu Ben and others, wearing straw raincoats and heading to Wei Zhu's camp in the rain.

Wei Zhu's new camp is located on the loess plateau west of the old Liang. He is recently assisting the old Liang to dig a flood storage pond, but today it is obviously impossible to do its job. When Li He and a few people came to the new Wei camp in the rain, Wei Zhu and his command were hiding in the camp and doing nothing. Only the soldiers on duty stood on the mail tower to warn the surroundings.

Li He and others were all from Wei Camp. Most of the soldiers in Wei Camp recognized him. Without informing Wei Zhu, the soldiers on duty opened the gate of the camp and put Li He and others in it.

After a while, Li He and his men came to the general's room in the camp, which was the house where Wei Zhu lived.

Li He pushed the door and immediately saw Wei Zhu sitting in the room with his bare arms raised.

"Yo, rare guest."

Turning back to see Li He and the others, Wei Zhu stood up with a smile and joked, "Isn't this Dr. Ziliang? What are the instructions for coming today?"

It has to be said that Li He was once a beloved general under Wei Zhu, but now, Li He's official position is more than Wei Zhu, so Wei Zhu sometimes teased Li He for this matter.

"Battle General, aren't you tired of playing? Every time I come here?" Li He looked helpless.

Wei Zhu rolled his eyes and said, "Who asked you to throw my camp here to dig the soil?"

Of course, that's it, but Wei Zhu still told Li He about the progress of the current construction of the flood storage tanks: "...The ground has been dug almost. I went to Hulukou to survey it. As you expected, as soon as the water level of the water rises, the river water will flow back into the flood storage tank. There should be no problems downstream."

The gourd mouth in his mouth actually refers to the only entrance and exit of the flood storage pond. According to the previous calculations of Li He and his disciples of the Mo family, this flood storage pond, which was opened up, dug deep, and converted, was enough to accommodate floods equivalent to an old Liangcheng, which could undoubtedly greatly alleviate the downstream flood pressure.

Li He nodded and said, "That's good... Yesterday I went to the workshop in Panshui. Mo Yu told me that after repeated tests, he had equipped waterproof construction materials. When the pool on your side is dug, we can consider building a dam."

"good!"

Wei Zhu excitedly closed his fists and palms.

None of the locals in Shaoliang did not hate the floods that year. This was like this from the doctor of Dongliang Fan Hu and Wei Zhu. When he thought that Shaoliang might be able to get rid of the floods in the future, he couldn't help but feel excited.

While excited, he looked at Li He suspiciously: "Just because of this, you don't have to come here in person, do you?"

"Well..."

Li He paused for a moment and said with a smile: "There is one more thing to discuss with the general of the camp."

Hearing this, Wei Zhu seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile: "It's Li Ying's case, right? Liang Wuzun, right?... That boy came to my camp that day, and I guessed that you two were not kind. Tell me, how many people have you kidnapped from me? Still come?"

The "Liang Wuzhang" he mentioned was actually a "heavy infantry plan" that Li He wanted to try after the surprise troops.

It is undeniable that the surprise soldiers shine brightly in the last war with the Qin army, but the surprise soldiers are really not good at fighting on the front battlefield. Therefore, Li He wanted to build a heavy infantry wearing iron armor. Because it was an attempt, there was no need to be a large number of people. One or two hundred people were enough. Therefore, Li He did not discuss with Dongliang Jun and directly asked Li He to come to Wei's camp to pick people, not treating Wei as an outsider at all.

Wei Zhu was both angry and funny about this. The first generation of Shao Liang Qi soldiers all came from his Wei camp. This certainly made him feel more respectful in front of Wu Kang, Zhang Ben, Du Liang and others, but you kid can't poach the corners of my Wei camp every time.

Seeing that Wei Zhu had made a note and looked disregardless, Li He, who had already prepared, immediately ordered: "Fox, Hu Ben, let us see our newly built 'Shaoliang Crossbow' to Wei Ying General."

"Okay."

Fox and Hu Ben laughed and took out a crossbow from under the straw raincoat, stripped off the cloth wrapped outside, and presented it to Wei Zhu.

Wei Zhu immediately became interested. He took the crossbow from Fox's hand and said in surprise while stroking it: "Is this a new crossbow made with Korean crossbow technology? How far can it shoot?"

Li He explained: "Depending on the different materials used, the range is between 450 and 500 steps..."

Hearing this, Wei Zhu's surprise became even stronger.

In fact, the crossbow tools that Shaoliang had obtained from Wei before actually had a range of about 400 steps, but after all, they were obtained from Wei, so how could he be compared to those developed by Shaoliang in his own country? Not to mention that the crossbow tools he made by Shaoliang by borrowing from Korean crossbow making technology, the range was even better than those of the crossbows of Wei.

"Is this one the same?"

Wei Zhu was surprised to take the crossbow from Hu Ben's hand, and then asked in confusion: "Why is this crossbow so strange? Wait a minute, where will this one be equipped with arrows?"

"The crossbow box from above..."

Li He explained with a smile, and the Hu Ben from the side said impatiently: "Battleman, ours is not an ordinary crossbow, but a crossbow developed by my Shaoliang. Look, if an arrow is shot out, the arrow contained in the crossbow box can automatically fall and fall into the arrow groove. At this time, as long as you pull this live wood, the arrow will be immediately turned on..."

As he said that, he took out a few arrows from the arrow bag he carried with him and demonstrated it in front of Wei Zhu. Wei Zhu's eyes widened.

From the side, Li He smiled and watched the scene.

I have to say that for this crossbow, not to mention that Mo Jian and Zheng Jiangtou had not met each other for several times, even Li He spent a lot of effort. The three of them re-improve the design based on the crossbow made by Shaofu of South Korea, and even used the leverage principle to redesign this crossbow that can achieve semi-automatic loading of crossbow arrows and winding.

In Li He's memory, this type of crossbow should actually be called the Zhuge crossbow, but it is undeniable that because he did not know the internal structure of the Zhuge crossbow, he, Mo Jian and Zheng Jiangtou, had put in a lot of effort.

In the end, this killing weapon, which was named "Shaoliang Crossbow", became the most important secret of the Mo Zaosi. Only Mo Jian and Zheng Jiangtou and other few Mo family disciples, and the craftsmen of Shaofu knew all the design drawings.

Wei Zhu had never seen such a treasure. Before Hu Ben finished his demonstration, he grabbed it and stroked it carefully with shock and surprise, as if he treated his beloved woman the most.

After a while, he glanced at Li He and said with a smile: "I have brought the crossbow arrows here. It seems that you are prepared... Okay, let's talk about the price, I'm satisfied with it. I'll be able to choose someone in Wei Ying."

Li He smiled and said, "Three thousand young beam crossbows and five hundred consecutive crossbows will be delivered within four months."

Even though Wei Zhu wanted to kill a piece of money from his former beloved general to make up for the losses of Wei Ying, he did not expect that Li He was so generous. His face changed, he put away the smile on his face and asked seriously, "Is it going to fight?"

"Um."

Li He did not hide it, and told Wei Zhu truthfully the news brought by Shen Chun, the envoy of South Korea to Shaoliang, and then said seriously: "...Han has participated in the war. Ying Qian's 200,000 Qin troops may not be able to stop the coalition forces of Wei and Han. I guess he will eventually be forced to retreat to Hexi by the Wei and Han coalition forces. When I was in Jieshi, Shaoliang would have to follow the previous alliance to fight against the Wei and Han coalition forces with Qin."

Hearing this, Wei Zhu's expression became more and more serious, and he frowned and said, "Can't you stay out of the matter?"

"It's hard." Li He shook his head and said, "My Shaoliang had an "unity to defend together" with Qin. If he did not obey the alliance, it would be a breach of trust. It would not only cause displeasure to Qin, but also give Qin a justification. Furthermore, even if I Shaoliang did not come forward, Wei would never let me Shaoliang go. Instead of waiting for Wei to defeat Qin and target me Shaoliang alone, it would be better to fight against the Wei and Han alliance with Qin..."

After a pause, he said again: "I am going to take Wei Camp to fight together. Although there are only four or five thousand troops, if they are all crossbowmen, I believe they can play a huge role... The camp will be relieved. I will negotiate with Ying Qian at that time and I will try to minimize our casualties."

Wei Zhu nodded slightly after hearing this.

If all four or five thousand soldiers of Wei camp were changed to crossbow soldiers, it would have greatly reduced casualties. As for whether this move would pass on the casualties to the Qin army, it would not be within his consideration.

"Then you, Mo Zaosi, have to be as soon as possible."

After gently patting the crossbow in his hand, Wei Zhu said seriously: "After all, I don't think this thing can be easily grasped, right?"

Li He nodded and said, "Next month, my Mo Zaoshi will work hard to build five hundred Shaoliang crossbows and one hundred consecutive crossbows, and Wei Ying will train first."

"Um."

When Wei Zhu learned that Shaoliang was about to be involved in the war between Qin and Wei again, he was not in the mood to make any jokes with Li He again and nodded solemnly.

The two discussed a few words, and then Wei Zhu called Li Ying.

In fact, under Wei Zhu's acquiescence, Li Ying had already selected 200 other best soldiers in Wei's camp, but Wei Zhu intended to get some equipment from Li He to strengthen his Wei's camp soldiers.

On that day, Li He brought Hu Feng, Hu Ben and others, and Li Ying and the 200 strong soldiers selected from Wei Ying to return to the old Liang together.

After returning to the old Liang Dynasty, Li He appointed Li Ying as the deputy general of this "Liang Wushu", and appointed Peng Chou, Hu Feng, Hu Ben and others as 100 generals to assist him in training this team.

Others may not know, but Li He's expectations for this "Liang Wushu" are even higher than those of the surprise soldiers. After all, the surprise soldiers model is not suitable for all Shaoliang troops, but the "Liang Wushu" can be, it is established for frontal battlefield combat.

As long as everything goes well, Li He will fully promote it within the next five years, changing the vast majority of his Shao Liang Zheng's army to heavy armored infantry.
