In May of the seventh year of Jian'an (202 AD), after the situation in Bingzhou was finally settled, Ye Zhao left Xu Rong as General Zhenbei, and took charge of Bingzhou. He also submitted a petition to the court and established the governor of Bingzhou, and returned to Chang'an.

Ye Zhao's return to Guanzhong also made Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, who had been worried, breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Zhao stayed in Bingzhou, even if there were not many soldiers around him, it was enough to bring a huge sense of oppression to Liu Bei and Yuan Shao who were close to him. Now that Ye Zhao returned to Chang'an, the pressure has also weakened a lot.

However, Ye Zhao returned to Guanzhong and called Lu Bu, Liu Biao, the two princes who were neighbors with Ye Zhao were very nervous.

However, after Ye Zhao returned to Guanzhong, he did not pay attention to the Central Plains. The Shengong Camp had made a lot of things in the year he left.

The previous rat car was eventually eliminated by the Shengong Camp. The workmanship was too complicated. There were hundreds of mice, and the transmission belts needed just had dozens or hundreds of transmission belts. The power system was too complicated and the load capacity could not be increased. It was soon replaced by the Shengong Camp with other things.

The new one is a rickshaw, which is powered by manpower and is composed of leverage, conveyor belt and gear. It is easy to operate. Now the lever stroller is only required for two people to stand on it and press the lever in turn to make the car move forward. According to Shengongying’s conjecture, it can make a lever with a larger load bearing capacity. It is not as fast as a carriage.

However, if you marching for a long distance, you can use it in large quantities as a means of transportation for the army, and the workmanship is not complicated and can be mass-produced.

After all, even if Xiliang and Hetao have already taken over, there are a large number of horse sources, if you march and fight, it is impossible for all troops to rely on horse-drawn carriages. Leverage cars can speed up the marching speed, and can travel up to 200 or even 300 miles a day. If a car carries five people to calculate, it can not only rest alternately, but also the marching speed of the army can be five to eight times faster than before.

Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious. This kind of car is difficult to turn and is not suitable for traveling in places with complex terrain.

In the schoolyard west of Chang'an City, watching more than a dozen new lever cars running around the schoolyard under the control of craftsmen, Cai Yi, who was standing beside Ye Zhao, cheered and wanted to give it a try.

"If this thing can be built in large quantities, once our army enters the Central Plains, it can appear anywhere in the Central Plains within five days!" Beside Ye Zhao, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and other generals looked at the leverage car in front of him, and their eyes shone.

Saving the time of marching means saving a lot of food and grass. It took Ye Zhao less than two months to lead his army out of Sichuan to capture and destroy Li Jue and Guo Si, but it took nearly half a year to assemble troops and marching before.

This is because the troops under Ye Zhao are disciplined and marching fast. If they are ordinary troops, they will only prepare to leave Sichuan, but with the terrain of Sichuan, they will not be able to leave for a year.

"The problem is as Ma Jun said before, the direction is difficult to control. Moreover, if the army uses this object to march, the speed must be basically the same, and the gap between vehicles must also be considered. Moreover, this object can run like a flying on the concrete ground, but if the ground is uneven, it will be difficult to do as it is now, right?" Ye Zhao looked at Ma Jun.

"Lord's wise eyes!" Ma Jun smiled and said, "That's true, this is also the main issue in the current research of the Shengong Camp."

"Try to connect it, widen the body, five or ten vehicles together, and try to increase the power output." Ye Zhao thought for a while, this was a bit similar to a train.

Ma Jun's eyes lit up and nodded. Although there are still many problems that Ye Zhao said that need to be overcome, many times it is not that people cannot do it, but that there is no direction at all. Ye Zhao has now proposed a general direction, and the next thing is, there will naturally be people from the Shengong Camp working hard in this direction.

"Before the reversal, both the generals and the soldiers of the three armies were already quite tired. We returned to the court this time to rest and recuperate, but war may happen at any time. I hope you will be more tired during this period, go to the academy more and cultivate more talents for my great man." Ye Zhao smiled and said to the generals.

Now Ye Zhao's command has gradually increased its talents, but more are concentrated among the younger generation. Zhang Ren, Guan Ping, Gan Ning and Huang Quan, who were first discovered, are now the main generals of the country. There are more talents who have emerged from the ground. Most of them are people who have never been famous in history, but their abilities are not weak at all. Most of them serve as county magistrates in various places. Those with higher abilities have now reached the position of prefect. In the army, they are also backbone generals such as school lieutenants and chief lieutenants. This is also the reason why Ye Zhao is not worried about the rebellion of the generals.

Even if the generals rebelled, these young generals who entered the army would not listen to them. Further down, the two major academies of Chengdu and Chang'an are still providing talents for Ye Zhao. Moreover, with the expansion of Ye Zhao's territory and the continuous abundance of people's livelihood, there will be more and more talents. The talents under Ye Zhao are now in a state of development that is booming. It is not just in the career of the officialdom, but also in the industry and business. Now Ye Zhao no longer has to care too much about the attitude of the scholar class as before.

Nowadays, there are also aristocratic families in Guanzhong, Shuzhong, Xiliang and Bingzhou, but these aristocratic families are hard to shake Ye Zhao's status.

As a top talent in military strategy under Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao hopes that there will be more generals like Guan Yu, Xu Rong, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao. Therefore, when there is nothing wrong, Ye Zhao will encourage his generals to go to the academy.

"I will accept the order!" Guan Yu and others bowed and then dispersed.

When Ye Zhao took Ye Zheng and Cai Yi back to the Taiwei Mansion, he happened to meet Xi Zhicai who was rushing to come.

"Zhicai is so quick, but what's the point?" Ye Zhao waved his hand to signal his two sons to leave, and looked at Xi Zhicai in confusion.

"It is indeed an important matter to go back to the lord." Xi Zhicai bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "I have a good friend who can beat me ten times better. I am willing to recommend it to the lord."

"Recommendation?" Ye Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded and said, "Go in and say."

The recommended by Xi Zhicai is definitely not an ordinary talent.

The two returned to the mansion and sat down in the study. Ye Zhaocai said, "I don't know who Zhicai has recommended this time?"

"This person was a friend I made when I was in Yingchuan. He had the talent of heaven and earth, and his talent..."

"Okay!" Ye Zhao rubbed his temples and said, "Don't say it ten times better than you. That's true. Either he is a god or you are a fool. Just tell who he is?"

"Uh..." Xi Zhicai smiled embarrassedly and said, "This person's surname is Guo Jia, his name is Fengxiao. He assisted Yuan Shao before. Unfortunately, Yuan Shao is a man who is always planning and asked him to abandon him. Yesterday he received his letter and was willing to join his lord. I wonder if the lord is willing to take shelter?"

"Where is the person?" Ye Zhao looked at Xi Zhicai and said with a smile.

When he first accepted Xi Zhicai, he wanted to win over Guo Jia through Xi Zhicai. Ye Zhao dared not think about Xun Yu and Xun You, but he felt that he could still compete for Guo Jia.

Unfortunately, Xi Zhicai refused calmly. Thinking about it, Xi Zhicai also felt that it was difficult to attract Guo Jia with Ye Zhao's pattern and situation at that time, but the times changed. Now, ten years later, Xi Zhicai took the initiative to recommend Guo Jia, which made Ye Zhao feel like the feng shui was changing.

"Some little trouble." Xi Zhicai said with a wry smile.

"Tell me," Ye Zhao knew it was not that easy: "He doesn't want to see me?"

"That's not. The lord of the filial piety has been in love for a long time." Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "This time it's a letter, so the lord may have to go to Xuchang to invite him."

Ye Zhao didn't understand it a little, and looked at Xi Zhicai and said with a smile: "I'm going to Xuchang to invite you? Can you come back?"

That is Cao Cao's base camp. Although he has a good relationship with Cao Cao, Ye Zhao is sure that if he runs to Xuchang at this time, he will definitely be in a desperate situation unless he brings his troops directly over now.

"The lord misunderstood. In fact, Fengxiao encountered some trouble. He wanted to come to Chang'an, but was imprisoned by Xun Yu in the Xun family and could not come out. So Yicai asked me for help from letters." Xi Zhicai hurriedly said.

"So that's it." Ye Zhao nodded, frowned and looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "But if I remember correctly, Feng Xiao and Wen Ruo seem to be friends."

Ye Zhao was in Luoyang and nodded with Xun Yu. He had little friendship, but he was very clear about Xun Yu's social circle, otherwise he would not have wanted to recruit Guo Jia through Xi Zhicai.

"If Wen wanted to recommend Fengxiao to Cao Cao, but was employed by Fengxiao, so..." Xi Zhicai sighed. He could understand Xun Yu's thoughts. Even if he was himself, if Guo Jia was in Chang'an and wanted to join Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai would probably do the same thing as Xun Yu. After all, there are only so many top strategists in the world, especially geniuses like Guo Jia, who are rare.

However, Xi Zhicai also knew that Ye Zhao had a force that was good at sneaking in, so he came to ask Ye Zhao for help. Since Guo Jia was interested in joining Ye Zhao, the two of them were not only friends but also colleagues in the future, Xi Zhicai naturally wanted to rescue Guo Jia.

"Now Meng De's still in Dongjun." Ye Zhao rubbed his fingers and frowned slightly, "It's really an opportunity. Okay, don't bother with this matter, and leave it to me immediately."

"Here!" Xi Zhicai bowed and said goodbye to Ye Zhao and left.

After Xi Zhicai left, Ye Zhao tapped the table with his fingers, pondered for a moment and said, "Where is the secret guard?"

"See lord!" Two figures came in quietly and bowed to Ye Zhao.

"I inform Zhang Yue that I want to see her!" Ye Zhao said in a deep voice.

"Here!"
