"This is the crossbow!" Sun Ce is now in Kuaiji. He is defeated by Wancheng and he still doesn't know how to face Zhou Yu! So after the defeat, he went back to Kuaiji directly, and there is also his main naval army here.

"Yes, brother!" A young man who was also thriving was standing next to him. He looked very similar to Sun Ce but lacked the masculinity of Sun Ce. Instead, it was a feminine feeling. If Sun Ce was the sword edge of a sharp sword, then he was the scabbard of a sharp sword, completely covering up the sharp edge without revealing it at all.

This person is Sun Quan! Sun Zhongmou, life and death should be as Sun Zhongmou said, the young man in front of him. Including that he is only 18 years old this year, he should be a school age. In this world, he may be a person who has just entered the college entrance examination. But what you don’t know is that Sun Zhongmou has been a county magistrate for more than two years. Qiantang County is thriving under his governance. The tax alone is more than twice as high as Yuhang Wucheng Fuchun in the surrounding area. Moreover, Sun Quan is also very good at employed people. His elder brother Sun Ce said that he would raise the masses of Jiangdong to determine the opportunity between the two Chens and compete with the world. You are not as good as me. You are the wise and capable, and each one should do his best to protect Jiangdong. I am not as good as you.

When he was the county magistrate in Qiantang, Sun Quan began to develop talents and the children of various aristocratic families. Under his command, a small Jiangdong Group was established. The people here were basically talented, including Lu Su, Bu Zhi, Zhuge Jin, Yan Yan, and Lu Meng, Ling Cao, and Ding Feng. The gathering of these talents was the key to Sun Quan's control of Jiangdong in the future.

Sun Quan looked at his elder brother Sun Ce with a bit of complexity. This elder brother was so outstanding. He was in his twenties, but he was already a prince of the country and had mastered Jiangdong Wu Yue. If he was a national army-level figure in the Warring States Period and Spring and Autumn Period, he should know that Sun Ce was not like Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, he was truly from scratch. From his father Sun Jian’s hands at the hands of Huang Zu of Jiangxia, then to Yuan Shu. Then to Fengxian uploading the world-class jade seal to make him escape from Yuan Shu and defeating Wang Lang, Yan Baihu, and Liu Yao finally pacifying Jiangdong. These were all done by this elder brother. It can be said that after his father Sun Jian’s death, it was the elder brother Sun Ce who took on the burden of the entire family, and it was also the elder brother Sun Ce who gave them such a good living environment.

If Sun Quan was just an incompetent person, then there was nothing. At least with the existence of his elder brother Sun Ce, Sun Quan would have no problem with his lifetime of glory and wealth. But the problem now is that Sun Quan is also very outstanding, not bad at all compared to his elder brother Sun Ce. Even many old people in Jiangdong thought that Sun Quan should be the one who took the position as a high position, because Sun Ce only knows how to fight the country but can't govern the country, and the strength of rewards and punishments is not clear enough. If it weren't for Zhou Yu's help, I wouldn't know how many complaints he would have But Sun Quan is different. He is peaceful and polite to everyone. He is clear in rewards and punishments. He does not have the impulse and emotional impulse of Sun Ce in dealing with things. The most important point is Sun Ce and Sun Quan's attitude towards the gentry. Sun Ce is a military general. Like Lu Bu, he is not very interested in those gentry like Lu Bu. If he has the chance, he believes that Sun Ce will strangle these gentry to death like Lu Bu, so he has a semi-hard feeling in his attitude towards the gentry!

For example, in this battle in Wancheng, after the children of the gentry were sent to the city wall, Sun Ce wanted to use the hands of Lu Bu's army to get rid of all the children of the gentry. After the difficulties, Sun Ce's plan failed. Most of the dozen gentry's children survived. They might not have felt anything before, but they would definitely notice it later. Because Sun Ce also killed those close confidants who remained in the camp, what are they doing? This is killing people to silence! Sun Quan's attitude towards the gentry was much better, perhaps Sun Quan was more suitable for politics. In the eyes of the gentry, Sun Quan was the kind of person who treated the gentry very friendly. In Qiantang, they realized that Sun Quan never moved anything that belonged to the gentry and even gave some real low positions to the gentry! When compared between the two, the gentry naturally became moved!

"Brother, brother, why do I have to appear after I have you?" Sun Quan sighed in his heart. No matter how outstanding he is, as long as he has this brother, Sun Quan will always be a person standing behind his back, but he doesn't want to! Brother, Sun Quan shook his head helplessly.

"How powerful! How many steps can you shoot continuously!" Sun Ce asked several questions in a row. It cannot be blamed for Sun Ce, because their Jiangdong army suffered too much in front of this thing, and he was almost killed. The death of the Black Dragon and the death of the 30,000 navy troops were all caused by this thing in front of him! Now that this weapon has been in the hands of Sun Ce, how could he be if he doesn't care about it anymore!

"It's power! Brother, follow me!" Sun Quan is worthy of being Sun Quan. After he got the drawings of this crossbow, the crossbow he made was different from what Liu Mang and the others had made before, because he installed wheels under the crossbow. Now, the crossbow that was originally difficult to move suddenly became movable. This kind of crossbow can not only be installed on the tower ship, but also equipped those cities. Putting a few seats on a city gate will definitely make the enemy die of death. Sun Quan directed his men and horses to push the crossbow to an open space, where there were targets hundreds of meters away from the open space. This is what Sun Quan wanted to show Sun Ce.

"One hundred steps!" Sun Quan shouted to the soldiers standing opposite. The soldiers nodded and quickly began to prepare. They put the target into the gap of one hundred steps. There was a thick wooden straw behind the target, and even a giant shield scarecrow was standing in front of them and armor was still worn.

Everything was set up, and the soldiers opposite raised the flag in their hands, meaning they were ready to shoot.

"Let it go!" With the order of Sun Quan, a bowstring quickly fell from the crossbow. A huge arrow struck the sky like a meteor and shot towards his shoulder a hundred steps away. The shooting staff selected by Sun Quan was a sharpshooter, and he also knew that if you want to shoot accurately, you must let professional shooting personnel do it.

"Swoosh!" This is the sound of the air being torn apart. The giant arrows are very fast, much faster than ordinary bows and arrows. Moreover, because of the hugeness of the arrows, they give people a much heavier feeling.

"Boom!" The giant arrow plunged into the target. The first layer in front of the target was a giant shield. This giant shield is a standard weapon. Although it is not as strong as the alloy giant shield in the hands of Liu Mang's urban management army, it can also withstand the bows and arrows. Only by shooting can it damage people through the gaps! This giant shield is used to defend against falling wood and rolling stones when siege. It can be imagined its defense!

Now, this giant shield, which can cover 80% of a person's body, was directly broken into the middle. The iron sheet in front of the giant shield was torn apart, but the giant arrow attacked the target with a slow speed. The second time it was the general armor. Since this armor was naturally made of iron tools, it still could not block the power of the giant arrow. Although the iron tip on the arrow was bent, the giant arrow still penetrated through it. There were thick wooden boards behind it, and the thickness of this wooden board was the same as those on those on the building ships. Moreover, in order to show the power of the crossbow, Sun Quan thickened a layer, and the outside was also wrapped in iron sheet. But the final result!

The thick wooden boards were torn open directly with the iron sheet, and the iron chips were flying. The target was also taken away under this impact. There was even an unlucky soldier behind him who didn't react and was strung into candied haws by the giant arrows. His entire chest was pierced. No matter how hard the bones were, they could be as hard as the armor and iron sheets! He died of a life before he could react!

The casualties of a soldier did not bring any emotional fluctuations to the Sun family brothers. Even because of the real person's concealment, Sun Ce's eyes flashed with a gleam, "It's it, it's this power! No, no, it's even more terrifying than that time!" Sun Ce was controlled by Huang Xu when he was targeted by the crossbow. Huang Xu had a natural hawk-eye, so Sun Ce could feel that although the accuracy was much higher than the crossbow in front of him, the power was not as powerful as the crossbow in front of him. The giant shield, armor, and thick wooden board were all shot through. If it were the crossbow in front of him at that time, Sun Ce would be unable to resist it. That's it, the Oolong was dead. The King of Western Chu was also cracked.

"Two hundred steps, three hundred steps!" Sun Quan did not immediately reply to his brother's words, but asked the soldiers to set the target from a new setting from one hundred steps to three hundred steps, four hundred steps! The final result came out. Everything within three hundred steps could penetrate, and when it reached three hundred steps, the thick wooden board behind could only be pierced in half and could not penetrate. Four hundred steps could break the iron sheet of the thick wooden board. When it reached four hundred steps, the armor in front was directly smashed. After five hundred steps, the armor was sunken.

Sun Quan even tried 600 steps and 700 steps. At these times, he could only smash the giant shield. This was enough that it would be useless to break the giant shield on a warship. But if it was used to defend the city, it would be absolutely useful. Imagine that the enemy could be injured by 700 steps and approached, and even the people and the giant shield shot into the land. The degree of tragicity made people terrifying.

"Forged it quickly!" Sun Ce had only one idea now, so that Jiangdong's craftsmen would do their best to build this crossbow. He didn't know before that he knew the power of this thing, so he could let it go. Moreover, this crossbow could still shoot in a row, but it was also shooting in a row, right? He finally knew why Jiang Qin and Lu Su lost so badly. With this thing in mind, even if Sun Ce personally commanded it, he could only regret the Yangtze River. Now this weapon was obtained by Zhang Zhao!

Four thousand craftsmen, plus twenty thousand gold! Sun Ce felt a little distressed, but when he thought of the power of this thing, his heart became hot again. So what about the four thousand craftsmen? With this, Sun Ce's naval army could surround the Yangtze River. Now the 20,000 gold and 4 thousand craftsmen are just lending it to Lu Bu for the time being, just wait! Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, I will let me spit out everything that you swallow, and use the crossbow weapon you gave me!

"By the way! Did Liu Biao also send an envoy to Wancheng?" Sun Ce suddenly thought of this, because they were fighting like that, and they could send an envoy to negotiate to get a crossbow. He didn't believe that Liu Biao on the side would be unmoved.

"Yes, brother!" Sun Quan nodded. In military terms, Sun Quan was one point weaker than Sun Ce. This can be seen from Sun Ce's takeover of Jiangdong and Sun Quan's takeover of Jiangdong's imperial expedition, or it is basically impossible to win. Kuai Liang, the envoy of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, had to go to Lujiang one minute in the morning than Sun Ce's envoy Zhang Zhao. Because the Ganning naval army appeared in the waters of Jiangxia, they also challenged Zhou Yu's navy from time to time, so the soldiers in Jingzhou were attracted by the alliance with Lu Bu's army. Can they start a alliance with Lu Bu's army?

Come, destroy Jiangdong first! Although Lu Bu and Jiang Xia also fought a battle, a discerning person could see at a glance that it was a misunderstanding or an unnecessary war formed by Huang Zu's precious son Huang She. If Huang She had no Huang She, only Huang Zhong was the main general, or Huang Zu went to Huangzhou in person, it might have explained this misunderstanding. After all, Lu Bu sent an envoy, but Huang She directly killed the envoy of Lu Bu's army in order to make achievements! This is the reason for the direct war. Even if there is a misunderstanding, he has to fight!

I thought it was Lu Bu and Sun Ce that alliance, but Jingzhou was in panic at that time! Although Liu Biao of Jingzhou had never participated in the 18 princes attacking Dong Zhuo and had never confronted Lu Bu directly, Cao Cao could feel from Liu Bei's experience that Lu Bu was a tiger and a tiger that ate people without spitting bones. The little overlord of Jiangdong originally asked Jingzhou to attack with defense, but now there was another tiger. Isn't this just a sudden rain?

In order to prevent the two tigers from tearing him apart, Liu Biao from Jingzhou also contacted Zhang Xiu in Wancheng. Zhang Xiu was also a powerful general. He had the Xiliang Iron Cavalry left by his uncle. Although he was not as good as the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, it was not much worse. After all, when Lu Bu was under Dong Zhuo's hands, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry often disliked each other. If it weren't for Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's restraint, they would have fought long ago! Moreover, before Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had a confrontation!

Although Zhang Xiu of Wancheng was strong, he was under the management of Jingzhou on the surface, but it was also on the surface. In fact, Wancheng was a self-contained group. They just used each other. Liu Biao in Jingzhou provided food and grass for Wancheng. A small Wancheng could not afford more than 10,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry and 30,000 infantry! What Wancheng brought to Liu Biao was to block the north of Jingzhou and resist Cao Cao's pressure for Liu Biao in Jingzhou!

Now that Lu Bu and Sun Ce have joined forces, Liu Biao has to put down and discuss with Zhang Xiu, Wancheng. But in the end, who knew that Lu Bu, who captured Huangzhou and captured Huang She, not only did not go west to Xinye, but directly went east to seize Lujiang in Jiangdong. At this critical moment, either Sun Ce and Lu Bu were in uneven distribution of spoils, but then it was reported that the wife Sun Ce had married in Jiangdong was hanging herself. Lu Bu and Sun Ce had completely torn apart, and finally someone understood that there was no shortage of people who could see through things in Jingzhou, such as Mr. Shui Jing, Pang Degong, and those disciples, were all good talents. It was obvious at a glance that this was not uneven distribution of spoils, but Sun Ce treated Lu Bu as a gun envoy, and Lu Bu turned his back in anger.

The Lujiang Battle really made the Jingzhou gentry laugh happily. Two tigers bite it, it would be better to bite one to death and one seriously injured, and finally let the hunter of Jingzhou deal with them! As expected, Liu Biao, Jingzhou, did not disappoint Liu Biao, the 100,000 Jiangdong troops returned in a defeat, which really relieved a lot of pressure for Jingzhou. However, the battle of the Ancheng naval army shocked Liu Biao in Jingzhou, because the Lu Bu army naval army, which had only risen to 7,000, could actually send 30,000 elite Jiangdong naval army into the bottom of the river. What kind of man is the Lu Bu army's naval army? Jingzhou has the most say, because most of the naval army is still the men of Jiangxia before! In addition to ordinary recruits, what kind of combat power can they have, but now such an unpopularity has emerged, so naturally Liu Biao needs to inquire!

When I inquired, I was shocked. It was a powerful weapon. That thing was the protagonist of the entire water war. Lu Bu's army was not scary because Lu Bu's army could not build ships. Without ships, it would not bring substantial threats to Jingzhou. No matter how powerful Lu Bu is, you cannot cross the Yangtze River directly!

If Sun Ce gets it, it will be different. It will bring a devastating blow to Jingzhou. Therefore, the mission of the envoy sent by Jingzhou is to rescue Huang She and give Huang Zu an explanation to Huang Zu as a veteran of Jingzhou and an old man who is foolish and loyal to Liu Biao. The second is that this crossbow can get the best. Even if you can't get it, you can't let Jiangdong get it. This is Kuai Liang's final task!

"Liu Biao in Jingzhou has also exists!" If Sun Ce only has this thing, Sun Ce is very confident that he can wipe out the entire Jingzhou difficulties for a year and then go north to the Central Plains to compete for hegemony. But now Liu Biao in Jingzhou may also have it, which makes Sun Ce feel unhappy! He began to complain about why Lu Bujun wanted to sell this thing, and he didn't think that if Lu Bujun didn't sell it, he could get this crossbow!

"Brother, don't worry, Mr. Zhang Zhao, you used the price of a thousand craftsmen to exchange for a month!" Sun Quan explained to Sun Ce.

"A month?!"

"Yes! Lu Bujun has made a promise that he will never give the drawings of the bed crossbow of Liu Biao in Jingzhou within a month!" Sun Quan told Sun Ce that Zhang Zhao's month was worth it.

"What if Lu Bujun deceives us!" Sun Ce said with a frown.

"No!" Sun Quan shook his head. This was written into the peace talks. If Lu Bujun deceived them, then he would really be a breach of trust.

"One month!" Sun Ce calmed down his voice. A month was not long or short. What he needed now was to use this month's blank period to bring the greatest benefits to Jiangdong and bring the greatest harm to Jingzhou. "Transfer our military order!" Sun Ce suddenly stood up.

"Lord!" Sun Ce became serious, and Sun Quan naturally had to follow the serious. His current identity is Sun Ce's younger brother and a minister of Sun Ce's army, so he also has to call Sun Ce the lord.

"Bo Fu, please send me an order. I'm worried about the craftsmen in Kuaiji, no, no!" Sun Ce shook his head. "I want you to notify the gentry. I want to inform the gentry. I want all the craftsmen who can make crossbows in Jiangdong who can appear in Kuaiji. I will give you half a month. I need you to load all these crossbows onto our warships!" Sun Ce repeatedly reduced the time. Because time was tight, the earlier the Sun Ce's navy would use the crossbows, the greater the benefits they would get!

If Zhou Yu, who was in Jiangxia, had used a crossbow one day earlier, then the battle situation in Jiangxia will be broken. At that time, Jiangxia will be able to fight in one fell swoop. If it is done well, he can still keep the 70,000 naval army of Old Biao. If he loses such a 70,000 elite force, I want to see how Old Biao, Liu Biao will gather another 70,000 naval army. This is what Sun Ce wants!

"Yes!" Sun Quan nodded. He also knew his elder brother's eagerness. Only by obtaining Jingzhou can their Sun family truly stand invincible. With the Yangtze River as a natural danger, he can completely set aside the river and stand on his own!
Chapter completed!
