The whole Xu Du started to be in chaos. Cao Cao rode a war horse and chased him out in the end, but he didn't even see Liu Ye's shadow. He thought Liu Ye would go back to Xu Du, but Xun You, who was in charge of Xu Du, shook his head and said that he had never seen Liu Ye at all, and there was no Liu Ye's figure in Liu Ye's mansion! Liu Ye joined Cao Cao's army alone with Liu Xun, so he could be said to have no concern. Except for a house given by Cao Cao, there are all things outside of his body, and Liu Ye didn't even look at it!

"Hate! Hate! I don't know the gold and jade!" Cao Cao's intestines were almost regretful. Such a talent was let go by him. He remembered the scene where Liu Ye spoke from the beginning. At that time, it should be when Liu Ye wanted to report this crossbow to himself! But because of his concern for Liu Ye, he gave up such an opportunity!

The wisdom of the ancients was terrifying! Liu Mang relied on a bunch of books to transform the crossbow, but Liu Ye was transformed by Cao Cao's information on the crossbow and the old-fashioned crossbow. Although he only had 250 steps and could only shoot twice in a row, he could design something much more sophisticated than the current one as long as he gave Liu Ye time!

"Lord, forget it if you can't catch it!" Guo Jia was also helpless, blaming him for being one step late! If he could not drink, he could have discovered the crossbow earlier, maybe Liu Ye would have played under Cao Cao's command now! Guo Jia also got the scene of Cao Cao treating Liu Ye from other generals. Liu Ye wanted to say something but was driven out, and even Guo Jia could not stand such a scene!

You should know that Guo Jia was once loyal to Yuan Shao. It was because of Yuan Shao’s disdain for himself and his uselessness that Guo Jia changed his family and defected to Cao Cao. Therefore, literati still have integrity. Once you touch on this integrity, you may lead to leaving!

"You don't know, Fengxiao! I'm afraid, I'm really afraid!" How could Cao Cao not be afraid! He missed such a talent. If he went to seclusion, it would be fine. If he changed to a seclusion, it would be a huge threat! What Cao Cao feared most now is that Liu Ye will surrender to his biggest enemy, Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu. Originally, Cao's army and Yuan Shao's army were three times different in strength. If Liu Ye went to Yuan Shao's place again, it would be really fun!

"Don't worry, lord!" Guo Jia comforted Cao Cao, "Zi Yang will not surrender to Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu!" Guo Jia was not talking empty words, but a fact. You have to know that even people like Cao Cao are so concerned about Liu Ye. Not to mention Yuan Shao, who is disdainful of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ye can get a false position if he surrenders to Cao Cao. He can get a position of a nine minister. When he arrives at Yuan Shao! Not to mention the official position, he may be almost a minor official at most! Those positions with real power have been occupied by those Hebei families! Even if Yuan Shao wants to reuse Liu Ye, there will be a lot of people. At that time, even if Yuan Shao wants to reuse Liu Ye, there will be a lot of people.

The Hebei gentry stood up to destroy the situation, so Guo Jia believed that Liu Ye was a smart person and he would never be able to surrender to Yuan Shao! And you must know that Yuan Shao was simply disdainful of this crossbow. He always thought that the battle in the Yangtze River Basin was fake. In his opinion, there were only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jiangdong and Jingzhou. It was interesting! Waiting for him to destroy Cao Cao's army, it was not like the wind to escape, so the only one who did not send a gift like Lu Bu and the only one who did not say that he wanted to buy and sell a crossbow was Yuan Shao. He was crazy enough, so it was because he had the capital!

"My brother Benchu's personality has really helped me a lot!" Cao Cao was also having fun in pain. Don't worry about Liu Ye for now, and solve the big trouble in front of Yuan Benchu ​​first! "Fengxiao. Are you really sure to imitate the crossbow!" If Liu Ye was not worried at all, Cao Cao was invented by Liu Ye anyway, he naturally knew how to build it, but now he had to prepare. Guo Jia is a top strategist but not good at learning the machinery!

"Lord, you don't need Jia to come forward, so there are Xu Du's craftsmen to analyze!" The science of the mechanism is not good at Guo Jia, so Guo Jia doesn't show any ugliness. With Xu Du's craftsmen, just teach them these! After dismantling the crossbow, it's hard to imitate the parts one by one. He didn't believe that it could not be made again, let alone the basic drawings found in Liu Ye's tent in their hands.

"There is no problem with the crossbow here! What you need now is lord, you can hold on to Guandu!" What Guo Jia wants now is Cao Cao to defend Yuan Shao's next fierce attack. Only by defending Guandu can the crossbow be able to exert its power behind it. Don't talk about everything if Guandu breaks it!

"Don't worry, Fengxiao, your lord, although I am already dizzy and can't even tell the talents, I'm not a fool. The 100,000 army in hand will not be able to break this Guandu for at least three months!" Cao Cao had his own confidence. If it weren't for Cao Cao's becoming the mystery of the vassals, Cao Cao would have been a warrior who was both civil and military. You must know that before Cao Cao became a prince, he had participated in the extermination of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. At that time,

Under the command of the old general Huang Pusong, Cao Cao could often make some good suggestions. At that time, Cao Cao often led the army to charge, just like Lu Bu! He took the lead, but later Cao Cao changed his role as a lord, and he also knew the preciousness of his life. He taught him the charge to his subordinates. However, because of his love for combat and his high martial arts skills, Lu Bu did not completely change! However, these two people have their own advantages and disadvantages!

Lu Bu's advantage is that as long as Lu Bu is not dead, the fighting spirit is endless, so the soldiers of Lu Bu's army have strong attack power and dare to fight desperately, and they are very strong, and they have sufficient morale. Who makes their lord the God of War? Only where there is Lu Bu, there are places for them to attack! The disadvantage is that once Lu Bu is killed or besieged! Then the attack on the morale of the entire army is fatal! After the three heroes fight Lu Bu, the eighteen princes can take down Hulao Pass, because the defenders in Hulao Pass no longer have the morale to defend, and even the God of War is defeated! Where are they still opponents!

Cao Cao changed his command behind the formation, which brought him security and it was impossible for him to lose his lord to fight in a battle, which would cause the entire vassal state to collapse. However, it also brought about the fact that Cao Cao's soldiers would never become the world's number one warrior like Lu Bu's army. This can be seen from the duel between the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry!

Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is terrifying, he is still one point behind the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. He can only be defeated by Lu Bu's army in a head-on battle!

Cao Cao said that a hundred thousand troops block Yuan Shao's army for three months was a modest statement. If he really wanted to defend himself, Cao Cao could hold on for at least half a year! And Yuan Shao would at least lose hundreds of thousands of troops, otherwise he would not have to break through Guandu!

"Haha, then lord, I promise you that the crossbow will be built for you before Guandu is broken!" Guo Jia also joked. He knew that Cao Cao was under great pressure, and now he was trying hard to share the pressure for Cao Cao!

"You prodigal son! Don't collect my body!" Cao Cao smiled and punched Guo Jia. Only when he was with Guo Jia, Cao Cao could really laugh! Otherwise, Cao Cao's words and deeds in other places would reveal a message to others, even at home! Since Cao Ang's death, Cao Cao found that his sons were unfamiliar, and his family affection was less reversal, but a seriousness between superiors and subordinates! This has to be said to be a tragedy!

The battle of Guandu began! Yuan Shao's troops continued to attack the Guandu camp. Cao Cao did not take Cheng Yu's method to divide his troops to Langya, Xuzhou to attack Qingzhou. Instead, he divided 100,000 troops into two parts, and took turns to defend Guandu, which was to prevent Yuan Shao's army from moving forward. Cao Cao's navy in the camp also hid in the camp to avoid war. The construction of the crossbow also required warships to be loaded.

The larger the scale of the war, the bigger it was. From the temptation of thousands of people at the beginning to the attack of tens of thousands later, Yuan Shao was no longer patient. He directly attacked! The Yellow River Basin above Guandu and the Red River Basin became the Red River Basin. The entire river was covered with corpses and blood dyed a large area of ​​red!

Liu Mang didn’t know about the war in Guandu. What Liu Mang knew was that he had married! He has only now truly confirmed the name of Lu Bu’s son-in-law. Now he can really tell others that my father-in-law is called Lu Bu!

Miss Lu's transformation also made Liu Mang very strange. Miss Lu, who was once barbaric and unreasonable all day long, disappeared, but became a gentle and considerate person, thinking about Liu Mang everywhere. If it weren't for the birthmark on Miss Lu's breasts, Liu Mang would have thought Lu Bu had two daughters! Liu Mang would either marry three! His wife Lu Qiling and his fair wife Yuan Fang, and his beloved concubine would naturally be He Yu! He Yu would not dare to appear in the name of Qiao Yu, so he could only become Liu Mang's concubine. That night, Liu Mang was very busy! His waist was almost broken when he woke up the next morning!

Now Liu Mang is really moving towards Shouchun! After passing Shiting and Shucheng, he was almost held back by Zhang Liao Zangba of Shucheng and wanted to stay for a few more days, but Liu Mang left when he had something to do! The army arrived in Hefei in just a few days. Hefei is not the modern provincial capital city, and now Hefei is just a county! After the war, it was very desolate and there were not many people, so the army entered the city and stationed directly. When the army arrived in Hefei, the scout in front suddenly brought back a news that made Liu Mang very distressed, that is, Shouchun had been occupied! There was a green battle flag on it, and the big Liu character was written on it!

The green battle flag? Liu's character Liu Mang almost thought it was the battle flag of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but in the end it was impossible, because Liu Biao, a city guard in Jingzhou, could not stretch out his hand to Shouchun for such a long time. Even if he could reach Shouchun, what use can Shouchun be for him! It's not in Jingzhou, and it's almost thousands of miles away from Jingzhou! How can you defend such a place even if you fight!

Shouchun is still close to Cao Cao's territory. Liu Biao was afraid that Cao Cao would block Zhang Xiu from Wancheng in front of him. It would be better to be a turtle to live like the Supreme Emperor of Jingzhou. How could you let Liu Biao come out and face Cao Cao directly?

Then the scout sent another message, and there was a Guan flag above the green Liu banner, which was the main general's flag!

Guan? There are only a few people in the Three Kingdoms surname! For example, Guan Ping and Guan Yu, the second master of Guan Yu, the most important thing is that these people are all family members! Then now with a green banner, it is clear who Liu Zi is!

"Uncle Paopuan Liu Bei and Liu Da'er?!" Liu Mang finally guessed who the person who occupied Shouchun was!

That's right, it's our dear Uncle Paopau Liu. After Liu made Lu Bu insult, he let Lao Cao get Xuzhou. Unexpectedly, Uncle Paopau also bite Lao Cao and occupied Xuzhou by himself. He used the Qingzhou soldiers assigned to him by Lao Cao. He forced Lao Cao to lead the army to fight in person. He pretended to be a grandson in front of Yuan Shao and solved Liu Bei's grandson! He also brought a Yuan Bairi (abbreviated as Yuan Bairi in Bai Dream). This can be said to be a buy one free.

After being driven out of Xuzhou by Cao Cao, Cao Cao could not kill Liu Bei because of his two brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. In addition, Yuan Shao forced him everywhere, Cao Cao could only turn a blind eye to Liu Bei and Liu Paopao out of Xuzhou like he had sent Lu Bu away, just like he was sending the plague god. Who knew that Liu Bei did not go to Qingzhou to cross the Yellow River to Hebei, but went to Runan, Yuzhou. Because there was a loyal fan and younger brother Liu Pijun, Runan, there, there.

At least he had 20,000 Yellow Turban Army under his command. In addition, when Liu Paopao escaped, he brought more than 10,000 people and had 30,000 main forces. Every time Liu Paopao left a place, he would have to carry a lot of people. This time he left Xuzhou, he took away nearly half of the people in Xuzhou. If Cao Cao hadn't been forced by Yuan Shao, he might have really chased Liu Paopao for thousands of miles. He transferred 20,000 elite troops from the people brought out and the people of Runan to form a 50,000 army!

How could a small Runan be raised by a 50,000 army? So Liu Paopu sent his general Guan Yu and the second master to occupy the three cities of Ruyin on Yingshang in Shouchun! If he hadn't been afraid that he might get too close to Lujiang, he might have attracted Lu Bu's old hatred, which might have directly occupied Hefei!

"Liu Bei occupied Shouchun!" Huang Zhong, Xu Sheng and Gan Ning were thinking, this is not good news! Although Shouchun was dilapidated, he was also a capital in Yangzhou. After being defeated by Cao Cao, he was repaired by Yuan Shu. The last one was Yang Hong, because repairing Shouchun was his work. Although Yang Hong always made mistakes in his strategy, don't forget that he knew in general, and he knew that only Yuan Shu could be good! Therefore, the city wall of Shouchun was built really strongly under Yang Hong's appointment. He didn't know how many Liu Bei's soldiers were in this Shouchun. If there were tens of thousands, it would be really difficult to rely on the people under Liu Mang's current subordinates!

Gan Ning has 12,000 naval troops, 3,000 city management troops and 3,000 black chess troops, which total only 18,000! If there were 18,000 people in this city, it would be really difficult to deal with. Should we retreat now and ask Lu Bu for troops!

"Good news! It's really good news!" Just when everyone was in a dilemma, Liu Mang was the most optimistic one. He only heard Liu Mang clapping his hands and showing a smile on his face, as if he had encountered good news!

"Hungry?!" Everyone looked at Liu Mang's expressions and changed. Huang Zhong even had a little doubt that he was mentally ill after being taken back by his lord last time and was under great psychological pressure.

"Look at me, why aren't this good news?" There are quite a few people who have a grudge against Lu Bu's army! But there are only two people who can make Lu Bu's army feel frustrated and feel frustrated! One is Cao Cao and the other is Liu Bei. Those who have grudges like Sun Ce are like Sun Ce, who makes Sun Ce hate Lu Bu's army for being Sun Ce, but dealing with these two princes is Lu Bu's army for being a loss!

Lao Cao cannot touch him now, and he still hopes that Lao Cao will help Lu Bu's army to resist Yuan Shao! If the only one who can attack Cao Cao now is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao has an army of 300,000! If Lao Cao is defeated, the next one will be Lu Bu's army. Although Lu Bu's army is strong, it cannot withstand the 300,000 army! So Lao Cao cannot be defeated now! On the contrary, Liu Mang also plans to help Lao Cao, at least so that he can have more opportunities to consume Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will fall deeply into the war!

And Liu Bei didn't have so many concerns! Originally, if Liu Paopao ran to Hebei, Lu Bu's army might have been very depressed because Hebei was too far away and Lu Bu's army could not reach it! But now, Liu Paopao ran to Runan, and now he is even more in Shouchun! Isn't this a thing of hatred? What's more, Liu Mang also knew that Liu Paopao would inevitably take a lot of people away from this place whenever he went to a place! Shouchun was just short of people, so Liu Mang decided to fight Liu Paopao, not for others, just for those people, and Liu Paopao also wanted to fight.

What's more, who is the happiest person to fight Liu Paopao? Lu Bu also hated Liu Bei to the core. If Liu Bei and Cao Cao hadn't cooperated with each other, Lu Bu would have run to Lujiang! As for what he is now! He is not a fool, so he let the twelve counties of Xuzhou not want to go to Lujiang to fight a war with Sun Ce and then occupy Shouchun, which has few people?

"Now, let's reorganize the army in Hefei!" Liu Mang asked his subordinates to prepare. Hefei is also a territory that Liu Mang needs to occupy, so it doesn't matter if the army is here! Shouchun's city is tall, and although it has been defeated by Cao Cao, it has also been repaired, so it is not worse than the important towns like Wancheng!

Liu Mang is not Sun Ce and he doesn’t have a 100,000 army. He is now only 20,000 people. Most of them are naval troops. So Liu Mang can’t afford such siege battles. Even if he can’t afford to spend all his battles, how can he protect Shouchun?

Therefore, you must use something to attack the city. This thing is a new weapon that Liu Mang wants to experiment with. In other words, it should be an improved version of the second generation of bed crossbows!

Liu Mang was not in a hurry. Although only after taking Shouchun could we build a dock and build a warship, Liu Mang's current warship still has many things to think about! Shipbuilding is not about building wherever it is thought, it will be too late to modify it if something is wrong! So for these days, Liu Mang has been discussing with the top talents among the craftsmen how to build this ship!

Now that Shouchun is occupied by Liu Paopuo, Liu Mang can think about the problem of this warship for a while before preparing the new weapon!

"Uncle Hong. Go and help me put the recruitment orders all over Hefei!" Yuan Fang, Liu Mang's fair wife Yuan Shu's precious daughter, called Uncle Hong to Yang Hong, and Liu Mang naturally shouted with Yuan Fang.

"Yes!" Yang Hong nodded. This recruitment order was Liu Mang's plan, but it was not implemented in Lujiang. After all, Lu Bu still had to worry about the price of offending the gentry in the world. So with the help of Lu Jun, Lu Jun recommended several good talents, the old man Chen almost gave up this plan! However, Old Man Chen would not give up if he gave up Liu Mang! Aristocrats? Liu Mang also knew that this was a large force representing a level of power! They occupied two percent of the world's population, but 80 percent of the world's resources, but so what if it was that!

The aristocratic families are already too corrupt. They are just children of aristocratic families in feudal forms. Under Liu Mang's plan, they will be eliminated and a new class will replace them! Liu Mang is the person who promotes the emergence of this class. When those heavy armors cannot resist the arrow branch, when those gentry can no longer grasp the officialdom, when the land owns but no one goes to farm, it is when the new class replaces the old gentry. This is why Liu Mang destroyed most of the gentry in Wancheng without any scruples. Although Yang Hong has always reminded him, he is always interrupted by Liu Mang with my own sense of responsibility.

Chen Gong and the others don’t need to recruit talents, so let him use it! When Liu Mang left Wancheng, he received Lu Bu’s promise. This Shouchun generation, including Hefei Gushi, Anfeng, Hefei Lujiang, all of these cities belong to Liu Mang. Liu Mang did whatever he wanted!

What he needed to get from Liu Mang in the end was a powerful navy and a continuous supply of food and grass.

"Uncle Hong, it's not just Hefei. You asked Chengyu to send the cavalry battalion of the Urban Management Army to me to Chengde, Anfeng, Gushi, and Lujiang all spread the recruitment orders. If possible, you can also sneak into Shouchun and even send someone to cross Yingshui to spread the recruitment orders for me!" Even the talents of the entire Shouchun generation were limited, so Liu Mang wanted to broadcast the fishing net, and he wanted to salvage talents! Only by obtaining those talents can you stand in troubled times!

Yang Hong and the others believed that only by obtaining the support of the gentry, the hearts of the gentry, can they get the world, and Liu Mang's idea is indeed supported by those talents and the hearts of those talents! The 21st century is a world of talents, and it also applies in this late Eastern Han Dynasty! The late Eastern Han Dynasty is also an era of talents! Those who win talents win the world!
