Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Outside Chang'an's factory, on an unowned wasteland, there were several tables with grenades on them, and hundreds of soldiers standing behind them.

Standing in front of the table, Chen Yang picked up one of the hands. Lei weighed it for a moment, and felt that it was quite heavy.

"We tested it this morning. As long as the fuse is pulled, it can be ignited automatically, and then thrown out as soon as possible, and it will explode after a while. This is more convenient than ordinary firearms, and it does not need an open flame to ignite."

Ma Jun introduced excitedly: "This kind of firearm is also more powerful, and the fragments inside explode, just like cannonballs, splashing everywhere, and the killing range is greatly enhanced."

"well done!"

This was exactly the weapon Chen Yang wanted. He looked at the open space in front of him, and someone immediately brought two wooden boards and stood them on both sides of the open space.

Chen Yang pulled the fuse of one of the pistols and threw it to the open space with force.

After the grenade landed on the ground, white smoke came out first, and then it exploded with a "boom", the flames splashed and the gunpowder smoke filled the air.

Under this effect, the two wooden boards vibrated for a while, and then shattered into several pieces. It can be seen that the power is not weak at all, and it is stronger than the previous firearms.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, Chen Yang walked to the place where the grenade landed, and a pit was blown out. The top of the two wooden boards was covered with debris, and the broken place was crushed by the debris.

If this thing is directly blown on the human body, how terrible it will be. One can imagine that it can also tear the human body into pieces. It is smaller than ordinary firearms and more portable.

Although it can't be shot from a distance like artillery, but in close combat, find the right time to throw it into the enemy, or throw it out during an ambush, and the effect is powerful enough.

"My lord, this is amazing!"

Looking at the two wooden boards, Wei Yan first exclaimed. He didn't expect such a small grenade to explode with such powerful power.

Chen Yang is really powerful, with various weapons emerging one after another.

Ye Shun said with enthusiasm: "If these things are equipped in our army, who will dare to approach us in the future? If they dare, they will be bombed."

Chen Yang nodded and said, "You're right. Ma Jun has to be produced as soon as possible. If we don't have the money to ask Mi Liang or Lao Fang for it, we escaped from Lujiang with a lot of money, right?"

"For now, there is enough money."

Ma Jun nodded and said: "However, to make firearms, it is best to be a skilled craftsman. All the craftsmen in the past stayed in Lujiang. We have no way to take them away. Now we still need to train them. This will take time."

"This is indeed a problem."

Chen Yang said: "But in the factory, you are in charge, and I can trust you."

"Thank you my lord!"

Ma Jun said quickly.

"Husband, I also have credit for this grenade, how can you thank me?"

Huang Yueying raised her head playfully and said.

"Let's go back and talk."

Chen Yang touched her little nose, then returned to the table before he knew it, and continued: "Ye Shun, find 500 people first, you can practice throwing, and make some things with the same weight as hand and thunder to practice. Cultivate a group of soldiers who can skillfully use grenades. Within the range of throwing distance, I can hit wherever I want them to hit. Errors are allowed but not too large."

"I see!"

Ye Shun said.

"And as I said, I also want to improve the bow and crossbow. Can this be changed?"

When Chen Yang came last time, he mentioned it again.

"It might be a little difficult."

Huang Yueying shook her head and said, "The current crossbow is the most powerful one we have. If we change it again, Ma Jun and I don't know where to start."

The same is true of Ma Jun's thoughts.

"Forget it. I'll think about what stronger weapons I have in the future, and I'll bring them up for you to try."

Chen Yang didn't get too entangled in this matter. After the test, he went back to Chang'an, but just after entering the city gate, Guan Yu came to find him, saying that Cao Ren had come from Xiangyang.

Cao Ren actually came here from Xiangyang?

This made Chen Yang very curious, he hesitated for a while, and asked someone to take him to Weiyang Palace.

"Zian, why are you here like an emperor?"

Cao Ren cried out in surprise as soon as he entered the door, and he didn't intend to be polite to Chen Yang at all.

"Emperor or not, I don't have the ability, I just happen to have a place to live."

Chen Yang said with a smile: "Could it be that General Cao let me go before, and was discovered by Cao Cao, and then you escaped and had to come to join me?"

"You think too much, the discovery is indeed discovered, but I didn't come to defect."

Cao Ren sat down casually and said, "Your Majesty asked me to come to you."

"Is it possible that he still wants to admit his mistake to me, and then ask me to go back?"

Chen Yang asked curiously.

"Of course not. Your Majesty asked me to tell you, can we cooperate? You send troops to Luoyang and help us defend Luoyang, while we fight Sima Yi?"

Cao Ren still felt quite ashamed as he spoke, why did Chen Yang help them?

There was no reason at all, Xu Shu and the others knew to make plans indiscriminately, without considering the feasibility.

Chen Yang said with a smile: "You want me to guard Luoyang? If I go to guard Luoyang, it will always be mine and not belong to any of you. Are you sure you really want to do this?"

Helping Cao Cao defend Luoyang, they are also ashamed to make such a request.

What's more, Luoyang had nothing to do with Cao Cao in the first place, it was taken down by Chen Yang and Cao Ang together.

Cao Ren said embarrassingly: "Anyway, I brought this news here. As for whether to do it or not, that's up to you, Zi'an. To be honest, I don't want to come here, but I'm so sorry for you."

"General Cao, don't say that, you helped me back then."

Chen Yang thought for a while and said, "Come here, prepare a residence for General Cao, and I will host a banquet tonight."

"No need, Zian, you won't agree, right?"

Cao Ren shook his head and said, "I'll go back right away."

Speaking of which, he really left like this. He left Chang'an that day, and he had no intention of staying any longer, and he was embarrassed.

Chen Yang didn't want to stay, and sent him out of the city gate.

"My lord, why didn't we agree to him, and then took the opportunity to get Luoyang?"

Jiang Wei asked puzzledly.

"Now I can only help Cao Cao, not take it."

Chen Yang said: "If I take it, Cao Cao will not let me go, and Sima Yi will certainly not. If I get Luoyang, it will be easy to fight until Jizhou."

"When the time comes, Cao Cao will be encouraged by Cao Pi, and maybe he will join hands with Sima Yi to suppress me."

"If I help him guard, if I don't take it, why should I help him guard Luoyang?"

Now Cao Cao, without any qualifications or reasons, can direct Chen Yang to do anything.
