The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

The manufacturing site of the thunderbolt chariot was not in the city, but it was placed in the same place as the site where the water army built warships. They were all on the edge of the Han River. Riding a fast horse, about an hour later, Lu Yi came to the military camp of the Han River. .

This is a craftsman's camp, which is full of craftsmen who come and go, as well as various people who have been recruited. Outside the big camp, people who cut and transport wood from the mountains can be seen from time to time.

The Han River is also full of sawdust, just floating on the surface of the water, and some of them still have twigs and green leaves covered with bark, attracting a group of birds to stop on them.

The master general of the craftsman battalion was Chen Lan. Chen Lan had already been notified of the news that Lu Yi was coming. At this time, he was already leading his subordinates and stood respectfully outside the camp.

Seeing Lu Yi's arrival, Chen Lan hurriedly stepped forward and shouted loudly: "The last general, Chen Lan, welcome my lord! Water and wine have been prepared in the camp..."

"General Chen, you don't need to be polite! Take me to see the thunderbolt car!" Lu Yi waved his hand to stop Chen Lan's routine. He didn't like these formalities, but he still felt more comfortable going straight.

Chen Lan had followed Lu Yi for a while, so she naturally knew Lu Yi's temper, so she hurriedly followed her smiling face and took someone to pick up the thunderbolt car in person.

They even sent people to build a simple tent on a hill not far away, placed a few straw figures, and some soldiers ran to move stones to make preparations in advance. Everything was in order.

This made Lu Yi nod secretly. Although Chen Lan was not good at fighting, he handled some military affairs in an orderly manner. [

Soon, Chen Lan and a dozen soldiers arrived outside the camp in a huge catapult.

Lu Yi looked at the Thunderbolt chariot, which was square and square, like the carriage of a carriage.

Below are four huge wheels, which can move forward. In the center of the thunderbolt car, there is another huge thing like a wooden spoon, which is covered with various ropes and tendons. Perhaps for defensive reasons, the vehicle's Surrounded by a layer of raw cowhide.

In short, the first impression that the thunderbolt car gave Lu Yi was that it was grand and stable, just like its wheels. Many civil and military spectators also looked at this thunderbolt car in amazement.

Gan Ning and Hu Che'er were bolder, even ran up to touch it, and exclaimed, "My lord, this is the thunderbolt chariot. It looks pretty good. Could it be that it can release the thunderbolt?"

"My old grandson can't see it, but I think the spoon is so big, it takes a big mouth to eat with this thing!" Sun Guan screamed again and again, ran over to touch left and right.

Sun Guan's words immediately made everyone laugh. Lu Yi also shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, General Sun. That is not a spoon for eating, but a sharp weapon for killing people! General Chen, have you figured it out? This car How far can you go?"

"Back to the lord, we have already calculated, the farthest is 150 steps! This is still the beginning of manufacturing, and the craftsmen are not skilled, and they may go further in the future!" Chen Lan hurriedly said.

"There are 150 steps? It's still a huge boulder weighing tens of kilograms! If you can use it to attack the city, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

Chen Lan's words surprised everyone, Zhang Liao was even more joyful, and looked at the Thunderbolt car with hot eyes.

Only Lu Yi's face remained calm, he was mentally prepared after all, so he didn't look particularly surprised, but let Chen Lan do the first throw of the Perak car.

Chen Lan didn't say much, and hurriedly led dozens of soldiers to position the thunderbolt chariot. Then, after a long time of gestures, she made sure that she was aiming at the tent on the hill in the distance.

Everyone held their breath at this moment, and looked into the distance without blinking.

bump!

Just when everyone was waiting, suddenly, there was a whistling sound in everyone's ears, and under the control of many soldiers, the stone on the Thunderbolt chariot flew out with a sharp whistling.It hit the distant hill accurately. [

Boom!

The originally built tent was smashed and collapsed immediately, splashing countless dust!

Everyone looked at Feichen in the distance in shock, and was speechless for a long time. There was even a hint of pride in Liu Ye's eyes.

It wasn't until a while later that everyone came to their senses and congratulated Lu Yi. Chen Gong became even more excited, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, this thunder chariot is really a sharp weapon for attacking the city!"

Jia Xu also nodded, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, my lord, if we have this thing, our army's ability to attack the city will definitely increase!"

"Hahaha... Everyone should congratulate me and praise Ziyang. If Ziyang hadn't presented the blueprint, how could I have this sharp weapon?"

However, Lu Yi shook his head and drew everyone's attention to Liu Ye. Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted one after another, and began to praise Liu Ye one after another.

Only Gan Ning, just fixed his eyes on the Perak car beside him, with a pensive look on his face, looking a little dull.

Lu Yi noticed Gan Ning's silence, felt strange, and was about to ask a question.At this moment, on the official road in the distance, there were bursts of hooves of fast horses.

A black war horse came galloping, and the knight on the horse rushed up to Lu Yi, rolled off the saddle, and shouted loudly: "My lord, something is wrong, the Five Dou Rice Sect in Xicheng has gathered a crowd to rebel, and now it has occupied Xicheng and turned against Jingzhou." went!"

"What? The west city is rebelled?"

Many civil servants were surprised, and some couldn't believe their ears.Only a few people such as Liu Ye had such an expression on their faces.

Lu Yi and Jia Xu even looked at each other, seeing the clarity in each other's eyes. As early as a few days ago, he and Jia Xu were worried that the west city was far away from Hanzhong, which was a hidden danger.It's just that I didn't expect that Xicheng would rebel so quickly.

"Report! My lord, Yizhou urgent report!"

Just when everyone was still shocked by the rebellion in Xicheng, another fast horse came running from a distance, and the same spy got off his horse and said loudly: "My lord, Jianjiaguan Yizhou soldiers are dispatched, and they seem to be heading towards Let Nanzheng kill him!"

"How many people, who is leading the army?"

When he heard that Lian Yizhou soldiers were dispatched, Lu Yi couldn't calm down, so he hurriedly asked.

"There is an army of [-], and the general is Zhang Ren! It is said that in five days, Zhang Ren will enter the army!" The spy said honestly.

It turned out to be Zhang Ren again?Why did the news come out in advance?

Lu Yi's face was a bit strange, but he was relieved in his heart. As long as the Yizhou soldiers were not mobilized, he was still confident that he could resist.

If Liu Zhang really came out in full force, then he would be desperate.

Without staying here for a long time, Lu Yi immediately led everyone back to Nanzheng. Everyone's expressions were gloomy, and they filed into the meeting hall. Come to the earth to cover up, the general is willing to lead the army to deal with Zhang Ren!"

"Hehe, Uncle Zhang, be safe and don't be impatient. Our troops are limited, so we can't be reckless. We'd better listen to the opinions of the military advisers!" Lu Yi nodded to Zhang Liao, motioned him to sit down, and then looked at Liu Ye and Jia Xu.

Jia Xu looked coldly, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Master, Liu Zhang is weak, and Pang Yi has always had a different heart. Now the news that Zhang Ren is going to enter the army must be from Pang Yi. My lord should quickly lead the army to recapture the west city, and take a peek at Shangyong, otherwise, once Liu Biao garrisons heavy troops, the land of the west city will not belong to the lord!"

Lu Yi nodded, looked at Liu Ye again, and asked, "What does Zi Yang think?"

Liu Ye was more cautious. After pondering for a while, he frowned and said, "My lord, I agree with Wen He. The top priority is to seize the west city first! However, if the lord's army is dispatched, if Yizhou uses the whole prefecture's strength to attack, Hanzhong may not be able to hold it! Therefore, I think it is best for us to think of a way to delay Liu Zhang's dispatch of troops, and then take back Shangyong with a thunderbolt!"

"Mr. Liu, although your method is good, but now we and Liu Zhang are enemies, how can we delay him? Is it possible to bribe him with a lot of money?"

Zhao Yun frowned and asked a little puzzled.

Liu Ye smiled wryly when he heard the words, and sighed, "Even if we bribe a lot of money, Liu Zhang may not agree to a truce. We have to think of another way!"

Lu Yi was taken aback, and after a long time, Liu Ye only gave an idea, so there were no specific measures.Looking at everyone, they are all thinking hard, and I am afraid that they will not be able to come up with specific countermeasures in a short time.

This made it even more difficult for Lu Yi. He didn't want to give up on Xicheng.That is the gateway to the east of Hanzhong, a strategic point to enter the Central Plains, and Lu Yi will never allow it to be lost.

However, Yizhou soldiers are now eyeing them like a tiger.Seeing that the army is about to be sent out, if he takes the main force to go out at this time, wouldn't it just give Zhang Ren an opportunity to take advantage of it.

what can we do about it?

Lu Yi fell into deep thought.Is it really necessary to use huge sums of money to bribe officials in Yizhou to persuade Liu Zhang to retreat?That seems unrealistic, unless it is something that Liu Zhang cannot refuse, some gold and silver, how can Liu Zhang, who is sitting in the land of abundance, see it in his eyes?

Suddenly, when Lu Yi thought of this, an idea flashed in his mind, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, I have a solution, maybe I can make Liu Zhang suspend the dispatch of troops." !"
