Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 19 The Artisan Lu Hao
"Jiangdong Erqiao!" Zhao Feng sighed with some regret when he heard the news.As a time traveler, Jiangdong Erqiao was the woman he yearned for the most after he came to this world.It's a pity that he is too far away in Xuzhou, otherwise he would have to get in the way. At this time, Zhao Feng even complained why God didn't let him time travel to become Sun Ce or Zhou Yu.

"That's all!" Zhao Feng tried to comfort himself, and the best way to comfort him was naturally to divert his attention.At this time, the dozens of letters written by Guan Hai also received responses one after another. Most of the replies expressed their longing for Guan Hai's persuasion to surrender, but still hoped that Liu Bei could arrive in Yuzhou as soon as possible so that he could go to serve.After discussing with Liu Bei, Zhao Feng felt that what these people said was not hypocrisy, but rather that they were not sure about Liu Bei's strength, so they took a wait-and-see attitude.After all, if you old Liu can't even take Yuzhou down, then the defection of these people will be of little significance.

"This abacus is really good!" Zhao Feng murmured in his heart, but this is normal. In troubled times, if you stand on the wrong team, you will often die miserably, especially those who have been yellow scarves. Make more plans for your own future.In fact, after the main force of the Yellow Turbans was wiped out, none of those who were able to lead tens of thousands of remnant forces to gather in the mountains and forests were not human beings, and it was not so easy for them to come and join them.

Of course, this was the attitude of most people, and there were others like Du Yuan of Wo Niu Mountain who directly refused Guan Hai's offer to surrender, but Zhao Feng knew that this fellow was probably about to be slaughtered by his second boss, Liao Hua.In addition, there were also those with a more positive attitude. For example, Sun Guan, who had been entrenched in the neighboring Taishan County and Lu State, made it clear that he was willing to lead his troops to surrender immediately.

"Do you understand this Sun Guan Zhongfu?" After receiving Sun Guan's reply, Liu Bei immediately convened a discussion with everyone, and first asked Guan Hai about Sun Guan's details. "My lord, Sun Guan's name is Zhongtai. I have known someone for many years. Although this person's martial arts is not as good as mine, he is not far behind. Since the failure of the great virtuous teacher, he has led tens of thousands of horses to occupy Taishan County. As for whether he is sincere and helpful, I don't think it's fake, after all, we all know that occupying the mountains and forests is not a long-term solution." Guan Hai said honestly.

"In that case, let's go see this Sun Zhongtai." After a moment of pondering, Liu Bei had made up his mind.So according to the agreement, four days later, Zhao Feng, Liu Bei and others went to the territory of Lu State to contact Sun Guan.The whole negotiation process went smoothly beyond Zhao Feng's imagination. Firstly, Liu Bei's name was too shocking to the old Yellow Turbans. Secondly, Jian Yong's three-inch tongue was really powerful. The third was Guan Hai's own experience. , Sun Guan decided to go down the mountain to accept the recruitment less than an hour after meeting with Liu Bei.As for where to place these tens of thousands of people, after discussing with Zhao Feng, Liu Bei and Zhao Feng decided that it would be better to put them in the State of Lu.After all, Liu Bei is the shepherd of Yuzhou, played by Tao Qian, and the State of Lu is under his jurisdiction. Moreover, the State of Lu is now sparsely populated, and there are no obstacles from aristocratic families, and there are few obstacles to develop there.So with such a decision, more than [-] people from Sun Guan's department drove into the State of Lu.Liu Bei appointed Sun Guan as Prime Minister of the State of Lu in his capacity as the shepherd of Yuzhou. As for how to reorganize the Yellow Turban, Zhao Feng was even more familiar with it.After some rectification, there were nearly [-] elite and strong soldiers, and nearly [-] civilians.Since this year's spring plowing is too late, Liu Bei allocates grain from Xuzhou, and at the same time organizes manpower to grow miscellaneous grains such as sorghum as much as possible to reduce consumption as much as possible.

"General Zhao!" On this day, Zhao Feng was ordered to lead a group of civil servants to take office in the Lu Kingdom to assist in the governance. Sun Guan came to greet him personally after learning about it.But Zhao Feng didn't know that all of this was the result of Guan Hai's campaign for him. In his persuasion letter, Zhao Feng was highly praised. Sun Guan is so enthusiastic but also very happy.

On the same day, Sun Guan hosted a banquet in honor of Zhao Feng in the government office of the State of Lu. After drinking and eating, he personally accompanied Zhao Feng to visit the city of Lu State. Of course, the people's livelihood is poor now, and there is nothing to do.However, when he reached the top of the city, Zhao Feng's eyes were immediately attracted by the pile of wooden objects arranged in a row on the top of the city, and he quickly stepped forward to see what happened.

"Good stuff, good stuff!" Zhao Feng muttered involuntarily after touching it twice.This thing is nothing but a wooden ballista, which can fire sixteen giant arrows at a time.Zhao Feng had only seen ordinary bed crossbows in Xuzhou City before, and they could only fire two giant arrows at a time. How could this small country of Lu have such a powerful weapon?
"Prefect Sun, where did you get this good thing?" Zhao Feng asked hastily after recovering.He had already seen the structure of this thing just now. Like the bed crossbow, it was also powered by a winch. The difference was that he did not shoot the arrows directly, but placed sixteen huge arrows in four rows and four columns In the strip-shaped arrow box, the power of the winch is used to push the arrow box, so as to shoot the arrow.

"Oh, this one. It was made by a small soldier in our army. He went to the mountain the year before last. He was too thin to go to the battlefield, but he likes to tinker with these little gadgets. I didn't expect it to be quite useful." Sun Guan laughed.

"Can you bring him here for me?" Zhao Feng asked in a calm tone as much as possible, Sun Guanzi was optional, so he ordered a soldier beside him to call him.Not long after, the soldier brought a person, who looked really skinny and skinny.

"The villain Lu Hao (guest star of the book friend Sanqian Hongchen), has met the prefect." The visitor said to Sun Guan. "Lu Hao, this is General Zhao from Xuzhou City. If he has something to ask you, you should tell him everything." After Sun Guan gave the order, he waved his hand to signal him to get down.

"I have seen General Zhao." Lu Hao saluted Zhao Feng again. "Waiting, Lu Hao, did you invent this thing?" Zhao Feng asked as he looked at Lu Hao in front of him. He looked only in his 20s, and apart from being thin, he couldn't see anything special about it.

"General, it was made by villains." Lu Hao replied.

Talent, absolute talent!This was the first thought in Zhao Feng's mind.Although fighting in this era of cold weapons is mainly about manpower and material resources, the power of science and technology must not be ignored.Since this Lu Hao can develop this kind of treasure, then such a talent must not be buried.So Zhao Feng asked Sun Guan for this Lu Hao, and Sun Guan would not care about this little soldier, so he naturally agreed.

"So you are from the Mohist family." On the way back to Xiaopei, Zhao Feng briefly asked about Lu Hao's background, and found that this fellow was actually a heir of the Mohist family who was good at making mechanisms. "Exactly, the villain has been thin since he was a child and couldn't do farm work, so he learned the Mohist mechanism-making technique from an old gentleman in his hometown." Lu Hao replied.

If this is the case, then I can't let you go, Zhao Feng secretly made up his mind, he must use this talent to get ahead of Cao Cao and get all the high-tech equipment like trebuchets.In fact, since the time travel, Zhao Feng wanted to use the mechanical knowledge he learned in his previous life to create these things more than once.But firstly, I was too busy with war and farming, and secondly, I didn't learn much in the two years of university, so I haven't been able to design anything decent.Now that we have this talent, we can hand over the design to him, and improve it by ourselves. It should be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

"Lu Hao, I appointed you as my personal guard chief. You don't care about fighting, and you design these siege equipment for me." Zhao Feng ordered, and Lu Hao was naturally overjoyed.Of course, what Lu Hao absolutely didn't know was that the excitement in Zhao Feng's heart was definitely stronger than his.

"Talent, talent." Zhao Feng kept talking all the way back to Xiaopei, and even after seeing Liu Bei, he was still a little out of his wits, making Liu Bei think that he met some girl on the way, and was fascinated.

"That's right. Since he is the heir of the Mohist family, let him obey Bo Tao's orders." Liu Bei didn't care much after hearing Zhao Feng's explanation, and just confessed.It wasn't until later when Liu Bei fought in the South and the North that he felt that this order he had inadvertently brought him unexpected gains. "This is God's gift to me!" Liu Bei exclaimed.
