The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 181

Majestic, swallowing mountains and rivers.

Five hundred iron pagodas are connected five by five on the [-]-foot-wide, flat, gravel-free circular school field. The iron chains clang and go hand in hand. The combined weight of horses and cavalry armor exceeds [-]. The European-style armor wraps the knight from head to toe tightly. , even the eyes showed only a slit, the armor was bright and bright, and circles of dazzling blue light radiated from the sun, mighty and stunning, as if being neatly sandwiched between two invisible walls.The armor of the war horse is made into a war skirt shape, with more than [-] circles of white scales, and the middle is connected with hemp rope soaked in water, like layers of skirts wrapped around the horse's neck.This will not affect the movement of the horse when it is running. The horse's head is made of an iron mask, leaving only a pair of eyes to see the road.The same is true on the horse's legs, but the horseshoe joints are exposed.The body of the horse is relatively simple. It is fastened under the belly with scales of moderate size, directly covered, and the saddle is placed on it.

The Tiefutu warrior's knife was out of its sheath, and it was raised high above its head. The horse stood at attention and looked ahead with piercing eyes.The heavy cavalry creates a powerful deterrent force on the battlefield, reflecting the invincible strength and confidence.I led a group of civil and military soldiers to the commander's platform on the third floor on the east side of the battlefield. The flags were flying on the battlefield, and the army was in full swing.Wrapped in armor, Tiefutu's morale was high, shouting "The lord will win, and the Hebei army will win." The voice is mixed with infinite murderous aura, and my nose has already smelled the smell of blood.There are soldiers here, like butchers with knives.

At dawn, the milky white mist was dispelled by the pale light spots reflected from the armor and swords. The breath of death was stirring in the sky of Jizhou City. Civil servants and generals——

The red flag in Tibetan Ba's hand was fluttering, and there was a piercing, blood-boiling clang.The Tiefutu warrior seemed to have been infused with spirituality suddenly by the gods. He raised his chest mechanically at the same time, and his heels and the heavy armor on the horse touched together with a "click".It's as crisp and neat as an executioner beheading a human head.

Zangba gave the order meticulously; "Target, two hundred feet away—the stake—"

Wearing Tiekui and holding a big knife, the upper body of the soldiers is straight and tall, like a birch forest. Following the command of the Tibetan tyrant, the soldiers all bowed down and tightened the reins. Looking from a distance, they looked like a group of tense A beast crouching on the ground.

The earth was like a chopping board for kneading dough, trembling violently under the vibration of iron hooves, 500 people, two phalanxes, and 25 rows of soldiers, like two black dragons with white and golden scales all over their bodies, attacked the two hundred feet with lightning speed. There are 500 new and waist-thick tree stumps outside.The unstoppable offensive, pushing against the iron wall and destroying everything, made me hear the roar of the tracks of the previous tank and armored units when they attacked, mixed with the screams of the enemies who were crushed mentally and physically.The iron chain was straightened by the manipulation skills of the knights of the five horses, and the horses seemed to have a spiritual connection, and they were moving in one direction.The smoke and dust billowed like raging waves, and the horseshoes flew like a giant dragon turning over. One can imagine that if anyone dares to stop this kind of offensive, what awaits him is fragmented death, a midnight dream that cannot be waved away in a lifetime, horror, Horror—there are only [-] people, if it is [-] well-trained cavalry, then——

Hundreds of times of vigorous raising and lowering of the knife!The broad-bladed broadsword smeared wisps of blood red in the rising sun, and the air was filled with the smell of hell.Sections of chopped wooden stakes rolled down the deep ravine like human heads, making loud bangs.The grey-yellow land battlefield has become a slaughter song that buries life—

Unstoppable and powerful, it can be called the armored corps of the Three Kingdoms era.The faces of all the generals in Jizhou changed color, and then they were ecstatic. Everyone was thinking in their hearts that in a few years, the lord would be able to proclaim himself emperor——

But I see a problem.After the review, Tibetan Pa originally hoped to be praised but was scolded, and he drooped his head and stopped talking. "Xuan Gao, I'm not talking about you. You are also one of the top generals in Jizhou. You don't use your brain when you do things. Such a heavy cavalry can kill people with knives. If you spread the word, you won't laugh off Mrs. Cao Cao's front teeth."

"My lord, if you don't hold a knife, what should you use? It's even more inappropriate to hold a gun. The speed of the charge is too fast, and the penetrating power of the gun can't play a big role." Zang Ba's whole face was twisted together, and he was a little helpless.

"Xuan Gao, this general will show you a bright way. After a while, you can invite me, Mr. Wen He, and Gao Lan, Zhang Xiu, and Pang Shiyuan to your house for a drink, okay?" I said with a relaxed expression, laughing.

Zang Ba's chest slapped the mountain sound; "That's nothing, I can still afford a drink when I'm poor, haha, but, my lord, you can't coax me, the way you say must be effective." I said: " In this way, let me explain the truth to you first, even if you go to the experiment, when you think it is necessary to invite everyone to drink, just come over and say, this general is on call." Tibetan Ba ​​was very angry: "My lord, If you invite me to drink, I, Lao Zang, are always on call." I teased: "Your words are meaningless, now you have something to ask of me, tell me, do you want to listen or not?"

Zang Ba said repeatedly: "Listen, listen, my lord, if you don't tell me, I will be so worried. In fact, I also think that the swords used by such a heavily armed and mighty army are a bit too thin, but I can't think of anything to do. The weapons can be used together." "Bring a pen and paper—"

I picked up the Langhao brush on Caihou paper, drew for a while, then put down the pen, looked at Biantian, and thought, "Mace" is almost like this.

Zang Ba looked at the atmosphere without daring to breathe, and said in a daze: "What kind of thing is this? Why is it covered with spikes all over, a bit like an iron stick, but much stronger than the iron stick, this long round guy, There are three to four hundred five-inch-long spikes on the body, with strong penetrating power and impact force, it is really a weapon that a heavy army should be equipped with, wonderful, really wonderful." Nonsense, this mace It was originally used in conjunction with the Iron Buddha, can it be bad? !

This kind of equipment is the real gold and iron horse that swallows thousands of miles!
"My lord—there is an envoy from Jingzhou——"

I exchanged glances with Zangba, "please please."

"I will see General Yuan in Kuai Yue."

Standing in front of me was a thin, middle-aged scribe. He was thin, with a serious face, sharp eyes, big ears and a wide mouth.The narrowed left eye, the protruding brow bone, and the long black and white hair make this face look a bit sinister.

Looking at the tall Kuai Yue, my heart was like an electric shock, and I was shocked behind my back, and said excitedly: "Yes, is the Jingzhou great talent Kuai Yidu here? Mr. Kuai, please get up quickly, I, Yuan Xihe Dehe Can you afford such a great gift from Mr.?"

Confused for a while, dazed by this sudden flattery, Kuai Yue raised his head and looked at me, thinking, how did I become a great talent in Jingzhou? I am not a great talent, but I am a relative of Liu Biao.

I don’t know Kuai Yue very well. I don’t know if he is a great genius or not. I know that the Kuai family is the second most influential power in Jingzhou besides the Cai family. Back then, Liu Biao was the shepherd of Jingzhou because of Cai Mao and Kuai. Kuai Yue's son Kuai Qi is still Zhuge Liang's second brother-in-law.Most importantly, as I remember, he advocated that Jingzhou should surrender without a fight!
The day before yesterday I was thinking of using King Qin's strategy of destroying the six kingdoms, but Kuai Yue came today, God helped me!The defeat of Guandu World War II made me deeply realize the importance of diplomacy. If you want to defeat Cao Cao, it is useless to just hide behind closed doors and prepare your troops.Although there was no Warring States chaos in the Three Kingdoms, there were more than a dozen princes. These people were closely related to each other.If you don't find a way to disrupt this balance, you will never want to advance to Luoyang in this life.

The pre-Qin extermination of the six kingdoms was nothing more than four ingenious strategies. The first was Shang Yang's reform, the second was Fan Sui's long-distance and short-term attack, the second was Zhang Yi's combination of horizontal and vertical, and the last was Wei Liaozi's "spite a lot of money and bribe important officials." '

If you want to deal with Cao Cao, you must pay close attention to these major policies and work hard to implement them, otherwise it will be useless.Shang Yang's reform is impossible. During the Three Kingdoms era, Zhuge Liang and others were all Confucianists, and no one had that kind of courage.It is impossible for me to do it. Maybe the Confucian scholars in Jizhou will rebel. In this era, except for some military reforms, nothing else can be done.Confronting Confucius and Lao Kong is a situation where an arm cannot twist a thigh.

From now on, the long-distance and short-distance attacks must be carried out as soon as possible. The first ones to make friends with are Jingzhou, Hanzhong, and Xiliang. Liu Biao can deal with Sun Quan, and Zhang Luhan can go out of Xiegu to attack Ma Teng, and can also enter Sichuan to contain Liu Zhang. This is definitely a good move.As for the combination of horizontal and vertical, that was after Cao Cao's defeat.What is urgently needed at this moment is "spend a lot of money and bribe important ministers." Among Qin's four major state-building programs, this one is the most sinister and the easiest to implement.

I'm just worried, I don't know which important minister in Jingzhou should be bribed?No, Kuai Yidu delivered it to the door by himself.

Kuai Yue is not short of money, no one in Jingzhou is richer than him.That doesn't mean he isn't greedy for money, he might be lustful if he isn't greedy for money, I don't believe he can't find a place to kill him.

"This time, Kuai -- can the general take a step to speak?" Kuai Yue hesitated to speak, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Glancing at Cangba: "Xuan Gao, go and do what you just told me, hurry up." "Yes—" Cangba gave Kuai Yue a sideways look, and said to himself that it's no big deal not to let me listen.

"Mr. Kuai, please take your seat."

"General Yuan, you are too polite, how dare Kuai Yue be a scholar."

I thought to myself, don't pretend to be like me, you are a scholar, your power is even afraid of Liu Biao, is there such a tyrannical scholar in the world? !

"I heard that Mr. Kuai used to be an official in Luoyang in his early years, and he actually met my father. He also played the piano and tasted tea to make him a confidant."

Kuai Yue wanted to talk nonsense. When I was running an official in Luoyang, I did meet Tai Fu Yuan Kui and the mighty Sili Captain Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao didn't drink tea or play the piano with me. We didn't speak five sentences to each other. This noble school lieutenant left me alone, and I was so angry that I was dying.Yuan Kui is not a thing, damn it, he won't even meet him.

I said this to put money on his face, no one is stupid enough to expose his own face.Kuai Yue took a sip of tea; "Your father's piano skills have been admired by me for many years. It is high-pitched and mellow, delicate and luxurious, with profound artistic conception, wonderful, wonderful." The guy was tried out by me as soon as I tried it.That's good, I'm most afraid of him being a rotten Confucian who doesn't eat oil and salt, and a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

Standing up and cupping my hands, I said with trepidation, "In that case, Yuan Xi should behave like a nephew to Mr. Kuai Yue secretly laughed in his heart, a child can be taught, you'd better behave like a grandson to me, my old man also accepted it.I thought to myself, I am an uncle, you are a nephew.

"Sir, I don't know why you are here? Could it be that Jing Sheng died of illness and came to report the funeral?" I said seriously.

Kuai Yuexin said, how do you talk about it? Are you looking for smoke?Is there such a curse? "Not yet, not yet, Yue didn't come here at the Lord's will this time—" My heart beat wildly; "Who is that sir?" Did I come to surrender? I'm very popular recently!I laughed heartily.

Kuai Yue looked at the door and window with mysterious and vigilant eyes, and whispered, "Yue came to find the general at the order of my wife." Mrs. Cai is looking for me, why?Liu Biao wanted to remarry before he died?The bitch!But I heard that she is the number one person in Jingzhou.

Staring, showing surprise: "Madam Cai, I don't know why you are looking for me?" Kuai Yue lowered his voice: "Madam—is——General—" He couldn't hear clearly, there was a foot away Far, he whispered to me, is there such a fool?

I hurriedly said: "Mr. Kuai, there are only you and me in this two-mile radius, can you speak louder?" Kuai Yue coughed, opened his throat and read aloud: "General Qi, my wife sent me, I just want to cooperate with the general to deal with Liu Bei, and I also hope that the general can support my second son to take the seat of Jingzhou Mu. If the general is willing to send Huainan soldiers to attack Xinye after the death of my master, my wife said, the second son After ascending the throne, I will definitely support the general in dealing with Cao Cao—”

With the corners of my eyes drooping, I hurriedly stopped: "Stop talking, sir, don't go on talking, it will be bad if someone overhears you." Kuai Yue said in a daze, "Didn't the general just say that there is no one within a radius of two miles?" Why didn't you let me say it again?"

I thought to myself, I asked you to speak, but didn't ask you to sing, your broken voice nearly collapsed the roof.After Kuai Yue finished speaking, he wiped off his sweat, gasped like a coolie who had just finished work, and said, "What, General, do you want to do this business?"

The business is good business, but I have a question; "Why didn't your wife cooperate with Cao Cao and let Cao Ren go to attack Xinye? Could it be that you have discussed with Cao Ren that we should ambush our army on the way?"

Kuai Yue waved his hands again and again: "How come the general doesn't know that Liu Bei has accepted Cao Cao's generous gift and has already formed an alliance with Cao Cao to deal with you, the general. In order to protect Yingchuan from being threatened, why would Cao Cao rush to attack Liu Bei? And Cao Ren is on the front line , originally under the threat of Huainan soldiers, Cao Ren could not protect himself, how could he send troops to Xinye." I smiled with satisfaction; "Mr. But—what benefit can Mrs. Cai give to this great general?"

Kuai Yue took out a gift list from his bosom, and said with a smile, "Madam, how could you forget the benefits of the General? Please have a look at it, General." It was the first time someone gave me a gift in this life, and I was almost convulsed with excitement. The hands of the gift list were trembling. When I opened the pink gift list, I saw pearls, jade, agate, gold and silver of various names densely written on it in lower letters, and there were three names at the bottom: Qiuping, Qinglan, and Ziniang.I was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood that it was the three beauties who were given to me.Looking at the font and smelling the lingering fragrance, this gift list must have been written by Mrs. Cai herself.The timeless and beautiful handwriting resembles the pretty face of Mrs. Cai in Jingzhou, which makes me feel emotional. Why didn't she write her name in it, that would be great——

I'm not interested in these things, especially beauties, Cai Yan and Zhen Mi must have skinned me.Throwing the invitation card on the low table indifferently, said in a deep voice: "Although the general likes these things, I'm not in a hurry to use them right now. Does Mrs. Cai have any other requirements?"

As if being drenched by a basin of cold water that was about to freeze, Kuai Yue froze immediately. He originally thought that General Yuan Xi would dance with joy like him, even jump up and say "Long live", but he just fell on the table like this .Kuai Yue's heart contracted for a while, and an ominous premonition shot into the depths of his spirit like a cold arrow. It seemed that this errand was going to fail!
Kuai Yue couldn't hold back his temper, and asked directly, "General, how do you want my wife to repay you." Damn, in one sentence, I promise you with your body!I haven't tasted the beauty of the Jiangnan water town yet.

Sensing Kuai Yue's impatience, I knew that Liu Biao was not long in the world, otherwise Mrs. Cai would never have taken such a big risk to send such an expensive gift to ask me to send troops to deal with Liu Huangshu who is entrenched in Xinye Hushi Jingxiang.Such a good opportunity, if you don't take advantage of it, it is not my Yuan Xi's style.I laughed and said, "Sir, please don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't want to cooperate with my wife. It's just that I also have difficulties. My Hebei army is currently fighting Cao's army, and Jiangdong Sun Quan often hinders me. If my wife can form an alliance with me, Together to defend Sun Quan and Cao Cao, and can subsidize some military rations in Huainan, the surprise attack on Liu Bei will naturally not be a problem."

Kuai Yue immediately said: "This matter is not a problem. Madam has already told me that if the general is willing to send troops to help, Madam will definitely stand by Yuan's side in the dispute between Yuan and Cao."

"Sir, can you sign a covenant with this general on behalf of your wife?"

Kuai Yue didn't care about it: "Of course, but everything can only be done after the second son inherits Jingzhou Mu and the dust settles."
