Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

Jiaozhou is the junction of Yulin County and Cangwu County.

Lu Jiajun's camp.

After seeing off Lu Meng and Bu Zhi, Lu Xun returned to his military tent. Sun Ru looked at the edict and the wine bottle on the altar table and asked, "Wu Hou gave these to you? What does it mean? Although it is winter now, the state of Qiu Nuan, it seems you don’t need this ‘turtle-free hand medicine’, right?”

"hehe--"

Lu Xun sneered lightly, picked up the bottle of dogwood wine, and poured out a glass, "Madam, your second uncle wants to kill people but is unwilling to see blood. He keeps asking me to go back and drink with him during the winter solstice, but where can I go during the winter solstice? There is also dogwood wine, the chrysanthemums have faded, this wine and the turtle-free hand medicine tell me that if I don’t return at the winter solstice, I will give in and become the general. If I take over this army, I won’t have to go back.”

After that, Lu Xun raised his glass and was about to drink, but Sun Ru quickly took action and knocked the glass over.

Lu Xun smiled and said, "Is this the wine given by Marquis Wu? How has my wife ever been so courageous?"

Sun Ru said coldly: "If I had been brave enough, I would not have let my mother and brother disappear in the first place... Now, he wants to harm my husband again, should I just sit back and wait for death?"

Lu Xun replied calmly, "One month, this has just begun..."

Sun Ru asked with a worried trembling voice: "But what about one month later? The patriarch of your Lu family will be in Jiaozhi, unless...unless your husband doesn't care about anything!"

"You are a swordsman, and I am a fish and meat." Lu Xun opened his mouth with difficulty, "For now, we can only wait."

Sun Ru asked: "What are you waiting for?"

Lu Xun looked gloomy and said coldly, "Wait until someone can steal Lu Ji out! As long as he comes back alive, I will be the real patriarch of the Lu family... If not, then..."

Sun Ru was shocked: "This... you are gambling on your life!"

Lu Xun said in a firm tone, even a little fiercely, "Under the current situation, we can only gamble this time. This may be the time when we put our entire future as a bet!"

Having said this, Lu Xun slowed down and asked, "It's possible that this will be my, Lu Xun's, last bet."

this…

The sudden chill in the atmosphere made Sun Ru feel more and more uncomfortable the more she thought about it.

She gritted her teeth and asked, "What will happen if the Lu family's army still stands still after a month?"

"Didn't you hear what General Bu Zhi said?" Lu Xun's tone was full of sadness and sadness: "Now the food of our Lu family is in the hands of General Lu Meng. On one side is Jiaozhou's mortal enemy, and on the other side is General Lu Meng. With the food in my hands, who would have thought that I, Lu Xun, would be forced to this point and be in a dilemma!"

etc…

Listening to her husband's words, Sun Ru suddenly thought of something. She suddenly opened her mouth, "Husband, actually...actually...there is another way?"

"What road?" Lu Xun looked at Sun Ru, but there was no color in his eyes.

Sun Ru quickly checked the doors and windows to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then she walked up to Lu Xun and lowered her voice and said, "Second uncle is unkind, we can also be unjust, no matter what Soochow or Jiaozhou, my husband and I Why not take the Lu family’s army to join Jingzhou!”

Sun Ru's words came out one after another in a firm tone: "I don't believe it... I don't believe it. My husband has 30,000 Lu family troops. Will Guan Yunchang accept them? Will he treat my husband as an honored guest?"

this…

Sun Ru's words shocked Lu Xun.

He quickly covered Sun Ru's mouth, his eyebrows instantly condensed, and he exclaimed again and again:

"Madam, are you crazy?"

Sun Ru's martial arts skills were far superior to Lu Xun's. She quickly broke away from Lu Xun's restraints and straightened her chest.

His tone became more determined: "Look at General Xu Kun, look at Zhou Gongjin, the governor of Zhou, and look at General Tai Shici... If my husband insists on staying here, then... he is really crazy!"

Lu Xun covered Sun Ru's mouth again.

He looked at Sun Ru as if begging, his lips trembling.

"Now... now... we can't reach this point yet -"

However, Sun Ru's eyes became more determined, as if she had made some kind of decision.

…

…

In the Han Dynasty, apples were called "氰".

The "氰" in the Han Dynasty was far less big and plump than the apples of later generations. The taste is not particularly sweet, it is about the size of an egg.

It's red and very attractive.

Of course, it doesn’t matter whether the apple is delicious or plump.

The important thing is that October is the season when apples are ripe.

At this moment... under an apple tree in Mianshui Villa.

Apples the size of eggs fell, and Liu Ye used his head to catch them, and one after another they hit his head.

Liu Ye was not hit by the apple accidentally. He stood here on purpose, waiting for the apple to fall.

The reason for this is that Guan Lin proposed to him the concepts of "gravity" and "gravity".

At this moment, Liu Ye was stroking his forehead while looking at the fallen apple, and then said with emotion:

"Is this the 'gravity' and 'gravity' that Mr. Yunqi mentioned? It is indeed thought-provoking!"

He frowned slightly, as if thinking for a moment, and then, while chirping, he took out the "Pictures of Strange Weapons" given to him by Guan Lin from his arms.

I couldn't help but sigh: "The book says, 'What weight is heavy? Every body that falls straight down must reach the center of the earth.' Is this the so-called gravity?"

Speaking of which, "Illustrations of Strange Instruments" was compiled by Wang Zheng during the Ming Dynasty, and it already has a definition and explanation of gravity.

I can say with great certainty...

This definition of gravity was nearly forty years earlier than Newton was hit by an apple and realized "gravity".

As a digression, considering the great voyages of the Ming Dynasty, Newton's "universal gravitation" theory is plagiarized from the "Illustration of Strange Weapons" of China. This is a matter of opinion.

Of course, this is not important. What is important is... Liu Ye seems to have a new understanding.

"If we follow this theory, does it mean that under a fixed acceleration, as long as the Eight Ox Crossbow increases its gravity, the range can continue to increase...and even break through 800 steps and reach 1,200 steps?"

Liu Ye studied it to this point.

It seems that this "Illustrated Description of Strange Weapons" already has the flavor of being unintentional on the part of the giver but intentional on the part of the reader.

without any exaggeration…

——Gravity, mass, gravitational acceleration and even resistance...

This series of nouns is like opening a door to a whole new world for Liu Ye, allowing him to daydream about it, and allowing him to verify many possibilities that already existed in his mind from the book.

——It’s not that the ancients were unintelligent, but they didn’t have a broad vision.

——Once guided by the ancients, they can often burst out extremely terrifying learning abilities and creativity.

A "Pictures of Strange Weapons" may seem like nothing to ordinary people, or even people of later generations.

But for Liu Ye, a man who can skillfully use the "leverage principle" and create a thunder car, he is simply a "plug-in".

——"Click!"

As if he suddenly figured something out, Liu Ye took a bite of the apple and said, "It's the height...yes, yes, it's the height! This Eight Ox Crossbow can further adjust the height to find the optimal gravity acceleration." ', reduce the resistance in the air...yes, that's it...that's it..."

After understanding this, Liu Ye took one last look at the apple tree and hurriedly ran back to the workshop.

During this time, all his thoughts were on the workshop.

As for his understanding of craftsmanship and the manufacturing techniques of these large-scale ordnance, he learned extremely quickly, and he was always able to make improvements and strive for excellence...

Many times, Liu Ye's improved ordnance made Huang Chengyan, the successor of Mohist machine arts, feel inferior to him.

Yesterday, when Guan Lin came to Mianshui Villa, he specifically asked Huang Chengyan.

——Ask him how Liu Ye is doing?

Huang Chengyan's answer was that in less than ten years...I am afraid that Liu Ye will be able to change the entire battlefield style on his own.

Guan Lin was shocked, as if this was something he needed to focus on training!

Therefore, he wrote out the Ming Dynasty physics book "Illustrations of Strange Instruments" overnight and sent someone to deliver it to him early in the morning.

But when Liu Ye entered the workshop.

Huang Chengyan is taking inventory of the newly made Eight Ox Crossbows.

These are twenty eight-oxen crossbows...

The Jiaozhou Shibian family has sent people to receive it, and the money has been received.

According to the agreement... Huang Chengyan will deliver the goods today.

Seeing Huang Chengyan, Liu Ye hurriedly ran to him. His conversation with Huang Chengyan was like a discussion between two academic masters: "Mr. Huang, I have an idea. According to the book "Qi" that Yun Qi gave me, According to the theory in "Qiu Tu Shuo", I think... in this eight-oxen crossbow, as long as the height of the 'Three Strong Bows' is raised and lowered to a certain extent, the straight line is changed to a slight inclination, and the aim is slightly corrected, then... this The energy that the Eight Bull Crossbow can store will be greater, and the shooting distance will be further...perhaps it can...be able to reach..."

Liu Ye didn't wait for the last five words of "One Thousand Two Hundred Steps" to be finished.

At this moment...Shi Wu and Shi Hui happened to arrive.

Shiwu, as Guan Lin's guard, and Shihui, as Shixie's son, were extremely concerned about the Eight Ox Crossbow.

I saw eight oxen crossbows being transported.

Shiwu was quite excited. "Senior Huang, Mr. Yunqi ordered that he can give us twenty eight-oxen crossbows today...but are you serious?"

The words came out of my mouth...

Shi Hui also looked forward to it. His father Shi Xie had urged him countless times. He was extremely looking forward to bringing back the Eight Bull Crossbow as soon as possible.

At the same time, due to the weight of the Eight Ox Crossbow, it is not fast to transport it even by waterway.

Therefore…

The scholar family decided to send a wave of people to transport the Eight Bull Crossbows back first, and another wave of people to continue practicing in Jiangling. Finally... half a month later, they would meet in Jiaozhou. The human crossbows could be combined into one, and they would be able to board the battle against the Lu Family Army. On the battlefield.

The warriors and emblems in front of me...

Huang Chengyan is no stranger.

We have always been in contact with each other these days, and the two parties have a good conversation.

The most important thing is that the Shi family was unintentionally generous and gave Huang Chengyan a hundred bottles of fine wine from the Jiaozhou area as soon as they met. Huang Chengyan admired him very much and felt that Yun Qi was a good ally and worth it.

Immediately, Huang Chengyan stroked his beard and said, "Since Yun Qi said so, the Eight Ox Crossbow can be delivered today..."

Before the word "pay" came out of his mouth, Liu Ye quickly stopped him, "Huang Lao... I can't hand it over, I can't hand it over..."

His tone broke: "I... I just need, with just a slight change, I can increase the range from eight hundred steps... to at least one thousand, two hundred steps... Give me a few days, you believe me... Give me a few days... "

Liu Ye said so confidently that he felt that his thoughts had never been so clear before.

Now he only needs to try, then make individual improvements...and then make large-scale improvements.

He was sure it would be completed within five days.

only…

Shiwu quickly said: "Mr. Liu just said? How many steps can the range be improved to?"

"One thousand two hundred steps." Liu Ye said firmly.

Shiwu and Shihui waved their hands in unison.

"Oh, how can it be used so far... Eight hundred steps will be enough, eight hundred steps will be enough..." Shiwu said with a smile, "If Mr. Liu wants to make changes, then the next batch of changes will be done. These twenty eight-oxen crossbows , my eldest brother is...but he wants to see through it!"

Shi Hui also echoed: "Yes, don't say how many days, just how many hours... I'm afraid even my father can't wait."

this…

Liu Ye scratched his head slightly. He is a person who strives for excellence, but he did not expect...

In the eyes of Jiaozhou scholars, eight hundred steps was far enough, far beyond their psychological expectations, which inevitably made Liu Ye feel a little embarrassed.

"Haha..." Huang Chengyan said with a smile: "There are still eighty more to come. Besides, Yunqi still needs a lot in Jiangxia. Ziyang, there is a chance, there is a chance."

Huang Chengyan spoke softly to Liu Ye, and he was completely trained as a "successor" of the Mo family's mechanism skills.

Speaking of which, my daughter is not around...

But they had to find a "reliable" successor. Liu Ye, the new one Yunqi persuaded to surrender, was quite to Huang Chengyan's liking.

"Okay... Then I'll go to the back mountain and give it a try first." Liu Ye said goodbye...

Looking at his back, Shiwu blinked his eyes and sighed: "If this eight-oxen crossbow can really shoot a thousand, two hundred steps away, then... when it comes to fighting, does it matter whether you are brave or good at commanding troops?"

Hey…

Shiwu's inadvertent question attracted Huang Chengyan's sideways gaze.

yes…

In Huang Chengyan's view, Guan Lin's drawings and Liu Ye's intensive research and improvement, these two boys are a perfect match, and the result is...

Thinking of this, Huang Chengyan couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva after hearing a "gudong" sound.

He murmured in his heart:

——"If we continue like this, the future battlefield will have nothing to do with bravery and commander-in-chief!"

——"Is this what Yun Qi calls 'learning martial arts can't save a big man'?"

…

Over here, twenty eight-oxen crossbows are being handed over.

Over there, on the outskirts of Jiangling West City, Diao Chan came to the farmhouse here to buy herbs. Suddenly... he met a woman by the river.

The woman is about thirty-five years old, with a clean and ethereal appearance. She is the kind of beauty that no one can forget after just one glance...

Even Diao Chan couldn't help being surprised.

I murmured in my heart, if this happened fifteen years ago, when it came to beauty... I'm afraid she might not be able to beat this woman, right?

This woman is Da Qiao who came to Jiangling.

By the way, just yesterday, Sun Shao sent his mother Da Qiao to Jiangling.

He had heard that there was a very famous Mianshui Villa on the outskirts of the west city.

And because of Mianshui Villa, the suburbs of Xicheng are lively and safe, so... Sun Shao settled his mother Da Qiao in a farm on the outskirts of Xicheng in Jiangling.

Originally, Sun Shao planned to buy some maids for his mother, but Da Qiao was afraid that his identity would be revealed... and he refused.

Sun Shao couldn't resist him. After settling in, he had no choice but to leave.

This was nothing.

Da Qiao is in his thirties and has lived in Jiaozhou for many years. There is no problem living alone.

But when you first arrive, you inevitably want to go out and get familiar with the surrounding environment.

But she never thought that when she walked to the river, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach... At this moment, she was half-kneeling by the river, holding her stomach, looking extremely uncomfortable.

Because there were no people by the river here, so... no one came to help her.

Seeing her pain, Diao Chan quickly put down the medicine basket and quickly ran to Da Qiao's side.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"I...I...I don't know..." Da Qiao Qiqi Aiai replied, she was holding her stomach.

"Blood?" As Zhang Zhongjing's adopted daughter, Diao Chan's medical skills are outstanding among women, and her observation skills are also extremely keen. She immediately noticed the blood left on Da Qiao's leg.

She quickly said: "It's 'abdominal pain caused by moon water', don't worry, it's nothing serious..."

Abdominal pain caused by menstrual fluid was the name of a pathology that only women had in the Han Dynasty. It was called "dysmenorrhea" after the Qing Dynasty...

As a woman, Diao Chan understands this kind of pain best. She asked with concern: "You...can you still stand up? I will help you back..."

"Can...can..."

More than ten years of hard work in Jiaozhou made Da Qiao extremely determined. She gritted her teeth and stood up slowly with Diao Chan's support. She pointed hard at the mud house she just bought that was neither simple nor luxurious.

"Thank...Thank you, madam."

"It's okay." Diao Chan helped Da Qiao, "Let's walk slowly, and I'll check it for you when we get to the house..."

Yes, this disease...

We can only check inside the house.

"Oh..." Diao Chan suddenly remembered something, "I forgot about it. You put this on first..."

As she spoke, Diao Chan handed a "Blood Not Wet" to Da Qiao.

Da Qiao looked at this strange object with small wings. For a moment, he... didn't know what it was? How to use this?

…

…

Shuzhong, Chengdu.

In the study of General Zuo's Mansion, Zhuge Liang had been talking with Liu Bei for a long time.

It's just...the topics of conversation between the two were nothing more than two things.

First, Zhuge Liang's empty city strategy drove Cao Cao away. After several investigations, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang figured out the whole story.

It turned out that Cao Cao was not timid, it was not that he wanted to go back to deal with the internal battles and the candidates for succession.

——But the great changes in Jingzhou!

It was the Xiangfan battlefield. Guan Yu fought several beautiful battles one after another. Not only did he kill Wenpin, Man Chong, Niu Jin, Lu Chang and others, but he also completely recovered the north of Jiangxia.

This is equivalent to the fact that the entire Jiangxia in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River now belongs to Liu Bei. This directly threatens Nanyang County, the economic center of Cao Wei and a major grain-producing area.

This is infinitely close to the core and lifeblood of Cao Wei...

If Nanyang and Xiangfan fall, Cao Wei's situation will inevitably take a turn for the worse.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao did not dare to launch an attack or get trapped in the battlefield in central Shu, and immediately returned to Jingzhou.

Undoubtedly, this bought the most valuable development time for Shuzhong.

Secondly, it is this rare development time and a series of decrees implemented in Shuzhong...

To the surprise of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, the establishment of the Commerce Department and the collection of commercial taxes achieved unexpected results.

Because only merchants who join the Commerce Department can do business.

And because businessmen in the Commerce Department can get rid of their low status!

This caused a large number of merchants to flock in, and the collection of commercial taxes was a matter of course.

And because merchants need to be restrained by the Commerce Department, the problems of soaring prices and hoarding have been alleviated to the greatest extent.

In Sichuan, the turmoil in Sichuan and the shortage of grain depots were successfully solved without casting small coins and "one hundred baht".

Because of the establishment of the Commerce Department and the improvement of the status of merchants, it is inevitable that some farmers will want to do business.

To a certain extent, this will affect the agricultural output in the Bashu region.

There are other messy and annoying things!

If it were anyone else, they would definitely be exhausted...

But who put Zhuge Liang in charge of the Commerce Department?

Under his coordination, there are thresholds for doing business, and the transition between farmers and businessmen must go through strict inspections. The Commerce Department is not just accessible to anyone who wants to.

And this requires complex and cumbersome systems and constraints!

But these... are not problems for Zhuge Liangliang.

Compared with leading troops to fight and arranging troops, Zhuge Liang is more powerful in governing the country!

Zhuge Liang handled this kind of "worrying" problem as if it were "pediatrics" and he was very good at it.

certainly…

Whether it was the first empty city strategy and the great victory at Xiangfan, or the second positive chain reaction caused by the Commerce Department, these are all inseparable from the name of one person in the battle reports, secret letters, and dispatches:

——Guan Lin Guanyun Banner!

Naturally, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei have been chatting and praising this name for a long time today.

The words of praise that need to be said have already been said.

At this moment, there is another decree closely related to Guan Yunqi - the arrow is on the string, but it will not be launched.

The expressions of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei also became unusually solemn.

Zhuge Liang asked meticulously: "Master, are you ready?"

Liu Bei paused for a moment, nodded heavily, and pondered: "Yun Qi is only fifteen years old, but he still has such courage to work for the welfare of the people. I, Liu Bei, have been fighting for my whole life? How can I be timid at this age?"

Liu Bei's tone was firm.

Zhuge Liang asked again: "Master, if you really take this step, there will be no turning back."

"Hahaha..." Liu Bei smiled lightly and said calmly, "Have I not always walked on thin ice in my life? How have I ever turned back? I agree most with the two sentences in Yun Qi's answer sheet. The most thought-provoking thing is that the so-called 'people are prosperous and the country is strong', and it is also said that 'water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it'!"

Having said this, Liu Bei held Zhuge Liang's hand tightly.

He seemed to have made a final decision.

He said solemnly: "Every city and county of Liu Bei, I, must abolish the poll tax and promote the sharing of land between land and land. I leave this matter to you, Kong Ming!"

——Serious, awe-inspiring, upright, only virtuous and virtuous.

Making this decision is tantamount to Liu Bei making a choice.

Winning over clans with more energy and faster results!

Or stand firmly among the broadest number of common people and fight side by side with thousands of common people in this world!

He firmly chose the latter!

He wants to unite...the thirteen states in the world, the most extensive, the most humble, but containing the most powerful energy - the power of Li Shu!
