The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 196 Lottery draw, three wins and three losses! (seeking subscription)
In the general mansion,
As everyone left, there was no one there.

Zhang Xiu slowly closed his eyes, revealing a trace of fatigue. It is not easy to fight for world hegemony. If it is possible, he really wants to spend the rest of his life with his wives and concubines.

Shaking his head, he cleared his messy thoughts.

He strode to the study at the back of the general's mansion, washed his cheeks with cold water, his whole body became much clearer, and his pupils became firmer. He picked up the military book and began to study it.

He has no idea how to win this battle.

He grabbed the bamboo slips and looked at them for a long time, but at this moment Zhang Xiu's brows suddenly frowned, he had completely forgotten about his cheating, except for the last time he smoked a few times out of boredom, it seemed that he had already accumulated a lot of talent.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu put down his book of war.

With a slight thought, looking at the remaining Tianxiu, Zhang Xiu pinched his chin and muttered: "One thousand and eight, it's quite a lot!"

"Probably not?" Zhang Xiu pursed his lips.

"Ahem!" Don't worry about this, Zhang Xiu began to draw a lottery, with eighteen chances, hoping to explode some equipment that can be used for war.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for smoking 100 cigarettes*."

"??? Hua Zi? Isn't it good to smoke in ancient times?" Zhang Xiu pursed his lips, then straightly opened the bag, took out a lighter and lit it.

Not to mention, it's quite a feeling.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 20 bottles of Lafite 500 Years*."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 100 high-quality telescopes*."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 200 boxes of high-quality canned beef*."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 200 boxes of mixed instant noodles* from Master Kong."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 100 exquisite mechanical watches."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 500 packs of day and night Que's diapers."

Zhang Xiu pursed his lips: "???"

Instant noodles are fine, but are there any diapers?

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 10 groups of multifunctional solar chargers."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning a blueprint for making high-quality textile machines from the Tang Dynasty."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 500 steel long-handled multifunctional engineering shovels*."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 1000 boxes of high-quality chocolates."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning a copy of the global precision mine map."

"These are not bad," Zhang Xiu nodded and muttered.

The efficiency of weaving in this era is very poor, and it is still some time before Ma Jun transforms the loom, and the efficiency of his transformation is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty.

When the efficiency increases, the price can go down, so it is not difficult for the people to change new clothes, and it should not be difficult to invade other states and counties with weaving technology.

As for the mineral deposits, Zhang Xiu only remembered the approximate location. It would be great if he could have accurate drawings instead, so that he could mine whatever he wanted.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 200 boxes of detonators*."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the top Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao*20 catties."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for drawing a copy of the production process of medium and low-grade standard cement."

"Low-grade standard cement?" Zhang Xiu raised an eyebrow. Cement is a good thing, but I don't know what grade this low-grade is.

But I think it should be better than the rammed earth of this era, at least it will be more foam-resistant than the rammed earth, so that he can strengthen the cement wall.

As for Wuyishan Dahongpao, it is a good thing. Although I have never drunk it, it is at least countless times better than the sour bitter tea at this time.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for smoking 15 rings of fireworks * 800 boards."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 10 high-quality balance cars*."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning a blueprint for making the Song Dynasty Divine Arm Bow."

"God's Arm Bow?" Zhang Xiu's face showed joy. Although the God's Arm Bow has been recorded as a myth in historical materials, its power is indeed impressive, and it is still a bow.

It should be known that the God Arm Bow Shi Ji has an effective range of [-] steps and can penetrate three layers of armor.

This record has been boasted by later generations, but 600 steps equals more than [-] meters, and the initial speed is two or three times the speed of sound. Who is it and what kind of string can have such great power.

But now that there are blueprints for making it, let him study it out, and then try it out by yourself to see if it is blown out, or it is really awesome.

As for this balance car, isn’t it for children to play with?
Looking at the exhausted Tianxiu value, Zhang Xiu twitched the corner of his mouth, this is not enough.

Eat and drink a lot, smoke a lot, use very few things, fireworks, detonators and the like are not too bad, at least the battle situation can be a little bit useful.

It just so happened that I ran out of the fireworks before, so these two things can be used a little bit.

Fireworks are used to deter the cavalry on the opposite side, and this kind of long tube can also be tied together to make a Vulcan Gatling. I have seen this kind of gameplay once, and the firepower is quite powerful.

As for the detonator, it is a bit difficult to count on this thing to kill people, but it can be used for chaos, after all, the sound of the detonator is very loud.

When the time comes, tie it to a bow and arrow and shoot it into the opposite camp, tsk tsk, I guess it will be very comfortable.

After going through the things he picked up, Zhang Xiu took out the blueprints of the magic arm bow and the textile machine, and started to copy them with a pen.

After a long time, Zhang Xiu pursed the corners of his mouth as he looked at the drawing of the flower he had copied. It was a bit ugly, but he could barely express it.

"Hu'er, come in and send these two blueprints to the artisan camp in the city, and let them go all out to study these two blueprints." Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice.

When Hu Che'er entered, he was a little curious when he saw Zhonghua in his boss's mouth, and then he looked at the handwritten drawing below.

Frowning slightly, Hu Che'er asked in surprise, "Master, what is this?"

"Forget it, I'll go there myself!"

Zhang Xiu hesitated, took the original drawings and templates with him, and rushed straight to the artisan camp in the city.

He was worried that Hu Che'er couldn't express clearly!
He had to arrange these two things before going out, and wait for the results to see if they could be mass-produced, so as to increase his military strength.

Then, Zhang Xiu started to get busy.

In the artisan camp, he and several artisan leaders studied for a long time before finally finalizing the design plan. As for when it will be researched, he does not know.

The next day, it was dark.

The school grounds in the city were in full swing, and countless soldiers began to eat thick porridge, served with some pickles and dried fish, and the food was not bad.

"Hurry up and eat, and leave on time at the fourth watch."

All the generals were also wearing military armor, and they were patrolling with their swords on their hands, urging their soldiers to eat, for fear of slowing others down.

There is a little fear and anxiety in the eyes of these soldiers, which is worry about the next army, after all, fighting corresponds to the dead.

Among them, the Xuanwei army ate rice, served with fatty meat, vegetables, and boiled fish. The food was more than twice as good as that of ordinary soldiers.

I also watched envy in the eyes of other legions, and those with ambitions secretly swore to be selected into the Xuanwei Legion.

From time to time to the fourth watch, tens of thousands of soldiers are waiting in full battle.

Zhang Xiu was dressed in military armor, looked at the crowd, he didn't say much, got on his horse, raised his gun and shouted: "Let's go!"

A few days later, on the official road leading to Yecheng.

I saw dust flying on the official road, banners covering the sun, and all kinds of urging voices.

Under Cao Zishuai's banner is a chariot of four horses.

On the chariot, Cao Cao sat upright, with his hands on the Yitian sword, closed his eyes and meditated.

a long time,

Cao Cao didn't open his eyes, but said in a deep voice, "Fengxiao, how far is it to get to Yecheng?"

One side, white horse,
Guo Jia chuckled lightly, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, there is still less than a hundred miles away from Yecheng. According to our army's marching speed, it is estimated that we will arrive the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow? Too slow."

Cao Cao opened his eyes, revealing his shrewd look, and said in a deep voice: "The law of war says that soldiers are precious and fast. If we arrive in the next day, I'm afraid Zhang Xiu will come even closer."

Guo Jia smiled wryly, "But my lord, according to our army's marching speed, I can't arrive until the day after tomorrow at the earliest."

"But I think we can arrive tomorrow?" Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia, and immediately stood up with his sword in his hand, looked into the distance, and couldn't help but smile.

"Xu Chu, did you see that Mei Linhu in the distance?"

Cao Cao pointed straight ahead and smiled heartily.

"Merlin? Where is it?" Xu Chu's face was simple and honest, and he looked into the distance, but he didn't see Merlin.

"Now it's June and July, which is a good time for plums to grow. I think the plums at this time must be sour and delicious." Cao Cao chuckled.

"The officers and men of the three armies must be very thirsty on their way. Go and send an order to the three armies, saying that I found a plum grove right in front of them. I rushed to the plum grove. The three armies rested and took the plums to quench their thirst."

"But my lord, why didn't I see Merlin?" Xu Chu stared with puzzled expression.

On one side, Guo Jia shook his head with a wry smile, took a sip of the strong wine, coughed a few times and said with a smile: "General Xu, just do as the Lord says."

"Oh!" Xu Chu scratched his head, raised his knife and walked away.

"There is a plum grove right in front of you, and the lord has an order to go to the plum grove to get plums to quench your thirst."

"There is a plum forest ahead, take the plums to quench your thirst." For a while, the cavalry generals patted their horses back and forth and shouted loudly.

As the cavalry generals of the various ministries rushed to pass the news, the soldiers of the three armies all showed joy. They were exhausted at first, but at this time, their feet felt windy.

For a while, the speed of the three armies increased a lot.

Looking at the three armies who don't need to be urged, Guo Jia chuckled and said: "My lord, this plan will be a good story in the future. At this speed, it should not be difficult to reach Yecheng tomorrow."

However, Cao Cao's eyes were gloomy and he didn't answer.

Seeing Cao Cao's solemn expression, Guo Jia said again: "The lord is thinking about how to capture Yecheng and defeat Zhang Xiu?"

Cao Cao nodded and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiu is brave, and Yecheng is guarded by people like Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun. It may not be easy to pull him out."

"As for defeating Zhang Xiu, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. This person is as cunning as a fox, treacherous as a wolf, and I have no confidence in defeating him."

Cao Cao's voice was heavy. He fought against Zhang Xiu twice, and both times he was at a disadvantage, which made him a little afraid. After all, the latter was indeed very human.

"Hehe, my lord, Jia thought that my lord will win this battle and Zhang Xiu will lose." Seeing that Cao Cao lacked confidence, Guo Jia couldn't help saying.

"What do you mean by Fengxiao's words?"

"First, Zhang Xiu used the reverse movement, and the lord obeyed the emperor to conquer the world. This is the victory of righteousness."

"Secondly, Zhang Xiusheng and Xiliang were born humble, and they committed atrocities, massacred the family, and made the world centrifugal. The lord was born in the family of the three princes, born noble, tolerant to the world, and loyal to the family. This is Desheng also."

"Thirdly, although Zhang Xiu appoints people on their merits, he promotes them arbitrarily regardless of their seniority, which has long dissatisfied the civil and military officials. However, the Lord is simple on the outside but smart on the inside. There is no doubt about the employment, step by step, and everyone who is civil and military is not dissatisfied. This is the victory of Du. "

"With three victories and three defeats, how can Zhang Xiu win? How can the lord lose?" Guo Jia clasped his hands with a chuckle and said heartily.

"Haha, good, three victories and three defeats, with Feng Xiao's words, how can there be any reason for this battle to be invincible?" Cao Cao laughed heartily.

Guo Jia smiled gently, but his heart was a little dignified. He did list the advantages and disadvantages of Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao, but Zhang Xiu is very human.

He was able to go from a few thousand soldiers in just two years to now occupying the seven counties of Jingxiang with more than [-] soldiers under his command. This ability is absolutely unmatched by humans.

But the more so, the more excited Guo Jia was.

Fighting against such a strong person can only make him want to fight, isn't it?I just hope that Zhang Xiu won't let him down.

At the same time,

In Guanzhong, Cao Jun's camp is a hundred miles away from Wuguan.

On the big camp, the bell flag was swaying, on one side was the Liu flag, the Guan flag, and there were even horse characters and Korean characters, as if Zhong Yao joined forces with the generals in the Guanzhong to send troops to Wuguan.

And in the camp, Liu Bei's army tent.

Looking at the other Sima below, Liu Bei took the letter.

This letter was sent by Zhang Xiu, and Sima of the other department just conveyed it on his behalf.

Unpacking it, Liu Bei glanced at it twice, couldn't help but frowned, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Where is the person who sent you this letter?" Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

"My lord, that man left the letter in my hand." That general replied.

"Okay, you go down first!" Liu Bei said with a tense expression, not showing any emotion, "Go, summon Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Gan, and Jian Yong to enter the account."

"No!" Sima Biebu clasped his fists and retreated.

As the general left, Liu Bei's eyes became deeper. He looked at the letter over and over again, his brows were sometimes worried and sometimes throbbing.

After a while, Guan Yu and others came together.

Zhang Fei shouted in that broken gong voice: "Brother, what's the matter? Just now I was fighting with my second brother to a critical moment."

"Second and third brothers, sit down first and wait for Sun Qian Jianyong." Liu Bei waved his hand.

After a while, the four of them gathered together.

This is already all the possessions that Liu Bei's subordinates can take out, at least the most loyal group of people.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Seeing Liu Bei's solemn expression, Guan Yu couldn't help asking.

Liu Bei nodded, and said in a deep voice, "This is the letter received by Sima Biebu when he was on tour just now, just take a look!"

Then, several people passed around to watch the circle.

Sun Qian glanced at Jian Yong, and immediately said: "My lord, is this a letter from Zhang Xiu? Is it reliable?"

"I don't know, I think it's probably close to ten." Liu Bei shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"My lord, this letter should not be trusted. Cao Cao doesn't trust the lord. If Cao Cao sent someone to test the lord deliberately, I'm afraid."

On the other side, Jian Yong said solemnly.

Hearing this, Liu Bei nodded, he was also worried about this, looked at Guan Yu and said, "Yun Chang, what do you think?"

Guan Yu Chongzao looked contemplative, stroked his beard and said, "Brother, Yu thought Cao Cao was busy with the war, so why would he write such a letter?"

"What's more, if Zhong Yao and his like test us, then they are not afraid of us leading the army to rebel? I think this is Zhang Xiu's handwriting."
