I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 120

The main reason why Liu Xie can do these actions is that Cao Cao is still in Qingzhou, and Xun Yu, who stayed behind in Xudu, is well known for his loyalty to the great man.

Although he couldn't help Liu Xie on the surface, secretly, Xun Yu turned a blind eye to the little emperor's nonsense.

As long as he doesn't do anything that endangers his life, Xun Yu usually doesn't talk too much.

As for Cao Cao, Xun Yu always believed that his purpose was to revitalize the great Han.

As for the later result, among the common people in the world, only Meng Chen knows it!
Meng Chen didn't know about these small actions made by the emperor Liu Xie. After returning to Chang'an, after dealing with some urgent government affairs, he started to work as a hands-off shopkeeper again.

In these days, Meng Chen stayed at the prefect's mansion with the two beauties all day long, and playing music every night has become the norm.

Fortunately, Meng Chen didn't waste his daily morning exercise habit, but his physical fitness has obviously declined in the past few days.

It's only been half a month, and Meng Chen felt exhausted when he covered his Overlord Halberd!
"Hey, the tomb of heroes in Ruanrou Township... The ancients are sincere and never deceive..." Mengchen said to himself, and decided to become a qualified assassin from today onwards.

"Brother Shan, prepare your horse, let's go out for a ride today!"

Meng Shan smiled helplessly. In the past half month, the son's personality has changed drastically, and he is completely depraved.

After carefully dressing up, Meng Chen led the guards out of the governor's mansion in a mighty manner.

Along the way, the common people stopped to salute, and Meng Chen returned the salute one by one with a smile.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and Chang'an Avenue, which was already lively, became even more lively after Meng Chen appeared, which once paralyzed the traffic in Chang'an.

The people in this era are simple and honest, as long as you treat them well and feed them well, you must support them.

Over the past two years, Meng Chen conquered the north and the west, the Qiang and the Huns surrendered one after another, and even the Xianbei did not dare to act rashly.

Coupled with the Huimin government decree and the resumption of commercial routes in the Western Regions, Zhang An's vitality was gradually revived.

Now in the area of ​​Sanfu and Xiliang, the people only know Meng Chen but not the Son of Heaven. In such a scene, Meng Chen is naturally having fun, what the people want and the army wants.

All of these have laid a solid foundation for him to fight for world hegemony.

After a slow journey, Meng Chen finally came to the North District of Chang'an City. Apart from the old Qin people stationed here, all the craftsmen led by Ma Jun lived here.

The entire Beicheng District has been redesigned by Mengchen. Needless to say, the loyalty of the old Qin people, even if there are secret agents sneaking in, it is convenient for Jia Xu and others to screen.

In the urban area where craftsmen gather, there are five steps, one post and five steps, one sentry.Seeing Meng Chen's arrival, the Great Qin warriors bowed and saluted one after another.

"See your lord!"

"Excuse me." Meng Chen waved his hand, and helped the soldier in front of him tidy up his armor.

Although it was just a subconscious action, for these low-level soldiers, it represented a supreme honor!
The wooden door opened slowly, and the first thing that caught the eye was the words "Artisan Workshop" engraved on the stone.

Going further inside, all kinds of noisy shouts emerged one after another.

All kinds of wooden miniature models are scattered all over the floor. Judging from the appearance, some are used for siege, some are used for defense, and there are even some agricultural or household gadgets.

After walking through a long corridor, I came to an empty field, where hundreds of craftsmen were busy!
"Continue to add burning stones and increase the temperature of the furnace."

In front of a huge furnace, Ma Jun was shirtless, beads of sweat rolled down his body every moment, and his eyes were fixed on the furnace.

"Continue to add, send wind, send wind quickly!" Ma Jun shouted anxiously.

Under Ma Jun's order, a group of shirtless young people were busy coming and going. These people were still apprentices, so they could only do odd jobs.

Not long after, a smile appeared on Ma Jun's face, and he shouted, "It's out of the oven!"

Following this shout, the blacksmith who had already finished preparations hurriedly took out the molten iron that had just been tempered carefully.

Immediately afterwards, a prepared mold was pushed up, and the molten iron just out of the furnace was quickly poured into it.

"Huh!" Ma Jun let out a long breath when he saw the success.

"Old devil..." Ma Jun yelled loudly, and then reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead, obviously not planning to participate in the following matters.

Just after receiving a bowl of clear water from an apprentice nearby, Ma Jun found out where Meng Chen and his party were.

After drinking in one sip, Ma Jun hurriedly walked towards Meng Chen: "See the lord, I don't know the lord..."

"Deheng doesn't need to be too polite. The Marquis has nothing to do today, just wander around."

"We are making the base of the bed crossbow, and we will make two newly improved bed crossbows."

After finishing speaking, Ma Jun led Meng Chen Bian to the open space beside him, where there happened to be two huge bed crossbows, just looking at it from the outside gave people a chilling feeling.

As far as the appearance is concerned, the two huge bed crossbows in front of them are all black, and each bed crossbow can fire seven bolts.

It is said to be a crossbow bolt, but it is actually about the size of an iron spear used by cavalry.

"Hiss! If you are shot by this crossbow, you will not die or live long." Meng Shan took a breath, and the scene of being shot by the crossbow had already appeared in his mind.

"How far is the shooting range?" Meng Chen asked curiously.

"According to the current test results, the effective range is within 220 steps. The lower part of the bed crossbow is a winch made of gears, and four people need to stir it at the same time." Ma Jun replied proudly.

The gear was also mentioned by Meng Chen unintentionally. After making a few simple models with wood, Ma Jun quickly made it.

Due to the high requirements on the material of the gear, it has not been put into use on a large scale.

220 steps, according to the calculations of later generations, more than 350 meters, plus a crossbow bolt as long as two meters, it is simply extremely cruel.

The only pity is that this kind of bed crossbow is currently only suitable for defense due to its heavy weight.

"Transport it to the school grounds, and this Marquis will personally try the power of this crossbow."

"promise!"

After a lot of effort, a huge bed crossbow appeared on the test field, and everyone including Meng Chen watched with bated breath.

Four craftsmen skillfully moved the winch, making a creaking sound.

After the crossbow was loaded, the craftsmen nodded to Ma Jun.

"Let go!" Ma Jun roared, followed by a huge sound of breaking through the air.

call out!call out!call out!
The huge kinetic energy drove the crossbow to rush forward, and after a short flight, the human-shaped wooden target placed at [-] paces shattered.

All the people present opened their mouths wide, each showing a look of panic, only Meng Chen had a smile on his face.

"Well, this crossbow is powerful and capable of breaking formations, so let's call him the formation-breaking crossbow!"
