Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

"The lord really wants this Luoyang?" Liu Bowen asked.

Li Chen nodded and said frankly: "Although Luoyang City is an enclave for Xuzhou, it is the center of the entire Han Dynasty. Not to mention the population of more than 100 million, the most important thing is that this is the richest place in the entire Han Dynasty." place. As long as we can win Hulao Pass and Luoyang, we can also manage Luoyang like a bucket."

Li Chen wants Luoyang, Hulao Pass is the only one that can be opened, as long as Hulao Pass is taken, most of the enemies can be blocked.At that time, I will be manufacturing the eight-ox crossbow, and I will put hundreds or thousands of eight-ox crossbows on this tiger prison.Even if a million-strong army comes, it may not be able to win Hulao Pass.

Moreover, Luoyang City is also high and thick, easy to defend but difficult to attack.Li Chen is confident that as long as he can take Hulao Pass and Luoyang at the same time, he will be able to hold these two places.Especially with the eight-ox crossbow, a powerful weapon for defending the city, Li Chen's self-confidence exploded even more.

Liu Bowen pondered, he was thinking about Li Chen's words.What Li Chen said is correct, Luoyang City has a population of over one million.You know, the city of Xuzhou only has a population of more than [-].The population of Luoyang City is almost as high as that of Xuzhou City plus two or three counties.

Liu Bowen stared at the map, trying to find a way to take down Hulao Pass and Luoyang at the same time.

1Chapter 17 Seeking Luoyang

Liu Bowen stared at the map for a long time, and then said: "Master Dian, if you want to take Luoyang, then the conflict between Li Que and Guo Si must be intensified, and they must fight as soon as possible."

After that, Liu Bowen pointed to the map and said: "Look, my lord, Cao Cao's troops are now only three hundred miles away from Hulao Pass. Once Cao Cao's troops move, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Sun Jian and others will definitely get involved. If you want to plot against Luoyang, you must first draw their attention away."

Why did Cao Cao's soldiers and horses come to help? He was for the emperor, and Cao Cao's purpose was to coerce the emperor to make the princes.As long as the emperor leaves Luoyang, the attention of the world will be focused on the emperor, thus ignoring Luoyang.

If you want the emperor to leave Luoyang, you have to let Li Que and Guo Si fight.Only when Li Que and Guo Si fought and the whole Luoyang was in chaos, could the emperor leave Luoyang.At that time, Cao Cao will still be in charge of Guo Si, Zhang Ji's life and death, and he will definitely chase after the emperor.

Luoyang is nothing more than a city to the princes of the world.The emperor is in Luoyang, so Luoyang is meaningful.What Li Chen wanted was a population of one million. With such big killers as potatoes and sweet potatoes, it would not be a big problem to feed these one million people.

At this time, the most important thing is to let Li Que, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji fight in a melee.As long as they fight, Li Le can take the opportunity to leave Xianyang with the emperor and military officials, then Li Chen's plan can succeed.

A letter from Liu Bowen ordered Jin Yiwei to send it to Luoyang and hand it over to Jia Xu.Jia Xu is most familiar with the affairs of the Xiliang Army, so it is natural for Jia Xu to do the fire fighting among them, which is the most appropriate.

Luoyang, Jia Mansion.

After Jia Xu received a letter from Liu Bowen, he opened Liu Bowen's letter.After reading the letter, Jia Xu understood the meaning of the letter.Li Chen wanted to take Luoyang, so he couldn't be passive like before, he had to take the initiative at this time.

Jia Xu knows Li Que and Guo Si very well, and if he wants to make them fight, Jia Xu can say that there are many ways.

Luoyang, Li Que's barracks.

Due to the increasingly tense situation in Luoyang these days, Li Que lives in the barracks these days.Firstly, this barracks is the safest place in his territory.Secondly, if there is any emergency, he will not cause any trouble in the barracks.

"Damn it, Guo Si, Zhang Ji is backed by someone surnamed Cao, he has become much more courageous these days." Li Que scolded angrily.

Since the loss of Cai Yan, the soldiers and horses of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu have disappeared.Li Que can be said to have one head and two big ones.But Li Que still has a fluke in his heart now, that is, Hulao Pass is still under his control.No matter how bad it is, he can still take control of Luoyang with Guo Si and Zhang Ji.

"General, please see the military advisor." Li Que was just annoyed, and a general from outside the tent came in a hurry.

"A military adviser is here?" Li Que said in surprise.

Jia Xu has said that he is ill and has not seen anyone for a long time, and he has been rejected several times when he went to ask for advice.This made Li Que lose face, so he didn't contact Jia Xu for some days.

However, Li Que didn't pay attention at this time?Jia Xu's arrival, for him, it was like being dozed off and someone came to deliver a pillow.

"Quick, please come in with the military division." Li Que said hastily.

Not long after, Jia Xu entered the tent.Li Que immediately went up to meet him, and asked with concern: "The military division is here, I wonder if your health is better these days."

"Cough cough!" Jia Xu coughed, pretending to be ill, and then pretended to be weak, "Although I'm still sick, I have to come. If I don't come, I'm afraid the general will die soon." Yeah."

Hearing this, Li Que's expression changed involuntarily.He thought to himself, I care about your body with good intentions, but you curse me that I will die soon.It's really running a donkey in the middle of the night, I don't know what's good or bad.

Li Que said with a cold face: "If the military commander is unwell, then let's go back to the mansion to rest first."

Li Que's city mansion is no match for Jia Xu.Li Que's current performance is all in Jia Xu's calculations, which is exactly what Jia Xu needs.

"General, do you think my words are a bit alarmist?" Jia Xu continued to ask.

"Hmph, Guo Si and Zhang Ji are my opponents."

"How can you allow other people to snore and sleep on the side of the couch? Even if the two join forces, they must be separated from each other. There is nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about." Li Que said pretending to be calm.

Jia Xu smiled slightly, and then asked softly, "I heard that the Cao family sent troops?"

When Jia Xu asked such a question, it happened to be in Li Que's heart.Li Que was most worried about Cao Jun, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji, but he didn't pay attention to them, but the Cao family with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, how could this make him not worry.

But even though he was worried, Li Que didn't want to show his timidity in front of Jia Xu. He bit the bullet and said, "There are Xu Rong's [-] troops at Hulao Pass. It is estimated that Cao Jun will not be able to enter Luoyang."

"General, do you really think so?" Jia Xu looked at Li Que with a half-smile.

Li Que was terrified by Jia Xu, so he stopped pretending and asked cheekily: "Military teacher, what can you do?"

For Jia Xu, Li Que actually trusts him a lot.When Dong Zhuo was planned to be killed by Lu Bu and Wang Yun.At that time, Niu Fu, Li Ru and other Dong Zhuo's confidants disappeared without a trace, and the entire Xiliang army was in a mess.

At that time, he, Guo Bang, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others submitted a surrender form to Wang Yun, but Wang Yun refused to accept it.To kill them, Dong Zhuo's former subordinates, the four of them could be said to be brothers in difficulty.

Just when the four of them were about to dismiss their troops and become rich in incognito.It was Jia Xu who came up with a plan to help them defeat Wang Yun and Lu Bu.He brought the little emperor back to Luoyang from Chang'an, occupied Hulao Pass again, and lived a stable life for several years this time.

For Jia Xu, Li Que is very convinced.

After Jia Xu pondered for a moment, he asked, "Let's ask the general, do you have any reinforcements?"

Jia Xu's question was to test Li Que, first to test out Li Que's chassis, and then to make plans for the next step, so as to help Li Chen seek Luoyang.

Hearing this, Li Que's expression froze involuntarily.

"Hey, let me tell you the truth. Originally, I contacted King Zuoxian of the Huns, and King Zuoxian also agreed to send [-] troops to help me. This King Zuoxian wanted Cai Ji, and the convoy I was sending Cai Ji to was robbed halfway. I'm afraid, this reinforcement is now yellow." Li Que said with a sigh.

Jia Xu looked at Li Que, judging from Li Que's expression, it shouldn't look like he was lying.

Jia Xu knew it well, and then said: "So, now Guo Bang and Zhang Ji are supported by Cao Jun, but the general is alone and helpless."

"Since this is the case, then we can only act first."

Chapter 148 It's the first move

"Be the first to strike first?"

"I don't know how to strike first?"

"I hope the military adviser will teach me." Li Que cupped his hands and asked for advice.

"Since the Cao family has already dispatched troops, we can no longer talk about this matter. Everyone knows Cao's heart, and their goal is the emperor. If they don't get the emperor, they will naturally not let it go. Let's ask the general, maybe what the emperor wants Let?" Jia Xu continued to ask.

Li Que replied without hesitation, "Of course not."

Li Que is different from Guo Si and Zhang Ji.The purpose of Guo Bang and Zhang Ji's grouping together is to survive, and Li Que must get rid of them if he wants to take sole control of the Xiliang Army.The two of them just wanted to survive, so they were willing to hand over the emperor to Cao Cao.But Li Que is different. Li Que's goal is to hold power like Dong Zhuo.

If he intends to hand over the emperor, then why would he kill Fan Chou? If he doesn't kill Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and Guo Si will not turn against him.If the emperor is handed over, isn't he messing around?Therefore, Li Que absolutely could not agree to handing over the emperor.

Li Que's answer was within Jia Xu's expectations. It can be said that Jia Xu can clearly guess every move and every sentence of Li Que's next move.

"Since the general is unwilling to give up the emperor, then the Cao family must be at odds with each other."

"The general thought that the delay could really continue. Now Zhang Ji and Guo Si have Cao Cao as their backer, but the general is alone and helpless. The longer it drags on, the more panicked people will be. When the general has the upper hand, Xu Rong of Hulao Pass He is the general's hardcore. But now, the general is at a disadvantage, will Xu Rong in Hulaoguan give up his life to bet with the general?" Jia Xu said lightly.

Jia Xu's understatement can be said to be heartbreaking every word.As the saying goes, when a disaster is imminent, they fly separately. In a critical moment, no one can be absolutely trusted except for the closest relatives.These words of Jia Xu can be said to have aroused Li Que's suspicion.

Seeing the flustered expression on Li Que's face, Jia Xu thought to himself, this matter is mostly settled.

Today's Li Que, under the unknowing guidance of Jia Xu, is drawn into the path set by Jia Xu.

"What strategy does the military master have, please teach me." Li Que asked hurriedly, a little flustered.

Jia Xu pondered and said: "For this matter, we can only settle the situation in Luoyang before the arrival of Cao Jun. By then, the reinforcements will be under Hulao Pass, and the general will have calmed down the situation in Luoyang. At that time, we will work together with General Xu Rong If you reject Cao's army, Luoyang will certainly have no worries."

"Military division, why don't I want to do this."

"It's just that I am equal in strength to Guo Si and Zhang Ji. I'm afraid we won't be able to tell the winner in a short time. If Cao Jun came during the melee in Luoyang, wouldn't everything be aborted." Li Que said with a sigh.

"General, I have a plan."

"Since we want to fight, we must fight fast and not slow. As the saying goes, generals are the courage of soldiers. Before we attack, we try to assassinate a group of generals in Zhang Ji and Guo Si's army. If these generals cannot be assassinated, we will Kill all their families first, young and old, so that the enemy's morale will be in turmoil. At that time, the general will have a little more confidence in gaining the upper hand." Jia Xu said softly.

Jia Xu is known as a poisoner, as the saying goes, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.How can the name of a poisoner be called in vain? The word poison is the best interpretation of Jia Xu's strategy.Jia Xu uses tactics, never considering the process, he only cares about the result.

Li Que thought about Jia Xu's plan.Everyone is in the Xiliang army, and they know each other well. If they assassinate Guo Bang, an officer in Zhang Ji's army, they are quite sure at this time.For those officers in the army, assassinating their family members can also be used to make them chaos.

It's just that once this is done, the two sides will really form an endless hatred.At that time, there will be no possibility of relaxation.

Li Que didn't know that Jia Xu had exactly this idea in mind.He just wanted to keep Li Que, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji alive.As long as Li Que followed Jia Xu's plan, then the plan would work.

Li Que pondered, he is now in a dilemma.Don't do this, it seems that I can't delay for long, once Cao Jun comes, my situation will inevitably be in crisis.But if you do this, you really have no chance of winning.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Que still couldn't decide to pay attention. He struggled and said: "Military teacher, this is only a chance of winning. If we can't win in a short time, once Cao Jun comes, we will lose."

Jia Xu looked at Li Que and knew that he was emotional now.It is also time to give Li Que a reassurance, Jia Xu is [-]% sure.Let Li Que take this reassurance pill, Li Que will definitely act according to his plan.

Jia Xu smiled, and said with a certainty of victory: "General, Xu Rong's [-] troops in Hulaoguan must guard against Cao's army, but our Xiliang army still has a soldier in another place. And this time Luoyang is not far away from the soldiers, and if they rushed to help in the starry night, it would take at most two days and nights to arrive."

"Oh?"

"Could it be that the military adviser is talking about Duan Yao from Huayin?" Li Que suddenly realized, and then hesitated: "I have never had any friendship with that Duan Yan, how can he help me."

"Although the general has no friendship with Duan Yao, I have always been close to Duan Yao. After I write a book and persuade him with kind words, Duan Yan will definitely lead his troops to help." Jia Xu said.

It is true that Jia Xu and Duan Yan's friendship is not mentioned, it can be said that it is a fateful friendship.If there is a letter from Jia Xu, Duan Yan will come to help.It's just that it's not Li Que who helped him during this period of simmering, but Li Chen who helped him.

Insert an app: The old version of the perfect replica of the book-chasing artifact can be changed to the source

Sure enough, as soon as Jia Xu said this, Li Que's heart immediately settled down a lot.

Duan Yan didn't have many soldiers and horses, and there were only more than ten thousand soldiers at full count.In normal times, Li Que wouldn't care much about the tens of thousands of soldiers.But at this time, [-] soldiers and horses are enough to make a final decision.

After a moment of reassurance, the stone hanging in Li Que's heart fell to the ground.At this time, he was also ready to shoot.Procrastination will only become more and more unfavorable to him. If Huayin Duan Yao comes to help, Li Que is [-]% sure to defeat Guo Bang and Zhang Ji, and take control of Luoyang.

Li Que gritted his teeth and said to Jia Xu: "Okay, just listen to what the military adviser said."

Seeing Li Que made a decision, Jia Xu's eyes lit up.As far as the materials of Li Que and Guo Si are concerned, Jia Xu can't handle them firmly.

"Then please ask the general to prepare for the assassination. Don't leak the news. I can write a letter to my brother Duan Yan."

"General, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. After the preparations are complete, we can start without a moment's hesitation." Jia Xu urged.

Li Que gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "Don't worry, military commander, I know this matter well."

The two made a plan, Li Que ordered his confidants to choose a good fighter from the army to prepare for the assassination, Jia Xu sent a letter back to Huayin, and Li Ru personally sent the letter.The content of the letter was to tell Duan Yan that they had already taken refuge in Li Chen and invited Duan Yan to join them.If you make great contributions to the acquisition of Luoyang, you can be regarded as qualified for promotion.

1Chapter 16 Eight Bull Crossbow

As the saying goes, good fire wastes carbon, good girl Fei Han.In order to complete this task, Li Chen was almost bald.

The famous Cai Ji is indeed very moist, but it is not difficult for most people, but who can resist this day. ,

After tossing all night, the fields are very fertile and the cattle are tired enough.

Congratulations to the host Wancheng mission.

Mission Rating: SSS.

Get the Platinum Blind Box.

Thoughts sank into his mind, Li Chen immediately decided to open the blind box to see what could be opened this time.

"Open the blind box." Li Chen responded in his mind.

Open the Platinum Blind Box.

Obtained, Platinum Items, Eight Bull Crossbow Drawings.

"Eight Bull Crossbow?" Li Chen looked at the system rewards, wondering how he would reward himself with this thing.

Well, maybe the system is implying that he is good at shooting.

The eight-ox crossbow can definitely be called a platinum-level item. You must know that this is the most advanced weapon in the Song Dynasty, hundreds of years, nearly a thousand years ahead of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.This kind of weapon can definitely be said to be a cross-age product in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms.

Eight-ox crossbow, also known as three-bow bed crossbow, can also be called ballista.What it shoots are not arrows, but javelins that are more than ten feet long.Take the javelin as the arrow, and the arrow feathers on the javelin are a circle of iron plates.Such a javelin is shot on the city wall and can be nailed deeply into the city wall.

The bow body of the eight-ox crossbow is composed of three huge bows. Normally, the bowstring is twisted by a winch.If manpower is used, it will take thirty soldiers to draw the bowstring.If oxen were used to draw the bow, a full eight oxen would be needed.Therefore, it is called the Eight Bull Crossbow.

The eight-ox crossbow blueprint rewarded by the system is the most powerful eight-ox crossbow in the Song Dynasty.The shooting range is a thousand steps, and one step in the Song Dynasty was about 153 meters, which means that the eight-ox crossbow has a shooting range of about 500 meters.

There are seven arrow slots on the crossbow arm of this eight-ox crossbow, and several arrows can be placed at the same time.The one in the middle is the largest, and it is used for launching a javelin as long as Zhang Zhang, and there are three slightly smaller arrows on each side.

Li Chen thought, his system is indeed a mature system.Knowing that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, after giving himself the blueprint, he can recruit a steady stream of eight-ox crossbows.

The main function of the eight-ox crossbow is to defend and attack the city. Whether it is defending or attacking the city, it can be called a rare artifact.

Li Chen felt that his blind box system was too dishonest, and he always released some tasks that made him want to do whatever he wanted.Hey, if this goes on, my waist can't bear it a bit.

Luoyang, Jia Mansion.
