Zhao Yun did not leave the city immediately after leaving the county mansion.

He took a short detour halfway and went to find Fan Cheng first.

It has to be said that it is not entirely unreasonable for Gongsun Zan to never hand over military power to Gongsun Xu.Although Gongsun Xu is the son of a general, he only knows how to fight for military power with him, but he has no general talent.

The cavalry are sharp in charge, but not good at defending the city.Therefore, even though Baima Yicong is the elite of the world's brave cavalry, he has always swept the battlefield as a vanguard and defeated the enemy's spirit, but he has never been used to guard the city.Even after Zhao Yun led five thousand riders into Qingzhou that day, he abandoned his horses and held his bow, stood on the top of the city with both feet, and defended the city. Liu Bei's momentum suppressed Liu Bei who was attacking at night.

However, Gongsun Xu didn't seem to know such a simple way of being a general.

Even if he took away the cavalry under Gongsun Zan's command, even if the soldiers and horses he left in Qingzhou would never be transferred by Gongsun Xu, there are still thousands of elite soldiers in Ju County who have followed Gongsun Zan to fight all the way since Youzhou.Inside the county mansion, there are hundreds of personal guards holding arms day and night, waiting in full force.

These soldiers are just now the sharp weapons for defending the city.As for these personal guards, as long as they did not involve Gongsun Zan's order, the guards of the county mansion were all arranged by Gongsun Xu.

If these personal guards are in the hands of Zhao Yun, although the inside and outside of the county mansion are not impenetrable, they are enough to make people daunting.But now...

A mere Ma Rao from Liangzhou can advance and retreat freely in the county mansion, and even sneak into the front hall to spy on the military situation!

How can Zhao Yun rest assured that there is no one around Wang Wu with such defenses?

However, Zhao Yun did not find Fan Cheng.

He walked around the city, and finally learned from the soldiers who stayed at the gate of the city to respond to the orders when he came back that Fan Cheng had already left the city in one hour.

Recalling Wang Wu's expression when he just mentioned asking Fan Cheng to return to the county mansion, Zhao Yun suddenly realized that this young man was probably sent away by Wang Wu again.

Even though he was slightly annoyed, Zhao Yun made a decision very quickly, without further delay, he immediately sent an order to gather three hundred elites and gather in the forest ten miles outside the city gate.

When three hundred soldiers and horses with flags swaying and horseshoes appeared at the gate of the city in full suit, it was already the setting sun and sunset.

Chen Kuang rode alone, standing under the city tower, one person and one horse, his figure was stretched extremely long by the setting sun, and he threw himself into the ground.When Zhao Yun and the shadow stopped and reined in, he raised his hand and saluted Zhao Yun: "Zilong has worked hard all the way." Naturally, it seemed as if he had never seen Zhao Yun last night, and Zhao Yun really just came back from Xuzhou.

Zhao Yun hurriedly returned the salute, held the rein and drove the horse closer, and stood side by side with him, loosened the rein, and let the horse walk slowly into the city.

"The envoy from Liangzhou knew that Ma Teng's daughter had been beating the city overnight with an arrow, and had spied on our Qingzhou military newspaper, insulting the general. Now he is 'discussing' this matter with the major general."

When Chen Kuang said the word "discussion", he paused for a while, with a smile typical of modest scholars on his face, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Ma Teng and Cao Cao fought in Chang'an. Although it was still a close match, Cao Cao's strong attack at any cost still gave him a headache.The purpose of sending the envoy to Qingzhou was to find out Gongsun Zan's attitude. He didn't fully expect Qingzhou to do what he wanted. Attacking Cao Cao on both sides would at least make Gongsun Zan stand on the sidelines, and at the same time make Cao Cao, who was attacking at any cost and never retreat, feel scruples , to slow down the offensive slightly, let him take a breath.

Unexpectedly, Ma Rao caused such a big disaster.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but smiled, needless to say, besides Wang Wu, who else could have revealed Ma Rao's whereabouts and deeds to Liangzhou?

Spy on the military situation can be big or small.It is not impossible to have a good talk and ask for a price.What's more, it can add chaos to Gongsun Xu.

But Chen Kuang used the word "negotiation".Apparently, Gongsun Xu didn't charge a high price.

"Ah Wu is going to be annoyed this time." Zhao Yun couldn't help feeling that it was a pity that he let go of such a good opportunity. According to Wang Wu's temperament, he didn't know how to be annoyed.

Wang Wu was obviously not as disappointed as Zhao Yun thought, she didn't even care about what Gongsun Xu and Liangzhou Laishi talked about.

After Gongsun Zan vomited blood and passed out, he suddenly had a high fever, raving and screaming continuously.Wang Wu's previous recommendation for a doctor was rejected by Gongsun Xu. At this time, the military doctor was at a loss, and Gongsun Xu had to deal with Liangzhou envoys begging him for Ma Rao, and also had to deal with the reactions of many soldiers who were present and witnessed how Gongsun Zan became such , indignant and frightened, overwhelmed, and flustered, he thought of the "miracle doctor" that Wang Wu said.

When Zhao Yun returned to the county mansion, it happened that Zhang Zhongjing's medicine and stone injections were all ready.Gongsun Zan's life was hanging by a thread, and the already unbearable guards in the county mansion were in chaos.Zhao Yun didn't have time to go to see Wang Wu with Chen Kuang, so he forcibly intervened in the defense immediately, ordered troops to be deployed, patrolled and garrisoned, and took over completely.

Those three hundred soldiers all walked out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood on the battlefield. Even though their knives were out of their sheaths, their bows in their hands, and they were full of blood, they had a sharpness and fierceness that was more difficult to match with any blade or strong bow. Fierce and breathtaking.There were only 300 people, with orders and prohibitions, and clanging footsteps, but it seemed that they could not even hear the sound of breathing. Wherever they went, the palpitating silence seemed to have the power to devour souls.

***

When Zhao Yun was busy setting up his defenses, Chen Kuang, who had finally escaped, was talking to Wang Wu about how he and Gongsun Xu met the envoy from Liangzhou together.

"Ma Teng's edict!" Hearing Chen Kuang say that the envoy from Liangzhou couldn't come up with the so-called emperor's edict, Wang Wu was shocked, but even more puzzled.

Cao Cao brought his troops into Chang'an under the banner of King Qin's escort, and even Yuan Jun of Bingzhou, who had a bone in his throat, couldn't care less. At this time, just in the name of Ma Chao in Liangzhou, Cao Cao would never take the initiative to provoke Ma Chao. Teng.If these two families fight, the only possibility is that Ma Teng takes the initiative to send troops.

And if Ma Teng also has the heart of coercing the emperor to make the princes, his Liangzhou is the closest to Sili. Compared with Cao Cao in Gunzhou, they have been operating in Qingzhou for a long time, with a deep foundation and no worries.He never thought of this until Cao Cao led his troops to Chang'an.

In this case, if you ask for help, aren't you afraid that Cao Cao will falsely accuse him, Guo Si and Li Jue of being the same generation of chaotic Han?

Chen Kuang glanced at the long and slender fingers that were unconsciously tapping back and forth on the wooden table, as if seeing through her doubts, and smiled slightly: "Ma Teng, the Qiang soldier, was invited by Dong Zhuo when he first came to Chang'an. The chaos was at the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si. Ma Teng fought with these two men several times, but he was unable to win, so he returned to Liangzhou. Although he did not have an edict from the emperor, the name of this chaotic man still cannot be planted on his head .”

His voice paused, and his gaze shifted from the wooden case to Wang Wu's face: "A Wu, you forgot someone."

"Ok?"

"When you came back from Cao Ying, you said that when Cao Cao entered Chang'an, what else would he do besides coercing the emperor to command the princes?"

It's Liu Bei!

Wang Wu's eyes lit up, and she suddenly understood.

How did she forget about this white-faced old fox?In Liu Bei's mind, naturally he would not foolishly believe that Cao Cao invited him to Chang'an, because he really just wanted to borrow his identity as a clan member of the Han Dynasty.Knowing that it is a trick to invite the king into the urn, but the bait is too big, and it is impossible for him not to follow the trick.

He set off later than Cao Cao, and Xuzhou was far away. If Cao Cao put down the Chang'an Rebellion before he arrived, then he would undoubtedly be a real self-inflicted trap.

Therefore, he can only make Chang'an more chaotic, so chaotic that Cao Cao has no time to plan, so chaotic that he arrives in Chang'an safely, meets the emperor, and uses the mouth of the emperor to exercise the power of the emperor's uncle!It would be best to delay Cao Cao's military supplies and let him fish in troubled waters!

Li Jue and Guo Si are the source of the Chang'an rebellion, Ma Teng has a rift with Li Jue, and Liu Bei bears the name of the emperor's uncle... It is obviously more convincing than Cao Cao to persuade Ma Teng to take Chang'an with him.

Liu Bei's strategy of taking chestnuts out of the fire is natural and logical.Of course, Ma Teng obviously had his own calculations, and was unwilling to make wedding dresses for others, exhausting his own strength.That's why he wanted to borrow troops from Qingzhou and let Gongsun Zan share the burden.Compared with Liu Bei, who was still a classmate in the past, Gongsun Zan was obviously more incompatible with Cao Cao. The siege of Julu was heard all over the world.

Furthermore, the situation in Chang'an is beyond the reach of Qingzhou. No matter how strong Gongsun Zan's troops are, he cannot directly intervene. If this time, according to Ma Teng's words, or to avenge the giant deer, he sent troops to attack Cao Cao's rear. Ma Teng settled Chang'an and Liu Bei Turn over in one fell swoop, and then give a false name in the name of the emperor, without any effort.

The reason for this went around a big circle, and Wang Wu thought hard.Bit by bit, after concentrating on it for a long while, I slowly sorted out the criss-crossing relationship among them.

She let out a long sigh of relief, only feeling a little dizzy in her mind.

These ancient people...how did their brains grow...

But on second thought, Cao Cao must have the same idea as her now.He recruited Liu Bei, but he unexpectedly recruited Ma Teng. In the middle of the game, he obviously had even more headaches.What's more, he obviously has a genius with the world's best wisdom by his side, and he probably doesn't dare to use it now!

Thinking of this, Wang Wu swept away the frustration just now, and smiled.

The more chaotic Cao Cao is now, the greater her chances of winning in the future.She can't stop the emperor, but Liu Bei's move has invisibly bought time for her plan, so how can she not be happy!

I really don't know what kind of expression Liu Bei will have if he knows this in the future?Wang Wu remembered that when they first arrived in Qingzhou, Liu Bei took advantage of the night to attack the city, but was so scared by her as a "fake Zhao Yun" that he kept yelling out old feelings. After Zhang Yanru descended from the sky, when she showed her true colors, Liu Bei almost regretted it. With a livid face, he couldn't help but smile even more happily.

Zhao Yun rearranged the defense in the county mansion, and then hurried to find Wang Wu.Just turned around the corridor, just in time to hear Wang Wu's brisk and clear laughter coming from the half-open door.There was no trace of the annoyance he had worried about before.

"Ah Wu..." Zhao Yun walked a few steps quickly, knocked on the door and was about to enter, when he heard hurried footsteps behind him.He turned around abruptly, and saw Fan Cheng's thin figure spinning towards him like a gust of wind.

When Wang Wu heard Zhao Yun's voice, she stood up happily.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the half-closed door was opened, Fan Cheng slammed and fell in front of her feet.

Wang Wu was startled, and couldn't help taking two steps back.

"Brother Zhao!" Fan Cheng ran all the way, and when he noticed Zhao Yun, it was too late to stop, but he thought that the two would collide, but he didn't expect Zhao Yun to suddenly step aside at the last moment, so he...

Wang Wu raised her eyebrows, feeling a little puzzled.

With Zhao Yun's skill, how could he allow Fan Chengcheng to fall in front of him?

The moment she raised her eyes, she unexpectedly saw Zhao Yun feeling uncomfortable under her gaze for a moment... embarrassed?

Zhao Yun did this...on purpose!

Wang Wu realized it all at once, but at the same time, she couldn't believe it.Even if Fan Cheng was annoyed...she paid him again, Zhao Yun didn't hold him accountable for violating orders, but deliberately made him...fall...

Zhao Yun has never been a person who holds grudges, what's more, he knows in his heart that Fan Cheng will be supported by Wang Wu because those things are either really important, or they are related to him.But just when he saw Fan Cheng rushing towards him without thinking, for some reason, he suddenly thought of the trick he had made a few hours ago, so he slipped to the side just like that...

Clearing his throat calmly, Zhao Yun turned half of his body, lifted Fan Cheng from the ground, and avoided Wang Wu's gaze.

"What is this?" Chen Kuang also got up and walked out when he heard the movement, just in time to see a ball of cloth falling from Fan Cheng's hand.

The white cloth is half-covered and half-opened, revealing a few rough and scribbled paintings.

Wang Wu's gaze shone slightly, she squatted down, and spread out the folded corners of the cloth on the ground.

What is drawn on the cloth is a sketch of a strange bow and crossbow structure.It is said to be a bow and crossbow, but there is a small and delicate box on the crossbow. There are also several feathered arrows drawn in the box, which are stacked up and down in a row. Ready to go.

Chen Kuang was well-informed and Zhao Yun was familiar with bows and horses. Although there were only a few strokes, they understood at a glance what kind of bow and crossbow this painting was.

Drawing a bow and drawing an arrow requires long-term training. There are thousands of soldiers in an army, but there are often only a few dozen who can hold a bow.But the crossbow is different, as long as it is held flat on the shoulder, and the trigger is pulled, it will have its own strength, the crossbow will have a good sight, and it is very easy to get started.However, changing arrows on a crossbow requires carefully inserting the arrows into the arrow slots, which is extremely time-consuming and far less convenient and fast than pulling a bow. Therefore, on the battlefield, only the first wave of offensive when charging is possible, and its power is limited. .

But in this picture, several arrows are stacked together. After each shot, the upper arrow will automatically fall into the arrow slot, and the cage will be fastened again at the same time. There is no need to waste time and money to replace arrows. ...

Zhao Yun couldn't help but change slightly: "Who made this picture?"

When Wang Wu saw the painting, she seemed relieved, stood up slowly, waved her hand to Zhao Yun, motioned him to ask later, then turned to look at Fan Cheng, and asked, "Who is he?" How to say?"

Running in a hurry, he fell again. Fan Cheng's face was flushed, but when he saw the painting, he immediately cheered up: "That kid is very cunning. He first asked me whose idea it was. But he didn’t speak for a long time. After finally drawing this for me, he talked nonsense again.”

"What did he say?" Wang Wu asked again.

Fan Cheng looked at Zhao Yun, then at Chen Kuang, bit his lip, full of displeasure: "He said, he also thought about the method of this crossbow, but if there are many arrows, the crossbow will be heavy, which is not good for soldiers to carry. When you gain the ability to change the arrow, you lose the speed of travel, and one gain may not be able to compensate for the other loss, so it is discarded."

Seeing Wang Wu frowning slightly, he hesitated for a moment, and then said what he said in his heart: "What kind of crossbow is too heavy to bear! There are always more people who are strong than those who can hold a bow! I think this kid just saw that this crossbow is exquisite and wonderful , in order to grab credit, this is nonsense, so as to prove that this is what he thought of a long time ago..."

"This idea is indeed what he thought." Regardless of Fan Cheng's surprised face, Wang Wu's eyes burst into a bright smile, "It's just that if you can't bear it, don't carry it, this crossbow can still kill the enemy!"

The author has something to say: Kaka~ Now everyone knows that Fan Cheng was paid by Ah Wu to do something amazing~~ahhaha~ the magic weapon is in hand!

This artifact does have the disadvantages mentioned above, which is why it has not been able to flourish~~

While preparing the materials for the meeting, I was typing like crazy... Please protect me from writing the speech written by the boss later... Momo—
