Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 390: He Kang Shouchun's Crossbow (Part 1)
"Lord Kuai, you're welcome. These people are all Han people." Lu Bu said with a smile, "Sir Kuai, please come!"
Kuai Liang cupped his hands and said: "Marquis of Jin please!"
After sitting down, Kuai Liang said: "It is a great fortune for the Han Dynasty that the Marquis of Jin can come here out of righteousness."
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Kuai Liang showed politeness, and Lu Bu also greeted him with a smile.
"I wonder what the Marquis of Jin thinks of the current situation in the world?" Kuai Liang asked, changing the subject.
"Master Kuai, now that the traitor Yuan Shu has been put down, it is natural for the saint to be benevolent and revitalize the great Han Dynasty." Lu Bu said perfunctorily.
Kuai Liang said in a serious tone: "Although the traitor Yuan Shu was defeated, he has been entrenched in Huainan for many years. How could he stop? The Marquis of Wu and Jingzhou have deep grudges. The officials of various states and counties support their own troops and do not listen to orders. They are actually the descendants of the Han Dynasty."
It’s unfortunate.”
"The Marquis of Jin is loyal and the Holy One knows it. If the Marquis of Jin is willing to help the Holy One to wipe out Yu Nei, his name will definitely go down in history and be respected by future generations. Now the Marquis of Jin is a cavalry general. With the bravery of the Marquis of Jin, he is ranked as a general."
It's not impossible." Kuai Yue said slowly, the general is ranked above the three princes.
Lu Bu thought for a moment and said: "Of course I am loyal to the Han Dynasty, but Bingzhou is not stable. Jizhou and Bingzhou have been grudges for a long time. However, if there is an order from the Holy One, I should obey it."
Kuai Liang saluted solemnly and said: "In the next generation, the common people of the Han Dynasty will thank the Marquis of Jin!"
After sending Kuai Liang away, Lu Bu turned his attention to Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao, what do you think of this person?"
"Kuai Liang has won the trust of the Holy One. This person may have sent the grain and grass this time." From Kuai Liang's words, what Guo Jia heard was a temptation, and Bingzhou's attitude was very important to the Han Dynasty.
"There are many talented people in Jingzhou. When I go to Jingzhou, I hope Fengxiao can recruit more talents for Bingzhou." Lu Bu said with a smile.
Guo Jia said yes, but he was not very sure in his heart. The ideas of literati are very different from those of military generals. They cherish reputation more. In this regard, Bingzhou has a great disadvantage, not to mention that literati are more likely to be from aristocratic families.
, what they care more about is the interests of the family.
A great defeat also made everyone in Shouchun feel in danger. Some civil servants and military generals even secretly showed their favor to Jiangdong. Sun Ce had followed Yuan Shu's orders before, but now that Yuan Shu had lost power, Sun Ce occupied Yangzhou in one fell swoop. They also understood that Yuan Shu could not last long.
.
Yuan Shu knew that he could not survive for long. Thinking of all the past events, he felt a little unwilling. The imperial doctors in the palace were also helpless.
At this time, Yuan Shu thought of Yuan Shao, who was also a member of the Yuan family. He did not want what he had in his hands to be taken away by others, so he sent Yan Xiang to quietly go to Yuan Shao's army.
"Where is the general?" After a great defeat, the high-spirited Yuan Shu became haggard, his face was bloodless, and he looked like an old man entering his twilight years, exuding a heavy aura of death.
"I'm here." Zhang Xun stepped forward with evasive eyes. He had secretly expressed his goodwill to Jiangdong and obtained Wu Hou's promise, but the premise was that he would bring the secret of the crossbow and the jade seal to Jiangdong as a way to enter.
Yuan Shu kept the matter of the bed crossbow extremely confidential, and even he didn't know it. It was extremely difficult for Yuxi to succeed. Although he was a general, there were many dead soldiers around Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu's prestige in the army was higher than him.
"General, I am also about to die soon. The Zhong family's army was defeated and tens of thousands of elite soldiers died on the battlefield. Sun Ce's son is even more ungrateful. After my death, I hope that the general can treat my descendants well." Yuan Shu also wants a descendant.
He wanted to succeed the Zhong family, but it was obviously impossible. A great defeat had completely destroyed the Zhong family. The thirty thousand soldiers and horses in the city could not give him confidence.
Zhang Xun cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, although the Zhong family was defeated and the rebel Liu Biao also lost his army, why don't you save the dragon body for the future? The power of the bed crossbow shocked the princes. If there are another two hundred bed crossbows in hand, Why worry about not being able to revitalize the Zhong family?"
A flash of light flashed in Yuan Shu's eyes, and he immediately shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to lead you to revitalize the Zhong family, but it's actually my disease that no one can cure. Now I only have Jiujiang under my control. It's a pity that Zhong The family's army was defeated because of Li Dou." Speaking of this, Yuan Shu gritted his teeth angrily.
"Your Majesty will last for thousands of generations, and the Zhong family will surely dominate the world. I am willing to do my best to assist your Majesty and achieve great things." Zhang Xun said.
Yuan Shu sighed: "I am very pleased that the general has such a heart."
After talking about this, Zhang Xun showed helplessness when Yuan Shu still refused to reveal the method of making the bed crossbow. He had also thought about learning the method of making the bed crossbow through the craftsmen, but the craftsmen who participated in the making of the bed crossbow They were all brutally killed by Yuan Shu. It was only after learning about this that Zhang Xun decided to defect to Jiangdong. He could no longer feel any fighting spirit from Yuan Shu. With Shouchun's current condition, even if Liu Biao did not launch an invasion, it would not last long. .
It is simply impossible for a county to afford the expenses of an army of 30,000. Moreover, after Yuan Shu's defeat, more and more people in Jiujiang fled to other places. Many aristocratic families in the city also left with their families. Shouchun is too chaotic.
The chaos in Shouchun also allowed He Kang to successfully become a captain in the army. With money in hand, many things became much simpler. Besides, at this time, the generals in the army were thinking about how to obtain greater benefits. Even though He Kang entered the army as an ordinary citizen, he was able to deliver money in a timely manner and was tactful. He became a captain in the army from an ordinary soldier within one month.
During a month in Shouchun, the thirty Flying Eagle soldiers were not idle. Their purpose was to obtain the production method of the bed crossbow and secretly inquire about the bed crossbow. As for money matters, they did not need to consider it. .
"Commander, today the general proposed the construction of bed crossbows in front of Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu did not disclose it." A Flying Eagle soldier looked around and lowered his voice.
He Kang nodded. He was an informant beside Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu probably knew some of the people he met every day. However, Yuan Shu kept the bed crossbow secret very well. He even suspected that only Yuan Shu knew about it in Shouchun. The whereabouts of the bed crossbow was also the most embarrassing thing for He Kang. Although Yuan Shu lost power, the palace was heavily guarded and it was difficult to get close. He also spent a lot of money to bribe a maid beside Yuan Shu.
"Find a way to target Yuan Shu's family, and be sure to find out the whereabouts of the crossbow as soon as possible." He Kang said in a deep voice. During this period of time, he had clearly felt that there were many suspicious people in the city. Needless to think, these People must be the craftsmen of the princes. After seeing the power of the bed crossbow, they would be lying if they said they were not moved. I don't know where Yuan Shu got the method of making the bed crossbow. The bed crossbow was an absolute secret among the Han Dynasty.
