Chapter 272 Liu Xuande Returns
When the soldiers heard Guan Yu's order, they heard the sound and started. Only their footsteps were raised. In the sky, the stones rolled down like dense raindrops. "Puff" is the sound of a stone hitting a quilt table, and "Bang" is the sound of a stone hitting a shield. Medium-sized stones can be resisted by the soldiers, while the large stones smashed soldiers carrying quilts on wooden tables and soldiers with shields into serious internal injuries. They spit out blood and immediately fainted to the ground.
This time, Yuan Shu's army did not directly use explosives to deal with Liu Bei's army. They changed their way, used explosives to explodite the mountains, and attacked Liu Bei's army with the help of favorable terrain...
Of course, well-trained soldiers sacrifice their lives to make up for the gaps and guard them. The angry Guan Zhang Er explored everywhere, but did not find any trace of the enemy. When the roaring valley returned to calm, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses had damaged nearly a thousand people, and ten of the 40 heavy trucks were smashed. Fortunately, no soldiers died. Nearly 1,000 soldiers were only seriously injured and temporarily lost their combat effectiveness. But invisibly, the injured soldiers affect the speed of the march. If they are dead, they can be buried on the spot without having to separate at least two soldiers to take care of one wounded person...
At this time, the second section of the valley was hindered by piles of stones, and it was impossible for the army to move forward. Liu Bei led his troops to attack Xiao County many times. This time, the effect was the worst. He didn't even see Xiao County, and the soldiers lost one-fifth of the losses. Liu Bei's army was well prepared and thought it could block the other party's explosives. Unexpectedly, the enemy changed the way of fighting. Instead of throwing explosives with bows and arrows or stone throwers, it used explosives cleverly using the terrain. As a result, Liu Bei's side had no way to fight back. Because after the enemy ignited the explosives, they retreated at the first time...
If Ji Ling's side has the strength to fight against Liu Bei, he can beat Liu Bei this time and can't turn him over. It's a pity that Ji Ling is also powerless! The first time he fought with Liu Bei, Ji Ling fought against Zhang Fei. He was defeated by Zhang Fei in 30 rounds. At that time, he was almost captured alive by Zhang Fei.
If Yuan Shao's side hadn't owned the secret weapon of explosives, Liu Bei's side could have occupied Xiao County for the first battle...
The battle escalates weapons and makes tactics emerge one after another. You have your Zhang Liangji, and he has his Xiao Hece, and the two sides are equally fighting. However, Ji Ling's side is still at a disadvantage as a whole. After all, Ji Ling's side does not dare to cross the thunder pool north of Xiao County. Ji Ling's tactic to deal with Liu Bei's side is to guard against it and warn Liu Bei's side with explosives from time to time. No matter how the process is and how despicable the means are, Ji Ling's side finally defended the city, and although Liu Bei's side has an advantage, it has nothing to do about the city!
Tai Shici and Gan Ning, who had been observing in the dark, felt sorry, especially Gan Ning, who saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for the first time. He still failed to witness Guan Zhang Er's super martial arts. Of course, he and Tai Shici saw the soldiers who ignited explosives on Ji Ling's side. Those soldiers were hidden in deep caves. They avoided the search of the enemy scouts and the exploration of General Guan Zhang Er. Then they judged the depth of the army's entry into the valley according to the footsteps of Liu Bei's march... Then, they ignited the explosive lead and quickly Retired and evacuated.
Under the silent attention of Tai Shici and Gan Ning, Liu Bei's side redeployed: they moved away the stone pile in the way and returned the original way. In this way, the reckless man Zhang Fei shouted angrily.
The power of explosives fascinated Taishi. If explosives are used on the battlefield, the lethality will definitely exceed that of oil cans and new stone throwers. However, explosives also have fatal shortcomings, that is, the problem of the lead. If the lead is too long, a general like Guan Zhang can completely break the lead with the peerless method. Since then, the explosive will be invalid. The craftsmanship of the Three Kingdoms period can never make a high-end explosive weapon like a grenade. Even if it can be made, if you throw a grenade at a super general like Guan Zhang, they can completely smash it back to the opponent's camp with weapons, and as a result, it will blow up their own people.
In any case, Taishi Cixinsheng wanted to meet the strange man withered wood Taoist priest who made explosives. After all, up to now, the craftsmen who hide the Misty Island have not found a way to make high-grade explosives... Although they have not been able to see Guan Zhang Erjiang's martial arts as expected, Gan Ning believes that he has gained a lot. Therefore, Taishi Ci comforted Gan Ning with the words of his adoptive brother Guo Jia - as Guo Jia said: Even if the people who travel far do not achieve their original purpose, they will always have gains - "If you climb high, you will feel inferior, and if you travel far away, you will be at home." In addition to the improvement of mood, take ten thousand steps back, at least you are familiar with the geographical environment and local people of the strange environment. Love...
If it weren't for this trip, I don't know when Tai Shici will pay attention to the important thing of dynamite? It may be the time when your side loses troops^^......
In terms of opinion, through his contact with Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, Tai Shici concluded that Liu Bei's character and talent far exceeded Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Although Liu Bei is ambitious, he acts in a low-key manner and compromises. For many years, Liu Bei's army has been about 5,000 people; even if there are two super generals under his command, Liu Bei still starts from the basics and never comes up rashly. He is also waiting for the situation to change, so as to stand out. If it doesn't sound, it will be amazing. In a way, Liu Bei's situation is very similar to that of Tai Shici. And Yuan Shu is a dage boy, the second ancestor whose heart is higher than the sky and his life is thinner than paper...
Tai Shici believes that no matter what Liu Bei's origin is, he is qualified to compete in the Central Plains and win the world. His achievements should be far more than the Yuan brothers of a rich family, and Liu Yan and Liu Biao, who are also royal relatives. At the same time, Liu Bei's origin also decided that he would never rely on forces like Sun Quan or Cao Cao, otherwise the world would be peaceful? On the other hand, Cao Cao and Sun Quan will not support Liu Bei, who is a royal relative, otherwise the world will be peaceful. Will history progress?
"Wanghou generals, would rather have guts?" This sentence travels through time and space and is still roaring, which is exciting... However, with the identity of the royal family, Liu Bei can win a part of the hearts of the people!
Liu Bei led the army back to the camp, and Tai Shici and Gan Ning also rode back to Woyang City. Originally, Tai Shici also wanted to take time to visit his adoptive brother Guo Jia in Xuzhou City, but he was afraid that it would affect the great event of stealing the jade seal. Gan Ning also wants to see Guo Jia and see the demeanor of a super counselor known as the reincarnation of Jiang Taigong...
If we meet, Taishi Ci wants to ask Guo Jia: Brother Feng Xiao, you are married and still so unrestrained. How can you let your sister-in-law be so easy? Or he asked: Brother Feng filial piety, how do you feel when you go wild after marriage? Doesn't marriage have any impact on you? ... He has too much to say. He wants to ask Guo Jia! And the first few questions must be those in that aspect...
In the past few days, under the secret operation of Taishici, he and Gan Ning's people have taken over Woyang City and the ferry wharf that can make money. Tai Shici's personal name is General Zhu's staff, but in fact, he is General Zhu's immediate superior. General Zhu treats him more than his own father.
At the Wuyang official residence, Taishi Ci asked General Zhu, "General Zhu, does Yuan Shu believe in the death of his uncle Feng Guang?"
"Guncle, your Majesty... No, Yuan Shu believes in the words of the villain. Uncle, the villain also said that his uncle's entourage absconded in fear of crime..." General Zhu still doesn't know who Taishi's surname is. All he knows is that his life is in the hands of the people in front of him. Uncle, every time the little man handed over much less gold than before. The top asked, the little one said that there were few guests crossing the river recently... Uncle, as usual, what should I do if the top wants to change the villain?"
General Zhu was also afraid that he had no use value. Tai Shici immediately turned his face and killed people ruthlessly.
"Ha ha, General Zhu, you don't have to worry too much. Even if that happens, do you think the generals sent above can reach Wuyang City smoothly?" Tai Shici responded with a smile. Then, he asked, "General Zhu, didn't Li Dian send someone here?"
When General Zhu heard that Tai Shici had a way to deal with the people above, his hanging heart fell back to its original place. He said loyally to Tai Shici, "Master, I heard that Lord Li is going to sit at the ferry wharf in person. He should be able to arrive today!"
When Tai Shici heard this, he still smiled on the surface, but he was thinking in his heart: What does Li Dian explain by sitting at the ferry wharf in person? Did Cao Cao have a large-scale military operation on his side? Does Cao Cao want to monopolize this traffic lane? If Cao Cao wants to occupy Wuyang City, he will divide Yuan Shu's army into north and south, and encircle and annihilate it... If so, can I still use the dock to make money? ......
Now it leads the wolf into the house. It's hard to get off the tiger! Tai Shici felt unable to laugh or cry.
Near noon, Li Dian arrived as scheduled. When he saw Taishici, he gave his hometown's specialty three-whip wine and honey-juice dates to Taishici. The so-called three-whip wine is made of tiger whip, bear whip and deer whip through secret method. It is a must-have for martial arts practitioners to travel at home.
Li Dian must give Tai Shici a statement about his sitting on the ferry wharf. He explained to Tai Shici, "En Gong, the reason why Dian personally takes care of the ferry is actually forced by the situation. Dian returned halfway before he reaches the barracks... Don't worry, my lord Cao Gong has no intention to touch the ferry. Even if the situation changes in the future and there is strong support, this ferry will still belong to the benefactor!"
Looking at Li Dian's oath, Taishi Ci nodded with a smile and replied, "Ha ha, Brother Li, the ferry is for the two of us. Brother Li, don't call me that in the future. It's too common! Brother Li is older, let's call him brother!"
"So, it's a big deal! Taishi Brothers!" Li Dian straightened his waist from the seat and bowed his hand to sing.
"Ha ha, Brother Li, it's important to make friends with each other. Just feel free to be happy! Brother Li, brother, respect you!" Taishi Ci raised his glass and invited. Later, Gan Ning also drank three glasses of wine with Li Dian.
After that, the three of them opened their hearts to talk about martial arts while drinking. When it comes to strategy, Tai Shici and Gan Ning pretend not to understand and pretend to be a cheater. In terms of martial arts, the two are unreserved, especially the shortcuts and tricks to break through the intermediate martial arts level and enter the innate realm. In this way, Li Dian was overjoyed.
Li Dian's mood and mentality, if not controlled by hatred, Tai Shici is sure, and he can definitely attract it. Unfortunately, Li Dian's hatred followed Cao Cao first. ...Don't Tai Shici have a chance at all? Of course not. Tai Shici can wait patiently, wait for Cao Cao to make a mistake, and wait for the moment when Li Dian no longer agrees with Cao Cao...
Zhao Yun, Li Dian, Ma Chao and other famous generals, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and other super think tanks. Tai Shici was lucky to meet and was predestined, but they did not work together and became a master-slave relationship. Although it's a pity, Tai Shici is not in a hurry, really not in a hurry...
Finally, Taishi Ci and Li Dian agreed that Tai Shici helped Li Dian enter the innate realm and lay a solid foundation for Li Dian to avenge Yuan Shao. At the same time, Li Dian agreed to the conditions put forward by Tai Shici: First, the martial arts skills of the innate realm will not be revealed in ten years, unless you protect yourself; Second, try not to tell the truth of Tai Shici to the second person. Name...
If it hadn't been for the revelation of Taishi Ci and Gan Ning, it is estimated that Li Dian might not have entered the innate realm and become a super fierce general in his lifetime. Because Li Dian was blessed with deep fate and talent, he was just a hearty battle in a secret place. Tai Shici helped Li Dian successfully enter the innate realm, and even the elixirs were not used. Therefore, Li Dian's gratitude to Tai Shici can't be described in words. After being delayed for some time in Woyang City, Taishi Ci and Gan Ning said goodbye to Li Dian and returned to Huainan City.
There was a clue to the whereabouts of Yuxi. Tai Shici and Gan Ning touched the vine. Through several days of exploration, they basically found out the area where the mausoleum built by Yuan Shu was located.
