Chapter 16 Improving the mite

"Wen He, what has Yuan Benchu been busy with recently?" In Cao Jun's big account, Cao asked Jia Xu beside him leisurely.

"According to the lord, the Hebei army still attacked every day, but it was repulsed by our army. The same is true for both Baima and Yanjin. Jia Xu replied faintly.

"Well, Yuan Benchu has a good surname, and he doesn't go back to Yecheng for the Spring Festival." Cao Yan straightened the fur coat on his body, which was a little unprepared. After nearly half a year of confrontation, Yuan Shao and Cao Wei were a little numb. The difference is that Yuan Shao is completely numb, but Cao is looking for an opportunity.

"Your lord, just came to report, and Yuan Shao's general Han Meng escorted food and fodder to Guandu." At this time, Cao Hong suddenly opened the curtain and came in to report.

"Oh?" Cao Yan was also overjoyed when he heard the words. The strategy formulated by Guo Jia earlier was a tug-of-war + to disturb Yuan Shao's grain road, but Yuan Shao will not inform you of the grain transportation all the time. You have to find out the news before you can send troops to rob. However, after all, this Tanma is not the Central Military Command. Even if he learned the news, he came back all the way to report, and then Cao Hen sent troops again. It took a lot of time to go, and many times he missed the fighter plane. So Cao was so excited when he heard the news.

"The messenger ordered Xu Huang to lead the headquarters to rob the grain. If you can bring it back, bring it back. If you can't bring it back, give me a fire!" Cao Qian ordered angrily, and the little pawn under the account hurried to pass the order without mentioning it. It's snowing!" The moment the pawn opened the curtain and removed it, Cao found that snowflakes began to fall from the sky. It's so good. Yuan Shao has no clothes and no food. Let me see how he will spend the winter!" Cao Shen can't wait for a heavy snow in the world now, and it's good to bury all the Yuan Shaojun across the Yellow River.

not to mention how Prime Minister Cao is YY, Liu Bei in Xuzhou City is also a little boring at this time. It's snowing!" Liu Bei looked at the snowflakes outside, but his heart was a little empty. Feng'er, let your father hug you!" At this time, Mrs. Mi came behind Liu Bei with her son who had just been eight months old. Liu Bei turned around and looked at his tiger-headed son, and couldn't help smiling. Unlike the smile in front of people before, Liu Bei now smiles very lovingly.

The habitual surname of history has been continued to some extent, and Liu Bei named his first child Liu Feng. When Zhao Feng learned about it, he felt indescribable in his heart. Husband, but do you think of the second generals? Mrs. Mi, who was good at observing words and colors, saw Liu Bei holding her son in her arms, but looked into the distance, and immediately understood that he was thinking about the two brothers.

"Yes!" Liu Bei also sighed softly. Since they worshipped in the counties more than ten years ago, the three of them have been inseparable for so many years. Now each of them is the head of a state, but it is rare to see each other again. After 18 years, just 18 years. When we don't fight again, I will leave everything to Feng'er and other young people to take care of. At that time, I will go back to my hometown in Zhuo County with my wife for a few years. Liu Bei held his son in his arms, as if talking to himself, and as if talking to Mrs. Mi.

"I don't know what happened to Bo Tao's Southern Expedition?" Liu Bei subconsciously asked himself. Naturally, Liu Bei did not expect Mrs. Mi to answer such a thing. In fact, just yesterday, he had just received Zhao Feng's military report. He knew that after he was fighting the Lujiang River, he was temporarily stationed in Wancheng because it was difficult to enter the army in winter. Bo Tao is indeed a great talent. Liu Bei said to himself silently in his heart. As for Zhao Feng's loyalty, to be honest, he didn't care much about it or worry about it.

At the same time, in Wancheng, Zhao Feng also looked at the growing snow and was secretly glad that he had ordered the construction of a city dock. The warm surname of the ancient marching tents is really bad, which is really incomparable to the big tents on the grassland. Especially in the north, if the army dares to be stationed in the tent, once the cold wave hits, it is not impossible to freeze to death. If it were in the south, even if the wind and snow were not as strong as the north, frostbite is still possible.

"I don't know how the snow in Xuzhou is. Do the two ladies miss me at home?" Zhao Feng also felt a little concerned when he remembered the two beautiful wives he had not seen for months. The meeting between him and Diao Chan was accidental. At first, he took her in more out of sympathy, and over time, he fell in love with her for a long time. As for Zhen Jiang, although he has not experienced much since he realized that he was together, whenever he recalled the first encounter in Pengcheng, he rushed to rescue outside Shouchun City, and talked to each other in the drunken fairy tower. Although he was a little hasty, he finally had a feeling of falling in love in a previous life. Fortunately, the two wives got along well with each other, so that they did not make his backyard catch fire. On the contrary, they enjoyed the blessings of everyone. Being able to meet them is also the most gratifying thing for Zhao Feng to come to this world.

"General, Lu Junhou asked to see you." At this moment, the voice of Hou Hao Zhao, his own guard, came from outside the door. Tell him to come in." Zhao Feng also hurried to let Lu Hao in. After the latter entered the door for a simple salute, he said straight, "General, according to your instructions, I have improved the Thunderbolt again. The range has now reached nearly 300 steps!"

"What kind of Thunderbolt car? This name is Cao Qian's call to fcream people. Let's call him a tholite!" Zhao Feng laughed and admired Prime Minister Cao's imagination. He forgot that this catapult was made by Liu Ye.

Since Lu Hao made the first catapult a month ago, Zhao Feng took a brief look at its structure and immediately understood the working principle. In his previous life, he had seen the structural schematics of two kinds of throwers, one is counterweight type and the other is winch type. The former is slightly simpler in structure, but the power and accurate surname are poor. The latter is more precise, so it is sharper, and can even adjust the range. Originally, I wanted to draw the drawings directly for Lu Hao to make, but I couldn't draw such complicated drawings with a brush. I saw the physical object and then improved it on this basis.

When he went out, he followed Lu Hao to the wilderness outside the city dock to take a look at this speculator initially designed by Liu Ye and improved by himself and Lu Hao. Zhao Feng felt that it was much better than the one at the beginning. Try to install it!" Zhao Feng ordered that the two soldiers shook the winch to press down a crossbar that looked like a big spoon, and pressed the hook on the crossbar to hook a longitudinally fixed hemp rope. Then they lifted a stone weighing more than 100 catties and put it in, and then loosened the moving hook. As a result, the whole crossbar was directly pulled up by the winch. More than a hundred pounds of stones flew out.

"Ban!" After a distance, the stone flew to the ground heavily, and the two pawns who had been prepared for a long time quickly pulled the rope to measure the distance. General, about 290 steps!" The measured soldier replied loudly. "

"Very good!" Zhao Feng was satisfied to reach this range. At the beginning, it was only about 200 steps. With dozens of steps away, you can basically guarantee that I can only hit you, but you can't hit me. Lu Hao, is there any way to continue to increase the range? Zhao Feng turned his head and asked Lu Hao.

"General, then we have to use something else to make a winch instead of bamboo." Lu Hao lowered his head and thought for a time. What is it?" Zhao Feng asked quickly.

"Brown cable, cowhide." Lu Hao thought for a little and came up with these two things. Brown cable and cowhide are easy to do. I will allocate the materials tomorrow. You lead people to work at night before the beginning of spring. The more the better!" Zhao Feng is also in a good mood. Only he can ensure that his throist's range is a hundred steps farther than that of Cao Qian, which is really cool.

"The villain understands!" After listening to the order, Lu Hao also retreated directly to the craftsmen who were ready to call his battalion to start work. Hao Zhao beside him couldn't understand this "high-tech" product, but he was also secretly shocked to see that it could throw the stone so far away.

"General, do you use this to attack the city?" Hao Zhao thought for a moment and found that once this thing was used in the battlefield, it was simply a big killer. More than that!" Zhao Feng was not surprised to hear what he said. If he didn't even have this knowledge, he would not be Hao Zhao.

"More than that?" Hao Zhao is a little difficult to understand. It can also be used to defend the city!" Zhao Feng continued to explain to him with a smile. Hao Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the words: if he used a catapult when defending the city, their condescending power would not only double.

"Hey hey, Wu Hou, Wu Hou, you are lucky to be the first to try the greatest invention of me and my Lao Zhao in the years!" After patting the catapults around him, Zhao Feng thought in his heart that after the beginning of spring, he used hundreds of such trebumiters to attack Sun Quan, and the smile on his face became more and more silvery, which made Hao Zhao feel guilty.

Lu Hao's speed is not slow. After another month, nearly a hundred catapults have been made at night. On this day, under the leadership of Zhao Feng, except for Zhang Liao and Li Tong, who were stationed in Ruxukou, all the other generals came to the wilderness with him to see the power of this latest trenomer. On the one hand, in order to keep it secret, and on the other hand, it was still improving. Zhao Feng has never told them.

"Fand!" With the wave of the small red flag in Lu Hao's hand, who was in charge of command, a hundred catapults were launched in four rows in the wilderness. The stones the size of grinding discs were thrown out one after another and smashed 300 steps away. For a moment, the sound of "Bang Bang" was loud, and the dust was flying.

"How about it?" Zhao Feng turned his head with a smile and asked Wei Yan and others, but he saw that they had been stunned and speechless for a long time. Awesome!" After a long time, Gao Lan was the first to react and struggled to spit out two words.

"With this baby, it's just around the corner!" Wei Yan came to his senses and his confidence immediately skyrocketed. Zhao Feng knew that he was too optimistic, but he didn't have to spoil everyone's fun at this time, did he? After seeing the power of the threte, the already hungry and thirsty generals can't wait for spring to come immediately, so that they can send troops to Eastern Wu.

However, it still takes day by day. The weather seems to be a little warmer on this day. Zhao Feng is thinking about when he can march. At this time, Hao Zhao came into the door to report: "General, there is a Confucian outside the door asking for a meeting, saying that he can help the general sweep the Eastern Wu!" After saying that, Hao Zhao is also a little disdainful. These days, since Zhao Feng sat in Lujiang, such people have almost every day, and most of them are deceived.

"Have you ever told your name?" Zhao Feng put down the book in his hand and asked.

"He said he was Xiangyang Longguang." Hao Zhao replied honestly.)

"Long Guang?" Zhao Feng said the name in surprise, and suddenly a flash in his mind: Is it him?
