Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Lu Bu's expedition this time was regarded as a secret march, and all the court officials only knew that Lu Bu was recruiting troops and horses for the expedition recently, and there was a good reason for it.

If you want to assassinate the emperor, you can't do it without a fight.

But it was the middle of winter, and everyone thought that Lu Bu would send troops after the weather got warmer. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, 10,000 troops had assembled outside Chang'an City.

As for who was leading the army, everyone thought it was Hua Xiong. With Lu Bu's current status, there was no need or reason to go to the front line to kill the enemy.

As for not being able to see Lu Bu, everyone is used to it. This Marquis Wen has a unique hobby. He likes to take the two of them wandering around the city. It is normal not to see him in the court. Maybe one day he will be able to see it when he goes out to buy vegetables. When Lu Bu was sitting on the side of the street holding a teapot, he smiled and looked at you.

Lu Bu actually didn't care too much about how the courtiers reacted. Now that the court's work efficiency has been restored, there is no need for Lu Bu to watch day and night.

But now in addition to soldiers, horses and food, what is more important is the position of the enemy.

"I have drawn more than a dozen maps to ask. What the envoy said should be true. Huchu Spring is in Meiji, not in Xihe County or Shangjun, but in Meiji. This place is too far away, thousands of miles away. Yao, and this was obtained a few months ago, my lord, do you want to wait a little longer for our army to find out the location of Nahuchu Spring before dispatching troops?" Guo Jia pointed to the location of Meiji on the map, looked at Lu Bu and said.

Meiji is regarded as a state of Xihe County, and it was also the place where the imperial court entrusted the Southern Huns to recuperate. Later, it gradually became the royal court of the Southern Huns. Before the Zhongping Year, the Southern Huns were still very honest, but since the Zhongping Year, with the The rebellion, the decline of the national strength of the Han Dynasty, and the Southern Huns gradually became restless.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, Xiutu joined forces with all cholera states, and Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Shangjun, and Wuyuan were successively occupied by him. In the following year, Xing Ji, the prefect of Xihe County, was killed first, and Xiutu attacked and killed the governor of Bingzhou at that time. Zhang Yi.

Not long after that, Lu Bu was taken to Luoyang by the newly appointed governor of Bingzhou, Ding Yuan. Instead of being angry, new and old hatred broke out together.

Although this new enmity was filled by Lu Bu on his own initiative, which is a bit far-fetched, but the old enmity is real. If Ding Yuan didn't care about these things at the time, even if Lu Bu could not destroy the Southern Huns at that time, Xiu Tu Ge It could be done, but the matter has been dragged on until now.

Hu Chuquan's assassination intention gave Lu Bu a good excuse to send troops.

Sending troops now will actually have an unexpected effect. The premise is that Huchuquan is still in Meiji. Even if the Xiongnu envoy did not lie, it is already a few months ago. Lu Bu may be caught in the air, so Guo Jia It is not recommended to leave immediately, or in other words, it is not recommended that Lu Bu go out in person.

Lu Bu carefully compared the map, and occasionally added a few strokes. He was not too familiar with the terrain of the Hetao Plain, but he had been to most of the places. With his photographic memory, he could basically describe the map in more detail.

"Opportunity!" Lu Bu shook his head. Guo Jia was right, but he would miss a lot of good opportunities after making decisions. It was our army who flew into the air, returned without success, and consumed more food and grass, the enemy army could not have been hiding in ambushes."

Lu Bu decided to call Huchuquan because of Liu Yu's affairs. He wanted to use this to contain Yuan Shao, so that Gongsun Zan would not lose too quickly. At the same time, he was preparing for the battle for the state. It was a temporary decision. Even if Huchuquan had this idea at the beginning Well, the Huns envoys have been in Chang'an for several months, and it is impossible for the ambush soldiers to lie there all the time. If Hu Chuquan has the ability to calculate this, then Lu Bu can only be convinced that he was defeated by him.

Lu Bu went deep alone this time, so surprise is very important. It is not impossible to crush them step by step, but it is basically equivalent to a large-scale military operation. It is difficult not to be noticed by the princes. At that time, Lu Bu wants to take Xiabingzhou is not so easy.

Guo Jia naturally knew this truth, but it was not appropriate for Lu Bu to take the risk himself.

Lu Bu didn't say anything else, and asked Guo Jia and Jia Xu to be responsible for the allocation and cooperation of food and grass in the rear. Xu Rong continued to sit in Guanzhong when Lu Bu went out to fight. The gentry rebelled.

Lu Bu would like to have one, but the remaining gentry in Guanzhong may not be able to make a fortune, so compared to the previous expedition against Yuan Shu, the rear of Lu Bu's expedition is relatively more stable this time.

However, the way Lu Bu considered issues and made decisions surprised Guo Jia a bit. Lu Bu clearly acted according to the worst outcome. If the worst outcome can be tolerated, then troops can be dispatched. This kind of decision-making is really fast.

Sometimes the capture of fighters depends on the decision at that moment. Obviously, although Lu Bu's decision to go out is temporary, it is not a mindless decision, and he has his basis.

"Since my lord has plans, Jia won't say more, I just hope my lord will not be careless." Guo Jia saluted Lu Bu.

"Don't worry about Feng Xiao." Lu Bu patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and said, "I have a new Lin'er, and I still have a baby waiting to see me. How could I take risks so easily? Seeing that someone can stop me, it's strange that I have to be timid now that I have enough soldiers and food."

Lu Bu is obviously different from other monarchs. Thinking about Lu Bu's family history, Guo Jia also has to admit that Lu Bu has enough confidence to do so.

"Okay, Ma Jun has a batch of new crossbows for me to see. Would you like to go with me?" Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu and Guo Jia, and smiled.

Jia Xu tightened his cloak, shook his head, it was too cold, he didn't want to go out unless necessary.

Guo Jia also shook his head. Now we have to start preparing for Lu Bu's conquest of Meiji. Tens of thousands of people don't seem to be many, but Shang County and Xihe County are already in the territory of the other party. If Lu Bu wants to make a surprise attack, he can only go extravagantly. Ze, and then crossed nearly 700 miles of no-man's land, heading straight for Meiji.

The distance of 700 miles is a blank area for supplies. Even the cavalry cannot go out in a short time. Even some small tribes along the way can supply supplies, but there are too many uncertainties, so Guo Jia is responsible for the supplies. There is a lot of pressure, but I don't have time to see some new crossbows with Lu Bu.

Seeing this, Lu Bu didn't force it. There were still two days before the dispatch of troops, Hua Xiong and Zhang Xiu were already in position, and the troops could be dispatched after the first batch of grain and grass arrived at the designated location.

After leaving the government office, only Yang Xiu came out with Lu Bu. He wanted to see what Lu Bu valued. He went straight to the school yard outside the west city. Ma Jun and his craftsmen were assembling a batch of crossbows. Seeing Lu Bu approaching, he quickly stepped forward to salute: "See...see..."

Lu Bu waved his hand to stop the other party from speaking, and Yang Xiu who was beside him skillfully took out a bamboo pole and handed it to Ma Jun, asking him to write on the ground.

"Please take a look, my lord." Ma Jun asked a craftsman to hand over the assembled crossbow to Lu Bu and said, "This crossbow is assembled by slots, and can be disassembled when not in war, so it is easy to carry."

Lu Bu looked at the crossbow in his hand, then at the other crossbows that hadn't been installed, tried to dismantle one, then assembled it again, smiled and said to Ma Jun, "In this way, the range may not be enough, right? .”

"No." Ma Jun shook his head and said, "The range of this crossbow is comparable to that of the three-stone rhubarb crossbow!"

"Three stones!?" Lu Bu was a little startled. The strongest rhubarb crossbow is the ten-stone crossbow, which is already a bed crossbow or ballista. This kind of assembled crossbow is not enough in terms of weight or bow arm, but its range can be comparable to that of the three-stone crossbow?

To pull the three-stone crossbow, at least four hundred catties (approximately equivalent to the current ninety kilograms) of strength is required, which is not something ordinary materials can bear.

Lu Bu looked at the crossbow in his hand, but saw that the bow strings on it were intricate and not one.

"My lord, you can try it!" Ma Jun handed a crossbow to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu took the crossbow and put it on the bowstring, but after he started it, he realized that it was quite easy. At most one stone of strength can be used to improve it. With this kind of strength, ordinary soldiers can easily pull it away!

Without asking Ma Jun, Lu Bu looked into the distance, estimated the distance, and then moved towards an archery target to pull the trigger.

"Boom~"

Under Lu Bu's slightly surprised eyes, the crossbow arrow flew over a hundred steps and shot at the target. Because Lu Bu was not familiar with the arrow path of this crossbow, the arrow missed the target, but its power was just as Ma Jun said, Comparable to the three stone crossbow.

"How?" Lu Bu asked, looking at Ma Jun.

"Thanks to the alien craftsmen brought by the lord, they can save a lot of effort after combining the wheel sets with special means. It is precisely through this that I use inferior materials to make a three-stone crossbow. A crossbow, and this crossbow can fire two arrows in a row." Ma Jun laughed.

Lu Bu didn't care too much about the wheel set, but crossbows that can fire continuously are rare, so he immediately motioned for Ma Jun to show him.

Ma Jun immediately pressed the two crossbow arrows into the groove, then pulled the bowstring to the tail of the upper crossbow arrow, and then aimed at the target to pull the trigger, and an arrow flew past the target, many people couldn't help laughing out loud, Lu Bu frowned and watched as the arrow was shot, and the horse quickly pulled a bowstring. The bowstring was pulled out by a copper buckle, and the crossbow arrow that had been pressed into the groove jumped out, just in time to be wound, and then shot again. Successfully hit the target.

"Okay!" Lu Bu couldn't help stroking his palms and said, "How many crossbows are there now?"

"Only seventeen were made, and I felt that we should be able to shoot more arrows in succession, so we only made a few and never made a large-scale production." Ma Jun apologized.

"It's already great, keep doing it, it's best when I come back, I can see three consecutive crossbows and even more." Lu Bu laughed.

"Here!"
