Three Kingdoms: Becoming Cao Cao's Chief Adviser at the Start

Chapter 169 Repel Soochow Wu and annex Lu Bu's forces

In the Battle of Chibi in Jingzhou, the Eastern Wu was repelled in less than a week, and the forces of Lu Bu were wiped out.

After Cao Jun regained Jingzhou, he also gained several generals.

Gao Shun, Lü Bu's old subordinate, brought the trapped camp to surrender, Jingzhou Huang Zhong and Wei Yan surrendered, Lingling Admiral Xing Daorong, and the same generals from Soochow.

Almost half of Jiangdong's talents followed Sun Ce to defect.

Several veterans of Eastern Wu, as well as advisors Lu Su and Zhou Yu.

But now that the war is over, all the major forces in the world should rest and develop agriculture to accumulate grain and accumulate wealth.

Now there are only four powers left in the world!

Cao Cao was the first to occupy the four counties of the Central Plains and the northern kingdom. Now, he has a strong army and a strong army.

Soochow Wu occupied the land of the Jiangdong generation and the two prefectures. Now it is facing a big defeat. Sun Ce has taken away half of its talents and has to rest. It is impossible to send troops to fight against Cao Cao in a short time.

Yizhou Liu Zhang led Yizhou, but the Shu land had complicated forces, including Nanban Meng Huo, and Zhang Lu who opposed Liu Zhang. These reasons made it impossible for them to take care of themselves.

Because of this, even in the battle of Chibi, the shadow of Yizhou could not be seen, and most of them were also in civil strife.

Xiliang Ma Teng led Liangzhou. Although the territory was wide, it bordered Shu and had many frictions with Liu Zhang. However, after Zhang Lu turned against him, he became friendly with Ma Chao.

Under the instruction of Cao Yang, Sun Ce led the old generals to guard the Jingzhou fortress, while Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Taishi Ci were dispatched to the empty Sizhou to prevent the attack of Xiliang.

Although the situation seems to be clear now, the world is still complicated.

But now after the war, the various princes have to rest and issue certificates, and it is obviously quieter. At least for a while, it is impossible for a war to break out.

Chen Liu, many soldiers and soldiers have returned at this moment, the same is true of Cao Yang and others.

It's only been a period of time that Chen Liuwei has obviously changed his appearance. For Cao Yang, this place can also be counted as his hometown.

At this moment, in front of him is the luxurious mansion he has not returned for a long time.

Cao Yang still hasn't changed, but this time there is a valiant and graceful woman on his side.

For him, Sun Shangxiang is still a little young now, although in ancient times, at the age of twenty-eight, at the age of sixteen, he could find a good family to marry.

However, in Cao Yang's view, although Sun Shangxiang today has a bit of a female heroine, but when she gets close to Cao Yang, her aura will disappear, and she will look like a little bird.

That girl is not pregnant, and now Sun Shangxiang is just at the age of wanting to get into trouble, looking at the fiancé on one side makes her heart tremble, and the deer rush around.

But just like this, Sun Shangxiang's figure can be said to have begun to take shape, and there is obviously room for development after that.

In contrast, Cao Yang's thoughts are actually not as complicated as Sun Shangxiang's.

Even if he doesn't do anything, he can occasionally see Sun Shangxiang's face red and smirking, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

But this is only the side of her in front of Cao Yang, if she were to dance the sword, it would be indescribably arrogant.

The thousand trouble-solving soldiers obeyed Sun Shangxiang's orders, and when others saw it, they would call out a female general.

"Shangxiang, go in. 35

Cao Yang took Sun Shangxiang's tender little hand and walked towards the mansion.

Hearing Cao Yang's gentle voice, Sun Shangxiang followed him in, letting Cao Yang hold her jade hand without any discomfort and a little enjoyment.

If it was in Jiangdong, others would not dare to approach her even within three feet, and only when facing Cao Yang could Sun Shangxiang be able to show such a scene of being a little bird.

She was stunned before she walked in. Although she was just a concubine, he didn't care about it.

It is normal to have three wives and six concubines now, but after entering with Cao Yang, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help being stunned when she saw the scenery in the courtyard.

Several women of national beauty and heavenly fragrance were frolicking in this courtyard, and these women were as beautiful as jade in the book.

As if stepping out of the picture scroll, this can't help but make Sun Shangxiang feel a little ashamed.

Cao Yang also showed a smile when he looked at the girls.

These people have their own merits, Diaochan is like a peerless dancer, and there is a charm in all of their behaviors.

And that Cai Yan was a talented and beautiful woman, sitting there quietly, flipping through the scrolls.

Zhang Ning's characteristics are even more obvious. Her holy temperament seems to be innate.

Seemingly aware of Cao Yang's return, these beauties all turned their eyes and showed a hint of joy.

The girls called out in unison.

"Husband, you are back, 々!

Even Cao Yang could not help but pretended to be calm and coughed.

"Um."

Looking at Sun Shangxiang with a hint of provocation between the eyebrows on one side, all the girls showed a hint of surprise.

Cai Yan said with a light smile.

"My husband brought back such a young sister for us.""

"Won't your husband introduce us to you?"

Cao Yang nodded, but didn't wait for him to speak.

Sun Shangxiang, who was on one side, even took the initiative to introduce herself.

"Jiangdong Sun, Sun Ren and Sun Shangxiang have met all the sisters.

As soon as this statement came out, Cai Yan showed a hint of surprise.

"I heard that Jiangdong Sun Ren and Sun Shangxiang can be both literary and martial, and Zhao Ji has admired her sister for a long time!"

But looking at Sun Ren's well-behaved appearance, Cai Yan instantly accepted this new sister.

Soon Sun Shangxiang facilitated them to become one, and seeing this harmonious side, Cao Yang couldn't help feeling gratified.

This time, Sun Ce married his little sister and gave it to Cao Yang along with the thousand trouble-solving soldiers.

The first leader of the trouble-relieving soldiers was Sun Shangxiang, and the second Sun Ce gave it to Cao Yang with no heartache on the grounds of protecting Sun Shangxiang and Cao Yang.

Now there is one more person in command of the Xiefan Bing, which means that the Xiefan Bing has now become his personal guard.

Now that it has just entered the early autumn, the leaves in the courtyard are all slightly yellowed, and Cao Yang moved his muscles and bones a little, so he can rest peacefully for a few days.

In the past few days, the princes of the world will definitely not have any changes, and the secret guard has also been handed over to Guo Jia to take care of them.

Cao Yang let out a sigh of relief. This period of time was probably the most comfortable period.

After waiting for three months, once the autumn harvest is over, the world will inevitably be in turmoil again.

Take the time to enjoy it during this time.

Then Cao Yang laughed to himself.

"After all, I've been fighting for a long time, so I can't enjoy it?

Musical warning!

The next day, Cao Yang didn't even have a day to enjoy peacefully, so Cao Cao sent someone to summon him.

However, this is normal. Although Zhuge Liang, who has just joined, has the ability, how could he trust Cao Cao with his suspicious nature, so he naturally has to summon Cao Yang.

But within a moment, Cao Yang came to the Military Aircraft Council.

Not only Cao Yang, but also other advisors in Chenliu came one after another.

Now that there is no war, what needs to be discussed is the development of internal affairs.

Cao Cao looked at everyone below and said in a deep voice.

"To call you here today is an arrangement for the states.

"Now that the war is over, we should take a year off, and accumulate a lot."

"If you have any opinions, feel free to put them forward."

As soon as he finished speaking, the generals below whispered to each other.

Xi Zhicai, who was mainly in charge of Cao Jun's internal affairs, also frowned slightly.

"Zhicai believes that our internal policy has become perfect since the initial establishment of the military division.

"Although the war has consumed a lot of grain and grass, and the price of sweet potatoes and grains has risen, the output of our states will drop back in just a moment.

"As long as each state elects the farm system, to win the two places in Jingzhou now only needs to order the craftsmen to make a large number of curved ploughs. 99

At this moment, Xi Zhicai revealed a smile.

"And other parts of Soochow, I am afraid that the price of grain will not fall for a while.

Cao Yang also nodded, now it is really not appropriate to act rashly in terms of internal affairs, it is already a very perfect system for them.

"That's right, I applaud the comrade's approach."

"I think so too. 35

Everyone else nodded, and even Zhuge Liang was amazed at Cao Jun's internal affairs system.

When Cao Cao saw everyone nodding, there was nothing else to say, and he said directly and loudly.

"In this case, what other areas do you think we should improve?

As soon as these words came out, everyone started to discuss again.

And Zhuge Liang looked at the crowd with bright eyes, he stood up and said.

"If you want to do good work, you must first sharpen your tools. I think we should improve our weapons!

As soon as this statement came out, everyone showed shock.

What does Zhuge Liang mean, how can ordinary weapons be so well transformed?

Even Cao Yang was curious about what Kong Ming was going to do.

I saw Zhuge Liang bow and say lightly.

"I have seen General Qu Yi in the army have an elite soldier called Xian Deng dead.35

"These soldiers are all equipped with crossbow arrows, although the lethality of the crossbow arrow is fast and the range and accuracy are far higher than the bow and arrow, but the crossbow arrow has a fatal flaw.

66` The reloading time is too long, and the arrows are too small. "

Everyone also nodded, which is also the reason why the use of crossbow arrows will be far lower than that of bows and arrows in the war.

It is precisely because the reloading time of the crossbow arrow is too long that it is difficult to maintain a long-term battle.

For these common weapons, everyone is still very clear.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang let out a faint smile.

"I have studied the crossbow in the mountains. Just yesterday, I successfully developed a repeating crossbow, and its name is the Zhuge Crossbow."

"Take iron as the arrow, the arrow is eight inches long, and one crossbow will strike ten arrows.

As soon as these words came out, all the people present were shocked and shot ten arrows!

This is too terrifying, the conventional crossbow is a single arrow, and it needs complicated reloading after firing.

And this crossbow ten arrows is simply too terrifying.

Cao Cao laughed even more.

"Is this true?

"If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that all the soldiers will be ready for crossbow and invincible?

Just hearing Zhuge Liang's description, you can know the power of this thing.

But this time Cao Yang said with a light smile.

"This thing should also have a lot of drawbacks, right? 95

"Ordinary crossbow arrows are difficult to refill because of the addition of arrow feathers, so Kong Ming used iron as the arrow to indicate that the arrow feathers were discarded.

"And if there are no arrow feathers, the range of the bow and crossbow will be greatly reduced."

"And one crossbow ten arrows, I am afraid it is extremely difficult to make. 99

Cao Yang's words were like cold water poured on everyone.

According to what the military advisor said, since the Zhuge Crossbow could not be mass-produced, wouldn't it have no effect.

On one side, Zhuge Liang was extremely shocked, looking at Cao Yang with a hint of admiration.

"Have military advisors also studied crossbows?"

With just a few words, the drawbacks of Zhuge Liannu will be said, and the strategist is still the strategist (Qian Zhao's).

Cao Yang said indifferently.

"Never studied, but can be familiar with the structure. 35

"To tell you the truth, the Quyuan Plough was made by me.

As soon as this statement came out, Zhuge Liang completely admired it, and the Quyuan plow can be said to be the root of Cao Jun's forage.

If there were no curved ploughs, the development of the field system would never have been so fast.

Cao Yang continued.

"Since Kongming mentioned the dead men of Xian Deng earlier, then the effect of this Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is simply tailor-made for him. 35

"Moreover, the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is expensive to manufacture, and it is not unacceptable if it is only manufactured for the eight hundred Xian Deng dead men. 39

"The first to climb the dead is good at Qiang fighting, and the requirements for the range are not high."

"If the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow can be made for all the eight hundred Xian Deng, the Xian Deng dead men will become one of the strongest elite troops of the Han."5

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed a shocking color, and they all calmed down.

Although it cannot be mass-produced, it can still be done with only 800 sets.

Cao Cao said even more excitedly.

"Counselor, Kong Ming, how wonderful!

If it is true that all those who died in the first place wear the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, I am afraid it will be faster than falling into the camp.

Originally, the first-class dead warriors were top-level elite soldiers. With the addition of the Qiang tactics and Qiang fighting, these eight hundred first-class dead warriors would probably have no natural enemy that could restrain them.

Cao Cao showed boundless anticipation just by hearing what the two said.

As long as the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow comes out, why is there still an invincible enemy?

Cao Cao waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Military resources can be moved at will, as long as eight hundred Zhuge crossbows can be created!"

Zhuge Liang on one side showed a smile.

"Thank you, my lord, sergeant!
