Chapter 278

When Cheng Yu saw the range of the crossbow, his heart sank.

On the battlefield, if the tiger and leopard cavalry encounter such a crossbow, once the tiger and leopard cavalry can't disperse quickly, it will be set as a sieve.

Cheng Yu is not only a counsellor and a minister, but also a military general.

In Cheng Yu's mind, he had already predicted that if the rhubarb crossbow cooperated with the short-range shooting of the bow and arrow, it would be enough to make the tiger and leopard ride inaccessible. Even tiger and leopard riders can't get close, let alone other soldiers. Even in Cheng Yu's opinion, even the shield could not resist the damage of the crossbow, which was enough to shoot through the shield.

Even if you can't shoot through the shield, the powerful impact force is enough to knock the shield upside down and destroy the formation of the shield soldiers.

Such a bow and crossbow soldier is so cruel that it is enough to frighten the enemy.

The only drawback is that it is impossible to forge large quantities of crossbows and arrows, because they are too expensive and consume too much financial and material resources. In addition, the flexibility of rhubarb anger is also slightly insufficient.

Fortunately, rhubarb anger has some shortcomings, otherwise it is really hard to deal with.

When Zhang Zhao saw it, his heart cooled.

Seeing the cavalry and the catapult before, the shocking scene had already made Zhang Zhao's heart beat. Now seeing Liu Xiu's big yellow crossbow, he was scared out of his wits.

It's terrible. Such weapons are terrible. It's impossible for human beings to resist them.

If Jiangdong and Jingzhou are fighting, how can they resist such weapons?

For a moment, Zhang Zhao was frightened.

Zhang Zhao felt that it was absolutely right to come to Jingzhou to celebrate Liu's cultivation. Unexpectedly, Jingzhou still had such weapons. After returning to Wu County, we must talk to Sun Quan well and let Sun Quan prepare early, otherwise we will suffer a great loss in the battlefield, and it is imperative to unite with Cao Cao.

At the foot of the hill, Huang Zhong saw that a round of shooting had been completed. He roared and waved and said, "stop the battle!"

At the command, the soldiers stood up with the rhubarb crossbow on their shoulders, while the other soldiers quickly picked up the crossbow. Every crossbow of the rhubarb crossbow costs a lot. It is impossible to use it and discard it. It must be recycled.

Liu Xiu looked at the people on the hill. At this time, they were already complicated.

Knowing that he had achieved his goal, Liu Xiu said with a smile, "ladies and gentlemen, this inspection of the soldiers is over here. Now, come back to the city with me. This evening, I'll hold a banquet in the prefecture for you to practice. You can leave by yourself tomorrow morning. "

They nodded silently, then followed Liu Xiu back to the city without saying a word.

At night, the lights of the Prefecture are bright.

In the hall, Liu xiugao sits on the throne.

At this time, Liu Xiu toasted Zhuge Liang, Cheng Yu, Zhang Zhao and others. It's just that after the day, no matter what, the atmosphere is always too hot to reach the happy scene, because everyone is worried.

After a celebration, they left.

In the hall, only Liu Xiu and his generals were left.

Liu Xiu's face was not drunk at all. He ordered his attendants to take away the drink and serve tea. He looked at the people under his command and said in a deep voice: "after this inspection of the soldiers, I expect that they will be able to frighten Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and even make Cao Cao afraid. For us, there is a time for adjustment. In the next six months, we must adjust the counties in Jingzhou to completely control them. "

Kuai Yue said: "Lord, I'm afraid that if the officials of Jingzhou counties want to be transferred, they will affect the whole body. Such a big move must be cautious. "

Yi Ji then said: "if I also agree with the different degrees, I should think twice before I act. In particular, the Lord just took charge of Jingzhou, and now is the time to seek stability and transition. No mistakes can be made. Otherwise, one step is wrong and you lose everything. "

Liu Xiuse said: "to adjust on the basis of stability is fundamental, which is also my principle and bottom line. However, the rebellion of Wuling county and Nanjun county made me realize that if there is no adjustment, if there is any mistake in the future, I am afraid that the counties in Jingzhou will turn over. Therefore, we must make certain adjustments to completely control the counties. "

"Newspaper!"

Suddenly, outside the hall, a servant quickly came in and reported: "your honor, Yizhou envoy Fazheng and Zhang Ren asked to see you."

"Please

Liu Xiu nodded and ordered him to go down. Immediately, Liu xiudao said: "after you go back, you will think about the things mentioned just now, and we will discuss them later. All right, let's go back. "

"No!"

They all got up and left.

In the hall, it was quiet.

After everyone left, Fazheng and Zhang Ren strode in.

"I've met Liu Jingzhou!"

FA Zheng and Zhang Ren bowed at the same time.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "ladies and gentlemen, please sit down!"

Fazheng and Zhang Yiren sat down on the right and left. Fazheng did not go around the circle and said straight to the point: "Liu Jingzhou, this time, is an alliance with Liu Jingzhou on behalf of the Lord."Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Xiaozhi, how can Yizhou and Jingzhou form an alliance?" For this matter, it was beyond Liu Xiu's expectation.

I didn't expect that Liu Zhang of Yizhou would propose an alliance, which is really surprising.

"To form an ally is naturally to keep watch and help each other, attack and defend together."

Fazheng smiles and puts forward his own opinions.

After a pause, Fazheng continued: "Yizhou borders Jingzhou. If Jingzhou is threatened, my lord Liu Yizhou is willing to help. Similarly, if Yizhou is threatened and attacked, I hope Liu Jingzhou can send troops to help. This is the alliance between the two sides. "

When Liu Xiu heard the speech, his mind became active.

Attack and defense help!

This is a good reason and a good way to enter Yizhou.

If Yizhou is attacked, Liu Xiu can enter Yizhou with a little effort. Once the army enters Yizhou, there will be a chance to plan Yizhou, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In Liu Xiu's mind, he had already figured it out in an instant.

The smile on his face became stronger and stronger, and he said with a smile: "this is a very good proposal. Xiaozhi, you also know that Jingzhou is in a position of four wars. If you make an alliance with Jingzhou, I'm afraid Yizhou will suffer even more. "

FA Zhengdao said: "Liu Jingzhou has strong strength. I believe that it is easy for Liu Jingzhou to defend Jingzhou. But to make an alliance with Jingzhou, my Lord has another request. "

"What request?" Liu Xiu asked.

Fazheng said: "I was shocked to see Liu Jingzhou's crossbow and catapult today. If Yizhou had such weapons, it would be easier to garrison the city. So I hope that I can buy the design drawings of Liu Jingzhou's catapult and rhubarb crossbow, and then take them back to make them, so as to enhance Yizhou's defensive ability. "

Liu Xiu's mind sank when he made this request.

Sure enough, there is a purpose!

Make an alliance first, then make your own demands.

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Xiaozhi, you are Liu Yizhou's think tank. You should understand the value of rhubarb crossbow and catapult. Can I easily sell such strategic weapons? "

Fazheng looked calm and didn't feel embarrassed. He said with a smile, "Liu Jingzhou's words are naturally reasonable, and I agree with them very much. I just think that any item can be measured by price. There is always a certain exchange standard. It just depends on what conditions the other party needs. So please ask Liu Jingzhou to put forward conditions, and Yizhou is willing to prepare. "

Liu Xiu stares at FA Zheng and suddenly says, "Mr. Xiaozhi, if I ask Liu Yizhou to offer you in exchange, will Liu Yizhou agree?"

Brush!

Fazheng's face suddenly changed.

Looking at Liu Xiu, there was a look of examination.

Zhang Ren zhengse said: "Liu Jingzhou, please be careful!"

FA Zheng shook his head to Zhang Ren, then looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Jingzhou is joking. FA Zheng is a scholar. He can't lift his shoulder or hand. He is a weak scholar. It's not worthwhile for Liu Jingzhou to offer such a condition."

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "General Zhang, don't be angry. Just as Xiaozhi said, I'm just joking. Don't take it seriously."

Fazheng continued: "Liu Jingzhou, on behalf of my Lord, I sincerely buy the drawings of the rhubarb crossbow and catapult, so I hope Liu Jingzhou can make an offer for negotiation. Moreover, as an ally, Yizhou's garrison capability is enhanced, which is also beneficial to Liu Jingzhou, isn't it? "

Liu Xiu asked, "Xiaozhi, does Liu Yizhou really want to buy it?"

"Yes

Fazheng nodded. If Yizhou is equipped with such weapons. In the future, it will be of great benefit to deal with Zhang Lu or the enemy who attacked Yizhou.

So, FA is trying to buy it.

Liu Xiu nodded heavily and said: "since Mr. Xiaozhi said, I'll give Mr. Xiaozhi a production drawing."

Fazheng said happily, "what are the conditions?"

Liu Xiu big sleeve a whisk, heroic said: "look at the filial piety straight of the share, I give free."
