When Zhang Xun heard this, his face was full of smiles, and he stepped forward and said, "Thank you, General." ”

After Cao's army entered the city, the chaos in the city was gradually pacified, and the soldiers saw that Cao's army surrendered in addition to fleeing in panic, and there were few resisters.

Looking at the prosperity of the palace, Cao Cao was also secretly speechless, which showed that Yuan Shu had put a lot of effort into the palace.

"Are you willing to take refuge in Benhou?" Cao Cao set his sights on Yan Xiang, for talented people, Cao Cao is not stingy to use, such as Xi Ce, who was originally a scholar from a poor family, but he was reused by Cao Cao, and he had also heard of Yan Xiang's name, as long as he could get Yan Xiang's refuge, it would be extremely beneficial for Cao Jun to occupy Shouchun.

"If you are a courtier of the Zhong family, how can you take refuge in the traitor?" Yan Xiang snorted coldly.

Cao Cao laughed and said: "What kind of courtier of the Zhong family, it's just Yuan Shu deceiving himself, and now that Shouchun has been broken, do you want to die with Yuan Highway?" ”

Yan Xiang scolded more than once, and even scolded Zhang Xun with blood.

Cao Cao snorted coldly: "The rebellious ministers and thieves dare to bark in front of the marquis, come and behead Yan Xiang to show the public, and hang the head at the city gate." ”

Yuan Shu, who woke up slowly, saw this scene and said in a weak voice: "Meng De, you and I met in the past, and I hope to be kind to Yan Xiang." ”

"The minister swears not to surrender, and the saint must not beg for mercy from the traitor for the sake of the minister." Yan Xiang said.

"Come on, give Yan Situ a decent way to die and bury him." Cao Cao saw Yan Xiang's expression of firmness and ordered.

Although Yan Xiang was executed, Cao Cao still had respect for Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu was Yan Xiang's choice, in contrast, Zhang Xun, who secretly took refuge in Cao Jun, but scolded Yuan Shu, it seems a little unkind, like Zhang Xun, today because of Yuan Shu's weakness and defection to Cao Jun, he will face the same situation in the future, and will betray Cao Jun, but Zhang Xun has merit to Cao Jun after all, and Zhang Xun has a high prestige in Yuan Shu's army, after Cao Cao appeased, he ordered Zhang Xun to prepare the soldiers and horses in the city.

Yuan Shu was also moved in his heart, but he didn't expect that among the courtiers of the Zhong family, only Yan Xiang was so loyal, and it was ridiculous that he trusted Zhang Xun in the past.

"Back then, the highway was also the prince of the crusade against the traitor Dong Zhuo, the fourth and third duke of the Yuan family, but he claimed to be the son of heaven in Shouchun, and he was worthy of the ancestors of the Yuan family."

Yuan Shu laughed and said: "Meng De, when did you become a righteous gentleman, if you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect, how can I be afraid." ”

Then he lowered his voice and said: "The one that Meng De has planned, the jade seal, but you can't get the jade seal, haha......"

Without waiting for Cao Cao to ask, Yuan Shu spit out another mouthful of blood and slowly fell to the ground, Xu Chu stepped forward and saw that Yuan Shu was already dead of anger.

"The holy position, how can you covet it." Cao Cao sighed.

"My lord, General Xiahou found more than 100 bed crossbows in the city." The herald stepped forward excitedly.

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Miaocai is really the blessed general of Benhou." "Breaking Shouchun, Cao Cao wants nothing more than the bed crossbow, after having the bed crossbow, the strength of the army can be greatly improved, his Japanese soldiers in Xuzhou to break it is easier, and the Huaxiong of the Pei Guo Department, Cao Cao will not let go, on the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep.

After stabilizing the situation in Shouchun, Cao Cao left Xiahou Yuan to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard Shouchun, facing Jingzhou on the one hand, Yuan Shu after all openly called the Son of Heaven, after breaking Yuan Shu, the benefits obtained were also beyond imagination, and the strong Zhong family also became a thing of the past.

Liu Biao was overjoyed when he learned this, he cared most about the jade seal in Yuan Shu's hand, as long as the jade seal was in hand, why not order the princes, the method of making bed crossbows, he also knew that it was impossible to get it from Cao Cao, after all, Cao Cao and Jingzhou had a deep grudge.

"Is there a whereabouts of the jade seal?" Liu Biao set his sights on Xun You.

"Yuan Shu refused to reveal where he put the jade seal until he died, and the Marquis of Shanyang did not get the jade seal." Xun Yu arched his hand.

"It's just an excuse from the Marquis of Shanyang, isn't it that the Marquis of Shanyang wants to emulate Yuan Shu?" Kuai Yue snorted coldly.

Xun You arched his hand with a calm expression: "In the past, Dong Zhuo was in trouble, Shanyang Hou Xing soldiers to crusade against the rebels, Yuan Shu was vainly called the Son of Heaven in Shouchun, and the Shanyang Hou also personally commanded the army to recruit, and now the Shanyang Hou has broken the traitor Yuan Shu, such a loyal courtier, Lord Kuai said so, isn't it chilling for the people of the world." ”

Kuai Liang stepped forward and said: "The Marquis of Shanyang broke through Shouchun and ordered the rebel Yuan Shu to give the head, which is naturally a great achievement. ”

Liu Biao also knew that the main thing was to appease Cao Cao now, so he ordered Cao Cao to be in charge of Shouchun.

The defeat of Yuan Shu was expected by the princes, and what made the princes jealous the most was that Cao Cao must have obtained the method of making the bed crossbow, if Cao Jun had such a sharp weapon as the bed crossbow, how terrible it would be.

Sun Ce was the most depressed, he was the first person Zhang Xun contacted, but he didn't want to be taken away by Cao Cao who originally belonged to Jiangdong, but at this time Sun Ce was preparing to seize Jiangxia, and he cared more about Jiangxia than Shouchun.

Looking at the waterwheel in front of him, Lu Bu showed a satisfied smile, the waterwheel is extremely convenient to use, the body is assembled into a rectangular long groove with three plates, a sprocket wheel is set at each end of the groove, and the keel leaf plate is used as a chain to pass through the long groove; The body is obliquely placed at the water's edge, the lower sprocket and part of the long groove are immersed in the water, and the sprocket on the shore is the driving wheel; The shaft of the driving wheel is longer, and there are four crutches at each end; The person leans on the shelf, steps on the crutch, drives the upper chain, scrapes the water along the trough and rises, discharges the water to the end of the trough, and then returns to the water along the top of the long trough. In this way, the water is continuously brought to shore with minimal effort.

"Does this thing have a name?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

"Yet, not yet, not taken, named." Receiving Lu Bu's appreciation, Ma Jun's face turned red with excitement.

"Why don't you call it a keel waterwheel?" Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said.

Ma Jun arched his hand and said: "Much, thank you, Xie Jin, Jin Hou, give the name." ”

"What kind of strange things does Lord Ma have, although it is built in the craftsman's workshop, this time Lord Ma built a keel waterwheel, which is extremely beneficial to the people of Bingzhou, and in the future, he will enjoy the treatment of Taishou like Lord Cheng, and he can wear Taishou clothes when traveling." Lu Budao, he understands how much a talent like Ma Jun plays a huge role in Bingzhou.

"Much, thank you, Xie Jinhou." Ma Jun said excitedly, being able to wear the clothes of Taishou when traveling, what a glorious thing it is to honor the ancestors.

"My lord, Master Ma once modified the silk loom, which is said to be able to increase the speed of weaving cloth by four times." Cheng Laohan said.

"Oh, there is such a thing, but the craftsman's workshop is going all out to build this kind of weaving machine." Lu Buxi said.

If the speed of weaving can be greatly improved, it is not impossible to build a weaving factory in the state, and cloth is also a daily need.
