Gan Ning replied loudly after giving the salute: "Although the general promised him, if he can solve the urgent need for military rations, why will he be sorry?" ”

Liu Qi waved his hand again and again: "No, our army has been reduced by two percent, and the military rations are enough to last until the wheat harvest season, even if it is really not enough, it can't be coerced by others to make trouble unreasonably?" ”

Wei Bin sneered and said loudly: "The power of the tiger and the beasts dare not compete, but the young tiger grows into less than one, and ninety percent of them become the food in the belly of the jackal. At present, I can help the general to go to Danyang with peace of mind, take advantage of Liu Xuan's time to review and take his lair in one fell swoop, and the hegemony of Jiangnan will be achieved soon, all friends, Xiao Yier, An Tianxia, Da Yiyi, the general advised me not to abolish the public for personal reasons, why did I miss state affairs for personal friendship? ”

Gan Ning's eyes flashed, and he looked at Wei Bin carefully, Wei Bin pointed out Liu Qi's current key problem, in a place where strong neighbors are looking around, they must quickly grow their strength before all parties are aware of their threat, and with enough strength, they can deter all the strong countries from attacking easily, so as to gain more space and time for development.

But Liu Qi is now short of military food, and has to take the initiative to disarm, which is undoubtedly a sign of weakness compared to the surrounding strong neighbors, not to mention Liu Biao, but Liu Qi Xing's troops to attack Liu Qi can not bear it, once it falls into a long-term war, the development and growth is even more far away, and the strength is already insufficient, and after such consumption, sooner or later it will be swallowed up.

Gan Ning stared at Liu Qi and hugged his fists and said, "Please take the world first!" ”

Looking at Gan Ning's resolute eyes, Liu Qi was extremely ashamed, for Liu Qi, in fact, since he knew Zhang Jiao's whereabouts, he didn't take the series of grand plans he had made before to heart, and did everything possible to take down Yuzhang because Yuzhang was closer to Shouchun, as for Jiangdong, it was the best to take it, and it didn't matter if he couldn't take it, as long as he equipped the secret weapon and trained a strong elite army to defend this base area.

Now Liu Qi's all his attention is on waiting for Zhang Jiao to wait for Shouchun to forcibly break through the Lujiang River and enter Huainan to round up Zhang Jiao, but Gan Ning, who has no idea, is still planning for him the grand plan he described a few months ago!

Liu Qi, who couldn't explain it, had no choice but to nod in agreement, Wei Bin also secretly admired, and saluted Gan Ning: "Captain Gan is very respectful, but as a human son and father, I can't help but revenge ......."

Come on, don't think about it in your life!

In the future, it is necessary to strengthen the defense of Gan Ning, Liu Qiyi stretched out his hand and interrupted Wei Bin: "Your whole family is under the rule of Jiangzhou, if you dare to be unfavorable to Xingba, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

Wei Bin sneered indifferently and said: "Although Yongning has grain, it is thousands of miles away from Yuzhang, and the thirst cannot be quenched by far water, and there is no surplus grain to sell to the general in Jingzhou's Liu Biaoxing army. ”

Liu Qi was surprised, could it be that Wei Bin had some background in Huiji?

Sure enough, Wei Bin explained: "In the next place, it is a Shanyin clan, and he moved to Yizhou because his father entered Shu as an official, but the elders of the clan still stay in Shanyin, and there is still a little weight in speaking!" That Liu Miao deceived the good and feared the evil, and after serving as the assassin of Yangzhou, he did not dare to ask Yuan Shu for Huainan, but instead bullied the counties in Jiangdong, forcibly dismissed the officials of the counties and appointed private individuals, especially his minions Xu Gong, and coerced the original Wu County to give way to Shengxian He was still not satisfied, and even secretly made someone kill Shengxian's family brutally, such a despicable act is simply outrageous! ”

Xu Gong? The Xu Gong who assassinated Sun Ce?

Liu Qi couldn't help but light up his eyes, in history, Sun Ce killed Xu Gong, Xu Gong had three loyal disciples who were determined to avenge their master, so they stabbed Sun Ce when he was out hunting and was alone, and injured Sun Ce with a quenched crossbow arrow, which eventually led to Sun Ce's untimely death, and the process of assassination was only mentioned in the history books, but Liu Qi knew that it was not as simple as people imagined, how the three of them mastered Sun Ce's whereabouts and accurately tracked the success of the final blow, any point was not easy.

However, it seems that there is no chance to know the answer to this riddle, because Sun Ce has no chance to intersect with Xu Gong in a short period of time, and since Liu Qi himself knows the danger of Xu Gong, of course he will not easily make a feud with Xu Gong, even if he has to be hostile to Liu Qi, he will cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

Wei Bin continued: "Liu Xiang is jealous of cronyism by nature, and allows Xu Gong, Lu Yan, Wang Lang and other cool officials to be rampant, and the people of Huiji have long been unbearable, Wei is not willing to go to Huiji to lobby the head of the Wei family, the current Shangyu (now Shangyu City, Zhejiang Province) county commander Wei Feng, united county officials to respond to the general's volunteers to resist Liu Xuan, the abdomen and back of the enemy Liu Xuan did not dare to let the foundation be lost and must return to the army to rescue, the general sent an envoy to say that Liu Biao took the Lujiang River, and the Lujiang Xuzhou barrier was lost, Tao Qian was too busy to take care of himself and no longer had the heart to help Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan was like the bird in the cage, within three months, he will be captured by the general! Take down Danyang Wu County, there is Liu Biao in front of the town to live in the heroes, and the general can sleep with peace of mind from now on! ”

In fact, the history of Liu Xiang is honest and loves the people of the official reputation is quite good, but only the Huiji people hate it to the bone, Liu Xiang served as Yangzhou Assassin before Jiangdong is the world of the Zhou brothers, the Zhou brothers control the military and political power of the counties in Jiangdong, Taishou, Duwei and other major officials are Huiji, and Liu Miao into Jiangdong expelled and killed the Zhou brothers, soft and hard to remove the original Taishou of each county with their own people, in the process of power alternation it is inevitable that there are subordinates to use the means out of line, such as Wu County Taishou Shengxian has already said that the illness gave way, However, Xu Gong did not forgive Sheng Xian and killed Sheng Xian's family, and wantonly squeezed out and suppressed the Huiji people, which undoubtedly made Liu Miao and the Huiji clans form an irresolvable hatred.

Liu Qi and his relatives Liu Biao Liu Zhang were born at the wrong time, among many stronger princes, they are destined to not achieve greater achievements, for Liu Xiang's "small role" in the history books, Liu Qi has never cared, now his own affairs are troublesome enough, Liu Xiang and his subordinates are good or bad, what kind of holiday does Liu Qi have with Liu Qi, he cares about whether Wei Bin's idea is worth the money, Wei Bin's last sentence completely aroused Liu Qi's desire, The feasibility of this plan was quickly calculated in his mind.

Danyang has been a place of elite soldiers since ancient times, and it is the evidence that Liu Miao guarantees his greatest power, and the original Yangzhou state governance is Shouchun occupied by Yuan Shu, Liu Miao will set up his state governance in Qu'a, Wu County, once the soldier base and political center are threatened, Liu Xiang will definitely return to the army immediately, this retreat Yuan Shu will definitely not fight with Liu Biao alone, Yuan Shu and then retreat to Lujiang is Liu Biao's plate, how to use others to remind, Lujiang lost Liu Xiang will no longer be able to unite with Yuan Shu.

Only the easternmost neighboring Xuzhou remains, how can Xuzhou Mu Taoqian's old treacherous cunning not see the situation clearly to help Liu Xuan, and if he doesn't take the opportunity to bite him, it will be kind.

Liu Miao has no foreign aid, and he has to defend against attacks from all sides, and he is tired of dealing with a little bit of exhaustion all day long, and it is only a matter of time before he collapses!

In this way, Liu Qi can take Jiangdong as he wishes, Liu Biao can obtain Lujiang, and the relationship between the two sides will be further closer.

Liu Qi and Gan Ning glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, they didn't expect Wei Bin, a small county lieutenant, to have such a strategy, if Wei Bin can really say that he can move officials from all over the world, how can Liu Qi be too small? With a large enough territory, there are enough troops, and it is more convenient to raid Shouchun after taking Danyang and Wu County, and the success rate is even greater!

If you succeed, you will be a big step towards your ultimate goal!

Even if you don't succeed and you don't have any losses, you can get rid of Wei Bin's entanglement with Gan Ning, and you won't be able to suffer a loss.

Looking at Gan Ning, who nodded calmly, Liu Qi cast a grateful gaze, and then coughed a few times and said to Wei Bin: "Then Lao Gong will work hard, and there will be heavy thanks after the matter is completed!" ”

"Please stay for the general, more than a month, less than 20 days, and I will bring back good news for the general!"

Liu Qi immediately sent two hundred soldiers to escort Wei Bin on the road, looking at Wei Bin's distant back Liu Qi couldn't help but feel funny, it is really a wonder that the world is so big, there is such a person who is so persistent in hatred, it is okay to leave him after the fact, but he and Gan Ning have to be separated from each other.

"Xingba, don't rush to the front easily in the future, be careful is ......"

Now that the trajectory of history has changed, who knows what unexpected changes will occur in Gan Ning, who would have died thirty or forty years later, the general will inevitably die before the battle, Liu Qi suddenly had an ominous premonition, and reminded worriedly.

Gan Ning patted Liu Qi's shoulder disapprovingly and said with a smile: "Life and death are fate, you and I can't be the master, why bother yourself, go, drink!" ”

Liu Qi and Gan Ning quietly slipped back to Nanchang, and the crossbow went out of the drawings to become real equipment, and a large number of skilled craftsmen were needed, in order to increase the production speed, especially for the need for secrecy, Liu Qi had to gather all the craftsmen he could find to develop and produce in a safe and secret place.

In addition, the families of these craftsmen should also be concentrated and provided with superior living conditions and security guarantees, so as to increase the enthusiasm of the craftsmen and avoid leakage of secrets to the greatest extent.

Zhao Zhen thought very thoughtfully, there are more than 100 craftsmen of all kinds who came with the army, Yongning is rich in iron ore, steel products are not only supplied to the county officials and soldiers, but also traded with all parts of the country, is an important source of tax revenue in the county, so it has led to the development of a series of related industries, so there are countless skilled blacksmiths and carpenters in the county, and these are the best of the best masters in Liu Qijun.

In fact, Liu Qi only has a vague concept of the repeater in his mind, except for the appearance and basic principles, Liu Qi knows nothing about the real structure, and without these experienced craftsmen, the crossbow will never be able to become a real thing from Liu Qi's mind.

Now Liu Qi only has to put forward a request, the craftsmen will come up with a variety of solutions in a few days, or a few quarters of an hour, Liu Qi only needs to pick the one closest to his own requirements, and in the process of continuous installation and commissioning, many craftsmen can even put forward some better suggestions to make this new weapon more suitable for Liu Qi's requirements.
