1,000 sets of horseshoes were delivered to Zhou Yafu, and at the same time, dozens of craftsmen who had already mastered the skills of how to nail horseshoes were also handed over.

Zhou Yafu suddenly bowed and said: "At home, the minister has a reluctant request, please agree!" ”

Liu Che hurriedly helped Zhou Yafu up, and said with a smile: "Tai Lieutenant, please speak up, you are alone!" ”

Zhou Yafu bowed down and said: "I heard that the minister of the family, the doctor of the door, is the 'virtuous hero' of the old Luoyang...... Therefore, cheekily seconded this person to the family! ”

When Liu Che heard this, he didn't think about it, so he agreed.

Even, even if Zhou Yafu didn't mention this matter, Liu Che would try his best to send Ju Meng to the front line.

Of course, Zhou Yafu's statement of 'a virtuous hero' is similar to that of a 'dynamic non-governmental organization' in later generations.

When Zhou Yafu heard this, he was overjoyed.

With the help of Ju Meng, I will go to quell the rebellion, and the grasp will be a little bigger!

The reason is simple.

Whether it is the Han army or the Wu Chu coalition army.

In fact, I don't know much about the east of Luoyang.

It may not be clear where there are trails, where there are rivers, where the water is not deep and suitable for swimming.

Even if you go to the local area and find someone to be your guide, you may not know everything.

It's only the rangers who are full of food all day long and have nothing to do, and they wander around.

Secondly, the folk rangers have always been active participants in all wars since the end of the Qin Dynasty.

The rangers can scout and work intensively, go deep into enemy-occupied areas, and engage in many tasks such as reconnaissance and sabotage.

As a family of shomon. Zhou Yafu naturally knows the importance of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent.

And Ju Meng is the general leader of the Luoyang Ranger, and he has a high reputation on the Luoyang side.

It is no exaggeration to say. With Ju Meng, he can control almost the entire rangers east of Luoyang in his hands, bringing unexpected convenience to the next military operation.

So, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, appointed Ju Meng as the lieutenant of Fengche and went out with Zhou Yafu.

Liu Che was naturally happy!

Fengche Commander, even if it's just a nominal Fengche Captain. It all means that for the first time, his hand can be stretched out into the army and the court openly, and he can use the name of Ju Meng to cultivate the power in the army in the future. It was even possible to conduct some research that he was afraid to do in the past for fear of taboos.

For example, the improvement of the bed crossbow and the study of armor such as Mingguang armor and fish scale armor.

Because, Captain Fengche, has such power!

As a military attache close to the emperor. This position occupied an important place in the royal armed forces system of the Han dynasty. You can understand it as the commander of Unit 8341 of the Celestial Empire in the later generations. Generally, he is responsible for the emperor's security work.

For example, after Huo Qu died of illness, before his only son died, he held the position of Fengche Lieutenant.

Taking advantage of the fact that Ju Meng was appointed as the lieutenant of Fengche and went out with the army, Liu Che took the opportunity to propose to send his prince guard to the front.

The reason is naturally under the guise of serving the country.

But in fact, he wanted his own guards to exercise. See Blood.

Liu Che knew very well that this time King Wu rebelled. It is probably the largest war in the last decade or so, representing the most advanced art of contemporary warfare.

After the suppression of Liu Bi, the Han family will enter a period of peaceful farming that will last for more than ten years.

Don't take advantage of this opportunity to let your subordinates see the world and prepare for the training of a new type of officer in the future.

I'm afraid that there will be no such opportunity in the future.

And a unit that has not been tested in actual combat, no matter how much it brags, is actually a showmanship.

For Liu Che's request, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, doesn't care.

Liu Che's Prince Guard, combined, is only 300 people, even if they are all sent to the front line, they will just be like a drop of water falling into the sea, and they will disappear without a trace in an instant.

Besides, it is impossible to send them all out.

At most, about 100 people.

Therefore, for this kind of trivial matter, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, nodded slightly, and it was agreed.

Liu Che was overjoyed.

Sending guards to the front line, in fact, Liu Che also knew that they could not really go into battle to kill, and they would definitely be treated as giant pandas to protect the commander's tent in the Chinese army, as Zhou Yafu's personal guard.

However, this is equivalent to putting a battlefield observation group next to Zhou Yafu.

When they come back, they will summarize what they have seen and heard on the battlefield and the gains and losses in the process of the battle between the two armies, and then continue to deduce.

With time, it may not be impossible to train a capable staff team.

For Liu Che, this is what he values.

Therefore, he immediately decided to send out all the guys under him who had some military talents, mixed with the more than 100 and 200 guards who accompanied the army, and observed the changes on the battlefield while learning from famous generals like Zhou Yafu.

There are not many opportunities for such a good study and exercise!

Well, Yi Zong and his friends, as well as Gongsun He, Gu Zhenrou, etc., who have been idle, can all be sent!

In the future, perhaps, a group of generals can come out of these people or something!

………………………………

At this time, the Thorn Wall City was a scene of slaughter.

As many as 100,000 Wu and Chu allied troops surrounded the thorn wall.

In just one day of siege, the defenders of Thorn Wall have killed hundreds of people and wounded nearly 1,000 people, and as for the casualties of the people, they have not yet been counted.

The general of the defenders of Thornwall City was Zhang Yu, a confidant of Liu Wu, the king of Liang.

At this moment, Zhang Yu stood at the head of the thorny wall, looking at the endless Wu Chu camp outside the city, and the muscles on his face collapsed.

Five days ago, after learning the news of King Wu's rebellion, he was immediately appointed by Liu Wu as the defender of Thorn Wall, with 3,000 Liang troops, stationed in Thorn Wall, and at the same time, began to reorganize the army, strengthen the city wall, prepare arrows, bricks and firewood used to defend the city, and even sent people to set fire to the woods outside the city.

In order to prevent the rebels from obtaining raw materials for siege equipment on the spot.

However, now......

Zhang Yu stared at the dozen or so huge nest cars outside the city and dozens of ladder cars and throwing cars, and his heart sank to the bottom of the water little by little.

Obviously. These siege equipment were all transported by the Wu army from Bei.

And look at yourself.

Although for more than 20 years, Liang has continued to reorganize its armaments for war.

But as the key to defending the city, the bed crossbow. But not much.

In the entire Thorn Wall City, only five bed crossbows are equipped, and two of them are no longer functional, because they have fallen into disrepair.

In other words, now, the defenders at the head of the city can only rely on the three bed crossbows to strike at the rebels from a long distance.

Other Nakshatra beats. Plug knives or something, you can only use them at close range.

At this time, in the distance in the formation of Wu Chu's army. Huge throwing carts were pushed out of position.

"Ready!" Zhang Yu immediately shouted nervously.

For siege equipment such as throwing cars, Zhang Yu knows them very well.

A throwing car can throw a flying stone weighing 12 catties or even 20 catties into the city 300 steps away, and the person who is hit is hit. Even houses with solid masonry structures. You can also be smashed out of a hole.

If it falls on someone, it will immediately be shattered!

Therefore, if you want to curb the throwing of cars, you can only rely on bed crossbows.

Only a bed crossbow, a strategic weapon that can destroy a car thrown at a distance of 500 or even 800 steps, can curb the enemy's car throwing.

However, the accuracy of the bed crossbow is a joke.

Usually three arrows can hit one target, and that is the old man's blessing.

Fortunately, the accuracy of the throwing car on the opposite side is a slag, and the flying stones thrown out, even the throwing car itself does not know where it will fly.

Yes. In general, bed crossbows are fired at throwing carts. The bed crossbow will have the upper hand.

Relying on the accuracy that is stronger than the other party, I slowly take a roll call and clean it up.

It's just that now, there are a total of three bed crossbows in the entire thorn wall, which is not enough to suppress the opponent's throwing car.

Therefore, in this matchup, Wu Chu has the advantage.

If it weren't for the Twin Wall's bed crossbow that was lucky enough, none of them had been destroyed by the car so far, at this moment, the Twin Wall should consider whether it should retain its strength and not shoot at Wu Chu.

Bang Bang Bang!

Dozens of flying stones fell from the sky and landed on the head of the thorn wall or in the city.

Zhang Yu saw with his own eyes that several people who were carrying the sassafras to the head of the city were smashed down on the spot by a flying stone, and the strong impact of the flying stone directly smashed the sassafras wood and fell off the city, as for those people, two of them were smashed by the flying stones, lying on the head of the city, their internal organs flowed all over the ground, and the rest were also rolling all over the ground.

"Fight back! Fight back for me! Zhang Yu ordered angrily.

The three bed crossbows that were given the order, under the control of the soldiers, the winch began to turn, and then turned, aiming at the throwing cart in the distance.

Whoosh!

Huge arrows shot out of the air.

This time, as luck was good, a huge arrow hit one of the rebels' throwing carts, and in an instant, the entire wooden equipment fell apart with a bang.

"Good!" Zhang Yu praised loudly: "Good shot!" ”

He was about to step forward to encourage the soldier who was holding the bed crossbow to accurately hit the enemy throwing the cart, but he heard another whistling sound in the sky.

As he watched, a boulder flew out of nowhere and smashed into the place where the bed crossbow was.

Under the action of strong inertia, the flying boulder instantly turned the place where the bed crossbow that was originally cheering turned into a Shura field.

Blood, severed limbs, and broken parts were scattered all over the floor.

Zhang Yu's eyes widened angrily, but he was helpless.

Because, this is war!

He didn't even have time to get angry or grieved, and he had to devote all his attention to the city.

Because, the Wu and Chu coalition forces began to move.

Thousands of soldiers, carrying ladders or pushing ladder carts, siege towers, trenches and other equipment, rushed over in a frenzy.

Zhang Yu could even clearly see that these people, shirtless, were shouting.

He sighed inwardly.

He knew very well that these were just cannon fodder.

Most of them were outlaws and bandits of the Wu Kingdom, as well as ruffians.

The only purpose of their coming was to consume the body of the Thorn Wall defenders!

Because, Zhang Yu knew that Liu Bi in the camp opposite knew very well that the defenders of the Thorn Wall added up to less than 20,000, and this still counted the number of young and strong people who were temporarily recruited.

There are only more than 10,000 real soldiers.

I want to hold on to the thorn wall, such a little person. It's definitely not enough!

Yes, today, one day, after the Wu-Chu coalition army was thwarted in its first tentative attack. This strategy of consumption was immediately adopted.

There is no doubt that such a situation, as long as it lasts for three days, after the defenders are exhausted, they will usher in the crazy attack of the Wu army, and the siege method called ant attachment is the nightmare of all the defenders.

Zhang Yu couldn't be sure. I can hold out for a few days.

He only hopes that reinforcements will come soon!

"Han Anguo doesn't know where he is now?" Zhang Yu thought in his heart: "The reinforcements of the imperial court don't know if they have set off!" ”

Of course, Zhang Yu knew very well that there were two keys to determining the survival of the Thorn Wall.

One is whether the main force of the Liang State under the command of Han Anguo can break Wu Chu's blockade of the Thorn Wall. Bring food, water, and new troops, especially bed crossbows, into the city.

The second is the reinforcements of the imperial court, when to join the war.

These two conditions are indispensable.

Otherwise. Even if Han Anguo broke through the blockade. However, if there are no reinforcements from the imperial court, it will be a matter of time before the Thorn Wall falls.

……………………………………

Just when Zhang Yu was worried.

Liu Che prepared a banquet in the palace and practiced it for the courtiers who were about to follow Zhou Yafu on the expedition.

Drama Meng, Yi Zong, Gongsun He, Gu Zhenrou and others have different expressions on their faces.

But in general, they are all emotions such as excitement and excitement.

Liu Che picked up the wine bottle, saluted everyone, and said, "Zhuqing." This goes to follow the captain and crusade against the rebellion. Loyal to the community, lonely here, I wish Zhuqing a victory, put down the rebellion, and return my Han family to a peace! ”

After speaking, Liu Che drank it all.

And the courtiers naturally stood up and bowed one after another: "The family is encouraged, and the ministers remember, don't dare or forget!" ”

After saying these words, as the highest official who led the army to the expedition and was also the actual commander of the prince's guard, Ju Meng bowed down and bowed: "The ministers are waiting to go here, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, please give the family an opportunity to set a policy, I will wait for this trip, what should I do?" ”

This is also the reason for this.

Even if in a small company in the future, people from a certain department are ordered by the chairman to go on a business trip, and at the practice banquet, as long as they are not stupid employees, they will definitely show their loyalty to the head of their department, pat their chests, and make a look of 'I can have today, all thanks to your cultivation'.

Not to mention in politics?

Liu Che pondered for a moment and said, "When you go, you just need to remember, report to the king, and comfort Li Shu...... Of course ......"

Liu Che changed his words and said: "If you break the capital of Wu State, Zhu Qing pays attention to two things for Lonely......"

"First, Huiji Copper Mountain, after the army occupies it, Ju Meng, you take the lonely order, block the copper mountain, ask the captain to transfer troops, protect, do not let people loot, let alone let people indulge......" Huiji's copper mountain is undoubtedly the largest copper mountain in the Han Dynasty, and the associated precious metals such as gold and silver are innumerable, and what is more precious is that Liu Bi has been operating for decades, and the operation system of the entire copper mountain has been quite perfect, however, in the previous life, this copper mountain was looted by a certain unit of the Han army that rushed into the state of Wu, and it was robbed, in order to cover up the crime, Just set a fire......

Then, it took ten years for the Han dynasty to restore the production of the copper mountain during the Liu Bi period.

That's it, a large number of skilled copper smelting craftsmen and money minting craftsmen were killed, which is what Liu Che is most distressed about.

According to rumors in his previous life, Liu Bi had thousands of craftsmen of all kinds in Tongshan in Huiji, but after Huiji County was listed as a separate county, the total number of craftsmen in the county was no more than a thousand!

For Liu Che, such atrocities must be stopped!

This is a crime against the state!

"No!" Ju Meng hurriedly kowtowed and wrote it down.

Liu Che continued to instruct: "Secondly, after entering the territory of Wu State, Qing and the others, in the name of Lone, sent an order to the whole country, all craftsmen and generations of scholars, even if they are guilty, they must not kill at will!" Especially iron, salt, and shipbuilders! ”

In order to emphasize his attitude, Liu Che reiterated again: "Remember, no one is allowed to enter Wu Zhi's shipyard and salt factory, and as soon as they arrive in Wu State, Qing and the others will immediately pass on the order of the orphan and block them all!" And the person in charge of each workshop and the craftsman, even if they are rebellious, cannot be arrested, but can only be courteously invited to Chang'an! ”

Liu Bi, the king of Wu, has been running the Wu Kingdom for more than 40 years, and his greatest wealth is not the mountains of gold and money that are piled up at all.

Rather, he painstakingly cultivated a large number of craftsmen and various workshops and shipyards.

At this time, Wu's shipbuilding technology and navigation technology, at least, were the first in the world in the entire Northeast Asia!

Later, Emperor Mi destroyed the Führer, but he still knew to protect all the scientists of the Führer.

Among them, there are many madmen, murderers, and Nazis.

Even, it is rumored that Midi also protected the animals and mongrels of the notorious Japanese Unit 731. (To be continued......)
