"It's done?"

"It's done!"

"Let's go to the school martial arts field!"

Zu Yan showed the three-bow bed crossbow, Qianjun crossbow and Yuanxiang bow. This was the general intention outlined by Xu You before. It involved simple physics and mathematical principles, and was a long-range artifact to break the formation and defend the city by Tiangongfang.

There is no need to mention the three-bow crossbow. Later generations are famous. They can shoot thousands of steps, install or giant shields, and directly insert people and horses into strings. There is no negotiation. They can also fire pedal arrows and nail them directly into the city walls and line them up. The siege soldiers can climb up. The Wanjun crossbow is closer to the Divine Arm Bow of the Song Dynasty. It is a type of crossbow. It uses waist force and foot pedals to strike the strings, and the range can reach more than 200 steps. The Yuanxiang bow combines the characteristics of Ming bow and Qing bow. It is different from the current Han bow. It adopts the structure of a long bow tip recurve bow with a large pull distance and sufficient energy storage. It can shoot heavy arrows and use it to break armor. Because of the recurve, a larger stone bow can be opened with a smaller force, and a groove-shaped leather string pad is installed to reduce the power of the bow string rebounding and increase ease of use and stability.

However, the strength of the crossbow lies in the arrows. For example, the Qing army had three categories: arrows, piercing arrows, and whistle arrows. This time, Tiangongfang created more than 20 light and heavy arrows, and can adopt different arrows according to the combat units and targets, striving to maximize the input-output ratio.

The test shooting effect is amazing. The three-bow bed crossbow can be called a killer weapon. One heavy arrow and seven arrows fall to the ground like thunder, and the middle one will be destroyed immediately. The Wanjun crossbow also performs well. It penetrates the heavy armor within 20 steps, and the string is simple. After reaching a certain scale, it is more suitable for field combat than the three-bow bed crossbow. As for the Yuanxiang bow, the chain mail can be penetrated within 60 steps, and the most important thing is that the accuracy is comparable to the long eyes. If it is equipped with Zhenhaidu, you can almost hit wherever you point. Thinking about the terrible scene of being aimed at by 500 snipers, it is simply too difficult.

Everyone present was shocked and Tan Zhuo said excitedly: "General, with such a powerful weapon, the Wei army's cavalry is not worth worrying about!"

"It is people who decide the outcome, not weapons!" Xu You poured cold water on everyone and said, "The Wei army was completely destroyed in the battle with Rouran. Although there is no hope of recovery in a short period of time, the number of heavy cavalry and light cavalry still has an absolute advantage. We are likely to fight against the Wei army in the Yellow River Basin. The right time and place are in place but not me. Joining the military department should make more targeted plans, combine the cooperation between multiple arms to carry out uninterrupted training, so as to be prepared for any eventuality."

Everyone was shocked, and after taking the chance, they didn't dare to be careless anymore, and said, "Okay!"

Once the state machine is fully operational, its efficiency and scale will become amazing. After months of preparation, the State of Chu will work together to mobilize troops, raise funds, stock up on food and grass, rush to build weapons, expand the dock, and pile up food and grass in important military cities along the Jianghuai Line, and countless other types of weapons such as swords, guns, bows, crossbows, arrows, armor, ships, thunder and cannons. Tiangongfang and the Five War Departments will cooperate in depth. Referring to the original examples of Zhao Xin Chuanfang and Yangzhou Guanfang, they undertake the regulation, design and molding of various weapons, which is considered to have made a lot of war money.

In fact, with Xu You's current status, the demand for money is not very large, but the money you should collect must be collected. Otherwise, if you don't distinguish between family affairs and state affairs, it will probably cause disgust and impeachment from some people.

You must know that only the family affairs of the emperor are state affairs!

During these months, Taicheng also issued a series of orders, ordering Zuo Qi to be the governor of Yuzhou, Chenliu, Qi Xiao to be the governor of Yanzhou, Gaoping, Zhu Zhi to be the governor of Liangzhou, Hanzhong, Zhang Huai to be the governor of Xiangzhou and the commander of the Southern Barbarians, and Yiling. Wei Buqu replaced Zhu Zhi and served as the governor of Jiangzhou. The general of the guard Di Xia was in charge of the center, and Wei Buqu was also the governor of Danyang, and joined forces to protect Jinling.

In addition, Gu Yun went to Beijing again and officially took office as Minister of Personnel. The vacant Yangzhou governor was led by Shanyang Wang Anxiuyuan, and Bao Xi was appointed as the chief secretary of Yangzhou and Li Erniu was appointed as the Sima of Yangzhou.

Li Erniu's appointment was calm and Bao Xi's appointment was stuck during the court discussion. Xie Xiwen hoped to take this position on the grounds that the old man from the Linchuan Palace needed to maintain the stability of the situation in Yangzhou. However, Xu You persuaded An Xiulin to temporarily regard Bao Xi as the chief minister on the grounds that the Western Expedition needed to maintain the stability of the Yangzhou situation. If his talents were insufficient, he could wait until the Western Expedition was over and chose another good minister to replace him according to Xie Xiwen's intention.

Xie Xiwen accepted Bao Xi's appointment, but on the grounds that his father and son were unable to be on the same level, Gu Huaiming resigned from his post as Minister of Revenue, promoted to the third rank, and was promoted to the position of Minister of Revenue. The Minister of Revenue was replaced by Fan Huaizhi, the Minister of Revenue. Fan Huaizhi was born into a middle-class gentry and was involved in various families. He was promoted step by step to the Minister of Revenue. Originally, with his rank, the Minister of Revenue was the end point of becoming an official, but he was also a smart person and actively approached Xie Xiwen and others, so he also received positive rewards this time.

On the evening of March 7, the spring rain was fine, and Fang Sinian suddenly appeared in the General's Mansion. Before she could speak, she fell into a coma. After examination, there were many knife wounds on her shoulders and back, some of which were scabbed, and some were new, but it was not tight, and she did not hurt her muscles and bones and vitals. Otherwise, she would not be able to return to Jinling alive. Xu You used the supreme Xuan Gong to treat her internal injuries, and then handed them over to Wen Ruquan to condition the external injuries, and it would not take long to recover as usual.

What really surprised Xu You was that Fang Sinian not only broke the fourth rank, but also made an entry very quickly. It was supposed to be another adventure in the Northern Wei Dynasty. News came from the secret palace a little earlier that Fang Sinian went to find Hexi Chounu after entering Pingcheng. After that, she could not find any trace of the city. She did not take the initiative to contact the secret palace, and she did not know about life and death, which made Xu You and the others worried for a while.

"Is Si Nian okay?" Zhan Wenjun was still worried and complained in a low voice: "You are really, why did you promise her to go to Wei alone? She has never passed through the dangerous little girl in the world. She traveled thousands of miles to the enemy territory. When she said that, she thought you abused the child?"

Xu You smiled bitterly and said, "Sinian is just pure in mind. In fact, he is very smart. He followed Shanzong all the way to kill thieves and was calm when he encountered problems..."

Zhan Wenjun gave him a blank look, and the mighty General Xu immediately surrendered and said, "Yes, my fault, I should send someone to follow her just in case."

While talking, Fang Sinian woke up slowly. When he saw Xu You, his pretty face showed a bright smile and said, "Xiao Lang, that stinky monk chased me for two months, traveled thousands of miles, and finally I caught the opportunity and chopped his head."

"Stinky monk?" Xu You's eyes showed a little coldness and said, "A wise man?"

"Yes, he said his name is Zuo Xi, and he is Lingzhi's seventh disciple. He looks thin and has a bit of toughness under his hands!" Fang Sinian coughed violently for a while and said, "But hardness is useless. His true qi is not pure enough and cannot last long. I was dragged to death by me into the mountains!"

After Fang Sinian talked about her experience intermittently, Xu You realized how thrilling and magical the way was. First, he was personally inspired by Yuan Guang, thus breaking the fourth rank, and was valued by Lingzhi, and failed to stay. Instead, he was protected by Yuan Mulan and escaped from Pingcheng. Then Lingzhi sent his apprentice to capture her. Fortunately, Fang Sinian was smart enough to fight and escape. She grew up in a mountain village since childhood, proficient in hunting skills, and had the experience of hang out with Shanzong. She was too strong in the trend of mountains, rivers and rivers and the ability to survive in the wild, so she deliberately led him into the mountain. Finally, she set up a trap to trap her and cut her neck with a knife.

Zuo Xi is the peak of the fourth grade. He is just in the realm theory and is comparable to Xu You, but he suffers as a loss. He feels so comfortable as a monk. He has the wisdom to protect him and has never been beaten by society. He will lose his life.

After a few more days, when Fang Sinian recovered his vitality, Xu You asked her in detail about her experience of fighting with Yuan Guang. It was a night that he suddenly felt something and officially entered the third-grade realm. He had been wandering outside the third-grade mountain gate for a long time. At the end of last year, Xuanji Academy opened. When Yuan Qingqi saw him, he said that there seemed to be signs of breaking the door. This time he was inspired by Yuan Guang, it was natural.

However, Qingming has been trapped in the fifth grade for many years. He became a junior master a year earlier than Xu You. Now many years have passed and there is no sign of a breakthrough, which makes him a little distressed. Especially when he sees Fang Sinian coming from behind, although he won’t be envious, he also feels that it’s time to work hard.

On March 16th, everything was ready. An Xiulin climbed the altar to serve as a general and issued the "Edict on the Conquest of Liang Kingdom", which lamented the nine major crimes of Yao Ji's great rebellion and was willing to slander the people at the request of Prince Yao Jin of Liang. Then, General Xu You was appointed as the commander of the three armies, and the commander of the military affairs inside and outside the eight states, including Jing, Jiang, Liang, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yu and Yangzhou. He was still the governor of Xuzhou, commanding 250,000 elite soldiers and vowed to the west.

Since the Anshi Yu became the throne, no minister in the State of Chu has reached such a terrible position. An Xiulin's trust in Xu You may have exceeded the imagination of too many people in the world.

Xu You immediately wrote a letter to the new governor of Yuzhou, Mu Fan, in the name of the general, saying that he wanted to borrow the Yellow River waterway and go through Yuzhou and Luozhou to Tongguan to conquer Xiliang. In order to avoid misunderstandings between the two sides, he wrote a letter, hoping that the Wei State would generously borrow the friendship between each other and his friendship.

Mu Fan once followed Yuan Guang to attack Rouran for thousands of miles, and destroyed Luhunhai's plan was his plan. Because he had just been transferred to Yuzhou for military achievements, the position of governor was not yet hot. After receiving the letter, he was shocked and immediately reported to Pingcheng immediately and ordered the counties of Yuzhou to strictly guard against each other and not to act rashly until they received the order from Pingcheng.

On March 17, almost at the same time as Xu You's letter was sent out, the middle lane was led by Zuo Yu's 20,000 Cuiyu Army and the 20,000 Youdu Army of Shanzong as the main force, with a total of 40,000 troops. The troops went out of Chenliu, heading north through Yingchuan, and attacking Xuchang.

The eastern route led 10,000 Cuiyu Army and Ye Min to lead 10,000 Chifeng Army out of Gaoping, took a boat through Juyezhai and entered the Yellow River, and then went upstream to approach Huatai, as the wings and follow-up support of the Zuoqi Army. Bu Tian led 20,000 Qingzhou Army out of Licheng, staring at him and making a gesture of crossing the Yellow River. He watched Jizhou, and the defenders of Jezhou did not dare to join forces to pick up Qixiao's retreat and rescue Yuzhou.

The west route was led by Tan Xiaozu, Xue Xuanmo, and Dan Tai Douxing led 50,000 Jingzhou troops from Xiangyang to Nanyang and headed straight to Yangcheng. Yao Jin led 10,000 Yuduowei and Zhu Zhi led 10,000 soldiers from Liangzhou to Wuguan, restraining the Liang army in Guanzhong and creating opportunities for attacking Tongguan in the middle. Zhu Rui took a thousand white horses and iron cavalry out of Ziwu Road and went around behind Chang'an. As a suspect soldier, he used the maneuverability of the cavalry and interspersed in depth and completely disrupted the rear of Xiliang.

On March 21, Xu You personally led a 100,000 central army from Pengcheng to take a boat along the Bian River, out of the Shimen, and into the Yellow River. The troops headed straight to Cangyuan.
