Ma Jun asked his disciples to launch five bee crossbows. Due to the long range, the backyard was unable to test, so everyone came to the wilderness in the northwest. There were already dozens of students who had inserted a lot of straw men and horses in leather armor, holding shields in their hands, imitating the cavalry that was attacking rapidly, with some momentum.

All around were full of students who came to visit the experiment, Liu Jing nodded and said, "Let's start."

Ma Jun waved the green flag, and fifteen brothers ran out. The man controlled a bee crossbow, two of whom were in the strings, and one of them loaded arrows and fired. The biggest feature of this bee crossbow is continuous firing, which is also a creative invention.

The so-called continuous firing means not to use temporary crossbow arrows, but to use arrow boxes filled with crossbow arrows in advance. A bee crossbow is equipped with ten arrow boxes, which support iron crossbow arrows. During combat, the arrow boxes containing ten arrows are directly inserted into the launching iron basket. After shooting for one round, take out the empty box and replace it with another arrow box. This way, the most crossbow arrows can be shot continuously in the shortest time. There is no need for accuracy, only large-scale killing is required.

The winch on both sides is the easiest cross twist to wind. Two powerful soldiers need to pull them at the same time to cooperate with each other. Moreover, the winding and the archer are not in conflict, and each one does its own responsibility.

Only a squeaking sound was heard. Ma Jun waved the red flag, and only a clattering sound was heard. Five bee crossbows shot out at the same time. One and fifty iron crossbow arrows were like a group of locusts, rushing densely towards the grass man and horse outside the steps, and in the distance, a group of people were tilted up and overturned.

"Come again"

Ma Jun shouted loudly, and the green flag waved. The brothers were skillful and quick, and they rolled the strings, put the arrow box, and fired them almost in one go. Another rain of arrows shot out, shooting out five rounds in a row. Liu Jing plotted in his mind. The cavalry had already reached ten steps away. He shouted: "Stop."

The bee crossbow stopped shooting, and Liu Jing led several guards to gallop up and came to Yu Ming, Cao Hu, and saw that the grass Hu cavalry had been shot in a mess. The body, the war horses and shields were filled with iron crossbow arrows. This iron crossbow arrow was indeed powerful, and all leather armor and shields were shot through. Liu Jing couldn't help but nodded. He was very satisfied with the result.

At this time, a guard handed a shield to Liu Jing and said, "Your Highness, this shield is a bit strange."

Liu Jing took the shield and looked at it. The shield was very thin, just made of two ordinary wooden boards. Like the Qiang people's shield, it is the oldest type of shield. It is far from the complex shield of the Han army and cannot withstand the impact of the iron crossbow arrows at all.

Ma Jun stepped forward and smiled, "The Huns do not use shields. They mainly have double-layer leather armor, and war horses are also wearing armor. A shield is placed here just to increase the difficulty of experimenting."

But what Liu Jing thought of was not the shield of the Huns. He considered the Cao army. He had taken a shield from the Han army. This was also a duplex shield developed by the craftsmen a year ago. The Cao army also imitated it and made it in large quantities. The shields of the Han and Cao armies were exactly the same.

This kind of compound shield is made of solid hardwood as the base, covered with raw cowhide, and is repeatedly wrapped with an oil-soaked cloth, then placed in the oil and soaked continuously and dried. It takes half a year to make a shield, and it is generally difficult for arrows to penetrate.

Liu Jing frowned and asked Ma Jun who came forward, "What would happen if it were the shield of the Han army or Cao army?"

Ma Jun shook his head, "The casualties will be greatly reduced."

Ma Jun saw that Liu Jing was a little unhappy and quickly explained: "Your Highness, the range of killing and shooting is not easy. Even if it is a strong crossbow, it is difficult to penetrate the white hair at the end of fifty steps. The bee crossbow uses iron crossbow arrows. It uses its own weight to break through for a long time. Besides, we are developing it for the Mihu cavalry, which can penetrate two layers of leather armor. Moreover, the Mihu cavalry does not use shields, so your highness does not need to worry too much."

Liu Jing smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, it can be manufactured on a large scale, how long does it take to build two thousand units?"

"Report to your Highness, we have the strong strength to build wooden cows, and it only takes four months to get two thousand units."

Liu Jing nodded, "That's the decision. Captain Ma please submit an application to Pingzhang Platform as soon as possible. I will ask them to give special approval and start construction as soon as possible."

"There is a good minister"

Liu Jing picked up another crossbow arrow and smiled: "I am very interested in this kind of iron crossbow arrow. Please consider how we can penetrate Cao's duplex shield, and we can also brainstorm in the Ordnance Academy. I will reward him with two golds first for the first to come up with an effective solution."

Ma Jun looked back at the students watching around him and nodded, "Your Highness makes sense. Using heavy rewards to inspire innovation is also a good way. I will open the reward plan in the Ordnance Academy."

Liu Jing patted Ma Jun on the shoulder and walked back quickly. He turned over to the horse and said to Ma Jun from afar: "Looking forward to the good news from Captain Ma."

He turned his horse's head, and under the escort of several guards, he rode his horse out of the ordnance courtyard, and soon ran out of the gate. Ma Jun looked at the iron crossbow arrow in his hand again, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

A carriage was slowly walking on Yedu Street, followed by more than a dozen cavalry guards on both sides, and pedestrians on both sides threw a gaze at the carriage. A white flag with a horn was inserted into the carriage, and a black letter from the Censorate was written on it, which represented great authority.

An official car drove across the street and met on the crowded street. The official cart on the opposite side immediately avoided the surrender and asked the carriage from the Censorate to go first. In the carriage, Yang Tian leaned against the wall of the carriage and looked at the carriage opposite through the curtain. It was the carriage from the Honglu Temple. He was afraid of his authority and took the initiative to avoid it. This made Yang Tian feel very proud. He liked the feeling of being respected and given up.

It has been a day since Yang Tian was transferred back to Yedu to serve as the Chief Censor of the Censor. He still felt like he was dreaming. Two months ago, he was a small person who exchanged fake gold in Chengdu South City. In a blink of an eye, he became a high-ranking official of the Wei State, holding the power of supervision. The wonderful life experience is nothing more than this.

But Yang Tian also knew that pie would not fall from the sky for nothing. The turning point of his fate was one morning two months ago. He met a special guest, King Liu Jing of Han. It was the appearance of King Liu Jing of Han that completely changed his destiny.

At this time, he was like a kite flying in the sky. No matter how glorious he was, the thread that involved his fate was still in the hands of the King of Han. This made Yang Tian feel helpless. It seemed that Liu Jing's teachings to him when he passed by Guanzhong were still echoing in his ears. You can be at ease in Wei State. I will make you a high-ranking official in Wei State. I will not reveal you and let you go step by step, but you cannot forget your roots. If one day you forget your true identity, you will fall from the clouds to the eighteen levels of hell from the clouds to the eighteen levels of hell.

Yang Tian sighed softly. He knew that he would become the highest-level detective in the Han Dynasty who was planted in Wei State. Although he was unwilling, he could no longer help. At this time, the carriage slowly stopped and a soldier said, "Yang Zhongcheng, you have arrived at the eldest son's mansion."

Yang Tian looked over and saw that he had indeed arrived at Cao Pi's mansion. He got off the carriage and walked quickly towards the gate. A guard came forward and said, "You are waiting for the Chief, please follow me."

Yang Tian nodded and followed the guards to the mansion. He had met Cao Pi the day before yesterday. Today, Cao Pi had something to look for him, which made him feel a little nervous. As soon as he arrived at Cao Pi's outer study room, Cao Pi should have been in the official room of Ye Palace at this time, but today he met him in his mansion. Yang Tian realized that there must be something private to look for him.

As soon as he arrived at the study room, the guards reported at the door, "Qi Gong, Yang Zhongcheng is here."

"Please come in"

Cao Pi's voice came from the room. It seemed that he was in a good mood. Yang Tian quickly tidied up his clothes and walked into the room quickly. In the room, Cao Pi was sitting behind the table to review the memorials. Yang Tian hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to pay homage, "I'm in charge of the Prime Minister."

Cao Pi put down his pen and said with a smile: "No gift"

"Thank you Prime Minister."

Yang Tian sat upright and looked at Cao Pi nervously. Cao Pi felt his nervousness and asked with a smile: "Have you familiar with the Censorate these days?"

"Thank you Cheng for your concern, I'm already familiar with it."

Cao Pi nodded, "Yang Zhongcheng was originally responsible for local supervision, but now the real power of local supervision is in the hands of my brother, and you can't insert it, so I report to Mr. Wei and replace you with the supervisor, but you have to understand that this part is still a false position, and the real power is not in your hands."

Yang Tian was silent. He knew Cao Pi's meaning. The real power of the inspector was in the hands of Mr. Wei. He bypassed the Censorate and established school affairs, and used several school affairs officials to supervise the capital, including military officers. The Censorate only had nominal supervision power.

Cao Pi smiled and said, "Although the real power is in the hands of Duke Wei, it does not mean that you, the Chief Censor, are just a decoration. In fact, you can also exercise the power of supervision. These are two different supervision agencies. The Censorate is in the open and the school affairs are in the secret. You can supervise and impeach, and the school affairs can only report to Duke Wei secretly, especially if you are me recommending Duke Wei. In a certain way, Duke Wei will appropriately delegate power to the Censorate. Do you understand?"

"I understand that this is the love of the minister compared to the gentleman."

Cao Pi was very satisfied with Yang Tian’s name. He took out a thick stack of files and handed them to Yang Tian, ​​"This is a major case discovered more than ten days ago, involving Yang Biao and Cui Lin’s affair with the Han Dynasty. But I had to impeach it through the Censorate, but there was no one in the Censorate at that time, so I could only wait for you to come. Now the conditions are ripe, so this is the first major case you handle."

Yang Tian was shocked. He remembered what Liu Jing said, "After you return to Beijing, Cao Pi will soon hand over a major case to you, and you must do your best to do it."

It turned out that Liu Jing's words were on this matter. It seemed that Cao Pi and Liu Jing had a tacit understanding. He took the file and flipped it casually, and he was even more shocked. It was indeed Yang Xun's secret visit to Chengdu. Finally, the case happened. He was a little embarrassed. After all, he was considered the Yang family of Hongnong. How could he explain to the family to the head of the family like this?

Cao Pi looked at him, saw the dilemma in Yang Tian's eyes, and asked coldly: "Are you unwilling to take over this case?"

Yang Tian was so scared that he was shocked and said quickly: "I don't dare."

"Since that's the case, just do it well. I believe that the Wei Gong Association appreciates your act of destroying relatives for justice. This is your first step to becoming successful. It depends on whether you can seize this opportunity."

Yang Tian sighed in his heart. At this point, he could no longer choose. He made up his mind and kowtowed, "I will do my best."

Cao Pi showed a smile on his face and nodded, "Go and break through from Yang Xun. He has been cleaned up and obeyed. He will cooperate with you and don't let me down."

"There is a good minister"
