"Zhuge Liang knew the term gunpowder? He also knew that gunpowder was the formula of 1 nitr, disulfide and 3 charcoal? This..., how is this possible?"

After listening to Xun Chen's report, he screamed in shock. Deputy Director Tao almost thought that Zhuge Liang was like him, from the future time traveler, but after careful calculation, Deputy Director Tao beat his chest and stamped his feet, screaming in anger: "It's a lewd retribution! There must be something wrong with that little girl Huang Shuo! When the little girl was in Xuzhou, she insisted on learning the flying musket. I seemed to have missed my mouth by accident and told her the formula of gunpowder in front of her!"

"Lord, except gunpowder, have you told Miss Huang Shuo the complete formula of the flying musket?" Liu Ye, who is good at making weapons, jumped up and said nervously: "If so, then we have to guard against the enemy suddenly using the flying musket on the battlefield!"

Deputy Director Tao recalled the past carefully, remembering that when Huang Shuo begged him to learn about the flying musket, he refused to agree on the excuse of military secrets. As a result, the little girl caught her weakness in character, acted coquettishly, kissed, and offered to sacrifice herself. She was so pestered that she had no choice but to say, "I can only tell you that the flying musket is made of gunpowder, and I can't say anything else. When Huang Shuo asked what the gunpowder was, he touched the girl's chest while casually saying "One-small," and "One-small," and "One-small," and "One-small," and "One-small," and "One-small," and "One-small," and "One-small," and "One-small," and "One-small," and "One-small," and "One-small," and "One-small," and "One-small," and "One-small," and "One-small," and "One-small," and "One-small," was interrupted by the guards who reported the matter, and he couldn't continue.

Thinking of this, Deputy Director Tao nodded and said, "No, absolutely not. I just said casually that gunpowder is 100, 2024 sulphur and 30 charcoal, and I didn't say much about the other words. It is probably because Huang Shuo, the little girl who loves technology and is obsessed with it, and she made gunpowder based on this sentence, and there was a problem."

"Fortunately, fortunately, the complete recipe of the Flying Musket was not leaked, otherwise the trouble would be great." Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief - although the Flying Musket is actually a large hand-held firework. In addition to arsoning and disturbing the enemy, its power is actually pitifully small, but the sudden use of the enemy on the battlefield still has a great impact on the morale of the Xuzhou army.

"It's not necessarily Miss Huang Shuo." Jia Lao's poisonous substance concealed the false pretext for Deputy Director Tao, who was lustful and misleading, and said: "Don't forget. Our army has helped Cao Mengde's recipe for the fire gun. Perhaps it's not necessarily because Cao's army has a problem."

"It's definitely that girl." Deputy Director Tao said gritted his teeth: "I told Cao Zhe's recipe for gunpowder, but I didn't tell Cao Zhe's term gunpowder. Zhuge Liang knew both the term gunpowder and the formula, so there must be something wrong with Huang Shuo's girl. Stinky girl. Dare to ruin my big trouble. When we meet next time, let's see how I deal with you!"

No matter how much regret and gritting teeth, it was useless. Because of Deputy Director Tao's lust and leaking, Jia Lao Poison's carefully arranged bluffing plan ended in an accident. Not only did he not deceive Yuan Tanjun into the turtle shell, but he also took part in some military aircraft of the Xuzhou army. This way, it was definitely the first time for Deputy Director Tao and Jia Lao Poison, for the rape and drug combination. In shame and disappointment, Deputy Director Tao had to make another idea. He asked Liu Ye: "Mr. Ziyang, our army sent a scout to Xuchang to explore the enemy situation, can there be any news to return?"

"There's it." Liu Ye replied: "Our army made a detailed report. On July 12th, after Yuan Tan led his army north. Xuchang immediately martial law was imposed throughout the city, and the city gate was only open for two hours a day. The soldiers and civilians who entered the city had to carefully investigate their identities. If there were any doubts, they were refused entry into the city. Therefore, our army has not even been able to get in. Fortunately, our army had arranged some details in the Yuan Tan army before. One of them took advantage of the opportunity to patrol the city and reported to our army the situation of the defenders in the city. At present, there are about 16,000 defenders in Xuchang City, and the generals are mainly Xin Ping and Cen Bi."

Deputy Director Tao frowned because Deputy Director Tao was very clear about the city defense situation in Xuchang. Although the city was not large and could not station more than 30,000 troops, the city was extremely difficult to build. Even if the Xuzhou army divided its troops to capture Xuchang, it would be difficult to be sure to quickly break through the city from the front. After thinking about this, Deputy Director Tao could not help but regret his previous inadequate considerations - if he had taken advantage of the opportunity to settle in Xuchang before, how good would it be to dig a few tunnels that went straight to the outside of the city?

There was no way to attack Xuchang, so Deputy Director Tao, who had always been fickle, had to turn his lustful eyes to the north to fight the high-ranking officials and Jiang Yiqu. However, what made Deputy Director Tao depressed was that after the high-ranking officials and Jiang Yiqu retreated from Yecheng, he stopped just by withdrawing Liyang and Puyang, and no longer went south to join the Guandu battlefield. He also restrained the counterattack team of Chen Dao's side division and Yuan Shangjun of Xuzhou Army, and blocked the way for Xuzhou generals Hou Cheng and Sun Guan to reinforce Guandu. At the same time, because Prince Yuan Shang was stingy and sent only 20,000 troops to chase Dangyin, Chen Dao's side division did not have any advantage in the flanking battlefield, and could only station in Lihu to monitor Gao Dao and Jiang Yiqu. The possibility of using the side division to defeat the main force of the enemy's northern line was very small.

There was no other way. Although he was not sure, after careful preparation, Deputy Director Tao organized a tentative attack. Relying on the advantage of many soldiers and widespread generals, he dispatched more than 50,000 troops to attack Yuan Tan's Guandu camp in one breath, trying to destroy the periphery of Yuan Tan's camp, and opened an attack gap to the south of Yuan Tan's camp, which was relatively open, and then completely destroyed Yuan Tan's turtle shell.

The war drums were ringing, and the Xuzhou army, which were lined up in formation, sent waves of infantry attacking the battalion, like a flood of rivers, rushing towards Yuan Tan's camp one after another. The sound of war drums was earth-shaking, and the shouts of killing came one after another, with a very shocking momentum. The heads on the ground were like ants, arrows in the sky were like locusts, and huge stone bullets roared back and forth, smashing into the enemy group with a thousand pounds. The scene was spectacular - but it was useless.

It is indeed useless. Yuan Tan's military officers who were in charge of two monsters Zhuge Liang and Hao Zhao were definitely the top in defense at that time. When Xuzhou soldiers rushed to the front of Yuan's military camp, they had to face the threat of Yuan's slashing aircraft first, followed by a three-dimensional attack of powerful crossbows, strong bows and hand crossbows. They had to be careful of the wide and deep trenches under their feet, and there were cold arrows suddenly shot from the opposite sheep and horse wall. They barely crossed the trenches, and had to first destroy the dense antlers to resist horses before they could get close to the sheep and horse wall. Basically, when a soldier could touch the sheep and horse wall, they were shot almost the same as a hedgehog. Not to mention the solid fence behind the sheep and horse wall. Therefore, although the offensive of Xuzhou's army was fierce, it was basically useless and wasted in vain.

The Xiangyang cannon, which was once rampant in the Xuzhou army, was completely suppressed by the Xiangyang cannons imitated by Yuan Tan's army. The Xiangyang cannon built by Hao Zhao allowed Yuan Tan's army to hit the stone shells farther from a high point, and the range was overwhelming the Xiangyang cannons of Xuzhou army fired on the ground. The first built ring camp cannons was flat and hard, which could greatly accelerate the movement speed of the bulky Xiangyang cannons. They formed the advantage of local attacks with more hits less, and more effectively bombarded the Xiangyang cannon positions of the Xuzhou army. Therefore, although the Xuzhou army was the pioneer of the Xiangyang cannon, they ended up at a disadvantage in the stone throwing battle.

Seeing this situation on the height of the earthen mountain, Deputy Director Tao also died and used the original pine cannon to scare the enemy's mind. He began to curse his old lover Huang Shuo who had a few nights of feasting, and leaked the most critical secrets, destroying the best chance of his own army luring the enemy out of the camp to fight. The poisonous Jia Lao, Liu Ye, Shi Yi and others next to him were helpless and could not think of any good way to quickly smash Yuan Tanjun's turtle shell.

After losing about seven or eight hundred troops and losing eighty-nine Xiangyang artillery, Deputy Director Tao, who had no hope of breaking the enemy camp, decisively ordered the sound of the gold and let the soldiers withdraw from the battlefield. After the gong sounded, the soldiers of the Xuzhou army, who were pressed by Yuan Tan's arrows, were as if they were amnesty, and quickly helped or carried their injured companions to retreat. Many Xuzhou soldiers who were under the range of Yuan Tan's crossbows simply crawled to outside the range before they dared to get up. The embarrassing appearance made Yuan Tan's army laugh up, and also attracted more crossbows to chase them. Zhang Fei used a strong bow to shoot a crawling Xuzhou soldier nailed to the ground and screamed in pain. Zhang Fei laughed the loudest, and kept yelling and provoking the Xuzhou army. He asked the Xuzhou army to attack the camp again.

Of course, Deputy Director Tao ignored Mr. Zhang San's provocation. First, it was too far away to hear it. Second, after the attacking battalion team retreated, Yin Li, the general who was in charge of command, immediately hurried to Deputy Director Tao. Without time to wipe away the dust and stains on his face, he presented a bloodless feather arrow to Deputy Director Tao with both hands and said, "My lord, please see, the enemy also has our Fengyu arrow."

Deputy Director Tao's face was gloomy. He took the featherless arrow and found that the shaft was thicker and shorter, obviously fired by a crossbow, with no feathers at the tail, and only two deep grooves were opened, which was obviously made by the Fengyu Army, a Fengyu Army that was imitating the Fengyu Army. Liu Ye next to him was a little surprised and said, "Why are there Fengyu arrows there in Yuan Tan? I remember that our army has never reported this matter in detail?"

"It must be a good thing done by Big Ear Thieves or Zhuge Liang." Deputy Director Tao Yinyin said: "It seems that Big Ear Thieves and Zhuge Liang have studied our army very carefully."

"Lord, not just that." Yin Li said quickly: "The brothers who were hit this arrow and many brothers who were hit the arrow are now twitching in their limbs, their mouths and tongues are crooked, and they can't even speak. The wounds of the arrows have changed color, and there seems to be strangeness on the arrows."

"What?!"

Deputy Director Tao was shocked and quickly looked at the arrow again. When he found that there was a blood-soaked twine on the triangular arrowhead with no feathers. Seeing this twine, Deputy Director Tao was also furious and roared: "Poison Arrow! Soak the twine in poison juice, then take it out and dry it, tie it to the arrowhead, and shoot it to the person to poison it! This is the most raw material and most effective method of making poisonous arrows! Zhuge Villageman! It's you again! It's you again!"

Jia Lao Poison, Liu Ye and others were secretly shocked, and then they realized that Deputy Director Tao had been wary of Zhuge Liang for a long time and was aimless! Deputy Director Tao shouted again: "The limbs were twitching, the mouth and tongue were crooked and unable to speak, 90% of them were poisonous to the aconite! Hurry up, arrange people to go back to the camp immediately and cook more mung bean soup! General Yin Li, you immediately organize people to rescue the wounded soldiers who were poisoned arrows, drink more water, carefully clean the wound with clean water, and drink mung bean soup after being sent back to the camp immediately, and then ask the doctor to treat it!"

Yin Li took the order and hurried away, and a guard rushed back to the camp to pass the order. It was at this time that Jia Lao Poison bowed to Deputy Director Tao and said, "Lord, this should be the enemy's plan to attack the heart. He shot our army with poison arrows for the first time in battle. The purpose was to intimidate our soldiers and dissipate our army's morale, so that our soldiers were afraid of poisoning and would not dare to move forward next time."

"Zhuge Villager's old tricks are used first on our army." Deputy Director Tao said an absolutely contradictory thing, which made Lao Poison and others doubt whether Deputy Director Tao's enlightenment was too early to die.

At this time, all the Xuzhou soldiers who attacked the enemy camp had retreated to their own camp. In order to win time for rescue, Deputy Director Tao did not immediately order to withdraw the troops. He just arranged personnel to assist Yin Li's team in rescuing his own wounded soldiers who were poisoned arrows, and led the army to continue to be on guard against the Yuan Tan army to pursue the camp by taking advantage of the victory. However, Yuan Tan's army was determined to stick to it. Even if they repelled the attack of the Xuzhou army, they would not leave the camp to expand the results. The two armies were less than two miles apart and each was at peace.

Seeing that Yuan Tanjun refused to leave the camp, Deputy Director Tao was planning to go down to inquire about the poisoned wounded soldiers, Prince Yuan Tan's flag appeared next to the fence of Yuan Jun's camp. Apart from each other, Deputy Director Tao was too lazy to pay attention to it. Xun Chen next to him turned to the guards behind him and shouted: "Who among you has seen Guo Tu and Guo Gongze? Can you tell his appearance in the crowd?"

While the guards looked at each other, Li Lang, the captain behind Changshi Yang who was yawning, jumped out and said with a smile: "The villain has seen him. The villain has not only seen Guo Tu, but also tied Guo Tu's old man for Lord Yang. He kicked him a few times on his butt, and he knew him even if he turned into a gray villain."

"Okay!" Xun Chen was overjoyed and quickly got off the horse and handed his telescope to Li Lang, ordering him: "Ride my horse and go nearby and see if there is this person under Yuan Tan's handsome flag! I'll ask the lord for you to reward you."

The veteran Youzi Li Lang happily agreed and quickly came over to investigate the situation. It was at this time that Deputy Director Tao asked Xun Chen what the purpose of this move was? Xun Chen replied in a deep voice: "Don't blame me, lord, Chen should have reported this to you for a long time, but the matter was too abrupt, and Chen dared not determine whether his suspicion was true. Therefore, he never reported it to him."

As he said that, when Xun Chen entered Yuan Tan's army camp, he carefully introduced the abnormal situation about Guo Tu to Deputy Director Tao, and then said: "Lord must have heard of it. Guo Tu has always been Yuan Tan's number one confidant. In front of Yuan Tan, Xin Ping's position was not as good as Guo Tu. However, when Chen met Yuan Tan for a long time, he saw Yuan Tan scolding Guo Tu, with a very rude attitude. Chen felt suspicious, so he arranged for people to observe the movement."

Deputy Director Tao, Jia Lao Poison and others looked at each other, and they also felt that this matter was a bit strange. Then Deputy Director Tao asked Xun Chen: "Does Mr. Youruo suspect that Guo Tu has fallen out of favor in front of Yuan Tan?"

"If Yuan Tan's scolding Guo Tu is not acting, there is only this explanation." Xun Chen shrugged and replied, and then he rarely showed some sneering smiles that were extremely similar to Deputy Director Tao, saying: "Guo Tu has always been Yuan Tan's number one confidant. Even if he fell out of favor, he has many followers in Yuan Tan's team and has a huge impact. If our army can pull him over..."

"Pull Guo Tu over?" Deputy Director Tao did not laugh, but just planned the possibility of recruiting Guo Tu. Judging from his previous friendship, Deputy Director Tao wanted to surrender Guo Tu and even developed Guo Tu into an insider, which was simply a dream - because Mr. Guo Tu's holiday with the Xuzhou army was too deep.

However, it is not impossible, because Mr. Guo Tu and the Xuzhou army had a lesser-known cooperation. After the First Guandu War, Mr. Guo Tu, who was sent to Xuzhou to die by Mr. Yuan Shang and Shen Pei, in order to survive, secretly helped the Xuzhou army to win 80% of the land in Qingzhou through negotiations! This means that as long as it is related to Mr. Guo Tu's fundamental interests, the Xuzhou army is not completely unlucky to cooperate with Guo Tu again! After thinking about this, although he did not have much expectations, he knew that he was lucky to be the same as Mr. Cao, but Deputy Director Tao still ignited a glimmer of hope and began to look forward to the reconnaissance news of the veteran Youzi Li Lang.

He rode his horse to the periphery of Yuan Tan's army camp, then got off the horse, and then walked and crawled to the vicinity. He first covered his vital points with his body, and then used the primitive telescope to reconnaissance for nearly a quarter of an hour before Li Lang climbed up and returned to investigate the results of Xun Chen and Deputy Director Tao, "Report to lord, Lord Xun, the villain saw Guo Tu and followed Yuan Tan's husband. He read that right. When the villain followed Shu Hou to Jizhou, he had also seen Yuan Tan, and he would never admit his mistake."

Xun Chen was disappointed, and Deputy Director Tao was completely disappointed, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the biggest difference between me and Cao Zhei is that I am not as lucky as him."

Jia Lao Poison and Liu Ye and others smiled bitterly, and they all envied Boss Cao for his good luck in the Battle of Guandu. However, the veteran Youzi Li Lang added, saying, "Lord, there is one thing that is very strange, unlike when the villain met Yuan Tan and Guo Tu."

"What's the difference?" Deputy Director Tao asked casually.

"When the villain met Yuan Tan and Guo Tu, Guo Tu usually stood behind the right side of Yuan Tan's husband, just like when Lord Yang took the villain and Wang Wu out, the villain followed him." Li Lang, who had a good memory, first gestured at the position - similar to the position where Jia Lao Poisoned Poison was standing when Deputy Director Tao and Jia Lao Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned Poisoned

"You have even seen a big-eared thief?" Deputy Director Tao was stunned and interrupted and asked quickly.

"Lord forgot? When the villain followed Lord Yang, General Gongming and his military advisor to escort the troops south, he had seen the big-eared thief in Runan." Li Lang replied with a smile.

"Yes, in terms of how widespread people are, I'm afraid I'm not as good as you." Deputy Director Tao praised. When Li Lang was humble, Deputy Director Tao asked quickly: "So where was he standing in Yuan Tan when you saw Guo Tu?"

"Behind the butt, there are several military generals in the middle." Li Lang replied: "By the way, the villain was there for a long time, but he didn't see Yuan Tan turn around and say a word to Guo Tu. He only saw Yuan Tan keep talking to the big-eared thief, the dead cripple, and the middle-aged literati whom he didn't know."

"The cripple must be Zhuge Liang, and the middle-aged literati should be Cui Yan and Cui Jigui." Liu Ye, who was in charge of intelligence, said in a deep voice: "Cui Yan is a famous scholar in Jizhou and a strategist recruited by Yuan Shao after the last Guandu War. Although this person is very talented and has a profound strategy, he could not imagine that he could squeeze out Guo Tu's position so quickly."

"I remembered it." Xun Chen exclaimed: "When I entered Yuan Tan's tent a few days ago, Yuan Tan's attitude towards Cui Yan was obviously much better. When I almost succeeded, Yuan Tan also sought Cui Yan's opinions first and then decided to persuade me to surrender. At that time, Guo Tu also advised Yuan Tan to accept my surrender, but Yuan Tan did not listen at all."

"Is it really an opportunity?" Deputy Director Tao began to be moved again. After a little calculation, Deputy Director Tao ordered: "Get out the troops and return to the camp, and then send the entire army to the patrol. When going out to patrol, try to get back to the scouts who arrested a few enemy soldiers. Whoever catches the living will be rewarded. By the way, I will give our model veteran Li Lang a merit and give him a reward according to the rules."

When Deputy Director Tao was thinking about Mr. Guo Tu, some people were thinking about Deputy Director Tao, at least after accompanying Yuan Tan, Liu Huangshu and others to comfort the soldiers injured in the battle, Zhuge Liang did not immediately follow Yuan Tan, Liu Huangshu and others to go back to the tent to drink and celebrate. He found an excuse to stay where he was, and limped to the fence, looking at the slowly retreating Xuzhou army, thinking about something.

"The Xuzhou bandit soldier ran and crawled near to peek at the situation in our military camp. What was he going to do? He didn't seem to be an ordinary scout exploration? Moreover, his armor was brilliant, not an ordinary scout soldier. What was he going to do? I remember my father-in-law said that there was something called Qianlijing in the Xuzhou bandit army, which could make people see far away. If the Xuzhou bandit army, with brilliant armor, also had Qianlijing in his hand, he could see the situation of my lord and Jihou inspecting the positions. What was he exploring?"
