…

Over here, under the city of Hefei, war is raging...the sky is stained with blood.

Over there, the night in Changsha County was unusually peaceful.

Guan Lin had a sexual dream, dreaming that a woman was thinking about his body...

There is not just one, there are at least three, and they are all young girls.

One is that when you put on the armor, you can ride on a horse on the battlefield, and when you take off the armor, you can store it in the bridal chamber.

One is an unruly princess who can make everything inside and outside the house look completely out of place. She is also very arrogant.

One is peace-loving Mu Mu Chunshan, a quiet princess who keeps her home in order...

All in all, different styles. Guan Lin especially remembered that when he slapped the unruly princess in the face, the unruly princess immediately became honest and cooperated.

This can be regarded as a game in a dream...

When he woke up from the dream, it was already dawn, and Guan Lin discovered that...he was still careless in his adolescence...there was still something left in the spring dream last night!

Guan Lin couldn't help but shook his head, it was such a bad and embarrassing feeling.

He said to himself...

"Why are you having erotic dreams?"

Mi Yang, who was waiting outside the door, seemed to have heard the movement inside the house, and quickly reminded him: "Mr. Han just sent someone to send a message, saying that the guests from Jiaozhou have arrived. When the Fourth Young Master wakes up, let me inform the Fourth Young Master."

"Oh..." Guan Lin nodded...

He quickly put on some clothes, wiped himself quickly, put on his pants...then opened the door and ordered:

"Walk…"

…

There was a banquet at Han Xuan's house. Han Xuan, Gong Zhi, and a visitor from Jiaozhou were sitting here kneeling.

This visitor from Jiaozhou is not young, he is over seventy, but he has a fairy-like appearance and is well maintained, especially the goat's whiskers, which hang down neatly, showing that he is not of his age.

That unique spirit and precipitation.

Han Xuan smiled and said: "I never thought that Mr. Shi would come so quickly. I just sent someone to invite him. The Fourth Master Guan is still awake, so I'm afraid he might..."

This visitor from Jiaozhou didn't mind, and while stroking his beard, he said: "I came here at starry night, which is a bit rude. Since I have something to ask of the Fourth Young Master from Jiaozhou, why not wait?"

at this time.

——"The Fourth Young Master Guan has arrived."

Following the announcement, Guan Lin strode in. He still felt something strange in his kidneys. This feeling is something that all adolescent men... understand!

He noticed Han Xuan, Gong Zhi, and also noticed the immortal old man.

Guan Lin was uncharacteristically modest and said: "This junior has met Mr. Han, and this..."

Before Guan Lin could ask questions, Han Xuan quickly introduced him, "This is Mr. Xie Shi, the governor of the Seventh County of Jiaozhou!"

Ouch…

As soon as he said this, Guan Lin's heart skipped a beat, and there was nothing strange about his kidneys!

His eyes looked straight at Shi Xie...

I muttered in my heart.

——"This is the living god of the Yue Kingdom? The famous 'turtle'... Oh no, it's the famous Shi Xie? Really, he's alive..."

Thinking this in his heart, Guan Lin bowed respectfully and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Shi would actually come to Jiaozhou in person. The younger generation Guan Lin has admired Mr.'s name for a long time. Today I saw Mr. Such an immortal demeanor. I couldn't help but sigh. Is there really a living god in this world?"

!”

No wonder Guan Lin paid such a heavy courtesy.

This Shixie is at least three generations older than Guanlin...

When future generations see him, they are always in the temple. Worshiping him... can bless him with a long life.

It was Guan Lin's courtesy that surprised Shi Xie.

——"Isn't this Fourth Young Master always at odds with his father, Guan Gong? How can he be... so polite?"

With such a free heart, Shi Xie returned the gift without losing etiquette: "I don't dare to be so generous as the Fourth Master Guan..."

"Guan Lin is a junior, so this courtesy is due." Guan Lin responded with a smile... Needless to say, after going back and forth, the relationship between the two got a lot closer.

At first, Han Xuan was worried that the incident at Guanshan Cave in Changsha would not cause tension between the two of them when they met.

it's good now…

"Hahaha..." Han Xuan immediately laughed and said: "The two of them, one old and one young, although they are very different in age, they are both the best among men!"

After some greetings, Han Xuan sat in the main seat, while Guan Lin and Shi Xie knelt and sat on the bamboo mats on both sides.

Gong Zhi got up wisely, poured tea for the three of them himself, and then called his servants to leave together, leaving the room to the three of them.

Guan Lin did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I heard from Han Gong that Soochow did not respect martial ethics and Jiaozhou was already a vassal state, but it sent troops to fight on its own in an attempt to take over Jiaozhou under the rule of Mr. Seventh Generation.

I, Guan Lin, can't stand this kind of bullying behavior.

Guan Lin's words blurted out, and Shi Xie also replied: "The world is bustling, and it is difficult to find a place to avoid chaos. In troubled times, the only way to avoid it is to take refuge... I have never argued with others in my life. Ever since Soochow became big, whatever he wants, I will

Jiaozhou will give you whatever you want. I only hope that I can exchange it for the peace and contentment of the people of Jiaozhou and the peace and security of my family. Unfortunately... the current situation has forced me and Jiaozhou to be involved in this war.

…To be honest, Fourth Young Master, the Lu family’s army went on an expedition, and our Nanhai and Cangwu counties… have been devastated, and many people have died!”

Guan Lin can hear it.

Shi Xie said this, not just pretending...

It really comes from my feelings.

He is a person who "avoids temporary chaos and seeks long-term stability."

Tracing back to its origin, the war between Soochow and Jiaozhou was a dispute caused by Guan Lin's batch of ordnance.

There is also the demarcation of the Xiangshui River...

If it weren't for the agreement on demarcating the Xiangshui River, it would have been an empty talk, and if it weren't for the dispute between Jiaozhou and the Lu family about weapons and arms.

Jiaozhou will definitely continue to be a vassal state of Soochow, and it will not be bloody suppressed and massacred by Sun Quan until Shi Xie dies...

but…

From Guan Lin's point of view, he doesn't need to feel guilty.

For the scholar family, they will be slaughtered by Sun Quan sooner or later. The sooner they can wake up and resist... fight back, this is the right way.

In this sense, Guan Lin is a good person and a good deed!

"Ahem..."

After coughing slightly, Guan Lin asked solemnly: "I'm going back to Jiangling tomorrow. I'm going to meet my husband today. To make a long story short... you want to buy ordnance, right?"

"Fourth Young Master is very cheerful. I have nothing to hide." Shi Xie nodded seriously. "Yes, now I, Jiaozhou, need a large amount of ordnance that can defend against the enemy."

"For example, what about repeating crossbows, side carriages, and wooden oxen and flowing horses?" Guan Lin asked next.

"Yes!" Shi Xie nodded.

Guan Lin shook his head, "These ordnance, manufactured by Huang Laoxie, are actually used to defend against the northern cavalry. There are many infantry and navy troops in Eastern Wu, so sidecars are of no use at all. The range of a continuous crossbow is limited, so

It is impossible to defend the enemy from outside the country. As for... wooden cows and flowing horses, with all due respect, the war is in Jiaozhou, and Soochow needs wooden cows and flowing horses more than you guys... to transport grain, grass and supplies!"

this…

Guan Lin's words seemed to pour cold water on Shi Xie.

Shi Xie's eyes narrowed deeply, "Then..."

"This..." Guan Lin took out something from the package, which was a simple model of a bed crossbow. "Does Mr. Shi recognize this?"

Before Shi Xie could say anything...

Han Xuandang first said: "Isn't this a bed crossbow?"

"Exactly." Guan Lin replied with a smile, "However, this model of mine is rather special. It's called Ba Niu bed crossbow!"

As Guan Lin said, his model is a bed crossbow, but it is not just a bed crossbow.

You should know that the bed crossbow first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was mounted by a winch and had a long range, but its accuracy was poor. It usually used large-scale salvo tactics.

In the Han Dynasty, the bed crossbow was improved to a certain extent.

For example, Taiwei Chen Qiu once said in a war, "The bow was made of a big piece of wood, and the arrow was made of a feathered spear. He used the opportunity to fire it, and he shot more than a thousand steps from a distance, killing many people!"

This kind of crossbow, which can only be broken by hand and cannot be opened with the force of foot, is the Han version of bed crossbow.

And Guan Lin's one is a hundred times more powerful than the Han version of the bed crossbow.

Speaking of which, there are many categories of bed crossbows, ranging from two bows to four bows.
