Chapter 202 Reaper
In late August, major news came into the main city of Huaxia City.
Many civil and military personnel stood left and right, and a guard was standing respectfully at this time. It can be seen that the people in the entire meeting hall were not very good-looking.
"What did you say? Zhang Jiao died suddenly! Zhang Liang took over his post and fought against Huangfu Song's army against Guangzong?"
The guard said truthfully: "Yes, according to the news from the front, Zhang Jiao has died of sudden illness for several days."
Zhang Jiao died of illness. There are two reasons in history. One may lead so many people to revolt, but they cannot bear it, so they died of overwork. The other may be because they have to get peace and have a strange intention to die of illness. But none of these matters, he is already dead.
Although Qing Cang knew that Zhang Jiao would die in the end, he was shocked to know the news after his death. He asked, "What do you think of this matter?"
Guo Jia took the lead and said: "There is one of the three commanders of the Yellow Turbans, and their basis for their rebellion is based on the three generals of heaven, earth, and man. They are organized in religious form. Now that a general of the Heavenly King is missing, it will inevitably have some impact on the Yellow Turbans. In other words, it has a greater impact on morale. Perhaps some people will ask whether their justice is possessed and even the bishop is dead, how long will it last in the future? In the long run, the Yellow Turbans will definitely fail. If they fail, it is not a good thing for us."
Xu Xun said: "I agree with Staff Guo's view that at that time, Guangzong will be in danger and Xiaquyang will be in danger. In this way, how can there be peace under the collapse of the nest, and our Huaxia City will also fall into danger."
It was Zhang Jiao's death that accelerated the entire process, so Qing Cang had to react and strengthen himself in order to survive this catastrophe.
Guo Jia nodded and said, "In this way, our process will be improved and it is urgent to recruit soldiers. According to the day before yesterday, Luo Xiu wrote that more than 20,000 soldiers have been recruited in Jinyang City. At present, the number of soldiers in our Chinese army has reached 90,000. For the opponent's army and horses that often cost hundreds of thousands, our size is still not enough."
Guo Jia and Xu Xun can be said to be the two major think tanks of the Chinese Legion. The things they analyzed are of great reference value. With them, Qing Cang just needs to make some decisions and grasp the general direction. This is what a leader needs to do. Isn’t the same in ancient emperors? If all the things are handled by him, then he will not have time to do it. Things will never be done, so it is better to share them with the people below.
"You are right. In my opinion, in November at the latest, Quyang will definitely lose. We have more than two months to prepare."
People don’t know why Qing Cang is so sure. Anyone who has seen this history knows that in November, Huangfu Song and the prefect Guo Dian went to attack Quyang together, successfully killed Zhang Bao, and captured more than 100,000 people. The Yellow Turban Rebellion was considered to be quelled. Once it was quelled, it was time for liquidation, so he had to strengthen himself.
"Staff Officer Guo, you wrote a letter to Brigade Commander Luo and ordered him to lead his troops to capture Jiuyuan. And recruit soldiers more than one person. The task I assigned him is that 11 months ago, 50,000 soldiers must be deployed in the two cities."
Jiuyuan is more than 100 miles north of Jinyang City. With nearly 30,000 Chinese legion, combined with Luo Xiu's military talent, Jiuyuan will be destroyed within three days.
"yes!"
"Staff Officer Xu, this will make it difficult for you to recruit soldiers near our territory. Be sure to recruit another 10,000 soldiers in a short time."
As for why it is 10,000, it is because he has to complete a task. It is the task of a total of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. At that time, his health increased by 120 days again, reaching nearly 700 places. At that time, he said he could exchange for some more expensive things in the mall.
"Abide by the order!"
"Minister Wang, how is the progress of the improved production of the crossbow?"
Wang Zongwei stepped out and said, "Returning to the commander, nearly half of the crossbows have been transformed."
He asked three questions and continued: "The upgrade of the vine armor and the continuous crossbow shooting is also in progress."
"Okay! I'm very relieved to tell you."
"Commander, I'll take this opportunity to announce our latest research results."
Everyone locked their eyes at him in unison, and saw him take out a drawing with some strange patterns on it.
"Oh? Then you introduce it to us all."
"I named this weapon Reaper. In front is a curved circular plate with a height of two meters and a width of ten meters. The circular plate is covered with weapons and behind it is driven by Niuli. The driving principle is the same as that of the Chongcheng car."
"Then what's the use of this?"
"The only role of the harvester is to resist foreign enemies. Come and take a look."
He didn't know where to get a model, which was very delicate. He saw him put the model on the floor and put some woodcut villains in front of him. When he pushed the model, the villains fell to the ground.
Qing Cang now understood that it turned out to be the same as the principle of a bulldozer.
"One has limited functions, but if one hundred such things are connected together, as long as the enemy dares to invade, I can guarantee that they will be killed in one round!"
This weapon is very cruel. No grass grows wherever you go. Once it is started, it cannot be stopped, but it has miraculous effects. But it has one disadvantage: the equipment speed is relatively slow. A harvester will use five cow powers and one hundred five hundred cows. When you finish the equipment, the enemy will have already rushed over. Unless you predict the enemy's arrival in advance and be prepared.
"This is indeed powerful. I suggest that this thing can be produced, but it is not necessary to be taken out for public display. I am afraid that it will be used by people with intentions."
Having said that, even if this thing is not placed outside the moat, it is OK to put it under the city. As long as the enemy crosses the river, there is definitely a way to equip Niuli, and those who land can be killed in one round.
What he said was that he agreed to Wang Zongwei's plan, and of course Wang Zongwei could understand it.
"Yes, then I'll start mass production."
"Also, Commander Zhang, do you have any news about Yun Zhongfeng?"
For several days, no one, a swordsman in Yunzhongfeng, has been able to get the exact message.
Zhang Liao went out and said, "It has been determined that Yunzhongfeng is a famous rich man in Wangdu County. He is so good at greeting heroes. His double sword technique makes him perfect."
"Rich man?"
Qing Cang was a little confused. Yun Zhongfeng was a swordsman and a rich man. That is to say, he was very skilled and rich. What did Yang Xiaomei ask him for? A series of questions lingered in his mind.
"Where is that county?"
"It is about two hundred miles away from us between Huaxia City and Zhuo County."
"Zhuo County..."
Qing Cang seemed to remember something. She met Yang Xiaomei nearby at that time. Logically speaking, she was quite clear about the surrounding environment and must have known the wealthy families in nearby counties.
"It seems like I have to go and see..."
Guo Jia asked: "Why is the commander so concerned about this person named Yun Zhongfeng?"
"Because of an old friend, she seems to be doing something big. Something related to Yun Zhongfeng."
Everyone was puzzled. After saying this, it proved that Qing Cang would not say something big, so everyone didn't ask again.
"Team Commander Zhao, Commander Zhang, you two ordered 10,000 cavalry and went to Wangdu County with me. The others defended Huaxia City. If there was an enemy attack, they could not resist it unless they were necessary. Try to use the city defense to kill them."
"Yes!" Everyone should be that Qing Cang only brought two generals to the city, and the others defended the city, which means that this matter is not difficult to deal with. Only a single cavalry is to fight quickly and decide quickly, and they will definitely come back within three days. Moreover, they do not seem to be facing an armed army, but just a small villa with more than 10,000 people.
