.Luoyang, Xiang Zhuang was surrounded by generals such as Wei Liao, Huan Chu and Ji Bu to inspect the Armament of the North City.

Huan Chu's face was flushed, and he said excitedly while leading the way: "General, we are really rich this time. Luoyang arsenal is full of swords, halberds, shields, armor, and at least 20,000 troops can be armed!" After saying this, Huan Chu said with a pity, "It's a pity that we don't have so many people, hey..."

Just as they were talking, Xiang Zhuang and his party walked into one of the warehouses.

I saw that the whole row of bungalows were filled with battle robes and leather armor, and the height was almost as good as the beams of the house.

The remaining rows of bungalows were filled with double-edged long swords, long halberds, large shields and other weapons, as well as a small amount of iron armor.

Xiangzhuang was not too surprised by these unexpected gains. Luoyang is the capital of Sanchuan County. Coupled with Lu Ze's painstaking efforts and self-governing, it has become the leading city in the Central Plains. In the past three or two years, it has become the base camp of the Han army in Guandong. Therefore, it is not uncommon to stock up so many swords, halberds, shields and armor in Luoyang's arsenal.

Even the granaries in Luoyang were filled with food, and hundreds of thousands of stones of military ration were enough for 5,000 Chu troops to eat for several years. These foods were sent to Luoyang from Taicang, Xianyang. They were originally going to Puyang in the past few days to supply Liu Bang's army, but now they have become the trophy of the Chu army.

However, the heavy siege equipment that Xiangzhuang wanted most, such as cloud ladders, had no siege cars. Until the entire arsenal was inspected, Xiangzhuang did not find a cloud ladder or a siege car!

Xiang Zhuang was inevitably a little disappointed and asked Huan Chu: "That's all? Is there any other warehouse?"

"Uh, it's gone." Huan Chu was a little at a loss and whispered, "General, aren't these enough?"

"What we need most now are ladders and siege cars!" Xiang Zhuang paused and said, "I asked you to collect blacksmiths, carpenters and weapon craftsmen in Luoyang City. How are you doing?"

"General, don't worry, this matter has been done." Huan Chu patted his xiongjiao and said proudly, "The last general has caught Luoyang's arsenal order. This old boy has hundreds of craftsmen, blacksmiths, carpenters, and weapon craftsmen." After that, Huan Chu turned around and ordered his personal soldiers, "Go and bring that old boy up."

The personal soldiers took the order and soon brought a dry little old man to Xiangzhuang.

The old man was not very good-looking, but he had the eyesight. He immediately realized that Xiang Zhuang was the head of this group of people. He bowed to Xiang Zhuang tremblingly and said respectfully: "The old man has sent a car, and I have seen the general."

"Mr. Gongshu, don't be polite." Xiang Zhuang replied, and said, "I wonder how many carpenters are there under the old man?"

Public Transport Lane: "There are always more than 300 people."

Xiang Zhuang said again: "Can you build a ladder and a siege car?"

"Yes, of course, it can even be built." The public transport lane, "but the cloud ladder, siege car and siege are heavy equipment, which is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive to build. Also, I don't know which city the general wants to attack? Because the walls of each city vary in height, the height requirements for siege equipment will also be different."

Xiang Zhuang said: "What if this general wants to attack Hangu Pass?"

"Hangu Pass is the first pass in the world. The wall is more than six meters high, so the height of the cloud ladder and the well rail needs at least seven meters! I wonder how many cloud ladders and how many well rails are needed by the general?" The bus was very cooperative and even enthusiastic. He did not refuse to do things for the Chu army just because he was the arsenal of the Han army.

In fact, this was also a major era at that time. At that time, the people of the Central Plains had a very weak national concept. For example, although Wei Yang was born in Wei, he could serve Qin with peace of mind. For example, Wei Liao, who was originally a mortal enemy of the Qin State, but in the end he became the Taiwei of Qin State and formulated a strategy to destroy Wei State!

Scholars like Wei Yang and Wei Liao do not have a deep sense of state, so craftsmen like Gongshuo will be even more unlikely to have any concept of state. Moreover, most of these craftsmen are keen on craftsmanship. As long as you give them the opportunity to engage in the business they like, it is not a problem to serve the country.

Xiang Zhuang thought for a while and said, "How long does it take for twenty cloud ladders, twenty well railings, and five siege cars?"

The bus calculated silently for a moment in his heart, and then replied: "General, three days are enough!"

"Okay!" Xiang Zhuang said, "I will give you three days. Within three days, what you need, I will ask for. This general will definitely meet your requirements. However, if you cannot take out twenty ladders, twenty ladders, and five siege cars in three days, then don't blame me for being rude to you."

Public Transport Lane: "Don't worry, General, the materials craftsmen are ready-made, and it's perfect for three days!"

"Very good." Xiang Zhuang nodded happily, "In addition to letting the carpenter build ladders, well railings and siege cars, your blacksmiths cannot be idle either. I urgently need the same weapon now. I will ask someone to provide dozens of sample knives later. In the past few days, your blacksmith will be open to build, and you can fight as much as you can!"

Returning from the arsenal to the county magistrate's mansion, Xiangzhuang and Wei Liao couldn't help feeling a little heavy.

It takes at least three days to build a cloud ladder, a well railing, and a siege car. But can the news of Luoyang's fall be blocked for three days? Although the Chu army locked the four gates in advance when siege the city, no one in the defenders in the city escaped, but the people scattered outside the city would hear the movement, and some people would definitely be suspicious if they did not allow peddlers to enter the city for three days.

Once Ao Cang's Lv Ze gets the news, he will definitely return to Sanchuan County quickly, and the trouble will be great at that time.

I don’t know if Wu She’s plan of disagreement was successful. If Lu Ze had already started fighting with Peng Yue, the Chu army would have no worries.

However, now, Xiangzhuang has no other way to imagine. He can only send more scouts to defend the road to Hangu Pass west and Hulao Pass east, intercept and kill suspicious people, and block all the news of Sanchuan County as much as possible. The news of the Chu army's capture of Luoyang will definitely spread, but before it spreads, it will take as long as it can.

Wei Liao was still worried and reminded Gao Chu again: "General Gao Chu, have the scout team sent out?"

"Don't worry, the military advisor has been sent out." Gao Churan said, "More than a dozen scouts were sent to Hangu Pass and Hulao Pass. The road that runs through Sanchuan County is completely under the control of the scouts. It's still the words of the general. It would rather kill the wrong one than let go. As long as it looks suspicious, you can kill it without mercy!"

Wei Liao sighed and said, "In extraordinary times, this is also helpless."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun suddenly strode into the hall hall, and then bowed to Xiangzhuang, Wei Liao and the others and said, "General, military advisor, Mr. Wu She finally has news back!"

"Oh?" Xiang Zhuang turned around and said anxiously, "Where is the person?"

Gongsun Sui turned around and waved his hand. A dead soldier walked in high spirits, and then he immediately went to Xiangzhuang. Wei Liao and the others greeted him and said, "The villain Shi Dunzi, I have seen the general and the military advisor."

Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said anxiously: "Tell me quickly, how is Mr. Wu She doing?"

Shi Dunzi immediately said it from beginning to end from beginning to end until he entered Liang Camp.

Xiang Zhuang was overjoyed when he heard this. He really didn't expect that Wu She actually alienated Lu Ze and Peng Yue. Although he failed because of Liu Bang's sudden appearance, the short melee between the Han army and the Liang army still created an opportunity for Chen Xi's breakthrough. What made Xiang Zhuang even more overjoyed was that Wu She actually attracted Chen Xi's 30,000 strong men!

Wei Liao was also overjoyed and said repeatedly: "General, God's will, God's will!"

"Yes, God's will, my great Chu will not be destroyed, hahaha." Xiang Zhuang laughed at the sky three times, then turned his head and shouted, "Gongsun Sui, beat the drum and gather troops. The general is going to lead the camp to attack Hulao Pass first!"

At Hulao Pass, the rebels' attack was repelled again, and hundreds of corpses were added under Dongguan.

Amid the chaotic footsteps, a white-robed young general, surrounded by more than a dozen generals and schoolmen, strode up the wall along the horse road. The white-robed young general was about twenty years old, with sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes, bright silver scales, a silver crown on his head, a sword on his waist, and a scabbard with colorful gems, which was very luxurious and eye-catching.

A bloody Han general then came forward and bowed to the white-robed young general and said, "Young Master, these rebels are too careless. Before they even get close to the wall, they have piled up hundreds of corpses and retreated. According to this fighting style, even if the rebels come to 100,000 people, they have to be told to the Hulao Pass."

The young general in white robe is nothing else, but he is Lu Ze's eldest son Lu Tai.

Lu Tai waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "General, don't be careless. I think the rebels are deliberately showing weakness."

After saying this, Lu Tai said again: "Just by the fire, I vaguely saw a big banner with the name Chen in the rebels. If nothing unexpected happens, the rebel general should be Chen Xi. This person likes to raise soldiers, and the diners under his disciples claim to be eight hundred. These eight hundred people have unique skills. Chen Xi most probably wants to stay for the last time as a trump card to use."

The Han general said in surprise: "Chen Xi? Aren't he trapped in Ao Cang City?"

"What happened to Ao Cang." Lu Tai sighed and said, "Liang Wang Peng Yue listened to the greedy words of his aide Kuai Che. He had a conflict with his father a few days ago. Chen Xi probably took this opportunity to break through Ao Cang." After saying this, Lu Tai sneered again, "However, Chen Xi really shouldn't have come to attack Hulao Pass, hehe."

The Han general nodded and said, "Young Master, why don't the last general lead 800 elite soldiers out of the pass to attack him?"

"Then there is no need." Lu Tai waved his hand and said calmly: "If nothing unexpected happens, the next boss attacks Chen Xi and should send his eight hundred disciples. We might as well make a trick and give the rebels a cruel trick!"

After saying that, Lu Tai leaned into the Han general's ear and whispered a few words. The Han general nodded repeatedly and said, "I will go down and prepare until I keep Chen Xi's disciples coming and going, hehe."!
