Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 423 Arrival of the Jingzhou Army
The entire general will be the master craftsman of the academy, whether it is Liu Laoji, or other craftsmen, even including Jiang Qi.

Everyone felt that Qihou was just making a fuss out of a molehill.

Yuan Tan shook his head in his heart. Although he was a little disappointed, he did not feel that everyone was not enough to entrust him with such a heavy responsibility. After all, it was the gap in knowledge that gave them such blind confidence.

Fortunately, with the fuel of fire, I can use reality to teach them a good lesson.

Soon, a few soldiers brought a bucket of kerosene to the front of the workshop. Yuan Tan turned his head and looked at the people behind him, and said in a deep voice, "You all think I'm making a fuss over a molehill, but it's about kerosene. Half negligent, you were producing in the Wuhuo workshop before, and there was no accident, which is very good, but everyone actually despised Menghuoyou? Do you think there is nothing to pay attention to?"

Yuan Tan raised his hand to signal for a large bow to be taken from the man, drew out an arrow feather, hung a few sparks on the arrow feather at random, and then pulled the bow away.

After doing all this, Yuan Tan turned his head and glanced at the general craftsman next to him: "Do you think this arrow feather can ignite this barrel of kerosene?"

Jiang Qi and the others looked resentfully at the sparks on Yuan Tan's arrow feathers that were about to be blown out by the evening wind, and shook their heads in disbelief.

Yuan Tan chuckled, and immediately let go of the hand holding Jian Yu.

whoosh-

An arrow pierced through the air and passed by the flaming oil barrel, only a few sparks fell lightly on the flaming oil barrel.

Everyone shook their heads in their hearts at that time, worrying about what to say next to save Qihou's face.

The next moment, a huge ball of fire jumped up from the sky above the barrel of flammable oil, followed by a roaring crackling sound, centered on the location where the barrel of flaming oil was placed.

Within a hundred steps, everything was covered by raging fire, and the raging heat even made the craftsmen around them unable to stand still, subconsciously retreating back again and again.

Yuan Tan withdrew his bow and arrow, and said calmly: "Remember the rules of the fire-free workshop I established. If anyone violates it, no matter whether there is a production accident or not, they will all be punished and kicked out of the academy, even if it is a master craftsman. Same!"

Since Liu Laolan's death, Jiang Qi and other generals, craftsmen and officials of the Academy all responded in awe: "Here!"

After establishing the rules for the Academy, Yuan Tan ordered people to transfer the [-] barrels of fierce oil that had finally been produced directly to the Futu Iron Guard, and temporarily recruited [-] government soldiers to escort the [-] barrels of fierce oil.

This batch of fierce oil will be the key to his victory against the coalition of princes.

……

Under the city of Qiaojun, in the camp of the Xichuan Army Headquarters, Zhang Wei's face was sinking like water, looking at Yang Sun who lowered his head and dared not speak, it took him a long time to say: "So, Cao Cao is still unwilling to send troops. gone?"

Hearing Zhang Wei's angry words, Yang Sun didn't dare to pretend to be dumb anymore, and quickly knelt down on one knee: "This subordinate is incompetent, and he owes the general's great trust!"

Looking at the useless Yang Sun, Zhang Wei really wanted to push this incompetent guy out and chop him up.

But the words turned into a long sigh.

Regardless of Yang Sun's appearance like this, he is considered pretty good in the Xichuan Army, at least he dared to fight the enemy general when he went into battle.

The rest of the Xichuan Army's military officers were simply used to make up for it.

No one is reliable at all, not even Yang Sun!

So Zhang Wei immediately sent a messenger to Xuchang after the vanguard army was defeated. In order to show the seriousness of the matter, he also sent Yang Sun there.

I just want to make Cao Cao realize that he must send troops to support as soon as possible.

Don't delay any longer.

As a result, Yang Sun stayed in Xuchang for three days, and he never saw Cao Cao from the beginning to the end. The people who dealt with him during the whole process were only a few advisers under Cao Cao's command.

As for the so-called request for Cao Cao to send troops, as soon as he said it, the responses he got were all those. Because the prime minister was saddened by Guo Fengxiao's death, he described it as ruined and unable to restrain himself from leading the army. Please return first.

On the contrary, they are extraordinarily willing to give up food and supplies. As much food and fodder as the Xichuan Army needs, they can be collected for you on the spot for you to bring back to the front line.

It is clear that we want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Thinking about these crap things, Zhang Wei's teeth hurt.

The Xichuan army is not short of food and grass at all. The [-] army has lost [-] before the real battle. The remaining food and grass are enough for the Xichuan army to eat for another three months.

Where do we need food and fodder support from Xuchang?

The key is morale!Morale!
Now the Xichuan army has developed a fear of the Hebei army. Before facing the Hebei army, the Xichuan army still has the power to fight.

But in the battle under the Qiaojun city, the [-] pioneers were defeated by the Qiaojun defenders.

Although there was an unexpected factor of Deng Ai's Iron Buddha Tu, Zhang Wei didn't believe that the [-] vanguard troops were all defeated by Deng Ai's [-] cavalry.

Most of the credit for this must go to the guards of Qiao County.

In other words, I took the Xuzhou Army too seriously before, so that I ignored it. The combat effectiveness of the Hebei Army itself should not be underestimated!

Even the coach thinks so, not to mention the soldiers of the Xichuan Army who just suffered a defeat.

These days, if it weren't for Zhang Wei's prestige, and this place is the heart of the Central Plains, it would be too far away from Xichuan.

I'm afraid there will be deserters in the camp!
Zhang Wei thought of this, but he couldn't even sit comfortably. Now the situation of the Xichuan Army could not be solved by him alone.

Another way must be found to boost morale.

Looking around, it seems that the only way to boost the morale of the current Xichuan army is to wait for the arrival of the follow-up princes' coalition forces.

So here comes the question, who knows where the Jingzhou Army and Yizhou Army are now?

With a sound of swipe, Zhang Wei opened the curtain of the tent, walked out of the tent, temporarily put away the anxiety and worries in his heart, and planned to patrol around the camp first, so that the soldiers could see that they were not in chaos.

Do what you can to stabilize the troops before reinforcements arrive.

However, just as Zhang Wei walked out of the camp, there was a commotion behind the Xichuan Army Headquarters camp.

The sound was still far away at first, but it quickly rushed towards the main camp of the Xichuan Army headquarters. Even the soldiers were alarmed and walked out of the camp to poke their heads out to see which army it belonged to.

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, he appeared behind him at this time, could it be the reinforcements sent by other princes?

He was about to take a step to check the situation, when Yang Sun ran over with a happy face: "General, the reinforcements have arrived, the reinforcements have arrived, General!"

"Oh? Which route of soldiers and horses came?"

Zhang Wei hurriedly asked, just now.

A loud roll call came from outside the camp: "Jingzhou Mukelu General Cai Mao and Polu Zhonglang General Yang Ling are here. I don't know which general is stationed in the camp ahead. Please open the door and meet!"

What followed closely was a large Yang character flag fluttering in the wind.
