Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 237
Zhu Wei was curiously thinking about how Wang Lang got the 22-unit crossbow, but now he couldn't ask Wang Lang directly.

Otherwise, Wang Lang asked him how he knew, then Zhu Wei couldn't say that he had read your city information, so stop hiding it, take out the good things, and tell me the source of these crossbows.

Of course, it didn't take much time for Zhu Wei to squint his eyes. In addition, this time Zhu Wei concealed his expression, and it seemed that he took a sip of the tea soup that Wang Lang scooped out, and he didn't show it. What's wrong.

Over there Wang Lang heard Zhu Wei's words, exchanged glances with counselor Yu Fan again, nodded and said, "Alright, then the old man will hand over all the soldiers and horses to Rulai for command, and Zhou Xin, the captain under the old man's tent." , you can also follow your orders, and must wipe out the Zhuzhi thief in Qiantang!"

"Promise, I will definitely live up to the prince's entrustment!"

Zhu Wei stood up and bowed solemnly to Wang Lang. Naturally, Zhu Wei would not let go of the opportunity to control the military power in Kuaiji. If Wang Lang only asked Zhou Xin to cooperate with him, then Zhu Wei really had to worry about whether Zhou Xin would be obedient.

"Okay, Ling Fa, the old man would also like to see how you, a little Confucian general from Jiangdong, can make great achievements in one battle!"

Wang Lang also stood up, returned a salute to Zhu Wei, and then let Zhu Wei continue to sit down and talk.

"Your Majesty, the battle is unpredictable. Six points are planning, three points are bravery, and one point is God's will! However, God's will is often irreversible by manpower! Now, Wei can only say that this battle will be done as best as possible. However, Prince, Wei I also want to know what kind of military equipment the prince has in the army, so that Wei and Yuyan can plan ahead!"

After thinking about it, Zhu Wei tried to bring up the topic of the crossbow machine. Now asking about the armament is naturally to learn more about the crossbow machine.

"Hey, Kuaiji is outside the Central Plains, a land of barbarians. Now the old man governs Kuaiji, which is only a few counties. To the south is the mountain range occupied by the mountains! Originally, the old man was unwilling to use military force in the local area. Relying on more than a thousand county soldiers in the local area, it is enough to maintain stability! But now that the world is uncertain, we have to recruit more than [-] new soldiers. It is just that the Yamen Temple does not have much money in reserve, so there are still many soldiers who do not have enough leather armor. It's not enough, the only thing to do is to cut bamboo as a spear!"

Wang Lang sighed, and he didn't hide the situation of his army, but he paused for a moment, and then said again, "However, Tai Ming also gathered troops to fight against Dong Zhuo's traitor earlier, and Dong Zhuo's traitor was later executed, but the emperor Controlled by the western bandits, your father Zhu Jun and Xuzhou Tao Qian spread the word to the world again, inviting volunteers to attack the western bandit Li Jue and welcome the emperor, Tai Ming also responded, and gathered more than ten thousand volunteers to Xuzhou to form an alliance."

"It's a pity that your father was righteous and went to Xijing under the edict of the emperor. He wanted to find an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and bring the emperor back to the east. The alliance of Xuzhou also dispersed. Tai Ming had to lead his troops back to Jiangdong, but he didn't want to be jealous of Yuan Shu. Let Wu Jing come to attack Danyang, but Taiming has no choice but to disperse his troops and return home."

"However, Taiming has more than two thousand crossbows in his hands, but they were military and national weapons that your father left behind in Xuzhou's rebel army. Taiming was not willing to be obtained by Yuan Shu, so he quietly brought them back to Kuaiji. This time when Kuaiji used troops, Taiming also donated crossbows. Only with this sharp weapon in the new army can we temporarily keep Kuaiji safe!"

"More than two thousand crossbows? So that's the case!"

After listening to Wang Lang's words, Zhu Wei finally figured out the origin of the 22 units of crossbows in Wang Lang's hands. This made Zhu Wei feel regretful and emotional. Unexpectedly, these crossbows were left behind by his cheap old father Zhu Jun.

As for the Tai Ming that Wang Lang mentioned, that is the name of Zhou Xin, Wang Lang's subordinate. Although this Zhou Xin seems to be just an ordinary general in the Three Kingdoms game, he actually has some background.

This Zhou Xin also worshiped Tai Fu Chen Fan (that is, the one who made a room without sweeping the world) as a teacher in the early years of the capital Luoyang, and was later appointed by the imperial court to serve as the prefect of Danyang. background, he was able to serve as the chief official of a local county in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Later, Cao Cao launched a campaign to call on the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo. This week, Zhou Xin gathered more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in Danyang. He responded to Cao Cao's call and joined the alliance against Dong Zhuo. However, he was not well-known later, so he was not counted among the eighteen princes. He counted him among Yuan Shao's subordinates.

Then Zhou Xin participated in Zhu Jun and Tao Qian's second crusade against Li Jue and other Northwest warlords' Yimeng. Unfortunately, Zhu Jun voluntarily gave up his position as the leader of the Yimeng. Disbanded again.

At this time, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other tycoons who rose up in the alliance for the first time to discuss Dong Dong have already begun to seize the territory, but Zhou Xin is a person who has no idea. He probably has a good relationship with Yuan Shao. On the way back to Danyang, Yuan Shu sent Wu Jing to occupy Danyang first, and then prevented Zhou Xin from returning to Danyang.

Wu Jing threatened Zhou Xin with the lives of the family members of Zhou Xin's Danyang soldiers who stayed in Danyang. Zhou Xin had no choice but to disband the army and return to his hometown in Kuaiji to live in seclusion.

Then Wu Jing became the prefect of Danyang, and then welcomed Liu Yao to Danyang, but was driven to Liyang by Liu Yao's suspicion, and Zhou Yu's uncle Zhou Shang succeeded him as the prefect of Danyang.

It can be seen that the localities of the Han Dynasty were indeed very chaotic in those years. In order to grab the territory, the warlords could drive away officials from other forces at will, and then let people they trusted take these official positions.

But these people also have their own careful thinking. Wu Jing was originally a member of Yuan Shu, but he found Liu Yao to resist Yuan Shu. Zhou Shang was originally supported by Liu Yao, but he secretly supported Sun Ce to deal with Liu Yao.

This is really unpredictable.

It is no wonder that Yuan Shu would send his cronies to serve as prefects in various places before, but repeatedly regretted his promise to Sun Ce, because Yuan Shu actually did not trust Sun Ce very much from the beginning.

At the same time, it’s no wonder that Cao Cao’s suspicions have been so serious in history. After all, he does not have the Three Kingdoms game system like Zhu Wei, which can directly see through the loyalty of people. He has no way to trust anyone around him.

Well, let’s not go too far, anyway, this Zhou Xin was hired by Wang Lang as the captain of Kuaiji after Wang Lang arrived in Kuaiji, and was responsible for commanding the troops of Kuaiji.

It's just that Zhu Wei didn't expect that when Zhou Xin returned to Jiangdong, he would bring back 2000 or two hundred crossbows. It is estimated that after the Xuzhou Yimeng was disbanded, everyone divided the things left by Zhu Jun like belongings, and then These crossbows were assigned to Zhou Xin.

Thinking about it, Zhu Wei is really depressed. If Zhu Jun is not dead now, wouldn't Zhu Wei also be able to get more military equipment such as crossbows and strong crossbows hidden in the arsenal of the Han Dynasty through Zhu Jun.

Well, this can only be thought about. It is estimated that the ordnance in the arsenal of the Han Dynasty has been emptied long ago, and it should all fall into the hands of Dong Zhuo, and then scattered among the northwest warlords such as Li Jue and Guo Si. in hand.

It's a pity that Zhu Wei thought that Wang Lang had other channels to get the crossbow, but now Zhu Wei is a little disappointed...
