The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

However, before returning to Funan, he still came to see Liu Zheng again. On the one hand, he said goodbye. He didn't know when he would return next time.

On the other hand, there is also an important thing to ask Liu Zheng for instructions.

"Your Majesty, do you have any ideas about the Guishuang Empire that I mentioned to you before?"

Cao Cao is a hero in troubled times, able to rule the world, he can't bear without fighting, and expanding the territory is his greatest wish.

Therefore, fighting the Guishuang Empire, in Cao Cao's view, is what he will definitely do in the next few years in Funan Prefecture.

It's just that in Funan Prefecture, counting Zhoucang's army, the number of people that can really be mobilized will not exceed [-].

With this manpower, on the one hand, they have to guard all parts of Funan, and on the other hand, they have to deal with the remnants of the Funan royal family.

If you really want to start a war with Guishuang, without Liu Zheng's help, it will be even more difficult. ?

Chapter 1000 Two hundred and 12 The Achievements of the Mohist School

Therefore, whether you can fight Guishuang depends on Liu Zheng's consent.

In case Liu Zheng disagrees, Cao Cao will not make fun of himself.

If he really wants to lead the troops to attack the Guishuang Empire on his own initiative, in case there are some mistakes, the soldiers will be lost.

Liu Zheng blamed it, but Cao Cao couldn't afford it.

If Liu Zheng agreed to attack the Guishuang Empire, and suffered such a big defeat, it would only be a relegation at best.

"Meng De means that you want to use troops against the Guishuang Empire?"

Liu Zheng looked at Cao Cao and asked the question knowingly.

Although Liu Zheng knows that the Guishuang Empire is stronger now.

Not even weaker than his strength.

But he didn't teach these alien races to pay attention at all.

Not to mention other big men at this time, their technological level is hundreds of years ahead of them on the earth at the same time.

If you really fight with these people from the Guishuang Empire, not to mention one against ten, it should be no problem for the 1 soldiers and horses of the big man to fight tens of thousands.

So if he really wants to start a war with the Guishuang Empire, Liu Zheng is not afraid at all.

Of course, although Liu Zheng has not fought in a short period of time, Liu Bei's army is still eyeing him, and he may start a war with him at any time.

Liu Zheng also doesn't have enough energy to go to war with the people of the Guishuang Empire.

After he eliminated Liu Bei and unified the entire Han Dynasty, he would have the energy to conquer territories other than the Han Dynasty.

Although in Liu Zheng's mind, this little Guishuang Empire is nothing at all, but for now, it's best not to mess with him.

But Cao Cao made these remarks, and Liu Zheng will treat them differently.

Liu Zheng has no time to attack the Guishuang Empire, but Cao Cao, he is in Funan, if he has an idea, he can just let Cao Cao do it himself.

"If Mengde has an idea, he can test the Guishuang Empire, but he can't attack with all his strength. Although we have quelled the chaos in the north, it is not completely stable after all, and it will take time to come." Control Jizhou and Youzhou, and even the alien races in the north."

"It still takes time."

Liu Zheng sighed and showed a meaningful expression.

Cao Cao also knew that Liu Zheng would say that, and he wanted this answer.

He didn't need Liu Zheng to send troops to help him, all he wanted was Liu Zheng's permission.

Now that Liu Zheng has agreed, he can safely send troops to engage in small-scale friction with the Guishuang Empire.

After mastering the strength of the Guishuang Empire, Cao Cao made a detailed plan and asked Liu Zheng to use troops on a large scale against the Guishuang Empire.

"Your Majesty, it is only a matter of time before the north is pacified. In another year or two, Your Majesty will have a powerful cavalry force, and it will not be difficult to sweep the entire Han Dynasty."

Cao Cao saw far. As early as two years ago, when Liu Zheng rose and defeated Yuan Shao, Cao Cao knew that no one in this world could stop Liu Zheng.

Perhaps, the only possibility of Liu Zheng's current power is that Liu Zheng died suddenly.

Then the forces under his hand fell apart.

Only then could Liu Bei take advantage of it.

Otherwise, according to the current trend of Liu Zheng, time will be delayed, and Liu Zheng, who occupies several powerful states and counties, is fully capable of delaying and consuming Liu Bei to death.

"That's it, Meng De, you can conduct a small-scale trial with the Guishuang Empire. After you stabilize, the widow will send troops to support you."

"If you can take down the Guishuang Empire, you, Meng De, will take the lead."

Liu Zheng is not stingy with his praise.

After Liu Zheng's answer, Cao Cao understood in his heart, and he didn't stay with Liu Zheng any longer after this question was settled.

After all, we still need to leave early to go to Funan.

If you take a boat from here, it doesn't take long, and you can arrive in a few days.

However, Cao Cao had been away for a long time after all, and he planned to take Cao Ang back these days.

Liu Zheng didn't stop him either. After all, Cao Ang was old enough to go to the battlefield to hone his skills. Liu Zheng had no objection to this.

Anyway, in his primary school, there is also Cao Pi, Cao Cao's son, seven-year-old Cao Pi, who loves to cry and is timid.

It's not bad to keep Cao Pi here as a proton.

After Liu Zheng and Cao Cao had almost talked, Cao Cao left with his people.

After Cao Cao left, Liu Zheng still had one more important thing to do.

After these days of research, the Mohist team led by Huang Chengyan finally brought some rewards to Liu Zheng.

These rewards are tools that other princes do not have.

For example, in addition to improving the Zhuge Liannu invented by Zhuge Liang, they modified the trebuchet made by Liu Zheng again.

Actually came up with a wheel trebuchet.

That is, a group of people headed by Ma Jun made a wheel that rotates according to mechanical principles, and hung dozens of large stones on the wheel. According to the law, the ropes tied to the stones would be broken one after another, and the stones would be thrown quickly; The uninterrupted impact force will make the stones projected by the trebuchet more powerful and cover a wider area.

Even if the accuracy is a little bit worse, but this way, it is a range attack, which can hit a huge range with one shot.

It is enough to make these city guards terrified.

These days, the first model of the catapult came out, and they are inviting Liu Zheng to visit to see if there is any room for improvement.

Originally, Liu Zheng was not interested, but after hearing that his sling was improved, Liu Zheng became very interested.

After all, this thing was created by Liu Zheng. He didn't expect that this Mohist would be able to improve on his basis.

But thinking about it, the mechanics and mechanics of the Mohists are already very powerful, which is far behind even Liu Zheng, a modern person.

With their hands, even the Zhuge Liannu can be made, let alone a catapult.

With strong interest, Liu Zheng led a group of generals to Jianye's newly built military arsenal.

This is where Liu Zheng specializes in the research of new armaments. There are manufacturing factories, research institutes, and a place where the manufactured equipment is practiced.

In the research institute, apart from the first group of blacksmiths who followed Liu Zheng, it was the Mohists who joined later.

At this moment, dozens of people from the Mo family have already moved the improved trebuchet to the practice field.

A lot of people gathered here, and the Zhuge Liannu that were taken out earlier have all been put down.

Everyone was attracted by the trebuchet, which was more than ten feet high.

Coincidentally, Liu Zheng also came over at this time, and Liu Zheng was a little surprised just seeing the improved trebuchet. ?

Chapter 1000 two hundred 13 things invented by Mozi

The look of a trebuchet, in fact, hasn't changed much.

It's just that there is an extra wheel-like thing where it is projected.

"This is your modified catapult?"

Liu Zheng looked at the improved catapult for a while, and couldn't help asking Huang Chengyan at the side his own questions.

Huang Chengyan nodded quickly.

"Your Majesty, this catapult is the product of our Mohists' further improvement based on the catapult you made before. It not only increases the shooting range but also increases the lethality."

After Huang Chengyan gave Liu Zheng a brief introduction, he ordered the two Mohist disciples to start operating, intending to perform for Liu Zheng.

The rehearsal venue is big enough for the trebuchet to throw a shot.

Projected from here to the stone pestle at the other end, as long as it can hit, the improved effect of the catapult can be determined.

Liu Zheng was quite curious, and led a group of generals to retreat, waiting for Huang Chengyan and others to demonstrate the power of this catapult.

The two Mohist disciples quickly finished loading the stones here, waiting for Huang Chengyan's order.

They directly launched the stones on the catapult.

With a whoosh, the stones on the catapult were thrown out, and then several stones appeared one after another.

On a catapult, stones can be fired several times at the same time, because there is a wheel, which allows the catapult to launch six consecutive shots in a short period of time.

At the same time, the difference between the stones fired six times will not be too far, and the distance will not be too large.

It can almost fall in the same position range, even if there is a slight deviation, it can also carry out intensive firepower suppression nearby.

As long as one shot hits the target, it will be able to get nearby with splash damage, causing damage to enemies in a wide range.

Just after seeing this new-style catapult projecting, Liu Zheng was already surprised, and it didn't take long for him to be surprised.

A loud bang.

Boom.

The boulder that had just flown into the sky fell quickly, and the next moment it hit right between the pile of rocks it was aiming at.

The rocks that had been piled up were suddenly blown into pieces because of some rocks that fell from the sky.

Stones splashed out, causing the surrounding area to be messed up by large and small stones.

"it is good!"

After Liu Zheng saw this new-style catapult, he immediately applauded it.

The military generals who followed immediately understood that if this kind of siege weapon is really widely used, there may not be a single pass city that they cannot defeat.

"Awesome, this thing is several times more powerful than the previous catapult!"

"It is indeed a talent that His Majesty values. It is really amazing to be able to improve our catapults in just these few days!"

"It's so miraculous. If it is popularized by the whole army, I'm afraid our military strength will be greatly increased."

Xu Huang, Taishi Ciwenpin and others couldn't help sighing after seeing this new-style catapult.

If they had such a sharp weapon in the early years, they would not be helpless in the face of Yuan Xi and Liu Bei's fortified city.

Under repeated bombardment by the catapults, no matter how strong the opponent's city is, it will inevitably be hit with a Gollum.

At that time, there is no need to go to the city gate, maybe you can break the city wall and enter the city directly.

After demonstrating the power of this catapult, Huang Chengyan was also very satisfied with this improved product.

Although the catapult is not easy to manufacture and cannot be made on the spot during the march, installing a few wheels under it can also allow them to walk, and a few can be prepared in various counties in advance.

Once an enemy invades, it can be used for defense.

It can even be requisitioned on the spot to prepare for a siege.

Generally speaking, Liu Zheng is very satisfied.

"Mr. Huang, this thing is not bad. After the improvement of your Mohist school, it has indeed been enhanced a lot."

"Your Majesty, this is just an appetizer. There is another thing that must be able to help you."

Huang Chengyan was delighted to be praised by Liu Zheng, but he said another sentence to Liu Zheng calmly.

This time, Liu Zheng was also very curious.

"Oh? Anything else?"

"Well, this thing is also used for siege."

"It is also used for siege, is it an invention of your Mohist?"
