Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao, please answer the question!

Bow shooting tests the strength of the arm, the greater the strength of the arm, the stronger the power of the bow and arrow.

But archers need training, even if they don't need to shoot through Yang with a hundred steps, at least they need to be able to shoot the enemy on the battlefield.

This is by no means a one-day effort.

And the crossbow is not used, point the crossbow at the enemy, pull the trigger, even a child can easily kill.

The convenience of the crossbow should have been widely equipped in the army.

However, the production of crossbows is more complicated than that of bows, and their service life is generally not very long.

Therefore, the number of archers in the army still accounts for the majority, while crossbowmen are still a minority.

"I have sorted out a more suitable crossbow. It can shoot ten arrows at a time, and it is not easy to be damaged. It has a range of [-] steps."

"The only disadvantage is that the production process needs to be learned, and the production difficulty is higher than that of today's crossbows. I plan to replace a large number of wooden parts with metal."

Jiang Ji told Cao Cao a better crossbow that he summed up.

The strategic significance of the crossbow cannot be underestimated. Its power is several times that of the bow, and it is now a great weapon against cavalry.

Even thick armor may not be able to block crossbow arrows.

A range of [-] steps is not too far, and there are some crossbows that can shoot [-] steps, but the most important thing is that Jiang Ji got a continuous crossbow.

The rate of fire of a continuous crossbow is unmatched even by top archers.

And the number of ten rounds is definitely enough, after all, the quiver can only hold a dozen arrows at most, and the large one can hold more than twenty arrows is already the limit.

Therefore, Cao Cao paid more attention than expected, even more so to Mo Dao.

Cao Cao said: "This crossbow is based on your drawings. There are still some crossbows in the army. Can you modify them?"

"Can!"

……

Chapter 166 My sister wants to marry Liu Bei!

The appearance of the overturned car can be said to have given Sun Jian a boost.

But it's just an insignificant one.

In this negotiation, Sun Jian gave up many interests, even the right to adjudicate himself as emperor in the future.

"If the four aristocratic families have the right to judge, what if we become emperors? Just be puppets like Emperor Ling and Emperor Xian?" Sun Quan expressed some incomprehension.

Sitting in the hall, Sun Jian seemed like a lifetime away.

To Sun Quan's question, who seemed not much younger than himself, he patiently replied: "Then what else can we do to make the four aristocratic families more stable?"

"Quan'er, the current situation is no longer what you want. We have to give them huge profits so that we can control them."

"As for the future, it depends on your own means. If you can't suppress the four great families, then it doesn't matter whether you hand over the rights or not."

"If you have a way, then this right is just empty talk."

Sun Quan thought about it carefully, and he really had no better way.

He was just not reconciled, and Jiang Dong plummeted in one fell swoop.

He took a deep breath and said: "Actually, sometimes I think, if there is no such answer, we will win the battle of Chibi, and I will also establish Wu Kingdom."

Sun Jian looked at Sun Quan and said, "Then I won't be resurrected either!"

Sun Quan said in a panic, "I didn't mean that."

Sun Jian shook his head slightly: "Don't blame anyone for the failure. Now that you have seen the future, Soochow will eventually be destroyed."

"Not only is it not strong, but also because of our own problems."

"Knowing these things is better than not knowing, isn't it? If you know the mistakes, you can correct them. After the corrections, the road will be broader than before."

Sun Quan was taught by his own father for the first time.

I don't know what it feels like.

All I know is that there is still a long way between him and his elder brother and father.

At this time, a sassy woman rushed in from outside the house, looked at Sun Jian sullenly and said, "You lied to me!"

"What?" Sun Jian smiled.

"I went back and asked my mother, and he said you were lying to me!" Naturally, it was Sun Shangxiang who came.

Before Sun Jian coaxed and tricked Sun Shangxiang to go to Mrs. Wu's side, he did not expect Mrs. Wu to sell him in a blink of an eye.

"How? If you don't believe me, ask your brother!" Sun Jian said.

Sun Quan was a little confused, not knowing the cause and effect.

"I asked my father to arrange things for me, but my father said that these were trivial things and wouldn't let me do them. My mother said that my father disliked my lack of ability."

The reason why Mrs. Wu said this is most likely because she has a grudge against Sun Jian.

Sun Quan had a headache, and he explained bravely: "We do small things, and my brother can handle these small things. Why do you need my sister to do it?"

Sun Shangxiang rolled her eyes and said, "So my mother lied to me? I'm going back and telling my mother!"

Sun Quan's face turned bitter melon color.

Sun Shangxiang ran away at the door, but came back in a blink of an eye in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Sun Quan asked.

Tears were shining in Sun Shangxiang's eyes, and he said coldly, "Brother, do you not want me?"

There were several big question marks on Sun Quan's forehead, and he didn't know why Sun Shangxiang said that.

"how could be!"

"Liar, you clearly want to marry me to Liu Bei!"

Sun Quan was even more confused, and looked at Sun Jian.

But Sun Jian also shook his head, expressing that this is not what he said.

"Whoever said nonsense, how could I marry you to Liu Bei's big-eared thief, how can he be worthy of my sister?" Sun Quan said seriously.

"Then come out and look at the sky!" Sun Shangxiang snorted.

Heaven?

Sun Quan had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, when I stepped out of the door and looked at the words in the sky, I felt that my eyes would fall down as soon as they got dark.

[Question [-]: Why was Sun Shangxiang married to Liu Bei? 】

[This question is a question and answer question]

He thought of Liu Bei's appearance, in his 40s, with protruding ears, his arms hanging between his knees like a monkey.

My sister would marry him, it's just... just...

Wasn't a flower planted in cow dung?

Sun Jian also frowned, and said: "This incident happened in the future, but it is not the present future, but the future that did not appear in the original answering field."

"Winning the battle of Chibi, three points in the world, probably for the joint fight against Cao, so..."

In the middle of speaking, Sun Jian stopped talking.

Seeing Sun Shangxiang's tearful eyes, I am afraid that he already knows that he will be used as an exchange for interests in the future.

"I will never marry even if I die!"

She pursed her red lips, turned and ran away.

Sun Quan clutched his breathless chest, and said to the female guard with a knife, "Why don't you hurry up and chase Miss?"

The female guards hurried to give chase.

Sun Quan slowed down, fixed his eyes on the sky, and said, "I will definitely not let my sister marry that old man."

"They are almost 30 years younger, and Liu Bei is a short-lived ghost like that."

Sun Quan couldn't figure out why he wanted to marry his sister to Liu Bei.

If Sun Jian hadn't been resurrected, Sun Shangxiang would be his lifeline, and Liu Bei would be his enemy. Even in order to unite against Cao Cao, he would have other bargaining chips.

"The specific situation can only be determined by the analysis." Sun Jian said.

In fact, it's not only Sun Quan, even he doesn't like Liu Bei.

He has inquired about what Liu Bei has done in these years, and he is very disdainful of such a "lost dog" like Liu Bei.

The opponent may be a sage, but he is not a hero.

Sun Jian would rather marry his daughter to Cao Cao than Liu Bei.

But of course, neither is possible!

"Damn it, could it be that the old thief Liu Bei snatched my sister away, and my sister was forced to marry him?" Sun Quan had countless conspiracy theories lingering in his mind.

"Isn't the time to think about this now, have all the things entrusted to you been done?" Sun Jian asked.

Sun Quan was still a little absent-minded, and Sun Jian said loudly again: "Have you finished all the things I entrusted to you?"

Sun Quan came back to his senses and replied, "Don't worry, father, everything has been settled."

Sun Jian looked at Sun Quan and said, "Don't delay things because of the love of these children. If you don't want your sister to become a victim of interests, then make yourself stronger."

I am not strong enough, so I need to sacrifice.

Sun Quan nodded heavily: "I see, father!"

Sun Jian was not a cold-blooded person either, and said, "Let's let someone take good care of Ren'er, Jiangdong is in chaos now."

"Understood, father, don't look at my sister like that, in fact, martial arts are still higher than mine, ordinary thieves can't get close to her, and I equipped her with a sword servant."

Sun Quan was at ease about Sun Shangxiang's safety, but he was more worried about what Sun Shangxiang would do because of his sadness.

"Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others were summoned, and the four great families and some small families combined to provide us with a total of [-] soldiers and horses."

"Actually, you fought this battle too hastily. After returning to Jiangdong, the most important thing you should do is to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong first, and then plot Hefei."

"But now that this is the case, if we can't attack Hefei, then we can only retreat to the Yangtze River!"

……

Chapter 167 Predict things like a god!

------------

Sun Jianlian pointed out many loopholes in Sun Quan's decision-making.

If he seeks Hefei this time to stabilize the interior first, and then send troops, Cao Cao will not be prepared.

Sun Quan could only listen, ashamed of his mistakes.

In the south of Jingzhou, Liu Bei has already won the three counties of Jingzhou.

They waited for Zhang Song to gather troops and pose a threat to Cao Jun.

Liu Bei didn't care much about the problems in the sky.

He already cared about the world, not someone who struggled with the love of his children.

Even Mrs. Gan, who worked hard with him, said he would stay, let alone such an obvious political marriage.

From this aspect, he can really be regarded as a hero, and even Cao Cao can't help feeling cold-blooded.

"There are [-] troops assembled in Wuling, but Cao's army is loose and does not gather in one city. As long as we gather in one place, it may not be impossible to break it."

Liu Bei thought his plan was feasible.

But Zhuge Liang slapped his face mercilessly and said: "These soldiers and horses are all stationed in Tancheng, Chenyang, and Yuanling counties, and they are not far apart."

"If we are going to Yizhou, we will definitely be noticed and attract Cao Jun."

"To be honest, we don't know if Cao Jun has any other backers. This time, Cao Jun came with Jia Xu, who is more difficult to deal with than Xun You and Cheng Yu."

Since the dashing plan doesn't work, how about borrowing from Jiaozhou like Zhang Song?
