Xingyang, the coalition camp. Updated quickly without ads.

Yuan Shu sat in the position of the leader of the league, feeling heavy. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Chen Deng and Sun Ce sat at Yuan Shu's attacks, each with complicated expressions and a dull atmosphere in the tent.

"Benchu, you said you would have to wait for three days. Now three days have passed. What are the methods? Can't you say it yet?" Yuan Shu finally couldn't stand this dull atmosphere and looked at Yuan Shu, with an unspeakable depression in his tone.

"Don't wait!" Yuan Shao closed his eyes and said with a wry smile: "Originally, I contacted the sergeant of the court, hoping to raise an army and attack during the period when the emperor personally fought, cut off the emperor's way back, and make Hulao Pass an isolated city, but now it seems that those people are afraid of being in danger."

After sighing, Yuan Shao looked at everyone: "When the emperor first introduced the woodblock printing technology to the world, although he was a little impressed by the Ministry of Works, he did not take this matter to heart. Now it seems that the emperor may not make any sense to pay attention to the work."

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but be silent. In fact, among the princes, Cao Cao was a person who recognized some of Liu Xie's ideas. In private, he attached great importance to craftsmen, and even opened a workshop in Pengcheng to gather craftsmen.

But Cao Cao could not directly assign craftsmen to military positions like Liu Xie, and even in a war, he could enjoy military merits and get promotions. Therefore, he could not stimulate the potential of craftsmen. What Cao Cao could do now is to buy some Chang'an products through some channels, and then ask craftsmen to study and produce finished products and promote them silently among the people.

Therefore, Cao Cao is probably the one who understands the hidden power of craftsmen in the world. At this moment, he nodded with a bitter smile but did not say anything, because he found that the impact of this battle was probably not just as simple as morale.

Sun Ce played with a short sword, his eyes swept at the people in the tent from time to time, leaning on the back of the chair bored. He is now just a vassal of Yuan Shu, and few people will listen to the words here, so he simply does not participate in the discussion. It has been three days since the decisive battle, but the impact of that battle has not yet been resolved.

The strange bed crossbow that suddenly appeared at Hulao Pass can actually shoot in a fast and continuous manner and rotate. It is a bit unacceptable for the princes who are already accustomed to the current war equipment mode.

In the previous war mode, although weapons and armor were important, the most important thing was people. The advantage of numbers could make up for the shortcomings in weapons. But this time, the court used facts to teach the world a lesson. When the exquisiteness of weapons exceeded an era, the advantage of numbers would become a joke.

In fact, such a thing has not happened in history. The pre-Qin swept the six countries and unified China. In addition to the right time, place, and people, the pre-Qin attaches great importance to industry, which has made the pre-Qin weapons far exceed those of the other six countries. Many exquisite weapons, even if they are obtained four hundred years later, will never fall behind.

Liu Xie was obviously imitating the pre-Qin period and doing more thoroughly. The pre-Qin period used industry more to military use, while Liu Xie made all-round use, to promote agriculture, commerce, and strengthen national strength. Finally, it was reflected in the military. The emergence of the Tiangang Breaking Crossbow obviously began to cross an era, breaking the cage of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce that were gradually distinguished from the level. The status of the four major professions, after this battle, not only Guanzhong, but also probably had to be repositioned in the world.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten!

The impact of this battle is obviously not limited to victory or defeat. More importantly, the change in the concept of princes, at least the emphasis on craftsmen, will be gradually raised after this battle. This is also the result that Liu Xie wants to see. Even if he is the emperor, he can influence it in a short period of time, only by himself, the only way he can influence these territories under the rule of the court. What he wants to change is the concept of the people of the world.

Violence cannot solve all problems, but many problems must be solved by violence, and the same is true for human thoughts.

If Liu Xie asked someone to write books and write biography to tell scholars how important industry is, how many people can believe in it? How many people are willing to do it?

Sometimes reasoning is really not as effective as the ones from the fist. Just like now, although Liu Xie did not tell any reason to the princes, after this battle, the princes began to think about the importance of industry.

No one wants to be suppressed and beaten. The saints’ learning is a great truth, but it is not as harmful to the country as the weak. Just like now, when the princes face Hulao Pass, they have no confidence to charge again. The twenty crossbows are like lingering nightmare.

Even though they knew that there were not many soldiers in Hulaoguan, facing the twenty crossbow machines, the soldiers should have fled before they even arrived at the city.

"What's the use of saying this?" Yuan Shu knocked on the table in dissatisfaction, looked at everyone and said, "What should we do now? Could it be that my 300,000 army has been consumed here all the time?"

Chen Deng took a deep breath and bowed to Yuan Shu and said, "The Hulao can no longer be attacked. Since Benchu ​​Gong's plan cannot work, we might as well give full play to our military strength."

"How to play?" Yuan Shu frowned.

"Outside Hulao Pass, the area is narrow and it is not suitable for the attack of a large army. Now with the help of the divine crossbow, it is like a tiger adding wings to Hulao Pass. We are not weak to give up Hulao Pass. With the five places of Henoi, Arc, Xuanyuan, Yique, and Luhun as the attack points, our army has enough troops to divide its troops to attack, but the court cannot have enough troops to resist. As long as any of these five places is broken, they can directly attack Luoyang!" Chen Deng pointed to the map and said in a deep voice: "I am not talented, and I am willing to lead Xuzhou soldiers to attack Arc."

"This method is not bad." Yuan Shao nodded after being silent for a moment. He had proposed this method before. It was only because the news that Liu Xie appeared in Hulao Pass at that time made everyone greedy. He wanted to do it once and for all, and he would attack Hulao at all costs.

Now it seems that the emperor appeared in Hulao, which was originally a conspiracy. On the one hand, it was to drag them here, use the city of Hulao to consume their troops, and on the other hand, it was to lure the Luoyang family to take action and give Liu Xie a chance to catch them all in one place. Now it seems that Liu Xie has succeeded.

"Since that's the case, then the leader of the alliance will lead his army to attack Xuanyuan Pass!" Yuan Shu thought for a while and said, before he was completely stupid, Yique Pass is an important place connecting Nanyang and Luoyang. Once attacked, Zhao Yun in Nanyang may not be able to sit still.

"Cao will stay here to restrain Hulao Pass and Ao Cang's troops." Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "This is a swimmer openly. However, although he is not going to continue to attack Hulao Pass, it is impossible for no one to restrain the troops in Hulao Pass and Ao Cang. Cao Cao is willing to stay here, which is better.

"I will attack Hanoi." Yuan Shao said in a deep voice. His Yuan family is located in Jizhou, close to Hanoi. Now Liu Xie is stationed heavily in Hanoi. He is obviously worried that the princes should use this as a breakthrough, but the territory of Hanoi is not easy to obtain. Even if he wants to attack Luoyang, he needs to break through Mengjin. To cross the Yellow River, he needs a naval army. However, the princes in the north do not attach great importance to the naval army. To break through Mengjin when the court is already prepared, they can only hope that after the winter comes, the river surface will freeze and take the opportunity to cross the Yellow River.

After the assignment was completed, the princes began to attack the camps one after another. In the Xingyang area, only Cao Cao was left to guard them.

Such a large-scale action can naturally be hidden from Hulao Pass and Ao Cang.

"Quickly transfer this matter back to the court. The princes were frustrated at Hulao Pass this time, and they were afraid they wanted to divide their troops to attack!" After Jia Xu received the information, he quickly ordered people to send the information back to Luoyang, and at the same time attracted Gao Shun: "The person stationed in Xingyang is Cao Cao. I am worried that General Guan will be eager to take revenge and take the initiative to send troops. You should send someone to notify Guan Yu. Without the order of the court, you should not send troops without authorization!"

Jia Xu knew Guan Yu's personality a little. He was very worried that Guan Yu could not suppress it at this moment and went to cause trouble for Cao Cao. Liu Bei's 30,000 troops were defeated by Cao Cao. Now Ao Cang's troops are only 12,000 troops. How can he be Cao Cao's opponent? Once Guan Yu takes action, the Hulao Guan Guards will naturally not sit idly by. At that time, the entire battle situation will change, and it will affect the whole body!

"Here!" Gao Shun nodded and agreed, and quickly left.

A night battle in Luoyang is not the end, but just the beginning.

Liu Bei and Zhang Yang completely wiped out all the families in Luoyang City that were involved in the aristocratic families that rebelled that night. For a moment, Luoyang City was in a panic. This was the first time that Liu Xie had massacred since he ascended the throne, and it also allowed the world to see Liu Xie's cold-blooded side.

Not to mention the more than 5,000 people who were killed that night, the family that was blood-slaughtered by Liu Bei in the past three days alone exceeded 2,000, and the entire Luoyang seemed to be filled with blood.

Liu Xie has always been very concerned about public opinion. During the past three days, all major restaurants and teahouses were full of stories about storytellers, tirelessly explaining the cause of this incident to the people.

The aristocratic families repeatedly provoked the imperial power. His Majesty endured and endured it again and again in order to take into account the overall situation. But these aristocratic families did not know how to appreciate the emperor's kindness, but instead became more and more powerful. This time, they even opened their troops to take advantage of the emperor's battle against the princes, take the opportunity to attack Luoyang, and subvert the Han Dynasty. They finally angered Tianyan, and then Liu Xie took the butcher knife and killed a lot.
