Liu Yu did not look back, still looking at the direction Murong Lan left, feeling lost.
Lu Xun walked to Liu Yu's side and laughed dryly: "You should have told her just now that you actually asked us to be your helpers. In fact, with her intelligence, she should be able to guess when she heard that Ding Ling people can be used by you.
That's about it. If you want to achieve great things, you have to be cold-blooded and hard-hearted. If you always think about benevolence and righteousness, you won't be able to achieve anything in the end."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "I don't want anything to happen. I just want the Northern Expedition to be successful. Lu Xun, if you hadn't promised me to mobilize the Hebei Rebel Army and vowed not to do anything harmful to nature, do you think I would cooperate with you again?
?”
Lu Xun laughed: "This is Hebei, the territory of my Lu family's ancestors, not those in the Central Plains that are not my hometown. I will not offend the folks here, and I am reluctant to turn them into immortals. Even if I have this
You know, I don’t have those medicines either. You have to know that last time, in order to help you, I took the risk of using this elixir in Luoyang, but the person who provided me with the pills refused to give it to me again, even if he died."
Liu Yu sighed: "Such a cruel thing is against the harmony of nature and must be punished by heaven. Lu Xun, you are also a scholar who has read poetry and books. How can you do such a thing? Can your conscience be calm?"
Lu Xun smiled slightly: "Slave, I'm afraid there are hundreds or even thousands of dead souls under your command. Do you feel uneasy about your conscience? We are all people who do great things. As the saying goes, one general can accomplish thousands of bones. Such a mother-in-law, mother-in-law,
It's better to farm at home instead of going out to harm others or yourself. If I hadn't used this thing that day, your subordinates and brothers would have made tens of thousands more sacrifices. By then, will your conscience be at peace?
"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "I won't tell you this. How many people did you bring this time to ensure that the evil medicine is not used?"
Lu Xun smiled mysteriously: "I asked Xu Shidao to take the Taoist friends from the Central Plains back to the south of the Yangtze River, but I secretly ran out and went to Hebei. This was something we had planned long ago. We acted in front of everyone, making people think we were
We have already broken up. Even Zhuque thought it was impossible for us to join forces, but no one thought that I would return to Hebei and use my truly accumulated strength to conquer Yecheng in one fell swoop. Don’t worry, I don’t have any immortals this time, but,
There are my Lu family's songs, and my family's ancestral mechanism skills, when the time comes, it will definitely open your eyes."
Liu Yu was surprised: "Mechanism technique? What is this?"
Lu Xun smiled and pointed at the grass behind him. He saw a thing about ten feet tall and covered with iron armor wrapped in thick wood. It moved in front of Liu Yu. Liu Yu took two steps back in shock. He usually only
I have seen carriages and horses walking around, but I have never seen anything like this that can move like a human being.
Liu Yu pointed at the human-shaped wooden armor and said in a deep voice: "What kind of monster is this thing? Could it be that you used some evil magic to make it listen to your orders?"
Lu Xun smiled and pulled the wooden armor's head, and a wooden board was lifted up. He saw a short dwarf among them. Several belts tied him inside the hollow wooden board, and his hands and feet were wrapped with some wooden poles.
As he moved his hands and feet, these wooden poles also flipped up and down. The wooden armor, which was more than ten feet high, could also move his hands and feet, such as pointing his arms.
Lu Xun said: "This is a mechanism technique created by the Mohists during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It has long been lost. However, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period, accidentally obtained a posthumous note from an ancient tomb and restored most of it. The legendary wooden ox and flowing horse that can transport grain are like this
It turns out that when the Shu Kingdom fell, my ancestors of the Lu family entered Shu with Zhong Hui's army and obtained the fragments of this machine technique. When I was young, I learned its method and could make various wooden armors and siege equipment.
They are all perfect. Those trebuchets that were temporarily made in Jinyong City that day were just a small test. You have also seen their power. And these wooden armors, although there are only more than a hundred, can be used tirelessly and fearlessly.
Swords and arrows are released on the battlefield. When advancing, they can destroy the front line and retreat, and when retreating, they can confront the cavalry. Even your brothers from the Beifu Army are quite inferior."
He said, waved his hand, and the dwarf saluted Liu Yu. The wooden board was closed again. On one side, two sergeants were seen carrying a heavy eight-stone running bull crossbow. The wooden armor was lifted easily with his right hand.
Just put it on the arrowhead, clasp the winch with wooden fingers and pull it, without straining, the crossbow string, which can only be pulled with the strength of eight stones, was easily pulled to the end. The three-rod crossbow was stringed, and there was only a "pop" sound.
As soon as the crossbow string was loosened, three crossbow arrows, which were more than a foot long, roared out and flew for more than two hundred steps before disappearing far into the grass, causing a flock of birds to fly up.
Liu Yu sighed: "It does seem to be extremely powerful and as hard as iron. Even the strongest warrior can hardly compete with it head-on. It seems that with this thing, no wonder you don't even use those immortals. It's not you."
No matter how good your heart is, first there is myrrh, and secondly there is this more powerful thing."
Lu Xun laughed: "It's just that I don't have an official position after all, and you came to conquer Hebei on Zhu Xu's orders. If I join forces with you, we can legitimately achieve military exploits. Don't forget your promise to me.
After that, you must ask Wang Miaoyin to advise the emperor to recommend me as the governor of Youzhou. This is what I deserve."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "If you do this, you are betraying your Celestial Master's way. You must think carefully about it."
Lu Xun sneered and said: "I, Fan Yanglu, belong to a wealthy family in Hebei, and this is my hometown. I joined Tianshi Dao, but I was forced by the situation for a while. Besides, Tianshi Dao asked me to give up my business in the Central Plains for many years and return to the Central Plains.
Jiangnan has almost taken away my many years of hard work, so heartless and unrighteous, why should I continue to care about the friendship between my masters? Liu Yu, I help you this time, it is my personal matter, Lu Xun, and has nothing to do with Tianshi Dao.
So, you don’t have to worry about me spreading my teachings here and there in the future. What I want is just to divide the territory and return home in fine clothes. If you want to be stationed at the border for a long time in the future, then we have plenty of opportunities to cooperate."
Liu Yu sighed: "Let's wait until we capture Yecheng. I don't think things are that simple. It's impossible for the Ding Ling people to stop Murong Chui for too long. They are good at guerrillas and harassment, and they can compete with the Yan army's cavalry head-on. No
Its strengths, as for the inside of Yecheng, I always feel that Murong Chui will not leave an empty city behind and let us succeed so easily, so your troops may still have some use."
Lu Xun smiled slightly: "You took the initiative to ask me to fight this time. I have said it before. If we really want to fight, we will both die together. Don't act so pitiful and arrogant."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Don't attack by force unless absolutely necessary. This is my only request to you."
Lu Xun smiled and waved his hand to the grass behind him. Hundreds of swordsmen in blue came out with their swords in hand. The wooden armors who were obviously superior to others a hundred or so steps forward also stood up and opened in a mighty manner.
Going north, Lu Xun jumped onto the shoulder of the wooden armor next to him. His laughter came with the wind: "Yecheng, I'm coming!"
