Unbeknownst to Zhou Yu, the two cavalrymen who came from the west valley road overnight completely relieved Zhang Liao's urgent need.
That night Zhang Liao was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all.
After all, compared to his role as a counselor, Liu Ye's shine in another field seems to be even more dazzling in recent years.
When Liu Ye unfolded the design drawings of the exquisite creations that he had collected on the scroll, Zhang Liao and Wenpin both saw shock in each other's eyes.
"Zi Yang! You... you are really Hefei's savior! These! These..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Liao was suddenly shaken because he thought of a serious question.
"These things... are nice! But... who's going to make them?"
Wenpin shook his eyelids without leaving a trace, and looked stiffly towards Hefei City behind the city gate tower——
Not to mention the devastation, in this huge city of Hefei, apart from those soldiers who only know how to fight, where can they find those who can make these exquisite things that cannot be reproduced?
Don't forget that Zhou Yu brought a trebuchet that looked like a Thunderbolt Chariot, but if Zhang Liao had ever experienced the bombing of a genuine Thunderbolt Chariot, he would definitely know that the power of Zhou Yu's pirated Thunderbolt Chariot has been reduced by as much as 50%.
.
However, even a replica of the Thunderbolt Car with 50% power still caused the city of Hefei to collapse. This shows what kind of killer weapon the Thunderbolt Car that Yi Xiaotian gave to Cao Cao was.
Apart from these... the key thing that can attract people's attention is naturally the technology of manufacturing these weapons.
Isn't this... the real master is here. In the past, during Cao Cao's major and minor battles in the north and south, Yi Xiaotian had tried his best to help make some iron and steel weapons.
Although Youjian Villa has a wide range of industries, in terms of real heritage, how can it compare with the workshop that is supported by the national treasury?
As the manager of the workshop, Liu Ye now made all the heavy weapons visible in Cao's army.
This means that although Liu Ye is not as good as Yi Xiaotian in terms of inventions, when it comes to coordinating resources, large-scale production, and large-scale manufacturing, there really is no one more suitable for Cao Cao than Liu Ye.
But that's where the problem lies.
It’s true that Liu Ye is here.
But Liu Ye didn’t bring his workshop?
"If I remember correctly, you two will come together on this trip... Could it be that you want to recruit new craftsmen in Hefei City?"
When he said this, Zhang Liao already felt like he was completely broken.
The hope that had just been rekindled was suddenly extinguished by the cold reality.
Just as Liu Ye said to them just now - if we don't have some powerful people to deal with the continuous offensive of the Soochow people, we really can't withstand it.
It is impossible to cover all aspects by relying on manpower alone.
But having said this, looking at the two pairs of burning eyes, Xi Zhicai and Liu Ye smiled like nothing happened and said nothing.
"Zi Yang? I think you should go to Shouchun for refuge... I will be responsible for the success or failure of this battle..."
"Hey... don't worry, Wenyuan... if the time is right... you will know after a while -"
Zhang Liao was anxious, but Liu Ye and Xi Zhicai laughed even more happily at this moment, while Wenpin looked on with confusion.
At this time.
Zhang Liao suddenly heard the commotion coming from the city, and glanced at the two people sitting at the table. Liu Ye slowly made a "please" gesture, indicating that Zhang Liao could go and investigate the situation.
Naturally, Zhang Liao, Wenpin and the others couldn't wait. While packing up their armor, they ran towards the corridor in confusion.
At this moment, in front of the west gate of Hefei, a team was quickly entering the city.
Zhang Liao rushed to the scene and when he saw this scene, he immediately questioned the gate captain who controlled the city gate:
"This! Who gave you the order? Who are these people? Why did you let them enter the city?"
Before he finished speaking, Wenpin rushed over anxiously, patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder repeatedly, and spoke in an extremely eager and excited tone:
"Wenyuan! It's...the reinforcements came from Xiangyang! No...it's not just the reinforcements! Listen to them, they are the craftsmen from the Xiangyang craftsman's workshop! This is a craftsman's workshop!!"
"You...what did you say?"
Two questions popped up on Zhang Liao's face, and for a moment he didn't even turn around.
Reinforcements from Xiangyang?
Isn’t the road from Xiangyang to Hefei blocked?
How did they get here?
Looking at the team, which was definitely no less than two hundred people, the men among them were all strong men, and they were no less competitive than the defenders of Hefei.
The second question is even bigger.
"A craftsman's workshop?"
"Could it be that...this is the group that shone brightly in the Battle of Xiangyang and made countless magical weapons..."
"Wenyuan, you heard right, it's the craftsman's workshop in Xiangyang that's coming!"
"But these have nothing to do with us. If you want to thank us, then after this battle is over, go and personally thank the person who ordered the craftsmen from the Xiangyang Craftsman's Workshop to come directly over the mountain—"
When Liu Ye came up behind him with a smile and talked about the reason, Zhang Liao's whole body trembled with excitement.
A name is about to come out, and this person, in the eyes of any Cao Jun general or counselor, is enough to become a role like the Dinghai Shenzhen.
At this moment...he was at the residence of the Mufu of Xiangyang Prefecture, drinking Jiu Ling Pure Brew with the drunken scholar in front of him.
Taking advantage of the candlelight, Wang Can asked with a smile:
"Brother Yi, if you come back like this, isn't Brother Pang in vain?"
The young man opposite him just raised his eyebrows and said jokingly:
"You can't say that. I went to Chang'an on this trip, and I helped Brother Pang find his most desired destination... There are frequent wars in Xiangyang. If Brother Pang is willing to stay in Chang'an, it will be a good thing for his family.
"
"Tomorrow - Zhongxuan, please send someone to send Brother Pang's children and mother to Chang'an, and leave the rest to me."
"Since Brother Pang wants it, then I'll do as you say."
Just like when they first met, after three or two glasses of wine, Wang Can, who met his friend today, was quite drunk and contented. After saying this, he lay down on the table and fell asleep.
But Yi Xiaotian didn't seem drunk at all. After saying this, he looked at the night outside the corridor, estimated the time, and said casually:
"People from Hefei should have arrived too."
——
"Captain! The sentry at the front discovered that a team of hundreds of people entered Hefei City under the cover of night..."
"Hundreds of people? With just this few people, they want to counterattack us... I'm afraid this is a bit unrealistic, right?"
Zhou Yu was discussing matters with the generals around him, but was interrupted by a report from a sentinel.
After hearing the results, it turned out that the other party's additional personnel were only a few hundred people. No wonder Zhou Yu and others were so contemptuous.
But Zhou Yu today never thought that the addition of these two hundred people would cast an indelible shadow on him in the future.
