Three Kingdoms: My father-in-law is Lu Bu

Chapter 114 Henry Zhang Arrested
Guangling City, Ye Xiao's barracks, and the camp of the Chinese army.

Ye Xiao sat in front of the sand table, squinting his eyes as if he was dozing, raised his head after a while, and smiled embarrassedly at Zhang Liao.

"Wenyuan, where did we just talk?"

Because just now the store system kept prompting that the killing value was increasing rapidly, which interrupted his discussion with Zhang Liao.

Seeing that Ye Xiao regained his energy, Zhang Liao thought it was the result of Ye Xiao's exhaustion in recent days, and said with concern: "The subordinate just talked with the master about the possibility of imitating the pre-Qin arrow array, but since the master is tired, why don't you take a rest earlier?"

Ye Xiao nodded suddenly, and then said: "I'm not tired, I was just thinking about it just now. The Qin State's arrow array is famous all over the world. The first emperor was able to sweep the six kingdoms and dominate the world, mainly because of the advantage of the arrow array."

"My subordinates have also heard that before the Qin army goes to war, it is recorded in the history books that they must suppress the morale of the enemy with arrows. The Qin army's crossbow skills are also a unique weapon in today's world."

Ye Xiao wholeheartedly agreed with Zhang Liao's point of view.

"Wen Yuantong's reading of history books is indeed very knowledgeable. The arrow formation composed of the Qin army's crossbows has a range and damage that is ahead of other countries. In the final analysis, it is because the Qin Emperor attaches great importance to the development of military technology."

"Military technology?" Zhang Liao didn't understand this new term, but he immediately realized that it meant the art of military craftsmen?

"My lord's words are really eloquent."

Ye Xiao touched his nose, and thought to himself that you just need to understand what it means.

"Military technology will be the focus of our army's development in the future. Only the improvement of equipment can create the elite soldiers I want."

At present, Ye Xiao's army is mostly composed of sword and shield soldiers, with a small number of spearmen and archers making up the main force of the army. Lu Bu's Xiliang cavalry and Qian Qingqi cannot play a decisive role, and the same is true for the trapped camp.

Only elite soldiers who can be deployed and trained on a large scale are Ye Xiao's goals.

"Optimizing equipment will cost a lot of money and food, my lord should be cautious." Zhang Liao knew that the improvement of equipment would definitely benefit soldiers, but now that Ye Xiao's military family has a big business, it may be difficult to allocate funds.

Ye Xiao waved his hand with a reassuring expression on his face. He didn't plan to develop weapons on a large scale.

"After this battle is over, we will arrange for craftsmen to study trebuchets and crossbows when we return to Xiapi. This is the direction our army must improve at present." Ye Xiao said, thinking that Cao Cao must also be studying the legendary Thunderbolt Chariot, maybe the technology The progress bar has surpassed him by a lot, and I know that I can't delay any longer.

Zhang Liao winked at Wu Shuo, who was watching, and asked him to write down these, and send them back to Chen Gong when the time is right, and Chen Gong, who is sitting in the back, can arrange people to do it.

"Wen Yuan, Wu Shuo, I have to personally supervise this research and development, let's talk about it when I get back."

Zhang Liao obeyed, nodded and said, "I would like to obey the order of the lord."

"Well, Wen Yuan, why are you like Gao Shun, with a straight face all day long, take it easy, okay?" Ye Xiao joked, "Why don't we make a bet, I guess Gao Shun and his father-in-law have finished ambush Ji Ling now The task of dividing troops."

Seeing Ye Xiao's confident smile, Zhang Liao smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, I have left no omissions. Since my lord has said that this battle will be settled, I also believe that General Gao and my old lord have completed the ambush mission."

Ye Xiao smiled awkwardly, because the notification sound of the store system had stopped at this moment, indicating that the ambush battle was over, and Ye Xiao's kill value was approaching the [-]-point mark after this battle.

"It's really boring." Ye Xiao called Wu Shuo, "You send a message to Zhang Hong, asking him to send people in the city to spread the news that Lingbi City has been broken, and Han Siam's five thousand reinforcements have also been wiped out."

Wu Shuo was a little confused. Will there be chaos in Guangling City if this news spreads?
"My lord, it is estimated that Ji Ling will not believe in rumors. Moreover, since the last letter, Mr. Zhang said that Ji Ling has doubts about Chen Lan. We should be more cautious." Zhang Liao gave his opinion.

Ye Xiao stood up, walked to the door with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "The way of falsehood and reality is used well. Sometimes the real can become fake, and the fake can also become real. Wu Shuo, follow what I said. The letter is."

Wu Shuo didn't think about it anymore, and sent a secret letter according to Ye Xiao's order.

The carrier pigeon quietly came to Zhang's mansion in the air. Zhang Jing got the secret letter and ran all the way to find Zhang Hong.

"Father, my lord has written again. This time it took so long to write, there must be something urgent."

Zhang Jing handed the secret letter to Zhang Hong, staring at the secret letter intently.

Seeing this, Zhang Hong smiled and said, "Jing'er, you can read the secret letter in the future, remember to keep it secret, and then tell your father to follow the authority to deal with it."

Zhang Jing was slightly taken aback, knowing that Zhang Hong was training him, he bowed his hands gratefully, and then opened the secret letter.

"Father! Look! Is what my lord said true?"

Zhang Hong read it all at once, but he was not as surprised as Zhang Jing.

"My lord asked us to spread the news, so we just need to arrange for people to do it quietly."

"However, if these are rumors, it won't have much impact on Ji Lingjun." Zhang Jing still couldn't figure out why Ye Xiao spread the news in this sensitive period.

Zhang Hong took a deep look at Zhang Jing, and said in a low voice: "Jing'er, remember what the lord said, we must do it, instead of doubting whether it is worthwhile."

"Yes! Father, I think too much." Zhang Jing quickly corrected his attitude. The Zhang family is now tied to Ye Xiaojun's chariot, and they must go to the end together no matter what.

"Okay. Arrange people to do this as soon as possible. We will send the pigeons so that no one will find out. By the way, your brother hasn't seen anyone so early in the morning. Do you know where he went?"

Zhang Hong looked a little stunned when he mentioned Zhang Xuan. During this period, Ji Ling secretly sent people to investigate the details of the city, and even the major families were under surveillance by secret sentries.

Zhang Hong knew it, but he couldn't confront Ji Ling directly and chose to stay at home silently. At this moment, Zhang Xuan ran out and there was no news for a long time, so he was naturally angry in his heart.

Seeing his father's unhappy expression, Zhang Jing bit the bullet and explained to Henry Zhang, "Brother Xuan told me before he went out that he went to Lin's house in the east of the city."

"The Lin family?" Zhang Hong's anger slowly subsided when he thought of the acquaintance of the Lin family's daughter and Henry Zhang.

"Okay, when he comes back, he will be confined for five days without going out."

Zhang Jing smiled bitterly. With Henry Zhang’s restless temperament, he was confined at home for five days, which probably drove him crazy.

"My lord! Something happened! Master Xuan was arrested by the government!"

The old steward of Zhang Mansion ran in in panic and almost fell to the ground.

Henry Zhang quickly supported the other party and shouted: "Uncle Fu! Why was my brother arrested!"

The old steward, Uncle Fu, was out of breath, and said after a long while, "Master Xuan went to visit Lin Xiaojun at Lin's house, who knew he met Qiao Ruan."

"The servant said that Qiao Ru was trying to get Lin Xiaojun. Xuan Da was so popular that he got into a fight with Qiao Ru. I heard that he was taken to the city lord's palace as a spy."

After Zhang Hong listened, he sighed and said.

"Even after all calculations, something happened. Jing'er, you continue to deal with the host's agent affairs, and leave your brother's affairs to me."
