    Early the next morning, Du Xiu Niang accompanied Ma Chao to visit Ma Teng and his wife. At this point, the entire concubine ceremony came to an end.  Next, there will be a big wedding for Meng Da and Fazheng. They married Zhuge Liang's two sisters respectively, who are both cousins ??and brothers-in-law.  In order to save these tedious etiquette, Ma Chao arranged their wedding together. The huge city of Luoyang was bustling for more than ten days before it finally calmed down.  At the same time, Ma Chao also used this rare peace time to vigorously develop the arms industry. Yuan Shao's mob was as numerous as a cow's hair. As the saying goes: An elephant can be killed by too many ants.  Ma Chao did not want to expand his army, so he could only work hard on improving weapons in order to win.  Over the past six months, Ma Jun and Zhuge Liang have learned a lot of physics and mathematics knowledge from Ma Chao. They were completely impressed after seeing Ma Chao's talent.  Fortunately, both of them are extremely intelligent people with extremely perverted receptive abilities and strong innovative abilities.  Previously, Ma Chao had tried to transform wooden axles into iron axles lubricated with steel balls.  However, this thing is indeed a bit ahead of its time. After careful study, it was found that it was impossible to make steel balls with the required accuracy and hardness with the technology at that time, let alone high-quality steel.  In desperation, we had to settle for the next best thing, transforming wood into iron, using wear-resistant, high-hardness ductile iron as the main material, and then lubricating it with lard and cylindrical ductile iron. The effect is also extremely impressive.  Then the three of them began to study the Liannu.  As a person who traveled through time, Ma Chao only knew the general principles of Liannu, especially the famous Zhuge Liannu in history. What the three of them had to study were only the details.  In history, Zhuge Liang and Ma Jun invented Zhuge Liannu and the other transformed Zhuge Liannu.  Ma Chao was busy with the matter of taking concubines, so he could only leave it to two people to complete.  Zhuge Liang already had some ideas for the Lian Nu, but with Ma Chao's guidance on the production principles and Ma Jun's help, it took less than a month to successfully develop it.  This kind of repeating crossbow is only slightly larger than an ordinary heavy crossbow. It is made of hardwood, refined iron and copper. The process is extremely complicated and the cost is quite high.  Ma Chao once demonstrated it personally and found that this repeating crossbow can shoot ten specially-made crossbow arrows at once, in the form of a shower of flowers. The power is extremely amazing. It can penetrate gold and cracked stone within fifty steps, and can easily penetrate ordinary chain mail.  .  In terms of penetration and strike power within a hundred steps, it is far superior to the current two-stone iron-tied bow.  "It's a pity that this kind of repeating crossbow is not accurate enough, and it takes a certain amount of time to reinstall the crossbow every ten rounds.  It can only be used on large-scale battlefields. It is a sharp weapon used to attack enemies in large groups. A single sniper kill is far inferior to a bow and arrow.  Not only that, the two also invented the sex bed at Ma Chao's request.  This kind of bed crossbow is different from the bed crossbow that existed at that time. The ordinary bed crossbow existed during the Chunqiu and Warring States periods, and was popularized on a large scale in the Western Han Dynasty. In fact, it was used by stacking several bows and using a wooden frame as a  Bracing, winching the bow string.  This kind of bed crossbow requires iron feather arrows, and its lethality is extremely terrifying. It can even shoot through war horses. On the battlefield, it can often kill multiple soldiers with one arrow.  However, Zhuge Liang and Ma Jun developed this kind of bed, which is a movable carriage. The core part is made of high-quality steel and hardwood. It can shoot ten iron feather arrows at one time, and its lethality is not weaker than that of the bed.  Crossbow, but its efficiency is ten times that of bed crossbow.  If the two armies were to fight on a large scale, the power of this kind of bed would be unimaginable!  Ma Chao was very satisfied with these two sharp weapons, and immediately praised the two of them greatly, and then ordered the three major arsenals in Guanzhong, Bingzhou and Jizhou to mass-produce these two sharp weapons in the form of assembly lines.  Not to mention that Ma Chao was preparing to send troops to Youzhou and Yuan Shao was preparing to attack Jingzhou, and the fierce battle in Yanzhou gradually subsided due to this natural disaster.  Lu Bu has Ma Chao to provide food and grass, but it can only be limited to the army, and Lu Bu is also known as the herdsman of Yanzhou. It coincides with the worst disaster in Yanzhou, which is a good opportunity to relieve refugees and win over the people.  Both Lu Bu and Chen Gong saw this clearly, but they had no food in their hands, so they had no choice but to ask Ma Chao for help.  Because of Ma Chao's relationship with Guo Jia, he knew everything about Yanzhou. The people of Yanzhou must be saved, but he must not provide food for Lu Bu to earn a good reputation.  After thinking about it, he suddenly came up with a plan and sent Qin Yi as an envoy to Yanzhou and sent a message to Lu Bu. There were many powerful families in Yanzhou, so he could attack the powerful Wubao and release grain to relieve the people.  ?  Hearing this, Lu Bu found it difficult to make a decision. Although there were many aristocratic families in Yanzhou, he was not the only one with influence. There was also Cao Cao who was more powerful than him.  Once he sends troops to besiege Wubao, a famous family, all the famous families will come to support Cao Cao.  Not only that, once Lu Bu follows Ma Chao's example and eliminates powerful families, he will have no choice but to join Ma Chao's camp, and there will be no possibility of reconciliation with Yuan Shao and the powerful families in the world.  After thinking about it, Lu Bu, who had no backbone, could only ask Chen Gong and others for their opinions, clasping his fists and saying: "Do you think this is feasible?" Chen Gong said: "This is Ma Chao's plan! It's just to break up the general and Yuan Shao.  Cooperate againThe road is also giving the general a chance!  Lu Bu frowned and said, "How can you say this?"  " Chen Gong said: "Although there are many princes in the world, only Ma Chao and Yuan Shao are the most successful.  But now the conflict between the two princes has reached an irreconcilable point, and a decisive battle is about to begin!  It's too late for the general to achieve great things at this time. He can only retreat and choose one of the princes to join him, and then wait for the opportunity to act!  " Lu Bu nodded. He was not a fool. He understood that what Chen Gong said was true. He frowned and asked: "From Gongtai's point of view, it is better for me to seek refuge with Ma Chao or Yuan Shao!  " Chen Gong pondered for a while and said seriously: "The Ma Chao Group is united within the group, with unified orders and actions, and abundant talents. With the general's ability, if he joins Ma Chao, he will stand out, and glory and wealth will be at his fingertips. However, it is impossible to achieve hegemony.  Yuan Shao has the support of powerful families in the world, and there are countless warlords, big and small, who rely on him. There are many internal conflicts, and they are at odds with each other. If a general joins Yuan Shao, as long as he operates properly, he may not have no chance of achieving great things!  " Lu Bu's eyes flashed, his face was full of enthusiasm, and he frowned and asked: "According to Gongtai, who will win when two tigers fight?  " Chen Gong said: "Ma Chao has great talent, strong soldiers and horses, and well-equipped equipment. He will definitely gain the upper hand, but it is absolutely impossible to eliminate Yuan Shao in one fell swoop.  "?" Lu Bu nodded and said, "Now I rely entirely on Ma Chao to provide food and fodder to fight against Cao's thief, but I don't want to succumb to Ma Chao's little thief."  Living in troubled times, who doesn¡¯t want to achieve greatness?  I want to completely break away from Ma Chao's control. I will dominate one side first, and then wait for the opportunity to conquer the world. Please teach me!  "After that, he bowed and gave a deep salute to Chen Gong. Chen Gong was deeply moved. He had always thought that Lu Bu was a hero and had already been interested in getting along with him. This time when he saw Corporal Lu Bu's courtesy, he finally made up his mind. Immediately, he bowed deeply in return, cupped his fists and said: "  The general deserves to be a great hero who stands upright!  The palace is willing to serve the lord as a dog and horse!  " Zhang Yang, Hao Meng, Yang Feng and others also bowed down and said in unison: "I am willing to create great achievements with the Lord!  Lu Bu was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "You all have been my brothers for many years, Lu Bu. Why do you need to be so polite?"  Wouldn't this devastate Lu Bu!  "With that said, he returned a half salute to everyone. Chen Gong said: "If your lord does not want to be dependent on others, now is a good time. I have a plan to ensure that your lord is completely separated from Yuan Shao and Ma Chao, and secures Yanzhou!  After a pause, he continued: "The battle between the two major princes is about to begin. As I expected, the main battlefield will be either Xuzhou or Jingzhou!"  At this juncture, neither Ma Chao nor Yuan Shao want to cause more trouble. If the lord can seize the opportunity, he will surely rise up and become the third largest prince in the world after Ma Chao and Yuan Shao!  " Lu Bu was ecstatic and said anxiously: "Please give me a try on the public platform!  " Chen Gong said: "My lord is worried about, firstly, the stalking Cao thieves, and secondly, choosing a camp to solve the problem of famine among the people of Yanzhou.  The Cao thief is in a similar situation to the lord, but the lord has occupied most of Yanzhou, and the officials in various places are also under our control. As long as we survive this famine, the supply of food and grass supplies will not be a problem in the future. Why do we need to surrender to Ma Chao again?  Although Cao Cao had many soldiers and horses, he only had a few counties under his rule. When the food and grass were exhausted and he was unable to continue, he had no choice but to withdraw from Yanzhou and join Yuan Shao!  Lu Bu nodded repeatedly and said, "What Gongtai said is very reasonable!"  But what to do now?  " Chen Gongdao: "First of all, we must win over the powerful families under our rule, give them more land, and allow them to raise more domestic slaves. In this way, the common people who cannot afford to eat can be turned into domestic slaves. These powerful families will benefit from it and will know how to do it.  Full support to the Lord.  This move runs counter to Ma Chao's move to suppress powerful players, and can also attract more powerful players to come and establish themselves in Yanzhou.  By then, the lord will be closely connected with the interests of these powerful people. For the sake of their own industry, they will never watch the lord be driven out of Yanzhou!  This is one of them.  " "Second, the lord immediately sent people to put Guo Jia and Qin Yi under house arrest, and as a condition, forced Ma Chao to donate one million dendrobium of grain and grass!  This move can solve our army's urgent need and be enough to persist until the Cao thieves are driven away. It can also express its stance to the Yanzhou family and let the world know that the lord and Ma Chao are not the same!  Lu Bu nodded repeatedly and frowned: "The first option is feasible, but once Guo Jia and Qin Yi are put under house arrest, Ma Chao will be angered. Now Jizhou and Xuzhou are heavily deployed by Ma Chao. If he joins forces with Cao's thieves to attack, I will  Wouldn¡¯t it be dangerous to wait!  Chen Gong said: "Don't worry, my lord. Ma Chao is busy dealing with Yuan Shao. Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan in the north are also thorns in Ma Chao's heart. They will never come to attack my lord at this time. When the two princes fight and both sides suffer, my lord will not be afraid of Ma Chao."  .  Lu Bu laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "Gongtai is really my son's room!"  After saying that, he turned around and shouted: "Where is Hao Meng?"  " "Mo Jiang is here!  "Lu Bu said: "You quickly lead a team of swordsmen to capture Guo Jia and Qin Yi and keep them under strict guard!  This will have its own magical effect!  "  "Promise!" Lu Bu nodded, cupped his fists and said, "Please give me a handwritten letter from Gongtai. I will send someone to give it to Ma Chao! Whether it succeeds or not, it all depends on Gongtai!" Chen Gong said: "Don't worry, my lord.  The palace will definitely handle this matter! In addition, General Sun will have to go to Xuzhou to convince Zang Ba. If Zang Ba sends troops to attack Cao's thieves with the lord, Cao's thieves will have no choice but to retreat to Yuzhou. In this way, the lord's situation is complete!  !¡± (To be continued.)
