The Legend of Yuan Yao in the Three Kingdoms

Sure enough, Huang Zhong frowned and said, "Xu'er, you told me the truth, but Mr. Yuan taught you to say so?"

My father always asked this question, Huang Xu naturally didn't want to lie anymore.

It's just that Yuan Yao did not teach these words, Huang Xu just responded honestly: "The child Yuan Gongzi has never taught, but his intention to ask his father to be an official is also revealed."

These one and two are also sincere people!

Huang Zhong didn't get angry when he heard it, he just let out a long sigh, and said again: "Xu'er, it's not that you don't have ambitions to be a father, it's just that we came here, and there are many twists and turns, and it's not good to be a father. Invest in the Yuan family."

Huang Xu couldn't hear it for a while and couldn't ask anymore.

That's what my father said, and it's a bit impolite for me to break the casserole and ask the end.

Unexpectedly, Huang Xu didn't speak, but Huang's mother couldn't bear it anymore.

But Mrs. Huang said: "As a woman, I should abide by my duty and should not make suggestions at will. But now I have heard what my husband said, but I have something to say."

Huang Zhong knew that his wife was also a staunch person, and supported him a lot on weekdays, so he said so today, and it was impossible not to let her say it, so he had to smile wryly: "Madam has something to say, but I can stop it. "

But Mrs. Huang made a salute. First she apologized, and then said: "The kindness in the world, what kind of kindness can compare with the kindness of saving lives? The kindness of saving lives is as high as the sky, as deep as the river!"

"If there is no genius doctor, can Xu'er live today? If there is no Mr. Yuan, will the genius doctor come to rescue him?"

"Now that my husband is under Mr. Yuan's account, it's not for accomplishing great things, but for repaying your kindness!"

Huang Zhong's heart was shocked when he heard it, he was finally moved, and he let go and said: "However, Mr. Yuan is fighting with Liu Zhoumu today, and Zhou Mu has treated me Huang Zhong well. Xiang Xiangyang!"

As soon as these words came out, Huang Xu hurriedly said: "It turns out that this is what my father is worried about. Don't worry, my father. Mr. Yuan is full of pearls. How can he not know what his father is depressed about?"

"I expect that even if my father is in the account of Mr. Yuan, Mr. Yuan will not let his father go to Xiangyang. Instead, he will stay here and be a coach."

"Teacher?"

"That's right! Mr. Yuan wants to build a camp of strong bows. Even if his father becomes an official, he may not be able to go to the battlefield for a while. Instead, he has to go to the teaching field first."

Huang Zhong was only taken aback when he heard this, but he secretly planned in his heart.

Not on the battlefield, only on the teaching field?

This does not seem to be impossible.

I just don't know what kind of strong bow it is.

Chapter 169 Strong Army Plan

Yuan Yao did not expect that Huang Zhong's wife would play the most crucial role in the end.

He was thinking about the longbow.

The idea of ​​this longbow is naturally derived from the English longbow of later generations.

Longbowmen are undoubtedly a powerful defensive weapon.

In the Central Plains, although most of them are plains, the cavalry has a huge advantage.

But when it comes time to defend and attack the city, the cavalry is not very useful.

When the time comes for the longbowmen to stand on the city, the range of hundreds of feet, the rain of arrows like a barrage of bullets, will not scare the crap out of the opponent.

Even in field battles, the rain of arrows all over the sky has a huge strategic effect.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yao couldn't help feeling a little flattered.

However, the only problem now is whether this longbow can be produced according to the current level of craftsmanship.

In fact, it stands to reason that this English longbow should not be too complicated.

After all, this does not involve steelmaking and iron making, nor does it involve leather forging.

The main thing to pay attention to is the production of bowstrings and the skills of projectiles.

But the problem was that Yuan Yao didn't know how the English longbow was made at all. His only impression was that the bowstring was big and long enough.

In addition, the longbow is made without fire, so as not to make the bow lose its tension.Instead, rely on a special bracket and slowly pull the string.

Thinking about it this way, mass production seems to be a bit difficult.

Apart from that, Yuan Yao's eyes were also smeared, and he was no different from people of this era.

...

Although Yuan Huan had worked hard for a long time on farming, and had been exchanging letters with Yuan Yao on a daily basis, this was the first time he had seen Yuan Yao in several months.

Compared with when he got married, Yuan Yao didn't seem to have changed much.

It's just that in just a few months, this form has changed so much that I can't understand it.

This change is not only based on the expansion of the region, but also the change of the reputation!

Now the general's reputation is much better than it was a year ago.

At this time, it was just the autumn harvest, and Yuan Huan was not as busy day and night as before. When he was free, he was summoned to Jiang Xia by Yuan Yao.

Of course, Yuan Huan's status needless to say, if it was a year ago, let alone Yuan Yao's summoning, even Yuan Shu's words would be ignored by Yuan Huan.

It's just that what Yuan Yao is doing now is to make Yuan Huan more and more pleasing to the eye, and he will not be able to handle it when he has time.

And coming with Yuan Huan, there is also a group of craftsmen summoned for the production of the waterwheel last time.

...

Seeing Yuan Huan, Yuan Yao was also very kind, after all, this was the person who greeted his relatives with him back then!

But Yuan Yao shouted directly: "My Diannong Zhonglang General! These days are too hard!"

Yuan Huan was tired, obviously he was in a good mood, and he even responded jokingly: "Young master really found me a good job."

"Haha, I've been thinking about such important matters, but besides Yaoqing, who else can do it?"

Yuan Yao first praised Yuan Huan, and then got straight to the point: "Is the development of the waterwheel in the craftsman's workshop going smoothly?"

Hearing about the serious business, Yuan Huan also immediately responded: "It is the continuous improvement day and night, in order to make it more convenient to operate."

Yuan Yao nodded when he heard that, but said again: "I want to make the craftsman workshop suspend the research on waterwheels from tomorrow."

Yuan Huan was taken aback when he heard it, and immediately came to his senses and said, "But the young master has other uses?"

But Yuan Yao said loudly: "Exactly, I want to build a strong bow battalion to face more difficult wars in the future!"

There was a slight pause as he spoke, and it was obvious that Yuan Huan didn't react much, and then he said: "However, I only know a little about how to make a strong bow, and the craftsmen need to study it with great concentration."

Yuan Huan immediately understood.

The bow is made by kneading wood and stringing it to shoot arrows. It should be made by craftsmen.

Just listening to the meaning of the young master's words, there seems to be no reference to the strong bow he made.

As for the ambition revealed in the young master's words, after this year, who could fail to see that Yuan Huan also understood what he meant by "a more difficult war".

Immediately, he responded: "Now the waterwheel is sufficient for daily use. Since the young master is of great use to the craftsman, I should listen to the young master."

"It's just that the method of making bows may have to be discussed with the craftsmen in person. If someone passes it down, there may be differences."

Yuan Yao nodded when he heard it.

It has long been thought that the method of making bows must be to discuss with the craftsmen in person.

Although I don't know much about it, but now I can't be timid, so I can only say: "I can't get away from Jiangxia now, I want to set up a workshop here, just for this purpose!"

Yuan Huan immediately responded: "My lord, don't worry, I have ordered most of the craftsmen to come here and wait for their call, it's just"

Sure enough, it was still Yuan Huan, who said that he couldn't help but make some suggestions in the end.

Yuan Yao naturally smiled, and only signaled Yuan Huan to continue.

Yuan Huan was also intimidated by Yuan Shu. Every time Yuan Shu made a suggestion, Yuan Shu basically went in one ear and out the other. Seeing that the young master has outstanding talents today, he was a little worried about gains and losses.

But in the end he still cupped his hands and said: "But since this is a new bow to be made, we have to rely on a good archer to try it out repeatedly. Otherwise, it's like building a car behind closed doors, and it will definitely miss the point."

Yuan Yao laughed and said, "What should I do? Don't worry Yaoqing, I am already the best archer in the world for this big man!"

"First class?"

"That's right, this person said he was number two, but no one dares to say he's number one!"

Yuan Huan didn't doubt it when he heard it, and also lamented Yuan Yao's thoroughness in doing things, and finally agreed: "Since the young master has everything ready, let's do it as soon as possible!"

In the following month, Yuan Huan watched step by step how this new bow and arrow was formed.

...

"Young master, the style of your longbow is really unimaginable. It is difficult to draw the string, but how to shoot."

"Hey, you guys don't understand this. It's difficult to shoot flat, but it can be used for projectiles."

"What is projectile?"

"Throwing is shooting from the bottom up, forming a parabola, which can make the arrow shoot extremely far."

"Bottom-up? How powerful is this possible?"

"You just don't care about it, just follow this pattern."

"Young master has such a long bow, how do you pull the string?"

"Ahem, what about this? I still need you to try a lot to see what kind of tree material is suitable for this bow."

"Young master, can this bow be made? We have tried many wood materials, but we can't stand it."

"Hey, don't be discouraged, this must be possible. Anyway, I sent all your family members to Jiangxia, and now I don't have any worries. If you don't make it in a day, do it in a day, and if you don't make it in a ten-day period, do it in a ten-day period. Don't worry about it." in a hurry."

"My lord, my lord, take a quick look, is this bow ready?"

"It looks a little bit better, but this arrow has to be changed, don't worry, and study carefully."

...

"My lord, look at this bow, but you're done?"

at last!

Looking at the longbow that finally looked a bit like it, Yuan Yao, who had been in the workshop for a month, said like holding a treasure: "Good bow! I'm going to find someone to try it, don't stop, and continue to make it." Bow!"

"General Huang, try this newly made bow and arrow."

"This bow is so big, how can you ride and shoot right away?"

"Naturally, you don't shoot on horseback. You only use foot combat, and you have to use the method of projectile, which can shoot hundreds of feet away!"

"Oh? Old man, come and try!"

"call out!"

"How far?"

"fifteen feet"

"Come again!"

"Twenty feet"

"Thirty feet"

"Fifty feet"

Chapter 170 Longbow Battalion and Jiefan Army

Jiangxia, a certain military camp outside Xiling City, gathered many soldiers today.

It's just that these sergeants don't belong to one unit, but come from various camps.

Gathering here today is for a thing called "selection".

And the reason why there are so many people is because if they are selected, the rewards will be too generous.

The monthly military salary alone is three times the original amount.

I don't even know what I chose to do.

Although I was full of curiosity in my heart, there was no noise in the barracks.

Just because on the high platform of the military camp, there is the son of the Yuan family, the supreme commander of Jingzhou, Yuan Yao, the young man of Jiangdong.

But Yuan Yao shouted: "Listen up, officers and men, we are gathered here today to select two hundred best archers. As long as they are selected, they will all be included in the Longbow Battalion in the future, and will be supervised by the head coach Huang. practice!"
