Xudu suburbs...

At the martial arts venue of Long Xiao Camp, the sounds of "swish, swish, swish" sounded one after another.

Zhuge Jun was holding a continuous crossbow in his hand, and more than ten crossbow arrows were shot out quickly...

Zhuge Jun quickly put a new wooden box on the crossbow, and the "swish, swish, swish" sound came out again... and there were more than ten crossbow arrows firing.

It continued again and again until more than one hundred and forty crossbow arrows were shot out!

Zhuge put down the crossbow, and only one and two of the crossbow arrows shot out fell to the ground.

The rest have almost pierced the stone wall in front of them!

Huo…

Cao Mu, who was watching on the side, was shocked and dropped his chin. Is this crossbow so amazing?

Different from the limited number of crossbow arrows in the "Zhuge Divine Crossbow", this crossbow can shoot infinite arrows...it is much more powerful.

Thinking of this, Cao Mu asked, "Is this the manufacturing map... Lu Ziyu gave you?"

"Yeah!" Zhuge Jun nodded. "For a month, the workshop recruited three thousand craftsmen, and then this was the only way to make this ten thousand crossbows. However, after repeated attempts, I found that... this crossbow also has its disadvantages?"

"What's the disadvantage?" Cao Mu asked in confusion...

"Extreme!" Zhuge Jun replied: "After a continuous crossbow shoots out four hundred crossbow arrows, the strings of the crossbow strings will collapse, and various mechanisms will also suffer a lot of wear and tear! It needs to be repaired..."

"Four hundred?" Cao Mu opened his eyes wide. "There are already many!"

Zhuge Jun shook his head. "Master Lu used this crossbow to deal with the wolf cubs in the north. Those were cavalry. Any mistakes would be lost to the soldiers in the desert!"

"Then... do you still need to continue to improve? It's too late, right?" Cao Mu narrowed his eyebrows... Lu Yu has been leaving Xudu City for more than ten days. He will almost arrive in Yecheng. The northern expedition to Wuhuan is imminent... Can you still wait?

"It's the way for now!" Zhuge Jun sighed... "I will continue to improve here. Please give these ten thousand crossbows, six hundred thousand crossbow arrows, and the 100,000 caltrops from your forging workshop.

Arrive in Yecheng!"

Speaking of this...

Zhuge Jun paused, shook his head again, and sighed: "If there are more skilled craftsmen in the world, then maybe... can solve the problems of this crossbow!"

"This is easy to deal with..." Cao Mu smiled. "I went to find Sister Zhaoji. Lu Ziyu had issued a government order to the Sennong Mansion, and mentioned that... Any invention and creation must be directly rewarded, and a document is signed, and it is even awarded.

The position of PhD in the Imperial Academy is just... this decree has not been issued..."

"My father also attaches great importance to talents and mentioned that 'The intelligence of the world is to control it with the Tao, and he can do anything!' He would also support him when he came to the workshop to recruit talents."

call…

Hearing this, Zhuge Jun looked relieved.

Sure enough, with the Prime Minister's daughter beside her, everything became much simpler.

Didn't you ever think...

At this moment, Cao Mu opened his mouth and added meaningfully: "Jun! Do you know? What is the biggest gap between you and your Master Lu?"

"where?"

"Confidence!" Cao Mu was serious. "You are the head of the workshop, and you are the person Lu Ziyu valued the most, let alone the son-in-law of the prime minister today? With such a status, Xu Du is unique. If you want to do some things, do them.

! Be more confident!”

this…

Zhuge Jun paused for a moment, his face was extremely sad first, and then he calmed down a lot, bowing and saying, "Thank you, Madam!"

Cao Mu smiled...

She suddenly felt that Zhuge Jun was stupid, but... quite cute!

…

…

Xu Du’s official road leading to Yecheng.

The tents covered with Long Xiaoying Camp...

In the dawn, Lu Yu walked out of the tent, and Cao Xiu, who was guarding the door, was in high spirits.

"Young Master, so early!"

"How many days will it take to arrive in Yecheng?" Lu Yu asked...

"If you follow the current speed, you will be here early in the morning!" Dian Wei did not hesitate to think.

Lu Yu nodded...

Speaking of which, he was not busy... The conquest of Wuhuan was not achieved overnight. After all, it was a Hu area outside the Great Wall thousands of miles away. Everything was particularly strange and needed the most meticulous deployment.

What's more, the workshop's crossbow has not been released yet!

This thing is the most effective weapon of destruction in infantry war against cavalry!

"Young Master... I'll be a little confused."

Cao Xiu scratched his head, as if he had something to do in his heart.

"Come on, Wen Lie, come in and talk!"

Lu Yu greeted Cao Xiu and walked into the tent.

On a table, Lu Yu and Cao Xiu sat opposite each other. The latest newspaper and a pot of wine were placed on the table...

Lu Yu poured a bottle of Cao Xiu!

"What's the matter?"

Cao Xiu took the wine, but was not busy drinking. His eyes looked at Lu Yu. "Mr. Lu, the brothers in Long Xiao Camp have been talking about it recently. Why did Mr. Lu adopt different strategies for the Hu people?"

"For example, the Southern Xiongnu, Mr. Lu actually supported the marriage, and the Xianbei, Mr. Lu just sold a large amount of Wushisan, but the strategy of Wuhuan was spread in the camp. Mr. Lu wanted to attack him, and his brothers were curious.

Why is this? Why do the three Hu treat each other?"

Cao Xiu’s problem is the voice of almost all the soldiers of the Long Xiao Camp…

For a lot of time, the soldiers couldn't guess Lu Yu's thoughts!

certainly…

This does not affect morale, it is just a bit inexplicable, hoping to solve the answer.

call…

Hearing this, Lu Yu paused for a moment, thought for a while, and immediately replied, "Wen Lie and the soldiers want to know?"

"Yes!" Cao Xiu nodded.

Lu Yu smiled slightly, "Okay, today I will tell you why the strategy of Wuhuan must be conquered, but the strategy of Xianbei and Southern Xiongnu is mainly to appease!"

Lu Yu took a cup of tea and took a sip.

"Brothers, I'm afraid I don't know what Wuhuan is?"

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes and told Cao Xiu carefully about the origin of the Wuhuan.

Speaking of the origin of the Wuhuan...

Let’s talk about the human race that is divided into China!

One is the "Ancient South China" type, which is mainly distributed in the coastal areas south of the Huai River. Their facial features are wide noses, thick lips and protruding forwards. The Hemudu culture was created by them.

The second is the "Ancient Central Plains" type, which is mainly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, Yangshao, Longshan, and Dawenkou cultures were created by them.

For example, the remains in Anyang Yinxu tombs are mainly this type of person.

In addition, there is also the "Ancient Northwest" type that created the Majiayao culture;

The "Ancient North China" type and the "Ancient Northeast" type that creates the upper-class culture of Xiajiadian!

In addition, what we want to talk about next is the "Ancient Mongolian Plateau Type" closely related to the origin of "Wuhuan"!

As the name suggests, this type of race is mainly divided into the Mongolian Plateau and surrounding areas, and is characterized by low skull, zygomatic bones and wide faces... In ancient times, many ethnic groups belonged to the "Ancient Mongolian Plateau type", including the Xiongnu, Donghu, and

Later Mongolia and Khitan!

According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", Wuhuan is the "Donghu", and they are all part of the origin of China.

To put it simply, during the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Huns defeated the Wuhuan in all parts. One of the Donghu tribes that were broken up by the Huns regrouped with Wuhuan Mountain as the center, and the Wuhuan was formed.

And when the Donghu was completely conquered by the Huns, the Wuhuan people lived a miserable life!

The Huns must be provided with leather for cattle, sheep and horses every year. If not, their wives and children will be kidnapped by the Huns!

Lu Yu told Cao Xiu about the origin of Wuhuan in a simplified manner...

Cao Xiu listened patiently, just like... the history of these Hu people is a huge blind spot for him... and even for all the soldiers!

"Have the Wuhuan people been living such a miserable life?"

Cao Xiu asked back...

Lu Yu's words continued: "Yes, until the Emperor Wu Dynasty, the Han army launched the Battle of Mobei. Although this battle did not achieve the goal of completely annihilated the main force of the Xiongnu Shanyu, the Huo Qubing Legion on the east road severely damaged Zuo Xianwangyi
