Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 579: Thunderbolt Car Birth

Seeing Zhang Sui coming in with a messy hair, Tian Feng said, "The lord is here."

Lu Su and the young talent turned around and looked over.

Lu Su bowed first and said, "My Lord!"

The young man followed suit and saluted.

Zhang Sui smiled at Lu Su and the young man, and asked Tian Feng, "Sir, why are you looking for me so urgently?"

Tian Feng picked up a wooden box from the table and handed it to the young man.

The young man took the wooden box and said to Zhang Sui, "My lord, I am Liu Ye from Chengde, Huainan. This is the first gift I present to you."

Zhang Sui looked at Liu Ye, took the wooden box and said with a smile: "Let me see what the gift is. Is it Zheng Bao's head?"

Tian Feng, Lu Su and Liu Ye looked at each other in shock.

No one has ever mentioned that Liu Ye had previously served under Zheng Bao, the bandit leader of Shu County, Lujiang.

How did this lord know this?
Liu Ye had seen Zhang Sui appear with sleepy eyes before, and he was somewhat skeptical about the ability of this young lord.

He even thought that Zhang Sui was able to reach such a level because of the support of his deputy Tian Feng.

Now it seems that things are not as I expected.

Zhang Sui opened the wooden box and found a human head inside.

Lu Su couldn't help but ask curiously: "My Lord, how did you know that the head of Zheng Bao was placed here?"

"Although Zheng Bao has some reputation and strength, and has more than 10,000 bandits under his command, he should not be considered a big deal in the eyes of the lord."

Tian Feng and Liu Ye also looked over.

Zhang Sui raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "I can tell fortunes. I've said that before."

Looking at Tian Feng, Zhang Sui said, "Sir, you should know clearly."

Only then did Tian Feng come to his senses.

Zhang Sui had also done fortune-telling for him when he was in Yecheng before.

That was also one of the reasons why he decided to give up Yuan Shu and follow his disciple.

But I was somewhat skeptical at the time.

However, he did not expect that his disciple would show his talent again today.

Tian Feng nodded to Lu Su and Liu Ye and said, "This, the lord has demonstrated it before, I think it is quite accurate."

Lu Su and Liu Ye looked at each other, and both became more shocked.

He is so young, yet he has so many talents!
Liu Ye was a little at a loss for a moment.

He had previously thought that it was a shocking thing for him to single-handedly kill Marshal Zheng Bao in a crowd of thousands of people, and that it would at least leave the new lord Zhang Sui dumbfounded.

But now, he felt that he was too naive.

Tian Feng saw that Liu Ye was still in a daze, so he hurriedly asked, "Zi Yang, why are you still in a daze? Aren't you going to show the lord how you can break Shouchun?"

Liu Ye finally came to his senses and suppressed his embarrassment. He bowed solemnly to Zhang Sui and said, "My Lord, the letter from the governor of Xuzhou said that if I can come up with a way to defeat Shouchun, you will let me be promoted directly to the rank of military advisor and lieutenant general?"

Zhang Sui nodded.

Liu Ye made a gesture of invitation and said, "My lord, please move!"

"My method can definitely help Po Shouchun!"

“It’s just that it can’t be shown here.”

When Zhang Sui heard Liu Ye say this, he already knew what he was going to do.

He asked someone to call Huang Yueying over.

A moment later, Huang Yueying came over wearing a veil.

The group then followed Liu Ye out of the government office and came to the open space in front of it.

Tian Feng had already called some carpenters and soldiers according to Liu Ye's request and moved various trees over.

Liu Ye took out a scroll from his sleeve, opened it, and spread it on the ground.

There are many drawings inside.

The drawings also indicate various sizes.

Zhang Sui was standing nearby and dozing off.

He wasn't very interested in the Thunderbolt car.

Especially the drawings drawn by Liu Ye were marked with various numbers, which made him feel a little numb.

He didn't like numbers before he traveled through time. When he was a freshman in college, he studied engineering drawing, and all kinds of numbers made him feel like dying.

And now, among his women, there is one who is proficient in numbers - Huang Yueying.

He was too lazy to think about these questions.

Tian Feng and Lu Su also frowned when they looked at these pictures and numbers.

Only Liu Ye was greeting the craftsmen, talking excitedly and incessantly, with saliva flying everywhere.

Huang Yueying stood to one side, her emerald green eyes fixed on the drawings. Her red lips kept opening and closing, as if she was calculating something.

Liu Ye was directing the craftsmen to work.

Huang Yueying followed the instructions.

Liu Ye watched Huang Yueying look through the drawings and was actually able to help him direct the craftsmen, which surprised him.

Tian Feng returned to the hall of the mansion early to continue his busy work.

Only Zhang Sui and Lu Su were left sitting on a bench, basking in the cold sun and watching a group of people busying around with boredom.

After working from morning till dusk, with the assistance of Liu Ye, Huang Yueying and other craftsmen, the first Thunderbolt Chariot in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was officially born.

The soldiers brought in a catapult.

The thunder chariot and the catapult threw stones one after another.

Compared to the catapult, the Thunderbolt Chariot is not only much larger in size, but the stones it throws are more than twice as heavy, and the distance it can throw is nearly a hundred steps longer!
Zhang Sui looked at the deep pit created by the stones thrown by the Thunderbolt Chariot, and immediately announced that Liu Ye would be the Military Advisor General, and serve as one of the military advisors of Chen Deng, the commander-in-chief of the siege of Shouchun!

Three days later, all the civil and military officials of Xuzhou and Lujiang gathered in the hall of Xia Pi government office to discuss sending troops to Shouchun.

After some serious discussion, the time for dispatching the troops was set on the 20th day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Jian'an, which was five days later.

Commander-in-chief: Chen Deng.

Commander: Zhang He.

Military advisors: Liu Ye and Chen Gong.

Commander of Xuzhou’s First Army: Tian Yu.

Deputy generals: Zang Ba, Sun Guan, and Wei Xu.

Number of soldiers: 6,000.

Commander of the Xuzhou Second Army: Gao Lan.

Deputy generals: Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, Xu Dan.

Vanguard: Lu Su and Chen Dao.

Number of soldiers: 7,000.

Commander of the First Army of Lujiang: Gan Ning.

Deputy General: Su Fei.

Number of soldiers: three thousand.

Commander of the Lujiang Second Army: Zhang Xun.

Deputy general: Liu Xie.

Number of soldiers: 5,000.

Xuzhou grain and fodder supervisor: Chen Jiao.

Lujiang grain and fodder transport supervisor: Yang Hong.

The person in charge of guarding Xuzhou was Tian Feng.

The person in charge of guarding Lujiang was Zhao Yun.

In this great battle, Zhang Sui will follow with his personal soldiers to boost morale, but he will not participate in the fighting.

After the meeting, everyone entered a state of combat readiness.

Zhang Sui made it clear at the meeting that this battle of attack and defense of Shouchun would be the only large-scale battle in the next two years.

If you miss this opportunity, it will be almost impossible to get promoted based on your military achievements in the next two years.

Moreover, after this battle, Zhang Sui will personally lead some meritorious soldiers back to Yecheng to recuperate and prepare for a large-scale battle two years later.

Zhang then returned to his residence and asked Huang Yueying to dress up as a personal soldier and follow among the personal soldiers.

Zhang Sui hoped that Huang Yueying would see a real war so that she could make weapons that would be truly beneficial for large-scale combat, such as Huihui cannons, three-bow crossbows, or even muskets and cannons.
