Lu Bu received a total of 10,000 points as rewards for two consecutive temporary missions: pacifying the Xiongnu rebellion in the south of Hetao and defeating the Xianbei Kebi Neng tribe.
At this time, Lu Bu was taking a boat down the Dan River.
Now, Lu Bu passed through the North and Dingxiang's two decisive battles against the Xiongnu and Xianbei have basically cleared away the hidden dangers in the northern borders of Yongbin and the two states.
At the same time, Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi and returned.
His vitality was severely damaged.
It was difficult for him to protect himself, let alone have any thoughts about Lu Bu.
Therefore, Lu Bu shifted his strategic focus to the south again, so he took his family back to build the city again.
The ship entered the Nanxiang Basin shortly after entering the Han River.
At a glance, Lu Bu saw that the Nanxiang Plain on the east coast was now desolate, uninhabited for thousands of miles, and the wormwood was half as tall as a man.
After the war in Nanxiang, the civilians fled in all directions.
About 100,000 of them crossed the Han River and took refuge in Lu Bu's territory.
After the boat entered the water gate of the city, there was another scene.
Behind the valley defense line, there were roads and roads, and the crops in the fields were growing well.
Farmers took advantage of the slack season in early summer to clean up and clear irrigation ditches.
Lu Bu's general secretary showed him the bills.
So far, the three states and two counties under Lu Bu's jurisdiction have enough grain to support the territory's population of 1.6 million for three years.
The three city-sized Aocangs built in Hanzhong, Guanzhong, and Zhugu are already full, and a new Aocang must be built on a site.
Lu Bu came to the palace, called up the system panel, upgraded the palace to Dark Age Advanced, and upgraded the workshop to Dark Age Advanced, spending a total of 7,000 points.
Advanced workshops in the Dark Ages could produce more sophisticated parts.
Metal parts such as ratchets, moving pulleys, gears, etc. where the error does not exceed half a millimeter.
Of course, the advanced workshops of the Dark Ages were still unable to produce the precision components used in nineteenth-century machines.
But these can already meet one of Lu Bu's special manufacturing needs, the Liannu.
This repeating crossbow uses a movable pulley embedded in the arrow groove to reduce the power threshold required to pull the crossbow string in half, and allows the crossbowman to pull the crossbow string in multiple stages through the action of a ratchet.
Because you don't have to worry about whether the crossbow hand can pull it open, you can greatly increase the tension of the crossbow, thereby enhancing the muzzle velocity and power of the arrow.
The reason why it is called a repeating crossbow is because it can automatically load arrows.
When the crossbow string is pulled, the button of the arrow box is touched to release.
The arrows in the arrow box fall into the arrow trough under the action of gravity, and the button of the arrow box is released.
Reclose.
Lu Bu used a unique lock design to ensure that only one arrow could fall into the arrow slot at a time, and then immediately lock the arrow box.
Lu Bu had seen the restored structure diagram of Zhuge Liannu in his previous life, but whether it was historical records or his analysis of Zhuge Liannu's structure, the conclusion was that Zhuge Liannu could only be "civilian", which means the power of Zhuge Liannu It can only be used to hunt rabbits, or to protect women and children from thieves.
Lu Bu, who was proficient in mechanics in his previous life, certainly knew the reason.
In order to use gravity to load the arrow, the Zhuge Liannu could only use the arm-stretching method, and it did not have a pulley and ratchet mechanism like the Lu Bu Liannu, so the crossbow could only be reduced.
The tension or displacement of the string ensures that ordinary people can use it.
In this way, the power will naturally be small.
In addition, it does not have an exquisite locking design like the Lu Bu Repeating Crossbow.
It relies on narrowing the gap between the arrow trough and the arrow box to ensure that only one arrow is shot at a time.
In this way, the arrow being shot is actually shot by the previous arrow.
An arrow is pressed against it, and this friction naturally greatly weakens the kinetic energy of the arrow.
Lu Bu came to the workshop with the blueprints he had already designed, and soon after careful discussions with the craftsmen, the first sample of the repeating crossbow was built.
After trying it out at the shooting range of the military camp, Lu Bu came to the conclusion that the firing range was close to that of an ordinary crossbow and could reach 100 meters.
After a short period of training, an ordinary county soldier's infantry could fire as fast as a Huben archer using a bow and arrow to shoot accurately.
Same rate of fire.
In the early spring of the 10th year of Jian'an, in the yamen of Jiangling Mansion in Nanjun.
Liu Bei was sitting happily at the head of the table, feasting on the ministers.
At this time, in addition to the confiscation and recovery of Xiangyang, Liu Bei had occupied six counties: Wuling, Lingling, Guilin, Changsha, Jiangxia, and Nanjun.

And obtained a large number of civil servants and generals, including first-class talents such as Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan.
And Liu Cong, who was recommended by Liu Bei as the governor of Jingzhou, died of an inexplicable illness.
In this way, Liu Bei became the Lord of Jingzhou both in fact and in name.
For Liu Bei, this was a long-lost feeling.
After many years, he finally had his own foundation again.
No, the situation is actually better than when he was the lord of Xuzhou many years ago.
Although Liu Bei was the lord of Xuzhou at that time, he was surrounded by powerful neighbors.
Every prince in the surrounding area was stronger than him and could swallow him up at any time.
At this time, Liu Bei thought that the only five princes left in the world were Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Zhang and himself.
Lu Bu is not adjacent to his own territory and cannot threaten him.
Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi and returned home.
Within a few years, he no longer had the power to threaten himself.
As for Sun Quan, first of all, he is an ally with him, and secondly, he also lost his vitality in the Battle of Chibi, so it is also impossible to threaten him.
Under such circumstances, how long would it take to conquer the Bashu land to the west without following Zhuge Liang's strategy?
Liu Bei frowned when he thought of Liu Zhang who had conquered Bashu.
Zhuge Liang, who was sitting next to him, saw the clues and smiled and whispered to Liu Bei: "My lord, I am worried about entering Shu and becoming a teacher without a name."
"The military advisor can indeed read people's hearts, and Bei really wanted to march westward to Bashu according to the military advisor's strategy back then.
But I won the trust of the world with my benevolence and righteousness.
Liu Zhang and I are of the same Han Dynasty, and our position as Yizhou Shepherd was clearly conferred by the imperial court. .My attack Wouldn't taking Bashu ruin your reputation?
More importantly, the road from Jingzhou to Bashu is difficult to reach the sky.
There is only a gorge river connecting Bashu and Jingzhou.
If we attack hard, even if we win, we will definitely suffer a lot of losses. , The vitality is greatly damaged.”
Pang Tong, who was sitting on the other side of Liu Bei, laughed loudly and said to Liu Bei: "My lord, you can rest assured.
In a few days, Liu Zhang of Yizhou will send people to welcome my lord to Shu.
After my lord enters Shu, he will justifiably conquer Yizhou."
There are not many opportunities for Bashu to be captured.
How did my lord get Xuzhou back then?
How did he get Jingzhou today?
How will he get Yizhou tomorrow?
" Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this and asked, "Shi Yuan has already devised a clever plan."
Pang Tong smiled and said nothing, minding his own business picking up food and drinking wine.
Zhuge Liang whispered a few words next to Liu Bei's big ears, and Liu Bei suddenly smiled.
Sure enough, more than a month later, Liu Zhang from Bashu sent an envoy to see Liu Bei.
The envoy's rank was not low, and he was Liu Zhang's important minister Fazheng.
After seeing Liu Bei, he immediately explained his purpose of coming and asked Liu Bei to go to Shu to help Liu Biao resist Lu Bu.
In the past year, Liu Zhang discovered that Lu Bu was gathering troops on the border between Bashu and Hanzhong, and he was ready to invade Bashu southward at any time.
Liu Zhang's important ministers Zhang Song and Fazheng took the opportunity to persuade Liu Zhang to invite Liu Bei to Shu to fight against Lu.
Of course, it was true that these two young men invited Liu Bei to join Shu, but it was false to fight against Lu.
Their real intention was to let Liu Bei take over Bashu, and then You can rise to great heights along with it
