Chapter 125 The Other Side of Ji Hao

"I was just about to say that!" Zhuge Liang showed a serious look and said, "I have the Eight Diagrams, which can explore the world and spy on the enemy's strengths and weaknesses. But my wooden eagle was discovered by Ji Hao and shot through with an arrow. It was too late. For now, there is only one last resort left, you can try it."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and took out a carrier pigeon.

On the surface, it looks like an ordinary pigeon.

Nothing special.

But Liu Bei always felt something was wrong, so he reached out and touched it, only to find that it was actually a wooden pigeon - that's right, it was not a living thing, but a dead thing!

Like the eagle before, it is also a tool for detecting the enemy.

Similar to Zhang Jiao's "throwing beans to turn into soldiers" spell.

This world is not history, but a combination of novels, history, and television. According to several versions, Guan Yu still sold mung beans, Zhang Fei still sold pork, and Liu Bei still sold straw sandals.

But the difference, the stuff about spells, does exist.

Zhang Jue really knew how to turn beans into soldiers.

Yu Ji is not completely normal either. Apart from his tough technological work, his spirit is obviously much stronger than that of normal people. He can be full of energy after sleeping only one hour a day. Hua Tuo's knife skills are also a little too magical.

They are all between "fantasy" and "reality".

In other words, there is definitely no magic that can directly destroy thousands of troops, but there are magic that can deal with one person, or ordinary people, that do exist.

Zhuge Liang's "wooden eagle" and today's "mechanical pigeon" are just that.

Metaphysics combined with technology.

A thing that does not exist in reality.

"This cloud-detecting pigeon is something I carefully crafted. If I can find an opportunity to infiltrate the intelligence department of the Datong Society and use it as a carrier pigeon to send messages to Youzhou, there is a great chance that I can hide it from Ji Hao." Zhuge Liang said, "If the speed is fast enough, I can catch up with the battle in Youzhou. As it is the first large-scale invasion of the Hu people, based on my understanding of Ji Hao, I am likely to see a completely different side of him!"

He had to watch the fight. He would watch if there was even a slight chance.

Because Ji Hao has too many cards in his hand.

Zhuge Liang had absolute confidence in his own wisdom, and besides himself, he also had a virtuous wife at home who was skilled in the art of mechanical devices - yes, Huang Yueying was the true successor of the art of mechanical devices.

But he is actually more inclined to "mysterious arts" and is better at military formations.

In general, as long as he knew what Ji Hao had, he could provide the ideas to his wife, and then Huang Yueying could use the art of mechanism to reversely infer and make something similar.

This is the source of his “one point” chance of winning against Ji Hao.

Otherwise, in his opinion, the chances of Sun Ce and Liu Bei winning by using military tactics were zero, absolutely none.

When Ji Hao sent out an army of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, even the most powerful dynasties of the old era combined would not be able to withstand it, let alone Sun and Liu?
"The other side of Ji Hao?" Liu Bei fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he said, "We'll have to see. I don't know if it's an illusion, but when I face him, I always feel that he doesn't let go of his hands and feet. The only time he was so powerful was when we attacked Yuan Shu's mechanical city."

What will happen when Ji Hao doesn't seek stability?

Liu Bei was really curious.

In fact, not only him, but everyone in Jiying was also very curious.

"Your Majesty, I remember you said that you didn't want to use the weapons of the 'Science Academy' and the 'Imperial Hospital' against the people of the Central Plains. Now the Hu King 'Murong Kai' of the Xianbei side has offered himself to us. Can we let him go for now?" Cao Cao said.

In recent years, Qingzhou has been changing with each passing day, and its weapons have naturally been updated several times.

But in frontal combat, Ji Hao had hardly ever fought.

The million-strong army of Yuan Shao was defeated by just throwing roujiamo. The record was amazing, but the combat experience was terrible.

“We have to give him a good shock!” Ji Hao nodded.

Over the years, he has not stopped winning over the surrounding small countries, especially the various tribes of the Hu people, using cultural invasion to make them accept the "Chinese language" and "Hanfu" first, while vigorously promoting the "Yanhuang Coin", which is the currency issued by Ji Hao in Qingzhou.

He wanted to assimilate them first, and then migrate several times more people there. After a few years, he would be able to conquer the land and lay the foundation for the unification of the earth in the future.

This even led to the policy of "sending children to the countryside".

Even young men who have reached a certain age in the mainland, in addition to their wives in the Central Plains, would go to the Hu areas to marry a group of concubines and have many children.

Combined with Ji Hao's support and the prosperity of the Central Plains.

The Hu people had gradually formed the idea of ​​"valuing girls over boys", and the assimilation policy was very successful.

But at this time, "colleagues" appeared: there was a branch of the Xianbei tribe called Murong, and there was a man called "Murong Kai" who was doing the same thing.

Assimilate other Hu people and strengthen yourself.

And it’s done pretty well.

In fact, when the Five Barbarians invaded China, the Murong clan intermarried with the Han people, hoping to assimilate them for their own use. Unfortunately, due to the cultural gap, the Murong clan was assimilated instead.

Later generations such as Li Shimin, who had Xianbei ancestry, only respected the Han people and did not mention the Xianbei.

"Murong Kai is also a talent. If possible, I plan to subdue him. Well, let him go in for some intensive training. He should be able to become an outstanding Datong Master!" Ji Hao said, "But before that, I must let him know that not everyone can learn from me to become a capable person!"

Murong Kai not only gathered his own forces, but also Goguryeo and the Xiongnu, and several coalition forces wanted to plunder Youzhou.

Use the wealth of Youzhou to help the Murong clan assimilate other Hu people.

The calculation is really brilliant.

"Pull the Hongwu cannon over, and pair it with a few 'Yunlong cannons'!" Ji Hao said.

Over the years, Ji Ying has been researching artillery shells, and he named them "Era".

When the technology reached the level of the Ming Dynasty, it was called the Hongwu Cannon. By the Qing Dynasty... well, it was not up to standard and it was a regression, as there was no such model.

Behind the Hongwu Cannon is the "Yunlong Cannon".

Named after a group leader.

To put it simply, it is the "Italian cannon" during World War II.

Things of that level cannot be mass-produced for the time being, but Yu Ji personally led the craftsmen to work on it, and a non-mass-produced prototype has been produced and is ready for use.

The caliber is still oversized.

Ji Hao thought it looked pretty good.

"Also, the wall of Youzhou has not been repaired yet. Just in case, let's transfer the 'Xiaomi Camp' over there as well! It has been kept for so long without being used. It's time to pull it out for training before it becomes useless."

……

At the same time, on the other side, "Xianbei King" Murong Kai, "Mountain King" Yanyou, and "Grassland King" Mao Jianli were discussing the looting of Qingzhou.

Murong Kai sat at the top, Yan You on the left, and Mao Jianli on the right.

"We are facing a coward from the Central Plains, called 'City King'. He is known for his bravery, but his ability to govern the local area is very poor. He has military power but does nothing but build city walls and close the gates." Murong Kai said: "Now he is building the city wall in Youzhou. I heard that the meat he prepared for the farmers alone is worth millions of stones, and countless gold and silver."

After saying that, he paused and continued.

"If we can plunder the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, I'll take half, Yanyou will take 30%, and Mao Jianli can get 20% - that's enough for you to unify the Xiongnu and become the true king of the grassland!"

"When the time comes, I can give you an extra share when you plunder again!"

When he spoke, it was as if he had Ji Hao in his grasp and regarded the wealth of Youzhou as something in his pocket.

However, neither Yanyou nor Mao Jianli noticed that Murong Kai's brows revealed a trace of solemnity, and when the two of them were vying to take the lead, he showed no intention of competing at all.

"Okay, okay, I'll lead the way for you!"
