The third lottery draw began.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the production process of the 'Triple Crossbow'.”
After looking at the introduction, Zhao Feng's eyebrows were filled with joy because the craftsmanship of the triple crossbow was too useful to him.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, crossbows were prohibited from being made and sold by the people.
Because it was easy to operate, even a ten-year-old child could play with it. It was also very powerful, so the government prohibited private possession.
Crossbows were used in many ways in the army.
Relatively speaking, the threshold for archery was higher.
Drawing a bow and shooting an arrow might seem like a simple task, but if one wanted to practice it to a certain level and hit wherever one pointed, it was not that simple.'
Of the two hundred people under Zhao Feng's command, half of them were new recruits.
Even veterans who could do whatever they wanted were not many.
? Thus, the three repeating crossbows would be a huge boost for Zhao Feng.
Moreover, archery consumed a lot of physical energy. Every time he pulled the bow, he needed to consume physical energy. Crossbows did not have such troublesome things.
It was easier to operate and more energy-saving. Moreover, it could shoot farther and had greater power.
The crossbows in the army were all single-shot crossbows. After shooting an arrow, they needed to be reinstalled.
The system gave Zhao Feng an upgraded version of the Triple Crossbow that could shoot three arrows at once.
Actually, there was something even more awesome.
The Zhuge Repeating Crossbow could shoot ten bolts at a time.
However, there was also a problem. It was too huge and required two or three people to operate it. It could not be used in the field at all. It could only be used to defend the city wall.
The triple crossbow was even smaller and could be used by both infantry and cavalry.
He could just carry it on his back. It was simple and convenient.
? In Zhao Feng's current situation, he didn't even have a city, only a mountain.
The value of the Triple Repeating Crossbow was definitely higher than the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.
……
After returning to Mount White Wave, Cai Yan was very surprised.
? Zhao Feng had only left for less than two days, and he had already finished his task?
? After hearing Zhao Feng's battle results, they were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
Two hundred men had killed nearly two thousand of the Wei Clan's people. No one would believe such a result.
After Cai Yan recovered from his shock, he took advantage of the time when the others were celebrating to pull Zhao Feng to the side.
"Zhao Bolong, I really want to ask you a question."”
"Feel free to ask."
"With your military talent, have you never planned to serve the emperor?”
"With your ability, I believe that sooner or later, you will become a famous general of the world and bring blessings to future generations.”
"I don't have any plans, and I'm not interested in being a general.”Zhao Feng replied.
"Why? Isn't it better to be a general than to hide in Mount Whitewave? Your brothers don't have to live a life where there's no tomorrow.”Cai Yan asked in confusion.
"If I said that not long from now, the country will be no more, the Liu family will lose their dignity as the emperor, and the vassals will rise up, would you believe me?”
"Are you kidding me? Although there was a Yellow Turban uprising two years ago, the past two years had been very stable. There had been no war. How could the country be in danger?”
? Zhao Feng shook his head," What you see is only the surface. The Han Dynasty is already riddled with holes.”
"The Yellow Turban Uprising two years ago was just the beginning. You think the Liu family can hold on, but you're wrong. You don't understand what Liu Hong is relying on to maintain the current temporary peace.”
"Liu Hong reinstated the Prefecture Overseer. The Youzhou, Yizhou, Yuzhou, and other places are like small imperial courts that are accumulating strength and preparing their troops.”
"All the county governors and even the aristocrats and noble families are hoarding soldiers to protect themselves.”
"Besides, do you think the Yellow Turban Army is all dead?”
"The Qingzhou Army in Qingzhou, the Black Mountain Army in Bingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and other places all have Yellow Turban soldiers, but these people are hiding now, waiting for an opportunity.”
"All the local powers and officials are waiting for a variable.”
"What variable? What opportunity?”Cai Yan asked.
"Wait for Liu Hong to die, wait for Luoyang to fall into chaos."
Cai Yan was just about to speak when Zhao Feng waved his hand and continued.
"You said that when you became a general, what happened to the most powerful generals, Lu Zhi, Zhu Xi, Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo, and the others?”
"Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo almost died because they were at a disadvantage against the Yellow Turban Army.”
"Huangfu Song and Zhu Xi have won a great battle and their official positions are not low, but what is their current status?”
"Liu Hong only treats them as watchdogs. Can these so-called famous generals squeeze into the center of power? Could it change the state affairs at all?”
"Right now, the power is in the hands of the eunuchs and relatives. Do the so-called famous generals have any power?”
"No matter how powerful a general is, he is just a donkey of the Liu family who works hard without complaint. He can be killed at any time.”
"Hasn't Lu Zhi been removed from his post before? Didn't Dong Zhuo get fired? Has Huangfu Song not been removed from his post?"
"In Liu Hong's eyes, what status do these so-called famous generals have? They would only pull you out when needed and let you risk your life at the front line.”
"You said that I can be a general, so I'm going to be a general like this?”
"Being treated like a dog and ordered around?”
Zhao Feng's words had a huge impact on Cai Yan.
Cai Yan wanted to retort, but he didn't know how to do so.
? Because Zhao Feng was right.
" If you don't want to be a general, you can also be a civil official…" Cai Yan held it in for a long time before saying this.
"Like your father?" Zhao Feng laughed. As a famous great scholar, he fled to the ends of the world just because of a minor matter?”
"This, this…then what are your plans for the future?”
