Upon hearing Ma Jun's words, Bai Feng could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
Good fellow!
Boss Cao was becoming more and more considerate!
Previously, when he was worried about how to recruit soldiers, Boss Cao sent Cao Chun over to inform him that he needed soldiers.
Now that he needed grenades, Boss Cao sent Ma Jun to deliver them?
If not for the fact that he knew it was impossible, Bai Feng would have suspected that Cao Cao had installed a listening device on him.
However, this was exactly what Bai Feng wanted.
There was no reason not to take these one hundred grenades.
However, ten of them had to be taken out.
During this period of time, he had finished his work and it was time to deal with the matter that he had promised Zuo Ci.
Bai Feng first brought Ma Jun to the crossbow platform and gave Ma Jun the blueprint.
In fact, Ma Jun did not need to build the crossbow platform. He only needed to supervise the work.
What Ma Jun really wanted to build was the crossbow platform.
In the current Hanzhong, there was not a single crossbow platform.
After all, most of the crossbow platforms were used to attack cities and not to defend cities.
Crossbow platforms were not commonly seen.
In fact, the main problem was the materials.
Ordinary bricks would not be sturdy enough and those made of bamboo would not be able to withstand corrosion.
Although there was not much rainy season in Hanzhong, if it rained frequently and the weather was not as humid as in the south, it would not be feasible to make a crossbow platform made of bamboo.
However, now that this problem had been solved, the crossbow platform would be put to good use.
Just as Bai Feng was about to pack up and call Zuo Shishi over with the book of illusion, Sun Shangxiang hurried over.
"Sir, there is an urgent report from Shanyue."
Bai Feng could not help but be slightly stunned.
Shanyue?
Tai Shici and Zhao Yun were in trouble?
Thinking of this, Bai Feng immediately took the urgent report and read it.
The contents of the report were very simple. Shanyue was in a state of emergency!
Previously, in order to defend against Cao Cao's southern expedition, Sun Quan had sent all his soldiers to Jingzhou to defend against Cao Cao.
However, in these two days, Boss Cao had won consecutive battles and conquered the remaining three counties in Jingzhou.
Although Guan and Zhang, as well as Wei Yan and the other fierce generals were difficult to deal with, they could not stop the aggressive attacks of the Cao Army.
However, Lu Xun's plan to attack with fire had failed.
In fact, the fire had already been set on fire had been set on purpose.
Before this, Cao had ordered the surrounding cities to send a lot of supplies.
With these supplies, there was no shortage of supplies.
As for the supplies in the camp, most of the supplies were mostly old supplies.
It was burning burning to burn burn burn was burn.
Because of this, Liu Bei's Army thought that an opportunity had arrived and quickly dispatched troops to attack.
Who would have thought that they would fall into Cao Cao's trap?
Although the fire had started, Cao Cao gave up on the tents and led his soldiers to set up an ambush.
Guan and Zhang were heavily injured. Lu Meng was also shot in the arm by Xiahou Yuan.
This time, Liu Bei Army was defeated and retreated to Jiao Province.
The entire nine counties of Jingxiang had returned to Cao Cao's hands.
This was something that Bai Feng did not expect.
Boss Cao was really fierce with these Hundred Wrought Steel Armors.
It was totally different from when he attacked Red Cliff.
Furthermore, in this half a year, Boss Cao had trained a lot of navy.
It was all for the sake of attacking Dong Yue Wu one day.
However, this was a good thing, but Shanyue was implicated.
After Liu Bei Army retreated to Jiao Province, Cao Cao's army no longer went south. Instead, they attacked Jiangdong.
Jiangdong had lost Jingzhou, and the only thing that was between them and the Cao Army was the Yangtze River.
After all, the Yangtze River was a natural barrier. It would be difficult for Cao Cao to cross it. However, it was only a matter of time.
Liu Bei wanted to send reinforcements to Jiangdong, but most of the roads were blocked by the Cao Army. It was impossible to reach Jiangdong.
The only way was to go through Shanyue's territory.
Hence, Liu Bei did not dare to delay and sent all his troops to attack Shanyue.
Not only that, Sun Quan also gathered fifty to sixty thousand troops to harass Shanyue at the foot of the mountain.
Attacking from two sides, it was indeed difficult for Shanyue to defend.
However, through the recruitment of soldiers, horses, and provisions these days, it was not as if they did not have the strength to fight.
However, Liu Bei Army's attacks were too ferocious. Even if Tai Shici used grenades, it was useless.
After all, Liu Bei had already burned all his boats. He did not care about the life and death of Jiao Province. He only wanted to take down Shanyue.
After all, Jiao Province was not difficult to attack. It was also not a place that military strategists had to fight for.
Otherwise, Sun Quan would not have allowed Shi Xie to be the Provincial Governor of Jiao Province for so many years without sending troops to attack.
Bai Feng could not help but furrow his brows.
Who would have thought that in just a few days, the Cao Army would be able to take down Jingzhou with such an overwhelming advantage.
However, this brought a lot of trouble to Shanyue.
During this period of time, the Shanyue soldiers had undergone constant training. Their physical fitness and martial arts were much better than before.
Moreover, with the guidance of Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun, two first-rate generals, they were no longer the same as they were in the past.
However, they still did not have enough troops to defend Shanyue.
There were only two ways to save Shanyue.
One was to hope that Cao Cao's army could cross the river in time and reduce the pressure on Shanyue.
The other was that if Liu Bei Army could not take down Jiao Province, Boss Cao would send troops to attack Jiao Province.
Although Liu Bei did not feel bad for Jiao Province, if Jiao Province was gone, he would have no way out.
If they could not attack and retreat, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and the others would definitely be able to guess.
If Jiao Province was attacked, they would definitely lead their troops back to defend it.
Otherwise, Liu Bei Army would definitely not retreat.
However, with Boss Cao's personality, he would probably not attack Jiao Province.
After all, Cao Cao did not know that the Shanyue was already filled with Bai Feng's troops.
If Cao Cao attacked, the Shanyue would not be able to defend it with their current strength.
Fortunately, Bai Feng had come to find Cao Cao after returning from Shanyue and told him that the leader of the Shanyue was considering surrendering.
Cao Cao knew that there was no point in taking over Shanyue.
Since the Shanyue would not come and rob the people, Cao Cao was relieved.
He did not need to send troops to attack Shanyue. He could also ask the Shanyue to block most of the foreigners. Why not?
Most importantly, if he did that, Liu Bei would not be able to recognize Tai Shici.
Zhao Yun did not want to face Liu Bei Army and went to defend against Jiangdong's army.
Perhaps, he could stabilize the situation before Cao Cao's army reached Jiangdong.
