Sun Ce was very happy to solve the problem that had been troubled by a long time.

Although Huang Yueying has not calculated the ballistic curve yet, she has accumulated a lot of data to perfectly estimate the range. The method she used is very complicated. Although she tried her best to explain, Sun Ce still didn't understand it very well and could only let her do it herself.

He just pretended to say to Huang Yueying: The way is simple and easy. When can you come up with a formula that ordinary people can understand, and when will you be truly successful? For example, if you draw three, four, and five, this is so simple, it is easier than drawing a lot of pictures and explaining a lot of things, even illiterate craftsmen can understand it.

Huang Yueying was skeptical, but she solved the problem and was in a very good mood, so she didn't compete with Sun Ce.

Sun Ce rushed to Yuan Shu's camp at the first time and told Yuan Shu about the good news. Yuan Shu was extremely excited when he heard this and almost cut the case. "Okay, okay, I really want to take down Wancheng and repel Xu Rong and Niu Fu, let alone a lord, even if he is a marquis like a man." After saying that, he squeezed his eyes again. "Bo Fu, you still have vision. Although Huang Yueying is not a virtuous assistant, she is a rare housekeeper. With her to manage the baggage camp and build armaments for you, who dares to provoke you in the future?"

Faced with Yuan Shu, this inappropriate old man, Sun Ce was speechless and could only make a decision.

Yuan Shu was so excited that he asked someone to invite Yan Xiang, Zhang Xun and other close ministers to inform them of the good news and ordered that the baggage camp be martial law from now on. Without his or Sun Ce's order, no one was allowed to enter and exit at will, especially to build a stone throwing machine camp, otherwise it would be fined.

Yan Xiang immediately reminded Yuan Shu that although the problem of siege equipment was solved, the hostage problem was still the same, and the negotiations had to continue, even if it was to confuse Cao Cao. In addition, in addition to internal martial law to prevent leakage of secrets, Cao Cao should also prevent him from sending people to attack the camp.

Yuan Shu felt it was reasonable and agreed. Sun Ce also felt that Yan Xiang was thoughtful and a qualified adviser. Originally, the two had some estrangement, and some were disliked each other and had preconceived ideas. Now that the estrangement was eliminated, he saw that Yan Xiang was better.

Yan Xiang then suggested that Yuan Shu contact Sun Jian and ask him to enter Yingchuan in person. First, to block Yuan Shao's reinforcements from Chenliu, and second, to block Niu Fu's army from Luoyang, and to send people to Wuxian to pick up Cai Yong's family. Cai Yong is a famous scholar, and since he came, he could not let him go. As Sun Ce said, he sent him to Xiangyang, so that he could not go with peace of mind, so that he would not be asked to leave again and again by Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shu was overjoyed. No matter how hard he was, he knew how much it would be to control a person who wrote a history book. It was impossible to buy it no matter how much it cost, and it was more valuable than a tombstone.

While the iron was hot, Yuan Shu asked Yan Xiang to write and write, and asked Zhang Xun to summon the generals to issue military orders, ordering everyone to guard the camp and not to be exploited by Cao Cao. At the same time, he was training and prepared to attack the city in ten days. Although Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were the main force, the other troops could not be idle and share some tasks as much as possible.

The generals took turns to attack the manor these days. While the purses were bulging, they also had a personal understanding of the role of the stone thrower. When they learned that the baggage battalion was about to build a more powerful stone thrower, they might capture Wancheng in one go. They were all enthusiastic and patted their chests to fight, looking like a heroic look that no one else could do.

——

Yecheng.

Yuan Shao sat straight, his gorgeous clothes meticulously, and a simple knife was inserted into his belt and his virginity. He was frowned slightly, his white face was tense, his eyes were filled with displeasure, and the hall was silent, and no one dared to speak loudly.

After being silent for a long time, Don’t give a light cough and reminded: “Lord, although Xu You failed his lord’s trust and was not good at going to the army, General Cao still stood in Wancheng. His son asked for help from thousands of miles away. The lord should not be neglected.”

Yuan Shao let out a heavy breath, slightly shook his head. Shen Pei waved and signaled the guards outside the door to pass in. The guards hurried away. Later, Xu You and Cao Ang walked side by side. Xu You were relaxed, but Cao Ang was struggling, pale, unable to keep up with Xu You's pace, and fell far away.

Yuan Shao disliked it even more. He ignored Xu You who rushed forward to salute and leaned forward.

"Zi Xiu, what's wrong with you?"

When Xu You saw Yuan Shao leaning forward, he thought he was saying he was saying hello to him and was about to show his respect. When he heard Yuan Shao care about Cao Ang, he realized that he had misunderstood and was immediately embarrassed. He turned around and saw Cao Ang falling behind several steps. He quickly turned back and helped Cao Ang to Yuan Shao, and then said first: "Lord, Zi Xiu followed Cao Mengde to the battle formation in person, and fought with Sun Ce in close combat. He was injured by a hidden arrow and almost killed his life."

Yuan Shao was very surprised and looked at Cao Ang with admiration. He was older than Cao Cao, and his eldest son Yuan Tan and second son Yuan Xi were already adults. He followed him for a long time, but he had no experience of visiting the battle personally, nor did he have the experience of fighting with his opponents in death or even being injured like Cao Ang. Yuzi looked at his father. Although Cao Cao was average in ability, he was still very attentive and loyal, and he should not be so neglected to his son.

Yuan Shao left his seat and helped Cao Ang up, and said with concern: "Zi Xiu, how are you hurt? Do you want to ask a doctor to come and have a look?"

Cao Ang shook his head and said with a forced smile: "Thank you for your concern, but you can hold on, it's not in the way. Lord, you have an important military information report. My father is trapped in Wancheng and urgently needs reinforcements. Please send someone to help immediately. If it's too late, Wancheng will be unable to be protected."

"How many people do your father have? How many people do Yuan Gaolu have?"

"My father still has more than 4,000 soldiers and powerful troops in Nanyang County. There are more than 10,000 people in Yuan Gonglu. However, Sun Jian and his son are good at fighting and should not be underestimated."

Yuan Shao's smile faded. He let go of his hand and signaled the waiter to set up a seat for Cao Ang, straighten himself, rub the knife ring around his waist, and take care of Xu You. "Ziyuan, is that true?"

Xu You nodded awkwardly. "General, this is roughly the case, but I was contacting other families in Yingchuan at that time, and I was not sure about the details."

Shen Pei coughed lightly, which seemed careless, but actually hit the nail on the head. "Xu Ziyuan, since you are in Yingchuan, how many county soldiers in Yingchuan are preparing to rescue General Cao? Even if there are no soldiers, as long as you transport some food and grass to support General Cao, General Cao can still defend Wancheng. When this battle happened, why did you run to Yecheng? Are you worried that Cao Zixiu can't explain clearly and you have to explain it?"

Xu You was furious. "You guys are far away in Yecheng, but how can you know the situation in Nanyang? Sun Jian is good at fighting, Sun Ce is cunning, Yuan Gonglu has become more powerful with his father and son helping him, not to mention that the Zhou family in Lujiang is now dependent on him..."

"What did you say?" Yuan Shao interrupted Xu You and also stopped Shen Pei.

"Lord, Zhou Yi's son Zhou Yu is now obeying the orders under Yuan Gaolu. He helped Sun Jian and his son capture Xiangyang, drove away Liu Biao, the Cai family surrendered, and Kuai Yue... died in battle."

Yuan Shao changed color in a panic.
