Liu Yu answered under the gaze of all the commanders.
"The so-called long-handed weapon is to extend the attack distance. Among the existing weapons, it is the bow and crossbow."
"I believe that those who are good at horse fighting know very well that an inch longer is an inch stronger."
"How important it is to get the upper hand, it is very important in battle."
All the generals nodded.
Most of them have fought in the battlefield, and they know the advantages of long weapons.
"So, we have to learn archery in the future?" Zhang Fei smacked his lips, "For a rough guy like me, shooting a small spear has reached the limit."
"Occasionally I can't hit it right."
"Not to mention asking me to shoot an arrow."
"I'm afraid it will go astray."
Xu Chu and Dian Wei rarely sang the opposite tune, and the two nodded in agreement.
Archery is indeed a bit difficult for them.
The main reason is that it requires a lot of practice, and they can't bear it at all.
"Don't worry." Liu Yu smiled and said, "The Shenbi crossbow made this time is much easier to shoot than the previous bows and arrows."
"Very easy to control."
His words made all the commanders very interested in the Shenbi crossbow.
"The range of more than 300 steps, the power to penetrate heavy armor."
As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, the hall suddenly became quiet.
After a short silence, the commanders started to discuss.
Especially Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci and Xiahou Yuan.
The three commanders are very good at archery.
"Three... more than 300 steps of range? Did I hear it right?" Huang Zhong scratched his ears and asked Zhao Yun beside him.
"You heard it right, Lord Qu Mu did say more than 300 steps."
"Hiss!" Xiahou Yuan took a breath: "Finally I know why Tang Hai is so powerful."
"Bows and crossbows with such a range can be made."
"In the future, I will definitely be the best archer in Tang Hai!"
Taishi Ci shook his head: "I think you have to step back a little."
"Indeed." Huang Zhong nodded.
The three people's eyes met, and no one gave in for a while.
Xiahou Yuan thought to himself, if he can't beat you two in martial arts, how can he beat you in archery?
You know, he has a great talent for archery since he was a child.
He has less practice than Xiahou Dun, but he is more accurate than Xiahou Dun.
From childhood to adulthood, he has never met anyone who is more accurate than him.
Taishi Ci and Huang Zhong did not give in at all, and their eyes were full of sharpness.
They all want the title of Tang Hai's best archer.
They don't want to give it to others.
"Don't worry." Liu Yu comforted everyone, "Wait until the crossbow is manufactured, and after a period of training, we will have an archery competition."
"The final winner will be decided at that time, and he will be the general commander of Tanghai Archery in the future."
"And he will be awarded the title of Tanghai's No. 1 Archer."
"Use the best steel from the steel mill to make the Archer Medal and hang it on your chest to show your status."
As soon as this news was released, all the commanders were extremely excited.
Although many people are not good at archery, they can learn it.
They want to work hard and try a few times to rush for the medal.
If they can hang it on their chests, they will be able to walk with their heads held high and look up at the sky in the city of Tanghai, which is full of talents.
They are qualified!
"Act according to the government order." Liu Yu ordered.
"No one should be lazy."
"In addition, send out cavalry to search in the direction of Yuyang and Liaodong counties, and collect intelligence along the way."
"Report immediately if there is any unusual movement in the two counties."
"Yes!" The commanders in the hall responded loudly, and turned around and left with Liu Yu's announcement of the meeting.
The entire Tanghai City entered into intensive work.
...
Xuzhou, Xiapi City.
Liu Bei brought Lu Zhi's letter to meet Tao Qian.
Liu Bei, whose temperament has changed greatly, is unusually calm.
Tao Qian admired him very much as soon as they met.
It is rare to see such a calm and measured young man with unique insights in all aspects.
Just when he needed manpower, he kept Liu Bei as a staff member.
He could give advice in all aspects.
Especially what Liu Bei said about the hygiene of ordinary people, which has a preventive and therapeutic effect on various epidemics.
There are also some experiences in training soldiers, which made Tao Qian feel that what he said was good.
He then instructed Liu Bei on some political matters, wanting to see if he could actually do things as well as he said.
Liu Bei was very excited.
It was such a wonderful feeling to finally be favored by others.
Sure enough, knowledge and the recommendation of big men were the best stepping stones.
And he finally reached a new level after improving himself.
The two brothers who followed him were also very excited.
Rising tides lift all boats.
As Liu Bei's status improved, they would naturally improve as well.
Isn't life all about fame and fortune?
Liu BeiHe devoted himself to the government affairs of Xiapi with great enthusiasm.
His excellent performance won unanimous praise from the officials of Xiapi.
In particular, he treated the people very well, which made the people of Xiapi applaud.
With all kinds of praise, Liu Bei's reputation spread quickly.
Tao Qian was very happy after hearing it.
In addition, Liu Bei accidentally revealed that he was actually the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, but he was ashamed to mention it because his family had fallen into poverty.
This made Tao Qian look up to him even more.
He has a background but does not mention it, and is independent and hidden.
This person will become a great man in the future.
Tao Qian paid more and more attention to Liu Bei.
As his status improved, the wealthy families of Xuzhou also began to contact Liu Bei.
They admired his conversation and some novel insights.
When Liu Bei heard that the wealthy family of Xuzhou, the Mi family, took the initiative to meet him, and such a proactive attitude touched the Mi family.
After all, in this world, being an official and being a merchant are worlds apart.
No matter how much wealth the Mi family has, it cannot be compared with the officials in Xuzhou.
When Liu Bei learned that there was a Mi family in the Mi family, and it was rumored that she was the most beautiful woman in the country, he had an idea.
However, he was told by Mi Fang that he had to wait for his brother Mi Zhu to return before deciding whether to marry his younger sister.
After asking, Liu Bei learned that Mi Zhu went north to look for business opportunities, and suddenly a very bad feeling emerged in his heart.
It seemed that something was about to leave him again.
This made him feel like a knife cutting his heart.
Although his thoughts were not fulfilled for the time being, he got a new opportunity.
Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son of the Xuzhou family, valued Liu Bei very much.
They actually took the initiative to propose to marry Chen Deng's sister to Liu Bei.
For him, who had been wandering for a long time, he also yearned for a stable home.
Especially the other party was a woman from a wealthy family.
It was much better to have a relationship with the Chen family than with the Mi family.
Liu Bei agreed without thinking.
Everything went very smoothly.
Liu Bei was very eloquent and Chen was also very fond of him.
It was natural that they held a wedding under the witness of Tao Qian.
After Liu Bei married the Chen family, his status in Xuzhou was further improved.
In addition, he worked very hard and gradually consolidated his status to a height that he had never reached before.
Liu Bei did not forget to write a letter to briefly convey everything that happened in Xuzhou to his teacher Lu Zhi who was far away in Luoyang.
Let the other party know that he, as a student, did not lose face.
He did a good job in Xuzhou.
Although Liu Bei was a little hard, he enjoyed it.
