"I mean... transform the fireworks into explosives that explode every time! Then use a hot air balloon to drop them in the air, so that no shield or anything can stop them!"
"To a certain extent, it is even more powerful than a cannon!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
They naturally knew how powerful the fireworks were. A bucket of fireworks blew up Cao Chun's house into ruins, and even the couple almost hiccupped their farts.
If you use the air force to drop this kind of explosives, I'm afraid it's really a hundred times stronger than bows and arrows!
Xun Yu looked over expectantly: "Yuan Yi, what kind of explosive pack is this... Do you have it? If you have it, let us see it!"
Guo Jia was also full of excitement: "Dynamite pack? Count me in in future wars, and I'll be in the air force! Watch me, Guo Jijiu, sacrifice the enemy to heaven!"
Even Cheng Yu, who has always been steady, stood up eagerly, rubbing his hands back and forth to show his inner urgency.
"Yuanyi, look, we are brothers, right? You brother and I are the commander of the air force. If you have a good treasure, why don't you hurry up and take it out? When I make a contribution, I promise to share half of it with you!"
Under everyone's strong request, Xia Houzhe smiled inscrutablely.
With a backhand, he took out three washbasin-sized, black lacquered metal balls.
Three balls of three colors, one red, one black and one green.
On each ball, there is a black lead, up to one meter long.
"My dear brother, is this the dynamite bag you mentioned?" Cao Cao looked at the three balls curiously.
Xia Houzhe nodded: "To be precise...it should be called a bomb!"
Chapter 988 Warmth before the expedition
Bombs first appeared in the late Tang Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty.
The earliest batch of gunpowder weapons is recorded in the "Wu Jing Zong Yao" written by the official Xiu Yuding of the Northern Song Dynasty.
There is a bomb in it!
Xia Houzhe stretched out his hand and pointed at the bomb, and introduced to several people:
"The red one is called a fireball. It's not very powerful, but it will ignite bursts of fire after it explodes. It's best used to steal and burn the enemy's food and grass."
"The black one is called a caltrop fireball, and it contains barbed caltrops. After the explosion, the caltrops fly away, killing and injuring many people."
"The green ones are called poison smoke balls, which are filled with poisonous substances such as arsenic and croton. After the explosion, they will disperse into smoke, poisoning the enemy and achieving a large-scale attack!"
After introducing the uses of the three bombs to everyone, Xia Houzhe looked at Cao Cao playfully.
"With these three kinds of bombs, don't you think they are much better than your bow and arrow?"
Hearing his words, everyone suddenly widened their eyes, gasped and exclaimed.
"It's just much better, it's like a sky and an underground! No, bows and arrows are originally used underground."
"My dear brother, when did you get out these artifacts? Why... I didn't hear anything about it?"
Xia Houzhe looked at Cao Cao bitterly.
"It's not you, the gunpowder was wet in the last battle, it was so laborious!"
"So I made some light stuff, by the way... to be sent to the Air Force for use."
Cao Cao suddenly realized, and hugged the other party happily.
"It has to be you! You are the only one who has me in your heart and is all for my own good. I'm so touched!"
Xia Houzhe laughed and cursed in disgust, and then asked everyone to pick up the bomb.
In order to verify the effect, Xia Houzhe specially asked Man Chong to fly a hot air balloon out.
Several people went to the sky together to test the three kinds of bombs one by one.
As a result... it was found that all three kinds of bombs are extremely effective, and it is impossible to solve them with hot air balloons.
Even Man Chong's temporary shed was bombed to pieces.
Although...the occasional squib or two, but it doesn't hurt much.
The most unexpected thing is that among them, the poisonous smoke ball with the smallest explosion has the greatest lethality!
A poisonous smoke ball went down, and the area of more than ten meters was completely covered by arsenic poisonous gas.
This is just the effect of a bomb. If hundreds of hot air balloons drop this thing together, will the enemies die one by one?
However, Cao Cao only intends to use this thing as a backup, and will not use it on a large scale unless it is absolutely necessary, mainly because it will hurt Tianhe.
He is also afraid that the poisonous gas will be too heavy and pollute the people and land of that side. What is the point of obtaining the territory like this?
"I've given you the method of making it, and you can go back and do it secretly."
"There is still half a month before the autumn harvest. We will strive to make the necessary amount in this half month. Once the food is collected, we will send troops to Xishu! I have been waiting for the day of reunification for many years."
Xia Houzhe drew a blueprint for Cao Cao, and wrote down all the ratios clearly.
Looking at this blueprint, Cao Cao understood what it meant. If it was obtained by the enemy, the threat would be no less than the spread of artillery.
"My brother, thank you!"
Xia Houzhe waved his hands disapprovingly, looked at the sky and subconsciously said politely.
"Thank you, family! By the way, it's getting late, and I'm going home. Would you like to come to my house for dinner?"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they replied decisively: "Since you have kindly invited me, it would be great!"
Xia Houzhe: ∑(O_O;)
"I'm on a horse... I shouldn't be polite to you!"
Everyone looked at each other and laughed loudly.
The gap between the rich and the poor in Caoying is too large, and the best way for them to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor is to eat up this big dog.
The atmosphere among the people is warm and harmonious, after all, they are brothers who have been born and died for many years.
A group of people talked and laughed, and went to Xia Houzhe's mansion hand in hand.
After arriving at Xiahouzhe's house, he found many people gathered inside, not only Xiahouzhe's wife, but also Cao Cao's wife.
And... Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Lu Bu and the other high-ranking wives are all here, even Liu Xie Fushou is here.
A group of women were washing all kinds of vegetables in their hands, some were chopping vegetables, and some were washing rice and making a fire.
Outsiders would never have imagined that such a manor house gathered the most famous ladies of the entire Han Dynasty.
Seeing these familiar women, everyone in Cao Ying was obviously stunned.
I couldn't help thinking of an extremely bad result, my heart suddenly skipped a beat, and I glanced at Xia Houzhe in disbelief.
"Ladies, why are you all at Yuan Yi's house? Could it be that you..."
Xia Houzhe shrugged, equally confused.
The women who were called out smiled at their men.
"We heard from the mistress and His Majesty that you will be marching west in a short time. The terrain in Xishu is dangerous. Once you go there, you will definitely not return for a long time."
"For so many years, you have supported the whole family outside, and we women and Taoists can't help anything."
"So at the suggestion of the mistress, today we, a group of useless women, want to hold a meaningful dinner together, and I have the right to treat you as a reward!"
The girls explained with a smile, Ding also nodded to everyone in Cao Ying, looking very grand.
As the official wife of King Wei, Ding seems to have become the eldest sister among the famous ladies.
Hearing this, the generals burst into tears.
His wife, Yan Xunyu, pinched his throat and screamed: "Oh my god! The old man can actually eat the food made by the madam? You should let the young one do it for your old ten fingers not touching the spring water!"
Xun Yu smiled and walked up, wanting to help the Tang family, but was kicked out by the girls.
"Go, go! This time we women are doing things, we can't let you intervene, just lie down, we will do it ourselves!"
"It will definitely make you have a perfect feast!"
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with warmth.
The world is uncertain, they all live with their heads in their hands, no one knows which will come first, the accident or tomorrow.
So the current picture is very precious!
A group of people quietly enjoying this warm time.
Everyone laughed loudly: "If you don't intervene, then it's okay to intervene in the head office?"
The noble ladies gave them a blank look, threw a few leaves, and drove them all into the Shenxu Pavilion.
Cao Cao glanced at the sky with longing in his eyes: "Brothers! The big men... are about to be unified! After taking Xishu and stabilizing Liangzhou, we won't have to run around here and there in the future."
Guo Jia nodded: "At that time, we can ignore official business, go whoring together, and carry guns together. It's very good...Life is only a few dozen years, and the right answer is to enjoy yourself in time. Yuanyi, don't you think so!"
Xia Houzhe nodded expressionlessly, looking at the group of brothers who had been with him for many years, he felt a little bit reluctant.
The day of unification is the day of ascension. When it really comes, are you sure you can let go of so many lecherous brothers?
Xia Houzhe's persistence and pursuit in his heart actually wavered slightly at this moment.
"Perhaps...but the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. The same is true for people, alas..."
This sentimental look surprised everyone.
This kid has always been heartless, why is he in such a posture today?
Lu Bu reached out and touched Xia Houzhe's forehead: "You don't have a fever, how do you say that? With my two father-in-laws, Lao Cao and I, no one can touch you!"
Xia Houzhe nodded with a smile. Just when the atmosphere was a little heavy, the quarrel of a group of children outside the pavilion attracted everyone's attention.
When everyone heard the sound, they turned out to be the descendants of Xia Houling, daughter of Xia Houzhe, Zhao Tong, son of Zhao Yun, Cao Yan, son of Cao Chun, Ji Ling and others.
A group of children aged 1-5, with blushing faces and thick necks, are arguing about whose father is better.
Everyone looked at each other and watched this scene with great interest.
Xun Yu's three-year-old son, Xun Yun, said: "My father is a minister, he is amazing! He is also said to be the genius of Wang Zuo!"
Hearing his son's boast, Xun Yu raised his eyebrows in the distance, straightened his back resolutely, and smiled low-key.
"Children are ignorant. My children are not good at this. To be honest, everyone forgive me! Actually, I am not so good, but I am just a mere Wang Zuozhi and Shang Shuling."
"I don't want to be so miserable, it's just... my strength doesn't allow it, ah ha ha ha!"
Seeing Xun Yu, who was humble on the surface but triumphant in reality, everyone rolled their eyes and raised their middle fingers together.
Just at this time Zhao Tong stood up and said, "My father is amazing. My mother said he is a white-horse lewd spear. He is very powerful in combat and has already become famous all over the world."
The corner of Zhao Yun's mouth curled up, and he defied the crowd with his hands behind his back, even if he didn't say a word, he was full of coercion.
Everyone curled their lips and looked at their son eagerly, hoping to know what kind of image they were in the hearts of their sons and daughters.
Chapter 989 Our father dares to eat shit, does yours dare?
The one and a half-year-old Xia Houling was a little dissatisfied, muttering cutely with her hands on her hips, she retorted in a childish voice:
"What is your father? My father is even more powerful. He is the prime minister! Many people say he is the chicken in the sky!"
"And my father is very rich, your father combined is not as rich as my father!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately burst out laughing, ignoring the last rich words.
They all praised Xia Houzhe.
"Niuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuui
Xia Houzhe's old face was dark, and his smile froze in an instant: "It is said that my daughter is a caring little padded jacket, but I am wearing an anti-armor inside?"
Cao Cao couldn't help laughing: "Tong Yan Wuji, father is the hero in the hearts of children, even if you become a chicken in the sky, you are still a coquettish existence."
Three-year-old Cao Zhi stared, not to be outdone: "My father is the king of Wei! Wherever he goes, no one will be left behind!"
"Also, my father is the best at understanding young women's hearts, how can your father compare?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Cao Ying immediately gave a look, as if they were saying...My lord, even children know about your addiction, why don't you say so?
Sensing the strange eyes of everyone, Cao Cao's mouth twitched, wishing to stuff Cao Zhi back into his mother's stomach.
After showing off their father, the children turned to look at Cao Yan and Ji Xiang.
