Chapter 139: Bold Breakthrough
"It is precisely because of this that the people of Jiangdong are caught between Sun Quan and these aristocratic families, but they are the most miserable. They either become vassals of the aristocratic families or become the source of wealth for Sun Quan to raise soldiers."
Huang Qiang further led to the recent situation of the people in Jiangdong, but it also made Liu Chan feel uncomfortable.
This is very similar to Jingzhou, but when Liu Chan saw those official documents, he could only sigh helplessly.
However, Zhuge Liang was shocked.
He originally thought that the situation in Jiangdong would be much better than that in Jingzhou. After all, Jingzhou was exposed after Cao Cao came.
But he didn't know that such a problem actually began to gradually form decades ago.
"It seems that the suggestion made by the young master before is really not groundless."
"The current aristocratic families really cannot indulge them anymore!"
"It's a pity that I have to wait a few more years before I can attack them!"
"Is it because the young master asked this question just because he thought that all the aristocratic families in the world were like this?"
Zhuge Liang thought to himself that his expectations for Liu Chan were higher.
Liu Chan said at this time: "It seems that Sun Quan’s so-called three-life foundation is not that stable..."
"Um?"
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but frown and thought, "What does Young Master mean? Is he already thinking about dealing with Jiangdong?"
"Well... Actually, this is not something that should not be thought about. After all, if we want to restore the Han Dynasty, how could we allow Sun Quan to be in vain!"
"It seems that I have to think about this matter carefully."
At this time, Zhuge Liang finally put his position in Jiangdong on a big game of chess where he planned the world.
And it is a place to be erased.
Huang Qiang had never seen the magic of Liu Chan at the beginning, he had just heard Lu Yue say it.
He used to think that Lu Yue was just an exaggeration, but now he believes it.
The first time he saw a six-year-old child, he could say such a thing.
And it can also convince Zhuge Liang, who is admired by everyone in the army.
"Apart from this, does Captain Huang have anything else to say?" Liu Chan did not give an example to Huang Qiang this time.
Huang Qiang bent down respectfully and bowed, "Go back to the young master, the young man has finished speaking."
This time, he regarded Liu Chan as his real lord from the bottom of his heart, rather than just following Lu Yue's orders like before.
Liu Chan didn't think of anything to ask for at the moment. He smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Captain Huang has been working hard all the way, so let's go back and rest for now."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Huang Qiang bowed, took a few steps back, then turned around and walked out slowly.
After Huang Qiang walked away, Liu Chan turned around and said to Zhuge Liang: "Sir, where did we talk about it before?"
It was less than an hour since Huang Qiang came to Huang Qiang left. As it was still early today, Liu Chan wanted to continue talking to Zhuge Liang.
"Just just now, the young master asked if he could make a bag and throw it out with a catapult." Zhuge Liang suddenly remembered the conversation they had before they stopped.
"So sir, do you think it's feasible?" Liu Chan asked tentatively.
As a weapon that has been used on the battlefield for hundreds of years, its technology is quite mature, and it is a necessary weapon whether it is siege or defense.
But when he replaced the stone with **, Zhuge Liang could not imagine it.
Zhuge Liang pondered: "Actually, the young master's idea is very good, but there are several problems that have always bothered me. If those problems can be solved, perhaps the young master's proposal can be implemented."
When Liu Chan heard this, he was extremely surprised and couldn't help but blurt out: "Really?"
The reason why he made this suggestion was also a reminder of the cannons in later generations.
But he didn't know how the cannon with a range of hundreds of meters in later generations was made, so he had to temporarily replace it with the current catapult.
He was just a fantasy and did not have absolute certainty, but now Zhuge Liang said that only a few problems need to be solved can be implemented.
He suddenly felt one step closer to success.
Zhuge Liang was not sure, and he smiled and said, "Maybe it can do it."
Liu Chan already had a full understanding of Zhuge Liang's cautious personality. In his opinion, Zhuge Liang's words may be possible, but that is absolutely feasible.
"Why don't you know what questions are you talking about?" Liu Chan asked quickly.
Zhuge Liang no longer kept his mouth shut and said seriously: "The first question is how to ignite **?"
When Liu Chan heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "It's not easy. Just insert the ** bag into the ** and light it before throwing it out."
In Liu Chan's opinion, this is not a problem at all.
But Zhuge Liang was not satisfied with Liu Chan's answer. He said seriously: "Just as the young master said, then two more questions will be extended."
"What? Why do we extend two more questions?"
"Is this a problem with the method I mentioned?"
"I have experienced experiments with 'predecessors'!"
Liu Chan was dissatisfied. The way he was referring to was the way to open the "hand**" was just a little change!
He said seriously: "I don't know which two questions are being discussed by Mr.
Zhuge Liang said: "One is how long the lead should be, and two is how to ensure that the fire will not be extinguished after being thrown!"
"this……"
Suddenly, Liu Chan's face became a little ugly. He did not expect Zhuge Liang to ask such a specific question.
However, it is precisely such specific issues that are the most important and truly concern the possibility of implementation.
He was stunned for a moment before replying: "It depends on how long the lead is enough. It naturally takes multiple tests to determine it. As for how to ensure whether the fire will be extinguished after being thrown, I have an idea, but it also needs to be tested."
"Test? How to test? If you are not sure, such a test is really dangerous!"
Liu Chan did not expect that Zhuge Liang would raise the question again, and this time, he almost completely denied his idea.
Liu Chan knew the danger of **, but as the saying goes, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger'? If you don't take a risk, how can you gain an advantage over the enemy?
Thinking of this, he said seriously: "Although this experiment is dangerous, it is of great benefit to us. I think we should try our best. As for safety, we can only try our best to ensure it!"
"Oh! Well! Since the young master insists on thinking so, we have to talk about the second question now. How many pounds of ** is appropriate?" Zhuge Liang sighed and asked again.
This time, Liu Chan didn't understand. He asked in confusion: "Is there anything wrong with this?"
He just saw the trencher, but he had never used it. He didn't know that the trencher also had requirements for the weight of the stone. (To be continued)
