Chapter 149: The Purpose of Shipbuilding
Liu Chan was talking about rumors, but it didn't really connect Liu Bei and Zhang Lu.
Once Liu Zhang believed this, he would definitely do something unjust first.
As long as Liu Zhang makes a mistake first, then Liu Bei can gain a moral foothold and become famous.
In this case, Yizhou will be easily accessible.
"Adou, who taught you this?" Guan Yu instantly felt the feasibility of Liu Chan's plan.
And in his opinion, even if Liu Chan really received the divine teaching and improved his knowledge, he was still a six-year-old child after all, and his character should be pure and good.
How could a pure-hearted, kind and innocent child come up with such a vicious plan to divorce!
This must have been secretly instructed by someone.
So when Guan Yu was talking, he glanced at Xun Chen inadvertently.
He suspected that this person was Xun Chen, because Xun Chen's previous reason for letting him build ships was that reinforcements would be sent to Shu.
Since Xun Chen could think of sending reinforcements into Shu, it was not difficult for Xun Chen to think of this strategy to promote conflicts in Shu.
However, he was disappointed. Xun Chen and Zhuge Liang had exactly the same expression at this time, both looking at Liu Chan in surprise.
It seemed that he couldn't believe that this was Liu Chan's own plan.
Liu Chan smiled and said: "Second Uncle Guan, don't always look down on others. I am very smart. There is no problem in coming up with such a strategy."
"This... this... really was your idea?"
Guan Yu was still a little unbelievable.
Liu Chan smiled and said: "Of course! I will come up with more good strategies in the future!"
He looked proud and enjoyed the way Zhuge Liang and Xun Chen looked at him.
Seeing this, Guan Yu smiled awkwardly, then suddenly turned to Zhuge Liang and Xun Chen and said, "What do the military advisors and Youruo think about Adou's desire to enter Shu?"
When he spoke, he paid more attention to Xun Chen's expression.
I saw Xun Chen blinking his eyes slightly, frowning slightly, and said: "Although the young master is extremely talented, the road in Shu is dangerous. How can the young master be allowed to set foot in dangerous places?"
Zhuge Liang also shook his feather fan lightly and said: "Brother Youruo said that it is good that the young master has this intention, but he must not take such a big risk."
The expressions of the two of them were completely normal, and Guan Yu couldn't help but feel that he was overthinking it.
Liu Chan never thought that they would unanimously refuse, so he quickly said: "No, I have to go this time!"
What he was thinking about was not to go to Shu to show off his strategic skills, but to save Pang Tong, who died accidentally during the attack on Shu.
After seeing Zhuge Liang's power, Liu Chan was even more concerned about Pang Tong, who was as famous as Zhuge Liang, and was always thinking about how to save him!
He even thought about spending a huge sum of money to save Pang Tong if the timing was wrong and he didn't persuade him before he caught the enemy.
But now that the three people in front of him refused to let him go to Shuzhong, wouldn't his plan to save Pang Tong fail?
That's why he was so persistent.
Guan Yu wondered: "Adou, aren't you afraid?"
Liu Chan said seriously: "A man is not afraid of death!"
"Um?"
Guan Yu frowned and said quickly: "If you say that, I won't let you go!"
"Wtf? What do you mean? Shouldn't this be a compliment to me for being brave and knowledgeable?"
Liu Chan felt confused and said anxiously: "Second Uncle Guan, I won't care about my life! Just let me go!"
"No! There is no room for negotiation on this matter! If you want to go to Shuzhong, you can't wait until Yizhou is pacified and my eldest brother sends someone to pick you up!"
Guan Yu looked serious and did not allow Liu Chan to argue.
When Liu Chan heard this, he cursed in his heart: "You Guan Niu, do you know what losses will be caused if I don't go?"
"Humph! I won't rely on you! If you say you won't let me leave, won't I leave on my own?"
"I don't believe that my great Liu Adou can't reach Shuzhong!"
"Sigh... It's a pity that I have a six-year-old body. Without their consent, it seems that I really can't even leave the Public Security City..."
However, despite being angry, Liu Chan quickly recognized the reality.
After all, he is too young, and it seems that he cannot do it alone, whether it is riding a horse or building a boat.
And even if he went out alone, it would be difficult to reach Liu Bei safely.
Suddenly, Guan Yu smiled and said to Liu Chan: "Adou, even if you scold me in your heart, it's useless!"
"You! You... hum..." Liu Chan waved his hands speechlessly and walked forward.
"Hahaha……"
Guan Yu was left alone, Zhuge Liang and Xun Chen looked at his back and couldn't help laughing.
However, after a while, the laughter disappeared.
Guan Yu suddenly asked: "Youruo, you said before that you were building ships to reinforce troops entering Shu, but have you thought of this?"
When Xun Chen heard this, he couldn't help being stunned and stared at Guan Yu again and again.
Suddenly, he laughed and said: "Haha... I just said why Brother Yun looked at me like that just now, it turned out to be for this!"
He paused slightly, put away his smile, and said seriously: "At that time, I was just based on the celestial signs that Shuzhong was about to change hands. I thought that there might be a mutiny in Shuzhong, so I wanted to make a plan first. Now it seems that the speed of our shipbuilding is
, you have to speed up!"
"Celestial phenomenon?"
When Guan Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be confused.
Although he knew that countless capable people throughout history had learned about human changes through celestial phenomena, he only thought that human changes were caused by people taking advantage of changes in celestial phenomena.
Changes in people are caused by people, and it is just a far-fetched comparison with God's will!
But now, Xun Chen said that it was based on celestial phenomena, and he couldn't believe it for a while.
"What Brother Youruo said is true. Recently, I have been watching the sky at night. There are changes in the southwest. I was thinking about whether to send someone to inform the lord, but I never thought that Brother Youruo has already started a plan."
At this time, Zhuge Liang also echoed.
Zhuge Liang was proficient in astronomy and geography, and he showed great prowess in the past few years, which made Guan Yu admire him very much.
Now Zhuge Liang also agrees with Xun Chen's words. It seems that this matter is almost inseparable from the celestial phenomena.
Guan Yu asked: "Then how many ships should we build?"
Xun Chen pondered for a moment and said seriously: "We need at least a hundred ships for this building first. The rest of the Red Horse Clippers should be boarded first. Meng Chong and other ships can wait a little longer."
"A hundred tower ships? Do you need that many?"
Guan Yu couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. One hundred large ships could carry 80,000 sailors, but now they only had less than 8,000 sailors.
Regardless of whether it is the Chima Clipper or the First Landing or Mengchong, each ship can accommodate dozens or even hundreds of sailors.
Does it really make sense to build so many high-rise ships?
Zhuge Liang reminded: "General Guan should not only think about using ships for water warfare, but also think about using ships to transport troops, use ships to transport food, and use ships to accommodate the people."
