It is said that Xun Yu looks gentle and easy to contact. In fact, Xun Yu's arrogance is almost engraved in his bones, but this is only natural. As the top wise man in the world, his confidence is the capital of his arrogance.
Let's put it this way, although Nanyang is known as the richest place in the world, in fact, it cannot support so many soldiers under Cao Cao, but Xun Yu did it. The reason is very simple.
It won't take ten years to recover. This is the essence of Cao Cao's rise.
However, in terms of the situation at the time, Xun Yu's approach was right. He squeezed Nanyang dry, reoccupied Yanzhou by force, and opened up farmland. There was no problem. From the beginning, Xun Yu was not targeting Nanyang. He was just using Nanyang as a stepping stone.
Entered Yongzhou.
It is said that the Zhengguo Canal was abandoned during this period, along with the 40,000 hectares of fertile farmland and the water conservancy facilities that produced 50 million shi of grain per year and allowed the Qin State to no longer have military food problems. The reason seems to be the war.
In short, at first Xun Yu planned to seize the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to lay a solid foundation for Cao Cao, but was robbed by Chen Xi, so Xun Yu immediately planned to use the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to build a foundation for Cao Cao.
It doesn't take much strength to defeat the Yellow Turbans, it only takes a while. Xun Yu doesn't have much calculation, so he takes his time, but the difficulty level of defeating Sili is directly off the charts. First of all, he must be strong enough. Forced by helplessness, Xun Yu
After plotting against Yuan Shu, Xun Yu, who was eager for success, drained Nanyang dry and developed a capable infantry in a short period of time.
But it's a pity that every wise man must make mistakes. He didn't expect that he would lose the battle in Xuzhou to such an extent when he killed Xun Yu. His plan was ruined by Liu Bei again. In anger, Xun Yu took action personally. After all, this time
It can be said that there is really no way to retreat. Cao Cao really has no way to retreat this time.
[Bless me from my ancestors, please don’t have another accident this time.] Xun Yu silently thought about the first time he prayed to ghosts and gods while doing something.
While Xun Yu was asking tangled questions about ghosts and gods, Chen Xi had already arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, while Mi Fang and Cabbage had already left Gan Ning for Yizhou.
"This speed is really fast, but now that we are going upstream, we cannot guarantee Xingba's speed." Chen Xi said as he looked at the endless river.
"Hahaha, don't worry, military advisor. My navy son will definitely arrive within the time mentioned before by rowing vigorously. But fortunately, it's Lujiang River, and Chaohu is the Lujia Shipyard. If it were anywhere else, our big ship wouldn't be there.
Good progress." Gan Ning was not worried at all when he heard Chen Xi's words.
"By the way, Xingba, remember to change the oars like this when the time comes." Chen Xi asked Zhuge Liang to get a pen and paper to draw the ship. A ship that is pedaled by feet will always run faster than a ship that is rowed by hand.
"I'll let the Lu family study this later, but it seems that the structure is quite simple so it shouldn't be difficult." Gan Ning stared at the two big wheels painted on Chen Xi's boat. He was obviously a little confused, but he still agreed.
.
"Well, my drawing is not standard. Do you still remember the waterwheel we have there? This is the principle, but the shape still needs to be changed in some designs. Let them try their best to make it better, otherwise it will be damaged..." At this point
Only then did Chen Xi remember that it seemed that it was not easy to damage this world. Warm-raised pig iron beads could be used as bearings as long as they were round enough!
Chen Xi's interest arose when he thought about it. It seems that this ship actually has great potential. As long as it is warmed up and renovated, it will be very good.
[It seems that as long as it is not smelted, the properties of the material after being warmed will not be destroyed, and it will not be affected if the ship is disassembled and reinstalled. It seems that ships have much more future than weapons and equipment.] Chen Xi
After thinking of steel balls, I immediately thought of the entire ship, and then I discovered a piece of information that was normally ignored, but was nevertheless very important.
[In this case, wouldn’t Sun Ce’s ships be...] Chen Xi’s face turned dark instantly, [No wonder the intelligence said that some of the ships under Huang Zu’s command in Jingzhou have been used for decades and still have not been decommissioned. To some extent,
It seems that as long as the ship is not damaged as a whole, the attributes of the entire ship will continue to improve as long as it is continuously used, and the more it is used, the more convenient it will be.】
"Xing Ba, let me ask you a question. How long does it take for a ship to be warmed to the extreme?" Chen Xi asked twitchingly. This is really understandable. No one in Taishan really understands the navy. If it hadn't been unexpectedly thought of, he would probably
Chen Xi never noticed that houses, city walls, and these buildings could actually be warm and nourishing. It was completely dark under the lamp.
"Who can keep this thing warm?" Gan Ning's eyelids twitched wildly, "On this ship, with so many of us on board, keeping it warm every day, we probably won't be able to succeed in ten or eight years, and the ship will be long gone in ten or eight years.
It’s sinking!”
"I estimate that the ships we encountered this time have been warmed up, even to the extreme. You should have some information. All the ships owned by Huang Zu in Jingzhou are old ships that have been used for more than fifteen years." Chen Xi
He said with twitching eyes.
Gan Ning instantly felt like his head was getting big. Things that have been warmed and things that have not been warmed are completely different concepts. If nothing else, the attributes will definitely be crushed.
"This is really not good news." Gan Ning said with a frown, and then laughed, "What are you afraid of? The ships captured by Sun Bofu were just small ships. There were no large warships on the Yangtze River more than ten years ago.
, I have my own way of destroying their small boats!"
Chen Xi glanced at the confident Gan Ning and nodded. How could he still turn around now? What a joke.
"Are there nail-head boats, kerosene, and sawdust?" Chen Xi thought for a while and asked. He felt that it was better to be careful. If someone accidentally fell into Zhou Yu's hands and made him famous,
Not good.
"The baggage ship is well prepared. Every time we go to sea, the materials transported by the baggage ship are definitely twice the amount of transportation plus the battles in between." Gan Ning said with a proud look on his face. After all, his ship is big enough, and it is for hauling, which is basically like transporting by land.
Food and fodder were so troublesome, so he always brought whatever he had with him. Since the ship wasn't big enough to carry it, he always brought kerosene no matter when he was going to sea or doing whatever he was doing.
"That's good." Chen Xi nodded, and then pulled Zhuge Liang over and described the current situation to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was stunned for a while. I have to say that Zhuge Liang, who has not yet grown up, is still easy to fool.
.
"I'll leave this matter to you. If you meet Zhou Yu and the situation is like what I told you, remember that I will find a way out for us. Well, this is my holiday homework to take you out to play."
Chen Xi patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder and said.
When Chen Xi said this, he couldn't help but think of a joke. The problem that university professors sometimes cannot solve is the students' final homework...
