Zhu Ran's death had a huge impact on the Soochow forces and Sun Ce.
First, Zhu Ran is the guarantee of the Zhu family’s force and status.
With Zhu Ran here, the Zhu family has firmly secured the top spot among the four wealthy families, and there is still room for improvement in the future.
Zhu Ran is the guarantee for the maximum limit of the Zhu family, but once Zhu Ran dies, the Zhu family will inevitably decline.
Even if the other families didn't mean to add insult to injury, and even if Sun Ce would give him a reward to comfort him, this would still be the case.
This does not depend on personal will.
Second, the Jiangnan family would suspect that Sun Ce deliberately killed Zhu Ran.
Zhu Ran is a self-produced master of the Jiangnan Family who can release his Gang Qi. In comparison, neither Sun Ce nor Cheng Pu nor Han Dang are of the same mind as the Jiangnan Family, or to a certain extent, they are completely opposites.
As a result, internal conflicts will inevitably be intensified.
Even if this was really an accident, even if Sun Cehan really took it seriously, it was far from enough.
But the fact is that Zhu Ran, the only master in the family, died, while Han Dang and Sun Ce were alive and well.
You said it was an accident, then why did Dian Wei come to Sun Ce twice, only to be beaten until he vomited blood, and then became active again within two days?
Why were Zhu Ran and Han Dang able to rescue Sun Ce in time twice when he was in danger, but why could Zhu Ran fail to rescue him?
Nothing fishy here?
Who believes it!
If it wasn't for personal experience, then Sun Ce and Zhou Yu themselves wouldn't believe it.
What's more, people's words are terrifying!
Add to this the fact that some people with ulterior motives are fanning the flames, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Inside the Soochow Army camp, there was a gloomy atmosphere, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it was difficult to breathe.
At this moment, neither Sun Ce nor Zhou Yu had any intention of continuing the attack. Their own backyard was on fire, so how could they care about Cao Cao?
We must prepare for the worst and be prepared to deal with it before the news spreads back. This is not unfounded worry. Politics is never a dinner party.
Since defeating Zhu Ran, Dian Wei has been relaxed these days, but on the other hand, Zhou Tai has encountered a lot of trouble. After all, he still has few soldiers. Cao Zhen has an army of 30,000, with all kinds of equipment, and
Zhou Tai only had 2,000 naval troops in his hands.
If it were on the sea, there would be no need for landlubbers like Cao Zhen, but after all, the Huaihe River is just an inland river, and its water surface is not as wide as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, especially at the intersection of Puguoshui and the Huaihe River.
As it flows through Tushan, the water surface suddenly becomes narrower. The width of the water surface is only about 300 meters. A large catapult can basically cover the entire river surface with all its strength. However, Zhou Tai's task is to ensure that this river channel
The traffic flow was smooth, which made Zhou Tai very uncomfortable.
"What a little broken boat!" Zhou Tai patted the bow of the boat bitterly. To be honest, he only used this thing when he was a bandit on the Yangtze River many years ago. Well... well, it's better than this kind of boat.
It's worse than a boat. If I had such a good thing at that time, I would probably go crazy with joy.
But now, after riding the wind and waves on the sea, I really look down on this small broken ship that can't even be equipped with a trebuchet or a siege crossbow. After all, if you have ever made a BMW, you can't follow
No matter how much she talks about her past relationships, she won't be able to fall in love with you anymore.
Now, in Zhou Tai's eyes, this little broken boat is the Alto that he couldn't afford before.
There was a "bang" sound, and the little broken boat in Zhou Tai's eyes shook for a while. He turned around and saw Gan Ning jumping up, "What a shame, little brother!"
"Uh..." Gan Ning raised his eyebrows and pointed at the pontoon bridge being built above the river, which made Zhou Tai look very embarrassed.
"No, I let them build it first, and when it was halfway through the construction, I set the boat down and burned it down." Zhou Tai defended.
"Then what's going on with the iron locks on the water?"
"After burning the suspension bridge, I will personally cut it off. It's just a matter of a knife to block the river. It's not in the eyes of our brothers."
"Is this what I'm talking about!" Gan Ning gritted his teeth and looked at Zhou Tai, "If you let Cao Zhen struggle like this on the river, how will our fleet transport the people survive?"
"I haven't recruited either. There are only two thousand people. There are fortified camps with thirty thousand people. The catapult can basically cover the entire water surface. Even the small broken boats we have can't do it." Zhou Tai looked aggrieved.
Look.
"You!" Gan Ning slapped his forehead hard, pointed at Zhou Tai's nose and said, "You are so damn stupid!"
Zhou Tai's face turned dark and his eyebrows twitched, but he had no words to refute. He didn't finish the task assigned by him. Looking at Gan Ning's attitude, it was obvious that he had an idea. What could he say, "What's the great governor's plan? I'm all ears."
!”
"If the water surface is not wide enough, just widen it for him." Gan Ning raised the corner of his mouth, with an inscrutable look on his face, "If the mountain is not mine, I will be the mountain. If the water is not wide enough, open it yourself!"
"Fill the ship with sand and gravel and sink it directly downstream. It doesn't take much. If a dozen ships come across, it can basically cross the entire water. Based on the sunken ship, it is easy to build a dam and then go upstream.
The water surface of the river will be raised, which will naturally widen the river channel. Half of Cao Jun’s camp is flooded by him. Look at what a threat he still has."
"No..." Zhou Tai blinked his eyes, thought for a moment and then asked: "How will our boat get across?"
"Stupid, just open a water channel next to it. It's ten meters wide and three meters deep. It's enough for ships to pass. It's just a matter of a few bombs. As for the passing speed, slow down, just slow down, just to give the soldiers a rest.
Already."
Ever since Jia Xu forced him to work as a tool man to clear the way in Bashan, Gan Ning was opened to a new world. He suddenly discovered that as a master of the external release of Gang Qi, he really had the ability to change the terrain of the battlefield.
.
Zhou Tai's eyes suddenly lit up. He was reminded by Gan Ning that he had also entered the new world. He laughed loudly and slapped the deck hard. The deck creaked and almost broke.
After laughing, Zhou Tai rolled his eyes and looked Gan Ning up and down with a sly smile. Gan Ning looked confused, took a step back and said warily: "What are you doing!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "No, I mean the Governor." Zhou Tai stood up, raised his finger and pointed to the river bank on his side and said: "Instead of building a dam downstream, we can open a strip
River, then why don’t we just widen the river here?”
"Your idea is to take off your pants and fart - it's super unnecessary!" Zhou Tai smiled with a look on his face that I am not really stupid.
"If we widen the river channel by more than a hundred meters, Cao Jun will be helpless!" Gan Ning nodded in agreement and extended his thumb to give Zhou Tai a thumbs up, "You are such a talent!
"
Zhou Tai tilted his head slightly, leaned back, suppressed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and waved his left hand repeatedly, "Not good, just average!"
"I can't even yell at you!"
"I'm calling you average!" Gan Ning raised his hand and slapped him in the face, causing Zhou Tai to resist the slap repeatedly.
"Damn it, you just hit someone if you can't say it! I'm telling you, it doesn't matter how loud you are when you have reason, and it doesn't matter how young you are when you have ambition." Zhou Tai blocked from left to right. How could such an attack hurt him? He spoke so harshly.
shouted.
"I don't know whether you are old or not, but I know you are really good at eating rice cakes!" Gan Ning asked with a sneer: "The area of Cao's army camp is more than 300 meters. I want to avoid their catapult attack."
, the river needs to be widened by more than 100 meters, do you know how many square meters of land need to be widened in total?"
"Ah↘↗?" Zhou Tai was dumbfounded on the spot, no, I am a fighting general, didn't I just make a suggestion, do I need to be able to calculate this thing?
Seeing Zhou Tai's appearance, Gan Ning rolled his eyes. Sure enough, the Imperial Master was right. Being uneducated is terrible.
"Let me tell you, if we go by what you said, we will have to carve out an area of at least ninety acres and three meters deep to meet the requirements you said!"
"Ah↘↗?" Zhou Tai still understood how big an acre of land was. Thinking that it was ninety acres, Zhou Tai was so frightened that he couldn't close his jaw. After a while, he looked at Gan Ning and laughed, "The Grand Governor is the Grand Governor, then
That’s what you said, yes, it’s wise!”
"Hmph!" Gan Ning snorted arrogantly, "Otherwise, why would I be the Grand Governor!"
"But..." Gan Ning rubbed his chin with his right hand, looked at the river bank and said to himself: "It would be easier if we opened a separate river channel more than ten meters wide two hundred meters away."
"Huh?" Zhou Tai froze on the spot, and then his face was full of injustice. How is this different from my plan?
Of course there is a difference, it’s a math problem!
