Chapter 1135: Don't give in
Xun Chen got into Guo Jia's car. Guo Jia's carriage was pulled by two oxen, which was not as fast as the carriage, but more stable than the carriage. The carriage is half as long as a normal carriage, and there is a bookshelf in the back half with large and small paper rolls. Xun Chen glanced at it, itching in his heart. This is Guo Jia's mobile office, and there must be a lot of confidential information in it, maybe there is a combat strategy against Xiapi.
"Good car." Xun Chen pretended to be indifferent, praised it, and deliberately turned a blind eye to the full shelves of documents.
"Oh, where's the good?" Guo Jia said while taking out dried fruits and berries from the drawer below and placing them on the table.
Xun Chen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "It's good everywhere, it's good everywhere." ”
Guo Jia poured two cups of pulp and handed one to Xun Chen. "The general strictly ordered me not to drink alcohol, but only to replace wine with pulp. Friends are more than sorry. ”
"General Sun doesn't even care about this?" Xun Chen took the cup and played with it in his hand, his eyes flashing slightly. He has seen many such bamboo cups, Runan is very popular, a section of bamboo, even the knots are removed, cut into the right length, and then the edge is trimmed and smooth. Some people will also carve some patterns or poems on it, which looks more elegant, but after all, the reason is still cheap. Xun Chen thought that it was used by ordinary people, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to use it too.
"I'm not in good health, so I really shouldn't drink more, but I can't control it when I drink, so I just quit."
"The self-winner is strong, no wonder Fengxiao is getting stronger and stronger."
"Don't be flattering, answer my questions." Guo Jia took a sip of pulp and urged.
Seeing that Guo Jia's expression was serious, not like speaking, Xun Chen didn't dare to be careless. He didn't rush to speak, he took a sip of the pulp first, and found that the pulp was slightly cool, not as simple as soaking it in cold water. He paid attention for a moment, and then noticed that Guo Jia's car was cooler than outside, and it seemed that there was still wind. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw two wheels on the wall of the car, constantly turning, and the wind was blowing continuously.
"What is this?"
"Automatic fan." Guo Jia glanced at it. "You don't have to open the windows to keep the air circulating in the car. A new invention of the Wood School. He paused for a moment, then smiled again, "Tricks." ”
Xun Chen laughed, ignored Guo Jia's ridicule, and shook the bamboo cup in his hand. "Why is that? Ice? ”
"Yes. I was too weak to get hot. Guo Jia said, leaning over and pulling the drawer, there was half a box of ice inside.
Xun Chen looked at Guo Jia's white and red face, looked at his double chin, and couldn't help but take a sip. Guo Jia's health turned out to be not very good, but now he has no connection with the patient, which is clearly showing off. "Fengxiao, where do you put the famous doctor of Nanyang Materia Medica."
Guo Jia couldn't help laughing, and finally regained the bohemian and uninhibited in Xun Chen's impression. Xun Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is Mr. Boqiu good?" Zhang Zhongjing spent so much effort to cure him, and after being locked up with you for a few months, he is about to be wasted, right? ”
"It's okay, I'll take you to him later. He's a bait, and we've used him to catch hundreds of rangers to make up for the losses of the Righteous Battalion, so how can we let him die so easily. ”
Xun Chen nodded with a smile, pretending not to see Guo Jia's banter. At least one-third of the hundreds of rangers who were captured by Guo Jia were Jianghuai rangers. This area was originally a place that was easy to hide, after He Hao was captured, Cao Ang, Liu He all sent people to rob the prison, and some rangers organized themselves, but they didn't succeed, but many people entered Runan, attracted by the new atmosphere of Runan, and turned to join the army.
Needless to say, Guo Jia is the mastermind behind the scenes, with the assistance of Xu Yu and Dian Wei, few rangers can escape the net set by him. Xun Chen was suddenly startled, could those rangers who fled back be caught by Guo Jia and deliberately put back? Many of these people are in the army, and some are also entrusted with intelligence gathering, if it is Guo Jia's arrangement, it is a hidden danger.
Xun Chen was uneasy, and he was distracted for a while. Should you rush back immediately and deal with it in person, or write back to Liu He to deal with it? These are all his responsibilities, and he doesn't want Liu He to interfere. What's more, there was a mistake, he didn't want anyone to know, if he could deal with it quietly, it would certainly be the best outcome. But he hadn't seen Sun Ce yet, so he couldn't leave easily. Sun Ce's delay in not seeing him for a long time, could it be done on purpose?
The more Xun Chen thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he forgot the question Guo Jia asked him.
Guo Jia didn't urge him, and drank the pulp silently.
The ox cart slowly moved forward, there was a workshop near Gepi, there were a lot of pedestrians and vehicles, and the road here was maintained very well, Xun Chen almost didn't feel a little bumpy, unconsciously, they entered a military camp, Guo Jia got out of the car, and led Xun Chen forward. After turning two corners, Xun Chen saw two tall trebuchets at a glance, with long poles ten zhang in length, one end thick, one thin end, and the thick end was bigger than a hug. The poles are spliced together, and there are ten ropes tied together on the poles, like bamboo joints.
"It's ......"
"Giant stone thrower." Guo Jia said casually: "A sharp weapon that has both offense and defense." ”
Xun Chen's eyes rolled, and he understood what Guo Jia meant by leading him to see, and couldn't help laughing: "I see, can Feng Xiao take me to see the workshop of the stone bullet." Such a large stone throwing machine must also use a larger stone projectile, right? How much is this stone bullet? Thousands, or tens of thousands? ”
Guo Jia smiled but did not answer, and led Xun Chen forward. They walked a long way, until the giant stone thrower turned into a black spot in their field of vision, and Xun Chen saw a wall, some craftsmen were bare-chested, sweating and busy, and there were a lot of adobe and gravel scattered next to it. Xun Chen realized that this was the location of the imaginary target of the stone thrower, and couldn't help but gasp and look back again.
"How far is that?"
"Three hundred steps." Guo Jia pointed to the wall being repaired. "For the assault on the gates. There are three specifications of stone bullets: 100 stones, 150 stones, and 200 stones. If you hit, you will break the goal. ”
Xun Chen's face twitched twice, and he forced a smile: "How many shots can you get one?" ”
Guo Jia frowned and smacked his lips. "This is the problem of tackling key problems now, the hit rate of different projectiles is quite different, 200 stones can be 1 out of 5, but 100 stones are only 1 out of 10. But the range of 200 stones is only 300 paces, and no further can be reached. A hundred stone can be as far as 500 steps, but the hit rate is even lower, only 30 in one. ”
Xun Chen looked at the wall, and then looked at Guo Jia. "Fengxiao, are you talking about the middle wall, or the middle city gate?"
Guo Jia glanced back at him. "Of course it's the city gate, didn't I just say that? The walls can be hit, but they can't be broken, so it doesn't really mean much. ”
Xun Chen's cheeks twitched, and he wanted to laugh but didn't. "Bong filial piety, amazing, amazing. Three hundred steps away, one out of ten iron bullets of one hundred stones, and one of five out of five iron bullets of two hundred stones, this quasi-head is simply a hundred steps to shoot willows, the first in the world. ”
Guo Jia looked at Xun Chen quietly, until Xun Chen stopped smiling, and then said unhurriedly: "You can't talk about shooting willows in a hundred steps, it's the first in the world, you should not let it go." ”
