The previous consideration was that Zhao Yun assisted in defending Langya and Guan Yu guarding Pei County, so that a balance could be played in terms of troops, but transferring Guan Yu to Xuzhou, in terms of troops, it became an absolute suppression of Yan Liang's Jizhou army, but the corresponding was the relative disadvantage of Zhao Yun's 30,000 troops and the defenders of Jiapei County in front of Cao's army.

Therefore, after Liu Lan weighed the number of troops available for deployment now, he came to the conclusion that there was no suitable candidate for a giant, of course, except for Zhang Fei, who was shouting for war not long ago, but he was a backhand, so at this moment Liu Lan was a little hesitant, whether to send or not.

Liu Lan had to call Xu Shu to discuss this matter to see what his reaction was, whether he was for or against, and if so, who should be sent over?

Xu Shu just pondered for a while, and said: "Now we can send not many troops, it was Tian Ji's idea of horse racing, that is, to use Zhao Yun to resist Cao Cao, Guan Yu to defeat Yan Liang, and then Guan Yu galloped to help Pei County, if the lord is worried about Pei County, then it can only let Yide pass." Speaking of this, Xu Shu smiled slightly: "I wonder if the lord is willing to let Yide pass?" “

Liu Lan was really silent, everything was expected by Xu Shu, if it was someone else, Liu Lan would definitely accept it, then everything would be simple, but if it was Zhang Fei, Liu Lan would definitely think about it carefully and would not make a decision too quickly.

Liu Lan finally shook his head, "What if you let Lu Su lead more than 5,000 people from the Wet Whisker Dock over?" ”

Xu Shu sighed secretly in his heart, and sure enough, Liu Lan still thought of Lu Su, and smiled bitterly: "Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, not to mention that Lu Su's more than 5,000 people are a drop in the bucket, it is better to let him stay with Zhang Fei to attack Shouchun and retreat to defend Guangling." ”

"Then there is no one to choose from?" Liu Lan said a little helplessly: "Then just let the two of them go over together." ”

"My lord, this is desperate, and there is no way back?"

Liu Lan was not in a hurry, and said: "It's not desperate, but I don't want Pei County to lose too much, after all, Cao Cao is not a vegetarian on his side, if Yan Liang is defeated, but Pei County's troops are defeated by Cao Cao, then all our deployments will become meaningless, so instead of letting Zilong defend hard, it is better to send more people over, and there is no suitable candidate except Zhang Fei and Lu Su, so simply send both of them over, as for whether sending the two over will affect the overall situation, it is not certain, but at least, After these two people are sent, they can at least guarantee that they will have a rivalry with Cao Jun. “

Of course, Xu Shu knew what Liu Lan meant, now Cao Cao is attacking Pei County, if it is in the east and west, then once he finds that Pei County is not so difficult to attack, he will be afraid that Cao Cao will temporarily change his intentions, if he really wants to attack Pei County, then Zhao Yun and Cao Cao This battle will be a fierce battle no matter who wins or loses, the result is that Xu Sheng took the initiative to ask Pei County as a bait, and if the loss is too great, then the capital that Liu Lan has accumulated over the years will be burned.

So what he has to do is to make Pei County look stronger, but it also wants him to see a glimmer of hope, so the meaning of sending two of him over is far more effective than sending only one person over, just like attacking the city, looking at the capture of it, it is a little bit worse, and this is the most seductive, always let you see hope, when you put the troops crazy into it, but find that Pei County is a bottomless pit.

And this is what Liu Lan is thinking about now, maybe it doesn't seem to have much significance for the Battle of Xuzhou, but it can always hook Cao Cao in Peixian, so the effect will appear immediately.

Although Liu Lan also knew that the role of the two of them in the past was not great, but the effect was very obvious, so he would discuss with Xu Shu to see his attitude before making a decision, but Xu Shu's clear opposition made him a little unexpected, which made Liu Lan a little disappointed, although he also had to compromise, after all, he was already taking a risk, if there was any accident, Cao Cao would not take care of Pei County at all, then this loss would be too great, once Cao Cao turned to attack Xiapi, there would be no Zhang Fei at that time. The battle of Xuzhou is too dangerous.

This is that Liu Lan is a little risky, but this is not his style, but he has to Xu Shu to nod before he can do it, this is not what it used to be, he is no longer the desperate military Sima of the past, he must be responsible for the consequences brought about by this, so under Xu Shu's strong opposition, he had to choose to give up.

I thought that Xu Shu was going to say goodbye and leave, but I didn't expect him to have other things, and this matter was about the navy, because the first armory factory was separated from the shipyard, this matter was a big matter, Xu Shu had to report to him, of course, Liu Lan had already arranged the shipyard things, especially in order to go to Jingzhou for large ships, which was a great irony and stimulation for Liu Lan, so at that time Liu Lan issued a strict order, Xuzhou must be able to have its own shipyard, not only ships, walkers and ships, And make iron boats!

Liu Lan thought that after he said this, it would be absolutely scary, after all, the wooden warships in this era are still in the most primitive stage, and the iron ship must not be thought of by many people, but what is unexpected is that Ou Yejian was not the slightest surprised, as if everything was natural.

After all, Ou Yejian knows Liu Lan too well, for so many years, he can always say something novel to open his eyes, at this moment when he says that he wants to build an iron boat, there is no fuss at all, and it is far from being as new as when he told him to give a horseshoe to the war horse.

However, the horseshoe is obviously easier, and to build an iron boat, the difficulty is too great, after all, a building ship and a ship need so many people to let him act on the water, so that such an iron bump moves, it is more difficult, and even some of the gains outweigh the losses, many people didn't understand it too much at the time, but Liu Lan gave Ou Yejian a very open brain, whether he could replace manpower with other methods.

Liu Lan said it casually in a joke, but Ou Yejian, who knew Liu Lan, would not think so, because of many things, Liu Lan was used to saying what he wanted to say in a joking tone.

For this reason, the shipyard was built under the auspices of Ou Yejian, the shipyard completely imitated the arsenal, building a ship, a ship and a production line, and the iron boat also set up a research plant, mainly to attack the iron boat, and the most surprising thing for Liu Lan was that the vision of the technology madman Ou Yejian was much farther than him, and he specially found some excellent craftsmen, and said to Liu Lan that he used other ways to make the ship sail instead of manpower.

This research institute is one of the many research institutes of the Ordnance Factory, the number of people is not large, there are only a few, as for Liu Lan, he is far from giving more ideas, just let them study and think about it by themselves, not that he thinks that they will think of the principle of using steam, but they need to let them use their own brains.

Especially in the military industry, it will innovate and improve science and technology, so Liu Lan wants these 'scientific research' personnel to be able to open their minds, just like Du Shi created water drains, in this era, there is no need to study the possibility of replacing manpower, but it can completely save manpower.

Therefore, every time Liu Lan proposes to Ou Yejian, its purpose is only to give them a far direction and goal, and this direction and goal sometimes makes many people doubt themselves and even suspect that Liu Lan is an impossible thing in itself, but in fact, their efforts are just a long way from the goal, but they still can't see hope for the time being or even decades.

But they are actually already improving, and even in some directions, they have exceeded Liu Lan's expectations, and this is what Liu Lan wants to see, what he needs is not to see them invent muskets and cannons all at once, which is useless, it is far from meaningful to change the status quo, what he needs is a different concept than before, so that more craftsmen can become the real leaders of this era, instead of letting their efforts become strange and ingenious skills in the eyes of others.

What he wants to change is not only the parallel between agriculture and commerce and industry, but also to let those craftsmen at the bottom of society have a good environment to change this era, and use their hands to change, not Liu Lan.

After all, Liu Lan can play a very small role, and what can be changed is even more of a drop in the ocean, but they are different, so Liu Lan just provides them with a good environment and a platform that can make them more comfortable.

And whether it is Tie Ke or the improvement of weapons, it is the same, maybe now Tie Ke is still only in the theoretical stage, it is impossible to appear in a short time, but for these boatmen, they already have a direction, a change of angle, can also make them more motivated, maybe one day they will encounter setbacks, as happened before, there will be doubts and doubts, but when the time comes, as long as Ou Yejian grasps the scale, gives encouragement and even fully affirms their ability, so that they do not get discouraged, it will be fine.

Xu Shu's introduction to the shipyard made Liu Lan sigh, he deliberately let the soldiers hold the fragrant tea again, he needs to discuss this matter with Xu Shu, in general, now the dock is mainly based on the ship, after all, Xuzhou is now lacking warships, what he wants to do is not only to surpass Sun Ce's navy, but more importantly, to surpass the Jingzhou navy, so the warship must be launched quickly.

As long as he is on the Yangtze River and keeps his own interests, after that, he can send warships to the ocean, and Liu Lan's long-term goal is not only the South Seas, but the Americas, where Liu Lan can have the potatoes, peppers and corn that Liu Lan wants most.

And these are the keys to Liu Lan's urgency for Tieke, but with the current technology, it is obviously just a luxury, but Liu Lan believes that one day, it will become a reality.
