Chapter 140: Jingzhou Strategy (2)

"General, what did you say the military advisor was doing, why did he suddenly start cutting wood and building ships, and these are all craftsmen recruited at will." When inspecting the riverside, Yan Liang looked at the Jingzhou military ships still swimming there on the river from a distance, but he was helpless, and he asked with a puzzled face.

"I don't know." Guan Yu said with a wry smile at this time, alas, he has commanded all the infantry and cavalry, but the navy is still new to contact, and he still doesn't understand the gameplay of the navy.

"Hansheng, do you think their shipbuilding method is useful?" On the Jingzhou military ship inspecting at this time, Huang Chengyan stood on the bow of the ship and withdrew his gaze, turned his head and asked Huang Zhong.

"Strategist, you know ships better than I do, how do I know?" Huang Zhong listened to Huang Chengyan shouting to himself at this time, his heart was not happy, he sighed, and said, "Of course, although I don't know how to build ships, I know a fact, ships are not built like this. ”

"Yes, that's not how ships are made." Putting down the clairvoyant mirror, Huang Chengyan nodded and said, no matter which shipbuilding craftsman is, he doesn't rivet the logs directly, and now the opposite side is directly building ships with the wood that has just been cut.

The method is very simple, just like tying bamboo rows, riveting these giant logs, and that's it......

In short, this is a very inappropriate way of shipbuilding, and Huang Chengyan feels that this kind of ship made without material treatment is difficult to collide with his own ship and attack without dispersing.

Therefore, after listening to the patrol general's reports several times, Huang Chengyan personally came out to see what was going on this time, but it seemed to be no different, for the enemy's shipbuilding method, the ship built was not usable at all, and now it seems that the size of the enemy's ship is larger than that of the ship, but the ship has complete protection, and now the enemy's ship does not even have a place to paddle.

This is the weirdest place, in the clairvoyant mirror, the enemy's ship looks like an enlarged flat-bottomed boat used to travel in the stream, there is no place for protection at all, this boat is on the Han River, let alone engagement, I am afraid that the current will be scattered as soon as it rushes!

Although the Han River is not as good as the big river, the water in this section is also very turbulent, and ordinary boats cannot come and go at will, especially when the water level is rising now.

Guo Jia naturally knew all kinds of rumors in the camp, but he didn't take it to heart at all, and he was still happy to build his own big ship.

"Back to Master Guo, we have finished building the chain you want us to build." The craftsmen in the camp were building a large number of chains according to Guo Jia's requirements, and they hurried to report after they were completed, after all, Guo Jia's requirements were as soon as possible.

"Okay, ordinary craftsmen will receive a reward of one silver coin, and the others will increase the reward according to their level." Guo Jia waved his hand, the chains were ready, the big ship was also being built, and all that was left was to conduct another test.

An unremarkable scribe was on Guo Jia's side at this time, and Guo Jia and the other craftsmen stepped back, so they turned their heads and asked, "Gong Zheng, how is it?" ”

The scribe who was called Zheng Gong by Guo Jia returned to the table at this time, drew a few times on the white paper on the floor, and then said: "There is basically no problem, Feng Xiaogong, you can let someone test it." ”

After a while, the generals in the army arrived, Guan Yu stood on one side, and at this time Guo Jia introduced: "Everyone, this is Zheng Gong, the young eunuch of the Shaofu. ”

The generals under the command of Guan Yu don't know enough about Shaofu, so naturally they don't know Zheng Hun either.

Zheng Hun, the word Wengong, is a native of Kaifeng, Henan. In his early years, Zheng Hun took his nephew to avoid chaos in Huainan and was valued by Yuan Shu. But he saw that Yuan Shu was difficult to achieve great things, and he was unwilling to cooperate. Cao Cao heard that he was loyal and talented, so he was "called to Peng". Later, Cai Chang and Shao Ling were relocated. Cao Cao conquered Hanzhong and took Zheng Hun as Chang'an Jingzhaoyin. Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, with Yangping, Pei two counties too shou, and then transferred to Shanyang, Wei county too shou, when the Ming Emperor, moved to be a master craftsman, died in office.

Zheng Hun's historical merits lie in the fact that he implemented a series of governance measures to develop the rural economy and improve the lives of the people.

Zheng Hun is an honest official, although he is in a high position, "his wife is not free from hunger". In a feudal society, it is really commendable that an official can be so considerate of the people and honest and honest.

Speaking of Zheng Hun, this person is not simple, he is the only person in the history of the Three Kingdoms who has been recorded in history as a craftsman, in addition, the last time the author talked about Ma Jun, the greatest mechanical inventor in China during this period, the identity is Zheng Hun's disciple. However, historians at that time attributed his historical achievements to the fact that he implemented a series of governance measures to develop the rural economy and improve the lives of the people, completely ignoring Zheng Hun's outstanding contributions to metal smelting technology. The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms record this person is also limited to his political exploits.

Zheng Hun's character Wengong, Chen Liujun's people, Zheng Hun's forging skills are exquisite, this is not the time to be born, and the former Han Gongqing did not pay attention to such people; And Yang Yi had already ordered the caravan to travel around the country to look for such people to recruit.

Zheng Hun had already served in the Northern Regions before, and after Yang Yi entered Beijing, he naturally belonged to the Conglong Meritorious Minister, and was a young eunuch of the Shaofu, and he was one step away from the position of Jiuqing.

"Trouble the generals, help me cut this thing into such long, thin strips." Zheng Hun took out a piece of wood at this time, compared his hair, and then said to General Guan Yu after making a length of about half an inch.

This is a trivial matter, most of the generals have this ability, but at this time, Guan Yu, who was originally squinting, looked at the wood, did not make a knife, just stretched out his hand and patted it, and the entire case was a pile of extremely fine wood wire, exactly the same.

Zheng Hun swept away all the wood silk at this time, then took out a prop that had been prepared, and ordered someone to carry a large bucket of water in.

"Pour a little bit into this first." Glancing at the vat that was taller than himself, it was carried by several brave sergeants, Zheng Hun pointed to the props and said.

The sergeants smoothly poured the water into the props that Zheng Hun pointed to, and Zheng Hun told them to stop when it was almost full.

After that, I saw Guo Jia open the back trough of the props, the water flowed out quickly, and the land in the big tent was quickly wet.

"Hanshui is almost at this flow rate, give another prop to the front." Zheng Hun observed carefully, and then took out a long list of props from the side and connected them in front.

"Seeing that there is no amount of water just now, just pour it into it according to the continuous one, pour the water to the full point first, and wait for me to open the gate in a while, and you will start pouring water." Zheng Hun said to the bewildered sergeants.

After filling the prop with water, Zheng Hun took out the pile of wooden wires, looked at the quantity, and then placed them on the side near the edge of the prop.

"Prepare to pour water...... Zheng Hun ordered.

At the moment when Zheng Hun pulled the prop away, the water in the prop flowed out rapidly, and the sergeants hurriedly poured the same amount of water, and the wooden silk that was originally on the edge of the prop slowly moved with the current.

Then, with the appearance of the pass, the natural speed of the water flow increased rapidly, and gradually swung sideways due to the continuous impact.

Soon the wood silk poured into the water pass, and at first there was still wood silk that could flow through, but with the influx of a large pile of wood silk, the pass was gradually blocked, and the wood silk that continued to come down behind made the wood silk in the pass more and more tightly blocked.

In the end, they were clumped together and blocked at the pass, and there was no longer a single piece of wood that could float down.

"Sure enough, there's no need to pour water." Seeing that the wooden wire was blocked there, and the water was still passing through, Zheng Hun, who was squatting on the ground and watching, was completely relieved at this time, but at this time, the big tent was already full of water.

"Do you understand?"

Guo Jia came forward to ask at this time, except for a few people, the rest of the people looked like they had suddenly realized at this time, Guan Yu still shook his head and sighed at this time.

"Well, in a few days, we can cross the river and clean up those traitors!" Guan Yu was full of anger, but when he saw the wooden silk clogged up in the props, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

……

Liu Biao is very busy these days, of course, it is not to deal with anyone, in his opinion, this battle has little meaning for him, he has not had the intention of separating, and now he has been kidnapped by the Yangzhou clan in Jingzhou.

Otherwise, he will go back to the imperial capital now, after all, Liu Biao knows very well that it is still the Han Dynasty, and the current one has not ascended the throne without authorization, so as to determine the world by himself, and cut off the righteousness, but to listen to the government with the queen He Mi, and the one is the regent, although it is called the regent, but in fact it is the power of the emperor.

Someone once said that after the world was subdued, it was when that person ascended the throne, Liu Biao also knew very well that this should be true, but it didn't matter, the world was still a big man, or Liu's country, then it would be fine.

He, the Great Han Zongqing, is still a big official of 2,000 stones, and he can't say that he can become one of the Jiuqing if he can't return to the dynasty, how can he be willing to raise the flag of rebellion, which makes the Jingzhou Shi clan very dissatisfied, but he can't help Liu Biao, so he can only come forward and resist the southward movement of the Korean army.

"Is the river almost cleared?" Looking at the message that came, Liu Biao asked.

Unlike the construction of rivers in the north, the south, especially in the south of Jingnan, where rivers are all over the country, cannot be called building rivers, but can only be said to be dredging.

"It is said that the dredging has been completed, and it still takes a certain amount of time for the two counties of Guiyang and Lingling to be dredged, Jiaozhou has already taken the line, and Zhu Fu has taken the initiative to contact us." At this time, the staff reported the current information to Liu Biao.

"Well, it's a good job, Jiaozhou Thorn Shi Zhu Fu?" Liu Biao thought for a while and said, "Find a suitable time to kill him." ”

The staff looked at Liu Biao with a puzzled expression, this belongs to the person who has served the service, how can you say that if you kill it, you will kill it, doesn't this chill people's hearts?

"This person has a bad official reputation, he is ambitious, it is better to kill him, if you think about our current situation a little, you should know that this Jiaozhou assassin history should not be attached to us from any point of view." Liu Biao explained a little and said.

"It's my lord, I'll deal with this matter when I get back." After a little thought, I understood that they now seem to be beautiful, occupying Jingzhou, Yangzhou counties expressed their willingness to be Liu Jingsheng's lackeys, and then there is Jiaozhou, this is the Han world, and he Liu Jingsheng will dominate the three states.

What is this trying to do?

Rebellion?

It is clear that he wants to roast Liu Biao on the fire, Liu Biao is naturally unwilling, if he has some strength in Jingzhou, he will think about it, now he has never operated at all, and he is like a puppet when he speaks, how can he be willing to give them these careerists as guns.

On the front line, Huang Chengyan was also driven to the shelves, he was not ready to go out of the mountain, he just wanted to be a person behind the scenes, but he couldn't help it, now in the world of great controversy, it is also the time of great controversy, the Huang family is united, others are soft-spoken, and they can only work for the family.

"Is there any movement across the river?" After looking at the political strategy sent to him, Huang Chengyan asked while watching.

"It's still going on logging, but lately they've been building less ships and they're starting to build pontoon bridges at the narrow mouth." Huang Zu sneered at this time, "So far, we have only built more than a hundred steps, and looking at the water potential, it is basically impossible to repair it at this level." ”

"Huh?" Huang Chengyan raised his head at this time, frowning obviously, although the northerners don't understand such things as water warfare and river crossing, but there will be no such obvious mistakes and omissions, and what is even more incredible is that it is an incredible idea to build a pontoon bridge in a place where the water is so turbulent.

"What does Guan Yunchang want to do?" Thinking about it, but he didn't understand, Huang Chengyan felt a slight headache, turned his head to Huang Zhong and said, "Han Sheng, do you think they are giving up on themselves or are they suspicious?" ”

Compared with Huang Zu, Huang Chengyan still valued Huang Zhong more, but at this time, Huang Zu hurriedly said:

"I don't think it's possible to cross the Han River without a boat, and the small boat built on the other side has no meaning at all under our inspection, and the big boats we patrol back and forth are also very dense, and the precautions are also very strict, and they can't fly, how can they come?"

Huang Zhong didn't answer anything, he and Huang Zu thought about the same, he felt that there was no big mistake in the current strategy, the DPRK and China were only sending partial divisions now, and the military strength was insufficient, although it was about famous generals such as Yun Chang, but now in this situation, whoever has changed, as long as he can't fly, it won't be a big deal!

Moreover, the patrol range of each ship is now carefully divided.

Although it seems to be a lot more rigid, the result is that if Guan Yu wants to cross the river, he will either take a boat from more than 40 miles downstream, or from a place more than 40 miles upstream.

If Guan Yu can lead his subordinates to cross the river strongly, then he needs to move dozens of miles to cross the river, at that time, he needs to fight with his own side, and under his strict inspection, how can Guan Yu have a large army back and forth for dozens of miles without being discovered, this is absolutely impossible.

In short, now, after the upper and lower reaches of the Han River are controlled by the navy, it is destined that Guan Yu wants to cross the river, and he can only fight hard from the river where the boats and boats are patrolling everywhere, otherwise, either he has no combat effectiveness in the past, or if he moves far away, he will be found intended, and he still has to fight with his own naval ships.

If he leads his subordinates to run dozens of miles, if he still has to quickly enter the battle, and the difference in the strength of the two sides is not large, this can only be a war that must be lost.
