Chapter 289 One day, Guan was forced to play support?
In Jiaozhou, at the junction of Nanhai County and Soochow, elegant music played.
Hundreds of children sang in unison toward the ship on the line between the water and the sky: "Hey, the deer roars, and the apples in the wild are eaten. I have a guest, the harp and the sheng... The sheng, the drum and the reed, the basket bearer is the general. I am a good person,
Show me how to travel..."
A small number of Lu Xun tribesmen have arrived in Jiaozhou.
However, considering Cao Cao's spy, Shi Xie temporarily resettled them in Nanhai County, along with the houses, fields, and shops that had been prepared for them.
It can be seen that Jiaozhou welcomes these 100,000 Wujun Lu family members extremely.
On the contrary, it is the junction of Cangwu County in Jiaozhou and Jingzhou, and the Qujiang Port leading to the Xiangjiang River...
The warships, which can carry 500 people, are already parked at the pier in a row.
There are more than sixty ships, which is not a small number for Jiaozhou. They are all the navy warships at the bottom of the box. They have all been taken out.
Nearly 25,000 Lu family soldiers boarded the ship one after another. Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua had already been standing on the ship, eyes narrowed, first looking at the Jiaozhou scholar family who came to see Lu Xun off on the shore, and then looking to the north...
My heart is full of emotions.
Because he was worried about being seen by Sima Yi, Han Xuan did not appear in the farewell procession.
Lu Xun said to Shi Xie earnestly and thoughtfully, "General Lao Shi will take care of a bunch of people for me..."
Shi Xie said with emotion: "Well, Boyan, don't worry. I have moved all the people in the southwestern area of the South China Sea. Just to free up a place for one hundred thousand Lu family members to live, Master Yunqi said that we can build a Nanhai there."
Tougucheng, the entire city is for the Lu family to live in... I think this idea is very good, and I have entrusted it to my son Hui to do it... I expected that when Boyan comes back, he will see this vibrant and prosperous city.
Nantou Ancient City’!”
Huh... Hearing this, Lu Xun felt a little more at ease, but there was still a slight worry on his face, as if there was something hidden in his heart.
Shi Xie saw Lu Xun's hesitation and asked quickly, "Is Boyan still worried about anything?"
"At this point, I shouldn't have said some words..." Lu Xun pondered for a moment, and then decided to blurt out: "But in the end, when we say goodbye, I'd better say it. If I don't say it, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say it."
Lu Xun's tone became solemn.
"I have seen the 'Nantou Ancient City' that General Shi arranged for our Lu family members. It was just a fishing village before. Of course, Xun doesn't think the fishing village is bad. It is surrounded by mountains and sea and is enough to support a hundred thousand Lu family members.
Let them stay away from the war and live a worry-free life, but... Xun still feels sorry for these tribesmen after all. They originally lived in a prosperous place in Wu County... and they are local rich families, but in this ancient city of Nantou... there are still differences after all...
"
"Hahaha..." Before Lu Xun could finish his words, Shi Xie had already understood his concerns. He immediately pondered for a moment and said with emotion: "There is one thing that, logically speaking, I shouldn't say to Boyan..."
"What words?"
"Master Yunqi asked Mr. Han to say something and bring a picture..." Shi Xie's tone also became meticulous. He took out the simple map from his arms, "This picture is a map of the sea, and
Not to mention the far side, there are many islands in the short distance. The number of these islands is no less than three hundred...including the Dongsha Islands, Xisha Islands...and the far Zhongsha Islands, Nansha Islands..."
Speaking of this, Shi Xie's tone became more solemn, "And what Master Yunqi asked Mr. Han to bring is nothing else but a place close to the sea that can become a port and a place to go to sea. In the future, it will be the best place in Jiaozhou."
Prosperous places...such as Jiaozhi County, where the current government is located, will be overtaken by Nanhai County sooner or later...That's why Mr. Yunqi suggested that I build the 'Nantou Ancient City' here and settle the Lu family here.
In the future, these islands and the huge wealth in them are all, Master Yunqi has high hopes for Boyan and your tribe..."
As soon as he said this, Lu Xun looked at the "Go to Sea Map" in his hand with astonishment. For a moment, it seemed as if his throat was choked. Even if he opened his mouth, he couldn't even utter a exclamation.
Lu Xun is an extremely transparent and wise person. He can feel that if this map is true, then... how huge is the wealth contained in these islands?
This wealth is not only comparable to that of the Lu family in Wu County, but also to the entire four major families in Wu County!
call--
He let out a long breath, even though it took a long time, Lu Xunyou was stunned, staring at the map with his eyes.
After a long while, he finally chanted, "I understand, Mr. Yun Qi wants my Lu family to start building ocean-going ships..."
That’s right…
During the Three Kingdoms period, ships from Soochow could reach Yizhou, an indivisible part of China.
It can be seen that Soochow is skilled in shipbuilding and has certain navigation capabilities...
As one of the four major families in Wu County, the Lu family ranks third among the eight major families in Soochow. It is absolutely impossible to say that they know nothing about ship construction!
Guan Lin intended...to let these 100,000 Lu family members go to the South China Sea, yes, the South China Sea, not Nanhai County. Guan Lin wanted them to continue to shine...to colonize the islands outside, and then continue to expand.
However, Guan Lin probably didn't expect that this map, which was a little ahead of its time and seemed difficult to understand, made Lu Xun's eyes light up at this moment.
If we talk about the past, he, Lu Xun, was a trapped beast in Soochow, fighting like a trapped beast!
So... now...
More than just breaking through, more than just breaking the situation, your horizons and structure are suddenly opened up!
Everything in the sea fascinated Lu Xun...
After all, this Fourth Young Master Guan can even make the Eight Ox Crossbow that can kill someone eight hundred steps away.
Ocean sailing? How can it be out of the question?
Fascinated…
For a moment, Lu Xun couldn't help but become fascinated.
However, even so, he still underestimated the 'Nantou Ancient City' in Nanhai County.
You know, in later generations, an old man drew a circle on the South China Sea, and then the city rose up like a myth, and miraculously gathered mountains of gold...
Then, what was once a small fishing village on the South China Sea suddenly turned into Greater Shenzhen.
The fishermen who were once small fishing villages have now become people wearing tractors, big pants, drinking breakfast, seemingly wandering around all day long, with nothing to do, but any one of them... has more than eight digits in their balance!
——Nantou Ancient Town, South Pier…
This is a city and port that can create miracles and wealth!
Of course, Lu Xun couldn't think of so much. He was just thinking, would there be land outside the sea?
"Bo Yan...the soldiers have all boarded the ship and are waiting for you."
Seeing Lu Xun standing there in a daze, Sun Ru quickly reminded him.
Lu Xun finally woke up from his shock and bowed deeply to Shi Xie.
"Junior, take your leave!"
Shi Xie also handed over his hand, "Waiting for Boyan to become a blockbuster and shock the world!"
Lu Xun replied: "I am also waiting for the ancient city of Nantou to become increasingly prosperous and the entire Nanhai County to ride the wind and waves and set sail!"
The two of them bowed solemnly to each other at the port again, and Zhang Chunhua also nodded.
Immediately, Lu Xun boarded the ship. He stood at the bow and looked at Sima Yi.
The flag is waving.
"——All ships, set sail and march towards Jiangxia!"
"——Whether our Lu family can ride the wind and waves and become famous all over the world is now!"
Following Lu Xun's words.
Sima Yi felt that the hanging stone in his heart was completely put down. He looked back at Zhang Chunhua, and Zhang Chunhua's eyes, in addition to admiration, seemed to reveal a sentence:
——"Zhongda, this trip...you really won!"
…
…
On the Xiangfan battlefield, Guan Yu was pacing back and forth in the Guan family army camp and the Chinese army tent, and his son Guan Xing suggested.
"Father, although Xu Huang's ten-layered antlers are tight, they are not invulnerable. My son, please bring a troop of soldiers and horses to burn the antlers first, and then father can attack the enemy's stronghold!"
"Yeah..." Guan Yinping also looked ready to make a move, "Didn't my father tell you that in the old Tushan battle, my father was able to defeat the three generals Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, and Xu Huang. Although it took some effort, he was able to defeat the enemy generals.
Huh? Judging from this, this Xu Huang is nothing more than this!"
As Guan Yinping said...
In the past, Guan Yu and Xu Huang not only fought in Zaolin, but also fought on the battlefield.
That was before Guan Yu briefly surrendered to Cao Cao. It was the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang who escaped from Cao Cao's control under the guise of killing Yuan Shu and captured Xuzhou... Cao Cao sent out an army to conquer Tushan in the Battle of Xiapi City.
In that battle, Cao Cao sent three generals: Xiahou Dun, Xu Huang, and Xu Chu. Cao Cao thought that even if he could not defeat Guan Yu, he would definitely not be defeated.
But no one expected that the final result would be that Guan Yu won, Xiahou Dun was defeated, and Xu Chu and Xu Huang were completely defeated!
Guan Yu often mentioned this battle in the army, and every time he mentioned it he was arrogant, as if all the generals in Cao Wei were trash!
But this time...
Guan Yu unexpectedly shook his head and said: "You guys underestimate Xu Gongming too much! In the battle at Tushan in Xiapi City, Xuzhou, Xiahou Dun just lured his father out of the city, and then fought for his father against Cao General Xu Chu and Xu Huang. The reason why
We were able to repel them because these two people did not dare to go all out. Cao Cao instructed them to capture Guan rather than kill Guan!"
Speaking of this, Guan Yu said with emotion: "My father's Qinglong Sword is always a killing move, but the two of them are too timid to kill! Later, when they arrived in Xudu, these... Zhang Wenyuan told his father the truth...
What's more, this Xu Gongming and I met when we were young. We met in Zaolin, and we have competed dozens of times. His martial arts may not be as good as mine, but the gap is far from that big!"
My father used to be arrogant and arrogant...how could he say such words as "to increase the ambition of others and destroy one's own prestige"?
But...but this time, these words suddenly appeared in everyone's ears.
Guan Suo, on the other hand, seemed to understand something suddenly after being briefly surprised.
He thought to himself:
——"In the past, I always felt that my fourth brother's tit-for-tat confrontation with his father was unreasonable and violated his filial piety... But now I realize that my father has really changed a lot because of him and has become a lot more rational."
At this moment, Zhou Cang hurriedly reported: "Second General, it's not good... The spies found out that Lu Xun led more than 25,000 Lu family troops and more than 60 warships appeared in Jingzhou and are now going up the Xiangjiang River. , it seems that the target is... Jiangxia County where the Fourth Young Master is stationed! It is Xiakou, he wants to capture Xiakou and make Anlu City vulnerable to enemies from both sides!"
Well…
Guan Yu's red phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. He did not speak in a hurry, but thought for a moment.
He remembered the letter he received from his son Guan Lin just a few days ago.
The content is very short, concise and concise, and there is not even a greeting. It is simply a waste of words.
Just two sentences:
——Jiaozhou is a friend, not an enemy!
——Lu Xun and Lu Jiajun are friends, not enemies!
Today, Guan Yu finally understood the purpose of this boy Yun Qi's letter!
This is a reminder...
This is because he is afraid that I will miss something important!
Wait...if he was a friend but not an enemy, why did he go to Jiangxia County and direct his troops towards Xiakou?
Before Guan Yu can figure it out...
Zhou Cang said: "There is news from Jiaozhou. It is said that a few days ago, an envoy from Wei State appeared in Jiaozhou and met with Xie, the governor of the seven counties of Jiaozhou in Cangwu County. He was awarded the title of General of Hussars and the title of Marquis of Zhennan. …”
this…
Guan Yu could not help but chant: "General of Hussars, Marquis of Zhennan, what a great official title!"
With such an official title, it is really easy for people to misunderstand. Guan Yu will still trust his son Guan Lin's letter.
Then here comes the problem.
——"If Yunqi's letter is true, then if the Lu family's army can pass through the Jingzhou waterway without any obstruction, isn't this a bit false?"
After all, Guan Yu realized that sometimes he should not completely ignore his son's performance!
really.
Guan Yinping and Guan Xing asked for a fight one after another.
"My daughter invites five thousand crossbowmen to go to the coast to block Lu Xun's fleet——"
"Please fight 10,000 crossbowmen and 50 warships to repel this invading enemy——"
Seeing his second son and third daughter asking for a fight like this, Guan Yu felt a surge of emotion in his heart, but he still turned his head towards Guan Suo.
"Weizhi, go! My father will give you two thousand crossbowmen!"
ah…
Guan Suo didn't expect that he would be sent to...
He subconsciously felt that he... he was not good at it. He was too lacking in combat experience... This was not a training exercise. It seemed that any general in this camp was more qualified than him, right?
Guan Yu's words continued: "There is no need to completely block them, just shoot arrows along the way to kill their spirit!"
this…
Guan Suo was about to open his mouth, but Guan Xing took the lead and said, "What my father did was inappropriate. The child is not trying to compete with his fifth brother for merit. In fact... Now in the Xiangfan battlefield, after Xu Huang was defeated in the first battle, he was afraid of his father like a tiger, and he has been hanging up his exemption card for many days. …Not to mention five thousand, but ten thousand or fifteen thousand soldiers. My father was able to mobilize them, so why did he only give his fifth brother two thousand crossbowmen? Why didn’t he attack Lu Xun’s fleet along the way?”
"Yeah..." Guan Yinping was also puzzled, but her starting point was Jiangxia and Guan Lin. She hurriedly said: "Father, have you forgotten that Yunqi only has more than 10,000 troops in Jiangxia, but he has to resist nearly five The invasion of Wancao's army... Although Yunqi won the first battle and the morale of the three armies was high, if Na Yujin added the 30,000 Lu family troops, a total of more than 70,000 soldiers and horses... then how could Jiangxia defend it? Such a gap in military strength is no longer something that can be determined by strategy. ...It can be reversed! Even if Yu Jin’s army goes to attack the city by force, the fourth brother can’t defend it!”
Guan Xing and Guan Yinping blurted out their words...
Zhou Cang hurriedly asked for orders: "Fifth Young Master has never commanded archers, so I'm afraid he is not familiar with it. The stakes in this battle are very important, so let's let the last general go... Two thousand crossbowmen are enough."
hehe…
Hearing the words of Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Zhou Cang, Guan Yu smiled in his heart.
——"It's because Guan Suo is not good at commanding crossbowmen, so he was sent here. If he is really good at it, what's the point? Isn't it a fake show? That would ruin Yun Qi's plan!"
Thinking of this, with a "bang" sound, Guan Yu stood up and slapped the case. He shouted angrily: "Is Guan the leader here? Or are you the leader?"
this…
As this voice came out, the Guan Yu who had changed in the minds of Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo... he changed back again, as stubborn as ever, as arrogant as ever.
However, there is no Guan Lin here? Who dares to touch his tiger beard?
"Is there nothing to do? Everyone, please step aside——"
Guan Yu's voice was cold, and with this voice, everyone could only surrender...
And with Zhou Cang and his children leaving.
With a "whoop", Guan Yu let out a heavy breath and whispered: "Yun Qi, Yun Qi, it's not easy to be a father by cooperating with a brat like you -"
Thinking of this, Guan Yu couldn't help but close his eyes slightly and murmured in his heart:
——"Is this Lu Xun yours? It can't be that way!"
Suddenly, Guan Yu realized...
The arrival of Lu Xun and the Lu Jiajun was an extremely important winning point for the Jiangxia battlefield, and even for the Xiangfan battlefield and the Huainan battlefield.
A huge intelligence gap…
Such an opportunity to defeat the enemy is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity——
call…
Guan Yu couldn't help but exhale again and said with emotion:
"Haha, one day, Guan was reduced to assisting his son——"
…
…
Sifang Mountain near Anlu City.
Within a month, the nearby river was dredged and the river water was introduced into the pond, creating a medium-sized pool...
Next, within two days, more than a thousand farmers here were all moved to the city...replacing their mountain villages with houses in the city.
Next, these mountain villages suddenly transformed into a huge "refining workshop"...
Jiang Gan is the only person in charge here.
At this moment, he was sweating profusely. He grabbed the drawing drawn by Guan Lin in his hand and gave instructions from time to time. When he encountered someone who refused to change, he would directly kick him, "How many times have I told you, this flint
It needs to be filled with water and covered with water...the flint can only be moved out in a cool cold room!"
This is the first reminder.
The second time, he directly ordered someone to tie up the disobedient one, "You damn girl, are you going to kill me? Tie him up, take him up the mountain tomorrow, free up a basket of white phosphorus and put it under the sun, so that this kid can see it with his own eyes
Look how this white phosphorus burns!"
Jiang Qian is proud, but often proud people lack patience...
What's more, others don't know it, but he knows it very well. This flint is no joke. He dug it out and put it in the basket. In just one noon... he almost set a mountain on fire...
Jiang Gan will never forget that scene!
In a secret room not far from the refining workshop, fish oil is being boiled in several specially built iron tanks...
The fish they chose was the finless porpoise from the Yangtze River. Of course, in the Han Dynasty, people called it the lazy fish.
This fish produces a huge amount of fish oil...
When the fish oil is prepared, it is cooled, sent to the refinery, and then poured into egg shells...The small opening of the egg shell is finally sealed with soil.
After doing this, put the egg shells into the prepared clay pots one by one. Of course, each pot will not be filled. There will be some gaps left, covered with white phosphorus... When all these are done, the top will be sealed... so that
The entire clay pot becomes a completely sealed state.
This is the simplified version of the "burning tank" made by Guan Lin...it is at least 70% as effective as the full version.
The biggest problem with this "burning can" is that it ignites on the spot as soon as it is thrown out.
In other words, when the can is thrown, the oil and white phosphorus will be mixed together as the can and the egg shell break. If the temperature is high enough and touches the ignition point of the white phosphorus, it will ignite...
If the temperature is not high enough, you need to throw fire at the broken jars on the ground. As long as the fire can come into contact with the white phosphorus... or even slightly touch the edge... it will be enough to ignite the entire battlefield.
As for…
The complete version of the incendiary jar, which does not require ignition, requires the blessing of another tool - gunpowder!
The so-called - mononitrate, disulfide, and tertiary charcoal, supplemented by plant ash!
It is also poured into egg shells and sealed in a clay pot. Once the clay pot breaks, the oil and gunpowder in the egg shell break, and a flame will ignite. Coupled with the poisonous smoke and diffusion of white phosphorus, there will definitely be something on the battlefield in later generations.
The effect of the "infamous" incendiary bomb!
Of course, that is the next stage of the "burning tank"...an upgraded version.
But even...it was the current simple version, Jiang Gan was still sweating profusely. He had seen the power of white phosphorus, which made him even more frightened...
"How many cans have been completed?" Jiang Gan asked the clerk beside him.
"One thousand and five!"
After getting this answer, Jiang Gan raised his brows and smacked his lips, "It's been five days. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish these five thousand cans!"
"Mr. Jiang, if we don't stop day and night..." before the official could speak.
"Shut up!" Jiang Gan shouted to stop. He glared at the clerk and said, "If something goes wrong, can you take the responsibility?"
Well…
The clerk was speechless now, feeling that this suggestion made him feel lonely.
Jiang Gan suddenly thought of something, and immediately said: "Sifang Mountain does not need so many civil servants. From tomorrow on, everyone, including me, Jiang Gan, will go to work in the shops..."
"But that flint, I'll wait..." The clerk's tone was stumbling.
"If you can't make flint, go and refine fish oil..." Jiang Gan said harshly: "There are always capable people! Why, scholars have forgotten the Six Arts of the Gentleman and the art of the White House? I think you have all learned it in the gutter.
!”
Speaking of this, Jiang Gan became more energetic, "I, Jiang Gan, will be the first to take off this Confucian robe. Tomorrow, in this Sifang Mountain, there will only be men wearing civilian clothes, sweating profusely!"
Jiang Gan said this...
The civil servant was confused. He regretted it... What suggestions did he make?
It's so bad that I have to take off this "Confucian" gown and do this hard work...
Jiang Qian seemed to be in high spirits, so he took off his robe, casually put on a craftsman's robe, and shouted while walking to the fish oil refining workshop.
——"Heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to a man. He must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, tempting his heart and forbearance will benefit him beyond his ability."
——"This is what Mencius said. All civil servants, take off your Confucian robes for Mencius... go and strain their minds and muscles!"
There are about a few dozen civil servants on Sifang Mountain...
When the time came, they were stunned.
Similarly, when a coolie saw this scene and heard this sound, he felt three words inexplicably!
——Fair, fair, so damn fair!
Suddenly, everyone in Sifang Mountain was full of energy.
