"Aren't we going to inform the Shi family in Hanoi?" A stunned boy from the Gan family didn't react and looked at Gan Yu and asked very formally.
"I have to come to visit you personally." Gan Yu said with a dark face. How could there be such an idiot in his family who would ask such a mentally retarded question? Unlike the Wang family in Lujiang, the Chen family in Jiujiang, the Zhou family in Brazil, and the Shi family
The Gan family is the one who truly specializes in astronomy among the Central Plains aristocratic families.
The three families in Lujiang, Jiujiang, and Brazil have been famous in this field for at least the past hundred years. The Molinggan family and the Hanoi Shi family are the ones who are really professional in this field. To put it too much, the Taishi in charge of the astronomical calendar under Jiuqing is the two of them.
It's open.
Except for some gods such as Sima Qian, Luo Xiahong, and Zhang Heng who are completely cheating, the celestial phenomena and calendar are basically messed up by these two families.
As for the three big bosses in front, the Sima family of Sima Cuo's lineage represented by Sima Qian was completely wiped out, and all the family education was at the advantage of the Yang family; Luo Xiahong's family was also wiped out, and all the family education was in the hands of the Brazilian Zhou family.
If you don't have Luo Xiahong's background in doing astronomical phenomena, I'm afraid you won't even be able to make it on the road.
The only family that still exists is the Zhang family in Nanyang, the descendants of Zhang Heng. Since Zhang Heng's family was bigger than the previous one, and the descendants couldn't inherit it, the Zhang family collectively turned to mechanics and heaven and earth energy science.
, astronomy and calendar, have been dropped and cannot be picked up again.
However, there is nothing that can be done about it. Zhang Heng's level is completely equivalent to that of a sage from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States era. To be honest, there has never been a single family in the entire Central Plains that has completely inherited all the inheritance of a sage. It is really because they cannot afford it.
.
Even the direct lineage of Xun Qing, such as the Xun family, did not completely inherit everything Xunzi had. Many of them were passed on to other people and became the family traditions of other families. After all, some people were too far ahead of their time.
Given the circumstances at that time, it was a bit delusional to carry on the legacy of the sages.
Naturally, the Zhang family was forced to give up part of Zhang Heng's inheritance, specializing in mechanics and energy science. As for astronomy and calendar, these can only be lost. Even if Zhang Heng left this part of the foundation, it can support a family.
The foundation, but it can only be lost.
As for the Gan family and the Shi family, they are considered the authorities of this era in terms of astronomy and astrology. By the way, the earliest astronomical works in the history of the world were produced by these two families. One is called "Tianwen" and the other is called "Astronomy".
His job is to study astronomical phenomena, and he often comes up with very weird things.
For example, in order to observe the comet cycle, generations of people have been studying it. Or, in order to determine an uncertain celestial phenomenon, several generations of people have just spent staring at a location.
This kind of crazy approach will basically not be used by anyone who is not a wealthy person or a professional enthusiast with a lot of free time.
However, the Shi family and the Gan family specialized in such people. It can be said that before these two families finished playing with astronomy and astrology because of typhoid fever, the two families basically represented the highest level of the earth at the same time, and they were different from each other. The earliest work on astronomy in the history of the world
Not one, but two because they are two families.
Because you came out, I came out, you studied and I studied, the progress of both sides was basically the same, and then the two families were hit by typhoid fever. Only then did Xichuan Astronomy represented by the Brazilian Zhou family, the Wang family of Lujiang, and the Chen family of Jiujiang.
The astrological superiority.
However, looking at the current situation, it should be impossible for typhoid fever to wipe out these two families as it did in the official history. Naturally, the two families will still engage in their own astronomy as before.
For this reason, the Gan family can send someone to notify the other three families with letters to discuss matters, but the Shi family must be invited by direct relatives of the Gan family. Even if they are a little further ahead than the Shi family due to some research, the Gan family knows it very well.
, the Shi family is at best unlucky not to pay attention to this direction, otherwise it would be a waste of money to verify the opponent's foundation.
Because of a verification, the Molinggan family brought together five families who really studied astronomy in the Central Plains and entered the era of buying colorless crystals to build large astronomical telescopes to verify astronomical phenomena, while Chen Xi silently watched these people doing things, and even
I'm still giving them some support secretly, but God knows how many years it will take for these people to produce results.
If you are unlucky, it will be just like the normal template, and there will be no progress for a whole fifteen hundred years. If you are lucky, you will encounter Newton's cheating, and he will explain everything that humans can explain at that time in three years.
, who knows about this kind of thing.
However, Chen Xi's main focus is not on this aspect. The late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms can be said to be the worst era for classics theory. The death of the school was not entirely due to the war. In fact, if we really want to investigate the cause, it was more due to typhoid fever. After all
The unlucky ones in war are the common people. As long as the real wealthy families don't seek death, they can just laugh and watch the storm. But typhoid fever doesn't care whether you are a wealthy family or an ordinary citizen.
As a result, some schools of thought were completely exterminated, the two great lords before astrology were completely wiped out, and even some theories that still existed before the Three Kingdoms were directly eradicated.
You must know that before Zhang Zhongjing solved the problem of typhoid fever, he was already a famous doctor. But when typhoid fever broke out in the Central Plains, Zhang Zhongjing's own record was that 78 out of 10 people in the Zhang family died, and almost all of them were wiped out.
Under this near-extinction mortality rate, with the sectarian view of ancient China, various academic schools and even certain ruling-level academic circles fell like wheat.
Now Chen Xi has Hua Tuo wiped out typhoid fever in advance. Although the population has still dropped a bit, in general, the major pre-Qin schools and schools have not fallen like wheat due to the sharp decline in population and sectarian views, and have become history.
dust.
What's more, Chen Xi gave hundreds of families the opportunity to overthrow the lower Confucian classes. Now each family seems to have absorbed the nutrients and began to grow like crazy. Although there is still a lot of knowledge monopolized in the hands of the major families, if you want to learn,
There is still a chance to get in touch with the bottom layer.
It's just basic knowledge. The higher the level of knowledge, the more talent is needed. Even if Chen Xi opened up some things, lower-class people can't learn them. Some things are even useless for ordinary people to learn.
You will have the idea that your time is completely wasted.
Because some knowledge is indeed of no real significance to the common people whose goal is to have enough food and clothing, even if Chen Xi opens it up, it will be meaningless. On the contrary, some aristocratic families who specialize in studying these things will be greatly interested.
In fact, just like mathematics, for most people, mathematics in elementary school and junior high school is enough. Even if they are prescribed advanced mathematics, probability theory, and topology, if they can choose not to take it, most people will
I will never learn it.
Therefore, Chen Xi discovered a fact with a headache. For the vast majority of people, they actually don't care much about knowledge. Although they really hope that their children can learn knowledge, once they find that the knowledge their children learn cannot fill their stomachs,
, their interest will plummet, even if they will support their children to continue learning.
On the contrary, for the children of aristocratic families who have no worries about food and clothing, they don't care at all whether the knowledge they have learned can be used to fill their stomachs. For them, knowledge is knowledge. There is no useless knowledge, only knowledge that has no use.
Knowledge.
So if Chen Xi now opens a more advanced gadget, basically the common people do not have the resources to support a person to study for such a long time, and on the other hand, they will either form a scholarly clan or take advantage of the aristocratic family. Chen Xi has nothing to do, and studying is also a problem.
Not a cheap investment.
However, it is obvious that for the current people, even the average Taishan people, who are the wealthiest, can hardly afford the so-called higher education. It is very helpless and very realistic.
When you put all your goals on filling your stomach, others have already placed their goals very far away. In this way, even if there is no gap in qualifications between the two parties, the effort required by the former to surpass the latter will be doubled.
increase.
Therefore, Chen Xi could only sigh when looking at the information on the results of education popularization collected in his hand. All he could do was to narrow the gap as much as possible. A family that was not completely rotten had a strong fighting ability.
terrible.
[The next thing to do is to continue to reduce the proportion of the family's capital in this country until it drops below half. I don't know if I can do it in my lifetime. I always feel it is very unrealistic.] Chen Xi silently said
Burn the results you have deduced from the current situation. After seeing some things, it is better not to leave any foundation behind.
When Chen Xi doubted whether he could do it, Guan Yu on the Huai River in Yuzhou had already completed the reorganization of his army. The elite army numbered up to 30,000 people. The leading Guan Yu headquarters and Guan Yu's sword masters had all been replaced by
The most elite reserve army.
After Guan Yu, whose own legion talent had reached its peak, expanded his legion talent in the way recorded in Han Xin's military book, he directly formed a stronger legion talent with those reserve elites who were originally his own formation.
Unlike Zhang Ren's method of merging legion talents with elite talents to create new effects, the cold and arrogant Guan Yu directly merged elite talents with legion talents that theoretically could not surpass elite talents, pushing his legion talents that had been stimulated to the limit.
Deepen!
All elites belonging to Guan Yu's formation, after their elite talents are directly blessed by Guan Yu's will, will be blessed to varying degrees according to the strength of Guan Yu's own will and the recognition of Guan Yu by his soldiers, which has the effect of deepening the elite talents.
To put it simply, once Erye's legion talent is turned on, it will be directly merged with the elite talent and will no longer be exposed. While the elite talent has the ability to deepen the quality of the legion, it also has the effect of strengthening the elite talent.
In other words, if the top exclusive elites led by other generals have the basic strength to defeat the three-talented army and the military soul, and even perform well enough to defeat the three-talented army and the military soul army, then Guan Yu's formation can really defeat the three-talented army.
Already.
The strengthening of quality and the deepening of elite talents are combined into one. Compared with the three talents, the most that is missing is a special effect. But really speaking, Guan Yu's absolute will is not equivalent to half of the idealistic effect. This degree is compared to
The three talents that don't add anything are already not inferior at all.
This same change also fed back to Guan Yu, making Guan Yu's aura more condensed, and making Guan Yu take a big step towards the calamity of his heart.
Just when Guan Yu was about to integrate and train his army again, the Xinying from Yecheng arrived immediately. Guan Yu jumped up, grabbed the Xinying in his hand, and untied the letter from the eagle's claws. As a bird of prey, the eagle
, trembling in front of Guan Yu, not daring to make the slightest move.
Guan Yu threw the letter eagle away casually, then stood in the sky and opened the letter. His eyes that were half closed suddenly opened, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he landed. Soon, a dull sound sounded in Guan Yu's camp in the north of Huai River.
The point will be the drum.
Before the two drums were over, all the military advisors, staff officers, and generals in Guan Yu's camp appeared in the camp. Everyone arrived running, and no one was late.
Even a prodigal like Guo Jia came to the tent and sat down to wait for Guan Yu's order after the general drum sounded. Even though he had already made a guess.
"All the officers and men listened to the order, broke out of camp, crossed the river and crossed Jingchu, and took the ancient road used by Zhou Gongjin to transport supplies to Central South!" Guan Yu's expression was still indifferent, but everyone felt the surging fighting spirit in Guan Yu. Nestled in the Central Plains, where could
It is even more tempting to open up and expand the territory.
"Here!" All the generals stood up and reported back. No one asked Guan Yu what happened. For all the civil and military personnel under Guan Yu, Guan Yu's orders did not require any unnecessary words, they were just carried out.
As the generals clasped their fists and left, starting to set up camp and reorganize the army, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Chen Chi and others also had the opportunity to ask questions.
"Yunchang, the situation in Central and South China..." Although Guo Jia didn't say those two words, the meaning was self-evident. This was also the result of being tossed by Li You, Jia Xu and others. It was a bad thing. His crow's mouth was the worst.
Please speak up.
"It's not good, the letter asking for help is not from the official, but since Zhang Su wrote it, it has explained the situation, and you guys can see how to solve this." Guan Yu handed the letter over, and Guo Jia reached out to catch it and opened it.
After looking at it, my eyebrows twitched involuntarily.
"Yuan Zhi, you should also take a look." Guo Jia frowned, and then handed the letter to Xu Shu, who was a little anxious. Xu Shu's face became extremely ugly after reading it, and he handed the letter to Chen Chi, and finally the whole
The faces of the civil servants in the camp turned bitter.
"Let's talk about it, what should we do with this legion that can strike beyond visual range?" Guan Yu went straight to the point. With his current legion, he would not be afraid of any opponent within the attack range.
But in the face of this situation where you can't see your opponent at all, even if you can't show your abilities, it's nonsense. And Guan Yu is facing this kind of nonsense situation now.
Xu Shu looked at Guo Jia, who was pressing his temples, and found that the other person had no intention of speaking. He looked around at the other people who also had troubled looks on their faces. He couldn't help but said with some embarrassment, "General, this is completely unexpected.
We have indeed never encountered this situation before, and there is no good way to do it in a hurry."
There was almost no emotion or anger on Guan Yu's Leng Ao expression, but everyone else felt some pressure inexplicably.
"Beyond visual range?" Seeing that the atmosphere in the camp was a bit solemn, Xu Shu couldn't help but want to divert his attention, but at this moment Guo Jia, who had not spoken before, finally spoke.
When Guan Yu heard Guo Jia's words, he immediately turned his attention to Guo Jia. The pressure on the others could not help but lighten a bit. Speaking of which, Guo Jia was the one who had cooperated with Guan Yu for the longest time. As for the opponent's ability,
Guan Yu also knows something about him, and he is a very dependent character.
"Actually, you don't need to be able to see this kind of thing." Guo Jia turned the cup in his hand and said slowly. Guan Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He saw the wine cup Guo Jia was turning in his hand and touched it from the side.
A water bag containing wine was thrown over.
"How did the opponent's bow and arrow shoot over? It's just a matter of how we shot over. Anyway, since the opponent can shoot so far and with such great power, it means that the time from shooting to hitting the target is probably only about ten seconds at most. This time cannot be enough for them.
Transferred." After Guo Jia finished a glass of wine, he said the answer happily.
Unfortunately, Guan Yu didn't understand what Guo Jia meant, and others didn't know what Guo Jia was talking about. Xu Shu did catch something, but like Fa Zheng's state at that time, he couldn't figure out what it was.
what.
"Actually, it's very simple. We really can't see where our opponents are, but the landing point, angle and direction of their arrows allow us to calculate the opponent's position. Of course, this kind of thing requires reference to experience, and it's not very accurate.
, but in fact we don’t need to be accurate." Guo Jia said completely indifferently.
"First calibrate the heavy crossbow. Let us determine the approximate angle and range of the heavy crossbow. After the opponent attacks, we can just counterattack. Although the crossbow is slow to wind, it takes ten to dozens of seconds.
But for the army, the position of the army will not change much in ten seconds or dozens of seconds." Guo Jia spread his hands and said calmly.
"This is a solution, but the hit rate of the crossbow machine is not high." Guan Yu frowned and felt relieved. Guo Jia's method was indeed not very good, but compared to when everyone else had no solution, this method was better.
It couldn't be better.
"Hit rate is of little significance to us. In fact, what we want more is not to be harassed by the opponent. The damage of that level of attack is indeed very high, but in terms of lethality, it is good to kill three thousand people in one wave.
In this way, even if we put the legion with dangerous dodge at the front, it would be a miracle that this kind of arrow rain, which is not known for its density, can kill hundreds of people." Guo Jia curled his lips disdainfully, this
There is no invincible thing in the world.
Such powerful arrows are indeed terrifying, but Zhang Su's request for help also stated that there were only two thousand arrows covering the entire battle line, and it was possible to dodge such a density of arrows.
To be precise, even for a fully formed dual-talented shield guard, it would be more of a loss than a gain to carry an arrow with such obvious damage.
On the contrary, the best way is to dodge such powerful but low-density arrows, but it is normal to say that the density of all arrows with a range beyond the visible range will not be too high.
For Guo Jia, if arrows are extremely powerful and few in number, it would be better to shoot them through a wall at once so that no one can hide from them. As long as they are powerful enough to kill people, arrows are sparse after all. For some special legions,
You can dodge it directly.
Some legions have built-in dangerous dodges and super-fast reactions. If your arrows are not dense enough, they can dodge them. The former does not need to be seen and can be dodged by feeling. The latter can basically dodge as long as they see it.
Although this kind of talent is relatively rare, it is not impossible!
Facing a legion with dangerous dodge talents, these large arrows, fired in waves of two thousand and covering the entire front, have plenty of places to hide. Maybe the shots are too scattered and the whole army successfully dodges them.
It's possible to open it.
Therefore, for Guo Jia, the significance of such a beyond-visual-range strike does not lie in damage at all, but in suppressing the morale of the target. Its significance lies in strategy, not in how many people can be killed. In this case, as long as you are prepared
, Guo Jia didn’t think it was very dangerous.
"You mean the other party uses this kind of long-range attack to attack the camp..." Guan Yu frowned, somewhat understanding what Guo Jia said. Thinking about it this way, as long as the layout is good, this ultra-long-range army on the battlefield is actually nothing.
So scary.
"Strike the camp, forget it, this way of using it is too stupid. The purpose of this legion is to save the situation, to break the stalemate, and to suppress the strategy. The timing of its use is very important. As for attacking the camp, it just looks beautiful."
Guo Jia shook his head and said. Xu Shu also fully reacted at this time and looked at Guo Jia with respect on his face.
"The opponent uses this legion to attack our camp. In fact, we can also use crossbows to attack the opponent's camp. Even if we can't see the opponent's camp, as long as our scouts determine the location, we can use projectiles to shoot the heavy crossbow bolts.
As for the deviation, it actually doesn’t matter whether the deviation is big or not for the camp, because the camp is very big." Xu Shu explained with admiration.
"Yes, that's it. This kind of thing is not difficult for us. It's a shame to waste some heavy crossbows. Just adjust the range a little bit. In the end, the fixed angle and direction are basically the same. And for the elite army, it may be
A few rounds, crossbow machine..." Guo Jia said disdainfully, "You shoot one round, I will shoot you ten rounds in return, do you believe it?"
"So that's it!" Guan Yu reacted completely, "So, this legion actually has more influence on the decisive battle?"
"..." Guo Jia knocked on the cup, Guan Yu closed his eyes, took out a water bag from under the cup and threw it to Guo Jia. Guo Jia drank it happily and said, "We all know this fact, and we will still
Give them a chance to do this? If we can even calculate the landing point, how can we fight them without touching the side of their legion?"
