Cui Yanyou didn't need to worry about guessing anymore. The next moment, Liang Chengcheng spontaneously gave him the answer. Hearing this answer, Yanyou murmured even more in his heart.
"Isn't it just Beifu soldiers? It's not like we haven't fought against each other in the past. Why should the general be so afraid?"
Regarding the burning of the warships, Cui Yanyou admitted that the Jin army did a good job and acted decisively and ruthlessly, causing considerable losses to the Qin army.
However, the Qin army's sharp weapons and invincible cavalry suffered almost no losses. With them, Xiangyang City was still stable.
If this is the case, why is Liang Cheng so frightened?
"You don't understand. Those Beifu soldiers are extraordinary. Their weapons are as sharp as iron and their horses are as fast as the wind. They are really powerful."
"If I hadn't met them, how could I have fled all the way from Jingling back to Xiangyang in embarrassment, and how could my brother have died in a foreign land."
For many things, it's okay not to mention them, but once you mention them, it's an insurmountable hurdle.
The disastrous defeat in Jingling City was such a hurdle that Liang Cheng could not overcome. Looking at his frightened look now, Yanyou really doubted that when he actually went to the battlefield, would Lao Liang be okay?
"Tell me, are those Beifu soldiers good at sorcery and able to escape through walls?"
Cui Yanyou was still thinking about how to encourage Lao Liang and tell him not to worry too much. When he heard this, he immediately became stupid.
What are these things?
"General Liang, how is this possible?"
"Have you really seen Beifu soldiers escape through walls?"
Liang Cheng was stunned: "That's not true."
"If this is the case, it means that the Beifu soldiers are just living people. They were able to take advantage of Jingling last time only because Jingling has been under the control of the Jin army for a long time and they were well prepared."
"It does not mean that our army is not capable enough. On the contrary, Xiangyang City has been under the control of our army for three years now. We are more fully prepared. It will not be easy for the Jin army to capture Xiangyang!"
Cui Yanyou, who had never formally fought against the Beifu soldiers so far, was full of confidence. However, the general Liang Cheng, who had actually fought with the Beifu soldiers, was frightened.
Such a subtle contrast is really hard to understand.
"General, a large amount of copper coins were found in the cabin. These soldiers were probably attacked by the Jin army while they were gambling."
This result is definitely not what Liang Cheng wants to hear.
If everything inside and outside Xiangyang City is like this, how can he explain to Fu Rui?
"Let's go up and have a look!"
Most of the fire had been extinguished, and Liang Cheng jumped onto the ship in one step. Although this place with a skeleton and ship planks could still be called a "ship."
However, there is only such a name left. They have all lost their combat capabilities and can no longer use it.
There are no open fires on the ship now, and Liang Cheng walks on the remaining deck without having to worry about any danger.
What was originally a huge three-story ship now has only a low plank. The window lattice and masts that were labored on with great effort and ingenuity have all collapsed, and not much of the skeleton is left.
Liang Cheng walked on the charred deck, his anger level rising again.
What a good thing, but it was so easily ruined by these bitches!
When he thought that so much money had been wasted, Liang Chenggong became furious and even wanted to pull up those soldiers who died tragically and beat their corpses again.
"General, please look, they should be gambling here."
The piles of copper coins were still in the same place, almost not moving, because the whole thing was very heavy, and the fleeing soldiers could not destroy their shape.
These two piles of copper coins remained almost as they were when the soldiers left them, except that the money was still there, but the owners of the money were dead.
"Look at this, the bet is quite big!" Cui Yanyou sighed when he saw this formation.
"General, please look, there are still remaining wine jars here. They must have been drinking and gambling at the same time."
The wine jar was broken into several pieces, and there was no drop of wine in it. However, their presence still allowed Liang Cheng to easily imagine the scene where a group of soldiers gathered to gamble and eat and drink.
"It's so lawless!"
"General Fu will not let them off lightly!"
"They are all dead, what else can be done to punish them."
I saw that they were betting so much and yet they were on duty, not shying away at all and showing no sense of responsibility at all.
Cui Yanyou was also furious, but these soldiers had now turned into cold corpses. He didn't understand why Liang Cheng would still sigh like this.
Liang Cheng did not respond. He stood with his hands behind his hands and continued to check the situation in the ruins. The soldier responsible for surveying the situation was the person who best understood the real situation in the cabin.
He followed Liang Cheng and explained carefully.
"According to my subordinates' observations, many people died here before they had time to rush out of the cabin."
"The Jin army probably used rockets to ignite the warships."
Speaking of this rocket, it’s really hard to find the actual one, but the arrow clusters are easy to find, that’s because they are made of iron.
The wooden arrow shafts of the arrow clusters and the cloth bags smeared with tung oil had long been swallowed up by the fire and turned into ashes.
After searching every corner of the ruins, the soldiers finally found a piece of cloth stained with tung oil, which happened to be right next to the arrow cluster.
The soldier who discovered this quickly presented the piece of cloth to Liang Cheng.
Liang Cheng frowned when he saw the dark appearance.
"No wonder the guards were blocked in the cabin before they had time to resist. It turns out this monster was used."
He picked up the piece of cloth with two fingers and handed it to Cui Yanyou.
"As I said, these Beifu soldiers have a lot of strange secrets and are not easy to deal with."
"Look, these rockets can shoot up to 200 steps away. In other words, these Jin troops have already set fire to the warships without even getting close to them."
"Jin people are really despicable and insidious!" Cui Yanyou gritted his teeth, hating him even more than Liang Cheng.
Liang Cheng was very surprised. If he remembered correctly, the Cui Yanyou in front of him should be a Han. I heard he belonged to a big family in the Central Plains.
I think that when Wang Jinglue (Wang Meng) was still alive, he proposed to Qin Lord Fu Jian to select more officials from the original big families in the Central Plains. Cui Yanyou should have entered the Qin court at that time.
Fu Jian once didn't understand Wang Jinglue's approach. Wang Jinglue himself came from a poor background. Since being discovered by Fu Jian, the cooperation between the monarch and his ministers has become invincible.
Fu Jian believed that a Di person could conquer the world even if he was born in a Di country. He never thought that family background, which the Han people valued, was very important.
If he had such thoughts, he would not reuse Wang Meng.
However, Wang Meng still insisted on his opinion for no other reason than that these aristocratic families native to the Central Plains had been making a living by serving as officials for generations since the late Han Dynasty.
Nowadays, although the Central Plains is in chaos, these large clans who insist on continuing to live in the Central Plains have not moved south, which shows that they are willing to cooperate with Di Qin.
Without cooperation, their family would not be able to survive.
These families are often very arrogant and will not express their true thoughts easily. They want to serve in the Di Qin court, or even hold great power.
But because of face, it is impossible to seek official positions from thousands of miles away, so Fu Jian's performance is very important. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, local affairs, large and small, have to rely on the maintenance of aristocratic families. If Fu Jian cannot provide support to these families,
If he continues to maintain the family's interests, there will be no peaceful life under his rule.
It is precisely because Wang Meng comes from the private sector that he has a deeper understanding of such an operating system.
Only then would he try his best to persuade Fu Jian, who had no personal preference for employees, to grant some official positions to the children of the aristocratic family so that they could have the opportunity to continue serving the imperial court.
Since Cui Yanyou came from a traditional Central Plains family, he should have been specially promoted by Wang Meng before he could join the army.
Therefore, it was really puzzling for Liang Cheng that such a middle-earth family with a strong foundation would hate the Jin army's victory so much.
According to his many years of experience in the Qin court, among the many foreign races conquered by Fu Jian, the Han people still have a strong sense of honor.
Looking to the south, the Jin court is still there, although it is lingering and confused, but as long as there is such a court, its appeal cannot be underestimated.
Just looking at these years, even though Fu Jian, the leader of Qin, has been actively encouraging farmers to cultivate mulberry trees and resume production, the number of Han people who defected to the south is still endless, almost never stopping for a moment.
Under the shadow of these people, Cui Yanyou's performance becomes even more suspicious.
Is there anyone who betrays his ancestors like this?
