Along the Han River line.

The Han army sailed at a speed of thousands of miles in a day, and the two huge wheels made of wooden stakes carried by the bottom of the ship were constantly rotating under the water.

The speed of the ships is also increasing day by day.

A search of the main ship.

Fu Wei is eight feet long, his burly and sturdy body stands tightly beside Guan Ping, he can't help but laugh at this moment, his eyes have been staring at the water, and only after half a sound can he smile and say: "Haha." ”

"Major General, your talent is really admired!"

After some praise, he immediately said: "It seems that this kind of car and ship is just a few wooden wheels installed on the bottom of the ship, and the speed will be increased by leaps and bounds, which is more than a step faster than that of ships and fighting ships." ”

As he spoke, he also sighed that the car and ship were indeed a great feat.

Fu Wei was proficient in water warfare, and he also knew that this vehicle and ship would have an extremely great advantage in water battles with the enemy in the future.

Merely.

He has been in the army for many years in Liu Biao's army, and Liu Biao's Jingxiang Sailor Division is also extremely strong, and there are countless large ships such as building ships and fighting ships, but there is a big gap compared with today's vehicles and ships.

The biggest gap is that the vehicle and ship are controlled by manpower, and even if they are swimming against the current current, the speed of the ship is still not greatly affected.

However, if you change to other ordinary boats, your speed will be severely limited when sailing against the current.

"Brother Fu is flat."

Hearing this, Guan Ping looked back and replied with a smile: "The fact that this car and ship can be successfully designed and equipped for military use is not just the work of Ping alone. ”

"Huh?"

Looking at Fu Wei's face with a few doubts, Guan Ping couldn't help but smile: "Haha." Over the past few years, Ping mainly has correspondence with the prime minister from time to time, and often confided my ideas about cars and ships and some production processes or understandings in letterheads. ”

"Strictly speaking, the main contributor to the advent of the car and ship should also be the prime minister, after all, I just put forward an idea."

Guan Ping said with a humble smile.

He didn't rush to show himself in front of the generals, it was purely unnecessary.

He can now rely on his own use of troops and his outstanding military achievements to establish a strong military prestige in the army.

As for the work of the car and the ship, it is dispensable......

Moreover, objectively speaking, it was possible to make the cars and ships that only gradually appeared in the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the original history hundreds of years in advance, which certainly had his ideas, but if it wasn't for Zhuge Liang's mastery of craftsmanship and continuous research, how could he have made them?

The two were having a good discussion, and Fu Wei on one side thought for a while, and couldn't help but say: "Young General, although we led the people to evacuate in advance this time, so that Cao Ren's army could not encircle and suppress our army, but since Cao Ren had already waved his army south, he would not have been so kind to strike and truce, and the Wei army must have been angered by our actions." ”

"Wei ...... Wei conjecture ......"

"Brother Fu wants to remind the general that the Wei army will fight with our army endlessly, right?"

"Hmm."

Seeing that Guan Ping had already guessed what he was thinking, Fu Wei also nodded solemnly.

"It's all right!"

Hearing this, Guan Ping waved his hand, smiled and expressed his disdain, looked at him with a suspicious expression, and pondered for a moment before explaining: "Brother Fu." I guess you don't know anything! ”

"Long before the retreat, Ping had already left a rear hand near Runan and Biyang, and it would play an extremely important role in the future, and I also sent the sentinel to return south in advance, presumably at this time, my father was already organizing the army and the local people to move to the rear, and began to get rid of the Wei army, right?"

"This ......"

After thinking for a while, Fu Wei's originally cloudy gaze seemed to suddenly brighten, and he said loudly: "Isn't the young general planning to give up the Jiangxia lands he has gained, so as to lure Wu and Wei to fight, and let the Wu army meet the hostile anger of the Wei army, and dilute the attention of our army, right?" ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that Guan Ping smiled and affirmed, he didn't worry a little and asked in a low voice: "It's just, with Sun Quan's cunning, will it really be as we wish?" ”

"Definitely."

It's just that when Fu Wei was still full of a trace of unconfidence, Guan Ping suddenly showed a resolute look on his face and replied firmly.

"This is a matter of geographical advantages, if our army gives up Nanxin, Yundu or even Shangchangcheng, then the water has already flowed north into the Yangtze River crossing, and it will suddenly open in front of Wu and Wei."

"If the Wu army captures it, it can use Xiakou as the foundation, give full play to the natural advantages of its own naval army, completely block the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and then land from Shiyang and Nanxin respectively to threaten the northern part of Jiangxia, instead of smashing Shiyang City like now but hindering Wenpin's insistence and being unable to conquer it for a long time."

"If our army gives up, it will be equivalent to giving Wu Jun a chance, and with that Sun Quan's mercenary character, he will never let go of this God-given opportunity."

The words fell.

Guan Ping glanced back at him, and then said, "Of course." On the contrary, if the Wei army seized these places, it would be able to reach the Wu army's naval division on the Yangtze River without allowing them to give full play to the advantages of water warfare, and it could also completely improve the defense line north of Jiangxia to control and defend the Huainan land. ”

"Such an important place does not seem to be important now, but because our army occupies it, all the courtiers in the Wei court know very well that if our army goes on a northern expedition, it will not be able to focus on the southeast, because the southeast is separated from Jiangdong, and even if our army's offensive is fierce, it may ultimately benefit Sun Quan."

"If the Northern Expedition, whether it is out of military significance or political intentions, the main direction will be the linkage of Jing and Shu, and it is the general strategy to go out of Qinling, Keguanzhong, Xiangfan, and Wanluo."

"Why is the Major General so sure that His Majesty will make such a national policy?"

"Because His Majesty is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, a descendant of the royal family, his particularity has created that our army's Northern Expedition must be military subordination to politics, the former Emperor Gaozu was from the Han Dynasty out of the Qinling Mountains swept the Guanzhong counties, and then pacified Shandong and other places, thus establishing the rule of the Han Dynasty, if at this moment Your Majesty can regain the Western Capital on the old road, it is tantamount to announcing to the world the legitimacy of His Majesty's revival of the Han Dynasty."

"Don't look at this legitimacy as just an illusory pretense, in fact, the significance is extremely important, not only to inspire the morale of the soldiers, but also to encourage the people of Shu and even the world to rekindle their enthusiasm for the Han Dynasty."

"From another point of view, if the linkage between Jing and Yi of our army goes smoothly, the western capital is taken in the west, and the eastern army is in Wanluo, then the Wei State is bound to be unstable and the foundation is shaken."

"Both are under threat, isn't this a double blow to the military and politics of the Wei State?"

"I speculate that when this war is over, the prime minister should present this national policy to His Majesty."

Guan Ping slowly analyzed.

Then he returned to the topic: "Since the southeastern regions are not too significant to our army, and they are extremely important to both Wu and Wei, why not take the overall situation into account for the small and the big?" ”

"Take the opportunity to provoke a fierce battle between Wu and Wei, and with the importance of this place, the war is bound to be protracted, so our army can stay out of the situation and take advantage of the situation, why not?"

After analyzing the seats, Fu Wei gradually realized, and at this moment he couldn't help but admire Guan Ping more and more.

Guan Ping, who is less than thirty years old, is meticulous, delicate, calm, and good at analyzing the overall situation.

Isn't it a blessing to have such an all-rounder?

"Thank you Major General for solving your doubts, and I have an epiphany."

After pondering for a moment, Fu Wei couldn't help but solemnly reply.

……

After talking for a long time, the two of them suddenly fell silent, and they both watched at a glance at the continuous reverberation of the surging river, emitting a stream-like echo.

The intoxicating sound of water made Guan Ping immersed.

"Alas! As soon as the battle began, although there was such a beautiful scenery to watch, I didn't have too much thought. ”

"I really hope that the world will be peaceful as soon as possible!"

Guan Ping muttered.
