Chapter 51: The Book of War

Outside the examination city, Chen Qingzhi stared blankly at the rippling water, and for a moment, he only felt dizzy; As soon as he turned around, he saw that all the people in the department were sad, and he was even more angry, and he was unhappy for a while, so he shouted angrily: "Come, come, come!" When you speak one after the other, everyone will have to give advice, and no one will be allowed to hide it. This so-called ... Brainstorming is also. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and a few of them were already scratching their ears and cheeks.

Clumsy? Chen Yuanjun can't laugh? What can I hide in my belly? If I had a good plan, I would have said it a long time ago, I just wanted to hold it back, and I couldn't hold it back.

Brainstorming? Who doesn't know, just a few of me add up, and it's not as good as you Chen Yuanjun. Obviously, you Chen Yuanjun have no idea by yourself, so if you rely on me and wait, what is the use?

It's just that the main official's words have been spoken, and the big guys are always difficult to argue clearly, so they racked their brains one by one to "make suggestions".

It's just some ridiculous ideas, and every time he doesn't say half of it, he asks Chen Qingzhi to interrupt sharply, and even scolds a bloody dog.

When it was Song Jingxiu's turn, he seemed to have a plan, and he opened his mouth to come: "It's difficult to get into the city for a while, why don't you go around the city and go to Luoyang?" ”

Chen Qingzhi sighed, shook his head and said: "Behind the city, before Luoyang, there are still Daliang, Xingyang, and Tiger Prison... Kaocheng is already like this, just imagine those big cities, which one can be easy to with? If the move forward is unfavorable, it will be attacked from both sides. No matter how good our army is, in the end, there are few people, and we must win every battle, so as to shock people's hearts. If you encounter some difficulties, you will show cowardice, not only will your own morale be damaged, but also let the Wei people explore the truth, then it will be a big deal. ”

Song Jingxiu retreated.

The next turn was Yu Tianshu, obviously unprepared, and after a long time, a sentence came out: "The big river is not far away, why not attract the Yellow River to irrigate the city?" ”

"Fill it!" Chen Qingzhi was angry: "Just because I poured water once when I hit Shouyang, every time I encounter Jiancheng, I always have to talk about Guancheng, Vortex Yang is already like this, and when I get to Kaocheng, it is still like this!" You don't want to think about it, the terrain of this test city is extremely high, and the water around the city is also above the hills, if there is a hanging river, Hugh said that it is almost impossible to dig through the canal, so it really attracts you the water of the Yellow River, and how to pour it into the city? ”

Yu Tian was stunned, and his face swelled into a monkey's ass.

Pei Guo was beside him, and couldn't help but sigh: "I have always only heard that the tide rises and the boat rises, but I don't want this test city to be chic, and it is actually a trend of 'the water rises and the city is high'." Viewed from a distance, it is like floating water to build a fortress, drifting and moving... ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly froze, as if he thought of something, and muttered incessantly: "Floating water to build a fortress, drifting and swimming... Floating water to build a fortress... Floating barricades? He suddenly shouted, "Floating base! Right! It's a floating barricade! There you have it, here you have it! ”

Everyone didn't know why, they all looked at Pei Guo in a daze, and saw him dancing with his hands, and even arched his hand to Chen Qingzhi and said: "Pei Guo seems to have a plan, but he can break the test city." It's just that there are still a lot of ambiguities in my heart at the moment, and I still need to go back to the camp to find a military certificate to corroborate. ”

When Chen Qingzhi heard the word "floating base", although he didn't understand it very well, he already thought about it, and knew that Pei Guo had never been a babbling character, so he immediately nodded: "Go!" Let's go back together, and take a look at Xiaokuan's military book! ”

The rest of the people applauded one after another, especially those who were not yet named by Chen Qingzhi, and secretly called "luck". So the group hurriedly returned to the camp, Pei Guo went into his account, and took the book out in a moment.

The book of soldiers that Pei Guo said is naturally his Pei family's "Pei Shuye's Experience in Using Soldiers". Pei Guo has been familiar with this book since he was a child, although it is not word-for-word, he can also be said to know it well. When he read the phrase "floating water to build a fortress", he suddenly remembered that there was the word "floating barrier" in the book, and he exclaimed.

When the book was opened, the pages were yellow, and the handwriting seemed to be scribbled, but the silver hook and iron scratched through the back of the paper, faintly, there was a sense of slaughter. Chen Qingzhi only glanced at it, his eyes were full of light, and he said: "I don't want to see Shuye's military book today, fortunately, fortunately." ”

Pei Guo turned to a page, and the word "floating base" was written on it, and there were two notes under it, one said: "The city is surrounded by water, and the water is wide"; The second said: "Rammed earth as the base, covered wood as the bottom, up the tall building, Juras ship also."

When Pei Guo first read this section, he only saw the word "floating base", plus a simple two-sentence commentary, and there was no other word, let alone a legend. Pei Guo is in Wuchuan again, and he rarely sees rivers and rivers, so he really doesn't know where he is, and no one around him asks, so he has to ignore this festival. Fortunately, Pei Guo's memory is not bad, and he always remembers the word "floating base", and at this time, when he saw the sentence "The city is surrounded by water, and the water is wide", he was already cheering: "Haha, I don't want to be recorded by Shuye Gong's Art of War, which is just in line with the state of the city." ”

Chen Qingzhi was surprised and delighted, and took the book from Pei Guo's hand, his hands were trembling. It's just a few words, but he is holding a treasure and can't stop watching it up and down.

With a stick of incense, Chen Qingzhi closed the book, his eyes lit up: "God help me!" If this floating barrier is completed, the test city is at your fingertips! ”

Seeing that many people were still confused, Chen Qingyi smiled and explained a little.

The floating fortress, in the literal sense, is naturally a fortress floating on the water. Rammed earth as the base, which is to maintain the center of gravity at the bottom and not overturn; Covering the wood as the bottom can make the floating barrier float on the water; Up the tall building, if it has to be the same height as the city wall, ten thousand arrows in the base can be fired together, and the city head can be easily suppressed, and then the city can be hung with the flying bridge on the top of the base, then thousands of troops and horses are like walking on the ground, and one shot can be killed into the city.

Just as Pei Shuye said in the book, it is possible to understand this floating barrier as a simplified version of the building ship, which has the condescending advantage of the building ship, and is ready for both offense and defense, and does not have the hard work of building a big ship, and the rammed earth is completed. Floating water to build a fortress to deal with this wide water on all sides of the city, it can be called "the right medicine".

After listening to this, Pei Guo secretly praised it: "Chen Yuanjun is really a master of the art of war, touching the class, just relying on the words in this book, after a little thought, he has already understood the mystery." ”

Yang Zhong couldn't help but say: "With such a sharp weapon, why don't you see other military books?" If it weren't for the fact that Shuye Gong's book was recorded, or if his filial piety was poorly remembered, wouldn't he have to take this test city and couldn't think about it? Yang Zhong boasted that he was also familiar with military books, and what he saw in his life did not know that there was a "floating base" in this world.

Chen Qingzhi was in a good mood, changed his previous impatience, and then explained: "Although the floating barrier is good, it is a pity that it is rarely used. Imagine, among the cities in the world, there are no moats in the small cities and small bases, and although there are moats in the big cities, there are a few like the test cities, and the water is wide? If there is no wide water, how can we build a huge floating barrier and float in the water? After a pause, he sighed: "In the end, Uncle Ye is well-informed, and even has some knowledge of this floating base, but it has helped me wait for a great favor." From the perspective of common sense, since this floating fortress is rarely useful, it is normal that there is no record in ordinary military books. ”

Everyone suddenly realized and nodded. Yang Zhong was still not convinced, and said: "Not really. If you want me to say, this floating fortress is always useful. ”

"Oh?" Chen Qingzhi was full of interest: "You can tell everyone to listen to it." ”

Yang Zhong continued: "I heard that the east and north sides of Xiangyang City were built on top of the water, and I thought it was dangerous. The water is wide, far beyond the city, if you get a floating fortress, wouldn't it just come in handy? Thinking that Xiangyang is known as the strongest city in the world, since today's floating fortress was born, hehe, you have to be careful in the future. After speaking, he shook his head and was proud.

"Draining water?" Chen Qingzhi smiled dumbly: "The water is far more than broad, it is turbulent and abnormal. This floating barrier has no rudder oars, and it can be of great use if it is placed on the still water outside the city, and if it is placed in the water, I am afraid that when it is out of the water, it will already go down the river, or even overturn in the water, who would dare to use it? ”

Yang Zhong was dumbfounded and speechless.

Pei Guo next to him couldn't hold back, and blurted out: "The big river, just drive the boat into it, why bother to use this floating barrier?" ”

Yang Zhong's face was red, and he fled.
