Chapter 212: Private Banquet
"Bo Yuan's methods are really magical." After a while, Liu Bei stood on the enemy tower, such a high city wall, if you climb up, I am afraid it will take half an hour to say the least, but now it only takes tea to come up.
"Hey, brother, I'm afraid I don't know, Bo Yuan has installed this kind of cloud house in all of our mansions, but it's just not that big." Zhang Fei grinned, in the past few days, he and Zhang Bao's father and son have been playing with this cloud house, and it is almost broken.
"Actually, the principle is not difficult." Liu Yi shook his head and said: "It's like we use hanging baskets to carry things from the bottom of the city to the top, but now we are not using manpower, but with the help of the water of this Dongting Lake." ”
"Are you the water dragons you saw outside the city?" Guan Yuqi said.
"Exactly, those water dragons are the power hub of the entire city." Liu Yi said to Guan Yu with a smile: "In order to choose to place these eight water dragons, I studied it for a long time. ”
Liu Bei held the female wall with his hand, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, touched the female wall, looked at Liu Yi and said, "Boyuan, this is what you said about cement?" ”
Liu Yi nodded and said: "This city wall or the entire city is built with cement and masonry, and the lord does not have to worry about the sturdiness, it is difficult to shake the stone generator generally, but in order to avoid collapse, this city wall is solid, not a hollow city wall like Mocheng, and it is difficult to cause damage to the city wall even if it is a large siege vehicle." ”
Liu Bei groped the female wall, turned his head and beckoned to a personal guard, took a ring head knife from the hand of the personal guard, and slashed it against the female wall, but only left a white blade, the knife was produced in the previous Tian Workshop, sharp and strong, in the battle with Cao Jun, but it had an advantage, the general city wall, Liu Bei cut down with such a knife, at least he could cut a gap, but now he only left a white mark.
"It is indeed a fortified city!" Liu Bei returned the knife to the guards, groping for the female wall, not to mention anything else, just the strength of the city wall, coupled with the height, the general siege equipment, can not reach the edge of the city wall, if you want to storm the city gate, it is even more impossible, they have seen the power of the city gate before, not only automatically closes, but also the thickness of the city gate, more than a dozen people may not be able to push it.
A few people walked out of the enemy building, walked along the city wall, but saw that the city wall is extremely wide, the width alone, there are five zhang wide, it is here to line up, it is not too crowded at all, and above the city wall, there is a high platform every few zhang, about two zhang high, standing on it, the enemy's arrows may not be able to shoot up, there are pontoon bridges between each other to communicate, it is also a kind of shield, for the soldiers below to block the rain of arrows.
"Bo Yuan, what is this?" Zhuge Liang stood next to a corner tower, looking at a behemoth above the corner tower, the front end is a huge tree, but there are rows of holes on the giant tree, and the inside is faintly exposed to cold light, obviously a kind of city defense equipment, but with Zhuge Liang's knowledge, Mo said that he had seen it, and he had never even heard of it.
"Broken crossbow!" Liu Yi said with a smile: "This crossbow has thirty-six holes, one can shoot thirty-six crossbow arrows, and then equipped with a crossbow box, after shooting, it can be quickly replaced to continue shooting, this city wall is in the shape of gossip, that is to say, there are eight city walls, each side is equipped with nine broken formations, just the number of heaven and earth, if there is really a large army to attack, just these broken formations and anger, can make the enemy suffer heavy losses, but also greatly save manpower." ”
"If the city is defended in the ordinary way, it will take at least 20,000 men to defend the city, but if this thing is present, 10,000 soldiers and some people can cooperate with some people to manipulate these machinery and equipment, and the city can be defended." Zhang Fei smiled proudly.
He had personally tried the power of this wrath, and it was really a weapon to defend the city.
"This city wall not only has a broken battle, but also a stone machine, and a special bucket for transporting rolling wood and stones, which is very convenient for transporting materials, and if there is enough manpower to operate these mechanisms, if it is just to defend the city, six thousand people are enough." Liu Yi shook his head and smiled.
"Alas, it's a pity that the population of this city is only more than 10,000 now, and the soldiers are only 2,000." Zhang Fei said with some regret: "It's still that Cui Zhouping moved the county to here and brought the county soldiers over, otherwise there will be less." ”
Liu Bei nodded silently when he heard this, this new city is indeed very good, this city wall alone is like an iron bucket, but just like Zhang Fei said, no matter how good the city is, it has to be guarded by people, where is there so many people to supplement the city now?
Moreover, Liu Bei's current purpose is very clear, it is Yizhou, and the public security is the best location, and it is impossible to move the administrative office here.
Guan Yu frowned and looked at Liu Yi and said, "Bo Yuan wants to move people from Nanjun?" ”
"It doesn't have to be!" Liu Yi shook his head and said, "If you are fine, I have ordered my wife to prepare a family banquet at home, I wonder if the lord and you are willing to move?" Yi also wanted to discuss this matter with the lord, Kong Ming, and Shi Yuan. ”
Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, although this city is quite strong and strong, but the thought of not being able to use it makes him a little bored in his heart, but Liu Yi obviously has other ideas, nodded at the moment, and led everyone to leave the city wall in the cloud house, and went to his manor under the leadership of Liu Yi.
"This manor ......" Zhuge Liang looked around and said with a smile: "Bo Yuan was also built with a gossip array?" ”
"Not really." Zhang Fei said with a smile: "If people who don't know how to write military formations come in, it is not easy to get in." ”
"Actually, it's not that troublesome." Liu Yi pointed to the ground and said: "Follow the bluestone paved road, you can go directly to the main hall, and the fine sand paved is the lead to the martial arts courtyard. ”
Everyone looked at it, and although the road was messy, the materials were different.
Zhang Fei: "......"
No wonder my mother-in-law obviously doesn't understand the military formation, but she has never been lost, she is still smug because of this every day, now that she thinks about it, she is really panicked, glared at Liu Yi viciously, Zhang Fei silently closed her mouth and decided not to pay attention to him.
"I've seen Uncle Huang, I've seen the head of the family, the military advisors, and the generals." It was Deng who greeted everyone, and said to Liu Bei with a smile: "Mrs. Mi, Mrs. Guan, Mrs. Xiahou and Mrs. Huang are already in the back hall, and they will be entertained by Mrs. ”
"There's a sister-in-law." Liu Yi smiled and nodded: "Lord, the journey is tiring, and I just happened to have recently researched some new ways to eat, so I just happened to entertain you." ”
"Bo Yuan has a heart." Liu Bei smiled and nodded, and the group went straight into the main hall, took the cloud room, and went to the third floor, where Liu Yi's banquet hall was located, the hall was not big, the windows on all sides were opened, and the shelves were placed everywhere, and the burning carbon stone inside had no flame, and a famous maid was turning over a string of meat skewers with bamboo skewers on the grill, and from time to time some condiments were smeared on it. I couldn't help but swallow my saliva secretly.
"Bo Yuan, is this a barbecue?" Zhang Fei leaned in front of a grill, looked at the fragrant meat skewers, and looked at Liu Yi, who had already thrown away his decision to ignore Liu Yi just now.
"Exactly, I've made some improvements." Liu Yi nodded and said, barbecue is not a new invention, but the mainstream eating method in this era is cooking, barbecue at most with some salt, the taste is actually good, but it is not good, Liu Yi specially collected the condiments that can be found now, and made some attempts, although there is no cumin, but it is much more delicious than the barbecue meat with only salt.
The most important thing is that the grill is made by himself, which naturally has the effect of increasing the taste of the food, at least Liu Yi eats it, not much worse than in his previous life, of course, it would be better if he could have some cumin.
"Please." Liu Yi stretched out his hand to Liu Bei and welcomed Liu Bei into the main seat, and then invited everyone to sit down one after another, and asked people to bring the wine.
This banquet is a private banquet, they are all acquaintances with each other, but they are quite comfortable, and there is not so much entertainment.
"Bo Yuan, you haven't said the reason yet." Although he ate happily, Liu Bei did not forget his business and asked Liu Yi.
"Down, I'm also preparing for the worst!" Liu Yi nodded, and ordered someone to carry the sand table he had prepared.
The delicate sand table made the eyes of everyone present.
"I ran all over the counties before and made this sand table, please take a look." Liu Yi pointed to the map and said: "This is a new city, not only on the shore of Dongting Lake, water and land are connected, he will invade Yizhou, once Jiangdong comes to attack, Changsha must be taken first, once Jiangdong sends troops, it must be planned for a long time, with the troops of Changsha, it may be difficult to resist, but if they want to take advantage of the situation to capture the land of the four counties of Jingnan, then this new city will become a chokepoint, in terms of the logistics of grain and grass transportation routes, no matter what, can not get around the land of this new city, there is this city blocked, as long as the city is not broken, then Jiangdong will not be able to move an inch!" ”
Guan Yu looked at the sand table and frowned: "Why is Bo Yuan so sure that Jiangdong will attack?" ”
"If the lord can't take Yizhou, Jiangdong is a strong enemy, and he may not dare to turn against the lord, but if the lord takes Yizhou, he will also pasture the land of the two states, and then the strength and weakness will be reversed, if I am Sun Quan, if I can't take Jingzhou, then Cao Cao, Sun Quan and the lord of the three families, Sun Quan is the weakest party, Sun Quan is quite eloquent, how can he be willing to watch the lord come from behind?" Liu Yi looked at Guan Yu and said seriously: "Of course, this is the worst plan, the best result, or to marry Sun Quan, fight against Cao Cao, and make the worst plan in the future, it may not really be used, the power is prepared, once Jingnan is taken away, the lord is in Yizhou when he arrives, it is difficult to rescue in time, the land of Nanjun is lonely, and it is even sandwiched between Cao Cao and Sun Quan to suffer the enemy, then Jingzhou is difficult to protect!" ”
Liu Bei looked at the sand table, his eyes were a little complicated, in fact, even now, there has been some dirtiness between him and Jiangdong, but now Lu Su is the governor of Jiangdong, and he is strongly advocating to join Liu Kangcao, but within Jiangdong, the voice of wanting to kill Liu Bei has never stopped.
