First, Liu Zhang was touring the mountains and rivers here, but Cao Cao could only get the news that Liu Zhang led his troops to Jingzhou, and he didn't know what he was doing. This made Cao Cao a little worried, would Liu Zhang plan to attack him again? This made Cao Cao have to deploy a large number of troops in the south, but later news came out from Chang'an that Liu Zhang went to Jingzhou to play, which made Cao Cao scoff, this must be the fake news released to trap him.

Cao Cao stepped up the deployment of Liu Zhang, but Yuan Tan found the news of Yuan Shang and immediately sent an envoy to Wuhuan to ask for these two people, but it was a pity that the self-confidence at the moment exploded and killed Yuan Tan's messenger, which made Yuan Tan furious but there was no way. Later, he went to find Liu Bei, planning to send troops to Wuhuan. However, Zhuge Liang's suggestion to Liu Bei was to unite Wuhuan and did not let Liu Bei move troops. So much so that Liu Bei rejected Yuan Tan's union, which gave Yuan Tan and Liu Bei a gap......

If Yuan Shang can't be caught, it will make Yuan Tan very uneasy. Liu Bei's refusal made him very angry but there was no way. At present, Liu Zhang occupies Bingzhou and Youzhou, and already has the strength to compete with him. This made Yuan Tan very uneasy, and without the threat of Cao Cao, he already had an aversion to Liu Bei.

Then Yuan Tan sent an envoy, and he wanted Liu Zhang to send troops to help him. It's a pity that Liu Zhang went to Jingzhou to play, which made him look confused. What Yuan Tan is thinking, Liu Bei is very clear. To put it mildly, when Liu Bei came out to mix, Yuan Tan was still playing at home.

Yuan Tan knew that Liu Zhang was out playing, and naturally Liu Bei would also know. This shocked him. Shouldn't you actively prepare for Cao Cao, but still be in the mood to play? This made Liu Bei both helpless and sad, but also a little more despised.

But no matter what others do, Liu Zhang has been really comfortable in the past half a month. Every day, I just need to go around the workshop to see the progress of the steam engine, and then go to see how the cannonballs are improved. As for the rest of the time, I am either wandering in the mountains or sleeping lazily. Occasionally, of course, you have to have some fun in life, such as hehehe......

The shape of the steam engine was already there, and the cylinders seemed to look pretty good. Of course, all this is still in the experimental stage, and Liu Zhang only needs to listen to the daily report. As for the experiment of shells, it has to go far every day, and Liu Zhang is really a little worried about experimenting here.

After playing with a group of losers for more than half a month, Liu Zhang felt that he was about to fall. It is comfortable to eat and drink every day, but today the mortar has been effective. After preparing more than 200 rounds, Liu Zhang was ready to send troops directly. Sun Quan is not a man, and the persimmon is pinched softly. With a sharp weapon, instead of fighting Cao Cao first, find someone to try first.

The exterior looks a little less perfect, but the impact pin underneath is still fine. Just throw it in and you can fire. However, because of the size of the body, the power is not so amazing. At the very least, compared to the 50 to 60 mm 5.5x5.5 effect of later generations, this is a bit difficult to even the 3X3 range. However, the lethality of shrapnel is still very good, and Liu Zhang has seen the shrapnel shoot into the tree, straight into the trunk.

The key to the requirements of this kind of shell is the material, and other things are still minor problems. However, if you want to study up to 105 mm to 120 mm, it is not so easy to carry. At present, this is enough for Liu Zhang, and the rest is mass production. Of course, the power of hand-polishing is also good, but it can't require precision.

When I didn't think about accuracy, range, or power, I didn't have a problem making this in the era of pure hand-made. In Liu Zhang's view, the effect of deterrence is far greater than the power. In the future, with the development of metallurgy and science and technology, these things will be required step by step.

Ten mortars are ready, how do you look like simple water pipes? This thing is really ugly, but the power seems to be good: "Righteousness will go to prepare for the army tomorrow, and we will go to Chaisang." I felt that I couldn't help much, everything seemed to be okay with the steam engine, and Liu Zhang was happy to send troops to find Sun Quan's trouble.

Sun Quan is different from Cao Cao, this guy's ability is insufficient, but he has a characteristic, that is, whoever he believes will believe it very much. However, Liu Zhang knew that Sun Quan did not have many troops at all. Originally, Yuan Shu's troops, he should be able to accept a lot. The second is that they should have occupied the six counties of Yangzhou, but they only occupied three counties. This suppresses a lot in terms of strength......

After Wang Yi and the others stayed here for more than half a month, they were also sent back one after another. Liu Zhang sent more than half of his own soldiers over to avoid any problems on the way back. It's just that what gave Liu Zhang a headache was that when he went back, this group of girls pulled dozens of carriages from Jingzhou......

Every time I go out to fight, I bring a lot of things with me when I come back. But who did this group of girls learn from, and their ability to scavenge is no worse than their own. However, Liu Zhang went to fight Sun Quan this time, and it is estimated that he will bring back more things. After all, it's quite close to the sea, and there will be plenty of seafood......

When he returned to Xiangyang, Liu Zhang glanced at everyone and said, "The current war situation in the north is quite chaotic, but I like to be a little more chaotic." Don't get involved in the north for the time being, let them tear up. Secondly, it is ready to attack Yangzhou and develop Jiaozhou. "These two things are very important and can be said to be future development goals.

Fa Zheng came out and said: "The lord has to guard against Lejin and others in Jiujiang, but the combat effectiveness of those people on the river is very poor, and the lord can easily win Sun Quan's fleet Yangzhou." "Sun Ce is on the water, and Le Jin is on land, and the two of them are really fighting each other.

Liu Zhang nodded and said: "I heard that the Sun family guarded Jiangdong in the era, and there were really too many gate valve clans there, and it was still very troublesome to govern. But that is very important for my next things, and the occupation must be stable. "Liu Zhang sent Huang Quan to Yuzhang a few years ago, with the purpose of occupying Yangzhou one day and handing it over to him. This is a person who can be trusted, who can be trusted.

Fa Zheng said with a smile: "The lord just doesn't want to kill, if Sun Quan surrenders, the lord will send their Sun family to Chang'an." If you fight hard to the end, the lord will never be merciful. "Seeing that Han Sui, Gao Ding, and Zhang Lu didn't kill Liu Zhang, many people reasoned and killed it.

Liu Zhang changed his posture and said: "Let's take a look then, Sun Quan is actually a little arrogant, and it is estimated that he will not be so easily succumbed." "Sun Quan is a self-aware and somewhat arrogant person. Of course, Sun Quan's historical evaluation is still very high, but later Eastern Wu was too chaotic, and Sima's replacement of Cao Wei was really a bit arrogant.

However, Liu Zhang at this moment is definitely stronger than Cao Cao, but Sun Quan is not as strong as later generations, and he doesn't even have much territory. There is no natural danger, no strong soldiers, and they are attached to Cao Cao's men to survive. Even if he went to Cao Cao for help, Cao Cao would not come to his rescue. As long as Cao Cao's army dared to move, Liu Zhang immediately went to fight Xuchang. Cao Cao is the mascot now, so it's good to basically stay there.

Then Liu Zhang took a large amount of supplies and went to Chaisang, where there were already about 40,000 soldiers, although some of them were new soldiers, but there were really not many of them in ancient times. What's more, Sun Quan is not very powerful, so there is no need to bring his own troops stationed in Luoyang.

Passing through Changsha County, all the way to Chaisang. On the way, I met Huang Zu, who was already half of his age, and he was less majestic when he first saw him. After a few words of comfort, Liu Zhang went directly towards Chai Sang. Huang Zu is still good, in terms of combat ability, he is still very good.

The current Liu Zhang estimates that except for Cao Cao, who dares to stretch out his hand occasionally, others who dare to reach out to their inherent territory will be directly chopped off by Liu Zhang. When he arrived in the south, Liu Zhang once again experienced the heat here, and made a large number of shorts and short sleeves before coming, all of them were men, and there was no shame in changing them all into soldiers.

It feels really cool in shorts and short sleeves and slippers with slippers pulled on. After arriving in Chaisang, Liu Zhang met Gan Ning, and he seemed to be quite comfortable here. The wetlands of Poyang Lake are not polluted and have not been cut down too much. Everything here is still very good, and it is not too cool to practice soldiers every day and occasionally hunt game.

After getting off the boat, Liu Zhang arrived at the city of Chaisang. Gan Ning and Huang Quan were actually a little confused, I heard that the fight was very fierce in the north, why did Liu Zhang come here with people? But Liu Zhang brought so many things, shouldn't he be here to play?

"The war in the north is about to break out, why did you come to the south at this time?" Huang Quan is indeed worried, what if the north loses.

After pouring a few mouthfuls of water, Liu Zhang said: "There is no need to rush the war in the north, there is chaos there now." Let them fight on their own for a while, and I'll be going to join in then. As long as the defense doesn't let them attack me, I don't have a problem with whoever they hit. If you have this free time, let's beat Sun Quan to death first. By the time the north is almost dead, I've basically secured the south. When the time comes, no one can beat me, but I can attack Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the north at any angle. ”

The current situation is a bit Liu Bei and Cao Cao vaguely joined forces to attack Liu Zhang, if Liu Zhang is forcibly occupying the north, I am afraid that Liu Zhang will be surrounded and beaten by this group of people. When the time comes, it will really be on fire on all sides, and then there will really be some play. It's better to take a break early and let them play on their own. Liu Zhang also doesn't accept anyone's alliance anymore, especially Liu Daer and Cao Heimian, both of whom are bad guys. When you're almost done in the south, first beat the black face into a white face, and then beat the white face into a black face. It must have been a thrilling feeling, especially when these two people were slowly killed by themselves.

It doesn't matter if there is chaos in the north, Wuhuan will have a self-confidence swelling after Yuan Shang has been there. When the time comes, will Liu Bei raise tigers for trouble, or will he kill Wuhuan who is very close first? They have a lot of things, and Liu Zhang is quite worried about them...
