Fang Shao strode back to the tent, originally planning to convene an urgent military meeting to discuss with Wei Yan and other important generals the plan he had come up with to break the enemy, but after thinking about it, he put the matter down first and summoned Jiang Wei alone.

Jiang Wei, who was patrolling the camp, heard that Pegasus immediately arrived.

"Boyo, you quickly gather the craftsmen and hurry up to make this thing according to the pattern, and you must get it out within two days." Fang Shao said and handed a piece of paper with a pattern to Jiang Wei, who was a servant of the wind and snow.

Jiang Wei took it and looked at it, couldn't help but look confused, and asked blankly, "Sir, what use do you want this thing for?" ”

"The plan to destroy the enemy depends on this." Fang Shao was a little proud, so he told Jiang Wei all about his plan.

Jiang Wei couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, and said excitedly: "Sir, this is really a brilliant plan, let him Cao Ying think about breaking his scalp, he would never have imagined that Mr. would use such a strange trick, sir, you are really ......."

Jiang Wei wanted to say something to compliment Fang Shao, but he suddenly found that there was no more "plump" word in the thesaurus in his mind to describe Fang Shao's unparalleled wisdom.

Fang Shaoxiao patted Jiang Wei's shoulder: "Okay, don't compliment me, this is just a day to die." You hurry up and get this thing out, so that I can use it to practice on the spot, so that the chief and the others can convince me of my plan. ”

"Don't worry, sir, I'll do it, it won't take two days, it will be built in one day."

Jiang Wei went away with excitement, as he said, he gathered craftsmen on the same day, rushed to make it according to the map at night, and built a physical object before dusk the next day.

In order to keep it secret, Fang Shao picked up a remote place in the name of patrolling the camp, gathered Wei Yan and other generals, and displayed his enemy-breaking weapon on the spot.

"It's all assembled, Beryo, and you can begin." Fang Shao didn't dismount, only whipped and ordered.

Jiang Wei then stepped forward and gave orders to a few soldiers who were already there.

All the generals were suspicious in their hearts, and they didn't know what strange tricks they had come up with this time.

As far as the eye can see, not far away, several soldiers are boiling a pot of hot soup with a fire, next to the pot rack is a half-human high utensil, covered with linen cloth to see the true face of it, and on a wooden stake erected more than a hundred steps away, a goat is tied.

Seeing such a shocking scene, everyone's suspicious faces couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

At this moment, Jiang Wei raised his hand and lifted the linen cloth, and in the snow and dust, a log was exposed, and the strange style immediately made the eyes of the generals shine, and no one knew what it was.

In fact, it was just a simple "water dragon", that is, an ancient firefighting device, but it had not yet been invented in this era.

Everyone's doubts made Fang Shao slightly proud, so he said loudly: "Boyo, let's show it to the big guy." ”

Jiang Wei first beckoned the soldiers to pour the boiling hot water into the water dragon, and then he rolled up his sleeves and personally slashed the knife, first aiming at the goat more than a hundred steps away, and persistently pushed the piston, but saw a stream of water shoot out, like a white rainbow, and hit the goat in a blink of an eye.

For example, today's cold ground is freezing, dripping into ice, which is boiling water, and it is already cold in mid-air, so it hits the goat, although the initial impact force only hurts the goat a few times, but in the next few seconds, the water freezes, and the poor goat freezes into a bottle of ice in a short time.

Watching this scene, all the generals were stunned and speechless, and they didn't understand what they meant for a while.

After a while, the clever Deng Ai exclaimed in surprise: "Da Sima, you are going to flood the Wei camp and freeze the enemy army!" ”

Deng Ai's words were right to Fang Shao's plan, and he smiled slightly: "For the general, how can you not know the time and place, and now you don't need to use this good cold day, wouldn't it be a waste." ”

At this time, the generals were completely sober, and finally understood what a clever plan Fang Shao was, all of which were excited and shocked.

Fang Shao's strategy is also simple, such as today's cold ground is frozen, dripping into ice, if this water dragon is built into hundreds of thousands of planes, the battlefield is overwhelming on the Wei army's array, within a moment, the Wei army will be frozen into popsicles, even if it is not frozen to death on the spot, it will be ice stiff, unable to fight again, in this case, it will not be effortless, it can be completed in one battle.

The generals were pleasantly surprised by Fang Shao's clever strategy, and some people remained sober, so Wang Jun was frowning and said: "Da Sima, although this plan is wonderful, although I see that the structure of this water spray is not very strange, it is not easy to make a large number of them, if you can't make a large number of them in a short period of time, and use this plan, it will be useless if the temperature rises soon." ”

Wang Jun's worries are actually one of Fang Shao's concerns, he now summoned all the generals to watch the demonstration, and also had the intention of asking everyone for advice, so he said: "What Shizhi said is extremely true, so I want to ask you to think about it together, but is there any good way to solve some things." ”

Before the words fell, Wei Yan smiled and said, "Great Sima, this matter is not difficult. Yecheng is close at hand, and some of them are craftsmen, so they just need to collect them all and rush to make them at night. ”

Wang Jun said: "The process of this water jet is not simple, even if you can recruit enough craftsmen, it is not easy to search for so many materials in the past, but I am afraid that it may not be able to be produced in time." ”

Wei Yan looked smug and said: "Don't worry, in my opinion, this water jet doesn't need to be so troublesome to build, we just need to cut down the big tree, hollow out the middle, and make a frame, as for this big tree, there are big pine trees and big cedar trees near Yecheng, which are excellent materials, and they can be made from local materials." ”

What Wei Yan said was indeed reasonable, Fang Shao was overjoyed, but suddenly thought of something: "Having said that, it's not easy to hollow out the heart of the big pine tree?" ”

Wei Yan laughed: "Da Sima, this matter is not difficult for me Wei Yan, have you forgotten what I did before following the first emperor?" ”

After he mentioned this, Fang Shao suddenly remembered that this Wei Yan was from a humble background, and before he took refuge in Liu Bei, he had worked as a craftsman, no wonder he was so confident, it turned out that he had bumped into his old profession.

Fang Shao suddenly realized, and said happily: "I almost forgot, Chief Wen, do you have any way?" ”

Wei Yan said unhurriedly: "Actually, it's very simple, first sawn the big wood into two halves, and then dig the middle of each half into a semicircle, polish it smooth, and then put the two halves together, so that the middle of the wood is a hollow round hole." When the two halves are put together, if you want to be elegant, use bamboo shoots, if it is rough work, you can nail it directly. ”

It turns out that there is such a practice, which is really unimaginable, and it really deserves to be Wei Yan.

Fang Shao then said: "Okay, according to Wen Chang's method, this matter will be handed over to Wen Chang to be supervised, I authorize you to take the power of craftsmen in any place in Hebei, and before the weather warms up, you must build me a thousand water cannons, and this matter needs to be kept secret, and you must not make Wei aware of it." ”

Wei Yan received the order, and immediately got busy, on the one hand, he ordered the recruitment of craftsmen in the Hebei area, and on the other hand, he sent soldiers to cut wood in the nearby forests, and at the same time borrowed woodworking tools such as axes, chisels, saws and planers from the surrounding people.

Ancient times are not better than modern times, sparse people are scarce after all, the environment has not been destroyed, the mountains near Hebei are full of primeval forests, some are towering trees, thousands of soldiers of the Han army dispatched, and cut back thousands of large trees in less than half a month. At the same time, the five or six hundred craftsmen who were requisitioned also rushed to work at night to build water cannons.

Wei Yan is a general who commands thousands of troops, and now he is leading 10,000 people to do something "simple" without throwing their heads and spilling blood, naturally not to mention, under his supervision, within 20 days, a thousand water cannons will be created.

At this time, it was the last nineteenth of the cold winter of Sanjiu, and a wave of cold waves hit, although there was no snow, but the temperature dropped to the lowest since the beginning of winter.

Everything was ready, the winter wind had arrived, and Fang Shao decided to start a war against Wei.

Since the beginning of winter, because many soldiers of the Han army are not accustomed to the cold, so they have been on the defensive of avoiding the door without fighting, and the Wei army has braved the cold several times to launch a forced attack, but they have been repelled by the Han army. At this moment, the Wei army is actually more war-seeking than the Han army.

Cao Ying knew that the Han country had a large land and a large number of troops, and if they survived this winter, the situation would turn to an unfavorable point when the temperature warmed up in the spring of the next year, so Cao Ying naturally wanted to crush the Han army before the beginning of spring.

However, the Han army's avoidance of fighting made Cao Ying very sad, just when he was thinking hard and worried about this matter, he unexpectedly received a battle post from Fang Shao's handwritten qi letter, and wanted to agree with him to have a decisive battle after three days.

The sudden change in the strategy of the Han army naturally surprised Cao Ying, but he soon thought that the Han army's eagerness to fight was because the war in Jingzhou on the southern front was tight, so it was eager to defeat him, and then return to the south to help, and even Jia Xu couldn't see any flaws in it.

That being the case, the Han army's request for war was of course in Cao Ying's hands, so he immediately replied and agreed to fight a decisive battle at the agreed date.

Three days later, the Han and Wei sides, nearly 200,000 troops out of the camp, formed countless military formations, stretched for dozens of miles between the battle lines, on the great plain of Hebei slowly pressed towards each other, the snow on the ground has not yet melted, although the north wind blows slightly, but the only wind is enough to make all the soldiers shiver cold.

A few hours later, the two dragons met on the wide plain snow, and they stopped advancing at the same time after a few hundred paces.

Everyone was so cold that their teeth were frustrated, and every small and crisp sound converged to form a very peculiar rhythm.

Fang Shao, who was on the horse, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw the yellow umbrella cover in the Wei army's formation moving with the wind, which was the mark where the Son of Heaven was.

"Cao Ying, after fighting for so many years, let this war end today."
