"Report!"

The scout pulled his long tongue and trotted all the way to the top of the yatang.

He was dusty and out of breath.

After going up to the yatang, he knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "Lord Qi, Louzi Mountain is a great victory." ”

Liu Chuang stopped talking to Bu Qi, "Louzi Mountain's victory? ”

"Last night, Wen Hou poured six forces into the river battalion and attacked the Karasuma camp in Louzi Mountain, and won a complete victory.

Today, Wen Hou has set up camp in Louzi Mountain, and his troops are stationed at the west foot of Louzi Mountain. He retreated to the eastern foot of Louzi Mountain, and stabilized his position according to Xiaoling River. ”

In normal times, such a good news will make Liu Chuang feel excited.

But now, when he heard the news of Louzishan's victory, Liu Chuang didn't feel excited at all, but felt a trace of bitterness. He looked at Bu Qi and saw that Bu Qi also smiled bitterly. Lu Bu's speed is really too fast, and it can be said that he is even the essence of 'his speed as the wind' in the art of riding and fighting. Liu Chuang had just sent Zhao Yun over on the front foot and conveyed his mind to Lu Bu, not wanting Lu Bu to win a big victory in Louzi Mountain.

The problem is that the pirate incident has made the situation in western Liaoning a little complicated all of a sudden.

Before he figured it out and completely eradicated that pirate, Lu Bu's great victory not only made Liu Chuang's forces more empty, but the pressure he was under was bound to become huge. Just imagine, those immigrants who came with Liu Chuang were a little panicked because of the pirates. Now that Liu Chuang and Karasuma are back at war, even if they win a big victory, they will feel uneasy and even panicked in their hearts.

"Otherwise, send someone to talk to Wen Hou and ask him to suspend the offensive?"

Liu Chuang closed his eyes, and said softly after a while: "Since the war has started, where are so many worries."

I didn't think it through. I never thought there would be pirates. Since I have entrusted the heavy responsibility to Wen Hou, I should give him my full support. Changing the order is the biggest mistake. If Wenhou truces the war, it will not only be useless. On the contrary, it will make people's hearts more confused.

Zishan, at this time, we must not mess with ourselves.

I've been tough for so long, so I'm going to be tougher. If you can get through this difficulty, you will be able to ...... the wind and rain after that."

The emptiness of troops is the biggest dilemma that Liu Chuang is facing now.

Now, he is almost at war on both sides, with an elite hand in his hands, and he is almost empty.

Now, there are less than 1,000 defenders, and there are only a few 100 people in the huge mansion.

If once the opponent finds himself empty. It is likely to result in a total loss...... What Liu Chuang is doing now. It's all about preparing for Liaodong. Now. The war plane had already begun to rotate, and Liu Chuang could not stop lightly no matter what.

"That. Do you want to send someone to ask Chun Yuqiong to mediate? ”

"No!"

Liu Chuang did not hesitate to refuse Bu Qi's request, and said in a deep voice: "The reason why Chun Yuqiong asked us to stop fighting before. It's because we don't know what we're talking about. Now, if we take the initiative to ask, our details will be exposed. You don't see what kind of hometown love Chun Yuqiong said to me, and he was also frightened by the momentum of Wen Hou before. If he knew about our situation, not only would he not help, but he might even fall into the ground. You must know that he came to Liaoxi this time to suppress us on the orders of Yuan Shao......"

Bu Qi sighed, and seemed to feel that things were getting a little troublesome.

After a moment's hesitation, he said softly, "So what should I do now?" ”

"Zishan, then I'll bother you to work harder, walk around, and be sure to stabilize the people's feelings.

Now that we've reached this point, we have to fight all over again and get through it. If God wants me to achieve great things, he will definitely help me. If the heavens don't want me to succeed, I will fight hard and fight my way out. Linyu will be handed over to me to sit in the town, you bring the soldiers and horses, and go for a walk...... As for the pirates, I'm sure Zhongda won't disappoint me. Just pirates, what can I do?

Yuan Xianyi thought that this would mess up my position, so he would underestimate me too much...... Hmph, wait, after I stabilize the situation, sooner or later I will want him to look good. ”

There is no evidence that this group of pirates is related to Yuan Xi.

But after thinking about it, Liu Chuang thinks that except for Yuan Xi, there will definitely be no one else to instruct.

As I said the day before yesterday, it is impossible for Gongsun Du to get into trouble at this time. He wished that Liu Chuang would fight to the death with the Karasuma people in Liaoxi, and he would be able to benefit from both defeats. If Liu Chuang is angered now and Liu Chuang enters Liaodong in advance, then there will inevitably be a game between the two sides. In the end, no matter who wins or loses, it will hurt the vitality and cheapen others.

Chen Qun, Chen Jiao and Xun Kuang were ordered to send an envoy to Liaodong to negotiate with Gongsun Du.

Gongsun Du naturally had no need, at this time, he came to provoke Liu Chuang......

Liu Chuang and Yuan Xi don't have any grievances, and the two haven't even met before. can think of the action of awarding Karasuma, Liu Chuang knew that this Yuan Xi was hostile to him. It's not that Liu Chuang offended Yuan Xi, but that Yuan Xi will use Liu Chuang to make a name in front of Yuan Shao.

Liu Chuang can understand Yuan Xi's thoughts, but it does not mean that he will forgive Yuan Xi.

If this pirate sneak attack was committed by Yuan Xi, then the hatred between Liu Chuang and Yuan Xi would be difficult to resolve......

Seeing that Liu Chuang's attitude was so resolute, Bu Qi stopped persuading.

"By the way, inform Bo Zheng and let him do his best to persuade Su Fuyan to make a statement."

Karasuma was powerful in western Liaoxi, and although Bandun suffered two defeats, his vitality was not damaged. If he slows down, then Lu Bu will have to bear tremendous pressure. Fortunately, Lu Bu now occupies the western foot of Louzi Mountain, which is equivalent to occupying a favorable terrain, which is enough to contain the forces of Badun. However, if Su Muyan can jump out and express his attitude, then Lu Bu's pressure will definitely be reduced.

The most important thing is that after Su Fuyan made a statement, Liu Chuang could transfer the old battalion of Sanshanling back to strengthen the forces of Linyu.

Civil, Military......

It may seem simple and actionable, but it's so complicated.

When Liu Chuang was in Qingzhou, although he was also facing great pressure, the situation at that time was far simpler than now.

Now, Liu Chuang is isolated and helpless, and the previous method of pulling and fighting while not being able to be used. When he was in Qingzhou, because of the relationship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Liu Chuang can be left and right, and after balancing the situation, he can develop political affairs with peace of mind. But now, all the things. It's all in one place.

Moreover, Liaoxi is different from Qingzhou, and the people of Qingzhou are determined.

But in the eastern Liaodong region, it is bitter cold and barbaric, and there are alien races entrenched for many years. The people are fierce.

People say that the elite soldiers in the world are all from Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Liangzhou......

These three places all belong to the bitter cold place, and they all suffer from foreign races, and the people are strong, far from being comparable to the rich places such as Qingzhou.

Occupy Liaodong, you can get elite soldiers.

But how to be stable in Liaodong is a huge problem.

And as time went by, Liu Chuang hoarded supplies in Liaodong. There will come a time when it will run out.

Once those supplies are exhausted. It is bound to lead to greater turmoil...... Before. Liu Chuang can not think about these. But now, Liu Chuang has to think about it seriously.

After dealing with a day's government affairs, Liu Chuang returned to the back house.

He sat under the porch. Look at the garden that has withered and close your eyes. Silent in thought.

Behind him, footsteps rang out.

A faint aroma hit, like an orchid and musk.

Immediately after, a pair of small hands rested on Liu Chuang's shoulders and kneaded gently.

Although Liu Chuang didn't see who it was, he guessed the identity of the person from the familiar body fragrance.

"Second sister, you only rushed back this morning, why don't you have a good rest?"

"The husband is in trouble, how can the concubine sleep peacefully?"

Liu Chuang turned around and saw Zhuge Ling's moving face, which came into view.

Zhuge Ling was originally in the lonely bamboo city to shoot rods and other equipment, and the attack on the Shijiutuo dock also made Zhuge Ling extremely nervous. Fortunately, Lone Bamboo City is not on the seaside, so even if the pirates land on the shore, they will not dare to attack. After all, Lonely Bamboo City is still guarded by Wei Yue.

But even so, Zheng Ren still urged Zhuge Ling to rush back to Linyu.

"Husband, the concubine went to see the dock yesterday."

"How's it going?"

"Very bad!" Zhuge Ling sighed and said softly: "Captain Xue's accident has made the dockyard craftsmen panic.

In the past, there was Captain Xue who could command, and although the dock was busy, it was orderly. Now that Captain Xue is not there, the dock is in a mess. Although Brother Zheng has already started to rebuild the dock, he is not familiar with it after all, so he doesn't know where to start. ”

"Second sister, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhuge Ling said softly: "The concubine went to Lonely Bamboo City this time and met someone. ”

"Oh?"

"This person's name is Ma Jun, the name is Deheng, and he is the Si Lifu Feng people.

He traveled to Yuzhou as a teenager, and when he heard that Master Zheng was compiling books in Nanshan Academy, he rushed to study.

It's just that he didn't have anyone to recommend, so he couldn't get started, so he helped Zuo Bo Zuo Ziyi make paper, and then Zuo Bo recommended him to worship under Huang Gongmen.

This person is ingenious, proficient in mechanical equipment, and can draw inferences from others.

This time, the concubine was in Guzhu City, and she had a lot of help from this person...... Moreover, he also made some improvements to the husband's curved plow, which can be more labor-saving. Huang Gong said that this person is quite talented, and instead of staying in Guzhu City, it is better to let him do some practical things.

When the concubine came back, Huang Gong also asked the concubine to recommend to her husband, saying that this person could take over the dock. ”

Ma Jun?

Who!

Liu Chuang is extremely unfamiliar with this name.

But he knew that Huang Chengyan would never recommend someone casually, since Huang Chengyan recommended that this Ma Jun could take over the dock, it means that this person does have something.

"By the way, this is a new model of a ship that he made himself."

Zhuge Ling handed a box to Liu Chuang, who opened it and took out a handmade zuò model of a sea ship from it, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The building ships of the Han Dynasty are very different from the ships of later generations.

Chief among them is the fact that the hull of the ship is square, like a pavilion floating on the water.

The model of the ship made by Ma Jun seems to be close to the shape of the ship of later generations. The shape of the hull of the ship has changed from the tradition of flat bottoms of sea boats, and adopts the shape of a pointed bottom, and the underside of the ship is sharpened like a blade, showing a V-shaped shape, which is almost close to that of later ships.

"It's ......"

Zhuge Ling hurriedly said: "Deheng believes that the sea ships we are building today are actually an improvement of the river sea boats.

But its characteristics are not separated from the characteristics of the river. Sailing in rivers may not be a big problem, but on the sea, there are many problems. He said that the impact of the waves is different from the impact of the water of the river, the building boat has a shallow draft, less load, and the hull is not strong enough. This is also the main reason why a third of General Xingba's sea ship was destroyed after several voyages......"

"So what do you think can be improved?"

At this time, Liu Chuang was already interested and asked with great curiosity.

Zhuge Ling said: "Deheng came up with a new hull structure, which is similar in shape to the model in the hand of the husband.

However, this idea is still just an idea, and it has not really been tested. Although the concubine has a little understanding of the art of mechanism building, the concubine does not understand what Deheng said. However, Huang Gong seems to understand and thinks that his design can be operated. ”

Keel structure!

In Liu Chuang's mind, a term flashed.

This keel structure is an epoch-making invention in the history of shipbuilding.

Most of the seagoing ships of later generations have also developed and improved on this basis. Liu Chuang has heard of such a term, but his understanding of the keel structure is not particularly clear, only know that the keel structure of the sea ship, in the Song Dynasty began to popularize, and European ships, in the early nineteenth century, began to use the keel structure of the sea, and promoted the development of the shipbuilding industry.

But this is the Eastern Han Dynasty!

This Ma Jun, how does he know the keel structure?

Could it be that this guy is also traversing?

Liu Chuang shook his head, and suddenly became interested in Ma Jun.

"Where is he now?"

Zhuge Ling was stunned, "Who?" ”

"Didn't Madame recommend this Ma Jun to take over the dockyard? I have to see him to know his depths. ”

When Zhuge Ling heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The concubine came back this time and brought him with her, so she arranged to rest in the post house." ”

"Very well, call him to me at once."

Liu Chuang's spirit suddenly lifted up, and he swept away the previous tiredness.

Zhuge Ling couldn't help but smile when he saw that he was angry.

"Since the husband wants to see him, the concubine will send someone to find him."

However, Zhuge Ling hesitated for a moment and said softly: "It's just that the husband has to be prepared, this Ma Jun is not good at words, and he doesn't know how to express himself."

To be honest, when I talked to him before, if it weren't for Huang Gong explaining to the concubine on the side, many words and sentences, even the concubine would not understand it. ”

Is there such a thing?

Liu Chuang couldn't help but feel tricky.

Xue Zhou's transformation is not very high, but he is good at expression and experience, so he can command the dock to run smoothly.

can listen to Zhuge Ling's statement, this Ma Jun has some characteristics of later generations of technical nerds. This kind of person is not good at words, and his skills are okay, but if he is allowed to take full control of the dockyard, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble. He is not good at expressing himself and is bound to face many communication problems. Once there is a misunderstanding, won't it become more and more confusing? If it is not done well, the dockyard will not only fail to resume production, but may even be completely paralyzed......

"The concubine has an idea, but I don't know if the husband may accept it."

"Second sister, it's okay for you to say it."

"Why don't you let Mr. Huang preside over this matter and let Ma Jun assist on the side.

In this way, Mr. Huang's prestige is enough to stabilize the situation, and Ma Jun can assist in the construction of the dockyard and make various improvements. ”

After hearing this, Liu Chuang couldn't help but nod secretly......
