Chapter 148: Liu Ye's Suggestion
"Aren't we a little too good?" After Sun Ce and Zhang Fei fought, five days had passed, and Liu Ye suddenly found everyone and asked.
"From the perspective of war, this is indeed the case......" Sun Ce thought thoughtfully.
"You can't say that, Bo Fu was injured alone with the enemy general before, and now it's just a period of recuperation." Zhou Yu said with interest, "After all, she is facing a fourth-level professional head-on, and the two sides have a draw. ”
If you can see the situation like the shrew fighting in the street before, it can be regarded as a military general's single-handedness......
But after all, isn't that what the 'words' thing actually uses?
Before Zhu Xin crossed, he saw someone consult a lawyer, saying that he was brave enough to chase a robber, but the robber had a heart attack and fell to the ground, and he should be held responsible. The lawyer replied with one sentence: "You were just jogging!" ”
"Yuan Shu's side is probably not very satisfied with such a result, after all, we haven't even attacked." Liu Ye expressed his concerns, "I think we should attack the city at least once!" ”
"How?" Zhou Yu immediately became interested, and everyone else also looked over.
"Siege engines!" Liu Ye said, "Rushing to the city, ladder trucks, well trucks and stone throwing trucks, these are made to advance into the past!" It can not only ensure the attack power, but also ensure the safety of the soldiers......"
"The problem is that we didn't bring these things......," Sun Ce said with some embarrassment.
"The long ladder and the ram can still be made somehow, something too complicated, it is estimated that there will be some problems." Lu Fan was also a little embarrassed, after all, he didn't plan to attack the city violently from the beginning, so he didn't prepare these things to occupy the place.
When needed, siege equipment that can be made from local materials on a temporary basis is probably good in this way.
On this basis, the cost performance of the long ladder and the ram is obviously the highest.
"I've been in contact with the people at the House of Everything!" Liu Ye smiled, "She said that she could help us find craftsmen, but they are not craftsmen who specialize in making siege equipment." How to build it, we need to guide, and even we give drawings. ”
"If the house can help find craftsmen, why can't we produce more drawings?" Sun Ce thought for a while and asked.
"The cost will be high...... Craftsmen were recruited during the war, but they cost three times the normal wage. Not to mention the war phase, the purchase of siege blueprints is also three times the price. In the final analysis, everyone has to do business. Lu Fan replied.
As the big steward of the entire military camp, it is estimated that she is the only one who will worry about money, food and materials.
"Very high?" Sun Ce didn't know much about these prices.
"Probably more than half of our reserves." Lu Fan said solemnly, and then looked at Qin Song, who nodded.
The reserve in the army is not only for this battle, but also for the follow-up of military maintenance and basic expenses. Under normal circumstances, it is possible to use two or three years of expenses, but it is not enough to spend a battle.
In fact, the house of all things also used this method to tell the princes of the world that they would not directly intervene in the struggle between the two forces. But they opened a house of everything, and someone came to the door, and if they didn't help, they smashed the signboard, so they gave this kind of compromise.
Of the triple price, one of them will be paid directly to the side being attacked.
It is precisely because of this article that the princes also turn a blind eye to the situation of Wanshiwu helping the enemy army.
By the way, the transportation of military rations and supplies does not count, after all, through this method, the defenders can know the news of the enemy's attack in advance.
However, if your army is surrounded and you run out of ammunition and food, then the house can sell and transport supplies to your barracks at three times the price until you have money to pay for it.
"It doesn't need that much, just two stone throwers, and then a ladder, it doesn't matter if there is a well car or not, but the city truck needs one. I've seen the drawings before, and in terms of craftsmen, the two of them are about the same. Liu Ye replied, "A carpenter and a blacksmith are almost the same, anyway, we have a summer time to prepare!" ”
Seeing that there are still a few days to enter the summer, the boycott is the inevitable result, before the autumn, there will be no war for the time being, more than a month, to build a few siege equipment, the problem is really not big.
The environment is not bad this year, there are woods and mountains everywhere, and there is naturally no shortage of wood. At most, it takes a few days to be exposed to the sun, which is the most time-consuming.
"We can also communicate with the business houses in the city and exchange twice the amount of wood for the wood we need." Liu Ye added.
In this way, after deducting the transportation costs, the firm can also make a lot of money, and there is no reason not to agree to this transaction. Anyway, in Liu Ye's opinion, a group of soldiers are here, just training and basic vigilance every day, it's really a waste!
"That is, we are going to attack the city?" Sun Ce only reacted now, and said that he was good at fishing?
".................." Everyone looked at Sun Ce silently, and when it came to this, haven't you reacted yet? Oh, and Zulang is not included in it, she is only responsible for eating melons.
"Anyway, you can't fight in the summer, so it's good to find something to do." Zhou Yu thought for a moment and looked at the other military advisors. Yes, not including Zhu Xin, after all, the latter has been cleverly hidden in the background panel, pretending not to exist.
Zhou Yu swore that this was the laziest and most unprofessional military advisor she had ever seen.
Usually in private, you may start talking endlessly. But when it came to the real discussion, I basically didn't see what he said, as if he wasn't here.
"Yes, it's not a big loss anyway." Lu Fan nodded, weighed it, and found that the expenses were not very large, "And it is also necessary, give Yuan Shu an explanation, it's not good to paddle too much." ”
"Anyway, to what extent has Guangling's side been fighting?" Huang Gai asked, after so long, he didn't seem to pay attention.
"According to the latest news, Mei Cheng and Qiao Rui are pressing and fighting, and that's how it is now." Zhou Yu replied, "But judging from the march map, the two seem to be a little over-aggressive. ”
"And it's about to arrive at Chen Yu's territory," Lu Fan added, .......
"It's going to be over!" Immediately, the two came to a conclusion in unison.
"Then when the time comes, can we go back?" Sun Ce asked with interest, it's not bad to come and travel, but you can't go anywhere outside the camp tent, it's really boring.
"If Chen Yu's army goes north, then we can only retreat, and we can't be flanked, right?" Zhou Yu replied.
There must also be a good excuse for retreating, and you can't retreat if you can't attack for a long time, right? In this case, if you want to retreat, you can only give an order from the rear to change generals, so that you can go.
At the beginning of the crusade against the Yellow Turban, Lu Zhi was replaced like this, and then let Dong Zhuo pass, the reason was that he couldn't attack for a long time. Of course, Xiaohuangmen Zuo Feng added oil and vinegar, saying that Guangzong was actually easy to capture, and Lu Zhi was a thief and self-respecting, which was the key.
"Then before Chen Yu goes north...... Sun Ce immediately made a decision, "Let's take it a little seriously!" ”
