Chapter 183: The Master of Tools

Xiao Qingyun gave her a detailed analysis: "In addition to strategy, what is more important is a momentum. For example, when you were besieged by Dayong in Xiangyang, the Northwest Army came to relieve the siege, and Yuwen Junping's people were busy fleeing first without much fighting. ”

"Are they really unable to beat it? I don't think so. When the Northwest Army passed, it was still poisoned, and it had no usual combat effectiveness at all, and it was not as numerous as Yuwen Junping's subordinates. If Yuwen Junping insists on entering Xiangyang and holding the whole city of Xiangyang hostage, we will also be invincible. ”

"But except for the main general, if everyone else is afraid, this battle will not be able to continue. So kindness is used to show kindness to the subordinates, and to the superiors, it is necessary to show a tough side and make the other person feel afraid. The same is true for governing the people, and we must always be hard at the top and soft at the bottom. ”

When Lan Jing'an heard this, he thought about it carefully, and also agreed with Brother Qingyun's statement: "It's because I didn't think about it before. ”

Xiao Qingyun saw the unbearable look in her eyes, and comforted her again: "Since these three people have joined the army of witch thieves, we can only treat them strongly. But if you really enter Yonghua City and control the entire situation, it's not that you can't consider another way to deal with it. ”

Lan Jing'an nodded and put the topic down. I wanted to ask Brother Qingyun's opinion on the establishment of the country, but before he could speak, he heard a commotion outside the tent.

When Bai Qing heard the news, he took the lead in going out to see what was going on. After a while, he came back and said to the three people with a smile: "It's Qiu Shaoze who is here." ”

When Lan Jing'an heard that Qiu Shaoze was coming, his heart settled down and stood up beautifully. smiled at Xiao Qingyun: "He's finally arrived." Brother Qingyun, go and see the birthday gift I gave you. With that, he was the first to go out of the camp.

Xiao Qingyun had already heard from Bi Luan that Lan Jing'an had asked Qiu Shaoze to set off in advance, just to escort the gifts. He was also very curious about what kind of gift made Ahri look more important than herself.

When Qiu Shaoze saw Xiao Qingyun come out, he first knelt down on one knee and saluted, and then said to Lan Jing'an with a guilty face: "It's because my subordinates are delayed and failed to arrive at the camp on time according to the instructions of the big secretary, and I ask the big secretary to punish him." ”

Lan Jing'an hurriedly asked Bi Luan to help him up, and waved his hand excitedly: "It's okay." I know your journey will not be easy, as long as you get there. Where is he? ”

Qiu Shaoze hurriedly ordered someone to bring the carriage, took a person out of the carriage, and put him on the four-wheeled car. Lan Jing'an smiled when he saw him: "Young Master Wen, I have been fortunate all the way. ”

I saw the weak boy sitting on the four-wheeled car, hugged his fists and said, "See the great priest." It's me who has dragged others down along the way, so please don't be surprised. ”

Xiao Qingyun didn't expect Ahri's excitement to be because of a thin man with a leg disease, and he was a little unhappy. But he wouldn't say it explicitly, he just called Lan Jing'an into the distance and asked her quietly: "Is he the birthday gift you gave me?" ”

Lan Jing'an lowered his voice and returned: "It's him." Don't look at his young age, and his legs are sick, and he is not good at walking. He's a rare master. Not only did he know how to build repeating artillery carts, but he even knew how to build repeaters. Look at the four-wheeled chariot he sits, which he commanded people to do. ”

Xiao Qingyun looked at the man's four-wheeled car carefully, it was really different, as long as he could control it alone, there was no need for others to push him away. Xiao Qingyun suddenly understood what Ahri meant, if such a person was recruited to strengthen the equipment of the cadre army, why worry about the hegemony? Xiao Qingyun gently squeezed Lan Jing'an's hand: "It's still my Ahri who is the most intimate." ”

Lan Jing'an's face turned red, he retracted his hand, took the lead in turning back, and solemnly introduced this weak man who was being looked at by everyone to Xiao Qingyun and others: "This is the son of Wen Liangwen, he is the best at making tools and drawings." ”

Wen Liang also quietly observed when everyone looked at him. Seeing Lan Jing'an and Xiao Qingyun coming back from a distance, they struggled to get Qiu Shaoze to help him up, knelt on the ground and saluted Xiao Qingyun: "Sin slave Wenliang see Generalissimo." ”

Xiao Qingyun knew that although there was no need to condescend to such a person, if he could make this person submit from the bottom of his heart, it would stimulate his talent even more. He walked over in person and helped Wen Liang up: "Wen Gongzi doesn't have to be polite. ”

Wen Liang didn't expect Xiao Qingyun to be so easy-going, and he could be so polite to a sinner like him, and there was a trace of wave on his face: "The sin slave is just a craftsman, and he can't be a son." I heard that the marshal was wise, but I hated that I couldn't join the cadre army as soon as possible. ”

Lan Jing'an knew that Wen Liang was not in good health, and when he saw a few words, his face was already flushed, so he asked Qiu Shaoze to take him to rest first. Then he went back to the Chinese military tent with Xiao Qingyun and others, and told them about Wenliang in detail.

Lan Jing'an cleared his throat and started from the original Xiangyang Guarding Battle: "In February, one of the reasons why we lost the east gate of Xiangyang was because Yuwen Junping had a cannon cart in his hand, and he attacked the city gate with a fierce attack, so that we couldn't even get out of the city gate. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Qingfeng had the most experience, and nodded again and again. Lan Jing'an gave a few more examples. It was in the later months of the Battle of Xiangfan that Yuwen Junping used the advantage of equipment to defeat the Qianjun.

Later, she talked about the scene when Wenliang was found by the cadres: "This Wenliang was found in the Fancheng Mansion when we invaded Fancheng, and he was locked in a courtyard alone, and the outside of the courtyard was locked. At that time, there was water, and if it hadn't been for our cadres to find him, he would have been drowned in the flood. ”

"When we found him, we saw the drawings of the repeating artillery cart on his bookcase, and we searched for a sketch of the repeater from him. Later, we also confirmed with other Dayong generals that this person was the secret weapon in the hands of Yuwen Junping. With him, Yuwen Junping was able to build so many powerful siege equipment, which made us suffer losses again and again. ”

"At that time, I saw that his drawing of the repeater was not complete, and it was obvious that he was afraid that others would steal it, so he deliberately refused to finish it. And we searched all the tents in Fancheng and Dayong, but we didn't see the actual crossbow. For some reason, he didn't dedicate the drawings of the repeater to Yuwen Junping, which can be regarded as allowing Xiangyang to escape. ”

"I've talked to this guy many times since then, and he's very talented in his own right, and he has his own unique views on armor making in addition to tools. I haven't tried his methods yet, but I don't think this man should be underestimated. ”

"Maybe Yuwen Junping also knew how powerful this person was, so he deliberately locked him up alone and didn't allow him to contact outsiders. Although this person has a very good mind, his body is extremely poor, in addition to his bad legs and feet, and he also has the weakness of beating his mother's womb. ”

"When he was in the city of Fancheng, he was frightened and had an old illness, so I couldn't send him right away. Instead, he asked Jiang Xianlin to condition him, and then asked Qiu Shaoze to carefully escort him over. I'm afraid that someone will find out that we have this man, and rob him on the way. ”
