Sun Wu immediately entered the rhythm of the steady Northern Expedition.

The reason why it was "immediate" was half because the battle of Chibi was fought too easily, and the reception of Jingzhou did not encounter much resistance, although the military rations consumed in the process of confrontation across the river and the ammunition consumed during the battle on the river were very huge, but the physical strength and morale of the soldiers were in good condition, and they could continue to fight; The other half was frightened by Lyle's prediction, and they were reluctant to bombard each other with artillery in the later stage, hoping to capture a larger territory when they had an advantage in armaments, or even directly complete unification.

The reason why it is "steady" is that, on the one hand, considering that the number of Cao troops still has the upper hand, there is a land force of the Cao army in the First Battle of Chibi that did not participate at all, and there is a fear that something will happen if it goes deep into the hinterland; On the other hand, considering that the cannon has little effect in the encounter, and the replenishment of stone bullets and black powder is also a big problem, it can only be advanced step by step to ensure the supply line.

Cao Wei fell into a situation of defeat and retreat.

During the defense of the city, the city gate and the city wall on which it depended were destroyed by the large solid stone bullets fired by the cannons. When attacking the city, you have to charge against small solid stone bullets scattered all over the sky, rush to the bottom of the city wall, and be bombarded by explosive canisters thrown down from the city wall; The impact of the 'explosion' and 'loud noise' on the senses of the people of this era is too great, and the low morale is irreparable.

But as Lyle expected, Cao Wei was also looking for an opportunity to turn the tables while retreating, and sent a large number of meticulous workers to infiltrate Jiangdong to explore the secrets of the cannon, even if Sun Quan had taken ruthless and impersonal measures to prevent leaks, it was only a matter of time before he got a clue or a formula.

Liu Shu...... cough, I'm sorry, Liu Bei of this world line has nothing to do with Shudi, and like other princes, he waits and sees the soy sauce all the way.

Liu Bei's old friend chose to vote for Jiangdong as Jingzhou changed hands, and he could only take his troops to the poor and backward Jiaozhou to serve Shixie. But considering that Shi Xie will also vote for Sun Wu two years later, his trip is in vain.

- Actually, the above content has little to do with Lyle, knowing that [Sun Wu has a good momentum of development and has the spare strength to form a pirate group] is enough.

》》》》》》》

As for the things that have a lot to do with Lyle?

After the victory in the Battle of Chibi, the generals were rewarded for their merits, and Lyle, who restructured the incendiary bomb, got a credit: he was given [a fictitious position with no real power], which was considered to be out of the category of the second generation of officials; was given [yellow and white things], which was directly confiscated by Huang Yueying, and the actual disposable property was calculated in copper coins; Obtained the [Lord's Promise], Sun Quan promised to move the schedule of building a sea ship forward, and no longer fool the child, 'wait until you grow up'.

If there is a reward, there will be a punishment, and Lyle, who ran to the battlefield without saying a word, was arrested by Zhuge Liang as soon as he returned to Wu County, and was waited for by a round of family law after being brought home...... After being locked up at home for half a month, he was once again wandering around, absorbing knowledge from blacksmiths, shipwrights, sailors, and fishermen, and returning to his old way of life.

There is no way, unlike Boss Cao, who has many wives and concubines, extremely strong reproductive ability, and has twenty-five sons alone, Zhuge Liang only has one child, and no matter how serious he is, it is the same thing, can he still break the legs of the little rabbit cub and prevent him from dying?

Besides, Lyle is no ordinary child, and his seemingly playful actions are most likely heading in the right direction that is temporarily incomprehensible to others-

"Whew......! Call......! Just like now, Lyle is holding a tight square scarf in both hands, blowing into it vigorously, no matter how you look at it, it is a fool's act, but it is about to cause a great change in navigation technology.

Seeing her son, who was blowing and his face was flushed, Huang Yueying finally couldn't help but ask, "Lyle, what are you doing here?" ”

"Mother......" Lyle put down his scarf and breathed a sigh of relief before smiling, "I want to change the sails to see if I can make the boat go faster." ”

"Sails? Is there a problem now? Huang Yueying replied according to common sense.

"I can't say," Lyle has just entered this research topic, and he has not yet received the results, so he can only give such an answer, "Mother, can you take a look at it again?" ”

Lyle lifted the scarf again, this time with his hands up and down closer, and the scarf was no longer taut.

Take a deep breath and exhale hard.

The scarf bulged back.

At the end of the exhalation, the scarf returns to its original shape.

"See, do you see?" Lyle didn't wait for pranayama this time, and asked for the first time.

Huang Yueying frowned, she really didn't understand what was worth noting about the natural phenomenon that was not normal enough just now, "...... Where to look? ”

"The scarf is bulging! Doesn't it look like you've caught the wind? This is 100% false, but don't expect Lyle to say that 'pressure difference causes force,' "I can't say for sure with my hands, but I think it's faster to make a sail out of cloth that can bulge freely than it is now!" ”

Dahan uses a stiff sail with a large wooden skeleton on the sail, which can almost be seen as a large foldable slab. The advantage is that it is easy to operate, and the operation of lifting and closing the sail can be easily completed; The disadvantage is that the wind is poor and the speed is very slow.

There may have been a large group of people who have discovered the advantages of soft sails, but they never planned to sail far to sea, only need to travel short distances on rivers and rivers, and hard sails are more in line with their requirements, and gradually become all hard sail structures.

"Catch the wind...... Is it? Huang Yueying nodded slightly, feeling that her son's idea had the value of practical verification, and intended to provide support.

As for verifying and verifying, the 'spinnaker' that Lyle was pounded out of to be able to sail against the wind, it was already years later, and she couldn't predict it now.

"The materials used to make the sails may also need to be changed...... Not? Lyle was about to say something, but when he heard the sound of a carriage outside the door, he couldn't help but put down the square scarf in his hand for the time being and went out.

It was their own carriage.

Zhuge Liang, who looked a little unnatural, but couldn't tell what was wrong, stepped out of the carriage.

"Huh? Why did Dad come back so early today? "The father who was promoted after the Battle of Chibi is a busy man, and Lyle really hasn't seen the days when he came back early.

"The lord discussed something with me just now," Zhuge Liang habitually waved the feather fan, but soon realized that this action was inappropriate, and quickly stopped, "It has something to do with you." ”

"There's a ship along the coast, let me follow you out to sea to see it?" Lyle guessed.

"......" the corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth twitched, this son will not leave the sea for three sentences, maybe Sun Quan's decision is a good thing, "You are going to get married." ”

“？？？” Lyle tilted his head, thinking for a moment that he had misheard.

He's only ten years old this year, right?

Even if the minimum age for marriage in this era is very low, it will not be as low as ten years old to get married.

"Who's the bride?" Lyle asked subconsciously.

Zhuge Liang prompted: "It's someone you know." ”

"Uh...... Could it be Ami next door? "There aren't many girls of the same age that Lyle knows.

"If it's Ami, do you need the lord to speak in person?" Seeing the stupid appearance of his son, who has become more and more arrogant recently, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but smile, "It's the county lord." ”

“…… Well, how many years older is she? Lyle was dumbfounded.
