Chapter 34: The Hook and Sickle
In Changsha, after Sun Jian sent away Kuailiang Kuaiyue of the Kuai family and Cai Mao away, today, Pang Degong and other Jingxiang celebrities were also sent out.
Pang Degong is a chicken thief enough, and before leaving, he didn't say a word about Sun Quan's enlightenment, but agreed that on the day when Yuelu Academy was completed, he must be notified in advance, he invited the world, Sun Jian understood that this guy was waiting, and it was not only Yuelu Academy that was waiting, but also the result of the battle against Dong.
If Sun Jian returns with a big victory in this battle, then Pang Degong will naturally take advantage of the victory to add icing on the cake and enlighten Sun Quan; Otherwise, it's just empty words. How many people in this world will give charcoal in the snow?
When there were no outsiders in Changsha, Sun Jian immediately led the whole battalion of soldiers to the top of the city, and began to reinforce the Changsha city wall day and night.
"Ce'er, over there in Guiyang and Lingling, have you sent cement and red bricks over?"
Sun Jian was shirtless, working with the soldiers under the leadership of the mason, this scene was no surprise to the soldiers in Sun Jian's camp, if you want to be an official here, you must take the lead, otherwise the soldiers will not obey you.
"It was sent down the river last night, and my son specially collected all the fishing boats along the river in advance, and told the people that the grain was used to deduct the silver money for this delivery."
Sun Jian nodded, here a spade shovel to send mud out, over there saw the sergeants layer by layer of the city wall high, only one morning, the city wall is one zhang higher than the original, if this is reinforced, Changsha will be a strong city in the future, with a ladder can not reach the top.
"Demolish the castle!"
Zu Mao shouted, the original Changsha city tower was knocked down, fell in the moat, the city tower can wait for the city wall to be built again, and now the task is to increase the height and reinforcement.
Rumble.
There was a loud bang, the moat was smashed out of a one-person-high splash, and the people were holding their arms next to them to watch the excitement, who didn't know what kind of demon Taishou was doing.
One day, as soon as the sky was dark, a city wall of Changsha City rose from the ground, and many soldiers should water and water, and they should continue to thicken from the inside, and they were very busy.
"My lord."
Not far away, a fast horse galloped and reached the city, the man turned over and dismounted and shouted: "Lord, Jingzhou Mu Wang Rui has agreed!" ”
Zu Maoda poked his head out of the cement battlements that had not yet dried, and asked, "What did you say!" ”
Sun Jian also asked, "Agreed!" ”
"Agreed, when the subordinates returned, the ordnance had already been loaded, and if they went downstream, they would arrive in Changsha in a few days."
On the city wall, Sun Jian and Zu Mao looked at each other and said in unison: "Count this kid smart." ”
Wang Rui sent the ordnance, they have no excuse to raise troops, and the idea of taking Jingzhou before asking Dong must be dispelled, otherwise, when they arrive in the Central Plains, those heroes open their mouths and ask, how do you answer? Except for the sentence 'Wang Rui insulted each other, he couldn't bear it, and he was killed', there was nothing to say. The point is, doesn't this answer seem stingy?
While Sun Jian was worried, Zu Mao shouted repeatedly: "Go back to the barracks to rest, come and go for two thousand miles, you are tired to death, you don't have to participate in the work of these days, you can raise it with peace of mind." ”
"No."
The messenger retreated, and Zu Mao came to Sun Jian's side: "Why did he agree?" ”
"I also wonder, these things have to be the half-year tax revenue of the other four counties in Jingzhou, right?"
Zu Mao shook his head: "It will take a year." ”
The war is coming, the ordnance has skyrocketed, the price of pig iron in the blacksmith shop has doubled, and the hoe can make the people feel distressed.
The trick failed, which made Sun Jian very unhappy, he threw the tool in his hand to the side, and shouted while it was dark: "Sons, it's dark, take it, and talk about it tomorrow." He turned his head and went back to the Taishou Mansion.
Back in the house, no one in the house dared to come forward, and Zu Mao, who usually wished to grow up here, didn't come today, for fear of hitting Sun Jian's unsmooth nerves and being scolded.
At night, while wiping the filth on Sun Jian's body in the courtyard, Mrs. Wu asked, "Husband, is your mind not smooth?" ”
"Madame sees?"
Mrs. Wu smiled: "Can't you see that?" Ce'er hasn't entered our courtyard since he returned home, and Quan'er has returned from you, but he hasn't come out of his small courtyard, you don't know. ”
"Is there one?"
Sun Jian reacted at this time, Sun Quan has always been following behind his ass as if he has something to say to himself these days, why hasn't he seen him today?
"By the way, has Quan Er been in trouble these days?"
Mrs. Wu kicked with her foot, and a pile of iron tools on the ground 'clanged': "No, your son learned that you had strengthened the city defense, and ordered someone to build a tool for you, saying that this is called a trowel, and it is the best thing to use to smooth the cement; It's called ......."
Mrs. Wu answered: "Level." ”
"Yes, level, Quan Er said, with this thing, you don't have to hang a rope on the city wall to find it."
"So amazing?"
Sun Jian glanced at the pile of things, and immediately frowned: "This kid, why didn't you take out such a good thing earlier?" ”
"Look at you, I still blame you for helping you, if it were me, I wouldn't give it to you!"
Mrs. Wu continued: "The use of this thing, Quan Er has already taught the housekeeper, I listened to a few words, the ingenuity is indeed praiseworthy, if my son doesn't think about this thing, those craftsmen are tired and can't think of it." ”
"Yes, it's just your second son, okay?"
Sun Jian suddenly reacted and said, "Where did he know these things?" ”
"Taught by Mother Liu again?"
"No, this time my son can say it, he asked Mr. Fuzhong to find a lot of ancient books, and he found them. What do you say when Dayu controls the water, the rules and standards are four instruments, the moment and the rope are to measure the height, depth and distance, the standard measurement level, he just simplified the equipment, easier to use......"
"Alright, alright." Sun Jian felt troublesome when he heard this: "This time your son is useful, okay?" ”
"What do you mean? I felt that Quan Er was outstanding. ”
"Alas, did you find it, since the last time Quan Er was frightened by thunder, it seems to be different from before. In the past, I didn't take the maid and servant to mess around, or I wanted to play crazy in the mountains and forests, but now it's completely different, I don't leave home, and I often take out something that surprises you, you say, is this considered to be growing up? ”
Sun Jian didn't have a home in his mind, he only hated why Wang Rui borrowed the ordnance so that he had no excuse to send troops, and said casually: "Yes, they have all grown up." ”
"No, what do you call my son, that's not your son."
Sun Jian didn't bother to say more to Mrs. Wu, and asked, "Have you finished wiping?" ”
As soon as Mrs. Wu withdrew her hand, she didn't care about it, turned around, and went back to the room in a huff.
When he came out again, he said: "You, be careful when fiddling with those things, Quan Er said, there is a very interesting weapon in it, called the hook and sickle, that is, the sickle is pressed on the head of the gun, I don't know what it means, when the time comes, you two will study it." ”
Sun Jian picked up the head of the hook and sickle and was startled, this thing looked too strange, saying that he was like a distant relative of the halberd, and he could be completely distinguished from the halberd, but if he put it on the ground to hook the horse's legs...... It's going to work wonders!
Under the moonlight, Sun Jian stared at the muddy basin on the ground and scolded: "Damn Wang Rui, you wait for me to ask Dong back!" ”
