Xun You coughed lightly and said, "When you prepare more fire arrows, you can break them next time the thief comes." ”

"Wen Lie go and prepare, check how many arrows have been lost!" Cao Cao commanded and walked away.

Xiahoudun glared at this son who didn't know how important he was, and said in a deep voice: "At a young age, what do you know?" In the army, Er Xiu has to say more. ”

The arrow needs to be wrapped with thatch or wrapped in cloth strips, soaked in fire oil in advance before it can be used, and sometimes in order to save materials, the arrow will be pulled out, which must be prepared in advance, and it is too late to use it in a hurry.

Everyone was busy with military affairs, and Xiahou Nan stood on the shore for a long time, shrugged his shoulders and looked innocent: "Did I say something wrong?" ”

Knowing that Cao Cao was fooled, he must be in a displeasure mood, and he didn't want to touch his head, so he was bored and wandered along the water village alone.

As he was leaving, suddenly there was a muffled sound from the northern port, the waves rolling, the voices of people were noisy, and some people shouted for help.

Xiahou Nan walked over quickly, only to see that the ships here were coming and going, connected to the Xishan Dazhai, transporting heavy horses, and the soldiers were cautious.

A ship had just been overloaded, and the wind was strong in the morning, and a wave came over, and the soldier did not steer the boat properly, and it capsized in the water.

"Bastards, a bunch of rubbish!" Wen Qin came from the tent and scolded when he saw this.

The deputy general hurriedly smiled, the wind and waves were too strong just now, everyone was in a hurry to transport supplies, and temporarily transferred people to help, but they were not familiar with driving a boat, and they made mistakes in their busyness.

Wen Qin is also Cao Cao's son, and Cao Pi, Wei Wei and other close relations, when he was a teenager was brave and resolute, this time Cao Cao took out with the army to train, Xiahou Nan saw him lead the army, envy.

stepped forward to comfort a few words, Wen Qin also sighed helplessly, since the defeat of the navy, everything can be sailed, and those who know a little about water have been transferred to the navy for training, and he supervised the army in the rear to contact Xizhai.

Although it is only separated by a water, for the Northern Army, which does not know how to sail, it is trembling every day, and there is no need to patrol the camp easily.

Xiahou Nan asked: "Since the troops are often stationed here, why not build a pontoon bridge?" ”

Wen Qin smiled bitterly: "Do you know that this river is bottomless? If it rains and the water is turbulent, it is difficult for boats to cross, let alone build bridges? ”

"This is also ......" Xiahou Nan sighed, and suddenly his expression froze, and he ran to the camp.

"Zilin ......" Wen Qin was complaining, and when he saw him running like a frightened rabbit, he was stunned and said: "People say that the prime minister's eldest son-in-law and wife are not in harmony, and the brothers are not in harmony, it seems that there is a reason for it." ”

Xiahou Nan went straight to Cao Cao's camp, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he hit a person head-on, as if he had hit a wall, and he retreated four or five steps in a row, with gold stars in his eyes.

Looking up, it was Xu Chu standing there with a knife, his burly body, blocking the tent door tightly.

"Oh, what are you doing...... "Xiahou Nan held his knee with one hand, panting, "I, it's me!" ”

Xu Chu hummed and said: "Without the pass, no one is allowed to trespass into the prime minister's tent!" ”

Xiahou Nan knew that this was a brute bull, and said helplessly: "I am tired of General Xu to report it, and he will say that I have an important military situation to report." ”

Xu Chu motioned for the guards next to him to enter the account, and after a while, he called Xiahou Mao in.

Xiahou Nan passed by Xu Chu's side, looked up at the black face, pouted and "cut", and advanced proudly.

When I entered the tent, I saw Cao Cao rubbing his forehead at the desk, and Xiahoudun and Cao Chun were sitting silently aside, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

Xiahou Nan coughed lightly and stepped forward to ask, "I don't know how many arrows I lost?" ”

Everyone looked up at him with a brush, their eyes were like knives, and Xiahoudun was even more angry and gritted his teeth, thinking that your kid can't speak, just fuck me shut up!

Cao Cao was in pain

groaned and sighed: "More than 100,000!" ”

Xiahou Nan stopped his chest, took a few steps forward, and said with his fists clenched: "Just 100,000 arrows, the little son-in-law is willing to serve him and make it for the prime minister." ”

"It's rare for Zilin to share my worries!" Cao Cao exhaled a breath of turbidity, his face pale, "But arrows can be made, and evil qi is difficult to come out, Liu Qi'er, why do you repeatedly oppose me?" ”

Xiahou Nan said: "Don't worry, although Liu Qi has some despicable means, but the son-in-law went to Xiangyang this time, and he didn't get nothing, not only did he find a lot of important information, but also offered good strategies to solve the prime minister's worries." ”

Xiahoudun said sharply: "Rebel, the military situation is a major matter, how can you be allowed to discuss here in vain, and you don't get out?" ”

"Slow!" Cao Cao patted his forehead, motioned for Xiahou Nan to sit down, and asked, "What have you seen and heard in Jingzhou?" ”

Xiahou Nan said: "Jingzhou is transferring troops to Jiangling and Zigui, and I expect that in the near future, troops will be sent to Yizhou, and Liu Qi will definitely not stay here for a long time." ”

"Oh? Liu Qi actually wants to map Xichuan? Cao Cao's eyes were slightly cold, he thought for a moment, and then asked, "What else is the military situation?" ”

Xiahou Nan also said that Liu Qi vigorously promoted commerce in Jingzhou, improved the status of merchants, and opened trade routes to Jiaozhou, Nanyue and other places to make money.

Cao Cao listened for a while, but said disdainfully: "Liu Qi is abandoning his roots and chasing the end, the businessman is wise and deceitful, clever in obtaining laws and regulations, telling right and wrong, and moving and walking everywhere all year round. Once the country is in trouble, everyone has ambitions and no intentions, and this move will inevitably reap the consequences. ”

Xiahou Nan was surprised: "Is it so serious? ”

Xun You nodded and said: "Since ancient times, the people of industry and commerce have been five beetles, and Liu Qi is light and business-oriented, gathering money, this is drinking to quench thirst!" Liu Biao ruled Jingzhou, the style of writing was outstanding, celebrities and celebrities rushed to defect, and the territory was purged. Liu Qi did the opposite, in the future, Jingzhou's giant businessmen will be rampant, everyone will pursue profit, the younger generation will go to literature and seek profit, and the businessmen will talk about national affairs, and take profit first, I am afraid that not only Jingzhou will be in chaos, but also will be a big disaster for the country! ”

Xiahou Nan glanced at Cao Cao, and didn't dare to mention making money again, for fear that everyone would label him as a disaster to the country and the people, so he quickly changed the topic and hugged his fists:

"The son-in-law came in a hurry because he saw the capsized ship in Houzhai just now, and it was extremely inconvenient to transport heavy men and horses.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What countermeasures does Zilin have?" ”

Since arriving in Huainan, the navy has been suffering from many diseases, even those who trained in Xuanwu Lake often vomited on the boat, and other people can even be imagined.

Those who do not accept the water and soil are also helpless, so the combat power of the people and horses is greatly reduced, and Cao Cao has the most headache in this matter.

Xiahou Nan said: "When the son-in-law went to Jingzhou from Nanyang, he saw a serial ship in Hanshui......

He said again that Liu Qi used an old boat chain to build a pontoon bridge on the Xiangjiang River, not only pedestrians can cross, cattle and horses can also walk, regardless of the ups and downs of the wind and waves, they can also walk on the ground.

After a description, Xiahoudun and the others were all moved, and they all bowed their heads and discussed.

"Wonderful...... Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palms and laughed: "Wonderful! If there is a series of warships in our army, not to mention a small beard, even on the big river, there is no fear of the Jiangdong naval army! ”

Xun You also said: "Prime Minister, this plan is feasible, prepare early!" ”

Cao Cao immediately ordered Xiahoudun to personally preside over the matter, and concentrated blacksmiths to build a chain of iron cables overnight, lock the boats, and first connect the east and west villages.

Everyone was happy, and Cao Cao praised Xiahou Nan: "Zilin has made a great contribution this time, what reward do you want, just open your mouth." ”

Xiahou Nan hugged his fists and said: "The little son-in-law has nothing else to ask for, I hope that the prime minister will capture Liu Qi as soon as possible, I can humiliate him in person, and it is enough to be ashamed before the snow!" ”

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Liu Qi'er, I have cheated a few times, and now I use your tricks to capture you, have you ever expected it?" This is called the reincarnation of the way of heaven! ”
