Chapter 289 Duke Wei is already sixty years old——
Cangwu County, Guangxin City.
It was not yet noon, Lu Xun walked into a quiet side room in the government office, and looked at the room with bright windows, but there was no color on his face.
Shi Xie and Han Xuan have been waiting here for a long time, Han Xuan said eloquently.
"General Shi, it's come to this point, Bo Yan has also guessed a rough idea, we should tell Bo Yan the truth of everything, right?"
Shi Xie nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "Bo Yan's eight bull crossbow, I only said that I bought it from 'Huang Lao Xie', but presumably Bo Yan has already guessed that 'Huang Lao Xie' is the son of Yunqi!" ”
- "Sure enough!"
Lu Xun raised his eyes deeply and met the gaze of Sergeant Xie and Han Xuan, "So, Cheng Bing rescued Lu Ji, killed Lu Ji with the Eight Bull Crossbow, and killed Bu Qi, is this also the plan of the Cloud Banner Prince?" ”
"No!" Shi Xie waved his hand lightly, "Use Lu Ji to delay the offensive of Bo Yan and Lu Jiajun, and buy time for the delivery of the Eight Bull Crossbow, this is the true of Professor Yunqi Gongzi, but Lu Ji was rescued by an accident, and it is even more of a coincidence to kill Bu Qi, I prefer to say that this is the will of God, it is God who helps Yunqi Gongzi, and it is also God who helps Bo Yan to get out of the sea of suffering!" ”
"So..."Lu Xun said with emotion: "Lu Meng's backstab in the back, everything is expected by you..."
"Sort of..."
"Then this Wei envoy Sima Yi?" Lu Xun asked again.
This time, Han Xuan replied, "Yunqi Gongzi also expected that once Boyan counterattacked Jiangdong, it would inevitably attract Cao Cao's sideways, but after all, Jiaozhou is far away from the Central Plains, Cao Cao's eyes in Jiaozhou will not be too much, and the information that can be detected is limited, so... With limited information, he will definitely think that Bo Yan is the object you can fight for..."
"I see..."Lu Xun suddenly realized, "No wonder the prince of Yunqi wants me to take the Lu family army to Jiangxia by water... I was still suspicious, going north with such fanfare, wouldn't Cao Cao be aware of it? And how can it have the effect of a surprise attack? It turns out that the son of Yunqi has reached this level..."
"That's right, how wise Cao Cao is, how could he not have imagined that the purpose of Bo Yan's northern attack on Eastern Wu is to protect the Lu family's clansmen, and based on this, Bo Yan will definitely not really attack Eastern Wu in the north, from this point of view, Cao Cao can only recruit Bo Yan to Jingzhou, not to mention the current war situation, for that Cao Cao, Sun Quan's Hefei is just a disease of scabies, and Jingzhou is a big problem!"
Got it!
Now I understand it thoroughly!
"Yunqi Gongzi wants me to do everything..."Lu Xun exclaimed.
"So, in order to convince the Cao Wei envoy Sima Yi, we must act as realistically as possible." Han Xuan said with emotion. "30,000 Lu family troops, in Cao Cao's view, this is the immediate combat power, and it is also the key to being able to attack Jingzhou... However, if these 30,000 Lu family troops defect to the battle, then one will eliminate the other, calculate inside and out, and it will be 60,000 combat power that will be reversed, and Cao Cao will never recover! ”
Lu Xun, who was staring at Shi Xie and Han Xuan, suddenly felt his whole body loosen, as if the whole person was out of strength, but in just a moment, he realized that this was already on the bow and had to be sent, and immediately showed a smile full of emotion.
"It turns out that this game is only halfway through! For the remaining half, I, Lu Xun, will continue to walk. ”
Shi Xie hid a trace of worry in his eyes, nodded, and said with emotion: "To be honest, I'm a little worried about you, and we don't know each other... But going north to Jiangxia, that is the real battlefield, I admire the strategy of the prince of Yunqi, but after all, I feel that this will not be too risky, it is to let Boyan play with fire! ”
"Hahahaha..." Lu Xun swept away the haze of Fang Cai, and after learning the truth of everything, he was much more confident, and he immediately laughed and said: "It's Cao Cao and Sima Yi who are playing with fire!" ”
As he spoke, he stood up, respectfully bowed to Shi Xie and Han Xuan, and then turned around and was about to leave.
Han Xuan hurriedly shouted, "Bo Yan, where are you going?" ”
Lu Xun said with a smile: "I will meet that Sima Zhongda, and also go to start a new journey of my Lu family's army——"
Han Xuan went to shout again... Lu Xun has gone far.
Actually, Han Xuan wanted to remind.
- "This Sima Yi, but the prince of Yunqi specially instructed the character to be careful..."
- "However, if it is Bo Yan, maybe it is really an opponent in chess!"
…
…
Jiangxia, Anlu City.
When Guan Lin rushed to the city gate with great joy, he only saw Jiang Gan, where was there any "white phosphorus"...
- "Where's the phosphorus?"
- "Did this Jiang Gan put a squib?"
Guan Lin was almost about to burst into foul language...
He was originally full of expectations, but he had a feeling of a dog in his heart, and sure enough, he was not a person!
"Mr. Jiang? Are you kidding me? ”
Guan Lin stared at Jiang Gan...
Jiang Gan looked sad, "According to Guan Taishou's instructions, I did dig up the flint, and I dug it on the first day of going up the mountain, but I never thought about it, dug it out and put it in the box, and suddenly the flint ignited, and suddenly the fire rushed to the sky, and the posture was terrifying... It's good that the brethren are far away, otherwise... I'm going to be burned to death by that fire! ”
Call...
Not to mention, Jiang Gan's words made Guan Lin feel guilty all of a sudden.
I'm so anxious...
He only thought about the "Phosphorus Mountain" of "Great Xiaogan", but he forgot that the ignition point of this white phosphorus is only 40 degrees, and there is a certain probability that it will burn in contact with the air for a long time...
Thanks to Jiang Gan not getting too close to these brothers, and being upright in winter, otherwise, it would have caused a whole tragic scene!
"It's... Good news in the midst of misfortune! ”
Guan Lin said with emotion.
Who would have thought that Jiang Gan suddenly raised his head, his narrow eyes gradually widened from narrowing, and he said excitedly: "How does the prince of Yunqi know? And the good news! ”
- Ahh
In Guan Lin's stunned.
Jiang Gan said carefully: "I looked at the large amount of flint that burned, and I wondered, the purity of this Sifang Mountain flint is so high, so easy to ignite, so how to use it?" How to ship it... This flint is so easy to ignite, it's powerful, and it's even more difficult to operate, right? ”
Without waiting for Guan Lin to ask, Jiang Gan suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, hahaha, or I'm a genius!" I thought that all things are mutually reinforcing, that is, this air and high heat are the flint, and that is simply... Just use water, and sure enough... I didn't expect that this flint stone does not melt in water, it can be preserved in water, so... During this time, I went out early and returned late in order to dig a ditch in Sifang Mountain, and then build a pond, put the flint into a wooden box on the spot, and then tie a rope and quickly sink to the bottom of the pond... In this way, the problem of flint storage is solved. ”
"Nowadays, a lot of flint is buried at the bottom of the pond and can be pulled up whenever you want, and I have found that as long as you pour water on top of the flint, as long as the water is there, the flint will not ignite on its own... Hahahaha, whether the flint is mined, stored, and transported this time... All the problems, under the wisdom of my Jiang Gan, all of them have been solved in one go..."
Belch...
Jiang Gan's words directly stunned Guan Lin.
- "This Jiang Gan? Is it so capable?'
Thinking of this...
Guan Lin subconsciously exclaimed, "You are my Guan Lin's sleeping dragon and phoenix chick!" ”
This is the third "Wolong and Phoenix Chick" of Guan Linfeng after Mi Fang and Fu Shiren!
It's no wonder that Guan Lin shouted so heartily.
In fact, when he heard the ignition of white phosphorus, Guan Lin was quite worried, and he was thinking... What method should be used to store white phosphorus and transport white phosphorus...
Even how to do a large amount of white phosphorus mining in the process to avoid unnecessary casualties!
But before he could figure it out, Jiang Gan had already done this well, not only did he do it well, but he also encountered problems and his ability to solve them was also beautiful!
Suddenly, Guan Lin felt some sympathy for Jiang Gan, a classmate who had been hacked by the later "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" for thousands of years, not to mention that "Jiang Gan stole books" was made up;
Not to mention that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were not killed by Jiang Gan at all;
Just talking about the ability to dig white phosphorus, encounter problems, and solve problems, Guan Lin thinks that Jiang Gan can use it!
"Asking Jiang Gong to dig white phosphorus before, it was really a bit overkill." Guan Lin said with emotion.
Before digging out the white phosphorus, call the person Mr. Jiang, and after digging out the white phosphorus, call Jiang Gong directly...
"Don't dare..."Jiang Gan was modest, but before he was modest, his nature leaked out, and he sighed: "Although it is indeed a little useful, Guan Taishou is in contact with Gan for the first time, and he does not know Gan's talent and knowledge, and as a general, it is natural for him to go to the soup for the Lord... I just hope that Guan Taishou will not use a knife to kill chickens next time! ”
The arrogance in Jiang Gan's bones still can't be hidden.
Guan Lin bowed, "Gong Jiang can do this and impress the younger generation, but... There is another big thing for the younger generation, looking at the whole Jiangxia, only Jiang Gong can be competent, so that the younger generation can rest assured! However, this time it's not about killing chickens, it's really killing 'cows'..."
Oh...
Guan Lin's words made Jiang Gan feel relieved for a while, and he sighed: "I don't know what it is? ”
"Jiang Gong, take a step to speak."
Guan Lin stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and at the same time took out a drawing from his arms, this drawing is exactly what he has been pondering for a long time and drawing, and the "incendiary bomb" that can be made under the existing conditions of this era, ah no, to be precise, it should be the detailed step diagram of the 'incendiary canister'.
"Jiang Gong, what is drawn on this drawing is the 'Burning Tank', the upcoming decisive battle of Jiangxia, I need five thousand of these 'Burning Tanks', if Jiang Gong can make it, it will be this battle to break Cao, my first meritorious minister in Jingzhou! In the whole of Jingzhou, no, all official titles, if Jiang Gong is interested, I will ask my father for Jiang Gong! ”
Not to mention, Guan Lin's words went to Jiang Gan's heart.
Jiang Gan is a celebrity, and he is handsome and handsome, and he is known for his talent... Between the Dubu River and Huai, don't be right!
Since he was a child, the people around him always boasted about him, always praised him, and when he was young, he was a figure on par with Mei Shulang, and he was proud...
But after joining Cao Ying, he is not reused!
Cao Cao doesn't like this kind of clever person, Cao Cao pays attention to being virtuous and does not avoid virtue, and likes talents who can work hard and lead the army to govern the country, but Jiang Gan...
The only one who sent him to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, what else did he say when he came back - "Yoga is elegant, not between words!" ”
Cao Cao never valued the process, he only wanted the result, of course... Cao Cao doesn't care whether Zhou Yu is elegant or not, if you can't persuade him, that is, your ability is not good.
So he immediately sent Jiang Gan to Anlu County, Jiangxia, to be a small county magistrate.
Over the years, Jiang Gan has been depressed.
When he was young, those around him praised and talked about him, some of them were even better than him, and some compared him with Zhou Yu, Jiang Gan was simply faceless!
Therefore, Jiang Gan didn't have much belonging to Cao Wei at all, he wanted to lie flat, but by chance he became Guan Yu's general.
And by chance, he served beside Jiangxia Taishou Guan Lin...
And was sent to dig "flint".
Anlu City, as the "eye of the storm" of the current Cao Liu dispute, the Jiangxia battlefield and even the entire "Jingzhou Huainan" battlefield
Jiang Gan realized that perhaps as the former magistrate of Anlu County, his opportunity to prove himself had come...
He's been waiting for an opportunity.
That's why I spared no effort to do the "white phosphorus" thing extremely beautifully!
He was holding back a lot of energy in his heart!
At this moment, Guan Lin's words are pies or true, in short... Jiang Gan realized that the real opportunity had come, and he Jiang Gan finally had a chance to stand up!
"The prince of Yunqi calls me 'Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick', and he trusts me so much." Jiang Gan patted his chest, "Then the production of this 'incendiary canister' will be handed over to me, as long as I, Jiang Gan, still have my life, within half a month, I will deliver these five thousand incendiary bombs!" ”
"Half a month..."Guan Lin smacked his mouth, "Time is pressing, I will give Jiang Gong a thousand people, can it be ten days?" ”
Actually, the drawings are very simple...
The steps are also very simple...
And the materials are all ready, it just requires some tedious handwork.
Of course, this is theoretical, and in practice, there will definitely be a series of problems, and it is precisely that Jiang Gan seems to be a man who is very good at solving problems.
Sure enough, Jiang Gan pondered for a moment, he carefully read the drawings again, closed his eyes, and went through all the processes in his mind, and finally said categorically.
"I'll try, try—"
"Haha..."Guan Lin said with a smile: "This answer is not domineering, thinking about Zhuge Military Division, when facing the task of Zhou Gongjin's 100,000 arrows, he only took three days to complete it!" ”
"It's not the same... I took a cursory look at the drawing, and although the steps of the 'burning tank' are simple, they have to be slow and detailed, and they can't take advantage of it... Be very careful at every step. Jiang Gan sighed: "Ten days is already the limit. ”
At this point, the matter is settled.
Jiang Gan also hurried to Sifang Mountain again, these days, he estimated that he would not be able to return to the city...
It was Guan Lin, looking at Jiang Gan's departing back, he beckoned the Shiwu standing on the periphery to come over, "Uncle Shiwu, it's hard for you to go to Jiangxia Sergeant to investigate, what other family members of this Jiang Gan are in the north?" In the Central Plains? ”
"Yes!" Shiwu gave up his orders and went to investigate.
Seeing Jiang Gan leaving, Zhang Xingcai, who was also standing on the periphery obediently, walked quickly to Guan Lin's side, "I can only hear the incendiary canister, what is it?" ”
"Well..."
Don't say it, Zhang Xingcai's words are really difficult for Guan Lin, he "chirped" his mouth, thought about it slightly, and then explained: "If there is something that can bury hundreds of thousands of people overnight, then I think it must be this burning tank, but the existing conditions, from the finished product of the real burning tank, at most eighty percent have been completed... However, it is enough to ban a pot! ”
Yes...
Hundreds of thousands?
Or buried overnight.
For a while, Zhang Xingcai was dumbfounded and dumbfounded!
…
…
Jiaozhou, Cangwu County, Guangxin City's market.
Zhang Chunhua and Sima Yi, who changed back into women's clothes, were already carrying a lot of things in their hands, a few fish, a large bag of oranges, and a large string of pearls under their armpits.
A vendor at a medicinal herb stall greeted Sima Yi, "Sir? Not like a local? It's from the north, right? Come and see our rhino horns and ivory... I heard that this thing is more expensive than gold in the north? Mr. and Mrs. buy it back, and you can still make a fortune if you can't keep it! ”
Sima Yi turned his head and saw that there were many Jiaozhou specialties on the stall, which were also very precious treasures in the north.
Pearls, ivory, rhino horn, hawksbill turtles, corals, emeralds, spices and tropical fruits...
He freed his hand, chose a hairpin made of ivory, and put it into Zhang Chunhua's bun with a smile, Zhang Chunhua lowered his head a little shyly, and touched the hairpin happily.
The two continued to move forward, and before they knew it, they had reached the end of the market, looking at the endless flow of the market, and a little emotion and sadness suddenly appeared on their faces.
Zhang Chunhua noticed the change in Sima Yi's expression and asked.
"Zhongda? What happened to you? ”
Sima Yi muttered: "You see, how lucky the people of Jiaozhou are, they live here every day, and they don't have to worry about war at all, but we are fighting every day in the Central Plains, in fact, I have always wanted to propose to the prime minister that it is time for the Great Wei to rest the people and raise troops." ”
Looking at Sima Yi's serious expression, Zhang Chunhua didn't know what to say for a while.
After another half an hour, Sima Yi returned to the inn with a lot of loot and Zhang Chunhua, but Lu Xun was already waiting outside the inn.
Sima Yi only felt that the son in front of him was about the same age as him, but his bearing was extraordinary, especially a pair of eyes, which cast a warm gaze, but there was a little more edge in this gaze.
"In Xia Sima Yi, I don't know who Your Excellency is?"
Sima Yi put aside all the "spoils", and then handed it over to Lu Xun.
Lu Xun greeted him warmly: "Sima Zhongda did not hesitate to come thousands of miles to Jiaozhou, isn't it just for me and my soldiers and horses?" ”
Yes...
Sima Yi was stunned and said in surprise, "General Lu—"
When Lu Xun saw the thing in Sima Yi's hand, he was amused and surprised, "...... this?" ”
Sima Yi waved his hand embarrassedly, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I made General Lu smile... My wife and I came to Jiaozhou for the first time, and we were dazzled by the dazzling array of goods here... It's like a country man going into the city. ”
Lu Xun couldn't help laughing: "Follow the customs, follow the customs-"
Zhang Chunhua went in with a lot of things.
Sima Yi and Lu Xun sat down separately, and Lu Xun smiled and said: "The envoy of the Great Wei sent an envoy to Jiaozhou, and he needed to cross the hostile place, and he still brought his wife?" Sure enough, it's a swaying of nature, and celebrities are romantic..."
Sima Yi said with a smile: "It's not a secret, Neiko's martial arts are ten times better than me, ordinary martial artists are not her opponents, she is here to protect me!" ”
Lu Xun was stunned, and the two laughed again.
Lu Xun said: "As soon as the Sima envoy arrived in Jiaozhou, he inspected its people and observed its customs. ”
Sima Yi sighed: "Jiaozhou has been far away from the scourge of war for many years, and its wealth is abnormal, far from being comparable to the Central Plains. ”
Lu Xun continued: "Sima envoy for Wei Gong to win over Jiaozhou, then I dare to ask, can Wei Gong get through Jingzhou, can he recapture Jianghuai, can he open up the road between Jiaozhou and the Central Plains again?" ”
Sima Yi shook his head and said: "The road from Jiaozhou to the Central Plains is like the Silk Road during the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. ”
"But if I say it bluntly, Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang, Sun Quan has Lu Zijing, and these two people are here, under the solid Sun and Liu Alliance, Wei Gong is doing his best, and he can't gather soldiers and horses like Chibi in the First Battle... But it is more difficult for the Sun-Liu alliance to go on a northern expedition, there are big clan disputes in Jiangdong, and there are factions in Jingzhou and Bashu, not to mention that both the people of Jiangdong and the people of Bashu have the heart of living in peace and war-weariness, more than enough to defend the city, and lack of progress... Just relying on the corner of Guan Yunchang in Jingzhou, in fact, it can't pose much of a threat to Wei Gong! ”
Lu Xun was puzzled: "What does Sima Envoy mean?" ”
Sima Yi said slowly: "Jiaozhou and the Great Wei are friendly, Bo Yan led the army to the north, defeated Guan Yu, my lord gave the land of Jingzhou to Bo Yan, at that time, whether Bo Yan returned blood to blood, against Eastern Wu, or to recuperate, wouldn't it be beneficial?" ”
Lu Xun was taken aback: "Duke Wei wants to seal Jingzhou to me?" ”
Sima Yi analyzed: "After years of fighting, our country is exhausted, if it weren't for this, how could Liu Bei take advantage of the situation to go west to Yizhou, east to Jingzhou, Xiangfan battlefield, this is a situation of equal strength, but Boyan's 30,000 Lu family army can completely turn the balance of this piece of scale!" Compared to Guan Yu, Duke Wei preferred General Lu to occupy Jingzhou... Just like Zang Ba, who was under Lu Bu in the past, now he lives in Langya State, which is the country within the country of Great Wei, and he has been rewarded, and his food is 3,000 households, even the generals of the Cao Wei clan can rarely match it! ”
Lu Xun said: "Then, what can Sima Envoy use to assure me that Duke Wei is not just talking!" What can you assure me that after I Lu Xun surrenders to Wei, my soldiers and horses will not be affected, and my status and officials will be able to rise to the top? ”
Sima Yi was silent, he stood up and paced slowly, Lu Xun did not urge, and looked at him quietly.
Sima Yi finally stood still, and with an extremely cautious attitude, he slowly said word by word: "Duke Wei is already sixty years old..."
Lu Xun smiled: "What does Sima Envoy mean?" ”
Without waiting for Lu Xun to finish speaking, Sima Yi's words continued, "Duke Wei's head disease has never really healed... It's been getting worse over the years! The situation in the court is also becoming more and more unpredictable. ”
"Especially this year, a widow order, a nine-grade official law, Cao Zhi has the support of the clan generals, Cao Pi has the support of the family, and the son of Pi lacks a trustworthy cronies and horses! The 30,000 Lu family army is still the Lu family army who is good at water warfare, and what Bo Yan wants to do will be from the dragon! ”
Lu Xun was stunned, "What does Sima Envoy mean, are you guaranting for the future prince of Great Wei?" ”
Sima Yi didn't intend to explain: "That's all I have to say in the next word..."
Lu Xun smiled, "Understood!" ”
