On the rolling Yangtze River, a warship was moored on the shore of Jiangling City, and Chen Shujian on the bed was furious and smashed the cup in his hand: "What are you doing?!" Why did you rashly attack the port of Poyang, don't you know that this will only cause a war? ”

Yang Guang, who was sitting on the top seat, picked up the cup unhurriedly and took a sip of water: "King of Changsha, don't worry, this matter is only good for you, not harmful." ”

The king of Changsha glared angrily: "What benefit?!" ”

"Isn't it the greatest help for Your Excellency that we intervened in Nan Chen against Xiao Yan and the others? Could it be that you want us to help Nan Chen deal with you? ”

The king of Changsha was speechless, and Yang Guang continued.

"King of Changsha, please remember clearly the purpose of our alliance, which is to overthrow Chen Shubao, not to see you delay time without making an indifference."

Chen Shujian, the king of Changsha, is too cunning, he doesn't see a rabbit or an eagle, he has always only confronted Xiao Moke, and never tested the other party's bottom line, obviously he is deliberately delaying time, Yang Guang has to add a fire.

"How can it be as easy as you say, Xiao Moke led 150,000 troops, and there was the main force of the imperial court in the follow-up, how could he do it easily without the right time?"

Yang Guang replied: "Yes, how can you do it easily without the right time, I won't send you the time now." ”

"Is this the time?"

"Why not? And you don't need to change anything, just continue to lead the troops to a stalemate, and leave the rest to us, isn't it easier for you? ”

Yang Guang's rhetorical question will not be able to get Chen Shujian to go, he can indeed do nothing now, but can he really do nothing?

What if, just one in case, Yang Guang and the others really defeated the Nan Chen army, then what should they do after that? Although they are allies with Yang Guang, will they really give Nan Chen to themselves?

No way.

Soon, Chen Shujian fell into the contradiction of whether to fight or not to fight.

It is indeed possible for them to win the battle if they join forces, but after winning the battle, will the other party keep their promise to make themselves the emperor of Nan Chen?

After all, after the unremitting efforts of the Sima family, which caused chaos in the world, the words between politicians now no longer have any credibility, and swearing is useless.

Chen Shujian felt that it was unlikely, so he said, "What are you going to do next?" ”

Yang Guang smiled slightly, and ordered someone to push out a huge cannon, the fort was two meters high, and the barrel was terrifyingly more than three meters long, which made Chen Shujian dumbfounded.

"It's ......"

"This is called a giant cannon, it is improved on the basis of the tiger squat cannon, the power of the tiger squat cannon you have seen, this kind of giant cannon is what we use to attack the city, the power is more than 100 times that of the tiger squat cannon, the distance that can be hit is more than ten times, it can hit four or five miles, and now it is being stepped up to build, wait until the spring of March next year, maybe it will look like in May, we will attack the capital of Nanchen in a big way, and strive to fight it down at one time."

"Of course, we need the assistance of the King of Changsha, you have to delay Xiao Moke's elite army here, so that the time for them to return will be greatly delayed, and more time will be bought for our battle."

Looking at the terrifying cannon, Chen Shujian stood up a little distracted, and involuntarily reached out to touch the giant cannon.

The cold and hard touch made Chen Shujian shudder, recalling that his warship was smashed by Yang Guang's warship in one photo, and he couldn't help but imagine how powerful this giant cannon should be.

A hundred times more than the tiger squat cannon, it is not a single cannon that can collapse the wall of Jiankang City.

Seeing that Chen Shujian was deceived, Yang Guang continued: "This kind of huge cannon is expensive, we plan to build fifty statues with the strength of the whole country, and when the time comes, our warships will be lined up on the Yangtze River and bombard Jiankang City." ”

Imagining this picture, Chen Shujian couldn't think of anything that the Chen Dynasty would take to resist the strong ships and cannons of the Great Sui at that time.

Fifty, that's a whole fifty cannons.

"King of Changsha, this attack on Poyang County, destroyed some of their warships and ports, they will definitely retaliate, we will fight with them in the Yangtze River Mountain, but you should also understand the ability of our navy, you delay Xiao Moke's army, just do your part, and leave the rest to us."

Chen Shujian said with a gloomy face: "After I go back tonight, I will let my subordinates provoke trouble, so that Xiao Moke can't leave." ”

"The king of Changsha understands the righteousness, I thank you first."

Chen Shujian left here hastily and went back.

Xiao Cong stood up and walked to the side of the giant cannon and said, "King Jin, is this thing really that powerful?" ”

"Naturally, no."

"What about you?!"

"This giant cannon was built on a whim by the people in the Daxingcheng Firearms Arsenal, don't look at it, it's just a big lump of iron, and the current gunpowder technology can't use such a big lump of iron."

"Then you lied to him?"

Yang Guang smiled slightly: "Actually, this is the same as the first time he deceived him with a musket, it is just the fear in people's hearts, this big iron lump cost a lot of money to build, although it can't be used in actual combat, but it is naturally okay to continue to deceive people, Nan Chen is now very afraid of our firearms, this kind of thing can increase their fear, and it is not in vain that I spent a lot of effort to move it to Jiangling." ”

Xiao Cong smiled: "If this Chen Shujian knows that you are still deceiving him, I'm afraid he will be angry to death?" ”

"Then he has to be willing to be fooled, and he is not the only one who will deceive this time."

"Who else are you going to fool?"

"The entire Nanchen, the people and the ministers of civil and military affairs on both sides of the river."

Xiao Cong was puzzled, so Yang Guang said: "Uncle, I can also borrow the method used by Prime Minister Cao Cheng to intimidate Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms. ”

"Put three thousand war books in the bamboo tube, down the river, the content is: Liang unfilial descendants Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhen, the following offenses, now order a crusade, the flag, unfilial descendants are waiting to be killed, Poyang Lake destroyed 50 warships in a war, today the training of 300,000 sailors, 200 warships, 50 giant cannons, next year's warm weather crusade against the rebels, sweep the lintel, this matter has nothing to do with the Chen Dynasty, I hope the emperor and the monarchs of the Chen Dynasty do not panic, do not interfere."

The methods of the predecessors are still valid now, and the teachers are famous.

Xiao Cong clapped his hands and said, "If you make such a fuss, will the Chen Dynasty be unpopular?" Chen Shubao will not believe that we are just beating Xiao Yan and others, and the people of the Chen Dynasty will not believe that the imperial court can sit idly by, so there will be even more chaos within Nan Chen. ”

"Keep in mind our purpose, that is, to make Nanchen chaotic, the more chaotic the better."

"Then will you fight next year?"

"You can fight, you can not fight, leave them these four or five months, see how Nan Chen's people deal with it, and then decide our next countermeasures."

Yang Guang then asked: "By the way, uncle, I think the progress of the fast road is not bad." ”

Xiao Cong was overjoyed: "Yes, after the establishment of Xiliang Bank, now my father is a little worried, how to spend so much money." ”

"Uncle, there will be more and more in the future."

"Huh?"
