Farmer of Shu Han

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"rise!"

On the opposite side of Caoqiao Pass, on the bank of Danshui, the civilian husbands and auxiliary soldiers of the Han army, as well as the technical personnel of the engineering battalion, were constantly shouting slogans.

The logs felled from the surrounding area were simply processed and then transported to the water's edge, where they began to build shelves along the water's edge.

It not only extends to both sides, but also extends to the water surface.

Not far from the shore, several stone cannons have begun to take shape.

Obviously, Feng Duhu didn't think about forcing the soldiers to cross the Danshui directly.

Instead, I plan to try the big man's stone cannon for long-range strikes first.

As for whether it can destroy the Guancheng and Wubao of the Wei army on the other side - no one knows until they try.

But there is nothing wrong with giving it a try.

As long as the opponent's defensive force can be weakened as much as possible, the casualties of soldiers can be reduced when the army is forced to cross.

The current big man is no longer the country of Shu that had no fault tolerance rate back then.

Instead, he has grown into Ji Han who is afraid of even Wei Guo and has the possibility of unifying the world.

Facing the Caoqiao Pass which is guarded by danger, and the main general is Guanqiu Jian, there is basically not much room for any tricks.

Feng Duhu only needs to set up the army formation in an upright manner, and attack according to the squad.

He believed that as long as Lu Xun really wanted to capture Xiangyang, then sooner or later, Wu Qiujian would be in a difficult situation.

At that time, whether it is Lu Xun or Wuqiu Jian, they will definitely be more anxious than themselves, and they will be much more anxious.

Lu Xun besieged Xiangyang, and Guanqiu Jian had to worry that Xiangyang would be captured.

Lu Xun broke through Xiangyang, and Guanqiu Jian tried to find a way to deploy a defense line along the Han River.

Seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, Feng Duhu felt very relaxed, and even yawned.

The sun in May has become a bit vicious.

Especially around noon, I always want to sleep.

Meng Yan, on the other hand, was a little worried when he saw Feng Duhu's massive construction work, and walked hesitantly into the pergola built for Feng Duhu:

"Chuhu, although Danshui is in a hurry, wouldn't it be inappropriate to mobilize people like this?"

The big sun was hanging in the sky, and Feng Duhu, who was half lying down, hid under the awning, half-closed his eyes and took a nap, holding a fishing rod in his hand.

Like sleeping but not sleeping, like fishing but not fishing.

The posture is right and the feeling is comfortable.

As a qualified angler, when you have nothing to do, there is still a river in front of you. If you don’t fish, do you want to catch fish?

Of course, if conditions permit, it is not impossible to fish and touch fish at the same time.

After being disturbed by Meng Yan, Feng Duhu opened his eyes, glanced at the busy construction site in the distance, and said strangely:

"What's wrong? It's not a good job?"

The engineering battalion is also a technical arm after all.

Under their guidance, the efficiency is always high.

Meeting Feng Duhu's puzzled gaze, Meng Yan quickly explained:

"The Central Guard has misunderstood. What the last general means is that the fee will be too much?"

Those who knew it was going to cross Danshui, but those who didn't know it, seeing this posture, thought they were going to cross a great river.

Since Meng Yan led the army, he has always followed the prime minister.

Who is the prime minister?

People who wish to break one dollar into five dollars.

Even if the big man became rich later, the prime minister's picky temperament can't be changed--he's afraid of poverty.

Although the places that should be spent will indeed be spent, but the places that can be saved will definitely not waste an extra copper coin.

Just like this time, if a new prime minister comes over, it will probably be like a martial arts confrontation.

The special time is on the side of the big man. Even if the defense on the other side is tight, it is estimated that the prime minister can always wait patiently and quietly.

Wait until the thief Wei shows his flaws, and then forcefully break through the thief in one fell swoop.

Work hard and mobilize people to build large-scale construction projects?

nonexistent.

What a waste of money and food?

Like the extremely high nest car, every day there are soldiers holding binoculars, charcoal pencils, notebooks and other things, hanging up and down, shouting incomprehensible terms from time to time.

And the stone cannon, one can tell at a glance that it is going to be fired on the other side.

But I don't know what Zhongduhu's plan is, those stone cannons are of two sizes, one big and one small.

The smaller one seems to have changed a bit from before.

Meng Yan didn't know why Feng Duhu wanted to do this - just make them all big, wouldn't it be more powerful?

And those, those wooden shelves that stretched along the shore...

In Meng Yan's eyes, it feels like building a city here is probably enough.

The prime minister's tomb is on the mountain behind Wuguan!

In Nanzhong, everyone called the prime minister Grandpa.

Meng Yan, who was born in Nanzhong, couldn't sit still when she thought of her grandfather staring at her from behind:

No, I have to ask clearly, otherwise I will have no idea.

After all, I have never fought such a rich battle in my life.

Feng Duhu yawned again, making Meng Yan want to open his mouth to keep up.

After yawning, Feng Duhu pointed to Ma Zha next to him: "Sit first."

"Thank you, the Protector of the Central Government."

"In this hot day, I don't care about anything, but let you run around. I should be the one to say thank you."

Hearing Feng Duhu's words, Meng Yan felt a little embarrassed:

"Central capital's defense is serious, it's serious, these are what the last general should do."

Ju Fu had been with Feng Duhu anyway, so he knew Feng Duhu's temperament, so he could do whatever Zhongduhu arranged.

Meng Yan is different.

Although he also worked with Feng Duhu, firstly, he did not work in the army, and secondly, he was not a superior or subordinate. The situation was quite different.

What's more, the prime minister Meng Yan followed in the early years likes to ask about military affairs, no matter how big or small, before he can rest assured.

It's not like it is now, the central government's delegation of power is almost like letting go of everything in the military.

As for supervision and inspection, as well as other affairs in the military, they are basically in charge of that staff group.

Feng Duhu doesn't care about the process, only the result.

He will only come forward unless there is something important, or something that no one can decide.

However, everything in the army is arranged in an orderly manner.

Sometimes Meng Yan also wondered, if the prime minister was the same at the beginning, if he didn't have to work so hard, would he be able to live longer?

Feng Duhu, on the other hand, laughed when he heard Meng Yan's humble words:

"What do you mean by what should be done? This is not appropriate. In fact, I am lazy."

"Some things should be watched by me personally, but I'm too lazy to move, so I just let you do it."

Feng Duhu said mockingly:

"If the prime minister is here, seeing my tired appearance, I'm afraid he will whip me up."

There was a little embarrassment in the tone.

It was as if the prime minister called him to come forward, to show him a baby, still before his eyes.

Feng Duhu dared to say this, but Meng Yan dared not accept it.

He just laughed along dryly.

Sensing some embarrassment between the two, Feng Duhu looked at Meng Yan who was sitting next to him, as if he couldn't let go, so he didn't say any more.

Getting back to the topic, he pointed to the wooden shelves by the water and asked:

"General Meng, look at those shelves, what do they look like?"

Meng Yan looked in the direction Feng Duhu was pointing at, and blurted out:

"At the end of the day, when you look at it, it always feels like a ship."

You don't even need to look at it, it just looks like a ship.

What makes Meng Yan feel strange is that those wooden frames are just like, but they are not ships.

Of course, these days, it is not that there are no boats, but the real boats are not the same as the frames that are put in the water.

Feng Duhu nodded, pointed to the stone cannon that had just taken shape, and asked:

"General Meng thinks, if those stone cannons are placed on those shelves, will they be able to exert their power?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Meng Yan, who hadn't figured out the use of these wooden shelves, looked at Feng Duhu in amazement.

"Zhong, Zhongduhu, you mean, move the stone cannons to these shelves?"

There was disbelief in the tone, so that some stuttered.

He finally understood why stone cannons were not built in Dali.

But……

Why?

Picture what?

Wouldn't it be more powerful to make the stone cannon bigger and put it on the shore?

Isn't this superfluous?

Feng Duhu seemed to see Meng Yan's doubts. He first moved his body and adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable.

Then he said leisurely:

"General Meng, to be honest, if Lu Xun hadn't personally written to me asking me to come, I would have been too lazy to move at such a mere Caoqiao pass."

If it was someone else, it would be too loud.

But it was only natural that Feng Duhu said this.

After all, Caoqiaoguan is not Wuguan. The big man has a siege weapon that is unmatched in the world, and there are elite warriors who dare to fight, plus the cooperation of Lu Xun in the south.

As long as Lu Xun can really capture Xiangyang, if he comes to a qualified general, he can grind it slowly.

And if Lu Xun hadn't taken Xiangyang, then the big man didn't have to take Caoqiao Pass at this time.

Therefore, if Lu Xun hadn't invited Lu Xun to serve as the general guard of the Han Dynasty, how many people would he be able to invite?

"The central capital protects Tiger's power, who doesn't know?"

Meng Yan hastily boasted.

Feng Duhu laughed and scolded:

"It's business, I didn't let you flatter me."

"What is flattering?"

"You are flattering like this now."

Meng Yan laughed dryly again.

Feng Duhu didn't change the topic anymore, and continued with the previous words:

"You heard me right just now. I asked them to make these shelves just to test in actual combat what kind of effect the stone cannon would have when fired from a ship."

As for why it is not a real ship, of course it is because the big man has not yet fully digested Wu's shipbuilding technology.

Moreover, those students have not yet returned to China, let alone their boat handling skills.

There is also Danshui, no matter how turbulent it is, it can't compare with Dajiang.

So it can only be half water and half land, a fixed actual combat test.

Take it step by step, don't rush.

Isn't the aircraft carrier of later generations also built a model on land first?

At any rate, some data can be collected in advance, and at the same time, the gunner can feel the feeling of projectile on the water in advance.

But to Meng Yan, the point is not this, but...

"Dajiang? Zhongduhu, this is..."

Originally, he just wanted to come and talk to Feng Duhu about wasting money, but he didn't expect to hear some explosive news.

"It's the big river, what's the matter?" Feng Du Nursing Center said naturally, "If the big man wants to rule the world and realize Sanxing, shouldn't he cross the river?"

Of course, you have to cross the river.

But with Wu's shipbuilding and ship handling skills, even if he can only learn half of it, and Tongguan and Wuguan are all in the hands of the big man.

It is already impossible for Wei Guo to rely on the great river to block the eastward advance of the Han Dynasty.

So the main thing is to cross the river.

That's right, it was Wu Kou who hit him.

Feng Duhu pointed to the opposite bank, "I won't get involved too much in how to attack Caoqiao Pass this time. I'll leave it to you and General Ju to do the details."

"I'm here just to let those students and the engineering camp make a test data."

Hearing this, Meng Yan was agitated and said without thinking:

"It's enough for Zhongduhu's flag to stand here!"

Feng Duhu couldn't help but burst into laughter again, and pointed at Meng Yan:

"Stop flattering! Are you done asking? Get out of here and go to work."

Meng Yan chuckled, got up, saluted Feng Du in a respectful manner, then turned and left.

After stepping out of the arbor and back under the scorching sun, Meng Yan looked relaxed, and even had the mood to look up at the sky.

Ju Fu, who had been watching from afar for a long time, came over, glanced at the arbor in the distance, and asked:

"What did you say to the Central Guard, I hope it will make you happy."

Meng Yan and Ju Fu are guarding Wuguan together. They have been working together for almost three years, and they have known each other for a long time.

Hearing Gou Fu's question, Meng Yan chuckled, not trying to hide his ease.

It's just that the words that come out are a bit out of mind:

"Sanxing Dahan is expected, can you not be happy?"

Ju Fu looked Meng Yan up and down:

"The big man has been in the old capital for several years. Could it be that you only now know that the big man is hopeful?"

Meng Yan giggled again and remained silent.

Brother Ju, that's because you didn't work with the Central Guard in the early years...

The prime minister likes to be upright and upright, to overwhelm others with power.

That Feng Gui... Bah, no, the Zhongduhu is known for his deceit.

There is no way, since the day Feng Guiwang came out of the mountain, he has stepped on the bones of Nanzhong.

Moreover, Meng Yan has never forgotten the incident of Yue Yu back then.

Unexpectedly, after talking with Zhong Duhu now, he realized that he was looking at people with old eyes.

The prime minister did not pick the wrong person. Given time, Zhongduhu will definitely inherit the prime minister's behest.

Meng Yan's thoughts were flying, and she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have a niece called Hualan?

Well, I have been fighting outside these years, and it seems that I have been walking less with my brother.

After this battle is over, I have to find a way to move around more.

After all... the previous things have passed for so many years.

Over the years, not only the clansmen in Nanzhong are living a more prosperous life, but brother's family is even more enviable.

Who can say right or wrong?

Moreover, the niece not only married General Zhendong, but also gave birth to General Zhendong's eldest son, which made many people jealous.

What barbarian?

She is obviously the official wife of the Zhendong General's Mansion!

Thinking of this, Meng Yan felt a surge of pride:

After the great Han Sanxing, who would dare to say that the Meng family is still a native of Nanzhong?

"Let's go, let's study how to cross the Dan River, defeat the Wei thieves, and capture Caoqiao Pass."
