Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Liu Bei and Sun Qian thought hard, trying to think of a way to divert Guan Yu's attention. After thinking for a long time, Sun Qian said, "Why don't you find a girl for Guan Erye?"

Although Hua Tuo was old, he was also young. Hua Tuo thought to himself that at the age of the second general, it was time for him to be capable.At this time, if the interest comes up, you stab him twice, and he will have to finish those few stabs.But Hua Tuo thought about it again, and it didn't work.

"Mr. Sun, the second general can't move!" Hua Tuo said.

Hua Tuo thought to himself, it is true that finding a girl can divert his attention, but if Guan Yu moves, then Hua Tuo will not be able to use the knife.

"Hey, it's simple, the second brother doesn't move, let her move." Liu Bei said from the side.

Guan Yu is not a womanizer either, what these people said made Guan Yu's face flush with embarrassment, of course, his face also flushed when he was shameless and flustered.

"Brother, Mr. Sun, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Doctor Hua, go ahead and use the knife, I, Guan Yu, can bear it!" Guan Yu straightened his expression and said to Hua Tuo.

"Bring me the chessboard, my second brother and I are playing chess while Miracle Doctor Hua is wielding the knife." Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said.

While talking, the chessboard was brought over. Liu Bei and Guan Yu were playing chess while Hua Tuo cut flesh and healed Guan Yu.

Guan Yu is a face-saving person. With so many people in front of him, he was sweating and trembling from the pain, but he insisted on saying nothing.

"Rub! Rub! Rub!"

The sharp knife scratched Guan Yu's arm bone, making a creepy sound.The scene in front of me, let alone Guan Yu, who experienced it personally, is painful to look at.

When Hua Tuo scraped for about twenty or thirty times, he saw that the black toxin on Guan Yu's arm bone was almost scraped away.When I was about to close the wound, I suddenly found that there was still a small black spot.

This small black spot is probably the tip of the arrowhead, and it is deeply pierced, so it is hard to find if you don't look carefully.However, Hua Tuo knew, don't look at a small amount of poison that hasn't been cleaned up. If it is left in Guan Yu's arm, it will be a big deal.

Hua Tuo gestured with the tip of the knife, and then dug down fiercely. This time, the toxin was eradicated.

"Aww!"

"Snapped!"

"Crackling!"

"what!"

Hua Tuo dug suddenly, and there were many voices in the tent for a while.

"Aww!" was Guan Yu's scream.

There was a "snap", it was Guan Yu shaking the chessboard and throwing the chessboard to Liu Bei's face.

"Crackling" is the sound of chess pieces falling to the ground.

The last "ah", this is the scream of Liu Bei being hit on the face by the chessboard.

Chapter 367 The Two Rivers Are Blocked

Fankou, the front line of the battle between the Qin army and the Soochow army.

At this time, under the command of Zheng Chenggong, the Qin army's water army had already broken through the nine water villages set up by Zhou Yu, and completely drove the Wu army to land.

At this time, Zhou Yu commanded the Wu army's land and water troops to deploy defenses along the river in Chanling County, and now the Qin army's biggest dilemma came.

Zhou Yu's shipwreck blocked the mouth of the Liangjiang River. At this time, all the large ships of the Qin army were blocked at the mouth of the Liangjiang River, making it difficult to move.

The waterway at the Liangjiang Estuary was already the most serious silt break in the entire Yangtze River. Now that Zhou Yu's shipwreck blocked the river, it completely blocked the entire Liangjiang Estuary.The waterline of the entire Liangjiang Estuary is now less than ten feet.

The ships of the Qin army are mainly large ships. Now let alone the flagships such as three-track gunboats and chasing boats, even the Cangshan boat and the Haicang boat cannot pass the Liangjiangkou. Now the Qin army can sail There are very few ships crossing the Liangjiang Estuary.

Liangjiangkou, the camp of the Qin Army, if the Liangjiangkou was not blocked, and now it is moving forward, Chanling County should have entered the range of the Qin Army's artillery.

In the conference hall, generals of the Qin army were discussing how to cross the Liangjiang Estuary.

"King Qin, our army's net shuttle boats and serial boats can carry more than [-] troops. You give me [-] elite soldiers. I will raid the Wu army's forward positions tonight. If we can stabilize our position, we can use these net shuttle boats and serial boats to transport troops back and forth. " Qi Jiguang cupped his hands towards Li Chen and said.

Before Li Chen could speak, Zheng Chenggong denied Qi Jiguang's idea: "No, you are not attacking by force, you are sending yourself to death."

"Do you know how many troops Soochow has deployed on the front line of Chanling? The waterway army is at least 10,000+, 1 horses, you can't hold your ground at all."

Zheng Chenggong's words are reasonable. Even if Qin Jun's land battle is invincible, you still have to look at the actual situation.As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, and a hero is no match for many.With such a disparity in strength of more than ten times, it is almost impossible for Qi Jiguang to land on the beach.

"If you want to successfully land on the beach, you need at least [-] elite soldiers. From my point of view, we should clean up the river first. Even if the flagship cannot get through, as long as the Cangshan and Haicang ships can pass, our strength is enough to successfully grab the beach. " Zheng Chenggong said to Li Chen.

"King Qin, my brothers are good at water, so I will lead my brothers into the water, use fishing nets to pick up the boulders at the bottom of the river, and let's slowly clear the river course!" Gan Ning mused.

"General Gan, how long will it take to clear the river for the Haicang and Cangshan boats to pass?" Li Chen asked Gan Ning.

When Li Chen asked, Gan Ning pondered for a moment, he thought about it, dived into the bottom of the river, and then set up the fishing nets, which would take at least two to three hundred breaths of diving at the bottom of the river.Therefore, people with excellent water quality are needed. Even among Gan Ning's brothers, there are only two to three hundred people with such water quality.

The work efficiency of two or 300 people is naturally not high. After some calculations in his heart, Gan Ning reported to Li Chen: "It will take more than a month."

Li Chen frowned. It would take more than a month to clean up the river, which really delayed the rhythm of the attack.However, now there seems to be no other way than this.

Construction is always more difficult than destruction. It took only a few days for Zhou Yu to block the river, but it took Li Chen more than a month to clear the river.

"In this way, let's not delay. General Gan will lead people to clean up the river first. We are trying to figure out a way while cleaning up the river." Li Chen decided.

At Liangjiangkou, Gan Ning took the lead and dived into the bottom of the river to clean up the river, but even so, the progress was still very slow.

When Gan Ning was cleaning the river, Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong were not idle, they were thinking of other ways.There are trees everywhere along the river, such as felling trees to make rafts, or cutting bamboo to make bamboo rafts.But all these methods were rejected. First of all, bamboo rafts and wooden rafts are not suitable for load, and they are not suitable for use in the Yangtze River.

Using this thing to cross the river, maybe the battle has not yet started, and people will sacrifice to the Dragon King of the river first.As for building a small boat, it is even more unrealistic. It takes three to five days to build a boat.

On this day, Li Chen took a team of guards to Liangjiangkou and went ashore, wanting to see if there was a path leading directly to Chanling County on the shore of Liangjiangkou.

However, the two sides of the Yangtze River are full of high mountains and mountains, which are not suitable for a large army to march on the shore. This was rejected again.

"Mark! Mark! Mark!"

"Mark! Mark! Mark!"

"Mark! Mark! Mark!"

Just when Li Chen was about to board the boat and turn around the camp, he suddenly saw an old farmer driving dozens of sheep across the river.

Looking at these sheep, Li Chen's eyes suddenly flashed, as if thinking of something.

"quick!"

"Come on, stop that shepherd for me!" Li Chen shouted, pointing to the old man on the bank with sheep.

Li Chen's order is a bit inexplicable, but King Qin ordered it, and these soldiers had to follow it!

"Crash! Crash!"

There was a sound of armor shaking, and the soldiers under Li Chen surrounded the old sheep herding man and his dozens of sheep.

This action scared the old man terribly, he was here to herd a sheep, why was he surrounded by soldiers!

"Master, please forgive me!"

"Forgive me, I'm a good man!" The old man begged for mercy repeatedly.

Li Chen got off the boat, looked at the pale old man who was frightened, and said to him: "I didn't want to make things difficult for you, I want these sheep!"

"What!"

"The soldiers are robbing the sheep!"

"Master, these sheep don't belong to me, they belong to my master. After these sheep are robbed by you, I will be beaten to death by the landlord, and my daughter may also be sold to pay off the debt." The old man begged for mercy repeatedly. road.

"Old man, this way, we won't rob your sheep."

"You can just send me your daughter!" Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.

Hearing this, the shepherd was stunned for a moment, thinking: "What! Not only do I want my sheep, but I also want my daughter, here and there are soldiers, this is simply a bandit!"

Li Chen glared at Cheng Yaojin fiercely, and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about, do you want to be punished again?"

"Old man, I don't want this sheep for nothing. How about I buy your sheep at double the market price?" Li Chen discussed with the sheep man.

"What!"

"Buy mine, and buy it at a price that is a generation higher than the market price?"

"This business is fine, but let's make an agreement, we have to give cash, and we don't want to make a bill." The old man said seriously.

"Okay, Cheng Yaojin, give me the money!" Li Chen told Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin made a rough calculation and bought these dozens of sheep at double the market price.

The old man took over the heavy gold horseshoe, feeling very flattered in his heart, thinking, there are people like this who are stupid and have a lot of money to serve as soldiers?

Chapter 368 Sheepskin Raft

Liangjiangkou, the camp of the Qin Army!

"Military Master, the King of Qin has returned with dozens of sheep!" Liu Bowen was handling official duties in the camp when he suddenly heard the small school at the door come to report.

Liu Bowen smiled and said: "King Qin has a heart. It's because General Gan led people to clean up the river too hard. He specially bought dozens of sheep to improve food for General Gan and the others."

"King Qin, give these sheep to me, let's eat yokan tonight!" Cheng Yaojin said to Li Chen after entering the naval village.

"eat!"

"You just have a heart-to-heart. These sheep are of great use to me. Whether we can cross the river depends on these sheep." Li Chen glared at Cheng Yaojin and cursed with a smile.

Li Chen's words completely confused Cheng Yaojin.Cheng Yaojin scratched his head, and said to Li Chen: "King Qin, you just buy dozens of bastards. I believe you said it can carry us across the river. But this sheep can't swim, how can it carry us? cross the river?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chen smiled and said, "Don't tell me, these sheep can really carry us across the river."

At this time, Liu Bowen just walked over and heard all this.Liu Bowen was startled and thought, how could these sheep be able to cross the river with camels.

"King Qin, what are you going to do?" Liu Bowen also asked with a confused expression.

Li Chen smiled and explained: "This wooden raft and bamboo raft have low buoyancy and carry too little weight, so they are not suitable for sailing in big rivers. I want to use these sheep to make something called a sheepskin raft. This sheepskin raft is very Light, buoyant, and heavy-duty.”

Liu Bowen: "???"

Cheng Yaojin: "???"

Generals: "???"

Li Chen's words made the people who were doing it even more confused.This sheepskin raft was only invented during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms period, no one had ever heard of what a sheepskin raft was.

"Hey, I can't explain it clearly. I'll make one, and you will understand." Li Chen explained to everyone.

Making sheepskin rafts requires high skills in slaughtering and stripping. From the opening of the neck of the sheep, the whole piece of skin is slowly peeled off without scratching the fur.

After the sheepskin is depilated, air is blown to make the skin expand, and then a small amount of clear oil, salt and water are poured into it, and then the head, tail and limbs of the skin are tied tightly. After drying, the skin is yellowish brown and transparent, and looks like a bulging cylinder.

The folks have killed a sheep, peeled a piece of skin, blew on it, dried it for a month, and smeared it with oil.

Use hemp rope to tie the hard ash wood strips into a square wooden frame, then tie several wooden strips horizontally, and tie the leather tires under the wooden strips one by one, and the leather raft is made.

The steps of making this sheepskin raft are difficult to say, but simple to say.The difficulty lies in the fact that the person who peels the skin requires very high skills, but it doesn't matter if the sheepskin is scrapped if the skin is scratched a little in the process, if there is a leak in the middle of the road, it will be fatal.

Another point is that after all the steps are done, a piece of sheepskin needs to be dried in the sun for a month to completely dry it. Only in this way can the sheepskin withstand blisters and be used for a long time.

But this is not a problem, Li Chen doesn't plan to use this sheepskin raft for a long time, as long as he can have it temporarily.It's too late to dry, just use fire to dry it.

"Come on, go and find me the cook with the best knife skills in our camp, and the cook with the best fire control." Li Chen ordered to his subordinates.

Cheng Yaojin thought to himself, it seems that the prince wants to eat mutton, which brings the best knife skills and pyrotechnic skills, isn't this just cooking?

Not long after, the small school in the camp came with two people from the gang leader camp.These two gang leaders never imagined that they would meet King Qin one day.

"Who is the best at knife skills?" Li Chen asked the two of them.

"I am, I am." One of the gang leaders responded excitedly and incoherently.

"Peel me a piece of sheepskin. You have to peel it off completely. Except for the four hooves and the head and tail, there must be no holes."

"Can it be done?" Li Chen asked this person.

"Can! Can!"

"Eight generations of my ancestors have been butchers, it's not difficult!"

"If I make a hole in the sheepskin, I don't need you to tell me, if there are more holes, I will make a few holes in my body." The group of soldiers promised solemnly.

"it is good!"

"Among these sheep, you pick the fattest and biggest one and peel it for me first." Li Chen instructed this person.

Skinning sheep is not difficult for those who will, but not for those who are difficult.For a professional butcher, this is a basic skill.Don't shake your hands when peeling the skin, be careful, basically it will not damage the sheepskin.
