Baidi Chunshen

Put a few words into the brocade bag, and then leave to hand over and send back to Chengdu with your relatives.

Liu Ba in the room slowly opened his eyes, Liu Bei's laughter seemed to be echoing in his ears, and the warm warmth of the emperor still remained beside the couch.

He was put on the bed and walked towards the building that Liu Bei brought with him.Touch the strings with your hands, but you can hear the high-pitched and exciting sounds.Yes, although Liu Bei is not a literati, he is not as elegant as the lyre.But he is just like this Zhu, generous and clear, so he is not a high scholar.Let's talk about building, who can't think of Jing Ke and Gao Jianli's friendship between death and death, and the love is dry.Isn't this very similar to Liu Beizhi's treatment of scholars.The house is full of clothes like snow, and is willing to take photos with the heroes of the world!Despite all the setbacks, I still have the same ambition, hand in hand with my son, I will die without regret!

...The prime minister is like a piano, and your majesty is like a building.In the past, I heard people say that Liu Gejun and his ministers, high mountains and flowing waters, played the tune of Ya Kuang, and they would enjoy rituals and music.Believe me!People who have virtue, wisdom, skill and knowledge will always have illnesses.The evil son of the Dugu minister, his worries are also dangerous, and his worries are also deep, so he reaches.The two of them, the monarch and his ministers, did not interpret this sentence exactly.

He, Liu Ba, actually misunderstood this hero in the past.But Liu Bei never cared, and smiled.People don't know but don't feel stunned, isn't it a gentleman!

His fingers rested on the strings, a smile could not help but spread from the corner of his mouth, he shook his head and sighed softly.

"...When you think of that gentleman, you will never forget your virtue."

In the autumn and July of the first year of Zhang Wu, Liu Bei personally led the army to conquer Wu.With Wu Ban and Feng Xi at the front, land and water advance concurrently, taking advantage of the downstream trend, it is unstoppable.Wu general Li Yi led the navy to guard the Three Gorges, but was defeated in the first battle. The commander of the Han army rushed straight in, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo, even defeating Wu County and Zigui.When the news reached Soochow, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.Ships from the south and horses from the north, the sharp edge of the Jiangdong water battle, is well-known in the world.The naval army was defeated and the morale of the army was shaken. I really didn't know what to do.

To Sun Quan's surprise, Liu Beifang lost Jingzhou, and the Jingzhou navy led by Guan Yu was completely lost.The Yizhou Army is mainly infantry, not known for its navy.Lu Xun, Liu Ah, and Li Yi have already formed a long snake formation of nearly [-] miles from Wu to Zigui, taking advantage of the Wu Gorge.I thought it would be able to stop the Han army in the Three Gorges.

...How did Liu Bei train a navy that is more fierce than Jiangdong in just a few months!

Li Yi knelt down on the steps in embarrassment, and described the water battle to Sun Quan.

"The Shu army didn't have any large boats, and only sent a dozen Mengchong to fight. The general thought that they were frightened when they saw the strength of our navy army, so he sent a few small boats to intercept them, so as to buy time for the large troops to retreat. So I waited to pursue with all my strength...on the great river, I am not afraid of any ambush they set up."

"I was waiting... as we entered the bend, I vaguely saw a man on the main ship of the Shu army wearing a scarf and counting chips with a square in his hand. After calculating for a while, he raised the command flag and commanded the various departments. The generals immediately rushed forward. , hit my ship..."

"How could a huge building ship be knocked over by a small Meng Chong? You are fooling yourself!" Sun Quan made several cases.

"The final general thinks...the Shu army is really aided by ghosts and gods!" Li Yi said anxiously: "The Yangtze River is fast-flowing and has many bends...The Shu army deliberately lured us into the bend, and in this bend, there are rumors that there are water ghosts hiding , the power is infinite... Could it be that they are practicing witchcraft, cursing water ghosts, causing the boat to capsize. Otherwise, why would the boat capsize, but theirs would not be overturned!"

"You have been a general for many years, and you actually believe in ghosts and gods!" Sun Quan laughed back angrily.

Zhang Zhao shook his head, and said to Li Yi: "The Shu army chose a day with a lot of wind and waves to come to challenge. And Louchuan is most afraid of wind and waves. The water flow is turbulent at the bend, and Louchuan is afraid that it will shake even more. Isn't it?"

"Yes...but the weather that day was only windy. After all, it was not to the extent of a storm. The general thought that the building and the ship would not capsize because of this. What the general didn't understand was that the torrent in the bend only caused the building to capsize and the ship was blinded. Chong is safe and sound?"

Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao: "What did Mr. Zhang say?"

Zhang Zhao shook his head: "I can't understand it either."

Sun Quan stared at Li Yi: "So, all the buildings and boats turned over like this?"

"Two seats overturned." Li Yi bowed his head and said, "I waited to leave the curve quickly. The Shu army then rammed the boat with Mengchong with a big nail on its front. It went smoothly and the speed was unimaginable... so There was a hole in the hull of the Yulou ship, and the water entered and sank."

Sun Quan said angrily: "How can you let the Shu army Meng Chong rush over? All the crossbowmen are dead?"

"The bows and crossbows of the Shu army...it's really paradoxical! There are only a thousand crossbowmen, but the speed of firing is like a salvo of ten thousand people." Li Yi said in a low voice: "The last general managed to get one or two bows and crossbows of the Shu army. .It is a remodeled machine crossbow, equipped with a sight. Once touched, it can shoot all five arrows. The bow is extremely powerful. The arrow is also quenched with poison..."

Sun Quan stood up: "Bring the bow and crossbow of the Shu army and show Gu."

"Yes." The guard agreed and ordered to go down immediately.Taking advantage of this time, Sun Quan asked Li Yi again: "Mengchong's warship is extremely light. How could it knock the building out of the hole?"

"I see Mengchong, the Shu army, has a very deep draft... I think it is heavier than ordinary Mengchong."

"Mengchong warships are most concerned about speed. If the hull is heavy, the speed will not be fast." Sun Quan frowned: "What's the matter with Mengchong of the Shu army?"

"The speed is also related to the wind direction, the angle of the sail, and the speed of the water." Zhang Zhao said coldly, "Zhuge Liang calculated all these accurately."

Li Yi looked at Zhang Zhao inexplicably.What's the matter with Zhuge Liang...

"...Who is the commander of the Shu Army's navy. It's definitely not Liu Bei." Sun Quan waved his hand irritably and asked, "The one wearing the scarf. Don't tell me it's Zhuge Kongming. He should be guarding Chengdu now."

"It's Liu Bei's official order, Liu Zichu." Zhang Zhao said, "I've already sent someone to inquire about it."

"Then what Zhuge Liang are you telling me?!" Sun Quan glared at him.

"Although Zhuge Liang did not go out with the army, he is the mastermind of this battle!" Zhang Zhaodao: "Brightness is better than ingenuity. This machine crossbow and heavy Mengchong were all designed by him and ordered to be made. Liu Zichu held a counting chip square in his hand. , the calculation of how to hit our army's building ship must also be inspired by Zhuge Liang!"

... Zichu is extremely talented and intelligent, like an orphan, he can be appointed, but it is difficult for a non-orphan to be alone.

Sun Quan couldn't help but think of Liu Bei's words.Yes, such a terrifying and sophisticated attack method is not something that ordinary generals can do.Only those who know astronomy, geography, wind direction, and who are proficient in arithmetic and shipbuilding can do it.Up and down the Shu Han, only Zhuge Kongming can do this.

"Didn't Liu Ba dislike Liu Bei?" Sun Quan asked, "When did he start to devote himself to Liu Bei and was willing to follow him on the battlefield and command himself?"

Li Yi and Zhang Zhao looked at each other, but they remained silent.Sun Quan couldn't help sighing.Seeing the guards coming up with the Shu Army's Liannu, he ordered Li Yi to take it apart on the spot so that he could imitate it as soon as possible.Unexpectedly, after studying for a while, Li Yi said that he couldn't open it and had to chop it with a sword.Fearing that he might damage the Liannu, Zhang Zhao hurriedly stopped him, ordering him to pass on to the future.The craftsman came over and finally spent half an incense stick of time dismantling the crossbow, but there was a bang, the crossbow was shattered from inside, scattered in all directions, sawdust flying.

"..." Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, and Li Yi looked at each other.There was a bit of coolness behind them.Sun Quan seemed to be able to see Zhuge Liang swaying his feather fan, and smiled at him: "How can Liang let the general understand the mystery of this machine crossbow?"

"Zhu-ge-kong-ming!!" Sun Quan gritted his teeth word by word, picked up the inkstone on the case and threw it on the ground forcefully, but when he heard the clear sound of the inkstone colliding with the ground, he didn't feel relieved at all.No matter how much you fall, can you throw this inkstone onto Zhuge Liang's face!

Long before Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, he once asked his generals in this way: "Kong Ming, the leader of the Jiangdong Navy, is well-known in the world, how should Gu win?"

Chengdu's spring is full of birdsong and fragrant flowers, and the sunshine is everywhere.It seems that the haze has cleared.Zhuge Liang smiled: "Your Majesty, please be at ease! Since Liang has agreed to your Majesty's Eastern Expedition, he must think that our army has a [-]% chance of winning."

"Seven points." Liu Bei smiled and said, "Okay! Kongming's water battles, foot battles, horse battles, and chariot battles, each has its own skills. Let Gu see your water battles today!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and didn't answer, but ordered someone to call Xi Cao and Liu Ba.After Liu Ba arrived, he continued: "A soldier is like water. When traveling in water, avoid heights and go down. The victory of a soldier is to avoid reality and attack weakness." After finishing speaking, he looked at Liu Bei with a smile.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Kong Ming told Gu that a general must know the truth. Wu's navy is strong and well-known in the world. What's the weakness? Gu is also worried about how to win? But Gu's water, you will be able to find them. Come weak."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Since light is water, we must not know the nature of water. The Wu people's water army has two major weaknesses. First, the Dongwu Louchuan is the main command warship, which can carry 3000 people. However, the structure of the Louchuan It has a fatal flaw. Second, the Wu people have newly occupied Jingzhou, so they probably don’t know the water quality of the Three Gorges.”

Liu Bei asked: "The building boat is huge and very strong. It's unstoppable to carry a catapult on it, but it also has structural defects?"

Zhuge Liang answered calmly: "The ancient building boats are more than ten feet high. It is already too high, causing the center of gravity to move upward. If it encounters strong winds and waves, it will shake and become unstable. Therefore, it is only suitable for coastal and inland water battles. But Sun Quan actually made it. There is a five-story building boat. The five-story boat looks majestic and majestic, with spears and flags on the boat. It is heavily guarded and capable of attacking and defending. It is like a water fortress. On the wide river in Wudi, the wind is calm and the waves are naturally easy to navigate. However, the water in the Three Gorges is turbulent, and the building boats may not be able to sail steadily. Moreover, the Yangtze River in the Three Gorges has nine turns and eight bends, and the circulation in the bends is turbulent, which may easily cause the large ship to capsize while the small boat is relatively stable."

"Big boats are more stable than small boats. It's well known. The water in this bend is so special that it can capsize a big boat and leave the small boat unharmed?" Liu Bei wondered.

"Yes." Zhuge Liang said: "This is the water quality of the bend in the Three Gorges, also known as the circulation. The ancients said: 'Confucius looked at Luliang, hanging water forty
