With water drops, is it water that wins, or stone that wins?
It's all right, it's people who win.
Water and stone, in most cases, have no sense of winning or losing, just like the motivated people, whose words and deeds are really the reactions of their true will?
Cui Hou was sweating and rushed to Cui Jun's hall. Then, seeing Chen Rui, the prefect of the County, beside Cui Jun, was stunned and immediately bowed and said that he was reckless.
Chen Rui, the prefect of the county, smiled and stood up to say that he had not finished some chores and came to visit Cui Jun again in two days. Cui Jun also quickly got up and apologized repeatedly, saying that he had been rude today. He asked Chen envoy Jun Haihan to send Chen Rui outside the gate himself...
Cui Hou was also with him, bent down and apologized.
Now under Fei Qian's rule, the original Wuyuan Shuofang and other counties were merged into Yinshan County, which was governed by Yinshan County, while Dai County was merged with Changshan County and Shanggu County, and was the area of ​​the Northern Territory Protector. Of course, in most areas where Cao Cao intersected, there may be two county prefects, such as Cao Cao's prefects, or Shanggu County Prefects.
Chen Rui has now become the magistrate of Dai County. Although he is also called the prefect, Dai County is actually sparsely populated. Compared with other large counties, it is more like a county with a larger territory.
And with Dai County alone, it is obvious that there is no way to do a large-scale development. It must rely on the support and cooperation of surrounding counties. Therefore, Chen Rui came to Taiyuan County, mainly to discuss hiring some labor in Taiyuan...
Dai County was very big when it was big, even in part of the northern part of Jizhou. However, it was very small when it was small, and there were only a few county towns around Dai County.
The shortcomings in the administrative system of the Han Dynasty were also reflected in the fact that the boundaries between counties were basically unfixed and randomly divided, resulting in the local officials having many opportunities to take advantage of the incomplete administrative system. Even when they arrived in the Sunnan area in later generations, there were still local officials who were openly yelling, but they didn’t believe that they could not find any problems and fined them, let alone in the Han Dynasty where communications were more closed?
As the magistrate of Dai County, Chen Rui has no qualifications to make money so far. There is no way. Dai County is short of staff, and even if he wants to repair roads, dig canals, and remove silt, he is too short of money. Moreover, Dai County is also responsible for transporting grain and grass and various supplies for the Northern Region Protector, and has relatively high requirements for roads. If it is not corrected for a long time and delayed transportation, it will be fine once or twice. It may be the problem of the grain transport officer himself. However, if there are many problems in the Dai County section, Chen Rui will inevitably need to go to Chang'an to report his work.
In winter, it is naturally the best period for the renovation, so he came to Taiyuan to discuss with Cui Jun.
To be honest, Cui Jun is not very happy about this matter.
Not all the people in the Han Dynasty were Lei!
But the direct rejection was a bit hindered by the mercy, so while thinking about the words, Cui Hou broke in, saving Cui Jun a lot of effort. However, this might make Chen Rui feel that Cui Jun intended to arrange it...
After seeing Chen Rui off, Cui Jun frowned slightly. After returning to the hall to sit down, he looked at Cui Hou, "Why are you panicking?"
Cui Hou swallowed a mouthful of saliva, smelled the mind, and then glanced at the servants in the hall.
"You are all back!" Cui Jun shook his sleeves.
The followers retreated with their chrysanthemums.
Cui Hou gritted her teeth, "General Zhang of Shangdang was assassinated!"
Cui Jun shook some of his eyebrows, but his expression was still calm, "What happened? Is there a casualty?"
"It is said that he is seriously injured and was recalled to Huguan..." Cui Hou said, and sweating from his forehead, he took out a towel and wiped it again and again.
Cui Jun looked at it and gradually felt something was wrong. He glared at Cui Hou, "At this time, what are you thinking about? Say whatever you have!"
Cui Hou shivered and rolled on the ground, "Brother! Save me! This assassin...This assassin..."
Cui Jun felt that a thunderbolt seemed to explode in front of him, which made his stable aura collapse. He couldn't help but veins appeared on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't tell me, this assassin... is yoursel!"
Choi Hou waved her hands repeatedly, "No! The assassin was not from me!"
『Huh…』 Cui Jun let out a long sigh, and then felt something was wrong, 『I haven't said it yet?! What is the connection?!"
If it had nothing to do with it, Cui Hou wouldn't have been so panicked.
Cui Hou lowered his head and hesitated, "It's... but... that person... had been to Jinyang before..."
Cui Jun's eyes turned cold, "What the hell is going on!"
Cui Hou then explained the reason intermittently.
After being caught by Fei Qian, Cui Hou was hurting her feet and hit her hard, she naturally became a little more restrained, but after all, it was a dog that couldn't change to eat...or cat that couldn't change to eat fishy food? It probably means that it was like a gambler who sweared that he would never gamble, and he cut off his fingers to indicate that he would never drink again, etc. The secretion of dopamine in some nerves would make people addicted and difficult to stop.
Over time, the vows gradually fade away, and then I feel that those who follow the rules are old antiques, but I just know how to open a pawn shop and can't keep up with the trend of the times... Cough cough...
So Cui Hou figured out a new method.
If you don’t allow “export”, just transfer to “domestic sales”!
Without approval, he openly took the caravan to smuggle it to Shandong again, and undoubtedly jumped up and hit Fei Qian in the face. No matter how brave Cui Hou was, he would not dare to do this, but...
What if it is just "domestic sales"?
Can it be considered "smuggling" to the outside world just under Fei Qian's rule?
What's more, what is sold is not first-class military weapons coming out of the military workshop, but defective products and imitations from Cui Hou's own second-level workshop. They are just under the name of "Producer of the Cavalry"...
Can this count?
Not counting!
So, it's trouble now.
Hu Chier is naturally the distributor of Cui Hou's internal sales.
Moreover, the Shangdang Huguan Gukou military camp was destroyed, and it is said that someone leaked the specific location of the military camp...
In this way, Cui Hou naturally felt that the disaster was coming, so he hurried to discuss it with Cui Jun.
Cui Jun didn't care about his calm aura and stepped forward and grabbed Cui Hou. He originally wanted to pick up Cui Hou, but Cui Hou was too fat and couldn't carry it at all. He could only lift it and lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you tell you to restrain yourself! Constrain yourself! How did you promise me? How did you promise me?!"
Choi Hou cried and said, "I really didn't know this would happen... If I had known it before..."
"What's the use of saying this now?" Cui Jun pushed Cui Hou, then walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, and after walking twice, he said, "Who else knows about this now? I mean, who else knows about Je and this assassin... Damn it! Who knows?!"
Choi Hou cried, "Many people..."
"How come many things happening like this?" Hearing this, Cui Jun couldn't stand it and felt a dizzy moment, "You... Could it be you, you..."
Is it life like eating, drinking and having fun? Since Hu Chier is a Hu person, of course he can also get some Hu girls. When he presented them to Cui Hou, how could Cui Hou think of any other problems? He just knows that this Hu girl is so white, big, thin, and long, so naturally everything is good.
『Brother! I want to save me!』 Cui Hou cried bitterly, 『If this matter is known to the cavalry, I... I will definitely be in danger of being protected!"
"Don't worry, this matter is still a bit strange..." Cui Jun sat down, "How do you know... General Zhang was assassinated?"
Cui Jun felt a little strange. After all, he had not received any official notice yet, but Cui Hou got the news one step ahead of him?
Cui Hou wiped her face and said, "Someone came to report the news..."
"I'm here to report the message?" Cui Jun asked, "Where is the person now?"
『It's gone...』 Choi Hou raised her head, 『Uh... Brother means...』
Cui Jun suddenly shivered and his face changed drastically, "Not good! It's going to be messed up!"
As soon as Cui Jun finished speaking, he heard someone seemingly running from the corridor. When he arrived at the hall, he suddenly saw Cui Hou still in the hall. He was stunned and hesitated.
"What's the matter? Report it quickly!"
Cui Jun asked. He knew that since he had ordered the servant to retreat just now, if it were not an important matter, no one would come to disturb him. Now...
"Report to the envoy!" The man bowed, "I don't know when the city was in the city, rumors spread everywhere! In the inn, the envoy Chen of Dai County sent people to inquire everywhere, as if..."
The aura that Cui Jun tried to maintain finally collapsed...
…Σ(oдo)…
When Zigui goes west, it is Xiling Gorge.
After Xiling Gorge, Wu Gorge is.
The gorge is narrow.
After Huang Gai suffered a lot of losses in Zigui, he became more and more calm.
No matter how Gan Ning lures, he just doesn't enter the dangerous areas of mountains and rivers, which makes Gan Ning very depressed.
The Wu Gorge area of ​​Xiling Gorge is almost always towering on both sides. Once large-scale ships enter, a long snake formation is likely to form. It would be fine if nothing happens, but if something happens...
Therefore, Huang Gai is naturally cautious and cautious.
But for Gan Ning, she was depressed and depressed.
Failure to lose, continue to lose, and continue to lose.
Gan Ning put down his figure so temptingly, Huang Gai seemed to have cleared his ammunition, his heart was as calm as water, and he remained indifferent.
Unlike his previous high spirits, Gan Ning gradually realized the difference between the large-scale surface battle and the water bandit model he had in his early years. The more people there were, the more they emphasized mutual cooperation, and the dispatching ability gradually exceeded the personal bravery. Even if Gan Ning could overturn a ship alone, Huang Gai could dispatch other ships to overturn the ships under Gan Ning...
Gan Ning came to harass him again.
Huang Gai successively added bricks and tiles to the old city of Zigui and cleaned up the remains, as if he wanted to build Zigui City into a steel and water village, as if he was a permanent stronghold.
There are small boats outside the water village. They are hooked up with small boats, like soft doors, to block the enemy, but they can also untie the hooks at any time and dispatch internal warships.
In the previous few harassment, Gan Ning did not try to break through the outer defense line of the water village, but only wandered and harassed, but Huang Gai ignored it at all. Even if Gan Ning took a little advantage, he would not send anyone to chase and block it. So this time, Gan Ning felt that he could go deeper. He raised his hand and pointed at the direction of Huang Gai Water Village, shouting: "Let's go up! Shoot me with a crossbow! Shoot inside!"
This order is actually a bit dangerous, but Gan Ning and his subordinates did not feel any problem at the moment.
Ganning's ships are mainly medium and small. The advantage is that they are flexible in steering, but the disadvantage is that they are insufficient in power. Therefore, a bed crossbow was set up in the middle of the ship to enhance firepower.
If you rush into the water camp, just by using these ships, you will undoubtedly seek death, so the focus will naturally fall on these installed bed crossbows.
Huang's workshop, a military-quality bed crossbow.
Gan Ning's subordinates answered loudly, then began to approach Huang Gai's water village and started shooting with a bed crossbow.
The crossbow is not fast, but the crossbow gun tied with tinder oil can easily cause damage to the other party's hull, and it also ignites some sails or other things. If you happen to hit some unlucky people, it will be very lethal. Moreover, the range of the crossbow is far beyond that of ordinary bows and arrows. If you want to shoot ships such as Ganning, you will use a crossbow.
But the problem arises. The crossbow in Jiangdong is a little shorter than the range used by Ganning.
That's right, it's just a little bit.
Although the effective kill range and maximum range are obviously different, Gan Ning's bed crossbow can still contain more kinetic energy when it hits the hull of Jiangdong. However, Jiangdong's bed crossbow can only be shot, but its lethality is much worse. So Gan Ning always laughs at Huang Gai outside the kill range of Jiangdong every time, and expresses his contempt for the Jiangdong navy...
Huang Gai knew that this was a manufacturing difference in military equipment and a lack of technology. However, he knew that it was not that he could just make a mistake by trying to improve it. He wanted to attack Gan Ning's long-range weapons, such as a catapult, but the problem was that it was more accurate than getting up a crossbow, a catapult was more like a tactical tactic, and it was quite effective against large fixed targets, but it was a bit thankless to deal with small and medium-sized warships that could move and run.
『Swoosh!』
『Swish!』
Gan Ning's crossbow gun seemed to be expensive and shot wildly at Huang Gai's water village.
The crossbow guns are wrapped with linen soaked with tinder oil. Before shooting, soldiers ignite it. Although the tinned tinder oil cloth may be extinguished in the air, most of them can still maintain a little flame, and then fall to the ground or pierce on the hull of Jiangdong, which will burn retaliatoryly.
The Jiangdong soldiers in the water camp in the distance began to run, either busy dismantling the crossbow guns that were stuck on the hull, or extinguishing the flames with sand and soil.
Through the crossbows that were stringed by the winch, the range was longer and the firing rate was more stable. However, the crossbows in Jiangdong were a little different, which made most of the crossbows that counterattacks fell to nothing and fell on the water, and only the ridicule of Gan Ning and his men.
The Jiangdong Water Village, which was attacked, did not untie the small boats connected to the periphery.
"General! This time, Jiangdong is a turtle again!"
『Hahaha!』 Gan Ning laughed, 『Jiangdong is not good, he is quite good at being a turtle!』
『Ahhaha…』
Gan Ning's words caused another burst of laughter.
Gan Ning waved his arm and said, "Shoot! Shoot the turtle shell in Jiangdong!"
『Oh oh oh oh oh!』
The soldiers from Jiangdong in the water camp seemed to be running in a hurry, but if you were careful, you would find that these soldiers were running outside Jiangdong, while the central building where Huang Gai was located and the surrounding areas were quiet and there was no movement.
Passively being beaten will naturally lose morale.
Everyone knows this.
Gan Ning and others were all small and medium-sized boats, with fast steering and rapid explosive power. If a large force was dispatched to encircle and suppress, the small boat might be able to catch up, but the big boat would definitely not be able to catch up...
Unless it is a special situation.
Whether it is a crossbow or a catapult in Jiangdong, the range and accuracy of the shooting are worse than those of the cavalry, and everyone knows it.
However, there are always problems, and the people who can solve the problems are the most critical factor.
Huang Gai stood on the building boat, watching Gan Ning's ships spinning around the periphery, estimating the distance.
Generals on the battlefield must have extremely strong skills in estimating distances. At a glance, the distance is almost the same as 100% of them. If the estimation is wrong, then the soldiers sent by one side may be in the empty space.
『It's now!" Huang Gai suddenly shouted in a deep voice, 『Rise the flag! Beat the drum!』
On the Huanggai Tower boat, soldiers from Jiangdong erected a red and yellow-edged flying tiger flag, and then a burst of rapid drum sounded in the Jiangdong Water Village...
When they heard the drums, Gan Ning thought that the yellow lid was about to attack, and he was immediately excited because since there was linen on their ships stained with tinder oil, of course there were tinder oil cans. He found an opportunity to burn Jiangdong again. Although it might not be able to burn the yellow lid, it was also a way to exhale himself, and at least it would be a relief for a few days.
But soon, Gan Ning discovered that Jiangdong did not dispatch soldiers, boats, but instead dispatched catapults first!
Stone bullets were drawn in the air from different places in the Jiangdong Water Village, and they smashed them down in the direction of Gan Ning's ship!
『Buzz! Bang!』
A stone bullet roared and hit a small boat under Gan Ning's command, smashing into the hull with destruction, and drilled out a flesh-and-blooded hole without any effort. Almost all the soldiers hit died on the spot. Several others had broken arms or arms, or were hit by splashed wood chips. I don't know if it was luck or unfortunate howling!
『Crash!』
Gan Ning saw a stone bullet falling on the water surface that was about ten feet away from his ship, and it immediately splashed the sky!
『Scatter! Dodge! Dodge here!』
Gan Ning shouted.
When will Jiangdong have this move?!
This is a range attack!
Everyone knows the range attack, but it is not easy to play well.
The Jiangdong people did not aim at a certain ship at all, but instead attacked the catapult indiscriminately. This not only required the catapult to measure the distance and orientation in advance, but also calculated the time when the stone bomb fell! This is different from the fixed target smashing the fixed target in the river. Ganning's fleet kept cruising up and down!
As long as the cooperation is slightly worse and the time is staggered, the range attack may be either airdropped or can only be splashed behind the cruising Ganning fleet. At present, the Jiangdong Navy can accurately cover this area where the Ganning fleet is advancing. The most critical of the most is undoubtedly the experience accumulated by the navy general over the years and dispatching...
Just as Gan Ning shouted and his ships began to disperse, the Jiangdong Navy opened the small boats connected outside, and then in the water camp, some pointed boats covered with long oars rushed out as if they were going crazy!
Chapter completed!
