After the autumn flood, the original water conservancy projects were resumed one after another, and more and more refugees and refugees poured in from the north because of floods and military disasters. Many people heard that Nanyang County not only distributed land for farming, but also recruited a large number of hard workers before spring. Although it was tiring to do some work, many people were overjoyed to be able to live in such troubled times.
Naturally, many people came together, but when they arrived in Nanyang, they were forced by the government to disperse into different wasteland settlements and do all kinds of different things
Anyone who has a skill is admired by the government and has more money and food than others. Even if he lives in a temporary hut, he seems to be stronger than others.
The power of example is the poverty. Those who still have some doubts and conflicts about all kinds of books have come out to look after the family affairs, and they don’t want to forget everyone anymore.
So with little effort, Liu Cong has hundreds of blacksmiths, carpenters, masons and other urgently needed talents, with nearly 1,500 children and the original craftsmen in Nanyang County. This technical team is very large.
With talent, it is easy to handle affairs. By mid-October, the ordnance camp and two wineries had been built successively.
The establishment of ordnance camp made some of Liu Cong’s ideas come true, such as the catapult. Of course, Liu Cong had a bad taste in the name of "Thunderbolt" in the Three Kingdoms game. It should be said that the catapult he designed was very advanced in this era, and it was not pulled by manpower to throw ropes, but suspended and released by a winch with excessive counterweight. This catapult greatly improved the weight and kinetic energy of riprap, and the range and accuracy were much enhanced.
For Liu cong, this is just that later generations have searched some information and seen many pictures because of their interest, but it has had a quite shocking effect on craftsmen in this era.
I have always been surprised when I saw the first batch of breakcar tests in Wang Can, and I was surprised from ear to ear.
In addition to the thunderbolt car, Liu Cong also designed and manufactured another small catapult with craftsmen. It still has four wheel-shaped seats, but there is no tall and long pole. Instead, a straight wood is erected in front of the car, which has some angles with the car body. The bow arm is pulled by the bowstring to hang the net bag wooden pole.
This kind of car is smart and convenient, and two strong men can pull it around. Because it is similar in shape to a crossbow, it is called "God Crossbow". Although it is small in power, it has a large range, which is much higher than that of a crossbow. It is very lethal whether it is a siege or a field battle. It is a useful supplement to a thunderbolt car. Liu Cong is very eager to ship and fight for water.
Although the workmanship is slightly complicated, the crossbow can be produced in large quantities quickly by Liu Congling.
These two kinds of catapults not only need a lot of wood, but also need metals such as copper and iron. In addition, ropes and stones are essential
Good Liu cong is now a county satrap, and these materials are not to mention. If there is anything missing, sending someone to Xiangyang to complain and ask for help will always be available.
Compared with the more accurate ordnance camp, the establishment of the wine shop once puzzled Wang Can and others, and some people were very malicious to guess that Liu Cong and Bu Qu lost a lot of alcohol to their brothers once …
Such an unreliable idea is naturally not the original intention of bretz.
Because this wine is not for drinking, after several efforts by Liu Cong and the brewer, pure high-alcohol liquor is finally successfully produced, just to disinfect the wound in response to the coming war. Of course, in addition to this expensive alcohol, medical camps have been set up, and many doctors have bought a lot of herbs and cloth.
For those ordinary farmers who have no skills, they also have their own arrangements so that they will not be hungry.
In addition to several irrigation canals and dams, the biggest project is to renovate the original road foundation of the county official road to level and consolidate it, which was played in the convenient road war, especially in the line war. Liu Cong deeply knows that he personally led the project to promote it 3.
Don’t say how can a thunderbolt and a crossbow move without a smooth and wide road? The way to dismantle the animal-drawn cart and transport it to the place to unload it and reassemble it is not that Liu Cong didn’t let the foot soldiers practice, but if there is a convenient road, they can directly pull the running situation and dismantle the assembly method, which is really too rough.
In this way, no matter how many refugees there are, sometimes Liu cong has to send Nanyang soldiers to participate in the construction period.
In just a few months, Liu Cong dropped more than half of the grain in warehouses all over Nanyang. Thanks to Liu Biao’s support, Liu Cong was not in trouble.
After all, the bottom of Jingzhou is still very thick.
With so many complicated things and so many exhibitors squeezing Liu cong at the same time, he hardly slept for a while, but strangely, he didn’t think it was a pain, but he was full of energy.
Liu cong’s theory of driving is that Wang Can Pei Qian, a civilian, or Gan Ning and Wei Yan, a military commander, all devoted themselves to vigorous undertakings with great enthusiasm in generate.
Liu cong has formulated very strict measures for the management of ordnance camp, wine shop and medical camp, but these are his magic weapons for winning in the future and can not be easily exported
As time goes by, Liu Cong feels more and more urgent.
More than 30 thunderbolts were built before and after, but they were soon damaged in the process of experimental training because the technology was not mature. This made Liu Cong furious and realized that advanced things need to be accumulated and perfected at the same time, and what he lacked now was to change the number of thunderbolts. By the beginning of December, the number of thunderbolts had increased to more than 60, which finally made Liu Cong feel a little emboldened.
Compared with the theory of crossbow, the number and endurance of foot soldiers are much higher than those of thundercars. From January to the end of the year, more than 230 planes were produced. Although they have not been put together, dozens of them are amazing enough to make people think of the power of making time.
That kind of bowstring is dull and buzzing when launching, and when the stone bomb is thrown, it makes a long whistle and crashes when it hits the ground, which does not show its horrible lethality.
The thunderbolt car is huge in size, but it is not cumbersome. It needs a group of five people, but the crossbow car needs two people. Liu Cong specially set up a gun team, and the number of gun teams is strong and tall. It actually accounts for nearly one-third of Nanyang soldiers, reaching 900. If auxiliary soldiers are added, it will be a very scary number.
If only I had more! Bretz looked at the barracks covered with linoleum, and he couldn’t help feeling in his heart.
However, perhaps it was little wings himself who incited the original history of the wind, and it was not until the first month of the second year of Jian ‘an that the South Jun was dispatched.
On December 10th, the first year of Jian ‘an, Cao Cao led a large army to the south, pointing directly at Wancheng.
☆ Chapter 23 Jade Horse and Silver Gun Tread with Thunder
Liu Cong guessed that Cao Jun was a month ahead of history because of himself.
What is the reason? Liu cong guessed that it was a bit of recruiting refugees. This was a fight with Cao Cao!
Supposedly, since the satrap of Nanyang, Liu Cong has done a very good job in keeping secret measures for his own intelligence, but the refugees in the north and south have to pass through next to Yuzhou first. If the policy here in Nanyang is not better, they will definitely stay near Xudu, and there are still many people sneaking from Yuzhou. There are many people who can’t hide the news naturally.
Cao Junnan is most nervous about Dingwan City Zhang Xiu.
Although Wancheng took root with food and population, it was able to maintain the size of the army slightly, but Zhang Xiu knew that his strength was not enough for Cao Cao to compete. Since Cao Cao welcomed the land to Xu, the general was sealed, and Wu Pinghou defeated Yang Feng to capture Liang County in October and officially moved the capital to Xu. Although Cao Cao later gave the title of general to Yuan Shao, he was still a political department and a general.
What can I do to counter the general Jianzhong’s potential? If you fight, you’ll win, but you won’t be willing …
Asked about Jia Xu Jia Xu, but he laughed quite thoughtfully. "Has the general forgotten who is the Nanyang satrap now?"
It’s not that Zhang Xiu didn’t think about asking Liu Cong for help. It’s just that he thought about it. He didn’t really listen to Jia Xu. He was refreshed and asked, "Does the strategist mean that Liu Cong has the ability to help me?"
He wants to come to Liu Congdang, the Nanyang satrap, but it’s just a fake story. There are only 200 songs in his hand. What’s the matter? I’m afraid I can help even if I have the heart.
However, since Jia Xu remembered him, he must have a reason.
"This is a letter sent by Bretz next month." Jia Xu took out a thick stack of paper from his sleeve and saw Zhang Xiu’s face puzzled. He continued to explain that "there are some other things that come with the letter."
Zhang Xiu took it and glanced a few times in surprise. "But he learned that Cao Cao would come to attack Nanyang? Is he estimated to be in the first month … "
"Is this difficult?" Jia Xu smiled and pulled out a few maps and laid out a few cases to Zhang Xiu. "General, please see him mark these places so clearly that they need to be strictly defended, but they can give up temporarily and have detailed suggestions."
"Does the strategist mean that he has already prepared?" Zhang Xiu saw these more and more surprised.
Jia Xu nodded holding his beard and said, "I’m afraid you’ve already gone to this place."
He said that it was right. After agent Liu Cong was sent back to the urgent military situation, he immediately called the officials of the Taishou government in the name of discussing countermeasures. In fact, he took out the planned plan and assigned it to everyone.
This plan is aimed at Cao Jun’s attack on Wan. Now it’s just a month ago, and the foundation needs to be changed. After all, Liu Cong still left some for himself to increase the flexibility of the plan. Now it seems that it has really changed.
Wang Can, Pei Qian, Sima Zhi and others left the city to raise grain and grass, and Liu Cong led 300 pro-guards to Wancheng first, and Wei Yanling led Nanyang soldiers to sort out ordnance points and select auxiliary soldiers before going north.
Yu Ganning’s 2,000 troops will also take the opportunity to go to Wancheng to help.
Tension soon enveloped Nanyang county before the war.
Going to Wancheng Road, Liu Cong’s mood is quite complicated, and he unconsciously changed history, which may not be a good thing for him to know the future historical events, but it is inevitable and this advantage will become smaller and smaller. He can only infer the future by being familiar with the celebrities of the present era and understanding their personalities and abilities.
