Chapter 1139 Jin Sheng Yu Zhen

The moon is hazy and the waves of Gebi are sparkling. The breeze is coming, and the water waves are not raised. The lights are shining on the water surface, like golden stars flashing.

Xun Chen sat on the Feilu, looked at the quiet naval camp, sipped wine, thought about what Guo Jia said, and couldn't help asking again: "Do you really have a big ship of ten thousand stones?"

Guo Jia yawned and ignored him. Xun Chen had asked the same question three times. It was not that he didn't believe his words, but he couldn't believe it. Even if he saw it with his own eyes, he might not be able to believe it. When he saw the two thousand stone ship, he had this expression.

A two thousand stone tower ship was no longer new. When Emperor Wu of Han built a tower ship in Kunming Pond, there were a larger tower ship, as high as ten floors. The only difference is that Emperor Wu of Han could only see and not use it. At most, he would turn around in Kunming Pond. When the wind was strong, he would still take it back, otherwise he would overturn. However, the two thousand stone ship in Gebi could sail freely without fear of wind and waves.

This is exactly the reason why Xun Chen was shocked. Ruying waterway transportation is well developed, and the ships usually used are less than 1,000 stones. Even so, the carrying capacity of the ship is far from comparable by land. A deer cart can only carry up to twenty stones at most, and it needs to be towed. Now it is switched to a four-wheeled cart, which has greatly increased its load capacity. A standard four-wheeled ox cart can carry fifty stones, which is only one-tenth of a medium-sized ship. Now Sun Ce has built a large ship of two thousand stones, with doubled its carrying capacity and almost no manpower required. How did he do it?

There is also a sea ship of ten thousand stones. Xun Chen felt his brain hurt when he thought about it. Before the troops moved, food and grass took the lead. The huge gap in transportation capabilities between the two sides represents the ability of both sides to fight for a long time. Once this problem is solved, the pressure on the offensive side of the protracted war will be greatly reduced. What's more, Sun Ce does not seem to need a siege, he has a giant stone throwing machine.

This two thousand stone ship is used to load stone throwers, right? Xun Chen was embarrassed to ask, and he estimated that a two thousand stone ship should be able to load two giant stone throwers. In other words, Sun Ce could completely build a giant stone thrower in Pingyu, load it on the ship, and transport it directly to the battlefield. It can be used within two days and can succeed in siege in three or five days.

If these are true, the rules of the battlefield have been broken, and those who formulate combat plans according to the old rules will be ruthlessly eliminated. With strategies, they may be able to win one or two times, but they cannot change the general trend.

"Where is your Wanshi Sea Boat? I still want to see it with my own eyes." Xun Chen sipped the wine in the glass and gritted his teeth. "Otherwise, I don't believe it myself, how can I let Liu Gongheng believe it?"

"I can't do anything about this. You can definitely see you, but it won't work now." Guo Jia teased: "But you can guess."

"Guess what?"

"Guess where our Wanshi Sea Boat is."

Xun Chen stared at Guo Jia and looked again and again. Guo Jia had no intention of hiding him. He enjoyed this feeling very much. Xun Chen believed that if possible, Guo Jia would not mind letting him see the Wanshi Sea Boat with his own eyes. During the past half day, Guo Jia said he would do his best. Guo Jia took him to see all the things he wanted to see. It was a pity that he had no research on skills. Apart from shock, his real gain was very limited. Perhaps this is why Guo Jia was willing to let him see - if he was proficient in skills, Guo Jia would not dare to let him see it.

Xun Chen felt a faint sense of humiliation, but he had no time to take care of it at this time.

"Bohai?"

"Although it's not too far, it's not far away." Guo Jia smiled.

"Youzhou?" Xun Chen's heart tightened. "Zhuo County, Yuyang or Liaodong?"

Guo Jia laughed. "I can't say this. When doing business, go wherever there is business. There is no certain rule." He put away his smile and looked solemn. "Brother Youruo, a person who knows the times is a hero. Since you have left Yecheng, you must be disappointed with Yuan Shao. That's right, a centipede worm dies but does not stiffen, but it's just that it's not stiff and you're dead. If you don't enter a dangerous country, you won't live in a chaotic country, and even birds know how to choose a nest, let alone a wise man like Youruo? Liu He is not a wise ruler, Xia Pi is not a land where the country is established. Does Youruo want to share life and death with him, waste your talent and drag your tail on the mud?"

Xun Chen sighed softly, his eyes flashing.

There were brisk footsteps behind him. Guo Jia turned around and saw Zhou Tai standing at the gangway entrance, his face calm, but his hands were placing gestures on his chest. This was an urgent military situation. Guo Jia felt aroused in his heart, stood up, and tidied up his clothes. "Brother Youruo, I have said everything I should say. Think about it slowly. Anyway, there are still days before the end of the month, so don't worry. I have something to do, so I won't accompany you."

Xun Chen also stood up, got on the shore with Guo Jia, bowed and got on the car. As soon as Guo Jia got on the car, he pulled the car door and the ox car started. Xun Chen saw it and felt uneasy. Such an emergency must be important news, but he didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow. He also had such a status around Liu He, but compared with Guo Jia, he was not stingy with the world situation. This is not the gap between him and Guo Jia, but the gap between Liu He and Sun Ce. If he didn't see each other for a few months, the situation between them has reversed. In a few months, he may not be able to see Guo Jia for a while.

Xun Chen felt melancholy in his heart and sighed quietly.

Guo Jia got into the car, looked at Xun Chen from the window, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. "What's the matter?"

"I just received the news from Mr. Mi that the general is summoning the army to discuss matters, so I ask the pride to go back immediately."

"Did you see the briefing?"

"I don't know that Zhang Cheng is on duty now. I only knew it when I heard the general's order to summon the army to discuss matters."

Guo Jia did not ask again, closed his eyes to rest. The ox cart was not fast, but it was very stable. Guo Jia took this opportunity to sort out his ideas and analyzed several possibilities of the news sent by Mi Zhu for discussion later. When the ox cart stopped, Zhou Tai took the lead to push the door open, jumped out of the car, and set the pedal. Guo Jia got out of the car and followed Zhou Tai to the small boat waiting by the desk.

An army plot came up. "I just received the news from Mr. Mi that he reached an agreement to change horses with Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan robbed Hu city, which aroused the resistance of the Hu people. Liu Yu summoned the troops of various counties to attack Gongsun Zan. The prefect of Yuyang Liu Bei was also summoned. There is no news in Jizhou yet."

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment. "What do Gongsun Zan want to do? He still wants to do a business without foundation at this time? Does he have the brain?"

Junmou smiled bitterly. "The general said the same."

Guo Jia didn't say anything else, got into the cabin and ordered the boat to start. The collector tried hard to pick it up, and the boat sailed towards the boat in the middle of the lake like an arrow. After a while, when he arrived in front of the boat, Zhou Tai had already raised the lantern from the military plan and put down the gangway on the boat. Guo Jia quickly stepped up, and someone was waiting at the gangway and pulled Guo Jia up.

"The main cabin is being packed, and the general is in the cabin."

Guo Jia went straight to the cabin without saying a word. As soon as he arrived at the door, the cabin door opened. Yuan Quan glanced at Guo Jia and moved away.

"General, Guo Jijiu is here."

"Fengxiao, come in quickly." Sun Ce's voice sounded. Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, walked to Sun Ce who was tidying up his clothes in the mirror, and looked at him. "General, what path have you practiced recently?"

Sun Ce was puzzled. "What did you say?"
