Xun Yan's body was found in Baiyang Pond, and it was soaked and swollen. It supported the exquisite Nanyang Fish Scale Armor, which looked particularly majestic.

Perhaps because this set of fish scale armor was too heavy, he kept sinking under the water and floated up two days later and escaped. Xu Sheng was unable to find his body and could not confirm his life and death, which made Lu Yi's military achievements less effective. Lu Yi was also a little regretful when he received the reward, but he quickly threw the matter behind his mind, wrote a military newspaper calmly, sent someone to the Arc destiny, and then arranged for people to open the city gate and clean up the mud outside the city.

Xu Sheng's navy participated in the aftermath work, especially the river channel. He found two sections of pottery pipes in the middle of the river channel. One end of the pottery pipe was buried in mud and the other end was exposed, laying along the direction of the water flow. The diameter of the pottery pipes was not uniform, with large imports and small outlets, like a funnel. Xu Sheng fought in the Yellow River in the past six months and went back and forth many times, and he understood the function of this pottery pipe at a glance. He was just curious about how Lu Jie thought of this method.

Lu Yi said lightly that the article by the Hengshui Commander Yuan Min mentioned the principle of shaving water to wash sand, and also conducted simulation verification. I just applied this result. The thousand-mile dike was destroyed by an ant hole, let alone the pottery pipes buried specially. Of course, there are also accidental components here. If Xun Yan had not been rushing to complete the construction, the width of the large weir would have been barely enough and not thick enough, and would not have collapsed so thoroughly.

Xu Sheng sighed secretly. In order to prepare to enter the Yellow River to fight, he had read the paper, but he didn't expect it to be used like this. A few pieces of pottery ruined Xun Yan's efforts and Yuan Tan's plan to march into Yuzhou. The King of Wu attached great importance to technology, not only spent a lot of money to build the wooden school, but also supported scholars like Xu Yue with a high salary. There were not many people who truly understood it, and Lu Yi was undoubtedly one of them. He had not wasted several years with King of Wu. Including Zhu Ran, these young men had a much higher starting point than ordinary people. The young servants had become the cradle of famous generals.

He had no chance, but his son still had a chance. Xu Sheng decided that in two years, when his son Xu Kai turned ten years old, he would send him to the King of Wu as a servant.

Xu Sheng put away his contempt and humbly asked Lu Yi for advice. Lu Yi invited Xu Sheng to help this time, which was considered as a favor for Xu Sheng, otherwise the result of the battle would not be so great. However, Xu Sheng was also a servant knight around Sun Ce. In terms of age and age, he was half a generation older than him. He did not dare to be too arrogant. He tactfully suggested that Xu Sheng read more war records and read more articles published by various schools, especially technical. The characteristic of technology is accuracy, which is similar to combat. As long as you find that point, you can achieve the greatest effect at the lowest cost and achieve a miracle of making a big move.

Xu Sheng remembered it one by one in his heart. He read a lot of war records, and not once, and he was familiar with almost every war record, but he hardly read the articles learned from various counties, especially the articles of Mu Xuetang. He felt that those craftsmen from the baggage camp had nothing to do with him, and he could just read them. Now he knew that these articles might be more useful than war records, and he would have to spend more time in the future. Otherwise, before he could succeed, he would be crushed by these genius boys.

——

Yuan Tan lay on Xun Yan's deformed body, crying bitterly and communicating with tears, as if he had lost his parents.

Guo Tu stood aside blankly, his face gray and his hair was gray. From the moment he received the break of the Dawei and Xun Yan disappeared, he didn't say much. He got nearly ten years old in two or three days, his face was covered with wrinkles, and his originally gray hair on his temples was almost all white.

The most promising talent in the Zhuangying Group died. The battle that should have been his brilliant career became his last battle, and it was a shameful way. He suddenly understood Xun Chen's choice. Xun Chen saw Sun Ce's strength and knew that they would not have the chance to win, so he refused to accept Yuan Shao's appointment and would rather be a civil servant in the military farming office of Xu County.

The situation in the world has been decided, but Guo Jia has chosen the right person. His hometown is just around the corner, but he has no chance to set foot on it.

Ju Su frowned and felt heavy. Within a few days, he suffered consecutive setbacks. Zhang He fell ill, Xun Yan was killed, and his morale was depressed. Even Yuan Tan and Guo Tu were in chaos. It was unrealistic to continue attacking Yuzhou.

What to do next? Ju Su, who has always been resourceful, has no idea. Since sending troops, every step has been unexpected. The plan has been changed again and again. Now it has been beyond recognition. Even he doesn't know which direction to go.

Why did the two young men who had just started fighting have such amazing performances? Is it accidental or inevitable? What kind of abilities does Sun Ce have? How many such talents are there? The construction of a martial arts lecture hall gave him a large number of Quhou and a middle and lower-level generals of the Tun chief. Now there are also amazing generals. With excellent military equipment, who can stop him?

Only one factor that can determine how far he goes: food. Once he has enough food, he will be rampant in the world and no one can match it.

Ju Su suddenly shivered and his face changed. Sun Ce might not have enough food to expedition to Jizhou for the time being, but Yanzhou was within his army. After the Yuzhou soldiers crossed the Sui River, they could push the front line to Yanzhou. The navy could cut off the river, and Taishi Ci from Liaodong could cross the sea, enter Qingzhou at any time, and encircle the rear. Attacks from front and back, even if they didn't attack, they would be trapped here.

Ju Su took a step forward and helped Yuan Tan up to mourn the body. "I'm sorry, please feel sorry. Now is not the time to be sad."

Yuan Tan swallowed his voice and said, "Don't you have the opportunity to do anything, is there anything you can do? Even though Xiu will die, I will still cry. Who will cry tomorrow?"

"So you can't die." Ju Su smiled bitterly and said, "Although you can't attack, you can still defend it. No matter how bad you are... you can surrender."

Yuan Tan was stunned, opened his tears and looked at Ju Su suspiciously. "...Submit?"

Guo Tu suddenly came to his senses, moved his feet and was about to step forward, but he held it back. Surrender might be a way - with Guo Jia mediated from it, he could at least save his life, and maybe he could be valued. Wasn't Xun Chen promoted to the Central Army of the Military Field Army? But surrender was not a simple matter. There were too many issues involved, especially the land that the Jizhou family valued most. If you talk well, surrender was just a plan to seek completeness. If you don't talk well, it might be that everyone is betrayal of relatives and people inside and outside.

Especially Yuan Xi is still in Jizhou. If the Jizhou family refuses to surrender and decides to support Yuan Xi, then Yuan Tan's prospects will be worrying. The Jizhou army, whose 200,000 troops are shaken, may mutiny at any time. In addition, the imperial court and Liu Bei on the side, everything may happen. The emperor's appointment of Liu Bei as the left general is a dangerous signal, indicating that the emperor has lost confidence in Yuan Tan and joined forces with Liu Bei. Liu Bei only has half of Youzhou, which is not enough to fight against Sun Ce. He is likely to take advantage of the chaos to plot against Jizhou.

If you are worried about internal and external troubles, you will die without a place to bury yourself if you are not careful.
