I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 155 Cao Shuang was so angry that he was lying on the bed!
Yang Zong replied: "There are three methods of water warfare, one is to control the boat, the second is to attack with fire, and the third is to use the iron hook."

Li Heng couldn't help but nodded.

Although Li Heng has not participated in ancient water battles, after all, time travelers have richer knowledge.

Water warfare during the Three Kingdoms period was still relatively primitive. The reason why Sun Wu's navy was strong was not its strength in human combat effectiveness, but its strength in the design and operation of warships.

These three points mentioned by Yang Zong basically hit the point.

If I must add something, it can only be done by time travellers, and the design of the racket pole can be added to the Three Kingdoms warship.

This design did not appear until the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it is very practical.

Of course, a more advanced step would be to remove the rotating rudder.

This is something.

"What do you mean by sailing?"

“The first thing is to have a good boat and a qualified helmsman.”

"Where's the soldier?"

"People in Jiangzhou and Linjiang grew up along the Yangtze River, and many are familiar with water properties. This is not a big problem. As long as there are enough ships, I can train the navy more."

"Have you ever led troops before?"

"I have never led troops."

Lu Zhi said quickly: "Although Wen Hui has never led soldiers, we can find someone who is familiar with leading soldiers to assist him and make up for his shortcomings. After he gets familiar with it, he can master it."

"I will write a letter to the Prime Minister to recommend you, and you will stay in Chengdu during this period."

Yang Zong was overjoyed and clasped his fists quickly: "Thank you very much Li Shangshu. I can't repay Li Shangshu for his kindness. I wish to be shattered into pieces."

Yang Zong in history was a very good man. He defeated Sun Wu's navy.

Li Heng actually didn't know Yang Zong. He decided to use Yang Zong because he was too short of people.

There is no one in the Han army who is good at water fighting.

Now that someone is willing to recommend themselves, Li Heng doesn't mind giving it a try.

Talents are not born, they need to be cultivated.

That's not talent, that's genius.

Genius only comes out to one among millions of people, or only one in an era.

Li Heng wrote a letter to Zhuge Liang when he returned. He knew that Zhuge Liang would definitely agree.

Now Zhuge Liang's trust in Li Heng has reached an unprecedented level.

After all, Li Heng took several steps and the results were very good.

Zhuge Liang also clearly realized that if he wanted to revive the Han Dynasty, he could only follow Li Hengti's strategy: to conquer Jingzhou.

Li Heng quietly began to speed up the deployment of the navy, but while the court in Chengdu was still paying attention to the situation in Guanzhong, something happened at the far western edge of the Western Front that changed the entire situation of the Western Front.

On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, Mo Zhezhao sent out troops.

Those who have tried the taste of new salt will never go back.

This kind of thing is different from paper. The experience of paper comes from the spiritual level.

Such as writing and painting.

But the experience of salt comes from the physiological level of taste.

Humans are animals, and many of their behaviors are driven by physiological attributes.

Once you become physically dependent on something, it is difficult to go back.

This is why many people find it difficult to quit drinking or quitting smoking.

On the morning of this day, a moth-covered army appeared outside Xidu City, the headquarters of Xiping County.

There are only more than 1000 Wei soldiers left in this city, and they are still old, weak, sick and disabled.

At first, Xidu City was still resisting. At noon, after the first Qiang climbed onto the tower, the others followed one after another.

The Wei troops at the head of the city began to be killed and retreated steadily.

By the afternoon, all the defenses at the city gate collapsed.

In the evening, the moths occupied the western capital.

Are the Qiang people so powerful in combat? That's right!

The Qiang people are extremely powerful in combat. They have grown up in a barbaric living environment since childhood, and they are natural warriors.

The prosperous Eastern Han Empire defeated the Xiongnu, but its finances were dragged down by the war against the Qiang people.

Then why were the Qiang people suppressed when they launched an army last year?
Here we must clearly understand the combat effectiveness of the Qiang people and the combat effectiveness of the Wei army.

The Qiang people were able to bring down the Eastern Han Empire because the Qiang people fought fiercely individually and were not settled. The most important thing was that their numbers were disadvantageous.

The fighting methods of the Central Plains army are completely different from those of these barbarians.

The Central Plains army pays attention to strict military discipline and strict coordination capabilities.

Since Wei Qing restructured the Han army, the barbarians were basically no longer the opponents of the Central Plains dynasty.

Unless the troops of the Central Plains dynasty are away from home for business, the barbarians can display the peak of their personal combat effectiveness in a short period of time and make a quick and arrogant wave.

Like an army obscured by moths before your eyes.

They quickly captured the western capital.

Since it's so easy, why was Mo Zhidao still unwilling before?

Of course not!
It's true that Mo Zhanzhao is a barbarian, but he's not stupid!

He has occupied the Western Capital City now, but that does not mean that he can always occupy it.

Occupying the Western Capital means falling out with the Wei army.

If Wei Jun comes back, he will face a disaster.

Mo Zhaozhao was now a big gamble, and under the temptation of Xinyan, he sided with the Han army.

If you win the bet, good times are ahead.

If you lose the bet, you have no choice but to pack up and run away.

Of course, moth obstruction cannot change the nature of the barbarians. After occupying the Western Capital, they began to conquer.

May [-]th, Tianshui County.

Cao Shuang has been besieging Ji County for more than half a month.

During this period, he was threatened and insulted many times.

They even brought out the eighteen generations of Wei Yan's ancestors and greeted them one by one in front of the three armies.

Then he greeted Wei Yan's female family members verbally one by one.

But the Han army refused to leave the city.

It's not that Wei Yancheng is deep.

There is no city in Wei Yan.

Wei Yan did not fight back after being insulted, which is seriously inconsistent with Wei Yan's character.

But Zhuge Liang's orders were in his hands. Although Wei Yan was aloof, he listened to Zhuge Liang's words.

Under Cao Shuang's manipulation, Wei Yan was so angry that he almost fell on the bed.

Until this day, Cao Shuang received a withdrawal order from Luoyang.

Wei Yan was so angry that he almost lay on the bed, and Cao Shuang was so angry that he almost lay on the bed this time.

Cao Shuang pointed at the letter and said angrily: "Those stupid pigs in Luoyang! They took the Shu Dog's paper and forgot about the justice of the country! I am ashamed to be in their company! A bunch of stupid pigs! Stupid pigs!"

After Cao Shuang finished scolding him, he thought about bracing himself and waiting for half a month. What if the Han army couldn't hold on?

The explanation given to Luoyang at that time was that the withdrawal of the army should be taken seriously and cautiously, so it was delayed for less than half a month.

These are all basic tactics to deal with the above.

Thinking of this, Cao Shuang was moved to tears by his own wit.

See, I’m the smarter one!
While Cao Shuang was indulging in his wit, another letter suddenly came.

"What! That bitch Mo Zhizhao captured the Western Capital City!"

This time, Cao Shuang didn't almost lie on the bed, but directly lay on the bed.

He never imagined that he had just killed a group of Qiang people last year.

This year, some Qiang people dared to make small moves again!
Who gave them courage!
