Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

At least in Gan Ning's view, the three five-element ships in front of him are three giant steel beasts. The only fly in the ointment is that although these three giant ships can be driven without wind like Tai Chi vehicles, they consume carbon. If the carbon is burned out, You can only stay where you are and wait for rescue.

Therefore, if these three giant ships want to travel far, they will have to bring a lot of carbon, and someone will burn the Tai Chi furnace. From this point of view, they are not completely autonomous, and they are not even as good as sailing ships.

But feeling the speed of the ship in the sea, and the Vulcan cannons, these problems were left behind by Gan Ning. Ordinary sailboats, even tall ships, cannot be equipped with Vulcan cannons. The recoil of the Vulcan cannons, If you are not careful, you can shatter the plank of the ship. When you encounter a wave, maybe you can go down with a shot. If the enemy doesn't know if there is anything wrong, your own ship will capsize first.

In the five-element ship, the cannons are hidden in the cabin on the lower floor, and the cannons are fired through the muzzle, and there are twelve crossbow beds on the deck. With this kind of cooperation, even if there are a hundred buildings on the opposite side, Gan Ning feels that he can Dry it out, you can shoot it from a distance, and hit it directly on the crossbow bed.

Gan Ning now has the tactics of fighting with the five-element boat in his mind, and he can't wait to try it out.

"There are still twelve ships under construction. There are still two such large ships, and the remaining ten are smaller escort and carrier ships. We have no supplies in the south, and there is no corresponding port. After the ship is finished, I have built another port in Qingzhou, and the carbon will be transported from the big river, and sail from there, if it is full of carbon stones, it will be able to go back and forth between Guangling and Qingzhou.”

On the boat, Guo Jia unfolded a map for Gan Ning to look at and said: "If you want to sail to Jiangdong, you need to take Ruxukou, Hefei and other places. The track from Kaifeng to Shouchun is already being laid. If here If it can be laid down, the five-element ship can enter the Hefei area through Ruxukou to replenish, and the rails can also cross Shouchun and be laid directly to Hefei. Including the boatman, the boat can only carry thirty people at most."

Each of the five large ships can carry 200 men, and the total number of sailors that can be brought is only 1,300. Therefore, it is impossible to use all the 5,000 sailors trained by Lu Bu, and the rest can only be used as reserves.

"I train sailors, mainly on sailing, fighting on the sea and manipulating ship guns in rough seas." Lu Bu pointed to the sailors.

"Enough!" Gan Ning became even more excited. He originally thought that Lv Bu would not be able to train navy troops, but now it seems that the navy troops trained by Lv Bu are not bad. If he adjusts himself, he can go directly to the battlefield.

This time it was not in vain, surprises followed one after another, Gan Ning looked at Lu Bu and said, "My lord, when will you go to the battle?"

"The ship will be built in the early spring of next year. In addition, the seaport in Qingzhou is not there. If you have time, familiarize yourself with the location. Remember that the most important thing is the carbon stone and water. Seawater cannot be used!" Lu Bu instructed two people. sentence.

"My lord, don't worry, you will understand!" Gan Ning said excitedly.

In the following days, Gan Ning lived on the new boat almost every day.

"I've never seen the world before." Dian Wei expressed his disdain for Gan Ning's embarrassing behavior. The boat was built under their watch.

"Now the master of the Central Plains uses work as relief, so that the speed of laying the railway tracks is much faster, but it will take at least a year." Guo Jia looked at Lu Bu and said.

To fight Jiangdong, five-element boats are indispensable, but five-element boats eat carbon and cannot be found in the south, so they can only be transported from the north to the south, not to mention that they can also be transported through rivers, but if you want to fight Jiangdong, you can’t just go there. , so if the five-element ship wants to sail into the Yangtze River, it must have a supply place, so Lu Bu's next goal is to take these places in Hefei, and connect Hefei by rail, so that carbon can be transported as quickly as possible.

Lu Bu nodded. Although the boat was not finished, he didn't need to stay here anymore. Gan Ning just watched. He was going to go to Jiujiang, first to capture the Hefei River, and then turn to deal with Cao Cao. The whole territory of Xuzhou.

After bidding farewell to Gan Ning, the three rode to Jizhou, then took a Tai Chi cart to Hanoi, and then to Kaifeng.

Under Lü Bu's rule, there was no need for Lv Bu or Ma Jun to preside over the construction of the Tai Chi carts and rails. Officials from the Ministry of Industry were competent. After Lv Bu arrived, he hurriedly came to see him and told Lv Bu about the current progress.

It is too long from Kaifeng to Shouchun, and this time the imperial court used work as a relief to call in refugees. It is obvious that these refugees cannot be effectively used according to the previous laying method. Therefore, several master craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry discussed and designed the Thirteen sections of this section of railroad track were made, each section was directed by a master craftsman, and finally the splicing of the thirteen sections of railroad track was completed.

It took a lot of time just to choose the route, but Lu Bu appreciated this method quite a bit. In this way, the time required for the railway across the two states of Yanyu will be greatly shortened, but the transportation of the rails is more troublesome. , for convenience, the Ministry of Industry also made a design drawing, intending to lead out the railway tracks in Luoyang, but this will pass through the Hulao Pass. Lu Bu needs to nod.

"Now the Central Plains has been settled. Although the Hulao Pass is a dangerous pass, there is no war in the Central Plains, and Luoyang does not need Hulao Pass guards. Let's demolish it." After reading the design drawings, Lu Bu made a decision without hesitation for too long.

After the world is pacified, the future war pattern may change. The role of Xiongguan is not without, but it may be much smaller than before. Besides, with the current situation, it is almost impossible to be beaten to Hulaoguan. Its strategic position is naturally already It can't be shown, but this railway track is the main road between the north and the south. If possible, Lu Bu would like to build another railway track between Bingzhou and Henan to transport coal directly. Unfortunately, the river is so fast that there is no suitable place to build a bridge.

It is also extremely difficult to transport the coal from Bingzhou.

I didn't realize it before, but since the appearance of the Tai Chi car, the transportation has become the biggest problem. It's not that it's not as good as before, but after getting used to the speed of the Tai Chi car, the way of manual transportation in the past is no longer a problem. It's hard.

After arranging the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, Lu Bu went all the way to Daze Township, where Chen Sheng and Wu Guang started the incident, and Gao Shun is now stationed here.

"My lord." After seeing Lu Bu, Gao Shun saluted Lu Bu.

"No need to be too polite, how are you preparing?" Lu Bu asked after reaching out to help him up.

"Material supplies are not yet fully prepared, only food and grass are sufficient now." Gao Shun bowed.

Now the transportation of grain and grass is the easiest. After Runan is captured, it can be delivered directly by water. However, the cost of transporting things like gunpowder is very high, and extreme care is required. In addition, the road is far away, and it will be troublesome to transport. .

"Don't worry, this last battle, take your time!" Lu Bu laughed.

The Battle of Xuzhou is the last battle in the Central Plains, and the next main battlefield will be the navy.

"My lord, this is the genealogy, letter of surrender, and land deed sent by the Xuzhou Chen family!" Gao Shun asked people to lift up a lot of things, looked at Lu Bu and said, "The last general dare not be good at it. Go to Quanzhou to report to the lord, I don't want the lord to come first."

"Chen family of Xuzhou?" Lu Bu took the genealogy from Gao Shun.

This Chen family is also the family of Sangong. His father Chen Qiu served as Sikong and Taiwei. Although he was executed not long after, he has a high reputation among scholars, and he is even a big family in Xuzhou.

Lu Bu didn't care much about the glorious past of the Chen family, but judging from what the Chen family has done over the years, it's not too surprising that they made such a move.

At that time, Chen Deng was the most trusted adviser under Liu Bei's command. The ability of the three Chens was no less than that of the advisers around Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao.

But at the time of the decisive battle between Cao and Liu, it was the defection of the Chen family that caused Liu Bei to suffer a crushing defeat.

Judging from the current results, the defection of the Chen family at that time made Xuzhou avoid a war of princes, which is considered a good ending, but from Liu Bei's standpoint, Liu Bei at that time probably felt uncomfortable.

After all, if Guo Jia betrayed him one day when he needed it most, Lu Bu would feel very uncomfortable in his current state of mind, and based on Lu Bu's understanding of Liu Bei, it is impossible for Liu Bei to fail the Chen family.

This is a big family. In the face of family interests, the friendship between monarch and minister is worthless. At first, it was possible to betray Liu Bei and switch to Cao Cao for the benefit of the family. Now it is not uncommon to betray Cao Cao and switch to Lu Bu for the benefit of the family.

Don't say that Lu Bu treats the family harshly, weighing the pros and cons is what scholars are best at, and the Chen family obviously had a trade-off. Lu Bu doesn't know how they weighed, but the possibility of false surrender is not too great.

"What do you think of Fengxiao?" Lu Bu asked Guo Jia, handing the family tree.

"It's not hard to find a reason for the Chen family's surrender." Guo Jia flipped through the genealogy, but didn't look at the Tian Deed. This will be specially measured in the future, and after thinking about it, he said: "But it is not impossible to say that false surrender is not impossible. Let me look at it. The Chen family Usable but not believable!"

After all, he had a history of betraying Liu Bei. Under the current situation, it is understandable to betray Cao Cao, but false surrender is not impossible. In short, this family feels that there is no integrity.

Lu Bu nodded and said: "The words of Feng Xiao are very suitable for me. I have sent people to secretly contact the Chen family to see how they plan to help me. Every plan must be carefully considered, so as not to fall into the trap here!"

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll do it with the Chen family!" Guo Jia said with a smile, he was very interested in Chen Deng.

Lu Bu nodded, looked at Gao Shun and said, "Gong is preparing for the war. It will be spring when the supplies are replenished. No matter what the result is, the army is ready to attack the city."

No matter what Chen Deng's strategy is, Xuzhou will fight, and even if Chen Deng really surrenders, the rhythm cannot be controlled by Chen Deng, otherwise accidents will easily happen.

"The last general takes orders!" Gao Shun cupped his fists and saluted.

At the end of this year, Lu Bu lived with the soldiers in the army. Compared with being at home, it was a different experience...
