Li Yuguo looked back and found that Mu Xisha had appeared. Mu Xisha's face was covered with a veil. It seemed that not many people recognized her because of the veil.
"It seems inappropriate for you to come out now." Li Hugo said.
"It doesn't matter." Mu Xisha said, "How about this poem?"
"Yes, but there are many hidden dangers. These ships are all connected together and become a chain bridge. If something happens and so many ships cannot disperse at the first time, I am afraid there will be some trouble." Li Huguo said.
"Oh? Then tell me, what trouble will happen?" she said.
Li Yuguo looked at Mu Xisha: "Have you ever heard of the Battle of Chibi?"
"I've heard that this battle was mentioned in the Dajin Fengyunlu written by you, but I looked through history and couldn't find any mention of the Battle of Chibi," Mu Xisha said.
Li Yuguo said that of course. After all, the Battle of Chibi took place in this world, and it was also a battle in history. How to find it here
But now these ships are connected to each other, no different from a chain of iron cables, so Li Hugo explained the details of the Battle of Chibi.
Li Huguo explained that Cao Mengde had newly conquered Jingzhou and his army was at its peak. He believed that he had a large army at this time. As long as he sent his troops south and destroyed Soochow in one fell swoop, the world would be at his fingertips.
However, when Cao Zhen led his army to the south, he discovered a serious problem. The troops he led were basically from the north. It was natural to fight on the plains and capture cities and territories. However, facing Soochow across the river, they had to change their tactics, dismount their horses and boats, and switch to water warfare.
Cheng Yu, the counselor accompanying the army, felt that it was not advisable to let the northern soldiers engage in water warfare, but Cao believed that attacking Sun Quan was to take advantage of his unpreparedness. At this time, they also had 70,000 Jingzhou navy. As long as the northern soldiers cooperated with these 70,000 navy, Sun Quan would never have imagined that he would give up the land attack and choose to send troops by water.
However, the theory is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. After Cao Jun captured Jiangling, new problems emerged. The northern soldiers were not accustomed to the climate after arriving in the south, and often suffered from diarrhea, vomiting, etc., and more soldiers would become seasick on the ship. , they couldn't stand firmly on the ship, let alone confront the Sun and Liu coalition forces.
At this moment, Cao suddenly thought that the boats could be connected together. In this way, the soldiers would be as if they were walking on flat ground on the boat, and naturally they would not get seasick.
But then a fire broke out and the hull could not be separated. A large number of people were burned to death. Cao Mengde's soldiers and horses were all killed and injured, so the defeat of Huarong Road happened.
Li Yuguo gave a powerful explanation, which made Mu Xisha break into a cold sweat. She said, "Oh my god, why didn't I think of it. If there was a fire here, wouldn't it be..."
She didn't dare to think any more and asked, "Then what can you do?"
"Each ship prepares a few bags of river sand to use as fire extinguishers. On the one hand, it can also increase the weight and stabilize the hull. If a fire breaks out, use the river sand to put out the fire immediately, and you can nip the fire in the cradle." Li Huguo said.
"Fire extinguisher?" Mu Xisha was puzzled by this unfamiliar word, but Li Huguo's method was very good, so she did not ask in detail, but said quickly: "Then I have to leave. I will make arrangements this time. The Hundred Ships Poetry Meeting is also to help the Skeleton Cult take root in the capital more firmly."
"Well, be careful." Li Hugo said.
"Okay!" Mu Xisha smiled like a flower.
Li Yuguo was planning to go far away to get some fresh air, but unexpectedly he met the person he least expected to meet at a corner. The person who came was none other than Mu Wan'er.
Mu Wan'er was a little embarrassed. She was still so beautiful and slender. There was a touch of woman's unique charm between her brows, making her look even more beautiful. Her belly was slightly bulging, so she was obviously pregnant.
"Wan'er." Li Yuguo smiled, "Long time no see."
"It seems you know everything." Mu Wan'er said with a wry smile.
"Um?"
"Because you didn't feel surprised, and there was a touch of sadness between your eyebrows. I'm not a fool, so I can naturally feel it." Mu Wan'er took a deep breath and looked into the distance.
Li Huguo rested his hands on the fence: "Lao Bai is here too?"
"Well, here we come."
"Where?"
"I was chatting with the prince, the heirs of a group of dignitaries. Now he is the second-in-command under the prince." Mu Wan'er said, her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but when the words reached her throat, she swallowed them hard. Go down.
"Is the prince treating you well?" Li Yuguo asked.
Mu Wan'er smiled and nodded: "It's okay, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, but... But we have always felt sorry for you. We are more like childhood sweethearts since childhood..."
"I believe that is not the original intention of you and your wife. Moreover, things are unpredictable and many unpleasant things will happen. I don't blame you. I just hope that in the days to come, we can return to the way we used to be. The same, heartless days..." Li Yuguo laughed, but the smile looked very bitter.
"I hope..." Mu Wan'er said.
The gloomy atmosphere made Li Yuguo very uncomfortable. He stretched and forced a smile and said: "Hey, you guys are really fast... You have already achieved Zhengguo now! How long has it been?"
"Two months." The corners of Mu Wan'er's mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile unique to a woman of this age.
The attachment to her husband and the expectation of the child who is about to be born.
Li Huguo was naturally very happy when he saw Mu Wan'er's expression. Mu Wan'er and Bai Long had grown up together. Naturally, Li Huguo also hoped that they would get better and better.
Because Li Huguo has no brothers or sisters, these two people are just like his brothers and sisters.
"When the child grows up, I have to be his godfather." Li Huguo said with a smile.
Mu Wan'er was also happy: "That's no problem. When the time comes, your children can also recognize us as their godparents."
"Okay, we've made an appointment." Li Hugo said.
At this time, there were more and more people, and Mu Wan'er realized that the time was almost up, so she found an excuse to leave first. Li Zhong came to Li Huguo quietly and said, "Young Master."
"How's the inquiring going?"
"I inquired and heard that many businessmen are here. Because the Hundred Ships Poetry Association meets the elites from all over the country, there are also many vendors on the lakeside. They have already asked their men to grab a good seat by the lakeside. Now they are here We’ve started setting up stalls,” Li Zhong said.
Li Yuguo smiled and said: "It's an opportunity, but what about the others?"
"A lot of people from the world are here. I also saw a few of the Feitian Clan members that the young master asked me to keep an eye on last time, wandering around here."
