"A craft to make a living?" Shamoko was agitated when he heard it, and he quickly asked happily: "Is it difficult? My people are not very smart."

Lan Tian smiled: "It's actually very simple. I just use ropes to grow kelp on the beach. I will collect the kelp grown for military use, so I don't worry about lack of sales."

"No... I've eaten kelp before. It's quite expensive, right? Can you grow it yourself?" Samoko looked confused.

Gao Shun patted him on the shoulder, with a relaxed expression: "Can there be any truth to what you said? I saw that your husband had planted corn, rice, mushrooms and other things, but he had never planted kelp. This was the first time in the world that Wuxi Man

It’s a stroke of luck.”

Samokona bowed his head and said, "Thank you sir for the gift..."

"General Sha, there's no need to be like this. This is what I should do." Lan Tian quickly helped Shamoko up.

While everyone was chatting, Lieutenant General Xu Shuang had ordered the trapped troops to line up and wait for Gao Shun's order to return to Guangzhou.

"Sir, if you still want to chat for a while, I will take the soldiers back to the station to settle down first?" Gao Shun asked for instructions.

"Let's go together when we're all here..." Before Lan Tian could finish his words, a shout suddenly came from behind.

Lan Tian looked back and saw that several sailors from Li Yi were carrying two vehicles off the ship.

"Father, what kind of car is this? Did you make it for Old Uncle Lu?" Lan Yuan's face was full of curiosity.

Lan Tian frowned and stared, not knowing what Li Yi was doing, "Let's go take a look."

Lan Yuan, a young man with quick steps, arrived at the side of the two cars first and couldn't help but look at Lu Tie's new car.

I saw that the square carriage was half a person high, had four wooden wheels, no roof, and was wrapped with metal sheets.

"There's enough room for three or four people in the carriage, but Uncle Lu can't fit even one person." Lan Yuan couldn't help but wonder.

"General Li, what is this?" Lan Tian looked confused.

Li Yi scratched his head and replied, "General Xu asked me to put it on the ship. I don't know the specific purpose."

Xu Shuang came over after hearing the news and explained to everyone with a smile: "This is the loot captured by General Zhang when he conquered Jiangxia. It is said that it was a tiger-shooting cart made by Sun Quan. He asked me to bring it back to you as a gift..."

"Yide gave me the tiger-shooting cart? I don't have the hobby of hunting like Sun Quan. Do you want me to set up a museum for people to visit?" Lan Tian said to himself, very confused.

Xu Shuang replied: "When General Zhang interrogated the prisoners, he heard that Sun Quan had asked Yu Fan to predict the war. One of the hexagrams was 'a gentleman gains public opinion, and a villain peels off his hut.' The three generals may have thought that you were a gentleman, but you lost the city."

Sun Quan is a villain..."

"Is it so straightforward... A gentleman has to drive, so you really want to give me two cars? But it's useless for me to keep these things." Lan Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Father, can you give it to your child?" Lan Yuan showed a happy expression.

Lan Tian looked at Lan Yuan with vigilance and said in a deep voice: "Laozi said, 'The five colors make one blind; the five tones make one deaf; the five tastes make one's mouth refreshed; galloping and hunting make one's heart go crazy; rare goods make one's way.'

Going on a safari to kill your fighting spirit, Boyang wants the tiger-shooting cart for his own use, or does he want to give it to Lu Tie?"

Lan Yuan was startled when he heard this, and quickly explained: "The compartment of this tiger-shooting cart is too big, and it requires two horses to be used. I don't think it is as useful as old Uncle Lu's current wooden cart.

Do you think this car, wrapped in iron sheets, can be improved and used as a chariot? If there are more of them, it can also be used as a temporary fortification, which can not only prevent the cavalry from rushing into the battle, but also withstand stray arrows and bows and arrows."

Lan Tian and Gao Shun looked at each other and thought that Lan Yuan's idea might be feasible.

Chariots could only be used in broad plains, so they were slowly replaced by mobile cavalry, but the combat mode of chariots did not completely disappear.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there were also light vehicles, military vehicles, baggage vehicles, etc. Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty also made sidecars for combat.

"Boyang's idea is very good. Later, you can send the tiger-shooting cart to the craftsman area. First, discuss the drawings with the craftsmen and draw the first draft. Then I will check it for you."

Lan Tianxin said that it really didn't work, so he tinkered with the drawings of a sidecar, which might be of great use during the Northern Expedition.

"Wei." Lan Yuan was overjoyed.

Lantian followed the order and returned to the city, and the soldiers of each battalion lined up and moved forward.

Shamoko led the barbarian troops to clear the way, followed closely by the trapped troops of Lan Tian and Gao Shun, and the last was Li Yi's navy.

This combination is very similar to the time when we came to rescue Panyu. At that time, the barbarian soldiers opened the way, and the trapped troops followed behind, which put great pressure on the scholars.

When I left last year, Xiao Lanqing was a month shy of turning three years old. She has changed a lot after not seeing her for several months, and now she has become Lu Lingqi's little follower.

As soon as Lan Tian walked into the courtyard gate, Lan Qing called her father sweetly, and then jumped into Lan Tian's arms.

Compared to Lan Yuan and Lan Ji's two sons, Lan Tian dotes on this daughter quite a bit.

"Qing'er, if you don't come down yet, your father is tired from traveling far away. If you want to hold him, let me hold him." Lu Lingqi reminded in a deep voice.

"Well... no, my father is a general, so there is no problem in holding Qing'er..." Xiao Lanqing pouted her pink lips and refused. After she finished speaking, she used her little hands to grab Lan Tian's beard.

Seeing Lu Lingqi's beautiful brows frowning slightly, Lan Tian smiled and shook his head gently: "It's been a boat trip all the way, what's the point of being tired? I haven't hugged my daughter for several months, so I can hug her as much as I can today."

"You told me before that I should be hugged less, Boyang. Zhongling went to the ground to play very early. How can anyone who is more than three years old still need to be hugged by his parents? Husband, you are not satisfied with your words." Lu Lingqi pretended to complain.

"Daughter...it doesn't matter...if Xiaojun likes it, I will give you a hug tonight..." Lan Tian joked with a smile.

Lu Lingqi's pretty face turned red, and several maids nearby had already hid. She rolled her eyes at Lan Tian and said angrily: "They say that older men are more stable. How come you don't hold back your words? Fortunately, Boyang didn't come back with you."

."

"Xiao Qing'er doesn't understand what's important between husband and wife." Lan Tian rolled his eyes downwards and found that Lan Qing was tugging on his beard and was playing with great enthusiasm, completely ignoring the two of them playing.

"Where did Boyang go?" Lu Lingqi changed the topic.

"The casualties of the trapped army were not small this time. The number of people killed in the battle alone reached over a thousand. Bo Ping wants to provide compensation and resettlement to the fallen soldiers today. I asked Boyang to go over and help..." Lan Tian replied seriously.

Lu Lingqi nodded lightly, "Thief Cao should not be underestimated. I remember that my husband fought with Jiangdong before, and the casualties in each battle were no more than a hundred people. Bo Ping treats the two brothers like his nephews, and it is right for him to help."

"How can the Jiangdong rats compare with Cao's army? Sun Zhongmou couldn't even clear out the Shanyue in Yangzhou, how could he be the opponent of the trapped army? Gao Boping also planned to train some new soldiers, so in addition to the more than 3,000 casualties, there were nearly 2,000 soldiers who needed to be discharged

A." Lan Tian continued.

"There are so many people? How do you plan to arrange them?" Lu Lingqi's face became solemn.

"Each county needs a large number of manpower. These people have blood on their bodies, so they can carry out government decrees and manage the place for me. In addition, I have an idea, but I have to discuss it with my brother-in-law." Lantian said solemnly.

"What's the idea?"
