"General Meng, look at those shelves, what do they look like?"

Meng Yan looked in the direction pointed by Feng Duhu and blurted out:

"When I look around, I always feel like a ship."

You don't even need to look at it, it just looks like a ship.

What made Meng Yan feel strange was that those wooden frames looked like ships, but they were not ships.

Of course, it is not that ships have not been built these days, but real ships are not the same as those frames set up in the water.

Feng Duhu nodded, pointed to the stone cannon that was beginning to take shape, and asked:

"General Meng thinks, if those stone cannons are mounted on those racks, can they be more powerful?"

Meng Yan, who had been thinking for many days but could not figure out the use of these wooden shelves, looked at Feng Duhu in great surprise.

"Zhongduhu, you mean to move the stone cannons to these shelves?"

There was disbelief in his tone, causing him to stutter a little.

He finally understood why stone cannons were not built in Dali.

But……

Why?

Picture what?

If the stone cannon is made larger and placed on the shore, wouldn't it be more powerful?

Isn't this unnecessary?

Feng Duhu seemed to have noticed Meng Yan's confusion. He first moved his body and adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable.

Then he said leisurely:

"General Meng, to be honest, if Lu Xun hadn't written to me personally, asking me to come, I would have been too lazy to move to such a mere Caoqiao Pass."

If it had been anyone else, it would have been too loud.

But since Feng Duhu said this, it is natural.

After all, Caoqiao Pass is not a Wuguan Pass. The Han Dynasty has unique siege weapons and elite warriors who dare to fight. In addition, there is the cooperation of Lu Xun in the south.

As long as a qualified general comes and grinds it slowly, it may not be impossible - as long as Lu Xun can really capture Xiangyang.

And if Lu Xun had not captured Xiangyang, then there was no need for the Han to capture Caoqiao Pass at this time.

Therefore, if Lu Xun hadn't invited the mighty Hanzhong Protector and unified the internal and external military, how many people would have been able to invite him?

"The Central Capital protects the tiger's power, who doesn't know that?"

Meng Yan quickly praised him.

Feng Duhu laughed and scolded:

"I'm talking about business, I don't want you to flatter me."

"What is flattery?"

"You are just flattering me now."

Meng Yan laughed dryly again.

Feng Duhu also stopped changing the subject and continued what he said before:

"You heard me right. I asked them to make these racks just to test in actual combat what kind of effect the stone cannon would have if it were fired on the ship."

As for why it is not a real ship, of course it is because the Han Dynasty has not yet fully digested Wu's shipbuilding technology.

Moreover, those students have not yet returned to China, let alone their boating skills.

There is also Dan Shui, no matter how it churns, it can't compare to the great river.

So it can only be a half-water, half-land, fixed actual combat test.

Take it step by step, don't rush.

Wouldn’t future generations of aircraft carriers also build models on land first?

At least we can collect some data in advance, and at the same time let the gunner feel the feel of water ejection in advance.

But to Meng Yan, the point is not this, but...

"Ojiang? This is..."

He originally just wanted to come over and talk to Feng Duhu about the waste, but unexpectedly he seemed to hear explosive news.

"It's the big river, what's the matter?" Feng Duhu said matter-of-factly, "If the great Han wants to unify the world and realize the Three Stars, shouldn't he cross the river?"

Of course, we also have to cross the river.

But with Wu's shipbuilding and ship-operating skills, even if they could only learn half of it, plus Tongguan, Wuguan were all in the hands of the Han.

It was already impossible for Wei State to use the river to stop the Han Dynasty from advancing eastward.

So the main thing is to cross the river.

That's right, it was Wu Kou who was beaten.

Feng Duhu pointed to the other side, "I won't get too involved in how to attack Caoqiao Pass this time. I'll leave it to you and General Ju to do the details."

"I am here just to let those students and the engineering camp create test data."

Upon hearing this, Meng Yan was excited and said without thinking:

"It is enough for the flag of the Central Protector to be erected here!"

Feng Duhu couldn't help laughing again and pointed at Meng Yan:

"Stop flattering me! Are you finished asking? Just go back to work after asking."

Meng Yan chuckled, stood up, bowed politely to Feng Duhu, then turned around and left.

After walking out of the pergola and back under the scorching sun, Meng Yan looked relaxed and even had the mood to look up at the sky.

Jufu, who had been watching from a distance for a long time, came over, took a look at the pergola in the distance, and then asked:

"What did you say to the Central Protector? I'll see how happy you are."

Meng Yan and Ju Fu guard Wuguan together. They have worked together for almost three years and have long been familiar with each other.

Hearing Jufu's question, Meng Yan chuckled without trying to hide his comfortable mood.

It’s just that what he said was a little unclear:

"There is hope for the great man of Sanxing. Can you not be happy?"

Jufu looked Meng Yan up and down:

"The Han Dynasty has been in the old capital for several years. Is it possible that you only now know that there is hope for the Han Dynasty to prosper?"

Meng Yan giggled again and said nothing.

Brother Ju, that's because you haven't worked with the Central Protector in the early years...

The prime minister likes to be upright and use his power to suppress others.

That Feng Gui... Bah, no, the Central Protector is known for his cunning.

There is no way, from the day Feng Guiwang came out of the mountain, he has been stepping on the bones of Nanzhong.

Moreover, Meng Yan has never forgotten the incident of crossing the border.

Unexpectedly, after having a conversation with the Central Protector, I realized that I was looking at people from a certain perspective.

The Prime Minister indeed did not pick the wrong person. Given time, Zhongduhu will definitely be able to carry on the Prime Minister's legacy.

Meng Yan's thoughts were racing, and he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a niece called Huawan?

Well, I have been away on the road these years, and my brother and I seem to move around less.

After this war is over, we have to find a way to move around more.

After all...what happened in the past has happened so many years ago.

Over the years, not only has the life of the people in Nanzhong become more and more prosperous, but my brother's family has become even more enviable.

Who can say whether the choice made back then was right or wrong?

Moreover, my niece not only married General Zhendong, but also gave birth to his eldest son, which made many people jealous.

What kind of barbarian girl?

She is obviously the royal wife of Zhendong General Mansion!

Thinking of this, Meng Yan felt a surge of pride:

After the Three Rise of the Han Dynasty, who would dare to say that the Meng family is still a native of Nanzhong?
Chapter completed!
