"No, I haven't eaten yet!" Yang Gan asked Krisna to take out Zhang Yumeng's portion and put it next to hers, and gave it to him.
"Your Majesty, you are too polite, so I will be disrespectful." Ouyang Moyan was not polite. After sitting down, he ate happily with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Since the rail transportation is inconvenient, the pressure on logistics has increased. This is the middle position of the entire rail.
Whether supplies are carried out from Yuntong or Liaodong, it puts huge pressure on logistics.
Sometimes, even the tracks don't work properly. Yang Qian was not in a hurry and said calmly after Ouyang Moyan finished eating.
"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you!"
"Hiccup~~~!" Ouyang Moyan burped and cupped his hands towards Yang Qian.
"Thank you for the hospitality, Your Majesty. I came here this time because the station manager asked me to think of a way to make the track run normally. Not only is the logistics pressure on our side huge, but also the pressure on the entire track and straight track. They're all big." The lamb leg was gently put down, and Yang Gan suddenly thought that although all the inns grew food and fed livestock, it was just extra food.
Most of the food and grass were supplies from the rails. It was just because there was a lot of food for the campaign that many Yicheng did not submit letters.
Obviously, the current situation is quite serious, and many Yi Cheng, who have a sense of worry, are beginning to be unable to bear it any longer. There is a lot of food and grass in the warehouse of the post station, but in the eyes of some post officials who are more worried-minded, it is completely unacceptable to only get out but not get in.
Yang Gan chewed the remaining mutton in his mouth and glanced at Ouyang Moyan, his eyes full of expectation.
"I hope you have some good suggestions instead of complaining. There is no need for you, a talent who specializes in catapults, to do the work at the inn." Ouyang Moyan said with a cupped hand.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have prepared something." After saying that, Ouyang Moyan took out a stack of design drawings from his arms and handed them to Yang Qian.
"Your Majesty, this is the sketch I designed." Yang Qian took a closer look and saw a carriage that looked like a city wall drawn on the drawing. This carriage strangely seemed to be a city wall.
What’s even more strange is that there is no horse in the front of the carriage, but the horse is in the back. Instead, it looks more like a military spiral-leaf chariot.
Yang Qian clicked on the drawing and frowned.
"What's the principle?" Ouyang Moyan immediately asked excitedly
"There are two rails under the wooden wall that can be embedded into the rails below."
"Three or four horses working together can definitely push the snow off the track." Yang Gan's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that it was not a good idea to let Ouyang Moyan design the catapult.
The expected compliment did not ring out. Ouyang Moyan looked up and saw the king looking at him with extremely pitiful eyes, as if he was looking at an idiot.
Ouyang Moyan was immediately confused.
"Your Majesty, are you dissatisfied with this?" Yang Gan raised his head and looked at Cao Wushuang and the other women.
"You can go and do whatever you need to do. I'll come in after I've sorted it out."
"Okay, then come here early~~~!" Cao Wushuang smiled, took Qingqing's hand and walked inside.
After the girls left, Yang Qian took out a large piece of white paper and started drawing with charcoal while talking.
"Now, I'm not very professional, but I'm really dissatisfied."
"See for yourself and let the horse push it. I know you must have referenced the structure of our Yuntong spiral chariot, right?"
"But you have forgotten that there is nothing in front of the spiral car to resist it. Once it speeds up, it will naturally be able to go anywhere on the plains."
"But now there is more than half a meter of snow. Even if the snow is very light, once there are too many, it will be impossible to push. Not to mention using horses, even if I bring my rhinoceros, I won't be able to push." Yang Qian Pointing to the front of a wall, he said
"If this place is flat, it means we have to fight hard. Why use hard when you can use soft?"
"Your Majesty, what materials should be used?" Yang Gan shook his head and asked
"I'm not talking about the material, but the front one shouldn't be flat. Look at it." Yang Qian wrote quickly. Although the drawing was not good-looking, he still used white paper to create an oval shape. The angle has been adjusted, and it looks like a snow plow from later generations.
"You see, the snow can be shoveled perfectly in this way without any effort. If it is below, it is best to extend it downwards. In this way, even the snow on the sleepers can be removed."
"You should also know that the reason why the packhorse can run wildly on the track and slow down slowly hundreds of meters away from the station is the distance between the sleepers. Once the packhorse cannot see it, it will be troublesome." Ouyang Mo Yan held the drawing and stared at it. After a long time, he stared at Yang Qian. He suddenly realized that his eyes were too sharp and lowered his head.
"Your Majesty, this design is truly timeless and outstanding."
"Don't flatter me. Remember to use oxen when the time comes, not horses. Otherwise, you won't be able to hold on until you reach the next station."
"No!" Ouyang Moyan ecstatically walked out with the design drawings in hand. When he stood at the door, he suddenly came back to his senses and cupped his hands towards Yang Qian.
"Your Majesty, I have learned a lesson!"
"The sage said: When three people are walking together, there must be one teacher from me. There must be advantages in others. As long as we are good at learning and using them, we can learn by analogy and improve ourselves." After Ouyang Moyan deeply handed over to Yang Qian, he quickly headed outside. Go.
Yang Gan breathed a sigh of relief. It was much easier to fool these people in their early twenties than to fool those wives who had one foot on the coffin.
Arriving at the back tent, Krisna asked hurriedly
"Yang Gan, when are you going back?" Yang Gan asked angrily.
"Go back? Go back to Mao. The track is almost paralyzed. Now the logistics are almost all transported from the straight road. Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but it also reduces the efficiency of the whole thing countless times."
"Of course, if you want to go back now, you can only take the straight road. It is estimated that the snow has almost melted just now." The road of more than 1,000 miles long cannot be reached in less than ten days and a half, so we still go out with all our strength. If it's slow, it will take a month.
It's nothing like the track. It arrived in five or six days. Not to mention comfortable, at least in terms of speed, it's completely straight.
Krisna lay down directly on the bed in depression and hammered twice hard. Yang Gan smiled.
"You know your home is better. It's been almost a year and a half since we came out this time. I seem to have already felt the warmth of my home."
"It's a pity that this place is not interesting at all. I also want to go home, but now, there is no way. However, Ouyang Moyan has already gone to develop weapons for shoveling snow, so we probably won't have to wait for a long time."
"I'll take advantage of this time to get everything done in Liaodong. In this way, once the track is opened, we can go back directly." Krisnachi said
"It seems that the carriages for transporting personnel are not very perfect now. What should we do with so many soldiers?" Yang Gan pursed his lips and thought again and again.
"I don't care about anything else. Five hundred or even a thousand people must be deployed to protect me. As for the others, they will be stationed in Liaodong. I still need to think about the follow-up arrangements." After being ambushed, Yang Qian was extremely insecure, especially The one who protects himself.
I used to think that being alone was fine, and I could go wherever I wanted, but now, haha, someone was about to put a knife to my neck.
The problem in Liaodong cannot be solved by simply garrisoning troops. Yang Gan feels that it should be done in the most cautious manner.
Even if the troops are stationed, they cannot be too many. The current situation in the Central Plains is unremarkable. It looks calm, but in fact there is an undercurrent surging below.
It's like a powder keg. No one knows when it will explode. Who will be hit after the explosion? Who can guarantee it?
Yang Qian feels that the best way to cope with all changes is to remain unchanged. If the enemy does not move, I will not move. If the enemy moves, I will not move and see what you can do to me.
Hey, I just won’t move, you hit me. Anyway, on our own territory, whether it is Shang Guo or the coalition forces of Shang Guo and Liao Guo, they will come from Yanggu Pass to fight me.
Yanggu Pass is being repaired almost every year, and after it was established as a county, there are more and more military households here. Although there are no specialty products, it can't help the defenders who have a little money and have purchasing power.
The merchants were like sharks smelling the smell of blood, rushing towards Yanggu Pass. The excitement of Yanggu Pass now is evident.
With more merchants, there will be no shortage of craftsmen in the handicraft industry, and in disguise there will be a lot of materials. Over the years, the city has been repaired almost twice every year. The current Yanggu Pass can be said to be impregnable, let alone hundreds of thousands of troops.
Yang Qian could just pat his chest and say, if there are not a million people, whoever comes will die. When the garrison can reach more than 200,000, let alone one million, even if the three major vassal states come to attack you, you will not be afraid. At most, you will be a coward. The other vassal states are now poor.
Yang Gan is also poor. Yang Gan is now poor and only has food and grass. If there are vassal states that must destroy Xia or Yang Qian, there is only a chance now, when the entire Liaodong Plain is developed.
Food and grass will no longer be a problem for the Xia Kingdom, and there will only be more and more food. When the time comes, let alone the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms, Yang Qian will be able to defend it until the end of time.
We consume food with them every day, who is afraid of whom? They can even drink ice-cold sour plum soup at the top of the city in summer, and eat hot pot at the top of the city in winter, which will make them craving for food.
It has been said that in the art of war, attacking the heart is the most important thing.
"Forget it, Yang Qian, let's do this. We can't go back now anyway. Our place is just a small camp. It's temporary. We only built it to save you."
"Since we won't be able to go back for a while, let's go to the main camp. Wanbao people are there, and some of our daily equipment are also placed there. There is only one wooden barrel here. I want to open it. I can’t do it even if I have to endure it.”
"Yes, it's very spacious over there, just like here. Look, Ran Jing sleeps in an ordinary tent. He is the most handsome man under your command. If you do this, be careful of him being wronged."
