Chapter 148 Liu Ye's Suggestion
"Are we too leisurely?" After Sun Ce and Zhang Fei fought, five days had passed. Liu Ye suddenly found everyone and asked.
"From the perspective of war, this is indeed true..." Sun Ce thought about it.
"You can't say that. Bo Fu was injured in a single fight with the enemy general before. Now it's just a period of recovery." Zhou Yu said with interest, "After all, she is facing a level 4 professional head-on, and the two sides have even tied."
If the situation where a shrew had fought in the street before was considered a fight by a general...
But after all, isn’t the thing ‘tale’ actually that used?
Before Zhu Xin traveled through time, he saw someone consulting a lawyer, saying that he was brave enough to chase a robber, but the robber fell to the ground with a heart attack. Should he be responsible? The lawyer replied below: "You were just jogging at that time!"
"Yuan Shu probably won't be very satisfied with this result. After all, we have never even attacked." Liu Ye expressed his concerns, "I think we should attack the city at least once!"
"How to attack?" Zhou Yu immediately became interested, and everyone else also looked over.
"Siege equipment!" Liu Ye said, "City rushing cars, ladder cars, well railing cars and stone throwing cars, these can be made to advance! They can not only ensure the attack power, but also ensure the safety of soldiers..."
"The problem is that we didn't bring these things..." Sun Ce said with some embarrassment.
"You can find a way to make long ladders and city-torn hammers. It is probably a bit of a problem if it is too complicated." Lu Fan was also a little embarrassed. After all, he didn't plan to attack the city violently at the beginning, so he didn't prepare these things that occupy space.
When needed, you can temporarily use siege equipment made from local materials. The principle is probably like this.
On this basis, the cost-effectiveness of the long ladder and the city hammer is obviously the highest.
"I have contacted people from Wanshi House!" Liu Ye smiled, "She said she could help us find craftsmen, but they are not craftsmen who specialize in making siege equipment. We need guidance on how to build them, and we even give drawings."
"Since Wanshiwu can help find craftsmen, why can't we draw any more drawings?" Sun Ce thought for a while and asked.
"The cost will be very high... During the war, it will cost three times the normal salary. Not to mention in the war, buying siege drawings will also cost three times the price. After all, people have to do business." Lu Fan replied.
As the steward of the entire military camp, she is probably the only one who is particularly worried about money, food and supplies.
"Very high?" Sun Ce didn't know much about these prices.
"It will consume more than half of our reserves." Lu Fan said solemnly, then looked at Qin Song, who nodded.
The military reserves are not only for this battle, but also for subsequent military support and basic expenses. According to normal circumstances, it can be used for two or three years, but it will not be enough to spend all one battle.
Wanshiwu actually used this method to tell the princes in the world that they would not directly interfere with the struggle between the two forces. But they opened Wanshiwu, and someone came to the door, and if they didn't help, it would be a signboard, so they gave this kind of compromise method.
One of the three times the price will be paid directly to the attacked side.
It is precisely because of this that the princes turned a blind eye to the situation where Wanshiwu helped the enemy.
By the way, transporting military rations and materials does not count. After all, through this method, the defenders can know in advance the news of the enemy's attack.
However, if the Ji army is surrounded and the ammunition and food are exhausted, then the Wanshiwu can sell the materials to the Ji army camp at three times the price before the money is paid.
"It doesn't need that much, only two stone throwers, and then a cloud ladder. It doesn't matter if the well railing car is there, but one car is needed for the city bus. I've seen the drawings before. In terms of craftsmen, the two people are similar." Liu Ye replied, "It's almost the same for a carpenter and a blacksmith. Anyway, we have a summer time to prepare!"
It is still a few days before summer begins, and the war is inevitable. Before the autumn begins, war will not start for the time being. In more than a month, it is really not a big problem to build a few siege equipment.
The environment is pretty good these days, with woods everywhere, and naturally there is no shortage of wood. At most, it will take a few days to expose the sun, which is the most time-consuming.
"We can also communicate with the city's commercial banks and exchange twice the wood for the needed wood." Liu Ye added.
After deducting transportation costs, the business can make a lot of money, and there is no reason not to agree to this transaction. Anyway, in Liu Ye's opinion, a group of soldiers here are just training and basic alert every day, which is really a waste!
"In other words, we want to attack the city?" Sun Ce only realized now, what about the promised fishing?

"……………………” Everyone looked at Sun Ce silently, and they all said this. Haven't you reacted yet? Oh, not including Zulang, she was only responsible for eating melons.
"Anyway, you can't fight in summer, so it's okay to find something to do." Zhou Yu thought for a while and looked at the other military advisors. Yes, Zhu Xin did not include, after all, the latter had already cleverly hidden in the background board and pretended not to exist.
Zhou Yu swore that this was the lazy and inappropriate military advisor she had ever seen.
In private, I might start talking endlessly. But when I really discuss the matter, I basically don’t see anything he said, as if I just thought he was not here.
"Yes, the loss is not big anyway." Lu Fan nodded, weighed the pros and cons, and found that the expenses were not very big, "and it is also necessary. Giving Yuan Shu an explanation is not good if it is too much."
"After that, how far has Guangling hit? " Huang Gai asked. After so long, he didn't seem to pay attention.
"According to the latest news, Mei Cheng and Qiao Rui were fighting against Zu Rong, and that's what it is right now." Zhou Yu replied, "But judging from the marching map, the two seem to be a bit overly aggressive."
"And you are about to arrive at Chen Yu's territory..." Lu Fan added.
"It's going to be done!" Then the two of them made a conclusion in unison.
"Then we can go back then?" Sun Ce asked with great interest. It would be nice to come here to travel, but we can't go anywhere except the tent. It's really boring.
"If Chen Yu's army heads north, then we probably can only retreat and we can't be attacked, right?" Zhou Yu replied.
There must be a good excuse to retreat. You can’t retreat if you can’t “attack for a long time”, right? In this case, you can only withdraw by issuing the order to change generals from the rear so that you can leave.
When Lu Zhi was attacked by the Yellow Turbans, he was replaced and then asked Dong Zhuo to go there. The reason was that he was "can't be captured for a long time". Of course, Zuo Feng, the little yellow sect, added fuel to the fire, saying that Guangzong was actually easy to capture, and Lu Zhi was the key to raising the thief to respect himself.
