Chapter 40
"Liu Biao has enmity with Soochow. If it was really easy to fight, Soochow would have been destroyed long ago!" Lin Xuan said, "Your cavalry and infantry, Prime Minister, are indeed invincible on land, but water battles rely on boats, bows and arrows." , How many ships and archers does our Cao army have?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao immediately said, "Several times stronger than Sun Liu!"

"Nonsense, what's the use of those landlubbers who have never been on a boat and maybe can't even swim?" Lin Xuan deliberately said in a heavy tone: "It's all about dying! Only Jingzhou is the only one Cao Jun can really fight in water. The recruited Cai Mao and Zhang Yun troops are not enough to defeat the alliance of Sun and Liu!"

Regarding this, Cao Cao, who was already in a daze, said: "I have made up my mind, and there is no need to persuade me."

"I'm not persuading the war, I just want to be the commander in chief of this battle, make some meritorious deeds, and go back to be an official!" Lin Xuan changed his routine and said: "Otherwise, I'll ask Cai Mao to borrow a thousand soldiers, and you send Personally lead [-] Cao's troops, we will fight a simulated water battle, if I win, let me take command and fight the battle of Chibi, how about it?"

Immediately, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Even if you study heaven and man, if you beat ten with one, I'm afraid it won't be enough!"

"Maybe try it!" Lin Xuan said.

Jia Xu thought that Lin Xuan was trying to persuade Cao Cao not to attack Chibi in a roundabout way, so he hurriedly said, "My lord, many of us want to see Mr. Lin's wise plan, so we might as well practice it to open everyone's eyes."

This has nothing to do with war, and [-] troops are insignificant, so Cao Cao agreed after a little thought.

However, he never thought that he would lose at all, so he never thought about whether Lin Xuan would really be in charge of the battle if he lost.It wasn't until a few hours later that Cao Cao was really moved when the men sent by Lin Xuan dived through the warship of Cao's army and almost drowned the [-] soldiers.

He exclaimed: "This, this is not fought at all!"

"That's right, the [-] landlubbers were defeated before the fight at all!" Lin Xuan said, "I made a strange move this time, and I may not win the second battle, but what if the battle of Chibi is lost? Now, can we play a second time?"

For a while, Cao Cao, alerted by the failure, fell into deep thought.

"But, is it really impossible to fight?" Cao Cao asked.

Naturally, it was Jia Xu who intervened to persuade him not to fight. However, after Cao Cao started to withdraw, Lin Xuan said: "It is natural to fight, 80 to [-]. If you still dare not fight, we might as well all fight." Go home and farm!"

This is the plane of romance, not real history. Cao Cao really has an army of 83.

And well-equipped, high morale.

"Then..." Cao Cao was confused.

"It was just a joke to be in command before, but as a counselor, I really need to make some contributions." Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Prime Minister, you plan to fight as usual, and you still fight like that, as long as you adopt a few strategies I offered , this battle must be won!"

For a while, even Jia Xu and Monk Zhang Er were puzzled.

"The first strategy is to fill the river and cross the water!" Lin Xuan said.

Immediately, everyone was stunned, and Cao Cao asked in amazement, "How to fill in?"

Even in the age of science and technology in the 21st century, filling a section of the Yangtze River is still a huge project.In the era of the Three Kingdoms where productivity and labor were extremely scarce, how could it be filled?
"Pile piles in the water, and then use buoyant planks to lay flat on the river surface, turning the river into flat ground. When our army of millions can cross the river, it will be the day when the Sun and Liu alliance will be defeated!" Lin Xuan said.

Then, he paused, and said again: "Pay attention to the fact that the board should be close to the surface of the water, preferably slightly lower than the river, so that it is not afraid of fire attack."

"This can't be completed in a short time." Cao Cao said: "However, once it is completed, it will not only be a marvel through the ages, but also benefit thousands of years. It is worth a try!"

In this regard, Lin Xuan smiled and took out a copy of "Bridge Construction Encyclopedia".

What he said before was just fooling around, but the bridge-building technology from the 21st century is his real reliance!

"But my first strategy is just the ultimate guarantee. It can make us invincible, but it can't make us win in a short time." Lin Xuan said: "We'd better do it quietly at night, and during the day , then build a 'steel warship' and cast a true waterway invincible division!"

"Steel warship?" Cao Cao was taken aback.

"It doesn't take too many, just a few ships can defeat them!" Lin Xuan said, took out an iron bowl prepared in advance, and threw it into the water.As a result, Cao Cao stared, and everyone in Cao Jun was horrified: the iron bowl was floating on the water and would not sink!

Then, he handed Cao Cao a copy of "Steel Sailboat Construction Technology".

"There is one last plan." Lin Xuan said.

"What else?" Cao Cao asked.

"The real navy weapon, battleship artillery!" Lin Xuan smiled, and took out another book "Primitive Firearm Manufacturing and Application Technology", which recorded the most primitive artillery and muskets.

When Cao Cao opened it, he was so shocked that he couldn't say anything.

"Advisors through the ages, the lower ones seek strategies, the middle ones seek strategies, and the upper ones seek to strengthen themselves!" Lin Xuan stood with his hands behind his back and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to fight at all, but I know how to make this one Even if a pig fights a battle, it won't lose!"

How can the insight of 2000 years beyond the times be effective?

Lin Xuan discovered that the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, and it was the iron that defeated the bronze. Now, he wants to turn the battle of Chibi into a firearm against the primitive iron, and use a weapon that surpasses the times to make this battle undeniable!
"Make it, ask the craftsman to make it for me!" Cao Cao shouted.

"By the way, tell the soldiers to go to the craftsman to get [-] unfinished arrows, and then..." Lin Xuan said again.

A few days later, when heavy fog fell from the sky, Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from a grass boat, and then was thrown into prison by an angry Zhou Yu: the [-] arrows were indeed borrowed, but there were no arrows and tail feathers at all, and they were all of inferior quality Even if you add arrows and tail feathers yourself, the arrow shaft will not be straight and will not be accurate at all!

Regarding this, Zhuge Liang in the prison looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "There are masters in Cao Ying!"

On the other hand, Zhou Yu also used tricks to pass the news that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were going to murder Cao Cao to Cao Cao.Cao Cao was furious about this, and immediately wanted to kill the two men.

But at this time, he was not as smug as in the original plot, so before killing him, he specially found Lin Xuan.

"Sir, these two are the commanders of the navy, but I got the news that they turned to Zhou Yu and wanted to use my head for meritorious service." Cao Cao asked Lin Xuan, "Do you think I should kill them or not?"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan smiled and said: "To kill or not to kill, after you calm down, you have a conclusion in your mind, don't you?"

"I still want to hear what my husband has to say." Cao Cao said.
