Chapter 120 The way forward

When Wei Yue came back, he learned that the two sides had reached a consensus and he was in vain to worry about it.

"If these Jiangxia soldiers could command, this battle would be much easier." It was already dark. Sitting in the hall of Liu Yi's house, looking at Lu Lingqi who helped Liu Yi organize the bamboo paper, Wei Yue's expression also relaxed: "Bo Yuan, I heard that the matter between you and Lingqi has been decided?"

Without internal troubles, Wei Yue could not help but have gossip when he saw the two of them.

"This matter has not spread yet, how did you know?" Liu Yi looked at Wei Yue in surprise. It seemed that only he and Lu Lingqi knew about this. Liu Yi didn't even tell the Deng family's mother and son.

Then he realized that he looked at Lu Lingqi speechlessly. If he didn't spread it, it would be Lu Lingqi's only spread it.

"I... I only told my sister-in-law Deng's family." Seeing Liu Yi's eyes, Lu Lingqi turned her head in a panic.

"I understand." Liu Yi pinched his eyebrows and spread it. It was not a bad thing. It also gave Lu Lingqi a reassurance. He looked at Wei Yue and said with a smile: "But I have this intention. I think after I repel Cao's army this time, I will discuss this matter. General Wei is also his elder on Lingqi's side. At that time, General Wei will help him handle it."

"Pack it with someone!" Wei Yue laughed and said, "Then we must fight the Cao army this time and drive him away as soon as possible. Don't ruin the big event in Mocheng. I will ask my wife to ask someone to help me calculate a good day and give me Bo Yuan's birth date."

Birthday and Eight Characters?

Liu Yi rubbed his temples. He didn't believe it. What should I say? Could you tell the other party that he was born 1,800 years later?

After looking at Lu Lingqi who was secretly looking here, Liu Yi thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, wait."

Don’t change your birthday. Just push your age forward for more than twenty years according to your current age. What a big deal.

Soon he wrote his birth date and horoscope on a bamboo slip and handed it to Wei Yue. Liu Yi said with a funny look: "Now the enemy is in front of us, is it a bit unpleasant for us to talk about this kind of thing here?"

It’s quite serious, why did the topic go off the ground in the end?

"How afraid is Cao's army?" Wei Yue laughed and took Zhujian and said, "Don't worry, Bo Yuan, with the strength of my Mocheng and the many troops now, it is not easy for Cao's army to attack in."

"I hope." Liu Yi was not as optimistic as Wei Yue. Even if this wave of enemies is repelled, how can Cao Cao send more troops to resist next time? Even if Liu Bei and Liu Qi's troops are transferred, they may not be able to defend them.

Of course, Jingling is not a strategic location. Liu Yi probably didn't have that idle either and stared at it. But this was just common sense. Cao Cao was already a little arrogant at this time. Mocheng repelled Cao's army several times. If Cao Cao felt that he couldn't hold on his face and was going crazy and he had to fight with him, he could only choose to give up Mocheng. The inflated boss Cao could not afford to offend him.

"I should go back too. The Deng family's sister-in-law is afraid she will be anxious." Seeing Wei Yue leave, Lu Lingqi suddenly felt a little panicked and quickly stood up and wanted to leave.

It seems like I can eat people.

Liu Yi shook his head and groped his chin. This is the ancient times. He had to let go of his own era and follow the usual procedures and start a long time ago.

But since you are going to get married, the family should be renovated, making it more joyful...

After shook his head, Liu Yi began to write and draw on the bamboo slips, but he did not design a new house, but based on some Mohist mechanisms and the city defense issues. In addition, the mother and child ship should also be transformed. Although he could not make a warship, the body size of the mother and child ship should be good, and the baffle should also be added. These are what he should consider at the moment.

The bed crossbow is large in size, but it is not as harsh as the crossbow. Instead, the material of the bowstring has to be thought of and increase the range higher.

After drawing for a long time, Liu Yi suddenly patted his head. Should he consider the continuous crossbow? This thing is mentioned in the Mohist mechanism, but it does not. There are similar mechanisms, but they are relatively large. You can consider using it on a bed crossbow. However, you have to carefully consider it on a normal crossbow. If you can make a continuous crossbow with a high firing rate, it will be a big killer in this cold weapon battlefield.

In fact, the Mohist school was only studying this for defense rather than offense, so it only had the design of large crossbows, but did not study it in depth. The Mohist school advocated world peace. Liu Yi collected these things these days, but he learned more about the Mohist school.

This idea cannot be said to be wrong, it is just too advanced. In the era of monarchy and centralized, this idea is simply anti-social and attractive to the poor. However, for rulers, it is not only unprofitable, but is a major cancer that endangers social stability. Because in the Mohist thought, there is a very important proposition that is to enlighten people's wisdom.

However, Confucianism is different. People can use it, but not know it. It is easy for ignorant people to control it. This is to consider the problem completely from the perspective of the ruler, and it is also the fundamental reason why the Confucian and Mohism were in opposition and the ultimate defeat of the Mohism.

The Mohist thought was too ideal, or it was not suitable for this era. It was fine before Qin unified the world. At least those weak countries welcomed the Mohist family. However, after Qin unified the world, the soil for Mohist students was completely cut off, and Confucianism with official support was naturally more likely to grow.

In fact, in Liu Yi's view, Mohism is better than Confucianism when it comes to social development. Among the Mohist literatures referenced by Liu Yi during this period, Mohism has already had a relatively complete theoretical system in mechanics and optics, such as small hole imaging and leverage principle, which are many years earlier than the West. Unfortunately, these things have not been carried forward. One is because of the suppression of the ruler class, and the other is the limitations of the text.

Liu Yi knew these principles, and when he read them, he was still confused and guessed. In addition, he knew that the results were reversed. If you let ordinary craftsmen see them, it would probably be no different from reading heavenly books. Classical Chinese is indeed not as easy as vernacular Chinese in terms of science, or to understand these things, you must have considerable knowledge in terms of knowledge. For example, Zhuge Liang was like that. Liu Yi was sure that Zhuge Liang had a deep study of Mohism, so he did not reject himself. Since Liu Yi emerged as a descendant of the Mohism family, most scholars in Jingzhou have sneered at him and even secretly suppressed him.
