Dawei Fanghua

After spring comes summer. If you pay a little attention, you can notice the sparse vegetation and the gradual change of colors. You can even see people on the street changing the color of fabrics according to the seasons.The most obvious thing is adding or removing clothes.

In June, in accordance with the order of the General Zhengdong Mansion, garrison soldiers from various places began to partially convene for drills, and county and county officials mobilized soldiers from various sources.In the south, where the border with Wu State occurred, the number of rangers increased.

Qin Liang is also ready to fight.After just a few months of drills, Sun Lijun's weaponry and tactical training have achieved some success.

In Qin Liang's opinion, the training intensity was not high, and it was not as good as the one-month military training in the military camp when he entered university.It's just a half-day exercise every other day, and sometimes the rest that is once every five days is accumulated, and the soldiers of each team have to take turns.

Fortunately, there are not many new exercises and the content is simple.The weapons created by additional organizations are simpler, just spears, and don't take much time.

The key is that these Chinese, foreign and private army officers are not new recruits. They already have military rules, formations, formations, organizations, and laws are all ready-made. In addition, Wei has been in constant war all year round, and the officers and soldiers also have relatively rich combat experience.Qin Liang gave them some additional tactical drills, and the results were quick.

On the contrary, because of Qin Liang's official position and other reasons, the time cost of communication was relatively high, and it took some effort, and was later solved one by one.After many bumps and bruises, I finally completed the original training plan.

As time went by, throughout July and into August, there were no continuous heavy rains in autumn at all.Qin Liang couldn't help but go out of the city again and questioned the local soldiers and civilians. People still said that it rains every autumn and the river water surges.This year, however, is a bit unusual.

Meteorology can indeed only summarize some rules based on experience, but they are all probabilities, not laws. Until later generations use modern means to conduct actuarial predictions, it will still be a matter of probability.Moreover, from the perspective of large-scale cycles, climate changes are even greater. In the past, there were elephants in Henan, so it was called Yuzhou, but now they are long gone.

In short, although it rained frequently this autumn, there were no continuous heavy rains.

After Qin Liang left Shouchun City, he rode along Feishui (East Fei River), Old Canal, and Shi Shui (Nan Fei River) to Chaohu Lake, observing along the route.The water level of the river has indeed increased, with the most obvious change in the water level of Chao Lake.

However, the abandoned canals connecting fertilizer and water supply are not navigable, and the water levels in various rivers have not reached expectations.Especially for water application, the flow length is very short, originating near New Hefei City and ending at Chaohu Lake. As the local rainfall decreases, it is difficult for the water application level to rise, and it is less affected by rainfall in a wider area.

Qin Liang's mood is still anxious, mainly because autumn has not passed yet, and he is still waiting with hope.

Only expectation will make you anxious.If you know that something like that will never come and have no hope at all, how can you be anxious about being disappointed?
He knew that this mentality of anticipating war was wrong. After all, it was a tragedy of fratricide.However, if this war is bound to happen and no one can avoid it, wouldn't it be more enjoyable to arrive sooner?
Until the Mid-Autumn Festival, the climate conditions remained unchanged.

The governor's office began to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival as usual. The Mid-Autumn Festival at this time was slightly different from that of later generations. Officials often did some symbolic things, which was to prepare a batch of thick cakes and go to the countryside to distribute them to the elderly.Elderly care is the theme, not reunion.

Qin Liang traveled with Sun Li and other officials. After returning to Shouchun City, there was a simple banquet.

Everyone was chatting and laughing at the banquet, and some people were making fun of Qin Liang, which meant that Qin Liang had plausibly said at the beginning of the year that Wu soldiers would come this autumn, but now he didn't see a hair on the soldiers.

On the contrary, Sun Li, who believed Qin Liang's strategy, perhaps because he was very responsible in organizing military affairs, Sun Li personally came forward to speak for Qin Liang.

Sun Li said: "Sun Tzu said in the Art of War that an army has no momentum and no permanent shape. We people in the world cannot call it a god, and it is normal for us to make inaccurate predictions. It is not a bad thing to prepare the border in autumn to prepare for no danger. It is actually our fault. It’s your job.”

After everyone heard this, they let Qin Liang go and said no more.But Qin Liang thought for a while and still felt that Wu Bing would come.It was only because of the abnormal weather this autumn that it was not conducive to the naval operations that Wu State was good at. In addition, it was easy for the Wei army to be prepared during this season and it was difficult for Wu soldiers to prepare for the suddenness of the war. Therefore, the combination of many unfavorable factors allowed Wu State to suspend advance the offensive plan.

However, Sun Li had already spoken out. If Qin Liang continued to argue at this time, it would be a bit disrespectful to Sun Li.So Qin Liang didn't say anything and would talk about it later when he had the chance.

The banquet ended early, and the sky, which had been overcast all day, started to drizzle.

It was a time when the sun had not yet set, but the light became very dim.Qin Liang returned to the governor's residence and moved the draft strategy he had written before to the nearby attic.

Perhaps due to the influence of Taoism, people in the world want to be close to heaven. At this time, in addition to those low and simple private houses, mansions in mansions and temples like to build attics, with two to four floors being the most common.From the second floor up, there are often windows on all sides, providing excellent lighting.

By the light in front of the window, Qin Liang read the slips he had written again.Most of what he had left in his hand was a rough draft, with sloppy handwriting and many corrections, but because he wrote it himself, there was no problem in understanding the content again.

After watching it for a while, Qin Liang remembered that there was still some content, so he called his assistant and sent a message to Wang Kang to bring the bamboo slips from the bedroom.

The dense but not sharp drizzle and the overcast sky all make people feel depressed.Thinking of many people's doubts, Qin Liang was not completely unaffected.Or because he has no actual combat experience, it seems that strict theory cannot make him completely convinced.Instinctively, people probably trust more what they have experienced. If they have had the same experience many times, they are more likely to be convinced to the point of stubbornness.

"Qin Jun, things have been moved here." Wang Kang's voice said.

Qin Liang looked back and saw that he was carrying a coarse cloth bag, so he said, "Bring it here."

The light was getting darker at this time, and Qin Liang did not read the slips immediately.He sat for a moment, and Wang Kang's voice brought him back to reality again.

Wang Kang's voice said: "Servant, go get the lamp."

Qin Liang nodded and said, "Go and get the lamp. I'll close the window."

He got up from the wooden desk and closed the wooden windows on three sides. When the south window was left, he continued to look at the distant scenery for a while.

It was drizzling lightly and the vast mist made it difficult to see far. Only the shadow of the tower in the distance could be seen vaguely.What's more, even on a sunny day, what can you see with your naked eyes?

With a "crunch", Qin Liang closed the window, but he still stood there.His hands were still on the wooden window, his forehead leaned against his hands, and he buried his head in thought for a while.

This time he was very stubborn, and he still felt that his judgment was correct. Based on various factors, Wu Bing would definitely come!It's just that Wu Jun relied heavily on the advantage of the naval force and delayed the time, but it shouldn't be delayed as long as a few years.
