Jieshou Township by Yingshui River stands tall wooden fences along the pier.

In the south, Chu is not short of tall trees. For hundreds of years, the state of Chu was named Jing, which is more appropriate.

The wooden fence surrounded a hundred feet long water area, with sharp spears on the outward side. On the shore inside the water area, the Qin army's camps were lined up in a square and neat manner.

This is the newly built Naval Army Village that Meng Tian has taken shape.

In July, heavy rain often hits, and the Yingshui water surface rose by about five feet. From a distance, it looks yellow.

On the water surface, the Qin army, who were practicing controlling ships, rose and fell with the waves on the water surface.

Meng Tian sat behind the stone table, savoring the fragrant tea, and patiently waiting for Tu Ju and Ren Xiao's answer.

Meng Tian was not very clear about the habit of drinking tea in ancient Chinese people.

Over the years, Meng Tian has never drunk the kind of thing called tea in later generations. At this time, although tea has come into people's sight, its usage is very different.

People pick tea, ginger and sunflower vegetables, add peppercorns, and make a soup. When they drink it, they are far less savored than later generations.

For a long time, people called drinking tea and eating tea, which was indeed very appropriate.

The troops stationed in Taihe, Meng Tian accidentally found more than a dozen wild tea trees in the wild. The tea leaves were tender and full of green, and it was a rare good tea at first glance.

Meng Tian asked his personal soldiers to pick it back, dried it, stir-fry it, and finally tasted the long-lost tea aroma.

The fragrant and rich aroma of tea floated in the small pavilion, causing Tu Ju and Ren Xiao to swallow his saliva secretly.

However, in front of Meng Tian, ​​they did not dare to lose their composure. They suppressed the curiosity in their hearts and looked at the Qin army's water camp.

A quarter of an hour later, Meng Tian finished savoring a hu of tea and added another boiling water.

"Jun Hou Ju, Jun Hou Xiao, what do you two have in your mind? Just say it boldly."

Meng Tian had a vague impression of Tu Ju and Ren Xiao's name. I think these two people have not left any fame in history, and they have not even left a biography in history books.

When he was a student, Meng Tian had a slew over Taishigong's "Records of the Grand Historian". Taishigong's biography style has certain biases in selecting people, but if he really made some achievements, Taishigong would not ignore it if he wanted to ignore it.

Tu Ju, Ren Xiao withdrew his gaze, look at me, and look at you. The two of them exchanged their eyes and decided that Tu Ju would speak first.

Tu Ju has a slightly direct personality. Compared with this, Ren Xiao seems to be deeper and does not take the initiative to show off in everything.

"General, this is a hot day, I am now dry and dry. Can I ask for saliva?"

Tu Ju looked up at the teapot in front of Meng Tian. The faint tea fragrance was radiating from the pot.

After receiving Meng Tian's order, Tu Ju and Ren Xiao rushed over, holding on to the sun, without a drop of water for nearly an hour, and their lips were a little dry.

"Shit-"

As soon as Tu Ju finished speaking, the personal soldiers around the pavilion stared fiercely. Tu Ju's eyes shrank, not understanding why these personal soldiers looked at him with hatred eyes.

The Taihe tea that Meng Tian drank was called like this, and she didn't think about it hard to think about a noble name. Taihe tea was picked by Meng Tian and his personal soldiers. Under Meng Tian's guidance, it was dry and fried, and finally got less than ten yuan.

Tu Ju wanted to ask for such a precious thing as soon as he opened his mouth. How could the personal soldiers be happy!

"If you say something that satisfies me, this bucket of tea will belong to you."

Meng Tian lifted the teapot, took out a triangular hukou from the pottery tray, and poured a full bucket of tea.

No matter how precious the tea is, no talent is precious. If a pot of tea can be exchanged for two naval generals, Meng Tian would choose to exchange without hesitation.

"Take it seriously?" Tu Ju's eyes were bright.

"Of course, I will lie to you if I am a human being."

Meng Tian narrowed her eyes and stared at Tu Ju, becoming serious.

Tu Ju's temperament seems to have a reckless side and is good at engaging in the atmosphere when getting along, but as a general in command, he is better to be more rigorous and steady.

"The last time I will be Meng Lang."

Feeling Meng Tian a little unhappy, Tu Ju immediately straightened his body and said seriously: "The last general's mother's family is from Puyang, Shu. His uncle once served as a boatman in the building and commanded a warship of 500 stones."

"When I was fifteen years old, I visited my mother's house, followed my uncle, and spent a year on the boat, learning about water nature and understanding of water wars. In the eyes of the moon, the matter of water wars is the main thing. As long as the ship is strong and the soldiers trust it, it is not difficult to train a naval army."

"I can't give you the kind of ship you mentioned at the moment." Meng Tian shook his head, "At present, the ships in Jieshou Township Water Village are the best ships I can collect. If we want to build a large ship temporarily, our army does not have so much time, and for a while, we can't find familiar craftsmen."

"I wonder if the general's baggage battalion is possible to carry the catapult onto the warship?"

Tu Ju felt a little disappointed when he heard that there was no big ship. However, even though he was lost, he had to continue to come up with a solution.

"Can."

Meng Tian thought about it and Sen has been studying the miniaturization of the catapult, which is not impossible.

"But the power of the catapult onto the warship is much smaller than that on land."

"It doesn't necessarily require much power." Tu Ju said, "In the water battle, large stone catapults, crossbows, and warships against the Chu people are enough. The last general only needs to cause great damage to the Chu army's warships before the warships on both sides are approaching."

"The warships of the two armies are close and close, and our army is not familiar with water will have certain disadvantages. Next, the focus of our naval army training is to learn to fight on the ship as if it were on land."

Tu Ju is worthy of being a person who has been on the water and has a good understanding of the Chu army's warships.

At the end of the Warring States Period, the shipbuilding technology of Chu may not be very high. The Qin army's stone casting tool, which fired a stone bomb over, would probably damage the Chu army's warships severely.

"Let our soldiers fight like they are on the road, and finally we will have an idea."

Tu Ju said almost the same thing. After getting a bucket of Taihe tea in front of Meng Tian, ​​Ren Xiao finally spoke.

"What's your thought? Let's hear it."

Meng Tian looked at Ren Xiao in surprise, and he thought Ren Xiao would remain silent.

If you want to get along well, sometimes there will be a relationship between one main and one auxiliary. One person may deliberately hide his weakness in order to help the other person.

Ren Xiao was unwilling to compete with Tu Ju, but in front of Meng Tian, ​​he had to show his presence.

When fighting against the Chu people, there must be no naval army. Ren Xiao keenly realized that the naval army was difficult to build, but as long as he survived this stage, he had much more chances to make contributions than to lead the army on land.
