Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 296
Chapter 297
"To gather the people in Jiangdong, to decide the opportunity between the two Chens, to compete with the world, you are not as good as me; to appoint talents and talents, each to do their best, to protect Jiangdong, I am not as good as you."

This is Sun Ce's evaluation of Sun Quan before his death, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of Sun Ce and Sun Quan's brothers.

Sun Quan's greatest ability lies in internal affairs, and his greatest achievement lies in firmly tying the Jiangdong gentry to the chariot of the Soochow regime.

If there is no Zhou Yu, Sun Quan's foreign policy will be mainly defensive, that is, to appoint talents and talents to protect Jiangdong.

But it is different with Zhou Yu. In terms of foreign policy-making, Zhou Yu can completely replace Sun Ce's role. With Zhou Yu around, Soochow's foreign strategy will be to use the people from Jiangdong to compete with the world!
After accepting the reality that Zhou Yu would not die for a while, Cao Chong was very depressed.

Why do I have the feeling that this world is full of malice towards me?

The young master worked hard to improve the strength of Lao Cao, and weakened the strength of Liu Daer and Sun Quan. He not only poached Zhao Yun, Lu Xun, Ling Tong, Pang Tong, Fazheng, Yiji and other first-class famous generals and advisers.

He also used salt to suppress the economic strength of the two, and deceived Zhou Yu, the coach on the Nanjun battlefield, to Jiaozhou.

As a result, Lao Cao still lost Nanjun, and Liu Daer's strength didn't seem to have weakened much. What was even more annoying was that Zhou Yu, who was supposed to be dead, was still alive and kicking.

And it is estimated that it will be alive and kicking for a long time. Soochow's strength has directly stepped up to a new level!
Is this world deliberately targeting Xiaoye!

Cao Chong, who was in a depressed mood, was not even interested in taking Luoyang officials to visit after the completion of the third north district of Xincheng.

"Didn't you say you were going to visit the new town? What are you up to?"

For the first time in several months, Cao Chong didn't harass her on the holiday, and Wen Jiao suddenly felt a little out of place!

He took the initiative to come to the small courtyard where Cao Chong lived, only to find that Cao Chong was busy with files and paperwork on the table. When did he work so hard?
"Sister Wenjiao is here, I didn't look for you today, did I miss you?"

Still looking like a bastard, just pretending to be hardworking!Wen Jiao thought bitterly.

Seeing that Wen Jiao ignored her, Cao Chong raised the file in Yang's hand: "The various plans of Luoyang New City need to be revised in some places."

"You finally admit that the city you designed is too big?"

Cao Chong's face darkened: "No! I'm too young!"

"Then modify it slowly." Seeing that he had no plans to reduce the size of the new city, Wen Jiao was immediately not interested.

"Come on, let's have a conversation with me, how about seeing this?"

Seeing that Cao Chong was busy, Wen Jiao was about to turn around and go back, but was stopped by Cao Chong.

Wen Jiao took the design drawings that Cao Chong handed over, and looked at them for a while: "Is it the same as the original one?"

"Didn't you see that there are a lot of sewers missing? The canals, canals, and docks in Nancheng are all gone. What kind of eyes are there?"

Wen Jiao took out a blueprint, frowned and said, "I feel that there are more underground channels here!"

"That's Beicheng District. It's not many, it's perfect! Those culverts already exist, but they're not the main canal. I didn't draw them in such detail last time!"

"I don't understand these things. It's so dense and messy, it's a headache for people who read it!" Wen Jiao threw the drawings on the table.

Cao Chong didn't care, and went straight to the recliner next to him and sat down: "I think what you said last time was right, so I adjusted the construction sequence of Luoyang New City."

Wen Jiaoxin said: I have said too much, which sentence is it?

"Anyway, the court officials don't care about the South City where the people live. Their eyes are only on the inner city, so let's ignore the South City first, and make the North City better first!"

Wen Jiao looked at Cao Chong: "Hmph! It's not that simple, is it? Are you so persuasive?"

"Isn't that what Sister Wenjiao said? How dare I not listen!"

I am afraid of getting used to anything, and Wen Jiao is already immune to Cao Chong calling her Sister Wen Jiao!
"Forget it, I don't bother to know! Are you doing this to make the northern city residential first, and then build the southern city?"

"It's so smart! When designing this new city, because of the relationship between the inner city, the north and south parts were designed separately. In fact, as long as a city wall is built on Xingluo Street, it will be the same as two cities."

"Good idea!" Wen Jiao said immediately.

Cao Chong glared at her angrily: "You all want me to do this, don't you? It's a good idea!"

"Are you doing this to deal with the court? Or do you want to move in earlier?"

"Neither, to meet the deadline!"

"Ah! Are you still in a hurry?" Wen Jiao's eyes widened.

Cao Chong sighed, and said slowly: "Judging from the information from the school office, I always feel that something is wrong. The marriage between Sun and Liu is going to happen soon, and the two families have been mobilizing frequently recently. There is a big move."

"What's the matter with you? What's the matter with the Luoyang construction period?"

Cao Chong stared at Wen Jiao's beautiful face carefully: "How can such a smart beauty not care about the general situation of the world at all?"

Wen Jiao blushed and turned her face away: "What does the Southern War have to do with Luoyang? Didn't it last year?"

"They are not going to attack north, Sun Quan and Liu Daer are going to attack Yizhou!"

"Then it has nothing to do with Luoyang?" It was Zhen Mi who spoke, and she and Diao Chan came in from the backyard, carrying smoothies.

Cao Chong didn't go to Xincheng today, but Zhen Mi cheerfully dragged Diao Chan there, they were very interested in what the North Third District was like.

On a hot day, the two of them went to the backyard after coming back sweaty. It was much cooler after bathing and changing, and finally remembered to bring some smoothies to Cao Chong!
Cao Chong took the Shabing and handed Wen Jiao a cup: "Can old Cao just watch the two get Yizhou?"

"It still has nothing to do with Luoyang!"

"The southeast entrance of Yizhou is Jingxiang, and the northeast entrance is Guanlong and Hanzhong. As long as the Sun Liu coalition forces dare to march west along the Yangtze River, Lao Cao must not go south to capture Nanjun, but enter Hanzhong from Guanzhong. Can Zhang Lu in Hanzhong not resist? Guanlong Do the warlords and Ma Chao have any ideas?"

"You mean the prime minister's army will pass by Luoyang?" Wen Jiao asked.

"This is the only way from the Central Plains to enter Guanzhong! At that time, Luoyang will be the assembly and transfer center for the army and various materials. I want to close the city wall before the army arrives."

"It's all speculation. When you came to Luoyang, you guessed that Ma Chao would rebel, and now you guess that the prime minister will attack Hanzhong..." Wen Jiao frowned.

"That's right! And even if you guessed right, what does it matter to you? You just continue to build Luoyang, anyway, you only use the strength of Luoyang's one county." Zhen Mi didn't understand why Cao Chong was in a hurry all day long?
"Husband! War is the business of the prime minister and the generals. You just rebuild Luoyang. Didn't you say that the two-year period is just to deal with the court officials, and it will take many years to restore the prosperity of Luoyang?" Diao Chan also chimed in.

Cao Chong didn't explain his doubts about the three beauties, and it's not easy to reveal his true thoughts now.

I still want to go to Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Xiliang and other places for a while. If I don't rush to work in Luoyang, how can I get away then?
