I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

A man wrapped in a kimono and a veil is standing at the bow of the boat looking westward from a distance.

To the west is the land of Great Wei, and she came here this time to tidy up and toss Great Wei.

At this time, a Dongying warrior with a beard came up, said something beside her, and handed over a note.

She opened the note, and her eyes gradually widened.

After her breath subsided for a moment, she immediately summoned a messenger.

Weihai Guard Fleet!Set sail, set sail!

Cao Xiong stood at the bow of the ship in a heroic manner, and gave the order that all the rich ships were launched into the sea.

At the same time, a heavy and forceful horn sounded suddenly from the pier!

"The enemy is coming!" Someone on the boat shouted.

Cao Xiong squinted his eyes and looked to the east, and there were a few small dots on the sea.

It's a warship!Cao Xiong keenly sensed that it was Dongpu's warships that had invaded.

What a coincidence!

The sea breeze blew the "Xiong" flag flying across the ship, and the continuous naval warships beat drums one after another.

"Fire the rockets!" Cao Xiong ordered and shouted.

The archers on the ship came to the bow one after another, lit the kerosene on the hemp belt on the arrow cluster, and immediately let go of the bowstring and shot out.

All of a sudden, thousands of arrows were fired, and rockets shot across the sky towards the opposite side, hitting the bow of Dongpu's ship one after another.

At this time, a strange horn sounded on the Dongpu ship.

Cao Xiong thought that he was about to attack, so he asked the soldiers to slow down the speed of the ship, preparing for the two fleets to get closer, to bomb and then collide, trying to smooth out the opposite side.

But as the sound of the horn disappeared, the opposite ship seemed to have stopped moving.

Hey?

"Why is the boat on the other side not moving?" Cao Xiong came to the bow and looked carefully.

"Your Majesty! The Japanese ship on the opposite side is about to run away!" The soldier on the side said to him!

Gan!These Japanese people are going to run away!

Chapter 1503 The Striving Zhou Fang

Want to run on the other side?

"The fleet speeds up and is at full strength! Be sure to catch up with their fleet!" Cao Xiong ordered!

The sound of heavy drumming on the ship floated along the sea surface, all the oars on the Dafu ship were in full operation immediately, and hundreds of people were rowing neatly in the lower cabin of the hull.

Cao Xiong could feel the speed of the boat speeding up immediately!

But... It seems that I still can't catch up with the opposite side.

The shadow of the Yingzhou fleet on the opposite side is still slowly getting smaller.

At this time, Cao Xiong suddenly realized a flaw in the design of the Dafu ship, that is, the speed of the ship was too slow.

The improved Dafu ship, both in terms of draft and firepower, has more and stronger than before, but the speed of the ship does not seem to have improved.

Seeing the small boats in Yingzhou drifting away, he even felt that the Dafu boat was a bit too cumbersome.

This is awkward.

no!When I go back, I must ask Zhu Youxiao to redesign it.

Seeing that he could not catch up with the enemy, Cao Xiong finally had no choice but to order to retreat.

Not long after Cao Xiong returned to the shore, the admiral sent him a message.

"The Japanese soldiers are a feint attack this time, and all their ships have already withdrawn to Pyongyang." The admiral said to Cao Xiong, "We have won a complete victory in this battle!"

Withdrawal?Cao Xiong was taken aback.

The Japanese bandits are hard to get rid of, and the Dongpu Fleet will probably not come back for a while after running away this time.

Just set aside time, and I can redesign the Dafu ship again.

Cao Xiong simply wrote a battle report, and ordered someone to send it back to Yecheng.

Then, he was going to discuss with Zhu Youxiao how to continue to upgrade the Dafu ship.

The Dafu Ship is the foundation of his naval battle!

Jiangdong, in the mansion of Zhou Yu's son Zhou Fang.

He has been staying in the front hall for the past few days, flipping through the scrolls non-stop. From time to time, soldiers from inside and outside the mansion come in and report something to him.

Every time he stayed in Zhou Fang's room for a while and then went out.

On this day, Zhou Fang was waiting in the front hall early again. After a while, before dawn, a soldier entered the mansion, and entered his room to deliver a briefing.

Looking at the briefing, Zhou Fang couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Yu's spirit in heaven saw Zhou Fang getting up early and going to bed late every day recently, studying the art of war in the front hall, and thought that this kid had finally enlightened.

Finally able to seriously inherit his mantle.

On this day, Cao Xiong was dealing with some daily briefings in the front hall.A servant outside the mansion handed him a letter.

"My son, this is Sun Deng from Jiangdong, who sent someone to bring it to you." The servant said.

"Oh? Sun Deng?" Cao Xiong looked at the letter in surprise and hadn't contacted Sun Deng for a long time.

Sun Deng is in charge of his iron mine in Soochow, and has sent himself a lot of money, which is his own cash cow.

Cao Xiong opened the letter.

"My son, I heard that you have been near Jiangdong recently, and I miss you very much. Deng has already prepared a banquet, and specially invites you to come to Jiangdong for a gathering. ——Sun Deng"

Cao Xiong thought to himself, Sun Shangxiang has been back to Jiangdong for a while, and he doesn't know what's going on.

Thinking of this, after Cao Xiong simply handed over the affairs of the seaside to the admiral, he went south to go to Jiangdong to meet Sun Deng.

"This time, the Yingchuan will not attack again after retreating to Pyongyang. Just keep an eye on the sea area. If Japanese soldiers invade, just lead the army to stick to the sea line!" Cao Xiong said to the admiral of the navy.

The next day, Cao Xiong brought Xu Yi and a small group of soldiers to the riverside. Sun Deng had sent people to wait here for a long time.

Chapter 1504 Take a Trip to Jiangdong

"Good brother, you are here!" Seeing a group of people appear from the reeds in front, the leader is Cao Xiong.

Cao Xiong looked at the river in front of him, and after a closer look, it was indeed Sun Deng.

Sun Deng greeted Cao Xiong with two guards.

"Brother Deng, how long have you been waiting here?" Cao Xiong looked at Sun Deng guiltily.

Sun Deng's father had just passed away, and he personally came to the river to greet him.

"I was waiting for you by the river not long after I disembarked." Sun Deng took Cao Xiong's arm and said, "I have heard that someone from Dongying came to invade, and the king of Wei sent you to the river to quell the chaos. I heard that you Within a few days, the pirates were driven away!"

It's not just a few days, isn't it scared away on the same day?

Cao Xiong thought, probably the Japanese got the news that he led the troops, so he decided to withdraw the troops that day.

"How is your aunt?" Cao Xiong was referring to Sun Quan's younger sister, Sun Shangxiang.

After Sun Shangxiang returned to Jiangdong, he didn't write a letter to himself, and Cao Xiong was still thinking about it every day.

"My aunt is very good." Sun Deng said to Cao Xiong, "My aunt has been with Wu Guotai every day since she came back, and she will scold anyone who disturbs Wu Guotai. Let's go, the wind is cold by the river, we will talk when we get on the boat."

Cao Xiong followed Sun Deng to the big boat in Jiangdong. The two chatted and drank while putting on the boat, and then they walked slowly towards Soochow.

On Jiangdong's side, Sun Quan is worrying about the civil and military affairs in the house.

He stood in front of the big case, listening to the civil servants headed by Zhang Zhao and the generals headed by Lu Meng debating whether Soochow was a vassal or whether Soochow was independent.

On the Wenchen side, Zhang Zhao, Zhuge Jin and Zhang Wen mainly surrendered.

Lu Su advocated peace first, and favored Lu Meng a little.

There were too many generals, and Lu Meng, along with Huang Gai, Han Dang, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao and other veterans, advocated stabbing Wei at any time.

"If Soochow does not submit to Cao Cao, sooner or later Cao Cao's army from the north will go south and annex Jiangdong." Zhang Zhaoli said with a white beard, "It is better to take the initiative to surrender to Cao Cao now than to be forced to submit to Cao Cao."

Lu Su was neither angry nor powerful, and calmly reasoned with Zhang Zhao, "Master Zhang's words are wrong. Do you think that after Jiang Dong surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao would not attack us? When he finished cleaning up Zhuge Liang, After capturing Xishu, sooner or later they will annex us."

"That's better than letting the people of Jiangdong flow into rivers of blood!" Zhang Zhao said, waving his sleeves.

"Master Zhang, you are afraid of death!" Lu Meng looked at Zhang Zhao who had always advocated surrender.

"Who do you say is afraid of death?" Zhang Zhao opened his eyes angrily.

"You are afraid of death." Lu Meng turned his head aside.

At this time, Cao Xiong and Sun Deng walked in from the outside gate together.

Cao Xiong came to look for Sun Shangxiang, and Sun Shangxiang was in Wu Guotai's house nearby, accompanying Wu Guotai.

Hearing the noise of people in the lobby, Cao Xiong thought it was better not to get involved.

Wu Guotai's room is just behind the lobby.

Before arriving at the lobby, Sun Deng greeted Wu Guotai first, and then told them that Cao Xiong had arrived.

"Husband is here?" Sun Shangxiang said in surprise.

"Let him in quickly." Wu Guotai raised her hand and said.

Cao Xiong walked into the house from outside the door, and Sun Shangxiang looked at the familiar figure from behind through the panes, and couldn't believe it was Cao Xiong.

"Wu Guotai is good, Cao Xiong has met Wu Guotai." Cao Xiong walked up to Wu Guotai and saluted.

"Xiong'er, get up, get up." Wu Guotai was even happier when he saw Cao Xiong.

Recently, Sun Quan was tortured in his choice of attitude towards Wei Guo because he didn't think about eating and drinking, which made her, an old woman, also feel unhappy.

Now that Cao Xiong is here, maybe he can help them make up their minds.

Chapter 1505 Sun Quan's troubles

Wu Guotai looked at Cao Xiong cheerfully, just like looking at his own young son.

Although it is said that Cao Xiong is the eldest son of Wei, he is also Jiangdong's son-in-law.

Cao Xiong loves Sun Shangxiang so much, on Jiangdong's issue, he dare not say that he will favor Jiangdong, but he will be more to the point.

"Xiang'er." Cao Xiong stood up and was thrown into his arms by Sun Shangxiang.

'cough cough. ' Sun Deng coughed twice from behind.

Cao Xiong and Sun Shangxiang were taken aback for a moment, and Wu Guotai and the surrounding maidservants all laughed along with them.

At this time, Sun Quan was striding in from outside the yard, and it seemed that this pace was quite unpleasant.

"This group of civil servants and military generals, other than coming to me to quarrel or quarrel! What else would they do?" Before Sun Quanren entered the room, the words came first, "I only like to listen to what Lu Su has to say."

Cao Xiong was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at the people around him a little embarrassed.

Sun Deng gave him a wink, and he had already clasped his hands and dared not speak.

Sun Quan must be very angry.

"Xiong'er don't worry, Sun Quan is not in a good mood recently, and he was angry with Lu Meng and Zhang Zhao again." Wu Guotai said kindly to Cao Xiong.

After Sun Quan turned into the room, he saw Cao Xiong in the room, his face froze, and then he immediately became cautious.
