Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

"Your lady is a Taoist nun?" Li Chen asked curiously.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Niujiao said: "Senior sister has learned Taoism from Master since she was a child, so she can be considered a Taoist nun."

"Then does your lady wear Taoist robes all day?" Li Chen continued to ask.

Li Chen's question, in Zhang Niujiao's view, is a bit inexplicable.This nun doesn't wear Taoist robes, what can she wear.

"This"

"Of course they are wearing Taoist robes?" Zhang Niujiao replied.

Upon hearing this answer, Li Chen immediately became excited, and thought: "It's good to wear Taoist robes, it's good to wear Taoist robes."

Li Chen and Cao Cao's hobbies are different. Cao Cao's hobbies are relatively simple, and he likes women.In contrast, Li Chen's hobbies are much wider. Apart from wives, Li Chen also likes uniforms.

Good guy, what kind of little sailor was the most in the past, it's really the first time for a nun like a bunny girl, is it so exciting?

"Niujiao, how come your lady didn't know to greet me when she came to Yunlong Mountain?" Li Chen asked Zhang Niujiao.

Zhang Niujiao recalled what Zhang Ning said before he left, Junior Brother and Senior Sister considered that the King of Qin wanted to take Senior Sister as a concubine, and this King Qin had no good intentions for Senior Sister, so Senior Sister went to Yunlong Mountain to escape first because he was greedy for Senior Sister.

That's what Zhang Ning said when he left, but now Zhang Niujiao has specified that he can't tell Li Chen the original words, so Zhang Niujiao said: "Reporting to the King of Qin, my senior sister's eyes are not good. Uncle Yu Ji is good at medicine. I went to ask Uncle Yu Ji to check his eyes."

After hearing this, Li Chen's mood suddenly became a little less beautiful.Of course, this is not to dislike Zhang Ning's bad eyesight.

But in the future, if she and Zhang Ning are married, when they quarreled, Zhang Ning said, I fell in love with you because I was blind.

If the two of them quarreled and Zhang Ning said that, Li Chen seemed really powerless to refute.

"Niujiao, what's the condition of your lady's eyes?" Li Chen continued to ask with concern.

"Reporting to the King of Qin, my senior sister did divination many times for the future of the Yellow Turban. This divination was a revelation of the secrets of the heavens. Naturally, it will suffer from the heavens. The eyes that cannot see far away are the heavens." Zhang Niujiao replied, nervously Then Zhang Niujiao described the condition of Zhang Ning's eyes to Li Chen.

"You can't have farsighted eyes?" Li Chen thought for a while and asked after thinking for a while: "Does your lady like to read?"

"Yes, my senior sister likes to read." Zhang Niujiao replied.

Li Chenxin said that the inability to be farsighted is the natural barrier of bullshit. This is because of reading too much and getting severe myopia.

Zhang Ning's eyes are probably overworked from looking at various historical sites all day long, and there is no such thing as eye exercises in this era.Moreover, the lights are dim, so reading in the long run will inevitably lead to myopia.It is estimated that Zhang Ning has acquired myopia now.

Chapter 216 Inspecting the Shipyard

Knowing that Zhang Ning was practicing with Yu Ji on Yunlong Mountain, Li Chen was not in a hurry to find Zhang Ning.Zhang Ning and Huang Yueying belonged to spare tires. I had just overworked with Lu Lingqi and Diao Chan these few days, and that kind of addiction is not very big now.Therefore, this spare tire can be used later.

Now that he has signed a covenant of non-aggression with Cao Cao, in a short period of time, he and Cao Cao are about to fight, and Li Chen can completely focus on dealing with Sun Jian.

Because of Li Chen, the butterfly flapping its wings, the history of the Three Kingdoms has changed beyond recognition.Liu Bei has not yet risen, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to rise again.The battle of Chibi between Cao, Liu and Sun is estimated to be impossible, and if Li Chen wants to attack Sun Wu now, he doesn't know what kind of war will break out.

Weishan Lake, Shipyard.

The geographical location of Weishan Lake is very good. First of all, it is a big lake. Not only can it be called perfect from the location of the shipyard, but it can also fully support a large-scale naval training.

Since Weishan Lake is an inland lake, if the construction and training of the water army are arranged here, it can be well concealed.Moreover, Weishan Lake is not too far from the main road of the Yellow River.After the water army is built and trained, it is completely possible to dig an artificial canal from Weishan Lake, so that the water army can be driven out of Weishan Lake, then go to the Yellow River, turn to the Huai River, and finally turn to the Yangtze River Basin.

When it comes to the Yangtze River Basin, almost all the waters here are under the control of Soochow, and Soochow's navy can be said to be invincible in the world.Of course, this so-called invincibility does not mean how powerful Soochow's ships are.It is entirely because there are no tigers in the mountains that monkeys are called kings.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Central Plains area was the Henan generation, and the place where the great warlords fought was also the Central Plains area.Therefore, everyone generally does not waste too much thought on the development of the navy, and because of this, there are not many warlords in the world with navy.It is precisely because of this that Soochow became the number one navy.

After inspecting the shipyard, Li Chen felt that Soochow, the number one naval force, might not last long, because Li Chen discovered that his shipyard had already started building Cangshan ships.

I have to say that this Huang Yueying is really talented. The shipyard has just been established for more than a month. Now the scout ships such as net shuttle boats have been put into production in batches, and the serial boats, fire dragon boats and Cangshan boats are such assault ships. It is also already in the process of groping and manufacturing.

Don't underestimate the chain boats, fire dragon boats, and Cangshan boats. The boats in the mountains are small assault warships for Li Chen, but they are actually medium-sized warships in Soochow.

In Li Chen's view, the chain boats, fire dragon boats and even Cangshan boats are too small. Not to mention these boats are very narrow, and they are all only a dozen meters long. The main power is the two sails at the front and back, and they don't have long-range firepower .

Of course, this is just Li Chen's opinion. In fact, such a ship was already a leading technology in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

First of all, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the boats were flat-bottomed boats. Li Chen's sharp-bottomed boats with pointed ends, upturned ends, and keels were enough to amaze the craftsmen of this era.

When a flat-bottomed boat is sailing, the area in contact with the water surface is larger, so the resistance it receives is naturally greater.This kind of resistance is particularly obvious when encountering wind and waves or turning.

The sharp-bottomed boat has a small contact area with the water surface, so the resistance it receives is naturally small, so even if there are winds and waves, its speed will not be greatly affected.

After Li Chen visited the shipyard, he came to Huang Yueying's office, wanting to see what Huang Yueying was doing.

When Li Chen walked into the office, he deliberately lowered the sound of his footsteps, and walked in cautiously.

At this moment, Huang Yueying was lying on the desk, concentrating on studying the drawings on the desk.She crawled on the table, holding various tools in her hands as if she was modifying the drawings.At this moment, she was lying on the table with her back to Li Chen. This position seemed quite good.

Huang Yueying seemed to have sensed that there was someone behind her, she turned around suddenly, and was startled when she saw Li Chen appearing behind her.The two lumps on his chest also heaved up and down in fright.

"His Royal Highness, why are you here?" Huang Yueying said nervously.

"Let me take a look at the progress of this shipyard." Li Chen said to Huang Yueying.

"His Royal Highness Qin, don't worry, the progress is very fast now, and Yueying will be sure to launch the three-rail gunboat and the rushing boat in at least one year." Huang Yueying said confidently.

"Yueying, what are you doing?" Li Chen looked at the drawings on the table and asked.

Huang Yueying pointed to the blueprints on the table and said, "Reporting to Your Highness King Qin, I am improving the blueprints of the chain boat, the fire dragon boat, and the Cangshan boat."

"Although these three types of ships can only carry a hundred soldiers, they are actually not small ships according to the ships of the Soochow Navy. The disadvantage of these three types of ships is that they have no means of long-range attack and can only rely on Soldiers shot at each other with bows and arrows, or rushed in to fight."

"Yueying is thinking, if these three types of ships can be equipped with long-range firepower, then these three types of small ships can crush most of the ships in Soochow."

"Above the Yangtze River, besides the main road, there are many tributaries, some of which are difficult for large ships to enter. Among these tributaries, small boats are the main force. Therefore, I think it is only possible to equip these small boats with long-range firepower, which can be our water resources. The key to the army's victory in the Yangtze River."

After listening to Huang Yueying's words, Li Chen felt that what Huang Yueying said made sense.Li Chen's shipbuilding blueprints come from the Ming Dynasty, which is indeed a few eras ahead of the Three Kingdoms period.However, the national conditions of the same Three Kingdoms and the Ming Dynasty are different.

The Ming Dynasty had already opened the sea, and the purpose of shipbuilding was mostly sea transportation and sea warfare.For example, when Zheng He sailed to the West, all he traveled was the sea, the ocean.The Three Kingdoms period was different. The water battles during the Three Kingdoms period were all in rivers, so most of the boats were used.

In inland rivers, small boats are not necessarily less flexible than big boats, because in inland rivers, there are many tributaries that big boats cannot go to.Especially in the dry season, it is very likely to be stranded.

Taking into account the actual combat situation, Huang Yueying was not obsessed with big ships, but began to improve small boats, using small boats as the main combat force.Of course, big ships must also be available. The deterrent power of big ships is far beyond that of small ships.

When Li Chen saw that Huang Yueying was so thoughtful, he couldn't help feeling excited, and at this moment, he especially wanted to reward Huang Yueying with a po.

It doesn't matter if the reward is not rewarded, the main reason is to boo one.

Chapter 218 Four Scores Cao

Since Li Chen and Cao Cao, the two largest warlords in the world, forged an alliance under the city, the general trend of the world has more or less the meaning of turbulent waves.

Among the kings that Liu Xie enfeoffed, the two with the largest territory are Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but the two with the strongest soldiers are Li Chen and Cao Cao.Now that the two strongest soldiers have signed a non-aggression pact, it is naturally clear that they will attack the rest.

Li Chen is only in one state, in the eyes of the princes of the world, Li Chen is a poor soldier, although he looks very strong now, it is just an appearance.Just relying on the land of Xuzhou and adding Luoyang to support such a huge army, Xuzhou will be dragged down sooner or later.

The princes of the world don't know that Li Chen has two kinds of artifacts, potatoes and sweet potatoes, in his hands. The biggest food problem that plagues the princes of the world is nothing to Li Chen. ωèňχùè(i)iiм

In the eyes of the princes of the world, Li Chen's behavior of such a poor soldier and silent martial arts will sooner or later bear the consequences, so in their eyes, Li Chen is nothing to worry about.But Cao Cao is different. Cao Cao's territory is second only to Yuan Shao among the princes in the world, and his military front is far stronger than Yuan Shao.

The attention of Li Chen and Cao Cao is to annex the small warlords respectively first, and then the two sides are engaged in a decisive battle to determine whether the surname belongs to Li or Cao.Similarly, in the eyes of the rest of the warlords, if they want to avoid being annexed, the best way is for them to work together to swallow both Cao and Li.

From everyone's point of view, Li Chen is a poor soldier and silent warrior, nothing to worry about.But Cao Cao has become a major problem for the princes of the world. It can be said that if Cao Cao is not dead, the world will be uneasy.

Originally, in the eyes of the princes in the world, Li Chen and Cao Cao's territories were next to each other, and if they fought, they must be the first to fight.However, now that the two have signed a non-aggression covenant, it is clear that they want to pick a soft persimmon.

Of course, although persimmons are soft, they also know how to hold together.Just after Li Chen and Cao Cao's alliance was announced, Yuan Shao's letter of alliance was also issued.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are old rivals, and the two brothers have not been fighting for a year or two.At this time, Cao Cao became the target of public criticism, and Yuan Shao naturally would not give up this opportunity to add insult to injury.

Yuan Shao came from a famous family, four generations and three princes. More than half of the officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty were disciples of their old Yuan family, so he naturally liked to be the boss.No, after seizing this opportunity, Yuan Shao immediately made a letter of alliance, summoning the princes of the world to deal with Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have also been fighting for many years. Yuan Shao thought to himself, I can't beat you Cao Cao, but I can fight people. I will fight you Cao Cao.

In this world, no one who can become a vassal is a fool.Everyone knows that the final winner of this competition is Cao Cao most likely.At this time, it is the best choice to be able to drive Cao Cao out of the finals first.

It is also because of this that immediately after Yuan Shao's book was published, princes from all walks of life responded one after another.Among them, the kings are Yuan Shao, king of Jin, Liu Bei, king of Shu, Ma Teng, king of Liang, and Yuan Shu, king of Qi.In addition to these kings, there are also some small warlords who come to join in the fun, such as Shangdang prefect Zhang Yang, Wancheng's Zhang Xiu and so on.

For a while, Cao Cao seemed to have stood on the opposite side of the world.

Yuan Shao wants to fight Cao Cao, as his good brother, Yuan Shu must not stand idly by.Ma Teng always wants to enter the Central Plains, and Liu Bei wants to have a real place.Yuan Shao's war with Cao Cao this time is a good opportunity for Liu Bei and Ma Teng.

Yecheng, the living room.

The princes from all walks of life gathered in Yecheng, with the four kings as the leaders, and with the addition of many small princes, the whole hall became much more lively.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. At this time, these little princes will naturally want to beat the kings.

In the middle of the hall, Yuan Shao sat at the head seat, his brother Yuan Shu sat on Yuan Shao's right, and beside Yuan Shu sat Liu Bei.Sitting next to Yuan Shao's left head is Ma Teng who came from afar.

"Brothers have come from afar, don't say anything else, let's do the best for the landlord." Yuan Shao said, raising the wine glass in his hand, and drank the wine in it.

"Cao Bandit is powerful now, and we need to work together to fight Cao Bandit together. Today, since Brother Yuan has gathered us together, I, Ma Teng, have something to say." Ma Teng said to the crowd.

"Brother Ma, you can speak up if you have something to say." Yuan Shao said to Ma Teng.

Ma Teng is from Xiliang, a big man from Xiliang has always been straightforward and doesn't like to play tricks.

"Everyone, the four of us join forces to attack Cao Cao. Cao Cao is definitely not our opponent. However, as the saying goes, sharing adversity is easy, and sharing sweetness is difficult."

"As the saying goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly. I think we should make a decision on how to divide the battle power first." Ma Teng said what was in his heart.

When Ma Teng said this, Yuan Shao frowned involuntarily.Sure enough, this Ma Teng appeared to be a rough and careless man on the surface, but in fact it was not that simple, this Ma Teng was very shrewd.

Of course, Yuan Shao is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Before Ma Teng and others came, Yuan Shao's counselors had already made a plan for Yuan Shao.Therefore, Yuan Shao did not panic at this time.

Yuan Shaozheng didn't know how to mention this matter, but now that Ma Teng opened his mouth, Yuan Shao happened to mention this matter just right.

"Brother Ma is right. Brothers have to settle accounts clearly. If this battle really starts, everyone will invest real money in it. If the matter of dividing up the spoils is not clear, we will have to fight Cao Cao. Mess up yourself first."

"Let me see it this way. Let's attack Cao Cao from our own directions. Whoever takes down the territory will own it. Whoever eats the meat first will eat it first. As the saying goes, if you have fast hands, you can get as much as you can. Ourselves."

"Guys, what do you think of my attention?" Yuan Shao asked.

Why did Yuan Shao think of such a notice?Because for Yuan Shao, he didn't mean that he must take the greatest advantage in attacking Cao Cao.As long as Cao Cao falls, it will be a good thing for Yuan Shao.

If according to the plan, the four of them divided the Cao, no matter who took the big head, then he would not be Yuan Shao's opponent.Therefore, from Yuan Shao's point of view, anyone can take the top spot, because among the three, no one can surpass himself if he takes the top spot.

And Yuan Shao set such a rule, which means that whoever wants to get the big head, who wants to get more benefits, then he should contribute more.

As soon as Yuan Shao's attention came out, Liu Bei, Ma Teng and others had nothing to say.More work, more pay, this is indeed a very fair way.

Chapter 219 Cao Cao's Dream Horse Sinking Trough

Xudu, Wei Wangfu.

"what!"

In the dead of night, a loud shout resounded throughout the entire Wei Palace, this shout startled the soldiers in the Wei Palace.Fearing that Cao Cao was assassinated, a group of black-armored guards surrounded Cao Cao's residence when the shouts resounded.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Wei Wang, Wei Wang, what's the matter?" Outside the door, Dian Wei looked at the door vigorously and asked hastily.

"It's okay, I just had a nightmare." Not long after, Cao Cao's voice came from the room.

"Let's go, let's go."

"It's just a nightmare." Dian Wei waved his hand and dispersed the guards surrounding him.

"Husband, what nightmare did you have?" On the bed, Cao Cao's wife asked curiously while sweating for him.

Cao Cao recalled the scene in the dream, and then said to his wife: "It's not a nightmare, but it makes me palpitate for some reason."

"What did the husband dream about?" Cao Cao's wife asked.

After hesitating for a moment, Cao Cao said, "I dreamed that somehow I came to the stable. There was a big horse in the stable, and the horse was grazing. I just watched the horse grazing, but Unexpectedly, after the horse ate the grass, it actually started to gnaw on the stone trough. Every time the horse gnawed on the stone trough, my heart would throb. In a blink of an eye, the stone trough was completely eaten by the horse. When the stone trough was gnawed clean, I couldn't help making this roar."

"Husband, this is not a nightmare. There is nothing to be afraid of. In my opinion, you are overworked." Madam comforted.

Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, and now this dream made him even more suspicious.Cao Cao felt that it was impossible for him to have such a dream for no reason. Since he dreamed of it, it must be a warning.

The horse first ate grass and then the manger.Grass-eating, food trough, are you trying to eat Cao Cao?Thinking of this, Cao Cao was shocked.

Horse, who is this horse?At this time, Cao Cao was sure that this was a warning from heaven that someone would deal with him, but who did this horse represent?Cao Cao was puzzled. At this moment, he did not think that this horse was Ma Teng.

I have to say that Cao Cao's dream was really vivid. When he had this dream, Ma Teng's army was not far from Wuwei County, Cao Cao's northern territory.

After Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, and Ma Teng made their plans, everyone went back to prepare.Among these four families, Ma Teng was the first to strike.

Ma Teng has been plotting the Central Plains for a long time, he is not reconciled to stay in that barbaric place all day long with other races in the grassland.Ma Teng wants to take control of the Central Plains, so he has to be the first to do it.
