My husband Zhuge Kongming

Huang Yueying didn't know what Cai Mao was thinking. She just reminded Cai Mao to pay attention to the education of the children in the clan.

However, seeing the look of realization on Cai Hao's face, she thought that Cai Hao had listened.

After Haosheng sent Cai Mao out of the house, Huang Yueying felt a little relieved. For now, she finally didn't have to fall out with Cai Mao.

Although her cheap uncle's talents are limited, he can still have many effects as long as he is used in the right place.

Furthermore, Cai Mao was actually pretty good to her, and she didn't want Cai Mao to end up badly and break her old mother's heart.

After Cai Mao left the house, he went directly to Kuai Yue, not knowing what Huang Yueying was thinking.

February.

Liu Bei issued a public proclamation, blaming Cao Cao for his rebellious behavior, which made people angry and resentful. He was called a Hanchen, but he was actually a traitor to usurp the Han Dynasty. He called Cao Cao the heroes of the world to gather in Xuchang to fight against the rebellion.

At the same time, Jingzhou also issued another message, inviting Liu Bei to temporarily take over the position of prefecture pastor and rule the states to fight against Cao's thieves.

Jiangdong, Wu County.

Sun Quan narrowed his eyes when he saw the young man in front of him. This man is Cao Cao's oldest son, and he is quite good-looking.

"I wonder why Mr. Cao came to Wu County here?"

"See what Jiangnan looks like." Cao Pi replied with a smile.

Sun Quan's face suddenly turned dark. Jiangnan is a ghost, but half of his remaining Wu counties are now in Jiangbei!

But on his face, Sun Quan still smiled and said, "Could it be that Duke Cao is willing to send troops to help me retake Jiangdong?"

Cao Pi glanced at Sun Quan and then said, "My younger brother died young and my father has no intention of fighting. I'm afraid he won't be able to help Sun Yangzhou."

"Oh, in that case, how about I send someone to escort Mr. Cao to Jiangnan?" Sun Quan said with a smile.

Cao Chong is gone, and Sun Quan knows this news.

He heard that he was one of Cao Cao's favorite sons. He was smart and talented since he was a child.

A serious illness broke out in the first month of this year, and all the doctors were helpless. Cao Cao watched the white-haired man send the black-haired man away, crying until his voice became hoarse.

Then, there was the news that Cao Cao sent troops to encircle and suppress the major families. One of the families was completely wiped out, and many branches of the other families were wiped out.

I heard that rivers of blood flowed everywhere, which was extremely miserable.

Of course, for Cao Cao, it was a lot of money, which he could use to do business with him.

Now, Cao Cao has taken the post of prime minister, and his ambition has been clearly exposed to everyone. However, the integration of Jingzhou has not yet been completed.

If Jingzhou is defeated by Cao Cao, let alone his half of Wu County.

"I won't bother Sun Yangzhou." Cao Pi also smiled, "I actually have something to ask for when I come to Wu County this time."

Sun Quan continued to smile and nod, why should he be so weird at the beginning when he asked for something?

"I don't know what's the matter?"

"My father heard that Sun Yangzhou has been able to purchase steam ships from Naxing Han Trading Company, so he would like to ask you to purchase a few ships on his behalf." Cao Pi was very direct and did not go around any more twists and turns with Sun Quan.

Because he found that if he was angry with the other party, the other party would be choked back, which was very boring.

"This matter is quite difficult." Sun Quan looked serious and then said, "There are limited places to buy steam ships in various places, and the queue time is also long."

"The number of places is limited?" Cao Pi didn't believe it.

Who wouldn’t make money if they were rich?Then Chu Anjun doesn’t look like such a stupid person, okay?

"Yes." Sun Quan nodded, "Probably because I only have half of Wu County left, the other party doesn't mind selling the steamship to me, but they also said that they can only buy three at most."

Cao Pi looked at Sun Quan with serious eyes.

He was courteous and courteous to Xun Yu, Jia Xu, and Cao Cao's subordinates, because he would need their support in the future.

But Cao Cao's strength is so much stronger than that of Sun Quan, so he will naturally not humble himself in front of Sun Quan.

"Then how many steam ships does your army have in total now?"

Sun Quan's face turned dark again. The boy in front of him really didn't understand any manners, "Two ships."

"Why not three ships?"

"I heard that the shipyard of Xinghan Trading Company seems to be upgrading the steam engine. It is said that faster, larger, and more powerful warships will appear in the future." Sun Quan explained, "So I reserved a quota for one." Cao Pi began to think.

Indeed, with Jingzhou's strength, it is not difficult to build more warships.

It is also very possible that there are faster, larger, and more powerful warships.

If he comes this time and buys only the first-generation warships, and then Cao Cao knows that Jingzhou has produced new ones, then he is not doing his job well.

But why did Sun Quan reveal this information to him?

"I wonder where this news about Sun Yangzhou came from?" Cao Pi asked.

"It comes from the nephew who was accepted as a closed disciple by Lord Chu An." Sun Quan explained, "My nephew has a respected position in Chu An, and because of his young age, he is very favored. The steamship is his Those senior brothers worked it out based on the female monarch’s idea, but his senior brothers are not limited to that, they have been thinking about a new battleship for more than a year.”

Cao Pi understood.

If this is the case, then he will have to re-evaluate the Sun family, which only has half of Wu County left.

Cao Cao killed many aristocratic families and temporarily stabilized himself. He shouldn't have been so anxious, but Cao Chong's death made Cao Cao unable to wait any longer.

Cao Cao was eager to stabilize the internal affairs, lead himself as prime minister, and at the same time reward the remaining people so that they would no longer have any second thoughts about following him.

However, how can the human heart be so easily satisfied?

Cheng Yu was able to send people to cook breasts for Cao Cao at that time. There was not only one like Cheng Yu.

He also knew that Cao Cao's foundation lay in the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Cao family, not the major aristocratic families, and the major aristocratic families did not dare to move around because of the Cao family's soldiers and horses.

Therefore, he wanted to make the soldiers and horses of Cao's establishment stronger.

"I wonder if Sun Yangzhou still remembers the death of your father and brother?"

Sun Quan slammed the table, "Master Cao, what do you mean?"

"Although Jingzhou is currently without a leader, there will be no chaos with Lord Chu An in charge, and the Jingzhou family wants to invite Liu Xuande to be the state pastor. If he is really allowed to become the Jingzhou pastor, he will be your and my biggest enemy. "Cao Pi smiled.

"You and me?" Sun Quan thought about Cao Pi's words, "Is your father in good health?"

"My father is in good health." Cao Pi replied with a gentle smile.

Sun Quan also smiled, "That's good."

However, he heard what Cao Pi meant.

Cao Pi is not much different in age from him, but the other party is Cao Cao's oldest child and the most likely successor to Cao Cao.

Cao Pi said that when he came to power, he would be willing to join forces with Jiangdong to attack Jingzhou together.

Before that, Cao Pi must have something he wanted.

If the other party wants something, he can plan for it.

Not a bad thing.

"Thank you Sun Yangzhou for your concern." Cao Pi smiled, "I wonder when Jingzhou's new warship will be released?"

"It is said that it will be this year." Sun Quan said, "However, I am afraid that this battleship will not be delivered to outsiders."

Cao Pi nodded. He could understand that the situation between the north and the south was not good, so Jingzhou would definitely give priority to equip itself. "Do you have a short description?"

"Yes, it is said that the entire hull will be made of steel." Sun Quan sighed.

It's clear at a glance which one is stronger or weaker, whether it's made of iron or made of wood.

He also knew that they wouldn't be able to get it for the time being.

Cao Pimo, if that were the case, there would be no need to fight at all.

"So, if we want to survive, we must learn the iron-making method from Jingzhou." Sun Quan said again.

There was some interest in Cao Pi's eyes, "What about Sun Yangzhou's nephew? Do you have any news about this?"

Sun Quan looked at Cao Pi in embarrassment, "Actually, it's not impossible."
