My husband Zhuge Kongming

Liu Bei's alliance with the Heavenly Sacrifice and the coming of a crane were under Cao Cao's hush-hush order, but no one talked about it, rather than no one knew about it.

Seeing the alliance of the four southern states, the various aristocratic families began to shrink their inherent defense lines and prepare large quantities of tung oil and other supplies. How could they not understand?
However, the blades and bloodshed at the beginning of the year were still too impressive, so no one from each family came forward.

Not only was there no one to step forward, Cao Cao had to be given everything he wanted, which was quite frustrating.

Hatred slowly breeds in places where no light is seen, and resentment grows along with it.

However, everything still takes time.

Sima Yi was very busy. On the one hand, he was cooperating with Cao Pi to increase iron-making production, and on the other hand, he was always called by Cao Cao to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to be on standby.

"Youhe Laiyi." Cao Pi sneered, "What a good one."

They cracked the method of smelting iron, and the armor they could make with the smelted iron could not compare with the batch of armor they bought through Jiangdong, let alone compare with Liu Bei's.

Therefore, he has been at the ironmaking workshop during this time.

"Yes, it is a metaphor for both virtue and heaven's instructions." Sima Yi nodded, and then discussed ironmaking with the master craftsman next to him. After talking for a while, he stood up and said goodbye to Cao Pi. After all, he still had to take charge of some more secret things. thing.

Cao Pi sighed and could only nod.

He also knew that the reason why he and Sima Yi were still chatting here was because they were responsible for the iron smelting in the first place.

Now that there is a problem, it is natural to continue to follow up.

Of course, Sima Yi was right to keep his distance.

It can't be possible. If I'm not dead, my son will be thinking about his position, right?
Wu County.

Zhou Yu had returned with his naval force for martial arts exercises. Hearing the news from Xuchang, he was stunned for a long time.

Yes, the troops have been integrated at this time. When Cao Liu fights, it will be time for him to appear in Jiangdong.

"Gong Jin." Sun Quan saw Zhou Yu on the dock, and finally there was some relief in his eyes.

"Meet the state shepherd."

"No need to be polite, go back to your home first." Sun Quan waved his hand indifferently.

To be honest, when Liu Bei resigned from Yangzhou Mu, he felt that it was even more embarrassing for him as Yangzhou Mu.

In the originally huge Yangzhou, there was only half of Wu County left, which was not worthy of its name.

Nowadays, no one wants the position of state pastor. He is still the state pastor of half of Wu County. It makes me sad to see him.

However, the news that He came to Yi when Liu Bei led the major forces to sacrifice heaven and form an alliance made him envious for a long time.

"It's definitely not a coincidence that the crane came to the ceremony." After entering the Prefecture Mufu, Zhou Yu made a conclusion directly.

"Why?" Sun Quan asked.

"White cranes and their ilk will come to the south of the Yangtze River to overwinter in the cold winter, and when the spring warms up, they will fly back to the north." Zhou Yu said seriously, "Therefore, although there are few white cranes here, they are not without them. Even if they are difficult to raise, they are still there. It shouldn’t be difficult to think about it.”

What's more, there are two very smart people on the other end.

Such tricks are easy in their hands.

However, he didn't quite understand why, if Liu Bei had such a great reputation, wouldn't he be afraid that Liu Bei would be out of control in the future?

Sun Quan nodded, "That's good. Is it just Liu Bei's issue with Cao Cao's alliance?"

"Shao'er is the disciple of that female monarch. We are about to send an envoy to deliver a batch of supplies. We said that there are few people in Jiangdong, so we have to prepare some small gifts to fight against Cao Daye. If there is any need for our Jiangdong army, Let them do whatever they ask." Zhou Yu said.

Sun Quan sighed and nodded again.

Before Zhou Yu came back, he knew that he couldn't afford to offend either Cao Cao or Liu Bei.

You can only keep both sides low and be small.

Fortunately, Cao Cao was still purchasing soldiers and armor from him, which gave him some comfort.

He had mastered the method of smelting iron, but the iron he produced was far from the armor produced by Xinghan Trading Company.

"Understood, let me make arrangements."

"Don't be too anxious about the rest." Zhou Yu smiled, "When they really fight, that's my Jiangdong chance."

Sun Quan's eyes lit up, yes, we can only wait a little longer, "Now, Gan Ning has led his troops to Xuchang. When Liu Bei is unable to go south, this will be my opportunity in Jiangdong." "Not bad."

"Everyone in the world thinks that my Sun family only has half of Wu County left, so we must have less food and fewer soldiers. However, with the two crops per year and the dictated land system, our granary has a lot of surplus!"

Thinking of the changes over the years, there was hope in Sun Quan's eyes.

But thinking of the betrayal of the Jiangdong aristocratic families, Sun Quan gritted his teeth again, "When Jiangdong is regained, we must implement the system of land allocation according to the plan in all parts of Jiangdong to make those aristocratic families rebel!"

Zhou Yu nodded, but in his mind he could remember the previous discussion with Huang Yueying and the others.

This plan has already been laid out for us by others.

They are using a borrowed knife to kill people, but there is no other way. They, Jiangdong, must bear this knife.

"By the way, Gongjin, how is our navy?"

"I am already very skilled in cooperating with steamships in combat."

"That's good." Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, when he grew up, he never thought that steam ships would appear.

"I don't know if I can buy Chu An's second-generation steamship." Sun Quan sighed again.

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "It's actually not difficult."

"Not difficult?"

"Now that we have Chu'an's iron-making method, we can also purchase a steamship. Even if we add a layer of iron armor to the outside of the steamship, it will be better than today's steamships."

"But iron rusts easily when it enters water, and it rusts even more when it enters the sea." Sun Quan frowned.

"Leave it to the craftsmen and let them figure it out."

"also may."

The two discussed some more things. Suddenly, Sun Quan mentioned again, "Cao Cao has sent people several times to find out whether he wants to marry us."

"Marriage?" Zhou Yu only thought about it briefly and knew what Cao Cao had in mind.

This marriage partner must be Sun Shangxiang.

Because she is Sun Shao's biological aunt.

If Jiangdong still has some uses in Cao Cao's eyes, it's only Sun Shao.

Of course, there may also be Jiangdong's navy.

Steamship, that's what Cao Cao couldn't get.

There is a sea in the Northland after all.

"Yes." Sun Quan nodded, "Our cooperation with Cao Cao is not stable. It might be better if we form a marriage."

Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Quan and then shook his head, "Cao Cao cooperated with us because he had to. Regardless of marriage or not, the result will not change."

"But we need development and time." Sun Quan said again.

Zhou Yu sighed, "Axiang is not in Jiangdong at the moment. In fact, whether she can come back or not is up for grabs."

"Shao'er is fine, so she will be fine too." Sun Quan was still a little angry when talking about Sun Shangxiang.

Leaving a letter and running away, or going to the enemy's hinterland, would be a waste of life.

"So, if Cao Cao is really sincere about the marriage, he should marry Cao's daughter." Zhou Yu concluded.

"That's true." Sun Quan did not refute.

Just because he still has value, he can be a little more wanton.

At this time, it was too late for Cao Cao to give Liu Bei a headache.

As the title.
