On the second floor, three people sat around a table, drinking sake while talking about major events in the world.
Speaking of the recent major events in the world, it is natural that the vigorous shipbuilding movement in Chenliu County under the rule of Cao Cao is indispensable.
"It is said that Jiangdong Wuyue is a gentle town, the beauty is like water, weak and shadowless, the scenery is beautiful, and the fields are warm in spring..." Zhuge Jin admired the beauty and beauties of Jiangdong, while picking up peanuts from the Central Plains , Put it in your mouth and chew it with a "click".
When Zhou Yu heard this, he smiled and said, "Brother Ziyu is right...but in Jiangdong, besides beautiful scenery and beauties, we also have strong men and a talented and generous monarch!"
"Hehe." Sitting between Zhou Yu and Zhuge Jin, Pang Tong chuckled and said, "It's easy to break when it's too hard, but it's easy to break if it's soft. Only the combination of hardness and softness can go further."
"What Shi Yuan said was... come, I'll toast you!" Zhou Yu was not only extremely handsome, but also had a free and easy demeanor.
Compared with Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, who looks like a joke, looks a little wretched and even hot-eyed.
But Zhuge Jin and Zhou Yu present here all respected Pang Tong, just because Pang Tong had a world-class talent.
Pang Tong doesn't like meaningless social interaction. He thinks that a group of people gathering together to talk about Fengyue is a waste of time and life.
Pang Tong picked up his wine glass, drank it all by himself, and then looked at Zhuge Jin and said, "Lu Yan has already started building warships. It is said that the deputy who will assist him this time is your own brother Ziyu. Zhuge Liang?"
Of course Zhou Yu also knew the news. Now that Pang Tong asked, Zhou Yu was also very curious about how Zhuge Jin would answer.
The expression on Zhuge Jin's face did not change at all, and he said: "At the beginning, the Patriarch ordered me to go our separate ways... I feel that I have little talent and learning, so I took a shortcut and accepted the Patriarch's recommendation to the Lord...
The second younger brother, Zhuge Liang, hoped to further his studies in Taixue, so he stayed in the Central Plains to serve the imperial court. "
"The imperial court...hehe." Pang Tong laughed, and didn't bother about Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin splitting up the vote for the two masters, but changed the subject and said: "When Cao Cao conquered the world, it was the day when the imperial court changed its name... Tzuyu, what do you think?"
Zhuge Jin shook his head and said: "Whether Cao Cao will usurp the throne, I don't know; and whether Cao Cao can sweep the world down is still unknown!"
Seeing this, Zhou Yu calmly poured wine for Pang Tong, Zhuge Jin, and himself, and then continued: "Although Cao Cao has many soldiers, they are not good at water. Lu Yan chose to build a ship on the Yellow River, which highlights his love for the navy and the sea. It’s too childish to defeat our Jiangdong and Jingzhou navy with these false pretenses.”
"But I heard that they are building a warship that can sail in the sea." Pang Tong continued.
"In the whole world, the only one that can sail in the sea is my Jiangdong Sun family's shipyard."
"Then Lu Yan has always planned for a rainy day, and never does anything he is not sure of..."
Zhou Yu raised his hand, interrupted Pang Tong, and said: "Although I am not talented, I have been entrusted by the two generations of Jiangdong masters, and I have never dared to slack off in the slightest.
The navy is the foundation of my foothold in Jiangdong, and I have always been in charge of training...
Cao Cao and Lu Yan want to catch up from behind, I'm afraid it will not be so easy. "
Although what Zhou Yu said was a little arrogant, it was also true.
You, Lu Yan, are inventing and seeking progress. Is it possible that I, Zhou Yu, am a wooden man, standing still and waiting for you?
Zhuge Jin and Pang Tong both laughed and said nothing, but Zhou Yu continued: "Although Lu Yan wants to build a big ship that can sail in the sea, even my Jiangdong building ship can't guarantee that it will be safe in the sea.
Shipbuilding is not armor and weapons, and new discoveries can be seen immediately.
Shipbuilding requires years or even decades of accumulation of technology, experience and manpower.
I am afraid that he, Lu Yan, wants to build a warship that can compete with our Jiangdong Navy in recent years. I am afraid it is just a whimsical and daydream. "
Hearing this, Zhuge Jin finally couldn't help but said: "Gong Jin, you'd better not underestimate Lu Yan..."
"I never underestimated him, I was just telling the truth..."
Pang Tong glanced at Zhou Yu, and said in his heart, "Zhou Yu is elegant and elegant on the surface, but actually he doesn't want others to overwhelm him..."
Thinking of this, Pang Tong's heart suddenly shrouded in a shadow, "I don't know whether I am right or wrong in coming to Jiangdong...Forget it, no matter what the result is, I still have to see Sun Quan first."
The three of them had their own thoughts and were silent for a long time.
Zhuge Jin, who was still the calmest, broke the slightly awkward atmosphere, "Gong Jin, the purpose of my coming here this time is to strengthen the alliance between Jiangdong and Jingzhou... The situation is urgent, and I will meet you tomorrow. See Marquis Wu."
Of course Zhou Yu also knew the priorities. Even though he no longer wanted to believe that Lu Yan could come to Jiangdong from the sea, he couldn't relax his defense against Cao Cao.
"Okay, today you and Shi Yuan have a good night's rest, and tomorrow I will take you to meet Marquis Wu!"
Zhugejin and Pang Tong got up together and said, "Thank you Gongjin!"
"It's easy to talk!" Zhou Yu took them one by one to sit down, and said, "It's rare for us to get together today, so we shouldn't talk about those annoying things, we should have a drink and talk!"
"Come on, Gongjin, I offer you a toast!" Zhugejin said, holding up the wine glass.
"Do first and respect!"
The three people on board were of the same age, and they were all talented people.In addition, the two of them are now in the honeymoon period of their alliance. After setting aside some differences, the more they talked, the more speculative they became. Before they knew it, it was getting dark.
After the three of them rested on the island for one night, early the next morning, Zhou Yu took Zhuge Jin and Pang Tong to meet Sun Quan as scheduled.
"Jingzhou envoy Zhuge Jin, see Wuhou!"
"Pang Tong, a student of Lumen, see Marquis Wu!"
After seeing Sun Quan, Zhuge Jin and Pang Tong saluted Sun Quan respectively.
When Sun Quan came to Zhuge Jin, he was extremely warm and familiar, but after coming to Pang Tong...
"My God, how can this person be so ugly?!"
Chapter 416 Developed, can't forget the old brother
In the seventh year of Jian'an, in July, Jiangxia County.
Gan Ning and a few old brothers dressed up as rich merchants and entered Jiangxia County with a caravan from the Central Plains.
The target of their trip was not the water bandits in Jiangxia County, but Su Fei, the Captain Zhechong under Jiangxia Huangzu's subordinates.
Speaking of Su Fei, he was one of the few people whom Gan Ning referred to as his confidant.
Su Fei and Gan Ning have always been friends.
Many years ago, when Gan Ning was about to abandon the bandits and join the army, Su Fei recommended Gan Ning to Huang Zu several times.
But because Gan Ning was born as a water thief, he was disgusted by Huang Zu. Although Gan Ning still joined Huang Zu's navy, he ended up as a small school, and his soldiers were only the three hundred brocades he brought. sail thief.
Later, when Gan Ning supported Liu Xun, he was persuaded by Zhang Xue and Liu Ye to switch to Cao Cao. Only then did he start to be reused, and he became the commander of the current navy all the way from the school captain.
Although the commander of the navy is only the fourth rank, he can manage all the navy under Cao Cao and Lu Yan. Among all the generals with real power, his military power can be regarded as the heaviest handful.
Regarding Lu Yan's arrangement, Gan Ning was overjoyed and slightly nervous.
Although water warfare is his forte, his opponents are Jingzhou and Jiangdong Navy, and even Gan Ning feels a lot of pressure.
Where there is pressure, there is motivation.
In order to live up to the trust of Lu Yan and Cao Cao, Gan Ning made up his mind to train a navy beyond Jiangdong and Jingzhou.
In a navy, the most important thing is people.
Cao Cao and Lu Yan's subordinates are landlubbers, and they can't join the navy at all.Even if they are forced to join the navy, it will not last for three to five years, and I am afraid that they will not be able to overcome the difficulties of fighting on the water.
Since twisted melons are not sweet, why not pick fresh melons from places rich in melons... That's why Gan Ning, under Lu Yan's instruction, came to the south, planning to recruit a group of water thieves, or Win over some unsatisfactory bottom-level sailors and officers.
Back then, when Huang Zu wanted to send troops to reinforce Liu Xun, it was Su Fei who used his official career as a guarantee to fight for Gan Ning, which gave Gan Ning a chance to perform.
But the dramatic thing is that after rescuing Liu Xun, Gan Ning voted for Cao Cao, which directly caused Su Fei to be implicated, and was eventually rejected by Huang Zu.
Su Fei, who was already the governor of Jiangxia at the beginning, has now become a partial general... So many years have passed, but Su Fei's official position has not been promoted but has been demoted, so he is naturally gloomy and unhappy.
Su Fei's current situation is more or less thanks to Gan Ning, and he himself seems a bit decadent, but Su Fei has never regretted helping Gan Ning.Because in his opinion, Gan Ning has both wisdom and courage, and he is bold and righteous. True gold will shine sooner or later, so Su Fei sincerely hopes that Gan Ning will have a better future... As for himself, let's live a day. ..
The sun was shining brightly, and Su Fei was doing daily drills in the water army camp, but the drills were only drills by the soldiers themselves, while Su Fei was lying in the tent and dozing off.
The unshaven Su Fei smelled of alcohol, not only because his career was not going his way, Su Fei even felt that everything was not going his way.
Suddenly, a messenger came to the account to report: "General, someone outside the camp asked to see him, saying that he was an old friend of yours."
The soldier said, and handed a golden bell to Su Fei.
Su Fei sat up in a daze. He looked at the bell in the messenger's hand, and his eyes gradually showed disbelief.
Stretching out his hand and rubbing his eyes vigorously, Su Fei made sure that it wasn't the vertigo caused by drunkenness, then reached out and twirled the bell.
"Dingling!" The bell rang with Su Fei's hand.
Hearing the familiar ringtone, Su Fei became excited and shouted: "That's right, that's the voice!"
Su Fei didn't know why Gan Ning appeared here, but his old friend's visit was naturally something to be happy about.
Gan Ning waited outside the navy camp for a short time when he saw Su Fei rushing out of the camp and shouted: "Brother Xingba! Hahaha!"
Hearing this hearty laughter, the corners of Gan Ning's mouth couldn't help grinning, and he also laughed and shouted: "Brother Su! Long time no see!"
The two big men hugged each other fiercely, hammering each other's backs with a "bang bang" sound.
"Brother Xingba, I have heard about the eight hundred iron cavalry who robbed Yuan Ying at night. You should be of great use under Prime Minister Cao's command!" Su Fei asked enviously.
Gan Ning chuckled, and said: "In addition to robbing Yuan's camp at night, I also participated in the Northern Expedition to Yuan Shao, hunting down high-ranking officials, exterminating Wuhuan and so on.
How about you, are you more envious? "
Envious, how can you not be envious!Although Gan Ning did not achieve any great fame in these large-scale battles, it is a kind of luck and honor to participate in it. As for the credit, it can always be accumulated.
Su Fei's envious eyes were red at the moment, he pulled Gan Ning, and said: "I have good wine at home, come, come home with me, let's talk about your 'brilliant' achievements!"
Gan Ning grabbed Su Fei's arm and said, "I begged some Erguotou from my husband, we brothers will get drunk today!"
"Erguotou?!" Su Fei is also a good drinker. For the rumored "Erguotou" that only high-ranking people in the court are lucky enough to get in touch with, Su Fei never imagined that he would drink Erguotou one day!
But Su Fei thought about it again, "Gan Ning was able to ask for Erguotou? Does that mean that he has a very good relationship with Cao Cao's upper class?"
Thinking of this, Su Fei couldn't help but pulled Gan Ning back, and asked softly, "Brother Xingba, tell me the truth, are you a prosperous under Cao Cao now?"
Gan Ning did not answer directly, but said: "This is not a place to talk, let's find a place to talk about it in detail."
"Okay, let's go to my house, it's quiet there."
......
Su Fei's house is indeed very quiet, there is no one else except himself.Both of his parents died in his early years and he did not marry a wife and have children. Although he is now in his late twenties, he is still alone.
"Birth is really important in this age." Su Fei said to Gan Ning with a wry smile.
Looking at Su Fei's house that has not changed from before, Gan Ning replied with a smile after hearing Su Fei's words: "That's just because you didn't meet the right person."
Su Fei sighed and didn't go deep into this issue.
He dragged Gan Ning into the house and asked: "Brother Xingba, why did you appear in Jiangxia?"
Gan Ning took out a bottle of Erguotou in a glass bottle from the younger brother who came in later, and replied, "It's so obvious, can't you see it?"
Su Fei didn't know what to say when he heard the words.
Seeing this, Gan Ning thought Su Fei was hesitant, so he unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle and said, "Brother Su, don't rush to make a decision, we brothers haven't had a good drink for a long time, let's have a taste of Erguotou first." !"
When the wine bottle was opened, a strong fragrance immediately permeated the entire room.
Not only Su Fei, but Gan Ning's younger brothers also showed a look of intoxication and enjoyment.
Poured a bowl of wine for Su Fei and himself, Gan Ning handed the bottle with half of the wine left to his younger brother and said, "One person at most, this wine is strong, drinking too much will cause trouble."
The little brothers took the Erguotou in surprise, nodded and bowed as if they had found a treasure, and said, "Thank you, brother! Brothers know the priorities, and they will not dare to be greedy!"
"Go."
"okay!"
Chapter 417 Han, the commander of the navy is here!
Gan Ning and Su Fei chatted until late at night.
One was spitting all over the place, and the other was staring at it, looking forward to it.
Gan Ning's mouth was dry and tongue dry, and then he stopped.
Su Fei took the opportunity to sigh with emotion: "Oh... I never imagined that Brother Xingba would have such a colorful life under Lu Huss, I really envy my little brother!"
"Huang Zu and Liu Biao are not successful people, only Prime Minister Cao is the real overlord!"
Su Fei had a question in his mind, so he asked: "Brother Xingba, I have a question..."
Gan Ning took a sip of the wine, which was like white water, and said, "Speak up if you have something to say, why bother you and my brother... It's just that the wine is too boring..."
Su Fei used to think that these were rare treasures for him, but after drinking Erguotou today, drinking these "treasures" also feels as bland as drinking plain water...
But having something to drink is better than nothing at all... Su Fei drank a bowl of wine and said, "From what you said, it seems that Lu Huqi didn't recognize Prime Minister Cao as his master, so what is the relationship between them? Indeed, this wine is too boring to drink..."
Hearing this, Gan Ning put down his wine bowl, with a look of admiration in his eyes, and said: "Lu Hussar and Prime Minister Cao are true friends of gentlemen.
Prime Minister Cao has the talent and ambition to dominate the world, while Lu Hussar has the talent to govern the country...
