Chapter 400: Horse Trial
"You're too presumptuous." Mrs. Sun lay on Cao Miao. "Not next time."
"Well, next time it's a different set." Cao Miao clasped her hands behind her head, looked at the white clouds in the sky, and said seriously.
"Nonsense! If I am seen, do I still have a face? Mrs. Sun stood up and said angrily. Cao Miao looked into her half-open placket, infatuated, she was really a woman who couldn't be mastered. Sensing that Cao Miao's eyes were wrong, Mrs. Sun looked down, and was immediately ashamed, reached out and pinched Cao Miao's cheek, and twisted it hard.
Cao Miao screamed in pain, rolled over, pressed Mrs. Sun down, and shouted through gritted teeth: "Do you want to kill people?" ”
"You've hurt me so badly, I just want to kill you." Mrs. Sun opened her mouth, revealing her white and neat teeth, and made it look like she was going to eat people.
"Let the people have a conscience." Cao Miao sighed and buried her face in Mrs. Sun's chest. "I listen, your conscience is still there."
Mrs. Sun couldn't help laughing, pressed Cao Miao's moving head, and hugged him tightly in her arms. Looking at the clear blue sky, the white clouds, and the cool wind, she exhaled pleasantly, and then looked sad. Days like these are destined to be fleeting. No matter how she convinces herself, this is an unruly love after all, and it will not come to fruition.
Unless they actually go out to sea, to an island where no one else is around.
"Yunliang, do you really have a way to transform the sea ship?"
Cao Miao raised her head and looked at Mrs. Sun's flushed face, her misty eyes, and blinked. "Would you really like to go to sea with me?"
"You don't believe me?"
"I believe it." Cao Miao lowered her head and kissed her, turned over, and lay side by side with Mrs. Sun. "But can you let go of Wu Guo?"
"Without me, there is the big tiger." Mrs. Sun sighed. "Actually, I'm not a qualified governor, many people are better than me. My only advantage is that my surname is Sun. ”
"I think so too."
"Really?" Mrs. Sun's eyes were a little unkind.
"Your personality is not suitable for this kind of intrigue and deceit. You are like your father and brother, fit to win the game. If you had commanded the army, perhaps Hefei City would have been yours long ago. ”
Mrs. Sun stopped talking, and her face showed a trace of regret. In fact, she has long had such an idea, and the commander of the camp to relieve trouble? Arrange for a spy to do a detailed job? Compared with spying on the news, she is more willing to be like her father Sun Shi and eldest brother Sun Ce? Commanding thousands of troops? Fight on the battlefield.
But that's not something she can decide. She doesn't complain about Sun Quan, can she be in charge of the trouble-relief camp as a woman? Sun Quan is already under a lot of pressure, if he leads the army to fight again? Got into the military power? The contradictions provoked will be even greater, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will raise troops to rebel.
"Otherwise, let's take some more people to the sea, and you are responsible for commanding the army? I'm in charge of the foot soldiers. Surely those barbarians are no match for you? In a few years, we may be able to lay down a large piece of land, and then we will be the emperor of the country, and you will be the female emperor. ”
"Is there a big piece of land overseas?" Mrs. Sun squinted at Cao Miao and couldn't help laughing. Knowing that Cao Miao was teasing her? She's still happy.
"Who knows, maybe there will be." Cao Miao laughed and said, "The world is bigger than you think." ”
"Shall we go back then? Hurry up and build a ship. "Mrs. Sun turned over and sat up, covering her clothes? And he took the cloak from the side. While dressing, she stabbed Cao Miao. "Hurry? Someone's coming. ”
Cao Miao turned her head to look? See smoke and dust in the distance? Thin and straight, straight into the sky, it was the smoke and dust unique to the galloping cavalry, and the female guards who knew that it might be Madame Sun followed. He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got dressed. Mrs. Sun helped Cao Miao tidy up, and then asked Cao Miao to look at her to make sure that there would be no flaws, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Sun Qing came to the foot of the mountain with two female guards, saw Cao Miao and Mrs. Sun's mounts, turned over and dismounted, ordered the female guards to wait below, and walked up by herself, shouting loudly as she walked.
Mrs. Sun stood up, answered, beckoned to Sun Qing, and gave Cao Miao another look.
Cao Miao smiled knowingly.
Sun Qing walked up, crossed his waist, panting. "Madam, you scared us to death, and you thought you were held hostage by Cao Su."
Mrs. Sun had a straight face. "It's just a horse, what's all the fuss. Let's go, go back to the city, there's a bunch of things to take care of. As he spoke, he ignored Cao Miao and strode down the hill.
Cao Miao glanced around and followed down the mountain. When he came to the foot of the mountain, Mrs. Sun had already left, leaving only Sun Qing and another female guard waiting. Sun Qing's face was slightly red, and his eyes were a little strange when he looked at Cao Miao.
Cao Miao pretended not to see it, turned on his horse, and galloped towards Wuchang City.
——
Ge Heng held a few ship models and led a middle-aged man to the flying house.
Cao Miao was lying on a recliner and was enjoying the leisure of summer. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he turned his head to look, and when he saw that there was a living person, he sat up slowly, pulled up his clothes, and put on his coat again.
Ge Heng came to Cao Miao and introduced him to Cao Miao. The middle-aged man's surname is Wei Wen, the word Boliang, is the general of the Wu Army's naval division, with nearly 100 ships and nearly 3,000 soldiers. Wei Wen looked at Cao Miao twice, bowed his hand, his expression was indifferent, and he was a little disapproving.
Cao Miao smiled and ordered someone to take melons and fruits to entertain Wei Wen and Ge Heng. Although they didn't say the specific intention, he knew that it was related to the renovation of the building. If he remembers correctly, this Wei Wen was the first mainlander to arrive in Taiwan with clear records, and one of his failed voyages marked the clear rule of the Chinese nation over the island of Taiwan, which was repeatedly mentioned in later generations.
Wei Wen sat down and didn't say a word. Ge Heng was a little short of breath and smiled wryly. As soon as he was about to speak, Cao Miao raised his hand to interrupt him and turned to Wei Wen.
"General Wei intends to go to sea?"
Wei Wen nodded slightly. "Da Wu inherits the mandate of heaven, and it should be Weijia overseas. Although Wen is not talented, he was ordered by the Supreme to go to sea to declare the destiny of heaven. ”
"How many years has General Wei led the Sailors?"
Wei Wen said unhurriedly: "The Supreme will not give up, and he has been conquering with the Supreme since the fifth year of Jian'an, and it has been nearly thirty years now. ”
"After thirty years of fighting, I think the military knows everything about the warship?"
"I know everything about it, I know a little bit about it."
"In the general's opinion, what is the biggest problem in going to sea?"
Referring to specific questions, Wei Wen's expression became serious. "You can only use large ships to go to sea, and the ships are small and have limited items to carry them, which cannot meet the needs of long voyages. However, the ship should not be too big, the sea is high and the waves are urgent, the ship is too big, it is difficult for manpower to maneuver, and there is a risk of capsizing. ”
He looked at Cao Miao, and the corners of his mouth trembled. "I heard that the township has a plan, so Wen came to ask for advice."
"But you don't believe it." Cao Miao laughed silently. "You think I'm young, and I don't have any experience in boating, let alone a day as a shipman. Everything that is said and discussed is nothing more than grandstanding, whimsical, and cannot be applied at all, right? ”
Wei Wen looked at Cao Miao in surprise, and said with a smile: "Wen is lonely and unheard, and his knowledge is limited, so I have indeed never heard of Cao Jun's shipbuilding. ”
