In the Baihua Building, there are also the most beautiful girls standing in the building, all of them with wonderful postures, graceful postures, and beautiful manners.

When he saw Xu Ding, he squatted slightly at the same time, squatted his knees and said softly in unison: "I've seen Xu Gongzi!" ”

The voices of the girls are slender, crispy and numb, making people feel like a sea of flowers, so vibrant.

Xu Ding smiled slightly, then walked straight forward and stepped up the stairs, when the sound of the piano came from upstairs.

This piano sound is nothing else, it is the "Mountains and Flowing Water" played by Xu Ding when he won Judy.

Xu Ding suddenly stopped, frowned slightly, and then turned around to leave.

At this time, a crisp woman came from upstairs and asked, "Childe hasn't gone upstairs yet, why are you leaving?"

"It's not right!" Xu Dingping replied.

"It's not right, but that's how the score given by Childe is played!" The woman's vocal cords resented, as if she was blaming all the problems because of Xu Ding.

Xu Dingdao: "It's the wrong place to play, sorry, I originally wanted to drink, but now it seems that I want to drink tea!" ”

Saying that, Xu Ding walked outside the Baihua Building.

At this time, the sound of the piano upstairs stopped.

I saw Zhu Di poke out her head and shouted: "Brother Xu, please slow down, prepare refreshments upstairs, and please forgive Brother Xu for neglect." ”

Zhu Di didn't expect Xu Ding to leave, just because the song "High Mountains and Flowing Mountains" was an elegant song and was played in Baihualou, Xu Ding was leaving.

Xu Ding looked up at Judy, and then stared at him slightly crookedly: "Are you apologizing, are you begging me to go up?" ”

Judy's eyebrows twitched, and when she saw Xu Ding's serious look, she knew that he would really leave if he didn't give an explanation for this matter.

So I had to endure it, hugged my fists and said: "It was Zhu who neglected Brother Xu and insulted this song, please go upstairs, I and Zhao Zhengyi have been waiting for a long time." ”

Xu Ding said with a smile: "Your Highness is open-minded, and he is really the best example in the world, Xu admires, admires!" ”

Xu Ding went up the ladder again, but he secretly said in his heart, this Judy Qi cultivation kung fu is really the upper level, and this person is the most dangerous among the princes of the Three Kingdoms.

It is not easy to endure the unbearable of ordinary people.

In Xu Ding's heart, he knew very well that Zhu Di was more terrifying and difficult to fight than Zhao Zheng and Li Yuanji.

Because the latter is the enemy on the surface, any tricks of the enemy can be predicted and seen.

Only this black knife cannot be seen or heard.

When Xu Ding went upstairs, the little lady who had just played the song came down from upstairs, and when she passed by Xu Ding's side, she glanced at it with resentment.

Xu Ding also glanced at it in a hurry, it is indeed a rare beauty, but Xu Ding has long been immune, and there are really a lot of wives in various postures at home.

It's not just a beautiful woman who can charm him and make him feel good.

I went upstairs and was introduced into a private room with Judy picking up.

Zhao Zheng got up and signaled, Xu Ding returned the salute, and the three of them sat down.

Sure enough, I heard that Xu Ding drank tea and didn't drink alcohol, and just now Judy asked people to withdraw all the wine.

Now I have to wait for this uncle, Xu Ding, otherwise tonight's scene will be wasted.

"Brother Xu, Xu Tea!" Judy greeted.

Xu Ding picked up the teacup, took a sip gently, then tasted it gently, put down the teacup and said: "Although this tea is good, it is far from the tea in my free city. ”

"Oh! Xiaoyao City also produces tea, which is unheard of. "Judy was a little surprised, in the east of the Longteng Continent, only Nanming is the best tea.

One is the geographical location of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the other is that the craftsmanship is incomparable between the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Western Qin.

Therefore, it is generally the tea of the Southern Ming Dynasty that is sold to the other two countries and the Northern Barbarian realm through the Great Zhou.

Earn a lot of finance and taxes for Nanming.

So Judy was particularly concerned.

Xu Dingdao: "It used to be non-producing, but after I took over, I started to produce, and it will definitely make you love tea more and like tea more." ”

"Hey, you people like to make this drinking thing out of the way." Zhao Zheng listened a little unsaved, originally drinking was their Western Qin people's temperament and hobby.

As a result, because Judy lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot, he withdrew the wine and replaced it with this bitter and bitter tea.

When Xu Ding and Judy heard this, they looked at each other, and then laughed a few times.

Xu Dingdao: "Actually, how can His Highness drink alcohol if he doesn't like tea, Xu has no intention of forcing His Highness to drink tea." ”

Zhao Zhenghu looked at him suspiciously: "What you said is true." ”

Xu nodded fixedly.

Xu Ding can be more tolerant of Zhao Zheng, because he knows that Zhao Zheng is a true man who is impatient and reckless, so his requirements are not high.

Zhao Zheng was overjoyed, and immediately muttered, and a guard sent two jars of wine.

Zhao Zheng split the sealing mud with one palm, and then drank it with a head on his lips.

After a few grunts, half a jar of wine was dry.

"Cool!"

Xu Ding said: "Your Highness has a good amount of wine, but I don't seem to smell this wine enough, tomorrow I will ask my subordinates to send His Highness a few jars of high-grade liquor produced in my free city, which will definitely make His Highness enjoyable." ”

"Oh! You still produce wine in Xiaoyao City, is there really anything stronger, more fragrant and mellower than my Xiqin's wine? Zhao Zheng also had some doubts, you must know that the world's famous wine comes out of Western Qin, and wine is also a major feature of Western Qin, and it was also sold to the Eastern Tang Dynasty and Southern Ming Dynasty through the Great Zhou.

"This is nature, I still have many good things in Xiaoyao City, I dare not say that I am the first in the world, but it is definitely the best in the world, I believe it will not disappoint you." Xu Ding said confidently that this wine and tea were enough to arouse the interest of the two.

This time it was Zhao Zheng and Judy's turn to look at each other, and then the two smiled slightly.

………………

Nanchang City, the capital city of Yuzhang County, Yangzhou of the Han Dynasty.

Sun Jian's mansion, Sun Jian held a report from Donglairi in his hand: "What do you think of these actions of Bokang?" ”

Because of this incident, Sun Jian specially gathered his eldest son Sun Ce, his important advisor Zhou Yu and Sun Quan and Pang Tong who assisted him, and Sun Jian's own advisers.

"Father, I'm afraid that Xu Ding's plan is not simple, shipbuilding skills are the foundation of his foundation, how can he easily announce it to the world, and he is willing to accept talents sent by various states and counties to learn technology in the past, and is willing to cultivate talents for the world, I think he is trying to deceive us, so as to attract our talents to the past, and then detain them." Sun Ce was the first to stand up and say.

Sun Jian didn't say anything and asked Zhou Yu next to Sun Ce: "Gongjin, what do you think?" ”

"Master Hou, what the eldest prince said is not unreasonable, Xu Ding's plans are very big, but he doesn't dare to detain talents openly, because this will ruin his reputation, so we should still be cautious." Zhou Yu stood up and said simply.

Sun Jian looked at Pang Tong again.

Pang Tong said: "Master Hou, Xu Ding's ability to build ironclad warships with the scriptures, and the speed is faster than other ships, I think the basic information he released is to attract more talents in this area, so we should limit the outflow of talents."

The second is to use this method to deter my Yangzhou and Jingzhou, and at the same time it is a signal to the world, he promises not to be afraid of anyone, his self-confidence and his Donglai's strength to reach the point where others cannot shake, from the general trend of the state and county in the world. ”

This time, Sun Jian nodded slightly, and then said: "So in your opinion, these materials are all true and can be learned, and Bo Kang is not afraid of us learning, because he is confident that even if we learn, we can't beat him, he wants to have a firm psychological advantage, so that we can be afraid." ”

The crowd did not reply, and silence was acquiescence.

"Then what do you think we can digest the techniques he announced, and is it possible for our navy to defeat him?" Finally, Sun Jian still asked such a sentence that he didn't want to say.

Last year, before the first battle, Jiujiang and the Huiji Water Army were defeated in the first battle, and almost all of them were wiped out.

Not even the slightest ability to resist.

Yes, it is undeniable that these two naval armies have been established for a short time, and the entire entity is inferior to the main naval army under Chi Jian's own command that is rampant on the surface of the great river.

But that kind of result is really unacceptable.

Especially the information collected on the Donglai Navy warship, there was a feeling of suffocation for him.

All counties in Yangzhou are mainly connected to waterways, and water wars are inevitable.

It is an important factor in determining the ownership of Yangzhou.

Compared with Donglai's navy, it is too powerful, so his Yangzhou may be overturned and swallowed by Xu Ding at any time.

How can Sun Jian be calm.

Therefore, before the beginning of spring, several sons and important strategists and civil officials were summoned back for a meeting.

Let's talk about the way forward.

Sun Ce Zhou Yu glanced at each other, Sun Quan looked at Pang Tong, and the others also looked at each other in pairs.

In the end, Zhou Yu and Pang Tong and others replied: "Master Hou, with the current situation, even if we learn these shipbuilding techniques, we are not the opponent of the Donglai Navy, the growth of the Navy takes a long time, and the construction of ships also takes time.

But if we don't learn, if we don't become stronger, we will lose even worse than before when we start a war in the future, and we will not even have a glimmer of hope. ”

Sure enough, Sun Jian sighed in his heart.

Xu Ding will always be that unsurpassable benchmark.

Everything is ahead of the curve, you can only chase, not overcome.

"Father, the most important thing is that Xu Ding has released these materials, Jingzhou will definitely quickly digest and strengthen the Jingzhou Water Army, even if there is no Donglai Water Army, we will face the re-emergence of Jingzhou, so Xu Ding is forcing us to re-establish a rift with Jingzhou, have a conflict, and force us to learn his shipbuilding skills." Sun Quan got up, pointed Maotou to Jingzhou, and reminded Sun Jiandao.

If Jingzhou is not won, Yangzhou will never be able to compete with Xu Ding.

Last year's war completely woke up Sun Quan.

With the strength of the Sun family, it is far from provocative.

Xu Ding did not dispatch the main army, but as soon as the local troops counterattacked, the Sun family lost a large piece of territory and took away his Sun Quan's foothold.

What a painful realization.

Sun Quan is also a wise man.

"What my son said is good, we are so ambitious, Bokang is not our direct goal now, without Jingzhou as a backer for the juniors, we and Bokang will never have a chance of winning, and winning Liu Biaofang is what we need to do in the next stage, or even a long time." Sun Jian's eyes suddenly became a little far-reaching, he looked at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and then said:

"Although the two of you think that Yuan Shu is a fake, but you must not provoke the Donglai Army, if Yuan Shu wants to move Xuzhou, you two must be persuaded to stop, and when we eat Liu Biao, we are saying that now we Yangzhou is more about recuperation, and Liu Biao will fight with him."

Sun Ce wanted to say no, but his father's obscenity was stronger than him, and Zhou Yu also touched him lightly, so he had to hug his fists and say, "It's the father, the child understands." ”

Zhou Yu also said: "It's Master Hou, we must focus on the overall situation, and we will not prepare a naval army in Jiujiang for the time being, so as to paralyze the Donglai army." ”

Sun Jian was satisfied, and then looked at Sun Quan: "You are the same, Danyang is too close to Wu County, so stay in Yuzhang and follow me in the future and study hard." ”

"Whoa!" Sun Quan is also a little helpless, if he stays by Sun Jian's side, he will have no chance to fly and form his own army.

Jingzhou!

Just as Pang Tong said, after seeing Xu Ding's Donglai Monthly Report, Biao Liu Biao also urgently summoned the civil and military personnel for a meeting, and then unanimously agreed to build a new ship and study Xu Ding's new technology.

And increase efforts to attract talents, increase the strength of the navy.

is also more eyeing Yangzhou.

Xu Ding's enemy is still too far away, not next to each other, and the threat only exists on paper or in imagination.

Sun Jian's threat is always there.

Although the two reached a reconciliation and quelled the war.

But Liu Biao and his civil and military officers would not stop like this.

Half of Jingzhou was lost, what a shame.

Without Jiangxia, Changsha and other counties, is it still a complete Jingzhou?

Liu Biao also wanted to take it back, so naturally he was also gearing up.

…………

Xu Ding, Zhao Zheng and Zhu Di drank tea wine for half a night in Baihualou, and Xu Ding and the three of them said goodbye and left.

No one knew what the three of them talked about.

I only know that everyone has a smile on their faces when they leave, like friends who haven't seen each other for many years, and they are intimate.

This adds even more mystery to the trio's night party.

When Xu Ding returned to his residence, Xu Shu had not yet fallen asleep and was still waiting for him.

"Lord, what's the situation?" Seeing Xu Ding coming back, Xu Shu let go of his worries, this is the Longteng Continent is not a big man, and Xu Ding's security is far less reliable than over there.

There are the ordnance of the Western Qin, the firearms of the Southern Ming, and the inscription formation of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, all of which can form a strong constraint on Xu Ding and directly threaten his safety.

Xu Dingdao: "Don't worry, Yuanzhi, everything is in the plan, Zhao Zheng and Zhu Di really want to paralyze and win me over, and I will also repay him in the same way without suffering."

And I have also reached a lot of consensus with them, and in the future, our things can be sold to Nanming and Western Qin by their hands, and we are guaranteed to obtain great benefits.

At the same time, I also asked them to buy firearms and ordnance. ”

"They agreed?" Xu Shu couldn't wait to know.

The firearms of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the ordnance of the Western Qin Dynasty are the most important existences in this world.

As long as you can get your hands on it and copy it well, Donglai will definitely take off quickly.

It can speed up the unification of the Han Dynasty and end the disputes and wars of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible.

"They promised to buy their second-tier or obsolete equipment, but not too much." Xu Ding replied.

Zhao Zheng and Judy are both little foxes, this is just a little sweetness given by paralyzing themselves, and it is impossible to strengthen themselves.

Xu Shu said: "This is also very good, with the original, it is more convenient for us to study, I believe that as long as we are willing to work hard, with our efforts there will always be a day to catch up." ”

"It's hard to say, we have never been able to crack the mysterious material elements of this Dragon Teng Continent, even if we can catch up with them in form, we still can't compare to them internally." Xu Dingdao:

"For example, Nanming's firearms, Judy will only sell some base powder in limited supply, and it is difficult to hoard the quantity, and after he returns, he will definitely block the private trade, and it will be difficult for us to buy from the private sector."
