When negotiating with someone, you must not let people lead the nose, once you fall into the other party's thinking and follow his ideas, you will inexplicably feel that what he said is very reasonable.

Listening to Zhao Hao's rambling, Xin Bi almost had a nervous breakdown, and crawled away from Xiakou with a roll, and was in a trance all day. He didn't know how to explain the results of this mission to Cao Cao when he went back, especially how to explain his daughter's affairs......

Damn, this guy is such a crazy person, you have to stay away from him next time you say anything.

Xin Bi's arrival was just a small episode, Zhao Hao knew that Sun Quan would definitely not be able to endure this humiliation, so it was reasonable that he had to recapture Xiakou.

Therefore, while spreading the news of joining forces with Cao Cao to attack Sun Quan, he hurried up the time to let Ma Jun lead people to build ships by the Han River.

The warships of this era are all flat-bottomed bathtub type, not to mention the keel, and even the V-shaped wave bottom has not been invented, and the stability in the water is very poor, so it makes sense for Cao Cao to let the ship connect the city with iron cables.

Of course, the V bottom is generally used for sea ships, and Zhao Hao, who is not learned and unskilled, of course does not know the key to this, but he just grabbed the genius scientist Ma Jun, drew the keel and V bottom to him, and let him figure out his own way.

To be honest, if others estimate that they would have gone crazy, but Ma Jun's thinking is different from others, seeing that Zhao Hao actually shared such a subtle design with him for free, he also felt that Zhao Hao trusted him very much, and he had been studying the structure of the keel these days.

After understanding the principle of keel load-bearing, he also drew inferences from one case and proposed to add longitudinal structural parts such as keels on both sides of the hull to form dragon ribs to continue to increase the stability of the ship.

There was no shortage of shipwrights in Xiakou, and Zhao Hao sent hundreds of shipwrights from Xiakou to go into battle together, and a large number of conscripts were sent to cooperate with production.

Because of the habits of his previous life, he actually gave money to these conscripts, so that these conscripts looked at each other, not knowing what was going on in the young general's mind.

"This work is a matter of life and death for us, Brother Deheng, it's all up to you. If you can build me three big ships, this credit will be no worse than that of capturing the flag, and I will definitely speak for you in front of General Guan when the time comes. ”

In order to speed up the progress, Zhao Hao also introduced the working methods of the assembly line in later generations, commanding all the shipbuilders to do this and I do that, which can greatly improve the efficiency of shipbuilding, coupled with the dissatisfaction of many shipwrights with Sun Quan's various policies {especially economic policies} when he occupied Xiakou, several new warships were quickly constructed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they could soon be installed in Zhao Hao's back army.

……

Outside Jiangling City, Sun Quan was pacing back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Hao rejected his suggestion cleanly, seemingly completely ignoring Zhao Lei's life and death, and Zhao Lei also verbally rejected Sun Quan's surrender, and even started a hunger strike these days, making Sun Quan a little helpless.

Lu Yi in the tent didn't dare to breathe, and looked at the anxious appearance of the lord with low eyebrows.

"Is there any news from Pan Jun?"

Hearing Pan Jun's name, Lu Yi subconsciously clenched his fists with both hands, but he still said with a smile: "General Pan is really brave and strategic, Wen Bu and Deng Kai are in chaos, they have all been beheaded by him, and they will return soon." ”

Sun Quan nodded noncommittally and began pacing back and forth again.

After another moment, Sun Quan raised his head and said, "Lu Yi, have you found out who leaked the secret?" ”

Sun Quan was angry about the leak, and now all the evidence proves that Guan Yu used this genius tactic to attack Xiakou after getting the information that he was going to attack Jiangling in advance.

If it weren't for Mi Fang's timidity, he surrendered the city without letting go of an arrow, he would have been blocked on the Yangtze River for thousands of miles, and he could not advance or retreat, and his troops might have collapsed.

Lu Yi was silent, and Sun Quan did not blame.

Before, Lu Yi pointed all the presences at Lu Yi, but Lu Yi fought bravely in the recent battle, showing strong military talent and strong fighting spirit, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a leaker, and Lu Yi couldn't frame him again, so he was silent.

Sun Quan sighed again and said, "Where is Zishan?" ”

"When I entered Lingling, I happened to meet Xi Zhen and Fan Zhou who rebelled, and now they are chasing the two thieves."

"No matter how important it is!" Sun Quan let out a long sigh, "Quickly send a quick order to Bu Qi to go north immediately, Ziming is seriously ill, and only when he comes can we be sure of victory." The matter of suppressing bandits will be handed over to Pan Jun. ”

"I have the labor lord to worry about."

As he was talking, Lu Meng's angry voice came from outside the tent. He hurriedly entered the account without notification, knelt down to Sun Quanxing and said: "Lord, the minister is fine, I am willing to go to Xiakou for the lord." ”

Lü Meng was already ill, and this attack on Gangneung was quite laborious, and now his condition has worsened a lot.

He staggered, his face was sallow, and his voice was slightly hoarse. Sun Quan hurriedly helped him up and sighed: "This thief is strong, even if he recaptures Xiakou, he may not be able to punish this thief, Ziming, you take care of your body first, and you will come to fight with this fang in the future." ”

Lu Meng was moved, and choked up: "I have received great grace from the lord, although I can't report a thing or two even if I die."

Now Wuling, Lingling, and Nanjun are all in my hands, and if I break this thief again, then my great cause of Dongwu can be accomplished. Please ask the Lord to order Meng to go to war and retake Xiakou for the Lord Gong! ”

Sun Quan treats people coldly, very coldly.

But for Lu Meng, it is excellent, very good.

He listened to Lu Meng's words and cared for him, how could he bear to let Lu Meng drag his sick body to fight again.

He clenched Lu Meng's hands tightly, hesitated, shook his head, and said, "Ziming, you will raise it."

Youping has long been enterprising, and I have promised him to go. ”

"But ......"

"No, but, go back and recuperate."

Seeing Lu Meng away, Sun Quan took a deep breath and said, "Call Youping, Yigong, Yifeng, and Wen to see me." ”

Lu Yi was shocked and said, "Lord, you are ......"

"Nanjun was initially decided, and I can't do it in person, but ...... Xiakou must be recaptured. This time, let Youping supervise everyone, and say that he will take the head of the thief. ”

……

When Sun Quan was preparing to recapture Xiakou, Zhao Hao also began to concentrate his forces and prepared to face Sun Quan directly.

Zhang Dang, the spy leader who had been lurking in the Wenpin army, passed on an important piece of information to him - Cao Cao, who had been in the army of the commander of Mopi to conquer Guan Yu, had not been seen in public for several days.

Cao Ren and Xu Huang, who had been besieging under Fancheng City, had not launched a large-scale attack for several days, and Guan Yu judged that Cao Cao should be seriously ill, which would not work.

Zhao Hao's judgment is the same.

He remembered that shortly after Guan Yu's death, Cao Cao also died.

In real history, Guan Yu was almost finished at this time, Cao Cao could naturally go back leisurely for a while, but now Guan Yu is still alive, the army is very violent, Cao Cao in order to win his personal expedition in the ice and snow, this era when there is not even cotton, and catch up with the plague, it is natural for him to get sick as an old man.

The people on all sides even made the same judgment - Cao Cao was afraid that he would be forced to withdraw his troops like the Battle of Hanzhong, ending this hopeless battle ahead of schedule.

"Cao Cao is cunning and wise, so he has to guard against it. Although General Guan really wanted to lead his army back to fight Jiangling, he was not in a hurry at this time.

However, Jiangbei Yinping's troops can cross south first, and we will concentrate our forces and force Sun Quan to carry out the main decisive battle, so as to end this damn war as soon as possible. ”

"But...... What about those Eastern Wu captives under General Yinping? And a few thousand more! ”

"Hmm, what's the matter, the Yangtze River is not covered, they like to go wherever they like, I will write to Yinping, I believe she will make the right judgment."

Yang Yi was dumbfounded beside him, and said for a long time: "The two generals are of one heart and one mind, it is really a good blessing for our army." ”

Sun Luban was used to secretly observing near Zhao Hao, and Zhao Hao didn't bother to avoid her when dealing with military affairs.

He also took advantage of Sun Luban's existence to "accidentally" reveal that he had contact with Lu Yi every once in a while, and Yang Yi was anxious to slap his eyes at this time, which made Sun Luban more suspicious of Lu Yi in his heart.

Come on, Sun Quan, I'm going to give you a grand gift.
