Chapter 284: Wooden Oxen and Flowing Horses

Zhou Yu's cautious personality could not plunder the beauty of others, and hurriedly said: "Yun Chang's words are wrong, since the emperor's edict has been issued, there is no reason to change it. Zhou is stationed in the Red Sea, and he has nothing to do, and he is always a counselor. When the canal is opened, the army will be immediately waved into the Mediterranean, and there will be no time to be distracted from the aftermath. ”

Guan Yu had already understood the reason for Liu Ze's vigorous development of the naval army at this time, there were thousands of Han generals, and there were only a dozen people who could really command the naval army, and the best of them were only three or five people, and Zhou Yu was an outstanding representative of them. Zhou Yu led the navy, pacified Jiaozhou, went south to Linyi, Funan, and expeditioned to Luzon, which can be described as a great achievement, and the trek of tens of thousands of miles, the expedition to Rome, the emperor regarded the navy as the main force in his mind.

When Guan Yu saw Zhou Yu say this, he had no choice but to say: "I will immediately fly to Lord Yang, tell me on my behalf, and ask Mrs. Zhuge to help me." ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "With Mrs. Zhuge taking action, the canal will be excavated, and the result will be twice the result with half the effort." ”

Huang Yueying has been with Zhuge Liang in the Western Regions for a long time, and to be honest, she has given Zhuge Liang a wonderful idea. At present, in the Western Regions, Zhuge Liang planted countless willow trees along various oases, rivers and lakes in accordance with Liu Ze's instructions, among which Huang Yueying contributed a lot.

On this day, Zhuge Liang received a letter from Liu Ye, saying that Guan Yu was digging a canal in Egypt, which was very laborious for carrying soil, and asked Mr. and Mrs. Zhuge to think of a way to make a few tools to speed up the process of the canal.

Zhuge Liang was able to achieve such a great feat, and he was inseparable from Huang Yueying's silent support, so throughout his life, he refused to take a concubine, which also meant respecting his wife. received Liu Ye's letter and hurriedly came to his wife to discuss.

Huang Yueying looked at her husband's handsome appearance, her heart was full of a sense of achievement, the Western Regions, in terms of geographical area, is equivalent to the size of several states in the interior, after years of governance by Zhuge Liang, the population is increasing day by day, merchants come and go like carp across the river, and the wealth of the Western Regions is no less than that of Beijing. Seeing her husband's sad appearance, Huang Yueying said with a smile: "Isn't it just to quickly carry the soil?" Don't worry, husband, the concubine has already had an idea here. ”

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and said, "Madame, what brilliant idea do you have?" ”

Huang Yueying said with a smile: "The Western Regions are vast, and it seems to me that the merchants have to work hard to make a long time ago to build vehicles that do not cost manpower and material resources for them to carry goods. ”

Zhuge Liang is in Luo Lao's book, which is a god-like existence, hearing the words of Mrs., he frowned, and said softly: "Madam, you don't need manpower and material resources, the vehicle is on its own, and it has never been heard of for eternity." ”

Huang Yueying said: "The wonder of the skill lies in my heart, and it cannot be declared to the outside. Husband, wait a little time, wait for me to make it, and you will know it when you see it. ”

Zhuge Liang's head melon seeds can be called the strongest brain in the Three Kingdoms era, hearing Huang Yueying's words, he also has a headache, Mrs. is indeed superior in terms of organ skills, but when it comes to using external force, the vehicle is on its own, even if you rack your brains, you can't think of a reason.

After waiting for five or six days, Huang Yueying smiled and came to invite Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang followed his wife to the backyard of Changshi Mansion and saw ten carts lined up in the yard, either as horse heads or as cow heads, for unknown reasons. Huang Yueying didn't explain, walked to the back of the car, stretched out her hand and tinkered a few times, Zhuge Liang was dumbfounded, only to see ten cars, one by one, walking around on their own.

Zhuge Liang was shocked and stammered and asked, "Madam, how did you do it?" ”

Huang Yueying smiled: "I didn't tell you, but I can't tell you." ”

Zhuge Liang admires his wife from the bottom of his heart, what level is this, absolute transcendence, even the Mo family master Lu Ban may not be able to do this. In addition to being excited, he picked up Huang Yueying and yelled.

Huang Yueying slapped Zhuge Liang's shoulders shyly, and said coquettishly: "Fool, everyone is here." ”

Zhuge Liang laughed and said: "Madame's talent, ancient and modern, please give Madame a name for the vehicle." ”

Huang Yueying said: "Niu Ma is our best partner, how about this vehicle named Mu Niu Liuma? ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Madam, the name is apt, it really lives up to the name of the first talented woman." ”

Huang Yueying said: "Each vehicle can carry a weight of 1,000 catties, and if it is used in a canal, it can shorten the construction period." ”

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and said: "It's not small, with the help of wooden oxen and horses, the construction period can be advanced by several years." ”

Huang Yueying said: "The husband can send a letter to Lord Yang, and the vehicle will be sent to Egypt in a few days." ”

Zhuge Liang suddenly palely and said: "You and I are husband and wife, I'm afraid we will be separated for a few years." ”

"Why?" As soon as Huang Yueying's words came out, she understood what her husband meant, and said immediately: "The emperor's brother is ambitious, and he has achieved unprecedented achievements. The Dahan Canal, stretching for 400 miles, requires countless vehicles, and the concubine is fortunate to help the emperor's brother, which is really an unprecedented good story, where does the husband worry? ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Those who are worried, you and I are separated from husband and wife, and there is nothing else. Now that the emperor has won the extreme west of the Western Regions, only Rome is a big country in the West. When Mrs. arrives in Egypt, the construction period of the canal will inevitably be shortened several times, and Zhou Gongjin's naval army will drive straight in, and Rome will not be able to go down in a few years. ”

Huang Yueying shook her head and said: "The Roman imperial system is different from my Han Dynasty, in addition to the emperor, there is a separate senate to restrain the imperial power. In this way, the emperor's decisions were made to avoid many mistakes, so it is said that Rome is really a fierce rival of the Han Dynasty. The land of Rome, surrounded by the Mediterranean, the land armor is not trivial, and the naval army should not be underestimated, and it is difficult to determine who wins and who loses. ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "With the prosperity of my Han soldiers, invincible, although Rome is big, it is difficult for me to be sharp." ”

Huang Yueying said with a smile: "Although the concubine is a woman and does not speak of soldiers, she also understands that the two countries compete for each other, and the most valuable thing lies in the weight of grain and grass. The weapons of the Han Dynasty are far superior to those of Rome, but the terrain of Rome is complex, and its national legions are extremely cohesive, and the heavy armor and light cavalry cooperate with each other, and they are invincible. Although Liu Ziyang is full of wisdom, Cao Mengde is a veteran on the battlefield, and against Rome, he is a little insufficient, how can the husband care?

Zhuge Liang was shocked and said, "Madam, what do you mean?" ”

Huang Yueying said: "Looking at the world, there are only a few people who can be with their husbands, and Guo Fengxiao has passed away; Zhou Gongjin was the governor of the navy. In my opinion, the Han Dynasty has been in confrontation with Rome for several years, and the emperor's brother will inevitably use you and Zhou Gongjin as land and water generals to fight in Rome. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "After Liu Ziyang became the royal family, he was the emperor's concubine, full of wisdom, and good at learning utensils; Cao Mengde is a masterpiece, who has fought for decades and rarely lost. What virtue do I have, dare to compare with the two. ”

Huang Yueying said: "The husband is in the bureau and doesn't know it. Let's wait and see, how do you look at the concubine's body? ”

What else can Zhuge Liang say, Huang Yueying said it all over the place, thinking back to his conquest of Wadao, stabilizing Yizhou, and prospering the Western Regions, step by step, the territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the responsibility is getting heavier and heavier, Liu Ze has always been separated from the government and the army, but in himself, he is in charge alone, and the military and political power is grasped, does the emperor really intend to send himself to Rome?
