More than a month later, because of Xun Yu's death, when the clouds of war were getting closer and closer, Yuan Ping, the generalissimo of Dayan's soldiers and horses, suddenly secretly left Liyang and arrived near Jiaozhou Bay.

Jiaozhou Bay is a semi-enclosed bay, similar to the shape of a horn, and is one of the best outlets to the sea in Qingzhou

At this time, on a hidden sea surface in Jiaozhou Bay, a large number of warships are floating on it, and on the beach next to it, many workers are working hard to build the foundation frame of the warship.

After a burst of horses' hooves, Yuan Ping, dressed in civilian clothes and wearing a Hou crown, came here with Hu Niu'er and more than 30 personal soldiers.

"Subordinate Chen Dao, meet the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and meet the general of the town" I saw Chen Zhi, who was wearing a gray boatman's uniform, hurriedly came to Yuan Ping with a few people in a hurry.

"Uncle Zhi, what's the matter with you" Yuan Ping asked with some surprise after getting off the horse.

"Generalissimo, due to the urgency of time, the last general just has nothing to do, so he will help the craftsmen build the warship together" Chen Zhi smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Haha, okay, it's not in vain that Benshuai asked you to supervise the work" Hearing this, Yuan Ping immediately said with satisfaction.

"Generalissimo Xie praised" Chen Zhi hugged his fist.

"Don't be a generalissimo, generalissimo, it sounds awkward, you still call me a general!" Yuan Ping said kindly

"Yes, General"

"How's the ship ready?" Yuan Ping was a little more serious.

"Rest assured, the general will be ready for a hundred warships in a month," Chen Zhi replied.

"It's not enough to just build it well, it must be tested repeatedly, after all, this time it's a sea route, and if you are a little negligent, it will be a joke about the lives of the soldiers, and it will also affect the entire battle situation" Yuan Ping said seriously.

When Chen Zhi heard this, he suddenly grinned, turned his head to look at a white-haired old man next to him, and said respectfully: "Old Liu, come and explain to the general in person!" ”

The old man nodded, and respectfully saluted Yuan Ping: "Liu Xing, second-level academician of the Tiangong Academy, meet the generalissimo."

"Elder Liu doesn't have to be polite," Yuan Ping immediately said.

"Generalissimo, the warships in Jiaozhou Bay this time, although they are not as complete as the warships of our Dayan Navy on the expedition to the Japanese Kingdom, and their attack power is powerful, but there is no problem in sailing the coastal road, Generalissimo, please see" Liu Xing pointed to the warships on the sea, and said loudly: "Although our current warship is not large, the shape of the ship is low at the head and high at the tail, and the hull is wide at the front and narrow at the back, which is completely modeled on the appearance of the sea falcon. It can also move forward smoothly, in addition, our warships are all wheeled warships, even if there is no wind, our warships rely on manpower, and can travel thousands of miles a day, with these two points, across the sea, to Xuzhou, there is no problem, and every three ships have Sinan, now my Dayan's shipbuilding technology, even if it is today's Jiangdong, is far inferior, has already surpassed them more than one level"

When Liu Xing said the back, his tone revealed a strong arrogance.

After Yuan Xi looked at it, sure enough, these sea ships were like sea falcons on the sea, and he said with some excitement in his heart: "Old Liu, can you get on the boat and take a look?" ”

"Of course, Generalissimo, please follow me" Liu Xing led Yuan Ping directly towards a sea falcon warship on the beach.

About half an hour later, Yuan Xi stood on top of a warship, looked at the vast and boundless ocean, and said excitedly: "I have such a warship in Dayan, what else in the world can stop it?"

"It's amazing, a few people can use such a big battle ship to act with a few feet" Hu Niu'er next to him was also amazed.

"This is what the king said in our Tiangong Academy that innovation changes everything, in fact, this is nothing, recently Dean Ma and several first-class academicians are working hard to develop more powerful, faster, more adaptable to the ocean warship, for my Dayan to lay the foundation for the future voyage" Liu Xing on the side smiled.

"Haha, okay, Tiangong Academy is not the most magical department of my Dayan, and it really has the ability to work hard," Yuan Ping praised loudly.

"Xie Dashuai"

"Great Marshal, although this sea falcon warship is extremely amazing, because the time is too tight, it is still a little worse in terms of attack power," Chen Zhi said honestly.

"It doesn't matter, these sea ships are mainly used to transport troops, and you think that Cao Cao has it, he estimates that he has searched the entire Central Plains, and he can't find many ships that can go to sea to fight, haha" Yuan Ping laughed loudly.

"Now that the sea ship is ready, as long as the grain and grass are in place, you can immediately move the army south," Hu Niu'er said excitedly.

"Not bad" Yuan Ping nodded, and instructed: "Chen Dao, you still have to hurry up, and you must pay attention to confidentiality"

"Rest assured, the minister's soldiers and horses have all been reduced to zero, and they are not divided in all directions, and no one will be allowed to explore this place," Chen Zhi immediately replied with assurance.

"Okay" Yuan Xi just answered, a soldier suddenly rushed up, holding a silk silk and said: "Marshal, the urgent message sent by the military division from Liyang"

Yuan Ping immediately took it, and after removing the red ribbon on it, he opened it and looked at it, and after reading it, his face showed a hint of surprise.

"Marshal, what's wrong?" asked Hu Niu'er curiously.

"You go down first" Yuan Ping said to Chen Dao on the side, Liu Xing.

"No!"

After the others left, Yuan Ping said solemnly: "In the past half a month, my Dayan has been assassinated by four generals, and all state capitals have also been damaged."

"What" Hu Niu'er's eyes froze, and he said angrily: "It's Cao Cao"

"Who else is there besides him, but this is not the most critical, these people are injured by my Dayan, and it is estimated that the military commander and Jinyiwei are also killing people, but yesterday the military commander secretly reported some things about Xianhu to the marshal's mansion, so Kong Ming passed it on, otherwise with his ability, so that the matter would not be so troublesome to inform me" Yuan Ping frowned.

"Xianhu" Hu Niu'er was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said anxiously: "Xianhu has an accident"

Tie Xianhu, but with him, Yuan Ping, and Jiao Touch, the four generals of the same rank, followed Yuan Xi from the very beginning, and their feelings were very deep.

"No, it's just that Xianhu secretly went out with his own soldiers a few days ago, and there happened to be a member of the military commander here, and he found that Xianhu saw a man with a broken leg, and he also took off his mask," Yuan Ping said solemnly.

"Maybe it's a friend," Hu Niuer speculated.

Yuan Ping shook his head and said: "Niu'er, with the relationship between you and me and Xianhu, he generally won't take off his mask, because although he has been rehabilitated, he still can't leak his identity, one is to affect the majesty of the first king, and the other is to affect the filial piety of the king, the king has already said that when he has a son, he will directly inherit the throne, he will suddenly be so reckless"

Hu Niu'er was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's right, Xianhu regards the king's words as the truth, he will never dare to disobey them, and Xianhu should have no friends except us, those people should be dead."

"Yes, that's why it's very strange, now is really the most critical time of the war, there must be no problems, especially Xianhu is still the deputy commander of the Second Army, and his status in the army is not much lower than that of a certain one, this matter cannot be taken lightly, we will immediately set off for Anqiu, and the commander will meet Xianhu in person" Yuan Ping said solemnly.

"No!" Hu Niu'er arched his hand.
