Chapter 317: Return Trip and Alliance
On the first day of May, the sun was shining.
Outside Chaisang City, at Pengze Wharf, Zhuge Liang was saying goodbye to his brother Zhuge Jin, as well as Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and others. This time to mourn Jiangdong, everything is over, and I have been reunited with my brother for ten days, and now that midsummer has arrived, Zhuge Liang should also return to Hanzhong.
On the dock, twelve warships were docked in a row.
This is not a warship of the Jiangdong Naval Division, but a warship belonging to the Hanzhong Naval Division.
When Zhuge Liang and his envoys to Jiangdong, they only brought three warships to escort them, but Zhuge Liang bought nine more ships in Jiangdong. Coupled with the original three ships in Gan Ning's hands, it can just be formed into a fleet of sailors.
Originally, Zhuge Liang wanted to buy a building ship, and he was most puzzled to buy a few five-masted warships. However, who would have thought that the Lusu thief spirit would restrict the outflow of Lou ships and five-masted warships from Jiangdong, so the nine warships purchased this time were all three-masted.
Three-masted warships, as well as five-masted warships, were later said to have been invented by the Dutch.
This is actually incorrect.
As we all know, when ancient ships sailed, in addition to relying on oars to paddle, the most important power was the wind. When a ship sails a long way, it must be powered by the wind, and it is only on the ship that there are masts and sails. Large ships, with only one mast and one sail, inevitably lack power, and are born with three-masted ships or even five-masted ships.
The water system in the south of the Yangtze River is developed, and the ships are naturally very advanced, such as the building ship, the five-masted warship, and the three-masted warship.
Relatively speaking, Lou Chuan is the overlord of the water in this era.
A few days ago, when Zhuge Liang, Lu Su and others visited Peng Zehu, they had seen the building boat in the Jiangdong Naval Division. According to Zhuge Liang's estimate, the building ship was more than 60 zhang long, about 40 zhang wide, and about 10 zhang high, and could accommodate 3,000 soldiers in battle. In this era, the building ship is the real weapon of water warfare, the giant of the warship.
It's a pity that such a sharp weapon is now only available in Jiangdong, and there is no one in Jingxiang Water Division.
If the Jingxiang Naval Division wanted to contend with the building ships in the Jiangdong Naval Division, it could only win with the number of three-masted or five-masted warships, and even most of them only defended and did not attack, relying on the geographical advantages to repel the attack of the Jiangdong Naval Division.
……
"Brother Kong Ming, let's say goodbye, I don't know when you and I will see you again. If it is raging today, the overlord is about to be born, and I hope that after Brother Kong Ming returns to Hanzhong, he will say good words in front of Uncle Liu, and on the other hand, our Sun and Liu families will always form an alliance. ”
During the farewell, Lu Su accompanied Zhuge Liang to the side of the plank road at the dock, and said with his hand.
Zhuge Liang sent Jiangdong this time, just to mourn, and then there was to "purchase" some materials, and did not represent Uncle Liu Huang to form an alliance with Jiangdong.
It's not that Zhuge Liang doesn't want to form an alliance with Jiangdong.
According to the long-distance and close attacks, as well as the current situation, Hanzhong also needs an ally in order to contain Cao Cao in the future. However, this was only the first contact between Hanzhong and Jiangdong, and it was impossible to talk about an alliance at the first meeting.
However, those who are as discerning as Lu Su naturally know that Jiangdong needs allies.
In the next three to five years, Jiangdong needs to stabilize internally, and it will not be able to expand and develop at all. And Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the north were already one step ahead, and after their decisive battle, the strongest princes in the world were born. At that time, with the power of Jiangdong, even if the Yangtze River moat is added, it will be difficult to block the northern troops.
All said that Koto also needs allies.
In Lu Su's view, Jingxiang and Sichuan Shu are the allies of Jiangdong. However, Liu Jingsheng was dying of old age, Liu Jiyu was weak and incompetent, and sooner or later he would be annexed by Liu Xuande, so it was better to form an alliance with Uncle Liu Huang in Hanzhong than to form an alliance with Jingzhou or Sichuan Shu.

"Brother Zijing, don't worry, this is easy to say!" Zhuge Liang replied.
