Hongze Lake.

A boat was slowly moving along the shore. The boat is not the kind of small fishing boat, it is exactly the same as the kind of boat used by Zhuge Liang's grass boat to borrow arrows. Of course, there are no straw men on this ship today.

In the cabin, there were wine and food on the small table, and a freshly steamed fish, and around, Buqi, Zhang Cheng, and Yan Jian sat together.

The three of them are friends who have been friends for decades, among which Zhang Cheng and Yan Jian are both from Pengcheng, Xuzhou, and Buqi is from Huaiyin, Xuzhou, so the three of them can be regarded as fellow villagers, and it is precisely because of this that the three of them walk together and often advance and retreat together. Just like when the Battle of Chibi was in the battle of Chibi, Zhang Cheng's father surrendered, and at that time, Buqi and Yan Jian also followed Zhang Zhao to surrender, and both of them debated with Zhuge Liang.

Zhang Cheng took a sip of the wine in the glass, and then said, "Sima Yi has already presented His Majesty and established a large port in Donglai. I heard that His Majesty is thinking about it. ”

Bu Qi nodded: "This Sima Yi is really anxious, it's only been a long time, and he wants to stretch out his hand to the water army." ”

"Sima Yi is not simple. If you can control Donglai Dagang in your hands, it is equivalent to having 100,000 soldiers under your command. However, speaking of which, Sima Yi married Qingxu Erzhou, it was the time to be favored, maybe His Majesty would really give him Sima Yi Donglai Dagang. Yan Jian said.

Bu Qi nodded: "The key to this matter is to see what Brother Ziyu thinks, if Brother Ziyu also supports Sima Yi, there is an eighty percent chance that this Donglai Dagang will be handed over to Sima Yi." I just don't know what Brother Ziyu thinks on the other side? Zhang Cheng, there should be news from your side! ”

"I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday to find out, but the Prime Minister is still the same, asking questions and answers, and nothing came out." Zhang Cheng replied.

"Well, Sima Yi is in charge of Donglai Dagang, which is still good for us, so let's do it, when we come to the court, if Your Majesty asks, let's help Sima Yi!" Bu Qi spoke.

……

As soon as Huang Hao walked out of the palace gate, Sima Zhao hurriedly greeted him.

"Father-in-law Huang, what does Your Majesty think of my father's construction of Donglai Port?" Sima Zhao asked.

"Your Majesty is very impressed, but you will have to wait until tomorrow to listen to the opinions of others." Huang Hao opened his mouth and said.

Sima Zhao took out a delicately carved jade lion from his arms and stuffed it into Huang Hao's hand: "In this matter, please do your best in Gonggong Huang, and thank you again after the matter is completed." ”

"Hehehe." Huang Hao laughed happily, put away the jade lion, and said at the same time: "Our family is just a eunuch, and we are not allowed to interfere in the government, so there are some things." What our family can't do is too obvious, and we have to ask Lord Sima for forgiveness. ”

"How dare you, how dare you ......"

……

In the court, Sun Deng's eyes swept to the courtiers below, and then asked: "As a minister, let's talk about the construction of a big port in Donglai!" ”

You look at me, and I look at you, and they are speechless.

"Why, everyone is not talking?" Sun Deng glanced at everyone, and his gaze stayed on Bu Qi.

"Buqi, let's talk about it first!"

Bu Qiu immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this move is feasible. By building a large port in Donglai, our Dongwu naval army can reach Jizhou and Liaodong, and it can be attacked and defended. ”

Gu Yong followed and walked out and said, "Your Majesty, this matter of the naval army, General 6 Xun is the most familiar with it. The minister thought that the construction of a new port in Donglai was not a moment, and it was better to wait until 6 Xun came back to discuss. ”

"It makes sense, what else do you Aiqing think?" Sun Deng then asked.

Coming out as Gu Yong to say this sentence almost played a decisive role, and almost no ministers dared to come out to oppose it.

Gu Yong glanced at everyone with great satisfaction, the officials of the Jiangdong family have always regarded Gu Yong as the second person, so naturally there will be no objection, and those officials from Jiangbei who are not as good as Gu Yong in terms of status and discourse, everyone is very interested in not standing up.

"Ahem, cough ......" A light cough came, and then I saw Zhuge Jin stand up.

When Zhuge Jin stood up, Gu Yong's face suddenly became ugly. If this power to speak can suppress Gu Yong, only Zhuge Jin will be the one who can suppress him.

Zhuge Jin is very slippery, so Gu Yong thought that Zhuge Jin would not stand up against it, but he didn't expect Zhuge Jin to stand up.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the construction of Donglai Port is imminent!" Zhuge Jin said loudly.

"Imminent? Let's hear it. ”

"Your Majesty, with the establishment of a port in Donglai, my Jiangdong Navy Division can attack Jizhou by sea at any time, without having to go through the checkpoints on the 6 places. After the army attacks Leling by water, it can go down to the south and break through the river after attacking the Bohai Sea. If you take 6 roads, it may be very difficult to attack the two places between the rivers and Nanpi from Qingzhou, which is the first benefit. ”

"Second, Liu Chan has also coveted Jizhou for a long time, and he must soon attack Jizhou. Liu Chan attacked Jizhou. There is only one way to take 6 roads, but Liu Chan occupies the two places of Bingzhou and Yanzhou, and can attack Jizhou with two people, and the troops can go straight to Handan and break Wei County to attack Yecheng; It is difficult to get up from Yanzhou, and it is a song to cross Muye, and then it should also attack Yecheng directly. In terms of distance, the Han army is closer than us. His Majesty wants to seize Jizhou, and attacking from the 6th route is not faster than the Han army in any case, so you must take the sea route to surprise the army. ”

"Third, if Jizhou is captured by that Liu Chan, the world will become a two-point trend. At that time, the Donglai Navy could contain and harass Liu Chan, which was the third benefit. ”

"Well said!" Sun Deng nodded with satisfaction.

Sun Deng has been an emperor for several years, so how can he not understand the competition of court forces contained in this. At this time, Sun Deng deliberately wanted to support Sima Yi, and if he wanted Sima Yi to compete with the huge Shi clan power in Jiangdong, he definitely needed to have the corresponding power in his hands, and this Donglai Dagang was just an opportunity.

Sun Deng took a deep breath: "The so-called soldier god, this construction of Donglai Port is an urgent matter. This matter is decided like this, this is the matter of building a port. Leave it to Zang Ai and Zhuge Dan! ”

"Your Majesty, no!" Gu Yong stood up again: "Your Majesty, Zang Ai and Zhuge Dan are not familiar with water warfare, how can they be allowed to take on this important task, the minister thinks that it is better to select the generals of the naval army in Jiangdong to preside over this matter." ”

"Aiqing's words are wrong," Sun Deng waved his hand, and then said: "Zang Ai is the history of Qingzhou, which built a large port in Donglai, which should be under the jurisdiction ......of Zang Ai, and now that Qingzhou has just fallen, the people have not yet returned to their hearts, and Zang Ai was sent to carry out this matter." First, it can show my trust in these people who have just surrendered, and let them return to their hearts; Second, the construction of Donglai Port is a major event, and my Jiangdong generals, even if they go to Donglai, may not be able to transfer local officials and people, if the progress is delayed, it will not be good. As for what Aiqing said, Zang Ai doesn't know how to fight water wars, this is easy to do, he can't learn water wars, and this Donglai Port will be built according to the appearance of Huiji Port, and let Zang Ai draw a scoop according to the gourd, it's not much worse. ”

"Yes!" Gu Yong nodded, at this time, no matter how stupid Gu Yong was, he could see that Sun Deng was determined to support Sima Yi.

"Okay, you Sima Yi, you've only been here for a long time, and you want to be anti-guest-oriented! It seems that our Jiangdong people were still too merciful before, and when 6 Xun comes back, I must give you some powerful taste! Gu Yong thought viciously.

……

Yecheng.

Bad news came one after another, and there was a decadent atmosphere in the entire Yecheng from top to bottom. The officials all knew that Wei was about to lose, and now they were just surviving, so they didn't have that kind of sharpness on weekdays; And the common people seem to know that the young emperor in the palace will probably not be able to sit for a few days, and they are all depressed, and the expressions on many people's faces are like walking corpses.

Every dynasty has no shortage of loyal subjects who may not do much in peacetime, but when the dynasty is about to fall, they will always stand up.

And now, those courtiers and ordinary people who were loyal to the Wei State gathered in front of the palace, and every time a person came out of the palace, even if it was just a eunuch, everyone would rush up to inquire about the latest news. But nothing of value ever came out.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way......" shouted out, followed by the sound of horses' hooves.

"Look. It's Lord Cao Shuang here! ”

Everyone flashed to both sides, and Cao Shuang rode a horse and came to the gate of the palace, and then Cao Shuang got off the horse and walked into the palace.

Everyone watched Cao Shuang's back gradually disappear, gathered together again, and whispered.

Time passed minute by minute, the sun gradually rose to the highest point, and then slowly moved westward, and then it was time for the palm lamp, and Cao Shuang still did not come out.

The guards in front of the palace did not drive these people away, and as the time went on, many of them gradually dispersed, but there were still a small number of people gathered in front of the palace.

A lantern swayed forward, and under the shadow of the lamp, a eunuch appeared in front of everyone.

The eunuch came to the front and shouted in a shrill voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is not early, everyone has dispersed, go home and sleep!" ”

"This father-in-law, the Han army and the Eastern Wu army have already overwhelmed the border, how can my Great Wei people sleep!" An old man spoke.

"Yes, we are loyal to the Great Wei, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, we will immediately put on armor and serve Your Majesty, even if we die on the battlefield, we will not hesitate!" Another strong man spoke.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty has appointed Cao Shuang to be the commander and command the army of my Great Wei State! The edict will be issued tomorrow morning...... Generalissimo Cao Shuang will soon lead his troops against the enemy. The official eunuch said with a smile.
