PS: Ask for tickets! Commuter pass, recommended ticket!

The moonlight is sprinkled on the river, and the flat boat crosses, overlooking the Yangtze River, like sesame seeds dotted with jade cakes.

Man dies for money, and birds die for food.

The wages offered by the Cao thieves in Jiangbei were so attractive that many craftsmen risked their lives to forcibly cross the river at night, and in just one night, there were dozens of boats on the river.

"How's it going?"

A young man in a coarse linen coat asked softly in the cabin.

A lean man of seventeen or eighteen years old poked his head out of the cabin, looked around in the moonlight, and said with a sigh of relief: "Uncle Wang, it's okay, you can rest assured!" ”

The young strong man also walked to the door of the cabin and patted him on the shoulder: "Nephew! Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case! ”

Along the way, the young man had reminded the boy at least seventeen or eighteen times, and the boy was young and vigorous, and he began to feel a little irritable, feeling like a fly buzzing in his ears, which was annoying.

The young man's shoulders shook, he spread the young man's hand away, and said impatiently: "Uncle Wang! Even if someone comes, you can't just jump off the boat and run! Why are you so careful, what are you doing on the other side? Wealth and danger are sought, do you understand! ”

At this moment, a fleet of ships suddenly appeared on the river, and it was estimated that there were more than 20 warships, and even a small boat chasing a stowaway was slightly rich.

"All ships can turn around and return if they obey the order, otherwise they will be killed!"

A loud voice sounded, spreading across the river.

Immediately following these twenty or so warships, they stopped at these ships in one go.

"I count three times, and if I don't turn around, there will be no forgiveness!"

More than 20 warships instantly set up hundreds of hard bows, all pointing at the stowaway boats besieging the river.

The whole river was silent in an instant!

"One!"

All the boats on the river are starting to show signs of turning around.

"Two!"

The smuggling boats have begun to make a clear U-turn, and some of them have even been killed for miles.

Before the word "three" could be spoken, suddenly a cannon rang out throughout the river, followed by thousands of torches lit up on the river, and one hundred and ten medium-sized warships were killed in an instant, and the arrows rained down like a meteor in the sky.

"Don't be afraid, ships. I am Zhang Yun, the governor of Cao Gong! On the order of Cao Gong, escort you and others, and cross the river quickly! ”

Zhang Yun stood on the bow of the boat and shouted loudly.

Twenty warships are no match for a hundred? This is not a battle, this is a one-sided slaughter!

More than 20 ships did not hesitate at all, directly turned the spearhead, fired wildly at the medium-sized warship, and gradually retreated towards their own camp little by little.

Zhang Yun stood on the bow of the boat. Laughing wildly with his hands on his hips, the laughter echoing above the surface of the river, making people shudder.

All the stowaway boats took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hurriedly turn around again, and under the cover of Zhang Yun's battleship, they frantically sailed in the direction of Cao Ying, Jiangbei.

In another dark corner, a small boat was quietly moored, and the bow of the boat stood upright, holding a feather fan and looking out at the war-torn river, the corners of his mouth twitching to reveal a faint smile.

"How? Is it in the past? A voice came from the cabin, and it was Tian Feng.

Kong Ming snorted. Turning back to the cabin, he Tian Feng sat down face to face, picked up a cup of tea, and said lightly: "The past is in the past, and the rest of the land can only rely on themselves." ”

Tian Feng also held a hot tea, blew it, took a sip, and said: "You should rest assured that the rest of you should rest assured, there are all Yuanzhi people over there, and nothing big will happen!" ”

Kong Ming smiled: "This battle." The key is on Yuanzhi's side, I hope everything goes well. ”

Tian Feng took a deep breath: "It will definitely go well, rest assured." ”

********

Jiangbei, Cao Jun's camp.

Xun Yu arched his hand: "Lord!" The forest has already begun to build warships in full swing. There are more than 1,800 shipbuilders and more than 13,000 laborers, and all kinds of auxiliary materials are being transported from all directions, and if everything goes well, the construction should be completed within two months. ”

Cao Cao looked out over the railing, and the shipyard was set up in a shallow bay very close to the barracks. More than 100 miles on the north side of the shallow bay, there is a dense forest, and the straight and tall trees have become a natural material factory.

The dense shipbuilders were working in full swing, such a huge scene, not much inferior to watching the drill of the Ten Thousand Army, Cao Cao's heart began to flutter, he could already imagine the victory of Liu Bei waiting on the bow of the ship.

"Not bad!" Cao Cao nodded and said: "Order Yu Ban and Mao Dai to increase the supervision of the work, and it is important to ensure that all materials do not delay the effort, and the construction period must not be delayed." ”

Xun Yu's face sank, pulled the elder, and said, "Lord! Now all kinds of materials are not a problem, only one problem will affect the shipbuilding period. ”

Cao Cao was stunned, glanced back at Xun Yu, and asked, "No matter what, must you solve it for me?" ”

Xun Yu's face was a little embarrassed, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord! There is nothing that can be done about this matter. ”

Cao Cao was taken aback, stared at Xun Yu in a daze, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said with a smile: "There are still things that you can't do if you can't do it?" It's weird, and let me hear it. ”

Xun Yu paused, sorted out his thoughts a little, and said, "Lord! At the beginning, it was agreed with Lin Mu and others that after the completion of the skeleton of the warship, three-tenths of the project cost would need to be paid, and the total project cost of 16 million would need 4.8 million yuan. Ordinary people admit that they can't live if they can't get money, which will definitely affect the construction period. ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and asked, "How much military pay is there in the army?" ”

Xun Yu blurted out directly: "300,000 yuan." ”

"300,000 dollars!?" Cao Cao seemed a little incredulous, and asked rhetorically, "How can it be so little?" ”

Xun Yu explained: "The tools needed for logging, the tools needed for shipbuilding, and the clothing, food, housing and transportation of craftsmen need to spend money, which seems to be relatively small, but it adds up to a lot of expenses. ”

"How long can all the 300,000 yuan be spent on ensuring the food, clothing, housing and transportation of workers?"

Xun Yu blurted out: "Less than seven days." ”

Cao Cao was stunned and sighed: "Borrow some from Cai Mao in Jingzhou, he has been operating in Jingzhou for many years, and he should be able to find a lot of money with his connections." Cai Mao, I will send a message to him, all you need to do is to appease Lin Mu and the others, no matter what! You must drag me off for half a month! ”

Xun Yu was still a little embarrassed, so he had to give up his hand and say: "Try your best!" ”

Cao Cao stared at Xun Yu with burning eyes, patted Xun Yu on the shoulder, and said sonorously: "It's not as much as possible, it's necessary!" ”

Xun Yu had no choice but to say, "Lord Yu, you must try your best!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao smiled at Xun Yu in disappointment and sighed: "Leave this matter to Ziyi." (To be continued.) )
