Chapter 50 - I Have the Bottom of My Heart
Sun Ce saw that as expected, Lu Su really took refuge in Yuan Yao, and he couldn't help but be very nervous, his eyes glanced at Liu Ye, who was not far from him, and he was ready to be captured, because he knew that Yuan Yao valued him very much and happened to be a hostage.
Yuan Yao, who had just announced Lu Su's appointment, glanced at Sun Ce and continued: "Of course, there is a second thing to discuss in the morning today...... Huaiyi Captain Sun Ce! ”
“!!!”
Sun Ce tightened when he heard this, his muscles instantly tensed, and he looked up at Yuan Yao and said, "I don't know what the general commands?" ”
Everyone didn't understand why Yuan Yao suddenly called Sun Ce's name, and they all looked at the two strangely.
Yuan Yao smiled and said to Sun Ce: "This second thing is mainly about your ......"
Sun Ce silently lowered the center of gravity of his body, ready to exert his strength at any time, and then clenched his fists and said to Yuan Yao: "Please speak up, general!" ”
Yuan Yao nodded and said: "The first fighting ship built by our army will be launched today, and you can go to the dock to receive the warship in the afternoon, and the navy will have to worry a lot in the future!" ”
“???”
"The last general commands." Sun Ce was relieved to see that Yuan Yao didn't make a difficulty, but he was suddenly stunned after replying, because he had just reacted to what Yuan Yao had just said, only to see him raise his head in surprise and ask: "What did the general say just now, the fighting ship was launched and built?" ”
Yuan Yao said with a smile: "Bo Fu didn't wake up, you heard it right, the fighting ship is built, you can go and get it, just go to the main dock of Shuizhai this afternoon to receive it!" ”
"So fast!" Sun Ce was a little suspicious, but it was not easy to show it in front of so many people, so he could only say again: "The last general will take the order!" ”
In order to keep it secret, the security work of the dockyard was all taken care of by Yuan Yao's Xuanjia personal guards, so no one except Yuan Yao knew the exact progress of the shipbuilding. One is that cloning humans work a little weird; The second is that you can't let people know that Yuan Yao can build a fleet larger than Liu Yao's navy from scratch in a few months, so the fewer people who know, the easier it is to keep it secret, otherwise it will be impossible for others to let you build a ship with peace of mind.
In this era, the time for craftsmen to build ships is uncertain, because there is no industrial standardization, and the efficiency depends entirely on the personal ability of craftsmen.
And Yuan Yao's clone is like a software-controlled biological intelligent human, completely relying on manpower to achieve the standardization process, if people know that the clone can build a fighting ship every 50 days, it will definitely make people's jaws drop, unless a layman does not understand it will be completely insensitive. And Sun Ce is a person who understands the navy, and naturally knows the difficulty of shipbuilding, so he doubts that there will be a fighting ship launched so soon. Besides, Yuan Yao is a complete layman in his heart, and it is impossible to do better than an insider.
Yuan Yao saw Sun Ce's suspicions, but he didn't say much, and couldn't help but look forward to Sun Ce's expression after he knew that the second fighting ship would be launched in four days, and five ships in a row in twenty days! In the following month and a half, 10 three-paddle warships were built one after another, followed by the completion of the three-story ship, and the rest was an endless ship......
Of course, it's unlikely that it's really endless, because there aren't that many ingredients left.
The wood used for shipbuilding is not cut and used, but can only be used for shipbuilding after a long period of air-drying, and the wood used by Yuan Yao now is in stock, and it is not only the inventory of Lujiang County, Liu Ye has used the material reserves of other counties in Yuan Shu's territory to supply Yuan Yao's consumption, if the scale of construction is expanded, even if Liu Ye deploys materials, there may be a shortage of materials and stoppage like Liu Xun before.
……
"I regret not listening to Ziheng's words and killing Lu Su, and now there is a disaster!" Sun Ce shouted.
Yuan Yao's morning meeting ended quickly, except for the introduction of Lu Su and the two things of letting Sun Ce receive the warship, the rest of the trivial matters were not worth mentioning, and to Sun Ce's surprise and great relief, Yuan Yao never had any intention of attacking him; He didn't ambush the axemen to clear the portal, as he had imagined; There was not even the slightest hint of dissatisfaction with him.
This result made Sun Ce very strange, could it be that Lu Su suddenly took refuge in Yuan Yao but didn't mention anything about him? This is something that Sun Ce couldn't believe no matter what, so as soon as he returned to his headquarters, he immediately summoned Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhu Zhi, or Lu Fan came to discuss, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin took refuge late, and they did not contact the core secrets for the time being.
Seeing Sun Ce's anger, Lu Fan comforted: "Don't worry, my subordinates feel that this matter is fine." ”
Sun Ce was stunned when he heard this, but immediately refuted: "How can there be no big problem? That Lu Su knows everything about our previous plan, and the most important thing is that he is no longer with us now, and now he has taken refuge in Yuan Yao, who knows if he is sincere, if he tells Yuan Yao everything, wouldn't it force us to rebel immediately? ”
Lu Fan shook his head and said, "My subordinates thought that even if Lu Su told Yuan Yao everything, he wouldn't be able to prove anything. At most, all kinds of behaviors against Jiangdong can only prove that the lord has the heart to plot Jiangdong, but there is no way to prove that the lord has the heart of betrayal, even if we take Jiangdong, we don't say that we will not respect General Zuo's orders, so what reason is there to condemn us! As for bribing Changshi Yang Hong, it was just to let him say that Yuan Shu would reuse the Jiangdong family in order to achieve the purpose of subduing the hearts of the people in Jiangdong, this was originally the correct employment strategy, otherwise Yuan Shu would not have used it, but it was us who benefited, even if people knew it, it was nothing, officialdom was just trading, all of this was not enough to convict the lord. ”
Sun Ce frowned and said, "Ziheng means that he will not admit his account?" Can this work, in case that Yuan Yao decides to deal with us, then what's the use of us admitting it or not? ”
Lu Fan suddenly sneered: "Haven't you forgotten that Yuan Shu still has a handle in our hands!" ”
The impetuous Sun Ce was suddenly stunned when he heard this, and he took a few breaths before saying, "You mean...... Heirloom jade seal? ”
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zhu Zhi were present when Sun Jian got the jade seal, so they knew about it, and Lu Fan was now Sun Ce's confidant, so he couldn't hide it from him alone.
Lu Fan nodded and said with emotion: "I only realized at this time why Gong Jin had to send the jade seal out of the first place, I am indeed inferior to such wisdom!" ”
Sun Ce finally settled down, sat down slowly, and then suddenly laughed out loud and said: "I was so frightened by a Lu Su that I lost my sense of proportion, and completely forgot the life-saving strategy left by Gongjin for us, it's really stupid, it's really stupid, it's really stupid, haha......"
Lu Fan said with shame on his face: "This matter is also to blame on the subordinates, as Lu Su said, the subordinates have always been unconvinced that the lord trusts Gong Jin so much, thinking that he is young, even if he has occasional gains, it is just a momentary cleverness, so he always wants to surpass Gong Jin in wisdom, so he instigated the lord to change Gong Jin's plan, and he was clever to persuade Lu Su to use it, so far he made such a big mistake, if it was according to the original plan, all this would not happen, it was the jealousy of his subordinates that led to this consequence, please condemn the lord." With that, Lu Fan suddenly bowed to the ground and kowtowed, crying out for guilt.
Sun Ce hurriedly ran over to help Lu Fan and said: "Ziheng, why is this, how can this be blamed on you alone, besides, aren't we fine, if you hadn't reminded me, I might have done something stupid, and now I am very glad that I didn't mess around during the morning discussion, otherwise I wouldn't have made a fool of myself." Therefore, in the future, Ziheng must make more suggestions and make up for the shortcomings, and Ziheng must not lose confidence. ”
"Shame on your subordinates!" After being helped up by Sun Ce, Lu Fan said resolutely: "Don't worry, the subordinates not only did not lose confidence, but felt that their minds had grown a lot, and they would no longer live up to the lord's weight in the future." ”
"That's good, that's good! Haha......" Sun Ce laughed when he heard this.
Huang Gai on the side suddenly said loudly: "I admire Ziheng, people say, 'Knowing mistakes can be changed, good is great', but there are a few who can do it, Ziheng can bluntly face his own mistakes, it can be seen that he is a person with an open heart, enough to entrust him with heavy responsibilities, and he deserves to be a son, haha......"
The martial artist is straightforward, and it is embarrassing to praise people, Lu Fan saluted with some embarrassment: "Thank you General Huang for your praise!" ”
Next to him, Han Dang nodded his head in approval, but Cheng Pu and Zhu Zhi couldn't help but laugh, and Sun Ce also laughed......
