Now, a month later, the galley battleship is nine times out of ten, but the sail battleship is only half complete, because the new concept must be accompanied by major improvements, so the shipwrights are also groping their way forward.

The bed crossbows and ballistas needed for the two ships have also been manufactured, and the clones have been saved to 35 people, so they can be gathered to do some big work, and Yuan Yao has taken a fancy to a warship in the system - a three-oar warship.

The triculars were used by ancient Mediterranean civilizations, especially the Phoenicians, ancient Greeks and Romans. There are three rows of oars on each side of the warship, and one oarsman controls one oars, and there are more than 170 oarsmen, who can sail continuously for 184 nautical miles at a speed of 7.5 knots.

Yuan Yao thought at first that these things that were hundreds of years earlier than the Three Kingdoms should be backward, but after a closer look, he found that this was not the case, this kind of ancient Greek warship that had been tested in the Mediterranean Sea might bring him some surprises, so he planned to use a clone to make a man out to take a look. But alas, someone didn't give him time......

"Qi Yu Gongzi, Sun Ce has a change." A subordinate came to Yuan Yao's side and whispered.

This month, Yuan Yao is not just engaged in experiments, but also approved a lot of preparations. For example, send people to pay attention to Sun Ce; In order to change the impression of incompetence in Yuan Shu's heart, he began to discuss the general trend of the world with Yuan Shu often; Collect intelligence information on the three countries' famous generals in the opposition, etc......

And the purpose of doing this is mainly for today-Sun Ce has started to act!

……

At the gate of Sun's Mansion, Sun Ce had just returned from going out, and a steward stepped forward to report: "Lord, Gongzi Zhou is here." ”

"Gongzi Zhou?" Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy, "But Gongjin? ”

"Exactly ......"

Sun Ce didn't wait for the steward's words to fall, then rushed into the courtyard and shouted, "Where is Gongjin!" Where is Gong Jin!! ”

Hearing Sun Ce's shouting, a handsome young man walked out of the front hall of the house, watching Sun Ce rushing excitedly, and his eyes were slightly red: "Brother, don't panic, the foolish brother is here!" ”

This person is Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, who are friends with Sun Ce, and worshiped Sun Ce's mother, Mrs. Wu, as his mother-in-law, so the two have always been brothers.

Sun Ce had already seen Zhou Yu, and without saying a word, he was a bear hug, and he was just slapping the other party in excitement, and he couldn't say anything except laughter in his mouth; Zhou Yu's eyes were also red and tears flowed, and the two of them cried and laughed for a long time before they eased up......

"I haven't seen you for two years, I really want to be a brother!" Sun Ce wiped away his tears and said.

Zhou Yu nodded again and again: "Foolish brother, seeing that my brother is as brave as ever, brother, rest assured." ”

Sun Ce looked Zhou Yu up and down and said, "Gong Jin has lost a lot, this trip is hard!" ”

Zhou Yu interrupted: "Why should you and my brother be polite, I was about to tell you about this trip to Jiangdong." ”

Sun Ce's expression was straight when he heard this, and then he turned his head to the next person: "Close the door and refuse to see guests, and no one is allowed to approach outside the main hall." ”

"No." The butler left.

After the next person received the order to leave, Sun Ce pulled Zhou Yu and said, "Brother Xian, let's go inside and talk in detail." With that, the two walked into the lobby together, and sat opposite each other regardless of priority.

After sitting down, Zhou Yu spoke: "As expected, this trip to Jiangdong is not surprising, the major families do not want to see Yuan Shu enter Jiangdong, for fear that the Yuan family will cross the river and plunder their survival. Although Liu Miao is a relative of the Han family, he is a foreigner after all, and it is in the interests of the Jiangdong family that Jiangdong people lead Jiangdong. The foolish brother finally survived his life after two years of running, and persuaded all families to support his brother to enter Jiangdong. ”

"Seriously!" Sun Ce was immediately excited when he heard what Zhou Yu said, but when he saw that Zhou Yu's expression remained unchanged and knew that there was something to follow, he asked in his heart, "What do they want?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled and replied, "Military power." ”

“……”

"Hey, it's really as the virtuous brother expected!" Sun Ce said with a gloomy expression.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu said confidently: "Brother, why lament, this is what we expected, we have nothing but can exchange for the land of the four counties of Jiangdong, and all we pay is to correct the names of the private soldiers." These Jiangdong clans are short-sighted, and they are only a place in Jiangdong in their eyes, and the elder brother should look at the world and take advantage of Jiangdong's momentum to annex the Central Plains. ”

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce was a little embarrassed and said: "It's pedantic for my brother, don't laugh at my virtuous brother." I wonder how many soldiers and horses they have, and when and where they will join us? ”

Zhou Yu replied: "There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it is enough to attack Jiangdong." At this time, they were still under the rule of others, and if they raised an army, they would become rebels, so they could only wait for their brother to go to rendezvous, and as long as the brother came with the flag, they would naturally lead their troops to vote. ”

"Good! Good! When Sun Ce heard this, he couldn't help but be ambitious, and applauded again and again, "You and my brother have been planning for many years, and it is finally time for it to come to fruition!" ”

Sun Ce looked very excited, as if he saw himself crossing the Yangtze River and taking in the scene of Jiangdong. But after being happy for a while, he suddenly thought of something, and whispered close to Zhou Yu and said, "Then there is one next step, is it ...... Do you want to give the heirloom jade seal to Yuan Shu? ”

Looking at Sun Ce's cautious and inquiring look, Zhou Yu smiled calmly and nodded.

Seeing this, Sun Ce showed an unwilling look and said, "Do you really want to give?" ”

"Gotta give!" Zhou Yu said firmly.

"Is there no other way? That's what my father bought with his life......" Sun Ce looked up with a reminiscing expression.

Seeing the tears in Sun Ce's eyes, Zhou Yu knew that he remembered his deceased father, so he comforted him: "Brother, do you know why you have to give that jade seal to Yuan Shu, is it just to exchange some soldiers and horses?" ”

Sun Ce looked stunned, he hadn't thought that he could really get to this point before, so he didn't think about cause and effect, but now when he heard Zhou Yu's question, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Is there any other purpose?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled confidently and said: "We want to raise troops to attack Jiangdong, the number of troops is second, the most important thing is the name, what identity to take Jiangdong, if you don't have an identity, then you will become a thief, and the Jiangdong family will not take refuge, so Yuan Shu, the banner of General Zuo, we must borrow it, otherwise it may be positioned as a rebel at any time." But in the name of Yuan Shu, there is a price, if we just beat a county on the front foot, and he sends a county guard on the back foot, then aren't we marrying someone else? Therefore, we must make him dare not interfere in Jiangdong. ”

Sun Ce listened and wondered, "What does this have to do with the jade seal?" ”

"Of course it is!" Zhou Yu patiently explained, "If the jade seal is given to Yuan Shu, before he is ready to become an enemy of the world, he will definitely be afraid that we will announce this matter to the public, so he will not dare to coerce us too much, then we will have the opportunity to occupy Jiangdong." Even if he wants to break the net and turn against us, then we can justifiably break away from Yuan Shu and call on the world to crusade against the traitors who secretly possess the jade seal. ”

"This ......," Sun Ce said with embarrassment, "Yuan Shu treats my Sun family well, so it will be ...... for him."

Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "What the foolish brother said is the worst outcome, and things may not be like this, but that jade seal is the only handle we can use to restrain Yuan Shu, so if we want to achieve great things, we must give up the jade seal." ”

Seeing Zhou Yu's firm tone, Sun Ce finally made up his mind and said, "Since this is the case, everything is up to Brother Xian!" However, how do we give this jade seal to Yuan Shu? ”

Zhou Yu replied: "My brother is worried that the Jiangdong family will be persecuted by Liu Xuan, and he is willing to take the jade seal as a hostage in exchange for his father-in-law's old ministry to cross the river to save his mother, so that he can take advantage of the banner of Yuan Shu to raise troops." ”

Sun Ce was shocked and said, "Then Liu Xuan really dares to persecute my family?" ”

Zhou Yu hurriedly said: "Brother, don't worry, I know that I will definitely fight against Liu Miao this time, so I have moved my brother's family back to Fuchun's hometown from Liu Xuan's rule, and Liu Xuan's hand can't reach out there." ”

Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then suddenly got up and saluted Zhou Yu and said, "Brother Xian is too far-sighted to think about me, and it will be more difficult for Brother Xian to plan and make decisions in the future!" ”

Zhou Yu hurriedly got up and saluted back: "Brother has tormented me, brother, it is incumbent on me!" ”
