Chapter 188: Ma Chao leads Cao Cao
"Really?"
Queen Guo nodded: "It must be so." If not, it is not a rule. In the future, the management of the husband's harem will also be even more difficult! β
Lu Bu sighed, and then ordered Sun Shangxiang to be sent into the cold palace.
Lu Bu naturally did not build a special cold palace here, so he just transferred Sun Shangxiang to a remote place, and then put him under house arrest without leaving the hospital.
Since it is a cold palace, of course, it is not allowed to be favored and summoned by Lu Bu.
All kinds of fine clothes and jade food must also be deprived.
Moreover, no one is allowed to visit.
Otherwise, what is it called a cold palace?
Sun Shangxiang didn't cry, just sighed fate.
I wanted to live ahead of my time, but unfortunately there was too much helplessness.
Lu Bu didn't publicize it here, but just operated secretly, not giving Sun Shangxiang another collaboration to the enemy in Eastern Wu.
It is equivalent to, just let Sun Shangxiang calm down.
If it is publicized, Sun Shangxiang's reputation will really be ruined.
And Sun Quan got a lot of airship-related technology, how is it not a big joy.
Rubber, well, I also have it in Soochow, and it's everywhere along the coast. It seems that now, it is possible to cut out the liquid rubber.
Moreover, Sun Shangxiang also asked about the general refining technology, so Sun Quan here is completely able to refine rubber.
Hydrogen, water-coal steam method.
Although it is only a brief description, as long as it is studied in this direction, Sun Quan believes that Soochow will definitely be able to refine hydrogen.
As for electric welding, the technical difficulty is too high.
But don't be afraid, even if you don't have electric welding technology, there are still many old ways to build an airship that can take off.
After watching the entire airship process, Sun Quan was like having obtained a peerless martial arts secret.
As long as the cultivation is completed, it is guaranteed that the bull will be born.
While Sun Quan was vigorously researching airships, Lu Bu had already designated several key coastal cities.
From north to south, one is Linyu County (Qinhuangdao) in Liaoxi County. It is suitable for the establishment of a large seaport, which can be used as a major shipping line in the future. Whether it is coal or grassland materials, they can be transported from here to the south.
Moreover, Shanhaiguan is also here, such an important pass, how can it not focus on construction.
Parallel to the east, is Dongyu County (Dalian) of Liaodong County. This is an important material transportation point for the future conquest of Goguryeo, and it cannot be built.
Then there is the entrance of the Haihe River, Tanyuyi, an important port in Beijing and Tianjin in the future, how can it not be built.
Moreover, the canal from the Yellow River to the Haihe River is almost dug through, and it is a key town for both water and sea transportation.
Then go down to Dongmu (Weihai), Buqi (Qingdao), Quxian (Lianyungang), and Yancheng to focus on construction.
Finally, Zhu Yazhou, as the foot of the rooster, is to develop the whole state.
Although this land is very backward now, as long as Lu Bu has the resources to support it, I believe it will be able to develop soon.
Because in the future, LΓΌ Bu will use this as a springboard to conquer Cochin (Vietnam) first.
Although Jiaozhi is not the territory of the rooster in later generations, since this era is the territory of the Han Dynasty, of course, Lu Bu should also pay attention to it.
Marching into the south of Yizhou from here will not lead to a major war between China and Wu.
I believe that Sun Quan will not dare to argue with Lu Bu again before he has enough power to shout.
With these base points, whether it is to attack the southern part of Yizhou or the coastal cities of Wu in the future, it can be regarded as having a backup guarantee.
Steady and steady step by step is the future strategic direction of Lu Bu.
If you can't hold it down, then there's no point.
Just when Lu Bu finished drawing a few circles and told the ministers to focus on the construction first. In Zitong County, Yizhou, Cao Cao and Ma Chao chased and fled.
Zhuge Liang's task to Ma Chao was to lead Cao Cao to the Sword Pavilion.
Because he was in the Sword Pavilion, he arranged a super gossip array.
As long as Cao Cao's army enters it, it is guaranteed that it will not be able to come out 100%.
In this way, after ten days and half a month, Cao Cao's 100,000 troops will starve to death.
Even if Cao Cao can kill horses to satisfy hunger, he will definitely not live for a month.
Only the trapped array can kill 100,000 iron horsemen, such a feat, who in the world can compare.
Cao Cao went down from the water, but he quickly caught up with Ma Chao.
Because the most dangerous Ma Ming Pavilion is on the Han water line next to it.
In order to allow Cao Cao to enter the ambush smoothly, Zhuge Liang of course wanted to give Cao Cao the best route to take.
And all the way to the pursuit, Cao Cao's ministers all noticed that something was wrong, and had to make suggestions again.
Guo Jia took the lead and said: "Gong Cao, Ma Chao seems to be interested in bringing our army here. If you keep going, I'm afraid you will be ambushed! β
"Not bad!" Xun You also said: "Ma Chao has always kept a certain distance from our army, if our army can't catch up, he will take the initiative to harass and provoke." Isn't this a ploy to lure the enemy! β
"Cao Gong thought twice, our army can't march in a hurry anymore. Or send the airship to investigate the road ahead before making a decision. Jia Xu, who didn't ask or take the initiative to speak, also hurriedly admonished. Because he also senses the crisis, which is his innate sixth sense.
Not to mention the ministers, even Cao Cao also felt that something was wrong.
In this way, he had to suppress the anger in his heart, ordered to set up camp, and then let the airship go forward to reconnoitre.
Yes, an army of 100,000 marches forward without the help of airships.
Coordinated operations by land and air have already been a necessity for Lu Bu's new-style warfare.
It is precisely the presence of powerful airships as reconnaissance that makes the current war more clear and easy.
Soon, various carefully scouted airships were heard.
Ma Chao's 5,000 cavalry was not far ahead, and no ambush was found within a hundred miles.
A message from an airship may not be fully believed by the public, because there is always something missing from reconnaissance. But the two airships are the same reconnaissance results, so Cao Cao and the others can't help but believe it.
Everyone frowned, it was strange, there was no ambush, Ma Chao only came to provoke with only 5,000 cavalry, is this looking for death.
Could it be that Ma Chao just wanted to exhaust his 100,000 iron cavalry, and then when his army arrived in Brazil, he would be killed by the recuperated Shu army.
This strategy is too simple.
Lao Tzu is tired, and he won't come back after a day or two of rest.
I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.
There is no way, the Bagua Array laid by Zhuge Liang is transformed with natural terrain. Even if there is an airship reconnaissance, what can be found.
They don't understand the Bagua Array, at most they think that this terrain is a little special.
But having seen countless strange mountain scenes, these scouts have long been immune.
The scout's focus is entirely to see if there are Bashu ambush soldiers.
As a result, all the places within a radius of 100 miles were found to be unfounded.
These realms are almost uninhabited, let alone ambushes, and there are not even many living people.
There was no ambush, so Cao Cao wanted to continue to chase and kill Ma Chao.
However, Jia Xu had a strong sense of crisis and once again advised Cao Cao to send a vanguard army to explore the way first.
Well, caution is the best, Cao Cao also followed Jia Xu's advice and sent a vanguard.
And those who invite the war are happy to enter.
Le Jin is also a general under Cao Cao, and his martial arts are extraordinary. Even against Ma Chao, I believe it will not be too defeated.
In this way, Cao Cao agreed.
Since it was just a way to explore, the number of people who went in and out of the battle was not very large, and there were only 5,000 people.
Because even if he faced Ma Chao, at most he would confront or temporarily avoid the edge, and retreat and wait for Cao Cao's army.
It is equivalent to a pathfinder to see if there is an ambush and danger.
There is an airship scouting in the sky, and Lejin is not worried at all.
Even, he wanted to have a fight with Ma Chao.
If he can defeat Ma Chao, he will be regarded as a great achievement.
I have to say that every military general is fighting with his life.
success, fame and fortune.
Defeated, the head is broken and the blood flows.
Soon, Lejin and Ma Chao were on the right track.
"Hahahaha!" saw Ma Chao sneering: "Is Cao Cao no one, he actually sent an unknown person to fight!" β
