Li Feng thought nervously, dealing with Wei Ba, he felt that his brain was a little insufficient. I don't know what is hidden under Wei Ba's harmless smile, whether it is really a good plan or a pit.

For example, this suggestion now.

Zhuge Liang and their father and son are mortal enemies, there is no doubt about this. Although the court is not as bloody as the battlefield, at this point, if you still want to reconcile, it is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger.

Wei Ba suggested that when Li Yan went on an expedition, Zhuge Liang should be used as another department, is this suggestion feasible?

Wei Ba's two reasons were a little reluctant. Let Zhuge Liang contain Wei and prevent Wei and Wu from uniting? I'm afraid it's unlikely. Shu Han did not have the strength to fight with Wei and Wu at the same time, and if Zhuge Liang was allowed to attack Wei at the same time, it would inevitably have to allocate a large amount of money, food and materials to Zhuge Liang, which would undoubtedly increase the burden on the already not very abundant material supply.

As for the latter consideration, it is even more nonsense, since it is going to send troops, what accusations of sabotaging the alliance are still being considered? As long as he destroys the State of Wu and makes great contributions, who dares to accuse Li Yan of this reason?

So what is Wei Ba's intention? Li Feng had a smirk on his face, as if he was admiring the scenery, but in fact he was meditating.

Wei Ba didn't urge him, turned around, and talked to Yang Xi about the article. Yang Xi is about to write a "Jiaozhou Fu", which is said to have been written halfway through, and the writing is brilliant.

Li Feng thought about it for a long time, but he was still not sure, so he had to turn around and say: "General Zhennan, the prime minister is on the expedition, can you really help the general?" ”

"Don't count on help." Wei Ba sighed lightly: "I just hope that he doesn't join forces with the Wu people, and he should join forces with the outside." ”

"As for it?" Li Feng was taken aback. But there was a look of disbelief on his lips. "The prime minister is selfless, he must not be painful to his relatives and quick to his enemies, right?"

"Who is the prime minister, I don't dare to say anything. However, the jishu of Wu Guo's thunderbolt stone bomb came strangely, and I think the prime minister probably couldn't get rid of it. If the division goes out to conquer Wu this time, the sailor will inevitably be the main force. In terms of the number of warships, our army is inferior to the Wu army, but Jishu has some specialties. This point, the major general is clear. ”

Li Feng nodded. As Wei Ba said. The greatest hope of their father and son for Wei Ba was not how many troops he could send. It's about how many advanced warships can be delivered.

"However, what I want to remind the major general is that the jishu used by the warship I have here is also in the hands of the prime minister." Wei Ba slowed his tone. Said word by word: "If the prime minister is not willing to go to the general to fight in Eastern Wu." Leak the jishu of the warship to Sun Quan. That ......"

Wei Ba dragged out his voice and didn't say anything further. These are enough, and Li Feng, who heard the meaning of the words, has changed his face greatly.

Sun Quan was once very eager to ask for stone bullets to make jishu. Li Yan refused to take this responsibility, and pushed it to Zhuge Liang, who signed the contract at the beginning, Zhuge Liang did not give a clear answer, but Sun Quan no longer asked for this jishu, and then in the battle of Shouchun not long after, Wu Guo already had a sufficient supply of stone bullets.

Li Yan suspected that this jishu was leaked to Sun Quan by Zhuge Liang at that time. However, at that time, he had not yet conquered Wu's jihua, so he had been holding back. Now, he wants to conquer Wu, if Zhuge Liang leaks the jishu of the warship to Sun Quan again, not to mention that Shu Han will be defeated, at least the advantage will be greatly reduced, and it may even suffer a major setback.

Only then did Li Feng understand what Wei Ba was worried about. Wei Ba may not really want Zhuge Liang to participate in the war, he just wants to remind their father and son of this dangerous possibility. This way of talking around the bend is exactly the characteristic of officialdom, and it is your intelligence that is tested in the sense of one and the other. Obviously, in this contest, Li Feng lost the upper hand.

"I see, I'll remind my father to consider your suggestion." Li Feng said with palpitations. He felt that the sun was a little dazzling, a little sunny, and a slight sweat appeared on his forehead. "Thank you for the reminder, general, I almost missed a big thing."

"Haha......" Wei Ba smiled heartily: "The young general is modest, I just don't say it, don't you know that the general will ignore this problem?" Even if the general has a lot of opportunities and will not speculate on the prime minister like this, can the big Si Nong Ma Youchang still not check and make up for the shortcomings? If this is the case, he will not be able to bear the trust of the general, and the newly built manor of the Ma family in Yicheng should probably change hands. ”

Li Feng laughed wryly.

When the island arrived, the boat slowly stopped, and on the dock on the shore, countless figures guarded the island with a city wall. It was the school students who rushed to greet them after hearing the news, these half-grown children did not have to work in the fields, nor did they have to work, I heard that General Zhennan accompanied the general's son to inspect the island, and the school had a half-day holiday, and they all rushed to greet them, as a guard of honor.

Li Feng knew that these people were not here to greet him, and there was not even a general in their eyes, only Wei Ba, the general of Zhennan. Whether their father and son want it or not, this island will be Wei Ba's private property in the future. In that case, why not give it to him generously?

……

The boats docked one after another, and Wei Ba accompanied Li Feng to the front. Wei Xing walked to Sun Song's predecessor with a smile, bowed down and said, "Junhou, the general has left in advance, and I will accompany Junhou on the tour." Don't be polite, if you have any requests, just say to me, I will try my best to satisfy the prince and marquis, in order to apologize. ”

Sun Song glared at Wei Xing, but laughed again: "I want to buy a warship, can you do it too?" ”

"Haha......" Wei Xing also smiled happily: "Of course you can, as long as the prince is willing to ask for it and the funds are in place, it doesn't matter how many warships there are." ”

"Forget it, you just sold it to me, probably just an old-style warship, at best it was converted from a cargo ship, and the latest warship would not be sold to me."

"The prince thinks too much." Wei Xing warmly invited Sun Song and Zhang Wen ashore. These two people are no strangers to boats, and they have become accustomed to the waves in Hepu these days - this may also have something to do with the Jishu of Hepu Shipyard, and the sea boats they built are indeed relatively stable, unlike those boats in Wu Guo that shake a lot.

In the past few days since they came to Hepu, Sun Song and Zhang Wen already knew about Li Feng's existence, and Wei Ba did not intend to hide it from them anymore, and even agreed to their temptation to buy a ship, as long as the funds were in place, they could be put into production at any time. But Sun Song and Zhang Wen are no longer so sure. They didn't believe that Wei Ba would sell the warship to them. The reason why they did not leave, but stayed here, on the one hand, they did not give up, hoping to reach an agreement with Wei Ba to ensure that war would not break out for a period of time and buy time for Sun Quan to prepare, and on the other hand, they wanted to inquire about as much information as possible and collect some information for Wu Guo to improve shipbuilding by himself.

In these days in Hepu, they asked to visit from time to time in the name of buying boats, and also visited some shipyards. Although they couldn't see the most critical information, they were still very surprised by the scale and Jishu capabilities of the Hepu shipyard. As a shipyard that has been newly built for less than a year, the production capacity of Hepu Shipyard far exceeds that of the adjacent Panyu Shipyard, and even the largest Yuzhang Shipyard in the country. Because of the abundant funds, the Hepu shipyard is expanding, and surpassing the Yuzhang shipyard should be just around the corner.

For Wu Guo, this shipyard is a terrifying existence, like a giant beast that is growing at a jaw-dropping rate.

Sun Song was worried because of this. Zhang Wen's pressure was slightly less, but he was also a little uneasy, and his mood was somewhat heavy, where did he have any mind to appreciate Wei Ba's achievements in developing Zhu Ya and boast of his ability, but he just followed absentmindedly.

After watching the island for a day, Sun Song and Zhang Wen returned to their residences, and the two sat opposite each other, both a little silent. I don't know how long it took, but the hatch rang softly three times, then twice. Sun Song and Zhang Wen exchanged a surprised look, and Zhang Wen quickly got up and opened the hatch. A figure flashed in and stuck behind the bulkhead. Zhang Wen walked out, raised his waist, but looked around alertly, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he retreated to the cabin.

The man was already sitting in the corner, his back against the cabin, and he had hidden himself in the half-light, but his eyes were in full view of the cabin. He is like a vigilant fox, always on guard of his surroundings.

He is Zhou Yi, who has been hiding by Sun Song's side as an entourage these days.

"Ziyu, what did you find?" Sun Song said hopefully. Zhou Yi was very cautious, if he hadn't found something, he wouldn't have come to see him rashly.

"Hmm." Zhou Yi responded, reached out and dipped some wine in the cup, and drew a sketch on the case. "I sent someone to dive underwater, and I saw a strangely shaped bottom of the boat."

Sun Song and Zhang Wen looked at the bottom of the boat like an arrow, glanced at each other, and were both surprised.

"You mean, the bottom of their ships is not flat, but pointed?"

"Hmm." Zhou Yi nodded, and reached out to erase the sketch on the case. "I've sent the news back. When I came to see the prince, there was another question, I couldn't find out, and I hope the prince would find a way to take my people to the bottom of the cabin to have a look. It would be great if you could go to the place where it was produced. ”

"What secret?"

"Fast-moving jishu." Zhou Yi frowned slightly, as if he was thinking, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied. "Haven't you noticed that these boats don't have oars?"

Sun Song pondered for a moment: "You mean to say that they have more haode drive jishu than oars?" And this jishu,Where can you find your fine work? ”

"I know where it is, but I can't see it." Zhou Yi sighed lightly: "When the boat is advancing, the place where the water splashes on both sides is naturally their driving parts. But at that time, the water was splashing, and my people couldn't dive in. And when the ship stopped, there was a wooden door closed, so we knew that it was there, only separated by a plank, but we didn't know what was behind it. If the prince could see that thing with his own eyes, I think the jishu secret of the warship would be half solved. ”

"What's the other half?" Zhang Wen asked.

"It's offensive and defensive equipment." Zhou Yi scratched his head, and showed a rare embarrassed expression: "I haven't had a clue about these secrets so far. I just heard a little wind, and their ships were not only fast and able to withstand greater wind and waves, but also had powerful offensive and defensive equipment. It's a pity that I don't have any useful information about what these offensive and defensive tools look like. ”…… (To be continued......)
