Wei sent a dowry, and Bai Tu also greeted him along the way with the private guards of the Chu Palace......

Theoretically, Bai Tu didn't do any ceremony, but everyone knew that this was justifying the name of "Mrs. Xiahou".

"Ziyang, long time no see! It's hard at sea, isn't it? In the past two or three years, there is still very little home...... I heard that a while ago, Ziyang Mansion also added a son? Congratulations! After Bai Tu saw his old acquaintance Liu Ye, he specially politely said a few words.

When Liu Ye heard this, he grinned and said: "The foreign minister visited the king of Chu, the youngest son of the foreign minister, who was born in April!" ”

I don't know why, Liu Ye always feels that there is a deep malice in Bai Tu's word order - it makes it seem like I am not at home all year round, but I have "inexplicably" more children! Time counts, was it okay that I was at home at the time? And why can't I go home, don't you count?

At the same time, Liu Ye's heart also felt a slight pang: Why am I a "nobody", my concubine gave birth to a concubine more than three months ago, and the king of Chu already knows it now?

has just been born, and he is still a concubine, Liu Ye naturally will not publicize it everywhere, even in the Wei court, some estranged ministers of the same palace are afraid that they don't know about it!

However, Bai Tu knew it in Jinling, thousands of miles away......

And also take the initiative to mention? What is this implying to me?

"This time, Ziyang is still here on his own ship? Not bad...... What's it called? Turtles? Bai Tu asked again as if it had nothing to do.

“…… This is "Turtle Although Shou" from the king of my family. Liu Ye specially emphasized, and always felt that Bai Tu was also hinting at something when he mentioned this name at this time.

"Well, I heard from the Ministry of Industry that it has almost caught up with the sea ships that were launched in the General's Mansion back then, not bad, not bad." Bai Tu looked praised.

"Thank you King Chu for the compliment." Liu Ye also understood at this time that Bai Tu was beating Wei State, digging up his shipwrights, and stealing his technology, and Chu State knew it all - after all, he even knew that his concubine had given birth to a child.

Although in view of the current Chu-Wei relationship, Bai Tu didn't say much, but the meaning of the warning was obvious!

"By the way, congratulations to King Wei for finally destroying Yuan Yi's last stubborn resistance, but after that, I hope to fight back carefully." Bai Tu smiled and congratulated.

Speaking of this, Liu Ye also responded with a smile: "Thanks to Chu Jia's strength!" ”

That's right, just three months ago, the remnants of the Yuan clan in Youzhou were completely defeated by Cao Cao, and Yuan Tan took the remnants to join the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Luan Tihu Chuquan, wanting to unite the Xiongnu and Gao Gan in the east of Bingzhou, as well as Han Sui in Liangzhou in the west, starting with the integration of the annexation of the state, and counterattacking the Wei State in total.

Now Cao Cao has also focused his attention on the state......

However, when it comes to Chu Jia, that is, plate armor, in fact, in the final battle of Youzhou Jicheng, although it also appeared, it was in the nature of military training, in fact, there was no Chu Jia, and Yuan Tan was not Cao Cao's opponent.

But......

Chu Jia did play a huge role in Youzhou, that is, the Gongsun clan relied on the two thousand plate armor that went bankrupt, crossed Liaoze, and occupied the three counties of Liaoxi, Yuyang, and Shanggu, and the Wei State only got Daijun, Guangyang, Zhuo County, and Youbeiping - that is, the four counties in the south of Youzhou, and the northern Youzhou and several counties extending to the northeast were all occupied by the Gongsun clan.

Of course, Cao Cao is not very active, mainly because of the "cost" problem - Liaoxi, Yuyang, and Shanggu are all border counties facing Wuhuan in the north.

Since the Gongsun clan is so active, it is natural that he will also bear the responsibility of suppressing Wuhuan accordingly.

It's just that the Gongsun clan has always been a tyrant in the Northeast, Wuhuan or something, and it is not once or twice that he has been educated, especially after having Chu Jia...... For Wu Huan, who can only rush head-on, this thing is simply a battlefield reaper, a hammer that can't be resisted!

And after sending troops, the Gongsun clan also quickly sent an envoy to the Wei State, hoping to unite with it, and said that he could help him hammer the Huns, Cao Cao naturally didn't want to turn against the Gongsun clan now......

The reason why Cao Cao was determined to deploy defenses in Beiping and occupy the southern part of Beiping on the right was mainly for the sake of the mound - I felt that this place was nothing before, but now it is considered an excellent port location!

In addition, the port that Wei had been building before that, that is, the place where the turtle was launched, was the Zhangwu Port in Zhangwu County, Bohai County, Jizhou, both for the name of the place and for the direct announcement that this port was to "show martial arts".

In fact, when Bai Tu heard the news, he regretted it slightly......

Tuyin County and Zhangwu County, corresponding to the map, you will know, in fact, it is Tangshan Port and Huanghua Port in later generations!

Wei Guo also seems to be a capable person, and he has great potential to force it.

If Gan Ning was not in Bozhou this year, but stayed in Youzhou's Harbor, with his temperament, he would definitely respond at sea after knowing that the Gongsun clan had an action, and then take the land!

However, since Gan Ning was not there, Ling Tong, who stayed in the port, obviously lacked this kind of quick decision-not only was his ability unsightly important, but even if it could be seen, he was not the governor of the capital, and he had no authority to send troops without authorization.

It's just that now Bai Tu mentioned this matter, and his smiling expression made Liu Ye smile as well.

Oh, yes......

Thanks to Chu Jia, the Gongsun clan dared to take advantage of the Wei State!

Two thousand sets of plate armor......

Wei even wondered if this was not the Chu State giving it away for nothing, or "sending" it to the Gongsun clan at a low price in order to restrain his own family!

At the price of plate armor, the Wei State has to prepare slowly, and it has not given up imitation, and now only a few hundred sets have been traded, even if Liaodong has become a holy place to avoid disasters since the beginning of the troubled times, but where does the poor mountain and bad water have the ability to purchase 2,000 sets?

However, later in the contact, Wei also found out that Gongsun had mortgaged a lot of rich ores and any future "currency printing rights" to Chu State, so he borrowed 2,000 sets of plate armor......

What else can be said?

On the one hand, he scolded the Gongsun clan for having no brains, only looking at the immediate interests, and on the other hand, he scolded the Chu State for being naïve, not afraid that the Gongsun clan would turn his face in the future and lose all his money!

Of course, scolding and scolding, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that if the Gongsun clan does not look at the immediate interests, it will be blocked by the Wei State in Liaoze now, and it will not be able to grab the "wreckage" of the Yuan clan at all, which can shrink in Liaodong, and there is no interest at all.

As for whether the state of Chu is naïve?

Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others were very suspicious, whether Chu Guo had not thought about Gongsun breaking the contract, or was not worried about him breaking the contract at all!

"What does the king think of the Turtle?" Liu Ye asked thoughtfully.

"This king hasn't seen ...... yet" Bai Tu's truth-telling made Liu Ye helpless for a while.

Liu Ye naturally knew that Bai Tu must have sent someone to inquire about the situation a long time ago, what is the difference between seeing it with his own eyes? The question is what do you think of the report given to you by the Ministry of Industry...... Say as if you're a professional and can see what!

At the same time, Liu Ye even doubted that Bai Tu's "I didn't see" was literal, or did he want to say it...... Dismissive?

He hoped it was the latter.

Bai Tu also knows that Liu Ye is going to officially propose to "buy a boat"!

There were many princes who were obsessed with chasing the technology of the Chu State, but Cao Cao was the first to focus on sea ships and even proposed to buy ships......
