In order to thank Yang Rui, in gratitude, Qiao Mao took out a shipbuilding drawing and handed it to Yang Rui.

"Drawings of a dhow ship: It can be made into a dhow, 8 zhang long, 2 zhang 5 feet wide, with a single sailing mast, a single-layer 12-oar structure, which can carry 300 sailors or ordinary long-range archers, and can be equipped with a small number of crossbow machines and other equipment.

Materials: 100 units of wood above 9 grades, 1000 units of ordinary wood. Conditions: Senior Dockyard, Senior Carpenter. ”

According to Qiao Mao, the content of this shipbuilding drawing should be a small naval warship, Yang Rui is not sure, the drawing does not say that it must be a sea ship, in fact, a ship of this size should also be suitable for passage in inland rivers.

In contrast, the difficulty of building this kind of ship is much simpler than that of a building ship, not only the material requirements for building a ship are lower, but the equipment required and the level of carpenter are not as high as those for building a ship, so this drawing can be completely handed over to a carpenter other than Jiao Wen to be responsible for improving efficiency.

Although the dhow is much smaller than the building ship in terms of volume, but each kind of ship has its suitable function, Yang Rui has successively obtained the manufacturing drawings of the building ship and the dhow warship, and the types of ships in his hands will be much richer in the future, which will be the basis for Yang Rui to develop water power, and naturally the drawings are carefully put away.

Next, Yang Rui at the invitation of Qiao Mao, and went to the place where the princes of all walks of life meet every day outside the gate of Luoyang City Valley, because Yang Rui and Qiao Mao spent a lot of time talking, it was close to noon when they arrived at the place where the princes met, and the other princes had already arrived, and they saw Yang Rui and Qiao Mao almost hand in hand. The thoughts of everyone present were also different.

Of course, Yang Rui knew the impact of Qiao Mao's invitation to accompany him. But now that it has been allied with it. Yang Rui planned to support him with all his might, so when he entered the big tent where the princes were located, he also deliberately showed that he was talking and laughing with Qiao Mao, so that everyone knew the close relationship between the two.

Sometimes, when the important points are properly displayed, it will save a lot of effort by potential opponents who dare not act or have scruples. Just like Qiao Mao's current situation, if Liu Dai didn't know the relationship between the two, he couldn't say what he would do, and even if Yang Rui wanted to save him, he might not be able to come in time.

"The Blazing Sun Vice Alliance Leader has finally arrived today."

saw Yang Rui and Qiao Mao almost hand in hand. Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and greeted. He had already sent a letter of reconciliation to Yang Rui before, and at this time, he naturally had to make some practical attitudes to show his sincerity.

Yuan Shao is like this, and the other princes from all walks of life also got up to greet each other, and Yang Rui's remarks when he left before really stimulated the princes from all walks of life, although they were under the guise of begging for Dong, but there were very few things to do to ask for Dong, so there were still a few people among the princes who admired Yang Rui.

Even if there are some princes who are not interested in Yang Rui and don't even want Yang Rui to appear, such as Liu Dai and others. At this time, under the drive of Yuan Shao, he also stood up, and pretended to be polite with Yang Rui before sitting down one after another. As for what he really thinks in his heart, it is not known to outsiders.

After Yang Rui and Qiao Mao sat down, Yuan Shao enthusiastically persuaded Yang Rui to drink the three rounds of wine, and then Yuan Shao and the other princes were going to meet Yang Rui alone for a few glasses, but Yang Rui pushed them off with overwhelming wine.

"Lieyang Prefecture Mu came at the right time, in recent days, we are discussing the matter of assigning troops to garrison Henan Yin, Lieyang Prefecture Pastor also happened to talk about his opinions, and Qingzhou has a strong army, I hope that Lieyang Prefecture Pastor will focus on the overall situation and share more of the task of garrisoning."

Seeing that Yang Rui didn't like drinks, Yuan Shao turned to talking about business, and it was still the same old way, as soon as he came up, he was "focusing on the overall situation" and the like, and he kept giving Yang Rui a high hat, the purpose of course was to ask Yang Rui to send more troops.

"I very much agree with Yuan Shaomeng's practice of dividing troops to garrison to prevent Dong Zhuodong's invasion, but the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, you are all loyal ministers of the Han family, although the ability and strength are big and small, but the loyalty is not divided into high and low!

There are a total of 21 counties in the jurisdiction of Henan Yin, of which 8 county seats are located on the east side of Hugao Pass, and the remaining 12 county towns and the imperial city of Luoyang are in the west of Hugao Pass.

Therefore, if the princes of all walks of life divide their troops to garrison a city, and move the people under each autonomy to come to Henan Yin, those who are closer to the jurisdiction can lead a county town to garrison alone, and those who are far away from the jurisdiction can give priority to the city to be garrisoned, and can garrison the same county seat on both sides.

In this way, the princes of our eighteen roads are also good, and each of them will do their part for the Han family! What do you think of what the sun said? ”

For the matter of dividing troops and stationing them, Yang Rui has his own purpose and has already prepared a set of rhetoric, but at this time he himself knows that it is difficult to get the support of all the princes, in fact, the ultimate purpose of Yang Rui's statement is also to mark his position, and to take into account the conditions for creating as many imitation documents and official seals as possible.

"This"

"Lieyang's loyalty can be seen, but it is indeed difficult to divide troops to garrison!"

"The road is far away, and I can't take care of myself, how can I divide my troops to come to Henan Yin?"

"Yes! yes."

“”

Sure enough, after Yang Rui's remarks, most of the princes talked about the difficulties of dividing troops and garrisoning, and even Qiao Mao, including Qiao Mao, glanced at Yang Rui suspiciously, he had already received Yang Rui's promise to share the task of dividing troops and garrisoning for him, but he was not worried about himself, but he couldn't understand the intention of Yang Rui's words.

"The deputy leader of the Lieyang Alliance is really Chicheng and loyal, and I am ashamed of myself as the leader of the Dong Alliance, and I admire it very much! However, the princes of all walks of life do have some difficulties in dividing troops to garrison, especially those who are far away from the jurisdiction, and it is not very realistic to forcibly divide troops to garrison, so the advice of the scorching sun needs to be discussed again. ”

It is likely that because he sent a letter of reconciliation to Yang Rui, or if he had other plans, Yuan Shao's attitude towards Yang Rui at this time was simply a different person than before, and he always held Yang Rui very high! According to Yang Rui's guess, reconciliation is just a façade, and Yuan Shao is likely to use "Yang Rui's loyalty" to share some more tasks in Henan Yin.

Due to the conflict between Yang Rui's proposed construction and Yuan Shao's own interests, of course he would not stand on Yang Rui's side, and the true intention of the vast majority of princes at this time was that they did not want to divide their troops to garrison Henan Yin, so they echoed Yuan Shao's statement in words.

"What about Yuan Shao's opinion as the leader of the alliance? Do you want to return Luoyang and even the entire Henan Yin to Dong Zhuo's old thief? It's a result of our hard work! Yang Ruiyi said sternly, although his attitude towards Yuan Shao has been somewhat restrained, but he looks like he is arguing with reason.

"That's not my intention, otherwise there would be no discussion of dividing the troops. It's just that there are many difficulties in the actual situation, and we still need to think in detail about how to divide the troops. Yuan Shao also looked extremely patient.

"It is true that the distant princes have some difficulties, but this is not a reason not to send troops, but how many princes are close to this place? Qingzhou, the jurisdiction of Wu Lieyang, is not close to here, so can we not divide our troops? Yang Rui asked rhetorically.

"This" Yuan Shao was speechless for a while.

At this point, the princes from all walks of life also began to discuss, discussing whether all the princes should participate in the division of troops to garrison Luoyang and Henan Yin, and if not, which people should be more appropriate to garrison, but everyone has their own opinions, and the discussion is fruitless.

"Don't worry, the deputy leader of the Lieyang Alliance, I have reached an agreement with several princes before you came, and now Cao Mengde has volunteered to garrison the 8 county towns east of Hujiao Pass, and take Zhongmu County as a place to stay.

As for the rest of the counties west of the Tiger Prison Pass, they are stationed by several princes who are closer to the jurisdiction, and those who are farther away from the jurisdiction can also divide the troops to come to the station, otherwise they must pay money and food to be responsible for the supply of the princes after the division of troops, of course, if it is wishful thinking, the princes can also be exchanged with each other, so what does Lieyang think? ”

Yuan Shao waited for the princes to discuss for a while before he spoke out again, in comparison, his proposal seemed to be somewhat constructive, and the princes basically calmed down after hearing it, and seemed to be considering the feasibility of this law.

However, it was not until this time that Yang Rui discovered that Cao Cao was not at the scene, but had already left, and took Zhongmu County as a foothold, and also picked up the 8 county towns east of Tiger Prison Pass, which were the easiest to defend!

There's got to be some kind of deal! This was Yang Rui's first reaction. Cao Cao, who originally had no position in any place, got 8 county seats at once at this time, and although these 8 county towns were in the territory of Yin, Henan, they had never been relocated by Dong Zhuo's generals!

In this way, even if Cao Cao has not obtained the position of Dongjun Taishou for the time being, his territory is still in the vicinity of Yanzhou, and it seems that Cao Cao's rise in the game setting should be irreversible!

As a result, Yang Rui also felt the crisis, although due to his appearance, there have been some changes in the course of the game, and now he has obtained the Qingzhou jurisdiction smoothly, and also rescued Ding Yuan and praised him as the Taishan County Taishou, and has just signed an alliance agreement with Qiao Mao, but the specific direction in which the game will develop is not up to Yang Rui

"What does the Blazing Sun Vice Alliance Master think?"

Yuan Shao saw that Yang Rui was thoughtful, so he reminded again.

"You've got a good plan! Thinking that Qingzhou is a poor and remote place, if you want money or money, you have no food, and it seems that you can only divide your troops to garrison Luoyang. Hum! Yang Rui said angrily.

"The deputy leader of the Lieyang Alliance is guarding the area around Luoyang, which can shock Dong Zhuo and make him dare not go east, so I am relieved." Yuan Shao's eyes inadvertently showed a hint of cunning, and the joy of achieving his goal could hardly be concealed. (To be continued......)
