Xiong Wuliang didn't think twice: "It's called Ping'a boat!" ”

Most of the craftsmen and sailors on both sides were Ping'a locals, and when they heard Xiong Wuliang's name, they couldn't help but be greatly excited, and cheered in unison.

As the first sharp-bottomed ship in history, the name of the Pinga ship will surely be passed down in the annals of history.

Xiong Wuliang and his entourage boarded one of the boats, touched left and right, and although they didn't understand much, they felt very satisfied. The sailors practiced skillfully, and the large bed crossbows pushed out of the cabin clearly indicated that this was a warship.

Shi Er seemed to see that Xiong Wuliang didn't know how to do it, so he simply summarized: "My lord, the speed, protection, and stability of the Ping'a ship are much higher than the warships of the active sailors of Qi and Chu. ”

"It's just that for the sake of stability, the arrow tower on the ship is relatively low, and the number of bed crossbows that can accommodate is also smaller."

"So in terms of attack power, it may be slightly inferior to the main ships of the naval divisions of Qi and Chu."

Xiong Wuliang was already very satisfied.

As long as the Ping'a ship can sail on the sea very reliably, then Xiong Wuliang's purpose of designing this ship has been achieved.

……

In March, Yingdu sent messengers. Xuanzuo Yin Right Sima Quyang Hou returned to the royal capital, and played in front of the king.

Xiong Wuliang led Zhong Hua and 800 personal soldiers and went straight to Yingdu, and the team of people and horses along the way was mighty, and he attracted enough attention.

"Who is this?" Farmers stopped to make way.

"The new Quyang Hou, Xiong Liang."

……

When they arrived outside the city of Yingdu, eight hundred pro-soldiers camped in situ, Zhong Hua led dozens of pro-soldiers to escort Xiong Wuliang into Yingdu, still going straight to the post house and checking in first.

When the little official of the post house saw Xiong Wuliang, he was very kind, and he didn't need Xiong Wuliang to greet him, so he did everything properly and chose the best courtyard for the latter.

"How's that kid Zhaokong?" Xiong Wuliang asked casually.

"Thanks to the blessing of the prince - Zhaokong is crazy, it is said that now he can only giggle, and he can't even get out of the door." The innkeeper said beautifully.

Xiong Wuliang sighed.

It seems that last time, he was for the people of Yingdu except for a scourge.

This kind of bear child who is full of evil thoughts is pure evil. In Xiong Wuliang's opinion, it is not a pity to die, and it is cheap for him to be scared crazy.

However, Zhao Kong is the eldest grandson of Zhao Ju after all.

This feud is getting bigger and bigger.

Xiong Wuliang is not afraid of Zhaoju - having soldiers and food in his hands is the greatest confidence! really forced Lao Tzu to be anxious, so he arranged a set of 'Qingjun side' package for Zhaoju. Looking at the huge Chu State, who can stop the 10,000 Quyang new army in a hurry?

"What happened to Yingdu this time?" Xiong Wuliang asked the post house official again.

The messenger who went to the fiefdom to deliver the message was vague and mysterious, and as a result, Xiong Wuliang still didn't know what it meant to let him come to Yingdu this time to 'play the right'.

The little official of the post house smiled, and said respectfully: "The prince can be regarded as asking the right person - it is said that a messenger came from the Yan Kingdom, and the villain doesn't know exactly why he came." ”

Xiong Wuliang sighed again.

The emissary of the Yan Kingdom?

What for?

Xiong Wuliang thought carefully - Yan State is now the reign of King Yan Zhao, appointing capable ministers such as Ju Xin and Le Yi, and is working hard to govern the country, waiting for revenge on Qi State.

From a geographical point of view, Yan is far away from Chu State!

One in the far north and one in the far south.

Draw the shortest straight line distance, and the middle should be separated by the Song Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom.

Because of the geographical distance, there is no friction in military and political affairs, and there are not many exchanges between merchants and merchants...... Chu and Yan have not had any state exchanges.

And to be honest - Yan Guo has always vaguely looked down on Chu State.

The ancestor of the Yan royal family is the famous Zhao Gong Ji Zheng, after the Wu King destroyed the Shang in 1044 B.C., the meritorious minister Ji Zheng was in the Yan land, it is for Yan Zhaogong, which has been handed down so far, has a history of nearly 800 years.

The Yan royal family is an out-and-out blood relative of the Son of Heaven and a descendant of the surname Ji.

On the other hand, the state of Chu - cough cough, needless to say, in the eyes of the noble blood of the Yan royal family, they are a bunch of barbarians.

Why did such a Yan State, which vaguely looked at each other with the Chu State, suddenly send an envoy to Yingdu?

Xiong Wuliang went straight to the palace, and after a while, he was ushered into the palace of political affairs.

At this moment, the government hall is very lively.

The envoys from the Yan Kingdom stood in the center of the main hall, King Chu Huai was at a loss and couldn't make up his mind, and the ministers in the palace were talking a lot, and there was a lot of confusion.

Xiong Wuliang walked into the hall quietly, but he didn't attract attention...... He walked behind Qu Ping and patted the latter's shoulder: "What are you talking about?" ”

Qu Ping was taken aback!

When he came to his senses, he realized that it was Xiong Wuliang, and his eyes couldn't help but soften: "Yan Guo sent envoys to join forces with Great Chu to attack." ”

Qu Ping knew that his brother Qu Yuan was currently serving in Xiong Wuliang's office, and Xiong Wuliang had left an excellent impression on Qu Ping in the Great War of Attack on Vietnam...... Therefore, it is natural to look at the latter very pleasing to the eye.

Xiong Wuliang was stunned!

Coalition Forces?

It is still several years before the combined forces are captured in history!

Am I mistaken?

I only heard the envoys of the Yan Kingdom amplify their voices, trying to drown out the voices of the Chu ministers, and said impassionedly: "King Mingjian-"

"The country of Qi is arrogant and unreasonable, and it has attracted the attention of the world, and it is for a single husband! In the first battle of Gaoping last year, the state of Chu defeated the state of Qi, and all the countries in the world celebrated with crowns and praised the great power of the king! ”

"However, the people of Qi have already hated the Chu State, and after they recuperate, they will definitely start a big war with the Chu State!"

"Now that Le has come to the Chu State, he just wants to join forces with the Chu State and strike first!"

"Le has visited many countries...... As long as the State of Chu agrees, it can gather the forces of the Six Nations Alliance and attack the State of Qi! ”

……

Xiong Wuliang understood.

In real history, in a few years, the state of Qi will annex the state of Song.

As a result, the Qi State was too powerful and attracted the attention of the world.

So Yan took the lead, pulled Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin, and organized a five-nation alliance, with a total of hundreds of thousands of allied troops, to attack Qi together.

But right now, the right time for the Yan State is not that the countries are afraid of the Qi State, but that the Qi State has been newly defeated and has become a piece of fat that everyone is hungry for.

"This person's surname is 'Le'?" Xiong Wuliang pricked up his ears and asked Xiang Quping: "What's his name?" ”

Qu Ping: "Yan Guoyaqing Le Yi, after the famous general Le Yang of Wei State." ”

Xiong Wuliang immediately became energetic, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Le Yi back and forth-

This is a ruthless man!

In real history, the battle of Yan State against Qi was to use Le Yi as the general, and as a result, he defeated Qi with a weak victory and a strong victory, and captured 72 cities of Qi in a row. If it weren't for the early death of King Yan Zhao, Le Yi would have been suspicious of the new monarch of Yan Kingdom...... It is estimated that the Qi State was destroyed by the Yan State in this way.

Can you think of a way to make this guy work for him too?

Xiong Wuliang was wandering outside the world with wishful thinking, but he saw his old friend Zhao Ju standing up, clearing his throat, and arching his hand to the king of Chu-
