Chapter 397: Sailors and Warships
Anhui City.
Soon, it's just around the corner.
On the side of Lujiang, Cai Mao is responsible for building ships and training sailors, he has already arrived in Lujiang and is busy working, it doesn't matter if Chen Zhou goes to the barracks or not, according to Cao Cao's meaning, he is almost here for vacation, and there is no need to toss too much.
When he arrived at Lujiang, Chen Zhou first arrived at Qiao's house.
Because Cao Cao supported Chen Zhou, Qiao Xuan, the old man, was very respectful to Chen Zhou, and brought people out early in the morning to greet him.
"Father!"
Er Qiao said happily.
Seeing that the two daughters were so good by Chen Zhou's side, Qiao Xuan could finally rest assured, and heard that Chen Zhou had made a lot of great contributions, and his status in the court was higher, and he was even more satisfied with this son-in-law, Cao Cao would be the emperor in the future, Chen Zhou did not say that he was crowned king, and the position of the prince of the country would definitely not be able to escape, and it was very beautiful to think about.
"Come in!"
Qiao Xuan said enthusiastically.
When he arrived at Qiao's house and sat in the hall, Qiao Xuan asked again: "Du Zhi came to Lujiang this time, is Prime Minister Cao Cheng preparing to use troops against the south?" ”
Chen Zhou shook his head and said, "It's not that fast, you still need to wait." ”
For military affairs, Qiao Xuan can only ask these things, since Chen Zhou refuses to say, he can't ask too much, and said: "When do you plan to leave when you come back?" ”
Chen Zhou didn't know when to leave, and said: "It depends on the situation, it is possible to stay in Lujiang for a long time." ”
"That's good!"
Qiao Shuang listened and said happily.
The feeling of going back to my parents' house is still very good.
After they briefly finished talking about the old days, Chen Zhou stayed in Qiao's house, put things away, and arranged everything.
"It's a good feeling to be back."
Qiao Ying said softly: "In Xudu, it feels good to have a husband by your side, but it feels different here. ”
Chen Zhou smiled: "If you have time in the future, you can come back more often." ”
Qiao Ying was still very considerate, shook her head lightly and said, "We are husbands, how can we come back to Lujiang casually?" It's out of line. ”
In Chen Zhou's opinion, many of the rules of this era are unnecessary, but they have to abide by them, and he will not object.
After cleaning up, it's night.
After the change of washing, Chen Zhou returned to the room, got into the middle of Er Qiao, and began tonight's man-making operation.
The next morning.
After Chen Zhou got up, he went to the river.
Dian Wei led the tiger soldiers, and guarded Chen Zhou's side, and when he arrived near the riverside camp, he saw that this place had begun to become large, and there was no shortage of shipbuilding craftsmen on the Yangtze River, as long as they could afford money and food, they could recruit a large number of them back.
Next to the barracks, there is also a dock.
It was in the dockyard that the ships were built.
There are also a number of trees piled up outside, all of which have been recently cut down from the mountains to build ships.
The sound of the training of the navy army came from the camp, there were shouts, and there were also the sounds of hitting the water, and the training was in full swing, in order to prepare for the south.
In order to go south and return to Xiangyang to take revenge, Cai Mao is now working very hard and teaching everything he knows, his ability is not very good, but his ability to lead the water army is indeed better than everyone else in Cao's army.
"Sir."
Cai Mao learned that Chen Zhou was coming, and led the troops out of the camp to greet him.
Here he is the real person in charge, and he knows very well that Chen Zhou's status in Cao Ying is very high and he needs to be treated seriously.
"General Cai can just do it!"
As soon as Chen Zhou came, he said directly: "Actually, I don't understand anything, the lord wants me to come here, professional things should be handed over to professional people to do, I understand this, General Cai doesn't need to pay attention to me, just do what you have to do." ”
Hearing this, Cai Mao exhaled.
Before seeing Chen Zhou, he was really worried that the people who Cao Cao inserted would give orders indiscriminately and command without knowing how to pretend to understand.
You must know that the northerners don't know much about water warfare, if the order is ordered, Cai Mao is thinking about how to train the troops?
Chen Zhou said this, and Cai Mao was relieved.
"Sir is modest, I have heard it a long time ago, and Sir understands everything."
Cai Mao smiled, it was still necessary to be polite, and then invited Chen Zhou into the barracks.
Chen Zhou just came to take a look, not to point fingers, after all, he was not professional, and he didn't understand anything about military training or anything.
"Is there anything you'd like to point, sir?"
Cai Mao also asked modestly.
Chen Zhou shook his head and said very sincerely: "I'm not pretending to be low-key and modest, but I really don't understand it, I just come to take a look." ”
After walking around, Chen Zhou went to the dock where the shipbuilding was built again, looked at it for a while, and then went back to Qiao's house, very self-aware, and would definitely not mess around.
——
Chen Gong turned into a businessman, brought several truckloads of goods, and entered Guanzhong through Wuguan.
To go out of Wuguan, you have to pass through Cao Cao's territory, they hide their identities as much as possible, and what they bring with them are indeed goods, which can stand up to inspection without any problems.
The merchants of the Han Dynasty went to the northwest to trade with the Hu people in the Western Regions, which was a normal thing, and basically no one would suspect it.
After coming out of the mountain road of the Qinling Mountains, it was necessary to go through an inspection by Cao Jun before it could be released.
Leaving the place of inspection, Chen Gong slowly exhaled and continued to walk northwest.
Entering Guanzhong, and then going to Liangzhou, the distance is still very far.
In order to perform more realistically, Chen Gong was in a hurry along the way, selling things at the same time, not walking very fast, and not too anxious, he walked for many days before he came to Liangzhou, and went directly to the state to govern Wuwei.
Wuwei's Guzang is where the county is located.
Not only Ma Teng is here, but Han Sui is also here.
"It's finally here!"
Chen Gong was dusty, but there were no complaints.
You must know that his trip is to atone for his crimes, and he must make up for his original mistakes here, persuade Han Sui, and let him fight with Ma Teng.
As for how to persuade, Chen Gong had an idea in his heart.
When he came to Guzang, he first found a place to stay, and then went to sell goods.
When the goods were almost sold, he prepared a greeting post and sent it to visit Han Sui, and the greeting post also specially stated Liu Bei, the uncle of the Han Emperor.
Han Sui's recent days in Liangzhou have not been very good, and the main reason is that he has no power.
Ma Teng became the pastor of Liangzhou, and united with Zhong Xuan of Chang'an, and gradually snatched away the power in the state, not only the political power, but also most of the military power, Ma Teng has been suppressing Han Sui's development in recent years.
The reason why he did this, in addition to being a little floating, Ma Teng also had another reason, that is, he really took refuge in Cao Cao, and wanted to help Cao Cao control Liangzhou and exclude Han Sui, so he did so many things, but Han Sui didn't understand, and he was not very willing to take refuge in Cao Cao.
He has always felt that Ma Teng is not happy with himself.
"Ma Shoucheng, I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have given in the first place."
Han Sui now regrets it.
But there is no way, some things are done even if they are not done.
"Master."
At this time, a subordinate walked in and said, "There is someone outside who has sent a prayer post." ”
He put down the prayer and departed.
Han Sui didn't want to see anyone, but when he saw the signature on the worship post, he was slightly stunned.
"Uncle Liu Huang?"
"Liu Bei?"
Han Sui thought for a while, but opened it to take a look.
