Li Feng thought nervously and dealing with Wei Ba, he felt that his mind was not enough... He didn't know what was hidden under Wei Ba's harmless smile, was it really a trick or a pit.
For example, this suggestion now.
Zhuge Liang and their father and son are mortal enemies, so there is no doubt that this is not as flesh and blood as the battlefield, but at this point, if you still want to reconcile, it is like a scam with a tiger.
Wei Ba suggested that when Li Yan went to war, Zhuge Liang would be the other subordinate. Is this suggestion feasible?
Both of Wei Ba’s reasons are a bit reluctant. Let Zhuge Liang restrain the Wei State and prevent the Wei and Wu alliance? I’m afraid it is unlikely. Shu Han does not have the strength to fight with Wei and Wu at the same time. If Zhuge Liang is allowed to attack Wei State at the same time, it will inevitably be allocated.
Giving a large amount of money, grain and materials to Zhuge Liang will undoubtedly increase the burden for the supply of materials that are not very abundant.
As for the latter consideration, it is even more nonsense. Since we are going to send troops, are we still considering the accusation of destroying the alliance? As long as we destroy the Wu Kingdom and make great contributions, who dares to use this excuse to accuse Li Yan?
So what is Wei Ba's intention? Li Feng had a fake smile on his face, as if he was admiring the scenery, but in fact he was thinking hard.
Wei Ba didn't urge him, so he turned around and talked about the article with Yang Xi. Yang Xi was about to write an article "Jiaozhou Fu", but it was said that he had already written halfway and had a brilliant literary talent.
Li Feng thought for a long time, but was still not sure, so he had to turn around and say, "General Zhennan, Prime Minister, can he really help the general?"
"Don't count on helping." Wei Ba sighed: "I just hope he doesn't join forces with the Wu people, and cooperate inside and outside."
"As for that?" Li Feng was shocked, but he looked disbelief. "The prime minister is selfless and he will not cause any pain to his relatives. He is happy, right?"
"I dare not argue about who the Prime Minister is. However, the technique of the thunderbolt chariot bomb in Wu State is strange, and I think the Prime Minister probably cannot escape it. If he goes to the army to conquer Wu this time, the navy will definitely be the main force. In terms of the number of warships,
Our army is not as good as the Wu army, but it has some technical expertise. The Major General is aware of this."
Li Feng nodded. As Wei Ba said, the greatest hope for Wei Ba was not how many soldiers he could send, but how many advanced warships he could provide.
"But, what I want to remind the Major General is that the technology used by the warships here is also in the hands of the Prime Minister." Wei Ba slowed down his tone and said word by word: "If the Prime Minister is unwilling to go to the general to fight against the Eastern Wu, the war will be carried out.
The ship's technology was leaked to Sun Quan, then..."
Wei Ba dragged his voice and didn't say anything further. This was enough. Li Feng's face changed drastically when he heard the implication.
Sun Quan once eagerly asked for the stone bomb production technology, but Li Yan refused to take on this responsibility and pushed it to Zhuge Liang who signed the contract. Zhuge Liang did not have a clear reply, but Sun Quan no longer asked for this technology. Then in the battle of Shouchun soon
, Wu State already has sufficient supply of stone bombs.
Li Yan suspected that this technology was leaked to Sun Quan by Zhuge Liang. However, he had no plans to conquer Wu at that time, so he had to endure it. Now, he wanted to conquer Wu. If Zhuge Liang leaked the technology of the warship to Sun Quan again,
Not to mention that Shu Han will definitely lose, at least the advantages will be greatly reduced, and it may even suffer major setbacks.
Only then did Li Feng understand what Wei Ba was worried about. Wei Ba might not really want Zhuge Liang to join the war, he just wanted to remind them to pay attention to this dangerous possibility. This way of talking around the corner is the characteristic of the officialdom, so
Speaking of that, what tests your intelligence. Obviously, in this contest, Li Feng was at a disadvantage.
"I understand. I will remind my father to consider your suggestions." Li Feng said with lingering fear. He felt that the sun was a little dazzling, and a little sweat appeared on his forehead. "Thank you for reminding me, I almost missed the big thing."
"Hahaha..." Wei Ba smiled heartily: "The Major General is humble. I just don't say it. Don't you know that the General will ignore this problem? Even if the General is ruling, he will not guess the Prime Minister so much.
Can Ma Youchang, a farmer from the Grand Secretary, not checking the rest and making up for the missing? If this is the case, he will be unable to bear the trust of the general. The newly built manor of the Ma family in Yicheng should probably change hands."
Li Feng smiled embarrassedly.
The island arrived, and the boat slowly stopped. On the dock on the shore, countless figures were like city walls guarding the island. They were the school students who came to greet them after hearing the news. These half-aged children did not have to go to the fields to work or work.
, I heard that General Zhennan accompanied the general's son to patrol the island. After half a day of vacation in the school, they all came to greet him and serve as a guard of ceremonies.
Li Feng knew that these people were not here to welcome him. There was no general in their eyes, only general Wei Ba, the Zhennan. Regardless of whether their father and son wanted to do so, this island would be Wei Ba's private property in the future. Since that's the case, why not be generous.
Give it to him?
...
The tower ships leaned against the shore one by one, and Wei Ba accompanied Li Feng to the front. Wei Xing walked to Sun Song's front with a smile and bowed, "June, General, if you have any prior time, come here, come here
Please accompany the Lord and the Lord to visit. Please don’t be polite. If you have any requests, tell me, I will try my best to satisfy the Lord and the Lord to express my apology.”
Sun Song glared at Wei Xing, but laughed again: "I want to buy a warship, can you do it?"
"Hahaha..." Wei Xing also smiled happily: "Of course, as long as Junhou is willing to ask for it, the funds are in place, there will be no problem for many warships."
"Forget it, even if you sell it to me, it is probably just an old warship. At best, it is modified with cargo ships. The latest warships will not be sold to me."
"Junhou is thinking too much." Wei Xing enthusiastically invited Sun Song and Zhang Wen to go ashore. These two people are not unfamiliar with ships. In Hepu these days, they have become accustomed to waves - this may also be with Hepu Shipyard.
The sea ships they built were indeed relatively stable, unlike those of the Wu Kingdom's ships that shaked a lot.
These days when we arrived in Hepu, Sun Song and Zhang Wen had already known about Li Feng's existence, and Wei Ba did not intend to hide it from them anymore. He 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 don’t believe that Wei Ba will sell the warship to them. The reason why they did not leave, but stay here is that on the one hand, they are not giving up, hoping that
The agreement was reached with Wei Ba to ensure that there would be no war breaking out for a period of time and to give Sun Quan time to prepare. On the other hand, they wanted to inquire as much information as possible and collect some information for Wu's own shipbuilding technology.
These days in Hepu, they asked for a visit from time to time in the name of buying a boat and also looked at some shipyards. Although they could not see the most critical information, the scale and technical capabilities of the Hepu Shipyard were still very surprised.
As a new shipyard that has been built for less than a year, the production capacity of Hepu Shipyard is far greater than that of Panyu Shipyard adjacent to it, and is even less than that of Yuzhang Shipyard in the country. Because of sufficient funds, Hepu Shipyard is expanding, exceeding that of more than
Yuzhang Shipyard should refer to something that is waiting.
For Wu Kingdom, this shipyard is a terrifying existence, like a giant beast, growing at an astonishing speed.
Sun Song was worried because of this. Zhang Wen was under a little pressure, but he was a little uneasy and was in a little heavy mood. He had no intention of appreciating Wei Ba's development of Zhu Ya's political achievements and praising his abilities, but he just followed him absent-mindedly
Forget it.
After watching on the island for a day, Sun Song and Zhang Wen returned to their residence. They sat opposite each other, and were a little silent. I don’t know how long it took, but the hatch door sounded three lightly, and then two more. Sun Song and
Zhang Wen exchanged a surprised look, Zhang Wen quickly got up and opened the hatch door. A figure flashed in and stuck behind the bulkhead. Zhang Wen walked out, stretched, but his eyes were alert.
After looking at it, I saw that no one was paying attention, so I returned to the cabin.
The man was already sitting in the corner, leaning against the cabin, allowing himself to hide in the darkness, but his eyes were all in his eyes. He was like a vigilant fox, always keeping alert to the surroundings.
He is Zhou Feng, who has been hiding by Sun Song as a follower these days.
"Ziyu, what did you find?" Sun Song said hopefully. Zhou Feng was very cautious. If he hadn't discovered anything, he wouldn't come to see him rashly.
"Yeah." Zhou Feng responded, reached out and dipped some wine in the cup, and drew a sketch on the table. "I sent someone to dive under the water and saw a strange-shaped bottom of the boat."
Sun Song and Zhang Wen looked at the bottom of the boat like an arrow, looked at each other, and were both surprised.
"You mean, the bottoms of these ships are not flat, but sharp?"
"Yeah." Zhou Feng nodded and reached out to erase the sketch on the table. "I have already sent this news back. I have another problem when I come to see Junhou. I can't find out. I hope Junhou will find a way to take me.
People go to the cabin to take a look. If they can go to the place where they are produced, it would be better."
"What secret?"
"The fast driving technique." Zhou Rui frowned slightly, as if thinking, and seemed a little dissatisfied. "June, didn't you notice that these ships have no oars?"
Sun Song pondered for a moment: "What do you mean is that they have better driving technology than paddles? And you can't find where your detailed work is?"
"I know where it is, but I can't see it." Zhou Feng sighed softly: "When the boat was moving forward, the place where the water splashed on both sides was naturally their driving parts. But at that time, the water splashed everywhere, and my people couldn't hide.
Go in. When the ship stopped, the wooden door was closed, so we knew it was there, only a wooden board was separated by a wooden board, but we didn't know what was behind the board. If Junhou could see that thing with his own eyes, I would like to fight the ship
The technical secrets were solved halfway.”
"What's the other half?" Zhang Wen asked.
"It's an offensive and defensive combat tool." Zhou Feng scratched his head and showed a rare embarrassment: "These secrets are still unclear. I just heard a little wind. Their warships not only sailed quickly, but also resisted the latest news.
There are big storms and powerful offensive and defensive combat equipment. Unfortunately, I don’t have any useful information yet on what these offensive and defensive combat equipment look like.”…
