Chapter 112 Cao Shuang is in charge of the handsome

Hongze Lake.

A boat was slowly moving along the shore. The boat was not the kind of small fishing boat, exactly the same as the kind of boat that Zhuge Liang used to borrow arrows from the straw boat. Of course, there are no straw men on the boat now.

In the cabin, there were wine and food on the small table, and there was a fresh fish that had just been steamed. Around them, Bu Zhi, Zhang Cheng and Yan Yan sat together.

The three of them are friends who have been with each other for decades. Among them, Zhang Cheng and Yan Qing are both from Pengcheng, Xuzhou, and Bu Zhi is from Huaiyin, Xuzhou, so the three of them are considered fellow villagers. It is precisely because of this that the three of them walked together and often advanced and retreated together. Just like during the Battle of Chibi, Zhang Cheng's father surrendered. At that time, Bu Zhi and Yan Qing also surrendered behind Zhang Zhao, and both of them debated with Zhuge Liang.

Zhang Cheng took a sip of the wine in his glass, and then said, "Sima Yi has submitted a letter to His Majesty to establish a port in Donglai. I heard that His Majesty is considering it."

Bu Zhi nodded: "This Sima Yi is really impatient. It took so long to think about reaching his hand to the navy."

"Sima Yi is not simple. If he can control Donglai Dagang, it will be like he has 100,000 soldiers under his command. But speaking of this, Sima Yi married Qingxu Erzhou and was at the time of favor. Maybe Your Majesty will really give Donglai Dagang to Sima Yi." Yan Yan said.

Bu Zhi nodded: "The key to this matter depends on how Brother Ziyu thinks. If Brother Ziyu also supports Sima Yi, there will be 80% chances in Donglai Dagang. I just don't know what Brother Ziyu thinks? Zhang Cheng, there should be news from you!"

"I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday to find out the verbal talk, but the Prime Minister was still the same, asking questions and answering everything, but he didn't ask any news." Zhang Cheng replied.

"Well, Sima Yi is still good for us to take charge of Donglai Dagang. Let's do this. When you go to court tomorrow, if your Majesty asks, let's help Sima Yi!" Bu Zhi said.

...

As soon as Huang Hao walked out of the palace gate, Sima Zhao quickly walked up to him.

"Eunuch Huang, what do you think about your father's letter of construction of Donglai Dagang?" Sima Zhao asked.

"Your Majesty is very moved, but you have to wait until tomorrow to listen to the opinions of others." Huang Hao said.

Sima Zhao took out a delicately carved jade lion from his arms and stuffed it into Huang Hao's hand: "I would like to do my best in this matter, and I will thank you very much after the matter is completed."

"Hahaha." Huang Hao smiled happily, put away the jade lion, and said, "Our family is just a eunuch and cannot interfere in the government affairs. Therefore, some things that our family cannot do too obvious, so I have to ask Lord Sima for forgiveness."

"How dare you, how dare you..."

...

In the court, Sun Deng glanced at the minister below, and then asked: "Tell me about the matter of the construction of the Dagang in Donglai!"

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, but they all had no words.

"Why, everyone is not talking?" Sun Deng glanced at everyone and his eyes remained on Bu Zhi.

"Bu Zhi, let's talk first!"

Bu Zhi immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think this move is feasible. When building a Dagang in Donglai, our Dongwu navy can reach Liaodong, Jizhou and Liaodong, and can attack and retreat."

Gu Yong followed and said, "Your Majesty, General Lu Xun is most familiar with this naval army matter. I think that the construction of a new port in Donglai is not a matter of time. It is better to wait until Lu Xun comes back to discuss it."

"What you said makes sense. What are your other opinions?" Sun Deng continued.

Speaking this sentence as Gu Yong almost played a foregone conclusion, and almost no minister dared to come out to object.

Gu Yong glanced at everyone with satisfaction. The officials of the Jiangdong group have always followed Gu Yong and Lu Xun, so naturally there would be no objection. However, those officials from Jiangbei who came from the Jiangbei were no match for Gu Yong in terms of status and discourse. Everyone was very tactful and did not stand up.

"Cough cough..." A light cough came, and then Zhuge Jin stood up.

When Zhuge Jin stood up, Gu Yong's face suddenly became ugly. If this upward voice could suppress Gu Yong, the only one would be Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin is very slick, so Gu Yong originally thought Zhuge Jin would not stand up and object, but he didn't expect Zhuge Jin to stand up and stand up.

"Your Majesty, I think it is urgent to build Donglai Port!" Zhuge Jin said loudly.

"Immediately? Let's hear it."

"Your Majesty, Donglai is built, and our Jiangdong Navy can attack Jizhou by sea at any time without passing through the barriers on land. After the army attacks Leling by water, it can go to Nanpi and break through Hejian after attacking Bohai. If you take the land, you will attack Hejian by Qingzhou, and it will be very difficult in the two places of Nanpi. This is the first benefit."

"Secondly, Liu Chan has been coveting Jizhou for a long time, and he will probably send troops to attack Jizhou soon. Liu Chan attacked Jizhou, but he had to take one land route, but Liu Chan occupied two places, Yanzhou, and two troops could attack Jizhou, and the troops could go directly to Handan and defeat Wei County to attack Yecheng. It is difficult to get from Yanzhou, and Chaoge is the one who passes through Muye, and then it should also attack Yecheng directly. The distance is that the Han army is closer than us. If your Majesty wants to seize Jizhou, the attack from land is faster than the Han army, so he must go on the sea route and use surprise attacks."

"Third, if Liu Chan captured Jizhou, the world would become a half-way force. At that time, the Donglai Navy could restrain and harass Liu Chan, which was the third benefit."

"Well said!" Sun Deng nodded with satisfaction.

Sun Deng has been the emperor for several years, so how could he not understand the strength of the imperial power contained in it? At this time, Sun Deng wanted to support Sima Yi, and if he wanted Sima Yi to compete with the huge gentry forces in Jiangdong, he would definitely need to have corresponding power. This Donglai Dagang was an opportunity.

Sun Deng took a deep breath: "So-called military force is the most important thing. The construction of Donglai Port is an urgent matter. This matter is decided like this. As for the construction of the port, let's leave it to Zang Ai and Zhuge Dan to handle it!"

"Your Majesty, no!" Gu Yong stood up again: "Your Majesty, Zang Ai and Zhuge Dan are not in a water battle. How can they take on this important task? I think it is better to select a naval general in Jiangdong to preside over this matter."

"Your dear words are wrong..." Sun Deng waved his hand and continued: "Zang Ai is the governor of Qingzhou. The construction of a large port in Donglai should be under the jurisdiction of Zang Ai. Moreover, Qingzhou has just surrendered and the people have not yet returned to their hearts. Send Zang Ai to carry out this matter. First, it can express my trust in these newly surrendered people and let them return to their hearts. Second, the construction of Donglai Da Port is a big deal. Even if I go to Donglai, I may not be able to dispatch local officials and civilians. If the progress is delayed, it will be bad. As for what I said, Zang Ai does not have water wars, it is easy to deal with. If there is no water war, he can learn it. Moreover, Donglai Port is built in the shape of Kuaiji Port. If Zang Ai is copied, it will not be much better."

"Yes!" Gu Yong nodded. At this time, no matter how stupid Gu Yong was, he could see that Sun Deng was determined to support Sima Yi.

"Okay, Sima Yi, I just came here for a long time and wanted to turn against you! It seems that we Jiangdong people were too kind before. When Lu Xun comes back, we must give you some great tastes!" Gu Yong thought viciously.

...

Yecheng.

Bad news came one by one, and there was a decadent atmosphere throughout Yecheng from top to bottom. Officials all knew that Wei State was losing a lot, and now they were just surviving, so they no longer had that kind of aura on weekdays. And the common people seemed to know that the young emperor in the palace could not sit for a few days and was dejected, and the expressions on many people's faces were even more like walking corpses.

Every dynasty has no shortage of loyal ministers and survivors. These loyal ministers and survivors may not do anything in normal times, but when the dynasty is about to perish, they will always stand up.

Now, those ministers and people who were loyal to the Wei Kingdom gathered in front of the palace. Every time a person came out of the palace, even if he was just a eunuch, everyone would rush up to find out the latest news. However, there was no valuable news.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way..." The shouts sounded, and then bursts of horse hooves came.

"Look, it's Lord Cao Shuang coming!"

Everyone flashed to the sides, and Cao Shuang rode his horse to the front of the palace gate. Then Cao Shuang got off the horse and walked into the palace.

Everyone watched Cao Shuang's back gradually disappear, gathered together again, and whispered.

Time passed minute by minute, and the sun gradually rose to its highest point, then slowly turned westward, and then it was time to light the lights again, and Cao Shuang still did not come out.

The guards in front of the palace gate did not drive away these people, and as time went by, many people gradually dispersed, but a small number of people still gathered in front of the palace gate.

A lantern swayed forward and, under the shadow of the lamp, an eunuch appeared in front of everyone.

The eunuch came near and shouted in a sharp voice: "Everyone, it's getting late, everyone has dispersed, go home and sleep!"

"This father-in-law, the Han army and the Eastern Wu army have already reached the forefront. How can my people in the Great Wei Dynasty sleep?" an old man said.

"Yes, we are loyal to the Great Wei. As long as your Majesty gives you an order, we will immediately wear armor and hold a sword to serve Your Majesty. Even if we die in the battlefield, we will do whatever we can!" Another strong man said.
