Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Although Guan Yu could resolve all matters in Jingzhou with a single word, the mobilization of navy soldiers and warships would take time.

However, as orders were issued one after another, even the vendors carrying rattan baskets on Gangneung Pier noticed that the atmosphere was abnormal.

This is already the ninth warship that has passed today. Isn't there going to be another war?

For people in troubled times, it is completely normal to come to this conclusion.

It was a matter of life and death. People on the dock immediately gathered together and chatted:

Zhou Lang is gone. If the Cao thieves attack again, how can we stop him?

You have to block it even if you can't, otherwise why don't you run away to Jiaozhou?

Jiaozhou is plagued by insect pests. I don't want to go to such a miserable place... maybe Cao Jun is not that miserable?

This statement immediately attracted ridicule from the dock merchants:

You can't even use currency, how can you do anything better?

Although travel between the north and the south is now closed, traders often have their own unique ways. For example, nearly half of the silk traded here will eventually flow to the north through various means in exchange for profits.

Therefore, for the merchants, it would not be good news if they were placed under the rule of Prime Minister Cao.

The vendor who spoke first whispered:

I wonder if General Guan can win?

Someone sneered: I didn't see General Guan showing any bravery during the Red Cliff period.

At that time, some people were dissatisfied and jumped out to tell the story of General Naguan's victory over Yan Liang in Hebei.

Someone immediately retorted, saying that Yuan Shao was said to have led an army of millions but was defeated by Prime Minister Cao. This shows that Yuan Shaoding is a person with no reputation, and Yan Liangding is almost the same.

During the quarrel, someone suggested that we go to Chengdu or Jiangdong in advance to wait and see the situation.

Some people agree, some people angrily accuse him of running away from the battlefield, and some people plausibly claim that they are not soldiers in the first place.

There was a commotion on the dock, but it immediately calmed down because another warship came over.

It's so big and so weird! This is the wonder in everyone's hearts.

Compared with the nine ships that passed by today, this warship was twice as big. When it passed by the dock, it made their merchant ships seem to fall apart at a touch.

It was very strange at the same time, because the stern of the ship was not flat, and there were three huge things like wagon wheels placed on it.

Watching the giant ship sail away, the dock became quiet again.

General Guan said there was no war in Jiangling, right? a vendor asked in a low voice.

So more merchants recalled this red-faced general, who seemed to...never break his promise in the past two years?

Some people have made certain decisions in their hearts, and some people have also felt a thin ray of confidence in their hearts.

One person in the crowd quietly retreated. After entering the city, he walked along the familiar roads and quickly entered the back door of a mansion with the character Liu written on it.

In the mansion, Liu Zhang was lying on a soft cushion. He peeled off a fruit, rolled it twice in sucrose powder, and put it in his mouth.

The sweet sensation on the tip of his tongue made Liu Zhang squint his eyes. He changed to a more comfortable position, and his eyes were attracted to the two female dancers twisting their waists in the center of the hall.

In addition to Liu Zhang who was sleeping in the hall, there were two people dressed as scribes.

At this time, someone came in from outside the hall, whispered a few words in the ear of a scribe and then left.

Before he could speak, Liu Zhang lazily spoke:

Why should Nanhe be like this? Sit down in a fortified city, eat sweet fruits, admire beautiful concubines, and be protected from cold and heat. What more can you ask for?

Zhang Yu, whose courtesy name is Nanhe, his expression unchanged, bowed long and said:

The Lord has humiliated his ministers and died. Although there are many people in Yizhou who live in peace and quiet, people have fair thoughts and are eagerly waiting for the Lord to regain control of Yizhou!

Liu Zhang didn't speak, his eyes just stared at the ring hanging on the waist of the female actress. It was said to be made of glass, its color was green, and the sound of hitting each other was clear and crisp. It danced like this...

Lord! Chang Yu's anxious voice interrupted Liu Zhang's thoughts.

So he could only ask perfunctorily:

But I heard that the capitals of Yizhou and Guizhou praised Uncle Liu. What does that say about people's hearts?

Zhang Yu knelt and took two steps forward and said eagerly:

How can we talk about the people's hearts among the people of Guizhou?

The Cun Yong family who are waiting eagerly for the generals, the same Lao Cuan family, the Qiang, Yan, and Chen families in Hanzhong, and the Liang family, Yin Pingxu, Qiu, and Tu families in Luocheng are popular among the people!

Seeing a hint of disappointment on Liu Zhang's face, he peeled off another fruit and dipped it in sucrose powder. Changyu's expression became even more eager and he took two steps forward.

Liu Zhang paused, but asked an irrelevant question:

When Liu Bei entered Chengdu, he asked you something. What did he ask?

Zhang Yu paused in his movements, but still said honestly:

Liu Bei knew that I was a good minister, so he invited me to meet Zhang Fei, his traitor general, and asked about his longevity.

Then what happened to Nan Hexiang? Liu Zhang was very interested.

The minister said that Ding You might lose his general, but Liu Bei laughed and asked the general to leave, not caring about his brother's disaster.

Ding Younian...Liu Zhang secretly calculated, that is, six years later?

Zhang Yu put aside such sad things. At that time, he thought that Liu Bei would definitely ask Zhang Fei carefully how he suffered the disaster, but he didn't expect that he would be so ruthless!

Therefore, he spoke again: Now that Jingxiang seems to be starting another war, Prime Minister Cao is going to march south. He should unite with the people of Yizhou to respond from afar...

Liu Zhang paused again, then thought carefully, nodded and said:

Then Nan He can go and do it, but now we have to work together secretly and wait for Duke Cao's troops to surround Jiangling and then look for a good opportunity to start trouble.

Zhang Yu was overjoyed, bowed down heavily, glanced contemptuously at the other scribe who looked like a clay sculpture next to him, and then strode away.

After Zhang Yu walked away, Liu Zhang said to Zhou Qun who was kneeling on the other side: Then I'll take a hard walk.

Zhou Qun nodded, remembered the last names in his mind, stood up and left quietly.

Liu Zhang was the only one left in the hall who sighed quietly:

Why have these people forgotten that my general is also named Liu?

Then he shouted to the female actress:

Wear two more rings of green glass around your waist, and call the two musicians to come over and dance together!

The sound of squeaking silk and bamboo sounded, faintly echoing the sound of the banging of the ring around the actress's waist.

On the giant wheeled ship that had just passed Jiangling, Zhao A was standing on the bow and looking at it curiously.

If there is no fighting while the boat is sailing, those who walk around at will and leave their posts without permission will be punished with five whips.

Zhao A was quite familiar with Cao Dian's back, so he seemed to be very curious about this new ship, but he could only crane his neck to take a closer look.

He finally left Zigui, carrying a jar full of coins, and went down the river to Jiangling City to surrender to General Guan.

Zigui is adjacent to the river, so Zhao A is naturally connected to water, so he signed up to join the navy without hesitation.

Of course, the navy's monthly salary is fifty more, which is why Zhao A made such a choice.

Although the life in the army is boring, he is very busy memorizing military training manuals, memorizing medical records, practicing boat maneuvers, and practicing gang jumping.

But Zhao Ale is among them. After all, it is much more interesting than farming, and there are many people who can talk to him.

Zhao Wu, stop being silly! Governor Zhao is coming on the deck! someone next to him reminded in a low voice.

Five people were in a team, so they were naturally ranked according to age. Zhao A was the youngest, so he was called Zhao Wu by his teammates.

Zhao A turned his head and looked around, only to see Commander Zhao Lei pointing forward with a young general next to him.

Zhao A looked intently and could vaguely see a city through the river fog.

After getting closer, a look of disappointment appeared on Zhao A's face: Is this Jiang Xia?

The city walls are a little shorter, the roads are a little narrower, there are fewer people, and the city is a little smaller.

Pao Ze next to him whispered: Jiangling City is one of the best in the world...Jiang Xia is already good enough.

Zhao Lei seemed to have no intention of coming here, so Zhao A simply continued the conversation in a low voice:

Then what are we doing here?

Take the road to Dangyang. Pao Ze was speechless:

Did you listen to what Captain Wu said? We'll build camp at Dangyang Pier and rest for a few days, then we're going to fight Cao's army!

Zhao A's heart was racing for a moment: Beat Cao's army.

He still remembered that it was Cao Jun who drove Li Gong all the way to Zigui, but it was a pity that Li Gong didn't know about it, which made Zhao A feel a little regretful.

But wait, Uncle Liu seems to have been driven over by Cao Jun?

Then do he and Li Gong still have to thank Cao Jun for sending Uncle Liu Huang?

Zhao A on the boat fell into strange troubles for a while.

Lu Su looked at the giant ship on the Jiangxia city wall.

Before the hurried messengers had time to report, they heard Lu Su calmly order:

Let it go.

So the messenger could only bow his hands and hurried back to convey Lu Su's order.

Bu Zhao, standing next to Lu Su, felt a little uneasy:

General, with such a large number of troops crossing the border, it seems that we should report it to our lord...

Lu Su had a look on his face and said simply:

The Lord already knows.

Bu Zhao stopped talking.

Shaoqing, Bu Zhi heard Lu Su take a deep breath and sighed:

What a warship.

Bu Zhao was slightly unconvinced:

How can we say it is a good warship without a water battle? And after we go north, we can use the navy to dominate the land forces. Even if we go into battle, we can still call it a good warship.

There was a hint of smile in Lu Su's words:

How does the replica of the water power plant in Zishan compare with the one in Gong'an County?

Bu Zhi was still ready to say something harsh, but when he raised his head and met Lu Su's calm eyes, he could only say in frustration:

Slightly worse.

I also heard people from Jiangling talking about engineering. Lu Su said slowly:

Nowadays, we use engineering to trial-produce warships. Even if we lose, we still win.

Bu Zhao was silent. Jiangdong people are most familiar with boats. Of course he understood what Lu Su meant.

However, thinking that Liu Bei, one of the princes who had fled from the north, had now reached the front of Jiangdong on the changing ship, this concession was a bit unacceptable to the emperor.

What was even more unacceptable was the way Jiangling merchants looked at him on weekdays. From looking up at him a few years ago, to a slightly careless look now.

The facts were difficult for him to accept, but it had only been two years...

Zishan go to An'gang to take care of things. Don't make any mistakes. Lu Su suddenly ordered.

Bu Zha also buried his thoughts, bowed to Lu Su, and left quickly.

When Bu Zhao was far away, Lu Su stretched out his fist from his sleeve. In the palm of his hand was an order from his lord:

He blamed Guan Yu for starting the war lightly, and ordered Lu Meng to lead 20,000 troops to Jiangxia to prepare for any eventuality.

This order was soaked with sweat from Lu Su's palms, and the ink stains were spread out and the original appearance was no longer visible.

Stretch out your hand and watch the order leave your palm, fly with the strong wind, and finally fall into the river.

Lu Su's heart was full of incomprehensible questions:

What could happen?

Why not go north to attack, echo each other, and achieve a great cause?
