"My dear, is this Luoyang City?"

When Dian Wei saw the Luoyang City in front of him, he was stunned. It was much more magnificent than before, at least ten times bigger.

However, this city wall is only one foot high, what can it stop?
But looking at the thickness of the city wall, it is at least twenty feet, and it is no problem to run a horse and carriage on it.

When will this be built?Where can I get these dirt and stones?

Cao Cao looked at the foundation of Luoyang City in front of him and asked, "What is my son planning to build?"

He had never seen such a huge city before, and how much manpower and material resources it would cost.

Why are these soldiers going to build the city wall? Don't they need to fight?These are farmer's jobs, you're just messing around.

That's right, just messing around.

Cao Song exclaimed: "Son, is this city wall used to defend against heavenly soldiers and generals?"

Cao Shuo smiled and said, "It's nothing. You'll be the only ones to sigh when it's finished. It's just the foundation. The inside and outside of the city wall will need to be strengthened. I predict that it will be thirty feet wide, ten feet high, and twelve gates." Made of pure iron."

"Twelve gates?"

Cao Cao's eyes widened. He dared to think about it. He was worthy of being the son-in-law of the Zhen family. "What is my son doing with all this money?"

"You think it was built with my money? I just paid for the construction of my own palace, and the rest were donated by Jizhou's civil and military officials and wealthy merchant clans."

"My grass..."

"Who can attack this?"

Cao Shuo said angrily: "If they can attack Luoyang City, then I don't have to live!"

Cao Shuo's generals were dissatisfied and said, "There will never be any enemy troops within two hundred miles of Luoyang."

"The soldiers of Qingxu Erzhou are not fit enough, let them start tomorrow to help build the city wall."

"No!"

Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "Where is our Cao family's residence?"

Cao Shuo explained: "The mansions of all the ministers are built in a unified way, and private construction is not allowed!"

The drawings are drawn by him by famous craftsmen, and the limited space must be planned in advance.
"How big is it?"

Cao Cao was afraid that his Cao Mansion only had one house, and he might still be able to squeeze together with Mrs. Cao.

"The size of the house is determined according to the salary."

When everyone walked into the city, they found another scene inside. Most of the houses had already been built, and on the plaques in front of the doors, there was someone's home written on them.

Cao Shuo called the guides who had prepared in advance, and said, "Guide the way for the adults and take them to your mansion."

"No!"

After giving all the orders, Cao Shuo led hundreds of carriages to the palace.

In the early morning of the next day, all the officials, civil and military, looked sleepy.

"The dukes are very tired. Let's make a long story short today, and there is no military situation. If not, you can rest for five days."

The ministers were planning to leave, but a guard ran in unexpectedly.

"Report, General Zhao Yun, please see me!"

"Xuan!"

"Xuan Zhao Yun sees you!"

After a while, Zhao Yun in armor came in, glanced at the adults, and said: "Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo suddenly sent an army to attack Hedong County, and General Gao Shun asked for help!"

Gao Shun is the only general in Hedong County, and he has to guard against Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, which is indeed hard enough.

"Huh?" Cao Shuo looked surprised, Dong Zhuo dared to cause trouble?

Do you think that your soldiers have not recovered and cannot fight?
Cao Shuo's face turned cold, and he said, "Pang De, Gongsun Zan, you two will replace Zilong to take over the defense of Hongnong County."

"No!"

"Tian Yu, Yan Rou, Zou Dan, and Yan Gang, the four of you led [-] Xuanjia troops to support Gao Shun."

"promise!"

In the city of Xiangyang, Liu Biao heard that Cao Cao had defected to Cao Shuo, so he hurriedly summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

"Cao Cao and Cao Shuo merged, and Cao Shuo captured Qingzhou and occupied the four counties of Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Sili. Are we going to withdraw Liu Pan's army?"

Kuai Yue said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu Pan has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Yuzhou. Cao Cao's army has been retreating one after another. The capture of Yuzhou is just around the corner. Withdrawing troops at this time may damage morale."

Han Song said: "Your Majesty, although Cao Shuo has a strong army, his soldiers have been exhausted after successive battles against Liaodong, Xianbei, and Pingqingzhou. After training, our army will not have any chance."

Cai Hao said: "Your Majesty, in order to contain Cao's army, our army mobilizes the masses. It is indeed inappropriate to withdraw at this time."

Cai Hao thought to himself, Cao Shuo took over Cao Cao's territory, and would definitely send a general to Runan to command the battle. Then Liu Pan was definitely not an opponent. It would be better if he could die in Runan, so as to clear away a hidden danger for his nephew Liu Cong.

Liu Biao was very worried. He hadn't seen anyone who could take the initiative to attack Cao Shuo and still win him over.

"Report to Your Majesty, Sun Ce's envoy is asking for an audience."

Liu Biao narrowed his eyes. What are they doing in Jingzhou at this time? Could it be that they lost the battle in Qingzhou and want to unite themselves to send troops here?

"Let him in!"

Yan Qian walked into the hall, Liu Biao asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to discuss with His Majesty and study the matter of the warship!"

"Oh?"

Cai Mao narrowed his eyes, and Sun Ce claimed to be invincible in water battles, but he was tortured to pieces in Qingzhou. He didn't expect that they would still want to drag them in now.

Yan Jian said seriously: "Suddenly many warships that we have never seen before appeared in Cao Shuo's army, as well as some special weapons. We have to be on guard, otherwise, when Cao Shuo's navy sails into the Yangtze River, it will be regarded as gathering us. The strength of the three families cannot stop their warships."

Cai Mao sneered and said, "Your Soochow navy is incompetent, don't get involved with us."
