Liu Biao said: "Cao Shuo's warships are more powerful than the Wu Jun's warships that are invincible on the Yangtze River?"

Old Yan Yan blushed and explained: "The opponent's warship is several times larger than ours, and the warship is equipped with catapults and strong crossbows. The crossbow bolts are more than ten inches thick, three feet long, and have a range of three to four hundred steps. As long as it is hit by a crossbow arrow, the building and ship will immediately fall apart."

"hiss!"

Everyone gasped, this was too terrifying, usually they relied on bows and arrows most in water battles, first they shot indiscriminately, until they were almost killed, and then they fought in close combat.

But the attack range of Cao Shuo's big ship was beyond their imagination.

Cai Mao frowned and asked, "Isn't it because you misread it?"

Yan Jian replied: "If General Cai doesn't believe it, he can personally lead an army to Qingzhou to have a look!"

Cai Mao's head was full of black lines in an instant, my mother ran from Jingzhou to Qingzhou, I was sick.

Kuai Yue asked, "How many big ships does Cao Jun have?"

"Our army only saw five ships. According to my military adviser's guess, there should be no less than ten ships!"

"Ten ships?"

Liu Biao was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat. If this is the case, is the Yangtze River still safe?

Kuai Yue thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible to combine the strength of our two families to study warships, but if we want to compete with Cao Shuo, we may not be able to do it within three to five years."

Researching warships is not a matter of a day or two, and they don't know where Cao Shuo got the blueprints from.

Yi Ji reminded: "Earlier Liu Bei exchanged food and war horses from Cao Shuo, and traded them to Cao Shuo for many shipwrights. Could it be that they were just for researching warships?"

impossible!

How long has Liu Bei been here?

Even if they rush to work day and night, it is impossible to build such a huge warship in such a short period of time, let alone one or two ships.

Kuai Yue squinted his eyes and said, "Cao Shuo used these shipwrights, probably not shipbuilders. Maybe he deliberately called these boatwrights to Jizhou to prevent us from catching up with him."

Yan Jian agreed: "Our Lord Taiwei also means the same thing. Cao Shuo asked Tang Mao to recruit a group of shipwrights in Kuaiji County last year. Maybe these talents are the key to shipbuilding."

Liu Biao said: "The stability along the Yangtze River is due to the advantage of the navy. If we lose this advantage, Cao Shuo's army can come to the city at any time."

After discussing with the ministers, Liu Biao agreed to Sun Ce's suggestion to build a shipyard in the mulberry picking area of ​​Pengze Lake, named Jiangnan Shipyard, and the three companies jointly invested.

To pick mulberry is Liu Biao's Jiangxia in the northwest, and Yuan Shu's Lujiang in the southwest. The geographical location is very superior, and the water surface of Pengze Lake is extremely wide, which is not only good for hiding, but also for experimenting with warships at any time.

On the first day of June in 192, the construction of Jiangnan Shipyard was officially completed, and Sun Ce, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu came to inspect it in person.

Yuan Shu said: "As long as our warship can be researched, then Cao Shuo is nothing to worry about."

Liu Biao also said confidently: "Cao Shuo's big ship can accommodate 5000 people, so we will build a big ship with 1 people."

Zhou Yu's head was full of black lines. Do you want to be so floating? A big ship with a capacity of 1 people is flashy. If it is shot by the opponent's heavy crossbow, who can bear the loss.

Sun Ce smiled and said: "1 people is a bit too much. If I can have 7000 people, I will dare to lead an army to attack the hinterland of Qingxu."

"Report, Chen Lin from Zhen's Chamber of Commerce has come to the city of picking mulberry."

"what?"

Everyone looked horrified, their shipyard was very hidden, few generals in the army knew about it, did he come here to pick mulberries at this time for the shipyard?

Zhou Yu asked eagerly, "Did the other party say why and what happened?"

"The other party said it was about shipbuilding!"

"not good!"

Several people suddenly felt bad, when did this guy find out about their shipyard.

Murderous intent was evident in Sun Ce's eyes. If he was let go, would the navy of the real army come directly to him?
Seeing that Sun Ce had murderous intentions, Zhou Yu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, we'd better see each other."

After discussing with each other, they decided to meet Chen Lin. Of course, they would not go in person. It is enough for the family to send a representative for this matter.

Zhou Yu, Kuai Yue, and Yan Xiang were sitting in the hall, while Sun Ce, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu were listening to the conversation outside calmly behind the screen.

"Mr. Kong Zhang, what is the purpose of picking mulberries at this time?"

Chen Lin took a sip of tea and said, "Oh, your tea is really bad. Would you like to buy some tea from our Zhen's Chamber of Commerce?"

The faces of the three of them turned black, did you come here to disgust us?

Zhou Yu asked with a straight face, "We don't have time to drink tea."

Chen Lin said with a smile on her face: "But the civil servants and generals of our Wei State are all free to drink tea now."

"????"

Is this an outright threat?
They were working day and night on how to resist Cao Shuo, but Cao Shuo's people had nothing to do because they were recuperating.

That's the difference.

"We have blueprints for shipbuilding, are you interested?"

What drawings?
Not only Zhou Yu and the others were horrified, but the three kings sitting behind were also terrified.

Is Cao Shuo crazy? He even sells blueprints for shipbuilding. Could it be that he's drunk too much?

Who would sell his family fortune, after all, Cao Shuo has not settled down in this world.

Chen Lin took out a stack of thick papers from her sleeves, and the eyelids of the three of them jumped wildly in shock.

Is this still on him?Aren't you afraid that they will kill and rob?
