Cao Wu has been in this era for a long time, and he knows very well that this era is not like later generations, and the shipbuilding technology at this time is still very backward.
Sailing on the sea is a completely different concept from sailing on rivers and rivers. The offshore is better, but farther away from the shore, the wind and waves are different, and the replenishment of fresh water is also a big problem.
Now we are in troubled times again. Before, there were many princes all over the country. Who had the leisure to build sea ships?
Only Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, and Sun Quan had the ability to build large ships, and only Sun Quan had the time to build sea-going ships.
After hearing what You Song said, Cao Wu was already interested. It seemed that Jiangdong was ready to make a move and had not stopped moving. He also wanted to take advantage of the spring plowing period when the army could not go south to capture Jiaozhou first.
Before Cao Wu could ask, Zhuge Liang asked: "Can you confirm who the ship on the sea is?"
You Song shook his head.
Zhuge Liang asked again about the number of enemy ships and people. You Song also shook his head and said, "I only know that Governor Wu has transferred all the garrison troops from each county, but I don't know the enemy's situation."
Cao Wu nodded.
You Song took the initiative to vacate his mansion for Cao Wu to live in. Cao Wu said: "No need to bother like this, just find a place wherever you like."
You Song insisted that Cao Wu live in his mansion, and Cao Wucai agreed.
It is impossible for Cao Wu's army of more than 20,000 people to live in this small county town, so they can only camp temporarily outside the city. Cao Wu has female dependents here, and it is not feasible to live in the military camp every day. He needs a few rooms for Diao Chan and A Three and they stayed.
But Diao Chan insisted on staying with Cao Wu. Cao Wu also lived in the city. Cao Xiu led a hundred tiger and leopard cavalry to guard the city. Liu Xian, the son of Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling, thought that he was an elegant man and did not like to live in the city. The military camp also stayed in the city, and other generals led their own troops and were stationed outside the city.
In the evening, Cao Wu, Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun ate on the street together. The food in Lingnan was different from that in the north. Lu Xun was fine, but Zhuge Liang couldn't get used to such bland taste, but he was extremely well-educated and still ate hard. .
Cao Wu smiled and said: "Look at the time, Ah Ba will be here soon. She wrote a letter before and invited Lingling Jiang Gongyan. This man is not very talented, but he is a pillar. I will introduce him to you when the time comes."
Zhuge Liang was also considered a famous person in Jingzhou. After thinking hard, he didn't expect that there was such a person in Lingling, so he felt a little curious.
Seeing Lu Xun raise his head and glance at him, Zhuge Liang suddenly remembered the purpose of Cao Wu's words and said movedly: "Master, don't worry about me, I can live with only water and rice."
Cao Wuyang raised the bowl in his hand: "The Master said that you never tire of fine food and fine meat. This is the proper meaning."
Just as he was talking, Cao Wu felt a breeze blowing behind him, and Ah San, who was wearing white clothes, was already standing next to him.
"How about it?"
Cao Wu put down his bowl and asked.
"As expected by the general, there is something wrong with You Song. The city is very quiet and nothing seems strange. However, I found a secret entrance behind the county house. I didn't go down to investigate, but I can see that there are people coming and going frequently."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Let's sit down and eat."
Ah San hesitated and sat down. When he saw that there was a bowl of prepared food in front of him, it was made by Cao Wu. He blushed and took a bite. He felt that the taste was to his liking and couldn't help but eat more. He walked for a while and listened silently to Cao Wu and the others.
Lu Xun said: "My lord understands people's hearts best, but I didn't notice anything unusual about You Song before. It turns out that while he agreed on the surface, he was having some tricks on the inside."
Cao Wu smiled and said: "Cangwu is far away from the Central Plains, and it is difficult for the army to attack. Wu Ju separated his territory here and became the local emperor with only one county. He did not listen to anyone's orders. The north was his biggest problem. Even if the situation was critical, he would not Everyone should not be transferred back to Guangxin, it is unreasonable."
Zhuge Liang said: "Exactly, but no matter how many troops he has, they only have a few thousand men, so it is not easy to defend the city. Now he takes the initiative to open the city and invites the lord to stay. I am afraid that the purpose of the attack is to capture the thieves and the king. Knowing that the lord is a group of people The leader of the group wants to plot evil."
Cao Wu glanced at Ah San, whose eyes lit up after taking a bite of pig's feet, and then she hid her emotions.
He then looked at Cao Xiu in the distance. There were only a hundred Tiger and Leopard Cavalrymen in the city, but they still kept their armor on and stood guard.
There are several people around Cao Xiu who look similar to ordinary tiger and leopard cavalry at first glance, but if an expert thinks carefully, they can find that they are obviously different from ordinary cavalry.
"It's a pity that he made a wrong calculation. This Fuchuan City is destined to no longer belong to Wu Ju."
That night, after learning that You Song had other plans, Diao Chan bit her lip and was too nervous to sleep, but Cao Wu was not worried and slept peacefully after Yun Yu.
In the middle of the night, Diao Chan woke him up and said, "It's windy outside, and there seems to be a cry of death."
Cao Wu sat up without any surprise, grabbed Diao Chan's hand and said, "Don't worry, just wait."
At the same moment, Fuchuan garrison captain Lu Ke suddenly appeared in the county house with more than a thousand people, and then took advantage of the darkness and went straight to Cao Wuxi's Yousong mansion.
More than a thousand people dressed in black marched in silence.
Yousong's mansion is the largest place in the county. It had been cleared before, and more than a thousand people were walking on the street, which was cold and solemn.
Lu Ke was very confident. He heard from You Song that Cao Wu only had more than a hundred people in the house, and he was ten times more powerful than the enemy. Moreover, he was calculating mentally but not deliberately, so he could definitely win no matter what.
He was originally from Nanjun. Due to the war there, he lived in seclusion in Cangwu. He had long wanted to counterattack Jingzhou, but Wu Ju was not strong enough and could not make it.
Now I heard that a general under thirty was able to lead more than 20,000 troops to attack Fuchuan. I heard that he was able to lead the army because he was Cao Cao's brother. Lu Ke was despised, so he hatched this plan and decided to capture the thief and the king, and use Cao Wulai to order Cao's army to retreat, which would be a great contribution to Cang Wu.
Dark clouds covered the moonlight. You Song stood on the highest turret in the county. Looking at the situation here, he, like Lu Ke, thought that if he used the secret passage to send out more than a thousand people, Cao Wubai would definitely not be able to resist it. The only difference was that Can we catch Cao Wu alive?
Thinking of the way Cao Wu was young and the generals looked up to him in the daytime, You Song felt itchy with hatred, wishing he could kill Cao Wu and lead the army himself.
"The yellow-haired boy, relying on his elder brother's concealment, is actually able to lead the army. After today, the name of Beifu General will be cast into a shadow!"
You Song waved confidently.
Lu Ke looked up and saw You Song's gesture. Knowing that there was no danger on the road ahead, he waved down.
The more than a thousand people who quietly approached the mansion no longer concealed their actions and moved forward quickly.
At this moment, there was only a "bang" sound, and the door of the mansion suddenly opened.
A figure was thrown out from the door.
Lu Ke took a closer look and immediately recognized that this was the housekeeper of Yousong's mansion, who stayed in the mansion today to provide support.
He was startled, and looked inside the door again. It was dark. Before he could see clearly, an arrow shot through the door with a "whoosh" sound.
At the same time, the sound of killing was loud, and fifty cavalrymen on each side suddenly appeared from both ends of the street, heading towards their thousand infantry.
