Chapter 420(1/2)

Chen, Bazhou, Dongting Lake.

A huge "beast" is entrenched on the lake. This beast has five floors in total and is more than a hundred feet high!

There are six shooting poles on the left and right, each fifty feet high!

Each wooden comb is topped with a boulder and has a perch underneath. The other boats are wandering around it, like small snakes surrounding a giant dragon.

The whole body of the battleship is bright yellow, and the periphery of each floor adopts a structure similar to wall stacks. The front is flat, with a strange-shaped tiger carved on it, and there are rows of spikes on both sides, with carved edges.

Dragon beast.

The highest floor is similar to a high pavilion, offering a very far-reaching view.

Inside the battleship, sailors were running back and forth in dense numbers. At first glance, there were more than 300 sailors responsible for moving the battleship, and there were nearly a thousand sailors stationed in other places!

This battleship is called Zuokuang, and it is the largest and most powerful general battleship of the Chen Kingdom in Bazhou and Xiangzhou.

Hua Jiao was sitting in the pavilion on the highest floor of the Aura Crazy Battle Navigation. There was a wooden table in front of him with many delicacies on it, and he started to eat lightly.

Everyone under his command sat in front of him, divided into two rows.

Most of the people's faces were uneasy, and they kept looking at each other.

Hua Jiao was just the governor of Xiangzhou and the military commander of Xiangba. But now, together with the surrounding Yan,

Ying and other high-ranking officials in many areas began to be intimidated and threatened by him, and had to obey his orders.

As for why they listened to Hua Jiao's orders, you have to ask the more than two hundred Golden Wing-class warships surrounding the Kuang at the moment.

In the south, the water flow is extremely wide, and the cavalry cannot break away here. The battleships represent the strongest force here. Whoever has more warships and whoever has bigger battleships will count.

Hua Jiao looked at the people on the left and right, and most of them looked frightened.

Among these people, only a few such as Cao Qing, Qian Ming, Pan Zhiqian, Lu Xian, and Xi Huilue were his true confidants, while most of the others were just afraid of his force.

Hua Jiao's own identity makes it difficult to gather them together for his own use.

He has a powerful navy in his hands, but compared with Chen Guo's main fleet, it is still a little behind.

Chen Guo has eight five-pole, five-story building ships of the same level as the Aang Kuang. Although it is impossible to send them all to fight with him, as long as he sends three ships, it will be enough for him. Ordinary warships are in front of such a big ship.

, without the ability to fight back, he was directly beaten to death.

Hua Jiao was thinking about the current countermeasures in his mind.

The emperor sent someone over again, telling him that he had been too anxious before, and asked him to continue preparing for the golden-winged ship and not to be anxious.

Hua Jiao suddenly understood in his heart that the emperor was going to attack him.

He couldn't wait until the emperor made his move before taking action, he had to take action first!!

Hua Jiao put down the wine cup in his hand, his expression extremely solemn.

"Everyone."

"Emperor Wen was very kind to us. When he was seriously ill, he thought that the prince was young, so he passed the throne to Chen Xiang."

"I never thought that Chen, this person, could be so cruel. He first killed Emperor Wen's former ministers and then murdered the prince. Now, he is preparing to kill us."

"Such a king really doesn't care about our loyalty."

"I am going to send an envoy to the Liang State to request submission to the Liang State, defeat Chen Xiang and his army, and work together for the great cause of justice. What do you think?"

The Liang Kingdom that Hua Jiao is talking about is the Xiaoliang Kingdom that is now under the control of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It has few cities and little territory, and its diplomatic and military powers are all managed by the Zhou people. It is a small and unworthy country.

It sounds nice to say that you defected to the Liang Kingdom, but in fact, you just defected to the Zhou Dynasty.

At this moment, everyone was in an uproar and started talking.

Someone stood up quickly, his face turned red. That person pointed at Hua Jiao and cursed angrily: "Hua Jiao!

You were greatly favored by Emperor Wen back then! Emperor Wen gave up his throne to His Majesty in order to preserve the country.

Now you want to collude with Zhou people and sell out the country, but you keep saying it is for Emperor Wen? Are you a villain like you worthy of talking about righteousness?"

Hua Jiao's face turned livid, "Old man, what's the benefit of accepting that Chen Suo? How dare you be so presumptuous! Someone is here!"

Two guards rushed up, grabbed the minister, and dragged him aside. The minister was not afraid and continued to curse, until he was stabbed in the stomach and thrown out of the boat, and his voice disappeared.

Hua Jiao looked at the rest of the people, "The important thing now is mine, I have to follow it."

Cao Qing stood up in a hurry. This guy was short in stature but had a twinkle in his eyes. He was one of Hua Jiao's confidants. He said, "My lord is right. We are all ministers of Emperor Wen. No matter what,

, Chen Jing cannot accommodate us. The so-called battleships are just a reason. There is no war around at the moment, and everyone is recuperating. He suddenly issued an order urging us to pay for the battleships. Why is this? What does he do with the battleships? "

"This is his reason. Everyone, he is using the battleship as an excuse to murder us!"

After hearing Cao Qing's words, several ministers around him were thoughtful.

Cao Qing then looked at Hua Jiao and said, "But, my lord, do you want to think about defecting to Liang again?"

"oh?"

Hua Jiao did not feel that his confidant would oppose him, so he was not very angry and asked: "If you don't submit, then we have to stand up on our own. Except for Xiangba, can the officials and generals from other places submit to me?"

?』

Cao Qing laughed and said, "Lord, the issue now is not about obeying or not, but about finding a way for us."

"This Liang Kingdom is by no means a good place. The Zhou Kingdom seems to be strong, but in the north, even Chang'an cannot be defended. Now that I have defected to the Zhou Kingdom, I am afraid that I will be displaced again in the future."

.”

"Let's go to the Han!"

Cao Qing cleared his throat and said seriously: "Zhou Guo has been operating in the south for many years.

There are three five large ships, and they are still constantly being built. I do n’t know how much can be created in the future. As for the gold -wing ship, I predict at least 80 ships. "

"But the Han Kingdom is different. Although their cavalry is powerful, there is nothing to get the water army. I heard that Chen Guo's water troops killed near Gwangzhou all the way and plundered merchant ships.

"There is no one of the five -shot ship, that is, even the golden wing ship, I don’t know if they have any."

"Its water army is a small boat, which is not worth mentioning at all."

"If you can use these warships, these shipbuilding masters who bring Xiangba will go to the Han Kingdom all the way.

Cao Qing's words are full of worship of Han Wang.

Mainly this man is too fierce. Whether it is south or north, it is a winning streak. It is the first -ranking general.

It happened that people were also lacking in the water army. If they could send these things, he would not dare to imagine what kind of treatment of himself can enjoy in the Han Dynasty.

Sure enough, Cao Qing's proposal was immediately recognized by many people.

Yes, if you have to find a master for yourself, why not find a more powerful one?

Hua Jiao frowned, and he hesitated.

To be honest, Hua Jiao did not want to compete for Chen Guotian's thoughts. Even if it was, it was just a little bit. He now raised his soldiers more to protect himself, otherwise he would not go to foreign countries.

However, what is said to say is also reasonable.

The heroine of the Han king usually hear more.

He asked: "What Cao Jun said is good, but we are far away from the Han Kingdom, on the one hand, it is Zhou people,

On the one hand, the Liang people, on the other hand, the Chen people. Although the Han king is a hero, there is no sorting team to be available. We cannot come to support. How can we go to him? "

Cao Qing hurriedly said: "Lord, we can go to the river to Xiakou first, and then go to Beijiangshui to Beijiang Prefecture, and then walk valley water to Runan !! As long as we can reach the nearby Beijiang, the cavalry of the Han Dynasty can come to escort!

Runan is the territory of the Han Dynasty! "

He said, and was ready to draw a map, everyone attached great importance to it.

At this moment, someone said coldly: "Cao Jun is ready for the map."

Hua Jiao turned around, and the person who opened his mouth was another confidant.

Qian Ming looked at Cao Qing, and looked at Hua Jiao again, and said with emotion: "It is said that Cao Gong has always been loyal,

I used to do n’t believe it in the past, I really believe it now. "

Cao Qing's face changed, "What do you mean? Do you mean that I sell the protagonist?"

"No, no, I just think Cao Gong is very loyal !!"

Qian Ming looked at Hua Jiao and said very seriously: "I heard that General Cao was just a wild man who made a living by hunting in the countryside at first. Later he met Wang Lin, was promoted by him, and became his confidant general.

Wang Lin was defeated and ran to the north, whereupon General Cao was captured and followed the lord."

"I didn't expect that after so many years, General Cao still misses his old master."

"How are you going to defect to the Han Kingdom? Aren't you going to defect to Wang Lin?"

"My lord, when Wang Lin was making trouble in the south, you led the troops to join the crusade. Now Wang Lin is serving as a general under Dugu Qizhen's demon, and is one of the five tigers. If she falls into his hands,

Here, what will happen to us? Oh, by the way, nothing will happen to General Cao. After all, we are old acquaintances."

Cao Qing's face turned red and veins popped up on his forehead. He jumped up with a roar and knocked Qian Ming to the ground with just one move. Several generals around him hurriedly stepped forward and separated the two.

Qian Ming sat up, rubbed his swollen eyes, and looked at Cao Qing with a sneer, "As expected of a savage, but he is not polite. In front of the lord, he dares to do this...

"Enough!!"
