Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial master behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

In fact, this so-called dragon boat was a warship that Cao Yuan obtained more than a month ago by supervising the warships and using system enhancements.

Fifty walking boats directly increase the number of fifty Zheng He treasure ships!

Zheng He's treasure ship was the pinnacle of warships in later generations, so it was the most powerful warship in history.

Of course, Cao Yuan couldn't match the original name, so he gave the Zheng He treasure ship a domineering name of"Dragon Boat"

"A year ago, I expected that the king would march south to Jingzhou, and warships would definitely be used."

"So I built a boathouse in a hidden place in Huoshui and built fifty dragon boats of this kind for the king."

"This boat is forty-three feet long and fifteen feet wide. It has five floors, nine masts and fifteen sails, and can carry a thousand people."

"My fifty dragon boats are enough to equal the Han army's five hundred warships!"

"Your Majesty, with this dragon boat, are you still afraid that you will not be able to defeat the Han River?"

Cao Yuan made up a perfect cover to explain the origin of the dragon boat.

Cao Cao looked at the huge ship and listened to Cao Yuan's explanation. His expression was shocked and amazed, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Cheng Yu and others were following him. The advisors and generals all looked shocked and lost their minds.

After a long time,

Cheng Yu was the first to come to his senses and asked in surprise:"A year ago, our army was still fighting Yuan Shao across Guandu, but Ziyou's military advisor had actually calculated that the king Will they march south to conquer Jingzhou and march to the Han River?"

Cao Yuan was startled and realized that this time seemed to be a little too advanced.

But the words had already been spoken and he couldn't take them back, so he had to laugh.

Cao Cao and Cheng Yu looked at each other, and both the emperor and the minister took a breath. gas

"A year ago, it was still unclear who would win the battle of Guandu!"

"He is actually preparing for my southern expedition to Jingzhou. Yuan'er's calculations are no longer magical, he can predict the future!"

Cao Cao looked at his son, and the wonder in his heart could not be greater.

Then,

Cao Cao suddenly realized something and asked urgently:"Ziyou, this dragon boat is rare in ancient and modern times. How did you build it?"

"Is this a dragon boat?...."

Cao Yuan took a sip of wine and casually made up:"That is to say, I thought of building a ship at that time, so I studied the art of shipbuilding. After thinking about it for a while, I built this dragon boat."

Self-taught!

With just a little thought, can you build the most powerful warship in ancient and modern times?

Cao Cao took another breath, looked at Cao Yuan in disbelief, and was shocked again.

Cao Yuan coughed a few times and said with a smile:"Your Majesty, there are fifty dragon boats in total. If Your Majesty thinks they are of great use, I will ask them to transfer all the remaining dragon boats to the Han River. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Cao Cao said. Wake up from the shock and suddenly fall into ecstasy

"Okay, if I have a son to swim on your dragon boat, our army will have a warship. Why worry about not being able to cross the Han River!"

"Ziyou, what are you waiting for? Bring all the dragon boats to me!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed. He was so excited that he completely lost the dignity of the King of Wei.

"I obey."

Cao Yuan accepted the promise with his hand.

Cao Cao pulled Cao Yuan and laughed and said:"Ziyou, let's go to the big tent. I want to have a few drinks with you. You can explain to me carefully. How are dragon boats made?……"

Cao Cao refused to argue, so he took his son away.

Huang Yueying stood there, dumbfounded, looking at the dragon boat sailing into Shuiying.

It wasn't until Cao Yuan left that she finally came back to her senses

"A year ago, he predicted that Cao Cao would conquer Xuzhou south and built warships in advance!"

"Moreover, he is a counselor who actually knows the art of shipbuilding and can build such a divine ship!"

"How could Kong Ming be his opponent for such an extraordinary person? No wonder he was defeated repeatedly in his hands."

"I was kidnapped here. My Huang family cannot marry with the Zhuge family. It may not be a bad thing....."

Huang Yueying looked at Cao Yuan's back, feeling shocked in her heart.

Quietly, a hint of secret joy flashed through her heart

……

On the south bank of the Han River, there is the water camp of the Han army.

Inside the Chinese military tent

"The mighty little overlord, with 60,000 soldiers, couldn't even take down a small city of Hefei!"

"This Sun Ce is nothing more than that."

Liu Bei looked at the secret report from Jiangdong, with a look of contempt between his eyebrows.

"If Sun Ce could conquer Hefei and threaten Shouchun, he could force Cao's thieves to retreat early. Unfortunately, Sun Ce's expression was indeed disappointing."

Zhuge Liang also shook his feather fan and sighed.

The conversation changed.

Zhuge Liang said calmly:"But the Cao thief has no ships. Even if Sun Ce can't make any progress in Hefei, the Cao thief will have to retreat sooner or later. It's just a matter of time."

"What the military advisor said makes sense."

Liu Bei nodded slightly, and the clouds on his face gradually dissipated.

At this moment,

Wenpin hurried in and said in a deep voice:"Your Majesty, Cao Cao's warship has entered the Han River from the Confusing River and arrived at the Fancheng Water Camp.!"

Cao Cao's warship?

" Liu Bei immediately became alert and asked,"Why did Cao Cao suddenly have a warship?" Zhuge

Liang sneered and comforted him, saying:"Don't worry, my king. It's just Cao Cao's thieves diverting some running boats from the confusion water. There's nothing to be afraid of.""

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

Wenpin said solemnly:"The military advisor is wrong. The warships of the Wei army are not small boats. They are all huge ships, which are far better than our warships!"

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's expressions changed immediately, and shock flashed in their eyes.

Cao Cao not only had a warship, but it was also a huge warship.

It was even bigger than the warships of their Han army!

How is this possible!

"Your Majesty, go and have a look, you will know at a glance! Wenpin urged.

Liu Bei didn't have time to think too much, jumped up and ran straight to the shore.

An unknown thought also passed through Zhuge Liang's mind, so he had to suppress his suspicion and hurriedly followed.

Liu Bei and his party hurried to the river..

And tens of thousands of Han troops were already crowded on the riverside, pointing towards the other side, talking in panic.

Liu Bei climbed up to the watchtower, raised his eyes and looked north, and instantly took a breath of cold air.

The water camp of the Wei army on the north bank was indeed There are dozens of warships approaching slowly.

Although there are only more than fifty warships, they are extremely large in scale. Their width and length are more than three times the largest ship in the world. It is indeed a giant that lives up to its name. Ship!

"How could Thief Cao have such a big ship?"

"This is impossible, this doesn’t make sense!"

Liu Bei's gray face changed in shock, as if he had seen a ghost, and he looked at Zhuge Liang anxiously.

Zhuge Liang also looked surprised, and said in shock:"Even if Cao Cao made plans in advance and built warships, it is impossible to build such a giant ship. This really doesn't make sense!"

Even Zhuge Liang couldn't explain it.

The Han army advisers and generals on the left and right were all shocked and stunned.

Just when Liu Bei and his ministers were surprised and confused, a sentinel ship came from the north bank.

Yi Ji rushed over and raised his hands and said:"Your Majesty. , our detailed work in Wei Camp sent back a secret report, it was Cao Yuan who secretly built fifty dragon boats for Cao Cao a year ago, and they just arrived at Wei Camp today!"

Cao Yuan!

Those fifty gigantic ships were actually built by Cao Yuan!

Liu Bei's color changed in shock, and he froze in place for a moment, his face froze into a state of shock.

Zhuge Liang's body shook, and the feather fan in his hand actually dropped. fall off.
