    The long nights were filled with unintentional sleep.

    Originally, I really wanted to see King Wei's majesty, but then I felt that it was not a good idea to go see him rashly before I deceived Biyue, so I suppressed this thought for the time being.

    But after sleeping all day and having nothing to do at night, I had no choice but to set my sights on another more important place to kill time - visiting the Prince's Mansion, which was about to be expanded.

    After summoning Tie Muyun and two guards, they quietly slipped out of the palace and arrived in front of the newly expanded mansion in less than a quarter of an hour.

    With high walls, gates, and cornices, the Prince's Mansion that my father built for me not only looks gorgeous, but also covers a vast area. It is far more spacious and magnificent than the Yiyu Palace where I lived before.

    But I won¡¯t be grateful to him. The Prince¡¯s Palace said this is a consolation prize for me, but it will still be passed down from generation to generation in the future. I only have the right to use it, not ownership. It is a typical leader¡¯s face-saving project

    After entering the mansion in a very low-key manner, I soon made an unexpected discovery.

    With the sound of ding-ding-dong-dong, I saw for the first time what a skilled craftsman is - because the construction schedule given by my father was too tight, in addition to the royal craftsmen, many of the construction workers in the Prince's Mansion were recruited from various places.  Good job. They are currently working through the night to do the final carvings and decorations for the houses that have been built in the Prince's Mansion.

    And what I discovered was a group of magical carpenters

    Don¡¯t think that carpentry is easy. If you really want to achieve a high level, it¡¯s not just about craftsmanship, but IQ and awareness are also necessary!  The craftsmen in front of me who are working on the Prince's Mansion at least have the title of senior engineer.

    "Mu Yun! When you go back later, you go tell the Ministry of Household Affairs and ask them to wait for the completion of the Prince's Mansion and leave thirty of the most capable craftsmen half of them will be carpenters, and the rest will be reserved for those who have the skills.  A man of finesse and ability." I picked up a complex and exquisite mahogany carving and looked at it for a while, then I gave a decisive order.

    ¡°Why do you want carpentry, young master?¡± Tie Muyun glanced at me suspiciously.

    "Hey, make things good! By the way, let's leave this matter to Eunuch Hou. Just say hello to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Not only must they be capable, but they must also have a clean background. When the time comes, they must stay in the Prince's Mansion directly.  Let them live in Baiqiaofang at the back!" I ordered with a smile and a weird expression.

    Baiqiaofang is a courtyard that I told Eunuch Hou to help me build in the Prince's Mansion. It is promoted to the outside world as a "play", but in fact, it is used for experiments that I have long wanted to test.  Those different time and space technologies - of course, it is definitely not realistic to develop guns and artillery in a short period of time, but if you modify some ready-made things, they will definitely be of great use!

    For example, enlarging those crossbows and installing them on warships will definitely subvert the current water warfare model of bow and arrow shooting and boarding ships to kill; there are also some good things suitable for setting fire to demolishing houses. Once I tinker with them,  They will surely shock the world in the near future

    I walked around the Prince's Mansion for more than an hour, and after I had a rough idea of ??the buildings in my mind, I went back to the palace.

    However, upon entering Yiyu Hall, I found an uninvited guest!

    "Second brother!" As soon as a man saw me entering the house, he rushed towards me and hugged me

    "Third brother, why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come to see me before the time comes?" I reached out and patted Asan on the shoulder. I couldn't laugh or cry.

    ¡°Second brother, don¡¯t worry, I came here secretly, no one will notice.¡± Ah San let me go with tears in her eyes and sniffed in reply.

    ¡°This kid is not young yet. I didn¡¯t expect him to be so sentimental

    "Hey, are you here to ask me about my experience in the past few months?" I asked with a smile while pulling him to sit down.

    "That's right! Second brother has done some big things this time. Third brother, I heard the news from Beimu in Yuezhou. I was very excited. I have long wanted to come and listen to what second brother has to say."  San's face was filled with longing.

    "Hey, look at you, you are so old, yet you still act like a child! If others know that you came to my place to listen to stories in the middle of the night, all our efforts a while ago will be in vain." I sighed and pretended  dissatisfied.

    "Don't worry, second brother, I have to be careful. No one will see through that matter. Apart from me and the teacher, only a few people around my father know about our plan. And to be honest, there is no one at Bei Mu now."  If the war starts, how can Daduan have the heart to come to Nanle to cause trouble" Ah San shook his head indifferently, as if he wasn't too interested in the 'acting' plan I had originally set.

    "Nonsense! You must neverDon't take it lightly, this Daduan not only wants to take over Nanle, but also wants to take over Xiaoguo as well.  "Seeing that he didn't care, I immediately criticized him in a deep voice.

    "Ah? How do you say this?" Ah San was startled.

    "Well, since you are here, I will tell you about this matter, and then I will leave it to you to convey it to Marquis Kunlan. But remember, this matter must not be known to a third party!"

    "understand!"

    Seeing the suspicious look on Ah San's face, I gathered my thoughts and told him what happened in Xiaoguo in the past two months. As soon as this kid heard that Daduan was at war with Beimu, he wanted to  He was immediately furious at the idea of ??using Liulan Island as a bait to attack Nan Le. Then when he heard that I was going to take advantage of the plan and take the risk to capture Liulan Island, he was stunned again, but he quickly put forward his own opinion.

    "Since the second brother wants to use his plan, what if we can't win the battle quickly and the Daduan West Road navy takes advantage of it? Why don't you let me go to Xihaijian to secretly form a navy. Even if it can't stop the enemy, at least it can  Delay for a while and buy some time for the east road!" Ah San frowned and stared at me, suggesting with excitement.

    When I heard his suggestion, my heart immediately lit up. I had originally planned to ask Jun Xingjian to go to the western coast and secretly form a small naval force. I didn't expect that he would have thought of this before I opened my mouth and actually proposed it on his own initiative.  I'm going to do it. It seems that this kid has really improved a lot after reading the obscene version of "Thirty-Six Stratagems" I wrote.

    "It's not impossible for you to go and do it! But you have to know that when the war breaks out, the most dangerous thing will not be Liulan, but Xihai! Because no matter what, if Daduan finds something wrong, he will definitely send the Miguo Navy  Go south, and our strength in the southwest is too weak" I said in a deep voice, holding Asan's shoulders with a solemn expression.

    "Hehe! Second brother, don't look down on others! Although third brother has never been on the battlefield, but with the guidance of the magic book you gave him, as long as he doesn't fight the enemy head-on, he will have no problem dragging them out for a few months.  !" Ah San scratched his head and smiled, quite confident.

    "You are still so confident? Then tell me, if we give you 20,000 sailors and five times the number of enemies to fight, what are you going to do?" Seeing this kid gearing up, I asked with a wry smile.

    "This is easy to handle! Since we are guarding against their landing, Daduan's southwest route navy must have a large amount of food, grass, baggage and soldiers to transport. Although the navy they recruited from Miguo is said to be one hundred thousand, it will definitely have to be freed up by then.  More than half of the ships are used to carry these things, so the navy that can fight by then will only be 50,000 at most"

    "Never underestimate the enemy!"

    "Hey, second brother, I am not underestimating the enemy! If Daduan wants to transport troops to land, they must be cavalry, definitely not infantry! Because although our rear in Nanle is weakly defended, no matter how fast the infantry can run ashore,  It is absolutely impossible to form a thunderous force. If our naval forces from Nanle turn around from Liulan Island to block their maritime transportation lines, and then mobilize troops from various places to encircle and suppress them, the infantrymen who have landed in Daduan will lose their food and grass support.  The elite will eventually be annihilated by Nan Le! So I said that they have 100,000 people going south, and at most only 50,000 are naval troops, because at least half of the ships must be freed up to transport cavalry"

    "This is indeed true, so how do you plan to respond?"

    "Hehe! This is easy to do. Let's use all speed boats to harass their transport ships! Drag them on the sea and let them circle around every day!"

    "Easier said than done."

    "Second brother, don't mention it. As long as we don't fight head-on and just harass, it's that easy."

    "how do I say this?"

    "Look, when Daduan conquers the world, he will look at their cavalry! And they are also heavily armored! When the time comes, he will go south by sea. Even the horses, heavy armor, and food and grass, the weight of a knight is worth seven or eight  Infantry! And if they want to land in our Nanle, they must have at least 20,000 cavalry to form a combat force, otherwise the small number will be in vain!" Ah San began to analyze seriously.

    "That makes sense!" I nodded.

    "So if those empty ships vacated by the navy are to be transported, they will definitely be filled to the brim! Second brother, didn't the book you gave me say that soldiers need to be quick? Hey, they have to ensure that they have enough navy to escort them.  , and they have to transport at least 20,000 cavalry and horses, food and fodder. How can these transport ships be so fast? They can barely crawl like a turtle!" Asan said more and more enthusiastically.

    "The turtle is not that easy to beat." I glanced at him sideways and reminded him not to be too confident.

    "No need to fight! Then I will use small speedboats, covered with cowhide to protect against bows and arrows, change the twenty oars into forty oars, and throw kerosene bottles at their troop ships! Anyway, there is only one thing on the sea.  The boat is nimble and fast enough, so escaping is definitely not a problemThe question is, when their escort ships have to turn around to rescue the transport ship, the fleet will definitely be in chaos. It will take at least a few hours to re-arrange the formation. Then I will use the clipper to make a surprise attack to ensure that they cannot move even an inch!  "Ah San looked into my eyes and added with a smile.

    "It sounds very reasonablebut" Seeing that he said it clearly, I couldn't help but nod, and then shook my head.

    "But what?" Seeing me shaking my head, Ah San was a little nervous, afraid that I would think what he said was unreasonable and not support him in going to the West Sea.

    "But I don't understand water fighting either" I scratched my head and replied with a smile.

    With a pop, Ah San almost fell to the ground!

    He spoke seriously for a long time. Unexpectedly, I, the audience, could not understand what he said at the last moment, and I immediately became depressed.

    "Hehe! Although I don't understand, there are people who do! Jun Xingjian and his son from Shuanghe Water Army are from a family of water war." I added with a smile.

    "After talking for a long time, it turns out that the second brother has already chosen someoneHey, you still can't believe me!" Ah San was very disappointed.

    "That's not what I mean. Since you want to go to the battlefield to exercise, I will never stop you! What I, Nan Le, lack is a famous general who can lead the army in battle. Although the Marquis of Kunlan is still alive, but relying on him alone, when the time comes,  Shenzhou Fenghuo will definitely be tired of dealing with it. Since you, third brother, are his disciples, you should inherit his mantle But do you know, as a general, what is the most important thing?" With a serious expression, I stared at Asan's face.  Eyes asked.

    "As a general, I naturally take the lead" Ah San answered without thinking.

    "Fart! As a general, the most important thing is to consider how to survive!" I rolled my eyes and cursed casually.

    "What?" Ah San was shocked
