Chapter 354 Sun Quan and Cao Pi, two swords combined

Han Dynasty, Wuchang County.

Cao Pi took a gold-rooted and bronze chariot and finally arrived at Wuchang County after several days of hard work.

The elite cavalry of the Forbidden Army who originally accompanied him to protect him were replaced by Shu soldiers armed with flintlock rifles when they entered Jingzhou. Only Sima Yi was left with him, and he was never so confident about Sima Yi.

Cao Pi was initially hesitant about Liu Bei's invitation (summon), but he couldn't bear the rotorcraft flying above his head every day. He used a loudspeaker to send him to Wuchang County, and said he would ensure that he was intact and would be there within a month.

Able to go back.

We've already reached this point. If he doesn't come to Wuchang again, he will really be a coward and the team won't be able to take him with him.

"King Wei, and Mr. Zhongda, we have arrived in Wuchang. Get off the car now. His Majesty has sent a car to pick you up."

Cao Pi was slightly angry when he heard the words of the young general who was leading the way outside. Since his power was overwhelming, no one had ever treated him so lightly.

"I am the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty, you should respect me as your Majesty!!!"

"Oh? There is only one emperor in the world, His Majesty the Han Dynasty. Do you want to rebel? His Majesty the King of Wei?"

"My throne is due to the abdication of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the world belongs to me! How can you rebel?"

Cao Pi was very stubborn, and Sima Yi, who was behind the car, hurried over to persuade him. Others made it clear that they didn't care about him, and even if it made a big fuss, it would just be a joke.

"Your Majesty, we are already here, just follow them.

General, please be more respectful, even if Emperor Zhang Wu is in front of our lord, he will not give up his arrogance like this."

"Forget it, Your Highness Wei, Mr. Sima, please come this way."

The young general took them to a strange big car. They said it was a car because they saw that it had wheels. If it had wheels, wouldn't it be a car?

Cao Pi took a closer look at the front of the car and found that it was actually transparent, but there was a barrier.

"Hiss, this car is actually made of iron? Zhongda, do you think that is colored glaze?"

"Your Majesty, please be restrained. We can't let the Shu Han people look down upon us. A few crystal flakes, the Wei Dynasty will be in need of them."

"Yes, yes!"

Cao Pi nodded repeatedly. Indeed, how could they be looked down upon? He was not an ignorant person.

But the two people were confused when they walked next to the truck. There were people sitting in the cab and passenger cab of the truck. It was obvious that they could only sit in the back of the truck.

But the carriage at the back had side rails, which together were as high as their heads. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing for him, an emperor, and Sima Yi, a minister, to climb onto the carriage?

"Your Highness Wei, Mr. Zhongda, please get in the car from the back. There is a ladder there."

Fortunately, the soldier in charge of responding to the situation spoke in time, so that the two of them stopped looking so dazed and walked to the back of the vehicle.

Sure enough, the rear railing of the car has been put down, and there is a wooden board leaning on the ground that you can walk up to.

On both sides of the truck were stools tied with plastic leather. After Cao Pi and Sima Yi sat on them together, the soldier who had just guided them sat firmly.

"Thank you for your help, little brother. I wonder what your surname is? Does he have any official position in the Han Dynasty? How much is his monthly salary?"

"My name is Hu Cai. I am currently the captain of the honor guard of the New First Army of the Han Dynasty. I am the honor guard trained by His Majesty to be responsible for picking up and sending off guests."

After listening to what he said, Cao Pi nodded. It turned out that he was an unknown and humble pawn, so he was not worth winning over.

I don’t know what Liu Bei is thinking. Why does the honor guard have to have men? Isn’t it good to have some beautiful women?

While thinking about it, Cao Pi suddenly felt a numbness in his buttocks, and then the car underneath him actually started to move.

Sima Yi turned his head and looked in the direction of the front of the car, only to find that there was no horse pulling the car at all. He shook his head at Cao Pi, with horror in their eyes.

Such a heavy iron cart could run without a horse. This reminded them that when they were in Xiangyang, they also encountered two-wheeled carts that ran very fast.

"His Royal Highness Wei, Mr. Sima, Your Majesty is still busy with state affairs today and has no time to receive you at the moment, so I will send you to the post station to rest and have a rest.

There, King Wu has also moved in. Your Majesty has specially decreed that your communication will not be restricted. At the same time, if you have any needs, you can call me through this thing."

Hu Cai said as he handed two fixed-signal walkie-talkies to Sima Yi and Cao Pi. The reason why he did not give them adjustable frequency radios was because they were too troublesome to teach.

Cao Pi took the walkie-talkie and looked at it curiously. It was a little strange that such a thing could allow him to contact these two people. Isn't this a joke?

"Hu Cai, you said this walkie-talkie can call you? How?"

"This walkie-talkie allows us to hear you at the push of a button even when I'm not around.

If you have any needs at the inn, you can tell them through the intercom, just like this."

Hu Cai rang with the walkie-talkie, and then said a few words. Suddenly, the walkie-talkie in Cao Pi's hand also rang.

In an instant, Cao Pi and Sima Yi felt a burst of electricity starting from the tail vertebrae and hitting Tianling Gai directly.

"How far can this thing carry a message?"

"have no idea."

Hu Cai shook his head. He had only used it for a short distance, so he could only say this, but in the eyes of Cao Pi and Sima Yi, it had a different meaning.

The distance of this thing can actually be broken to an unknown extent. With this kind of military artifact, the battle formation on the battlefield can change at will, which is terrible.

The truck entered through the city gate. Cao Pi, who was leaning against the railing, noticed that the clothes worn by the people along the road were all new. The children on the roadside also had candies in their hands and sang children's songs. There were no beggars filling the streets.

If there were only one or two, he would have thought they were some wealthy family in the city, but there were them all over the street, which made him doubt his life.

"Hu Cai, I wonder why your Wuchang County is so rich? The people are wearing new clothes. Do they have so much money?"

"Since entering Wuchang, His Majesty has spent a lot of money. Not only has he opened a state-owned supermarket in Dahan, he has also distributed ten catties of rice and one piece of coarse cloth to every citizen around Wuchang County. All children can go to the supermarket to collect it every two days.

candy."

"Hiss! Emperor Han actually had such financial resources?"

"That's not all. His Majesty is planning to issue ID cards to Yizhou and Jingzhou. Anyone who applies for an ID card and takes an image to register for a flight can get the same benefits."

Cao Pi was secretly stunned. This was just distributing rice cloth to the people of two states. If it were him, he wouldn't have the strength at all.

But thinking that Liu Bei had just returned to Jingzhou and wanted to win back the lost people's hearts, he understood. But understanding is one thing, and jealousy is another.

What really shocked Cao Pi was the moment he entered the inn. The inn was not far from the city gate, and it only took more than ten minutes to drive there.

The truck stopped in front of a gate surrounded by a barbed wire fence. Even the gate was made of iron. This kind of extravagance made Cao Pi feel gloomy, and Sima Yi's eyes on the side were full of inexplicable meaning.

Cao Pi tried hard to maintain his imperial majesty, but he felt that he could no longer hold himself any longer.

"Please follow me, you two. There are eight courtyards here. Your rooms are in the fifth and sixth rooms on the left. The second on the right is King Wu, and the third is Mr. Zhuge Jin. If you want to visit, you can

Ring their doorbell."

Prefab houses that are exactly the same as those in Royal New Village in the Ming Dynasty are also assembled here.

The sound of the truck's arrival also attracted the attention of the residents inside. In the prefabricated room area on the right, a door of suite No. 02 opened, and Sun Quan and Zhuge Jin walked out together.

Seeing Cao Pi and Sima Yi being led into the courtyard by Hu Cai, Sun Quan looked at their clothes and guessed Cao Pi's identity.

Cao Pi also met Sun Quan's eyes. When the two looked at each other, they almost asked the question in unison.

"Emperor Wei?"

"King Wu?"

"Oh, it's really Wei...The King of Wei is coming, and some are far away to welcome him, some are far away to greet him."

Hearing Sun Quan's words, Cao Pi's face twitched, but he tried not to fall out. He had seen through it all and wanted to destroy it.

"I didn't expect that King Wu has already arrived. Just now I heard Hu Cai say that the Han Emperor invited (summoned) you and me to come over. I was thinking about how to visit."

Sun Quan and Cao Pi, two of Liu Bei's defeated generals, joined hands and bowed to each other. Cao Pi lost his pride this time, and he also saw a kind of decadence in Sun Quan.

"Gu has been here for two days. He has been waiting for King Wei. His Majesty is too busy, so he will not summon us until we are all here."

"What! The King of Wu is loyal to the Han Dynasty, and his Majesty summoned him. He didn't even say welcome, but he couldn't even meet him? Wouldn't this be a slight to the King of Wu?"

"It's harmful, how can I talk about being arrogant?"

Sun Quan shook his head and didn't answer. Did Cao Pi think he was a three-year-old child? He could be dissatisfied with Liu Bei just by saying a few words?

He had a lot of dissatisfaction, but it was useless, and he had already been threatened by Liu Bei, and now his rear area was still in dire straits, so he didn't care whether Liu Bei would give him face.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, Mr. Ziyu, you guys want to talk first. Your Highness Wei, this is your key. Mr. Zhongda, this is yours."

Hu Cai saw that several people were very interested in chatting, so he didn't follow them. After handing over the keys, he wisely left.

"King Wei, I would like to introduce to you the layout here. See if His Majesty has neglected you."

"Oh? How can this inn be different? But these houses all use glazed windows. Could it be that Jingzhou discovered glazed mines?"

Sun Quan smiled and said nothing, and just led the way to his room.

"I was having wine and studying with Ziyu just now. Unexpectedly, I met King Wei coming over. Now I join King Wei again. It's really exciting. Please come inside."

"The pearl is so bright at night! It can actually cover up the sunlight outside the window."

Cao Pi pointed to the fluorescent lamp in the room and said, and then saw Sun Quan press the switch with a smile, and the fluorescent lamp went out.

"This thing is called an electric light. All the devices in it are powered by electricity. With electricity, you can enjoy a life you have never experienced before."

"What kind of magic is this? It can actually drive thunder and lightning!"

"It's not magic, it's physics. Ziyu and I were reading this physics book just now."
