Cao Cao stood on the bow of the ship with some difficulty, enduring dizziness, squinting, looking into the distance, since the beginning of the voyage, he rarely appeared in the bow of the ship, most of the time was resting in the cabin, and there was a doctor by his side to serve, after a long time, the discomfort in Cao Cao's heart was gradually reduced, at this time, suddenly a soldier came to report, found the island.

Cao Cao has never missed the land so much, he couldn't wait to rush to the bow of the ship, but he didn't see any shadow of the land, but the soldiers on the lookout were very sure, the island was not far away, just like that, Cao Cao struggled for nearly half an hour before he saw the outline of the island, at this time, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

He laughed: "Ziyi, today I know the truth of the earth!" ”

Tai Shi Ci smiled reluctantly, and did not answer, since he went to sea, there was no joy on his face, Cao Cao was puzzled, logically speaking, this fierce general, should not be afraid of water, and he is also a good hand at training the navy, why after going to sea, his face is always extremely worried, he doesn't know, it is because he went to sea with Zhang Jiao in the past and endured all the hardships that Tai Shi Ci has a deep fear of the sea.

Cao Cao saw that Tai Shici did not speak, so he did not speak again.

The boat docked, Cao Cao and the soldiers were the first to get off the boat, walking on the land, taking a deep breath, Cao Cao only felt so comfortable, he looked at Tai Shici who was ordering the soldiers a little casually, and shouted: "Ziyi! ”

"Cao Gong!"

"Come, come with me, the soldiers are tired, let him rest for a while..."

"Sincerely." Tai Shi Ci commanded Jun Sima a few more words, then walked to Cao Cao's side, strolling with Cao Cao, Cao Cao walked for a while, only felt that the shoes were a little uncomfortable, so he took off the shoes directly, threw them aside, and walked barefoot, Tai Shi Ci was taken aback, looked at Cao Cao in some surprise, Cao Cao smiled and said: "It's so comfortable... Why don't you give it a try? ”

"Don't dare to be rude!"

"Hahaha, such overseas islands, what kind of etiquette do you talk about, you and I are not so sour and rotten, come, take off, take off!" Cao Cao said impatiently, Tai Shici hesitated for a moment, took off his shoes, and the two walked barefoot on the beach, Cao Cao smiled and asked, "General Ziyi, but you feel a lot better?" ”

Tai Shi Ci was not as restrained as before, smiled, and said, "That's true. ”

Cao Cao asked a little casually: "Does General Ziyi know about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom?" ”

"Wakoku??" Tai Shi Ci asked with some confusion.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "It's one of these Yi countries..."

"Isn't there still a lot of Yi country in this country, how can you know about it?" Tai Shi Ci was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that even the Benhan people, who have been fighting with the Yi country for a long time, don't know the situation there, how did Cao Cao know about the country there?

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Emperor Xiaoguangwu, in the second year of the Jianwu Middle Dynasty, the Japanese slave country sent an envoy to Luoyang, and the Son of Heaven gave him a golden seal... It is said that they learned about the situation of the Han Dynasty from Benhan, so they landed from Lelang County, escorted all the way by officials, and arrived in Luoyang, after that, there was no news of this country, and in the first year of Emperor Yongchu of Xiao'an, the Wa Kingdom sent envoys again to offer slaves...."

Tai Shici listened carefully, and Cao Cao said again: "It is said that there are hundreds of Yi countries, and the Japanese slave country is slightly stronger, but it is not as powerful as the Han Dynasty... We are going this time to find the country of the Japanese slaves, this country is a subordinate of the Han Dynasty, and there is the golden seal of the Son of Heaven, and there is a reason for us to go..."

"Then we are going this time to conduct foreign trade with the Japanese slave country?"

"Slaves? Why is it called that..."

"Hahaha, they may not be called Japanese slaves, but at that time, the Han ministers all regarded them as barbarians, so they were translated as Japanese slaves..."

"I see..."

After chatting for a long time, seeing that Tai Shi Ci was not as restrained as before, and his face was melancholy, Cao Cao and Tai Shi Ci dressed neatly and returned to the side of the boat.

The next day, Tai Shi Ci left some soldiers here, left two big ships, and sent three big ships to return to Donghao, from Donghao to this island to transport some supplies, so that even if they stayed overseas for a long time, they did not have to worry about the problem of materials, after arranging many things, Tai Shi Ci and Cao Cao sailed again.

This time, Cao Cao's face was not so bad, it seemed that he had overcome the discomfort in his heart, and Tai Shici often came to find Cao Cao, often chatted, and the relationship became extremely close.

After sailing for a long time, just when Cao Cao was a little suspicious of whether the direction was wrong, they made an unexpected discovery, the big boat that opened the way, found a few small fishing boats, fishing in the distance, knowing this situation, Cao Cao immediately ordered to pursue these fishing boats, those fishing boats also seemed to have found their figures, and quickly fled into the distance.

Dozens of large ships slowly followed them, sailing away.

Cao Cao's main ship also drove to the front, standing side by side with Tai Shici, looking into the distance, his heart was full of joy, and finally he found it, those Benhan people, who boasted on weekdays, could sail back and forth to Yiguo several times with their eyes closed, but when they arrived on this big ship, they failed to find the right direction for more than half a month, if it weren't for Sinan, I am afraid that they are still wandering around at sea now.

Fortunately, they finally ran into these small boats, and with these fishing boats, they would definitely be able to find the island.

At this time, the crew was surprised to find that the outline of the island appeared in the distance, and this island was by no means the kind of uninhabited island, according to the outline, this is an extremely wide island, many of the crew members are veterans who have served in Yangzhou, they have come to many conclusions with their extraordinary experience, they once again changed the course and sailed towards the island.

As they approached the island, they could see the shore faintly, and the people of the people looked terrified, roaring and running around, and there was a noise everywhere, and on the sea, hundreds of small boats were gathered together, and the individual of those boats was small, and they could only accommodate three or four people, and it was evident that they had commanders.

Because they are constantly getting together, facing the Han fleet, trying to confront each other in vain.

Cao Cao smiled disdainfully, and ordered to summon the Benhan guide who knew the language of Yiguo, and asked him to stand at the bow of the boat, ready to get in touch with these people, the Benhan guide held the mast rope in his hand, stood at the bow of the boat, and wanted to negotiate with them, the boat he was in just approached the other party, "whoosh~~", hundreds of arrows flew in, and the guide was so frightened that he threw himself into the sea, and those arrows hit the big ship one after another.

Someone immediately pulled up the Benhan soldier who jumped into the sea, Cao Cao was furious and said, "Fight back!" ”

Although Tai Shi Ci did not agree with Cao Cao in his heart, he could not disobey the military order, and immediately ordered an attack, the crew rowed with all their might, and the soldiers took out the bed crossbows on the ship, yellow crossbows, and dozens of big ships rushed towards the other party, and the other party was also angry, rushing towards the Han fleet, however, when the dozens of big ships all appeared in the sight of the other party, the other party panicked.

Dozens of big ships, the shadow formed by the huge figure of several zhang high, directly covered those small boats, they seemed to be cut off by the light at that moment, they looked at these big ships in horror, many small boats that were about to set off also stopped, but the Han army did not want to stop, the bed crossbow made a deadly hissing sound, and the iron crossbow arrows flew towards each other.

"Click~"

Some of the small boats were directly pierced by the crossbow arrows, and the soldiers on them fell to the sea with a miserable howl, and a new order was issued for the leader, and many small boats turned to flee, and the Han fleet was behind them, chasing closely, they could not escape the black shadow, screaming in despair, and when the big Han fleet all reached the shore, the remnants of the wood of the small boats floated on the water, and everywhere was blood red.

Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to get off the ship, and Tai Shici escorted Cao Cao and stood on this land for the first time.

On the shore, there was no one left, they had already seen these huge hulls, they fled in all directions, leaving no one behind, Cao Cao led the soldiers forward, when they walked for a while, in front of them, there appeared a group of peasants with weapons in hand, these people or soldiers, they looked at this strange army with some panic, and the leader walked out of them.

The leader was holding a spear, followed by two soldiers, walked about a hundred steps, then stopped, and confronted Cao Cao, Cao Cao looked at this person with interest, but admired his courage in his heart, he sent the Benhan soldier again, to negotiate, these Benhan soldiers were almost shot by the other party, there was still some anger in his heart, and when he heard Cao Cao's order, he walked up with some arrogance.

"This is the Han army, it is here to find the Wa Kingdom, who are you, how dare you attack the Han fleet!!"

He roared.

The general was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then remembered something, his face changed greatly, and he said with some awe: "Meet the general, we don't know the Han army, so we are offended, and I hope the general will forgive the sin, but we are here in the Yamatai country, not the Wa country, and the Wa country is in the north..."

The soldier returned to Cao Cao's side and translated: "He said that this is not the Wa Kingdom, and he wants us to leave quickly!" ”

Cao Cao smiled in a low voice, suddenly his face changed greatly, pointed at this person, and shouted, "Arrest this thief with me!" As soon as he gave an order, someone immediately grabbed him, and the man was frightened and shouted, "Cao Gong, why is this? ”

"Just because you are talking nonsense and want to declare a personal vendetta, this crime is enough to behead you!"

"Cao Gong, I don't have it, I don't have it!"

"Hehe, you really don't know anything about me? Someone, pull this scoundrel to behead! ”

"Cao Gong, spare your life, Cao Gong, spare your life, forgive your sins, I will never do it again~~" The soldiers cried and shouted, but the Yi people on the other side didn't know what they were doing, looking at them suspiciously, Cao Cao squinted his eyes, which made the soldiers let go of him and let him come from the real translation, the man said in a panic: "He said that he didn't know that it was the Han army, and he hoped that Cao Gong would forgive his sins, they are not the Wa Kingdom here, they are the Evil Horse Terrace, and the Wa Kingdom is further north..."

Cao Cao looked at him coldly, nodded, and said, "Tell them that I want to meet their king!" ”

The soldier nodded and ran towards the other party, Tai Shici said with some admiration: "I don't know if Cao Gong still knows Yiyu?" ”

"Hahahaha~~" Cao Cao laughed and said in a low voice: "I just lied to him, where do you know what Yi language...."

"Hahaha~~" Tai Shici also laughed.

It didn't take long for the man to run over and say, "He said he could lead Cao Gong over, but these soldiers can't accompany him..."

"Hehe, that's good, I'm not going to see his king, let them come to see me in person, if not, I'll wash this place with blood, and the chickens and dogs won't stay!" Cao Cao said a little angrily, the man quickly ran over again, Tai Shi Ci said with a smile: "Cao Gong scares them like this, they must not dare to disobey.....

When Cao Cao heard this, he chuckled and did not speak.

He looked into the distance, saw that the soldier was still arguing with the other party, frowned, and said, "Array!" ”

The soldiers suddenly raised the halberd in their hands, and the crossbowman took out the yellow crossbow, lined up the battle formation, and the whole atmosphere became extremely solemn, the soldier and the general were startled, the general's eyes widened, and he hurriedly ordered something, and the soldier ran over, and said with a smile: "Cao Gong, they agreed, their king wants to come to see Cao Gong in person..."

"Well... If they don't come within an hour.... At one's own risk! ”

"Yes!"

Cao Cao fixed the big ship on the shore, and let the crew set up a camp on the seaside, so he ordered Tai Shi Ci to lead the soldiers to patrol around, to prevent the other party from cheating, Tai Shi Ci received the order, and then patrolled around, after half an hour, he saw a huge group of people coming over, the number was tens of thousands, Tai Shi Ci immediately called Cao Cao, and ordered the soldiers to wait in the surrounding array.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes, looked into the distance, and had no fear in his heart, such a rabble, he still didn't put it in his eyes, all he cared about was whether the other party's king had really arrived, seeing the luxurious frame in the distance, Cao Cao pulled Tai Shici in front of him, and said with a smile: "Later, you are the chief general of the Han Dynasty, and I am the deputy envoy..."

Although Tai Shi Ci didn't know why this was in his heart, he still nodded obediently and said, "Take the order!" ”

I can't see the situation in the frame from the outside, after the soldiers of Yiguo arrived, they stayed around, the frame stopped for a while, and then walked towards the Han camp, the horse was driven by the previous general, Cao Cao stood behind Tai Shici, observing these situations one by one, the frame rushed to Tai Shici's face, and the surrounding Yiguo soldiers completely lowered their heads, and only two people walked down from the frame.

The leader was a lean man, with a handsome face, but his face was a little frightened, and he was accompanied by a servant girl, who stood beside him with her head bowed.

The translator stepped forward again, chatted with the king of the other party for a few words, looked at Tai Shici, and said, "General, the king of Yiguo said, can you talk to the general in the camp tent... The countenance of their great king shall not be seen by the rest of the soldiers..."

Tai Shi Ci didn't know what kind of weird etiquette this was, the dignity of the king could not be seen by the courtiers, so how was this king administrative? He still nodded, and walked into the main tent with Cao Cao, the thin man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and walked into the tent with the maidservant.
