The Silk Road represents endless wealth, enough to move anyone, and a little effort can earn several times or even dozens of times the profit. At both ends of the Silk Road, between the Han Dynasty and Rome, were the two second-tier dealers of Kushan and Anxi.

It is precisely because the interests of the Silk Road are too great that countless water bandits have been derived in Guishan. After all, in this era, water transportation was much more cost-effective than land transportation, and the seaborne trade of Kushan was extremely developed. At this important transit point on the Southwest Silk Road, countless ships came from the sea along the coastline from the Han Dynasty, and countless ships from Kushan headed west to Rome.

The silk, Shu cloth, bamboo canes, and handicrafts of the Han Dynasty can be transported to Guishan to obtain several times or even dozens of times the profit, and when they are transported to Rome, the profit is even more terrifying. In Rome, the price of silk was comparable to gold, and there was no market, and demand exceeded supply, and some people even believe that ancient Rome died to a large number of imported silks to some extent.

This kind of windfall profit is exaggerated many times more than the internal trade of Great Chu. Coupled with the internal power tilt of Kushan and the change of dynasty, there were many bandits on the sea around Kushan. And this is Cai Mao's breakthrough.

"General, Your Majesty has no order, isn't it inappropriate for us to do this!" Zhang Yun learned that Cai Mao was going to take action, so he stepped forward to stop him as soon as possible.

Zhang Yun was so scared in his heart that he almost cried. Now there are countless families in Guishuang staring at it, if something really happens, Cai Mao is the head of the Cai family, and there is a concubine sister who can still live, although he is also the head of the family, but compared with the Cai family, it is completely different, and there is absolutely only one death involved, nothing else. If Yuan Shu doesn't kill him, countless people from other families will kill him.

"De Jong, don't panic. If I'm not sure, I'm not going to do it. Will be subject to the life of the foreign monarch, Gan Xingba dares to be presumptuous, let's secretly test what's wrong? Cai Mao said very calmly. He knew the consequences of his failure, and he wouldn't have dared to act rashly if he hadn't gone through the plan dozens or hundreds of times in his heart to make sure that there were no omissions.

"What are you going to do?" As Cai Mao's brother and sworn friend, the two can be called spiritual, and their own family is also firmly tied to the Cai family, with both prosperity and loss. After understanding Cai Mao's determination, Zhang Yun had no choice but to say in a deep voice.

"De Jong, if I didn't have to do it, I wouldn't bother you. But as the commander of the navy, I really don't want to leave in a hurry, and this operation is most suitable with your legion talent. A hint of apology flashed in Cai Mao's eyes, but she still gritted her teeth.

"Do you and I still have to be so polite? You can just tell me what I should do. Zhang Yun smiled slightly.

"My Cai family secretly co-opted a naval general in Guishan with a false identity and learned a lot of information about Guishan. And the water bandits near Guishan, I also secretly arranged for spies to infiltrate and find out the bottom of some water bandits. This time, we are going to assume the identity of a bandit to seize a large warship. It's better to be able to destroy it altogether, but it can't and won't reveal our true identity. Cai Mao's eyes were dewed.

Although it was Guishuang's greed for warship technology that drove him to take this action very frantically, Cai Mao, who has always put self-preservation first, has already found countless ways to retreat to ensure that the worst situation will not occur. Even if his identity was discovered, he had a certain degree of certainty to suppress this matter in the Guishan Water Army. The power of money is still very strong in Kushan, a country that started as a trader.

"Ten days later, near Sumen Island in the southwest sea of Kushan, there will be a fleet of Kushan ships to protect merchant ships. The number of soldiers in this fleet was about 1,000, and among them was a large Kushan warship. I have secretly and indirectly informed the three pirates of this news, and they have agreed to join forces to plunder the raid at that time. Cai Mao said in a deep voice.

"Are these pirates reliable? That's the thousand-man fleet that has always been Guishan, and they dare to do it? Zhang Yun said incredulously.

When Cai Mao heard this, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly: "Of course, when the interests are big enough, they will naturally take risks willingly." For this plan, I united several families and quietly gathered 3,000 horses of silk and a lot of supplies to be transported by this caravan. Otherwise, how could Guishan send a fleet of 1,000 people to escort it? ”

"This time, there is no shortage of favors!" Hearing several families, Zhang Yun sighed lightly and said.

"There is no way, in order not to show flaws, it can only be like this. If only a few merchants had provided so much supplies, Guishan would inevitably be suspicious. In this case, caution is the best. If this matter is successful, His Majesty will reward him and bring these people up, and this favor will be nothing. Cai Mao said indifferently.

The family has close contact with each other, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to owe some favors, so it is possible to strengthen the relationship even more.

"How many of these three pirates are there? Can we trust each other? Zhang Yun asked.

"These three pirates are not small, about five or six thousand people combined. If we work together, we may not be able to eat this Kushan fleet. Cai Mao said: "When the time comes, you will take two thousand soldiers to hide behind the water bandits." When the battle is over, whether it is the three bandits or the Kushan fleet that is defeated, it should be heavily damaged, and you will take advantage of the situation to take it. ”

"Six thousand bandits? Will it be a little more? Zhang Yun asked: "Does the Guishan Navy really have such combat power?" ”

"It's better to count more than less, we don't know much about Guishan's combat methods, and the combat power of these water bandits also needs to be verified. I'd rather be the ones who will win in the end, and then there will be a lot less chance of exposure. Cai Mao said cautiously.

"Then the clouds and the military formation?" Zhang Yun hesitated.

"Depending on the situation, it's best not to be exposed. If you really can't, you can use the Legion talent to cover up. Cai Mao said.

"I understand." Zhang Yun said in a deep voice. His spiritual talent itself is an auxiliary confusion type, and Cai Mao arranged for him to do this kind of thing for his own consideration. Otherwise, it is not impossible for him to sit here for the time being and let Cai Mao go, after all, there is no battle to fight at this time.

"I've already arranged the manpower for you, half of them are the water bandits near Guishan that I secretly recruited during this time, and they can be said to play in their true colors. You go now, I have already planned a road map for you, and I will go around to a small uninhabited island in the southwest of Suman Island and camp for a while, and then I will go out again. ”

Seeing that Cai Mao arranged so carefully and meticulously, Zhang Yun also felt a little more confident in his heart. As far as he was concerned, he didn't see any flaws in it, and if everything was as he imagined, absolutely no one would think of him.
