Lü Bu then arrived in Chengdu by land, and the wealth of the land of abundance made Lü Bu also admire, and the beautiful Shu brocade has now become the main commodity of the Han Empire's foreign exports, in exchange for a lot of profits for the empire.

The current Han Empire is completely in trade surplus, with a huge amount of products exported to all over the world, and a large amount of gold and silver taken back to the country, of course, many times it is bartered, and some rare minerals and rare products from abroad pour into the country in large quantities.

From Chengdu to Jiaozhou, the Ministry of Communications has built a high-grade highway to connect Chengdu and Panyu, of course, some sections in the middle are affected by the mountainous terrain, and can only be built into a mountain road, which is still relatively steep.

However, in any case, the flat road reduces the difficulty of traffic, reduces the cycle of logistics turnover, saves time and reduces costs.

Lu Bu's marching army went south to Jiaozhou along this highway and arrived in Panyu very smoothly.

Panyu is the state of Jiaozhou, and it is also the largest port of the Han Empire at that time, standing on a high place, looking at Panyu Port, thousands of sails are lined up, and the huge Panyu Port is crowded with merchant ships from all over the world.

Of course, there were mainly merchant ships from the Han Dynasty and the Nitsunan and Wu kingdoms, and Rome still had only a small number of galleons, and the Suez Canal was not opened, so it was impossible for them to come to East Asia from the Mediterranean.

The foreign merchant ships included a small number of Arab merchant ships, a small number of merchant ships of the Persian Empire and the Kushan Empire, and more merchant ships of the Nisan Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom.

The Han Empire was an ally of the Ninan Kingdom, and there was certainly no problem with the free movement of trading merchant ships.

Although the Han Empire and the Wu State are still in a hostile relationship, the private trade is not prohibited, as long as it is legal and compliant, not smuggling trade, the Han Empire does not prohibit the merchant ships of the Wu State from entering and leaving the port of Panyu, of course, boarding and inspection is inevitable.

For the assembly of the expeditionary army, the navy of the Han Empire specially opened the new port of Panyu, which is a military port and is not a harbor with Panyu port, which is also convenient for the need for secrecy.

This expedition and the Roman Empire had an unprecedented Armageddon, and the army and navy of the Han Empire were all going all out, and the elites did their best, truly pouring the strength of the whole country.

In addition to retaining the coastal defense fleet that is sufficient to deter Wu, all the large and medium-sized warships newly built in recent years have joined the naval sequence of the expeditionary force.

In addition to the flagship "Xinghan", there were three 2,000-ton Imperial-class sail battleships, twenty 1,000-ton Taishan-class gunboats, thirty 500-ton Changan-class gunboats and forty reconnaissance ships, and 100 large transport ships.

The transport ships are mainly used to transport the 1st Garrison Division, the 1st Special Operations Division, the 1st Rong Division, and the two combat divisions of the Marine Corps that follow the fleet and go out by sea.

More than 80,000 men, plus artillery, ammunition, food supplies, etc., filled a hundred large transport ships, and even these gunboats were filled with marines.

And in Minagara, there is also Lu Su's Indian Ocean Fleet waiting for Lu Bu's expeditionary fleet, and at that time, at least half of the ships of the Indian Ocean Fleet will join the expeditionary fleet.

More armies were massed overland to the Persian Empire, and the Silk Road was now full of convoys carrying troops and supplies.

Many caravans between West and Central Asia and the Central Plains had been requisitioned by the Han Empire's military, and their wagons, ox carts, and camels were used to transport people and supplies.

Both Damascus and Alexandria have built huge strategic reserve warehouses to stock up on supplies needed for the war.

All the provinces on the Mediterranean coast of the Persian Empire have entered the highest level of combat readiness, and the Persian Empire will do its best to assist the Han Empire in this expedition, and the two empires will join hands to challenge the Roman Empire.

Ardashir I had completely consolidated his throne, and Sassanid Persia had taken complete control of the vast territories that had previously been part of the Roman Empire and the Sabbatical Empire.

Layers of government were established, from the central government to the local provinces, and Ardashir I could effectively administer them.

Because he had implemented many new policies that were beneficial to the common people, he was embraced and supported by the common people, and the interests of the nascent Persian nobility were closely tied to the Sassanid royal family, so they supported all the decisions of His Majesty.

The remnants of the Rest Empire had no soil to survive under the rule of the new Empire, and they had no choice but to defect to the Roman Empire to counterattack.

The war of the Kushan Empire was endless, and the division of the empire was basically a foregone conclusion, and the two sides were basically bounded by the Indus River and the Thar Desert, dividing the Kushan Empire into two parts.

Peshawar, Kabul, Arakia, and Bactria were all under the control of Mags, and he had the support of the Han Empire, as well as access to the sea like Minagara.

The Bo Tune controlled the important provinces of the Kushan Empire, such as Jhelum, Rawalpindi, Gujayranwala, Faisalabad, Punjab, and Gandhara, and had a large number of high-quality troops and the support of the Roman Empire.

The two sides are evenly matched, Mags's army equipment is of better quality, and Bodiao's army combat effectiveness and number of troops are more superior, and the generals on both sides are also figures like Sauter and Osidemos, which are also indistinguishable.

So it's basically a stop-and-go situation, no one can help anyone, it's all the orthodox bloodline of the Kushan royal family, so it can only split a huge Kushan Empire into two parts, east and west, each claiming the emperor.

And Lu Bu believed that a divided Guishan was far less threatening than a unified Guishan, and even the merchants of the Han Dynasty could easily maneuver between the two sides, and the one with the highest price would win.

In June 220, Lü Bu ended a six-month national tour and boarded the flagship of the Han Empire's naval fleet, the Xinghan, at the port of Panyu in Nanhai County, and led his three main divisions to the sea by sea to Minagara, the Kushan Empire.

The huge fleet set sail from Panyu, with towering masts and huge sails, covering the sky and the sun, and the sound of horns for connecting with each other came and went.

200 large and small ships rushed out, and hundreds of thousands of people from Panyu saw off at the wharf and on both sides of the Pearl River.

Gan Ning personally served as the commander-in-chief of the Grand Fleet, and he would command the fleet until it reached Minagara, and then handed over to Lu Su, who would be in charge of commanding the Han navy for expeditions to the Mediterranean.

After the expeditionary fleet set off from Panyu Port, the first stop was the Wenchang Naval Base in Zhuyazhou, and Lu Bu came to Zhuyazhou for the first time, which was later known as Hainan Island, and he had been fascinated by the charming scenery here for a long time.

After Zhuyazhou was recovered by the Han Empire, it intensified its development efforts, and large immigrant settlements and towns sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, which have spread all over the island.

The island's rich mineral resources are being developed, and the Wenchang Naval Base has also been preliminarily completed, which is responsible for the ocean-going escort mission in the South China Sea.
