Chapter 505: A Voyage in the Sea

After sending Mi Zhu away, Liu Yi rested in Mi Zhen's room, and after getting up early to practice martial arts on the second day, he took his beloved daughter Liu Yun to play in the garden, at this time the general was quite ill, that is, the Son of Heaven would not bother if he had nothing important, and the ministers were even more so, just sending greetings, so Liu Yi was happy, and he could also be happy in front of his mother's knees, but he did not expect that there were many benefits in this pretending to be sick.

He expected that Sun Qian and Mi Zhu would come today, but it was Jia Xu who arrived in the house early in the morning, Wen He came to bid him off, and yesterday several people discussed letting Guo Jia go to Jingzhou to connect Liu Biao, and his position was temporarily replaced by Jia Xu.

Liu Yi also knew in his heart that since Cao Cao and Sun Ce had a secret contact, Guo Jia would have to go quickly to Jingzhou, in addition to forming a good relationship with Liu Biao, there was still Pang Tong's matter that worried him, and he wanted to send Wen He in person at this time He was quite ill and should not come forward, so he had to talk with him for a while and then handed him a few handwritten letters from himself, consistent with Guo Jia, consistent with Zhao Yun, and the remaining two were for Yan Liangwen Chou, I heard that the two have gradually become familiar with the new position recently, and Liu Yi also wants to comfort him.

After Jia Xu's resignation, Sun Qianmizhu and the two really came together, and accepted Liu Yi's conditions, in addition to the two continuing to play in Beijing, Liu Bei will also do something to Sun Ce within a month, which is also one of the prerequisites for Liu Yi to help him, and for the details of Xu Huang's army entering Xuzhou, he has to wait for Liu Bei's reply, Liu Yi has no objection to this, anyway, it takes a lot of time between the transfer of the army, and this time is enough for Liu Xuande to respond in detail.

Wait until the two of them say goodbye and leave, but someone comes to visit, there are three people who come, this is what Liu Yi has been looking forward to for a long time, it is the second brother Gan Ning who brought Li Fengzhu and Wang Xi to come, Liu Yi was overjoyed when he heard it, and immediately brought the three of them into the study, it seems that they must have achieved something.

"Hehe, I haven't seen my eldest brother for a long time, but when I see it today, I have a proud appearance, it seems that even if I get this disease occasionally, it may not necessarily be a bad thing." As soon as the two brothers met, Gan Ning made a joke, and now Liu Yi is still pale, how can there be a spring breeze to say proudly.

"What the second brother said is that there was nothing to do to be happy, but now as soon as Xingba arrives, something good will naturally come, let's say, but the thing I entrusted you with has been completed?" Liu Yi deliberately said seriously when he heard this, Xingba's personality was not like Zilong, and he was used to joking between the two.

"The eldest brother explained so cautiously that day, how dare the younger brother ignore it, but it was Fengzhu and Wang Xi who took the risk and became a sailor, so let the two of them tell the eldest brother to know." Gan Ning smiled again, but when he talked about everyone, there was a look of joy and admiration on his face.

"My lord, since General Gan returned to Fangshan to hand over this matter to us, we began to transform the warship, so that it can be more suitable for sailing to sea, after a month finally built a ship, between the size and the sea dragon Jiaolong, the speed and endurance of the ship are still above the two, and the villain will sail away with this ship. Lord Wang is also entourage, originally persuaded him to make this trip is very dangerous, but the Lord said that the Lord has received the Lord's kindness and can not be repaid, now the Lord attaches great importance to this matter, how can he avoid it because of the danger, he must go with the villain, and the Lord Wang's celestial phenomena can indeed be of great help to the sea, so he had to go with him, according to the direction that the Lord said, he traveled for half a month, and finally arrived at a land where there are people who speak, and the people on it are also quite similar to what the Lord said, and the figure is shorter than my Han people, but it is quite cunning and fierce, and the villain did not stay longer, After exploring around this place again, he turned back, but he encountered some trouble on the way back, and it took nearly twice as long to return to Fangshan, but fortunately, there were no casualties among the people who accompanied him. Hearing Gan Ning's words, Li Fengzhu immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Yi and said in detail, now that Goguryeo has long been destroyed, Li Fengzhu has served Liu Yi for a long time, and he has long regarded himself as a great Han citizen in his heart.

It turned out that after the Battle of Jizhou, Liu Yi thought about it and still felt that he wanted to strengthen the combat power of the Flying Tiger Army again, transform the ships, and also had an extra idea of sailing. For Liu Yi, who came through the country, this was obviously not enough, and he wanted to expand the territory of the Han Dynasty as much as he could, just as he destroyed Goguryeo.

At the beginning, such an idea was just a prototype, Liu Yi would not give up the basics, but now that Yuan Shao has been destroyed, nearly one-third of the Han world is in his hands, it is not an exaggeration to prepare this matter first, in addition to Goguryeo, Liu Yi now wants to include it in the territory of the Han Dynasty is the Wa Kingdom hanging overseas! As early as the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were people on the island who crossed the sea to the mainland, and the Son of Heaven also specially granted a golden seal, written "Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty", this seal was also well preserved by later generations, but at that time Emperor Wu did not know the details of the island, and his jade seal was only given to a powerful leader. But this is also the basis for Liu Yi to want to cross the sea to discuss, since they can come, we must be able to get by, the first point is that now Li Fengzhu and others have successfully found the location of the island, and then they will choose the most suitable route in the continuous exchanges, and Liu Yi will do it here after he can dominate the world, and Gan Ning's Flying Tiger Army is the prototype of the Han Navy in his imagination, which Liu Yi will do in his lifetime.

"Okay, you wait for this credit Liu will definitely write it down, but the map of the route should be drawn as clearly as possible, since the location of this island has been found, there is no need to take risks in the future, first try a few more times to find the safest route, Liu will send someone to trade with it, understand the details of the island, as long as this matter is completed properly, you will definitely be able to go down in history." Liu Yi said excitedly, the most difficult thing in many things is the first step, and it is logical to take a smooth step.

"The lord rest assured, the villain has begun to draw the nautical chart this time, and the king has the method of star map to verify it, although it is still vague, it can be clear as long as it takes a few more trips, and the ship also has many aspects to be remodeled, I think that the villain and the brothers in the camp can also improve the speed of this ship, with accurate nautical charts, the lord will definitely get what he wants." Gan Ning doesn't know why the eldest brother attaches so much importance to this matter, but he has always been meticulous about the things he explains, as for Li Fengzhu and Wang Xi, they are even more happy when they hear this.

"This is very good, but in the future, you must be careful, and you two don't have to go there if you don't have to, and it takes five or six years to draw a sea chart, and the most important thing is the improvement of the warship, but this time your energy should be concentrated on the inland river, and if you can't say soon, the second brother will be able to gallop on the Yangtze River waterway again in two or three years, and then you can play the banner of Jinfan again and defeat any of the sailors on it." Liu Yi explained again, these two people are rare talents, they can't take risks easily, the matter of Wadao is still a trivial matter, if Liu Bei can really defeat Sun Ce's own Flying Tiger Army sooner or later one day in the Yangtze River waterway, then it will depend on the skills of the second brother, thinking of this can't help but feel proud.

"Hahahaha, I heard the eldest brother say this, and the younger brother can't wait to fly by this day, I think that Gan was on the Yangtze River waterway back then, and now there is no problem with the help of the Flying Tiger Army." Gan Ning laughed when he heard this, he has the most say in the performance of the Flying Tiger Army's Sea Dragon Jiaolong II ship, far above the river boat he operated that day, plus there are still a few years of preparation time to improve it more, he has absolute confidence that he can dominate this waterway for his eldest brother.

"Hehe, the second brother's pride is not diminished back then, but I heard that Jingzhou Liu Biao and Jiangdong Sun Ce's naval army are quite elite in training, especially the latter's subordinates Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin are even the best here, but they should not be underestimated, so Xingba also has to select five or six capable people in the equipment battalion for them to go to find out the news of the enemy's naval army, so as to prepare for the future." Liu Yi said with a smile, although Cao Cao was still alive at this time, it was inevitably a little too early to mention the water war, but it is always not wrong to take precautions, the sooner you prepare, the more you will rely on, which is also the meaning of knowing yourself and knowing your opponent.

"Big brother rest assured, although the younger brother has not been working on the waterway for a long time, but Jingzhou Jiangdong to Bashu, there are still more than ten friends, from today onwards, Ning will remember that the eldest brother entrusted him to talk about this in detail one by one, just before the eldest brother mentioned Zhou Yu, this person is indeed not good, it is said that there are many well-known people on the waterway who voted under his command, among which the most famous is Ding Fengling Cao and the two are the most, and the Jiangdong Navy is quite a little poundy; And the person in charge of the Jingzhou Navy is Liu Biao's wife's relative Cai Mao of the Cai family, the Cai family is a famous family in Jingzhou, although this person's reputation is not obvious, it can be quite unique with the training of the water army, the eldest brother of these people can be explored in detail, and it is impossible to say that they will be the strong enemy of the younger brother Flying Tiger Army in the future! Although Gan Ning has not asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes for many years, after all, he has traveled extensively, knows the affairs of Jingxiang and Jiangdong very clearly, and also knows quite well about the main generals of the two armies.

"Okay, this is given to me by Heaven with Xingba, and when you show your strengths in the future, all the matters related to the Flying Tiger Army and the ship will be handed over to you as a brother, and I must try to gather more skilled craftsmen, and if you have any needs, I will do my best to meet them." Liu Yi also had excitement on his face when he heard this, it seems that Huaxia has not had a strong navy since ancient times, which has also caused the passive beating of future generations, and this situation is very likely to be changed by himself.

A few people in the study to discuss Liu Yi is still unsatisfied, so he set up a banquet with the house to continue to talk with the three of them, until the evening the three of them said goodbye and left, originally the two brothers have not seen Liu Yi and the second brother to drink and talk, but thinking that he and Wang Xinran have not seen each other for several months, as a brother, how can he disturb Xingba to solve the pain of lovesickness?
