Chapter 278: Condolence (2)

Outside Hanzhong City, at Hanshui Wharf, five small boats are docked.

On the dock, Zhuge Liang took his wife Huang Yueying, and more than ten personal guards, and was saying goodbye to Uncle Liu Huang and others.

This time, Zhuge Liang mourned Jiangdong for the envoy, because if he wanted to bring his wife with him, he could only take the waterway.

By land, Zhuge Liang doesn't care, but Mrs. Huang Yueying is a weak woman, and it is thousands of miles away from Jiangdong, even if she takes a carriage, it is not something that ordinary people can bear. Relatively speaking, the waterway is smoother and more convenient.

The reason why I took my wife to Jiangdong was mainly to reunite with my eldest brother Zhuge family.

There is a way that the eldest brother is like a father, after he Zhuge Liang got married, the newlyweds have not yet visited the eldest brother, this time Zhuge Liang happened to be an envoy to Jiangdong, and by the way, he took his wife to meet his brother.

The birthplace of Hanshui is in Hanzhong, and its source is in the mountains in the northwest of Baozhong.

The Han River flows all the way through Hanzhong City and Chenggu County on the border of Hanzhong, Xicheng County and Yang County in the eastern part of Hanzhong, and then passes through the foot of Wudang Mountain and flows into Xiangyang City, and even the moat of Xiangyang City is directly quoted from Han Water.

The Han River passes through the county all the way through Jingxiang and finally joins the Yangtze River at the mouth of the three rivers in Jiangxia County.

Therefore, if it is not 800 miles to expeditious, along the Han River all the way downstream, you can enter the Yangtze River at the mouth of the three rivers, and finally take the Yangtze River route, you can go down the river to reach Chaisang, the capital of Jiangdong; This is the correct route from Hanzhong to Jiangdong.

When Sun Ce was in charge of Jiangdong, because of the need to defeat Jiangxia Huangzu, he moved the political center to Chaisang. In the previous life, the capital of Jiangdong was Jianye (that is, Stone Town, the predecessor of Nanjing in later generations), which was moved there after Sun Quan took charge of Jiangdong.

At this time, Sun Quan had just taken over Jiangdong and had not moved the capital, so Zhuge Liang went to Jiangdong to offer condolences, so he naturally needed to go to Chaisang.

……

"The military advisor is on this trip, take care all the way!"

On the dock, Uncle Liu Huang took the civil and military forces of Hanzhong City to Zhuge Kongming. This time, it was a bit of a last resort to let Kong Ming's military division send an envoy to Jiangdong, if it weren't for this, how could Uncle Liu Huang let the military division get into danger?

If you just go to Jiangdong to offer condolences, Sun Qian or Mi Zhu can do it, or even Jian Yong. But after the condolences, there are still some things to negotiate with Jiangdong, which is not something that Sun Qian and others can decide.

Only Zhuge Liang, because he is a military advisor, can make decisions on behalf of Uncle Liu Huang with full powers outside.

There is also this same right, as well as the right army division Pang Tong.

But Pang Tong has been working behind closed doors during this period of time, how can he leave Hanzhong lightly?

"Rest assured, Kong Ming's trip will be a success!"

Zhuge Liang bowed his hand and said goodbye to the lord and a group of colleagues, but he swore in his mouth.

It stands to reason that even if Jiangdong has a new leader, he should follow the rules, but Sun Quan is very likely to be able to even his brother, and Sun Ce will continue to acquiesce to some of the interests entanglements that Sun Ce acquiesced in the past, and Zhuge Liang did not dare to guarantee it.

However, when the eldest brother defected to Jiangdong in the past, he seemed to be Sun Quan's staff.

has this relationship, this is the reason why Zhuge Liang dares to speak out.

After bidding farewell to the lord and colleagues, Zhuge Liang turned around and got on the boat. Mrs. Huang Yueying and two maids, as well as more than a dozen personal guards, had already boarded the ship, just waiting for Zhuge Liang to board the ship, and the team would be able to set sail.

Five small boats, Zhuge Liang and his wife Huang Yueying, as well as the maid Daya and Xiaoya, occupied one, put on and a few boatmen. The personal guard is another one, and the remaining three small boats are gifts.

Each of these small boats can only carry about a dozen people.

The Han River can indeed carry large ships, and even three-masted warships can pass, but this is the upstreamside of the Han River, almost the source of the Han River, the river is not very wide, and the river is not deep, not to mention the three-masted warships, even the big ships cannot sail here.

Zhuge Liang and the others took these small boats, and when they reached the east of Chenggu County, they would transfer to Ganning's three-masted warship.

The Hanzhong Naval Division has been established, and Gan Ning is the first commander of the Naval Division, and its station is near the big waterhole east of Chenggu County. After the Han River flowed through Chenggu County, the amount of water was much more abundant, and the river became much deeper, so that large ships and warships could pass.

As for why you should take Gan Ning with you?

First, it is thousands of miles away from Jiangdong, even if it is by waterway, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents?

With Gan Ning, the general of the water division, and Gan Ning's Ninggang Realm force as a guarantee, Zhuge Liang's trip to Jiangdong can be unharmed.

Second, the Hanzhong Navy Division is newly built, and there are too few talents.

This trip to Jiangdong, there are a lot of old acquaintances of Ganning in the waters along the way, and through the relationship between Ganning and Ning, it is impossible to recruit some sailor talents. As long as Gan Ning makes a little contact with the Jingzhou sailors in Jiangxia on the return trip, he will be able to dig a lot of corners!

Third, when he went to Jiangdong, Zhuge Liang needed to negotiate with Jiangdong for several things, including the purchase of warships.

The newly built Hanzhong Naval Division is not only short of people, but also especially short of warships, and there is not much to say about small sampans in the naval division.

It just so happened that the Jiangdong Lu clan, one of the four wealthy merchants in the world, was an expert in building all kinds of ships. And now, the Jiangdong Lu clan is "working" for the Sun clan. If Zhuge Liang wanted to buy a warship on behalf of Uncle Liu, he had to negotiate with the Jiangdong rulers.

If they can buy a warship, they will need Gan Ning to drive the warship back to Hanzhong.

In this era of shopping, you don't pay attention to home delivery service!

……

Chenggu County is the eastern barrier of Hanzhong City, and it is only thirty or fifty miles away from Hanzhong City. Zhuge Liang and their five small boats went down the river, and the speed was not slow, just after noon, Zhuge Liang and his entourage arrived at the naval camp in the east of Chenggu County.

At this time, Gan Ning had been waiting for a long time in the sailor camp.

"The last general, Gan Ning, meet the military advisor!"

On the dock, everyone was turning from a small boat to a big boat, Zhuge Liang had just gotten off the boat, and Gan Ning hurriedly came up to pay respects.

Last night, he received a military order from Hanzhong City, this time the Kong Ming army division sent to Jiangdong, and he Ganning had to escort him with three warships, and he needed to protect the safety of the army division in Jiangdong. For this task, Gan Ning gladly accepted the order. It's just that there is one thing he doesn't understand, why did Kong Ming's military division send Jiangdong at this time?

"The military advisor sent an envoy to Jiangdong, but what is the important mission?" Since he was puzzled, Gan Ning asked.

Zhuge Liang said with a little regret: "More than half a month ago, the little overlord Sun Ce was stabbed to death, and it stands to reason that we need to send an envoy to Jiangdong to mourn." "This news, at present, not many people in the whole world know about it.

Of course, those who should know, even if he is in the northern country, must have known that Sun Ce has fallen at this time.

Gan Ning is only a general under the Hanzhong Group, although he is also qualified to participate in the high-level meeting in Hanzhong City, but he is a general of the water division, and he has been stationed in the water division camp in the east of Chenggu County for a long time, so the news that the senior management of the Hanzhong Group already knows, Gan Ning really does not know at all. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
