Liaodong, Xiangping City.

"Quick. Right ahead! A group of wolf-like Liaodong soldiers rushed forward and quickly came to the coffin shop and surrounded the coffin shop.

"Rush in!" One of the generals waved his hand, and then the soldiers kicked open the door of the coffin shop and rushed inside.

The coffin shop was empty, quietly, and the Liaodong soldiers searched for most of the day, but they did not find anything other than some objects related to the fall of Goguryeo.

Soon after, Gongsun Yuan received news from the soldiers.

"Damn the Goguryeo!" Gongsun Yuan snorted coldly, his face was so gloomy and gloomy.

At that time, Gongsun Yuan's father, Gongsun Kang, led his troops to break through the capital of Goguryeo, occupied thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Liaodong, and then defeated Buyeo. For many years, Goguryeo did not give up on retaking the national capital.

Gongsun Yuan sent someone to pay tribute to Adou, originally to pat the fart, but he didn't expect that this fart was not filmed well, and it was mixed with three groups of assassins. Adou followed Xu Shu's advice and sent an envoy to Liaodong to question Gongsun Yuan. At the same time, ask for horses, ginseng, mink skins and other items.

Gongsun Yuan was furious about this matter, and among the three groups of assassins, Gongsun Yuan had no way to take Cao Rong, after all, his strength was not as good as others; The remnants of the Southern Xiongnu have long been scattered to various places, and Gongsun Yuan wants to seek revenge from them, but there is no way. Therefore, Gongsun Yuan could only take those Goguryeo people out of anger, and for a while, the remnants of the Goguryeo people in Liaodong were baptized in blood, and the land of Liaodong was full of blood, and thousands of people lost their heads because of this time.

However, what Gongsun Yuan is most worried about is Adou.

A dou lion opened his mouth and asked Gongsun Yuan for 50,000 war horses, 10,000 catties of ginseng, and 50,000 mink skins, and also asked Gongsun Yuan to supply 10,000 war horses, 2,000 catties of ginseng, and 10,000 mink skins every year.

Liaodong is very rich, but there are also very few people in Liaodong, and the few people in the agricultural era are doomed to low productivity, so Adou's requirements are impossible to answer for Liaodong, which has insufficient productivity.

Gongsun Yuan is not too worried that Adou will attack Liaodong, after all, Liaodong is a bitter cold land, but the Youzhou he just got is different, although Gongsun Yuan's general Beiyan captured Jicheng, but he took Tian Yu's 30,000 Youzhou iron cavalry, Tian Yu's people may counterattack at any time.

The other side has just surrendered to the right Beiping Deng Ai department. Although there are nearly 100,000 people, they are still being recruited. In a short period of time, there is no need to expect Deng Ai's 100,000 people to go to the battlefield. Once Adou really tried his best to retaliate and attack Youzhou, Gongsun Yuan could really only shrink to the east of Youbeiping.

The subordinate walked in from outside, came to Gongsun Yuan, bowed down and said, "Lord, the prince has come back and asked to see the lord." ”

"Guan Gong is back, please! Oh no, I'm going to greet it myself. Gongsun Yuan said and tidied up his clothes and went to greet Guan Ning.

Gongsun Yuan welcomed Guan Ning into the room, and then told Guan Ning about the assassin.

"Guan Gong, what should I do now? If the Han army attacks Youzhou in the east, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist, and I don't want to let out of Youzhou, which I just taken! ”

"Hehehe...... Congratulations to my lordship, congratulations to my lord...... The lord is overjoyed! Guan Ning said with a smile.

"Hi? Guan Gong, don't joke with me. ”

"My lord, I'm not kidding, what I said is all true. Liu Chan's asking price was too ruthless. However, this is exactly what it shows that he intends to blackmail some property, and he will not attack Youzhou for the time being, otherwise, Liu Chan would have already taken this opportunity to attack Youzhou, why do you have to ask the lord for so many things! So Youzhou has no worries, I naturally want to congratulate the lord! ”

"According to this, Liu Chan has no intention of Youzhou?"

"No, no one doesn't want Youzhou, and Liu Chan won't give up Youzhou. But I think now that he is busy competing with Sun Deng for Qingzhou, he has no time to attack Youzhou. ”

"But this Liu Chan's asking price is too high! Shall we say yes? ”

"He Liu Chan is asking for a price, of course we have to sit on the ground and pay back."

"I see! I will send someone to negotiate with Liu Chan's envoy. It's just that Tian Yu's 30,000 Youzhou Iron Cavalry are still in Dai County, what should I do? ”

"Your lordship doesn't need to worry." Guan Ning laughed, and continued: "With only 30,000 cavalry, there is nothing to be afraid of. The old man thinks that now the lord is still focusing on Deng Ai and the 100,000 army, as long as the 100,000 army is absorbed, the lord will have the capital to attack, retreat and defend. As long as you can firmly control this Deng Ai and this 100,000 army, whether it is Liu Chan or Sun Deng, they will no longer dare to underestimate the lord. At that time, even if he no longer paid tribute to Liu Chan, he couldn't do anything with the lord! ”

Gongsun Yuan nodded slightly, in this world, it is still the strength that matters. Now Gongsun Yuan is still relatively weak, so he can only pretend to be a grandson, if Gongsun Yuan has more than 100,000 people in his hands, Adou wants to deal with Gongsun Yuan, and he really has to think about paying for it.

"Guan Gong, I think I'd better go to Youbeiping to meet that Deng Ai in person!" Gongsun Yuan opened his mouth and said.

"That's fine, the lord should go to Youbeiping to see it in person."

……

Daishire.

Tian Yu's men and horses have already returned to Daijun.

Dai-gun is in the north of Tokoyama. The place where Zhao Yun followed Tong Yuan to learn art was the generation of Dai Jun, and Zhao Yun was very familiar with the terrain of Dai County's upper valley.

Now, in addition to Tian Yu's 30,000 Youzhou soldiers, Ma Qiu's Liangzhou Iron Cavalry has also arrived in Dai County. This surprised Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun knew the strategy formulated by Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, so Zhao Yun thought that the main target of the Han army should be placed in Qingzhou, and Zhao Yun did not plan that there would be reinforcements to Youzhou.

When he saw Ma Qiu, Zhao Yun knew that Adou intended to attack Youzhou, not only Ma Qiu's Liangzhou cavalry came, but even Wei Yan and Wang Ping had already arrived in Jinyang, and the army began to assemble towards the junction of Bingzhou and Youzhou.

Zhao Yun didn't know why Adou suddenly changed his strategic approach, but Zhao Yun was not a commander, and now Zhao Yun's age has long been unable to go to the battlefield.

On the other hand, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Zang Ai had already surrendered to Soochow. The whole of Qingzhou fell into the hands of Soochow. Zang Ai was persuaded by Sima Yi to surrender, so Sima Yi made another great contribution, and Sima Yi's position in Jiangdong was once again stabilized. In the hearts of those generals who were not from Jiangdong, they already regarded Sima Yi as a god, but in Sun Deng's mind. Sima Yi's importance is far greater than 6 sun.

Jiangdong occupies Qingzhou and can go north to Jizhou at any time, and at this time, there is good news from the 6 Xun side, the entire Yuzhou has been taken by the 6 Xun, and the Wei power south of the Yellow River has been completely swept away.

Sun Deng personally went to Qingzhou, summoned Zang Ai, and ordered Sima Yi to stabilize Qingzhou as soon as possible, and when Qingzhou was stable, he would march to Jizhou.

……

Linzi City.

Sima Yi sat in the center. There was a thick pile of official documents on the table, and below Sima Yi, Zang Ai, Zhuge Dan, Zhuge Ke and others sat on both sides.

"Teacher, look, this is the map of Donglai." Zhuge Ke hung up a map.

Sima Yi glanced at the map, then looked at Zang Ai, and said, "You gave it to him!" ”

"What my lord said is that this map is a map of Donglai County, Qingzhou, which was drawn by my father ten years ago, and it should be very accurate."

Sima Yi nodded, and asked Zhuge Ke again: "Yuan Xun, why are you showing me this?" ”

"Look at this Donglai, it is only a stone's throw away from Liaodong, and the entire sea east of Jizhou is surrounded by Donglai and Liaodong."

"Yuan Xun, do you mean to build a big port in Donglai?" Sima Yi asked.

"What the teacher said is that the Wei State has never been heavy on the water army, so Donglai is such an important place, but there is no big port, and the queen of the Wa Kingdom, Beimihu, paid tribute to Cao Pi, and all of them came from Liaodong. However, our Jiangdong Navy is different, as long as we build a large port in Donglai and build a large sea ship, it is equivalent to controlling the east bank of Jizhou, and our Jiangdong Navy Division can board 6 Jizhou at any time. ”

Sima Yi nodded, then looked at Zang Ai next to him, and asked, "Zang Ai, is it feasible to build a big port in Donglai?" ”

"Absolutely!" Zang Ai nodded.

"Hehehe......" Sima Yi suddenly laughed, and then spoke Zhuge Ke: "Yuan Xun, you want to build a port in Donglai, not just to attack Jizhou!" ”

"Teacher, that's what you said. If it is to build Donglai Port, such an important matter, Your Majesty will definitely hand it over to the teacher to do, and the management of Donglai Port in the future will also be indispensable to the two generals Zang Ai and Zhuge Dan. Zhuge Ke paused. Then he said: "Liu Chan does not have a navy, and my Jiangdong Navy is invincible in the sea, and the Jiangdong Navy will definitely be stationed in Donglai Dagang in the future." ”

"Yuan Xun, do you know that I have lived in the north for a long time, and I don't know how much naval army I have, let alone naval battles, how many Jiangdong naval divisions are there?" Sima Yi asked.

"There are 50,000 sailors on the Yangtze River, of which 20,000 sailors are on big ships and can enter the sea at any time, and there are more than 10,000 sailors who walk on the sea on weekdays." Zhuge Ke paused in his voice, and then said: "In addition, if I do my best in Jiangdong Haishi, I can transport 20,000 troops at one time!" ”

"Twenty thousand, ten thousand, twenty thousand, it adds up to 50,000!" Sima Yi asked.

"Teacher, that's not all, I have 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers in Jiangdong who are proficient in water, and if it is wartime, these 70,000 or 80,000 people can be transported by sea." Zhuge Ke continued.

"So much!" Sima Yi gasped, and at this time Sima Yi also realized the strength of the Jiangdong Water Army.

The navy transports soldiers, and they walk on the sea, and the ships on the sea do not have various checkpoints and fortresses like the 6 on the ground, which can be said to be unimpeded. The several states controlled by Soochow are all coastal, and controlling the navy is equivalent to controlling the entire Jiangdong coast and even the Yangtze River, which is equivalent to controlling the main artery of Soochow!

The Jiangdong Navy has always been commanded by generals who are proficient in the navy, from Zhou Yu and Lü Meng to He Qi and Lü Fan. If the port is established in Donglai, the Jiangdong Navy will definitely station troops in Donglai Dagang, and whoever controls Donglai Dagang is equivalent to controlling the powerful navy of Dongwu.

If Sima Yi proposed to Sun Deng to build Donglai, plus Zang Ai and Zhuge Dan, the two local snakes, were Sima Yi's people, Sun Deng would definitely hand over the power of Donglai to Sima Yi, and this would be equivalent to Sima Yi controlling the powerful naval army of Eastern Wu.

Sima Yi is extremely smart, how can he not understand the deep meaning behind this Donglai Dagang, and Sima Yi also knows that it also involves the struggle between the two factions in the court.

"Yuan Xun, this matter is very important, let the teacher think about it again." Sima Yi groaned.

"Teacher, are you worried about 6 Xun and Gu Yong?" Zhuge Ke immediately asked.

Sima Yi nodded lightly and looked at Zhuge Ke in some surprise. This Zhuge Ke is really extremely smart, Sima Yi already thinks he is very smart, but compared to Zhuge Ke, Sima Yi can only sigh to himself.

"The Zhuge family is really a freak, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin are enough, and now there is a Zhuge Ke. This Zhuge Ke is a good material, but smart people are often smart and mistaken by smart, I hope he doesn't do this......" Sima Yi sighed softly.

"Teacher, in fact, you don't have to worry about 6 Xun and Gu Yong, it is a matter of time before you tear your face with those Tu people in Jiangdong, rather than waiting until the court in the future to divide the victory and defeat, it is better to take advantage of the fact that 6 Xun is leading the troops and strike first!" Speaking of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Zhuge Ke's eyes.

Sensing the ruthlessness in Zhuge Ke's eyes, Sima Yi's heart trembled slightly, Zhuge Ke is smart, but his style of doing things never leaves a way back, this kind of character can bring great success to Zhuge Ke, and it may also bring death to Zhuge Ke.

"Besides, I've already talked about my father's voice, and my father is willing to fully support the teacher." Zhuge Ke continued.

"Oh, Brother Ziyu is willing to support me?" Sima Yi looked at Zhuge Ke with some surprise, Zhuge Jin is very sleek, he has always been the master who does not see rabbits and eagles, and now he is willing to express his support for Sima Yi, which makes Sima Yi feel very surprised.

If there is really Zhuge Jin's support, Sima Yi's power in the court will no longer have any disadvantage, and he will be able to compete with the Jiangdong line of 6 Xun and Gu Yong.

"Okay, I'll write to Your Majesty and establish Donglai Dagang!" Sima Yi finally made up his mind.

Then, Sima Yi looked at Zhuge Ke again, and then asked: "There is a eunuch by Your Majesty's side, named Huang Hao, is he very favored by Your Majesty?" ”

"What the teacher said is that this Huang Hao is deeply favored by His Majesty, but there is nothing wrong with this Huang Hao except for greed for money."

"Greedy for money? It's good to be greedy for money, and everything in this world that can be solved with money is not a problem. A weird smile appeared on Sima Yi's face, and then he continued: "Yuan Xun, do you know what to do?" ”

"Don't worry, teacher, I understand."
