In the vast sea, there is a group of jewel-like green islands, which are the beautiful archipelago known as the "fairy mountain on the sea" - Miaodao Islands, also known as the Long Island Islands. Long Island is located in the Bohai Strait between the Liaodong Peninsula and the Shandong Peninsula, and faces the ancient city of Penglai across the sea.

According to the "Historical Records", the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty Wudu once trekked tirelessly, stopping and resting on the side of Penglai Danya Mountain, looking at the sacred mountain in the sea, begging for immortality. At that time, the fog on the sea rose, and the figure of Long Island was uncertain in the sea fog, and the monks coaxed the emperor to say that there were immortal mountains in the sea.

In ancient times, Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou Sea Sanshen Mountain refer to the three largest islands in the Changdao archipelago: Changdao is called Yingzhou Xiandao, Daheishan Island is called Abbot Xiandao, and Miaodao is called Penglai Xiandao.

The ecology of the Long Island archipelago is well maintained, with a forest coverage rate of 60%, and the islands around Temple Island are sanitation, with original ecological islands such as Stone Island, Bird Island, Hare Island, and Pit Viper Island. However, the island has always been inhabited, and archaeologists have since discovered more than 30 Stone Age sites, tombs, ancient ruins and rock carvings on the island.

After Liu Bei developed Liaodong, Longkou Port was narrow and small, and Miaodaotang naturally made its outer port, sharing the prosperity of Penglai Port and Longkou Port. Therefore, although Liu Bei brought a lot of soldiers on this trip, Miaodaotang can be fully accommodated.

While waiting for the messenger from Qingzhou, Liu. Bei often strolls along the beach, and enjoys the post-war tranquility with Yoon Dong and his subordinates.

The mountains and rivers of the Long Island archipelago are intertwined like poetry. Painting, each island has the magic of each island. Cheyou Island, also known as Ten Thousand Birds Island, is the kingdom of birds, ten thousand birds take off, cover the sky and cover the sun, it is said to be spectacular. The large and small Zhushan Islands are named after bamboo, and the small rivers on the island flow water, and the green bamboos are green, showing a beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River in the smoke and waves.

The large and small black mountain islands are the kingdom of snakes - there are no gods, and there are more than 10,000 giant poisonous snakes living on the island, becoming the second largest snake island in China. The island is a world of stones, the colored stones are lined up, exquisite, and the whole island is set against the backdrop of the colored stones, becoming a mural world with changeable patterns and brilliant colors.

And the most fascinating thing in the local area is the ethereal, real and illusory. It's a mirage. According to the data, Long Island is the most frequent region for mirages in China, especially after the rains in July and August. When Liu Bei arrived on the Long Island Islands, he just caught up with a mirage, and under the temptation of the beautiful scenery, Liu Bei half-pushed and half-settled, and settled down on Long Island.

"Ten thousand soldiers, idle and idle, let them renovate the port of Changdao this winter, and make the chain of Changdao islands a supply station on the way to Samhan and Liaodong, where the scenery is so good that the soldiers can choose their own land and build villas, inns, and the like anywhere in this group of islands, to pay for the construction of the wharf.

Also, the herald Miss Mi should bring 500 family members to the island and build here. A big villa where I can come for a holiday in the hot summers in the future. Liu Bei confessed to his guards.

The island chain of the Long Island archipelago will flow in and out of the Bohai Sea. The shipping line is divided into eight waterways, and with the development of the Samhan Zone and Sunrise Wanghai City, these eight small islands have become particularly important as a supply line and a security guarantee for the Balhai Inland Sea. The 10,000 Legionnaires were scattered on these islands during the quarantine, just in time to complete the port facilities and defenses of the island group. It also lays the foundation for the future development of the islands.

"I heard that the shrimp on Long Island are good, and it was later the fishing ground for cold-water shrimp in China. In addition, there are a large number of seals living among the islands, and you lead people to build the dock here, and I will go to the sea to catch shrimp and seals. This winter, we've had enough of Long Island prawns. Yin Dong was eager to try.

Liu Bei's eyes flashed with salivation: "How can Long Island prawns be as delicious as seal meat?" Seal meat is so delicious that it can be eaten raw with soy sauce. Seal tooth is a good thing to rival elephant ivory. However, I remember that the sealing season in Japan should be in March, and it is the breeding season for seals, so is it too much to catch seals? Liu Bei swallowed.

Yin Dong tilted his head, thought for a long time, and made up his mind: "I can only eat seal meat in March next year, I don't have the patience to wait so long, so let's do it, I'll only catch two or three heads and try them." ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and said goodbye to Yin Dong.

On August 20, Qingzhou's big ship arrived on Long Island, bringing Liu Bei four mixed news. The imperial court did not comment on Liu Bei's request to attack the Xiongnu, however, it appointed Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Shangdang County, who had been kidnapped by Yu Fuluo, as the Taishou of Hanoi County, and through this appointment, the imperial court expressed its dissatisfaction with Fuluo's unauthorized abduction of Han officials, which was equivalent to indirectly acquiescing to Liu Bei's request. Fu Shou and other officials wrote a letter suggesting that they submit a letter to the imperial court, recommending the former Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang as the pastor of the state.

Wang Kuang surrendered after Liu Bei captured Yecheng, and after Zhang Yang transferred to Hanoi Taishou, the entire state was no longer under its jurisdiction. With Wang Kuang as a puppet, it is just right for Qingzhou to fully take over the annexation of the state, and after the harvest in late autumn, it is also the best time to take over the annexation of the state. As long as we help the people survive this winter, the winter wheat in Yecheng will mature in May next year, which can meet the supply of grain and grass. It only takes a year to recover.

Liu Bei said appreciatively: "Yes, the idea of frustration is good, after our army takes over Shangdang County, it is just right to attack the Xiongnu from both sides." At the same time as Frustrated Shou's suggestion, there was also the news that Zhang He had captured the Xiongnu Zhonglang General with an ironclad army and captured Jinyang: "Report to the imperial court."

At the same time as recommending Wang Kuang, he also recommended Zhang He as the new Xiongnu Zhonglang general, and concurrently led Xinxing County (including Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, and Yanmen County). I want to see if the Huns dare to resist the orders of the Xiongnu Zhonglang in the future.

In the past, Huo Qubing once said the strategy of dealing with the Huns, ten words: 'The sheep are in the Huns, the sheep are dead, and the Huns are dead.' 'The Huns fed on meat, rode on horses, and lived in pursuit of water and grass. Therefore, killing ten ewes is equivalent to killing one sergeant of the Huns. The Xiongnu graze the sheep, all in the wild, without the protection of the walled wall, easy to plunder. It is better than directly attacking the Xiongnu tribes. As long as we make a plan to systematically plunder the Hun flock. The Hun warriors would starve and starve, so they would either be destroyed or flee.

We now need to send a strong force to escort Wang Kuang to his post and plan a follow-up action against the Xiongnu. But where will the troops be drawn from? Liu Bei sighed.

Liu Bei picked up the second report, which read: Xian Yufu's army defeated Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Zhan was forced to abandon Jixian and retreat to Yijing, before entering Jizhou, Tian Kai's army turned to help.

Liu Bei sighed again: "Izumo's army can't move, Zhang He's army can't move, Yecheng's army can't move if it wants to monitor Cao Cao, the third army can't move if it looks at Taishan County, Qinghe, Pingyuan and other four counties have just stabilized, and the army can't be moved at will, what?" ”

Liu Beiyang pondered for a long time: "It seems that Gao Shun and Tai Shici can only be mobilized." Tell Guan Hai to take the Violent Bear Corps to Jieshi, let the thunder cavalry and the wolf ride to Yecheng, and take over Wang Kuang's post, as long as the two orders are issued at the same time, the rapid change of guard of this army will make people with unforeseen intentions unable to make up their minds....."

Liu Bei threw down the second letter sullenly and picked up the third: Zhou Yu had returned to Boxing with an edict, and was taking a boat all the way down the river, and after changing to a sea ship at Jieshi, he would pick up the Daqin merchants at Longkou Port and come to Changdao again. In addition, the intelligence department found that Cheng Yu had appeared in Cao Ying, and after sending people to Yecheng, they found that Cheng Yu and Guo Jia had left. Before leaving, the two used their identities to purchase a large number of restricted-level fine maps. Jizhou had just been annexed, and the township guards were in chaos, and they didn't know when these two people left.

Liu Bei smiled coldly in his heart: "It seems that Guo Jia is planning to go out to Cao Cao." Before he left the office, he was accompanied by Cheng Yu to spy on my reality. But what's the use of giving him a fine map? The ruler he used was a Han ruler, accurate to the inch, and he was given a fine map, and he could not accurately calculate the distance of the march according to the scale. In their hands, the detailed map is no different from a normal map, and at most they know whether the mountain is to the north or the south. He can't measure the elevation angle between the sun and the earth, and without a sextant, how can he position himself?

However, at this moment, he went to Yecheng to spy on the truth and reality, did Cao Cao have an idea? ”

When Zhou Yu came, he knew that after Cao Cao's new army was trained, Zhou Yu was the only general who had witnessed the battle of Cao's army. Find him to collect evidence to know Cao Jun's combat effectiveness.

Liu Bei closed his eyes, leaned back on the chair, and sketched a strategic map in his mind: Gucheng, Luoyang, and Yecheng constitute the support of the north, Pingyin and Taishan are like a huge open fist, and Peijun is like a heart-warming leg.

"North", Liu Bei slammed his fist on the table: "The northern problem must be solved as soon as possible." Now, there are about thirty days left before the first snow in the north, and the northern problem is solved, and Izumo's army can be dispatched. ”

Liu Bei picked up his pen and immediately wrote a letter to Le Jin, Zhang Liao and others, ordering them to send troops to aid Gongsun Chan before the first snow, quell Xian Yufu's rebellion, and then disarm Gongsun Chan and bring Youzhou under Izumo's jurisdiction.

"Just after the autumn harvest, the counties have not yet collected taxes, and they will immediately take over the entire territory of Youzhou." Liu Bei wrote: "Tell the people of Youzhou that Youzhou will not pay taxes this year and will grow and eat by themselves, but they must participate in military service training this winter." Take advantage of this winter farming slack to reorganize Youzhou. At the beginning of next spring, the Izumo army can be mobilized as the general strategic mobile force, and in this way, the entire northern war situation will be completely alive. ”

Writing this, Liu Bei pondered for a long time, threw his pen and gave up, reasoning, after taking over the entire territory of Youzhou, he should talk about the treatment of Gongsun Zhan, but for this stubborn brother, Liu Bei can't do it, but he always has some scruples, let them deal with it.

Closing the letter he had just written, Liu Bei picked up the fourth piece of information and continued to read: The strange Qingzhou soldiers who suddenly appeared in Pingyang County, Sili, have now been ascertained to be Liu Zhou's armed caravan sent by Liu Bei to Longxi a year ago to find the new steelmaking method (Ma Gang). After a year of trekking and searching, they finally found the Magang Fabricator near Majiayao, this new type of steel is extremely light in weight, extremely tough, very elastic, and the arm of the bow and crossbow can greatly improve the firing range and accuracy, at present, these people have been placed in Taishan County.

"Axles, using hemp steel as axles can greatly improve the efficiency of some tools and equipment, and they should be reminded that they don't always have to think about the military, civilian production can get a lot of money to support continuous technological updates." Liu Bei muttered. "I should also ask them to send me a pedal lathe, and I will have nothing to do in the winter, so I can ponder the rigging of the galleon."

After the arrival of the Great Qin merchants, it was imminent to sail to Rome. It took three years to prepare, accumulate strength on land to defeat the Xiongnu, build a large fleet on the route and sail to the South Seas, so that Zheng He's feat of going to the West was advanced by 1,200 years, and show the West the power of our Han Dynasty and participate in the action of dividing up the world, which is the next five-year plan.

In the last part of this letter, the newly established intelligence department talked about the news they had heard about the Xiongnu, and the right Xiongnu department suffered heavy casualties in the battle with Liu Bei. Before the Jiexiu small village offensive and defensive battle, the Huns suffered nearly 20,000 casualties, and after they entered the camp, the fire was raging, after the explosion, more than 4,000 people were killed, more than 20,000 people were burned, and then, nearly 10,000 people were seriously injured and died, in this battle, the right Huns lost more than one-third of their troops. The Left Xiongnu took advantage of the situation and rose to power.

However, Yu Fuluo had already shown signs of peace talks, and decent people contacted the officials of Shangdang County, hoping to make peace with Liu Bei.

"No forgiveness!" Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said, this is a life-and-death battle, the epidemic prevention facilities in this era are not perfect, after the Zuo Xiongnu released the epidemic horse, what awaits them is their own fate of being infected. In the edict of Luntai, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once rebuked the Xiongnu and said that those who harm others will be killed

After the Xiongnu released the plagued horses, they were the first to be infected.

"The west bank of the Fen River is already an epidemic area, and I am waiting to slowly tighten their noose, make peace? Go to hell. Liu Bei said viciously.
