The north wind is strong, the ship is very fast, but in two days and one night, the fleet arrived from Luxian County to the Bohai County under the jurisdiction of Youzhou, and then go south, it is the jurisdiction of Cao Cao Qingzhou, in order to avoid contact with Cao Cao as much as possible, so the whole team docked at the last Youzhou Xinyang ferry in the sphere of influence of the Bohai Sea, for a big supply, after that, everyone had to nest in the boat, until out of Cao Cao's sphere of influence, arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River before it was safe.

At this time, Xinyang was not later inland, because the impact surface of the Yellow River has not yet been formed, so Xinyang is close to the sea, due to the development of commerce in the north and south, it has naturally become a ferry, and the main reason for the formation is that in recent years, the good relationship between Lu Peng and Cao Cao, the materials transported to Cao Cao's jurisdiction over Qingzhou and other places in the north are all transferred here, and then here, or there are sea ships replaced by inland river boats, and then go north along the Yellow River, directly to Cao Cao's henchman, and because of this, It became a transportation hub for the two forces, and it flourished for a while.

However, such a so-called transportation hub has a huge aftermath, that is, it is formed because of the form, and it will also fall due to the situation, that is, what later generations said is because of the rise and fall of policies.

For example, now, because it was in the quasi-war stage with Cao Cao, Youzhou began to impose a trade war against Cao Cao, imposing a strict embargo, and many materials became prohibited goods, such as steel, furs, etc., which were absolutely not allowed to be transported into Cao Cao's territory. As a result, Cao Cao's sales of materials and commodities were limited to fine wine, vermicelli, and some things that could not be used in war, so that the materials exported to Cao Cao in the entire north were greatly reduced, so this originally prosperous dock town immediately became depressed.

Taking advantage of the time when the fleet was buying grain, vegetables and other things, Lu Peng and others, who had vomited a lot of meat and vegetables, hurriedly abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, reviewed the down-to-earth feeling, and at the same time, enjoyed a good meal in the restaurant on land. After eating this meal, when the next meal can be eaten, it depends on the wind and luck, and now, Lu Peng has a deep luxury of sitting on the ground and eating a solid meal.

As a result, the group had just gotten off the boat, and Xu Jie, with his sharp nose, immediately felt that something was wrong on this dock, quietly approached Lu Peng, and whispered to him: "Lord, if you look over there, something seems to be wrong." ”

What's wrong? Lu Peng followed Xu Jie's eyes and looked to the left.

In the place next to his fleet, there was also a fleet of ships of considerable size, but the fleets were of different sizes, and there were all kinds of them, and at first glance they were not composed of a family, and there was no one walking on the ship, quietly, as if it were a netherworld.

Lu Peng frowned and observed carefully, and at this time Xu Jie reminded beside him: "Didn't you see that the boat had too deep draft?" ”

Lu Peng took a closer look at the waterline of the fleet, and it was indeed the case. His own fleet was carrying supplies for Liu Bei, the main ones were steel knives and ordinary arrow clusters from the Savage Valley, as well as steel coins were all honest goods, and the draft was already very deep, and that team was not shallower than his own draft.

Looking like himself, this time in order to win over Liu Bei, but also to strengthen Liu Bei's strength, it can be said that he has invested blood, so that Liu Bei can have the strength to confront Cao Cao, not like history, he was beaten by Cao Cao, lost his wife and children for the fifth time, and made a fiasco in Changbanpo. In this history, Liu Bei has lost Zhao Yun, the number one thug in the world, and it is impossible to save Adou from seven in and seven out, and when the time comes, after Liu Bei is gone, there will be no so-called Three Kingdoms.

Now Lu Peng is very unconfident in his heart, the Three Kingdoms are familiar with themselves, and the reason why he can survive in this world is to rely on the traverser's familiarity with history, and every step is ahead of history.

In order to make up for robbing Liu Bei's No. 1 thug Zhao Yun, in order to simply not let Changbanpo appear again, to put it bluntly, that is, to let Liu Bei have a descendant of Adou, and for the sake of his son's future, let him continue to fight with Cao **, so this time Lu Peng is considered to have made a bloody investment, in his 50 big ships, his own unique spear head, he brought him 100,000, and the best Savage Valley Steel Knife brought him 20,000. And the most important thing is that the steel coins that can make Liu Bei continue to persist in raising soldiers, Lu Peng loaded him with a full billion dollars.

One billion yuan is equal to 1/4 of the income of the entire court when Emperor Ling of the original Han Dynasty.

With this huge batch of enviable aid, not only can he immediately gain Liu Bei's favor for himself, but the most important thing is to enhance his strength and make him have a qualitative leap in strength, so that he can be entangled with Cao Cao for a while longer, so that he can get more time to breathe.

Whether it is in this world or that world, the white wolf with empty gloves is simply unrealistic. As the saying goes, if you don't pay, you don't have income.

And he was loaded with these heavy goods, and the draft line of the entire fleet only reached the full line, but looking at the team opposite, although the ships were not unified, and there were all kinds of variety, but the waterline of each ship exceeded the normal waterline, if at this time, Lu Peng could not see anything greasy in it, then he would be an idiot.

"Your brocade guards don't eat dry rice for nothing, right?" Lu Peng whispered to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie was a little wronged: "We are sailing on the sea, and it is inconvenient for carrier pigeons to come and go, so there are some obstacles in the communication of news, besides, now the management of Jinyiwei has been handed over to Mrs. Cai, and I don't care, but it doesn't matter, I immediately contacted the local Jinyiwei to find out what is wrong with this team." After saying that, he stood there and thought for a while, and then immediately hurried away alone.

Lu Peng looked at Xu Jie, who was hurrying away, and called a guard squad leader beside me: "Take your subordinates immediately, follow Mr. Xu Jie, you listen to me, you can't reveal your identity this time, in this place where the two forces meet, it is inevitable that the fish and dragons will be mixed, if Mr. Xu Jie loses a hair, all ten of you will replace me with human heads." ”

The squad leader immediately bowed solemnly: "Our head is not more important than a single hair of Mr. Xu, please rest assured, I will definitely protect Mr. Xu." Then he waved his hand behind him, and ten shrewd and capable subordinates immediately followed him and chased him towards the place where Mr. Xu Jie had disappeared.

Lu Peng stood on the dock for a moment, and then said to Liu Chu, who was following closely behind: "It seems that this wine can only be drunk by you and me." ”
