The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest ocean in the world, in an "S" shape, and is divided into the North Atlantic and the South Atlantic Ocean by the equator.

The Atlantic Ocean is a long way from north to south, so it has a variety of climates, from the polar climate of Greenland in the north to the tropical desert or rainforest climate of West Africa and Brazil.

In Europe, North America, and the seas south of Brazil and the Gulf of Guinea, there are perennial high winds and waves.

These are all common sense, Yang Xi has already written them into the book "Geography", and he also specially explained to Lu Dazhi.

At this time, Lu Dazhi just implemented the plan given by Yang Xi.

The equatorial region of the Atlantic Ocean is the narrowest in width, and the shortest distance is only about 2,000 kilometers.

Lu Dazhi and others took out the map and began to plan their itinerary, preparing to cross the Atlantic.

If you are lucky, the shortest distance from South America to West Africa is more than 2,000 kilometers, and it will take more than ten days. However, there was no accurate instrument for calculating the direction at this time, and there was a possibility of error just by visually inspecting the compass.

It is the safest way that Yang Xi gave is to sail eastward, always docking, and after docking, it will continue to sail south, sailing along the coast, bypassing a huge long coastline, and when the direction needs to go north, it is around the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa.

Again, this is a major coordinate on Earth.

As long as you know where you are, you'll find your way home.

Yang Xi didn't know that the canal from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean had been opened at this time, otherwise he would have told Lu Dazhi to let him go north.

Let's talk about Yizhou, Yizhou is okay on the surface, and the two families coexist peacefully.

Qiqi County, and Lancheng, Sun Quan is extremely troubled.

The population of Yizhou is not much, Liu Bei occupies the plains, and he only occupies the southern mountains, which is sparsely populated, and the total population is only more than one million.

And how can the more than one million people in this mountainous area raise more than 100,000 military horses?

Sun Quan then discussed with Lu Su and others how to solve the matter, some suggested raising taxes, and others suggested that the soldiers and horses should be abolished.

Sun Quan finally asked Lu Su, and Lu Su said: "It is not advisable to raise the tax rate, the people in my land are not as rich as Ba County, Shu County and other places, and now if the lord raises the tax rate again, I am afraid that the people will not be able to live." As for the removal of military horses, it is even more difficult. There are Yonghong and Meng Weiping in the southwest, Liu Bei in the north, and Jiaozhou Ancient Road in the southeast, which needs to be guarded by soldiers and horses, and more than 100,000 troops and horses are overstretched, so how to talk about removal. ”

"It's not okay to levy taxes, it's not okay to disarm, so dare to ask Zijing, but what should I do?" Some people just can't stand it.

Lu Su arched his hand to the north and said: "Borrow!" ”

"Borrow?" This time, everyone is a little confused, in this era, borrowing is equal to grabbing, built on the basis of strength, if it is said to borrow for free, then who has such a good heart.

Lu Su continued: "Outside of Yizhou today, Yang Xi is strong, Cao Cao is rising, if Yizhou unites the forces of the two families and strengthens the danger of mountains and rivers, it can still temporarily stabilize the situation. If you reach out to Chengdu to borrow grain, you can solve your urgent needs, but you may succeed. ”

Sun Quan said: "Then this envoy has a hard time, but he asks Zijing to work hard." ”

"My lord, please rest assured, the two families are good in marriage today, and they are dependent on each other, and there must not be much resistance to borrowing food, so I will do my best to do this!"

Lu Su said goodbye to Qiqi County, and with the ardent expectations of the Sun family, he went north to Luo County.

At this moment, the Sun family, among the princes of the world, can no longer be regarded as a powerful party.

In Wu County, thousands of miles away from Qiqi County, Sun Shao, the son of Sun Ce, was learning something in the classroom.

Yang Xi knew that Sun Shao had arrived in Huang Zhong's camp, and he personally ordered someone to escort him to Wu County to meet him.

Seeing Sun Shao, Yang Xi couldn't help but sigh that Sun Ce was a hero, but he didn't want his entire short life to fall into the calculations of other people's conspiracies, and he didn't know until he died.

Yang Xi arranged Sun Shao to study in Shanghai, starting from scratch, and now it has been more than half a year.

Sun Shao studied very hard and experienced hardships, which always made it easier for people to mature.

Studying day and night, this fifteen-year-old boy entered a state of madness.

Every day when the sun rises, Sun Shao begins to train physically, which often takes an hour longer than others. After entering the morning class, Sun Shao only gave himself a half-hour lunch break, and then began to train various skills.

This state, compared to Yang Xilai back then, is not much stronger at all.

Hatred brings madness.

Sun Shao's goal for himself is to be admitted to the Military Academy of Chenhe University within one year.

It must be the best, otherwise he will not be able to avenge his father and his revenge for being hunted down and killed in his lifetime.

Sun Shao didn't know that all his data was on Yang Xi's desk, and after half a year of observation, Yang Xi was very satisfied with Sun Shao.

Even Yang Xi personally went to detect his data, fifteen years old, 91 data, this is simply catching up with Sun Ce back then.

Sun Ce was 97 at the age of eighteen, and 98 when he was assassinated, and it is estimated that within a year or two, he can enter the realm of 99.

Sun Shao inherited Sun Ce, although all parties were suppressed by Sun Quan, but the martial arts did not fall behind, and Yang Xi was quite satisfied.

Regarding Sun Shao's matter, Sun Quan was like a fish in his throat, and he found out where Sun Shao went, and when he learned that he was studying in Shanghai, he was in a dilemma for a while.

After thinking about it for a few days, he still sent the shadow around him, and Oolongzi personally infiltrated Shanghai City.

Oolongzi infiltrated Shanghai City, and after figuring out Sun Shao's rules, he formulated an assassination plan.

But today's Sun Shao is no longer the small role that can be slaughtered, but an important talent with a backstage.

In the end, Oolongzi inexplicably entered the black prison and faced a harsh trial.

Oolongzi's interrogation was in the secret base of the secret service group, and it was not made public, but the amount of information obtained was extremely large.

Yang Xi did not kill Oolongzi on the spot, but secretly imprisoned him in case he could come in handy in the future.

Besides, when Lu Su entered Luo County, he met Sun Gan first, and did not explain his intention, but only said that he wanted to see Liu Bei, and Sun Qian arranged him into the reception.

When Liu Bei learned that Lu Su was coming, he immediately prepared to meet him, but was stopped by Kong Ming.

"My lord! This time, Lu Su came suddenly, but the lord was not suitable to see each other for the time being. ”

"Why not? Now we are talking to each other, but we should communicate more. Liu Bei was puzzled.

Zhuge Liang said: "The lord can know that although he Sun Quan has more than 100,000 soldiers, but he occupies all barren land, where can he collect so much grain and grass and military salaries. ”

Only then did Liu Bei remember that Sun Quan's soldiers and horses were not local soldiers and horses in Yizhou, and so many soldiers from outside wanted to be fed by Yizhou, which naturally broke the balance here.

If Yizhou could really raise so many soldiers and horses, Liu Zhang would have been recruited a long time ago, and he might not have ended up like this, and now he would have to work under Liu Bei.

"How's that for good? This Lu Su came to borrow grain, but it was not good not to borrow, but I Chengdu due to the war with Yang Xi, this year is also stretched, if I borrow grain, I am afraid that I will have to starve, if I do not borrow, but I am afraid that the righteousness of the alliance will be hurt. ”

Kong Ming shook his feather fan and said: "This grain, borrowing is to borrow, but it can't be borrowed in vain, if it is borrowed in vain, then wouldn't it be up to me to provide grain for its army?" It is the lord who should also ask for some benefits. Now Yang Xi from the south of the county to build a highway, has been through to Zigui County, and from Zigui County to the west extended forty or fifty miles, is expected next year, the highway can be built to Shuzhong. It is better for the lord to send troops into the forest and disrupt the Yang Xi project as a condition, and borrow grain to tide over the difficulties. ”

Liu Bei nodded, and suddenly felt that a big deal had been solved.

If Sun Quan sent troops to harass Yang Xi, it would be a loss of soldiers and horses, and it had nothing to do with him, and he could block Yang Xi's land route into Shu.

To tell the truth, Liu Bei is really afraid that once the highway is built, the land and water will go hand in hand, and Shuzhong will become a smooth road.
