"Spring came, the snow melted, the seeds sprouted, the fruit trees blossomed, we came to the river, we came to the fields, we came to the hills, we found spring."

It's not about word counting.

This is a primary school somewhere in Guangling County, and the sound of reading aloud comes from the school building.

A homeless man leaned against the corner of the wall outside the school, listening stupidly, staring blankly, and muttering.

"I have come all the way, and after more than a month, I have seen fifty or sixty such schools, almost one in every township, large and small. In this way, after a few years, will there be no doubtful people in the southern land? If everyone in the world can read and write, how terrible is it? ”

This homeless man is none other than him, he has a terrifying name, Jia Xu.

"Hello students!"

"Hello teacher!"

"Sit down! Today, in this lesson, we will learn addition, let's look at a question: Suppose Cao Mengde has ten pens, Guo Jia took one and gave Jia Xu three, which student knows, how many pens does Cao Mengde have? ”

"The student who raised his hand, please answer."

"Report to the teacher, Cao Mengde still has six pens in his hand!"

Jia Xu fell over in the corner.

Thousands of miles away from here, Lujiang County.

The war gradually subsided, Cao Cao fled north, and joined the generals and Ruyin military horses, except for Guo Jia.

In a farmhouse in Tatexian County, Guo Jia was lying quietly on the couch, his eyes were closed, but his brain was running non-stop.

The accompanying sergeants had already retreated, and Guo Jia was also informed of the battle.

Sure enough, as he expected, Yang Xi did not pursue, and did not send a naval army to intercept above Huaishui.

What is this Yang Xi trying to do?

Everyone thought that Guo Jia was terminally ill, and even carried it back, they were afraid of moving his vitality.

In the end, Yang Xi sent people to see, and it is said that he also invited Zhang Zhongjing, the governor of Changsha, from Changsha County.

Guo Jia can't figure out many things, but he wants to understand it very much, so far, Guo Jia doesn't think that there is anything in the world that he can't figure out.

Guo Jia was thinking about it, there was a noise outside, and Guo Jia pretended to be asleep.

It was Yang Xi who came in, and it was really Zhang Zhongjing who came with him.

Yang Xidao: "Lao Zhang, you can take a look, this person's name is Guo Jia, the military advisor around Cao Mengde sacrificed wine, he was not in good health, he was drenched in the rain for the past two days, and he didn't know what kind of illness he had." ”

Zhang Zhongjing walked over, rolled his eyes, rolled his mouth again, and finally checked his pulse.

At this time, it stands to reason that I should wake up, but I'm embarrassed to wake up, how embarrassing it is to wake up.

"What's the problem?" Yang Xi was eager.

Zhang Zhongjing thought about it for a long time, analyzed it in various ways, and finally said: "His body is overconsumed, and his physical fitness is very poor, but this is not the key, the key is that the lungs are diseased, if he is so overtired, he can only live for three or four years, and now this typhoid fever is afraid that it will aggravate his condition, if he is not treated in time, it will be within ten days." ”

Yang Xi sighed and said, "Try your best to save him, Lao Zhang, when he gets better, ask someone to carry him onto the rail car and transport him back to Jiangxia for further treatment." ”

"Good!"

Yang Xi glanced back, with a complicated mood, this Guo Jia should have died in three or four years, but at this moment, because of the war, his life span was shortened by a few years, then Cao Cao attacked Wuhuan, but it was difficult, without Guo Jia's proposal to travel lightly and quickly, Cao Cao wanted to take Wuhuan and solve the problem of Wuhuan with hundreds of thousands of people and more than 100,000 troops, how difficult it was.

Ruyin, Cao Ying.

Since returning to Runan, Cao Cao has been in a bad mood.

The loss of more than 10,000 men and horses, the annihilation of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and the news of the defeat of Jia Xu had to be judged, which was completely unfavorable.

According to the report, Guo Jia had already coughed up blood and was dying, and Cao Cao's heart was even more severe.

Zhongwen Wu knew that Cao Cao's heart was ill, and he didn't dare to say more, Cao Cao said: "I am newly defeated today, but my strength still exists, do you want to continue to go south?" ”

Xun Yu said: "At this time, it is meaningless to go south, the Huiji uprising has been suppressed, and Sun Quan has withdrawn." Jiangxia Liu Bei was defeated again, and he didn't dare to go south, Yang Xi's army and horses were dispatched too quickly, and all parts of the country were supported, but it was not the time to use troops. ”

Cao Cao saw that no one suggested entering the army, so he had to announce his retreat, leaving Zhang He with 10,000 horses to guard Runan, and led the troops back to Xudu.

In March, the Strait of Malacca, now the Wuchang Strait.

The weather was sunny and cloudless.

After almost three months of sailing, the legendary Wuchang Island is ahead.

Tian Cong went to sea so far for the first time, Dong Cai took this into account, and told him along the way about overseas customs and primitive tribes.

Tian Cong said: "Dong Cai, I have a question. ”

Dong Cai said: "I have a lot of questions, this world is too surprising. ”

Tian Cong said: "I'm not joking with you, this is a serious question, you said that Gongzi has never been far away, I met Gongzi when I was seven years old, when he was only thirteen or fourteen, and you and I both know what happened later, but why does Gongzi know so much about overseas, even Wuchang Island, Wuchang Strait, and the situation of merging all the way over, don't you think it's strange?" ”

Dong Cai said: "Twenty years ago, I knew Gongzi, and I felt strange at that time, it has been strange for 20 years, I don't think it's strange, I think there is nothing in the world that Gongzi doesn't know, even the things in heaven, Gongzi knows." What we have to do is believe! If there were no such strangeness, the world would probably be a different place, and the son would change the world with his own strength, which is stranger than anything. ”

Tian Cong nodded, and someone cheered overheard: "Wuchang Island has arrived!" Look, there is Wuchang Island ahead! ”

Many of the ship's guards who had been here with Dong Cai began to tell the story.

This is not so much an island as it is a continent, and when you look at it at this time, you can see that it is full of green trees, and there are many low mountains and trees, so it is not beautiful.

Tian Cong took a deep breath and thought to himself, this is the place I want to build in the future, and I will definitely live up to the trust of my son and build this place well.

Dong Cai knew the topography of the island for a long time, and led the fleet to the east of the island, which was conducive to building a port, and the city would be built here. And if a tower is built here, ships coming from the Indian Ocean will be the first to be discovered, and if a tower is built on both continents, the strait will be under surveillance.

From this moment on, the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce is equivalent to declaring its sovereignty here.

There were more than 110,000 people on the island, including 40,000 immigrants, 20,000 Thunder Legion and 50,000 construction workers.

According to Yang Xi's instructions, Lei Zi immediately placed the army on the island, advanced step by step, and first subdued the local natives by force.

The island's natives, young and old, add up to 30,000 or 40,000 people at the moment, all of whom make a living from fishing or hunting in the mountains and forests, which is a real primitive tribe.

With primitive people, there is no human rights to talk about, first arrest all of them, and then domesticate training, which is the first step.

The vigorous Wuchang Island construction movement began in 204.

Yang Xi's plan for this place is to build three large cities, and the first phase of the project is to build Wuchang Island City on Wuchang Island, and at the same time build fortifications on several nearby islands.

The second phase of the project is to build two port cities across the sea on both sides of the continent, and conquer the indigenous populations of both continents at the same time.

This is no longer colonization, but aggression.
