Chapter 80: Leaving Donglai to Seek Tai Shi Ci
Yang Xi did not go by land like them.
He had already checked it, and when the time came, the princes of the Eighteenth Route would meet the alliance at Bishui Pass, which was on the edge of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, only a few dozen kilometers away from Luoyang.
At this time, the lower reaches of the Yellow River are the northern shipping channels, and there is no formation of the above-ground river, and the shipping conditions are OK.
Liu Xiang couldn't have imagined that Yang Xi had just left on his front foot, and he would sail away on his back foot.
The Yangtze River fleet consisted of the Yangtze River, a giant ship with 15 Chenhe, and Wei Gua, the commander of the guard battalion, led 1,500 guards to escort it.
The Yangtze River fleet was full of grain and grass, and more than 3,000 military horses were enough.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Yangtze River fleet arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, so it docked to replenish fresh water and prepare for a long voyage at sea.
Sea navigation is not so simple, although the ship is on the Yangtze River, it can still be the king and hegemon, once it enters the sea, it is not so comfortable.
Stop-and-stop along the way, resupplying along the way, until February, arrived in Dongnae County. In fact, Yang Xi had already reserved time, even if he sailed on the sea for two or three months, he would be able to arrive, and he would definitely be earlier than Sun Jian.
Sun Jian wants to kill Liu Rui, but also to kill Zhang Shi, pass through Nanyang County, and go to Luyang, and join Yuan Shu, even if he has fought a battle with himself, history has changed, but when the time is calculated, it should take two or three months.
Since he arrived in Donglaijun, Yang Xi naturally wanted to visit someone, and that person was the future Sun Ce's general Tai Shici.
Tai Shici's hometown is in the countryside of Huang County, Donglai County, and he was not born, he was twenty-three or four years old at this time, and he was famous in the township because of his bravery, but he did not become an official.
Officials at all levels in Huangxian County are controlled by the family, and it is too difficult for Tai Shici to find a way out, but he doesn't want to plow the fields and farm all day, so he gathered more than a dozen fellow villagers and prepared to join the army.
Originally, according to the normal route, Tai Shici had not yet joined the army, and the county order of Huangxian County would recruit him into the county, and later he also made the history of the county.
But that was two years later.
Yang Xi checked the information, and no longer hesitated, and when the fleet arrived at the coast of Huang County in Donglai County on February 20, he stopped the ship to replenish the ship, and by the way, in the name of Wang Mastiff to ask for Dong, he sent a message to Huang County, asking for food.
When Huang County is the county of Donglai, Donglai Taishou is Cai Boqi, I heard that Yuzhang Taishou actually drove a boat from Yangzhou, which lasted two and a half months before arriving in Donglai, so he admired it very much, and led officials at all levels in the county to greet him.
Three thousand military horses disembarked, all in silver armor, and Yang Xi and Cai Kao Zulang personally led the way and marched slowly to Huang County.
When he saw the county seat of Huangxian County, Cai Boqi had already led the county soldiers and government officials to greet him.
Wang Mastiff was originally a Han general and had some fame, but when Cai Boqi looked at it, he only found three young generals, so he asked forward.
Yang Xi and the three hurriedly dismounted, first saluted, and then took out the official documents and private letters of the Wang Mastiff that had been prepared a long time ago.
This is universal, no matter who the other party is, anyway, the request is convenient.
Yang Xi said while handing over the official document: "Lord Wang Mastiff, the Taishou of this county, has been bedridden on the boat due to his long-term boating, so he ordered the young general to act on his behalf. ”
Cai Boqi does not doubt that he has him, after all, after more than two months of sailing at sea, for people who are not at sea for a long time, they have to shed their skin if they don't die.
So he ordered the three armies to camp on the spot, and Cai Bo ordered the government officials to arrange food, kill chickens and slaughter sheep.
Yang Xi ordered someone to carry out Chenhe wine, which was full of twenty or thirty jars, and began to advertise.
At this time, the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, although some people have heard of it, but this Donglai is thousands of miles away from Jiangxia, and no one has tasted this kind of liquor.
In this banquet, dozens of people are basically the agents of the Donglai family in the government, and Yang Xi presented three jars of liquor and a set of other products such as Chenhe paper, and these officials were all smiling.
Cai Boqi shouted that Yang Xi was bold, and even the gatekeepers were not stingy at all.
Drunk, Cai Boqi said: "The little general of this county is young, but he is so well versed in the world, he must be the queen of everyone, right?" ”
That's the bottom line.
Yang Xi naturally has no need to hide it.
"That's not it, the young general is just a businessman, named Yang Xi, opened Chenhe Port in Jiangxia, and had some dealings with Wang Taishou in Yuzhang County, so he became a friend, this time I heard that Dong Zhuo was in chaos, a deep evil, so he asked Taishou for orders, and begged for thieves with the army, and was trusted by Lord Wang, but he took on the responsibility of acting as an agent."
These government officials are all knowledgeable, and when they heard Yang Xi's words, they suddenly sighed and sighed, some praised Yang Xi's righteousness, called him bold, and some called him young and handsome.
These people have all heard of Yang Xi's reputation.
Cai Boqi said: "But it turned out that Yang Chenhe, the god of killing in Jiangxi, arrived, disrespectful and disrespectful, but this county thought who would be so bold, come and come, this county respects all the sergeants and soldiers." ”
Yang Xi saw that the time had come, so he drank a bottle and said casually: "The young general has a small matter, please ask Lord Taishou to help!" ”
Cai Bo didn't want to think about it and said, "But it's okay to say it." ”
Yang Xidao: "The ancestor of the young general, originally also a person from the north, and then went to the south, but the ancestor was more nostalgic for the hometown characters, more than ten years ago, I accidentally heard about the descendants of the deceased, settled in Huangxian County, the descendants of the deceased have a son, called Tai Shi Ci, the word Ziyi, I don't know if the Taishou can help the young general find this person, but it is good but the ancestors will wish. ”
When Cai Boqi heard it, what is this, just looking for someone, in Huang County, as long as he did not conceal his household registration, he would find out in one day, so he agreed.
On the second day, Cai Boqi ordered the government officials to find out where Tai Shici was, and sure enough, he found a person named Tai Shici in Huangcheng Township, so he immediately asked people to summon him.
He continued to eat and drink with Yang Xi and others, and Yang Xi took advantage of this to reach a trade agreement with Cai Boqi, and proposed that Donglai County establish a seaport on the coast of Huang County.
Who knew that Cai Boqi looked embarrassed.
"General Yang, don't you know, although I have a large number of people in Donglai, and the county has a population of more than 500,000, it is actually poor, and it is really difficult to do such things as building a port, which costs the people and money."
As soon as Yang Xi heard that there was a play, this guy didn't want to, he also wanted to drink his own Chenhe wine, the problem was that there was no money and food to squander, if he forcibly recruited people, but he would insult his reputation, this opportunity would come.
"If the adults are worried about this, the young general can solve it, if not, as long as the adults allocate a good port to my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce is responsible for paying for the people, and will definitely establish this port, and the adults do not need to worry about it."
Hearing that Yang Xi was willing to pay money and people, and only needed to pay for the land of a port, Cai Boqi's eyes lit up.
This kind of bay, Donglai County to be more or less.
And so the deal was reached.
The next day, Yang Xi, a government official, conducted surveys on various beaches, and Yang Xi decided to directly establish Donglai Port in the later Longkou Port after comparing ancient and modern maps, as a base for the northern coast.
