Merchant ships ride the wind and waves and sail the vast seas. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the late summer of June, the waters of the Liaodong Peninsula have revealed a touch of coolness. A black dragon flag was planted on the sea ship, indicating that it was a merchant ship from the mainland. Generally speaking, in this sea area, Cao Wei has almost no opponents. What can compete with it is the Jiangdong Water Army. However, the Jiangdong Navy is better at fighting on the big river, and its combat effectiveness at sea is relatively weak......

This is also related to the direction of the Jiangdong Naval Army.

Sun Quan hopes to be in a corner of peace, both of which are advantageous in the southeast, and compete with Cao Cao with the great river moat. Therefore, after he took over Jiangdong, he vigorously promoted the policy of building the army with Xiao Kuailing to facilitate the battle on the river.

And this policy coincided with Zhou Yu, and the two soon reached a unity.

This is also a reason for the rapid development of the Jiangdong Navy after Sun Quan took charge of Jiangdong. Due to the change in the policy of army building, He Qi, who had advocated the big ship policy in the early days, was also put aside.

There are many factors for Heqi to be idle.

Although Sun Quan's attitude towards Sun Quan was a factor, Sun Quan's change in the policy of army building was also a factor.

Over the past 10 years, the Jiangdong Navy has formed a powerful combat force on the river.

At least for now, the Jiangdong Navy is definitely in a hegemonic position and dominates the river. Although Cao Cao ordered Gan Ning to serve as the governor of the navy, with Du Ji as his assistant, he stabilized the situation and contained the Jiangdong navy. But on the whole, Cao Wei's navy is still lagging behind, and can only be passively defensive.

Maybe in a few more years, three or five years? Even longer, Cao Wei, with his strong economic capabilities, was able to salvage the situation.

However, for the time being, it is not enough to compete with the Jiangdong naval army.

However, there must be a disadvantage for every benefit.

While the Jiangdong Navy is carrying out small and fast spirit in all directions, its control over the sea area is relatively weak.

Cao Cao's establishment of the Tanglin Island Navy on Tanglin Island was to implement the principle of paying equal attention to the big and small.

Especially after Kan Ze, Jiang Wan, Zhang Song and others arrived in Guangling, combined with Cao Peng's suggestion, Kan Ze set the level of the ship. The 800-person giant building ship is a 'giant high-end' sea vessel. The ship has five tiers and can accommodate 1,000 people, making it suitable for coastal navigation; The 500-person ship is the 'Mengde class', which can be used for both military and commercial purposes, and the 300-person ship is the 'Jian'an class', which is mainly suitable for the sea and can also travel on the river. The Jian'an-class building ship is also the main equipment of the Dongting Lake Naval Army.

Under Jian'an, there were also ships suitable for one hundred and fifty people, respectively in the Xijing and Dongdu classes.

In addition, there are still ten people with a boat, widely equipped.

Now in Dongting Lake, the navy is equipped with 80 Sojian'an-class ships, 300 Xijing-class and 800 Dongdu-class, and more than 1,000 ships; On Tanglin Island, it is a combination of formations. There are 10 giant high-class ships and 30 Mengde-class ships...... But the rest of the third-class ships are relatively weak. But it is enough for the water army of Tanglin Island to dominate the coast.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhou Cang has gained a firm foothold on Tanglin Island and has also strengthened its patrols along the coast.

The sea area of Liaodong Peninsula is far away from Tanglin Island.

But overall, it's safe.

"Brother, when can we get to Lonely Bamboo City?"

On the sea boat, Cao Nian was full of interest, took a young man's hand, and asked with interest.

The young man, who was in his early twenties, smiled and said softly, "The prince doesn't need to be in a hurry, at this rate, he will be able to arrive at Lonely Bamboo City by tomorrow morning at the latest." If the prince is tired, go and sleep for a while. When it was almost time, I was calling the son of the world to get up. At that time, the prince of the world will be able to reunite with Daduhu! ”

"Brother, what does Daddy look like?"

"He's tall and he's majestic."

"Then my brother and my father have met?"

The young man's face showed a confused look, and after a while, he said softly: "I have indeed seen it, but I am not very familiar with it." ”

"That's ......"

Cao Nian couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Cao Peng sent a letter to see Cao Nian.

It's a pity that Lu Lan can't get out for the time being, so he had to send someone to take advantage of a merchant ship to return to Liaoxi to carry Cao Nian over. There were about 300 people accompanying him, all of whom were soldiers of the trapping camp who accompanied the Lu family overseas that year.

In the past, there were only more than 300 people alive today.

Although he is a little older, his combat effectiveness is getting stronger and stronger.

It's just that these traps are rarely on the battlefield. Gao Shun's elite army policy is no longer suitable for the current Lu Han Kingdom. From the twelfth year of Jian'an, the Han Kingdom of the Lü clan learned from Cao Peng's policy in Hexi and began to implement the government soldier system. As a result, there were more and more soldiers, and they gradually eliminated the traps.

—————— strongly despise cyber piracy and copying dogs————————

However, for the Lu family, although the trap is eliminated, it is still very good.

This time Cao Nian went to see Cao Peng, Lu Lan thought about it, and decided to go out to protect Cao Nian's safety.

In addition to more than 300 traps, there was also Prime Minister Lu Han, a person named Zhou Fu.

This Zhou Fu is the original time when Lu Lan was brought to Lu Han from Xu Du, the Zhou Budo who lost his memory. However, the name of Zhou Budo has long been abandoned, and his name has been changed to Zhou Fu, and the character is straight. Zhou Fu's memory, after several years of recuperation, still shows no signs of improvement. If it is described in the special terms of later generations, Zhou Fu's situation should be similar to obsessive amnesia. It was Zhou Fu himself who was unwilling to recall the past and deliberately avoided it. And as time went on, this subconscious compulsion became more and more severe, and even he didn't know it. But in other respects, it seems normal.

Especially in terms of knowledge, Zhou Fu gradually recovered.

As Pu Yang Min's assistant, he gave many excellent suggestions, and even won Lu Lan's trust.

Standing on the deck, Zhou Budo looked out to sea.

He had no memory of the past at all. But for Cao Peng, he has a very deep memory.

That's his brother!

But I feel that his brother seems to have some scruples about him.

Zhou Fu also didn't know what the reason was. Anyway, when he heard Cao Peng's name, he instinctively had a fear in his heart, or rather, a kind of awe. Scratching his head, Zhou Fu couldn't understand the reason for this. He was about to return to the cabin to rest, when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Not good, pirates!" ”

Pirate?

Zhou Fu shuddered, and hurriedly ran to the edge of the ship's deck and raised his eyes to look.

But on the horizon, several dark shadows appeared.

It's fast, and it's rapidly approaching the upload......

"Liaodong squid!"

When the sailors on the ship saw the flag on the pirate ship, they couldn't help but let out a cry of horror. Zhou Fu's face suddenly became a little difficult to look at. With a frown, he turned his head and ordered: "Pass the order down and prepare for the confrontation." ”

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as piracy.

People use the term 'pirates' to refer to those who rob homes and houses at sea. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, pirates have been banned repeatedly. Because the sea is vast, it is difficult to encircle and suppress, and people, including those elites, do not have a concept of 'coastal defense', so they are quite helpless against pirates.

There are generally two ways to deal with pirates.

Suppression and caressing.

These are the two most commonly used strategies nowadays.

However, 'suppression' is more about luring pirates from the sea to the land and then encircling and suppressing them. It worked at first. However, as the number of times the pirates suffered losses and were deceived, they gradually changed from simply landing and plundering to plundering merchant ships at sea and selling the stolen goods through some channels on land.

This also makes it much more difficult to eliminate pirates.

Fu, is mostly for some pirates who are willing to be appeased.

For example, Guan Cheng, he originally had some skills, but later had to become a sea thief, so he was appeased by Cao Cao. Historically, there were also Haixi thieves who were eliminated by Cao Peng in the early days. They were originally appeased by Chen Deng, but now, they died at the hands of Cao Peng. After all, appeasement can only be used as an auxiliary means, and cannot completely change the situation. Until the formation of the western pattern of the sea, Zhou Cang was entrusted by Cao Peng to strengthen the maritime patrol. At the same time, because of the funding of the Lu Han Kingdom, the sea market became more and more prosperous, and the theory of coastal defense gradually came to pass. But this kind of coastal defense is more of an unconscious behavior, and has not yet really formed a concept.

Although the establishment of the navy of Tanglin Island has improved the situation somewhat, most of them are confined to the north and south waters of the estuary of the Great River, and to the area of the sea area of Donglai County, which is the area of the Yellow Sea that was later called.

In the waters of the Liaodong Peninsula, Cao Wei's navy was still unable to take care of it.

This 'Liaodong squid' is a group of bandits in the waters of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Where did it come from?

It's not known......

But this group of bandits kills people without blinking, looting goods, robbing people, and often leaving chickens and dogs behind.

Behind him there will be a backer.

But no one knows who he is.

When Zhang Liao was stationed in Liaodong and was a general in Liaozhonglang, he also had a deliberate plan to kill these bandits. However, several designs were unsuccessful. Later, when the war broke out, he could only give up halfway.

Zhou Fu had also heard of Liaodong squid.

These pirates like black, and even the ships are painted black.

All the sailors on board were also dressed in black. Hence the name 'squid'......

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Cao Nian ran out of the cabin and asked curiously.

At this time, the squid ship had approached the merchant ship, and the squid on board issued an arrow to warn and ordered the merchant ship to stop.

A cold arrow roared and went straight to Cao Nian.

Zhou Fu shouted, "Childe, be careful." ”

As he spoke, the person had already pounced and threw Cao Nian on the deck at once. The sharp arrow hit Zhou Fu's back, only to hear him snort, but he endured the pain, picked up Cao Nian, and hid in the dark.

"Shizi, hide quickly."

"Brother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine!"

Zhou Fu said, pulled out the sword, slashed the sword into two pieces with his backhand, and then stood up.

"Lost the cargo on the ship, and let the two merchant ships of Chen and Ma quickly come closer, gather in battle, and prepare for battle."

This is the carved arrow, the arrow used by the border army.

Zhou Fu's face was solemn and he commanded loudly.

Cao Nian's face turned pale, and he followed Zhou Budo's side, silent.

"Shizi, why are you still here?"

"I'm going to fight with my brother."

Cao Nian stretched out his hand and pulled out a dagger from his waist.

This dagger, named 'Ning Xue', was originally made by Cao Ji and given to Deng Ji as a weapon. It's just that I heard that Cao Peng is overseas and has such a son, and Deng Ji has nothing to give, so he handed over Ning Xue to Cao Peng, and then Cao Peng transferred it to Cao Nian. Ning Xue is a rare work in the middle of Cao Ji, the dagger is slightly slender, but extremely sharp, the hair can be broken, and the rank is not inferior to Cao Ji's late sealed furnace works.

It's just that the dagger is a weapon, and it can't be elegant.

In addition, it has been kept in Deng Ji's hands, so it is not known......

Zhou Fu saw that Cao Nian was obviously snapping, but he still held on, made a strong appearance, and secretly admired.

"Then follow me, don't act rashly."

—————— Cao Thief Bar Update——————

At this time, the other two merchant ships had already approached each other.

Zhou Fu also saw that the merchant ship could not outrun the squid's sea ship, so he simply let the three merchant ships come closer together to form a sea land. Three hundred traps, originally scattered in three merchant ships, are also gathered in one place at this moment.

These squid, what a madness!

"Prepare for a confrontation."

Zhou Fu shouted loudly.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a machine on the other side's ship.

A spear roared and slammed into the deck, tearing the ship's deck apart.

"It's a big crossbow!"

Some merchants shouted in terror.

And Zhou Fu's face immediately became even more ugly.

There are carved arrows, and there are crossbows...... These are the standard weapons of the army, so where did these pirates come from?

No wonder the 'squid' is rampant, I'm afraid that behind them, there is also military power.

Looks like it's going to be dangerous today!

Zhou Fu turned his head to look at Cao Nian, and secretly made up his mind, "No matter what, you can't let the prince be in danger."

He beckoned for a trapper to step forward and whisper in the trap's ear.

Trap nodded, and stepped aside.

However, the place where he was standing was not far from Cao Nian. Zhou Fu instructed him that once the form was not good, even if he died in this battle, he had to protect Cao Nian.

Disheveled!

The squid's ship, which slammed into the merchant ship, trembled violently.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Trapped!"

"Trapped!"

After ten years, the cry of the trap echoed on the sea again.

Zhou Fu held his sword and prepared to rush up to fight.

But at this moment, a long horn sounded......

On the sea, more than a dozen Jian'an-class ships suddenly appeared. In addition, a giant building ship, surrounded by three Mengde-class building ships, slowly appeared in people's sight. The speed of Jian'an-class seagoing vessels is significantly better than that of other seagoing vessels. Riding the wind and waves in the sea, roaring. The ship raised its mast and its black sails, which were blown by the sea breeze and took on the shape of a huge bow.

This is also the unique equipment of Cao Wei's sea vessels, which can only be equipped with sea vessels above the Jian'an level.

That giant building ship is a giant high-class sea ship.

The ship is equipped with six masts, which are slowly raised under the skillful operation of the sailors.

Huge high six masts, Mengde four masts, and Jian'an single mastro.

The ship was full sails and the speed was astonishing.

The black sail, exquisitely made, with gold and silver letters, reads 'The Five Armies Protect the Capital, the General of the Che Cavalry', and a huge 'Cao' in the center, showing its belonging.

"Stop it!"

When a squid saw the huge ship, they cried out in terror.

The two auxiliary ships immediately rushed out, trying to stop the giant high-rise ship. However, the huge high-rise ship did not stop at all, and when it roared, a loud bang was heard. The sea ship, which can accommodate nearly 100 people, looked so vulnerable under the huge impact of the huge high-rise ship, and it was immediately shattered by the impact.

On the lookout of the building, a man stood.

Looking at his age, he is about thirty, with long eyebrows and clear eyes, short hair under his chin, and a heroic spirit.

He wore no armor, only a moon-white robe.

Covered with a silk coat, hunting in the wind.

He wears a three-pronged purple gold crown with a golden hair and a lion jade belt around his waist. He has a sword under his ribs and a silk folding fan in his hand.

Behind him, two teenagers stood each.

One was holding a brocade box about four feet long, and the word 'Tianxian' was written on the box. What was contained inside was the Tianxian Sword, one of the thirty-six swords of Tiangang that claimed to be able to cut two thousand stone officials.

The other teenager held a Fang Tian painting halberd.

The halberd head shone coldly, shining in the sun, revealing a touch of blood.

When Zhou Fu saw the man, he was immediately surprised.

He hurriedly took a few steps forward and shouted loudly: "Dadu Protector, the prince is here!" ”

It's Cao Peng!

Most of the five armies are protected, and the general of the chariot and cavalry, the marquis Cao Peng of Xinwu Township...... Here it comes!

Some people may ask, how can Cao Peng be at sea?

It turned out that after Cao Peng arrived in Zhuo County, after discussing with Deng Ji, Xiahoulan, Zhang Liao, and a few others, he handed over the specific matters of the implementation of the government soldiers to Pang Tong, and Pang Tong was responsible for it. Anyway, whether it is Deng Ji, Xia Houlan, or Zhang Liao, there will be no obstacles. So, Cao Peng moved the idea of patrolling. Just as he was going to Guzhu City to pick up Cao Nian, he sent someone to Zhou Cang to borrow a Jugao, three Mengde, and fifteen Jian'an. Walking along the coastline is more like a tour.

Today, there is already a coastal defense operation in the Yellow Sea.

However, including the Bohai Bay in the waters of the Liaodong Peninsula, the sea air defense is weak.

While sailing, Cao Peng came up with the idea of strengthening the coastal defense of the Bohai Sea.

Liaodong!

Or Liaodong......

Cao Peng felt that it was necessary to set up a naval army in Liaodong Bay and build a dock port similar to Yuzhou Mountain in order to completely guarantee Cao Wei's interests in Liaodong Bay. However, this is just an idea.

Whether Cao Cao will adopt it is not certain.

Cao Peng thought it was necessary to have a clearer understanding of the sea conditions in Liaodong Bay, so he took people to patrol the sea.

I didn't expect it......

"Dadu Hu, the prince is here!"

An unfamiliar voice came, but Cao Peng couldn't help but shudder.

Originally, he didn't think that Cao Nian was on the boat. But when you hear this shout, you can't understand it.

Xiao Nian on the boat?

Cao Peng was suddenly furious......

"Zhang Hu, order to attack, a squid is not allowed to be spared, and it is not a matter of killing!"

"Whoa!"

The young man with the halberd behind him responded loudly and immediately ordered someone to beat the drum.

The drums suddenly became urgent, and a young general on a Mengde-class ship, which was a giant high auxiliary ship, heard the rapid sound of the drums, so he drew his sword and shouted: "Pass my order, raise the sail and attack with me." ”

This young man's name is Guo Huai.

He was originally a native of Taiyuan Yangqu and a son of an official eunuch.

His grandfather, Guo Quan, was an official who worshipped Dasi Nong, and his father Guo Yi was the Taishou of Yanmen. Two years ago, 20-year-old Guo Huai was promoted to filial piety. When Zhang Liao learned about it, he recruited Guo Huai as a mansion as an assistant.

After Cao Peng came to Zhuojun, he also met Guo Huai by chance.

This is a famous general of Cao Wei of the Three Kingdoms, who has resisted Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition successively, and has made great achievements.

Historically, the official worshiped the general of the chariot and rode the general, the Marquis of Yangqu.

However, at this time, Guo Huai's reputation was still not obvious.

Cao Peng immediately asked Zhang Liao for it, and Zhang Liao did not refuse.

After entering the capital of the Five Armies, Guo Huai worshiped Sima and became Cao Peng's personal entourage. Guo Huai was naturally very grateful for Cao Peng's appreciation, but he had no chance to repay him. Now that Cao Peng ordered the attack, Guo Huai immediately became excited.

He commanded the Mengde-class building ship under his seat to roar out and go straight to the squid sea ship.

And those squids were stunned by this sudden blow, and they were at a loss and panicked.

"Xiao Nian, your father is here, your father is here!"

Zhou Fu had the urge to live for the rest of his life, hugged Cao Nian, and shouted excitedly.

Daddy?

Xiao Cao Nian looked in the direction of Zhou Fu's finger, and under the sun, Cao Peng was standing on the lookout of the giant high-rise ship.

The sea breeze blows the robe to hunt, like a fairy among the gods.

I don't know how many times, I met my father in a dream. But when Cao Nian really saw Cao Peng, he couldn't help crying!

"Is that Daddy?"

"Hmm!"

Cao Nian suddenly broke free from Zhou Fu's embrace, ran a few steps, put a pair of small hands to his mouth, and shouted towards the tall figure on the approaching big boat: "Daddy...... Daddy! I'm Xiao Nian......"

Since he was born, he has never called 'Daddy'.

Everyone else has a father, but I don't!

Although Lu Lan and others told him again and again how much Cao Peng loved him, in Cao Nian's heart, he could never let go. Now, Daddy is here! He appeared in front of Cao Nian in a way that Cao Nian had never imagined. The grievances that had been accumulated in his heart for many years poured out all of a sudden, and he shouted loudly.

And on the giant high-rise ship, Cao Peng also heard the shouting.

"Drop the sails!"

Sun Shao shouted loudly.

The sails on the ship slowly descended.

The ship made a horizontal move on the surface of the sea and slowly approached the merchant ship.

Cao Peng saw the little man on the boat who was shouting at him, his nose was sore, and tears fell.

That's my son!

Cao Peng's eyes were red, and he walked down the lookout quickly.

He stood on the side of the boat and shouted to the little man on the boat: "Xiao Nian, don't be afraid, Daddy is here!" ”

Behind Cao Peng, Sun Shao's eyes were also red.

It was as if he had gone back to the past. The little man on the boat seems to be him, and Cao Peng seems to have become Sun Ce.

"Daddy!"

Sun Shao muttered to himself, and tears couldn't help but fall silently...... (To be continued)
