After Liu Qi's enthronement ceremony, Lu Xun, who was newly canonized as the general of Zhengsanpin Zhengyi, resigned to Liu Qi and prepared to return to Yizhou, and then tried to get in touch with the Wa State.

As soon as Liu Qi heard about the Wa Kingdom, he remembered the scourge of this country to China 1,800 years later, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and hate it. After thinking about it for a while, Liu Qi said to Lu Xun: "The Japanese slaves are barbaric and lewd, they are unkind, they can't make friends, they can only plot against them, and they are now in the midst of war. ”

Lu Xun didn't know why Liu Qi had such a bad feeling for the Wa Kingdom, and he didn't know where he got the information about the Wa Kingdom, but since the previous lord's judgment of Yizhou was completely consistent with the facts, including the distance and location of Yizhou from the Wa Kingdom were so accurate, he naturally believed in Liu Qi's words.

Taking a step back, Liu Qi is the king, he is the minister, even if Liu Qi is not right, he can only obey, although he is far overseas, and there are more than 100,000 troops under his command, if you really want to disobey Liu Qi's words, it is not impossible to do it, but in Lu Xun's eyes, whether it is Yizhou or the Wa State that is about to be dealt with, it is a temporary place of residence, and his destination is still in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Lu Xun immediately nodded respectfully, and then was about to say goodbye and go back, but saw Liu Qi; He took his hand and said: "Bo Yan, this king knows that it is really wronged for you to lead an army to hang overseas, but you also know that my Han is no longer able to divide more soldiers and horses to deal with those overseas barbarians, and you are the most familiar with the navy and the most experienced, so this matter can only be entrusted to you, and those civil and military generals under your command will be truly mature." This king will let you return to the Han Dynasty and join the auxiliary government of the court. ”

Seeing Liu Qi say this, Lu Xun hurriedly said with tears in his eyes: "The lord is so kind to Xun, even if Xun is broken, he can't repay it in case, what is a little hard work?" Xun also knows. As long as the lord opens up the route from Yizhou to the Wa Kingdom, he can not only directly threaten Cao Cao's Qingzhou and Youzhou, but also wave the army to deal with Liaodong, so as to complete the encirclement of Cao Cao on all sides. Xun sincerely admires and will definitely fully cooperate with the lord. ”

"That's right. Then there is a lot of work. I have some military supplies here, and I will send a sergeant to escort you back, including the iron swords, repeating crossbows, and the like that have been commonly equipped in our army for the past few years, and oh, I have one more thing here, especially for navigation and marching war. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Qi whispered a few words in Liu Shi's ear.

Liu Shi took the order and left, and a moment later walked over with a strange thing in his hand.

Lu Xun saw that this thing was made of two hollow bamboo tubes. There is also a horizontal beam in the middle of the bamboo tube, which looks like it is the width of the head. I don't know what it is, and I can't help but feel strange.

Seeing Lu Xun's surprised look, Liu Qi smiled and stuffed this thing into his hand, and then said, "You aim your eyes at these two bamboo tubes and look into the distance." ”

Lu Xun raised this thing flat as he said, and his eyes were aimed at the two bamboo tubes. Looking into the distance, he suddenly became excited: "This, what's going on, why can I see so far?" And it's so clear! If this is used when sailing or fighting, it is like a divine help. ”

Liu Qi smiled. Said slowly: "This thing is called clairvoyance, also called telescope, you show to see that they are just two ordinary bamboo tubes, but there are actually two lenses polished with crystal stones, which are made by the king's order, because it is the first time, just four lenses have been used for three years, Bo Yan, this clairvoyant in your hand, but the only one in the hands of this king, this king will give it to you, I hope to help you." ”

Lu Xun couldn't help but be amazed when he heard Liu Qi's words, he didn't understand why his lord always had such a novel idea in his mind, but none of the ideas could be amazing, whether it was a cloud ladder, or printing, or even things like Mo knife, crossbow, and Su iron knife that he had only seen recently, it was always amazing.

What kind of clairvoyance has now made him see the magic of the lord, just four crystal-polished lenses can cause such an effect? It's really a little incredible, could it be that his lord is the reincarnation of Lu Ban and the rebirth of Mozi?

However, Lu Xun didn't care how Liu Qi thought of this kind of genius invention, anyway, he knew that such a thing would be a blessing in disguise for him, but he heard that Liu Qi only had this one clairvoyant in the entire country, so he couldn't help but pushes back: "This thing is so valuable, how can Xun deserve it?" Since this thing can be used on the battlefield, presumably the lord must be indispensable, so it's better for the lord to keep it, anyway, Xun has adapted to the sailing career, and it will be okay without it. After finishing speaking, Lu Xun returned the clairvoyance to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi didn't take it, but said with a smile: "Since this thing has been made, it will be much easier to make it in the future, and Gu has sent dozens of craftsmen to polish this crystal lens." It is estimated that more than a dozen of these clairballs will be created in just a few months, so don't shirk it. In addition, you are far away from the king, and it is a little inconvenient to pass on information, so it is best to occupy a few desert islands and take turns to garrison there, mainly to establish a post station and deliver news, and this king will send you more than ten carrier pigeons, as well as a book, which is the domestication method of carrier pigeons, all here, you can use them to transmit information, and the speed will be ten times or even more than the original. However, this method is still a secret in our army, and Bo Yan must choose his cronies and do not leak secrets. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Qi instructed Liu Shi to take out more than ten carrier pigeons from the queen of the back court, as well as a printed book on the domestication method of carrier pigeons, and give them to Lu Xun.

After that, Liu Qi originally wanted to have a drink with Lu Xun, but seeing that Lu Xun was in a hurry to return, he couldn't keep it, and remembered Xiao Qiao's stern warning to him last night, so he had to forget it.

Lu Xun met Liu Qi this time, not only was he promoted, but also received a lot of assistance from Liu Qi, which was not a good harvest, which also strengthened his determination to serve Liu Qi, especially when he saw the lord's jealousy and disgust for the Japanese country, he made up his mind that this time no matter what, he must find a way to help the lord realize the plan and control the Japanese country in his hands.

When Lu Xun returned to Yizhou, it was already a month later, and he had just returned to Yizhou when he got the news that the envoy he sent to the Wa Kingdom had already made contact with the queen of the Wa Kingdom, Himiko, who heard that it was the envoy of the Han Dynasty and immediately went to greet him in person.

Originally, the Wa Kingdom at that time was divided into dozens of countries, including Dog Evil Han, Molu, Yidu, Nu, Bumi, Touma, Yamatai, Sima, Hundred Branches, Yixi, Duzhi, Minu, Haogudu, Buhu, Sister Nu, Zhusu, Yousunu, Huyi Dog Slave and other countries.

Among them, the northern countries are the largest in the Yamatai State, with more than 70,000 households and nearly 200,000 people, plus more than 30 countries that submit to it, such as the Evil Han, Molu, Yidu, Nuguo, and Touma, the number of households is nearly 200,000, 670,000.

In the south, the dog slave country is the largest, with hundreds of thousands of households, plus the surrounding subordinate countries, and now has a power of 180,000 households, more than 500,000 people.

Although Himiko seems to have informed the vast territory of the north and has a large population under his command, the combat effectiveness of the army is not as good as that of the Dog Slave Alliance, coupled with the fact that Himiko is scheming, using assassination and bribery to constantly divide and disintegrate her forces, and now it is pressing step by step, and the situation is very unfavorable to her.

Just when Himiko was feeling anxious, he suddenly heard that the Han envoy was visiting, and he immediately felt overjoyed, and he had the idea of using the power of the Great Han to deal with Himiko.

At this time, Himiko actually didn't know that the Han had been divided, and the Han in her impression was still as powerful as when Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty named her ancestor the king of the Han Dynasty and gave her the Golden Seal, and she didn't know that the master behind the Han envoy who visited her was actually just a prince of the Han Dynasty.

However, her choice is correct, because even if it is just a prince, or even just the tens of thousands of troops sent by this prince, it is far from being able to compete with the entire Japanese slave world, because this prince is the most powerful force of the Han Dynasty, and he has already won two of the three points of the Han world, and it is only a matter of time before it is unified.

Himiko happily talked to the envoy, but the envoy did not agree as decisively as she expected, but shirked: "I was only ordered to come to discuss trade matters, but I didn't expect to encounter your civil strife, I am very sympathetic to your country's suffering, but I can't make a decision, if you want us to help you, you need the consent of our lord Chu Gong, at least you need the consent of our general Zhengyi, but our general is now two or three thousand miles away from here, and I want to get his permission, We must go back and report to him. ”

In desperation, Himiko had no choice but to follow what the envoy said, let him go back to discuss with the general Zhengyi, but she was afraid that the Han people would ignore it, so she ordered the envoy Nanshengmi to go with the envoy to see the general Zhengyi, and in order to show her sincerity, she also ordered to select 2,000 Japanese girls from the country as gifts to the Duke of Chu and the general Zhengyi.

Hearing that the Wa Kingdom had sent an envoy to come, and hearing He Qi who had gone to the Wa State talk about the situation of the Wa Kingdom, he couldn't help but marvel at the astonishing prophecy of the lord Liu Qi, so he met with Nansheng Rice. Although he had been authorized, Lu Xun deliberately said that he did not have this right in his name, and asked him to go to see the king of Chu, and only after he got the authorization could he lead the army to go on the expedition.
