Chapter 268: Cao Cao sang and danced, waiting for Cao Ren to return triumphantly

After a few people saw it, Yan Feng took Gongsun Kang, Yi Ji and others to see the 28,000 stone of grain, as well as 3,000 gold.

There are also the thirty merchant ships that came with Fang Dao and others.

Although Gongsun Kang is a Taishou, he grew up in Liaodong, which is a place near the sea, and Gongsun Kang has a deep understanding of the sea.

Seeing Fang Dao riding an inland river merchant ship, he dared to cross the sea, and couldn't help but praise: "The military marquis is really brave." ”

Fang Dao shook his head and smiled: "It's not the bravery, but the lord's order, even if it's a sword mountain and a sea of fire, I will break through." ”

Gongsun Kang was in awe when he heard this, and he had considerable respect for Liu Feng, who he had never met. defeated Cao Ren with weak soldiers, and his royal means were so superb.

This person must be Cao Ying's great enemy. It is also a friend of the Gongsun clan in Liaodong who can be healthy.

"I can't do it when I come, and if I still use these boats when I go back, I'm not taking care of my guests. When you set off for Jiangxia, I will send you thirty large ships that can be sead. for you to go back. Gongsun Kang said with a smile, then paused, and said: "I won't ask for Liu Jiangxia's baggage in vain." I will prepare another 900 war horses, and you can take them back and hand them over to Liu Jiangxia. ”

"Thank you, Lord Taishou." Yi Yuan was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly hugged his fists.

These 900 war horses are a heavy gift, although in Liaodong, the value of these war horses has depreciated significantly. But in the place south of the Yangtze River, it is worth no less than 9,000 gold. Compared with the baggage sent out by Liu Feng, the grain is much more valuable.

Things are vaguely expensive.

"Hehe, just take what you need." Gongsun Kang smiled and said, then couldn't help but glance at the 28,000 stone grain again, and his heart couldn't help but be hot.

Liaodong is bitterly cold, the population is not abundant, and there is a shortage of food. These 28,000 grains are enough to spend a month's worth of 100,000 troops.

This is just a trip, if the scale of the transaction between the two places increases.

His army, with a steady supply of food, was united with Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi. Why worry about not being able to keep the foundation of the Gongsun clan.

Whether it is an alliance or a trade exchange, there are already some conclusions.

After talking a few more words with Gongsun Kang, Yi suddenly received a look from Fang Dao, and his heart moved, and Gongsun Kang confessed his guilt, and took Fang Dao to a camp tent.

As soon as he entered the battalion commander, Fang Dao immediately became very excited, raised his fist and said, "Mr. Jibo, my subordinates have discovered a big island overseas, which is no more than a county. ”

"What did you say?" Yi was taken aback and lost his voice.

However, Yi Yuan immediately reacted and asked in a low voice, "Where is it left, is it close to the coast?" ”

This is a big deal, and if it is close to the coast, as long as it operates for a few years, it can be used as a secret force to attack the coast.

Although he is not a qualified military strategist, his vision is not bad. A county place. That's big, how many people. What a difference.

"It's not far, about ten days. In the vicinity of Kure. Fang Dao also whispered.

"Yes, yes. In the future, if Zhou Yu comes to commit this kind of thing again, I, Jiangxia, can directly attack Wu County, and return the color. Hearing this, Yi Yuan shouted twice in a row, and was overjoyed.

It's a lot of meaning. With this island, see if Sun Quan dares to be arrogant in the future, if he is arrogant, Liu Feng's army can directly start from Jiujiang and attack Yuzhang.

Set out from Changsha and attack Luling. Starting from that big island, attack Kure County, Huiji. The range of attack is almost the entire six counties of Jiangdong.

What a force rich in attacking surnames and secret surnames.

Seeing that Yi was happy, Fang Dao then explained in detail the islands he knew. This includes parts of the island's topography, as well as the situation of the aliens.

In the end, there were the 100 soldiers, 5 large ships, and 2,000 stone of grain left behind to exterminate the alien race.

"Well, very well done." Hearing this, Yi Zhi said in a loud voice, and as he spoke, Yi Zhi's eyes flashed with thought.

That island is able to build a ferry, a city. There is also the population that comes with its own. It only takes a few years to slowly migrate the Han Chinese, as well as the army to pass.

Then exterminate the alien race and obtain labor. It's just a county. Raise a population of hundreds of thousands, an army of twenty or thirty thousand.

Thinking about it, thinking about it, I have a desire to run it myself. This is a work of eternity from nothing.

"Marquis Fang Jun will stay here first, and I will go to Gongsun Kang to ask for some people and craftsmen who can make sea ships." Thinking about it, Yi Ji got up and said.

"Population?" Fang Dao wondered.

"Yes, population." Yi Yuan nodded, and then smiled slightly: "A few years ago, Gongsun Kang broke Goguryeo, broke its capital, and captured 30,000 people. There's no way to settle it, so we're going to ask for some. I don't think he won't say yes. ”

"Well, it's better to transport some people from Liaodong, and if you want to transport them from the inland, go south through Jiangdong. The risk is too great. Fang Dao nodded.

Both were decisive people, after making a decision.

Yi immediately got up and walked out of the camp tent and came to the Chinese army's big tent to find Gongsun Kang.

Gongsun Kang is in the big tent of the Chinese army, closing his eyes and recuperating. He is no longer young, and he is in a hurry along the way, and he is very tired.

Suddenly, I heard the guards at the camp tent say that the Iraqi nationality had gone and returned. Gongsun Kang was surprised in his heart, and then straightened his clothes. He raised his hand and said, "Please come in, sir." ”

"No." The guards outside the tent answered, and a moment later, Yi walked in.

"Meet Taishou-sama." After entering the big tent, Yi Yuan bowed deeply to Gongsun Kang.

"Hehe, Mr. goes and returns, there must be something important to discuss, and say." Gongsun Kang said with a smile.

"I heard that Lord Taishou said before he attacked Goguryeo, broke its capital, and plundered 30,000 people. So he asked Lord Taishou to be able to give these people [***] and bring them back to Jiangxia. Speaking of this, Yi Yuan smiled slightly, raised his fist and said, "In addition, please also ask Lord Taishou to allocate some craftsmen who can make sea boats in the next place, so that I can bring them back." ”

Finally, Yi Yuan bowed deeply and said, "When I come next time, I will definitely offer 50,000 stone of grain to thank Lord Taishou." ”

Although the contact with Gongsun Kang was short, Yi knew that Gongsun Kang was a little unwilling to suffer.

It's okay to exchange for equivalence, but it's unwise to ask for it. It will affect the alliance, so the Yi nationality gave the price of 50,000 stone of grain.

Gongsun Kang's eyebrows were already deeply locked. But as the last words of the Yi nationality came out, the expression on his face became much more relaxed.

He nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, the 30,000 people will be handed over to Liu Jiangxia, and I will send another thirty sea ships and fifty craftsmen." ”

It seems to be very generous, but in fact, 50,000 stone of grain is more important in Gongsun Kang's opinion. Most of the 30,000 people were Goguryeo.

One, they are not very obedient, and second, it is autumn, that is, they have to eat a year's worth of grain before they can cultivate themselves.

The loss of grain in the middle, as well as the price of 50,000 stone of grain given by Liu Feng. Gongsun Kang felt that the little one had taken some advantage.

Actually, the Iraqi still feel that they have taken advantage of it. 50,000 stone of grain buys 30,000 people. Expand that big island. The rewards in the future are enormous.

"Thank you, Lord Taishou." Yi once again clasped his fists and saluted.

"Huh." Gongsun Kang smiled, raised his hand and said, "Mr. is very polite." ”

Only then did Yi raise his head and glance at Gongsun Kang, both of whom smiled slightly.

Both sides are mutually beneficial.

.............. Xu Du, Cao Ying's Prime Minister's Mansion, in the hall. Cao Ying was having a banquet for the ministers.

Cao Ying sat on the main seat, dressed in a green brocade robe, with a sword hanging from his waist. Be in spirits.

In the hall, the civil and military sat on both sides.

Among them, on the left are Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhang Jaw, Gao Ran and so on. On the right are Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Chen Qun and so on.

In one corner of the hall, dozens of musicians are playing beautiful music. In the hall, more than a dozen singers danced to the music.

attracted the sideways glances of the ministers and showed appreciation.

A faction of singing and dancing.

"It's the third day, and the banquet every day is like waiting for the news of Zixiao's (Cao Ren)'s victory." Zhang Liao sighed and said to Xu Huang next to him.

Zhang Liao is in his thirties, less than forty. Unlike most of the generals in the hall, he was born like a scribe, with a very white face and a handful of beards.

It's very handsome.

Xu Huang is also about the same age as Zhang Liao, but he was born with a fierce general, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, big eyes, and a very god.

"Hehe, Wen Yuan is too worried. Zixiao fought all his life and never tasted defeat. The generals under him are all elite, and it is common sense that Jiang Xia is nine out of ten, and Ming Gong is so relaxed. Xu Huang smiled slightly when he heard this, and said.

Immediately, he raised his glass to Zhang Liao and said: "On the battlefield, you should be cautious when leading troops to fight, but now that you are in the rear, you can drink and have fun, or drink more." ”

"Hehe, what Gongming said is that in the rear, it's useless to worry too much." Zhang Liao felt much more relaxed when he heard this, smiled, raised the wine glass and touched Xu Huang gently.

With a crisp sound, the two drank it all.

The two were originally clinking glasses in private, but they were discovered by Cao Ying on the main seat.

Cao Ying smiled slightly and said to the two: "What are you two happy in private, say it, and make everyone happy." ”

Both of them were taken aback, but this matter is not unsightly.

So, Zhang Liao raised his fist and said to Cao Ying, the conversation between the two just now.

"Hahaha, Gongming said it well, this war is a matter ahead, it should be Zixiao's suffering, let's just drink while waiting for Zixiao's good news, and then ask the Son of Heaven for Zixiao's reward." Cao Ying laughed when he heard this.

I agree with Xu Huang's words.

When the general is outside, he should do his duty. But inside, what should be enjoyed is still to be enjoyed.

Otherwise, what would you do if you would be rich and rich on the battlefield with blood?

Cao Ying's age is a little older, and after defeating Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan and others over the years, his heart has also relaxed a little. For Xu Huang's words, I feel very reasonable.

Now, just wait for the news of Cao Ren's victory.

Thinking about it, Cao Ying couldn't help but think about what kind of reward to ask for for Cao Ren.

Cao Ren is his younger brother, and the two of them share the same great-grandfather. Growing up together, Cao Ren was also the first person to defect to him.

Fought a lot of battles outside and was wounded. I have suffered, and I should express myself when I come back.

Cao Ying thought to himself.
