The sky is cloudless, and the face is calm as a mirror, which seems to be very harmonious.

But who knows, not long ago, there was a big storm hanging on the sea in this area, and the waves were raging.

Not far away, dozens of merchant ships floated in the sea, and these merchant ships were crooked, and some of the main poles of the ships were broken. I don't know where I was blown by the storm just now.

On a merchant ship in the center, a young man stands on the deck. He was dressed in black and had a long sword hanging from his waist.

It was ordered that Yang Fan go to sea and go to Fangdao in Liaodong.

Fang Dao led the merchant ship and turned into a caravan, and along the way, he crossed the waters controlled by Jiangdong without danger and entered the sea.

But the day after entering the sea, they were met with a super storm. Almost killed.

At this moment, Fang Dao was looking around anxiously, counting the number of ships one by one. When the ships were finished, Fang Dao felt incredible.

Unsinkable, one ship.

You must know that the storm just now is very big, and it is not comparable to the wind and waves on the Yangtze River.

While breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, Fang Dao was a little at a loss for the current situation. Looking to the west, the coast, which should have been faintly visible, has disappeared.

A big storm blew them somewhere. And now the ability of the ships to sail to the west and re-dock is already quite difficult.

Fang Dao looked around, a large part of the merchant ships whose poles had been broken, and his heart continued to sink. Just when Fang Dao was in despair.

Suddenly, an exclamation came from the ship, "Lord Marquis, look, there is an island ahead. ”

"Island?" Fang Dao's heart moved, there are islands and trees, and he can make the main pole, install a spare canvas, and continue to sail to Liaodong.

Fang Dao looked into the distance.

I saw that in the east, a faint island appeared. It's just that it seems a little small. But in the middle of the ocean, it's nice to have islands.

Fang Dao didn't dislike it, and waved his big hand and said:

"Paddle, dock."

"No." A soldier behind Fang Dao answered, took out a rhinoceros horn from his waist, and whined.

Suddenly, every ship in the entire fleet stretched out wood pulp from the holes on both sides of the ship. Paddle towards the distant island.

I thought it was just a small island, very close. But after a few hours of the fleet, the distant island showed no sign of approaching, except for a little larger.

Based on the experience of Fang Dao on the river, this is not a small island, it should be a very large island, and it is far away.

"Order to cook." It was past noon, and there was no sign of approaching the island, so Fang Dao ordered to bury the pot and make rice.

With another whine and horn, the flotilla came to earth. Start making rice. After about half an hour, the soldiers, who had eaten and drunk, shook the wood pulp again, and sailed towards the island, which seemed to be very close, but was actually very far away.

Even Fang Dao couldn't imagine that this trip was a five-day walk.

Five days later, when Fang Dao looked at the almost endless island not far away, he grew his mouth in surprise, where is this island, this is clearly another coast.

But seeing an island is a different thing from landing on the shore. After about a day of sailing around the island, Fang Dao found the best place to land.

Merchant ships were ordered to dock.

When he stepped into this island, Fang Dao did not know that he was the first Han Chinese to set foot in Yizhou, that is, in later Taiwan.

A storm took the caravan away from the route and came to Taiwan.

A deserted island inhabited by ethnic minorities, but without even a city.

Fang Dao didn't know that if he rebuilt ferries, cities, and sea ships on this island, the scope of military strikes on this island would cover almost the entire coastline of Jiangdong.

…………

Of course Liu Feng didn't know, he asked Fang Dao to set sail north to Liaodong, but by chance, Fang Dao actually went to Taiwan.

If he knew, Liu Feng would have sent a large number of ships into Taiwan, and then sent professional personnel to operate them.

In fact, the development of Taiwan now is of little significance. Because, in the land of Jingchu, there are too many fields that have not been developed, and it is too late to develop Jingchu, let alone Taiwan.

However, Liu Feng is very clear about Taiwan's military use. Thousands of miles of coastline.

It's a pity that Liu Feng doesn't know now that he is still worried about the selection of Changsha Taishou.

In Xiling City, in the study of Taishou Mansion, Liu Feng's expression was very distressed, and he had an urge to scratch his scalp.

A few days ago, when Liu Feng received Cai Mao's intention to appoint him as the Changsha Taishou, he had already ordered Gan Ning to prepare, run rampant on the water, cut off Liu Qi's contact with Changsha Taishou Liu Pan.

In the third day, Wen Ping led an army of 10,000 people from Jiangling and Nandu to threaten Changsha, and Gan Ning also sent a navy ashore to threaten Changsha.

Although, last time Gan Ning robbed more than 1,000 water thieves, there was some hatred. But when threatening Changsha, Wen Ping did not trouble Gan Ning, but carried out Cai Mao's order very strictly.

Together with Gan Ning, he besieged Linxiang, the county town of Changsha. Liu Pan originally had 5,000 troops, but when he saw Wen Ping coming, he couldn't hold on and went out of the city and surrendered.

Liu Pan was originally innocent, but he was attacked because he was too close to Liu Qi and sat in Changsha. Under the initiative to surrender, Wen Ping did not embarrass Liu Pan.

directly sent someone to escort Liu Pan and his family to Xiangyang. It is estimated that he is now under house arrest.

Gan Ning smoothly received more than 20 cities in Changsha, as well as 5,000 defenders in the county city of Linxiang, which were also accepted by Gan Ning.

However, the series of problems that have arisen have not decreased as a result, but have increased.

First of all, Liu Feng is now the Taishou of Jiangxia, and he is also in charge of Changsha, but in fact, Liu Feng still has to appoint a civil official who exercises the power of the county to govern Changsha.

Secondly, there are the 5,000 troops. Gan Ning, as a captain of the Navy Academy, could not have guarded Changsha for too long, and wanted to return to Xiakou, if Gan Ning returned to Xiakou, the 5,000 troops would not know what the chaos would be.

A city, from the selection of the Taishou, as well as the configuration of the generals, are all things that Liu Feng is extremely troubled by now.

When there is a chance, we must be like the Shu State in history, with Yi, Xu Shu, Pang Tong and others jointly creating an official selection system, otherwise we will blindly think about where to dig up celebrities.

Some are unrealistic.

In the end, Liu Feng decided to temporarily use the petty officials and petty officers he had accepted.

Xu Zheng, as well as Zhou Shun.

The former was once an important adjutant under Mi Zhu in Xinye, some time ago, he was in charge of grain trading with Jiangdong, and he did a good job, so he didn't need to be the Taishou, let him be the master of Changsha Taishou, and barely run the civil service system of Changsha County.

The latter, who was born as an orthodox military marquis, became a water thief with Zhang Gui, and later surrendered to him together. Now he is the head of the Jiangxia army, responsible for the implementation of military law.

Liu Feng didn't need Zhou Shun to be the county lieutenant, commanding 5,000 people, as long as Zhou Shun was appointed as Sima, he could maintain the operation of the army.

If the two of them do a good job, Liu Feng doesn't mind promoting them, but if they are average, Liu Feng can only replace them with the right person at the right time.

In fact, Liu Feng still has some candidates in his heart, but he may not be invited. For example, Liu Ba, who once co-founded the Shu family with Zhuge Liang, Yi and others.

This character is quite powerful, and he is a big man who took over the position of Fa Zheng Shangshu Ling after Fa Zheng's death. was praised by Zhuge Liang, claiming that he was not as good as Liu Ba in terms of his ability to strategize.

It's not necessarily true, but it's also a high compliment. It's a pity, this man is a notoriously capitulator. Descending Cao's. He is asking for it now, which is tantamount to bringing humiliation upon himself.

Anyway, although Liu Feng has obtained a county in Changsha, more than 20 cities, and a population of more than 100,000, there are no officials who can operate and effectively develop Changsha's economy and military capabilities.

Just when Liu Feng felt that Xu Zheng and Zhou Shun were using it first, someone came in outside the door and reported: "Lord, there is a person who claims to be Huo Jun, who led hundreds of parts and came to defect. ”

The so-called trilogy is the private armed forces, including the strong men, and the families of the strong men, hundreds of people seem to be a lot, but in fact, there may not be a hundred people who can be used.

However, Liu Feng has a very indescribable sense of novelty about this kind of thing.

Since coming to this era, he has spent his time making friends with celebrities, and even abducted Deng Ai, encircled Huang Zhong, asked Pang Tong to come out of the mountain, and even sold himself for Jiang Wan.

is spending countless brain cells, begging others to serve him. And now there is actually a person who led the tribe to defect.

This feeling is the first time.

Huo Jun? Wait, this person seems familiar. Frowning and thinking for a moment, Liu Feng's eyes suddenly burst out with a trace of essence.

This person seems to be Liu Bei's Zitong Taishou, General Pi. The most brilliant achievement was in Liu Bei's conquest of Shu, with hundreds of people to hold the city, resisting the attack of 10,000 people of Liu Zhang's generals for a year.

A year.

However, this man is good at guarding, but the best is the best fight. Therefore, Liu Feng couldn't think of it. Now that I think about it, isn't it a good candidate for the governor of Changsha? To the east of Changsha is Jiangdong. In a border county like Jiujiang, it is very reassuring to have a strong guard.

Liu Feng suddenly remembered that this person named Huo Jun should be in Xiangyang.

Now that Liu Biao is dead, Liu Bei is far away in Xinye, and his power is weak. Jingzhou has the ability, and the power is the first to recommend him Liu Feng. And the former said, he hired Cai's and Huang's again, making him famous.

Isn't it because of these reasons, added up, that good talents come thousands of miles to defect?

Although Liu Feng guessed, he didn't know the novelty in his heart and the feeling of comfort. Shu Shuang is not just because Huo Jun came to defect.

It's because Liu Feng realized the benefits of fame from Huo Jun's example.

When he defeated Cao Ren and married Cai Da and Huang Yueying. The reputation will be like the middle of the sky, and when the time comes, talents will not come to you, but to you.

These were just a flash in Liu Feng's heart, but Liu Feng still remained calm on his face, and said to the soldier who came in to report: "Please let him in." ”

"No."
