"Brother Rui, Brother Rui! This is the Great River, the Great River! It is much wider than the Xu River outside Xudu. Cao Chong shouted excitedly, the first time he went out, the children were excited.

"Brother Chong, pay attention, don't catch a cold."

Lu Rui smiled, Cao Chong is still a child, and his childlike innocence is still fun. Lu Rui looked at the nearby terrain, they got on the boat from the Lujiang River, which should be the widest body of water on the Yangtze River.

"It's not practical to attack Eastern Wu from here, it seems that it is best to send troops from Guangling." Lu Rui looked at the surrounding terrain and thought about how to deal with Jiangdong.

"Little Marquis, is it the first time you have seen the Yangtze River?" Lu Fan smiled on the side, the ancients did not have many opportunities to see the big rivers, generally speaking, people who saw the big rivers for the first time would have some emotion.

"Ziheng is right, this is indeed the first time to see the Yangtze River, I didn't expect that there is such a magnificent river in the world, as far as the eye can see." The Yangtze River of the Three Kingdoms is much wider than that of later generations, the natural damage is not serious, and the river is vertical and horizontal, so it is no wonder that the Sun family can hold on to Cao Wei III for a long time by virtue of the Yangtze River natural insurance.

"Lord Hou is polite, Lord Sikong is based on the Central Plains and looks at the world, he is the big hero, our lord is just sticking to Jiangdong and favoring the side of peace."

Ziheng laughed.

"Master Hou, the wind is strong on the river, do you want to enter the cabin?"

There is a windy situation on the river.

"Okay, Ziheng, please!" Lu Rui and Lu Fan returned to the shipyard.

"Master Hou, we're ready to go to Chaisang." As soon as the sky was bright, Lu Fan woke up Lu Rui. Because it was a slow drive, what was supposed to be a half-day trip took one day to complete. This is also Cao Chong's request. Look at the Yangtze River. Lu Fan was also embarrassed to spoil the child's interest, so he agreed.

"Oh? Already there? Lu Rui rubbed his eyes, woke up Cao Chong next to him, and followed Lu Fan off the boat.

"Evil?" As soon as Lu Rui came ashore, he saw Dian Wei vomiting wildly on the side, and it seemed that he was seasick. Even Dian Wei was seasick, and it seemed that it was really inappropriate for northerners to take a boat. Although the warships of the Three Kingdoms were large, they still shook greatly when they encountered strong winds. It's like a bumper car in the future, a serial warship? I'm afraid it's the only solution to the northerners' southward migration.

"Master Hou, your guard seems to be seasick?" Lu Fan smiled, Dian Wei was too bad, a big man as strong as an ox actually vomited a mess.

"Please also ask Ziheng to take good care of my guards." Lu Rui shook his head, embarrassed, and fell down before he entered the city.

"Please rest assured, Master Hou, I will definitely take good care of the guards."

Under the leadership of Lu Fan, Lu Rui and Cao Chong entered Chaisang.

Chaisang was the frontier city of the confrontation between Eastern Wu and Liu Biao, followed by Yuzhang County, the large county of Eastern Wu. Chaisan is located at the confluence of the Yangtze River. Soochow used the terrain of Chaisang to make this place an impregnable wall.

The first is to go into the city, not to go in. Instead, he took a small boat to enter, and there were three in the moat alone.

After entering the city gate, there is a large wetland, which the Chaisan people call mulberry lake. According to Lu Rui's view, it is actually a tidal flat in later generations, and Poyang Lake is near Chaisang.

After passing through Mulberry Lake before arriving at the real Chaisang City, Lu Fan arranged for Lu Rui and his party to settle down in Taishou Mansion, and then prepared breakfast for Lu Rui.

The fish in the south of the Yangtze River is very famous, and after Lu Rui tasted the delicious river fish of Chaisang, he rested in Taishou Mansion. Lu Fan's suggestion was to set off early the next morning for Moling, which was later the capital of Eastern Wu, Jianye!

"Brother Rui, I'm here." After dinner, Cao Chong came to find Lu Rui.

"Brother Chong, where have you been?"

"I asked Lu Fan to take me to Chaisang to go around, the water city in the south is indeed different from my city in the north, although it is small, but it is surrounded by natural dangers, and it is also a rare landscape." Cao Chong picked up a fresh fruit in front of the table and ate it.

There are more fresh fruits in the south than in the north, Cao Chong went to buy a lot of fresh fruits as soon as he came, and he didn't taste them, so he naturally wanted to eat them, and after a long time with Lu Rui, he naturally became a foodie.

"Brother Chong, it's not as simple as going to see the landscape." Lu Rui ate a fresh fruit and glanced at Cao Chong, Cao Chong is really young and has the wisdom of an adult, such a prodigy will never go to play so simple.

"Brother Rui, according to my brother's opinion, the area around Chaisang is the center of Soochow." Cao Chong saw that there were no outsiders, so he said what he thought in his heart.

"Brother Chong, don't talk nonsense, our relationship with Soochow is still very good." After all, this is the territory of Soochow, and the disaster comes from the mouth.

"Got it, Brother Rui, I came to Jiangdong to eat and drink, memorize things, and after returning to Xudu, write it out silently, this work is much more interesting than in Sikong Mansion." Cao Chong grabbed the fresh fruit on the table and devoured it, the taste of this fresh fruit was really good!

Lu Rui was speechless for a moment, and Cao Chong took the reconnaissance task as a play.

On the second day, Lu Rui and Cao Chong got into a carriage and headed for Moling.

Due to Cao Chong's requirements, the speed naturally cannot be very fast, mountains, dense forests and rugged mountain trails, this is what Cao Chong dares to be interested in, Lu Fan is not in a hurry, Cao Gongzi wants to play, so let Cao Gongzi play well.

"Master Hou, there is the Tiger Forest in front, why don't we rest for a day and then leave, I think Cao Gongzi still wants to have fun?"

"Alas, there is no way, Brother Chong is deeply favored by Lord Sikong, and I can't persuade him, so Ziheng smiled."

"Master Hou is polite, the little boy is talented and smart, and it doesn't hurt to play more."

Soon, Lu Rui, under the leadership of Lu Fan, came to the Tiger Forest.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Hulin, Lu Rui was stunned. Is Hulin an earthen city? Due to the fact that the level of architecture in the south was not as good as that in the north during the Three Kingdoms period, the cities in many places were earthen cities, and stone towns were relatively difficult to see.

"Master Hou? Jiangdong is small, which makes Hou Ye smile. This is an earthen city. Lu Fan smiled and introduced to Lu Rui.

"Ziheng said with a smile, although Tucheng is small, it has all kinds of organs, and it is also a barrier to defend Jiangdong." Although Tiger Forest is an earthen city, it is built around the mountain, and it is still an easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Hou Ye's witty words, let me admire it." Then Lu Fan led Lu Rui to live in Hulin.

The next day, Lü Rui and Cao Chong got up early in the morning and followed Lü Fan to Moling.

Along the way, Lu Rui found that all the way from Chaisang to Moling was this kind of earthen city, built around the mountain. A defense system was formed on the road to Moling.

"Master Hou, we've arrived at Moling!" Lu Fan was in the carriage and pointed to the city not far ahead, which was Moling, now the temporary seat of Jiangdong.

When Lu Rui saw it, he almost laughed in his heart, now Moling is still a small city, and the scale is too different from the big city in the Central Plains, I'm afraid it is a little bigger than the inner city of Fan County. No wonder Sun Ce's 3,000 people can pacify Jiangdong, this kind of city is under the siege of heavy infantry, and there is no need for siege equipment at all, and the door will be broken directly, if it weren't for the Yangtze River natural danger, Jiangdong is now a side dish!

"Moling is magnificent, and it is worthy of being the seat of governance in Jiangdong." Even if he despises it in his heart, Lu Rui can't show it, after all, this is other people's territory, it's not good to be too arrogant, and he doesn't have to show the appearance of a dog with Jiangdong.

"Hou Ye said with a smile, compared to Xu Du, Moling is just a small city."

"Jiangdong is plagued by terrain, and it is not easy to have such a city."

"Master Hou, please!" Lu Rui said kind words, how could Lu Fan not know, but now that everyone is an ally, it is okay to say more polite words.

"Ziheng, please!"

Lu Fan arranged for Lu Rui and others to live in Ganlu Temple. This is a very high treatment in Soochow, Yangzhou Buddhism in the Three Kingdoms is more developed, Ganlu Temple is rebuilt by Soochow Group, which belongs to the highest standard of treatment in Soochow.

"Master Hou! This is the Ganlu Temple built by my old lady, Mrs. Sun, and it is the place where I receive distinguished guests in Dongwu. Lu Fan was afraid that Lu Rui would misunderstand, so as soon as he arranged accommodation, he immediately explained to Lu Rui. After all, Buddhism is not as influential as Taoism.

"Ziheng is polite, as long as there is meat to eat and fish to eat, this marquis can live here."

"Hou Ye said with a smile, these dishes will definitely be prepared for Hou Ye!" Monks in the Han Dynasty were unordained and could eat meat.

"There is Lao Ziheng."

Lu Rui took Cao Chong around the Ganlu Temple a few times, played for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest, if there was no accident, Sun Quan would summon Lu Rui and Cao Chong tomorrow. (To be continued......)
