Guo Huai and Sun Li arrived at Ganning's water village, which became a major step for Yuan Shang to install in the meantime, and at this point, Yuan Shang finally made the necessary contact with Sima Yi.

After Guo and Sun saw Sima Yi, they immediately flew a pigeon and passed the book, and reported Sima Yi's situation in Ganning Water Village to Yuan Shang 1510.

The speed of flying transmission is naturally faster than that of people transmitting messages, not to mention that Gan Ning's water village is not far from where Yuan Shang is located, and the letter is delivered on the same day and received on the same day.

Yuan Shang squinted his eyes, looked at the information transmitted by Guo Huai and the others, and shook his head helplessly while watching.

"Sima Yi, this guy, yes, developed, not to mention entering the water village, he has also become the second leader of Gan Ning, giving advice to the leader of the water gangster, attacking the four generals of Jiangxia and defeating the five generals of Eastern Wu and Huang Zhong in Sanjiangkou, all of which are from this guy's handwriting......"

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang couldn't help but sigh and look up at the sky.

Sima Yi has indeed grown a lot of skills over the years, although there is still a distance from the ruthless, vicious, forbearant and tenacious Emperor Xuan of Jin in history, but he has begun to gradually show his true colors, and he is on par with himself, and even in some special times, he is even better than himself.

Yuan Shang relied on his own vision and not being constrained by this era to face the enemy, but Sima Yi was a real skill.

"Lord, in addition to Sima Yi's recent situation, what else did the letter from Guo Huai and Sun Li say?" Yuan Shang's side, Deng Chang's ghostly probe asked.

Yuan Shang was silent for a while, and said, "Guo Huai Sun Li didn't have anything to say, but Sima Yi had something to report. ”

Deng Chang hurriedly asked, "What did Sima Yi say?" ”

Yuan Shang was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Sima Yi said that Gan Ning is a fierce general in the world, brave and courageous, although he is born in Shuikou, but his ability to command is no less than that of Zhang He. There are also great talents who can command and train the navy, and he told me not to give up on this person, and to find a way to recruit him. ”

Deng Chang suddenly heard the words and said, "What about the Lord's will?" ”

Yuan Shang pondered for a while and said: "Hebei soldiers and horses, with war horses dominant, tigers and leopards have been defeated, Wuji Yingcheng can be described as the world's first horse, more than enough to level the north, but Sun Quan of Eastern Wu." Occupy the southeast half of the wall, its sailors are known as invincible in the world, if there is really one day and Sun Quan barrier to fight in the future, on the Yangtze River, my Hebei war cavalry can only look at the river and sigh. ”

Deng Chang heard this: "Then what do you mean?" ”

"Sima Yi advised me in the letter that we must look at the long-term in life and work, although in the short term our primary enemy is still Liu Bei and the remnants of the Cao family, but Hebei and Eastern Wu will eventually have a big war, and this big war must be won. It must be based on the water war, and if you want to win the Dongwu naval army, the premise is nothing else, and my Hebei must find a way to establish a strong naval division. ”

Deng Chang bared his teeth when he heard this. said: "Water builder, how much financial resources does this cost?" Although our Hebei has been recuperating well in recent years, it is also tired after the battle of Guanzhong. I'm afraid that the treasury is not financially sufficient. ”

Yuan Shang thought for a while and said, "I thought of a move, now Tian Yu is under the jurisdiction of Liaodong and assimilating the alien race little by little. In the past few years, Xianbei and the Xiongnu are still honest, quite cooperative, the culture of the Han Dynasty has begun to enter its territory, they pay tribute every year, treat us with great respect, Tuoba Liwei and Badun also migrated to Shengle, the grassland departments are quite organized. They pay thousands of cattle and sheep for Hebei every year, but there are very few gold silks, I intend to increase rent collection in the coming year, let them supply gold silk, for Hebei to build a water division. ”

Deng Chang was surprised when he heard this, and said: "Lord, you still think about it before giving an order, although the grassland barbarians have countless cattle and sheep, where do you let them find this gold for you?" I think they have a lot of sand. ”

Yuan Shang thought for a while and said: "If I remember correctly, in the northwest of the territory of Dahan, outside the border of Liangzhou, there are many small countries such as Wusun, Qiuzi, Shule, Shanshan, and the rear of Cheshi. ”

Deng Chang frowned and said: "But these small countries, since many years ago, have not been controlled by Liangzhou, and now only the Qiang people have a relationship with our tribe, and it seems quite inconvenient to go there to collect rashly." ”

"That's because Liangzhou was not subject to my festival in the past, so these things have been empty, but now I want to restore the prestige of the Celestial Empire little by little, and I have to start when I should start, and if I can't send troops in the territory, I will use the migration of the Mobei Grassland Department to do these things, and we will not be able to come forward?"

"It's not easy to do, it offends the interests of too many tribes, and Tuoba Liwei and Trance are ...... Will it be done? ”

Yuan Shang thought for a while and said: "They must be unwilling in their hearts, but after I joined forces with Cao Cao to fight, Mobei was already greatly injured, not to mention that Tian Yu's education work is doing well, these alien races are still relatively pro-Han, and they are already aggressive in their bones, let them rob other people's things, if the work is done well, it is still feasible." ”

"Overseas development is not trivial, and I ask the lord to think about it."

"I've been thinking about this for three or four years, I have to do it, to be honest, sometimes I think overseas development is more important than we deal with Liu Bei, Cao Zhi, Sun Quan, if we don't develop them, maybe after many years, these alien races will be strong, and they can eat us in turn, this thing is by no means impossible."

“……”

"There is one more thing, I just remembered that it is inconvenient for Hebei to send troops to this side, and at the critical moment, it is necessary to transfer troops from Guanzhong, you go immediately tonight, hurry up and go to Chang'an in person, meet with Zhao Yun, and ask him to secretly send someone to move troops to the realm of Wanluo, if there is any negligence, come to meet immediately!"

"No!"

*****************************

The next day, Yuan Shang personally rushed to Li Song's mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw Li Song's anxious look, and when he saw Yuan Shang coming in, he hurriedly got up.

"Yuan San, you're here, come on! I have something to discuss with you! ”

Yuan Shang smiled slightly: "Li Gong burned the warship, Jiangxia shook, Huang Taishou just named you a military general, ranking above the generals, this is a great joy, why is it so melancholy today?" ”

Li Song stomped his feet heavily and said, "Don't worry, you don't know what to do, then Xiangyang sent a messenger to Jiangxia." ”

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows: "He sent him himself, what does it have to do with Gong Li?" ”

Li Song sighed and shook his head: "You don't know how to do it, then Liu Bei sent a messenger to come this time for nothing else, but to recruit that Shui Kou Ganning, what kind of person is Gan Ning, that is from Jiangxia and betrayed from Huang Taishou!" What is Liu Bei's intention? If he surrenders Gan Ning, how should Jiangxia and Xiangyang get along in the future? Huang Taishou was angry in his heart, but he had bitter words, so he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, he asked me to share his worries, you say me...... How can I do this! You have to help, brother! ”

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this, and said: "This matter is easy, it has to be your will, it is not Uncle Liu Huang who can recruit him, it depends on Gan Ning's meaning, to be honest, it is difficult to recruit Gan Ning, but it may not be a difficult thing to stir up this matter." ”

When Li Song heard this, his spirit suddenly woke up: "What does Brother Yuan mean by this?" Please elaborate on it! ”

Yuan Shang said with a smile: "The envoy came to Jiangxia, if he wanted to go to Ganning Water Village, he must be escorted by our Jiangxia usher, Li Songke recommended himself, personally went to say surrender together, and circled with Zhongzhou, secretly stirred up this matter, and did not let it happen, then Huang Taishou will definitely thank Li Gongzai!" ”

When Li Song heard this, he blinked and said, "But I don't have that ability?" ”

Yuan Shang secretly scolded Li Song for being stupid × in his heart, but he had a solemn look on his face.

"Li Gong rest assured, Yuan is willing to accompany Li Gong to the thief water village and his party, and serve Li Gong as a dog and horse."

Li Song blinked, turning worry into joy: "With Yuan San with me, I don't have to worry about it." ”

***********************

A few days later, the envoy from Xiangyang, Jingzhou really arrived in Jiangxia as promised, it was Cui Jun and Yi nationality composed of the main and deputy surrender group, the two came almost did not stop, immediately prepared to go to the water village, when Huang Zhong was ordered to garrison Jiangxia, has not yet returned to the north, but also as an escort to go together, more Li Song Yuan Sanming as a guide, in fact, by Huang Zu's secret order to stir up, together with Ganning Water Village.

Cui Jun, Yi and others have never met Yuan Shang, so they don't know each other, they only know that they are engaged in Li Song, so they also get along well.

The boat sailed up the river, watching the scenery along the way, and soon arrived at the water village of Ganning.

Among the thieves, there were already spies who received the news of the arrival of Jingxiang's envoys, so some leaders were already in the port.

After getting off the boat, Yi Yuan glanced around, but saw that although the water village was simple, it was well ordered, and the boats echoed before and after, and couldn't help nodding in admiration.

"A good Gan Ning, he really has the talent of a general, and he can list the water village on such a scale, which is really not comparable to ordinary people, and he is a real general, such a person, is it a pity to be in the middle of the river and grass?"

Shui Kou, who was in charge of greeting him, was happy when he heard this, and said: "What my lord said is comfortable, but unfortunately it is a little late, and today is the second time I have heard it." ”

Cui Jun was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

The thief Kou said to Nunu next to the boat where the Jingzhou envoy group was riding: "Oh, I saw that the boat is not there, I just pulled people over this morning, and when I got off the boat, I also said that I will lead the generals, talents, and a lot of fart, and my ears are calloused." ”

Behind everyone, Yuan Shang's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he said, "I don't know who is on the boat?" ”

"The messenger of Eastern Wu, Lu Su!"

When the envoys in Jingzhou heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked, but Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows and bowed his head to Li Songdao.

"Gong Li, good things are coming, it seems that it is not just the two of us who are stirring up the situation this time, with Soochow, this matter is easier to do."

"......" (To be continued......)
