At this moment, in Xuchang City.

Cao Cao also received a report from Xiangyang.

This surprised Cao Cao a little, after all, he and Liu Qi were already completely opposites.

How could Liu Qi dare to ask for a seal?

However, after knowing the contents, Cao Cao was somewhat speechless.

What kind of reckless place is Yizhou?

This Liu Qi went to great lengths, just for this matter, isn't it a little ridiculous, and even ridiculous.

However, Cao Cao did not refuse.

Although the two sides are on the same page, the two families will definitely be divided between the winners and losers, and Cao Cao and Liu Qi can only leave one.

But Sun Quan was in Yizhou overseas and had no influence.

It's just a false name.

Cao Cao did not delay, and directly issued a court decree to crown Sun Quan as the Marquis of Yizhou, but it was just a matter of one sentence.

Don't look at this matter, it has nothing to do with the two sides.

But it made Cao Cao more vigilant.

Liu Qi's move may not be tempting, no matter what, he needs to be vigilant.

This Liu Qi and Cao Cao faced different opponents in the past.

This is a formidable enemy.

To this day, Cao Cao has gone through thousands of tribulations, and he is unwilling and unwilling to stop, so he must defeat Liu Qi.

The appearance of Liu Qi stimulated Cao Cao's fighting spirit.

The other side.

When the imperial envoy came.

Liu Qi led people to greet him and did enough to save face.

But Sun Quan is indeed too far away in Yizhou, so this holy decree needs to be handed over by Liu Qi.

It's something that can't be helped.

Cao Cao was so decisive, it still surprised Liu Qi a little, Cao Mengde is really not an ordinary person!

If other people control the Son of Heaven and face Liu Qi's request for sealing, no matter what time it is, most of them will not agree. Because the Son of Heaven is in Cao Cao's hands, this is the biggest advantage.

No matter how the two sides exchanged troops, Liu Qi was the wrong party.

Cao Cao is the king.

Zhuge Liang and others were there, and Liu Qi said with a smile:

"Cao Cao's mind is really very different from ordinary people, and now the two sides have become mortal enemies, Cao Cao has also lost troops one after another, but he still agreed to this, ordinary people can't do it."

Zhuge Liang's expression was slightly solemn, and he said seriously:

"What the lord said is extremely true, Cao Cao is indeed a strong opponent, although our side has achieved some advantages, but we must guard against it in the future, otherwise I am afraid that Cao Cao will be calculated."

Liu Qi nodded and said:

"It's up to you, anyway, in the near future, you don't have to worry too much, Cao Cao also needs time to accumulate strength, but it's still hard to say who is strong and who is weak at that time.

As long as we do our part, we will not be afraid of Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao is strong, but my Jingzhou, Jiangdong, and Yizhou are not weak, so why be afraid? ”

Soon, Liu Qi said:

"Now that the imperial decree has arrived, let's send someone to Yizhou as soon as possible, I believe Sun Quan should be very happy to learn about this."

Before that, Sun Quan also had the name of Marquis Wu.

But the territory of Jiangdong is in the hands of Liu Qi, Sun Quan has long existed in name only, and Sun Quan occupies Yizhou, and it is just right to give him a Yizhou marquis, and it does not seem abrupt.

In fact, Liu Qi sent someone to send the holy decree.

On the one hand, he was conveying the news, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see what Sun Quan's situation was now.

At the beginning, Sun Quan was asked to go to Yizhou.

The original intention was to let Sun Quan do a pathfinder, Liu Qi does not have the energy to open up overseas now, it does not mean that he will not do this, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely do it.

Liu Qi sent an envoy.

After a lot of hard work, I finally arrived in Yizhou.

Fortunately, most of today's Yizhou is occupied by Sun Quan, otherwise the envoy will fall into the hands of other tribes.

After a little twists and turns, I finally met Sun Quan.

When Sun Quan learned that the person who came was actually coming on Liu Qi's order, he was immediately full of surprise.

But he still asked curiously:

"I don't know what the envoy commands?"

Now Sun Quan still wants to go it alone, but he doesn't dare to turn his face with Liu Qi. if

Liu Qi really wants to kill him, with the combat effectiveness of the Jiangxia Naval Army, there is no problem.

With Sun Quan's hand, he is still not a person, and the equipment with a high degree of battle damage is not an opponent at all.

Therefore, to be a man, you must be self-aware.

If you don't have this eyesight, then you are really looking for death, and Sun Quan doesn't want to die now.

Even without Koto, he has something to do.

Isn't it fragrant to be the king and dominate him overseas?

The messenger took out the decree and said with a smile:

"Hou Ye, this is the holy decree that the envoy specially invited for Hou Ye, and named Hou Ye as the Hou of Yizhou, congratulations to Hou Ye, congratulations to Hou Ye!"

Hearing this, Sun Quan was stunned.

And He Qi, Lu Su and others, they reacted, and they also congratulated Sun Quan in unison.

It's not a good thing, but it's a good thing.

At least both the imperial court and Liu Qi recognized his control over Yizhou.

Sun Quan turned his mind, but he didn't hesitate, he took the holy decree and said solemnly:

"Then please return the envoy and thank the envoy for me."

At the same time, the messenger said:

"Master Hou, when he set off from his humble position, the envoy also reminded him, that is, after letting Master Hou solve Yizhou, he can go south, and there is a place called Luzon."

At this moment, Sun Quan looked confused.

It was an unfolding he hadn't expected at all.

Although Sun Quan now has the idea of going south to expand, but no one knows about this matter except for Lu Su and others, how can Liu Qi know, and send someone to inform him.

And most importantly, that big island in the south is called Luzon?

Sun Quan said he had never heard of it.

Even Yizhou, Sun Quan had only heard of it at first, and he didn't think that he would come here one day.

But now that it's all here, there's nothing to worry about.

Although the life here is completely incomparable with that in Jiangdong, for Sun Quan, this feeling of expanding the territory is not bad, and it is dominated by him, and there is no family power.

When he was in Jiangdong, although all places were nominally controlled by Sun Quan. But many things are not completely decided by Sun Quan, and in the land of Jiangdong, the influence of the Shi clan is very great.

And Sun Quan has strong political skills, so Jiangdong can develop steadily. But even so, it doesn't mean that Sun Quan likes this kind of life.

Of course, he wants to be in control.

Meanwhile.

A guess sprung up in Sun Quan's mind.

Maybe Liu Qi didn't see through his thoughts, but this matter had long been expected by Liu Qi.

When Liu Qi sent Sun Quan to Yizhou, he made such a plan. The situation here is clear to Liu Qi, which shows Liu Qi's horror even more, which is really amazing.

Thinking of this, Sun Quan fell silent.

He didn't know what to say.

On the one hand, Liu Qi's thoughts coincided with him, and he had no intention of stopping him. qs

But on the other hand, thinking that Liu Qi was so powerful, Sun Quan was a little frightened. He had a faint premonition that he might not be able to get rid of Liu Qi.

But thinking of the end, Sun Quan was suddenly relieved.

Anyway, he is no longer in Dahan now, even if Liu Qi is clever, can't he hide if he can't beat him?

Even if it is essential to contact Liu Qi, but the emperor is far away, and he is still in charge here.

Just when Sun Quan was thinking about his future plans.

The messenger continued:

"In addition, the envoy also said that the world is far bigger than Hou Ye thought, in addition to Luzon, if Hou Ye continues to the south, there may be other discoveries."

Sun Quan: "......"

At this moment, Sun Quan was completely silent, if he said that Luzon was mentioned just now, he still heard of it.

The further south, it's a bit outrageous.

It seems a little too far away.

But Liu Qi sent someone to tell him, which also made Sun Quan's heart flutter, of course he had ambitions, but his ambitions could not be displayed in the Han Dynasty, and they could only be pursued here.

If Liu Qi didn't lie to him

Sun Quan still has a lot to do.

Soon, Sun Quan spoke:

"The messenger has worked hard all the way, let's rest for a while!"

After watching the messenger leave.

Sun Quan suddenly spoke:

"Is there really such a vast world as Liu Qi said, where is it...... In the south of Luzon, there are other places, this is incredible, how did Liu Qi know? ”

Lu Su and He Qi both shook their heads.

They don't know the answer to this matter. In fact, no one can guess why.

As a time-traveler, if you can't even figure out the most basic geography, then don't mix it up.

Lu Su noticed Sun Quan's abnormality.

He is Sun Quan's adviser, and he is also loyal to Sun Quan, so it can be said that he knows Sun Quan very well.

That is, to ask:

"The lord is trying to ......"

Without waiting for Lu Su to finish speaking, Sun Quan did not refute, but said with great certainty:

"That's right, if what Liu Qi said is true, I really want to send someone to see what else is in the south."

Since Sun Quan had made a decision, Lu Su and He Qi did not object.

Send a few men to sail south.

decided on this matter, Sun Quan put it into practice, and he really wanted to see what the situation was in the south.

This is not only Sun Quan's ambition, but also to verify what Liu Qi said.

When the envoy returned to Xiangyang.

It's been more than a month later.

When going back and forth, Sun Shangxiang had already reached the time of giving birth.

and lived up to expectations and gave birth to a son to Liu Qi.

This is Liu Qi's eldest son.

At the same time, Ma Yunlu and the foot trainer also have it.

After all, Liu Qi is energetic.

Young people, don't you have to have nothing to do when you're idle.

Liu Qi doesn't care much about whether he is a son or not, his thoughts are not the same as those of this era.

Because except for him, everyone hopes that Sun Shangxiang will have a son.

Now that Liu Qi is in control of the entire four major states, such strength is simply not too strong. Even if Liu Qi can't take Cao Cao, there is no problem in fighting the court.

Therefore, Liu Qi needs an heir.

Even if Liu Qi is very young, having a son and not having a son are completely different meanings.

When a monarch has a successor, there is hope for his subordinates.

If not.

After Liu Qi's death, all parties competed for power and fell apart, and this huge country was also destroyed.

Therefore, Liu Qi's eldest son has great political significance.

But for Liu Qi, these are minor problems, as long as it is his child.

Now he, Liu Qi, also has a son.

Since Liu Qi took the throne, the lives of the people in Jingzhou have been much more stable, and their lives have been much better, and they are very grateful to Liu Qi.

Now Liu Qi's prestige is really not to be underestimated.

And now that high-yield rice has been promoted, although the effect has not yet been seen, it is completely conceivable that when the harvest comes, the people will react.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, Liu Qi's prestige will rise to the sky in one step.

It is of course a good thing to have the support of the people, but for Liu Qi, he values practical interests more. After a few rounds, he no longer had a shortage of food.

This matter is good for the people and good for Liu Qi.

Everyone has something for themselves.

When the envoy returned, Liu Qi was also the first to meet him.

He was still curious about the situation in Yizhou.

After listening to the envoy's report, Liu Qi kept nodding his head, it seems that Sun Quan has mixed well during this time.

If Sun Quan's ability can be used at sea, it is not a bad thing. After all, one day, Liu Qi will also develop to the south, let Sun Quan pave the way first.

Anyway, as long as Sun Quan does things well, Liu Qi will definitely not treat him badly.

Liu Qi is not a stingy person.

Now that Sun Quan is outside, he looks like he is self-reliant, but in fact, he is doing things for Liu Qi.

I don't know if Sun Quan will really be able to find Oceania.

At that time, the new route can be opened in advance.

Meantime.

During this time, Cao Cao was very stable, although there was still a confrontation between the two sides, but it also reassured Liu Qi that he could go about his own business.

Now the affairs in the south, Liu Qi can't take care of it for the time being.

It's good to let Sun Quan do it himself.

At this moment, Liu Qi has an idea.

That's Yamadai.

With Liu Qi's current strength, of course, the island is not worth mentioning, but that place is also of strategic significance.

If you occupy Wajima in advance.

In the future, it was even possible to establish a naval base on Wadao, and then land from the land of Liaodong and attack Cao Cao from the flank.

Such an operation, I'm afraid Cao Cao didn't expect it.

Other than that.

Now the land of Liaodong is not actually in Cao Cao's hands, although Gongsun Kang has surrendered to Cao Cao, but Liu Qi can also trade with Gongsun and buy horses from waterways.

Nowadays, in Jiangnan, the water army is certainly not a problem.

However, if you want to start a duel with Cao Cao in the north, both infantry and cavalry are very important, especially cavalry.

Unpredictable and able to work wonders.

As long as there are horses, the matter of training cavalry can be handed over to Xue Li, which is his old job.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi directly found Zhuge Liang and the others, ready to discuss with them.

Looking at a few people, Liu Qi opened his mouth and said:

"Have you ever heard of Yamatai?"

Yamadai?

This name is a little unfamiliar, Huang Quan shook his head, saying that he had never heard of it, but Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong had heard of some, but they were only heard of.

After all, Yamatai is too far away from Jingzhou.

This made several people look surprised, they didn't know what Liu Qi wanted to do, could it be that the lord wanted to plot against Evil Horse Tai?

Liu Qi rolled his eyes and said:

"This Yamatai is near Liaodong, but it does not border the land, and I want to send troops to take it."

Whether it was for practical interests or to vent a bad breath, Liu Qi felt the need to do so.
