The place where Liu Jian and others settled was the port in Langya State, which was originally the mouth of the sea, but there was no large-scale fleet to enter, and most of the fishing boats that came out every day were fishing boats in the sea.

Before this, similar to Liu Jian and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei led a fleet of ships that could carry thousands of people into the port.

After Liu Jian disembarked at the port, he looked at the other side of the sea and thought thoughtfully.

When he came, he passed by a large island, if he guessed correctly, it was Lianyungang in the later generations, that is, Haizhou in ancient times, and now it is Qu County.

If the whole country can be reunified, the establishment of a naval fortress belonging to the Han Dynasty in Qu County in the future will be conducive to the long-term planning of the whole country.

Of course, in addition to Qu County, including the South China Sea and Yizhou, they are all military important places for the Han Dynasty to dominate the sea, which cannot be ignored.

"General, General?!"

Mi Fang's voice dragged Liu Jian out of his reverie.

He looked at Mi Fang: "What's the matter with Zifang?" ”

Mi Fang hurriedly smiled and said: "General, Fang has already found a place to camp in Xihai County for the sergeants under the general, and prepared meals for the soldiers. ”

"There is Lao Zifang, please lead the way."

Along the way, Liu Jian asked Mi Fang: "The port where you and I meet today is Langya Kingdom, not Donghai County, I know that your Donghai Mi clan has a lot of influence in Donghai County......"

When Mi Fang heard this, she was immediately startled, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare...... The Mi family only has a little wealth in the East China Sea, and they don't have much power, so don't think about it too much......

Looking at Mi Fang's cautious appearance, Liu Jian couldn't help but smile.

"Don't be like this, Liu is located in Hebei, rich in four states and outside Hanzhou, will he still covet your Mi's wealth? Be open-minded! ”

Liu Jian's words made Mi Fang's face slightly red, he knew that he was a little cautious, and showed a lot of strength in front of Liu Jian.

Mi Zhu couldn't come here to greet Liu Jian in person, and I still remember that Mi Zhu said to Mi Fang that in front of Liu Jian, we must show the pride of the Mi family in the East China Sea, and at the same time, we must let Liu Jian see the Mi family's heart for the country and the people, and must not be too greedy and cautious, so as not to provoke Liu Jian's estrangement.

Mi Fangshi's subconscious reaction was somewhat contrary to Mi Zhu's instructions.

He hated to raise his hand and smack himself in the mouth.

"Mi is not afraid of the general's fortune, the general misunderstood! As long as it is for the stability of the country and the peace of the four seas, the Mi family is willing to sacrifice more than 100 million family assets for the general to calm the troubled times and ...... the people."

Liu Jian waved his hand casually and said, "Zifang doesn't have to be like this, don't forget, when you were in Yecheng, you were friends with Brother Xuande, Xuande's friend is my friend, between friends, there is no need to hide your fear." ”

"Yes, yes!"

"I just want to ask, the place where I am waiting to fall off the ship should be in Langya Country, can your Mi family's hand still reach the territory of Langya, my 4,000 men and horses, go south to Langya Country, don't you need to float?"

Mi Fang said: "Back to the general's words, if it is in the East China Sea, it may not be easy to settle down, because Tao Yuanjun himself is in Tancheng, such a big matter, it is inevitable to go through the formal official office process to discuss with Tao Yuanjun, but if Tao Yuanjun knows that the Hebei soldiers are coming again, what will he do, it is not necessarily." ”

Liu Jian said suddenly: "That's why you and your brother designed to let us settle in Langya...... And the Langya Kingdom, although it is nominally under the supervision of the Tao envoy, is actually governed by someone else, right? ”

Mi Fang laughed a few times: "The general knows everything in the world, the situation of Langya Kingdom must not be hidden from the general, the general is right, the current Langya country is Zang Ba's sphere of influence, and the Assassin Mansion cannot directly intervene, if the general's soldiers and horses want to pass Langya, they must have Zang Ba's consent." ”

Liu Jian said thoughtfully: "What is Zang Ba's position now?" ”

"Zang Ba was temporarily recruited by Tao Envoy Jun as a cavalry captain, and then with Sun Guan, Yin Li and others, Zang Ba Tun Soldier Kaiyang, became a force of his own, and occupied Langya State, although Langya State is now nominally supervised by Tao Envoy Jun and governed by the Minister of State, but in fact it has become Zang Ba's private territory......"

"In my Han Dynasty, there is no county that can become a private territory." Liu Jian suddenly said coldly.

Mi Fang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then hurriedly said: "General, this place in Xuzhou is not the same as the side out...... In that place, the yellow turban was rampant, and after Tao Yuanjun arrived in Xuzhou, he was unable to expropriate all the moth thieves, so he could only appoint Zang Ba to pacify the moth thieves, and Zang Ba also because of the pacification of the moth thieves, his power rose sharply, and he dominated Kaiyang, and the local county and the history of thorns could not be governed......"

Liu Jian ignored Mi Fang's explanation and asked, "King Langya, who is it?" Langya Prime Minister, who is it? ”

Mi Fang was stunned.

For a long time, no one asked him who the king of Langya and the minister of Langya were......

It seems that since Zang Ba ruled Kaiyang, no one has asked him about King Langya anymore......

"Back to the general's words, the current king of Langya is Liu Rongye, who lives in Yangdu, and Langya Prime Minister Lu Fen ......"

"Okay, after today's meal, Zifang, you will be the guide and lead me to Yangdu to station."

Mi Fang was stunned when she heard this, and then seemed to hesitate.

"General, my Mi family does not have much industry in Yangdu, but there are quite a lot of solid industries near Linyi, which can be used by the general to order the generals, why should the general go to Yangdu ...... near and far, you might as well be in the "

Liu Jian shook his head and said, "No need, just go to Yangdu to garrison troops...... Zifang, if I'm not mistaken, your Mi family and Zang Ba should have a lot of dealings in private, right? This time, I was able to take a boat to Langya smoothly, and I was able to go south, also because you communicated with Zang Ba in advance? ”

When Mi Fang heard this, her expression was slightly embarrassed.

"General, the realm of Langya, if you don't pass through Zangba, it will be difficult to do anything, this is the rule of this place......"

"In this case, from today onwards, the rules will be changed, and it is my business that I go to Yangdu to garrison soldiers, why bother with Zang Ba?"

When Mi Fang heard this, her expression suddenly became nervous.

"General, Zang Ba heard that the general's soldiers arrived in Langya, and he had the heart to return to obedience, so he specially ordered his subordinates to clear the way for the general, and at the same time prepared a place for the general to camp troops in Linyi, just to take this opportunity to surrender to the general......"

Before Mi Fang finished speaking, Liu Jian smiled.

"Look at it, what I said, your Mi family must have something to do with Zang Ba, so Zang Ba can gain a foothold in a county, how can he not have the support of the neighboring Langya country? Besides, the soldiers under Zang Ba's command are like bandits, not engaged in production, if they don't rely on some heroes, how can they raise soldiers? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Jian suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse, and asked Mi Fang with a smile: "Tao Gongzu has not been able to control the Langya Kingdom, so that the Kaiyang lands fell into the hands of Zang Ba, is it also due to the secret support of your families?" ”

When Mi Fang heard this, she was immediately startled.

He hurriedly explained to Liu Jian: "Although we and other families have dealings with Zang Ba, it is not for the sake of causing trouble in Xuzhou, but it is actually Zang Ba who occupies Kaiyang and cuts off the main road between the East China Sea and Qingzhou in the north...... The Mi family has never had the heart of Xuzhou, just to survive, and has no choice but to communicate with Zang Ba, but in fact, it is also the victim of it. ”

Liu Jian didn't speak, just struck the horsewhip hard, drove his big green horse, and hurried towards the front.

Mi Fang looked at his back in a daze, but she didn't know what to do.

He didn't quite understand why Liu Jian showed this attitude.

Zang Ba has the heart to take refuge, isn't this obviously a good thing?

Zhang Fei came to Mi Fang's side and said to him: "Mr. Mi, you need to know that my brother is a relative of the Han family, the uncle of the Son of Heaven, and a hero who cleared the troubles in Mobei for the Han Dynasty!" ”

"My brother's life's ambition is to prosper Han!"

"When it comes to local thieves, my brother naturally has his own rules!"

"If Zang Ba is sincere in his obedience and leads the crowd to surrender, my brother is naturally willing to accept it and entrust him with a heavy responsibility."

"But if he holds himself as a hegemon in Kaiyang, and sells at a price, and feels that my brother wants to make sure that Xuzhou can't do without him, then he has made a mistake."

Mi Fang looked at Zhang Fei in a daze, a little confused.

Zang Ba is sincerely surrendering, where is the act of waiting for the price to sell?

Just when he was confused, he saw Guan Yu, who was holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, slowly beat his horse and came to Mi Fang's side.

"My brother came to Xuzhou, where to meet Zang Ba, how to surrender to him, is my brother's decision, where my brother stationed troops, he Zang Ba will lead the crowd to return to obedience, when will he be allowed to have the final say? What qualifications does he have to designate a place for us to garrison, let alone a place to be surrendered! ”

"I haven't even been clear about my position, how can I belong to Hebei? This matter has to be thought clearly by himself to make it happen! ”
