The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 354 Going to the Sea, Yamatai



Chapter 354 Going to the Sea, Yamatai
In a blink of an eye, the next day.

With the end of the military parade, the people of the major legions and arms were all amused by the common people, and they all saw the strength of Jingzhou, and the original idea of ​​ordinary people also improved a lot.

At this time, the study in the backyard.

Jia Xu came quickly, and said respectfully outside the house: "My lord, the prefects from all over the country sent people to send urgent items early in the morning, and the lord needs to make a decision."

"Come in!" Zhang Xiu slowly put down the brush, rubbed his temples with his fingers, he was so sore, and he didn't sleep well these days because of these trivial matters.

"My lord, this is an urgent letter sent overnight by the county guards from all over the country. I have only seen it before, and it is all about joining the army. The number of people joining the army in various places has suddenly increased,"

"As of now, more than 30 young and middle-aged men have joined the army in various places, and the number is still rising rapidly. It is estimated that as of today, it may exceed 50."

Jia Xu was also emotional, a little ashamed.

It was the first time in his life as a soldier that he saw such a crazy person joining the army. Tens of thousands of people went to join the army at every turn. This kind of thing is too...

"So many?" Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows, also a little surprised, but most of these people were because of yesterday's military exercise and parade, and most of them were temporarily brain-fever.

"Soldiers are good but not many. What's more, Jingzhou now has an army of 30, which is enough. If there are more, it will become a burden for Jingzhou."

"In this way, some people who are too physically fit will be left behind and added to the various legions, and all the rest will turn back." Zhang Xiu raised his hand and instructed.

"No!" Jia Xu agreed.

"Oh, by the way, my lord, the envoy from Yamatai came to my house last night to ask when the reinforcements will arrive. My lord, look..." Jia Xu raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively.

"Let him wait quietly. It would be best if both Yamatai and Gonuguo will suffer." Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice, "Oh, by the way, the workshop you arranged is ready?"

"Three segmented separation workshops, grinding saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal respectively. Plus two processing and manufacturing workshops, one is used to make fuzes and mix saltpeter, etc., and the other is used for filling."

"These two are closed management, workers will not have contact with outsiders, at least we can guarantee that this formula will not be leaked for ten years."

Jia Xu said swearingly.

"Well, let the pottery factories outside the city fully cooperate. As for the size, shape, etc., they can all be changed. When Hong Tianlei is put into production, it's time to go to the island country."

Zhang Xiu said with a little emotion.

He had to go on the trip to the island country. He wanted to completely cut off the foundation of the island country, make these people slaves and handmaids, become inferior people, and mine the gold and silver of the island country.

"Okay, let's go down first."

"In addition, tell the generals to prepare soldiers and horses at all times. It is estimated that they may leave at any time in the next few days. Let people prepare the things they need to travel at sea."

Zhang Xiu gave another warning.

"My lord, don't worry, my subordinates will make arrangements now." After Jia Xu finished speaking, she also clasped her fists and retreated.

…………

Three days later, the Central Plains were irrigated with heavy rain.

In Yanzhou and Yuzhou, countless people cheered and cheered, and the water transportation to various places also started, because the waterways of various places were excavated, and the waterways were also widened and connected.

For a while, the people of the Central Plains breathed a sigh of relief.

The pressure on Jingzhou has also been reduced a lot.

In Yingshui, Jishui, and other water systems, boats of various sizes are rowing, and there are many merchants among them, and they are all trying to make money from the common people.

As for the ancient capital of Luoyang,

It was abolished by Dong Zhuo in the early years, but now it has been rebuilt by craftsmen and has been restored a lot.Anyway, Luoyang is also the largest city.

…………

At this time, outside Xiangyang city.

Zhang Xiu took three hundred personal guards, Gao Shun's camp, and the army led by Wei Yan, a total of 1 people, accompanied by Gan Ning's five thousand elite navy, took more than a hundred ships of all sizes, and went straight to the island country.

As for the accompanying generals, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Gao Shun, Wen Chou, Han Meng, Gao Lan, Hu Che'er, Zhao Fan and other generals, the scribes belonged to the Zhangxiu faction.

In this battle, Zhang Xiu didn't just go to rescue, the reason why he brought this group of scribes was to rule directly.But looking at Zhang Xiu's battle, it made Nan Shengmi very happy.

On the warship, as Xiangyang got farther and farther away, Zhang Xiu slowly looked away.This trip is estimated to take a while, and I have to leave home again, and I am irritated.

At this time, Nan Shengmi stepped forward.

With piety on his face, he looked at Zhang Xiu excitedly and said, "Master Prime Minister, you are a friend of my Yamatai Kingdom, and we will treat you with great hospitality when we arrive in Yamatai."

Zhang Xiu smiled gently, grabbed the water bag and took a sip.

"My lord prime minister, don't worry, our lord queen is a person who repays her kindness with gratitude, and she will definitely let the people of Yamatai Kingdom entertain you."

Despite the embarrassment, Nan Shengmi still talked openly.

He has even seen that he was honored by the Yamatai people because he moved to rescue the soldiers, and he will be the second most important person in Yamatai by then.

The more he thought about it, the more excited and happy he became.

With so many soldiers passing by, Gou Nu Country will be vulnerable, and by then, it will be too easy for Yamatai to dominate the world.Moreover, the big man is the kingdom of heaven, so it is only natural to help them.

Zhang Xiu shook her head with a smile, and went back to the cabin.

This time, we are still driving on the Han River. It is estimated that it will take some time to enter the river, and then go to sea.

…………

A few days later, at the Qu'a Water Village in Wu County.

The ships docked for supplies, all kinds of water resources, food, including all kinds of living utensils, were all fully replenished, enough to feed the army for more than a month.

"Quick, quick, anchor when you're ready."

On the deck, the busy crowd was rushing back and forth, all kinds of military supplies were piled up in all the cabins, and they even brought a lot of other things, but Nan Shengmi was confused.

Because there are some things that are completely unusable, it seems that they are only involved in the governance of the local area, but others speak lightly, can't speak, and don't dare to question too much.

With a yell, countless ships began to pull their anchors and headed for the distance.

…………

Another few days, on the blue sea thousands of miles away.

In the past few days, it has been hard for the accompanying soldiers.

There was no wind and three feet of waves on the sea, even if the sea was calm in the eyes of ordinary people, it would still make the warship bump, and countless soldiers began to vomit, even Gan Ning's navy could not bear it.

The turbulence of the sea exceeded everyone's imagination.

And on the deck, Zhang Xiu looked at the blue sea with a binoculars, but some places looked dark because it was too deep.
To be honest, those who have not seen it will be a little scared.

Deep-sea phobia, which most people will have.

"Fuck, come on, look, it's such a big fish!" Hu Che'er's eyes were suddenly attracted by the churning whale not far from one side, mainly because it was too big.

Looking at it, it is almost the size of their boats. They have heard of the dead ones, called sea beasts and so on, and various titles, but the living ones are rare.

Wen Chou has lived in the Central Plains for a long time, and he has never heard of it. Looking at the eight or nine feet in size of the whale, he swallowed, thinking that one bite of this thing would not be enough for him.

"Sperm whale, the head occupies one-third of the body length, and the head is full of fat, which is the finest lubricating oil, spermaceti. Swallowing squid in the stomach and intestines may leave ambergris."

"This thing should be one of the top spices, and it cannot be cultivated artificially." Zhang Xiu looked at the whale and couldn't help but said that this was the first time he saw a whale.

The generals glanced at Zhang Xiu, each of them admiring, his boss knew everything, and there was nothing he didn't understand.

"My lord, you also know this?" Hu Che'er swallowed his saliva and asked in a daze.

"Know a thing or two." Zhang Xiu muttered, but when she looked at the spots on the sperm whale, Zhang Xiu said to herself: "Maybe they are also very tired and in pain!"

Zhang Xiu knew that those spots were barnacles, a kind of parasite, because animals don't have hands, so they can only let it go.And this thing sucks blood and releases mucus at the same time.

Not only whales, but also sea turtles and other marine creatures are confused by this thing, some are so painful that they commit suicide, and the only advantage of this thing is,
It's just an extra layer of armor.
Some killer whales hunt whales, and these things give some protection.

"Do you know how much distance is left?" Zhang Xiu looked around and said.

"My lord, at this speed, we should be able to reach the nearest dog slave country in five days!" Zhao Fan explained.

"Don't worry about Gou Nu Country, let's go directly to Yamatai!" Zhang Xiu said, and went straight back to the cabin.

And the next few days were uneventful.

For these inland landlubbers, when they faced the sea for the first time, they were excited from the beginning and gradually became bored. The main thing is to open their eyes every day to hear the sound of the waves.

It's so annoying.

…………

Xuzhou, Tancheng!
The entire city of Tan was shrouded in haze due to the flames of war, and the inside and outside of the city were filled with the smell of blood, which was caused by many days of fighting.

At this time, the general's office in the city.

"My lord, good news, great news!" Cheng Yu was dancing with excitement while talking, and his face was even brighter.

"Let's hear it." Cao Cao asked with a frown.

During this period of time, he had heard this sentence countless times, but it was mostly about trivial matters, even killing hundreds of enemies.

"Let's go, Zhang Xiu is gone. My lord, according to the report from Xiangyang, Zhang Xiu has set off with his army more than ten days ago. It is said that he went to the sea to help the Yamatai Kingdom."

"My lord, the time has come, the time has come! Now that Zhang Xiu is going on an expedition, the people in Jingzhou must be in panic, so all you need to do is to unite with Yuan Shang, Liu Bei and others to attack together, and Zhang Xiu's army will surely be defeated."

Cheng Yu was a little excited, this was exciting news, it was so rare.

"Rush to aid the Xiematai country?" Cao Cao wrote suddenly, staring at Cheng Yu with a frown and asked, "Is this true?"

"Eighty or ninety percent!" Cheng Yu replied.

"No, it should be a fake. Zhang Xiu is old and cunning. I'm afraid it was his plan to make me wait for a counterattack, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman. Don't be rash."

Cao Cao shook his head firmly.

Based on his knowledge of Zhang Xiu, this person would not do such a thing blindly.It would be even more nonsense to say that he sent troops to prevent himself from occupying Yamatai.

"My lord, don't be a bird of fright! Zhang Xiu has mobilized many people to go to sea this time. I am afraid that he really wants to take down the Japanese island country of Yamatai."

"This is a battle opportunity, don't miss it!" Cheng Yu was a little anxious, they had been beaten so badly by Zhuge Liang during this time.

This person is too strong, not only in terms of equipment, but also in logistics. The key point is that this person's Yangmou game makes Cao Cao a headache. This is Cao Cao's most troublesome opponent, even more painful than Zhang Xiu.

After all, it doesn't hurt to fight Zhang Xiu.

Close your eyes and come here!
"My lord, what Zhong De said is true, but I think that I can send someone to investigate the matter, and at the same time inform Yuan Shang of Jizhou, Liu Bei of Guanzhong, and Liu Zhang of Yizhou."

"Just say, Zhang Xiu has already led people to leave Jingzhou, let the three of them make preparations first, and accumulate troops, food, weapons, etc." Xun Yu thought for a while, and said immediately.

"Wen Ruo wants to use the other three families to save us?" Cheng Yu squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, since it can be used, why not use it? If the information is correct, then several families will gather heavy troops to counterattack, so that Zhuge Liang will definitely lead the army back to defend."

"Even if the information is wrong, it can make Jingzhou feel a little bit more afraid, relieve the pressure on our army, and restore our troops as soon as possible to improve the people's livelihood." Xun Yu said solemnly.

"What Wen Ruo said is very true, so we will do what Wen Ruo said." Cao Cao hesitated a little.

"Zhuge Liang outside the city, this man's formation is exquisite, his layout is rigorous, and he has no flaws at all. He is absolutely invulnerable. Can you find a way to defeat the enemy?" Cao Cao asked with a glance.

When it comes to flaws, he is also flustered.

This Zhuge Liang played the flaw to the extreme. At first he dismissed it, thinking that Zhuge Liang was nothing more than that, because he saw the flaw.

It's just that, in the end, he was led by the nose almost all the way in the end. Even if he saw Zhuge Liang showing his flaws, he didn't dare to fight anymore.

"This..." The generals hesitated.

"My lord, there are countless troops under Zhuge Liang's command. There is no need to think about ways to defeat the enemy. You just need to wait for the news from the scouts." Xun Yu said softly.

He could see that Cao Cao was physically and mentally exhausted.

"Forget it, let's go!" Cao Cao waved his hand. Now the morale of the armor in Tancheng is low. He mainly wants to restore some morale, but he is really inferior in all aspects.

Now, Cao Cao can only rely on the city to hold on.

With Tancheng and Taishan as the horns of each other, the best defensive strategy is to strengthen the wall and clear the field.

…………

A few days later, on the southwest side of the island country.

As the warship got closer and closer to the land, the seabirds in the sky had begun to gather, and some bold seabirds landed directly on the cloth sail of the warship to rest.

Some more active seabirds rush into the sea from time to time, with a fish stuck in their long beaks, some fly away probably to feed their chicks, and some try it out by themselves.

"My lord, we've arrived. The frontier should be the border of Yamatai Kingdom." Gan Ning put down the huge map and said loudly, pointing to the distance.

"Prime Minister, our country is ahead. As long as we land, I will notify the queen as soon as possible, and ask her to gather the people and arrange a feast."

Nan Shengmi jumped out and said excitedly.

After a long time, I finally came back.

"Hehe," Zhang Xiu chuckled, he didn't kill him directly, and he should be of some use in the future, like finding Himiko's hometown for them.

"My lord, don't get excited!"

Hu Che'er chuckled, knowing that later he would be able to drink a pot from Yamatai.

And as the three armies landed, the soldiers who had had enough of the waves felt much better one by one, and there was some water in their stomachs, and finally they didn't have to vomit.

Some tents have already been set up, and the three armies have begun to live and cook, and Nan Shengmi asked the deputy secretary to notify Himiko.
