Hai'an.
It was not yet bright, and in the dark, several giants were slowly sailing from the water towards the ferry.
At the highest point, several soldiers were holding torches, shaking back and forth.
As these giants kept approaching the ferry, countless torches lit up at the ferry, and the entire ferry became particularly bright.
Ouyang was standing among the crowd wearing a thick coat, calmly directing the soldiers on both sides.
The big ships finally docked on the shore and the two sides began handover.
A moment later, a young man in simple clothes led many followers and quickly walked to Ouyang.
The young man's face was filled with a sunny smile. Even in the darkness, Ouyang could see the enthusiasm in him clearly.
"Meet General Ouyang!"
This man smiled and bowed his head and bowed, "I heard the name of the general for a long time, but I never thought that I could see it with my own eyes. Fortunately..."
Ouyang looked at him for a moment, but did not make any mistakes, but looked at the big ships behind him.
"Three warships?"
"But you agree to have seven ships?"
"General Ouyang, don't be angry. The martial law on the river is now on the river. The seven warships are too conspicuous and it is really hard to carry. Only these,
We also took a lot of effort and a lot of effort to bring it here."
"We will hand over these three ships first, the other four warships, and then we will arrive."
The young man explained with a smile, but Ouyang's eyes were full of displeasure, "Who do you think of me as? Do you think I will steal your warship and not fulfill your promise?"
"I dare not! I dare not! General, what I said just now is true!"
The young man pointed at the three ships behind him, "I didn't expect that the general would misunderstand our sincerity so much. Let's do this. I don't want the money for these three warships. After the four warships are delivered, we will settle them together to show our sincerity!"
Ouyang's face finally calmed down a little. He stared at the boy in front of him, "I have never seen you in the past. Whose boy are you?"
The young man hurriedly replied, "I am not a child of a large clan, but a humble person."
"Oh? A humble person who can do such a big thing?"
"Da Chen once imitated your country and promoted officials. Therefore, I was valued by noble people and entrusted with important tasks."
Ouyang wanted to laugh a little, "The State of Chen promoted the capable official to do... :.\n. Oh, forget it, take me to see the boat."
Shi Wenqing took Ouyang toward the three warships.
These three warships are not ordinary warships, but golden-winged ships that Ouyang is quite familiar with.
Ouyang carefully observed for a long time, and then boarded the warship and checked the situation inside in detail. These three warships were completely brand new and there was no trace of being on the battlefield.
Shi Wenqing has been with him and has been introducing Ouyang continuously. He doesn't have to tell Ouyang whether the warship is good or not, nor is he his turn to introduce it. He mainly introduces the origin of the warship and talks about their hard work.
After the two got off the warship, Ouyang was quite satisfied.
He waved to the distance, and immediately someone drove a large number of war horses toward this place.
Shi Wenqing's eyes lit up and he paid homage to Ouyang again.
"Thank you, General! Thank you, General! In a few days, I will send the rest of the ships here... It will definitely be very soon."
Just as the soldiers handed over the horses, Ouyang looked at Shi Wenqing in front of him and pointed not far away, "It will take some time for the handover to go and have a pavilion over there, so I'll go chat with me."
"only!"
The two of them strode over and soon sat in the pavilion. Someone brought wine and some meat.
Shi Wenqing was a little surprised and looked at the wine.
Ouyang laughed, "This fruit wine is also."
"The ban on alcohol has changed, and fruit wine can be drunk."
Shi Wenqing suddenly realized, "So that's it."
The Han Dynasty still prohibits the making of grain wine, but the making of fruits is ignored. For example, wine and other things are allowed to drink.
Shi Wenqing also took a few bites and praised him repeatedly.
Ouyang then asked slowly, "You know there are many southerners who trade with us, right?"
Shi Wenqing was stunned, and then smiled and said, "Your country is vast and wealthy. Of course, there will be no shortage of Chen people who are willing to communicate with your country. I know."
"Well, I won't ask about the situation on your home."
"I just want to ask you something."
"Do you want a chance to make a contribution?"
Shi Wenqing didn't understand Ouyang's words and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Ouyang smiled and didn't care, "Then let's not talk about it, just eat wine."
Shi Wenqing hurriedly said, "General, I am from a humble background. If I have the opportunity to make achievements, I dare not refuse.
But my family is in the south...
"
"Do you think I want to persuade you to surrender?"
Ouyang shook his head, "I don't have this intention yet. I came to you for some other things."
"General, just give orders!"
"Look, there are so many businesses doing business with the big man now, but everyone only dares to do some small businesses, only a few warships and more than a hundred horses, making small fuss. If you want me to tell me, it's really not a big deal."
"You can cross the river with three warships, then you can also cross with thirty warships."
"It's just a matter of how much it costs."
"So small-scale fights, even dozens of times, there is no effect, but it increases the risk. Since that's the case, why not just make a big deal at once?"
"I have countless horses and iron tools here, so I'm waiting for you to get them!"
"There are many southerners who come to trade. Some of them can trust them, and some of them cannot trust them. I really don't want to interact with so many people. I also have to check whether they are sincere. If you can exchange me for things, from now on, I will only interact with you..."
"If you can do this, it's certain that you will be promoted."
Ouyang paused and looked at Shi Wenqing.
Shi Wenqing's eyes were indeed a little hot.
Like Ren Zhong, he was from the bottom of the class and did have some skills and longed to climb up, but the two were somewhat different. Shi Wenqing could contribute more to development and become more greedy.
"General, I will do my best...
"I will definitely not let the general run back and forth for these small-scale quarrels...:."
"Okay, okay, come and have another cup!"
The two of them ate like this for a long time, and Shi Wenqing got on the boat, leaving the three warships, but left here on a merchant ship.
After seeing off these people, Ouyang just asked the warship to take away Hai'an.
After Huang Fa was stabbed to death, trade between the north and the south was started again.
It even had a sharp rebound. The trade volume in these days was extremely large, exceeding the time when it was banned. In less than ten days alone, Ouyang had already met three groups of people and bought a total of eight warships.
Each of them is a medium-sized warship, each of which is expensive, and the Han Dynasty also consumes a lot of things, such as a horse.
Iron tools, etc.
But for the Han Dynasty, these two things are the least lacking, and it is definitely worth it to exchange these for warships.
Before Chen State could not realize it, the Han State had already begun its strategy for Chen State.
A large number of generals were deployed on the borders around Chen State to train troops and stockpile food.
When they were in office, Chen was very panicked and gathered a large number of naval troops to prepare for battle. However, after a long time, he found that they had not launched an offensive, so the Chen people's reaction was not so strong.
As for Wang Lin and others, they are also making every effort to expand the navy and prepare for combat.
The reason why Ouyang promised a larger trade with these southern people was to prepare for war, and they needed to get a large number of warships within the fastest time.
Chen State still did not respond to the actions of Han State, and they were still very busy.
Recently, they are arguing over another big event.
To be clear, this is still a matter of old things.
Buddhism also developed different things in the Central Plains, with contents beginning to vary from place to place in the east, west, south, and north.
Chen Xiang packed the monks of Zhou State and took them home at one time.
At first, everyone had no problems, so they scolded Yuwen Yong and Liu Taozi together, and their lives were still the same.
But after these people from the north were firmly in charge, people from the three sides suddenly realized that something was wrong! There was a heresy!!
The monks of the Three Kingdoms have already had controversy in all aspects. Now that they are forcibly gathered together, they become exciting immediately.
They started various debates.
Their respective supporters also participated, and the scene became quite exciting for a while.
The domestic celebrities are particularly concerned about this matter.
Even the emperor had to ask about it himself.
On the edge of the river, several generals looked at the water directly in front of them and saw many noble carriages crowding on the official road.
He ran towards the south of the city and felt indescribable.
Yang Su licked her lips and looked at the water again.
After Huang Fajitao was killed, Yang Jian finally got some reuse and was left by Chen, and Yang Su finally got the opportunity. Unlike Yang Jian, he had never been evaluated by Yuan Xian, so he got the position of a miscellaneous general, which was considered to have gained some small power.
This Chen State is about to perish.
Yang Su thought silently in her heart.
Seeing that the two countries were about to start a war, there was a debate on Buddhism here, as if this matter was more important than the destruction of the country. Everyone rushed up and negotiated day and night.
And here he clearly saw that there were noble people leaving the river with more and more so-called eliminated warships.
Soon after, I returned here with the horse I picked up from somewhere.
Everyone ignored it, no one dared to take care of it, and no one was willing to take care of it.
The last person in charge of this matter was poisoned to death not long ago.
These people who went out to pick up horses became more and more rampant and unscrupulous. Yang Su was now thinking about how to continue running away.
Chen Guo can't stay anymore. If he doesn't die, it will be really unreasonable.
Once you die, you will die if you are captured.
I have to run, but now the only place I can run is left in the south. I heard that there is another large area of ​​poisonous gas there... Can I survive after I went there?
Yang Su pondered for a long time, but he, who had always been capable, was a little confused at this moment.
Just as he was hesitating, someone suddenly patted his shoulder.
Yang Su was shocked and almost fought back.
I saw clearly that I breathed a sigh of relief.
He smiled and saluted to the other party, "General."
This person is his current boss, surnamed Shen, and is responsible for the safety of the ferry.
General Shen looked around and lowered his voice, "General, can you please accompany me out?"
"Ah? Of course, what will the general give?"
"Oh, a patrol ship hit the reef, just accompany me to see it."
"good."
Yang Su agreed, and soon, several people boarded the boat one after another, and several small boats left the ferry together.
Standing on the boat, the generals gathered together from time to time to talk about something, and looked in Yang Su's direction, with some of their eyes seemingly wrong.
Yang Su's face was calm and she stood at the bow of the boat without any panic.
Only these fake men who hide in the air every day and look sick, can beat twenty of them even with empty hands.
What's more, if you are wearing armor and weapons, even if you go all together, you may be who will kill whom.
After a long time like this, General Chen finally came to Yang Su's side.
"General Yang, actually, those small boats did not encounter reefs."
"oh?"
"Then do you want to?"
"I contacted the buyer, and everyone agreed to sell these ships together. I will bring you here today, just to let you join. If you are willing to join, you will have a copy of the ship you sell in the future!"
Yang Su glanced at him and did not ask what would happen if he didn't agree. He nodded very simply.
"I'll join!"
At this moment, Yang Su made up his mind to run to the south.
Even if there is poisonous gas, you have to leave.
It's going to be over here.
Chen, Luozhou, Nanba County.
The scorching sun is in the sky.
The entire ground was burning in the heat wave, and the light seemed to be twisted.
Nanba County is an important ferry south of Chen State. It has a very small population and only one city is lonely. Most of the people live outside the city.
There are many maverick barbarian tribes here, most of whom do not live in the city, and some do not even live on land.
There is a barbarian on the water here. They come from the north and have always lived on the water. The customs are unique, of course,
Not everyone is like this.
No matter what custom or habit it is, the people habitually call it Yueren.
At this moment, a large Yue people tribe near the ferry seemed particularly lively.
On both sides of the mountain pass, two men were standing, singing loudly to welcome the distinguished guests.
On both sides of the road inside, people were standing full of people. Most of the men were naked and slapped their chests with their hands, and used such dances to welcome guests. Many of them were shaking their flags. The animals above the flag could be vaguely seen as the shape of a snake.
I saw a group of people dressed in Central Plains, and now, under the leadership of the local tribe, strode towards the top of the mountain.
The tribal master was still strong. When he was fighting, his tattoo looked very beautiful and covered with his whole body. He led these distinguished guests into the lobby, and then sat down, which made people come to the hospitality with the wine and wine.
The messenger sat aside with a smile and tasted the local wine.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, the wine here at Mr. Zhang is still so delicious!"
The people dressed in barbarians have the surname Han. In fact, after a long fusion of these tribes in the south, they have become increasingly similar to the Han people in terms of customs, words, names, etc. They usually have Hanfu at home, and they wear Hanfu when they go to the city...::. It is no longer as big as before.
Chief Zhang was first surprised when he heard the envoy's words, and then became lost.
"Since General Ouyang left, no one has praised the wine we brewed."
"The new governor is a villain. I sent my tribesmen to trade in the city. The officials under his devil robbed our goods and arrested our people. I went to ask for people and were almost charged with rebellion..... The same is true for all tribes nearby. They kept levying taxes, requiring us not to pay for food with other things, and they had to pay the grain..... and then sold it with us at the highest price, and then asked us to pay..."
"Things worse than beasts!"
"When will General Ouyang come back?"
The chief could not help but start complaining as soon as he met the messenger.
When Ouyang was the governor of Guangzhou, he had great prestige among the barbarians of various tribes, and he was afraid of it. After he left, his next term was not so easy to talk to and began to make money wildly. On the one hand, he also suppressed these forces close to Ouyang and weakened their strength so as not to rebel.
These envoys are from Ouyang.
They sailed for a long time, disguised themselves as merchant ships in the south, avoided countless dangers, and finally successfully met the chiefs here.
Hearing the chief's complaint, the messenger immediately turned his face.
"General Ouyang is coming back."
"I'm here this time for this."
"Within this year, General Ouyang will lead the army from the north to the south. When he kills those evil people, General Ouyang will be managed again. You will be the same as before and will not be bullied."
Hearing this, the chief was overjoyed and he immediately stood up, "Is there any useful place for us?"
"In the past, we were treated with General Ouyang's kindness, but we failed to help him. If he had orders, we would definitely obey!"
"good!"
The envoy was also very happy, "When the army in the north launched an attack, the troops from all over the country would move northward. By that time, no one would come to guard here."
"If you can raise an army to attack Chen's army from the rear, and let them be attacked by both sides and unable to look after each other, that would be a great achievement!"
"If it can be successful, the emperor in the north will reward them one by one. Unlike Chen Xiang, he has always rewarded them if they have merits and punished them if they have mistakes. Regardless of their origins! General Ouyang and I can swear to testify!"
"The general doesn't have to say much!"
Chapter completed!
