Yecheng, Wei State, the back garden of the Wei Palace.

Cao Cao was walking in it. He had been lying on the sickbed in his bedroom for more than ten days. He was so bored that he took advantage of the headache and quickly came out for a walk.

An eunuch who was specifically responsible for communicating orders hurriedly came to Cao Cao, knelt down to Cao Cao, and presented a letter to him, saying, "Report to the king, our detailed work in Yongzhou has been reported secretly. Ke Bineng is dead, and the 20,000 Xianbei army is defeated!"

When Cao Cao heard that Ke Bi Neng was dead, he was stunned at first, and then said to himself: "Ke Bi Neng died, and he died so quickly, which was beyond my expectations!"

Then, he laughed again: "Well, the result is good. If the cranes and clams fight, I, the fisherman, will benefit. Once Kebi dies, the Xianbei will definitely collapse, and the great troubles in the north of our Wei Kingdom will be temporarily eliminated."

Cao Cao was proudly remembering the strategy he personally agreed on with the military chief Guo Jia - who encouraged the Xianbei people to attack the border of Liang from the west.

If the Xianbei people succeeded, Cao Wei would receive a large number of refugees from Liang State in Bingzhou, and could also send troops from Bingzhou to occupy Chang'an in the name of expelling the barbarians. Although the population is much more important than territory at present, the political and intellectual significance of occupying Chang'an, the ancient capital of the Han Dynasty, is extraordinary.

If the Xianbei people fail, then Kebi's prestige among the Xianbei people will inevitably be greatly reduced. Cao Wei can take advantage of this to defeat the Xianbei people entrenched in the former land of Wuhuan, completely eliminating the northern border troubles of Cao Wei.

Half an hour later, Cao Cao came to the Yangxin Hall of the palace, where he was in charge of government administration and orders. Several important officials and generals had gathered in the pavilion to wait for him. After a brief discussion, Cao Cao ordered: "The military order was passed on to Xiahou Yuan, Xu Zhu and Cao Hong, who were stationed in the camp in Beiping, to lead 5,000 tiger and leopard cavalry, and divided into three groups to attack the Xianbei tribes entrenched in the old places of Wuhuan and Goguryeo. Be sure to kill all these Hu people with the momentum of plowing the courtyard and sweeping the caves!"

After Cao Cao ordered these things, he asked Guo Jia with a smile on his face, "Fengxiao, the Xianbei is no longer a problem. Do you see if we can start to seek the world and unify the Jiuzhou?"

Guo Jia shook his head like a rattle and replied: "Your Majesty, it's too early to talk about this matter. We still need to wait for an opportunity. When the population of our Central Plains recovers to a certain level, and when the other princes, including the emperor of the court, cannot bear to take the first step, we can take the initiative."

Cao Cao asked urgently again: "Then look, how long does it take to wait for this opportunity?"

Guo Jia stroked his goatee and said calmly: "The opportunity behind is hard to say, but the population has to be fully recovered, and it will take at least twenty years to wait."

Cao Cao showed a disappointed expression: "Do you have to wait for that long?" He patted his head and said: "I am afraid that I can't live that long. Can I have other ways to worship filial piety?"

Guo Jia replied: "There are, but there are still people, but we need to build a navy that can be far away from the ocean, and go to Yingzhou and Yizhou to plunder the population and come to the Central Plains like Sun Wu."

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said, "Then let Cai Sheng, the surrendered general who came from Jingzhou last year, be responsible for training this navy."

Cai Sheng is the Cai family in Jingzhou. His home is guarding Suicheng on the southern foot of Daba Mountain. After Liu Bei and Liu Qi's mutiny, he saw that his family had no hope of turning the tables. In fear, he walked over Daba Mountain and defected to Cao Wei.

Guo Jia immediately reminded: "Your Majesty, Cai Sheng is only good at the inland waters, and the inland waters and the far seas are not comparable. He alone may not be competent."

Cao Cao frowned and asked, "What should I do if Fengxiao said? Our Wei State does not have people who are good at sailing far seas. The fish people on the Qingxu coast all died almost when they pacified the Central Plains alone. And they may not be familiar with sailing far seas."

In fact, Guo Jia didn't think of a way to deal with it. He thought about it and said, "We still have to find a way to poach people from Sun Wu!"

...

Five marshy sailboats sailed on the calm sea, and Lin Tao, who was standing on the salted deck, felt bumpy.

The fleet of five ocean-going sailing ships sailed out of Shawadi Port, loaded with freshwater grain supplies, and one hundred and eighty sailors headed south.

Most of these sailors were serious criminals of Liang State. After nearly a year of training in Tenglong City, Shawadi Port, they began a long-distance adventure mission. If the mission is completed, they will be exempted from death. Lin Tao is the commander of this fleet. He is also a serious criminal.

Lin Tao was originally a treacherous man on the Yangtze River in Jingzhou. During the chaos in the Central Plains, he went up the river and came to the river section of Yibin, Bashu River Prefecture to take refuge. Later, because his mother was ill and illiterate, he accidentally fell for being deceived and signed a loan loan note. The three silver coins he borrowed at the beginning were profitable and actually owed a huge debt of three gold coins.

The creditor not only wanted to collect his ship, but also to plunder his two sisters as slaves. In desperation, Lin Tao killed the creditor and his servants in a row with a fish knife in his hand. This incident shocked Jiangzhou. The chief official believed that there was a reason for the incident, but the twelve lives would be sentenced to death no matter what.

That day, several jailers asked him to take a hot bath, and set him up a small table of wine and food for him. He thought he was going to be executed, but after he finished eating, the jailers took him to meet a young man in rich clothes.

When the other party met, he explained his purpose straight to the point: "Lin Tao, Gu already knows your affairs. Do you want to die or live? Do you still want to take care of your younger brothers and sisters? Gu can give you a chance."

As a snob, Lin Tao never got ashore in his life and was naturally ignorant. He didn't know that Lonely was the king's claim. Later, he realized that the convenience was Feng Yu, King Liang.

The other party's request was to learn the art of ocean, and then follow the ocean fleet to sea to complete various tasks. The condition was to avoid his death, and his younger siblings were taken care of by the Liang State Office until adults. If the mission failed, the salary and pensions would still be paid to his family. If the mission was successful, it would be no problem for a high-ranking official to pay a lot of money.

Lin Tao could only agree that he was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that his brother and sister would not be taken care of and would be sold as a slave. Moreover, this was likely to be a turning point in his own fate.

Then, he took the letter issued by the government office and rushed to Tenglong City, Shawadi Port to sign up. No one escorted him throughout the process, proving that Feng Yu fully trusted him. In fact, this was also Feng Yu's test.

Finally, Lin Tao was selected as the commander of the fleet with the best comprehensive results and took the fleet out.

When the fleet passed through the stormy Andaman Sea, even Lin Tao, who lived on the inland water for many years, was seasick and vomiting.

Now the fleet has finally entered a quiet sea, but Lin Tao feels that this place is more dangerous than the Andaman Sea. Because the land can be clearly seen on both sides of the fleet, they are already in a strait. On the land on both sides of the strait, there should be some Brahmin forces ruled by them, and they are all vassals of the Jura Kingdom...
