The significance of the Navy to Liaodong was too important and Gongsun Yuan could not refuse.

Liaodong and Central Plains face each other across the sea, and there are only two transportation routes: the Binhai Road in western Liaoning and the sea route between Dazhu and Donglaihuang County.

The coastal channel is severely affected by the seasons. In spring and summer, there is a lot of rain and high sea levels, and the roads are easily flooded and cannot walk.

The sea route is feasible in all seasons, but the navy in Liaodong is too weak and is no match for the Central Plains Navy at all. Once the sea route is cut off, Qingzhou will fight alone. During the Gongsun Du era, he once invaded Qingzhou, seized Donglai and other places, and established it as Yingzhou, but in the end it was not saved.

If there are powerful navy soldiers, the situation will be different.

Who is the strongest navy in the world? Of course it is the Wu Kingdom of Jiangdong.

The best proof is the tower ship anchored by the sea. Without powerful navy, they cannot cross the sea and pass through the Wei Kingdom.

Although he was very moved, Gongsun Yuan was still calm.

"Please let me think twice."

Sun Luban was a little anxious. The conditions were so good, why are you hesitating? Just as she was about to speak, Xiahou Hui, behind her, pulled her sleeve. Sun Luban understood and changed her words.

"It's okay, General, think about it slowly. Let's talk about business first, how about?"

Gongsun Yuan was cunning and saw that Sun Luban was turning absurdly. He looked at Xiahou Hui calmly and smiled, "What business does the princess want to talk about?"

"Of course it's a war horse." Sun Luban said without hesitation: "Apart from war horses, there is nothing that makes people excited about Liaodong."

Gongsun Yuan laughed. "I heard that the princess is a heroic man and is not inferior to a man. She is indeed well-known. Since that's the case, I'll ask the princess to hunt, let the princess see the customs and customs of Liaodong, and choose a horse by the way."

Sun Luban couldn't ask for it. "It's better to obey your orders than respect."

"I think these guards around the princess are all the heroes of the female who are not allowed to be beautiful. Especially the one around the princess, they are obviously from everyone's background, and I don't know which family of Jiangdong is a child."

Sun Luban was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Gongsun Yuan to ask Xiahou Hui, but he didn't prepare any in advance. He said directly, it seemed that it was not appropriate. Just as she was hesitating, Xiahou Hui smiled slightly.

"The general was joking, I am not a child of Jiangdong."

Gongsun Yuan stroked his beard and his eyes were like an eagle. "That is..."

"I am from Qiao and have a more surnamed Xiahou."

"Xiahou?" Gongsun Yuan's eyes narrowed, his smile was a little cold. "That's a famous family in Wei State, but somehow he became the entourage of the Princess of Wu State?"

"It's not just a famous family in the Wei State, but also a hero of the founding of the Han family." Xiahou Hui smiled. "It's just that it has been passed down for hundreds of years, with branches and leaves scattered, some branches and leaves lush, while others have thin branches and leaves. There are thousands of people with Xiahou in Qiao State's surname, and not everyone is a royal family of the Wei State."

Gongsun Yuan had a slight head. "Even so, it is not difficult for you to make a way out in Wei State. Why go to Jiangdong?"

"The world is divided into three parts, and there are more than tens of millions of people leaving their hometowns. Didn't the general hear that Zhuge Langya, his brother is in Jiangdong and Western Shu, each of them is his master, and he retreats without saying anything. Furthermore, as a woman, his way out is limited, and he can be in harmony with the princess, monarchs and ministers. He is a blessing in life, so why should he care about Wei and Wu?"

Gongsun Yuanshen agreed and nodded repeatedly, and couldn't help but look at Xiahou Huigao three points.

There are big families with big families and big families with big families. The legitimate sons are naturally favored by thousands of people, and with the full support of the family, the career path is smooth. It is hard to say that those small families are not only a thousand miles apart, even if the brothers of the same surname are separated by thousands of miles.

His great-grandfather Gongsun Yanben was born in Gongsun, western Liaoning, and was a real big clan. However, the small clan had to become a minor official without the support of the family. His grandfather Gongsun Du was appreciated by the prefect Gongsun Guan, and then he studied and entered the officialdom and became today.

As for Xiahou Hui's mention of Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang brothers, let alone the brothers. The brothers were divided into Wu and Shu, and they were at peace, and the world was well-known.

Gongsun Yuan immediately invited Sun Luban and Xiahou Hui to hunt.

——

Dianfang County was established by Gongsun Du, and the Nanjun of Lelang County was established in the Han Dynasty, leading five counties.

Because it is too far from the Central Plains, there are very few Han people here, most of them are barbarians such as Koreans and Japanese people. The customs and customs are obviously different from those of Han people, and there are not many exchanges in daily life.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, and most of the population is concentrated near the county town. Except for some scattered farmers and fishermen in the remote areas, there is almost no population.

After Cao Miao landed for a few days, he saw less than many people than animals.

Although he was mentally prepared, Cao Miao was still very badly hit by all the things he saw. He had land, but he really started from scratch. In less than a year or two, he could not build a real manor.

After confirming that there was no substantial threat, Cao Miao changed his previous plan to establish a base in a remote place and sent someone to the city to contact the county magistrate of Liekou, saying that he wanted to enter the house in Liekou and build a house to regard himself.

The reason why Liekou County was chosen is because Liekou County is the estuary of the Wushui (Datong River) and has convenient transportation to the inland. Whether it is to log in the mountains to build houses or do business in the future, it is more convenient.

Things went unexpectedly smoothly. A few pieces of Shu brocade and some exquisite items from the Central Plains turned the County Magistrate Liekou into a hospitality host and came to greet him in person, welcomed the rich man to settle down in the lead party, and specially introduced a few good places.

As for why they came from Central Plains, the county magistrate was very sensible and didn't ask.

After investigation, Cao Miao chose a piece of land on the north bank downstream of the river and began to recruit people, build houses, and solve the basic living problems first.

For safety reasons, Cao Miao supervised the construction on the shore during the day and returned to the stairs to rest at night.

The tower ship has strong protection power, so even if there are hundreds of bandits, they don’t want to succeed easily. If the situation is not good, they can still get up and anchor into the sea at any time. When you get to the sea, you really have no opponents based on this size. In fact, just a glance from a distance is enough to discourage the pirates and pirates.

At the end of August, the autumn wind became tighter, and Cao Miao received news from Sun Luban: Gongsun Yuan accepted the negotiation conditions and was willing to let Sun Luban contact the old subordinates of the Yuan family and exchange the shipbuilding technology and naval training provided by Wu. The specific details are still being discussed. It is estimated that if you really see the old subordinates of the Yuan family, you may have to wait until around the Spring Festival.

Cao Miao calmed down and decided to spend the winter in Liekou.

With the current material conditions, entering the mountain to investigate when heavy snow covers the mountain is no different from seeking death.

At the same time, Cao Miao received a message from Tian Fu: The emperor ordered the Grand Marshal Sima Yi to visit Youzhou and control the military affairs of the three prefectures of Youji and Qing. Hearing that Cao Miao followed the Jiangdong Mission north, Sima Yi sent someone to Qingzhou to ask about Cao Miao's information and wanted to contact Cao Miao.

Tian Fu didn't know Cao Miao's attitude, so he said he didn't know. Sima Yi's envoy was still in Huang County, Donglai County, and was preparing to cross the sea to Liaodong.

Cao Miao was very surprised. What did Sima Yi send someone to me for? Could it be that Sima Shi really practiced slant and wanted to ask me to correct me?
