The mighty fleet pulled the sails, followed the sea breeze, and glided straight to the south of the Yangtze River, on the sails, countless seagulls shook their wings with the boat, and from time to time they also stopped at the towering mast to rest for a while, but from time to time a bubble of bird droppings also often provoked the lookout in the mast bird's nest to scold.

The number of people on this expedition is a bit exceeded! Wang Hou originally planned 10,000 people, and his Rizhao Brigade sent 2,000 troops in five regiments, leaving 8,000 Taishan thieves and 4,000 Montenegrin thieves, but both families poured out of the nest, so that the number of people on his expedition this time doubled to 20,000, including more than 1,600 sailors, and the rest were all troops.

Fortunately, Qingzhou has developed a seaport for three years, and the fishing boats belong to Wang Hou's own fleet, the requisitioned Hao fleet, and a total of more than 120 large and small sailing boats, not to mention loaded, and even rich.

As for taking 20,000 people to sail from the north to the south in this era, is it impossible to arrive in Nanjing and Hangzhou in later generations? No problem! Because Sun Quan did it in history, he once ordered the envoy Zhang Mi and Xu Yan to lead more than 10,000 troops to the north to Liaodong to canonize Sun Yuan, the prince of Yan.

Sun Quan's cargo can sail, let alone Wang Hou.

And he also has allies!

After about six days of traveling south, the mighty fleet landed on the shore for the first time on the sea of Yancheng near Gwangling County.

In later generations, Yancheng is at least dozens of miles away from the sea, but now, it is just next to the sea, imitating the Qingzhou model, Chen Deng also built a port here, and the Qi family who hates Wang Hou and hates the root of the itch in his teeth is different, the big landlords of Xuzhou love him to death, this Wang Hou's ship has not yet been on the seaside, and has seen a dense crowd of people with colorful flags to welcome the port, and the guy headed by him is even more familiar.

Xuzhou Thorn Shi Chen Deng!

In the eighth year of Jian'an in history, this foodie had already entered the coffin, but in this time and space, he met Wang Hou, a healthy diet method often mentioned by his mother in later generations taught this goods, and now Chen Deng don't talk about the trend of kicking his legs, looking at the red-faced appearance, he seems to be a little more handsome than back then, standing with him, Wang Hou has become an extras again, and he is jealous and pouts.

"Oh, Brother Wang, you're really not interesting! We have lived next to each other in Qingxu and Xuzhou for a long time, and for a few years, you didn't say that you came to visit my brother, but I wanted to annoy my brother! ”

Regardless of whether it is a transfer of interests or not, this Chen Deng is really interesting enough to him Wang Hou, since he established himself in Qingzhou, he didn't know how much he helped him, looking at Chen Deng's warm welcome, Wang Hou deliberately shook his head with a look of jealousy.

"Wang didn't dare to come to see you easily, before leaving this time, I also asked Mrs. Cao Ji, who is beautiful with Xuzhou Chen Deng? You know how she answered? She said: Jun is very ugly, how can he and Xuzhou Chen Gongye! I haven't seen you in the past, Jun Yan is a few points better than in the past, and I can't compare the little brother, where does the little brother dare to come? ”

I didn't expect Wang Hou to make such a joke, and he was stunned, and Chen Deng laughed helplessly and shook his head.

"Brother Xian is too humble! Who doesn't know the romance of the king, in the battle of Yecheng, even the woman who was favored by the eldest son, the prime minister gave it to the king, in comparison, Chen Yuanlong is not to mention! ”

Yes? It's all here! Then Cao Pi has even more reason to hate himself! The corners of Wang Hou's mouth couldn't help twitching, looking at his slightly deflated appearance, Chen Deng laughed even more and hugged his shoulder.

"Okay, today you and my brother will talk again! Don't talk about the trivialities! Thanks to the virtuous brother, this Xuzhou dish is also delicious and rich, and the foolish brother has set up a banquet in Wanghailou, let's not get drunk! Please! ”

"Please!"

…………

Hulala a large group of scholars embraced, and sent a lot of gifts, pigs, cattle, wine and meat to labor the army, Wang Hou is also close to the people, whoever comes to meet can chat two sentences, so that the other party is flattered, but it is said that they don't talk about business, their level, three sentences and two sentences can't get around a politics, and finally sent away the welcome Xuzhou scholars, Wang Hou wiped the sweat on his forehead with emotion, praised the enthusiasm of the Xuzhou people, and Chen Deng, who took a sip of wine, shook his head helplessly.

"Not to mention the friendship between the virtuous brother and my Xuzhou Tonghai, just today the virtuous brother came with troops, which is enough for us, the Xuzhou scholars, to welcome each other!"

"Oh? What's the trouble with my brother, or is the place not quiet? ”

"If the place is not quiet, it is good, although the foolish brother is not as good at fighting as the virtuous brother, but some bandits, they will clean it up! What really embarrassed the foolish brother was not the Jiangdong tiger! ”

"Did the Sun family use troops in Xuzhou?"

This news really made Wang Hou eat a whale, he was full of astonishment, he couldn't help but raise his head, but saw Chen Deng was annoyed and hummed helplessly.

"The declaration of war did not declare war, Sun Zhongmou was busy fighting with Huang Zu for Jiangxia, and he was fighting in the west, so he didn't dare to provoke the prime minister, but his subordinate Han Dang, he was hateful, and he did the things of the bandits, crossed the river to disturb my border, occupied my county, and a while ago, even Guangling City was occupied by them! That guy still has a face to repair the book to me, go into the city to capture the bandits, and capture it back, I think this guy is Liu Bei's borrowed soldiers, there is no borrowing and no return! ”

The influence of people on people is really great, when Wang Hou wrote to Chen Deng, he scolded Liu Huangshu for something, Chen Deng was quite optimistic about Liu Bei, and now he can make fun of him, but after saying this, Chen Deng immediately became excited again, and asked Wang Hou excitedly.

"Brother, how did this Sun Huangxu provoke you! Now they want to cross the state to attack him! ”

No wonder these Xuzhou scholars welcome him so much, Wang Hou, the big guy is counting on him to help take revenge! However, listening to Chen Deng's question, he muttered for a while, but Wang Hou suddenly glanced left and right, and did not speak out for the first time, looking at his appearance, Chen Deng immediately waved his slap clearly, and several cronies of the Chen family immediately moved away a few feet away.

There were no idle people waiting, but Wang Hou's voice was still very low, and his eyes looked out the window, and he asked in a deep voice.

"As you know, brother, this battle of Yecheng is wrong, the eldest son Pi completely hates the foolish brother, here the foolish brother says again, brother, even if there is no such thing, in the future, the eldest son will inherit the throne, will you tolerate the foolish brother according to Qingzhou, brother, are you based in Xuzhou?"

"Brother Xian is going south, do you have to take refuge in Sun Quan?"

As soon as he heard this, Chen Deng was immediately shocked, but Wang Hou, who could hear it, laughed helplessly: "Brother! Take refuge in Sun Quan? He also deserves it? ”

"Don't hide it, foolish brother, this is planning a retreat for the future! If you go back to Yecheng in the future to receive an idle position, look at people's faces everywhere, and if you are not careful, you may fall victim to political disputes, and the foolish brother is really not used to this life! As the so-called cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks! If you want to continue to be a feudal official, you have to find a place where the cunning rabbit can't die, I am optimistic about Liaodong! There is Donghu in the north, Xianbei Wuhuan in the west, it is a place of war, but it is also a place with heavy soldiers, this time I went to Wu County to borrow grain, is to plan to pave the way in Liaodong, and carry the northern defense for the prime minister alone in the future! ”

"But Liaodong, a bitter cold place!"

"Brother, wasn't Rizhao Island City also a tidal flat and wild place before? It's man-made! Besides, if it's really too prosaic, how can the imperial court need our generation to keep an eye on it all the time? ”

"Would you like to get involved?"

For a while, Chen Deng didn't speak, and now he is a little shocked, the world is still divided, Wang Hou's eyes are so far away! Seeing that he didn't answer, Wang Hou also stopped at the point, and did not continue to talk, but pulled the topic back to the moment.

"Not to mention those who are not yet boundary, this Han Dang is so hateful, but the really hateful is the little child of Jiang Yousun Huangxu, this time you and my brother join forces to give him a way to give back to him, what does my brother think?"

also diverted the topic, plotting against Sun Quan? At the mention of this, Chen Deng also laughed and grinned and nodded.

"The goodness of goodness!"
