Liu Feng also felt that his previous thoughts were a little pale, and it was not the Sun and Liu alliance in history, but the death of cold lips and teeth.

Jiangxia is thousands of miles away from Liaodong, which can be regarded as the south and the north.

As it appears in the book, it is impossible to conclude a covenant with an incorruptible tongue. Unless, you provide food, money. Let Gongsun Kang have the capital to resist Cao Ying, and let Gongsun Kang feel that you are sincere.

The Gongsun clan of Liaodong made a fortune in Gongsun Du, and during his governance of Liaodong, it was the starting point of Liaodong's strength, in other words, Gongsun Du was equal to Sun Ce of Jiangdong.

Now during the Gongsun Kang period, the Gongsun clan is already very strong. But there is also a weakness, that is, the population of Liaodong is not abundant. Although the Gongsun clan repeatedly sent troops to attack Samhan and the northern ethnic minorities, the plundered population would not be able to farm.

Therefore, food has always been a headache for the Gongsun clan and an obstacle to development. If you give Gongsun enough food, it will be difficult for Cao Ying's gang to destroy Liaodong.

On the other hand, Liu Feng has more food. Although it was very distressing to transport grain to the north on the eve of the great drought, there was not much to do at this time. If the food is gone, it can still be produced, the city is gone, and the prestige is lost. It's hard to get it anymore.

But how can the grain be transported over?

Liu Feng frowned and thought hard. The route to avoid the Central Plains is not impossible, as long as you reach Hanzhong from Jingzhou, then go to Xiliang, and after passing through the prairie, you can enter Liaodong.

However, this route is more dangerous than passing through Cao Ying's territory. There are too many ethnic minorities on the grasslands.

Suddenly, Liu Feng realized the words bypassing Cao Ying. Liu Feng's eyes lit up, and he was on the sea.

Compared with going through Cao Ying's territory to Liaodong, or crossing Hanzhong, Xiliang, and grassland into Liaodong, the sea route is undoubtedly much safer.

As long as the ship passes through Jiangdong from the Yangtze River, it will go north to Liaodong.

It's just that this route, in the era of the late Han Dynasty, may not have been walked. The development of ships should have been during the Warring States period, when the ships of the Chu State were very powerful.

At that time, no one realized that it was possible to go by sea. Because the sea is too windy and rough.

In the Han Dynasty, because the world was unified, the north and south could travel in a carriage. So, no one took the sea route either. Until recently, it was difficult for the princes of the late Han Dynasty to communicate with each other because they were divided into one side. Gongsun Du of Liaodong was the first person to conduct war by sea. He sent his generals across the sea into Qingzhou.

Controlled a small part of Qingzhou.

But Gongsun Du probably didn't make a great voyage either, sailing the ship to Jiangdong.

No one has walked before, it means that there is no experienced crew member, and it means that there is no one. If the ship is driven out and the whole army is wiped out in the wind and waves of the sea, it will be a great tragedy.

Therefore, Liu Feng had a trace of hesitation in his heart, but then he was replaced by the fearlessness in his heart.

Zhou Yu is powerful enough, right? Lao Tzu beat him down. Cao Ying is powerful enough, right? Known as the time of heaven, Lao Tzu is going to war with his subordinate Cao Ren this time.

Even if the wind and waves at sea are severe, they can be overcome. Historical experience tells future generations that the first person to eat crabs has a much greater chance than those who eat crabs later.

Sea route. If Gongsun Kang can be persuaded to unite, the maritime trade can be further developed, Jiangxia grain can be continuously supplied to Liaodong to support Gongsun Kang's war, Liaodong's gold and silver, and even war horses, can be transported back to Jiangxia by sea.

If this route can be developed. Liu Feng's heart burst out with fire, war horse. Massive war horses. Liu Feng's body trembled slightly from excitement.

After a long time, Liu Feng calmed down. Thinking far, the most important thing now is to contact Gongsun Kang and support Gongsun Kang, Yuan Shang, and Yuan Xi's war against Cao Ying.

When Liu Feng regained his senses, he found that Pang Tong and Yi were looking at him with strange eyes. Maybe it was a gaffe just now. Liu Feng's face flashed with embarrassment.

But it quickly converged.

"By sea." Liu Feng raised his head, looked at Pang Tong and the two of them, and said word by word.

"It's too windy and rough at sea to be feasible." Pang Tong quickly shook his head and said.

"In the rivers, people are overturned and die, let alone the sea." Yi also objected.

"Of course I know this, but there is no way to stop Cao Yan at the moment, if we destroy Cao Ren, he will definitely go south. This is a matter nailed to the iron plate, unless something happens in the north and diverts Cao Ying's attention and asks him to send troops to Liaodong. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Feng raised his head and looked at Pang Tong deadly, "I will protect the five cities in Jiangbei if I die, and I will do whatever it takes to do so." Money, food, ships, troops, I have them all. Moreover, we have so much money that it is like a stone in the warehouse, so it is better to try it. Even if the team were to be wiped out at sea, I would be willing. ”

Watching Liu Feng staring at himself, his eyes flashed with ingested light.

Pang Tong nodded with difficulty and said, "If the lord is really willing to spend a lot of money on the sea to try." Then the general will resist Cao Ren for the lord. ”

However, after Pang Tong said this, he quickly said: "But if the team is destroyed at sea and Cao Ren is defeated, and Cao Yingti's army of 100,000 goes south, your lord must also guarantee that the five cities in Jiangbei will be burned." The population was all evacuated to the Xiling area. ”

In Pang Tong's view, Liu Feng was struggling to the death. Limited to the limitations of people in this era, Pang Tong believed that sea navigation was too risky. It's almost a life of nine deaths.

If you can sail from Jiangdong to Liaodong, then there will be no people, and you will still be dragging a carriage and traveling thousands of miles by land.

Therefore, Pang Tong believes that Liu Feng spent a huge amount of money this time to contact Gongsun Kang, which is almost a tragedy. However, as a general, or rather a strategist.

When Pang Tong saw that Liu Feng had already made a decision, he would still carry out Liu Feng's order without hesitation. Before the war, the most taboo thing was to disagree with the commander.

"Okay, if Cao Ying goes south, I will burn the city and retreat." Liu Feng nodded fiercely and said. Immediately, Liu Feng turned his head to Yi Ji and said, "Uncle Ji, go down immediately to prepare and send an envoy to Liaodong." Help contact Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, and Gongsun Kang to find a way to promote their union. ”

"If Gongsun Kang is afraid of Cao Ren's strength, you can wait until the news of my defeat of Cao Ren reaches the north. I'm going to use the defeat of Cao Ren to tell him that Cao Yan is not inviolable. However, the sea route is too dangerous, and you take the land route. ”

"No." Yi also unified his thoughts with Pang and took into account the overall situation. Now that Liu Feng has given the order, he must go on this trip to Liaodong.

After answering the promise, Yi Yuan bowed to Liu Feng and immediately turned to leave. Although his name is engaged, he is actually Jiangxia Taishou. All official documents have been processed by him.

If you go to Liaodong, you can't exercise these rights. It has to be handed over. Be prepared.

"Now, Shi Yuan can tell me, is there any way to defeat Cao Ren?" After Yi left, Liu Feng raised his head and said to Pang Tong.

For Pang Tong to be so confident that he could defeat Cao Ren, Liu Feng was surprised in his heart. There is too much difference in the comparison of strengths, and even more so in the quality of the army.

His idea was to defend the city, and Pang Tong obviously wanted to defeat and defeat Cao Ren.

Speaking of this, Pang Tong showed a smile on his face, and handed the small bottle in his hand to Liu Feng. Liu Feng took the small bottle, a little puzzled.

"The master is from Xu Yuanzhi, so he should know that the five kingdoms are attacking, right?" Pang Tong saw Liu Feng's doubts and smiled.

"I know, Yan General Le Yi led his troops to more than 70 cities in the Qi Kingdom, and the Qi Kingdom was almost destroyed." Liu Feng was familiar with all kinds of major battles in the Warring States Period, and nodded when he heard this.

Immediately, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Pang Tong, and asked in surprise, "Fire Bull Array?" Isn't it already lost? ”

"Yes, the Fire Bull Formation. At that time, under the fierce attack of the Yan State, only two cities remained, and the Qi general Tiandan used the fire ox array to defeat the powerful Yan State in one fell swoop and restore the Qi State. After that battle, the Fire Bull Formation was lost. Pang Tong smiled slightly, looked at the small bottle in Liu Feng's hand, and said, "And the secret of the Fire Bull Array is here." ”

In the first battle of the Qi Kingdom, the glorious fire bull array certainly attracted the attention of the world. As a result, some countries tried to replace the army with the Fire Ox Formation and fought wars, but they all failed. Because, if an ox is set on fire, it will go berserk, and it will go berserk on the spot, killing and injuring its own people. There is simply no way to use it for war.

The method of driving the fire ox has always been in the hands of Tian Dan, and it is said that after the battle of the Five Kingdoms to destroy Qi, Tian Dan defeated the Yan State and restored the Qi State. But it was not liked by the new King of Qi, and the national strength of Qi was very weak at that time. Tian Dan had no chance to attack with the Fire Bull Formation. The secret of the Fire Bull Array was lost with the death of Tian Dan.

When Liu Feng heard this, he immediately pulled out the cork on the bottle, sniffed it with his nose, it was very pungent, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This is medicine?" ”

"Yes, the last general loves these strange objects. A few years ago, I heard that a few tomb robbers dug up Tiandan's tomb and took out the burial goods inside to sell. The general's heart moved, so he went to take a look and found this medicine. This medicine is poured into the water, and after the cow is fed, it is not afraid of fire. In the violent noise, it can make the cattle frightened and go straight to the front. Speaking of this, Pang Tong's face was a little unnatural, after all, it was dug up from someone else's tomb.

Not a glorious thing. He never told anyone about it, he just wanted to use it to study the formula of this medicine, but unfortunately, he never succeeded.

Now, it is going to be sent to Liu Feng for war, this fire bull array, just this battle, may really be lost.

"Okay, good, back then, more than 100,000 troops of the Yan Kingdom were also defeated in a battle under the Fire Bull Array. Not to mention the little Cao Ren, 25,000 soldiers and horses. Liu Feng said hello twice, and his eyes lit up.

Eliminating Cao Ren is to pull out a nail that threatens Jiang Xia. In addition, it can also make Jiangxia famous in the first battle, the real Yang Wei world, and deter Xiaoxiao.

And if Yi also succeeds in uniting Gongsun Kang, then he can drag Cao Ying's retreat. Completely protect the five cities of Jiangbei.
