Thank you for the tip!

Jia Xu didn't know whether he really agreed or understood what Cao Cao thought in his heart, and nodded very approvingly, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true!" Wechen also thinks that we don't need to worry about people here! ”

However, Xun Yu and Lu Su were still frowning, they always felt that this matter was handled very inappropriately.

"Alright, don't think about it anymore!"

Cao Cao turned his head and asked Zhang Xidao, "Wangjiang, how is the situation in Fusang now?" ”

Zhang Xi said: "Back to Your Majesty, after the army of Yamatai received the armaments provided by us, it has completely stabilized the land front!" However, it is still in a completely passive position on the sea, this morning just received a piece of information, more than ten days ago, the Fuso Northern Coalition Navy raided the Jinzhe Port of Yamatai, destroyed a fleet of Yamatai here, and then landed 5,000 Army, but was finally repelled by the 20,000 Yamatai troops who arrived in time, this battle, Yamatai suffered very large losses! ”

Cao Cao touched his chin and smiled, "Landing battle?!" Interesting! ”

Cao Cao raised his head and smiled, "The current situation is very good!" Just let them fight like this! At the same time, increase the trade with Yamatai, as well as the Northern Coalition Army, it just happened that a lot of retreated ring-headed knives were piled up in the treasury and sold to them, in short, whether it is Yamatai or the Northern Coalition Army, there is absolutely no room for one side to occupy an overwhelming strength, and Fusang, who has been fighting a big war, is a good Fuso! ”

When everyone heard this, they all smiled knowingly.

"Wen He, order the personnel of the Jinyi Guard to closely monitor the movements of the two sides, and report back immediately if there are signs of peace talks between the two sides." Cao Cao ordered.

Jia Xu made a promise.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there any movement in the north on the Jin side?" ”

"Everything is calm in the north." Xun Yu replied.

Cao Cao muttered, "The Jin Kingdom has withdrawn from the West. Apparently he wanted to concentrate on the east! Are they targeting only a few small countries in Central Asia? ”

Cao Cao frowned and asked Liu Ye, "Ziyang." What about the Navy? ”

Liu Ye immediately replied: "Go back to Your Majesty, according to Your Majesty's will." The third and fourth class warships have been built, and the navies of the two generals, Gan and Zhou, are training according to the plan set by His Majesty! ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and said to a few people in an inquiring tone: "At present, the border of my Great Wei is peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is nothing major to do, I want to take this opportunity to take a walk to Chaohu Lake?" ”

Several people exchanged glances, and Xun Yu asked, "Your Majesty wants to inspect the Chaohu Navy?" ”

Cao Cao nodded, and said with a deep look in his eyes: "In the future, the war will not only be on land, but also on the sea, which will become one of the most important battlefields!" ”

Looking at a few people, he ordered, "The time I left. I bothered a few Aiqing to preside over internal affairs, and if I encountered something important, I would fly a pigeon and send a letter to inform me. ”

Several people felt that Cao Cao's trip was nothing, so they agreed together.

Cao Cao discussed internal affairs with a few more people, and then the meeting was dismissed.

Just as Cao Cao was preparing to go out to patrol Chaohu, a great change had taken place in Rome in the far west, and Caracalla's army succeeded in raiding Rome without the Senate knowing it, and the army that invaded the city of Rome immediately arrested the thirteen senators of the Senate, but did not kill them.

Immediately afterwards, Caracalla entered the Roman capital he had longed for, surrounded by troops. The land of power, and the people of Rome are also very curious about this legendary prince, and they have to admire the curiosity of the people of Rome, who do not seem to show any fear because of the recent war. Instead, they flocked to the main streets of Rome to catch a glimpse of the former prince who was about to reach the pinnacle of Roman power.

From a high platform outside the Roman Palace, Caracalla announced to the hundreds of thousands of subjects gathered in the square that he, the Grand Prince of the former Roman Emperor. Here, inherit the Roman throne and become the new Roman Emperor!

The square was filled with thunder, and the people surrendered to this leading crusade. The new emperor who played the majesty of Rome, and the soldiers rejoiced that their generals would become emperors!

Emperor Caracalla, in the name of the Senate, was already panicked. The scattered army of the former Senate issued an order to recruit peace, and the vast majority of the army soon pledged allegiance to the new Roman emperor.

Caracalla scattered these armies and reorganized them into the Twelve Legions, a move that upset the few generals who had lost their power, but made the vast majority of the surrendered army completely abandon their worries.

Caracalla immediately sent his general Seth with six legions of more than 400,000 troops to the province of Upper Germania to the north of the province of Lysia, and at the same time sent another of his generals, Xerxes, to lead an army of about 80,000 troops into the book.

By this time, the former Senate troops who refused to submit to Caracalla had been completely isolated, and by today, Caracalla had controlled more than half of the territory of the former Roman Empire, only Spain, France, northern Germany, and northern Africa had not yet been controlled.

Central Plains, late August.

Cao Cao arranged the affairs of the court, then left Chang'an and went to Chaohu, accompanied by Cao Cao, Queen Ding and other harem funeral concubines, which made Cao Cao's trip not like official business, but like traveling with his concubines.

On top of the Chang'an court, in addition to letting Xun Yu and others deal with internal affairs, Cao Cao also kept Cao Ang, Cao Pi and Cao Ji to supervise the country, so that the two sides were balanced and the military power was in hand, Cao Cao was not worried that after he left the court, there would be civil strife in the Great Wei.

A group of people traveled to the mountains and rivers, but it was not pleasant, looking at the beautiful scenery, looking at the beauties, but it made Cao Cao's mood a lot better, and there were a lot of people relaxed.

Nearly a month later, Cao Cao and his party arrived at Chaohu Naval Village.

After settling Empress Ding and others, Cao Cao took Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Xu Shu to a high post on the shore of the lake under the guidance of Gan Ning and Zhou Tai.

Gan Ning ordered someone to assemble the simple sand table, and then explained to Cao Cao the situation of the upcoming exercise.

Cao Cao raised his head and looked at the lake to the north, only to see dozens of third- and fourth-level warships parked on the lake in two arrow-shaped shapes, more than a hundred other fifth- and sixth-level warships clustered around them in a half-moon shape, and more than a hundred unmanned boats were parked on the lake in front of them, which was used to simulate the opponent's fleet.

The exercise will be divided into two phases, starting with a water battle with the enemy's naval forces, followed by the suppression of enemy forces on land and a simultaneous landing battle. (To be continued.) )
