Chapter 1054: The Beginning of a New Era (2)

Thank you for the handsome thought/disfigured son's tip!

Shu Ketong on the side looked at Shu Kesa with a look of hope, and Shu Kesa smiled: "In this way, His Majesty the Great Wei Emperor is willing to help us with all his might!" ”

The messenger was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Of course! Even if it is not for the sake of profit, for the sake of the face of the general's family, my Great Wei Empire will never sit idly by! "The messenger was frank. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"In that case, I would have thanked His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Wei Empire for his great kindness!" Shuksa stood up and bowed.

The envoy accepted this salute calmly, because at this moment he represented His Majesty the Emperor.

Shuksa sat down and asked, "But I wonder how Great Wei will help us?" ”

The envoy said: "At present, the main force of my Great Wei is fighting against the Jin people in the north, and the Kangju war is also about to break out, so the empire is temporarily unable to assist the general in terms of troops!" ”

Shuksa nodded unsurprisingly.

The messenger continued, "Your Majesty has ordered 150,000 sets of armor and 1,000,000 quintals of grain to be transported to the province by water! Arriving in about a month! ”

Shuksa was taken aback, "Waterway!?" ”

The envoy nodded, "I don't know the specific situation, but since Your Majesty said so, then it must be the case!" ”

Shuksa clenched his fists and said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your help, but the sea in the south is all under the control of Yue Duo, and the 50,000 sailors under his command have more than 1,000 large and small warships!" I'm worried about ······"

The envoy smiled and said, "Since Your Majesty has done this, there must be a solution!" ”

Shuksa nodded.

The two talked for more than an hour, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, but Shuksa did not respond to the envoy's solicitation.

After a while, Shukesa personally sent the envoy out of the office, and then sent Shuketong to escort the envoy back to the post house.

On the road.

"General Shu, it seems that the general is not very willing to return to my Great Wei?" The envoy frowned, and the two were riding their horses together, surrounded by more than a hundred soldiers.

Shu Ke channel: "The last general's ancestor is surnamed Li, and the angel calls me Li Ketong, in fact, the eldest brother has long wanted to return to Dawei!" It's just that I can't let go of the grace of the first king of Kushan! After all, the first king has a great favor to the eldest brother and our entire family! It is not only the grace of promotion, but also the grace of life-saving! ”

"If so, then the matter ······" The Great Wei envoy asked after smiling with satisfaction.

Shu Ketong or Li Ketong said with a smile: "I think that after the eldest brother repays the kindness of Wei Sudeva, he will definitely defect to Great Wei without hesitation!" ”

The messenger nodded, "That's good!" I will report this to His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

While the war was raging in the northern and western parts of the empire, thousands of large ships were busily loading goods at the ports of Yangzhou in the southeast, and the entire port was blockaded by the army.

"How's the cargo loading?" Sun Ce asked.

At this time, Sun Ce was patrolling the port with a few people, and there were three people behind Sun Ce, all of whom were literati, and one of them was the Wei family, of course, this Wei family was not the scholarly Wei family in the north but a southern merchant family.

Wei Du replied: "150,000 sets of armor and one million quintals of grain have been loaded on the ship, and now they are being loaded with silk satin, tea, ceramics and other items requested by His Majesty!" ”

Sun Ce nodded with satisfaction.

"General, these silk satins, tea, porcelain, etc. shouldn't be to support Shuksa, right?" Wei Du asked curiously.

Sun Ce smiled, took out a letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Wei Du, "This is given to you by Your Majesty!" ”

"Oh?!"

Wei Du was taken aback, and hurriedly took the book from Sun Ce's hand, read it, and said with admiration: "Your Majesty is really far-sighted!" ”

Sun Ce laughed and said, "I think Your Majesty has no choice!" Now that there are frequent wars and the consumption of the treasury is huge, Your Majesty is trying his best to make money! ”

The three accompanying people hurriedly pretended not to hear, and said secretly in their hearts: Your sister is the concubine of the second prince, of course you dare to say that!

At this time, Zhou Tai chased after him from behind. This week, Tai was originally under the command of Xiahoudun in Fusang Prefecture, but was transferred back to Yangzhou a few days ago.

"General, all fleets have arrived at the mouth of the sea and are on standby!" Zhou Taiyu reports.

Sun Ce nodded, looked up at the blue sky, and muttered, "It's really good weather!" ”

A day later, nearly 1,000 large boats and camels left Yangzhou Port and headed for the mouth of the sea with a large number of donkeys carrying armor, grain and grass, and a large amount of silk satin, tea, and porcelain.

As the leader of this fleet, Weidu also has an important task of trading.

The fleet rendezvoused with the waiting fleet at the mouth of the sea, and then marched south along the coast.

A thousand years later, the grand occasion of Zheng He's voyage to the Western Ocean was staged at this moment, with more than 1,000 ships cruising on the sea like a giant dragon, looking from afar, covering the sky and avoiding people, extremely shocking.

The fleet has more than 300 large and small warships, of which 23 are second-class battleships, 54 third-class battleships, and the rest are fourth-five-sixth class battleships, and the fourth- and fifth-class battleships are much smaller than the second- and third-class battleships.

The commander of the entire fleet was Sun Ce, and the vice admiral was Zhou Tai, with a total of more than 40,000 naval officers and men, and more than 60,000 shipwrights, merchants, etc.

This scale is absolutely unprecedented, and the fleet is led by sailors and merchants who have traveled between the Indian and Pacific Oceans for many years, and as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were merchants and pirates operating between the two oceans.

A day later, Cao Cao, who was far away in Chang'an, received a message that the fleet had departed.

Cao Cao walked to the steps in front of the Linde Palace, looked at the sky in the distance, took a long breath, and muttered, "This is the beginning of a real new era!" ”

On the northern front, the Wei army had already broken through the Jin people's camp in the big pine forest, but fortunately, it took no time to take off and have the foresight to build a second line of defense by the river more than ten miles behind the big pine forest, and the Jin army quickly spread into the second line of defense under the cover of cavalry.

This second line of defense was located on the banks of the Yage River, the terrain was not dangerous, but it choked the throat of the Wei army's northward and eastward advance, and the day after the Jin army was scattered to the Yage River defense line, the main force of the Wei army arrived at the front of the Jin army and set up camp.

At this time, the strength of the Jin people was about 450,000, while the strength of the Wei army was about 350,000, and the Jin people still had more than 100,000 horses in Laba, while the second army of the Wei army and more than 200,000 horses of the combined forces of South and North Siberia were in the northeast of Laba.

At the same time, a heavy army group of half a million began to attack the front line of Mustang City.

The two legions sent by Huang are rushing along the northwest edge of the Death Swamp towards the north of Kangju, and the general of the army is Huang Chu's subordinate general Yeluge, Yeluge is a Xianbei person, and his tribe is a tribe of Xianbei, after the Wei army broke Xianbei, this tribe moved westward into the land of the Jin people.

Emperor Wanyan Liang of the Jin State saw that the Xianbei tribe was brave and good at fighting, so he contained them, and divided their settlement into a separate province, this is the so-called Xianbei Province, located in a grassland north of Kangju, equivalent to the area of Sichuan Province in the Central Plains, this Yeluge led the Xianbei warriors to fight for the Jin people for several years and made countless achievements, was named a general, led the thirteen legions, the thirteen legions of soldiers basically from the Xianbei people of Xianbei Province.
