Chapter 904: Ready to Go

Wei Ba stayed in Liaosui for more than a month, and in early September, he set sail and left Liaosui.

Yang Zuo, who had been cowering in Liaosui City, breathed a sigh of relief. For more than a month, he couldn't sleep every day, for fear that Wei Ba would suddenly attack the city and arrest the crown prince Gongsun Xiu. Now that Wei Ba is gone, and Gongsun Xiu is safe and sound, he is finally relieved. Then he began to worry about his younger brother Yang Zhen, who was guarding Yingzhou. Wei Ba was menacing, and the battle of White Wolf Mountain, although the scale was not large, it made the Wuhuan people frightened, and they all showed favor to him, and Liaodong was also ready to fight, and did not dare to take it lightly. In this way, wouldn't Yingzhou, which was separated by the sea, be lost?

Yang Zuo vaguely suggested to Gongsun Xiu, whether to give up Yingzhou, or strengthen cooperation with the Wei army, Yang Zhen and those people may not be able to hold Yingzhou.

Gongsun Xiu was noncommittal. He knew that Yang Zuo's worries were reasonable, but the problem he was concerned about now was not Yingzhou, but Liaodong.

Wei Ba has been in Liaosui these days, although he has not fired a single arrow, he is not idle. The bazaars outside the city of Liaosui were his weapons, and he used his military might to suppress the Yan army, block them in the city of Liaosui, and then trade with the Liaodong people and the Hu people under their noses, this kind of power of victory without a fight was more intimidating than the defeat of the first battle.

Gongsun Xiu grew up in Liaodong, he knew what virtues these Hu people had, and when they saw that Wei Ba was strong, they would turn to Wei Ba instead. For many years, they have been suppressed by the Gongsun family and dare not move, and now they will definitely bite back.

Gongsun Xiu immediately rushed back to Xiangping and reported to his father, Gongsun Yuan. If there is no haode countermeasures. The outlook for Liaodong is not good. Wei Ba did not attack Liaodong now because his strength was insufficient, and he was not soft-hearted, and when he made his preparations, he would attack without hesitation.

People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries. There is a dark cloud gathering above the swallows, and they must be prepared to deal with it.

When Gongsun Xiu hurriedly returned to Xiangping, Wei Ba followed the Great Liao River, returned to the sea, and traveled south with the increasingly strong north wind.

Wu Qiu Jian became a prisoner. Just lost freedom. Other treatments are not bad. The food, clothing, and housing are similar to Feng Jin and others, and when Wei Ba is free, he will invite him to chat. Relieve boredom. When Wei Ba was busy. He read in the cabin by himself. Or wandering around on the deck, except for a few confidential places where he was not allowed to set foot in, Wei Ba didn't really treat him as a prisoner.

But Wu Qiu Jian was not happy about this. On the contrary, he was even more worried.

Everything he saw worried him. Wei Ba's warships were not only large and had few opponents, but there were also thunderbolts and ballistae on the deck, as well as some weapons that he didn't know how to use yet, and the ships were fast and agile in operation. The more Qiu Jian looked at it, the more desperate he felt, with such a warship, it was easy to defeat the Wu army across the Yangtze River, and it was even easier to deal with the Qingxu Naval Division of the Wei army. It's a shame that Tian Yu and Wang Ling didn't send the Qingxu Naval Division to the sea to fight, otherwise the Qingxu Naval Division would probably have been removed.

It wasn't just the warship that worried him, but the things Wei Ba did when he inspected Liaodong made him even more uneasy. The gentleman sees the opportunity and knows it when it is not budding. What he saw was the machine that Wei Ba was brewing, the knife was not unsheathed, and its momentum had been achieved, and he didn't know if the emperor of Luoyang was aware of the danger and whether he had made proper arrangements.

After thinking about it, he couldn't think of any proper arrangements. As soon as he thought of this, he felt very desperate, could it really be as Wei Ba said, the destiny of heaven is like this, the national glory of Great Wei has been exhausted, how can he eat it, and how do he have to spit it it out?

The anxiety of the past few days has made Wuqiu thrifty lose weight.

On this day, he was walking on the deck when he saw Wei Ba and a young man beside him. This young man looked a little younger than Wei Ba, at most in his early twenties. However, he and Wei Ba stood together, talking and laughing, and seemed very close.

Wu Qiu Jian suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Wei Ba's henchman Fa Miao for several days.

"Zhong Gong, your face is not very good." Wei Ba smiled: "Is it because you are not used to eating, or is it because the boat is bumpy and you can't sleep well?" ”

Wu Qiu Jian bowed and gave a salute: "No, it's because I'm worried about state affairs, and I can't sleep." ”

The corners of Wei Ba's mouth twitched, and there was some banter in his eyes. "Zhong Gong, is this going to be Su Wu?"

Wu Qiu Jian replied: "If the general wants to be a single Yu, I have to be Su Wu." ”

Wei Ba was stunned, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "Shihong, you're right, I still read too little, and I was accidentally caught by someone." ”

The young man beside him looked at Wu Qiu Jian, showing a little disdain: "Why should the general mind, this kind of person can't fight, so it's just a matter of showing off his tongue." If I remember correctly, he was lucky to find chapters and sentences, bite and chew words. ”

Wu Qiu Jian sank his face, a little speechless. It is true that he was born in literature, but he is not a pedant who can only read, he has won the trust of the Son of Heaven with his real talent and hard work. But he couldn't say these words, he was captured by Wei Basheng twice, where did he still have the face to say that he had the ability.

"Haha, I forgot to introduce it." Wei Ba laughed heartily: "This is the son of Yu Shihong, who is easy to learn." Zhong Gong, if you are bored in the future, you can talk to him, his family heirloom is easy to learn, but it is a weapon to kill time. ”

Wu Qiu Jian was taken aback. Yu Fu is the minister of Wu State, how did his son become a subordinate of Wei Ba? Could it be that Wu Guo has really collapsed the hearts of the people and been digested by Shu Han? It's an inevitable trend, but it's too fast. By the way, Yu Tuo was not treated by Sun Quan, and now that they have another choice, it is understandable that they took the initiative to take root in Wei Ba.

"It turned out to be a master of easy learning." Wu Qiu Jian nodded with something in his words. "Sure enough, it's a person who knows the times."

"Well, it's easy to learn, that is, you have to understand the general trend, and you can't be obsessed." Yu Yan sneered at each other: "The father and son of the Emperor were also knowledgeable about current affairs back then, but now they are persistent." At the end of the day, I still haven't really been able to understand it. ”

Wu Qiu Jian sneered and said nothing. There is nothing to argue about this kind of thing, he is now a prisoner, and he has no confidence to speak.

At this moment, a scholar who was about thirty years old walked over, and when he heard Yu Yan's words, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Shihong, fighting with others again?" ”

Yu Yan laughed: "How can there be such a thing, it's just seeing a self-righteous stupid goose, not vomiting and unhappy." Brother Huiren, have you done your task today? ”

"Well, it's just done, let's ask the general to take a look." The man walked up to Wuqiu Jian, glanced at him, and said with a gentle smile: "The foot is Wuqiu Zhonggong who Hedong Wenxi?" ”

"You are?"

"Oh, in Xiawu County, Zhang Yi, the cursive word Huiren, now make a master book by the general's side." Zhang Yi smiled and said: "I often hear the general talk about you, but when I saw it today, it was really a hero among the people, but he lost a little weight." Presumably the people of the Central Plains, they are not used to the hardships of drifting on the sea. ”

Wu Qiu Jian was shocked, and subconsciously asked: "Dare to ask what Wujun Zhang Huishu and his feet are called?" ”

"That's my brother." Zhang Yi smiled and said: "It seems that my brother's fame is indeed greater than mine, and even the Junjie of the Central Plains knows it." ”

Wu Qiujian's brain "buzzed", and his heart was cold for a while. The Zhang family of Wu County, the Huiji Yu family, the people of these two families appeared beside Wei Ba, and he knew very well what it meant. I don't know what means Wei Ba used to gain the support of the Jiangdong family so quickly, which was far faster than they expected. The faster Wei Ba's strength grew, the more unfavorable it was to the Wei State, and the shorter the time left for the Son of Heaven.

Could this be where Wei Ba's confidence lies?

Seeing that Wu Qiujian's face changed, Zhang Yi didn't say anything, walked up to Wei Ba and handed over a roll of paper. "General, this is the result that Zhao Junqing just calculated, and we reassembled the map based on this result, and the gap with the original is indeed not small."

Wei Ba took the drawing and nodded happily. The map in his hand now looked a little more similar to what he remembered. There is a big difference between the coastline of the Three Kingdoms period and the coastline 2,000 years later, but the biggest difference comes from the jishu who drew the map. Although Jishu was ahead of other civilizations of the same era, the accuracy of the map on a large scale was not complimentary. The Bohai Bay on the map of the Han Dynasty does not show a trace of the appearance of the Bohai Bay in later generations.

This is true not only of the Han Dynasty maps, but also of other maps, and even the maps used by the European powers that later dominated Shijie in the Middle Ages were more imaginary than measured. The achievements of the map of the Han Dynasty, even in the next thousand years, will be a big cut behind the Europeans.

However, Wei Ba was not satisfied with such a map, and without an accurate map at sea, it was impossible for him to really stay away from the coastline. He himself knew a little about surveying and mapping, but he had too many things to do, and it was impossible to teach those surveyors to draw drawings by hand. This problem was solved with the arrival of Yu Yan and Zhang Yi. They brought a master of mathematics: Zhao Shuang and Zhao Junqing.

Zhao Shuang was the first to solve the proof of the Pythagorean theorem. Some time ago, Sun Quan wanted to gather Jishu personnel to fight against Wei Ba, and Zhao Shuang and Ge Heng were the key figures among them. However, before they could make results, Sun Quan was forced to be a vassal by Wei Ba, Ge Heng was captured in the Yujian shipyard, and Zhao Shuang happened to go home to visit his relatives at that time and escaped.

This time, Zhang Yi was ordered by Zhang Wen to help Wei Ba, and he not only brought Yu Yan, but also Zhao Shuang. Zhao Shuang didn't care about his official position, he was more interested in learning, so he naturally took on the task of mapping and calculating.

With the addition of Zhao Shuang, the mapping work is finally on the right track. The redrawn map finally had the impression of being a little closer to Wei Ba.

Wei Ba was very proud, and raised the map in his hand at Wuqiu Jian: "Wuqiu Zhonggong, can you imagine that the map of Liaodong turned out to be like this?" ”…… (To be continued......) (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you book friend Jiexi, Mr. Li's 10,000-point reward.

Thanks to the book friend Jiexi for becoming the eighth alliance leader, Lao Zhuang should have added more congratulations, but there has been no manuscript in the past two days, let me later, it will definitely not be bad. It is obvious to all that the level of Lao Zhuang is secondary, and his character is leveraged.
