My Ji Han Dynasty was prosperous in martial arts, but I have always convinced people with virtue

Chapter 47 Pattern
The Nanhai Dockyard started working at full capacity, and seagoing ships were launched one after another.

With the annexation of Jiaozhou, sea ships sailed along the coast, and commerce flourished.

Liu Chan sold small sea-going ships to business groups and received a sum of shipbuilding fees, and was able to sell local specialties through these business groups.

It not only accelerated the development of Nanzhong, but also gained the support of the local gentry in Jiaozhou.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

More importantly, the surrender of Jiaozhou allowed Shu to obtain an army of 1 people.

Ten thousand state soldiers!

This power is nothing in the Central Plains, but to Liu Chan, it is very valuable.

This army can be developed into a navy.

The manufacture of large warships is different from that of small merchant ships, which is costly and labor-intensive.

It is not worthwhile to invest in such a navy if the input and output are not proportional.

For the Shu Kingdom today, there is no need to keep such a navy.

But Liu Chan who opened the map knew that it was very important to have such a navy.

According to two Xianzu elders, their hometown was originally in Yizhou outside China.

At that time, Yizhou and Shenzhou were originally interconnected.

But because of the war, Yizhou was destroyed, and the sea of ​​chaos engulfed most of Yizhou.

The storm in the chaotic sea was raging, and even the most advanced sea-going ship of the Xian clan could not successfully enter and exit.

However, this does not mean that there is no life beyond the South China Sea.

In the past, the Xian family was the king of Yizhou, and they had a large number of subordinate forces under their command.

Many of these races survived.

In the north of the sea of ​​chaos, and in the south of the South China Sea, there are descendants of these races, as well as the prominent clan who became slaves.

When the force of the Xian clan was destroyed, the slaves of the past took over the sovereignty, while the masters of the past became slaves instead.

However, because the Xian clan had mastered superb skills, they were not wiped out.

There are different races in the Xian family, and they have different divisions for various engineering constructions.

The Hexian tribe can stay in the water for a long time and carry out underwater work, while the Baixian tribe can train huge spirit beasts to assist them in building projects together.

If the overseas Xianzu can be brought back, Liu Chan will be able to get a big boost.

At that time, building wonders will also be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, it is very important to retain a strong navy.

Liu Chan assigned this navy to the Prince's Mansion, expecting to build [-] warships first, and equip them with the weapons and navigation instruments of the Xian clan.

From the construction of warships to the training of personnel and the training of sea-going ships, this is a huge expense.

It's not that Liu Chan doesn't have money, but they all have sources. After all, building a navy is only a part of developing Nanzhong.

The bulk of the related expenses still depends on the handicap opened by Liu Chan.

Yecheng!

Since Cao Cao returned to the army from Hefei in the spring of the 19th year of Jian'an, all of Cao Cao's energy has been focused on two things this year.

Be king, and guard against Liu Bei!

After Liu Bei won Jing, Yi, and Liang, Shi Xie of Jiaozhou now also joined him.

As Liu Bei's power grew stronger, Cao Cao had to invest more resources in Guanzhong and Nanyang.

In any case, the two fronts of Guanzhong and Xiangfan cannot be breached.

Otherwise, being rushed out by Liu Bei would threaten the core area controlled by Cao Cao.

Just as Cao Cao was in full swing on both internal and external fronts, news came from Lujiang County.

Sun Quan stabbed him in the back.

Lv Meng led a heavy army to guard Xiling, and confronted Jiangxia's Wenpin, but suddenly turned his guns and joined forces with Gan Ning to occupy Wancheng and kidnap tens of thousands of people.

Lujiang County is the flank of the Hefei Fortress. After occupying this place, there are no reinforcements near Hefei.

Cao Cao felt a huge crisis.

Sun Quan played this hand very beautifully, whether it is layout or calculation, he is a first-class existence in this world.

Sun Quan's timing was very accurate. At the critical moment when Cao Cao placed his main force in the Wanluo area to deal with Liu Bei, the Jiangdong Army moved.

If Hefei falls, the battle line will be pushed to Shouchun, south of the Jianghuai River, and will no longer be owned by Cao Cao.Jiangdong's [-] troops can also invade the hinterland of the Central Plains.

If Cao Cao transfers the main force back, will there be battlefield linkage?
Will Liu Bei take action on this, even if Liu Bei in Bashu does not, will Guan Yu in Jingzhou take advantage of the situation and go north?
Cao Cao didn't know what to do.

He could only integrate his troops while hoping that Zhang Liao in Hefei could last a little longer.

This is Sun Quan's highlight moment!
The [-] Eastern Wu army set out from Jianye, went up the Yangtze River, crossed the Ruxu River, passed through Chaohu Lake, and went directly to the city of Hefei.

Hundreds of warships, with banners covering the sky and the sun, swallowed like tigers.

Jiangdong was brought down by Sun Ce, and Sun Quan inherited the foundation of his father and brother.

Over the years, Sun Quan has consolidated his foundation and stood on one side.

However, what is always missing?
The Battle of Chibi was fought by Zhou Yu, Cao Cao was defeated by him, and Jiangling was also defeated by him.

For so many years, in terms of martial arts, Sun Quan has not made any achievements.

Whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, they all rolled over in troubled times and fought big battles.

If Sun Quan wants to develop Soochow, he must achieve foreign martial arts achievements.

In this way, he can continue to expand the cake left by his father and brother, and have enough prestige to reform Soochow.

Unlike Wei and Shu, a large part of the military composition of Soochow is the trilogy of the generals left by Sun Quan's father and brother.

This kind of structure can be conservative, but it is too difficult to be aggressive.

Sun Quan's ambition is not only in Soochow, but also in a wider place.

Cao Cao can use waterways to transfer soldiers and supplies to Hefei, and so can Sun Quan.

One hundred thousand troops got off the warship and set up camp outside Hefei city.

Sun Quan couldn't wait, arranged troops and horses, and lined up outside Hefei City.

Looking at the city of Hefei in the distance, Sun Quan is full of ambition.

This city will be his first stop and also the starting point of Soochow.

But just as he was arranging soldiers and horses to attack the city, a strange thing happened on the other side of Hefei City.

The city gate of Hefei opened.

What does Zhang Liao want to do?
Surrender?
At this moment, Sun Quan was a little excited. If Zhang Liao voted, it would be the best choice for him.

But soon, reason told Sun Quan that this was impossible.

Zhang Liao's family members were all placed in Yecheng and held in Cao Cao's hands.

He voted, regardless of his family members?
Is that a part of his command? Do you want to vote?

Sun Quan didn't know how to react for a while, and saw the gate of the city in the distance opened wider and wider, and hundreds of people rushed out.

It was only after hundreds of people charged for a long time that Sun Quan realized it.

They won't be rushing!

Looking down from a height, the army of 10 people on Soochow's side is roaring and tsunami, which is in stark contrast to the few hundred people on the opposite side.

"The mayfly shakes the tree!"

Sun Quan mocked with disdain, and gave the order.

At this moment, Soochow's vanguard followed suit.

Before the battle, the Soochow general shouted loudly.

"Who will come!"

"Yanmen Zhang Wenyuan!"
