Chapter 634 Wei Ju is here [Please subscribe*Please vote]

"Uncle Jiu, Yun'e misses you!"

Wei Ju, who had already moved the navy camp to Guangwu City on the main road of the Yellow River, looked at a family letter sent from Xianyang, and his solemn face softened a lot.

"Your Majesty, there is another royal order from Daliang. We hope that Your Majesty will move the navy back to Zhongmu and Xiu Yu to protect Daliang!" the deputy general said in a low voice.

Due to the development of the navy in recent years, the Yellow River tributaries such as Xiu Yu and Zhong Mu could no longer support the huge navy, so Wei Ju moved the navy camp to Guangwu City.

In particular, the tower ships were too large, and the flow of the Xing River was not enough to support water combat mainly based on tower ships.

Water combat is not transportation. The Xing River can accommodate tower ships, but tower ships are also accompanied by escort ships such as warships, and the Xing River cannot support so many ships sailing together.

Therefore, Wei Ju moved the navy camp to Guangwu City.

Another reason is that if the navy remained on the Xing River, their food and other supplies would be tied up by Daliang and they would be controlled by Daliang.

However, Wei Ju did not want the navy he had built to be controlled by Daliang.

Especially after the navy pioneered the Yellow River water transport, a large amount of wealth flowed into the navy camp, which made Daliang jealous, and it ordered Wei Ju to return to Daliang again and again.

Wei Ju knew very well that he could not return to Daliang!

Once he returns to Daliang, he may never be able to get out again.

Wealth is attractive, but now Daliang and he are no longer in harmony with each other.

"Get ready and set sail to Luoyang!" Wei Ju suddenly spoke.

"Ah?" The deputy general was stunned for a long time. Luoyang is now controlled by the Qin army.

Although they were invincible on the Yellow River, they did not dare to show off their power on the Qin territory.

"Xiao Yun'e's birthday is coming. As her uncle, how can I be absent?" Wei Ju said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is going to Xianyang?" The deputy general was even more shocked.

If they go to Luoyang, the Qin army will not be able to do anything to them, but if they go to Xianyang, they will have to disembark.

"The State of Wei can no longer be defended. I have to find a way to survive for my 100,000 men." Wei Ju sighed.

The 100,000 naval forces were all poor people who made a living along the Yellow River. Their lives were even more difficult than those of the people living on the road.

They live on boats and depend on water for survival. According to social class classification, these people are all considered hooligans, with no land, no place to live, and no jobs.

This is also one of the fundamental reasons why the navy was able to develop so rapidly.

Because they had no shortage of soldiers, as long as they gave the order, the flood dwellers along the Yellow River who were begging for water to make a living would all come to follow.

But making a living on the water is a helpless act. Who doesn’t want to migrate to live on the road?

Wei Ju had no way to solve the problem before, but he saw everything Qin did in Zhao and thought of a way to solve the problem of these water dwellers begging for water for their livelihood.

"Yes!" The deputy general nodded.

They have become too powerful to be eliminated, not only for the Qin State, but also for the Wei State.

Daliang can no longer tolerate them.

They rejected the king's edicts time and time again.

Daliang had its eyes on the navy's combat capability as well as their endless wealth from water transport.

With the warships clearing the way, the huge ship went upstream and entered the Luo River.

The people living on the Luo River had never seen such a huge tower ship. The huge waves it stirred up could overturn their boats. They were also thankful that the tower ships and warships had no hostility and were not traveling at a high speed, otherwise there would be no need for the tower ships and warships to launch an attack. The huge waves alone would have been enough to destroy all the boats on the Luo River.

The Luoyang County Magistrate's face changed drastically when he saw the tower ships and warships that suddenly appeared. He knew about the existence of the navy and had seen warships bringing food and goods, but this was the first time that tower ships appeared.

The ship did not dock, and there was no dock on the Luo River that could allow the ship to dock, so the ship was anchored on the river. Wei Ju and his guards boarded a small boat from the ship to the shore.

The Luoyang prefect stood cautiously at the ferry to greet him.

I can’t beat him. I really can’t beat him.

"Tell Princess Wannian that uncle is here!" Wei Ju said to the governor of Luoyang with a smile.

"Ah?" The Luoyang County Magistrate was stunned. "You are... Young Master Xinling?"

"That's right!" Wei Ju nodded with a smile, and then he took his guards and ignored the county magistrate's shock, and strode directly into the once prosperous Luoyang City.

The county magistrate finally came to his senses and hurriedly sent someone on express horse to inform Xianyang that Wei Ju was coming!
As for touching Wei Ju, he didn't dare!

I didn’t see any tower ships or warships still floating on the river.

If something happened to Wei Ju, once these tower ships rushed ashore, the whole Luoyang would probably be unable to resist.

"Wei Ju is here!" Xianyang quickly received the news from Luoyang, and everyone was shocked.

Wei Ju did not come alone, he also brought with him a fleet of warships.

This is to shock Xianyang.

Wang Jian and other Qin generals also felt the horror of the navy for the first time.

If the navy launches an attack, how many cities along the Yellow River can withstand the attack?
Just like this time, the navy suddenly appeared in Luoyang, and they didn’t even have time to react.

In other words, Wei Ju had no hostility, otherwise they might have received the news of the fall of Luoyang.

"Since Wei Ju did not attack the city, it means that he has no hostility for the time being!" Wang Jian thought for a while and said.

None of them had any experience fighting against the navy, so it would be better to avoid fighting if possible.

"Then who will go to welcome Wei Ju?" Ying Zheng's eyes swept over the ministers in the court.

After all, Wei Ju was the commander-in-chief of the navy and Lord Xinling of Wei. According to etiquette, he should send someone of equal status and title to greet him.

However, looking at all the ministers, those with the same status as Wei Ju did not have a higher title than him, and those with the same title did not have a higher status than him.

"How about I go?" Guo Weiliao spoke slowly.

His title is not as high as Wei Ju's, but his status is higher than Wei Ju's.

Ying Zheng glanced at him and asked, "You still want to run?"

Wei Liaozi's expression froze. He was the only one in the world who could reach his position.

"I will go!" Wang Wan said.

As the left prime minister of Qin, his status was still higher than Wei Ju's, although his title was inferior.

"Yes!" Ying Zheng nodded. Having a prime minister go to greet him would not be considered an humiliation to the other party's status.

"However, why did Wei Ju come?" Ying Zheng and others still couldn't understand.

Is Wei Ju not afraid of death? He actually dared to go ashore and come to Xianyang.

"According to the Luoyang prefect's retelling, the other party seemed to have mentioned Princess Wannian. Is it possible that they came to celebrate Princess Wannian's birthday?" Zhang Han said hesitantly.

Qinian Palace suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Zhang Han as if he were an idiot.

Who is Wei Ju? He is a general with 100,000 naval forces under his command. Why would he put himself in danger just for a little princess's birthday?

Zhang Han lowered his head in embarrassment and stopped talking. He felt that he had made a fool of himself. Wei Ju was not an ordinary person. Xianyang had been trying to deal with him for more than a day or two.
