The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

He signaled Gongsun Kang not to be too polite.

Then, under Gongsun Kang's warm invitation, everyone went to the prefect's mansion to enjoy a banquet.

After Zhou Cheng's inspection just now, he roughly settled the situation with Fangjun.

So I didn't say anything more.

He immediately followed Gongsun Kang.

At the banquet, Zhou Cheng asked about relevant matters.

Including the situation of various ethnic groups in the surrounding areas, etc.

Gongsun Kang answered fluently, and while entertaining everyone to drink and eat, he explained the situation in Liaodong.

Zhou Cheng nodded secretly.

He had a higher opinion of Gongsun Kang.

So Zhou Cheng asked:"If you are allowed to continue the Northern Expedition, how far can you go?"

Gongsun Kang immediately replied confidently:"I have long had the intention of the Northern Expedition, and now Goguryeo's stragglers are no longer something to be afraid of.""

"Wuhuan was defeated by his lord again"

"If you give me a certain amount of time, I will definitely be able to defeat Fuyu first and then attack Xianbei"

"He also eliminated many remaining small forces in Liaodong, and contributed his own contribution to the expansion of the main territory. Zhou

Cheng nodded:"That's good. You can discuss it with your father Shengji when you have time.""

"Now that the maritime trade route has been opened, all kinds of materials are abundant here, and they are no longer as stretched as before."

"If you still need any support in terms of troops and materials, please contact Shiyuan directly and let him make arrangements. Gongsun

Kang immediately bowed his hands and said:"Liaodong alone has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. It is enough. I will send someone to inform my father immediately.""

"If there are any other needs, the subordinates will contact Master Shiyuan for support. Pang

Tong also responded quickly:"Everyone is working for the Lord, but when it comes to my use, I just give orders and don't dare to neglect at all.""

After the two were polite again, they continued to eat and drink.

After a while, the banquet was over.

Gongsun Kang immediately arranged a residence for Zhou Cheng.

He originally wanted to let Zhou Cheng live in the prefect's mansion and move outside himself.

Zhou Cheng did not agree. So

Gongsun Kang found a quiet courtyard for Zhou Cheng and Pang Tong to live in the prefect's mansion.

After some settlement, Gongsun Kang did not disturb Zhou Cheng's rest and left. After getting off, Pang Tongcai said to Zhou Cheng:"My lord is really a hero."

"This time I was really not afraid at all. I only took a few civil servants with me."

"I walked around Liaodong alone"

"If I were a subordinate, I wouldn’t even dare to think about it."

"If people in future generations know what the Lord did today, they will definitely give a thumbs up and praise the Lord greatly."

When Zhou Cheng saw Pang Tong say this, he also smiled softly and said:"Who doesn't know my name now?"

"If they really want to capture me, I'm afraid they will have to prepare for heavy casualties."

"Moreover, Gongsun Du is not a stupid person. He will definitely not risk the fate of the entire family."

"What's more, they were trapped in Liaodong and had long been thinking about ways to survive. Therefore, after Shi Yuan opened the maritime trade route,"

"Having tasted the sweetness of trade, as soon as you see me, you will take the initiative to surrender."

"After all, only if it is incorporated into our internal system can Liaodong develop better."

Pang Tong nodded repeatedly after hearing this:"My lord, I have great views and my subordinates admire me."

The master and the servant were silent all night.

The next day, after Zhou Cheng had breakfast, he started to get up again.

He walked along the seaside. He watched the fishermen on the seaside driving small boats and fishing offshore. Along the coast.

There are people drying the seafood and preparing to sell it to merchants in the city.

The merchants then trade it to the sea ships.

The sea ships take these seafood specialties and return to the North Sea. They are then transported by land to various cities in the Central Plains for sale.

Everyone who enters the scene is filled with excitement and prosperity. On the way

, Zhou Cheng took the initiative and said:"Shi Yuan, do you know why I asked you to build a sea ship? Pang

Tong said doubtfully:"My subordinates are guessing whether the lord wants to contact Shanyue and send troops into the rear of Soochow.""

"Then send generals to forcefully cross the Yangtze River"

"In this way, you can attack from both sides, which will definitely make Soochow defenseless."

Zhou Cheng shook his head gently and smiled:"Shiyuan, I'm not doing it for a mere Soochow."

"Only then did he mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources to build so many ships. Pang

Tong was greatly puzzled and quickly bowed and said,"My lord, please answer your subordinates' doubts."

Seeing Pang Tong's appearance, Zhou Cheng no longer interested him:"To me, the Central Plains is just a territory.""

"Besides this territory, there are many other territories"

"My ambition is not just in such a small place.

Pang Tong understood immediately and said excitedly:"Did the lord mean the countries in the Western Regions?" And those rumored places further afield?

Zhou Cheng nodded and said,"That's right, that's not right either.""

"Not only these, but there are also many various areas not recorded in the book, which are still waiting for us to explore."

"These areas require a large number of ships and crews to lay a solid foundation for subsequent exploration operations."
