Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 755 Naxian
The sea is so blue that you can't see the end at a glance.

The pier is very lively, there are many ships docked here, most of them are large ships under the command of the big Han Huangtou army.These large ships are huge, like giant beasts, docked at the pier, with soldiers coming in and out, very busy.The whole city is built around this wharf. The city is in a very Chinese style, and the city walls are extremely tall. Except for the direction close to the sea, there are tall city walls in all directions, and there are hand-held guns on the top. The soldiers of the crossbow are patrolling back and forth.

This is the southernmost city of Huangtou.

The name was chosen by Lou Chuan General Zhou Shengzhi himself. This city was also built on the basis of the old city of Shendu in the past. It took a total of 30 people and took four years to build it. Such a huge city.

The reason why it takes so much effort to build the city here is because of its important geographical location.

After years of exploration, the big man has a very good understanding of the terrain of Shendu. The terrain of the entire land of Shendu is like a huge triangle cone extending downwards, and this is the position of the cone head. South (Tamil Nadu).

The climate here is very hot, but it is very suitable for farming. The crops are ripe for more than a year, and the geographical location is excellent. It is a rare natural harbor.

The Dahan's Louchuan army is stationed here on weekdays, through which it radiates power to the southern regions. Of course, this is also an important port for trade with South Vietnam and other places. Since Zhou Shengzhi successfully opened up the sea trade route , the caravans of Wu State and Nanyue State frequently visit here, take away cheap raw materials from here, and export those commodities. There are a lot of merchants gathered here, and 3% of the residents are Han Chinese. In this big city, except for those Soldiers have gathered more than [-] Han people.

Of course, the Nanyue Kingdom also had its own ideas. The Dian Kingdom opened up a road to Shendu from the land, and also built a city of its own, named New Dian City. Pleasant and very suitable for farming. At the same time, the human resources here are quite rich (Bangladesh), and there are endless savages. The Dian people have launched many projects here, trying to get the name of the first harbor from the building. Grab it here.

Lou Chuan General Zhou Shengzhi was sitting in a tall building at the moment.

From this tall building, one can see the current situation of the entire city, and even the ships passing by in the distance.

Another general was sitting beside him, and the two were enjoying local delicacies.

Zhou Shengzhi looked haggard and vicissitudes compared to the past, and his whole body was darker, and he even began to move closer to the appearance of the local aborigines. In the south of Shendu, the appearance of the locals is very dark, which is not the same as that in the north. The language And customs are different.Zhou Shengzhi took a mouthful of the sticky food made of something unknown, then looked at the general beside him, and asked, "Are you sure you want me to take action?"

The general sitting in front of him looked completely native, and he was the poisoned general Aledoja of the big man.

Allie's brows were tightly furrowed, and he was very angry.

"It's useless for me to say it, you can only say it yourself. In their eyes, I am too humble and a low caste. They talk to me because I am a general of a big man, but what I say, they absolutely I won’t listen, in their eyes, any soldier on your pier is probably much more noble than me.”

Zhou Shengzhi didn't know what to say.

Zhou Shengzhi has stayed here for a long time, and he has a deeper understanding of the local culture. In his opinion, this poisonous nobleman is more or less mentally ill, probably because he does not intermarry with the lower class, and has the same surname all year round. And marriage caused some problems in their brains.He didn't know how to describe these people. Ariel is a Baicheng people, and this place even has the least regard for caste, because the local religion is Buddha religion, which talks about equality for everyone, but among the nobles However, it was not the case. Even a general like Ariel who had made great achievements in the war at the time, they would not pay attention at all.

He is now in command of the poisoned army, and he can be regarded as the number one person here. He has his own general mansion, officials, and a regular army of more than 2 people, but these nobles still don't think much of him.

A Lie came to Zhou Shengzhi this time, in fact, for a very simple matter. He wanted to record household registration in several countries in the south. The so-called registration of family registration, but it was such a small matter, but it was delayed again and again. It has been delayed until now because the local nobles are unwilling to cooperate, but the reason for not cooperating is puzzling. It is because the person who delivered the order was A Lie. Zhou Shengzhi took a deep breath and said with some headaches: "Actually, as General Lou Chuan, I shouldn't have meddled in the matter of body poisoning."

"It's just not my job to manage."

"But, I can understand your difficulties. How about this? I'll send someone to follow you to pass it on. Just say it's my order. I can't follow you to these places."

Zhou Shengzhi explained: "I've been quite busy recently. As you know, the Lou Chuan army is heading west along the coast. We even encountered Anxi's fleet. The two sides fought, and each had its losses."

Over the years, the Lou Chuan army set off westward along the poisonous coastline, and even approached the core area of ​​Anxi for a while, and they finally got a better understanding of the surrounding terrain.In real history, the merchants of the Han Dynasty have traveled far away. They have met with the Parthian people, and the two sides communicated with each other, and even bypassed Parthian. They have reached Europe and the Middle East. The exploration of the Han people is still very far away. Yes, it's just that the exploration on the sea is not very smooth. After all, the big man never paid attention to these things, but the Nanyue king in history once sent ships to reach relatively remote places.

Zhou Shengzhi is not satisfied now, he still wants to lead the fleet to pass through the resting coast, continue to explore, and see what other countries are there.

Ariel also knew the hardships of the Yellow-headed Army these years, so he nodded, "It would be great if you could send someone here, and I won't let you go."

Zhou Shengzhi sighed, "The Dian Kingdom and the Nanyue Kingdom are not very obedient. The Dian Kingdom directly built its own city and made it clear that it would divide the trade routes. To cause trouble, I think I also want to occupy a port and use it as my docking point."

The "county magistrate" of this city is Zhou Shengzhi. To be precise, it is not a city, but a naval base. However, merchant ships are also allowed to dock here, and they need to use these commercial taxes to enrich their pockets. He has always been unpopular with the temple, the subsidy is very low, and their expenses are quite a lot. Whether it is buying a ship or placing sailors, many things need a lot of property to support them. He is not willing to be divided up by others.

Ariel said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this. After you finish exploring the west, this is still the best transfer point. Merchants will definitely gather here."

"I heard that the temple sent General Shen Tujia to come to kill him. I don't plan to do anything more now. I just want to wait for him to come. At that time, those nobles will not dare to be disobedient. The only thing to worry about is Bactria, I am worried that these people will vote for Parthian. Although their king is on the side of the big man, the attitude of their ministers is not clear. They have thought of surrendering to Parthian before. The Parthians are not honest , To mobilize manpower to build a sentry post, in fact, I want to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Fortunately, we discovered it in time."

Allie was a little tired, and the poison was too great.

And as the general of Shendu, he will defend Anxi in the north for a while, and suppress the nobles in the south for a while, and even ensure the safety of merchants and merchants. pass.

Zhou Shengzhi said confidently: "You don't have to worry. Shen Tujia is a very capable general. When he comes, you don't have to worry about these things."

"You should be ready to deal with the Parthians from the land. I will definitely defeat their water army. At that time, we will attack together."

"I hope so, my son sent someone to send a letter earlier, saying that they are likely to come to learn from poisoning."

"Oh? Study?"

"Where is your son?"

"In Chang'an."

"Strategy."

"Brother, when I saw your appearance, I knew that you were good at fighting at night. My country of Xia lacks talents like you. With your skin color, the enemy can't even see you when fighting at night. How did you do that?" of??"

Gondoro's face became stern, and his face became even darker.

Xia Houci couldn't stand it anymore, and tugged on Liu Ci's sleeve, "Your Majesty, he is a poisonous person, and he was born so black."

Liu Ci ignored this, and held on to this person's hand, "Then you should go to my country of Xia. Brothers don't know, my country of Xia has 80 cavalry, all of them are in armor, and each of them holds three swords. The strong crossbow is invincible in the world, but what is the most important thing? My country of Xia is tolerant, my country of Xia has everyone, and all kinds of tribes, there is no shortage of you. When the time comes, you will come to us Xia Guo, in my country, you can definitely be the prime minister of the country, but not in other places. They will call you a barbarian and don't reuse you, but my Xia country is full of barbarians, so there is no such thing .”

Gondoro has long been accustomed to the words of the great king. Not long after Liu Cicai came to the Military Academy, he has successfully let the entire Military Academy know him.

When he met someone, he would cling to it and insist on letting him go to Xia Country to develop after graduation.

Every day, I would pester different people, but for some reason today, I was staring at myself again.

He said earnestly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but after I finish my studies, I will be poisoned. My father is in danger of being poisoned, and I want to help him."

"Who is your father?"

"Poison General Alejado."

Liu Ci turned pale with shock, and held the opponent's hand even tighter, "It turns out that General Allie is your father! I have admired his name for a long time, and I admire him very much. I didn't expect to meet his son!!"

Looking at Liu Ci's chattering appearance, Xia Houci was very speechless. He made sure that before today, his great king had never heard of a poisonous general. Judging by what he is saying now, he still looks decent, Gondo When Luo heard him praising his father so much, his face suddenly became a little happy, and he didn't want to be rude, not as rude as before.But Liu Ci continued: "If you are going to be poisoned, you should come to Xia Kingdom."

"You don't know yet, do you? My country of Xia has a very large territory. From the country of Yan to the country of Xiting, the surrounding grasslands are all ours. We even border the Anxi people. Do you know that our cavalry can go all the way?" Go to Anxi, of course, there are a few small tribes who are not very obedient, but it is not a big problem. Think about it, cavalry is the fastest to attack Anxi from the big Han? Xia Guo attacked Anxi, that is Couldn't be more suitable”

"Oh? Really?"

Gondoro was immediately fascinated by his words, and began to ask seriously.

Xia Houci shook his head, another person was fooled.

While the two were talking enthusiastically about how to attack the Anxi Kingdom in the future, Xia Houci interrupted them, "My lord, the battle theory that Li Jijiu asked us to write yesterday is not finished yet. Don't talk anymore. Now, go back and start writing."

Liu Ci was very displeased, and pulled Xia Houci's hand away, "What do you know? I came here to study military strategy, is it to learn from them? Learning is only secondary, and what really matters is these talented people. In military science, there are the group of people who will be most capable of fighting big men in the future. If I can take away a hundred of them, no, twenty of them, that would be a great benefit. Do you think I am looking for them everywhere? For what? This is the most important thing, so what if you don’t write about battles? What are you afraid of!”

Just when Liu Ci was about to continue talking to Gondoro and bring him aboard Xia Guo's pirate ship, a new sacrificial wine came.

Seeing this new sacrificial wine, Liu Ci was heartbroken, beating his chest.

The new sacrificial wine is Zhou Bo.

His idea of ​​abducting Zhou Bo to go to Xia Kingdom was completely wiped out.

This made Liu Ci quite sad. Zhou Bo was probably the most serious of all the sacrificial wines. When he came to Military Academy on the first day, the students realized his style of doing things. He severely punished some students who did not answer the questions. One meal, including Xia Wang Liu Ci. Of course, this is not public revenge, but Zhou Bo is strict.Zhou Bo taught everyone about siege warfare. Zhou Bo has fought many siege warfare in his life. In the process of telling the story, he will also bring his own actual combat experience, and the speech is quite good.

However, Zhou Bo had never given lectures to others, so the atmosphere was a little stiff, without any core, and he talked about wherever he thought.

Liu Ci was targeted many times in his class. When the class was over, he was limp on the ground, and he didn't even have the strength to get up.

"This is not a lecture, it's a drill. If I say something wrong, let me get up and practice, exercise physical fitness. Desperate!"

Liu Ci cursed, but it was Gondoro and Xia Houci who helped him up.

"You said, is there any way to make this general put down his idea of ​​teaching and go to my country of Xia?"

Liu Ci suddenly asked.

Xia Houci shook his head, "It's absolutely impossible, General Zhou hates the king so much, how could he go to Xia Kingdom?"

Gondoro also said with a smile: "The king is not yet old enough to go to the country, how could he take the general to the country of Xia?"

Liu Ci did not believe in evil, he gritted his teeth, and said viciously: "Just wait, I will take him to Xia Kingdom sooner or later and let him be my general! This is my ancestral general!"

Xia Houci was in a hurry, "He is a general, so what should I do?"

"Be a little general!"

From that day on, Liu Ci began to pester Zhou Bo, starting the first step of his talent recruitment plan.

He began to use various methods to get close to Zhou Bo, trying to persuade Zhou Bo to give up his current affairs and follow him to Xiaguo, but no matter how he spoke, Zhou Bo was not interested and repeatedly made things difficult for him. At this moment, he showed strong perseverance like Liu Chang. No matter how many times he was expelled by Zhou Bo, he would still be able to grin and invite him to Xia Guo when they met next time. Zhou Bo seemed to be a little accustomed to this behavior , the punishment is much less severe.

However, Zhou Yafu led the army to Hexi Kingdom during this month.

He was to command the local army and conduct drills and preparations with the Northern Army, including determining the route for transporting grain and grass in the local area, building military granaries and military post stations along the road, and so on.

Now it can be said that all the old generals of the big man have gathered in the military science.

They sat together and chatted about the past wars from time to time, the atmosphere was very good, but Zhou Bo was not very gregarious, and he didn't talk to them, just listened to their narration with a cold face.

"No one can compare to Zhou Bo when it comes to educating children. Looking at his children, there is no one who is incapable. The winner is poisonous. Now Yafu is going to rectify the army of the Three Kingdoms. What does this mean? If he goes out in the future, rest in peace. It must be General Chariot and Cavalry as the commander, which shows His Majesty's trust in him."

Hearing what they said, Zhou Bo's complexion changed a lot. He turned around and was about to leave here.

As soon as he walked out the door, he ran into Liu Ci again.

Zhou Bo was even angrier, you bastard, it's never over, right?
"Junhou, don't get angry. I have heard that my father despises you. I use your son. But I know in my heart, how can General Cheqi compare with you? You surpass him by many times. Ten General Cheqi is not as good as you! My father does not need you, it is his loss, I am willing to reuse you, they want to rectify the armies of the Three Kingdoms, let General Cheqi command, and let him attack Anxi. I am willing to let you command Xia The army of the Kingdom of Xia set out from the grasslands of the Xia Kingdom to attack Anxi. At that time, it will be clear who is stronger. His head!"

"I can't bear to see Father's behavior!"

"Just tell me, would you like to come to my country of Xia?!"

"I don't want to."

"Don't you think you can't compare with the chariot general? Are you afraid of him?"

"Correct."

"I"
