The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 446 Cao Hong's Letter From Home

Cao Cao was a loyal minister, at least he was loyal to the Han court. He was almost middle-aged, and he insisted on his position for most of his life. Naturally, it is impossible to change it just now.But he can't change it, which doesn't mean others can't change it.

Did Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan stay after all, with Cao Cao's youngest sons Cao Xiong and Cao Chong.If Xiahoupi inherited Xiahou's family, then Cao Xiong and Cao Chong inherited the Cao family in Qiao County on his behalf, and they were also from Cao Teng's line.

Cao Ren followed Cao Cao to Africa, while Cao Hong and Cao Chun stayed.Cao Hong didn't like the barren environment, and it was already the limit in India.Cao Chun is not in good health. He is only 32 years old, and his health has already begun to decline.In history, he died at the age of 40, but in this life, he was displaced with the big man, and it is not surprising that his physical condition has problems ahead of time.

Naturally, the group will no longer have any official positions. As a white body, they traveled across the state and entered Jiaozhou, then went north to Xiangyang, and finally returned to their hometown in Qiao County via Yuzhou.By this time, it was already July 202 AD.

Thinking that since he came back safely, he should report Cao Cao's safety. After all, the two nephews came back together.And he also wanted to know what happened when Cao Cao went to Africa.

"Brother Mengde, I don't know how my brother is in Africa after three months of separation. My younger brother Cao Hong has returned to Qiao County safely, and my younger brother Chun is staying in Xiangyang with his two nephews to study and seek medical treatment. Hua Tuo, a master doctor, said that Cao Chong's nephew The situation is still stable, and there is still a possibility of healing, but it can only be stabilized. If you want to be cured, you can only practice Chinese martial arts. If you make great external strength, you can promote the growth of deficiencies. The situation of Chundi is similar, so I also stay down.

In the market, there are only early cultivation methods of national art. If you want to practice more advanced methods, you can only enter the army and become a general to have the opportunity to get it.It's ridiculous that when he came back in the past, he had dismissed Shi Hui's solicitation, but now he obediently went to the military academy to study without the recommendation letter he gave him.My elder brother asked me to keep this recommendation book, but I didn't expect to use it in the end.

Since Cao Chong's nephew stayed in Xiangyang, let Cao Xiong stay for the time being, and found an elementary school for them to study.I heard that the princes of Dachu secretly went to Mengxue to study incognito, and maybe they could be in the same class as them. Maybe the Cao family rose here because of this.

This time I came back from Yuezhou to Jiaozhou. I thought it would take a month to walk, but when I came to Yuezhou, I found out that a direct railway to Longbian was built here. I changed horses all the way without changing trains. I arrived in Longbian in less than three days.The horror of the railway makes one's scalp tingle. Using this railway to transport supplies, if the Great Chu sends troops to attack the Han, it will be able to continuously supply supplies to Qianxiang County.

To Dongxing Port, you can take the waterway to Panyu, and then take an inland river boat to go north, or you can go to Kuaiji, enter the Yangtze River, or even enter the Yellow River and then go south.Brother Chun said he wanted to visit Xiangyang, so we went to Panyu.The land road is also very easy to travel. It is said that several roads have been built, and the railway is also being built. Perhaps in the future, it will only take a few days to reach the place from Xiangyang. Great enhancement.

When I arrived in Panyu, the feeling here was completely different from the city I imagined.As soon as they disembarked, many people came to pick up jobs, and the whole pier was very prosperous.Needless to say, the city is as prosperous as Luoyang in the past.Thousands of sails compete on the wharf, hundreds of boats compete for the flow, and ships from all over the world are the main reasons why Panyu is so prosperous.

Going north along Panyu, the villages and towns along the coast became prosperous because of the connection of waterways. I think I should know what the south of the Yangtze River was like in the reign of Emperor Ling. In the past ten years, it has developed rapidly and slowly caught up with the Central Plains.If it weren't for the people here, it would still give people a sense of ignorance, I'm afraid they would mistakenly think that they had returned to the Central Plains.

Changsha County was once changed to Changsha Kingdom, which was the fiefdom of Changsha Wang Shigan.However, due to an accident in Shigan, Guochu was changed back to Changsha County.Shigan heard that he went to the region called Southeast Asia to seal the king, and brought over 10 people, a bunch of supplies, and a few small ships. How to develop there in the future, due to the inconvenient sea transportation, does not know the specific situation.

It was only when I arrived in Xiangyang that I realized that the layout here is powerful.Originally, Xiangyang was suitable to become the capital of the country, after all, there was no danger to defend, but Shihui built several satellite cities to guard around Xiangyang, and each city stationed a certain number of defenders to defend Xiangyang.Coupled with the high walls and thick walls of Xiangyang City, it is not easy to attack.

Xiangyang City is also under construction, but instead of strengthening the city walls, it expands outward. The original city is no longer enough to accommodate more people, so it begins to spread towards the surrounding area. I don’t know what Shi Hui thinks, but the subsequent construction There are no city walls to guard the city.It is estimated that in more than ten years, Xiangyang and several surrounding satellite cities will be connected together because of these urban areas.

By that time, Chang'an or Luoyang probably won't be as prosperous as Xiangyang, right?As for the question of not repairing the city wall, my younger brother also asked about it later, saying that the Great Chu Emperor said that there is no city wall that cannot be broken, only the hearts of the people who cannot be broken.Therefore, not only Xiangyang, but also cities all over the Central Plains will be maintained after deducting the original city walls. Apart from being "relics", no city walls will be built in new urban areas.

My younger brother returned to Qiao County all the way, and passed through more than a dozen counties all the way, and it was always like this.When I came back here and thought about it carefully, I felt that it was so reasonable.After all, the trebuchet is so powerful nowadays, no matter how thick the city wall is, it can't resist it. If you directly put the enemy into the city for street fighting, maybe the effect will be better.

Great Chu emphasizes literature, and libraries are built in various places for the convenience of scholars who need to study by themselves.At the same time, there are short-term evening schools and literacy classes, and the number of illiterate people in the Central Plains is decreasing.The consequence of this is that our family also began to lose sight of everyone, and our original advantages were slowly disintegrated.

When I returned to Qiao County, I found that the Cao family was still there, but the glory was no longer the same as before.In the past, all the houses could be united, but now the rich have already thought about separating out, and the poor have no choice but to become officials and leave favors.Originally, many contacts have gradually weakened, and the Cao family has declined, and it seems that it is not far away...

Xiahou's family is not much better. Fortunately, there are still Xiahou still serving in the army. At the same time, Xiahoupi and Cao Jie's official ranks are not low. The situation of Xiahou's family is even better than that of Cao's.But the same thing, without much financial income, just relying on salary, there is no way to maintain such a wide network of contacts.

There are also many families that can maintain the ancestral teachings, and everyone is united.On the side of the Cao family, the brothers will take good care of them, and they must unite all the houses. Those unfilial children who are short-sighted and want to separate the family should also be taught a lesson.

My brother went to Africa. I don't know if he is in good health. If the big man is stable, why not just come back?Wandering in a foreign land, it is better to return to the roots without fallen leaves.If you insist on staying in Africa, please take good care of your health, brother. I wish you good health! "

After finishing the family letter, Cao Hong felt that there was still a lot to write, but he didn't know how to write it.His literary talent is not that good, and it is not bad to be able to write to this level.

A month later, the letter was sent to Africa. At this time, Dahan had stabilized on the east coast of Africa.Start to survey the surrounding situation and build a dozen settlements along the river.

"Oh, the family letter from brother Hong..." Cao Cao was a lot of people, and he was a lot older. He was very excited when he got the family letter from a sea merchant. He was far away, and the family letter was worth thousands of gold.

At the same time, after taking over the Indian region and changing its name to the Indian province, Wang Yi became a high-ranking official, and Li Zheng was also transferred here to garrison.The large army began to move forward, bordering the Parthian Empire.Frates formally accepted the surrender, but the army was taken over by Mu Huali. It was only because Aldaban IV died of a sudden illness. Only his three-year-old son succeeded to the throne, and the prime minister began to supervise the country.

After taking office, the first thing he did was to send people to recruit Frates, and the second thing was to sign a long-term employment agreement with Da Chu, and hand over all the homeland defense to Da Chu.The third thing, which is also the main thing related to his becoming the mourner of the Parthian Empire, is to allow the army of Great Chu to pass through the Parthian Empire and attack the Roman Empire.

In August 202 AD, after gathering a large number of troops, the Great Chu army, dominated by the two legions of Nanjiyun and Muhuali, attacked the Roman Empire in a mighty manner.
