Chapter 272 Arriving at Harbor City

Chapter 272 Arriving at Harbor City

Ever since Meng Chen learned that Cao Cao wanted to buy war horses through the Southern Huns, he began to brew a terrifying plan in his heart.

Now, Cao Cao's strength has grown to a certain extent. Although he is still far behind Meng Chen unilaterally, as a future opponent, Meng Chen has the attitude of being able to make a fool of himself.

War horses, in a sense, are completely scarce resources, and Mengchen has stricter control over war horses.

In order to prevent the hostile forces from getting the war horses, Mengchen banned all private horse trades.

Instead, it is the official horse market!As for the price, Mengchen has always adopted a people-friendly policy.

And those horses that could no longer go to the battlefield due to injuries have since then had sales channels.

In this way, it is even more difficult for Cao Cao to buy a war horse.

The last time Cao Cao came into contact with Hu Chuquan, Cao Cao had spent a lot of money.

After all, those furs are not so easy to collect, especially the complete white tiger skin obtained by Meng Chen, which is even more difficult to find.

As for how to cheat Cao Cao, Meng Chen had already discussed with Pang Tong.

Hu Chuquan and Pang Tong will sing the double reed. As for how to operate it, that is something Bu Mengchen needs to consider.

Crouching dragon and phoenix chicks, the one who gets one wins the world, this sentence is not casually said.

Pang Tong has just joined Meng Chen, and his reputation is not great at this time, so it is most appropriate for him to be in charge of this matter.

After staying in Ji County for five days, Meng Chen set off again. Since leaving Chang'an, Meng Chen has spent nearly two months on the road.

With the advent of summer, the scorching heat is approaching day by day. In order to avoid accidents, Meng Chen ordered the army to move forward quickly, trying to reach Harbor City when the scorching heat came.

Harbor City, Gan Ning has been here for four full years!
Over the past four years, under the witness of Gan Ning, Harbor City has grown little by little.

Especially not far away, the three treasure ships moored in the military port are Gan Ning's precious lumps.

At this moment, Gan Ning led three hundred bell guards, quietly standing outside the north gate of Harbor City, looking into the distance, anxiously waiting for Meng Chen's arrival.

"Tattoo!"

There was a rush of hoofbeats, Gan Ning finally had a look of excitement on his face.

"Report, report to the general, the master's carriage is five miles away." The waiter retreated after finishing speaking.

Not long after, another scout returned and repeated the same sentence. The only difference was that the distance between Mengchen's frame was gradually shrinking.

As time went by, small black dots appeared on the horizon not far away, and Gan Ning's excitement was beyond words.

"Here we come, you will follow the general to meet the lord." Gan Ning roared, got on his horse and rushed out.

He rushed to Mengchen's frame, before the horse stopped, Gan Ning jumped down and shouted loudly: "Don't take Gan Ning, welcome to the lord!"

"Hahaha, Xingba's loud voice hasn't changed at all." Meng Chen laughed loudly and raised the curtain of the carriage, and also jumped out of the carriage.

Reaching out to support Gan Ning, he took a closer look: "It's dark and strong, and this Marquis can't wait to board the treasure ship."

As soon as the treasure ship was mentioned, Gan Ning became excited. Before the treasure ship took shape, he would encounter various problems every time he went to sea for training, and it was even more normal for soldiers to sacrifice.

Even so, Gan Ning did not waver in his confidence, because he found that his experience in the river was useless on the sea.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, at least the situation improved after the launch of the first treasure ship.

However, due to inexperience in shipbuilding, the first treasure ship soon had a major accident.

In this accident, the treasure ship ran aground and sank.

It directly caused the death of more than 300 people, and this is also the largest accident that has occurred so far since the establishment of the Navy.

Even so, Gan Ning did not back down, but instead encouraged shipbuilders to sum up their experience and continue to build new ships.

It is also due to Gan Ning's unyielding spirit that completely infected everyone that Harbor City has the situation it is today.

Looking at the large-scale Harbor City in the distance, Meng Chen sighed:

"Xingba, you've worked hard all these years. Rugan Xingba deserves the most credit for making Harbor City what it is today."

"Thank you for your praise, my lord. Xingba dare not bow down. If the artisans hadn't worked hard day and night, Harbor City wouldn't have grown to such a scale."

"Xingba is right. The most important thing for this Marquis is to build a monument in Harbor City, so that those heroic souls can be admired by future generations."

Hearing this, Gan Ning's whole body trembled, and the tears in his eyes were instantly filled.

Those sacrificed soldiers and craftsmen who fell here finally have their home, Meng Chen's move will definitely be loved by everyone.

"My lord..." Gan Ning didn't know what to say as soon as the words came out of his mouth.

"Let's go, before boarding the treasure ship, I will go to worship the heroic spirit first!"

Meng Chen's words are not groundless. In the past four years, how many soldiers have been sacrificed and how many craftsmen have died suddenly, he has an account in his hand.

Before coming here, Meng Chen also made sufficient preparations, this is not a face project, but an action from Meng Chen's heart!
Countless sacrifices were placed on the table, and Meng Chen read out his eulogy solemnly.

The whole piece of eulogy was flowing and flowing, majestic and majestic. After reading it, the scene was full of crying!
Meng Chen calmed down, this eulogy was written by Chen Lin, and this effect was exactly what Meng Chen wanted.

As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, but isn't what Meng Chen is doing to buy the hearts of the people?

After worshiping the heroic spirit, Meng Chen boarded the treasure ship directly, although it was only a small treasure ship, it was enough for Meng Chen to be excited for a while.

The three wives who followed Meng Chen, not to mention the two younger sisters, looked here and there on the treasure ship excitedly.

Especially Sun Shangxiang and Mi Zhen became very interested in this big ship.

"Husband, the Mi family also built a big boat, but this boat is too big!"

Mi Zhen let out a sigh of emotion, if such a big ship is used for transportation...

Thinking of this, Mi Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up!

"Brother, this boat is bigger than Jiangdong's building boats, and ordinary rivers may not be able to enter."

What Sun Shangxiang said was right, but she didn't know that it was just a small treasure ship!

"Who said you want to enter an ordinary river? This ship is going to go to sea." Meng Chen said loudly.

"Really? Can General Gan sail out to sea?" Sun Shangxiang looked excited.

Gan Ning was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, it is no problem to go to sea, but today is definitely not the time.

"Not today, we have just arrived and rested for a few days before going out to sea." Meng Chen spoke to relieve Gan Ning.

"My lord's words are formal. Going to sea requires careful preparations. Food, fresh water, and soldiers are all indispensable."

"What's more, the maritime environment is complex and dangers can be seen everywhere."

Gan Ning hastily added that although he has explored a little sea route over the years, the price he has to pay is heavy.
