Small Landlords of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 155. Taishi Ci's Anger
"Sign up to General, Qingzhou Mu Cao Hong is stationed in front of him, and Cao Zhou Mu will not allow the army to enter the city."

Cao Zhi set off from Xuchang and went to Qingzhou to preside over the battle. The tiger and leopard cavalry were directly under the jurisdiction of Cao Hong, and the entire Qingzhou was under Cao Hong's control.

"My lord, this Cao Hong has been a little..."

Sima Yi has been scheming all his life, and Cao Hong's recent changes have attracted the attention of the Sima family, only Cao Cao has not discovered it yet.

Cao Hong was stationed in Qingzhou Qi State. After Cao Zhi's army entered Jinan State, Cao Hong ordered him to stop and prevent Cao Zhi from entering Qingzhou Fudi.

Cao Hong didn't want Cao Zhu to live in Qingzhou. In fact, he was waiting for the war in Jingzhou. Once Wang Hao went north from Jingzhou, Cao Cao would not care about Qingzhou, and Cao Hong could swallow Huainan in one go.

When necessary, it is a pity to send an army north to attack Yuan Shang's Yizhou. As for Wang Hao in the south, Sun Quan of Xuzhou can resist.

Sun Quan is now a bereaved dog, and only by being attached to Cao Cao can he survive.

Sun Quan didn't dare to turn against Cao's camp. Wang Hao stared at him across the Yangtze River. Once Cao Wei cut off Sun Quan's food and grass, Sun Quan would perish in half a year.

Lu Su: "My lord, Cao Hong is from the north. He doesn't know how powerful Wang Hao's navy is, but we have to guard against it. The only plan for now."

Zhou Yu: "This matter is absolutely unacceptable. Once we fall out with Cao Cao, Wang Hao is bound to go to the north. Time..."

Sun Quan: "Okay, Gongjin and Zijing don't have to argue anymore, this matter still needs to be discussed..."

Soldier: "Report... my lord, the Tanma stationed in Langya County reported that Langya County was attacked by the Jingzhou Navy the day before yesterday, and Cao Lian's uncle and nephew were beheaded by the enemy."

Zhou Yu: "Who did it, Taishi Ci or Gan Ning?"

Soldier: "You can't enter the city by exploring horses. The flag on the top of the city is Wei, and it belongs to the Second Jingzhou Naval Corps."

Wei Yan's surprise attack on Langye County cut off Sun Quan's retreat in one fell swoop, and Sun Quan panicked this time.

"Report... Zhao Yun of Lujiang County is going north, and General Sun Xian is asking for help..."

"Report...Wang Hao's subordinates Gao Shun and Wen Pin led the army, crossed the Yangtze River from Jianye Ferry, and came to Guangling County."

"Report... Wang Hao's Second Naval Fleet, heading north from Wu Jun."

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu panicked in the big tent. Langye County was successfully attacked by Wei Yan. It doesn't matter if Cao Xia Hou Lian's uncle and nephew died, Sun Quan's coastal defense line completely collapsed after this death.

Sun Quan originally thought that Wang Hao, who was undergoing changes, would not dare to go north during this period of time in order to maintain the stability of his territory.

Not only Cao Hong was waiting for Cao Cao's death, but Sun Quan was also waiting. After Cao Wei's civil strife, he took Qingzhou and Yanzhou in one fell swoop.

Lu Su: "Master, now we have only two ways, one is to let Qingzhou deliver food and grass, and defend Xuzhou to the death.

The other way is to retreat from Qingzhou and go north, abandoning Xuzhou, which is a place of wrongdoing. With our current strength, it is impossible to fight against Wang Hao. "

"Withdraw from Xuzhou?"

Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu on the left. Wang Hao's killing order was only aimed at the Sun family and Zhou Yu. Others could surrender, only Sun Quan and Zhou Yu could not.

After losing the territory of Jiangdong, with the surrender of Lu Xun, Lu Meng and others, Sun Quan obviously did not trust the generals under his command.

Zhuge Jin: "My lord, we can't hesitate anymore. Zhao Yun's army from Lujiang County has already approached Pengcheng. If Pengcheng is captured by Zhao Yun, it will be difficult for us to go north again!"

Zhou Yu: "Your Majesty, give the order. Those who achieve great things don't care about small things."

Sun Quan: "Really want to do this?"

Zhou Yu: "I can't help it, time doesn't wait for me."

Zhou Yu and Sun Quan were playing charades, while Lu Su and Zhuge Jin couldn't understand what they were saying.

When Wei Yan captured Langye County, Huang Zu's army also landed in Beihai County, Qingzhou. Tai Shici sent Zhang Liao and Yan Teng to stay in Penglai County, Qingzhou when he went to the Yamatai Kingdom and passed through the East China Sea.

This is Tai Shici's hometown. Tai Shici was replenishing fresh water resources in Penglai County, so he randomly brought a group of local people to Zhang Liao and asked them to be Zhang Liao's guides.

Sun Quan's Xuzhou, Langya County, Pengcheng State, and Guangling County are in flames, leaving only Donghai State, Xiabei County, and Dongguan County in jeopardy.

Cao Zhi had just arrived in Qingzhou, Jinan, and before Cao Hong, who was in Qi, made a move, Beihai and Donglai County were captured by Huang Zu and Zhang Liao.

And the First Fleet, which started to love Taishici, sailed from Penglai County, crossed the East Bay and sailed eastward. The queen of Yamatai Kingdom never dreamed that it would bring disaster to the country because of its approach to whaling along the coast of the Central Plains.

"General, it has been three days and there is still no land. Are we going in the wrong direction?"

Several generals who followed Tai Shici on the expedition looked at the vast sea in front of the battleship with somewhat worried faces.

They have always been sailing in the coastal waters. Even when they sailed to Malay Island last time, Wang Hao kept the fleet as close to the coastline as possible.

This time was different. After setting off from Penglai County for this expedition to Yamatai, they did not encounter any islands for three consecutive days. They encountered small islands and reefs on the way, and there was no fresh water at all.

"Don't worry, everyone. This voyage is different from the last one. Yamatai is different from Malay Island. We need to cross the East Bay, just like the last voyage back."

After the last long voyage, Tai Shici no longer had any doubts about the map given by Wang Hao. The last time he traveled from the Vietnam-Thailand area to Malay Island, there was no fault on the map route from departure to return.

Tai Shici had a map in his hand, and he was not worried at all about his wrong course. No matter what the lieutenants tried to dissuade him, he resolutely let the fleet sail to the northeast.

Chirp... chirp...

A black dot fell from the sky and landed firmly on the bow of the battleship. Vice Admiral Ma walked quickly to pick off the sackcloth under the eagle's claws.

Vice General Ma: "General, this seems to be Zhejiang Brocade?"

Tai Shici: "It's hundreds of miles away from the Central Plains. The fishermen from the coastal fishing villages will definitely not be able to get here. The only possibility is..."

Vice-General Ma: "What does the General mean?"

Tai Shici: "Order the battleships Mengchong and Haochong to separate from the main fleet and patrol the east, with Vice Admiral Rauma leading you personally.

If you find fleets and fishing boats along the way, I will capture them all. If they are just fishing boats, don’t risk your life. As for the whaling boats and soldiers from Yamatai, throw them into the sea to feed the sharks. "

The costumes of the Central Plains appeared in this sea area, so Tai Shici could have guessed that it must have something to do with the Yamatai Kingdom. The battle in Yizhou made Tai Shici's impression of the Yamatai Kingdom greatly diminished.

During the few days when he stayed in Penglai County, Tai Shici was full of anger. Cao Hong had been stationed in Qingzhou for several years.

The warships of the Yamatai Kingdom entered the coast every year to plunder the fishing villages and plunder the women and grains, but Cao Hong ignored them.

Before the expedition, Wang Hao specifically told Tai Shici that after arriving in Yamatai, apart from looking for gold mines and resources, he would not show mercy to the people of Yamatai.

At first Tai Shici thought Wang Hao was too one-sided, but now Tai Shici thinks it is too light, he can't wait to uproot the Yamatai Kingdom!
