Zhang Fei was a little puzzled, and Guan Yu and the others were even more puzzled.
Xu Ding half-truth said: "A big island suddenly appeared in the waters of Lelang County, Youzhou, Donglai. Captain Hengshui's people used warships to investigate in advance. It is estimated that there are foreign and powerful enemies on it. It's up there, so send your troops who have just seen blood to take a look."
Hearing that there was another battle and it was still against foreigners, both Zhang Xi and Guan Yu were excited, especially passionate, especially Guan Yu, who was even more impatient than Zhang Fei. Of course, his expression was hard to reveal, he just smiled, There was murderous intent in his eyes.
After arranging affairs in the county, Xu Ding took Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and others to the east.
The soldiers and horses of both Captain Tuntian and Captain Hengshui were placed in the east.
Duwei Tuntian reclaimed hills and mountains, and built water conservancy; Duwei Hengshui developed coastal areas, and built a new camp in the Weihai area in later generations, and built salt fields and shipyards accordingly.
When Xu Ding and others arrived, the place had changed drastically, and a new big town was formed.
After looking around, Xu Ding said: "Zike has done a good job, and this place should become a county seat in a short time."
"It's thanks to my lord's choice of a good location. Zhicai and others are willing to allocate money and food, and Zinong and his soldiers come to help. Otherwise, even if Qian is determined to do it, he will not build this scale so quickly." Lu Qian is modest. replied, and then asked:
"My lord hasn't chosen a name yet, why don't you come here."
Everyone knew that Xu Ding was very proficient in naming, so they all looked at him.
Xu Ding thought for a while and said: "This is the headquarters of the Hengshui captain. In the future, our Donglai navy will go out from here, ride the wind and waves, and make a splash in the world. Let's call it Weihai!"
Everyone clapped their hands and applauded, and I have to say that the name was so wonderful and meaningful.
Then Lu Qian took Xu Ding to see the newly built boats. There were not many of them, and the hulls were not too big. They could barely go out to sea, but if they were too far away, it would be dangerous.
But it is enough, this time is not to break the sea and jump to attack, but to transport the troops to the island of Cyprus, and the monsoon has stopped long ago, and the sea is calm and there will be no major problems.
Basically satisfied, Xu Ding let everyone rest for a day, and prepare to go out to sea the next day.
In the evening, Zaozhi came to see him.
Looking at the slightly tanned Zaozhi, Xu Ding said: "It seems that Zi Nong has lived a fulfilling life and lost a lot of weight."
"My lord entrusted me with such an important matter, how can Zi Nong slack off." Zaozhi continued:
"My lord, in the entire east, there are only two other places except Captain Hengshui, which is suitable for large-scale reclamation of farmland and construction of a big city."
"Oh! In other words, the entire eastern part can be located in three more counties, which is not bad." Similar to Xu Ding's estimate, Donglai has more hills and mountains, and there will be fewer places suitable for building cities, which means that in the future Donglai Population ceiling is not optimistic.
Then the significance of the island of Cyprus is great.
Next, I chatted with Zaozhi about farming.
The next day the sails were set, half of Captain Hengshui's navy left the water fortress, and almost all the warships were mobilized.
Slowly sailing in the direction of 10 to 20 degrees east and north, after a day, I finally saw the shadow of a big island in the distance.
There are several small islands around the big island. On the small islands, there are naval scouts sent by Captain Yokosui in advance, waiting.
"Lieutenant Bingdu and Fujun, the island is huge, the largest island I have ever seen. The south side of the island is bordered by the sea and is a mountain range, extending horizontally to the east. If you want to step on the island, you have to go from the west or the farther east. Landing, no one was found on the island, the island is densely forested, and the terrain becomes more and more flat as you go north, which is very suitable for farming."
The soldiers on Dengdao briefly described what they knew.
This is basically not much different from what Xiao Wu said, the difference is that Xiao Wu knows all the above situations, while the scouts only investigate part of it, and then analyze it based on what they see.
"The fourth and fifth captains should land from the west. Zi Ke, you and your navy will continue to sail eastward to find a suitable landing place. At the same time, pay attention to the situation on the island. If you find that someone is not allowed to go to the island and cause conflict, just block the coast." Yes, and let us know immediately." Xu Ding made arrangements with a wave of his hand, and the army was divided into two, heading east and west of Cyprus Island.

Chapter 46 Conquering the Island of Cyprus
Soon Xu Ding and others landed westward, and it was exactly as the scouts said.
After going to the island, they first set up camp and opened up garrisons, not only to prepare for the camp of the army, but also to facilitate the settlement of the people in the future to open up cities and towns.
Then the army divided to investigate, opened roads, repaired roads and laid bridges, and marched towards the central plain.
After driving along the way, everyone was pleasantly surprised by the land they saw, because this island is huge. Except for the mountains in the north and south, the entire central part is full of fertile plains.
"If Zi Nong sees this, he will probably go crazy with joy." A piece of fertile land without ownership is a good place to farm and control the people.
"My lord, anyone who sees such a good place will go crazy with joy." The big man is based on agriculture, and no matter who sees it, everyone will go crazy with joy, including Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
Xu Ding nodded and said: "Okay, everyone, don't get excited. The further you go east, you will probably encounter alien races. Don't be surprised or flustered when you see those people. Tell the soldiers that these alien races are a bit different from what you imagined. The difference, they may have blue eyes, yellow hair, fair skin, so don't be too surprised."
"It's the lord!" Everyone replied, but they were even more curious. Listening to Xu Ding's description, they felt that these alien races were a bit like monsters.
Soon the messenger came after him, who was sent by Lu Qian.
It means that they have arrived in the east and found many Semu people, who are closely monitoring them.
Xu Ding told everyone the news, and everyone screamed and got ready to fight. Dengdao has been digging mountains and paving roads and building bridges for so long, Yijing can't wait any longer.
Soon the army built the road to the east, and the scouts discovered the Semu people that Lu Qian said.
The population of these settlements is not large, but they built castles. The appearance of the castles is quite different from the square city structure in Dahan. Most of them are built on the hills, and they were once arranged in steps, and the buildings are quite high with round arches or spires. Mainly, full of exotic style.
Looking at these people's clothes are relatively revealing, whether it is a woman or a child, the arms and shoulders are exposed outside, and even many men are naked from the upper body, while showing the legs below the knee, but each of them is extremely strong, with weapons It is also mainly based on a buckler and a short knife or a javelin.
"It's quite Roman style!" Xu Ding came to investigate in person, and said to everyone:
"Once you get into a fight, tell everyone to be careful. Although these aliens look barbaric and unrefined, they have a bit of a tough fighting style, especially those wearing red clothes. This is their most elite army."
"It's the lord! We remember it."
Zhang Fei and the others looked at each other's physique and looked at the appearance of their own soldiers. They had to admit that the other party was quite strong. Such a person was a good source of soldiers, so they didn't dare to be careless.
Find out the number and distribution of the nearby Romans, and then go back to discuss the plan. The army is divided into three groups to clean up the Romans on these islands.
Before the action, Xu Ding explained again: "By the way, if you encounter someone who can be captured alive, try not to kill him. We need such prisoners."
Soon the army was dispatched to attack the Roman natives.
The Romans were a little confused when they saw the Han army.
Where did this army come from? There is no news at all.
When they took up arms to resist, they were even more confused.
Because the army of the big Han is very disciplined, and the team cooperates well. With the addition of a strong crossbow, the range of the Han bow is far. One was killed or wounded and captured.
With a good plan, another surprise attack, and superior weapons, Xu Ding and others soon attacked all the Roman settlements in the east.
Of course, there were also escaped Romans who tried to escape from the sea, but were also captured by Lu Qian's navy.
"Mr. Bingfu, a total of 320 enemies were eliminated in this battle, and 410 people were captured."
