Kanbo Province, Xizhen Army Headquarters.

"General, the main force of the Qin army has gathered in Kangju King Capital. It seems that a war is about to break out!" A general of Li Pojun said excitedly. This general is Li Pojun's confidant and Li Pojun's clan brother, Li Yuantong. Li Yuantong is tall and quite majestic, with a bit of Zhang Fei's taste.

Li Pojun said calmly: "Although that's the case, the pressure on our side will not be reduced in a short period of time!"

"How is our army's situation?" Li Pojun asked.

Li Yuantong replied: "The total force has been expanded to 150,000! However, compared to Yue Duo's army of 600,000 is still too thin! By the way, General, the envoy of the Qin Dynasty is here, should you meet me?"

"Oh! Please!" "Yes!"

A moment later, a young scholar wearing a scribe's uniform and wrapped in a square scarf came in with Li Yuantong.

"General!" The envoy held his fists and bowed. Li Pojun replied.

After sitting down on both sides, Li Pojun spoke: "I wonder what His Majesty the Emperor of Qin thinks about my proposal?"

The messenger said: "General, you are also a Han Chinese. Your ancestors were once the subordinates of General Ban Chao. He was with General Ban Chao, and he was intimidated by the Western Regions! I also know that although the general's clan lives in a foreign land, the family's ancestral teachings require future generations to not intermarry with foreign races! Now, our Great Qin Empire swept across the world and opened an unprecedented empire! Do you have no idea?"

Li Yuantong, who was standing beside him, looked at Li Pojun with hope. Li Pojun smiled and said, "In that case, His Majesty the Great Qin Empire is willing to help us with all his strength!"

The messenger was stunned and then smiled and said, "Of course! Even if it is not for the benefit, my Great Qin Empire will never sit idly by for the sake of the generals!" The messenger was very frank.

"Since that's the case, then Pojun is here to thank His Majesty the Emperor of the Qin Empire!" Li Pojun stood up and worshiped. The envoy received this gift calmly, because at this moment he represented His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire.

Li Pojun sat down and asked, "But I wonder how the Qin Dynasty will help us?"

The envoy said: "At present, our main force in the Qin Dynasty is fighting against the Ross people in the north, and the war in Kangju is about to break out, so the empire is unable to assist the general in terms of military strength for the time being!"

Li Pojun nodded without surprise.

The envoy continued: "Your Majesty has ordered 150,000 sets of armor and one million harbors of food to Kanbo Province by water! You can arrive in about a month!"

Li Pojun was surprised, "Shuilu!?"

The messenger nodded, "I am not very clear about the specific situation, but since Your Majesty said that, it must be like this!"

Li Pojun clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your help. However, the sea in the south is under Yue Duo's control. His 50,000 naval troops have more than a thousand warships of all sizes! I'm worried~~~"

The messenger smiled and said, "Since Your Majesty has done this, I think there will definitely be a solution!"

Li Pojun nodded.

The two discussed for more than an hour, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, but Li Pojun did not respond to the envoy's intention of soliciting.

After the end of the day, Li Pojun personally sent the envoy out of the capital, and then sent Li Yuantong to escort the envoy back to the inn.

On the way.

"General Li, General Li doesn't seem to be willing to return to my Great Qin?" The envoy frowned. The two were riding on horseback. More than a hundred soldiers were supporting each other.

Li Yuantong: "Actually, the eldest brother has long wanted to return to the Qin Dynasty! But he has never been able to let go of the grace of the Kushan kings! After all, the former king Yuezes has great kindness to the eldest brother and our entire family! It is not only a grace to promote the favor of knowing the favor, but also a great grace to the fate!"

"Since that's the case, then this matter~~?"

Li Yuantong smiled and said, "I think after my elder brother repays Yuezes' kindness, he will definitely defect to Daqin without hesitation!"

The envoy nodded and said, "That's good! I will report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Just as the war in the northern and western borders of the empire was in full swing, thousands of large ships were busy shipping goods on various ports at the ports of Yangzhou in the southeast, and the entire port was blocked by the army.

"How is the loading of goods?" Sun Ce asked. Sun Ce was patrolling the port with several people. There were three people following Sun Ce, all of whom were literati. One of them was Wei Du, who had a close relationship with Chen Chu, and the important figure who helped Chen Chu's family in Chen Chu's most difficult time.

Wei Du replied, "Fifty thousand sets of armored battles and one million dan of grain have been loaded on board, and what is now loaded with silk satin, tea, ceramics and other items requested by His Majesty!"

Sun Ce nodded with satisfaction.

"General, these silk satin, tea, porcelain, etc. should not be supported by Li Pojun, right?" Wei Du asked curiously.

Sun Ce smiled and took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Du, "This is what Your Majesty gave it to you!"

"Oh?!" Wei Du was shocked, and quickly took the letter from Sun Ce and read it. He said with admiration: "Your Majesty is really far-scheming!"

Sun Ce laughed and said, "I think your Majesty has no choice! Nowadays, the war is frequent and the national treasury consumes a lot. Your Majesty is trying every means to make money!"

The three people accompanying him quickly pretended not to hear it and said to himself: "Your sister is the concubine whom His Majesty loves, of course you dare to say that!"

At this time, Zhou Tai chased after him. Zhou Tai was originally under Zhang Fei in Yingzhou, but was transferred back to Yangzhou a few days ago.

"General, all fleets have arrived at the entrance of the sea to wait for their appointment!" Zhou Tai reported.

Sun Ce nodded, looked up at the blue sky, and murmured: "What a good weather!"

One day later, nearly a thousand large ships of camels carried armor, food, grass, and a large amount of silk satin, tea and porcelain left Yangzhou Port and headed towards the entrance of the sea. Weidu was the leader of this fleet. After all, another important task was to trade.

The fleet met with the fleet that had been waiting for it at the estuary, and then went south along the coast in a mighty manner. A thousand years later, the grand occasion of Zheng He's voyage to the West was actually staged at this moment. More than a thousand ships were cruising on the sea like dragons. From a distance, it was extremely shocking. The fleet had more than 300 large and small warships, including twenty-three fortress gunboats, fifty-four shuttles, and the rest were traditional crossbow warships. The size of the crossbow warships was much smaller than that of the gunboats. The commander of the entire fleet was Sun Ce and Zhou Tai, with more than 40,000 naval officers and soldiers accompanying them, and more than 60,000 ships, including ship workers and merchants, including more than 60,000 merchants. This scale is absolutely unprecedented. The fleet was responsible for sailing the watercraft and merchants who had traveled between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific for many years. As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were merchants and pirates between the two oceans.

A day later, Chen Chu, who was far away in Luoyang, received the message that the fleet had set off.

Chen Chu walked to the steps in front of Linde Hall, looked at the distant sky and took a long breath, murmured: "This is the beginning of a real new era!"

The Northern Line. The Qin army had already broken through the Great Song Forest camp of the Ross. Fortunately, Cao Pi had a foresight to build a second line of defense by the river more than ten miles after the Great Song Forest. The defeated Ross army quickly retreated into the second line of defense under the cover of the cavalry. This second line of defense is located on the banks of the Yag River. The terrain is not dangerous, but it tightly holds the throat of the Qin army going north and eastward. The day after the Ross army retreated to the Yag River defense line, the main force of the Qin army arrived at the front of the Ross army and set up the camp. At this time, the Ross people's troops were about 450,000, while the Qin army's troops were about 350,000. In addition, the Ross people had more than 100,000 troops in Laba, while the Qin army's Second Corps and the South, and the Northern Berry Alliance's more than 200,000 troops were northeast of Laba.
