"Maybe warships can be made to wait for orders on the plains of Qi State." Luo Kai, who rarely gave advice, suggested. "The plains of the plains are more than 300 miles away from Handan and can be reached overnight, but I don't know..."

Pingyuanjin is east of Handan, so you can only go against the Huan River to the Zhang River. If you get closer, will the Qin army block the Huan River waterway? If it is blocked, the Huan River is different from the Yellow River and the Zhang River, and the warships will never be able to pass.

"I think it may depend on the situation of the war." Ziyue is very familiar with military affairs, but his words are correct. If the Chu army attacks Xianyang and Qin falls into ruin, Zhao will be saved. "If our army successfully attacks Lantian in September and Handan is survived, we will not send warships to Handan; if our army cannot attack Lantian, we will send warships to King Zhao, Taifu, and Princess Yingnan to welcome back to Chu."

"Yes." The method Naojiu said may be the most appropriate method, Xiong Jing can only say that it is OK.

Xiong Jing said, but Xiang Yan wanted to speak but stopped, but finally he was speechless. At this point, the Chu army had fully mobilized the soldiers, food, and supplies according to the plan of the Grand Sima Mansion. Nothing was useful. He could only look forward to the Chu army attacking Xianyang as Zimo said. As long as Xianyang was eliminated, Qin would be in chaos and Handan would be relieved.

"What else do you have?" Everything is done step by step. Xiong Jing has to deal with very few government affairs, and more of it is his own family affairs.

"Report to the king, Wu Gou Chang Ge told me: He has entered the sea of ​​the earth and visited Carthage." Zhao Shu bowed and said, this was the news from half a month ago.

"Serious." Xiong Jing was happy. "Can there be a return on the route?"

"Yes." Zhaoshu nodded. "The route has been placed in the king's bedroom and wait for the king to see it."

"So what India?" At this time, the question is no longer the world's affairs, but the world's affairs. Wu Gouchang entered the Mediterranean and announced that the Chu State had finally opened a route to Xizhou. Since the route to Xizhou was opened, the spice plan can be fully implemented. As the origin of pepper, closed-shell ginger, sweet rosin, and three tendon leaves, India is the most basic part of the monopoly plan.

"Otuo reported: Baicheng people defeated the Indian army in a row, and now they have passed the Indians north. To the south of Baicheng, a small country appeared to the west of the mainland. The man called himself Tamil. The land of pepper can be used as the boundary..." The king wanted to manipulate the monopoly of the pepper trade, and the ministers just did as he did. However, Xiang Yan, Naojiu and others had no interest in this. Lan She and Dongye Gu even yawned, forcing Xiong Jing to wave their sleeves and let Zhaoshu go to the main hall. Unexpectedly, Zhuao and some ministers followed him all the way to the main hall.

At this time, India and Sinlaga, the southern continent was divided into five countries, Baicheng, Zheluo, Pandiya, Zhuluo, and the newly emerged small Tamil country. The forces of the Mauryan Dynasty had driven out of the Deccan Plateau. According to the discussion between Otuo and Baicheng, he sold his troops to Baicheng. Baicheng guaranteed the independence of the southern countries and did not interfere with the affairs of the southern countries.

As long as she controls the two countries Tamil and Zheluo, she can monopolize the pepper. The Tamil is between Zheluo and Baicheng, and the area is about one-quarter of Zheluo, but her national strength is not inferior to Zheluo and Pandiya. If she wants to become a protected country of Chu, she will have to fight a war, a war with Tamil, Zheluo, Pandiya and Zhuluo. The monopoly caused by this war will inevitably harm the interests of Persian merchants, that is, the Seleucid Empire.

Ouzhe did not report on the four southern countries of India for a long time, but the content about Persian merchants controlling trade in South India was very long. He believed that this involved trade of more than 35 million Drakhs per year - not just pepper. The products in the east of the Indian continent, especially the Ganges plain, had to be transported west through the port of Aragankuran under Pandiya.

"...Otuo also said that Pandiya has always been resentful about me about the establishment of a port in Sinhala, and he no longer allowed me to enter the port in the sea." Zhaoshu said again.

"I am not allowed to enter the harbor by boat?" Xiong Jing's voice increased by octave, "Why are you so rude?"

"I'm afraid it's..." Jin Yi interrupted Zhao Shu's words, "I advise the king, Pandiya, Zhu Luo, and Zheluo envoys arrived in Yingdu. After learning that Qin is the strongest in the world, I have a feud with Qin, so I mistook me. It was polite to have not sold armor and soldiers before, but now I build a port in Sinluoka. Although I have many boats in my sea, Queen Pandiya is very self-controlled, so I am often rude."

"What about gunboats?" Xiong Jing asked. The Chu State stopped building sea boats, but did not stop building gunboats.

"Five ships can be launched this year." Gongshu bowed firmly. "But now that the whole country is calling, there are no sailors."

Taotie-class was originally a gunboat, and it was of the same level as the Lucky ship in the Fuhai Conquer. After a long trial voyage and some problems were improved, the Chaos was set up in the water and was set up last fall. Like the fly-scissor ship, its keel ribs were also wrapped around with huge iron sheets. The construction period of more than 500 tons of sea boats was very short, and the five ships were launched mainly because they wanted to build a large number of inland river boats.

"I think it's not appropriate to attack Pandiya and other countries at this time." Naojiu was worried that Xiong Jing would go to attack Pandiya and Zheluo and other countries in anger.

"King, attacking Qin is the key to everything." Xiang Yan also said. India was too far away, and he could not imagine what the Chu people ran to do.

"Of course, it's not about fighting them at this time." Xiong Jing took a deep breath. He had to deal with the old Ying first before he could turn back to deal with the Indians. "However, after the gunboat was launched, he would enter Sinluojia Port. If he did not intimidate, they would definitely gain a better position."

The Chaos was equipped with 180 people, and the five gunboats were only 900 people. I heard that the king only ordered the gunboats to settle in Sinluoka instead of sending Yingshi or Yueshi troops to settle in. Naojiu, Xiang Yan and others were a little relieved.

"What else?" The Mediterranean affairs can only be passively waiting for news, while the Indian affairs will be delayed until next year or the year after, and Xiong Jing doesn't know what else to do.

"In seven days, our army will attack Qin, please ask the king to go to Xiayi as soon as possible." Everyone was waiting for his words. It was more than 1,700 miles from Yingdu to Xiayi, and there were also mobilizations before the war to boost morale. Xiong Jing must leave Yingdu and go to Xiayi as soon as possible.

"I'm not a slander." Xiong Jing's eyes accidentally swept the western room, and he was about to leave as soon as he came back. In the past few months, he was a little reluctant to let go. However, in this way, the problem of Zhu Temple was solved - Wang Yin actually wanted Mi Xuan to Zhu Temple again in Chu Palace.

"In order not to miss the military situation, I ask the king to leave Ying today." Zhaoshu saw Xiong Jing's gaze swept towards the west room.

"The unspoken always wants to...I always want to bid farewell to the queen," said Xiong Jing. "I always want to say goodbye to the queen."

"The king is wrong." Zhao Shu said. "Mr. Mi has not yet reported to the temple, nor has he joined the king together, so he is not the queen. Moreover, the king has already married the princess of Qi and should marry the princess of Qi as queen. If this statement is known to the people of Qi, he will be displeased."
