The Han army broke through the siege of Quan Cong, Wei Wen and others and headed straight for Yizhou.
After a month, we finally landed on the island successfully.
Thanks to Liu Mang's nautical charts, Gan Ning's excellent boating skills, and of course the good weather, there were no excessive winds and waves.
At least in today's era, shipbuilding technology is limited and safety at sea cannot be 100% certain.
After Zhang Xingcai landed on the island, her whole face was radiant. She really hated the feeling of rocking on the boat.
Only stepping on land makes people feel solid and reliable.
The people accompanying him had already begun to record what Yizhou saw and heard.
"Yizhou is located southeast of Linhai, two thousand miles away from the county. The land is free of snow and frost, and the vegetation is immortal. It is surrounded by mountains, and the mountains are inhabited by barbarians."
"Each of these barbarians is called a king, and the land is divided, and the people are different."
"The land is fertile, producing grains and plenty of fish."
Obviously, the natives of Yizhou do not welcome outsiders.
With the arrival of Liu Mang and others, many people on the island, armed with stone weapons, began to surround them.
"Your Highness, it seems they don't welcome us."
Gan Ning was gearing up, no matter who his opponent was, as long as he showed his teeth to Liu Mang, he would not hesitate to take action.
"Wait a minute and see if we can talk."
Liu Mang waved his hand, signaling everyone to put down their weapons, or at least not to show hostility.
Today's Yizhou is not yet civilized, so he can only use the most primitive method - sign language to communicate with each other.
After talking and gesturing, Liu Mang understood why the other party was so nervous.
Nowadays, Yizhou actually has the opportunity to contact the outside world.
Soochow merchant ships at sea would occasionally encounter wind and waves. At this time, some people would be lucky enough to drift to Yizhou.
The local natives would rescue them and give them food so that they could blend in.
These businessmen tried their best to return to Soochow, but they did not feel grateful to the Yizhou natives.
In their eyes, they found business opportunities!
In front of Sun Quan, they boasted that Yizhou was Yingzhou where the alchemist Xu Fu had visited.
The native people are all descendants of the boys and girls brought by Xu Fu.
As soon as this news came out, if Sun Quan had not been trapped in the war in the Central Plains, he would have sent people to look for him.
"People from the Central Plains... are bad..."
The native leader said bluntly: "We... were treated as slaves and sold to them!"
Looking back on history, Sun Quan's exchanges with Yizhou were nothing more than bringing back thousands of natives.
It can be seen that Sun Shiwan failed to bring Yizhou into the territory in the end.
"You are actually all the people of the Han Dynasty, not foreigners without a country."
"When you get sick in the future, there will be strong doctors to help treat you."
"Your children will be taught how to read by a big man."
Liu Mang ordered that the food on the ship be taken off and shared with these native people.
Seeing the dazzling array of various kinds of food, none of the native people dared to touch it.
Liu Mang understood that he must have been tricked by Soochow businessmen.
Liu Mang picked up a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth. The natives followed suit.
Many people had never tasted such sweet cakes before, and they all smiled knowingly.
Liu Mang's kindness also made the natives put down a lot of their guard.
They also brought out the food used to entertain distinguished guests - Hericium soup.
Faced with such fierce dishes, Liu Mang couldn't bear it.
Fortunately, Guan Yinping worked hard. Although the little girl is now slim and graceful, she is still greedy.
"Brother Liu Mang! This Hericium soup has a unique taste!"
"Yin screen, pay attention to your hygiene and don't get upset after eating!"
"Oops! There's even fish to eat raw!"
Guan Yinping wiped her saliva. After questioning, the locals found out that Guan Yinping was one of Liu Mang's wives.
Seeing Liu Mang's wife being so keen on their food, the natives became less wary of Liu Mang again.
Guan Yinping drank a lot today, and Liu Mang did this deliberately.
High-strength liquor can sterilize, and it also makes the natives feel their humanity.
Men and women sang and danced, and it must be said that all the native people on the island were good at singing and dancing.
If outsiders hadn't come to the island, they might still be living such a carefree life.
But Liu Mang obviously thought too much, and soon he heard the cry of killing.
"The barbarians are each called a king, and the land is divided, and the people are different."
Only then did Liu Mang know that there were at least four forces in Yizhou at this time.
The natives who received him were obviously the weakest group.
"Xingba, come to life!"
"Don't be merciful and protect these natives."
"Let them know that we are not without means, but are willing to live in peace with them."
Liu Mang had already learned from the native leader that their tribe was called "Dongyi".
The "Northern Barbarians" are the strongest and are also related to the legendary four islands of Yingzhou.
Their leader was even canonized by the Queen of the Four Islands of Yingzhou.
Being backed by the four Yingzhou Islands gave the Northern Barbarian tribes the courage to launch war against the Yizhou Islands.
The major tribes either completely surrendered and joined the Northern Barbarians, or they could only be driven away continuously.
The natives were fleeing in all directions, and they did not forget to remind Xiao Yao that many trembling Dongyi people even took the initiative to protect Liu Mang with weapons.
But when I looked up, they were all "sharp blades" such as wooden spears and stone spears.
Liu Mang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but the simplicity of the other party made him feel at ease.
"If I can incorporate Yizhou into the Chinese version of the map in advance, maybe it will change a lot of things."
Liu Mang thought of this, especially the four islands of Yingzhou that the Northern Barbarians backed, which reminded him of that country that everyone hated.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
"No, Queen Yamatai at that time had already been canonized by Cao Pi."
"So, behind Yamatai is the Wei Dynasty. Since it is a hostile country, why is Te Niang still hesitant?"
Gan Ning led the Jinfan bandits and had already fought against the Northern Barbarians.
What's the problem if you're drunk, your chest is still open, and your temples are slightly frosted?
The Huanshou Dao in the hands of the Jinfan thief is a magical weapon in the eyes of the Northern Man.
The Northern Barbarians, who have always been known for their bravery and prowess in battle, instantly changed from lions to earth dogs when they encountered the Han army. They were beaten so hard that they ran away with their heads covered.
The Dongyi tribe, which was still fleeing in all directions, only then realized that the guests they entertained were actually so powerful!
"They...have the help of Queen Yingzhou..."
"What are you afraid of? You have the Emperor of the Han Dynasty as your backer. Are you no more famous than the Queen of Yingzhou?"
Liu Mang waved his hand, and the Han army's flag was flying. The Northern Barbarians suffered a loss and did not dare to make mistakes, so they had to retreat first.
"Master Zhang, there are many people injured, it's your turn to perform!"
When Zhang Lu heard this, his eyes lit up. This was a good opportunity to preach!
At first, Zhang Lu was worried that the native people on the island were in poor health and would not be able to use talisman water mixed with medicine to treat their illnesses.
Who would have thought that Beiman's surprise attack would help him a lot!
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I guarantee that these people will become good citizens!"
"But what exactly are the four Yingzhou Islands they call?"
As a heavenly master, Zhang Lu has a heart to cultivate immortality after all.
"There is no Yingzhou at all, they are just a bunch of treacherous villains!"
