The army led by Lu Xuan rested for three days, then left Fushan City with the army and headed east of Fushan City.
The road to the east is more difficult.
In particular, Lu Xuan's army carried a lot of equipment. These siege equipment were difficult to navigate on rugged roads or small roads, so it took the army more than a day to reach the port where Tokugawa Ieyasu evacuated.
This port out to sea is very vast. Standing at the port, looking around, there is an endless sea. After Lu Xuan observed for a while, he found that there were seabirds circling at low altitude everywhere, and the weather was a bit gloomy.
Lu Xuan looked at the empty camp again, it was bare, only the chaos after eating, drinking and defecating.
Apparently, Tokugawa Ieyasu retreated for a long time.
Although Lu Xuan knew the general direction to Honshu Island, he had to consider the weather when crossing the ocean.
Lu Xuan ordered the troops to set up camp, looked at Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun You and others who were following him, and said, "Judging from the current weather, there may be some problems. Do you think there will be a storm coming?"
"There must be!"
Guo Jia answered firmly.
He raised his head and glanced at the endless sea, then at the low sky, with a serious look on his face, and continued: "Your Majesty, the situation at sea is no better than others. It must be stable. Otherwise, once the sea is in trouble, it is very easy for the ship to be destroyed and people to die. There was an accident at sea, and there was not even the slightest hope of survival.”
Guo Jia was a little afraid of taking a boat.
Going to sea from China to Japan, Guo Jia vomited many times on the way because he was not used to the bumps on the sea. After a lot of trouble, Guo Jia gradually got used to it. Even so, Guo Jia always felt that the sea was dangerous in his heart.
Cao Cao also glanced at the sky in the distance, his eyes calm, and said: "Your Majesty, I also agree to postpone sending troops and wait for a while. First, we must wait for the sea to be calm before we can successfully sail to the other side of the Japanese country."
"Second, we have absolutely no idea about Tokugawa Ieyasu's base camp. We also need to arrange for people to inquire about the information and sail there in advance to find out Tokugawa Ieyasu's situation."
"Without these two points, everything would be very difficult."
"Besides, if we encounter a Japanese warship at sea when we go to sea. Because we have not made enough preparations and have not considered a response strategy, how should we fight it?"
Cao Cao said: "I suggest that we investigate the situation first and not make mistakes. We are strong and have a solid foundation. As long as we fight steadily, we can definitely destroy Tokugawa Ieyasu. There is no need to take risks. There is no need to gamble when there are opportunities."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "That's it, we will postpone the dispatch of troops. However, Deng Dang's sentinels must be distributed around the camp and watch carefully. I am worried that there may be Tokugawa Ieyasu's people hiding around."
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."
"If there are people left by Tokugawa Ieyasu, after taking down the other party, we can further understand the situation and find out the details of Tokugawa Ieyasu."
Lu Xuan said: "For warships that need to go to sea, immediately arrange for people to go to Guangfucheng and inform Xun Yu to make arrangements to transfer the warships docked at the port near Guangfucheng to us for subsequent transportation."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really worried that Lu Xuan would send troops impatiently and rush to destroy Tokugawa Ieyasu.
There is no need to rush when fighting on the battlefield.
We need to cross the sea, let alone rush.
Lu Xuan is a wise and wise man, but there is no perfect person in the world. A person who is victorious in every battle keeps winning. Over time, he will easily feel that everything is under control, and things will easily go wrong.
Lu Xuan ordered: "Set up camp and rest."
"Here!"
Cao Cao received the order and immediately made arrangements.
The army rested near the harbor. The army rested and had nothing to do for the time being. After Lu Xuan relaxed, he took Sun Shangxiang for a stroll in the coastal area.
After walking for a while, I saw Cao Cao was there.
Cao Cao stood on a big rock and looked at the blue sea in the distance, and his mind suddenly broadened.
His whole body was relaxed as never before.
When Cao Cao lost the decisive battle with Lu Xuan in Xingyang City, although he was persuaded by Lu Xuan and submitted to Lu Xuan, Cao Cao actually felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He always felt uncomfortable.
However, Cao Cao did not reveal it.
After Cao Cao followed Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. He continued to deal with internal affairs and did not send troops. Cao Cao was also worried. Now that he has sent out troops and reached the Japanese country in the first step, Cao Cao has seen a different world, a different environment and customs, and has completely relaxed.
Cao Cao really believed it and felt that the world was vast and everything was possible.
Cao Cao saw Lu Xuan and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Father-in-law is here to climb up and look far. What do you think?"
Cao Cao shook his head and replied: "I just think the scenery is pleasant, and I earnestly hope to cross the sea as soon as possible."
Lu Xuan said: "There will be a chance."
Cao Cao changed the topic and continued: "Looking at the weather, although the dark clouds are low, there seems to be wind and rain coming. But at present, our shore is relatively good for the time being. Especially in the west area, there is a beach, walking on the beach Very comfortable."
"It is said that those who rely on the mountains must rely on the water to eat. In this place, there is currently nothing edible in the mountains."
"But if you rely on water to drink water, you should also have food to eat."
"I don't know if you can fish and eat in the nearby sea? Although there is no delicious meat like cattle and sheep, if you can have fish to eat when you are out fighting, it is also an excellent delicacy for us who are marching and fighting."
Cao Cao said: "A large number of troops are stationed here and need more nutritional supplements."
Lu Xuan's eyes lit up after hearing this.
He ignored it.
Being close to the coast, there is a lot of seafood to eat. King crabs and the like are found in the deep sea, but giant lobsters can be found in nearby reefs. In addition, there are some sea urchins, abalone and the like.
At this stage, unlike overfishing in later generations, the current seafood resources are very abundant.
September and October are now the perfect time to find big lobsters.
Lu Xuan became excited after thinking about it, and said, "Father-in-law, we have nothing to do anyway, and the storm hasn't come yet, so we might as well come to the beach to find something to eat."
Cao Cao blinked, looked at the blue sea, and sighed: "Your Majesty, we don't have any fishing rods, how can we fish? Even if we want to fish, we need to find a good location. Otherwise, we won't be able to fish at all."
"Who said I was going fishing?"
Lu Xuan smiled and shook his head.
His goal is not fishing. With the current fishing rod, it is impossible to catch big fish.
Only the fishing rods of later generations will have a chance.
Cao Cao asked: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Lu Xuan looked expectantly and replied: "Let's look for big lobsters, abalones, big crabs, and oysters. Let's go and do what we say. First go back and prepare the net bag, and then prepare the iron fork to facilitate fishing and catching lobsters."
Cao Cao said: "I will wait and see."
Lu Xuan took Cao Cao and Sun Shangxiang back and walked straight towards the military camp.
