Chapter 954 The situation is serious!
Nanshawan belongs to Yan territory, located in the northwest of Yan State and the south of Zhao State. When Wang Kang counterattacked Yan State, he forced Yan State to seek peace and compensation for land cede, and specially chose this place.
Later, when he returned to Zhao State, Emperor Zhao granted him this place.
Regarding the court, many people believe that this is just a move by Emperor Zhao to offer Buddha through flowers and show his grace. Yan State was cedes territory, but the face was greater than the actual meaning.
This place is originally in Yan State. Even if it is given to you, it will still face a lot of troubles, not to mention that it is close to the sea. Do you have the ability to stay?
There is obviously no Zhao State today.
So I gave it to Wang Kang. This is what you have won, so I gave it to you and gave it to you to garrison...
This can only be said that they are too superficial.
Nanshawan is close to Zhao State and belongs to the border area. If it goes straight south from Yangzhou, it is not too far.
The key is that the terrain here is relatively complex and close to the sea area, so it is not stationed, but if the situation is analyzed, it will be a hidden danger.
Zhao State is located in the inland.
There is no development in this regard, whether it is sea transportation or sea combat.
This is a blank space.
Based on comprehensive comparison, Wang Kang chose here to establish a port, which is of great significance in both freight and strategic importance.
This is also the monopoly that Zhang Xianxian once said.
When he was negotiating with Yan State before, Wang Kang only knew what he had on the map. After some rough inquiries, he didn't know what it was.
This was his first time.
Wang Kang took the Pingxi Army, brought enough military supplies, food and grass, and brought craftsmen borrowed from the Ministry of Works, and set off directly...
In short, everything is simple.
I don’t know the specific situation yet, so I will get to know it first. Lin Yuyan and Li Qingman did not follow him because they wanted to take care of their children.
However, Jiang Chuyun still insisted on following.
Wang Kang gave a lot of comfort, but there was no way.
Nothing to say along the way.
The army marched, set off in Yangzhou, heading south, passing through Luzhou and Qianzhou, and after half a month, we arrived in Huzhou...
This is also the prefecture of the border with Yan State.
When I entered here, I clearly felt that there was a difference from the life in Yangzhou.
Because there are close to the sea, there are many people here who make a living by fishing.
Of course, if you want to fish, you can only go to the territory of Yan. In the past, Zhao and Yan were quite close, but it was fine, but now it is different.
The two countries are completely hostile.
The lives of fishermen have been greatly affected...
The army arrived at Huzhou City, and the Huzhou Governor led a group of officials out of the city to greet him.
It seems to be a repeat of history. Liu Zhong, the governor of Huzhou, is already in his sixties, and his beard is all white, and he seems to be in a bad health.
He bent down tremblingly and said, "I have met Lord Wang."
"I've met Lord Wang."
Afterwards, the officials bowed and bowed.
"Mr. Liu is so serious."
Wang Kang was busy holding on and asking such an old man to salute him, but he was still not used to it.
"We Huzhou people are looking forward to receiving the documents from the court and finally come."
"Something was delayed."
According to the normal process, he should have arrived more than 20 years ago, but now he is more than a month late...
However, the voice of the Huzhou governor did not seem to be false, and he really wanted to let him come here soon.
Wang Kang asked: "Is there any problem?"
“It’s a big problem.”
Liu Zhong said, "Our Huzhou borders Yan State, with many rivers here. The people of our Huzhou also make a living by fishing."
"It was nothing before. After all, I had to go to other people's places and pay more fishing money."
"Fishing gold is the additional money that Yan State collects for our Zhao State fishermen."
Liu Zhong explained: "But after the war between Yan and Zhao started, they did not allow us to enter, and they even came to harass him many times."
"It's OK."
Wang Kang said, "The fishermen should be in the Nanshawan area. Now it belongs to our Zhao State, so we can naturally enter normally."
“That’s what I’m talking about.”
Liu Zhong said angrily: "There is Nanshawan south of Huzhou, where people in Yan are not very fond of it. Now that we have compensated us, there is no problem, but the fact is not the case."
"What's wrong?"
"They have come and sent troops!"
Liu Zhong said, "They sent several warships and stopped in the Lanjiang River. They announced that we Zhao people would kill them when they went over, and they also crossed the boundaries from time to time to provoke and deter them!"
"Our State of Zhao does not have a large-scale garrison here, and Huzhou has not much force and lacks the ability to resist. It is really miserable..."
Liu Zhong sighed repeatedly.
However, Wang Kang's brows became more and more frowning. He didn't expect Murong Zhao to play this game.
Nanshawan has obviously been stolen to Zhao State, but he still did this. He had not sent troops before, but now he has sent them. This is clearly a deliberate provocation!
Wang Kang asked again: "Have you reported this to the court?"
Liu Zhong said, "It's not just Yan State, but because of Linjiang, pirates often come here, burn, kill, loot, and leave."
"I reported to the county government very early and the imperial court. It should have been established as a naval army, but I did not receive any response. The last time I reported it was after the war. This time I received a reply, saying that you are coming."
"Mainly, Huzhou City is too close to the water..."
He added another sentence.
After hearing this, Wang Kang also learned a little. It seemed that the situation was even more complicated and serious than he expected!
Murong Zhao deliberately did this, just to grasp the shortcomings of Zhao State. I believe Emperor Zhao knew that this would be the case, so he gave him Nanshawan and let him garrison and become a barrier...
Calculation!
All are calculations!
However, Wang Kang had expected this situation before. The key now is to shock the Yan State so that they dare not harass them again.
Otherwise, entering Nanshawan will be a problem.
"Oh, seeing how busy I am talking about it, Lord Wang has worked hard for a long distance, so come to the city to rest."
Liu Zhong interrupted his thoughts again.
"good."
Wang Kang did not refuse either.
I have been busy on the road and have not stopped. I really should have a good rest and learn more about the situation.
Wang Kang ordered the army to station directly outside the city. At this time, Jiang Chuyun's frame also came over under the escort of the Imperial Guard...
"This is?"
"Princess Yulian."
"Princess Yulian?"
Liu Zhong suddenly stopped and hurriedly met him. Huzhou was also a remote place, and Princess Yulian's golden branches and jade leaves actually came.
Wang Kang arranged for the Pingxi Army to be stationed.
"Tread!Tread!Tread!"
At this moment, a dense sound of horse hooves sounded.
"Urgent report!"
"Urgent report!"
This was a soldier wearing a military uniform and rushed over from the south alone.
See this.
Liu Zhong didn't care about anything else and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"pirate!"
"The pirates are here again..."
Chapter completed!
