Chapter 1051: World Situation
Nanbei Changshan Island is located in the north of Donglai, about 20 miles away from the Huangxian coast. There are also two waves of pirates on the island, about a thousand people, who were quickly eliminated by the Shuanghe Navy, and then the pirates' nest on the island was destroyed. After the navy carefully inspected the island, they found that this was indeed a good place to build a navy base. Several large islands formed a large circle with a large bay in the middle. In addition, there were large tracts of arable land on the island, which was enough to feed thousands to tens of thousands of people.
After getting the news that the two islands that were more suitable for building a base had been found, Huangfu Chaobo arranged the government affairs in Luoyang as quickly as possible. Even so, it still took him four or five days to arrange Luoyang. Then, under the protection of the Xianzhen Camp and the Tiebi Camp, he boarded the building ship and hurriedly headed towards Qingzhou.
Because the three major military strategists Pang Tong were still in Hebei, defending against Yuan Shao with Zhao Yun and Ju Su, and consolidating the defense line of Wei County, while Lu Su stayed in Changyi, responsible for coordinating the affairs of the Yanzhou front, so Guo Jia went with him this time. For the layout of the sea and Youzhou, all the counselors fully supported it. The layout of the sea was much safer than Qingzhou, and Huangfu Chaobo's idea was deeper. He wanted to turn Bohai Bay into a bathtub for his own navy.
On the building ship, Huangfu Chaobo's communicator, which had been closed for N days, was finally turned on. Once it was turned on, it was "beep, beep" for more than ten minutes. Looking up, even though Huangfu Chaobo had been mentally prepared, he was also shocked by the unread messages on it, which were as many as thousands.
Huangfu Chaobo basically just glanced at these messages and did not pay much attention to them. He just stayed on the messages of several allies for a few seconds. Even so, it took more than half an hour to roughly go through these messages.
Then Huangfu Chaobo connected to Zhao Zilong's communication.
"Oh my god, who is this!" Just after the call was connected, Zhao Zilong's teasing voice came from the inside: "Oh my god, it's the Duke! Oh my god..."
"Get lost, speak human language! If you don't, I'll hang up..." Huangfu Chaobo laughed and scolded;
"Hehe, nothing else, just want to congratulate, and cure everyone's red eye disease by the way." Zhao Zilong laughed;
"Thank you brothers, but I was also injured in this battle. Although I got a few counties from Cao Cao, I also lost two counties in Qingzhou."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Zilong said: "Come on, big brother, your trick of cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the cauldron probably made Cao Cao and Ye Lai Xiang want to die. "
"Okay, let's not talk about my side, how about your Bingzhou side?" Huangfu Chaobo smiled and turned to The topic turned to Bingzhou, and asked;
"What else can we do? It's just like that. Lu Bu has withdrawn his troops. Now the two counties have basically entered the regular state. When we have accumulated strength, when you march into Bingzhou, we will give Lu Bu a few blows from behind..."
Looking at Zhao Zilong's wretched face, Huangfu Chaobo said helplessly: "Okay, with your two counties, how much threat can you give to Lu Bu? Do you really think Lu Bu is a vegetarian? Even if Lu Bu is a vegetarian, are Chen Gong and Zhang Liao also vegetarians?"
Zhao Zilong didn't care and talked about his own ideas. According to their discussion, it would take several years for Lu Bu and Huangfu Chaobo to go to war. Their two counties have developed for several years, and their military strength and combat power are definitely not the same as now. At that time, even if it is just a show, it can tie up a lot of energy of Lu Bu's army.
Huangfu Chaobo shook his head and stopped talking about this aspect. With two counties, which were relatively poor, the impact they could have on the army of a state was limited. However, it was difficult to refuse his kindness.
Now the situation of the territory of everyone in Bingzhou can be said to have basically entered the regular state. Since Lu Bu has agreed to their surrender request, there will basically be no small moves in the future. After all, Lu Bu is a believer in strength.
In addition, the Wuyuan and Shuofang counties also gave him a hint, and provided a solution for the other two counties of Xihe and Shangjun in Bingzhou that have not been brought under his control. At present, these two counties are basically under the control of different players. It is estimated that within this year, Lu Bu will take action to solve the problems of these two counties and bring the entire Bingzhou under his control.
Whether it is Huangfu Chaobo, Zhao Zilong or the knights, they all know that after Lv Bu completely controls the entire Bingzhou, the bulk commodity transactions between the two counties of Bingzhou and Huangfu Chaobo have basically been cut off, so this time Zhao Zilong came to Huangfu Chaobo for another reason, hoping to use this time difference to purchase a large number of crossbows and other items from Sizhou.
After disconnecting Zhao Zilong's communication, Huangfu Chaobo also fell into deep thought. Although he is developing rapidly now, the princes around him are not stagnant. Lv Bu is already stepping up his control over Bingzhou, and Yuan Shao has begun to set his sights on Youzhou. Although Cao Cao's territory has been reduced, according to the exchanges with Guo Jia these days, Cao Cao is likely to set his sights on Langya Tuberose. After swallowing up all of Langya, he will have time and energy to take care of himself.
It's just that his own forces have been fighting wars year after year. It can be said that there have been wars almost every year since entering Luoyang. If it weren't for the fact that the four seasons have become more and more distinct in recent years and winter is not very suitable for sending troops, it is estimated that there would be wars all year round. Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but smile bitterly, maybe this is the charm of this game, life goes on, and fighting never stops.
Except for these three vassal states, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou has already begun to go downhill. This time, after he finishes his work at the island base, he will go to Youzhou to see if he can have a good chat with Gongsun Zan and try to save this ally. At least he can still help to delay Yuan Shao. As for whether it can be done, Huangfu Chaobo has no idea, because Gongsun Zan now can't even listen to his two younger brothers, let alone his ally.
In addition to Gongsun Zan, there is also Sun Ce's army. It is estimated that there is no possibility of sending troops in a short time. His foundation is weak. From last year to now, he has added two or three counties, which are almost larger than his original territory. He must have no spare energy to expand outward. And according to Guo Jia's estimation, even if Sun Ce wants to send troops, it is estimated that he will focus on the counties of Jiangdong, especially Yuzhang and Wujun, which must be the first choice of Sun Ce's army.
