Chapter 1327 The Third Trade

While Bai Feng was dealing with Hanzhong affairs, Navy General Wenpin once again led the fleet to Yamatai.

There had been a lot of rumors in Yecheng that whoever Cao Zhi or Cao Pi could capture Yamatai would be canonized as the crown prince. Naturally, Wenpin had heard about it a long time ago.

Sima Yi and Yang Xiu also came to contact Wenpin.

The meaning conveyed is that if you, Wenpin, can do your best to help Cao Pi (Cao Zhi) capture Yamatai, then this is the merit of Conglong.

In the future, whether you are a high-ranking official or a rich salary, you will be able to get it at your fingertips.

Wenpin felt very happy after meeting Sima Yi and Yang Xiu.

He himself did not need to choose between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi. As long as one of them led the Wei navy to fight against Yamatai, he could help win the battle.

At this time, Wenpin already wanted Cao Cao to issue an edict to attack Yamatai earlier. He couldn't wait any longer.

However, Cao Cao's plan did not change, and he still asked Wenpin to collect more information about Yamatai while trading with him.

In addition to iron ore, the goods Cao Cao provided to Wenpin this time also included cloth, grain, salt, as well as various gems and gold and silver ornaments.

Just by selling iron ore to Yamatai, apart from being able to come into contact with Himihu, there are relatively few other people.

After all, when it comes to buying and selling iron ore, it was only later that Himihu had the power to trade with Dawei.

Cao Cao added more trading products in order to contact more Yamatai officials besides Himihu. It would be best if he could buy a few internal agents with gold and silver.

After Wenpin received this mission from Cao Cao, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was even heavier.

He still prefers to use force to solve the problem of Yamatai.

However, after arriving at Yamatai, Wenpin still had to follow Cao Cao's instructions and try to get more information about Yamatai.

This time, the Wei naval fleet led by Wenpin was discovered by the soldiers of Yamatai who were on guard at the port before it even approached the port of Yamatai.

This was part of the response measures taken by Himihu, Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie after they learned from Bai Feng that the Wei Dynasty might launch an attack on Yamatai.

The first is that Yamatai cannot be caught off guard by Wei's navy.

Now not only the various ports of Yamatai have built outposts to observe the maritime situation.

Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie also arranged for soldiers to stand guard at other locations where large ships could be anchored.

To be honest, Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie felt eager to give it a try after hearing Bai Feng say that the Wei Dynasty might launch an attack on Yamatai in the future.

The two people who followed Bai Feng witnessed Bai Feng's undefeated myth.

They believed that even if the Wei navy came to attack Yamatai, under Bai Feng's personal command, Yamatai would still be able to defeat it.

It's just that Bai Feng is still the Hanzhong Marquis of the Wei Dynasty, and he has not broken up with Cao Cao.

Therefore, unless Yamatai reaches a very critical moment, Bai Feng will not directly confront Wei.

After receiving reports from the soldiers that the Wei fleet appeared again, Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie went to the palace together.

At this time, Himihu had just learned the news.

"The purpose of the Wei Dynasty's visit to Yamatai this time is probably to conduct trade."

Li Cunxiao said to Beimihu.

This is judged based on the information provided by the soldiers on guard.

"Yes, but we also have to guard against the generals of the Wei Navy and Wenpin from gaining the true combat power of our army."

Beimihu nodded and said to Li Cunxiao.

Only by making Wei dare not attack Yamatai easily can Yamatai have more development history.

Whether it is the construction of treasure ships or the training of navy masters, it takes a lot of time.

"How about we have a military parade?"

Meng Jie said to Beimihu and Li Cunxiao at this time.

"parade?"

After hearing this, Beimihu and Li Cunxiao couldn't help but ask Meng Jie.

Meng Jie originally thought that the two of them had heard about the military parade from Bai Feng. After seeing the confused expressions on the faces of Bei Mihu and Li Cunxiao, Meng Jie began to explain to them:

"The military parade is something I heard the Hanzhong Marquis mention before."

"Just pull out all our troops, practice them, and let others see our true strength."

"Since we want Wei to not easily send troops to us, we should use a military parade to show the strength of our Yamatai."

"And you can also let some common people wear armor and act as nobles during military parades!"

After Meng Jie explained the form and function of the military parade, both Beimihu and Li Cunxiao's eyes lit up.

"That's a good idea!"

“It’s very doable and doesn’t require much preparation time!”

Later, both Beimihu and Li Cunxiao agreed with Meng Jie's proposal.

"Okay! Then we will hold a grand military parade to let the Wei Dynasty know that Yamatai is not easy to mess with even without the Hanzhong Marquis guarding it!"

Meng Jie said excitedly after hearing this.

Then Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie began to make arrangements for the agreement.

Himihu was going to meet Wenpin to keep the Wei navy fleet for a few more days in order to prepare Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie for the military parade.

Under the secret surveillance of the Yamatai sentries, the Wei naval fleet led by naval general Wenpin finally approached the port and prepared to dock.

After confirming that the Wei navy was still coming to trade with Yamatai, Himiko gave orders to help the Wei navy dock.

Wen Pin, with two guards, came to the Yamatai Palace again.

For Wen Pin, the feeling of coming to the Yamatai Palace this time was very different from the first time.

The first time he came to the Yamatai Palace and received Himiko's hospitality, Wen Pin felt like he had survived a disaster.

This time, he felt like half the master.

In Wen Pin's eyes, since Cao Cao wanted to capture Yamatai, it was only a matter of time before Yamatai became part of Wei.

"Meet the Queen!"

After seeing Himiko, Wen Pin still did not lose his manners.

"Long time no see, General Wen."

"Thanks to General Wen, the people of Yamatai can now use iron pots."

"I wonder how much iron ore you brought this time?"

Himiko smiled at Wen Pin, but was secretly on guard in her heart.

"This time we have not only iron ore, but also grain, salt, spices, gold and silver jewelry and other commodities."

"His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to trade with Yamatai, so he hopes that we can have more exchanges in trade."

Wen Pin smiled at Himiko after hearing this.

More exchanges will provide more channels to understand the situation of Yamatai.
