    "Xiaozhi, do you know how big this world is?" Liu Cong suddenly asked, looking at the green mountains and rolling rivers on both sides of the bank.

    "The Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty extend from the sea to the east, the Western Regions to the west, the Xiongnu Desert to the north, and South Vietnam to the south. They have a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles and a vast territory." Fazheng has read a lot of books since he was a child, and he comes from a famous family, so he has extraordinary knowledge.  .

    "What Xiaozhi said is that it's just the big man, but it's not the whole world." Liu Cong smiled, "Besides the big man, what other places are there?"

    "North of Liaodong are Sanhan, Baekje, etc. It is said that there is Yizhou in the East China Sea. To the south, there is the Mauryan Dynasty. To the west of Yumen Pass, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions and heard that there are more than a dozen countries.  As for the north, Su Wu once herded sheep in Beihai."

    "As expected, Xiaozhi has far-reaching knowledge, but the world is so big and so much more!"

    "I am willing to listen to my lord's advice!"

    "In addition to the three Koreas of Mahan, Chenhan, and Benhan in the east, there are Goguryeo, Fuyu, and Yilou, and on the sea to the east of Yizhou, there is also the Japanese state. In the north, besides Karasuma, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Qianghu  In addition, there is a large and vast land. In the west, in addition to Ershi, Dayuan, Qiongbi, Yelang, Tubo and other small countries in the Western Regions, there are also Persia and Great Qin. Among them, Great Qin is also a powerful empire, not comparable to our Han Dynasty  Up and down. In the south, it reaches the sea, and there are many island countries on the sea."

    "So big?" Fazheng looked very shocked after hearing this, "Is that Da Qin really as big as our Han Dynasty?"

    "Yes!" Liu Cong nodded. At this time, the Roman Empire was prosperous, and its territory was no less than that of the Han Dynasty. "And it's not just that, this is just the land adjacent to my Han Dynasty!"

    "What about the others?"

    "The others are all on the other side of the sea. Only with a strong navy can we get there and conquer it!"

    "Navy?" Fazheng was confused. He had obviously never heard of the word navy.

    "The navy is the soldiers and horses that can gallop on the sea, which is several times more powerful than the navy. Of course, if you want to gallop on the sea, you must have warships suitable for sailing on the sea!"

    "Lord, then we can we build a navy?" Fazheng looked yearning again at this time.

    "It's not possible now, but it will be possible in the future!" Liu Cong knew that the current handicraft industry could not reach the level of building armored warships, but the ships used by Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty to sail to the West could be built.

    "My lord's ambition" Fa Zheng looked at Liu Cong and said.

    "Of course we are fighting for hegemony over the world!" Liu Cong stood up, "Cao Cao and Sun Quan are fighting for hegemony over the world with me, but the world in their hearts is not the world at all in my eyes! My world is the whole world!"

    "My lord has great ambitions and ambitions that no one in the world can match!" Fazheng looked excited, "I am willing to ride all over the world for my lord!"

    "With filial piety and the help of all the great talents and sages, unification of the world will definitely come true!" Liu Cong was also so heroic.

    "My lord, we are going down the river so fast. I think we can reach Jiangling in the dark!" Liu Hu came over at this time and said happily.

    "The White Emperor bids farewell to the colorful clouds. A thousand miles of rivers and mountains are returned in a day. The apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains." Liu Cong recited Li Bai's "Early Departure from Baidi City".

    "My lord, what a poem!" Fazheng was pleasantly surprised when he heard Liu Cong reciting it.  In the past, Fazheng was not good at poetry, nor did he like poetry very much.  But since I followed Liu Cong, I have been influenced by Liu Cong and gradually discovered the charm of poetry and prose. "The White Emperor is sent to the morning, and Jiangling is reached at dusk. The ape whistles, the light boat flies, and the Lord's twenty-odd words,  Even Qu Song could not do as well as portraying this situation, scene and meaning completely!"

    In the spacious cabin, three women, including Wu Ran, Wang Jue, and Ma Yunlu, all showed admiration in their eyes when they heard the poem recited by Liu Cong.  Especially Wang Jue, she hurriedly wrote down the poem.  Wang Jue likes poetry, and her brother Wang Lian likes it even more, especially the poems of the lord Liu Cong. Wang Lian told his sister that if the lord composed a poem, she must write it down.

    White Horse City.

    Since Zhao Yun led his army to leave, Xia Houlan has not relaxed for a moment.  For the entire Yanzhou, Baima is a strategic location. There used to be 15,000 troops stationed there, and Zhao Yun was the commander-in-chief. Xiahou Lan just followed Zhao Yun's instructions.

    But now, he is in charge of Baima City, and there are only five thousand troops left.  Xia Houlan had thought before that he could stand alone, but now he finally had the chance. In addition to being excited, he was still very nervous.

    Throughout the day, he was checking the defense situation at the top of the city. The equipment for defending the city was fully prepared, and all the war horses were placed in safe places.  And he had told the groomsmen that if the city was breached,So he let all the horses run away. The old horses knew the way. They would flee to Yuzhou in panic, and they must not leave the horses with Cao Cao.

    At the same time, he sent many scouts to closely inquire about Guandu and Yanjin.

    Xiahoulan had been paying attention to the battle between Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao. It was not until Cao Jun's 20,000 cavalry were wiped out and Zhao Yun led his army to Yanjin that Xiahoulan breathed a sigh of relief.

    In the evening, after he made another inspection, he found that people did not take off their armor and slept in their clothes.  Just in the middle of the night, I was woken up by the guards. The scouts sent out came back with something important to report.

    Xiahou Lan quickly got up and summoned the scouts to the camp.

    "General, Wenpin leads an army of 40,000, with Cao Chun and Zhang Hu as the vanguard, and quietly comes towards Baima under the cover of night!"

    "What, 40,000 troops?" When Xiahoulan heard about the 40,000 troops, he was shocked. There were only 5,000 defenders in Baima City!  Cao Cao didn't have many troops in Guandu, but he actually sent 40,000 troops here, which shows that he was determined to win!  "Where are you now?"

    "Cao Chun and Zhang Hu's 10,000 vanguard army are less than fifty miles away from Baima. It is estimated that they will reach outside the city after dawn!"

    "Go and investigate again, and report back as soon as possible if there is anything!" Xia Houlan said as much as possible to calm down.

    "No!"

    After the scout left, Xia Houlan paced back and forth in the camp.

    Cao Jun left Guandu at night, and could reach the outside of Baima City at dawn, which is enough to show that their marching speed was not slow.

    After the 10,000 vanguard army arrived outside the city, they must be very tired.  If at this time, I led three thousand cavalry to charge, I would definitely win a complete victory.

    But Xia Houlan also thought that Wenpin still had 30,000 troops. If he was surrounded by Wenpin's army when he was charging, it would be very dangerous. If 3,000 troops died in the battle, how could Baima City be defended?

    But will Wenpin really arrive so quickly?  If he couldn't make it within an hour, wouldn't he have lost such an opportunity in vain?

    Xia Houlan was very conflicted in his heart. If Zhao Yun was here, he would definitely attack. However, he thought about it and finally gave up the idea. He did not dare to take this risk, so he should defend the city!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
