The prosperity has faded, and Chaoge, shrouded by the cold wind, has faded the prosperity of the past. Lutai, which was once famous all over the world, has long turned into the ashes of history. Among the old farmers working outside the city, there may be the former Shang nobles. That is, the Yellow River in the south of Chaoge is still flowing eastward. From time to time, fishermen carrying boats have fished a few lively Yellow River carp from the river, adding a hint of life to this cold autumn day.

Standing at the head of Chaoge City, he looked at the Yellow River water splitting the road here, heading towards Julu, and entering Yanjing; but he passed through Weijun, Dunqiu, and entered Qijing. Pang Cong felt a little disappointed. He felt like the long river water, and had reached the intersection of life. Unfortunately, he could not choose the direction of life by himself, but was in the hands of Bai Zi, the Qin Kingdom.

Chaoge is now just a region under the rule of Wei State, and its size is not even a county. Looking at the broken and broken old heroic city, Pang Cong felt sad for himself and even shed tears for Wei State. This is already the north of Daliang, next to the capital of Wei State, and the place where the military strategists look at it, but Bai Dong treats it as his back garden as he wants to come. If you want to stay, you will stay. Uncle Pang Juan has already received news of his defeat? I wonder how he would think of himself, a surrendered general. Wang Zishen must regret it now, but it will be useful to regret it. It will take at least half a month to wait for his army to arrive here, and it will be beyond the reach of it!

From the reform of the Wenhou Wuhou, when did the Wei State be bullied like this? Now even the people of Yiqu dared to rush their troops to attack Wei State. The old guy Jungage jumped up and down! Bai Dong rushed his troops from Honggu to Chaoge, but there was no obstacle. There was no soldiers in the northern border of Wei State! The northern army led by Gongzi Ang personally had to fight against Jungage. He was also powerless to take care of it!

The Yellow River is also known as Changhe. The Emperor of Zhou enfeoffed all the princes of the world. All the land, mountains, rivers and rivers were enfeoffed to his sons, nephews and grandsons, but they did not enfeoff the Long River. It was because this river was connected to Kunlun and to the East China Sea, nurturing thousands of creatures. It is actually the mother of China! Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the waters of the Changhe River are shared by the world, and as powerful as Wei State, they dare not block the river. Even if they fight with Qin and Zhao State, there are still merchants and nobles on the long river. However, when these travelers from all countries pass by Chaoge, they will see the black flag of Qin flying at the city wall. Seeing that it was Qin soldiers maintaining order at the wharf, how could Pang Cong, a general of Wei? If he had not been a smart person who knew how to advance and retreat, and was good at forbearance, he should have yelled and died with the Qin people.

Pang Cong is a smart man, so he doesn't do such stupid things. He has to open his eyes and see how Bai Dong sent him and 30,000 martial soldiers to Lao Qin and the Western Regions. When he came to the long river, did he have to transport them by water? How many ships would he need? What a pity! Wei State is called a strong country, but he never cared about the construction of the navy. Otherwise, how could Bai Dong be successful?

Before he finished his thoughts, he saw countless sail shadows rising from the horizontal line like peaks. If a genius boy like Wu Zhuan saw this scene, he would definitely find a way to measure the water surface, light, and the difference between the sails and the horizontal surface to judge the height of the sails and then infer the size of the hull; if Gongzi Shun, a guy from the water bandit, just take a look at what kind of sail was hanging from the boat. He could decide whether to go up to rob or run away in shame. Pang Cong knew nothing about these things, and suddenly saw this cloud-like shadow, he was stunned. Wei State also had a navy, but most of the patrols were in the waters where Chu and Wei intersect, and they could not fly to the long river. However, even if the Wei State navy arrived, it would never be enough to see compared to other people's fleets...

The whole river was boiling. Countless business travelers from all over the country, scholars and nobles passing by were shocked by this huge fleet. There were forty or fifty large ships, each of which was close to the princes of various countries who were qualified to take the seat! There were two stories high and three stories high. The hull had thick copper-skin armor and women's walls, which were simply moving cities! Moreover, the hangers were not the flags of the navy of various countries, but the "white" flags with black background and white flames flowing beside the flow of black! The flags were painted with the pattern of Qin's round money, proving that this was a ship of the merchant, not a warship!

The long river is shared by the world. Wei State is so powerful that he dare not lock the river and block the country. Otherwise, the biggest loss will be itself. However, only the "ritual ships" that communicate with various countries can pass through, otherwise all countries along the way can attack them. These ships are hung with white flags, and there is no other Bai family business in Qin?

In addition to the flag of the Bai Family Trading Company, each ship also has a flag of Qi, which proves that the fleet set out from Qi and has been certified by Qi. With this section, even if it complies with the rules set by the Zhou emperor that day, as for what the fleet is here to do, whether it is traded or passes through Wei, or even bringing tens of thousands of Wei prisoners back, no one will pursue it. Even if the navy of Wei wants to pursue it, it depends on whether the fist is strong enough, otherwise the one who suffers a loss will be his own.

"What a big deal..."

The mystery that had been lingering in his heart for a long time was finally untied, but Pang Cong was shocked and could not speak. He couldn't help but look back at Bai Dong, who was standing not far behind him and was protected by dozens of guards, and felt that this man was simply a devil.

The Bai Family Trading Company has done a big business, and everyone in the world knows this, but they have never heard of such a huge fleet. Obviously, this fleet has been prepared by this man... Looking at the hull getting closer and closer, even the wood color is still new. It can be seen that it was not long after it was launched. Has this man decided that he would be defeated in the battle and built this huge fleet in advance? And it must be calculated on time and location, so that the fleet can come to Chaoge?

How profound calculations does this require, how much financial resources and courage does it require? Is Bai Zi of Qin a fairy god or a devil?

After breathing a long sigh, Pang Cong's mood suddenly became extremely calm. The humiliation of defeat, unwillingness, annoyance, resentment disappeared like the snow under the scorching sun... Losing in the hands of such a person is not a shameful thing, right? Even if the uncle comes to him, it seems difficult to win this person. I am thinking about something. Uncle is the undefeated god of war in Wei State. How could this kid be an opponent!

When the enemy is better than you, it is an opponent who needs to compete; when the enemy is stronger than you, it is an opponent who needs to catch up; but when the enemy is stronger than you, it is an opponent who needs to be caught up with; but when the enemy is stronger than you, it is no longer an opponent, it is an existence that needs to be looked up to. In the past, Pang Cong would have felt this way only when facing his uncle Pang Juan, but now he has a sense of respect and aspiration to Bai Dong without realizing it, but the hatred has faded, and even a lot of curiosity...

What does this person say about the Western Regions look like? As he said, now is the best opportunity for China to integrate foreign races? When there is no difference between Wei and Qin in this major event, the difference between countries is all for China's prosperity. He may not have lie to me, but the battle between the Great Gate will lose, but the Western Regions will make me famous and become a great figure for future generations to look up to by future generations? There is also the Persians who are further west. He said that it was a powerful empire. In the West of Persians, there was a more brilliant civilization. The Chinese were fighting for life and death, and the princes competed for power. In fact, their vision was too narrow. I don't know how vast and beautiful the world is? These are all true. Even my uncle has never told me these things. Should I believe him?

"Son, your father said in the letter that he will give us mother and son the most stable and happy life, and sooner or later we will reunite our family. Do you think your mother should believe him, a big villain?"

On a three-story building boat, Ying Shu hid behind the window, opened a crack with her hand, and pointed to Chaoge's city to speak to the eldest young master of the Bai family who was learning to speak. After not seeing each other for half a year, Ying Shu was a little fatter. When she looked at her son, the arrogant and willful princess of Qin who was always slapping as if she was all mothers in the world, her face was full of maternal love, and her whole body shone with holy light. Even the voice of her speech was very low, as if she was afraid of frightening her son.

Yue Baobao is over one year old, his eyebrows and eyes are beginning to grow, and his facial features are becoming clearer. He already has a few shadows of Bai Dong, but after all, he is too young. In addition to the occasionally "mother" popping out of his mouth, which makes Ying Shu very happy, he is not able to communicate with his mother. However, he follows the mother's fingers and looks at Chaoge. Although the child of this age cannot see so far, he screams excitedly, as if he has seen the closest person. Perhaps this is the natural response between father and son. Yue Baobao now looks at Chaoge more and more likes...

"My mother said that when looking for men, she has to find heroes. Even if the hero is always busy, she doesn't even care about the women around her. Do you think your father is a big hero? Wei State is so powerful, but he is still defeated by him. Now he still wants to send the prisoners of Wei State to our Lao Qin. My mother loves your father more and more. Do the baby loves you?"

Ying Shu became happier and happier the more she spoke, and couldn't help but giggle. She couldn't go back to her parents' home during the Mid-Autumn Festival. She was still resentful, but she didn't expect to receive a letter from Bai Dong soon, and there were thirty-six new giant ships built by the Yue Kingdom Shipyard. This time a fleet escorted her back to her parents' home!

Ying Shu was very curious why Bai Dong used to bring these many ships. Our family is rich, but we can't do it indiscriminately? Bai Dong wrote the whole story in the letter that there will be many prisoners from Wei State and must be taken to Qin State. It is best to travel to the long river. It is fast and safe. You go home first and wait. If you are husband, you will come back to see you and your baby soon.

Ying Shu knew about the Qin and Wei wars, but she couldn't believe that Bai Dong could win so many days in advance, and that she was still taking the prisoners at Chaoge? At this time, the Qin army was still running around in the southern border of Wei. But no matter what, it was good for his husband to brag occasionally. My mother said that a man was willing to brag about a woman, which meant that this man had this woman in his heart.

"It's my man..."

Ying Shu's heart suddenly became extremely soft, and she gently kissed her son's forehead, raised her head toward Chaoge, and saw the man standing under the afterglow of the sunset, as if golden light was shining all over her body, smiling at her.

At this moment, the sunset slowly hidden into the long river, which is the most beautiful scene of the day... (To be continued)
