These days, Lu Ning always thought alone that after locust disasters and plagues all over the world, his strength has been greatly damaged. If the princes want to restore their strength, they should have some time. Now they are unable to expand anymore. Should Lu Ning take this gap to open a Silk Road on the sea? By the way, let’s understand what Rome in the West has developed into. According to records in history books, the Roman Empire should have controlled the Mesopotamia at this time, the north of the country, Mesopotamia in the east, Egypt, northern Sudan and the entire Mediterranean coast of North Africa, and the west of the Atlantic Ocean. If this is the case, Rome is indeed too powerful.

Lu Ning said to Dian Wei: "Ziman, go and have someone call Fengxiao, Tian Feng, Boda, Yuantan, Derong, You'an, Zizhong, and Deheng."

After a while, they all arrived, and Lu Ning personally served them tea. The first person to speak was Sima Lang, and he only heard him say, "Brother, what's the matter with calling us? It's not that it's as simple as just treating us to tea."

After taking a sip of tea, Lu Ning smiled and said, "It's nothing big. I just want to go out for a long trip, so I'll invite you guys to study and seek your support."

When Sima Lang heard that Lu Ning was about to go far, he immediately shouted: "Brother, where are you thinking about going? Last time you went to Jingzhou, something happened. Now you were going out again. That's fine! In the past, you managed a small place, not many people, and few generals and officials under you. You led your troops to fight in person, that's a matter of fate. Now you manage such a large territory, 25 million people, hundreds of thousands of troops, and countless civil and military officials under you. You still run out every day. If something really happens to you, what will happen to these people? What should you do in the entire jurisdiction? Your life and death are closely connected with the people, and we are all closely connected to you, and you can't run out any further."

After hearing this, Lu Ning laughed loudly and said to them: "The fifth brother said so seriously. You all do all the work in our jurisdiction, and I didn't do anything. Is it the same as Wu I? Even if something really happens to me, there will be no problem in the jurisdiction we manage. Isn't this the same thing? Isn't it that you are all there? That's because of me alone, it doesn't make sense."

After hearing this, Zhang said, "Master, what Boda said is right. If you are here, we all have a backbone and a backer, and have confidence in doing everything. The people in the jurisdiction cannot be without you. Now more than 80% of the people in the jurisdiction have their lord's longevity signs at home, and you are like their reborn parents. So I don't agree with the lord's trip. Even if you want to go out, you can only walk nearby, and the arrangement of guarantee measures must be strengthened."

Guo Jia glanced at Lu Ning and knew that once Lu Ning decided, it would be difficult to change under normal circumstances. It would be better to understand the following purpose first. "Lord, where are you going?"

Lu Ning glanced at them and saw that everyone wanted to know, so he smiled and said, "Didn't Zhang Qian open up a Silk Road during the reign of Emperor Wu? I also want to open up a Silk Road again."

After Lu Ning finished speaking, he immediately felt like a bomb was thrown among them. Someone would agree, and there was all opposition. Sima Lang said: "Brother, you must not do it. Zhang Qian went on a mission to the Western Regions for more than ten years, and basically no one who went with him came back. Zhang Qian also escaped from the clutches of the Huns and died for the rest of his life."

Tian Feng looked at Lu Ning and said, "Lord, it is very dangerous to open up the Silk Road, and I don't know when it will take a turn. You can do this in person and arrange for others to open it up. The lord cannot take risks. Now your life no longer belongs to the lord, but to all the people in the jurisdiction. I personally disagree with the lord's move."

Everyone was quarreling, and no one agreed with Lu Ning's idea. Even Guan Ning said to Lu Ning: "Ziyi, it is indeed inappropriate for you to open up any Silk Road. Now the war in the northeast is still in full swing, and the war in the far north has not ended. The surrounding princes are eyeing each other and wanting to make up the ideas of our jurisdiction. If you are not here, that's fine. If you are not here, the situation is completely different. If you are not here, you will do nothing. As long as you are at home, the other princes will not dare to move easily, and the civil and military officials under your command will also feel at ease."

Lu Ning was drinking tea and listening to them quarreling. It was not until Guan Ning finished speaking that Lu Ning said slowly: "Master, you all have unnecessary worries. The war in the northeast should end next year. The war in the far north is probably still two or three years, but there will be no tough resistance. There are Wenyuan stationed in Lujiang, so there will be no problems in our jurisdiction. Besides, after the locust disaster and plague, the princes still have the strength to expand. Cao Cao was entangled by Lu Bu and was unable to attack us; Li Kui of Chang'an

Guo Si and his two have problems protecting themselves, and what strength do they have to attack us? Ma Teng and Han Sui from Xiliang will not attack our Beidi and Shuofang. If they have the ability, they must have attacked Chang'an. If we attacked us, it would be like picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons. The one with a little problem is Lujiang, but Wen Yuan is there, he can bear it. And Zhang Ji from Hongnong, he dare not start a war against us easily. Besides, there are 70,000 troops in our Jinyang City to be used as mobile troops, which is not a vegetarian."

Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "Lord, you haven't said where you went yet?"

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Zhang Qian has opened up the Silk Road on the land. I am going to open a Silk Road on the sea. I originally planned to go to Daqin, but considering that you may not agree, I just want to go to the Anxi area first and learn about the situation in the Anxi area. In addition, Anxi is also very close to the controlled area of ​​Daqin, so I should also understand the situation in the Daqin. This is necessary for our Han people. After all, Daqin is really too powerful now. If we don't know what we know, we will suffer sooner or later. For the safety of our Han people, I will have to go there no matter how dangerous it is. This is our mission and our responsibility."

When Mi Zhu heard this, he said, "Good, go to Daqin, what a joke, it's tens of thousands of miles away. "Lord, Daqin is tens of thousands of miles away from our Han, and it's extremely dangerous to walk on the water. Even if you go to the Anxi area, it's very dangerous. Our Han's merchant ships can usually only reach Dishi. Not only are there a large number of pirates behind Dishi, but they have to withstand the impact of huge waves. Generally, few people go behind Dishi. The crew of my family said that it's tens of thousands of miles away, and the ship is even more thrilling to drive in the sea. In the past, there were also sea merchants who took risks to Axi, but basically they went without returning. The lord is going to take risks in person now. I'm afraid this is inappropriate, please think twice."
