Xiong Wuliang led Zhao Hua and took more than a dozen personal troops to Ping'a County.

Once again, the poor Qu Yuan was left alone at home to review government affairs...

If you want to spend a lot of money to build a commercial port, of course Xiong Wuliang has to go to the Huai River to inspect it himself.

"Master, if this commercial port can be built, it will not only help expand the commercial path, but also try to build a ship." Zhao Hua said excitedly.

Xiong Wuliang was not a fool either, and immediately understood Zhao Hua's implication: "What do you mean is to build a navy?"

Zhao Wa nodded and said yes.

Since the Battle of Gaoping, Qi's "Laizhou Navy" has attracted all his attention. If Xiong Wuliang had happened to have built a dam upstream of the Huai River, then Tian Zhen's plan to land in the navy to break Chu would be a stunning victory.

Although Tian Zhen failed, Zhao Hua also realized the wonders of the navy.

Until now, Zhao Hua was still a little scared - if Tian Zhen had not landed from the downstream of [Huaishui] at that time, but had changed to other places... Then the result of the battle between Qi and Chu would have been completely over.

Having said that - Qi and Chu are still not bordering now.

Although the Chu army had withdrawn and the Qi army did not pursue it... But on paper, the two countries did not negotiate peace and are still in a state of war.

In the near future, if the two countries want to attack each other's homeland, besides using Song and Yue, they can only take a short voyage from the sea and land on the attack.

If you use other countries, the risks are even greater. Although Song and Yue are now younger brothers of Chu, who is moral now?

There are many people who stabbed the elder brother in the back.

If Qi and Chu fight again on a large scale, and the Chu army is stabbed in the back by their younger brother, then it is conceivable that it will immediately be a great defeat that shakes the national strength.

And this possibility is not lacking, but rather it is very high!

Look at these two bullshit brothers in Chu State--

King Yan of Song was the famous king of the fallen country in history, King Kang of Song, who was famous for his cruelty and incorruptible and had two sides... The Song Kingdom under his rule was known as "Jie and Song".

King Yue was shocked, and he was also a guy who only talked about interests but not morality. Last year, he relied on flattering Qi and survived from the Quping army of Chu. This year, he joined forces with his former enemy, Chu, to beat up his newly recognized elder brother Qi.

How can there be any morality?

In this case, having a navy that can be in control is of great significance - it can effectively threaten the land of Qi without relying on the allies!

The State of Chu actually had a very powerful navy, and its strength was definitely not weak. Speaking of which, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, there were only four countries with powerful large-scale navy.

Chu! Qi! Wu! Yue!

Now that the Wu Kingdom has long been destroyed, the Yue Kingdom is also a lonely city to survive. Looking at the world, only the navy of Qi and Chu can dominate.

"Although my great Chu has a powerful 'Hanjiang Navy', this navy is not under the control of the king."

"There should be a navy in the fiefdom that can be driven by the lord - at least, we should have the spare energy to withdraw the lord's troops from the sea from Qi to Chu." Zhao Hua said.

Xiong Wuliang understands the meaning of shua-

If Qi and Chu start war again, Chu's army will come to Qi's land. If Song and Yue brothers suddenly turn against each other, they will cut off the Chu army's retreat... If there is a navy in the fiefdom, it can still withdraw Xiong Wuliang's troops from the sea in time, which is also a layer of insurance.

Xiong Wuliang imagined that he was trapped in the territory of Qi and said that he was not effective every day... and he couldn't help but shivered.

King Tian Pijiang of Qi must have hated him to the core!

If it was really the critical moment that Zhao Hua said and Xiong Wuliang was arrested by the Qi people, Tian Pijiang would not have invited himself to have a Zibo barbecue... It was probably because he wanted to kill himself to pay tribute to Tian Zhen and the 150,000 Qi soldiers who died in a foreign land!

I have to say that the proposal of Zuohua is very constructive!

You must not be careless when escaping!

...

The group came straight to the Huai River. Xiong Wuliang looked at the water surface and saw that the two banks were wide, the water was rippling, and the willow branches on the embankment were whispering in the wind.

However, the water level on the west side of the dam is very high, while the water level on the east side of the dam is very low - even the irrigation water in Zhongli County is not enough.

It can be imagined that it is impossible to sail at such a depth of water downstream.

Xiong Wuliang didn't care.

As long as the height of the dam is lowered, it is easy to raise the water level downstream - unfortunately, this will make it impossible to deceive Mi Fei's Zhongli County.

OK!

Anyway, Mi Fei is still inspecting and studying prison environmental engineering in Qin State, and he is not in the fiefdom.

After making up his mind, Xiong Wuliang and his party continued to walk down the [Huaishui] embankment, trying to select a site for Shanggang... but was blocked by a small official wearing light official clothes: "Stop!"

"what for?"

...

Xiong Wuliang looked closely and saw that the little official had a sarcastic face, followed by dozens of great men showing off their power, but they did not look like militia in the fiefdom.

Xiong Wuliang didn't care either.

Nowadays, many Qin spies have been caught in the fiefdom, and the bounty for catching spies has been paid generously.

This led to the entire fiefdom, and a wave of arresting spies by the whole nation... Now is the time when grassroots comrades are enthusiastic and investigate them strictly.

Although he brought more than a dozen personal soldiers of Quyang Army, these soldiers did not wear iron armor on their bodies that could indicate the identity of Quyang Army. Anyway, there were no bandits in the fiefdom. They were so scattered that they could not rush to the road.

It is understandable that it attracted minor officials to investigate.

Xiong Wuliang waved his hand lazily at the accompanying chief of the personal soldiers and commanded the latter to show his identity to the minor official.

Who would have thought that the little official suddenly elongated his tone: "I see you are the detailed work sent by Qin! Isn't it?"

While speaking, dozens of great men behind the minor official surrounded Xiong Wuliang and his group.

Xiong Wuliang was stunned at first, then his eyes narrowed slightly...

These people didn't give themselves the opportunity to explain and justify themselves, so they arbitrarily put on the hat—it was clearly here to find fault.

The little official smiled coldly: "Now the foreigners who come to our Quyang Hou are either merchants or Qin's detailed works - if you are merchants, have you not paid the commercial tax yet?"

...

Zhao Hua understood and leaned into Xiong Wuliang's ear and whispered: "Master, it seems that he is seeking wealth."

Sure enough, the little official suddenly changed into a smile: "If you pay the commercial tax for me now, then you are foreign merchants who abide by the law."

"On the contrary..." The little official's face became cold again, and he was murderous: "You must be the fine work of Qin!"

Xiong Wuliang is happy.

Has the robbery hit me in the head?

I'm afraid you haven't seen it before when I was robbing money from Xiong Wuliang?

By the way, I, Xiong Wuliang, have always been the only one who robs others of the share! When was it time for someone else to rob me?

Xiong Wuliang's personal soldier Shi was furious when he heard the little official's words! Although there were few people accompanying him and he was not wearing armor... But the dozens of people accompanying him were all elite Quyang Army. Even if there were dozens of people behind the little official, he would definitely not be the opponent of the Quyang Army soldiers!

Qu Yang Junshi opened his mouth and was about to scold him loudly...
