"Mr. Zhou, rice is certainly good, but I wonder if you have any cheaper grains?"

"Cheap food?"

"Yes, rice is good, but many people in Japan can't afford it."

"Oh, I understand. Don't worry, leave it to me."

They just complained about the high price of rice. But Zhou Wu wasn't stupid. Potatoes and corn were cheaper, but Zhou Wu certainly wouldn't sell them to Japan. If these things ended up in their hands, wouldn't that solve their food shortage problem?

Although Zhou Wu cannot guarantee that this thing can be completely eliminated, he will try to delay it as long as possible.

Kenjiro had already planned it out in his mind: he would transport the white rice he traded with Zhou Wu back to Japan, sell it to nobles to make money, and then use the cheap grain to feed his private army.

Yes, Kenjiro, like Zhou Wu, concealed his identity. He was not a simple merchant, but one of the many local warlords in Japan. However, his power was very small. So small that any power in Japan could crush Kenjiro like an ant.

However, Kenshiro was very lucky. When he occupied a barren mountain as his base, he actually discovered a silver mine. In order to develop in a sneaky way, Kenshiro dared not conduct large-scale transactions in Japan, for fear that others would discover his secret.

At this moment, he thought of the powerful Great Dragon Empire, where everything was surely available, and the trade would not be discovered. However, the only way to reach the Great Dragon Empire was by sea, so after many twists and turns, Kenshiro found someone to buy a Bull Demon King.

When Kenshiro first met the Ox-King, his admiration for the Great Dragon Empire grew even stronger. The largest ship in Fusang was nothing more than a little brother in front of the Ox-King.

The tiny ambition in his heart, as small as a lamp wick, began to expand infinitely. Originally, he only wanted to have a place in the chaotic Fusang Kingdom, but when he saw the Bull Demon King, he was no longer willing to be just a small boat adrift. He wanted to make all those who could threaten him disappear from this world.

Once a person has ambition, he will act without restraint. Thinking of the silver mine discovered at the headquarters, Kenjiro felt that this was an opportunity given to him by God.

Therefore, he defied public opinion and personally led a group of people to sea, intending to go to the Great Dragon Empire to purchase all the resources that Fusang lacked in order to strengthen his own power. With money and resources, he could continuously recruit soldiers and horses.

However, once he actually set sail, Kenjiro realized that his idea was too simplistic. Without a route or guidance, he didn't even know if he could reach the Great Dragon Empire. Even if he did, he was unfamiliar with the place and whether he could successfully complete the transaction was uncertain. Just as he was fretting, God appeared again and sent Zhou Sang to him, instantly resolving all his problems.

"Zhou Sang, this is a map of Fusang. Keep it safe. It marks the location of our transaction."

"Okay, little rascal, don't worry, I will definitely find you some food."

"Then please."

Kenjiro bowed deeply to Zhou Wu, who accepted the bow without hesitation, after all, they had done so many inhuman things.

After parting ways with Zhou Wu, Kenjiro did not continue to Da Long, because he did not know what the outcome would be if he went to Da Long. In any case, he had already achieved his goal, so he might as well go back early and guard his own little territory. He must not let his old nest be taken over before he became stronger.

Zhou Wu was surprised and delighted to receive the map of Fusang. More importantly, it also contained a partial map of Gaoli, which, combined with the maps he had explored over the past few days, allowed him to complete the map of Gaoli.

"Sir, shall we continue exploring?"

Looking at the map in her hand, Lin Niangzi not only saw the complete map of Gaoli Kingdom, but also unexpectedly obtained the map of Fusang Kingdom.

"No need, let's head back home."

"Return."

. . . . . . .

"Third brother, I've noticed you're really fast at everything. You got to the meeting point faster than us, and you even finished scouting the terrain ahead of schedule this time."

Lu Da grinned slyly.

"Second brother, efficiency is key in official matters; the higher the efficiency, the better. As for family matters, you're more experienced and will definitely be faster than me, hahaha!"

After Zhou Wu finished speaking, he laughed and ran away.

"Hey, you're asking for it."

By the time Lu Da realized what was happening, Zhou Wu had already run far away.

At this moment, in the central command tent, Gu Changqing was discussing military matters with everyone.

"Zhou Wu is back."

Gu Changqing did not address his fellow soldiers as brothers.

"Reporting to the General, I have fulfilled my mission. This is a naval map of Gaoli Kingdom. I have marked suitable landing sites on it. Please take a look."

Zhou Wu handed the naval map to Gu Changqing, but this one was a new one made after Zhou Wu returned, with the map of Fusang removed and only the map of Gaoli on it.

"Good, good, haha, Zhou Wu, I'll remember this as a great achievement."

Gu Changqing looked at the naval map in his hand and laughed heartily. Then he began to discuss the battle plan with several vanguard generals. This was not something that Zhou Wu, the supply officer, should worry about. He turned and left the central command tent, intending to get some rest first. He had been quite tired these past few days on the ship, where he had been highly focused.

On the third day, the army set off. According to Gu Changqing's plan, the army was divided into three routes: upper, middle, and lower, to launch a frontal attack. Among these three routes, the lower route was the main force, led by Lu Da. In order to confuse the enemy, Gu Changqing's upper and middle routes were only used as feints to attract and disperse the enemy's forces.

The Fourth Route Army will also take Zhou Wu's ships, land from the sea, and head straight for Gaoli Imperial City to strike at its heart.

The plan was good, but when they actually got to the battlefield, they encountered some problems.

The battlefield of the Lower Route Army.

"Damn it, this bastard Gao Li is hiding and won't come out, this is going to be difficult to deal with."

Lu Da has been fighting for two days, but the progress is surprisingly slow. Who would have thought that the buildings in Gaoli Kingdom are small and short, but they are exceptionally sturdy?

"Sir, I have already observed that Gao Li's buildings are all constructed of stone. Although they are not tall, they are exceptionally sturdy."

Although the deputy general noticed something amiss, he couldn't come up with a good solution for the time being.

Moreover, the original plan was that while the main force of the front army was entangled with Gao Li's main force, Zhou Wu would take the opportunity to send the Fourth Route Army to Gao Li's rear. However, the battle did not progress this time, and Zhou Wu did not receive the order to send the army.

"My lord, several days have passed, why is there still no news from the front?"

After waiting for several days, even Madam Lin was getting a little anxious.

"I don't know, but without military orders, we can only wait."

Just when the two were at a loss, people from the front line arrived.
