Yecheng.

The third year of Wude in the Han Dynasty.

It is another spring, and there is a joyful atmosphere inside and outside Yecheng.

The people who have just celebrated the New Year are still immersed in the atmosphere of the festival.

The merchants from south to north make the entire Yecheng full of vitality.

"I didn't expect that in just three years, the entire Yecheng would have been like this."

Just after entering Yecheng, Zhang Tong, the governor of Dongpingzhou, was already shocked by the prosperity and prosperity in front of him.

The last time he came to Yecheng was when he had just moved the capital to come here.

At that time, although there were a lot of people inside and outside the city, most of them were in a hurry to be in the palace and officials, and there were not many vendors or people.

When I saw it today, it was already a prosperous and prosperous scene.

"Zhang Jun is in the border for a long time, and he may not know that it is still the New Year Festival. Many business travelers have returned to their hometowns to celebrate the festival. If it were usual, there would be even more people on the street."

A little eunuch with a bare mouth said.

When Zhang Tong heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved.

This time he went back and forth from Dongpingzhou to Yecheng, he signed Liu Yu's enlistment, saying that there were important things to be given to him in person.

In fact, Zhang Tong understood in his heart that it should be a question about the situation in Dongpingzhou.

He was in Lelang and led two counties for more than ten years. He was highly respected. In addition, after the Murong clan of Liaodong surrendered, a large number of Liaodong clans came to join him.

In Dongpingzhou, Zhang Tong's own clan is already the number one tyrant.

Not only were there a large number of children serving as officials and generals, but they also recruited a large number of soldiers and men-made troops from Fuyu.

In addition, the recent Murong Xianbei has successively conquered the barbarians such as Mahan, Slu, and Zhang Tong's prestige has also increased further.

The so-called "great reward" is not rewarded. Zhang Tong felt that he was recalled to Yecheng, so he wanted to abdicate himself and give in to the wise.

After all, Dongpingzhou is alone in Haidong, and once there is a suitable opportunity, it is very likely to be separatist.

No matter how Zhang Tong thought, he felt that this was the purpose of Liu Yuzhao coming.

Before entering Yecheng, Zhang Tong still complained a little, feeling that his loyalty was ignored.

However, after entering Yecheng, the prosperous scene immediately made Zhang Tong dispel the complaint.

Isn’t it more comfortable to be a rich man in such a peaceful and prosperous place?

Under the leadership of eunuchs, Zhang Tong quickly entered the palace.

"Envoy Zhang, Your Majesty is now discussing the affairs of the government with all the officials, please wait here!"

After Zhang Tong was taken to a study room, a majestic eunuch walked in and said.

"As for your order!"

Zhang Tong thought it was Liu Yu's order and immediately agreed respectfully.

Afterwards, almost everyone left, leaving only Zhang Tong himself in the study.

Without these gazes, Zhang Tong couldn't help but pluck up the courage to start looking at the environment inside the house.

This is a very simple study room. In addition to a large table, there are several wooden shelves containing book slips.

On a wall next to it, a huge white silk cloth hung.

The white silk cloth is painted with curved lines in red and black, and some large and small fonts are marked.

“Huh?”

Zhang Tong's eyes were soon attracted by this strange picture.

He looked around and found that no one was watching, so he got up and looked closer.

I saw red and black lines outlining strange figures.

"Yuzhou?"

"Qingzhou?"

Zhang Tong quickly recognized the small words on it.

This is actually a map of the world!

Not only are there the names of each state and county, but also mark the large and small rivers, mountains and rivers.

Zhang Tong quickly found his Lelang County on it.

"Lelang County, Daefang County, Baekje, Mahan."

Zhang Tong used his fingers to pass through the map one by one.

The layout trend of this map is different from any map Zhang Tong has seen before.

Although it was a bit strange, he quickly found it through.

"Japan?"

"What a big place is actually Japan?"

Zhang Tong's fingers struck Slu, the easternmost end of the Dongpingzhou Peninsula, and after crossing a section of the sea, he pointed to the rumored Japan.

"There must be three or four states!"

In Zhang Tong's impression, Japan in the sea was just a group of thieves occupying sporadic islands.

There may be some so-called gold and silver to form mountains.

After all, there must be many immortal mountain god caves overseas.

However, Zhang Tong really didn't expect that this Japan would be so big.

Not only big, but also very narrow and long.

According to the map, the span of this Japan from west to east is almost equivalent to the distance from Qingzhou to Liangzhou!

"For such a long distance, it is impossible to walk around with Murong Ren's mere 30,000 combat soldiers."

When Zhang Tong was immediately shaken when he thought that after the Murong Xianbei pacified the three Korean barbarians, he wanted to cross the east to attack the Japanese kingdom.

This Japanese country is far beyond all estimates. If there is no strong supporter, I don’t know when it will be fought with Murong Ren’s 30,000 combat soldiers alone.

Zhang Tong looked at the map on the wall. Not only did he look at the more he became more curious, but he became more shocked.

The secret on this map is not only a "little" Japan.

To the west of the Western Regions, there is actually a huge piece of land, almost the size of five or six Central Plains.

From Yizhou to the south, there is another large area equivalent to the size of the Central Plains states.

Even in the sea south of Jiaozhou, there are a large area of ​​huge islands.

"So this is what the world looks like?"

The more Zhang Tong looked at it, the more frightened he felt that his cognition had been shaken for most of his life.

Before he knew it, Zhang Tong was already standing in front of the map motionless.

After Liu Yu entered the study, he saw a wide back staring straight at the wall in a daze.

Seeing this, Liu Zhou immediately smiled slightly.

Because he knew how impactful the "World Island" map on the wall would be for people today.

Just the correct position of the states in the world is already a "abstract school" map that instantly kills most of the "abstract school".

"Haha, I didn't expect that the world would look like this."

Liu Yu walked quietly behind Zhang Tong and said softly.

Zhang Tong's shoulders immediately shook.

"Your Majesty, I'm guilty of death 1"

"Your Majesty is wrong, please punish him!"

Zhang Tong immediately wanted to sue him.

"Okay, I forgive you for not guilty."

Liu Yu stopped him.

He asked Zhang Tong to come to Yecheng not to blame him.

"Zhang Qing has been in the border for a long time. Do you think the marking of Dongpingzhou on this map is quite accurate?" Liu Yu asked.

"Although I have been in Dongping Prefecture for more than ten years, I dare not boast about knowing its terrain." Zhang Tong said very carefully.

This is not because Zhang Tong has any concerns, it is really the case.

Since the Han Dynasty destroyed Korea and set up the four Han counties, although they have not stopped understanding of Dongpingzhou, there has never been a detailed map.

Although Dongpingzhou is too poor, there is no need to spend any effort.
