Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

Just when Bai Feng was preparing to speed up the harvesting of wood, Wenpin also came to Yecheng, preparing to report the latest information about Yamatai to Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao learned that Wenpin was waiting for his summons, he couldn't help but frown.

This time Wenpin's stay at Yamatai was much shorter than Cao Cao expected.

"Maybe you encountered a problem at Yamatai?"

Cao Cao thought in his mind, and then ordered someone to bring Wenpin to see him.

After Wenpin came to Cao Cao, Cao Cao directly asked:

"Did your trip to Yamatai go well?"

Wenpin was shocked when he heard this.

Cao Cao's tone was quite dissatisfied.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this trip to Yamatai will be fruitful in the end!"

Then Wenpin bit the bullet and said to Cao Cao.

Knowing the number of Yamatai's troops, it shouldn't be a problem to say that the gains were huge, right?

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately became interested.

"What have you gained?"

"Reporting to your majesty, this time I went to Yamatai. The general has learned about the number of troops in Yamatai and their equipment!"

Wenpin remembered the shock in his heart when Yamatai's army passed in front of him.

"Really?"

Cao Cao did not expect that Wenpin would return earlier than he expected this time. He really gained important information on Yamatai. He even found out how many troops there were in Yamatai and their equipment.

"exactly!"

Wenpin nodded and said in a deep voice.

Then he began to tell Cao Cao everything he saw at the Poseidon Festival.

"The ones responsible for sacrificing animals to the Poseidon are the generals of Yamatai. The two men lead an army of no less than 20,000 people!"

"But there are only about a thousand soldiers with iron armor, and most of the rest have leather armor and cloth armor."

"Finally, according to what the people of Yamatai said, one-tenth of them came to Yamatai just two years ago."

After Wenpin told Cao Cao everything he had seen and heard in Yamatai, he stood aside and bowed his head in silence.

After listening to Wenpin's story, Cao Cao's face didn't change much, but he was quite surprised in his heart.

According to Yamatai's previous speculation, the population is between 600,000 and 800,000, and will definitely not reach one million.

But how did Yamatai support an army of more than 20,000 people?

Cao Cao, who had spent his whole life fighting in the north and south, knew very well how much food and grass it would take to support an army of more than 20,000 people.

What a burden it places on the people.

"Are these Yamatai soldiers also involved in farming?"

After a while, Cao Cao asked Wenpin.

Wenpin heard this and replied to Cao Cao:

"There is no definite answer to this point, but according to the stories of the people of Yamatai, most of the soldiers do not participate in farming."

Of course, what the people of Yamatai told was the truth. Under the arrangements of Meng Jie and Li Cunxiao, the 10,000 soldiers were now preparing to start water warfare training. They had no time to participate in farming.

However, the remaining 20,000 improvised Yamatai people still have to participate in farming.

Wenpin's answer automatically became in Cao Cao's ears:

Yamatai has the ability to support a completely out-of-work army!

There is a huge difference in the combat effectiveness of soldiers who are completely off work and those who are recruited during busy farming and war, as well as the amount of food and grass consumed.

"How on earth did Yamatai support such a large army? Is Yamatai more suitable for farming than the land of Wei?"

Cao Cao is now even more eager to obtain the land of Yamatai.

Of course, Cao Cao had no way of knowing that Bai Feng also provided the grain for Yamatai.

After Wenpin heard Cao Cao's question, he had no way to answer it.

Wenpin didn't know much about Yamatai's grain output, and Himihu never mentioned it to him.

However, Wenpin remembered that when Himihu introduced the Poseidon Festival to him, he once mentioned that the main purpose was to let the Poseidon protect Yamatai from suffering too many storms.

The storm will have a great impact on Yamatai's food production.

"Reporting to your majesty, it is difficult for Yamatai to have land that is more suitable for farming than the Great Wei Dynasty. This time the queen of Yamatai held a ceremony to worship the sea god in order to reduce Yamatai's exposure to storms."

Then Wenpin said to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao couldn't help but become more confused after hearing this.

Since Yamatai's food production would be greatly affected by the storm, why maintain such a large number of troops?

Could it be that there are other foreign enemies in Yamatai that need to be defended?

At this time, Cao Cao remembered that Wenpin said that many people came to Yamatai two years ago.

Could it be related to this group of people?

Cao Cao guessed in his heart.

And how did so many people arrive at Yamatai?

Now even Wei's fleet cannot transport tens of thousands of people to Yamatai at one time.

"Have you ever learned about how those people arrived at Yamatai two years ago?"

Then Cao Cao asked Wenpin again.

If this group of people who landed on Yamatai really possess shipbuilding technology that far exceeds that of the Wei Dynasty, then Yamatai must be captured.

For this advanced shipbuilding technology, even if you pay some price, it is completely worth it in Cao Cao's eyes.

"Forehead"

Wenpin couldn't help but look embarrassed after hearing this.

Because the news that this group of people came to Yamatai is really a bit fantasy.

Seeing Wenpin's expression of embarrassment, Cao Cao couldn't help but said:

"Why, you didn't send someone to investigate such important news?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, the general has indeed sent someone to investigate, but the results obtained are somewhat unexpected."

Wenpin heard that Cao Cao was unhappy and immediately spoke out.

"But there's no harm in talking."

Cao Cao said to Wenpin.

So Wenpin organized some conversation and then said to Cao Cao:

"According to several people from Yamatai, these people suddenly appeared in Yamatai two years ago, and Queen Yamatai accepted them directly."

Cao Cao was stunned again when he heard this.

What's happening here?

Suddenly there were tens of thousands more people in Yamatai, and the queen of Yamatai just accepted them?

It doesn’t make sense at all logically!

Of course, Cao Cao would never have imagined that Bai Feng had opened a portal in Nanzhong Ugo Kingdom and sent the people heading to Yamatai directly there.

According to normal people's thinking, it is really difficult to explain.

After a moment of silence, Cao Cao said to Wenpin:

"Yes, I understand."

Next, Cao Cao asked Wenpin about the details of Yamatai's army.
