Five days passed.

In the past five days, Yelu Dashi has constantly sent Hou Qi detectives to spy on the terrain around the wall, and has drawn a map in his mind: "This place is so tricky! He clapped his hands and said in his heart: "With such a strong pawn to defend, about two thousand people are enough." And if we attack from the front, the place is too narrow, and we have to make a detour from the sea,......" he remembered the sea boats, and shook his head: "The opponent has such sharp weapons on the water, not only can we not make a detour from the water, but we cannot even approach the near sea. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that he had to take advantage of the fact that the opponent's fortifications were not yet completed, and take turns to attack with 20,000 to 30,000 horses in order to pull out this nail.

"Where the hell did these people come from?" He was thinking about it, so he heard a report from his subordinates: "General Xiao is back." ”

Yelu Dashi, who was pondering, heard the news, and was not happy and angry: "Why did you come now!" Rushing out, I saw more than a thousand horses parked in the open space, I was stunned for a moment, and asked Xiao Gan, who came forward to see: "What about the others?" ”

Xiao Gan's face was gloomy: "There is no one else." ”

"What?" Yelu Dashi said angrily: "What is this person worth! You didn't see the knife array? In that kind of terrain, three or two thousand people rushing up can only let them eat a little bit! ”

Xiao Gan said: "Lord Li suggested to Marshal Du, saying that this small problem on the southeast coast should be put aside first, and he also thought that it should not be a major matter in the southeast and northwest for the southeast. ”

Yelu Dashi Qi said: "Lord Li? Which Lee-sama? ”

Xiao Gan said: "Li participates in politics, Li Chuwen!" ”

Yelu Dashi's face sank: "Why is he here!" Also, what did you say about the major events in the northwest just now, and what major events happened in the northwest? ”

"General!" Xiao Gan said in a deep voice: "Yelu Yu saw the treason and led the Jurchens to the east, and Zhongjing has ...... It has been captured by the Jurchens. ”

Yelu Dashi exclaimed: "What about the emperor? ”

Xiao Gan said: "It seems to be stationed in Juyong Pass." Li Xiang's entry into Nanjing, perhaps because the saint intended to visit the Jinfu Mansion. ”

Yelu Dashi groaned: "If the northern line is lost, Daliao will be in danger!" In comparison, this small stronghold by the southeast sea is really insignificant. That's it, I'll go back to Nanjing, where the soldiers and horses are under your command. ”

Xiao Gan asked, "That wall doesn't care about it?" ”

Yelu Dashi groaned: "With these thousands of soldiers and horses now, they can't be helpless at all!" You are so precautionary, while sticking to Wuqing, send spies to find out what the origin of this group of people is! And at the same time they sent men to drive the people, and built another wall along the perimeter of the wall, and encircled them. I don't think this group of people seems to have any intention of making progress, and it would be a blessing if they could rely on this wall to keep them safe for a while. ”

When Yelu Dashi handed over the military power to Xiao Gan, Yang Yingqi also received the news that Zhongjing in Daliao had fallen, and couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "The timing of the fall of Zhongjing is just right!" As soon as Zhongjing falls, the Liao lord will inevitably run south. The war in the north is tight, and he probably doesn't have the heart to take care of our little trouble in the southeast. Okay, so we can calm down and get the dockyard up first! ”

Ouyang Shi said: "How did Da Liao become so unbearable! In short, Zhongjing is also a heavy city. How long has it been since the lord of the country sent his troops, and this has fallen? ”

Cao Guangbi sighed: "You are often in the south, so I don't know how rotten the political situation of Daliao is!" Jeruyu saw the enemy! What a big deal! But it's been more than half a year since this happened, and the Khitan's defense in the northwest hasn't changed much. There are not many generals who can fight in Liao, and the morale of the Northern Route Army is extremely low. Coupled with the fact that the defense is all in our hands, it would be strange if they were undefeated! ”

The three of them talked about the battle on the northern front for a while, and then renegotiated the plan for the development of this new port. Sure enough, a few days passed, and the Khitans did not launch a major attack, but began to build another wall several miles away. Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "They actually used this stupid method to defend us, it seems that they have no intention of taking the initiative to attack." ”

Ouyang Shi asked, "Then do we send people to harass them so that they can't build them?" ”

"Harassment? Why harassment? Yang Yingqi said: "I just hope that they will build that new wall more solidly and reliably." ”

Ouyang Shi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled as well: "Not bad, not bad!" Ha ha! Ha ha! ”

Cao Guangbi said: "It seems that there is no big war here, I have been here for a long time, and it is time to go back to Liaokou." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "It's time for me to go back to Jinmen." ”

Ouyang Shi asked: "You are all gone, who is this Hong Kong ** that has not yet been formed?" ”

"It's you, naturally." Yang Yingqi said: "The situation of Liuqiu has calmed down, and the daily sea affairs are taken care of by Brother Zhenghui, fourth brother, you might as well temporarily set up the base camp here." I found that you have a very good deal with Song Guan. ”

Yang Yingqi's words are right in Ouyang's heart! There was a little reluctance on his face, but he finally agreed. After Cao Guangbi and Yang Yingqi left, Ouyang Shi jumped up and laughed at the port: "This is my world!" ”

His deputy said curiously: "This small port is not an important place, why are the four generals so proud?" ”

Ouyang Shi smiled: "You don't understand! You don't understand! ”

On the one hand, people urge Liaokou, Jinmen, and Liuqiu to step up and double the transportation of materials; On the one hand, he visited the construction site in person and urged the sappers and civilians to increase the repair of the city defense; Every day, he went to the 800 elite soldiers left behind by Cao Guangbi to inspect the cold and ask for warmth -- but the most important thing was to open the smuggling door of the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao.

Things are easy to do here in Cangzhou, Li Yinggu is righteous and awe-inspiring on the surface, but in fact he is full of small abacus! He opened the back door at the instigation of his staff, and because of Luo Xianqi's suggestion to "put a long line to catch a big fish", the exploitation of merchants was also restrained within the range that businessmen could bear. Hearing the news of the opening of Tanggu, I thought of the precedent of Dengzhou, and I was secretly excited. It is ironic to say that in this turbulent era, Cangzhou, which was already lifeless, became active under the leadership of a corrupt official! If a loyal follower had been replaced as a vassal, the merchants would not have been able to gain such freedom.

And although the trade route to the north was separated by a wall, how could thousands of undisciplined troops keep a close eye on this gateway that was more than 20 miles long? Merchants ventured over the wall, dug tunnels in the middle of nowhere, built ships not far from the wall and smuggled into the sea, or simply bribed the guards to swagger in! In a word: these merchants are like ants that smell honey, using all kinds of magical powers to move money and goods from both ends of this wall.

Today's Han Department is no longer the Han Department of the past. When Jinmen opened five years ago, Hanbu was more of a transit place to reap some benefits in the process of cargo circulation. However, today's Hanbu already has a relatively stable economic system internally, and there is even a domestic market for large transactions between Ryukyu and Jinmen. The Han Department not only supplies agricultural products to the entire population of the jurisdiction, but also the handicraft industry is no longer concentrated in luxury goods such as glass, wool textiles in southern Liaoning, cotton textiles in Liuqiu, as well as camellia, sugar, honey, wax, medicine, mountain goods, seafood, etc., are very marketable in the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao.

The result of economic exchanges between regions is usually not a one-way input and output from one party to the other, but the generation of new wealth in the exchange! Under the auspices of Ouyang Shi, this new port named Tanggu by Yang Yingqi not only gradually improved its armaments, but also gradually became the smuggling center of the Great Song Lianghe in the south and the Great Liao Yanyun in the north. Not only the families of Yanyun merchants Zhao Lumin and Liu Jie, who had moved to southern Liaoning, flocked to the city, but also the Song merchants who surfaced because of the rise of Qingyang Port also settled in one after another. Although Li Yinggu opened the back door after reaping huge profits, the wall of Yelu Dashi failed to block the penetration of Han's economic influence.

Soon after Yang Yingqi left, Deng Su came. This scholar Ouyang Shi with a sword is the first time he has seen it. The temperament and personality of the two are not very compatible, but Deng Su is Cao Guangbi's very important to join the army, and Ouyang Shi needs the cooperation of the Liaokou Army to hold Tanggu, so he is polite to Deng Su by three points; And Deng Su also treated the four generals who were on an equal footing with Cao Guangbi. The two of them do their own things, Tanggu, which has just built a port, is just a palm-sized place, but Ouyang Shi lives on the boat, Deng Su lives on the shore, and they never meet except for official business.

After the construction of Tanggu, the Bohai Sea became the "inland sea" of the Han Dynasty in a sense, and the influence of the Han Dynasty in the Yanyun Lianghe region was no longer just a simple espionage, but a comprehensive influence of economic, social, political and military forces. And until this time, there are still very few people who can deeply understand the terrible potential of this "little nail".

Li Yinggu didn't know and didn't care. All he cares about is his bigger and bigger MPF basket. Although he and Wang Gui did not directly see the battle between the Han and the Khitan for Tanggu, they still knew some information from the relays of the Minfu later, and both of them were very shocked by the achievements of the Han Minbu. But Li Yinggu was very glad because of Ouyang Shi's friendly attitude, thinking that having such a powerful force by his side would help Cangzhou's defense! What made him even happier was that Ouyang Shi gave him some Khitan captives, which was a good thing that fell from the sky! He immediately reported that he was victorious, pretending to claim that the Khitan had violated the boundary for no reason, but fortunately, the saint was blessed with Qitian, and there was Tong Taishi from it, and the Cangzhou soldiers were united in their hearts, and they repelled the Liao general Yelu Dashi, beheaded five thousand, and captured hundreds of enemies. On the first table, the Manchu Dynasty congratulated, and the capital was the harbinger of the Northern Expedition. Emperor Daojun and Tong Guan also had a heart to bully Liao, thinking that the destruction of the Liao State was imminent, and Yanyun's old land was within reach.

Although Yang Yingqi asked Deng Su to draft a memo and send it to Huining among the many military memoirs, the memo was too brief, to the effect: "In the winter of the fifth year of Tianfu, a domestic merchant ship drifted to the west coast of the Bohai Sea, which was forced by the Liao. Hundreds of sailors were dispatched to rescue him, and according to the situation, he opened a dock and a water village for trade and disturbing the enemy. ”
