After Wang Guibei went to Cangzhou, the men who were waiting for the Han Department released the flying pigeons, and Ouyang Shi broke the waves in a few days. Wang Gui got on the boat and was overjoyed to see the grain and grass, so he wanted to send someone to unload it.

Ouyang Shi said: "Wait! These two big ships are playing at the front, and there are more fleets behind! It's just that you don't have a decent wharf in Cangzhou, but I'm afraid that hundreds of big ships will come up by then, and you won't even have a decent landing place! Moreover, we have so many ships coming, we have to wait, we have to unload food, we can't come today and leave tomorrow, there must be a dock port for us to shelter from the wind and waves! ”

Different from the opening of the southeastern ports, Cangzhou was located at the key point of the Song and Liao countries, and in order to prevent the Khitan, all the facilities conducive to landing were demolished long ago, and various obstacles were even set up in many places to prevent ships from approaching. Therefore, when Wang Gui asked Li Yinggu where there was a good place to land, Li Yinggu couldn't say. In the end, Wang Gui said: "If there is no ready-made good location now, I have to transfer the people to build one!" ”

Li Yinggu frowned and said: "In the past few years, the people of Cangzhou have been very tired, and I am afraid that there will be no money and grain to levy the people's husbands. Besides, opening the port without the permission of the imperial court is probably not in line with the system. ”

Wang Gui said: "Why are you so short-sighted? When the 100,000 stone of grain and grass comes, won't there be money? ”

Ouyang Shi said angrily when he heard this: "My 100,000 stone grain and grass are for the army of Master Tong!" How can you waste it on recruiting people! ”

Wang Gui was blushing by Ouyang Shi's words, and Ouyang Shi finished scolding: "No, no!" I can't just give you this grain and grass for your deeds! We need to wait for Master Tong to come and then hand it over! He asked, "When will your men and horses from the Great Song Northern Expedition come?" ”

"This ......" Wang Gui and Li Yinggu looked at each other, where can they answer?

Ouyang Shi said unhappily: "Hmph! Your officials in the Great Song Dynasty are too unreliable! If I wait here for the arrival of your Northern Expeditionary Division, my grain and grass will rot in the sea! After thinking about it, he said, "That's it! We will also do the things for you at the port, we will pay for the ship, buy some sediment and wood in Cangzhou, build a port and store good grain, and wait for the army of the Northern Expedition to arrive. ”

There is such a good thing in the world! Li Yinggu and Wang Gui are all overjoyed, how can there be anything that they don't agree? It's just that the choice of where to choose the address of the port is quite hesitant.

Ouyang Shi said: "Since you are afraid of the ancestral system, I have an idea!" How about choosing a place on the north bank of the Jiehe River? ”

Li Yinggu exclaimed: "On the north bank of the Jiehe River, there is the Khitan boundary!" ”

Ouyang Shi said: "It is located in the Khitan territory, so that you will not be embarrassed." In the future Northern Expedition, Master Tong will definitely point directly at Yanyun! When he crosses the white ditch of the boundary river, that port will become the rear! It just happens to be a good place to store food! ”

Li Yinggu seemed to think that this idea was too naïve, and said: "It was natural then, but now...... Now it's still the world of the Khitans! ”

Wang Gui also hesitated: "In case it attracts the vigilance of the Khitans and causes a military disaster......

Ouyang Shi sneered: "Why are you people so daring? You're going to attack people, so why are you afraid of causing trouble? The matter of the alliance between our two countries, Da Liao is afraid that he has known it for a long time! Even if the Khitans don't do it this time, our two families will do it too, right? ”

Li Yinggu and Wang Gui glanced at each other, and Wang Gui said, "That's what you said." ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Besides, if there is really a war, we don't need you to send troops to help, whether we can build a port on the north bank of the Jiehe River, we will take this risk ourselves!" You just let our businessmen buy mud and sand in Cangzhou. ”

Li Yinggu and Wang Gui pondered repeatedly, and they both felt that there was nothing bad about this fact: anyway, they were busy with everything, even if the other party had any bad intentions, that port was also outside the Great Song Dynasty, and it was not about the Great Song Dynasty at all, let alone their own business!

Wang Gui thought deeper than Li Yinggu and asked: "If I recover Yanyun in the Great Song Dynasty in the future, then this port ......?"

Ouyang Shi said: "When the two countries settle clearly, we will naturally withdraw immediately!" No two promises! ”

Wang Gui thought about it again and again, and felt that it was impossible to make a mess, so he nodded at Li Yinggu!

After the Song people acquiesced, there were more ships from Jinmen and Liaokou to the coast of Cangzhou. Many ships carrying sappers, horses, and weapons were piled up on a sand island near the sea, and the merchants who came with the ships entered Cangzhou to buy and sell the things used in the construction of the port, and then kept transporting them to the sea, first on small boats, and then transferred to large ships!

These things that happened in Song Realm are not big, but they are not small. If the Nanjing garrison was replaced by a dull point, he might not take it to heart, but Yelu Dashi, who was stationed in Nanjing Road, heard this movement and asked for orders overnight to lead 2,000 cavalry to the south and patrol the northern boundary of Cangzhou.

At this time, there were no fortifications in the north of the Jiehe River, and the Han sappers did not dare to rush ashore when they saw this. And Yelu Dashi lingered for several days, not only did he not retreat, but he actually set up camp not far from the north bank of the Jiehe River and did not leave!

Ouyang Shixin said: "This time, Lao Qi opened his mouth and said that he would open an additional port here, which can be used to communicate with Hebei East Road, and secondly, it can also be used as a base to participate in Yanyun's strategy in the future!" I'm going to use this opportunity to intervene in the center! At that time, he said that it was best to wait for the beginning of spring next year to fully implement it, and I boasted in front of them in order to grab credit, saying that if I went out, ten ports would also be won! Who knew that he would meet a piercing character! If the second child still can't do this before the second manpower arrives, how can I have the face to meet them? ”

If he ordered the Han troops and horses to land forcibly, the sailors under his command might not be able to defeat Yelu Dashi on land, even if they barely won a battle, the Great Liao side would inevitably increase their troops and fight with each other, and the Han Department was afraid that it would be more difficult to build a port in the north of the Jiehe River! If you use all the strength of the Han Army, you may be able to fight with the Khitan army in Yanjing, but in this way, this war is not a small foothold, but it is difficult to stop without falling into Yanjing!

Yang Yingqi's plan this time is to make a quick decision, and end it as a local "small incident" that has nothing to do with the overall situation before the forces in all sides have time to react! If the matter is too big, there will inevitably be people in the Huining Dajin Dynasty who will criticize it, and if it is not good, it will be impeached by an unrestrained and unrestrained army! And the Great Song side must also be vigilant! This is not in line with Yang Yingqi's plan at the beginning!

What should I do?

On this day, Ouyang Shi was thinking hard, and a ship appeared on the sea in the east. The adjutant on Ouyang Shi's boat saw that it was his own ship and let it come closer. Before the two boats were connected, Ouyang Shi saw two people standing on the deck that he didn't want to see!
