Gurun Prefecture, located in the territory of present-day Qinhuangdao City, is one of the main roads connecting Nanjing Road and Zhongjing Road of the Khitan people.

Just talking about the population of Runzhou, as well as the logistical reserves, it is actually not very rich. But the problem is that in the coastal areas near Runzhou, there are quite a lot of fishermen who make a living from fishing.

Where there are fishermen, there must be boats. Li Zhongyi dared to go deep into the tiger's den of the Khitan, relying not only on the brave Yulin right guard, but also on the Great Zhou Sailor led by Zhou Daozhong.

Li Zhongyi always remembered that in the late Ming Dynasty, Mao Wenlong, Mao Dashuai, and the Ming army of Dongjiang Town, led by Mao Wenlong, were able to defeat and fight repeatedly, but they always threatened the hinterland of Houjin, and the core magic weapon was to occupy the "Phi Island".

Phi Island, located in the east of the Yalu River estuary, is located in the west of the Yalu River estuary, also known as the Dongjiang River.

Mao Wenlong's sphere of influence is between Liaodong, North Korea and Houjin, and the sea surface of the north coast of Phi Island is 80 miles to Houjinjie, and its northeast sea is North Korea, which is related to the three parties, and the location is urgent.

According to the information obtained from the interrogation of Yelu'an, there are two islands, one large and one small, within the boundary of Qianzhou to the east of Runzhou.

Among them, Oshima said: Chrysanthemum Island; The island is called: Xiaohaishan Island.

Although Yuguan is rushed, the terrain is extremely dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, because Yuguan was located in the hinterland of the Khitan Kingdom, it did not receive much attention.

So much so that after Li Zhongyi's seized baggage materials in Yuguan were piled up in the warehouse, they could only be placed on the street indiscriminately.

Li Zhongyi's army marching north, plus the officers and soldiers of the naval division in Zhou Daozhong, as well as the temporarily requisitioned boatmen and others, exceeded at least 35,000 people.

So many people need to eat, and. With so many war horses needing fodder, they naturally need one that is not threatened by the Khitans. Solid logistics base.

In this way, the small seamount island and the chrysanthemum island. Naturally, he jumped into Li Zhongyi's sight.

In terms of geographical location, although Xiaohaishan Island is not large, it is closer to Runzhou and Yuguan, which is an ideal transit base.

Since Li Zhongyi has set his sights on Xiaohaishan Island and Chrysanthemum Island, the many fishermen and fishing boats living on the coast of Runzhou have become his must-take.

After the senators of the Senate Department finished arguing and reached an agreement, Li Zhongyi was from Yang Lie's hands. Took over a detailed battle plan.

"Bai Xing, if a Khitan fisherman sails a boat to the shore and escapes into the vast sea, how should he deal with it?" Li Zhongyi grasped the weakness of Yang Lie's ignorance of naval warfare, chased after him fiercely, and never showed mercy.

Yang Lie put away the folding fan, arched his hand and said, "This requires the close cooperation of the sailors commanded by Zhou Du?" ”

Li Zhongyi glanced at Yang Lie lightly, and said coldly: "On the huge sea." Don't you think it's half the effort to hunt down light and nimble fishing boats? ”

Yang Lie pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "We are not old and occupy Runzhou. Just raid in the middle of the night and gather the fishing boats on the beach. Burning a large part of it so that it does not have the ability to carry a large number of troops across the sea is a good thing. ”

"Just burning the ship?" Li Zhongyi was too familiar with Yang Lie's temper. He stared at Yang Lie's face with a smile, wanting to see what kind of spear he was playing?

"If the student is not mistaken. Teacher, you say: the winner cannot be blamed. Yang Lie really played a big trick, not only avoiding Li Zhongyi's ridicule. was more defensive and attacked, and took Li Zhongyi's army.

One will be a success!

Although Li Zhongyi governed the army with many regulations, he always grasped two basic elements unswervingly: mercy and not being in charge of the army and binding interests.

Military discipline must be strict, and the gains after victory must also be shared by officers and men.

Although Li Zhongyi and Yang Lie did not say anything, in fact, the senators knew in their hearts that the raid on Runzhou after dark was likely to be heavy-handed.

After it was all dark, the northbound army, which had eaten the war meal in advance, quietly drove out of Yuguan and went straight to the Runzhou beach in the east.

Because the main goal of this operation was to capture or burn the fishing boats in Runzhou, Li Zhongyi also brought the unusable flying dragon cavalry out of Yuguan.

When the army marched into the territory of Haiyang County, Li Zhongyi and Yang Lie parted ways, and he led the main force of 2,000 flying dragoons and 6,000 Yulin Right Guards to Runzhou City.

Yang Lie led the 3,000 party cavalry and the 3,000 flying dragoons under Gao Xiaode to speed up to the seaside of Runzhou.

When it was nearly three watches, Yang Lie led a large cavalry army wrapped in the horse's hooves and spread out in a fan shape, firmly encircling several coastal villages where fishermen gathered the most.

Before the battle, Yang Lie summoned Po Chaoyong and Gao Xiaode to his side.

As soon as a few people met, Yang Lie said straight to the point: "The two generals, the military orders of the prime minister, are they all clear?" ”

Gao Xiaode now admires Li Zhongyi to the extreme, once upon a time, the Han army of the Great Zhou Dynasty could actually enter the hinterland of the Khitans? And, also captured the dangerous Yuguan?

That's it, Gao Xiaode, as the confidant of Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, naturally knows the power of the Khitan iron horse.

For nearly 100 years, the Khitan people, who have become increasingly powerful, are almost overwhelming the feudal towns in the north.

To put it bluntly, due to the fear that the Khitan Iron Cavalry would go south and annex the Daimyo's Mansion, even at the beginning of Taizu Guo Wei's ascension to the throne, the Fu family and some nobles of the Khitan had always had ulterior trade relations in private.

Until, after the Battle of Gaoping, Chai Rong drove his own expedition and defeated the army of the Liu family of the Northern Han Dynasty, and at the same time scared away the iron cavalry of the Khitans.

Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, because of his son-in-law and grandson, secretly executed the Khitan faction's liaison in the Fu family.

After the Khitan envoy was killed, most of Fu Yanqing's insiders, except for Gao Xiaode, all accompanied the funeral.

It can be seen from this that Wei King Fu Yanqing's trust in Gao Xiaode?

From Gao Xiaode's standpoint, in fact, he can completely understand the hardships of the various feudal towns located in the north, in order to preserve their military strength, and secretly communicate with the Khitans.

The most important thing for the warlords is the territory and the army, and the answer to the question of what choice should be made between actual interests and national feelings is self-evident.

"The last general is driven by the participation of the general." Gao Xiaode was not very convinced by Yang Lie in his heart, but because he was very jealous of Li Zhongyi, he was perfunctory on the surface.

quite Chaoyong had already made up his mind, he had to hug Li Zhongyi's thighs and sit together to enjoy the glory and wealth.

Therefore, in the face of Yang Lie's question, quite Chaoyong clasped his fists without hesitation and said: "As long as the old man gives an order, the general will dare to do anything." ”

"Hehe, quite a super brother, that's what you're waiting for." Yang Lie finished praising the party barbarian who was quite super brave, and stared at Gao Xiaode intently.

Gao Xiaode thought that Yang Lie was holding Li Zhongyi's secret order and deliberately wanted to test his determination, so he also followed behind Quite Chaoyong and patted his chest, "Say, what to do, you have an idea." (To be continued......)
