A large number of ships are connected to each other on the sea level, and when you look around at the sea, you can see flags in the sky, and all kinds of ships are lined up closely, like a fortress sailing on the sea. However, the vast expanse of the sea looked up at the sky, but the endless cape was connected to the sky, and the fleet seemed incomparably small.

The other sailor brothers on the board of the boat were talking and laughing in groups, laughing and scolding loudly from time to time, and they also looked very leisurely. On the contrary, Li Jun, the leader of the eight departments of the navy, stood at the bow of the ship, opened his arms, and stared at the spectacular scene of the sea and sky in the distance facing the sea and the sea, but he felt a lot of emotion.

Among the heroes who are famous for their water proficiency, such as Ruan Sanxiong, Zhang Shun and others were the first to defect to Xiao Tang, and they had been sent to sea several times in the past, so they were no stranger to the magnificent sea scenery. However, although Li Jun is also accustomed to seeing the heroes of the navy with strong winds and waves, he became famous in the Yangtze River, and did private salt trading in the Xunyang River, and then became the leader of the water army in Liangshan, and he was also involved in the rivers.

It is said that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are heavens outside the sky, and I, Li Jun, crisscross the Yangtze River and gather the Xunyang River, and I also rely on my ability to be the leader of the water army in Liangshan's 800 miles of water, but now I am in this vast sea, and now I know that the sky is high and the sea is wide, and I only mix in the rivers, which seems to be insufficient. If one day I can crisscross the world and make a name for myself in overseas states, I will be able to live up to my life's wishes......

When Li Jun was thinking in his heart, Tong Wei and Tong Meng were walking over without a match, and seeing their righteous brother looking at the sea in a daze, Tong Wei smiled and said: "The sea is endless, and even after a few days, the younger brother can't help but admire." When we sailed before, it wasn't that Brother Xiaoqi repeatedly boasted to us, saying what rivers, lakes and seas, and those who can get in and out of the ocean can be regarded as a really good man with good water. But I don't know what my brother thinks? ”

Hearing Tong Wei's question, Li Jun smiled slightly, and then said leisurely: "Two brothers, we first did private salt in Xunyang River, and we also taught the local green forest colleagues who relied on water to meet and respect the three points......

Our brothers worked together in the river, and we also did some great things to make waves, I was just thinking. If one day you and I follow Brother Xiao Tang to open up another mountain and river, and finally be able to enjoy peace, will there be a chance to sail thousands of miles for the country and mountains laid down by me and other brothers, even if we rely on our brothers' ability to crisscross the three rivers and five lakes back then, and do something great again? ”

Tong Wei and Tong Meng were originally very respectful of Li Jun's long-term vision of current affairs, but now they couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard Brother Yi's astonishing words, and Tong Meng immediately said: "Brother Li Jun is so bold!" Xu Guanzhong's military division is well aware of the geography of the world, and the younger brother has also heard him say that the Great Song Dynasty has Dongying, Goryeo, Vaishye (Ryukyu), and Liugui (Kamchatka) to the east, and there are also Jiaozhi, Champong, Luohuguo, Zhenla, Bagan, Srivijaya, Java and other states in the South Seas. ”

Li Jun pondered for a moment, suddenly smiled, and said: "Hehe, I have heard people say before that the sea is wide and the sky is high and the birds can fly, but I thought too far, this is just a wish in the future, or it is important to take care of the big things in front of you." ”

It's just that Li Jun said this, but his eyes still looked at the other side of the cape, and his eyes clearly flashed with high spirits......

.....................

In the fleet that went to Baozhou on this trip, in addition to the military advisers Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong and the Wulu Naval Army, there were also the four armies of Tianxiong, Mad Demon, Rampage, and Fortitude, as well as Deng Yuanjue, Wang Yin, Qiong Demon Nayan, and Aliqi, who must personally inspect Xiao Tang's momentum in overseas military states and three states. Taking advantage of the voyage, Xiao Tang talked with Xiao Jiasui and other confidants about the civil affairs phalanx and military strategies for running the northern base area in the future. At this time today, several of the generals and leaders of the army also gathered in the cabin.

"In the past, when my brother was acting as an official, when he transferred troops and horses in the name of sea trade, even if he ran into the Goryeo navy and the merchant ship documents issued by the city's shipping department, after coming and going, he roughly figured out the situation of the naval patrol in the Yellow Sea near the Goryeo Kingdom. But now that we have openly acted in the future, we will carry a lot of soldiers and horses when we move by sea this time, and we must not be able to hide it, and if we encounter the sailors patrolling the coastal Rongbian on the Goryeo side, we are only afraid that there will be extraneous branches. ”

In the cabin, Xu Guanzhong first spoke, and Han Shizhong smiled beside him, and said: "Goryeo is not as big as Liao and Xia, and the Sprinkle family has fought with that guy a few times before, and it is not a good soldier and horse, although if the guy comes to ask for it, it is not a trick, but the Sprinkler family has been in the north for a long time, and I have heard that before the Jurchen Aguta was founded, he led a few troops and horses to kill Goryeo and lost a lot. Since my brother wants to fight with the Jin Kingdom in the future, he will also fight with Goryeo a few times, and seeing the momentum, Goryeo must go to Baozhou and other places, but he will not fight early or late, but he will fight after all? ”

Xiao Tang also nodded, thinking in his heart that since there was still Goryeo behind the Jin Kingdom, a country that had been established for about two hundred years after all, and its territory was more than 100,000 square kilometers, it was imagined that it would be possible to use this country that had fought with the Jin Kingdom a few years ago, but now it seems that he wants to develop and grow in the Northland, and it seems that it is also a conflict with the interests of the Goryeo Kingdom. After all, the Song and Jin countries are now focused on attacking the Liao State, and during this period, in order to stabilize the situation in the north, the dispute with Goryeo is unavoidable.

The key is, to what extent should this war be fought?

The country of Wang's Goryeo is not comparable to the Li dynasty of the later Ming Dynasty, and its military strength is very resilient, even if it is absolutely not comparable to that of the Song, Liao, and Jin. Although it still can't get rid of the fate of the vassal state, it has also resisted the all-out onslaught of the Liao, Jin, and even the Yuan Dynasty, and has won many victories during the period, and later the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty's war against Goryeo was also fought for 42 years... Although it is best to suffer a short-term defeat to its army, but the situation in the north has changed abruptly, and we don't have the energy to do a protracted wear and tear with those guys......

Thinking in his heart, Xiao Tang said: "Goryeo had a grudge with the Jin State before, but it was not as powerful as the Jin State and had to submit. Its domestic terrain is mountainous, the Liao Dynasty crusaded several times, although the killing of Goryeo surrendered and surrendered, and served Liao Zhengshuo, but there was also the experience of the Liao State leading 100,000 soldiers and horses to invade Goryeo during the Song Tianxi period...... It would be unwise to attack the entire territory of Goryeo with our military strength alone. However, at that time, Goryeo was hostile to the Liao Dynasty and was called the country of Khitan ugliness and beasts, but it attracted the Liao Dynasty to conquer Goryeo and kill him as a minister and pay tribute to him;

Goryeo once despised the Jurchens, and also raised troops to recruit the northern expansion of the territory of the Haoladian Division, but was also defeated and lost by Agu, so he had to send an envoy to surrender. According to my thoughts, the Goryeo Kingdom is more than enough to defend and not enterprising, and sooner or later it is necessary to fight with Goryeo, and it must kill those people in one or two battles, and they are afraid in their dreams, so they only teach them that they did not dare to look north for a while like the Jurchen tribes before, but they can discuss with them again at that time. ”
