Licheng Port.

A port that no longer exists in later generations for various reasons.

But in this era, it was a hub for land and water transportation, and it was also a metropolis where merchants gathered, and Goryeo's foreign trade began from this.

The Goryeo royal clan, that is, the family of Wang Jian who established Goryeo, is the Yeesung Hong Kong clan.

Wang Jian's grandparents were originally big merchants who relied on trade, but gradually grew into a powerful force in Kaesong, and his father Wang Long later took control of Kaesong and used it as a stronghold, and took him with him to join the Gong descendants.

Since then, Wang Jian has become the right-hand man of the Gong descendants.

A few years later, the officers of the Gong descendants rebelled, and Wang Jian's henchmen Hong Ru, Bae Xuanqing, Shin Chongqian, and Park Jiqian expelled the Gong descendants and embraced Wang Jian as king (the Gong descendants were killed on the way out).

Wang Jian's country name is Goryeo, and the year name is Tianzhu.

At this point, the situation of the three countries after the peninsula was officially formed.

Later, after more than ten years of war, Wang Jian destroyed Baekje and Silla successively and unified the peninsula.

……

Suddenly!

The defenders of Licheng Harbor found a fleet coming in the distance!

If you look closely, it seems to be a small part of the huge fleet that went to recover Tamna County.

The fleet came from far and near, and soon approached the port of Reesung.

The defenders did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked the inspection officer to drive a small boat forward to inquire.

After a short time, the small boat came to the side of the larger boat, and the large boat lowered its rope to allow the inspector to board the ship, as is customary.

After the inspector got on the ship, he looked around and put his heart down, this was indeed a Goryeo ship, and he saw several familiar faces on the ship.

However, if you should ask, the inspection officer still has to ask, "General, have you recovered Tamna County?" ”

The general who answered smiled and said, "Can I send 60,000 troops from Goryeo to recover the small Tamna County?" However, the Song army was also tenacious, and held on for five or six days, and then Deputy Marshal Wu secretly Chen Cang personally led 5,000 Baosheng from Lishui to attack the city on the island, forcing the Song army to have to return to defense, and the marshal took the opportunity to lead us to land and kill the city on the island, and the deputy marshal converged together under the city to capture the city built by the Song people in a war, and we came back this time to offer prisoners and report victory! ”

After hearing this, the verification officials were enthusiastic and said, "Senior General Wu really deserves to be a general who has fought with the powerful Jurchens for six years!" ”

However, despite the enthusiasm boiling, the conscientious inspector still asked: "How many of you have returned?" ”

The general said: "Seven collars, two collars are brave, and five collars are victorious." ”

The inspector asked, "Why are there so many people?" ”

The general said: "The main responsibility of our left and right guards is to defend Kaijing, and fighting is only a secondary task...... Not only will we be left and right, but it won't be long before Xingweiwei will also be withdrawn. ”

When the inspector heard this, he felt justified and inquired no longer about the matter.

Suddenly, he saw a general with a length of nine feet and a waist of eight girths on a ship not far away, and the inspection official was stunned and said, "When did I have such a majestic general in Goryeo?" ”

The general said: "That's General Sun, he has made great contributions in this battle, and it is estimated that it will not be long before he will be promoted to general." ”

The inspection officer glanced at the extraordinary-looking General Sun again, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the general in front of him and asked, "Haven't asked for advice yet?" ”

The general smiled: "My surname is Cao, my name is Zhengsheng, and I am the Zhonglang general of the three collars of the left and right guards." ”

That's right.

This General Cao Zhengsheng is Cao Zheng, who collected grain from Chief Su a year ago.

Under Cao Zheng's protection, Chief Su purchased more than 21 million stone of grain for Shuibo Liangshan.

Later, the drought caused the price of grain to rise all the way, and now it has doubled.

But even so, Li Yan still asked Chief Su to collect grain for Shuibo Liangshan, regardless of the price of grain, and there was no upper limit.

However, although Li Yan's conditions were generous, in the general environment of food shortage, the grain that Chief Su could receive was still very limited - at most two or three hundred thousand stone a month.

In this case, if Cao Zheng is still allowed to protect Chief Su, it will be a bit overkill.

Therefore, Li Yan picked two small heads and replaced Cao Zheng back.

It just so happened that the dragon slayer Sun An came to defect to Li Yan because of Qiao Daoqing's relationship, and Li Yan brought both of them to Jeju Island to participate in this battle.

Cho Jeong was very self-motivated and willing to use his brain, and he had long decided that he had to deal with Goryeo by using Jeju Island as a large rear of Supo Yangsan, so while protecting Governor Su, he studied Goryeo hard.

Knowing that Cao Zheng was learning Goryeo hard, Li Yan waved his hand, and matched Cao Zheng with a Korean who knew Chinese as a teacher, and rewarded Cao Zheng with two Goryeo women as concubines.

Because Cao Zheng has this specialty, this time Li Yan recruited 4,000 foot soldiers from the captured Goryeo slaves, and let Cao Zheng lead 1,000, and the other 3,000 were led by Deng Yuanjue, Yuan Lang, and Sun An.

In order to control these 4,000 slaves and servants, and also to make these 4,000 slaves and servants have combat effectiveness, Li Yan took out 100 people from his own personal guard army and distributed them to Cao Zheng and the four of Cao Zheng, and gave Cao Zheng four people and 1,000 Liangshan reserves, so that they could use these 1,100 people as skeletons to lead these 4,000 slaves and slaves to form a liberation box (Cao Zheng is temporarily in charge of the capital, and Sun An is temporarily in charge of the deputy capital) - currently under the jurisdiction of the Liangshan Infantry Fourth Army (Cao Zheng is the commander, Deng Yuanjue is the deputy commander), and the Liangshan Infantry Fifth Army (Sun An is the commander, Yuan Lang is the deputy commander).

This surprise attack on Lichenggang's more than 5,000 infantry troops was the liberation chamber.

The inspector said, "Disrespectful...... I don't know what you have captured this time, general? ”

Cao Zhengxin said: "I said why I didn't leave after asking, it turned out that I wanted to ask for some benefits." ”

Cao Zheng smiled: "You wait for me." ”

Cao Zheng didn't dare to tell others to do this, for fear that others would accidentally show their feet, so he went to the side and got a pair of very beautiful teacups, and then gave them to the censors, saying, "This is what I seized from a large family, give it to you, let's make friends." ”

This kind of gift should not be given too heavily, it is easy to arouse suspicion if it is heavy, and a pair of teacups with a beautiful style but not too much value are just right.

Although the verification official is a civil official, his grade is too low, and he does not dare to blackmail a Zhonglang general who is a five-grade general, especially a Zhonglang general who returns victorious, so he is already very content to get a pair of very beautiful cups, so he got off Cao Zheng's boat with his name, and then drove back to report in a small boat.

Soon, there were flags on the dock signaling that the fleet could enter the port.

Things went surprisingly well.

Not long after, the Liangshan Fourth Army and the Fifth Infantry Army disembarked smoothly, and Cao Zhengying, who was the first to get off the ship, left the dock as soon as possible and headed for the main road to Licheng City......
