Li Yuzheng studied the topographic map of the entire Korean Peninsula in his tent, and except for the large estuarine alluvial plains in the lower reaches of the Han River and the Hunshui, there were only some narrow plains in the mountain valleys, and the entire Korean Peninsula was full of undulating mountains.

Xue Jun rushed into the big tent, and Li Yu was a little unsure.

"Your Highness, it's not good, our tank ship was destroyed by the Silla people outside the mouth of the river, and only thirty of the nine hundred crew survived."

Li Yu didn't reflect it for a while, damn, these Silla cubs actually ran to the sea near Pyongyang.

The tank ship of the Tang army transporting grain, grass and ordnance was destroyed by the Silla naval division, and Li Yu immediately convened the generals of the army to discuss the matter.

The big tent of the Chinese army was full of generals of the Twelve Guards, and everyone was frowning and worried.

"Your Highness, our army's grain and grass are only enough for twelve days, and now that the tank ship has been destroyed, the grain and grass are gone, and it is too late to transfer grain from Jiangnan to the south of the Yangtze River, what should we do now?" Xue Jun said worriedly.

Li Yu held his chin with one hand and made a sad face, since he led the army into Liaodong, the grain and grass needed by the whole army were all transported from the south of the Yangtze River by Jiaolong and Haihang, at this time, there was no surplus grain to buy in dozens of states and counties in the north, and the tank ship was destroyed, so this grain and grass became a critical problem.

"If we attack a large area of Pyongyang and its vicinity, won't we be able to raise a little grain and grass?" Gao Chongli shouted angrily.

"The area near Pyongyang that we have conquered has survived the war for many years, and there are many mountains and few fields in this area, and the people have fled to avoid the war, although we can collect some food, but we have 30,000 troops here, how can this food be enough?" Xue Jun, who was in charge of logistics, said with a wry smile.

Xue Maoxun said angrily to the two kneeling in the tent: "Your Highness, please drag these two useless wastes out and behead them to respect military law, if it weren't for these two people who crossed the Yellow Sea with their own cleverness, how could they encounter the Silla sailors?" ”

The generals in the tent looked angrily at Zhang Qin and Zhang Mao, who were kneeling in the big tent and trembling, and scolded angrily and saliva endlessly sprayed at the two who were in a cold sweat.

Zhang Mao couldn't say it, he was just the captain of a ship, just because he was the only person with a high position among the thirty surviving people except for Zhang Qin, the chief manager. Crossing the Yellow Sea is the idea of Zhang Qin, the general manager, how can we, the little captain, do anything. Something's wrong, what's the matter with us, why do you want to cut us down with Zhang Qin?

Although he had expected that the tanker would be destroyed and he would be beheaded, when he heard Zhang Qin's uncontrollable trembling, the fear of death occupied his body and mind.

Zhang Qin's trembling body betrayed the essence of his fear of death, which made all the generals in the tent despise, and he glanced at him contemptuously, and he didn't even want to look at this coward who was waiting to die.

Li Yu waved his hand in annoyance, and the guards at the door of the big tent stepped in and dragged the two kneeling on the ground out of the tent with their hands.

"Your Highness spares your life!"

Zhang's frightened face was colorless and kept struggling, and he begged for mercy loudly to King Yan, who was sitting in the first place.

Zhang Qin's expression was dark, and when he was dragged to the door by the guards, his eyes lit up and he shouted to King Yan: "Your Highness knows the truth about the islands of Ryukyu and Luzon. ”

Li Yu raised his head and ordered, "Stop." ”

The guards immediately let the two go, and the two hurriedly knelt on the ground and didn't dare to breathe. Since it was Zhang Qin, he was glad and sighed that he had made the right bet.

The reason why Zhang Qin shouted that he had been to these two places before he lost his head was that King Yan was interested in these two places. With his position as the fleet manager of Jiaolong HN, Zhang Qin found that Jiaolong HNA had been collecting the sea conditions of the South China Sea throughout the year and the various routes to the South Seas, and inquiring about the situation of various islands. So Zhang Qin wanted to gamble, gambling on his experience of traveling to Luzon and Ryukyu with curiosity when he was young.

The generals looked at Li Yu with some puzzlement, these two people changed the sailing route without authorization, causing the tank ship to be destroyed by Silla, and they should be beheaded according to the law.

"Do you really know about Ryukyu and Luzon?" Li Yu's eyes were like torches, staring at Zhang Qin.

"My subordinates know that a few years ago, when he led his own fleet to go to sea for trade, he had specially visited Luzon and Ryukyu." Zhang Qin replied in a hurry, sweating all over his body without knowing whether it was heat or fear in his heart.

"Give pen, ink, paper, inkstone, since you have been there, draw it." Li Yu is now interested in this person to see if he is lying.

Zhang Qin took the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and drew the shape of the Ryukyu and Luzon islands on the rectangular white paper, and in order to win the trust, he also drew the outline of the Tang Dynasty land in the northwest of Ryukyu and Luzon, marking the distance between the two places when the Tang Dynasty sailed.

After the painting was completed, Li Yu saw that it was very similar to the northern part of Luzon Island in the image, and the shape of the Ryukyus he painted seemed to refer to Taiwan.

"What is this string of small islands in the northeast of the Ryukyus?" Li Yu asked, pointing to the paper.

"That's the little Ryukyu, and the big one is the big Ryukyu." Zhang Qin replied stupidly.

Li Yu smiled, at least he knew that this guy had really been to Luzon and Ryukyu, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to draw the outlines of these islands. The six large islands and affiliated islands of the Ryukyu Islands were drawn, and for Li Yu, who liked to read maps in his previous life, the little Zhang Qin could not blind him.

"Presumably, there are many people in Jiangnan who have been to Luzon and Ryukyu, do you think you can let me spare your life if you have been there?" Li Yu looked at Zhang Qin with a pale face playfully.

Zhang Qin's face was pale, there were not a few merchants who ran maritime trade in the southeastern coastal states of the Tang Dynasty, and many people had also been to Ryukyu and Luzon, and King Yan could indeed find a lot of people if he wanted to find them.

But there is one point, there are absolutely few people in Datang who understand these two places like Zhang Qin. It is not an exaggeration to describe the people living in the two places as savages, there is no country exists, and there is no possibility of trade and trade in primitive life. Therefore, there are not many people who are really willing to go to Ryukyu and Luzon, and even fewer will go to the island to carefully investigate. The pale face turned to a firm reply: "But it is difficult for His Highness to find someone who knows enough about Luzon and Ryukyu. ”

"Oh? You're here to talk about it. Li Yu wanted to see what he could say.

"A certain person once landed on the islands of Luzon and the Ryukyu Islands, and the islands were inhabited only by some uncivilized savages, especially the native men and women living on the islands of Luzon who were unclothed and had no shame; The Ryukyu and the Ryukyus were relatively clothed to cover their bodies, but they all existed in the form of villages, and they did not make iron and cultivated the very backward land......"

Zhang Qin's discussion of Luzon and Ryukyu made Li Yu look at him with admiration, and this person had the curiosity to explore the unknown world. With this carefulness and Li Yu's previous life to the prehistoric human society of Luzon, Taiwan, and Ryukyu civilizations, Li Yu decided to keep him.

"Okay, you don't have to talk about it anymore, your life has been saved for the time being, but you are still waiting for the sinful body, ready to make meritorious contributions to the sin at any time."

"Your Royal Highness Xie forgives the guilty ministers......" Zhang Qin cried with joy and kowtowed repeatedly.

Zhang Mao looked at Zhang Qin pitifully, begging him to intercede with King Yan for himself.

"Your Highness, can you spare your life?" Zhang Qin kowtowed heavily.

"Do you want to intercede for others on your own or as a sinful body?" Gao Chongli sneered.

"Your Highness, if there is no Zhang Mao, the minister will be buried in the sea, and the minister will not want to watch Zhang Mao die."

"Zhang Mao and Zhang Qin will be convicted of meritorious service together, and they will enter the head camp first." Li Yu spoke, although Gao Chongli and the other generals were a little puzzled, they didn't say anything, but it was strange that His Highness seemed to be quite interested in this overseas land.

"Your Highness!"

Zhang Qin and Zhang Mao slammed their heads on the ground in gratitude, and when the tank ship was destroyed, the two expected that they would be executed by military law, but they didn't want to die.

Li Yu's face suddenly changed and he ordered: "The generals listen to the order, the trough ship has been destroyed, and the grain and grass are gone, and our army should fight quickly and solve it quickly." Today, the whole army is ready, and tomorrow it will be a decisive battle with Jian Mu Cen. ”

"No!"
