Chapter 109: Thrilling Strait

Starting from the town of Duli, the Lelanghai expedition crossed the Yellow Sea after several days of sea voyage to Shouyuan County, Fen Sao, which was still under the control of the Tang Dynasty in the southern part of the Xiongjin Prefecture. The www.biquge.info was warmly welcomed by the local Tang officers and soldiers stationed in the Tang Dynasty, although most of them were actually Baekje people, and only a few of the generals and officials were sent by the Tang Dynasty.

For the Baekje people, their kingdom was destroyed, and the war-torn kingdom was restored after six or seven years under the governance of the Chinese officials and the local chiefs, and they were also recognized by the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that what the people of Baekje didn't expect was that less than two years after the demise of Goguryeo, Silla stretched out its teeth to them and wanted to annex Baekje with great momentum. Life that has finally calmed down is full of war again.

Beginning this year, Silla gathered heavy troops to invade Baekje. Because there were not many Tang troops left behind in Baekje, only two or three thousand people combined, most of the troops were actually the original Baekje army that surrendered to the Tang army.

The original Baekje army suffered a devastating blow under the rebellion against the Tang Dynasty a few years ago, and the strength of the army that surrendered to the Tang Dynasty with Baekje generals such as Shazha Xiangru and Heizhi Changzhi was not strong.

After being suddenly attacked by Silla, Zuo Xiaoweilang, who was in charge of the military of the Xiongjin Prefecture, led tens of thousands of troops with serious shortcomings to defeat the Silla army in successive battles, and the capital of Baekje was also lost.

In the end, under the frantic attack of the Silla army, Liu Renyuan successively lost a large area of land in central Baekje, and finally had to surrender the southern region of Baekje, as well as several coastal prefectures and counties in the north.

If it weren't for King Yan's swift quelling of the rebellion of the remnants of Goguryeo, his troops coming to the northern border of Silla and forcing Silla to withdraw most of its troops on the Baekje battlefield and go north, and finally not to sign an armistice peace treaty with Li Yu.

Liu Ren is willing to return to Datang with the remaining remnants of the defeated army without receiving reinforcements from Datang.

At this time, for the people of Baekje, who had suffered from the war again, they were sincerely happy about the fleet from the Tang Dynasty, hoping that the invincible Tang army had helped them defeat the Silla. Although there is a truce now, who can guarantee that there will not be another outbreak of fighting tomorrow?

The Xiongjin Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of the Andong Prefecture, but at present, Li Yu can't take care of the Xiongjin Prefecture which has only one-third of the territory left and is not connected on land.

As long as Silla abides by the armistice and peace treaty, he acquiesces in the current situation between the two sides, and the order he gives to Yoo In-won is to hold on to the remaining Xiongjin Prefecture.

Hu Anjun's Lelanghai expedition team docked, and the officers and soldiers learned that it was not reinforcements, and although they were a little disappointed, they still gave a warm reception.

At the request of Hu Anjun, the head of the fleet, the local government prepared the necessary fresh water for the fleet.

After staying in Shouwon County for three days to rest and find out the information and shipping routes that might be encountered by the Silla Navy Division when sailing eastward, Hu Anjun led the fleet to set sail again towards the eastern part of the Korean Strait.

The naval division in southern Silla was not weak, and its capital, Jinju, was located on the seashore in the southeast of Silla's territory, far from being comparable to the naval division in the western part of the country, which was originally located in the gap between Baekje and Goguryeo.

Therefore, Hu Anjun was cautious when leading the fleet through the southern coast of Silla, for fear of encountering the Silla sailors.

Although the three ships in the fleet were large, the largest ship in Silla was only half the size. But the heroes couldn't stand the group fight, and because of the wide sails on the ship, they were even more afraid of fire attacks.

Early in the morning, Hu Anjun got up from his barn and stretched his muscles and bones with the smell of the salty sea breeze. Although he is the head of the fleet, Hu Anjun actually doesn't know much about navigation, and the one who is really in charge of the fleet navigation is the deputy director, Lu Yuanqing, a maritime merchant who joined the Yanwang Mansion after running at sea for decades from Jiaolong Sea Airlines.

Hu Anjun looked at the bow of the boat and saw Lu Yuanqing holding a telescope to observe the surrounding sea conditions.

Lu Yuanqing heard the footsteps and knew that Hu Anjun was coming.

Although Hu Anjun was born in Jiangnan, he didn't spend much time on the ship, and his body has never been comfortable when he went to sea for the first time. In the early days, I vomited a lot, and although I got better these days, my footsteps were very light.

"Mr. Hu slept well last night?" Lu Yuanqing put down the binoculars in his hand and asked with a smile.

"Hey!" Hu Anjun shook his head bitterly and waved his hand: "It's still the same, this boat is shaking and shaking, and it's hard to sleep, and my head is dizzy." ”

"This is the case with sailing at sea, where the ship never settles down, and if you want to have a good night's sleep on land, you have to adapt to the rocking of the ship. You just think of him as if he was a child dangling in his mother's arms and falling asleep! ”

"Hahaha, Brother Yuanqing, your analogy is so unique! When I was still in my mother's arms, I was afraid that I had to be under two years old. How can I afford to think about this? ”

"Hahaha......" The two laughed and talked about the friendship of this expedition to the east. After the safe passage of the Silla coast, they sailed north to the Governor of Dongzha Prefecture.

In the early winter morning, the sea is obscured by dense fog, which severely obstructs the fleet's view. Hu Anjun and Lu Yuanqing took a telescope at the bow of the ship and couldn't see the sea conditions a mile away, so they ordered the crew on duty to be alert to the sea surface and returned to the cabin.

It's not comfortable to be on a cold, windy deck.

At noon, while the crew of the flotilla was eating in the cafeteria, the eager clanging of the brass bells used as a warning sounded on the deck.

The crew, who were having dinner, quickly rushed from the cabin to the deck, asking the people on duty what had happened.

The crew on duty on the deck pointed to Hu Anjun and Lu Yuanqing, who were always rushing to the deck in the north, and shouted: "Chief, there is a Silla naval division in the north, and a hundred warships are rapidly heading towards us. ”

Hu Anjun and the others, who had just landed on the deck, ran to the side of the ship to look north, and after the dense fog on the sea dissipated, the battle flags of the Silla sailors were clearly hung on the sea two or three miles away, and they came straight to them.

Lu Yuanqing hurriedly took out the binoculars from his arms and looked at them, only to see a general in armor on the bow of the leading Silla Navy warship, pointing a knife at them, opening his mouth and not knowing what to call, looking very excited.

"Quick, raise the sails at once, raise the rudder and go full speed."

Lu Yuanqing yelled at the stunned crew, reacted slowly and simply kicked it, and commanded the panicked crew to untie the sails.

More than a dozen strong men who were afraid of force hurriedly went down to the cabin and ran to the stern. When he reached the stern rudder, he rolled up his sleeves and shook the big stern rudder rod from side to side.
