Chapter 846: Out to Sea
Four months went by in a flash.
Jiangnan, Jinling, somewhere.
"It's going to be the New Year, right?"
On the endless sea, Cheng Chumo was holding a grilled fish, but he had no appetite no matter how he looked at it.
"Well, seven more days."
Li Zhen took the telescope and looked into the distance seriously.
"Don't look at it, it's been half a month, it's been like this bird, and I'm bored to death. On this broken ship, I can't eat anything, and the birds are about to fade out of my mouth. ”
Yu Chi Baolin also had dark circles under her eyes and looked malnourished. "Who is not, alas, I don't know when I will come to the end, and I don't know if the chart that Brother Yi got is accurate."
"What's on the charts?" Li Yexu pouted. "Big brother said, it's just a sketch, we are here this time, mainly to explore the way."
"Pathfinding? In other words, what if you find it? With less than 2,000 of us, what can we do? ”
Qin Huaiyu said depressedly.
"Okay, don't talk about it yet, I think, the little grandfather has his own arrangements, right?" Duan Zhikun couldn't help but speak.
When the others heard this, they didn't say anything more, since they left Jinling more than half a month ago, they have been drifting on the sea, and now, they can't see anything around except the sea, no wonder they are anxious.
On this trip, Li Yi brought a total of 2,000 people, a total of six big ships, these six big ships, are old ships refurbished, the Tang Dynasty actually had a shipbuilding workshop, but they built a ship Li Yi has not looked down on, therefore, will let Li Junqian help research and transformation, three months Li Junqian organized thousands of shipwrights, completed the transformation of six big ships, this transformation, mainly transformed the power system and defense system of the big ship, power system Li Yi does not know much, just according to the experience of later generations, and said something to the shipwright, The shipwright did not live up to expectations, according to Li Yi's scattered suggestions, nearly doubled the speed of the ship, and in addition, in terms of defense, Li Yi suggested that the outer bread of the ship be covered with a layer of iron sheet, and after testing, it was also succeeded in hurrying and hurrying.
More than half a month ago, Li Yi couldn't wait to take the six big ships that had just successfully tested the water, and went directly into the endless sea, he drew a simple nautical chart based on the information and sketches collected from the coastal fishermen in the past month, plus his own memory, Li Yi's goal was very simple, that is, the Korean Peninsula.
"Old Duan, how much food is in the boat to drink fresh water?"
On the front boat, Li Yi stood on the boat, with an unconcealable exhaustion on his face.
"It can last for half a month. Half a month later, we can't find land again, and we're in danger. ”
"Yes, I see." Li Yi nodded lightly, without the slightest abnormality on his face.
"Brother Yi'er......"
"I know what you're going to say." Li Yi raised his binoculars and said in a muffled voice: "I understand everything you say, but in order to win Goguryeo, I have to do it." ”
"Why?"
Duan Zan couldn't figure out why Li Yi was so radical.
Li Yi hesitated, and finally didn't plan to hide it. "I have received news that the Tibetans have already known that we are going to conquer Goguryeo, and that they have begun to prepare for war and are ready to attack us at any time. In addition, Xue Yantuo, Western Turks, and Tuyuhun are not very honest, this time, our Tang Dynasty is embattled. ”
"What? Then why didn't you tell Your Majesty? ”
Li Yi shook his head. "I have no proof. The movement of Tubo, even Wang Xuance and the others were not aware of it, and Xue Yantuo and other barbarians also had no movement, all of this has no basis, how can you let me tell Your Majesty? ”
"And how do you know?"
Li Yi's body stiffened, and he suddenly paused, and after a while, he continued: "Don't worry about this, I can't say this." ”
"When is this all the time, and you still tell me you can't say it?" Duan Zan was immediately furious, and he was very sad about Li Yi's distrust.
Li Yi smiled bitterly. "Old Duan, this matter is too involved, I really can't say it without His Majesty's order. Moreover, in fact, things are not as bad as you think, this time, although it is me Datang in the light, they are in the dark, but this time my Datang is absolutely fully prepared, but in the winter, they can't adapt to the point of sending troops, so once there is a breakthrough on our side, I am sure that I will solve all of them at once. ”
"What? You... You are crazy? ”
"Crazy? You think too much, in fact, this war is not as complicated as you think, sending troops in winter, the comparison is who can survive whom, just like now, as long as we can find land, then Goguryeo will definitely die. ”“
"But land, land, it's been half a month, where is the land you are talking about?"
"Hehe, what's the saying? Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, you see, we succeeded. ”
Li Yi held up the binoculars, and his face, which had been gloomy for half a month, finally showed a smile for the first time.
Duan Zan didn't react for a while, but when he heard Yu Mo shouting loudly, he reacted, and when he looked into the distance, he actually saw a black line, Duan Zan was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly snatched the telescope in Li Yi's hand, looked into the distance, and suddenly screamed in surprise.
"Land, it's really land."
Li Yi was suddenly arrogant. "Someone, give me orders, sail at full speed, and we will fight to get to the land for lunch."
Land, this word is too seductive, and when everyone hears that there is land, they all use their strength to eat.
The originally calm sea level suddenly became noisy for a while, and the six big ships suddenly increased their speed and moved forward at full speed.
Li Yi looked at the coastline, took out the map, compared it, and hooked a range at the corner of his mouth.
"Damn, Jeju Island, I finally found you, fortunately, Lao Tzu came once in his previous life, otherwise, it is really not ordinary to find you in this vast sea."
After finding Jeju Island, Li Yi was full of confidence in the next battle.
Moving his gaze downward, Yu Mo stopped his gaze at Tubo's position, and suddenly remembered a figure in his mind that he would never forget.
"Senior brother, it's been six years, I didn't expect you to be really alive, and you also occupied a small country in the Western Regions, and became a king, tsk, you deserve to be my senior brother, you are a great person everywhere, if it weren't for you this time, I guess I would have suffered a big loss in Tibet, but it's a pity, we don't know when we can meet again, you can't get in, I can't get out, alas, creation makes people."
Li Yi suddenly took out a letter from his arms, and there were only two simple words on the envelope - Tai Chi, these two words Li Yi was familiar with, and the font Li Yi was even more familiar with, it was the font of his long-missing senior brother Zhang Zhicheng.
A month ago, he suddenly received an anonymous letter, after some identification, Li Yi finally confirmed that his senior brother was still alive and became the king of a country, this time, because Songtsen Gampo borrowed troops from him, he learned about the conspiracy of Tubo, and he took the risk of sending a letter to Li Yi without revealing his identity, and it was because of this that Li Yi ventured out to sea to find Jeju Island.
