Chapter 143: Traces of Dongying!

It has been ten days since Liu Chen led the Northern Expeditionary Army to set off from Huwei Military Port, and this period was generally stable, but there was a storm on the way, but fortunately, even if a small island was found and the storm was avoided, otherwise there would definitely be losses.

Standing on the deck, looking at the endless sea, Liu Chen also felt a lot of emotion in his heart, there are countless treasures on the sea, but the risk is also extremely huge, if there is a natural disaster at sea, then even if Liu Chen is a congenital powerhouse, he will never be able to resist.

"There's land there!" Suddenly, a soldier belonging to the Praetorian Guard Battalion shouted excitedly, for land soldiers who do not often fight at sea, staying on the ship for a long time is indeed a kind of torment, just to say that in the past ten days, many soldiers have vomited because of seasickness.

It is precisely because of this that after hearing the voice, all the army soldiers are excited.

Liu Chen also looked into the distance, only to see a vast coastline appear in front of him, although it is very vast, but Liu Chen knows that this is still an island, because in terms of time, it is still far from entering the Bohai Sea, but after a long time at sea, encountering such a large island, Liu Chen is also a little happy in his heart, after all, on this ship, his life can not be well controlled, stepping on the solid earth, can give Liu Chen the greatest sense of security.

"My lord, the guide said that we have arrived at Miao Island, which is the boundary between the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, as long as you bypass Miao Island, you will enter the Bohai Sea." Xiahou Ying didn't come towards Liu Chen, and then hugged his fist at Liu Chen and said.

"Temple Island? The dividing line between the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea? Liu Chen said with some surprise, "In this way, this should be the Bohai Strait, it seems that the speed is still okay, from the Bohai Strait to the Bohai Bay, it is estimated that it will take about a month at most!" ”

Although Liu Chen is not from this world, he has long known that this world is actually the same as the Chinese world, but the area is much larger, this temple island is the largest island in the temple island archipelago, and this location is also the Bohai Strait, which is the dividing line between the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea!

Xiahou Ying looked at Liu Chen with some surprise, because he didn't know what the Bohai Strait was, but he didn't ask this, but asked: "Lord, the guide said that there are dozens of hundreds of islands on the boundary between the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, the largest of which is Changdao and the Temple Island in front of us. ”

Before leaving, Liu Chen spent a lot of money to find more than a dozen guides, these guides have been fishing in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea all the year round, and they are also very familiar with the route, after all, Liu Chen's sailors don't know the specific route.

After listening to Xiahou Ying's words, Liu Chen nodded and said with a smile: "This is no problem with the matter of Beiping City, we are not in a hurry, let the army rest for three days, and after three days, continue to set off!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiahou Ying's heart was also happy, and he said to Liu Chen: "Thank you, lord, my subordinates will let the soldiers know, I'm afraid that after the soldiers know, they should be very happy!" He clenched his fists and left.

Seeing this, Liu Chen smiled on his face, and didn't say anything, in fact, let alone those soldiers, even Liu Chen was a little uncomfortable, before leading the sailor to sea for half a month, Liu Chen even vomited, but fortunately, this time in the Northern Expedition, Liu Chen did not go out of the ocean, but thinking about staying at sea for a month, Liu Chen was still a little reluctant in his heart.

After the order to go to the island to rest and recuperate, both the sailors and the army soldiers were boiling, they were actually high, shouting that the lord was wise, and they were happily looking forward to being able to get to the island as soon as possible.

In fact, compared with the people in the rivers and lakes, the soldiers of the army are much simpler in their hearts, one is one, two is two, they don't have so many thoughts, who is good to them, for their sake, they can fight hard for whom, it's a bit silly to say, but isn't it a kind of cuteness?

There is still a big difference between the visual distance and the actual distance, the island has long been seen, but the warship has been traveling for most of the day, until sunset, it is not close to the temple island, but even so, looking at the land in front of them, looking at the green trees on the road, it seems that all the warriors feel relaxed at this moment.

A warship had already arrived here first, firstly, to find out if there was any danger on the island, secondly, to find a wide flat place where to set up camp, and thirdly, to find the best place for the warship to dock.

It wasn't until it was already dark that all the warriors landed on the island one after another and began to set up camp.

There are four places to choose the camp of the Han army, the largest open space is the seaside where the landing, there are sandy beaches and grass, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people to rest here, the back of this open space is a little higher, there are also a few open spaces, the Han army selected three enlarged places, and the landing place together, the 20,000 Han army was divided into four parts and camped respectively.

"Xiahou Ying, you marines will work hard first, be responsible for patrolling and escorting the task, wait for the army soldiers to reply, and then change them tomorrow morning." Walking on the island, Liu Chen said to Xiahou Ying beside him.

"Don't worry, my subordinates will arrange it!" Xiahou Ying said without hesitation.

Nodding, Liu Chen said to Sima Xin again: "The sailor is mainly responsible for setting up the camp, after all, you have to live here for three days, the wind and clouds on the sea have changed abruptly, no one knows the specific weather, and the work of moisture and rain prevention must be done well!" ”

"Command!" Sima Xin was even more direct.

"Li Xin, Situ Jiannan!" Liu Chen spoke again, this time to Situ Jiannan of the Praetorian Guard Battalion.

"The subordinates are here!" The two responded in unison.

"The two of you have selected fifty soldiers in good spirits from the reprimand team in your respective camps, a total of one hundred people, divided into ten squads, to investigate the entire island overnight, and our army is all gathered here, and there is no room for mistakes!" Liu Chen said with a serious expression.

"Yes, I'll just go to the full platoon when I wait!" The two answered.

"Okay, everything that needs to be said has been said, you all go your separate ways, after arranging things, take a good rest, and set off again, but it will be at sea for almost a month, and don't want to rest at that time!" Liu Chen finally said jokingly.

When the other generals heard this, they all looked at each other and smiled, and after holding their fists at Liu Chen and retreating, they also left one after another.

After a night of quiet sleep, the tired soldiers got up the next morning, and became energetic, without the slightest pale face on the sea, in addition to the arranged soldiers patrol, all the soldiers can play around here at will, for a time up the mountain, down to the sea, picking fruits, catching fish of countless soldiers, the whole camp is a joyful atmosphere.

However, while these soldiers were happy, Liu Chen received a report from a group of soldiers sent out to investigate the island last night, and after reading the information sent by these soldiers, Liu Chen's expression was also solemn, sitting in his camp tent, Liu Chen muttered: "There is a base for the Dongying people here, it seems that this road will not be too smooth!" ”
