"General, no Chen's relics have been found on the island!"

This is already the fourth team of scouts who have come back to summon the news, Zhao Yi has a dark face, waves his hand and lets them go down, and look at Zhifu Mountain again, this remote, sparsely populated, and bustling island, his heart is full of anger. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After Chen Heng floated away with the fleet, the first thing that Zhao Yi, Ran Qiu and Bao Xi thought of was the closest island to the coast, "Zhifu".

The reason why it is called "Zhifu" is because of the characteristics of the terrain here, which is very similar to the two Qi national seal characters. It is the tortuous coastline between Zhifu Island and the mainland coast, or a harbor is drawn, and Fu is a lot of fishing nets on the shelves on the coast.

This island is not big or small, with a radius of more than 50 miles, a tortuous coastline, vast tidal flats, and several natural harbors that can allow the fleet to land. Moreover, the island is hilly, densely wooded, and has fresh water and streams, which can also allow thousands of people to hide in it.

Therefore, it is not impossible for Chen Heng to lead the crowd to escape here.

Zhao Yi couldn't wait to go to the island to search immediately, but the Langya Water Division of the Zhao army had already been wiped out, and there was not even a boat division accompanying him in this attack, and all the ships in the city were also taken away by Chen Heng, and the Zhao army had nothing to do for a while.

Fortunately, Bao Xi told him that Zhifu was only three miles away from the coastline, and in fact, it could not be regarded as a complete island, because every time the tide receded, there would be a narrow sand ridge nearly three miles long that would emerge from the water, which was enough for people to pass. It's just that this sand ridge path disappears and disappears with the ebb and flow of the sea, and if you miscalculate the time, the people on it will be swallowed by the sea.

When Bao Xi was young, he once came here with Qi Jinggong, and not only knew the shortcut, but also remembered the time limit for going to the island.

"Ping Gong (Qi Jinggong) likes to swim in Shaohai, and once brought me to Zhifu, where a temple of the Yang Lord was set up, and Chen Heng was also among his entourage at that time, so he knew that he could go to the island to hide."

Under Bao Xi's guidance, Zhao Yi personally led more than 1,000 people to the island and camped at the empty Yang Lord Temple. Because he was not familiar with this place, he did not dare to be careless, and first sent a hundred scouts to all directions to explore. From morning to afternoon, the four teams returned to their camp and reported that there was no trace of Chan on the island, but only a few fishermen who were hiding on the island for a living.

The conditions on Zhifu Island are difficult, there are few residents, and those islanders don't even understand Qi Chinese, so they can't ask anything, so Zhao Yi can only give up. He decided to rest on the shore for the night, and tomorrow let the scouts go deep into the mountains and forests on the island to search carefully, but at present, it seems that there is not much hope of finding Chen Heng......

"Chen Heng brought seven or eight thousand people, even if everyone hid in the mountains and forests, the boat couldn't take it away, but the island turned around, and there was no sign of the ship, so from this point of view, Chen Heng was only afraid that he didn't come here......"

Bao Xi said as he sat outside the Yang Lord Temple and frowned, in fact, he lost Chen Heng's trace, and he was even more anxious than Zhao Yi. For Zhao Guo, Chen is just a more annoying opponent, but he is also a defeated general, but for Guo, Gao, Bao, and Yan, Chen is the culprit who made them leave their homeland and go into exile, and they are mortal enemies! Every time they thought of the days when they were toyed with by Chen Qi and Chen Heng's father and son, they were indignant.

As long as Chen is still in the day, Bao Xi will not be able to live in peace, so he is more eager than Zhao Yi to find Chen Heng's whereabouts, so he does not hesitate to wait all night, and as soon as the sun comes out the next day, he sincerely kneels in the Yang Lord Temple, praying for the guidance of the gods.

It turns out that the belief of this Qi land is not the same as that of the Central Plains, and it basically inherits the tradition of Dongyi as it is, and worships the "eight gods", that is, the eight gods of heaven, earth, sun, moon, yin, yang, soldiers, and four hours, among which the soldiers are the leaders of Chiyou, Jiuli and Dongyi.

The Yang Lord is the opposite of the Yin Lord, and at the level of the religious deities of the Qi people, he is in charge of natural disasters such as water, drought, wind, and hail, and is also in charge of the harvest of rice, soybean, grain, and millet. In the country of Qi, where the people live on grains, it is one of the most worshiped gods by the people.

Among them, Fu Island is precisely the place of the sunshine in the eyes of the warlocks of the Qi Kingdom, so the Qi Marquis chose to build a temple here, hoping to pray for immortality.

The temple site of the main temple of Yang is backed by the main peak of Zhifu, facing the vast sea, with the mountain gate and the wooden temple built by the reef, after the establishment, the doctor of the province will send people to worship every year, so the incense is still the same.

Under the surprised gaze of Zhao Yi and other Zhao people, Bao Xi bowed to the tablet of the god in the temple, thinking of the grand scale, grand ceremony, and majestic demeanor when the ancestor took them to sacrifice, and then looked back at the decline of the Qi country now, and even to be able to continue, he had to look at Zhao Wuxian's face and act, and couldn't help sighing.

On that day, Qi Hou was begging the Yang Lord to bless the wind and rain and bless the peace of the country and the people, but now Bao Xi only wants to know where Chen Heng has gone?

"If the Yang Lord can inform the boy of Chen's whereabouts, the boy will come to worship with wine and grains every year......"

Bao Xi, who knelt on the ground and bowed down, did not know that there would be many emperors who would frequently visit Zhifu in the future, such as Qin Shi Huang's three visits to Fu, and he also took a commemorative stay here, Qin II Hu Hai, and Han Wu Emperor Liu Che also visited here, but the Yang Lord did not bless their empire for eternity......

In the end, it was the thoughtful Ran who begged someone to cross the sea and tell them that according to the Zhao cavalry sent on the coastline, Chen's fleet seemed to be heading west......

"That's right, it was the east wind that day!" Zhao Yi and Bao Xi hurriedly returned to Yanyi to discuss with Ran Qiu, and Ran Qiu put forward a bold idea.

"Chen Hengmo didn't deliberately lure us to come and pursue, he went to the west of the sea to attack Huangyi and Laicheng?"

Everyone was shocked, because they were bent on pursuing Chen Heng, so only a few troops were left in Laicheng and Huangyi to guard it, if they were attacked by Chen Heng, it would be really troublesome.

So the army hurried back to Lae, but they still pounced on it, and there was not even a shadow of a ship on the sea.

Ran Qiu was still a little unwilling, and after thinking for a while, he asked people to gather Huangyi's ships and cross the sea to "Shamen Island" north of Huangyi to find out.

Salmon Island is also known as the Temple Island Islands in later generations, also known as "Penglai". This string of islands is like a string of pearls scattered on the blue sea, dotted, the big ones have a radius of dozens of miles, and the small ones only have a little small reef, but on the whole they are larger than Zhifu, and there are more islands living on them. Ran Qiu believed that his judgment was correct, in this era, ships could only sail along the coast, and it was impossible to go deep into the ocean, even if Chen Heng's fleet did not attack Lae, they could only reach here.

This time, on Salmon Island, in addition to the fishermen fishing on the island, Zhao Jun finally had some other gains, several boats that sank on the reef were discovered, and several Qi people who were trapped on the island were also captured.

After interrogation, they admitted that they were Donglai people who were coerced onto the ship by Chen Heng, and that Chen Heng's fleet had indeed traveled more than ten miles north first, and then continued to sail north along the island chain after avoiding the eyes and ears on the shore......

And these unlucky people either accidentally ran aground on the reef, or deliberately sailed away from the fleet, not wanting to follow Chen Heng to continue the adventure, but they also did not know Chen Heng's final whereabouts, the head of the Chen family was extremely cautious, and only shared secrets with a few people around him.

After asking, Ran Qiu, Zhao Yi, Bao Xi and the others looked at each other, this time, their knowledge was limited, and they couldn't understand what Chen Heng's intentions were.

"In the past, there were also ships that traveled along Shaohai to the Jieshi of Yan Kingdom, this Chen Hengmo is not ...... Going to Yan Country? Bao Xi guessed.

But now that Yan Guo has taken refuge in Zhao State, it is unlikely that he will offend Zhao Hou in order to protect the remnants of the Chen family, this speculation is difficult to confirm in a short period of time, and in the end Ran Qiu made a decision, instead of speculating randomly, it is better to strengthen coastal defense, from the easternmost Zhifu that never sleeps, and then to Huangyi, Yeyi, and even Shaodian and Linzi, for a while, Chen Heng, who has no trace to be found, seems to be everywhere, and may land on a beach in Qi at any time.

For the first time, the threat from the sea was in front of Zhao Guo, and Ran Qiu and Zhao Yi had the idea of "taking the sea as the frontier" for the first time in their hearts.

When there was nothing they could do, they could only write a letter to Zhao Hou together, admitting that they had lost Chen Heng and pleading guilty to him for this......

……

"Chen Heng took 500 heroes and 8,000 people to float to the sea in Fushan Mountain?"

In late November, Zhao Wuxian, who had returned to Yecheng, finally learned the news.

"Hey, this Chen Heng is really a rabbit, he can really escape."

Zhao Wuxian put down the letter and thought about it, he didn't expect Chen Heng to have such courage to stay on land, so he dared to flee to the sea.

So, where did he go?

Zhao Wuxian's vision was farther than Ran Qiu, Zhao Yi and the others, and his gaze jumped out of the limitations of Qi and Yan and cast on three other places, which were not included in the ordinary map of this era at all.

Liaodong, Korea, Japan!

"Attached" is Zhifu, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the people of Qi have opened up a route from Zhifu to Langya. (To be continued.) )
