Chapter 730: I can't find the landing site

Wang Ping'an sighed, nodded and said: "Scared me, I thought his name was Xue Rengui, his name is Xue Renyi, this name is Rende Guoyi, a good name!" ”

The head of Qingzhou said with a smile: "That is, this name is a good name that I thought about for almost a year before I came up with it, and I specially found a fortune teller, and I took out this good name after counting all aspects!" ”

Su Dingfang also smiled on the side: "General Xue Rengui is in a high position, even if he has the same name as him, it is also admiration for him, and General Xue will not blame him." ”

The governor of Qingzhou sighed: "When I gave birth to the second child of my family, didn't General Xue not become famous yet, the name I gave to this child, if you count it now, it is a bit like a brother to General Xue!" ”

Wang Ping'an was very surprised and said, "You all know General Xue? I've only heard of his name, but I've never seen anyone! ”

Su Dingfang was also quite surprised, and said: "Prince, how can you not see him, he is the general of the Northern Ya, guarding the Xuanwu Gate!" ”

Qingzhou General Pipe: "I haven't been introduced by anyone, I heard that General Xue doesn't like to make friends, and he rarely interacts with civilian officials." ”

Only then did Wang Ping'an know that the general guarding the Xuanwu Gate in this era turned out to be Xue Rengui! He smiled and said: "When I go back to Beijing in the future, I will have a good relationship with General Xue!" ”

The young general Xue Renyi said: "I heard that General Xue is good at shooting, so the young general also practiced archery hard, which is considered a small success, I only hope to see General Xue in the future and get his guidance!" ”

Wang Ping'an hummed and said, "As long as you kill the enemy well in Baekje and make military achievements, then when you enter Beijing to show your martial arts, you will meet General Xue, let's go see him together!" ”

Taking Xue Renyi with him, Wang Ping'an bid farewell to the governor of Qingzhou and ordered the army to board the ship and set sail across the sea.

The flotilla left Laizhou and sailed into the sea. It's a good time for spring to shine. Take a sea boat to go on the expedition, and you will see the blue sea and blue sky along the way, and the sky is clear; At night, the sky is full of water and sky, the night sky is dotted with stars, and the scenery is spectacular!

Within a day, the Tang Expeditionary Force arrived near the coast of Baekje. The soldiers and civilians of Baekje did not know that the Tang army had arrived, and the fishermen still went out to sea to fish as usual, and some highly skilled fishermen even left the shore for more than 100 miles to fish, hoping to catch more and bigger fish.

The convoy of the Tang army, the large warships marched in a line, while the smaller fast boats spread out, and attacked the fishermen of Baekje in all directions, as long as they caught the fishermen, they were all taken into custody, and if they dared to escape, they would release arrows and stones to sink the opponent's boat. In this way, to ensure that the whereabouts of the army are not exposed.

On this day, Wang Ping'an went to the deck, looked at the sky in the distance, and said, "I think it's almost Baekje, how far is it from the land, why don't you see seabirds?" He didn't know much about sailing, but he knew that if he saw a seabird, such as a seagull, it meant that he was close to land.

Su Dingfang held the map in his hand, and said while looking at it: "This map is too simple, just draw a circle on the shore, and then write Si Xiang, I didn't feel anything when I looked at it in Chang'an, but now that I am almost on the ground, I found that where is this circle?" There is a circle on the map, but it has to be dozens of miles on the shore, if this is landed in the wrong place, wouldn't it be a waste of all the previous efforts? ”

Wang Ping'an called Xue Renyi and asked, "When you were in Qingzhou, did you read the map of Baekje, do you know that Siyu City, where is the specific location?" ”

Xue Renyi shook his head and said, "Where is this Siyun City, the last general doesn't know, I haven't been to Baekje before!" If the prince had asked about the place near Qingzhou, it would have been all clear. ”

Wang Ping'an sighed and said: "I really asked Yu Blind, I haven't been to Baekje before, in fact, I haven't even been to Qingzhou before, and I haven't been to Laizhou, but I haven't found a place just by looking for it!" ”

Su Dingfang looked at the map and shook his head, and said, "If you say according to General Xiao Xue, you haven't been to a place you have been, you shouldn't know where it is?" ”

Xue Renyi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, I haven't been to any place, how can I know where it is?" ”

In fact, it's no wonder that Xue Renyi doesn't know where Si Yu is, which is completely understandable. For ordinary people in this era, a place a hundred miles away from home is another world. And for a soldier like Xue Renyi, as long as it is under the jurisdiction of the governor of Qingzhou, he knows that this is quite good, as for Baekje...... If it weren't for this expedition with Wang Ping'an, maybe he wouldn't have paid attention to Baekje in his life, or Qianji!

Wang Ping'an took the map, looked at it, and thought: "The ancient people drew maps, but they were too rough, how do you look at this, there is no way to calculate the correct landing location from the map!" ”

He said to Su Dingfang: "When you were in the military department, did you see a more detailed map?" ”

Su Dingfang said: "No, this is the most detailed, it was painted by the Baekje people themselves, and it was offered to Chang'an as a tribute." However, the general thinks that the map drawn by the Baekje people themselves can be seen by themselves, and if it is shown to our people in the Tang Dynasty, then maybe they will deliberately draw the wrong map and draw it wrongly, so that we will not take the map they drew and beat them, just like now! ”

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "That's right, what you said makes a lot of sense!" ”

How the people of Baekje draw the map, the Tang Dynasty will not send someone to verify it, and they can draw it however they want. But he really doesn't know where Si Xiancheng is, in modern times, he hasn't studied this aspect of things, at most he has seen it in film and television dramas, but he won't play these in film and television dramas!

Seeing that Wang Ping'an and Su Dingfang were worried together, Xue Renyi said cautiously: "Why don't we send a boat over first and investigate?" Wouldn't it be enough to find a landing location? ”

Wang Ping'an and Su Dingfang shook their heads together, Su Dingfang said: "We are in too much hurry to send troops this time, like this kind of expedition, it will take a year or two in advance, and at least a few months to prepare, how can there be such a thing as now, say that you will go out on an expedition and come out by boat with the soldiers, but the result is good now, and you can't even find the landing site!" ”

Wang Ping'an patted the side of the boat and said, "What's the use of complaining about this, what's the benefit of complaining?" He looked at Xue Renyi and said, "If you send a small boat over, it will be easy for the Baekje people to find out, and in this case, our surprise attack is unlikely to succeed." If the 100,000 army pressed the border, then it would be useless for them to prepare, but now we only have 10,000 people, if the surprise attack fails, we can only return to Laizhou, maybe we will have to be caught up by the Baekje soldiers and beaten up, wouldn't it be bad! ”

Xue Renyi thought for a moment and said, "This...... That's right, you have a point, Maharaja! ”

Su Dingfang said angrily: "You are really inexplicable, everything makes sense!" But now the question is, where are we? We can't figure out where we are now, how to land, how to raid? The prince, according to the will of the last general, simply torture those captured Baekje fishermen and let them lead the way, this is the best! ”

Xue Renyi was young and vigorous, he was robbed by Su Dingfang, and he was unhappy, although he was a general, but his father was the governor of Qingzhou, he was used to being a son-in-law, and when he heard Su Dingfang say that he was inexplicable, he retorted: "General Su, the prince's words are reasonable, but your words are unreasonable." From the mouths of those fishermen in Baekje, there is nothing to ask. Let's attack their country, and when we go ashore, we will wash the land in blood, and they will not tell the truth for the sake of their families, but will deliberately deceive and show the way! ”

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "I am now the leader of the invading army, and it seems that this invading army does not mean that if you want to invade anyone, you can simply invade successfully!" ”

He said: "Don't make any noise, there is no other way now, we lack a guide, we can't find the direction at all, we can only rely on asking the fishermen of Baekje, didn't you catch a dozen of them a few days ago, bring them all up, and ask!" ”

Xue Renyi didn't dare to say anything more when he saw Wang Ping'an speak, so he hurriedly passed the order and asked the Qingzhou soldiers to bring those fishermen from Baekje up!

After taking it to Wang Ping'an's warship, the Qingzhou soldiers knocked down the Baekje fishermen and called an interpreter to translate Wang Ping'an's words.

Wang Ping'an said: "As long as any of them is willing to show us the way, then we can spare him from dying, after my army lands, I can spare his family, and allow them to become the people of my Tang Dynasty, and enjoy the treatment of the people of the Heavenly Empire from now on!" ”

The interpreter listened and spoke, and translated the words in the past, but none of the Baekje fishermen who were caught were silent, and their eyes were full of hatred when they looked at Wang Ping'an and the others!

Wang Ping'an frowned, and said: "Future generations will always be exempt from taxes, and they can participate in scientific expeditions." As long as any of them are willing to show the way, then I will immediately give him an official, and after the capture of Baekje, let this person be the prefectural commander of a county. ”

The interpreter passed the word again, but the fishermen of Baekje still did not squeak.

Wang Ping'an looked at the translator and said, "Did you translate it wrong, or did you have the wrong accent?" Why didn't they react at all? ”

The interpreter was embarrassed and said, "When I go back to the princes, the lower officials speak Goguryeo to them, and as for Baekje, the lower officials don't know how to speak them!" ”

Xue Renyi hurriedly excused the interpreter and said: "Isn't this too hurried, before the arrival of the prince, we Qingzhou didn't know about the expedition, and we ignored the matter of the interpreter when we were busy." But it doesn't matter, anyway, we're not going to Baekje to do business, so it doesn't matter if we say what they say. ”

Wang Ping'an had a big headache, this raid was indeed too hasty, the prime ministers of the court only thought about relying on the force of the Tang army to raid Baekje, but they forgot that no matter how important the force is, it has to go ashore to use it, but now it is not clear where to go ashore, and they can't send people to reconnoitre!

Seeing the annoyed expression on Wang Ping'an's face, Xue Renyi hurriedly said: "This is easy to do, it doesn't matter if you don't understand the language, but everyone knows the knife handle!" ”

After speaking, Xue Renyi took out his waist knife, grabbed a Baekje man, pointed to the north, and asked, "Are you willing?" ”

The interpreter hurriedly translated the past in Goguryeo, and the Baekje man was so surprised that he shook his head, which showed that he could understand Goguryeo!
