On October 27, the twelfth year of the Great Cause, the weather in winter was already a little cold, but fortunately, the sun was shining and the wind was beautiful.

Su You, who had left the mouth of the Mekong River at the beginning of August, had already reached the East China Sea after almost two and a half months of sailing, passing through the South China Sea and the Baodao Strait.

The route of the Su cruise fleet did not sail along the coastline like the usual caravans, which was also for fear of encountering merchants or navies of the Great Sui along the way.

However, Su You's worries were obviously unnecessary.

Since the ninth year of the Great Cause, all civilian ships have been used for military purposes, and the Age of Discovery, which Su You advocated at the beginning, has come to an end. -- Today's maritime trade routes have not been sailed by merchants for more than two years.

Similarly, because of the successive uprisings of Du Fuwei and Lin Shihong, the navy of the Great Sui was also forced to abandon coastal patrols, or sailed inland into the interior, or abandoned ships and rode on war horses

Even if Su You is now more than ten miles outside the mouth of the Yangtze River, he has not encountered any obstacles.

The coastal defense of the Great Sui had collapsed on all fronts as early as two years ago.

Seeing that the Yangtze River estuary was calm, Su You did not change his original intention, but commanded the fleet to continue to march towards the royal city of Goryeo.

As soon as Su You's order was issued, he received a report from the sentry, "About fifteen miles to the northeast, there are three medium-sized ships heading towards the mouth of the Yangtze River."

Su You, who hadn't met the enemy for more than two months, suddenly came to his senses and immediately ordered, "Go up and act when you see the opportunity!" ”

After only half a cup of tea, Su You's fleet was ten miles closer to the three ships in front, and the sentries could already see through the binoculars that one of the ships in front of them was flying the flag of the Great Sui, and the two ships behind were actually Goryeo ships.

After hearing this strange information, Su You was immediately stunned, and thought to himself, "What's the situation?" How did the ship of the Great Sui get together with the ship of Goryeo? Or is it that Goryeo's ship is chasing the ship of the Great Sui? ”

Su You immediately came to the bow of the ship, raised the telescope in his hand, and found that the one in front of him was a merchant ship of the Great Sui, which seemed to be from his own dock before, and there was a person on the bow of this merchant ship holding a flag and constantly waving the flag.

"They're asking for help! Apparently because the Goryeo ships behind were chasing them! Su You nodded, but suddenly found that the two ships behind had stopped the pursuit and began to turn around and leave, apparently because the people on the Goryeo boat had discovered Su You's fleet at the same time.

Su You saw his compatriots being pursued on the high seas, and immediately ordered, "Speed up and capture those two Goryeo ships!" If you dare to resist, sink them all! ”

Su You's fleet had artillery, while Goryeo's ships only had catapults or poles at most, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides was obviously not at the same level.

After Su You's order was given, when he raised his binoculars again to look at the Great Sui merchant ship, he couldn't help but shout, "Isn't that Pisces?" ”

The Pisces in Su You's mouth was the white-headed boy Su Pisces who was rescued in the West Market that day, and later Su You gave him a chance to follow him into business.

Su Pisces was the first group of people to follow Laiyanbei to Baekje Silla, and after Su You returned to the Eastern Capital, he has been acting as an agent for Su You and the Seven Seas Trading Company left behind in Yanbei.

Su Shuangyu obviously also saw Su You in the telescope, and then Qingjing also ran to the deck, and there was a beautiful woman of seventeen or eighteen years old, still dressed as a girl-Fuyu Ming/Hui.

Except for the four clippers who pursued the fleeing Goryeo ships, the rest of Su You's fleet slowly stopped; Su Pisces's boat also approached the command ship of the fleet

As soon as Pisces and Qingjing arrived at Su You's boat, they began to cry.

Su You and Lai Yanbei immediately helped them up, looked at them with a smile and asked, "Why are you two still like children?" ”

Being able to meet them at this time, Su You and his wife also felt very surprised, and the most unexpected thing was that there was also a Fuyu Ming/Hui on Su Pisces' boat.

There are even more reasons why Su Pisces and Qing Jing cried so unscrupulously.

First, because they were all taught by Su You, without Su You, they would not be where they are today, and Su You can be said to be their reborn parents.

Secondly, Pisces and Qingjing didn't expect to see Su You in such a situation, since they learned that Su You went to Nanzhong, they thought that they would never see him again, but now happiness came too suddenly.

Another reason is that they thought they would be captured by the Koreans, but Su You appeared like Superman, what a surprise!

Su You glanced at Pisces' boat, then turned his head and asked him, "How did you appear on this sea, and what happened to Goryeo's boat?" ”

In Su You's words, the subtext obviously includes the ins and outs of Fuyu Ming/Hui.

Pisces immediately said, "In the past few years of war, the trade in the Central Plains has not been easy, and after discussing with Uncle Sun, I focused my work on Baekje, and we now have a fleet of ships sailing between Baekje, Silla and Fuso, and although the business is not as easy as before, it can still be maintained." ”

Su You nodded, he naturally knew the current situation, the arrival of war often brought inflation, and it was necessary to hoard some hard currency if he wanted to ensure that his property would not shrink.

But hoarding is premised on the ability to protect these possessions.

Seeing Su You motioning for himself to continue, Pisces continued, "A few days ago, the fleet set sail for Silla again, but I didn't know that Goryeo actually called Baekje three days ago; Seeing that the royal fortress of Baekje was in danger, I had to pack up and rush back to the Central Plains one step ahead of time. The reason why Princess Buyeo followed our ship to the Central Plains was also to ask His Majesty for help."

"I see." Su You nodded, finally understanding what happened to Pisces.

Probably because of the presence of Fuyu Ming/Hui on the ship, Pisces did not choose to sail the boat to Qindao and turn to Jiangdu, right? If the ship can go to Jiangdu, Fuyu Ming/Huicai can meet Yang Guang in the fastest time; If you go to Kotojima, you will be able to escape from the pursuit of the Goryeo boats, but you will be able to get rid of the thieves on the shore

However, what if Fuyu Ming/Hui arrives in Jiangdu? Yang Guang is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, can he still send reinforcements to Baekje? Goryeo is afraid that it is precisely because he saw that Yang Guangwai is strong and middle-class, so he will brazenly launch an attack and invade Baekje, right?

Thinking of the poor princess of Fuyu Ming/Hui, Su You immediately nodded and said with a smile, "Please let Princess Fuyu get on the boat." ”

Fuyu Ming/Hui then came to Su You's big boat with the support of two maids, her figure didn't seem to have grown taller in the past six or seven years, and judging from her hairstyle, she didn't seem to be married.

Thinking about the scene of the little Lori in front of him for the first time in the fifth year of Daye, Su You couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

Fuyu Ming/Hui didn't have the shelf of a princess at all, so she first bowed down to Su Youyingying, and after saying "sir", she shed tears, and called "sister" to Lai Yanbei in military uniform.

Lai Yanbei looked at Fuyu Ming/Hui Chuchu's lovely appearance, immediately helped her up, and wiped her tears with his hands and said, "Don't cry, everything will be fine." ”

Fuyu Ming/Hui obviously saw Su You's neat army, and immediately shed a lot of tears as if he didn't want money, and pleaded again, "Please sister, save my family, save our people." ”

Fuyu Ming/Hui still wanted to speak as fast as back then, and came to Yanbei to turn his head to look at Su You noncommittally.

"We were originally going to crusade against Goryeo, but this is more of a teacher." Su You nodded, and after saying this to Fuyu Ming/Hui, he gave an order to the ships in front, "Sink those two ships in Goryeo!" ”

As soon as the order was given, the explosion of "boom" and "boom" was heard, and the two Goryeo ships were quickly plunged into a sea of fire, and then slowly sank to the bottom of the sea

Fuyu Ming/Hui and Pisces Qingjing and the others were so shocked that their jaws almost fell to the ground after watching the Goryeo boat that was chasing them all the way being destroyed in an instant.

How had they seen such domineering combat power before?

Pisces and Qingjing both looked at Su You with adoration on their faces, and involuntarily said, "Sir"

Su You waved his hand, "You don't need to say anything, you don't have to go back to the Central Plains, take care of the Seven Seas Trading Company for me in Baekje!" In the future, our trading company will become bigger and stronger, and I have already established several docks in the south."

What can Pisces and Celestial do besides nodding vigorously?

At the same time, on the vast field south of Dahai Temple in Xingyang County, Zhang Xutuo led a feint attack of 10,000 elite soldiers and formally encountered an army of 200,000 led by Zhai Rang.

Zhang Xutuo's handsome is all elite, but if you really want to compare the combat effectiveness, it is impossible to fight one against twenty; But arithmetic people don't necessarily fight, and war is not the same as math problems.

At least in terms of momentum, Zhang Xutuo's 10,000 elite soldiers are not weaker than Zhai Rang's 200,000 army.

Zhang Xutuo's elite soldiers were highly disciplined, they wielded guns and shields, and just slowly moving forward made the 200,000 Wagang army frightened.

The banner of the word "Zhang" fluttered slowly in the winter sun in the afternoon, and the pace of the soldiers followed the drum step by step, so as to move forward in a neat and orderly manner.

It was only 10,000 people, but in the eyes of the soldiers of the Wagang Army, it felt that they had endless strength.

Seeing the soldiers on his side scattered in front of Zhang Xutuo's 10,000 people, Zhai Rang seemed to see the defeat like a mountain, but when he thought of Li Mi's secret weapon, he immediately regained his strength.

Zhai Rang said, even if there were 20,000 people who outflanked the 10,000 or so who took the lead in Zhang Xutuo, there were 5,000 cavalry in the middle

As soon as the battle began, Zhai Rang wanted to use 25,000 people to flood Zhang Xutuo's 30,000 people.

If the individual combat ability is comparable, Zhai Rang's tactics are obviously impeccable, the problem is that no matter in terms of momentum or equipment, Zhang Xutuo's elite can throw dozens of streets of the Wagang army.

Zhang Xutuo's elite was not in a hurry, and the Wagang army was indomitable, and their momentum finally overwhelmed the other party for the first time.

The two sides began to make contact, but there was no earth-shattering collision as imagined, but what Zhai Rang saw was that the enemy's soldiers immediately put their shields on their sides, and quickly made way for a passage, and the Wagang army took advantage of the situation to enter, and the Sui army's shield was instantly closed.

The Qianwagang army had already entered Zhang Xutuo's shield array, and within the battle array, the dust was flying.

Zhai Rang held the binoculars and stared blankly at the brothers who poured into the enemy's battle array, but he couldn't see clearly who was alive and who was dead.
