Chapter 66: Liao's Ambitions

The rain continued unabated, and it continued to rain for a whole decade.

In this kind of weather, it is almost impossible to go to sea, and there are more than 20 large and small civilian ships moored at the wharf of Yunguam, and these civilian ships are basically idle and empty, and it is not difficult for Zhang Yuyang to collect them. He Tengxiao is willing to rent and rent, rather than requisition in vain, and the shipowners are happy to contribute the boat. Zhang Yuyang offered sailors a commission three times higher than usual, and these sailors were scrambling to go to sea, but there was no shortage of manpower.

Zhang Yuyang's organizational ability is very strong, in just one day to complete the collection of ships, the deployment of materials, by dusk, all the materials have been loaded on the ship, just waiting for He Tengxiao to give the order to set sail.

Boarding the deck, He Tengxiao gave the order to set sail, and the drummers on the building ship beat the drum to convey the order to set sail. The Yunguam fleet braved the rain and chopped the wind and waves and embarked on a journey.

Looking at this fleet built by himself, He Teng was surging, and in the six months since he came to this time and space, he has been working hard to survive in this time and space, and today, it has finally achieved results.

Being able to collect more than 20 large and small ships and organize more than 6,700 expeditions in one day, how many people in Liaodong can be so efficient?

This year's weather is very abnormal, in previous years, Liaodong will not have this kind of rainstorm weather until the beginning of August, but this year's rain belt has advanced so fast, only at the end of June, Liaodong has entered a continuous rainstorm weather. Looking at the boundless heavy rain, He Tengxiao thought to himself: The rain belt is advancing so fast, I'm afraid that the Yangtze River bag will be in a drought for days at this time. This year's harvest in the prefectures and counties on both sides of the Yangtze River will certainly not be much better than last year's. The northern part of the empire has been plagued by famine for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to describe many prefectures and counties as ten rooms and nine emptiness, and now the main financial revenue of the empire depends on the rich prefectures and counties in the Jiangnan region. The empire relied on the taxes of these prefectures and counties to barely staggered to the present, and the poor harvest of these prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River was tantamount to adding insult to injury for the devastated Great Zhao Empire. How long will this boss empire last?

"Although the rain is heavy, the wind and waves in the Bohai Sea are not big, and the sailors say that compared with the black water ocean they have walked through, the Bohai Sea is a bath." Zhang Yuyang said to He Tengxiao after boarding the ship.

"The Bohai Sea is an inland sea, no matter how big the wind and waves are, it can't go anywhere, and no matter how big the wind and waves are, it can't go anywhere. After the old iron mountain waterway, out of the inland sea wind and waves may be thankful. He Tengxiao said. The black water ocean in the mouth of the sailors refers to the outer ocean surface of the East China Sea, which is about five or six hundred miles away from the land, and there are two ocean surfaces in turn, the white water ocean and the green water of the South China Sea, but these two oceans are closer to the land than the black water ocean, and the wind and waves are not as big as the black water ocean. It was a piece of cake for them to walk through the Black Water Ocean and the Bohai Sea.

"You know so much without walking through the Black Water Ocean, I really don't understand how you can fit so many things in your head." Zhang Yuyang shrugged and said, He Tengxiao has brought Zhang Yuyang a lot of mystery after getting along for half a year, he is no longer surprised, but he is still very curious, he took Heishuiyang to Liaodong, and only after seeing the sinister wind and waves of Heishuiyang did he know that the Bohai Sea and Heishuiyang are really a bathtub compared to Heishuiyang. How could He Tengxiao, a person who has never been abroad, understand so much?

He Tengxiao smiled and did not respond to Zhang Yuyang, there are some things he can only hide in his heart and can't mention to anyone.

Lianshanguan is the closest military fort to Phoenix City under the control of the Liao State, and Lianshanguan is about 150 or 60 miles away from Phoenix City.

Lianshanguan is just a small hundred-household-level military fort, very small, but at this moment, Lianshanguan is crowded with more than 3,000 people at once, and it is very crowded, and it is very difficult to move a place in the fort.

More than 3,000 Liao cavalry were stationed at Lianshan Pass, waiting for the rain to subside, and marching on muddy roads in such weather was simply a living sin. Once again, the Liao army was disappointed, and despite their bitter prayers to the Immortal Heaven to stop this damn torrential rain, the rain continued to pour down on the earth.

As He Tengxiao expected, this time, the target of the Liao army's entry into the palace was not Jinzhou and Yingzhou, but Phoenix and Goryeo. These 3,000 iron cavalry were all carefully selected elites from the Liao army, and the purpose of their march was to surprise attack Phoenix City and cross the river to force land in Goryeo. The supreme commander of this iron cavalry is the three princes of the Liao State - Wanyan Haiya.

"We have been waiting here for three days, this rain will not be light, and it will not stop, give the order to go down, continue the march, we can't delay here any longer." Looking at the rain in the sky, Wanyan Hague instructed Achille. The Liao army was a surprise attack this time, and it paid attention to a quick battle, and the army did not carry a lot of Lang Cao.

"Yes." Achiller took the order and retreated.

After Achille withdrew, only he and Chen Yankai were left in the military tent.

"Your Highness's order was issued in time, we really can't wait any longer, we don't have much grain and grass this time, and if we wait any longer, I'm afraid that the grain and grass will be exhausted before we go out on the expedition." Chen Yankai agrees with Yan Haiya's approach.

"Sir's strategy is the great thing." Wanyan Haiya said with a smile, "Avoiding the edge of the Nanzhao army, attacking Phoenix City, and forcing the landing of Gaoli is a miracle that kills two birds with one stone, Mr. is my Zhiduoxing of Da Liao, and it is really my blessing to Da Liao to have Mr. here." ”

"Don't dare to be, Your Highness said this, it's really a torture minister." Manshu established the country, the Liao State was reformed based on the system of the Great Zhao Empire, and the process of sinicization was accelerated. "But it's a risky move."

"I, the Manshu tribe, came out of Changbai Mountain, and now I have established a country, and I have always been trying to survive in danger. No matter how dangerous the chess is, it has to go on. Wan Yan Haiya's expression was solemn.

The Liao State rose strongly, looked glamorous on the surface, and had the strength to compete with the Great Zhao Empire, but the Liao State was a country established on the basis of a half-agricultural and half-pastoral people, with a weak foundation and a shortage of strategic resources required, which seriously restricted the further expansion of the Liao State. As a high-level executive of Liao, Wanyan Haiya knows very well that Liao's domestic strategic resources have been squeezed to the limit. The Liao had to obtain more strategic materials from other places to meet the Liao's next expansion plan. If the Goryeo State can be taken and forced to pay tribute to the Liao State, the problem of the shortage of resources in the Liao State can be greatly alleviated.

"If this dangerous move is successful, after the autumn harvest, our Great Liao Army will be able to conquer Southern Zhao on a large scale. The current situation is very favorable to us, Peng Chaodong is ill, the He family is centrifugal, and the Huang family is the first rat at both ends, and I am very hopeful that Daliao will be able to take Liaodong within two years, and then take Liaodong as the foundation to look at the Central Plains! Chen Yankai is very excited.

"It's not about the Central Plains. I'm going to enter the Central Plains! Wanyan Haiya's hungry wolf-like eyes glowed with blazing light.
