Back in the cabin, Zou You and Zou You huddled on a small table, spread out the march map, and carefully studied the terrain around Shenglong City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Zou You also interjected from time to time, and the fat man Lu, who was already unhappy, argued with him at the time. But the more they argued, the more frightened Fat Lu became. Although Zou You still lacks experience, all kinds of theories are true. Even many novel ideas were unheard of by him.

said that it was an argument, but in fact, Fat Lu was just relying on his sufficient experience and arguing with strong words. Zou You saw that he couldn't convince him, so he often left his point of view and stopped entanglement, making Fat Lu so boring. Gradually, the two of them stopped communicating and looked at each other.

And just like that, another three days passed.

On this day, Fat Lu got up early as always, wanting to watch the sunrise in the east on the sea again. Unexpectedly, when I looked into the distance, I suddenly saw a small black dot.

He called an old boatman and asked, "What's that little black dot?" ”

The old boatman's eyes are dizzy, where can he compare to the eyes of the fat man? I squinted my eyes for a long time before I saw a vague black dot. "General, this is the coast, we're going to the shore, we're going to the shore!" The old shipwright shouted excitedly, but he quickly became suspicious: "It's only been eight days, and it's time to get to Cochin?" Unlikely? ”

The other two old boatmen also gathered around, carefully observed the surrounding hydrology and scenery, and then said with certainty: "General, the border of Jiaozhi is ahead......

Lu Chenhuan was about to suffocate: "Okay, lean over, lean over!" ”

"Wait!"

A deep voice came from behind, and Fat Lu turned his head to see that it was the artillery instructor Zou You. "Zou Jiaoxi, what do you mix, you know how to sail?" Lu Fatzi hit Zou You mercilessly and said, "Don't talk nonsense here, listen to the words of the old boatman!" ”

Zou You sneered: "Although the front is the territory of Jiaozhi, it is not the river to Thang Long City. ”

An old boatman pondered for a while, and admitted the statement: "The general is right, there is only a flat land in front of him, and there is no great river flowing into the sea......"

Lu Chenhuan had read the map and knew that Thang Long City was located on the right bank of the Red River and at the confluence of the Red River and the Dun River, and since there was no river here, it was definitely not the Red River leading to Thang Long City. "Zou Jiaoxi, how do you know?" Fat Lu had to look at Zou You again.

"It's simple, calculated." Zou You took out the nautical chart and Sinan, and said seriously: "Determine the direction through Sinan, and then according to the nautical chart, find two things around that can determine the location, and face the long side of Sinan towards one of them, and two staggered lines can be formed, which can be marked on the map." The place where the two lines intersect is where we are. ”

Don't say that those old boatmen, even the fat man Lu listened to them like falling into the clouds. Zou You said with a smile: "Actually, this method is similar to your night stargazing to determine the location, but I use the stars as a map." The stars can only be seen at night, while the map can be seen anytime and anywhere, which do you say? ”

An old shipwright sincerely admired: "This method is good, with this method, no matter how far the sea is in the future, I am not afraid of getting lost......

Zou You said with a smile: "This method is also what you thought of first, but let's improve it for our Royal Military Academy." ”

Fat Lu was still a little depressed, and all the joy just now was gone: "How far is this place from the Red River?" ”

"Let's touch it for half a day!" Zou You looked at the nautical chart and said with some uncertainty.

Sure enough, at noon, when the sun was in the sky, I saw a large river not far away, which slowly merged into the estuary. Zou You said with a smile: "Haha, the Red River has arrived, and one day, you will be able to go upriver and go straight to Thang Long City!" ”

Lu Chenhuan was not so happy, and frowned: "Zou Jiaoxi, you are too happy, there are many ships on this sea, how can you get over?" ”

Zou You said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of, just hit it directly!" Which one who doesn't open his eyes dares to stop our boat? However, it is better to let the sailor hide a little tighter, and don't let people see the flaws...... "The Jiaozhi people also beg for food at sea, and the mouth of the Red River is a natural harbor, and it is normal for a large number of fishermen and merchant ships to be busy." As long as their fleet hides the sailors tightly and does not show their blades, although it is huge, it is not too eye-catching, at most they think it is a large caravan from Dashun to Thang Long City.

Of course, before entering the Red River, there will definitely be fast horses, all the way to Thang Long City, which is inevitable. Fortunately, Lu Fatzi had already prepared, and asked the soldiers to dress up as boatmen, and one to dress up as a businessman, and negotiate with the Jiaozhi people.

Half a day later, after a quick message, Li Rizun received the news, and his brows furrowed: "There is a fleet from Dashun and wants to trade in the Li Dynasty?" At this juncture, Dashun will send a fleet? This is a little wrong, could it be that the news of the troops has leaked? "Thinking about it, this is impossible, Taiwei Guo Qingri will only take six days to take command, and the sea route from Dashun to Jiaozhi will take at least ten days. Dashun needs to be unpredictable before he can send troops in advance, right?

"It's actually sent to the door, okay, I want to see how much gold and silver treasure is loaded on these sixty merchant ships!" Li Rizun had the intention of embezzling the goods, but he didn't know that the fat man Lu in the carriage was also calculating him.

"Zou Dajiaoxi, what do you say about Li Rizun, will you be fooled?" Fat Lu was a little bottomless in his heart, he had never dealt with Jiaozhi people, and he was a little unsure.

Zou You pondered for a while, but before he could speak, the old boatman on the side said angrily: "The Jiaozhi people are the most important thing, relying on their border, they buy and sell by force, and there is no difference between them and robbers!" General, you're going to fight against Jiaozhi this time, right? It's time to crusade against them, and this group of white-eyed wolves who don't speak of faith and righteousness should be beaten hard! ”

These old shipwrights are not vegetarians, and they have long seen the intentions of Lu Fatzi and Zou You. They are right, this Jiaozhi people, that is, the Annan people (later generations of Yue and Nan people) as the imperial court said, are indeed a bit untrustworthy, greedy, and like to get something for nothing. And arrogant, thinking that the god is the eldest and he is the second. Such an arrogant person, where can he see Lu Fatzi's scheme?

Zou You smiled: "They want to rob? No, we're sending something to them! After that, he glanced at Fat Lu and laughed heartlessly, and the old shipwrights looked at each other, thinking that these generals of the imperial court had lost their minds and became crazy. (To be continued.) )
