Chapter 707: Down to the South of the River
"Teacher, I still want to go back." Qi Yancheng said to Liu Lan.
"In that case, I'll go with you to the North Sea, so that I can also strengthen the defenses of the North Sea." Liu Lan thought for a while and said, "You wait for a while, I'll go see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"So there is Teacher Lao." Qi Yancheng hurriedly said. He wanted to go back to Dengzhou, not only to help his father defend Dengzhou, but more importantly, to meet Li Xin, whether it was the same as the legend.
After half a ring, I saw Liu Lan with a smile on her face, walked back, and said: "Yancheng, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has agreed, we can go back now, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also sent five hundred cavalry to us to help us go back to defend Dengzhou." ”
"It's so good, I don't know who led the army?" Qi Yancheng said with some joy. Although he admires Li Xin more, but now he is under Li Jiancheng's subordinates, Li Jiancheng has the style of an elder, although he attaches importance to the family, but he is also extremely courteous to a place like Qiyancheng, so he heard that Li Jiancheng actually sent someone to help his father and son, and he was very grateful in his heart.
"Yu Wenbao, the general under the command of King Qi." Liu Lan said happily: "General Yuwenbao has the courage of ten thousand people, hehe, even your father is probably not his opponent." ”
"Is that the murderous Yuwenbao?" Qi Yancheng frowned a little, but his mood was much worse. Yu Wenbao's name is still very famous in Da Zhao, not only because he is strong in martial arts, but also because he is Li Yuanji's henchman, but more importantly, Yu Wenbao is lustful for killing, not only for his own enemies, but also for his own people.
Qi Yancheng hates this kind of person very much, but Li Yuanji doesn't care about this, as long as his subordinates can make war exploits for themselves. Everything else is never taken into mind.
"At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still counting on us! Thinking about it, this Yuwenbao won't be too much. Liu Lan persuaded him. He knew that Qi Yancheng didn't look down on Yu Wenbao, but since King Qi had already spoken, Liu Lan couldn't shirk it.
"Let's go!" Qi Yancheng also nodded, now Li Jiancheng still needs Qi Gongshun to serve him and block Li Xin's attack for him, so he will send Yu Wenbao forward. On the one hand, it is to strengthen the defense of Dengzhou, and on the other hand, it is also to monitor Qi Gongshun, lest Qi Gongshun surrender to Li Xin.
"Young Master Qi, you are coming too slowly, if you let it be placed in His Royal Highness the King of Qi, I am afraid it will be a military method." The two of them had just left the camp with an army of 10,000, and they saw a general with a gloomy face at the gate, holding a big knife, who was Yu Wenbao. His eyes were fierce, and he looked at people as if he were looking at a prey, which made people shudder.
Qi Yancheng's face was gloomy after hearing this, the other party was only five hundred, so naturally the speed of action was much faster, and there were 10,000 troops around him, and the speed of action was much slower, these were common sense. But when it came to Yu Wenbao, it became a mistake.
"I've been waiting for a long time." Liu Lan said with a smile. He believes that in the future, both Qi Gongshun and his son will be subordinated to Li Zhao. Yu Wenbao is a favorite general under Li Yuanji, offending Yu Wenbao is offending Li Yuanji, according to Li Yuanji's character of retribution, don't the Qi family father and son have to suffer a big loss?
"Well said, well said." Yu Wenbao glanced at the two of them disdainfully, with a smug look on his face. Turning the horse's head, he led five hundred cavalry and galloped away.
"Damn." Qi Yancheng is also a young master of the army, and when he saw such a appearance at this time, he was extremely angry in his heart.
"Childe. Forbearance is the best! This person is the confidant general of King Qi. Liu Lan hurriedly persuaded him.
"Let's go." Qi Yancheng's face turned red, he whipped his horse fiercely, and followed closely behind, heading towards Dengzhou, just as Liu Lan said, Yuwenbao is the person of the King of Qi, and if he wants to submit to Da Zhao, this shame must be endured.
Laizhou City, Li Xin easily entered it, Qi Gongshun did not have any defense in Laizhou, he did not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, if it was to defend two cities, it was undoubtedly impossible, so he could only concentrate his troops to defend Dengzhou.
"Qi Gongshun is still a capable person, I have passed through so many Shandong cities, and only Laizhou can be regarded as a little present." Li Xin looked at the surrounding markets, at least there were more vendors and more shops, which showed that Laizhou still had an urban atmosphere, which was much better than other cities.
"So Qi Gongshun's reputation in Shandong is still very good." Chu Suiliang also spoke.
"No matter how good your reputation is, if you can't see the general trend, you are also incompetent." Wei Chigong said disdainfully: "Seeing that the emperor is coming, I didn't know that I came to return to Shun, and I still wanted to defend Dengzhou, that is, I was looking for death." Your Majesty, don't look at Dengzhou, there are 10,000 people, give 10,000 horses to the ministers, and you can destroy Dengzhou. ”
"We only have 60,000 brothers, and they are all cavalry, how can we capture Dengzhou?" Li Xin shook his head and said, "It's almost time, we should go home." ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for us to go home this time, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are only three days away from us." Luo Shixin smiled bitterly.
"We are cavalry, and we will not attack Dengzhou City this time, they will not be able to catch up with us." Li Xin shook his head and said, "Qianqiu, how is the situation in the Dengzhou Navy Division's camp?" ”
"The big camp exists, and Qi Gongshun has also got hundreds of people to guard it, but the place is much more dilapidated, and many fishermen are fishing there. There are also quite a few battleships, most of which have been in disrepair for many years. Shen Qianqiu smiled bitterly: "If you transport one or two thousand people, it's okay, but if there are too many people, it won't work." ”
Chu Suiliang and the others' faces changed suddenly, if they couldn't transport 60,000 troops, what would they do in Dengzhou? However, they all glanced at Li Xin, and there was a hint of determination in their eyes, even if they died, they would send Li Xin back.
"I'm afraid that the elite sailors left by Emperor Wu back then have all been buried, it's a pity, it's a pity. This is my sailor! Li Xin sighed slightly after hearing this: "How difficult it is for me to train a sailor, not just to have a sailor warship. Back then, General Hu'er led an army of 200,000 to conquer Goguryeo, where is the hero now? ”
"As long as Your Majesty is here, where will there be no sailors?" Chu Suiliang hurriedly said.
"That's different, the process will speed up a lot, it's all about the damn Yu Wenhua, if General Laihu'er hadn't died, Dengzhou Sailor wouldn't have become like this." Li Xin said with a cold snort.
"Your Majesty, shouldn't you send someone to Dengzhou first to seize the naval warship? If Qi Gongshun is known, I am afraid it will be difficult to capture these warships. Chu Suiliang persuaded him.
"No, professional things must be done by professional people, we have captured the warship, can we walk on the sea?" Li Xin shook his head and said, "Actually, what I want most is to seize Dengzhou. Qianqiu, there must be a lot of craftsmen who are good at making warships near the Dengzhou Navy Battalion, and there are also some people who are good at water warfare, and your Jinyiwei's task now is to find these people, and when we capture Dengzhou, we will take them all away immediately. These people are a fortune! ”
"Yes." Shen Qianqiu had doubts for a while, but he didn't expect Li Xin to think about these things at this time, but Li Xin had orders, so he naturally had to obey them. In desperation, he had to answer and looked back at Chu Suiliang.
"Your Majesty, Qi Gongshun's son Qi Yancheng and strategist Liu Lan are leading an army of 10,000 and are heading towards Dengzhou." A war horse galloped behind him, and he saw Ji Gang sweating profusely, and said while running.
"Oh! Is Li Jiancheng starting to block me? Li Xin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked around and said: "The army will rest for an hour first, and the soldiers will bring enough food and grass for three days, and then set off immediately, we will destroy Qiyancheng first, capture Qiyancheng alive, open the gate of Dengzhou, hum, I want to see how Li Jiancheng comes to arrest me." ”
"Yes." The generals did not dare to slack off, and they received orders one after another.
"Lord Chu, you also heard the news just now, although there are sailors and warships in Dengzhou, but there are not many, and on the vast sea, there must be someone who knows how to sail in order to send His Majesty out safely, at this time, the emperor is looking for people who are good at boating around Dengzhou, is it too late." When Li Xin entered the mansion to rest, Luo Shixin pulled Chu Suiliang and said.
"What does the general mean?" Chu Suiliang couldn't help but ask.
"The last general will lead the army to pretend to be His Majesty, stick to Laizhou, and let His Majesty have more opportunities to leave Shandong." Luo Shixin said in a low voice.
Chu Sui's conscience shook for a while, and then he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty may not agree to the general's intentions, and besides, the lower officials think that this matter has not yet reached the last moment, Your Majesty may have been prepared, why should the general give up his life?" ”
"You said Your Majesty must have a backhand?" Luo Shixin asked in surprise.
"That's natural, if Your Majesty doesn't have a backhand, at this time, you are still in the mood to think about seeking Dengzhou, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops around here. The general just waited. Chu Suiliang laughed.
"Dengshan, I can't hide it from anyone!" Li Xinhaha laughed behind him, and saw Li Xinlong walking out and said, "Tell the soldiers, we have been staying in Shandong for a long time, and I want to invite you to go down to Jiangnan and go to Jiangnan to have fun." ”
"Down to Jiangnan?" Chu Suiliang's eyes widened.
"Yes, go down to Jiangnan. The sailors led by Qin Qiong, Kan Ling, and Wang Xiongdan should have arrived in Dengzhou. Li Xin laughed and said: "If I don't have three, two, three, how dare I go to Liangshan, then Li Yuan really thinks of me as a fool." I led an army of 60,000 to wreak havoc on Shandong, was it just to come out and have fun? It is to move Li Yuan's national capital, Li Yuan's hundreds of thousands of troops are dispatched, presumably there are a lot of losses, and I can still capture Xingyang, tsk, Li Yuan, it's a pity.
