It was effortless to get Jingle County, as well as the elite of the two thousand Song army, which made Li Chongjiu feel happy.

But at present, Li Chongjiu's energy is mainly still in the plot against Liu Heimin's generals, and how to curb Li Tang's increase in troops in Shandong Province, and the offensive of Xiangyu Wenhua and Movement.

Zhang Xuansu has been going on this matter recently, but how specifically, Zhang Xuansu did not personally report to Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu was convinced that Zhang Xuansu's actions had his reasons, so he did not send people to urge, and as for curbing Li Tangshan Shandong, Li Chongjiu also had a strategy in his chest.

Wen Yanbo said again: "King Qiqi, there is another matter, Zhou Bo, the county guard of Beiping County, said that Tang Feng Dengzhou Governor Chun is in trouble, as well as Li Tang Beihai Governor Qi Gongshun, and Shang Shulang Liu Lan, from Beihai County two roads together to attack Donglai County. ”

"Donglai County?" When Li Chongjiu heard this, he said, "Isn't this place the place of the Sui Water Army? ”

Wen Yanbo said: "Exactly, when the Great Sui attacked Goguryeo, Zhou Fashang was the general of the navy, leading more than 500 sea ships, and since then he has raised troops and marched straight to Pyongyang. At present, there are still 100 sea ships in this place, all of which are big ships left behind to attack Goguryeo. ”

"Sea boats!" Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be moved, at present, the Great Zhao Navy has more than 20 river boats converted into sea boats, and the boats are small and do not pass the waves, and only the Silla sea ships in the golden spring and autumn can go back and forth between Silla and the mouth of the Sancha River.

At present, Li Chongjiu is in Duli Town, and the Sancha River estuary has been docked and built as a port, from the Sancha River estuary, to Duli Town, and then to Silla Dangxiang City (Note 1), it has formed a preliminarily prosperous sea shipping route, and there is even a southern island Yizhi country this year. The Hu people of Tamna (Note 2) arrived in water boats.

And Silla transports sandalwood bows, bezoars. Ginseng, kelp, fruit dismounted to Youjing, among which bezoar, ginseng has always sold well in Youzhou, and Youzhou tea bricks, Huaihuang wine, silk. Spices were also needed by the Silla people. In fact, not only that, Goguryeo imposed a border blockade on Silla in order to conquer Silla.

Therefore, for the cattle and sheep leather on the grassland, it is also very popular in Silla, so Yujing has become a big transit place. The two sides of the sea trade exchanges, both of which have great needs for each other. It's just that the Goguryeo navy found out about the trade between Silla and Zhao. It was also a frequent dispatch to plunder merchant ships.

Li Chongjiu founded the country with business, and with Lin as the front, Zhou Bo was a businessman official, and he was also rising in the imperial court, forming a force. With the increase in the power of merchants, there was an incomparable desire for the circulation of trade routes. The naval army was stationed in the town of Duli to exterminate the Goguryeo naval army, which was quite the hope of merchants.

And this time, Zhou Bo told Li Chongjiu about Donglai County, which was not without purpose.

Hundreds of sea ships of the Great Sui attacked Goguryeo. There is also a good outlet to the sea in Donglai County, which is a mature port than the town of Zhiduli. Navy base. Even more critically, if Donglai County is captured, Li Chongjiu can surround Liu Heimin from the east, and make a good preparation for a large-scale attack on Liu Heimin in September this year.

Thinking of this, Li Chongjiu made up his mind and asked: "The county guard of Donglai County is in trouble, and Qi Gongshun is attacking, do you have any plans to ask for help from my Youzhou?" And if our army sends a navy to support Donglai County from the sea, how many men and horses will it take to resist Chun Yu's difficulties and Qi Gongshun's two-way attack? ”

Wen Yanbo said: "If you tell the county guard of Donglai County, the news will go back and forth, killing time, I'm afraid Donglai County will be broken a long time ago." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "You are right, the matter has come to this point, whether there is a chance or not, you must give it a try, and immediately order the naval army of Duli Town in Jin Chunqiu and the naval army of Beiping County to form a joint fleet and sail to Donglai County." ”

Wen Yanbo clenched his fists and said, "What should happen if the county guard of Donglai County refuses the king's kindness? ”

Li Chongjiu said: "There is only one step at a time, no matter what, I will show my navy and broaden the road to the East China Sea, and it will never be easier." By the way, I remember, when that scholar Zhou Zhou was engaged in that county department, right? ”

Wen Yanbo was stunned for a moment, and it was only after a long time that he remembered which one was Zhou Zhou, and said: "Weichen remembers that it is." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "I have almost trained him in the past year, this person is quite courageous, so I will use him as an envoy to Donglai County, I hope he can persuade Donglai County to guard it." ”

Wen Yanbo said immediately: "No, Weichen will go to issue an edict." ”

Li Chongjiu's military order was conveyed to the Naval Governor's Mansion of Beiping County. Zhou Bo did not dare to slack off at the moment, and immediately mobilized in the local area, replenished the twenty ships of the navy with fresh water and grain, and requisitioned fishing boats. Zhou Bo was not a cadre at a loss, and prepared a qiē within two days, and also transferred 1,000 county soldiers to board the ship and go out with the ship.

Zhou Zhou traveled with the ship as an envoy, and the ships of the Zhao State Navy arrived in Duli Town in only two or three days.

When the army arrived at the town of Duli, they went ashore to rest and replenish supplies, and most of the county soldiers boarded the ship for the first time, and after they were on the sea, they could not even distinguish between east and west, north and south, and could not even walk. Jin Chunqiu immediately ordered the Silla soldiers to settle the Sui army ashore to live and rest.

After Zhou Zhou went ashore with the ship, he saw Duli Town, which was originally a tidal flat, but in the past six months, because of the prosperity of trade in Silla Youzhou, it has become a transit place, and the sea ships often replenish fresh water and repair ships on the ground, so it is a bit like a seaside fishing village.

The Silla Kingdom attaches great importance to the town of Duli, and this year it has moved 500 prisoners from the country to enslave and come to this island to serve, and the Governor's Mansion of the Youzhou Navy also has a garrison of 100 people here.

After arriving, Zhou Zhou saw Jin Chunqiu, the prince of Silla, and to his surprise, the prince of Silla spoke fluent Chinese.

Zhou Zhou was relegated to Beiping County for many days, and the arrogance of the scholar at the beginning was reduced a lot, and the Silla prince was willing to come to this poor island to live a life of hard labor when he was pampered in the country, which can be seen to be very different.

When Zhou Zhou said: "His Royal Highness the Prince......"

Jin Chunqiu stopped his hand and said, "There is no prince when you go out, so call me General Jin." ”

Zhou Zhou nodded and said: "This time, the king ordered us to send troops to Donglai County, which is an urgent life, dare to ask how many days are there from Duli Town to Laizhou County to Zhiye County?" ”

Jin Chunqiu said with a smile: "There are still a few days left in Zhiye County, I can't say." But if the town of Duli crosses the sea. It can reach 6 places in one day. ”

Zhou Zhou was surprised and asked, "Where can I arrive in one day?" ”

Jin Chunqiu said: "Wendeng! ”

Zhou Zhouhui said: "It's Wendeng County." At present, Chun Yu is in difficulty, Chun Yu is a clan in Donglai County, when the world was in turmoil, Chun Yu and Chun Yu Lang were in Wendeng to raise things, gathering clans to protect themselves. But now we want to support Ye County, not Wendeng County. ”

Jin Chunqiu said: "I also know a little about the situation in Donglai County, and Donglai County is in a difficult situation at the moment. Qi Gongshun attacked left and right, if we went directly to relieve the siege, the county guard of Donglai County would not necessarily accept our kindness. ”

"Even if the county guard of Donglai County agrees to our request and lets us enter Ye County, I'm afraid it will be a drop in the bucket, with our three thousand men and horses, how can we resist the siege of the two armies. It's better to take the risk of raiding Wendeng County, break all the way first, and then seek others. As far as I expected, Chun Yu was bound to lead a large army to surround the city of Yexian County, and the rear would be empty, and no one would have expected it. We're going to make a surprise attack on Wenden at sea, so it's going to be a success. ”

Zhou Zhou said: "This move is too risky. ”

Jin Chunqiu said with a slight smile: "If you want to take the chestnut from the fire, if you don't risk being injured by the fire, how can you succeed." ”

Zhou Zhou looked at Jin Chunqiu and asked, "How many men does General Jin have?" ”

Jin Chunqiu said: "I will dispatch ten warships, including three hundred Hualang warriors. Five hundred sailors can also go ashore at any time to fight. ”

Zhou Zhou thought about it, and he was not afraid to shoot the case at the moment: "In this way, according to General Jin's words." As long as we gain a firm foothold in Wendeng, it doesn't matter if Yexian is lost, King Zhao will definitely send a large army from the sea to take boats, and a steady stream of them will come from Youzhou. ”

Jin Chunqiu laughed and said, "I expected that King Zhao was a bold person, and it was really good." ”

After Zhou Zhou and Jin Chunqiu made a plan, the next day, the combined fleet of Zhao Silla went to sea from Duli Town.

Zhou Zhou was invited to board the main ship of Jin Chunqiu.

Zhou Zhou couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw that the Silla fleet of the Golden Spring and Autumn was riding the wind and waves very fast, and he was left behind by the Great Zhao Navy, and asked, "Why are your Silla ships so much faster than the ships of our Great Zhao Navy?" ”

Jin Chunqiu said with a smile: "There are many reasons, first of all, the sailing veteran of the sailors on my ship, who has been at sea for many years, is naturally better than the sailors of the Great Zhao Navy, and the most important point is that your big Zhao boat can see the square head and square tail, the top is large, but the hull is flat underwater, while our Silla ship, the top is small, and the bottom of the ship is like a knife, so traveling under the water, it is naturally much faster than your ship?" ”

Zhou Zhou was even more surprised when he heard this, whether it was in the river or in the sea, the Great Sui shipbuilding was a flat-bottomed sand boat, and the flat-bottomed boat was not afraid of shallow water and was easy to board6.

Zhou Zhou asked: "You said that the bottom of your ship is like a knife, are you so afraid of the ship running aground?" ”

Jin Chunqiu said with a smile: "As long as it is a habitual sea route, we are not afraid, we have been walking this route for a long time, so we are not afraid." ”

Zhou Zhou nodded when he heard this, and the joint fleet of the two countries traveled for a long time, and saw several islands in the sea, a series of pearls, hanging in the sea. Zhou Zhou didn't know the geographical advantage, and he was surprised at the moment, how could there be these two ways.

Jin Chunqiu was enthusiastic, pointing to the island in front of him and said: "Ahead is your Sui people's Daxie Island, Wuhu Island (Note 3). ”

Zhou Zhou asked, "How does General Jin know?" ”

Jin Chunqiu said: "This is the only way for you to go to sea in the east of the Great Sui, in the past, when your Sui army invaded Goguryeo, it was from here, and there was a dock on the island to store grain, a few years ago, my Silla envoy came to pay tribute at this time, and the Sui army warships cruised, but now there are none, but you don't have to worry, we are about to turn to the east, this is not our place." ”

Speaking of this, Jin Chunqiu pointed to a vast sea to the east and said, "In half a day, when the sun is almost set, we will arrive at Wendeng." ”

Zhou Zhou looked at the vast sea to the east and nodded slightly.

Note 1: Dangxiang City is today's Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, Hwasa City.

Note 2: The Tamna Kingdom is today's Jeju Island, and due to its weak national strength, the Tamna Kingdom paid tribute to the Wa Kingdom in the east and Baekje in the west, but it was still a semi-independent kingdom.

Note 3: The "Reading History Fangyu Minutes" records that Wuhu Island and Da Xie Shu are both the main roads for the destruction of Dongyi, which is located in today's Changdao County, Shandong, that is, the Miaodao Islands.
