A grey sky hangs over Dongnae County.

On the shore of the turbid waves crashing on the East China Sea, a ship flying the big flag of Zhao Zi stopped outside the port of Donglai County, and then put down a small boat on the boat and sailed to the shore.

In front of the port, two generals glanced left and right, and then came to the dock to greet them.

"See Zhao Guogui's envoy."

After the envoy landed on the shore, he smiled and said: "Don't dare to be, it is Zhao Xin, a scholar from Zhao Guozhong, and the two generals of Lao are waiting for him from afar." ”

The two generals smiled bitterly at each other, and one of them said: "The county guard is not cold at the moment, but for the people of Donglai County, it can be regarded as a dedication." Since the current King Zhao is willing to start Donglai County, I and the other two can be regarded as unburdened, and we are willing to assist with full power. ”

Zhao Xin nodded and said, "I'm here to help the two generals, I don't know how the thief army outside the city is attacking the city?" ”

A general said: "It doesn't stop for a day, but I'm just struggling now, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to support it for a few days, I don't know how many reinforcements your envoy brought this time?" ”

Zhao Xin smiled and said, "There are two thousand people and horses on the road, and it is estimated that they will arrive in three days." ”

The two generals glanced at each other when they heard this, they thought that Zhao Guo's attack on Wendeng could be exchanged for powerful reinforcements, but they did not expect that the Zhao army would only send 2,000 men.

Another general complained in a low voice: "If I knew this, it would be better to descend to Tang." ”

Zhao Xin glanced at the general and did not speak. In his heart, he had a killing intent, but this person's city is so shallow. I'm afraid it's not something that can be done, but the other general is silent, but he doesn't know what he thinks in his heart.

Zhao Xin laughed and said: "What is the benefit of lowering the Tang Dynasty or not, I don't know, but the king has already rewarded the two generals, can you want to know?" ”

Sure enough, both of them showed a look of interest, and Zhao Xin immediately took out a document from his sleeve. Hand it to the two. The two glanced at each other, Zhao Xin knew that many generals were illiterate at this time, and without waiting for the two to read the documents, he said: "The king named the two of you as the general of the Tiger Guard, but you can shade the two sons, and the people are hundreds, as for the gold and silver cloth and silk, there are other rewards, not among them." ”

Both of them were overjoyed when they heard this. At that moment, they knelt down and bowed to the north, saying, "Thank you King Zhao for your kindness!" ”

It turned out to be a profiteer, and this is easy to do. Zhao Xin nodded, and immediately helped the two of them up and said: "Right now, the king is also from the Wendeng side, sending reinforcements here, and after the two reinforcements meet, add the soldiers and horses in the city. The enemy army outside the city will retreat in the face of difficulties. I also hope that the two generals will defend the city well, and if they are profitable, they will be rewarded again. ”

The two generals were overjoyed when they heard this, and their attitude towards Zhao Xin turned to be very attentive.

The three of them entered the city by boat through the gate of the water city. Zhao Xin asked, "Isn't it that the defense of the city is unusually tight?" Why are the two generals here to accompany me? ”

The two looked at each other. It's all about the heart right now, where is the opportunity to leave.

One of them said, "Yesterday and today are fine. If there is any military information, it will be reported. ”

Zhao Xin knew it in his heart, but he just smiled, and after the three of them got off the boat, they turned to ride horses and came to the county guard mansion together.

A general said: "Now that the county guard is dead, the only way to ask your envoy to stay in the county guard mansion is to have any orders, and the civil and military officials in the county can be dispatched." ”

Zhao Xin nodded, he came to Donglai County to take over the whole county on the orders of Li Chongjiu.

He entered the door first, immediately entered the identity of the county guard, and asked, "Have all the documents of the government treasury been sealed?" ”

"Yes. There are guards guarding it. One of them hurriedly spoke.

Zhao Xin asked, "How much grain and grass is there in the grain depot in the city?" ”

One person said: "It's probably enough for 10,000 horses to eat for a month." ”

Zhao Xin asked in surprise: "So little, isn't this place where the county is located?" Why is there so little money and food? ”

Another person complained: "It's really unreasonable, the soldiers are in chaos, the villages outside the city have been burned to an unknown number, where is there a place to collect grain, and this year it has been a waste to Liu Thief and others, and I don't know how many people will starve to death." ”

Zhao Xin nodded, passing by the main hall of the county guard's mansion, but saw that there was a mourning hall in the main hall, which was the spiritual seat of the former county keeper Qiao Jiao. The mourning hall was deserted, and no one came to pay their respects, except for a few widows, who were probably Qiao Jiao's widows, kneeling in the hall.

Zhao Xin glanced at it, and said in his heart Qiao Jiao is also a county guard, and he was also a prince during his lifetime, majestic and majestic, but he didn't expect to be so deserted after death, yes, at this time, the people in the city were panicking, and they were looking for a way out, who would come to pay tribute to him, the Great Sui Kingdom has been exhausted, this is a book from heaven, and it is really ridiculous for this person to sacrifice his life for this.

Just as Zhao Xin was about to walk by, he suddenly saw a woman kneeling in the hall just turning her face and pausing at the moment.

Zhao Xin said to the two generals: "Qiao Junshou is loyal to the country, and he needs to pay tribute to my lord." ”

The two generals were not very impressed, but they did not dare to disobey Zhao Xin's intentions.

At this time, Zhao Xin walked into the hall, knocked three times at the coffin and offered incense. Qiao Jiao's widow on the side was still crying, and Zhao Xin stepped forward and said: "Lord Qiao is loyal to the country, and he is really sighing when he dies now, it is Zhao Xin, a scholar from Zhao Guozhong, who came here to worship for King Zhao." ”

"It turned out to be Zhao Sheren, thank you." A woman who was supposed to be Qiao Jiao's wife replied.

Zhao Xin saw the woman's face clearly and asked, "Who is this young lady?" ”

"It's a little girl."

Zhao Xin nodded, looked at the woman with fixed eyes, and said, "It turns out that after the martyrs, I will tell King Zhao and compassionate your whole family." ”

The woman's eyes were clear, and she spoke: "Don't dare to bother King Zhao, we just want to support our father's coffin and return to our hometown in Chang'an, and we will not ask about the world from now on." ”

Zhao Xin was willing in his heart, and said at the moment: "It turns out that Qiao Junshou is a person from Chang'an, but the road to Jiangdu is difficult and dangerous, I need to tell King Zhao to make a decision again, and now I also ask Mrs. and Miss to stay in the mansion to ensure safety." ”

The other party said a few more words, but this family is all weak women, how can they say Zhao Xin, they can only obey the arrangement.

Three days later, reinforcements from Zhao's naval division arrived. Xu Wu, the governor of Zhuo County, led 2,000 township troops to go ashore in Donglai County. And Zhou Zhou led a thousand county soldiers out of Wendeng County, pretending to be suspicious soldiers all the way, as if there was a large army behind, the thief army outside the city saw the battle flag of the Zhao army fluttering outside the city, because of the fear of the current momentum of the Zhao country, the army could only retreat at the moment.

After the siege of Donglai County was lifted, the people in the city were all running to celebrate. And Zhao Xin and Zhou Zhou took advantage of the situation to lead the army and recover Donglai County and Hejun.

In the edict, Li Chongjiu asked Zhao Xin and Xu Wu to temporarily control Dongnae County, and at the same time allowed the Silla people to station naval troops in Wendeng County. Jin Chunqiu was overjoyed when he heard the news, and he had already returned to China by boat to report to the king of Silla, asking for more Silla sailors to come to Zhao to station.

Zhou Zhou had another task, coming to Ye County to check the naval warships.

After Zhou Zhou arrived in Ye County, the city had changed its appearance, Xu Wu took over the defense inside and outside the city, and the original two generals in the city had already been quietly relieved of their military power by Zhao Xin. The generals who said before that they were going to surrender to the Tang Dynasty were found by Zhao Xin and put in prison.

Now Donglai County is under the control of Zhao Xin and Xu Wu.

Zhou Zhou and Zhao Xin have always been not harmonious, and after the other party entered the office, he was already a member of the Zhongshu House of the Five Grades, and he was also on an equal footing with the county guard. Zhou Zhou is engaged in the county department of Jiupin, and he needs to pay homage when he meets with a disparity in status.

After Zhou Zhou entered the city now, he did not go to the county guard mansion to meet Zhao Xin, but came directly to the naval camp outside the city.

Now the naval camp of Donglai County, where Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Liaodong in the past, the scene of thousands of ships anchoring will no longer be seen. Since the famous generals of the Sui Dynasty Naval Army, Laihu'er, and Zhou Fashang died one after another, the Great Sui Naval Army has almost been disbanded. There were still many sailors in Donglai County, but they all went ashore and were organized into county soldiers by Qiao Jiao to help defend the city.

As for the condition of the ships in the port, these big ships that crossed the sea at the beginning of the expedition to Goguryeo were not used for several years, and after being attacked by waves and insects, many ships could no longer go to sea, and some of them also leaked here and there, and there were only about 100 of them that could really go to sea.

After Zhou Zhou figured out the situation, he immediately sought out Xu Wu and asked him to transfer all the original sailors of the county soldiers in the city and take a boat back to the mouth of the Sancha River to repair the boat.
