The blue-black Bohai Sea is rough and rough.

The turbid waves slapped against the boat holding the horns, the Zhao flag fluttered in the wind, and countless Zhao warships split the wind and waves and rode the wind.

The sea breeze hunts, and the remnant sun is like blood. Under the sunset, between the ups and downs of the sea wolf, the figure of the battleship dragged for a long time.

Li Chongjiu stood on the ship, looking at his fleet crashing into the waves, European civilization in this era is still obscure, there is no doubt that the fleet he commands in front of him is the most powerful naval force on the earth. Among them, there were three five-story warships, a hundred four-story warships, and countless ships and clippers, thus forming the largest expeditionary fleet.

The battleship headed straight east, and the small islands ahead were dotted.

"Your Majesty, not far ahead is the town of Duli, where our army can replenish fresh water and repair ships, and it is only half the way from Pyongyang." Xue Wanche said to Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu shook his head and said: "No, the target of Duli Town is too big, and Goguryeo has set up a beacon tower nearby to watch, if he sees the reality of our warship, it won't take a few days for Pyongyang to know the news of our army's attack across the sea." ”

Li Chongjiu pointed to the islands in the sea in front of him and said, "In front is Shamen Island, the land of Gulaiyi. After the defeat of General Go'er in Pyongyang, he set up a military camp on Oohu Island on this archipelago and used it as a springboard to capture Beisha City. This time I attacked Goguryeo, and I had already ordered Zhou Zhou to send someone to set up a transit dock here. From here, the attack on Pyongyang is closer than that of Tengju and the town of Tori, and it is more hidden. ”

Zhang Xuansu, Xue Wanshu and others couldn't help but be impressed when they heard Li Chongjiu's arrangement so carefully.

The battleship slowly sailed to Wuhu Island, and several warships with Zhaozi warships came from the island. Embarked on board Lee Chong-koo's flagship.

It was Zhou Zhou and Zhou Bo who boarded the ship. Zhou Zhou told Li Chongjiu: "Your Majesty, there is already enough fresh water on Wuhu Island. The army is ready to be restocked. In addition, Wechen has opened a sheltered dock for the fleet to rest. ”

Zhou Bo said to Li Chongjiu: "Your Majesty." The three maritime merchants of Zhao, Zhou and Wu had already transported 20,000 stone of military rations to the island for the army's requisition. The three families also sent old boatmen who were familiar with the waters of Goguryeo, as well as 1,000 merchant ships to escort them, and 20 merchant ships to guide the former army and pave the way for His Majesty to open the bridge. ”

Li Chongjiu smiled when he heard this: "Merchant ships can pave the way for me to open bridges, so what is the use of the navy that wants me?" ”

Zhou Bo was shocked when he heard this, thinking that the merchant ships had been jealous of Li Chongjiu by raising force. Zhou Bo said: "Your Majesty, they are a heart to serve the country." ”

Li Chongjiu asked rhetorically: "Are all the three businessmen here?" ”

Zhou Bo lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty and they have already come, and they dare not board the ship until they have been summoned by Your Majesty." ”

"Let them get on board."

After speaking, the three bows of the ship all boarded the ship. The heads of the three maritime trade merchants of Zhao, Zhou and Wu are all very young. The Zhao family is a maritime merchant supported by the Zhao family of Zhuo County, and has a family background. The Zhou family is Zhou Bo's cousin, which is an industry of the Zhou family, a business giant of the Zhao State, and the Wu family is an emerging maritime businessman.

Li Chongjiu also knows something about the three of them.

Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "The country has something to do, and you are businessmen. But he bravely served the country, and this spirit is commendable. ”

The three of them said together, "This is within my share of the matter." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "I founded the Great Zhao Naval Division and built a hundred warships, not to cross the Bohai Sea. Dealing with a mere Goguryeo, to the east of Goguryeo, there is Silla. Baekje, Tamna. The Wa Kingdom, where there was even a larger territory than the Central Plains. It's all up to me to explore. ”

When Li Chongjiu said this, the three of them were all bright-eyed, and Li Chongjiu outlined a vision for them.

"To open up the sea frontier, relying on my fleet is far from enough, and I will continue to borrow in the future."

"Willing to work for His Majesty."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Okay, bring the flag." Bestow on three. ”

After awarding the flag, Li Chongjiu said: "I allow you to fly the flag of Zhao ** when your merchant ships enter and leave the sea in the future, and if you attack your merchant ships, it will be regarded as a provocation to our Great Zhao State." ”

The three of them looked at each other and bowed gratefully. Li Chongjiu said: "I also gave you the position of captain of the navy, this time I will send troops, although it will be the vanguard of our army!" ”

"No, Your Majesty!"

Zhao's navy rested overnight on Salmon Island to replenish fresh water supplies and repair ships. The next day, the army sailed to Pyongyang in full condition.

On this day, however, the boatmen in front reported that rain clouds had appeared in front of the fleet. The fleet has been out for several days, and it is too late to return to Duli Town to take shelter from the rain. Li Chongjiu immediately asked the old bow of the merchant fleet about this, and the old bow told him that it was almost winter, and there would never be a typhoon at sea, and such rain clouds were generally showers and would not last long, and they were often encountered when driving in the past.

Li Chongjiu listened to the words of the old bow and immediately ordered the fleet to move on. After the afternoon, it hit a rain cloud, and the heavy rain came as scheduled. Under the pouring rain cover, the rain washed over the deck, and the battleship tossed up and down in the waves.

"Your Majesty, it's dangerous on deck."

"I know."

Li Chongjiu stood in the porthole and watched, the heavy rain like splashing ink, the sky and the earth were vast, and even the sea was dark. Li Chongjiu's ears were full of crackling sounds, his flagship was shaking, and it was very difficult to even stand.

Now the Zhao fleet rises and falls on the sea, sometimes being brought to the top of the waves, sometimes sinking to the bottom of the waves. Wave after wave fell head-on on the warship. If it weren't for the re-reinforcement of ships on Salmon Island, I am afraid that many ships in the fleet would have been damaged in this rainstorm.

Li Chongjiu felt the turbulence of the ship's hull at all times, and the ten merchant ships in the front seemed to be crumbling, but the hazy and bright lights on the ship clearly pointed out the direction for the rear fleet in the strong wind and rain.

In the cabin at night, Li Chongjiu and Zhang Xuansu drank alcohol.

Zhang Xuansu said: "It's raining heavily outside, what do you think?" ”

Li Chongjiu said: "Good down." ”

"Why do you say that?"

"The heavier the rain falls, the less the Goguryeo people believe that I will send troops at this time, so my chances of victory will be greater."

Zhang Xuansu couldn't help but be pleased when he heard this, and poured another glass of wine for Li Chongjiu at the moment.

The two of them were caught in the morning.

Zhang Xuansu raised his glass and said, "The rain outside seems to be getting smaller. The boat wasn't as bumpy as it was. ”

"Really?"

"Majesty, majesty, I see 6 places ahead!"

"What?"

At that moment, Li Chongjiu and Zhang Xuansu both rushed to the deck in surprise and joy, but when they saw that it had rained all night, it was already small, and the sky was no longer as dignified as lead, but slightly bright.

The wind and waves are also much lighter, and more importantly, there is a lush 6 places in the distance.

More and more Sergeant Zhao soldiers rushed to the deck, and they couldn't help but cheer when they saw the scene.

Zhang Xuansu couldn't help but be moved, and his eyes were slightly wet and said to Li Chongjiu: "Your Majesty, we have succeeded, and Pyongyang is ahead!" ”

"I know." (To be continued......)
