There are a total of eleven counties in Liaodong County, although Liu Chuang has only occupied four county towns so far, but the impact is extremely far-reaching.

Tens of thousands of Liao troops in Xiangping became prisoners almost overnight.

At the same time, with the Liao team, Xiangping, and Pingguo occupied by Liu Chuang, the gateway to Liaodong has been completely opened by Liu Chuang.

And Gongsun Du was captured, which made Liaodong fall into the embarrassing situation of having no leader at once. Although Gongsun Du's eldest son, Gongsun Kang, was stationed in Xi'an Ping, Gongsun Kang's prestige and ability were really not a cause for concern compared to Gongsun Du. Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Du are different, just like a gentleman. Although in history, this person did take over Liaodong, but he was beaten by Goguryeo, which was several times weaker than him, and was powerless to fight back. Later, in desperation, he had to ask Cao Cāo for help, and with Cao Wei's army stationed in Liaodong, the Goguryeo Rebellion was quelled. However, at that time, Cao Cāo chose to appease Goguryeo and did not exterminate Goguryeo.

This also caused Goguryeo to rise rapidly at a time when the Five Hu Rebellion and the Northern and Southern Dynasties were in turmoil, and it became a problem for the henchmen of the Han family.

Of course, Liu Chuang will not repeat the mistakes of the past.

However, the current situation did not allow him to consider the issue of Goguryeo, because at the time of the Liaodong Rebellion, he personally commanded the navy and arrived at Lao Tieshan.

Liaodong has already been in the chest, and there is no need for Liu Chuang to bother.

What he has to do now is to completely defeat Guan Hai's subordinates so that they will no longer be a problem for his henchmen.

For this reason, Sima Yi prepared for a long time, changed his name to Zhou Cang, and changed the five building ships under his command to the appearance of merchant ships, constantly going back and forth between Donglai and Shijiutuo. It was snowing, and Sima Yi believed that Guan Cheng would definitely take advantage of the freezing of Liaodong Bay to raid passing merchant ships.

Especially as the war in Liaodong unfolds, Guan Cheng's attention will also be distracted.

According to Sima Yi's psychological speculation about Guan Cheng, Guan Cheng would feel that Liu Chuang must be unable to track down his whereabouts at this time, and it was also the safest period for him. After all, Liu Chuang sent the navy to blockade Liaodong Bay before, which caused huge pressure on Guan Cheng. The Donglai thieves have not been dispatched for a long time since the last sneak attack on Shijiutuo. As a result, there will inevitably be a shortage of materials for the Yu family.

"I believe that Guan Cheng will not be able to bear it."

Standing in the finch room, Sima Yi was full of confidence.

And Liu Chuang stared at the sand table in the sea area and didn't say a word.

Xue Wen, who was heavy on filial piety, stood beside Sima Yi, looking like he was leaping and trying.

After a while, Liu Chuang said: "Zhongda, Yuanfu, has you successfully landed on the side?" ”

Sima Yi said: "Cousin, don't worry, Yuanfu has already landed and infiltrated the Yu clan three years ago...... Moreover, I have commanded him to receive him into the city, and I must be ready now. Just wait for the tube to go to sea, and Yuanfu will act with it. This time it was a well-planned one, and there would be no room for error. ”

This is also the biggest difference between Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang will never say anything full, let alone say absolute words......

Sima Yi, on the other hand, is relatively more conceited, and he also expresses Xiàn vividly in his words.

However, Liu Chuang did not reject Sima Yi's conceit.

As a general, how can you not be conceited?

This time, he is determined to clean up Guan Cheng, because Liu Chuang Liao is about to enter Liao, if he can't clean up Guan Cheng, sooner or later he will become Shi Jiutuo's henchman. Although the stone mortar dock is heavily guarded, once Liu Chuang enters Liao, Gan Ning's navy will inevitably leave.

There are still two pirates in Liaodong, and the strength of the Changcen thief and the cicada thief is far superior to that of the Donglai thief.

Liu Chuang needed Gan Ning's navy to be stationed in the Yu clan to contain the forces of the Changcen thieves and the cicada thieves, so that they could not support Gongsun Kang.

In this way, Liu Chuang will inevitably be unable to take care of the sea area of Liaodong Bay.

The Shijiutuo dock is an important institution valued by Liu Chuang. Even if the coast is heavily guarded, it will eventually prevent attacks from the sea.

As the saying goes, there is only a thousand rì to be a thief, how can there be a thousand rì to prevent thieves?

Therefore, this management has become Liu Chuang's confidant.

Its danger hài Cheng dù, even surpassed that of the Karasuma people.

"Have you ever found out when Guan Cheng will go to sea?"

"It's just a few rì!" Sima Yi thought for a moment and replied: "According to the news from the Yu family, due to the early snow at the beginning of this year, the material preparation of the Yu family is not sufficient. In addition, my cousin sent people to blockade the bay before, which also caused a shortage of grain and grass materials.

Since these rìzi, I have constantly ordered merchant ships to pass by Lao Tieshan, believing that the management will not last long. ”

"Very good!"

Liu Chuang couldn't help but praise: "Zhongda has done a very good job, and he must do his best to lead the tube."

We don't have much time, and I'm going to Xiangping soon...... Previously, Kong Ming was caught off guard by the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, but failed to eradicate Gongsun Kang. If my guess is correct, after Gongsun Kang reacts, he will definitely take action. I don't want this war to drag on for too long, the battle of Liaodong must end before the opening of the chūn, and I don't want the war to affect the opening of the land in the coming year. ”

At this moment, Zhuo Ying hurriedly ran from Feilu to the bird room.

"Childe, I just got the news, Guan Cheng is dispatched!"

"Oh?"

When Sima Yi heard this, he suddenly shook his head.

"How many ships did the management dispatch?"

"A total of five sea ships, about two thousand pirates."

Liu Chuang's eyes narrowed, and he said softly: "This is almost out of the nest...... Very well, continue to investigate, and inform Bohou as much as possible, ordering him to be sure to drag the pirate after seeing him. We must not use the clapstick to expose our hiding before we close the fence. ”

"Whoa!"

Zhuo Ying took the order and left, Liu Chuang's eyes fell on Sima Yi first, and then looked at Xue Wen.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Yuan Dynasty! ”

"Whoa!"

"It will be up to you to command this naval battle and avenge your father."

Xue Wen's body trembled, revealing excitement.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his feelings.

"Don't worry, Childe, Wen will not let go of the dog thief!"

Although Xue Wen is young, he has never been a pirate. But after all, he was born in the den of pirates in Yuzhou Mountain, and he is no stranger to naval battle command. Even when Xue Zhou was a pirate, he mainly raided the coast and landed for operations. But he also has a lot of experience in how to fight at sea. Naval battles in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, especially those of large ships, were mainly based on collisions and boarding of ships. How to navigate the sea, how to collide, and how to board a ship to fight, are the main modes of naval warfare in this era. If it is purely based on the command technology of sea navigation, Xue Wen can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business.

For this naval battle, Xue Wen has been waiting for a long time.

Now that Liu Chuang ordered him to command, Xue Wen was naturally very surprised in his heart.

"Cousin, Yuan Dai he ......"

Sima Yi was a little nervous, after all, Xue Wen was not very old, and he was not very relieved.

If this battle was commanded by Gan Ning or Zhou Cang, Sima Yi would be very relieved...... But if Xue Wen is allowed to command, it will be a bit reckless.

Liu Chuang said with a smile: "Zhong Da rest assured, I believe that at this time in the Yuan Dynasty, he will be more sober than ever." ”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Liaodong wind and snow have stopped.

With the capture of Xiangping, Liaodong County suddenly became extremely calm.

Gongsun Kang did not immediately launch a counteroffensive and did not move his troops in Xi'an. An undercurrent is surging in the land of Liaodong...... Almost everyone knows that this calm cannot be maintained for long. Gongsun Kang will definitely not sit idly by and watch Liu Chuang occupy Liaodong, and will definitely make a move.

In fact, Gongsun Kang's move, which can be guessed by the whole, is nothing more than contacting Goguryeo and Buyeo to join forces.

This also made the counties in eastern Liaodong not respond immediately, but waited for Gongsun Kang's next action.

But Chun Yuqiong felt very annoyed!

He felt that his pure heart had been deceived by Liu Chuang.

Since you are going to Liaodong, why bother to make such a big move in Liaoxi, and almost involve the entire Youzhou?

However, he was helpless about it.

Gongsun Du was captured and Xiangping was lost, but it was too sudden, and Chun Yuqiong was not given a chance to react at all.

By the time he got the news, half of Liu Chuang's troops had already entered Liaodong. At this time, Su Fuyan and Lou Ban of Yiwu Lushan jumped out and clearly expressed their support for Liu Chuang's stationing in Liaodong, which made Chun Yuqiong suddenly understand: He has lost the best opportunity to suppress Liu Chuang!

At this time, even if he asks Badon to send troops again, I'm afraid Badon will not be willing.

After all, Chun Yuqiong had helped Liu Chuang suppress Badun before, how could Badun be comfortable in his heart?

If there was no matter of Su Muyan, it would be impossible to say that he would have obeyed the order and looked for Liu Chuang's trouble...... But it was Su Fuyanlou's statement that made Bang Dun feel tricky. He didn't know what the attitude of Su Muyan and Lou Ban would be if he sent troops again at this time?

Liu's incursion into Liaodong made Su Fuyan and Lou Ban firm their position.

Yang Le consulted, so that there was a gap between Bang Dun and Yuan.

In turn, Liu Chuang took advantage of the intricate relationship between Badun and Yuan, Su Muyan and others to complete the checks and balances in western Liaoning, and at the same time deter eastern Liaodong. In short, Liu Chuang's layout of killing three birds with one stone on the land of Liaodong has made him have a firm foothold in Liaodong. Although Chun Yuqiong had the intention to teach Liu Chuang a lesson, firstly, Liu Chuang had stabilized the situation, and secondly, with the battle of Yuan Cao about to begin, Chun Yuqiong had to be afraid of three points...... Because he doesn't know, if he makes a move, what kind of attitude Liu Chuang will have?

As soon as he provoked turmoil in Youzhou again, Chun Yuqiong couldn't afford it.

Therefore, Chun Yuqiong could only grit her teeth and suppress the anger in her heart......

The Bohai Strait, which connects the Yellow Sea to the east and the Bohai Sea to the west, is the natural dividing line between the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea.

Its unique geographical location forms a navigable waterway for ships, as well as a navigable navigation gate connected to the outer seas. On the map of China in later generations, the Bohai Strait is located at the throat of the rooster, surrounded by the C-shaped coast of the Liaodong Peninsula and the Shandong Peninsula, and surrounded on three sides.

After the wind and snow, the sun is shining.

Two thousand-stone sea ships are sailing slowly along the Bohai Strait.

Judging by the flags planted on the sea vessels, they are two merchant ships...... The sea ship moves very slowly, and it can be seen that the cargo on the sea ship should be extremely rich.

Du Yi stood in the finch room, raising his eyes to look out at the sea.

This is also the first time since he joined Liu Chuang that he commanded soldiers and horses.

He was a little nervous and a little excited at the same time.

Over the years, he has experienced too many hardships and setbacks, and he was already disheartened, but he didn't want to have another chance to lead his troops.

If the task can be completed well this time, I believe it will not take long for Liu Chuang to be reused.

No matter what he thought before, but now, he is full of confidence.

Taking a deep breath of cold air, Du Yi clenched the sword in his hand.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a frightened shout from Feilu: "Mr. Du, in the direction of the ugly time, there are sea ships approaching. ”

Du Yi's body shook up, and he immediately withdrew his thoughts, walked quickly to the railing, and raised his eyes to watch.

On the horizon, five black dots appeared.

Although the shape was not clear, it was certain that it was a ship coming towards him.

Du Ji stabilized his mind and shouted: "Don't panic, continue to sail forward...... Pass my orders and get ready for wolf smoke.

In addition, the clapper hand is hidden from me, and you are not allowed to attack without my order. Let's move on, keep going, Hugh will take care of it. ”

"Whoa!"

The sailors on deck, in unison, agreed.

The two seagoing vessels continued along the established channel.

However, the five black dots became clearer and clearer, and five giant ships were approaching on the horizon.

"It's the Donglai thief!"

As the two sides got closer and closer, some sailors shouted loudly.

On board, there was a fluster.

The corners of Du Ji's mouth twitched, and he ordered: "Don't panic, don't panic, stabilize me." ”

He ordered the sea ships to speed up, and the five Donglai thief ships also increased their speed. The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer. I saw five Donglai thief ships coming in the wind and waves, and they had the posture of sinking the sea ships. At the same time, the pirates on the sea ship are also clearly visible.

Airplanes!

A rain of arrows hit.

This is also the most common method used by pirates.

Lacking the means of long-range attack, pirates on ships mostly attack and deter with bows and arrows.

Du Ji hurriedly ordered people to smoke wolf smoke at the stern. At the same time, the two ships were constantly urged to speed up, and from a distance, it seemed as if they were panicking.

Guan Cheng, standing on the deck of the sea vessel, showed a sneer.

"Boys, bump into me and get ready to board the boat...... Whoever is the first to board the ship shall be rewarded with ten gold. ”

The Donglai thief immediately let out a series of cheers, and the ship raised its sails and picked up speed again.

The closer the ship became, the calmer Du Qi became.

He continued to give the order to drive into the Bohai Bay, and in the distance, he faintly saw wolf smoke rising into the sky, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Turn the bow of the boat and meet me up." ”

The two ships suddenly stopped and crossed the sea.

At the same time, three clapping rods were erected on the ship, and the clappers quickly filled the canisters under the command of the command of the command flag. The outside of the oil tank is completely wrapped in hay. There was a clapper who lit a torch and lit a fire oil can, only to hear Du Yi's shout, and the six slapping rods of the two ships immediately threw six huge fireballs. The effective attack distance of the slap rod is about 300 meters. Hearing only two booms, two fireballs hit a sea ship, the oil tank shattered, and the oil inside immediately burned and spread rapidly.

The sea ship on which the management was riding did not rush to the front.

Seeing that the opponent suddenly attacked, he actually threw a huge fireball and hit his own ship, which made him stunned......

How can it be!

Guan Cheng's face suddenly showed a look of shock.

There is still a distance of three hundred meters, how can the other side throw such a weapon?

Could it be that the ship is also equipped with a stone truck?

However, before he could react, he saw three sea ships coming around behind the island behind him.

There was a flying bear on the bow of the boat, Guan Cheng was no stranger to it, and he recognized it at a glance that it was Liu Chuang's department......

"Oh no, fooled!"

Guan Cheng shook his spirit, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

However, when he saw that the other party only had five sea ships, he immediately relieved himself.

"Put it on for me!"

Before his shout fell, Du Ji's ship in the distance suddenly turned around, and six fireballs rose into the air again, four of which hit the original ship that had already been hit. The fire exploded, and the entire ship was engulfed in flames in an instant.

The pirates on the ship, frantically jumping from the sea ship into the sea.

However, the sailors on the ship did not let each other go, and as the ship turned around again, a row of archers appeared on the bow deck.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Buzz, a row of arrows rained out, and a series of terrible screams echoed on the sea.

At the same time, the three sea ships that surrounded them from the rear also issued nine canisters of fire oil. Nine huge fireballs, like nine rounds of scorching sun falling on the sea, seven of the fireballs hit a sea ship not far from the tube bearing ship, and suddenly the flames were steaming and thick smoke billowed out.

The two sides have not yet clashed, and the Donglai thieves have lost two sea ships in succession.

Guan Cheng was also stunned at this time, standing in the finch room, his brain was blank for a while......

Finished!

Such a fierce sea attack was unheard of by Guan Cheng.

Liu Chuang was able to place the catapult on the sea ship, and he had the absolute upper hand.

Fortunately, Guan Cheng is not a novice rookie, and he reacted quickly, and commanded the boat in a loud voice: "Don't panic, everyone, lean over for me, as long as they take over the broadside, they are not opponents." Sea fish, green snake, stop them for me, let's rush from the front. ”

It's just that the offensive of the Han army's sea ships is very fierce, and the pirates have lost two sea ships in succession without a fight, and they have no fighting spirit.

The two sides kept changing their routes on the sea, and Xue Wen stood in the finch room, issuing orders one after another, borrowing the attack power of the slapping rod to constantly attack the pirate ship.

Finally, when another sea ship was engulfed in flames, the ship in charge finally approached the Flying Bear.

Two huge ships collided violently on the surface of the sea, and the two ships trembled violently at the same time...... According to the custom of pirates, when the two sides have crossed sides, they have to rush to board each other's ships. However, the pirates lost three ships in succession, and the pirates on board were already a little panicked. The well-practiced boarding action in Ping rì couldn't be done for a while. On the contrary, from the Flying Bear, a majestic man jumped out.

The man held a sword in his hand and jumped into the pirate ship.

The two pirates reacted, and stepped forward with their knives to stop them, but saw the big man let out a loud roar of thunder: "Guan Cheng, Yingchuan Liu Chuang is here, and you are waiting for the thieves, if you don't surrender with me immediately, let alone when." ”

The roar was like a thunderbolt.

After Liu Chuang ran into the sea ship, he twisted his body in steps, and with a slash of his knife, he split a pirate in half.

A puddle of blood, under the bright sunshine, exudes an incomparably strange atmosphere...... (To be continued.) )
