There is nothing new in the sun, and this is true.

For example, the romantic strategic idea of "crossing the sea to find an alliance between the northern country and attacking the enemy country up and down" is actually not a new idea - this plan is in line with the basic diplomatic logic of long-distance and close attack, and naturally some people have made similar calculations.

For example, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the artist Li Jing.

As the father of the famous artist Emperor Li Houzhu, Li Yu's artistic bacteria is obviously the result of perfectly inheriting his father's bloodline.

"The drizzle dreams back to the chicken, and the small building blows through the Yusheng cold."

"The blue bird does not pass on the message outside the clouds, and the lilacs are sad in the rain."

"There is no wild goose letter on the sand, and there are partridges crying among the bamboos from time to time."

……

Reading these delicate and melodious poems, his talent can naturally be seen - although he is slightly inferior to his son, he should be far better than Zhao Ji.

It was this artist emperor who was virtuous in Zhou Shizong for three years, "Chen Chuyao of the Ministry of Dispatch of Troops held a heavy coin and floated into the Khitan beggar army." The Khitan could not send troops for it, and left Yao unsent."

The Khitans refused to send troops, but they left the messenger and did not leave, probably because they felt that "you are quite bold, so just stay and do things for our wolf masters." ”

Time is long, and in a blink of an eye, it has been six years of peaceful rejuvenation.

This year, the suspect of the axe and candle shadow, the actor of the lucky Xiao Zhou Houtu, a generation of car god Song Taizong, in order to avenge the forced drag racing of Gaoliang River, wanted to enter the Khitan again.

But thinking of the tragic beating of Gaoliang River, he also came up with the idea of attacking from two sides, and the object chosen by the car god was Bohai Kingdom.

The Balhae Kingdom is also a small country in the north of Goryeo. The Khitan once attacked its Fuyu City and changed it to "Dongdan Mansion", which was regarded as the enemy of the Khitan, but the Che God did not regard the other party as an equal ally, "Give the Bohai King an edict and order to send troops to respond to the king's division." ”

The god of the car generously promised, "On the day of the destruction of Liao, the thistle soil will return to China and the DPRK, and beyond the desert, everything will be in harmony."

The great rivers and mountains are all for me, and beyond the desert, they are all for you.

The people of the Bohai Sea are not stupid, and they don't even pay attention to it - Shi Zai, "There is no one in the Bohai Sea." ”

Five years later, in the third year of Yongxi (986), the car god repeated his old tricks, and sent people to cross the sea to find an alliance, this time the target was Goryeo, and the attitude was still condescending, "Ordered to send troops to the west." "After all, it's a vassal state, and there's nothing wrong with being arrogant, but Goryeo is blindly perfunctory, and he can't get it.

After another eight years, four years to the Chunhua, the Khitan invaded Goryeo, Goryeo rolled all over the ground, remembered the car god invited the past, resolutely decided to send troops to attack, sent people to the Southern Dynasty to meet and attack the Khitan, but at the age of fifty-five, the old and sick car god has long since lost his original ambition, sighed, and refused gloomily - "To the north of Fu Ning, do not move lightly, for the country, but give the edict to comfort, generous gifts to send it back." ”

Now the wheel of history is rolling, and it is finally the turn of the successor to the title of art emperor, the grandson of the car god, the painter Zhao Ji, to realize this great idea of cross-sea alliance.

The first year of Chonghe, November 20th.

Dengzhou Penglai coastal place, there are cliffs more than 20 zhang high, the stones are ochre red, sudden to the north, named Tian Hengshan also, because when Chu and Han contended, Qi Wang Tian Hengtun soldiers are here, so it is named.

Tianheng Mountain is also known as Dengzhou Cape, because it is located in the extreme north of Qilu, so it is also known as the old North Mountain.

If you go north from this mountain to the southernmost headland of Liaodong, draw a straight line of two or three hundred miles, that is, the boundary between the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, the so-called "one mountain divides two seas", the legend of the Shamen Island to escort the criminals to go, that is, near the left.

Two years after Song Taizu Jianlong, the Jurchens continued for several years, from Liaodong to Su County to Dengzhou to sell horses, because of the large number of horses transported, Jianlong four years, Taizu specially issued an edict, so that "the residents of Shamen Island in Dengzhou rented, so that the Zhuan Zhuan Gong Gong Ma of Zhoudu was governed." ”

Ma Zheng stood on Tianheng Mountain, pointed to the north, and said loudly: "Princess, what my hand is referring to, that is, the route of Jurchen sales in the past, Goryeo tribute, is also along this road, we will go north from here, arrive in Liaodong in one day, travel 3,000 miles north, and we can find the emperor of Jin!" According to the cardinal payment, give gifts, describe the past years when they came to Dengzhou to sell horses, in order to show the old good, and then pass on the official family to proclaim the edict, and then we can adapt to the situation, mention the matter of joining forces to destroy Liao, and see what he means. If the Jin people are also interested, we can return with honor, and the court will send important ministers to discuss an alliance with him, and on the day of the destruction of Liao, we will all be heroes. ”

Everyone cheered when they heard this, but Cao Cao and the others only opened their mouths in response: On the day of the destruction of Liao, I am afraid that it will be when the Jin Kingdom goes south.

Ma Zheng didn't notice the strangeness of Cao Cao and the others, he was still in high spirits, and ordered his entourage to take wine and invite everyone to drink together - in addition to Cao Cao's twenty people here, Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing also had one or twenty servants, and dozens of elite soldiers in Dengzhou, as well as a high pharmacist who fled from the north, as a guide, not counting the boat and sailors under the mountain, a total of more than 100 people.

After drinking, Ma Zheng led everyone down the mountain and boarded the ship with the port, which was the best of the sea ships built by Meng Kang, which could carry five or six hundred people.

When Li Jun and Zhang Shun got on the boat, they returned to the sea like dragons, gave orders loudly, commanded a group of sailors, set sail in an orderly manner, and when they got out of the port, they broke the waves like a sharp sword and headed north.

Li Jun and Zhang Shun have been trained in Dengzhou Sailor for the past year, and they have long been accustomed to seeing the sea, but San Ruan was born in Shijie Village and grew up in Liangshanbo, when have they seen such boundless scenery? The three of them shouted with joy, and Ruan Xiaoqi was excited, so he jumped on the mast like a monkey, climbed to the highest place with a smoke, and howled loudly to express the happiness in his heart.

In the cabin, Ma Zheng only felt that the boat was bumpy like a galloping horse, and it was very different from the boat on the river, and he was very nervous for a while, and his face was bluffed. There are no rules! We are waiting for this sea crossing, the mission is important, it is like a march, can the army allow such shouting? ”

Hu Yanqing brought six small colonels such as Wang Mei and Liu Liang, with the original intention of coming to serve as the commander of the water division, and asked these six to help him restrain the army's heart. These six small schools actually have some ability, but compared with Li Jun and Zhang Shun, they are different from cloud and mud, after they arrived, several provocations have fallen behind, and those sailors in Dengzhou still only serve Li and Zhang, and even Hu Yanqing does not take it seriously.

Although Hu Yanqing was unhappy, he thought about the big things, and knew that as long as he did the errand of the envoy, he would be able to rise to the top and become a sailor in Dengzhou, but he was temporarily suspended from his job, so he didn't pay attention to it.

However, these six small schools did not have such an open-mindedness, and only hated Li Jun and Zhang Shun for stealing their limelight.

In the past few days, they have already seen that the three members of the Ruan family are getting close to Li and Zhang, and when they heard Ma Zheng's attack at this moment, they were immediately overjoyed, Wang Mei hurriedly stood up, reported her fist, and said with a tiger face: "What Ma Tuanlian said is exact!" This guy despised the discipline of our army, and when the last general went to take him for questioning. ”

Cao Cao was still humble in his words when he befriended Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing because of Tong Guan, but he had no scruples about others, he rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and shouted in a deep voice: "Hmph, Ruan Xiaoqi is my brother of Wu, which one gives you the dog guts to find out what is right and wrong?" ”

Wang Mei was stunned when he heard this-these people on the ship, including Ma Zheng, Hu Yanqing, Cao Cao's cronies, as well as local officers and soldiers in Dengzhou, the relationship is complicated, he only saw that Ruan's three heroes were friendly with Li Jun and Zhang Shun, and thought that it was the sailors they had found, and they were about to take the opportunity to save face for the two, but who knew that Cao Cao said that it was his brother!

Cao Cao is a dignified and dignified envoy, and he is in a high position, how dare he put his beak? At that moment, the poor Baba looked at Ma Zheng.

Ma Zheng saw that Cao Cao came out, and he didn't want to provoke him, so he exchanged colors with Hu Yanqing, and said with a forced smile: "It is worthy of 'Wu Mengde', and he really has a wide range of friends." In fact, Captain Wang also had good intentions, but he was afraid that he would mess up the army's heart. ”

Cao Cao laughed: "Doctor Ma is too worried, my brothers are all heroes of the lake and the sea, seeing the magnificent waves of the sea, they will inevitably stir up their hearts and roar, just waiting for me to have a strong performance!" ”

Hu Yanqing saw that Ma Zheng's face was pale, and he was about to help him make up for a few words, when suddenly the speed of the ship dropped suddenly, and there was an uproar on the deck outside, and countless sailors shouted in panic: "Jiaolong!" I've met the dragon! ”

Ma Zheng's complexion changed instantly, and his body trembled: "What? Dragon? How, then? ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but change his complexion slightly, after all, the vast sea, there are endless beasts, although he is a hero, he can't help but feel small in this ocean, he took a deep breath at the moment, and said in a low voice: "Don't panic, and see what kind of monster it is." ”

Cao Cao strode forward, holding on to the side of the boat, but saw two giant beasts in the water, fighting to the death, just blocking the route.

These two water beasts stirred up the waves, but fortunately, the ship was large, and there was no danger of subversion.

Cao Cao looked at it for a moment and asked, "Which one is Jiaolong?" ”

The sailors next to him scrambled to point and said, "The big one is the black shark, and the smaller one is the saw, and this saw is the son of the dragon." ”

Cao Cao looked closely, and saw that the big one, like a small boat, was five feet long, the whole body was like a spindle, the dorsal fin was high and erect, the nose was short and the mouth was wide, and the posture was very hideous.

Looking at the appearance and momentum of this black shark, it should have been a hegemon in the sea, but it was pressed and beaten by a smaller one.

The small one actually has a scale of nearly a zhang, looking at its body shape, it is quite similar to a shark, but the front of the nose has a flat beak more than three feet long, which resembles a broadsword, and there are bone spurs on both sides, just like a saw.

But seeing that this beast is flexible and vigorous, circling around the black shark, avoiding the black shark's mouth, shaking its head and tail from time to time, and the saw slashes to the black shark.

Cao Cao looked at it for a moment, only to feel that although the two water beasts were huge and brave, they did not have any supernatural powers to overturn the river and the sea, put away his guard, and said with a smile: "Where is the dragon, it is clearly two big fish!" Wouldn't it be a good meal when it was salvaged? ”

Those sailors were shocked and said: "That black shark, one bite can bite people in two, the most ferocious, there is no means to ride the waves and descend the dragon, who dares to hit it?" As for the saw Jiao, it is born of the dragon spirit of the big fish in the sea, it is the real dragon, who can beat it as a mortal of my generation? ”

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Ruan Xiaoqi shouting loudly on the mast: "Good fish, good fish, when grandpa was in Shijie Village, how could he have seen such a big fish?" And the one with the sword, cut it down and press it to the handle, isn't it more powerful than Huang Xin's brother's funeral sword? If you let such a good fish pass in front of you, the Dragon Lord will not agree to me! ”

As he spoke, this guy had already stripped off his fineness, took out a one-and-a-half-foot long and short water-splitting knife, took it in his mouth, jumped straight out of the mast, condescendingly, flew straight out of five or six zhang away, and bent his legs when he fell into the water, and a pair of kneecaps cast of iron and steel were smashed on the back of the black shark!

His weight of more than 100 catties, falling from a high position, what a huge force? Although there is water drainage, the black shark can't stand it, but when he heard the poof, his back was obviously folded down, a large pink mist erupted from his mouth and nose, and the wound on his body was cut by the saw, and the blood was surging, and the huge body sank to the bottom of the sea.

The last thing Cao Cao saw was Ruan Xiaoqi riding on the back of a shark, stabbing it on the head with a sharp knife.

Rao is Lao Cao's boldness, and he was also frightened by Ruan Xiaoqi's reckless behavior, in his opinion, the so-called salvage is nothing more than javelin, bow and arrow and fishing nets, who knew that Ruan Xiaoqi jumped down so directly!

If there was only one black shark, he might have eaten him and killed him, but the saw Jiao next to him was willing to be taken away by the opponent who had fought hard for a long time?

Cao Cao was so anxious that he looked at it, and sure enough, the saw Jiao spun around and dived into the water.

"Ahh Little Seven! Cao Cao was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and suddenly the afterglow swept two figures flying up, and hurriedly looked, but saw two brothers, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu, who were like their brothers, took off their stripes and plunged into the sea.

"Oops! Primary two, primary five! ”

Lao Cao was even more anxious now: "Quick, put down the sampan!" "But the two evil beasts in the water stirred up the storm, and the sailors were afraid of them like tigers, where could they listen to him?

"Brother Hua Rongxian, prepare a bow and arrow! Li Jun and Zhang Shun brothers, quickly prepare to save people! ”

is a good Cao Cao, after all, he is not chaotic in the face of danger, and hurriedly ordered the three most reliable people, Li Jun and Zhang Shun said in unison: "Brother, don't worry!" If there are two of me, three of them will be saved! While speaking, they took off their clothes, each carried a water fork, and was about to go into the water, but when they saw the water splash, Ruan Xiaoqi came out, saw Li Jun and Zhang Shun want to get down, and waved his hand: "Don't bother the two brothers, my brother can take care of himself!" ”

With that, he took a breath and sank into the water.

Li Jun and Zhang Shun laughed and said: "This Xiao Qi is really bold!" ”

Turning his head to look at Cao Cao, Cao Cao said categorically: "It's not that when he is allowed to be strong, such a big fish can bite and kill people in one bite, and the two of them are still ......."

In the middle of speaking, I suddenly saw the black shark rushing out of the water and floating, without any movement, obviously dead.

Cao Cao was stunned and sighed: "Since he killed one, the three of them worked together to deal with one, so there should be no problem, right?" ”

Li Jun said: "There are a lot of sharks in this sea area, and when you smell blood, you will come, so quickly salvage this shark first." ”

These sailors of the Dengzhou Sailors, let them go to the sea to fight, naturally they don't dare, but it is not a problem to help salvage, everything is ready-made, in an instant, you fight for me, more than ten long hooks into the water, and drag the shark up.

This guy is big in the water, and he catches it on the boat, but it is bigger, Sun An is such a big man, and he is also extremely tall, this fish is from head to tail, but there are more than two Sun An.

Zhang Shun took a closer look, only to see that the shark had been stabbed more than ten times on the head, and the knife went into his brain, and he couldn't help sighing: "Xiao Qi is really amazing water-based, a means of pouring the sky!" ”

At this time, Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing all came out to see, and they were all stunned when they saw such a big fish being killed, and when they heard that it was Ruan Xiaoqi, who had just howled, it was killed, and Wang Mei and the others were even more white.

After all, Ma Zheng is a bit old-fashioned, and he praised again and again: "Sure enough, there is such a strange person with skills, so I can't wait for it, but I am in love." ”

The sailors also praised in unison, only Hua Rong, who was ready to fly, stared at the sea and said with concern: "His three brothers, why can't they come up at this moment?" ”

There is a division of teaching: jumping into the waves, the means are surprisingly bold. Since then, Mo Kua Jiao beast is ruthless, and Dengzhou has spread all over the Yama knife.
