Chapter 304: Broken Sky Island

As soon as the Jin soldiers retreated, the Liao soldiers and Song soldiers in the city of Xijin Mansion poured out and chased after them.

Wan Yan Sheng saw that Shenggu had become a hostage of Zhao Gou, but he only verbally said that he wanted to save her, but in fact, he was preparing to retreat from the beginning.

Fiction and reality are just the necessary techniques and tactics for marching and fighting.

Zhao Gou watched the Liao soldiers and the Song soldiers go to chase the Jin soldiers, and he led the people into the city slowly.

He had lost interest in the war.

War can only bring death, but it is nothing more than a conspiracy played by careerists to gain power and money.

He Zhao Gou now just wants to end the strife of this era as soon as possible, restore peace in the region, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

The battle of Liaojin in Xijin Province lasted for two days.

Wan Yansheng fled eastward with the remnants of the defeated army, abandoning countless military equipment, including more than a dozen red-coated cannons.

The losses of the Liao soldiers were relatively heavy, and the casualty rate was as high as half.

Although the Song soldiers also lost one-tenth, they were all armed by Zhao Gou, and they had silkworm soft armor on their bodies, so they did not suffer heavy losses like the Liao soldiers.

After this war, the Jin people could not recover for a while, and chose to take Liaoyang as the boundary and temporarily maintain a state of equilibrium with the Liao State.

And Wan Yan Sheng returned to the country, because of the loss of troops and the loss of the support of the powerful faction led by Shenggu, he was actually killed by Wan Yan Liang of the Shaozhuang faction and usurped the throne.

Wan Yan Liang took the Lingyuan Mine into the possession of the Jin Imperial Court, and blatantly recruited hidden warriors to join the Jin Army, and his combat effectiveness was even stronger than when Wan Yan Sheng was there.

And Zhao Gou was ready to leave for Dongying as early as the second day after the Liaojin Xijin Mansion War began.

This time, he only took Wan Yanxiang and Cui Yuying, and the rest were a hundred guards.

Along the way, I traveled in the wind and snow for five or six days, and then I came to the boundary of Qingzhou, and after a short rest, I came to the beach after another day.

The Dongying ninja had already followed, and when they saw Zhao Gou, they took Wan Yanxiang and Cui Yuying onto a big ship and headed towards Dongying.

On this day, he was sailing on the sea, and the sky was very good, and Zhao Gou saw a very large island in the distance, looming at the junction of sea and sky.

The ninja followed Zhao Gou's gaze and looked over, just pointing to the island and said: "Lord Wang, there is the famous Broken Sky Island, which is a very important place in the Dongying Sea, and now it has been occupied by pirates, and our empress has also tried to fight it down several times, but she has not succeeded." ”

Zhao Gou sighed and said, "So what's the difference between beating down and not fighting?" ”

"It's good to fight down, otherwise it's occupied by pirates, taking advantage of the key geographical location, and confronting the court when it's strong, and when it's weak, it's uniting foreign enemies and blackmailing the court."

Zhao Gou said: "So it's better to fight down." ”

The ninja sighed and said, "It is said that there are many masters added here, and their strength is even stronger than before. We used to go directly to Broken Sky Island, but now we have to make a detour, and we need to walk for an extra day. ”

Zhao Gouxin said that this is a good place, it is really a waste to let others occupy it in vain, it is better to go over and explore its reality, if you can, it is to take in all the pirates, and give the empress a Broken Sky Island in vain, which can also be regarded as a meeting gift.

"Are you saying that going directly to the Heavenly Island can save a day's journey?" Zhao Gou asked the ninja.

Listening to Zhao Gou's tone, the ninja seemed to have an idea about Broken Heaven Island, and suddenly exclaimed: "Lord, the empress specially ordered us not to go to Broken Heaven Island, just for the safety of the prince." ”

Zhao Gou smiled: "Since we can save a day's journey, we will go to Broken Heaven Island, I actually can't wait to see Her Majesty the Empress and the crown prince." ”

Ninja is persuaded again.

Zhao Gou asked, "If the pirates' ships attack us, will we have no power to fight back?" ”

The ninja said: "That's not enough, the pirates are not sure of victory, and they don't dare to start a war with the ships of the imperial court, that is, they are poor and crazy, so they are desperate to rob people when they see them." ”

Zhao Gou smiled, and said in his heart that this Broken Sky Island was going to take a trip.

Seeing that he couldn't stop him in every way, he calculated the time, and it happened to be near Broken Sky Island during the day, and he was not afraid, so he ordered to go down, and the big ship changed its course and returned to China via Broken Sky Island.

The big ship is getting closer and closer, Zhao Gou likes this broken sky island more and more, only to see that there is about a dozen hectares of area, there is Longji Mountain on the island, the top of the island is thousands of meters above the sea, the island is lush with trees, rich in animal and plant resources, because it is located in the subtropics, and there is a warm current flowing through, so a rich appearance.

When the boat was a little closer, Zhao Gou asked someone to help him release a small boat, and accompanied by a few ninjas, slowly rowed towards Broken Sky Island.

And someone on Broken Sky Island had already seen the big ship on the tower, and they were on alert, and when Zhao Gou and them entered the harbor, there were already more than a dozen pirate-like people waiting on the shore with weapons on the shore.

One of the pirates snapped, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

The exit turned out to be a fluent Song dialect.

Zhao Gou was a little surprised.

Zhao Gou said: "What country ordered you to settle down here?" I'm going up there to see the scenery. ”

When that person heard that Zhao Gou was also a Song Mandarin, his expression was a little relaxed, after all, the people of the Great Song Dynasty were still relatively civilized.

"Broken Sky Island is a country of its own, now there is an island owner on the island, and there are rules above the island owner, if you are not a person from Broken Sky Island, don't go to the island!"

Zhao Gou smiled, took out a dozen taels of silver from his arms, and threw them over.

When the man saw the money, he took it and held it in his hand, and he was a little happy.

Zhao Gouxin said that it is really money that can communicate with the gods, and the common language of the world is not false at all.

The man took the money and said: "It's okay for you to come up and shop, just don't make a noise, especially don't let our island owner know, just go shopping, and we will accompany you all the way." ”

Zhao Gou said with a smile: "Come here to see the scenery, you need a few tour guides!" ”

As they spoke, they had already reached the shore, and the group got out of the boat, followed the dozen or so people, and walked around the island.

The more Zhao Gou looked at it, the more he liked it, and suddenly said to the man: "Big brother, your accent can be heard as a person from the Great Song Dynasty, may I ask your surname, how did you get here?" ”

The man said: "My surname is Huangfu, my single name is Qing, I was originally a fisherman in Zhoushan, because I killed a bully in the local area, and fled to the sea to avoid a lawsuit." Who are you? ”

Zhao Gou said: "My name is Yue Goxiao, and I want to go to Dongying after passing here." Brother Huangfu, can you introduce your island owner, I have business to talk to him. ”

Business?

Huang Fuqing was taken aback all of a sudden, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Mr. Yue, don't joke with me, our island owner doesn't allow anyone to go to the island, if he knows, we won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

Zhao Gou took out another ten taels of silver and handed it to Huangfu Qing: "Brother Huangfu, the lord of Dongying is my good friend, and I am not an ordinary person. You can tell your lord that I will bear all the consequences. ’

Huang Fuqing's face changed for a while, looking at Zhao Gou's appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, he was really not an ordinary person, and for the sake of Yinzi's face, he was moved.
