Chapter 884: Out to Sea

"Don't worry, General Zong, in fact, I'm not in a hurry!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Sooner or later, but this year, among the forces of all parties, the most anxious are the Liao people, they are now suffering from the enemy on their backs, as if they are already meat on the chopping block, and everyone wants to cut it."

"The second is the Song Dynasty, most of the Liao Kingdom has been occupied by the Jurchens, and now only the land of Yanyun is left, and Tong Guan's heart is in front of him to recover the king of Yanyun, if it is a step slower, it will be a waste of all the previous efforts."

"In the end, I Liangshan and the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, the Jurchens are afraid that they will not send troops again this year, and now it is almost the end of summer, and the Baishan and Heishui sides are afraid that they are already preparing for winter, and the entire Guanwai will be covered with heavy snow in two or three months."

"Soldiers, horses, grain and grass will be delayed by heavy snow, and the Jurchens are very smart, and there is a high probability that they will not go to war at this time. And they also need to digest the Shangjing Road, Nakakyo Road, and Xijing Road that have been opened! ”

"The Achilles heel of the Jurchens is also obvious, they have been raising troops for too short a time, but in six or seven years, how can they control such a large territory with only the population of the Jurchens? Those ethnic groups who have just betrayed the Khitan of the Liao State, do they dare to really use it with confidence? ”

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"These are just your guesses, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, Liaodong is bitterly cold, if there is a chance, the Jurchens will definitely covet the Central Plains, and they will not let go of the opportunity!"

Zhang Shuye opened his mouth and said, the coveting of the Central Plains by the foreign races can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the Jurchens can take the four capitals of the Liao State in just a few years, and the plot is definitely not small, and they will not let go of the Central Plains.

"So, I'm not in a hurry!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"If the Jurchens dare to go south, then the Liao Kingdom will already be dead, at that time it will be a decisive battle between me and the Jurchens, the towering Yanshan is a natural barrier, it is easy to step over, but it is difficult to stand on its feet!"

Sun Lei replied with a smile, if the Jurchens crossed the Yan Mountain, they would become lonely, a tree without roots and water without a source.

"Do you want Tong Guan to fight with Liao first?"

Zong Ze looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"Yes, whoever is most anxious will naturally fight first."

Sun Lei nodded.

"What about Pingzhou?"

Zong Ze reminded.

"Haha, General Zong really really thinks about me Liangshan!"

Sun Lei smiled and smiled happily, Zong Ze's words were enough to prove that Zong Ze was really thinking about Liangshan.

"Several, come with me to Tanggu."

Sun Lei greeted Zong Ze, Zhang Shuye, and Liu Fa with a smile.

The ships soon arrived at Tanggu along the Yellow River, where dozens of huge ships lined up on the sea.

"General Zong, what you are talking about is the area of Jinzhou, where is the throat of Liaodong and the Central Plains, if the Jurchens enter Yanyun from there, the Yanshan barrier will no longer exist."

"That's for Zhao Ji and Yelu Yanxi, I have a strong naval army, the entire Bohai Sea is mine, and my fleet can sail to the coast of Jinzhou at any time, which is like an iron tong, which can lock the throat of the Jurchens at any time!"

Sun Lei pointed to the lined ships and said with a smile, the navy is very important, in addition to blockading Jinzhou, the navy can even directly attack Liaodong across the sea and copy the Jurchens' lair.

"Brother, the fleet is ready!"

When Li Jun saw Sun Lei coming, he immediately took Tong Wei, Tong Meng, and Zhang Heng to meet him.

"All the supplies are ready?"

Sun Lei looked at Li Jun and asked.

"Brother, rest assured, the ship is full of supplies, enough for a boatload of people to consume for half a year! As for the water source, it should be able to be replenished along the way. ”

Li Jun nodded, he has also studied navigation, only with enough supplies can deal with everything, as for fresh water, they will travel along the coast along the way, as long as there is land, fresh water can be found.

"Well, have a nice trip!"

Sun Lei nodded, he didn't understand much about the water thing, at most he just pointed the way.

After Li Jun and the others saluted Sun Lei with fists, they got on the boat and headed east.

"Leader Sun, what is this?"

Zong Ze looked at the departing fleet in confusion, these people didn't seem to be going to Liaodong.

"Li Jun took people to the open sea and brought some good things back!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Is there anything good overseas?"

Zong Ze and the others looked at Sun Lei with strange faces, the only thing that can be called a good thing overseas is the rumored panacea on Penglai Immortal Island.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not sending someone to find the elixir! Li Jun is not Xu Fu either! ”

As soon as Sun Lei saw the expressions of several old men, he immediately understood that they wanted to be crooked.

"Overseas is not a barren place in your impression, overseas is vast, and many good things are overseas, just wait for them to bring it back!"

Sun Lei pointed to the east and said, Liangshan soldiers were the first to discover the American continent, and according to the current rules, they can declare sovereignty by planting a flag.

Sun Lei took Zong Ze, Zhang Shuye, and Liu Fa on the ship and asked them to have a good look at these new ships.

"Such a giant ship is undefeated at sea!"

Uncle Zhang touched the thick mast at night, looked at the huge sail and sighed, there are not so many civet foxes and whistles in water battles, and the number of boats is the last word.

"This is just a wooden ship, if you can build an ironclad ship in the future, it will be really invincible!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Iron armor? That doesn't sink? ”

Liu Fa is a native of the northwest, and he has been in the Yellow River in his life, and he has never seen a few big ships, and the sea is the first time he has come to Cangzhou.

"I put the copper basin for washing my face on the water, how can it sink as long as I put it upright?"

Sun Lei made an analogy.

"Several old generals, it's not that iron will definitely sink, and now Liangshan has built an iron plate ship, proving that iron ships can also sail."

Meng Kang said with a smile that the ironclad ship is still in the experimental stage, and the rust-proof ability of the ironclad needs to be improved, but in the future, the ship's side can be equipped with a layer of iron plate on the outer layer of the wooden board to increase the defensive power.

"Brother, Beiliao sent someone!"

Deng Fei climbed on the ship to report.

"Someone coming so soon? This is to know that I am coming! ”

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"It's still that Xiao Feng this time!"

Deng Fei nodded.

"Let's go and meet the envoy of Northern Liao!"

Sun Lei said with a smile, stretching the two words of Northern Liao very long.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, the Liangshan front.

"I am the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, and I have come to ask to see King Sun, how can you stop me!"

Xiao Feng looked at Li Yi in front of him and said.

"Who knows what you're here for? Coming empty-handed, do you want me to greet it? ”

Li Yi glanced at Xiao Feng and said coldly.

"Even if the two countries are at war, the envoys can come and go, why do you wait to stop me like this! Fool me and there is no one in Daliao? ”

A man in his fifties wearing an official robe pointed at Li Yi and scolded.

"I bullied you, what's the matter!"

When Li Kai saw that someone wanted to die, he immediately beckoned the soldiers to go up, and tore the man off his horse and pressed him to the ground.

"I'm the Northern Liao Captain! If you dare to do this to me, I will definitely show the Emperor of Northern Liao and kill you! ”

Li Chuwen, who was pressed to the ground, yelled and threatened.

"I think you really want to die!"

Li Yi waved his spear, and the tip of the spear was directly on Li Chuwen's shoulder, and the blade of the spear was only half an inch away from Li Chuwen's neck. (End of chapter)
