Chapter 18: Ups and Downs

Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.

The sunlight shines through the mast, casting a dazzling halo on the eyes of the people on the deck, Yanbei yawns, and the sailor in calf-nose pants quickly runs across the board, shouting that he will pull out a large net from the sea, and the shrimp, soldiers, crabs, and other sea objects will be the evening food tonight.

Dian Wei walked out slowly with his hands on the side of the ship, his dark face was a little pale, and he felt dizzy just by looking at the endless pale yellow sea, and sat on the deck panting, beads of sweat the size of beans slid from his forehead to his bloodless lips.

Yan Bei sat on the bow of the boat like a naughty boy with his feet crossed and a rope, and when he saw Dian Wei's appearance, he chuckled, took out a plum plum from his arms, and asked the sailor with light legs and feet to give it to Dian Wei.

He was the leader of the guards with an eight-foot length and a six-foot belt...... Seasickness!

Yanbei didn't feel strange about seasickness, Sun Qing's first batch of sailors were mostly fishermen, and they were the most reliable on the boat, but later Tian Yu's recruitment was not good, and six out of ten Youzhou people were dizzy. For this reason, he practiced in the shallow sea for nearly half a year before he dared to let those sailors go to sea.

But Dian Wei's seasickness makes Yanbei feel very magical, Dian Wei is not a northerner, to be precise, Chen Liu should belong to the Central Plains, there are big rivers in the north and big rivers in the south, will people who grew up there also be seasick?

The truth is, no matter where you are, you can get seasick.

Tian Yu walked out of the cabin, stepped forward and patted Dian Wei's shoulder and asked, "Dian Jun, you look good today!" ”

This is not a ridicule, after floating on the sea for a few days, Dian Wei has gone from opening his mouth to now being able to barely hold on to the deck and walk two steps and climb two, which is a gratifying progress!

He has been in control of the Wenxian Navy for a long time, and Tian Yu has been surprised by seasickness and other matters, and can even clearly see which stage of seasickness Dian Wei is in now, and said: "In a few days, you will be able to get used to it when you get off the boat, and you will be a fierce man when you get off the boat!" ”

Dian Wei struggled to raise his heavy eyelids and looked at Tian Yu with difficulty, waving his hand with difficulty, panting and not wanting to say a word.

It's a terrible thing to shake the sea...... Damn, how can such a big ship keep rocking?

"Guorang, come here." Yan Bei didn't have seasickness, and he didn't know what the reason was, but he still had enough awe in his heart for seasickness, which was similar to the disease, and seeing that Dian Wei looked like this, and the eight-foot man who ate more than others in a day was tortured by seasickness...... It's hard to have no reverence in your heart.

Seeing Tian Yu coming steadily on the rocking boat, Yan Bei smiled and took out a plum from his arms and threw it over, and he also felt the last one rubbed on the placket of his clothes, took a bite and asked, "How are the seasick brothers in the cabin?" ”

Seasickness is not only one Dian Wei, he is too good in physique, he can still see the sun on the board, there are twenty or thirty seasick people on several ships, and they are all majestic Yan Zhao warriors on weekdays, all of them are his personal guards under General Liaoyan, and his martial arts and courage are the best choice in the army, and he can't escape the fate of being tossed and lying down by seasickness.

"It's okay, there is one on the back boat who spits out his jaw and can't close his mouth, but there is no one on the fighting ship, and it will be restored in a few days, and the general doesn't have to worry about it." Seasickness is not a big deal, but it makes so many soldiers lose their combat effectiveness at once, Yanbei is very worried, and when he heard Tian Yu say that someone has dislocated his jaw, he hurriedly asked: "He just lies down honestly, how can he still break his jaw?" ”

"That's all right, General." Tian Yu leaned on the side of the boat, obviously accustomed to the livelihood of drifting on the sea, took a deep breath, sighed after a while, and said to Yanbei after a while: "The general doesn't know if he is not in charge of the water village, last year he recruited new pawns in the water village in various places, and when he got on the boat, he vomited to death, spitting out the bile water, and the hull of the boat was jolting and biting off his tongue...... If you don't wait for it to be sent to the shore, you can't do it. ”

It's called something.

Yan Bei's scalp was numb when he heard this, he just vomited, how wronged would he be if he vomited his little life? What's more, it's still his own soldiers, don't care if it's a water pawn or a field pawn, it's all his.

The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and there is nothing to say about death, but this death on the ship is another matter.

"And this? Nobody told me. Yan Bei raised his eyebrows and asked, "How is this happening at sea?" ”

"This is the only one who vomited to death, but he was broken by the waves, and the person was swept away and not saved; When it hits a whirlpool, the whole ship is gone; Or maybe before last year, the nautical charts were not in order, and when you go out to sea and hit a reef, it happens from time to time. There are so many that there should be 100 people who die or cannot be found in a year, for example, 97 people last year. Tian Yu thought about it, and said to Yanbei with a sigh of indifference: "In fact, whether it is a pawn on the sea or a pawn on the ground, it is the same, some people will die every year, and the inevitable thing is nothing more than a pity for the pawn's warship, the damage can still be repaired, and the damage will be a loss." ”

Tian Yu's words won the heart of Yanbei, although he had never commanded the sailors, but he knew the horse and the army running on the ground very well. Accidents are always nowhere to be found, whether it is a person rolling off a cliff with armor while picking wild fruits, or rushing into the camp at night by wolves, or even ordinary drills will have an accident such as a bow and crossbow nailed to the head of the robe...... There are more than 100 casualties among sergeants every year.

It's inevitable.

What really worries Yanbei is not this, but the future battle in the far sea.

"Is there a way to avoid seasickness, this year I will send troops to the sea to attack the belly and back of Goguryeo, I can't just select soldiers who know how to fight in the water." Yan Bei raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Dian Wei, and said to Tian Yu: "Liaodong has tens of thousands of soldiers, but its water knows only eleven. ”

This is what Yanbei is most afraid of, he is not worried about the current soldiers seasickness, what he is worried about is that when he is about to attack Goguryeo, the sea drifting will make the soldiers become soft-footed shrimp, and even warriors like Dian Wei are still vomiting and can't lift weapons, let alone those ordinary soldiers. At that time, the soldiers were adrift to the east, and it took several months before and after, and the sea warships and the ground blockade of the border involved a huge ...... You have to be prepared.

"Let's familiarize ourselves with the warships and water battles in batches, and how many troops does the general plan to send to Goguryeo to attack its belly?" Tian Yu sighed, seasickness is inevitable, although those generations of fishing and hunting households always have some home remedies such as ginger, but it is also not effective, there is no need to get ginger from the south for this purpose, Tian Yu said: "Gather the soldiers of the return water, and then select the second battalion for drills, you should be able to gather more than 10,000 elite soldiers to attack eastward." ”

"It can only be like this, there are 14,000 people in Heshui and foot soldiers, and another 4,000 in Lelang County...... Before this expedition to the west, I sent a message to Saburo and asked him to send soldiers to explore the eastern coast of Lelang County and accumulate military rations for the army. At that time, the logistical baggage can be replenished many times, from Wenxian to Ludi, from Luqi to Lelangxi, from Lelangxi to the east, and then land in the hinterland of Goguryeo...... Is it safer for warships to transport grain and grass back and forth from the eastern part of Lelang and load people's husbands? ”

Tian Yu nodded, this is indeed much easier than loading all the grain and grass directly from Liaodong County, there are a few camps to settle in, and the soldiers will not be adrift at sea for a long time.

On long-distance voyages, the lack of fresh water is the most deadly, and it is necessary to fill up with fresh water on every voyage. If it is divided according to a voyage like Yanbei, they only need to prepare fresh water for a few days, and multiple stops on the way can allow them to take fresh water and go ashore to rest.

"General, if this is the case, you can put down some of the sergeants after landing in the west of Lelang County, and take the land route to Lelang East...... Moreover, in order to prevent accidents when the army is dispatched, this time when returning to Liaodong, it is necessary to send a fleet to the eastern part of Lelang to explore the nautical charts, and then move to Goguryeo, otherwise there will be too many variables. After all, this march to the sea was too far away. ”

In this eastward attack, although the so-called sea ships are still sailing around the coastal sea according to the map of the world obtained by Yanbei, the distance is unprecedented for the Wenxian naval army, and even the halfway through is an unknown place, which is like desperate.

The cost is too great, and the sea journey from the Shuizhai in Wenxian County, Liaodong to the belly of southern Goguryeo is tantamount to the distance from Wenxian County to Xuzhou by crossing Liaodong Bay and crossing the Bohai Sea.

Liaodong Bay is Yanbei's washbasin, and he can toss as much as he wants, but it is different in the Lelang area. In particular, the strait in the southern part of Raklang is bordered by the 76 countries of Samhan to the north and the 120 countries of Wajima to the south...... Although one of its countries is really just a township in Liaodong, the chaos of the situation is unheard of.

But despite the high cost, the benefits are also considerable.

Tian Yu had long been ready to fight for his life to promote the eastward attack on Goguryeo, and the benefits of this attack on Goguryeo were obvious, not to mention the prestige and prestige of those who plundered or attacked the Han Duliao general Yu Dongyi Hundred Kingdoms, a single article was enough for everyone to support this eastward offensive that cost a lot of money and labor.

Destroying the prestige of Goguryeo, a powerful country in Dongyi, and attacking the national capital deep into its belly, Goguryeo was unable to breathe for three or five years or even more than ten years...... Kill the worries of Liaodong County, and Yanbei will be able to take the entire Liaodong Military Group to put the experience in the west.

In Jizhou to the west, the war between Gongsun Zhan, a white horse general, and Yuan Shao, a famous family of the fourth and third dukes, was in full swing.

Liaodong County is like a child born lame, and Goguryeo, who is naturally rebellious, is the lame leg, either appeased and forever fearful, or sent troops to succeed once and for all.

Other than that, there is no other way to make Liaodong County go farther.

This battle must be fought, and this battle must be won.

"Go, when you return to Liaodong, send a fleet to explore the way, and you can do this well." Yan Bei raised his eyes and looked in the direction of their sailing, the sky over there was covered with an impenetrable layer of gray, and it seemed to be raining, "Yi Yin Mo has me to clean up, I plan to hand over the matter of the Eastern Expedition to you and Lu Yi, there is a country to dispatch by sea, General Koji marches and arranges the formation, Goguryeo is waiting for the Han Dynasty Heavenly Army to come to the city!"
