Dou Jiande turned his head to look at it, and saw that it was Zhang Xuansu and asked, "Zhang Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Xuansu arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Li Chongjiu in Youzhou is brave, and there is also the danger of Yanyun, our army has no certainty of victory, so we might as well wave the army to Shandong first." Shandong anti-kings such as Wang Bo, Xu Yuanlang, Qi Gongshun, Zang Jun are no more than dogs guarding the household, and they have no ambition to compete for the world. As soon as my army arrives, these people will only be captured......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Xuansu paused and said: "I heard that it is easy first and then difficult, Youzhou has a room to get Xi as a backup, and it is harmful and unprofitable to attack it, even if you destroy Youzhou, you have to face the Turks, and you have to be harassed by Xi, it is better to protect Youzhou, first cut off Shandong, and then go north to Hebei." ”

Dou Jiande listened to Zhang Xuansu's words and said: "Zhang Aiqing is really a loyal minister, and this is all a heart of planning for me, not that I don't want to take Shandong, but I can't." At present, Wang Bo, Xu Yuanlang, and Qi Gongshun have all subdued Li Tang, and if I attack Shandong, I will have a bad relationship with Li Tang. ”

Zhang Xuansu took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Shandong communicates north and south, it is the gateway of Hebei, and it is a place to lie in my Great Xia. This subordinate is heartbroken. ”

"Zhang Huangmen's words are wrong," Wang Cong said, "My main opponent in Daxia at the moment is Youzhou, if I attack Shandong, and then fight Li Tang, wouldn't it be unwise." ”

Wang Cong continued: "At present, our army is sharp, the soldiers are strong and strong, and it is appropriate to take advantage of the situation to fight, and what Zhang Huangmen said is easy first and then difficult, sweeping away the heroes of Shandong, so although it is easy, but its soldiers are tired, and the legacy is more arduous than the last. ”

Kong Deshao, the waiter of the internal history on the side, said: "When Li Yuan has one out of three points today, and the soldiers are strong and strong, this sincerity cannot be contested, if our army does not defeat Li Chongjiu and seize Youzhou for a day, it cannot be an enemy of Li Tang for a day." ”

This statement represents the opinion of the majority of civil officials, Zhang Xuansu saw that this was irretrievable, and said with a long sigh: The land of Youzhou is a flat river, Li Chongjiu has the advantage of light cavalry, although there are few soldiers, but not to be underestimated, His Majesty Xià is determined to use troops in Youzhou, must be cautious, not rash. ”

Dou Jiande smiled: "I will know." ”

At present, the generals have no objection to the matter of entering Youzhou.

Dou Jiande finally said: "Zhang Aiqing said that Shandong is a place to lie down, and Youzhou is not a place to lie down, so the decisive battle with Youzhou is imperative, even if there is no response from the Lu family, this cannot stop me from dominating the world." ”

The generals will say yes at the same time.

In September, it's time for autumn to be crisp.

Jin Chunqiu, Kongshan, and Yuanxiao, who had led a thousand Silla Hualang troops and Han soldiers, set sail from the mouth of the Sancha River.

Not long ago, Lee Chong-gu had just approved this battle plan for their rescue of Silla. The three of them were overjoyed, but they didn't expect that under such a difficult situation, Li Chongjiu still agreed to let them march into Liaodong.

According to the battle plan, at that time, Cui Xu of the Ding Zero Division dispatched more than 3,000 soldiers of the Ding Zero Division to cross the Liaoshui River and attack the villages of Goguryeo. With the help of Cui Xu's troops, Jin Chunqiu will lead these 1,000 soldiers, as well as nearly 2,000 naval troops from Goguryeo and Youzhou, to form a combined fleet of 35 warships and land in Liaodong.

This time, their target was Beisha City in Liaodong.

The sea breeze gusted, carrying a fleet of more than 3,000 people from the Silla and Youzhou armies on land and water, and began to anchor and set off for Liaodong.

The waters from the mouth of the Sancha River to Liaodong are very difficult, and the people who went to sea in ancient times have always regarded this as a difficult and dangerous place, so when the Great Sui naval army conquered Goguryeo, it always used Donglai County as the anchor point. However, in order to seek help, the Silla people sent ships to try out in this sea area many times, and after the shipwreck and shipwreck, they finally opened up a relatively safe waterway between Sanhekou and Silla.

More than 30 warships advanced on the dark Bohai Bay.

Kim Chun Choo stood in the bow of the ship, looking out to sea, as the prince of Silla, he had come to Youju far from his homeland to take refuge. Now in the royal family, there is no doubt that the heroine is in power, and in order to ensure that his daughter comes to power, King Jinpyeong will inevitably purge dissidents and help her consolidate her position, and then he will only have a dead end in Silla.

And the ferry came to Youzhou, although it lost the dignity of the prince, but it gained the ziyou of ordinary people, after all, King Zhenping is old, the heroine is powerless, and there is such a strong enemy as Goguryeo on the side, the country must have a strong king to revitalize Goguryeo.

And now that he has come to Youzhou, as long as he is in this sneak attack on Beisha City, he will be outstanding. Not only can he gain the trust of Lee Chong-koo, but he can also gain the appreciation of the ministers in the Silla court, and when the time comes, he will be able to help him return to Silla and ascend the throne.

Jin Chunqiu took a deep breath and returned from his thoughts, he knew that it was too long to think about this, and if he didn't capture Beisha City, then there was no way to talk about it. At present, he must cultivate his cronies in the army and create a strong division, and having his own team is the foundation.

Jin Chunqiu remembered that before the battle, Li Chongjiu sent him out of the gate of Jixian County.

At that time, Li Chongjiu personally said to himself: "The first priority in this attack on Beisha City is to capture this city and completely annihilate the Goguryeo defenders, so that the Goguryeo people know that the existence of our naval army has made it necessary to strengthen the defense of the coastal cities and contain the troops." ”

Jin Chunqiu replied at that time: "Yu Shang Gu Gong, I have already inquired, three years ago, General Lai Hu'er just conquered Beisha City and beheaded more than a thousand, and now the defenders are definitely not as good as at that time, and although our army only has 3,000 people this time, it will be able to succeed under the surprise attack." ”

After listening to his answer, Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "This is the best, and the following is the second priority I told you, it is up to you to decide." ”

"Gu Gong, what is the decision for yourself?"

Li Chongjiu said: "The things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, so there is a reason that the general will not be subject to the orders of the kings abroad, so I will go to Liaodong by boat for a few days, and then go to Guò by land, if there is a military situation, how can it reach my ears, so in case things change, in order not to miss things, I grant you the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot." ”

"I beg Kamiya to make it public?"

Li Chongjiu said: "This is my second priority, if you can capture Beisha City, you feel that you can defend it, then you can garrison the city, if you think that Goguryeo is powerful, you see that there is a place in the south of the island, called Duli Town, this is a good port, you can lead the army to garrison here, build a city and garrison." In the future, I will go back and forth in Youzhou, and the Silla merchant ships will be here as a transit place. I'll let you stay here in the future. ”

Thinking of this, Jin Chunqiu still remembers the shock at that time, which means that Li Chongjiu gave up the town as a general and held the power of one party, as he gradually approached the destination, Jin Chunqiu knew that he had to start from this Beisha City, otherwise there was no way to talk about it.

"How far is it from the shore?" Jin Chunqiu asked.

Yuan Xiao on the side, pinched the Buddha beads in his hand and said: "According to the last time the Han people went out to attack Beisha City, the chart obtained is close to the left, and I heard that this chart is not easy to come by." ”

"How's the soldier doing?"

"Some of the Han troops were seasick, but there was no major problem," Yuan Xiao said, "The Youzhou Navy cāo ship is not as good as our Silla Navy Army, obviously because of the new group." ”

Jin Chunqiu said: "How can the navy be created lightly, the batch of sailors who followed us to sea have more than ten years of experience in sea sailing, so they can be rudder in the wind and waves, and the Youzhou navy is still far from being the elite sailor who came to protect the children back then?" ”

"Exactly," Yuan Xiaoyan said, "I have sent people to supervise these Han sailors on each ship, and they have grown much better than the first day of departure. ”

Jin Chunqiu nodded and said, "Of course, Kamiya Gong trusts me so much, and regards me Silla as a brotherly country, of course we must find a way to repay him." ”

"Of course, we Silla people have always been gracious."

"I see the land!"

"I see the land!"

The soldiers at the bow of the ship could not help but cheer, and after several days of sailing, they had reached their destination.

Yuan Xiao took the chart, compared the lower position, and said happily to Jin Chunqiu: "Your Royal Highness, we have arrived south of Beisha City, which is here. ”

Jin Chunqiu glanced at the map, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Very good, let's start from here and send a sampan to choose the beach to land." ”

In the city of Youzhou.

Li Chongjiu was sitting in the hall, and the letter in his hand was the battle report of the naval army that had conquered Beisha City five days ago. Jin Chunqiu conquered Beisha City for the second time with lightning speed.

After the Goguryeo army resisted for a while, the city fell, and more than 2,000 soldiers and civilians in the city surrendered. Jin Chunqiu said in the letter that he was ready to retreat to Duli Town to hold on, so he had already burned the city of Beisha.

After hearing the news, Li Chongjiu only felt that a stone fell in his heart, he did not choose the wrong person, this Taizong in the history of the Silla people, he was really very decisive, after capturing Beisha City, he was able not to be greedy, he really gave up, and retreated to Duli Town, which is closer to the sea and easy to hold.

Among the three countries on the peninsula, the naval army of Baekje was the strongest, followed by Silla, and the Goguryeo naval army only had boats on the rivers, and there were almost no naval troops on the sea.

As the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, conquering Duli Town is equivalent to worry-free on three sides of the sea, and you only need to defend one side of the land.

Li Chongjiu seemed to remember that hundreds of years later, on the scattered islands of the Liaodong Peninsula, Mao Wenlong led his tens of thousands of Dongjiang troops to harass the Manchu rear with the help of the islands of the Liaodong Peninsula.

But for Lee Chong-gu now, this is just a transit point for merchant ships in Silla's Youju, and if the time is ripe in the future, a fleet of thousands of large ships will appear on this sea, sweeping across the Korean Peninsula and even the Wa Kingdom in the east.

And Duli Town is his naval base, but now he is poor and white, so he can only borrow chickens to lay eggs, and let the Silla people help him cāo train a naval army.
