Huangcheng Island, located on the mouth of the Bohai Sea, has a distance of more than 120 miles from Dengzhou Daoyu Village in the south, about 80 miles away from Jinzhou Iron Mountain in Liaodong in the north, has two islands in the north and south, the two islands are less than three miles apart, the island shape is long and narrow, the long and narrow islands and mountains of thirty or forty zhang high confront each other, it is the anchorage place for ships going back and forth between the north and the south of the sea shipping in ancient times.

The fleet of the Haidong Camp Army was hidden in the Laoyukou bay on the east side of Nanhuangcheng Island, like a group of vicious sharks lurking in the distance and staring at the mountains on the shore of Dengzhou, waiting for the opportunity to pounce on it to feed.

The sea area between the north and south Huangcheng Island is as quiet as a blue lake, Zhao Hu stands on the top of Nanhuang Mountain, which is about 30 zhang high, looking into the distance, the southwest of the large and small Qinshan Island, Zhushan Island, Miaoshan Island are like the colored model on the sand table, quietly placed on the blue sea, the shore mountain in the direction of Dengzhou Daoyu Village, covering this series of islands in the Bohai Sea.

Otherwise, even from such a distance, it is said that you should be able to see the skyline of Danya Mountain, where the swordfish village is located.

Two young generals about 30 years old climbed to the top of Nanhuang Mountain from the back slope, saw Zhao Hu looking southwest, and walked over.

The two generals are not outsiders, one is Chi Yuanji, the son of Chi Guan, the governor of the Dongzhou Prefecture of Danluo State, and the other is Ge Changgen, the son of Ge Cunxin, both of whom were generals who came to Dengzhou from Haidong with Zhao Hu.

As early as June, Lin Jian expected that the main force of the Huaidong Shuibu Army would be pinned down on the southern front and could not escape from the north—and this was exactly the case—Huaidong wanted to interfere in the war situation in Shandong, and the expedient measure was to draw troops from Haidong.

After the Danluo War, in order to control the situation in the Haidong trade route and Jeju and Dongju, Zhao Hu was ordered by Lin Jian to form a Haidong camp army in Jeju, with more than 5,000 water infantry troops.

In addition to some of these troops stationed in Jeju Fortress on Danluo Island, a considerable part of them are scattered to guard the sea trade routes, and the actual number of troops that can be drawn is limited, and it will take time to gather in advance.

In mid-June, Zhao Hu received a secret order from Lin Jian to gather troops in Jeju; In the name of Lin Bin, he borrowed troops from the Dongzhou Governor's Mansion and the Danluo State respectively, and the assembly was not completed until the end of July.

After the news of the fall of Linzi reached Jeju, Zhao Hu led his troops across the sea from Jeju; After converging with Yang Yihang's headquarters, the total strength of the Shuibu Army hidden between Huangcheng Island was more than 7,000 people.

After the fall of Yanji, the sea shipping into the Bohai Sea was almost cut off, and the Bohai Sea was a place where many forces fought, and fishing boats were also extinct. And once there is no war, the waters around Godcheng Island will not even see half of the ghosts, and it will become the best place for warships to hide their tracks and lurk.

Even if the patrol ship of the Dengzhou Navy Division occasionally passed by, it was ordered to be seized by Zhao Hu.

Of course, Huangcheng Island is quite close to Tieshanjiao in Jinzhou, Liaodong, and on a sunny day, maybe Yanhu's captives stationed in Jinzhou can detect the abnormality in the sea area of Huangcheng Island while standing in the high mountains. However, it is not possible to directly cross the sea to warn from Jinzhou in eastern Liaoning, and it will take 10 days and half a month to send the message to Yanjing, and then from Yanjing to Shandong.

Therefore, there was such a division hidden between Huangcheng Island, and the forces fighting fiercely on the Shandong Peninsula were not aware of it for a while.

************

Ge Changgen stood beside Zhao Hu, looked into the distance with him, and said: "General Zhao, Qingzhou has won a great victory, and the last general thinks that our department should immediately enter the Jiaolai River from the west of Laizhou to support the Qingzhou army in the battle!" ”

Huaidong did not expect that Chen Zhihu would use deception to move the tiger away from the mountain, but he was worried that the Dengzhou Sailor would lose. Qingzhou's victory has turned the situation in the eastern part of the Shandong Peninsula into a safe one, and Huaidong's previous concerns seem to be gone.

At least for now, Huaidong's trick in the sea off Dengzhou has lost its due effect.

The generals of the Haidong camp, including Ge Changgen and Chi Yuanji, were unwilling to take an empty trip, and intended to take the initiative to attack, hoping that Zhao Hu would make a decision to immediately command the soldiers and horses to enter Qingzhou from the Jiaolai River on the west bank of Laizhou, and cooperate with the Qingzhou army to fight against the new annexed army that entered the hinterland of Qingzhou.

Although the Jiaolai River was badly destroyed at the beginning of the year, the damage was mainly concentrated in the middle section, and the section of the river from Changyi County to the north to the west of Laizhou into the sea remained intact and could be used by the Haidong Shuibu Army to enter the battle.

Lin Lian's previous order to Zhao Hu was to tell him to wait and see what happened in the waters outside Dengzhou, but the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the main general was not qualified because of his ability to capture fighters, rather than sticking to the established plan.

Listening to Ge Changgen's suggestion, Zhao Hu was also eager to try and had the heart to take the initiative, but after all, he was more patient than Ge Changgen and Chi Yuanji, he said: "The military division has been arranged in Yishan, we are here, and it is inconvenient to contact Huaidong, but the secret agents sent to Yishan should be able to return in two more days, and it is not too ......late to wait for two more days."

They had been lurking on Godtown Island for eight days, and they didn't care about waiting two more days.

In any case, even if they want to fight a counterattack, they must have all the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou adjusted in place, otherwise it will be difficult to play a big role by relying only on the six or seven thousand water infantry troops on their side.

"Then I'm going to make some preparations...... Ge Changgen said.

Zhao Hu nodded, and was watching Ge Changgen and Chi Yuanji go down the mountain, and in the distance, there were two ships coming from south to north.

Ge Changgen also saw the incoming ship, stopped, and said hesitantly: "Could it be a letter ship sent by Huaidong?" At that moment, the herald sent a warship to go around to intercept it, and he accompanied Zhao Hu to stand on the top of the mountain and watch, and it was really Gao Zongting who came to meet from Huaikou by boat.

**************

Accompanying Gao Zongting to Huangcheng Island was Chen Enze.

Zhao Hu and Gao Zongting met in a hurry in Jiangning in his early years, and Lin Jian was afraid that he would not have a deep impression of Gao Zongting, so there would be problems in communication between them, so he specially sent Chen Enze over.

Knowing that it was Gao Zongting coming, Zhao Hu, Ge Changgen, Chi Yuanji and others would rush to the simple dock to greet them and introduce the generals to Gao Zongting.

The strength of the Haidong camp was insufficient, but borrowing troops from the Chi family in Dongzhou and the Danluo State still made up a partial division - Gao Zongting saw Zhao Hu introduce Chi Yuanji as the eldest son of Chi Guan, the former pirate leader and the current governor of Dongzhou, and he sighed in his heart: Lin Lian's strategic thinking in running Haidong is far beyond the imagination of the world.

Everyone else thinks that Huaidong is weak, and it is true that Lin Jian rose in Huaidong, and only now occupies the land of Sifu, and it is far from being compared with the Cao family who just occupied the two rivers.

However, only Huaidong operates Haidong, and through trade exports, it has made more than two million taels of silver from the Haidong region every year, of which about sixty percent is directly used by the Huaidong Military Division to raise the army - the Cao family occupies Guanzhong, and the West Qin County, which has been reduced to a bitter cold land in the northwest border hundreds of years ago, is not even as direct as the income of Huaidong operating the Haidong trade route in a year.

Huaidong transported back from the Haidong area, but not just silver, including rice grain, coal and iron, silver and copper, leather, wood, fish gelatin and many other strategic materials.

Because of the existence of sea routes, Lin Tie has made the entire Haidong region a strategic material export base in Huaidong.

Now, the sea route to the Nanyang Islands through Yizhou has also been opened, and after two years of exploration, the route has also stabilized. In the first half of this year, 200,000 koku of rice was imported from the Nanyang Islands. This is almost equal to the tax contribution of the Huaidong government before the implementation of the new policy.

Now, the Chi family of Dongzhou and the Li family of Danluo State are directly supporting the Huaidong operation, which is of great significance.

Zhao Hu stationed a simple camp at the foot of Nanhuang Mountain, invited Gao Zongting and others ashore, and entered the command tent, only to ask: "Did something happen, why did Mr. Lao Gao rush to Dengzhou?" ”

"Chen Zhihu's department is very likely to be a deception under the city of Qingzhou," Gao Zongting said, "The deployment of Dengzhou's side should be adjusted, and the adults should have come here in person, but they can't get out, I am slightly more familiar with the situation in Dengzhou than others, so I came over......" General Si Zhuren's analysis of the situation in Qingzhou explained in detail to Zhao Hu and the generals of Haidong.

Zhao Hu, Ge Changgen, Chi Yuanji and others were suspicious, but Gao Zongting brought Lin Bin's warrant, so they had to not believe it.

"You have been lurking here for a few days, has there been any change in the Dengzhou Town Army?" Gao Zongting asked, he didn't get the latest information for two days, when he went to sea from Huaikou, the Dengzhou town army still had obvious movements, about the latest information in Dengzhou in the past two days, he wanted to ask Zhao Hu, "Dengzhou town has noticed any abnormality here?" ”

"Dengzhou Town is sending some sailors ashore to assemble, and there are indeed signs of concentrating troops to fight in Qingzhou," Zhao Hu frowned and said with a solemn expression, "It is also thanks to our lack of affection for Liu Yefei, so we did not mistakenly think that when the situation in Qingzhou turned from crisis to safety, we took the initiative to contact Dengzhou Town-Dengzhou Town should not be aware of our existence!" Yang Yihang will take people to the mouth of the Zhulong River, and will send people to infiltrate Yangxin to contact the Gu family. However, even if Yang Yihang revealed the details of this side to the Gu family, the news could not reach Dengzhou Town. ”

"That's good......" Gao Zongting breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there were more than 7,000 soldiers and horses assembled on Huangcheng Island, there were less than 6,000 soldiers and about 4,000 infantry soldiers after deducting the sailors who operated the ships, and the infantry soldiers were about 4,000.

However, the infantry armor of the eight battalions was composed of five parts: the Fengli Battalion, the Haidong Xingying Army, the Dongzhou Army, the Jinwei Island Garrison Army, and the Danluo Wang Army, and the overall combat effectiveness level was absolutely limited.

If it is used as an elite brigade of the Fengli Battalion and the Changshan Battalion to fight tough battles, it will most likely suffer a big loss.

The biggest advantage at the moment is that such a partial division is lurking more than 100 miles away from Dengzhou Daoyu Village, and it has not yet been noticed by Liu Yefei and Chen Zhihu.

"If Liu Yefei really descended the swallow in secret, he took the initiative to cooperate with Chen Zhihu's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and we have no plan to stop it!" Ge Changgen said.

"Chen Zhihu uses deception, why can't we use deception?" Gao Zongting smiled lightly and said, "The biggest headache right now is Yangxin. Yangxin City is only surrounded on three sides at the moment, and the scouts can still enter and exit, and the news of Qingzhou's victory should have reached Yangxin City, and the Gu family is afraid that they have strengthened their heart to guard Yangxin - if they don't break through, even if we send more ships to meet at the mouth of the Zhulong River, it will be useless.
