Lord of the House

Vol 8 Chapter 19: each with his own mind

"Huaidong's ships are large and strong, and they follow the wind at sea, faster than galloping horses. Even if the navies under the jurisdiction of Goryeo County are all concentrated, they can be superior in numbers, but the warships suffer too many losses and still cannot win. What should I do?" After changing the high candle twice, the morning light was already leaking in from the window, and He Xiongqi still grabbed Qin Zitan and insisted on asking for details of the naval battle; he was not sleepy, so he took Danluo Island to attack and defend the battle. Ask Qin Zitan for advice.

"Huaidong's ships are large and strong, which is their advantage. However, in order to increase the speed of the ship, the bottom of the Huaidong ship is built with ridges to facilitate breaking waves, and the draft is very deep, which is not good for shoal and land river warfare," Qin Zitan explained carefully. "Koryo gathers its navy and can hide in the land, which is easy to block the mouth of the river. In wartime, it uses tidal fluctuations and small boats to get in and out of the shoal easily. When engaging with Huaidong ships flexibly, it is not necessarily downwind."

"If you can't go out to sea, you will always be at a disadvantage," Na Hexiongqi pondered that this method of warfare that Qin Zitan said is similar to fighting against cities on land. Although it can recover some disadvantages, it is too limited. He asked again, "Goryeo wants to solve the danger of Danluo, assemble the navy to rescue Danluo, and rescue the governor of Haiyang County, what should we do?"

"From Haiyang to Danluo, it is only a two-hundred-mile waterway. When the wind is good, Haiyang chooses to go out to sea when the wind is good, but in half a day, the Huaidong Water Battalion can't gather its troops all the time between Haiyang and Haiyang. In the sea area between Danluo, there is no space for half a day here," Qin Zitan said, "As long as the governor of Haiyang County defends Seogwipo City, Gaoli should avoid fighting Huaidong at sea. Instead, take advantage of the opportunity to send troops to Seogwipo. As long as they win the control of Danluo Island, Huaidong will have no foothold in Haidong, and the water camp will naturally no longer be left alone overseas!"

"..." He Xiongqi was a veteran, listening and thinking about Qin Zitan's words.

"Speaking of which, these are all expedients. When it comes to combat timing and location selection, they are very passive," Qin Zitan said. "Building a water camp that can compete with Huaidong is fundamental!"

"What Mr. Qin said is very..." Na Hexiongqi nodded in praise.

"Haidong is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and is often troubled by pirates. The counties and counties have many naval forces, and there are generals who are knowledgeable in water warfare. The commander of Shannan County can be regarded as a famous general in naval warfare," Qin Zitan said. Convince Goryeo to lead the navy army by urging power officials to have a better chance of winning!"

"Calling Quanchen?" He Xiongqi wrote down the name.

During the day, he had to meet with Gao Li Guoxiang, and the squire who was in charge of arranging the schedule reminded him several times, and then He Xiongqi reluctantly let Qin Zitan go back to the building to rest.

Qin Zitan left, and Ajige, who sat with him for the night, said with emotion, "This guy named Qin has two brushes. King Khan has the heart to recruit talented Han people, is it possible..."

That He Xiongqi sighed slightly, shook his head and smiled, and said, "I can't recruit it!"

Qin Zitan's understanding of naval warfare is rare among people in the world to be profound and comprehensive.

Na Hexiongqi has been very attentive to naval battles and water camps recently, but there is no precedent to follow. Tan is attached to Donghu, and Donghu can do more with less by building a water camp. However, the She family annexed Zhejiang and Fujian, with hundreds of thousands of troops and great ambitions. Qin Zitan is highly valued in the she family and has a high status. What did Donghu take to make him abandon the luxury family to invest?

Not being able to recruit does not mean that you cannot cooperate. Donghu is blocked in the north of Yanbei, and the She family is sealed in the south of Zhejiang. There is no direct conflict at present, and there is a common enemy in Huaidong. It is the common goal of both parties to contain and suppress the forces of the Huaidong Military Division. There is a basis for cooperation.

Then He Xiongqi hesitated, did he take this opportunity to persuade King Khan to form an alliance with the She family?

At this time, someone came over from behind the screen, held a stack of papers and handed it to He Xiongqi, and said, "Listen to the general's instructions, copy everything we talked about last night, and ask the general to check it out!"

"Quickly sort it out, and don't lose the original." He Xiongqi was afraid that his subordinates would misunderstand, so he changed Qin Zitan's original words, causing a misunderstanding, so he kept the original and ordered, "I After meeting with Goryeo, you read it to me. If there is no mistake, send a fast cavalry to Liaoyang, and face the king of Khan!"

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

After leaving the front yard, Qin Zitan rubbed the Taiyangtang, and did not sleep all night, and he was finally very tired. The servant behind him asked, "Sir, tell me without reservation, if the Donghu people build an elite water camp along the way, it may not be good for Zhejiang and Fujian!"

"The Huaidong Water Camp is so easy to chew, it won't be a headache like today," Qin Zitan did not hold back what he said last night. It was almost the result of his thinking about naval warfare in recent years, and he said that he stood above everyone else. , otherwise it would not be enough to impress the people of Donghu, but he did it with other thoughts, and explained with a smile to the squires behind him, "It is not so easy to build an elite water camp. Donghu has no shipyard, no craftsmen, and no skilled sailors. There are also no navy generals, so when He Xiongqi came here, he still wanted to use Gaoli's naval power to harass the Jinhai grain road and achieve the purpose of weakening the Yanbei defense line..."

"The Jinhai Grain Road has the double protection of the Jinghai Water Camp and the Dengzhou Water Camp, how can it be so easy to be harassed?" The state navy, let alone the Jinghai camp, and the Koreans may not be willing to be driven by the Donghu people.”

"Even if they listened to what they said last night and wanted to build a water camp, they wouldn't be able to compete in a short period of time," Qin Zitan said with a smile, "I see Donghu's battle on the front line in Yanbei, if they insist on besieging Datong with heavy troops, attracting Li Zhuo dispatched reinforcements to fight the annihilation of the reinforcements around Datong, which would consume the imperial court's troops on the northern front. It is a better policy. They really have to spend a lot of energy to build the water camp. Isn't it a good thing for Zhejiang and Fujian to invest in the war in the direction of Datong? If the Donghu people do not build a water camp themselves, but choose to urge the Korean people to build a water camp, if the Korean people have a strong navy, the Donghu people will control Korea. It will inevitably weaken, so why not do it?"

"It's a good idea, sir!" The squire agreed.

"The current containment and suppression of Huaidong is the common will of the two families. Let's see if there is a chance to send a ship back to Jin'an in the near future, and ask the Hou Ye for instructions on this matter," Qin Zitan said, "If we can form a secret alliance with Donghu, Gaoli The attitude towards Huaidong can be dominated by Donghu; if I go to Kyushu Island and persuade those Fusang vassal states, I can do more with less..."

"Crossing the sea at this time, I'm afraid it will be dangerous!" Hu Cong said worriedly.

"From the west end of Danluo to the east end, there are 160 to 70 miles of land, and further east, the surging sea is hundreds of miles away, and Huaidong warships can completely block it?" Qin Zitan smiled and said, "Now The key is to promote Goryeo's massive use of troops on Danluo Island! That's enough to give Huaidong a headache!"

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

Under the urging of Donghu envoy Na Hexiongqi and others, the attitude of Korea towards the war on Danluo Island soon came together.

Regardless of the heavy snow blocking the road, the post cavalry in black armor galloped out of Hanyang Mansion one after another. With the edict of the Haidong Emperor, they mobilized the troops and horses of the county and county to gather in Haiyang to form the Pinghuai Army, which means "Peace and Peace". Destroy Huaidong".

State Minister Zuo Jing led the Pinghuai Army, and appointed Donghu envoy Na Hexiongqi as deputy commander of the unified army. When Hexiongqi was sent to Gaoli as an envoy, he was accompanied by two thousand fine horses.

In addition, Goryeo formed the Pinghuai Water Division, drawing water troops from various counties and counties, and assigning the commander of the Pinghuai Water Division to the commander of the water army in Shannan County.

At the same time, the manuscript of the night conversation secretly copied by He Xiongqi's envoy was also sent to Liaoyang by Kuaiqi.

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

As early as more than a thousand years ago, General Yan of the Warring States Period established a county on the Liaohe River and built Xiangping City, which was later changed to Yanzhou City. The forces of all parties are competing for each other, and the number of wars, big or small, is unknown. When the Yuan clan established the country and seized Liaodong from the Koreans, the city was officially named Liaoyang. Donghu won the old county in Liaodong, and moved the capital here in the past, with the determination to manage Liaodong and the Central Plains from the south.

After the Donghu people settled Liaoyang as their capital, they began to operate them on a grand scale. They successively built new cities and palaces on the east bank of the Prince River. Now Liaoyang has become Yanbeixiong County.

In the Royal Garden of the North Palace, the cold snow covered the sky, and the branches of the winter willows by the Prince Edward River were covered with frost and snow.

Listening to the wind pavilion has no cover on all sides, but there is a dark furnace in the ground to burn charcoal for warmth. People in the pavilion do not feel cold at all without the headwind blowing ~www.wuxiamtl.com~.

Ye Jier, the king of Donghu Khan, was wearing a leather jacket to keep out the cold, sitting in the Tingfeng Pavilion. His face was pale, his skinny fingers were pressed on the manuscript, and he said to the concubine Ai who was serving behind him: "This Qin Zitan is really a talent. After talking all night, he talked about the boat division's management of the army and the battle, regardless of thickness. Thorough. Liaodong can be compared with him, but there are only three or five people. With this manuscript, Liaodong wants to set up a navy master, and there are traces to be found..."

That Heshi was lightly wrapped in pure white fox furs, she was a little afraid of the cold, and said, "He knows that Liaodong's mind is in Yanxi at this time, but he is so heartfelt about the benefits of the sea, and he details the water master's Dao, I don't think he has any good intentions!"

"During the Warring States period, Qin and Han fought each other, and the Han faction went to Qin State to offer advice to slender the canal, so as to achieve the purpose of consuming Qin State's national strength and preserving South Korea. Qin State later learned about South Korea's plan, and captured this delicate work and asked for it to be executed. I made a detailed rebuttal to the King of Qin: 'I offer this strategy, which can protect Korea from perishing for ten years, but it can protect the foundation of the Qin country for a long time. It is a small contribution to Korea and a great contribution to Qin State. What's the sin?'" Ye Jier laughed road.

"King Khan is determined to set up a navy in Jinzhou?" Na Heshi asked.

"Currently, the main focus is to urge Korea to expand the naval army, but Jinzhou also needs to set up a water camp immediately, without drawing too much effort from Yanxi," Ye Jier said, "If my Master Wang can break through Yanbei and go south, or join Huaidong with Huaidong. , Or there will be a battle at sea with Zhejiang and Fujian, and you can't just crawl at that time! In addition, you can write a book for me to Na Hexiongqi, and ask him to enter into a secret alliance with the luxury family in Hanyang, and the conditions can be relaxed. It’s okay to take Huaihuai as the boundary, but in the final analysis, you have to rely on strength to speak.” My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
