The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 73
Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?

This sentence is not very accurate to describe people who have not experienced it personally, but have heard it, seen it, and have a little understanding.

From Ming Dynasty to Zhou Dynasty, the sea ban policy for hundreds of years really made most people ignorant of the power of the sea.

I don't even understand that there is a world of difference between big boats and small boats.

Otherwise, it cannot explain how the tens of thousands of Jin soldiers in history dared to cross the sea to attack Phi Island with only eleven ships.

He had wanted to kill Geng Bingyuan a long time ago, but because of the opponent's strength, there was nothing he could do about him, and now the opponent was coming to his door.

Tang Qing'an led the generals to set up fortifications along the coastline.

"This time, I will let the other party come and go, and I will not let anyone go."

"As ordered."

Everyone was full of confidence and morale.

"Sir, it's really hard work for you. If you win this time, it's all thanks to your husband."

Tang Qing'an turned his head and looked at Xie Youcheng.

Xie Youcheng replied with a smile: "To serve the country, I am willing."

The former barbarian accused him of misreporting military information and wanted to kill him. He explained that he didn't understand military affairs, and he was forgiven for making mistakes. After all, he was the first to report the news.

In the end, he was saved by Zhao Gouyong. He was punished with [-] army sticks, but he could not escape the death penalty.

Fortunately, the sergeants were secretly ordered, and they were merciful. They only recovered after lying down for more than a month, and their health has not fully recovered.

It can be said that Tang Qing'an has [-]% of the credit for his network of contacts in various places in Fuzhou.

"What you are doing is really dangerous, do you want to send your family to the island?"

Xie Youcheng knew that Tang Qing'an had good intentions, but he still refused.

"My family is in Fuxian County, so there is no difficulty in sending them to the island, but it is easy to arouse people's suspicion, which is not conducive to the general's plan."

Hearing this, Tang Qing'an could only sigh.

Whether it is Mao Wenlong in history or himself now, these righteous men occupy a very important role in the credit book.

On the other side of the sea, Geng Bingyuan also prepared his army and chose Nanxinkou.

This place is the closest to Changxing Island, and you can overlook the southeast of Changxing Island, and there are no soldiers guarding it.

Set up camp here, and the defenders from all over the country continued to come.

Yongning Jiancheng, Xinjin, Hongzui Fort...even the guards from Lushun were mobilized, and finally a total of [-] soldiers were mobilized.

Among them, there are three hundred barbarians from Jinzhou, more than one hundred barbarians from Fuzhou, and the rest are all surrendered soldiers from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Half of them were recruited by Geng Bingyuan himself, so he is full of confidence.

As for the [-] barbarians sent earlier, they had already returned on horseback.

In half a month, more than a thousand people from all over the country have built hundreds of rafts, twenty of which are connected into one body, and can carry more than fifty people.

Guo Ying, who was guarding Lushun, sighed after receiving the transfer order from Jinzhou Geng Bingyuan. He actually didn't want to fight, but wanted to be a turtle in Lushun.

The clerk asked for an interview, and came in with a strange expression.

"General, there is an old friend asking to see you."

"Old man?"

Guo Ying frowned.

Now that he is a barbarian guard, how can there be any old friends? This old word made his heart tremble, and he couldn't escape it.

"Have you seen the general?"

The clerk looked a little nervous.

Guo Ying glanced at the document and nodded silently.

A secret, not a secret to some.

He had already expected through the reactions of some subordinates that someone was secretly joining forces. The former Jinzhou guard Geng Bingyuan killed a few people, which also eased the movement of Lushun.

"Oh it's you."

Seeing the person coming, Guo Ying suddenly realized.

This person turned out to be a local Wei Qian official in Fuzhou, and he had also met him face to face, so he was so courageous.

"General Guo, long time no see, but the complexion on your face has changed."

"My complexion has turned pale because I've been restless recently, and you should know the reason."

"It's my fault."

The man smiled confidently, without a trace of fear.

"Thank you, I didn't realize that you are so courageous that you are not afraid of losing your head."

Hearing that the other party called him his old job, Xie Youcheng had a bottom line in his heart.

"Because everyone's heart is for the imperial court, why should I be afraid?"

"Not necessarily."

"Since this is the case, the general should not see me, but I will send it directly to Geng Bingyuan. This person has worked hard to find out who is connecting with him within his rule. The general will send me to another place. It will be a great service."

"Humph."

Guo Ying snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Xie Youcheng no longer concealed his intention of coming, and asked Guo Ying if he would like to anyway.

"So what, anyway?"

"Geng Bingyuan used the short to attack the long, and wanted to cross the sea to attack Changxing Island. This is the way to die, but it can't be done in the end.

If the general is anyway, he can restore Jinfu and Erzhou, and the court will definitely reward him heavily. "

Xie Youcheng looked at Guo Ying sincerely.

"General, we are Han Chinese after all, and you are a hereditary general who has served Great Zhou since our ancestors.

Let’s not talk about the merits of being loyal to the king. Da Zhou is not mean to the general. Is the general willing to ignore his ancestors? "

a long time.

"Jinfu Erzhou, I am not the only one who will surrender, how many people have you contacted?"

Xie Youcheng was overjoyed.

"I have never been arrested. The general can see a thing or two. I am not afraid of the general's suspicion. No one is unwilling anyway."

"Then why don't you let Geng Bingyuan anyway?"

Guo Ying stabbed.

"This person disregards human relations and disrespects his ancestors. He is a beast, and he will die without a place to bury him."

Guo Ying heard the words and sighed.

Within a few days, Guo Ying led his troops into the Nanxin camp, met Geng Bingyuan, and then ordered his men to set up camp.

He raised his head and looked at the camp full of military tents.

But Xie Youcheng was cunning, and he was very strict about who decided to go anyway.

Guo Ying looked around in a daze, with no idea in his heart.

A sea cut off the eyes and ears of the barbarians, making the barbarians blind.

But he knew the situation of the barbarians well.

Tang Qing'an was in the highland forest, facing each other across the sea, watching the raft on the other side that had already started to be lowered, and there was a lot of voices.

My biggest advantage is my heart.

This is due to the century-old orthodoxy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it cannot be eliminated by the barbarians after a few victories.

When hundreds of rafts from the other side drifted along the mighty coast, Tang Qing'an asked the buglers to wave the command flag.

This strait is less than three miles, which is [-] paces.

This is Geng Bingyuan's confidence.

When hundreds of boats came out of the ditch, the loud shouts of killing made Geng Bingyuan on the other side turn pale with fright.

The corners of Tang Qing'an's mouth curled up.

This is the confidence to use the sea to control barbarism.

There were more than a thousand people on this trip, all of them were the elite of Geng Bingyuan's army, including the barbarians who were also on the raft, and they wanted to hit them with one blow.

Before the big boat got close to the raft, all kinds of firearms fired continuously.

The soldiers on the raft were not familiar with water, and the raft shook so badly that they couldn't even stand up. The barbarians in the team were even more unbearable.

"Bang bang bang."

Bird guns fired at once.

Then dozens of sand boats smashed the raft to pieces.
