"Yingzhou? You said you were going to Yingzhou before? Do you know where Yingzhou is?" Hearing this, Zou Yan suddenly lost his composure. He jumped up from the boat and hit the wooden board on the top of the boat. He didn't even bother to cry out in pain.
asked in a voice.
This is Yingzhou. Legend has it that countless able men and women with lofty ideals have been pursuing the fairyland all their lives, loving it but not finding it, and seeking it but never seeing it. These soldiers actually said they wanted to go to Yingzhou!
"This gentleman is..." Yuan Hua looked Zou Yan up and down, and then remembered that there seemed to be no such person on the ship. Could it be that he had already landed? I was unconscious for such a long time?
Sun He quickly recounted what had just happened, and then Yuan Hua realized that not only was he not on the shore, but he was still very far away from the shore.
However, Zou Yan was indeed very powerful in being able to get here by boat, and his medical skills were superb, at least better than those of the army doctors... and he saved himself again.
In addition, Zou Yan had a great reputation and Yuan Hua had heard of him more than once, so he was subconsciously willing to believe him.
"Although we have never been to Yingzhou, we have a map and heard that there is gold and silver everywhere there." Yuan Hua said.
"There is gold and silver everywhere? Yes, yes, that's right, that's Yingzhou." Zou Yan was a little confused at first, but then nodded repeatedly, shouldn't there be gold and silver everywhere in Immortal Mountain? "Where is the map? Show me to me."
臇
Yuan Hua did not refuse and winked at Sun He.
Sun He took the map and handed it to Zou Yan.
"Your... direction is not heading to Yingzhou." Zou Yan opened the map and said with some confusion.
"We encountered a storm yesterday and lost half of the warships. We don't have enough food and fresh water, so now we can only return to Zhao State and repair before heading to Yingzhou." Sun He sighed, and the faces of other people on the ship were also full of emotions.
lonely.
This was the most serious loss in the history of the Zhao Navy. Several years of hard work were ruined in one blow. Everyone had familiar companions who sank to the bottom of the sea, leaving no corpse behind.
If we encountered a powerful and invincible enemy, everyone would be able to accept it, but in fact we didn't even encounter an enemy. We just encountered a bigger storm, which made everyone miserable.
It is a very big blow to the spirit of the big guy.
"I know where there is fresh water and food. I will take you there. At your speed, we will arrive in one day. Once we have replenished the fresh water and food, we will go to Yingzhou immediately." Zou Yan said excitedly.
The fairy mountain he has been pursuing for so many years is right in front of him, and he can't wait any longer. Where can he wait for Yuan Hua to return to Zhao Kingdom, and then he doesn't know when to set off again.
To put it bluntly, even if it was fake, he would have to go and have a look to feel at ease, otherwise he would not be able to sleep at night.
Sun He did not speak, but looked at Yuan Hua. Only Yuan Hua could make the decision in this matter.
"What is the extent of the damage to the ship?" Yuan Hua thought for a moment and asked.
"If we can park for a day or two, repairing the damaged areas will not be a problem," Ou Yeshou said.
"Mr. Are you sure you can help us find food and fresh water?" Finally, Yuan Hua looked at Zou Yan and asked seriously.
After all, this was the navy's first mission. Half of the warships were lost before they reached Yingzhou. Yuan Hua felt very regretful.
After returning to Zhao Kingdom, even if Zhao Kuo did not reprimand him, he would feel uncomfortable. If Zou Yan could really lead them to find fresh water and food, he would not mind taking Zou Yan to Yingzhou.
"There is a big island not far to the east. There is fresh water there, and there are also tribes of savages. When we get there, we will directly grab their food." Zou Yan said excitedly, and he danced with his hands, making him look like a great magician.
.
"Okay, then I will listen to sir's orders and turn around and head east." Yuan Hua decided to trust Zou Yan for once. Now that we are all on the same boat, we will either live together or die together. The other party should not deceive him.
"That's how it should be, that's how it should be." Zou Yan said repeatedly.
One day later, Zou Yan led Zhao Jun to a large island, which was later named Jeju Island.
"Are you sure there is someone on this island?" Yuan Hua looked at the desolate area in front of him. There were exposed rocks everywhere. It didn't look like it could be inhabited.
"Don't worry, there are uncivilized savages on the island. They live in tribes and are even more backward than we were in ancient times. As long as we can find their tribe, we can grab food." Zou Yan jumped off the boat skillfully and walked towards the island.
go.
As for robbing the barbarians of their food, bah, as for spreading civilization, Zou Yan didn't have any inner pressure.
"Sun He, you take 700 people to stay here to protect the warship. I will take the rest of the people to follow the old man to find food." Yuan Hua saw Zou Yan walking farther and farther and turned back to Sun He and said.
"General, you haven't recovered yet, so let me go," Sun He said.
"It's okay, Zou Yan is here." Yuan Hua pointed at Zou Yan with the corner of his mouth. Judging from his actions just now, it was obvious that he was also a man of great martial virtue.
Zou Yan was right. There were indeed savages living in groups on the island. They were dressed in tree bark, holding wooden knives and forks, with their upper bodies and legs exposed. After seeing Zou Yan, they screamed and rushed forward angrily. They should
There is no stable and systematic language yet.
Zou Yan was not a man of strong words either. With a sweep of his sleeves, he swatted away the barbarians who were coming towards him without even moving his beard.
The savage got up from the ground and looked fearfully at Zou Yan and Zhao Jun coming behind him. After hesitating again and again, he turned around and fled towards the mountain in a hurry.
"We just need to follow them. They have no IQ and don't know how to go around in circles. They must be running straight towards the tribe." Zou Yan said easily.
Yuan Hua said nothing and followed Zou Yan silently. Half an hour later, he found the gathering place of the savage tribe.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of savages surrounded them...
"Come on!" Yuan Hua waved his hand and said.
There was no need to command or fight. Half an hour later, there were only a few savages lying on the ground, and more savages hiding not far away who did not dare to come forward. They looked angrily at Yuan Hua's hard work in moving them away.
Stored grain.
Yuan Hua did not loot all the food stored by the savages, but only took away about one-third of the food.
It's not that he has a good heart, but that he thinks that when he goes to Yingzhou in the future, he might as well use this island as a transit point. If all the savages starve to death, they won't be able to receive food...
"This must not be the first time that the old gentleman has done something like this." Yuan Hua looked at Zou Yan with a scrutinizing gaze. If he hadn't known the other party's name, Yuan Hua would have suspected that he was a bandit who started out as a bandit and was more skilled in robbery than him.
"I don't do it often, I have no choice." Zou Yan scratched his head in embarrassment, "Actually, there is a big island in the north where there are more savages, but it's a bit far away."
In this way, it took two days for Zou Yan and Yuan Hua to loot four tribes and finally filled the cabin.
Ou Yeshou also led the shipwright to repair the damaged ship.
"Let's go." Yuan Hua stood on the bow of the ship, waving his trident vigorously, pointing the tip of the trident forward, and said energetically.
