Waiting for Tian to return to Qi, attack Ji along the coast. As the name suggests, it is the Huling navy of Li Qi and others. When Qi's famous generals Tian Dan, Tian Wu and others have almost led the army to return to Qi for assistance, they will immediately lead the fleet to sea and along the
The coastline went north and attacked Jicheng, the capital of South Korea.
The "sea" mentioned here refers to the "North Sea (Bohai)", also called Bohai.
Shunji River flows down to Beihai, then goes north and goes upstream from Haihe River. After passing "Jingang (Tianjin)", the branch of the coastal river "? Shui (Yongding River)" goes upstream again and you can directly reach
Jicheng, the royal capital of South Korea.
Lord Chu Shui of Chu State, General Xiang Mo and others, as well as Qi State's right minister Tian Bao, scholar-bureaucrat Guan Zhong, Uncle Bao, and even Tian Dan, Tian Wu and others who were anxious to lead their troops back to Linzi, almost everyone
They thought that the Huling navy of Wei State returned from Dingtao and shot Linzi with a single shot in order to sneak attack the capital of Qi State. But in fact, these people guessed wrong.
The Huling navy of Wei State actually had two purposes in attacking Linzi. The first was to force the State of Qi to recall the troops led by Tian Dan, Tian Wu and others, so as to reduce the pressure on the Wei army stationed in Changyi, Song County; the second was to take "
"Sneak attack on Linzi" was used as a cover, but they actually followed Jishui to Beihai and went north to make a sneak attack on Jicheng, the capital of South Korea.
Yes, this is the real purpose of King Zhao Run of Wei.
Almost everyone turned their attention to Qi State, but the strategy in the eyes of Wei King Zhao Run was the entire Central Plains.
I have to say that at this point, no one can keep up with Zhao Run yet.
On the third day of June, as Tian Dan led hundreds of thousands of troops back to Linzi, Linzi finally had full confidence in expelling the Wei army on the river, and then recovered the lost Boxing County and Boxing Port.
However, just when Tian Dan, who had rested for the night, was about to lead his troops to attack the fleet of Wei general Chen Bin on the Zishui River, he strangely saw that the Wei warships slowly withdrew from Zishui.
, returned to the Zishui branch.
"Could the Wei army be preparing to retreat to Boxing?"
Qi Jiang Tian Dan was very puzzled by this.
It is undeniable that Tian Dan was also a very famous general in the world, but he thought that his fame was not enough to scare away the Wei army. If it was not enough to scare away the Wei army, then why did the Wei army retreat for no reason?
Tian Dan couldn't understand.
He just had a bad feeling in his heart.
But he couldn't care about that much at the moment. Since the Wei army chose to withdraw from Zishui, he immediately divided his troops and ordered general "Dongguo Pleiades" to lead his Langya army to station in "Anping", a county not far from the other side of the Linzi River, to prevent
Wei Jun suddenly killed another carbine.
But the strange thing is that after being deployed to defend Linzi and Anping, the Wei army that retreated to the Zishui branch still did not come back.
Seeing this, Tian Dan decided to take the initiative and take advantage of the situation to regain Boxing. After all, Boxing was the waterway gateway to Linzi, and it was bound to be recaptured.
However, he would never have imagined that at this time in Boxing Port, the deputy general of the Huling Navy of the Wei State, Li Qi, had issued the order "The entire army will flow out to sea along the Jishui River." All the Wei troops were preparing to go to sea.
Prepare for sailing.
They half-emptied Boxing Port and Boxing County's food and loaded it all onto the ship. Immediately, the Tiger warships and escorting sterns slowly and smoothly sailed down the Jishui River.
By the time Qi's generals Tian Dan and Tian Tao and the Korean general Bao Yuan led hundreds of thousands of soldiers to Boxing County, at least half of Wei's Huling navy had already retreated, and the remaining warships were
Still retreating slowly towards Jishui.
Seeing this scene from a distance, no matter how Tian Tan, Bao Yuan and others felt, Tian Dan's heart skipped a beat, and soon, a familiar feeling gradually enveloped his heart.
"So similar..."
Tian Dan, who was sitting astride the war horse, subconsciously tightened the reins.
He was extremely familiar with this scene. He thought that when he was in Ningyang, the then Wei Gongzi Run had played with him like this. It was almost the same recipe and the same taste.
"That bastard!"
He cursed in a low voice, attracting the attention of Tian Tao and Bao Yuan.
"Your guess is correct."
After taking a look at Tian Dan, Tian Dan suppressed the anger in his heart and said bitterly: "The Wei army's attack on Linzi was just a pretense. In order to force a certain person and Tian Wu back from Song County... Such a trick must be
It was written by King Zhao Run of Wei!"
Seeing the veins popping up in Tian Dan's hand holding the reins, Tian Tao also guessed a bit and changed the topic and said: "Anyway, these Wei warships have returned to Jishui, which is also a good thing for me in Linzi, but...
..." He raised his head and glanced at the Wei warships that were slowly evacuating on the river, frowned and said, "I don't know where this Wei army will go next."
"This is simple."
After Tian Dan said a word, he rode his horse straight towards the intersection of Jishui and Zishui branches. Tian Tao and Bao Yuan took a look and immediately followed.
After a while, the group arrived at the intersection of the branches of Jishui River and Zishui River. Only then did they notice that the warships of the Wei State were slowly heading downstream of Jishui River.
Seeing this, Tian Tao frowned and said: "Looking at the direction of these Wei warships, it seems that they are going to the North Sea... Could they be attacking our coastal city of Daqi?"
Hearing this, Tian Dan also frowned and said, "That's probably it...I think this Wei army is coming because our Qi army is tired of running back and forth and unable to send troops to assist Chu State in conquering Wei State."
After that, he summoned a few cavalry guards behind him and ordered them: "Immediately lead hundreds of cavalry to follow the whereabouts of these Wei warships, and send people to Linzi every two hours."
"yes!"
Several escorts rode away in response.
At this moment, no one, whether Tian Dan, Tian Tao, or Bao Yuan, connected the whereabouts of this Wei army with South Korea, and still mistakenly believed that this Wei army was going to attack the coastal cities of Qi.
.
The reason for this situation is, on the one hand, the limitation of strategic vision, and on the other hand, it is also because they are more worried about Qi State because they are from Qi State, so the first thing they think of is the safety of their own country.
About an hour later, the last Wei Tiger warship, protected by several escort ships, slowly withdrew from Jishui and headed down the river towards the North Sea.
Seeing this, Tian Tao, Tian Dan, Bao Yuan and others led their troops to Boxing County and Boxing Port, preparing to appease the people.
It must be admitted that the quality and discipline of the Wei army are definitely among the best among the Central Plains countries at that time. No, when Tian Bao, Tian Bao, Bao Yuan and others led the army to garrison the port and the county, he discovered that the security order in the port and the county
There was no chaos, and the people in the city continued to live as usual.
Seeing this scene, Right Prime Minister Tian Tao sincerely praised: "The Wei army's strict military discipline is evident."
Bao Yuan also nodded, but Tian Dan was not in a happy mood because he predicted that he and Tian Wu might be tricked by King Zhao Run of Wei again, so he snorted and said nothing.
In fact, to be honest, after Wei general Cai Qinhu captured Boxing County, he did not commit any crimes against the county town. At least the aristocratic families and gentry with big mansions in the city were robbed by Wei soldiers.
As for the money obtained from looting, Wei Jun used their purchase of grain stored in people's homes in the city to call it acquisition. In fact, it was also considered a forced sale. However, the money in Wei Jun's hands was obtained by robbing large households in the city.
It doesn't hurt to spend it, so strictly speaking, the residents of the city who were forcibly bought and sold actually took advantage.
But no matter what, the Wei army did not kill people because of robbery or forced buying and selling, unless the Qi people in the city attacked them first.
This point is clearly stipulated in the military discipline of the Wei army: if someone attacks one's own soldiers, they will be retaliated tenfold; in addition, after the city is captured, innocent people are not allowed to be killed indiscriminately.
This military discipline of the Wei army is now well-known in the Central Plains. Therefore, after Boxing County was captured by the Wei army, even if some wealthy families in the city were plundered by the Wei soldiers, they did not dare to make any mistakes, lest they accidentally hurt someone.
Wei died and was retaliated by the Wei army.
As a result, both parties lived in peace. Although some things were robbed by the Wei army in Boxing County, the personal injuries were not serious, and could even be said to be minimal.
Compared with the "Chu-Qi War" that year, when the Chu army captured Sishui County and Donghai County, they looted and massacred in various counties within the two counties, the Wei army can be said to be kind and upright.
After briefly counting the losses, Tian Tao, Tian Dan, and Bao Yuan gathered together again.
"The granaries in the county were emptied, and the rice shops in the port were also robbed... There were casualties. Only Wei general Cai Qinhu sacrificed hundreds of county soldiers when he attacked Boxing County... It must be said that
So far as I’m concerned, the loss is not big, it’s a blessing among the misfortunes.”
The phrase "lucky among misfortunes" in Tian Yi's mouth actually refers to the fact that the Wei army did not set fire to the city and port to burn them to ashes before evacuating, which made him feel emotional again.
Although it was strange to say this, he really had to sincerely thank the Wei army for showing mercy. Otherwise, he could only inform Linzi and ask Linzi to gather the refugees who had lost their homes here.
After counting the losses and appeasing the people, Tian Ba asked Tian Ba: "What are your plans next?"
Tian Dan thought for a while and said: "Although this Wei army has withdrawn, there is no guarantee that it will not attack our coastal city of Daqi again. I plan to temporarily garrison "Ye County"... After that, we will see what happens to the Wei army."
Tian Tao nodded after hearing this: "This is indeed the safest way."
The next day, Tian Dan led his troops to rush to Ye County first, lest he would not be able to support him when the Huling navy of Wei State attacked the coastal city.
What I didn't expect was that just after Tian Dan led the army to set off, the hundreds of cavalry he had sent out to keep an eye on Wei's Huling navy returned to Boxing County and attacked the troops who were still in the county.
Tian Bao, the right minister, reported a shocking news: after the Wei warship sailed out of Jishui and reached the North Sea, it had no intention of going south at all, and the whole ship actually went north in unison!
"North? Isn't that just..."
After hearing the news, Qi State's Right Prime Minister Tian Bao's expression changed drastically.
How could he not know that Jicheng, the capital of South Korea, can be reached directly from Beihai?
"not good!"
He exclaimed and quickly found Bao Yuan, the Han general who was also in the city, and revealed the urgent military information to the latter.
"What? The Wei army wants to attack our Jicheng city in Han Dynasty?!"
Bao Yuan was also shocked when he learned about this.
No wonder he was so nervous. After all, Beihai already belonged to the rear area of "all countries fighting against Wei". Who would have thought that this place would become a battlefield?
Precisely because he did not foresee it, South Korea did not deploy troops in the North Sea at all. How could it withstand Wei's Huling Navy?
Thinking of this, Bao Yuan hurriedly said to Tian Tao: "Right Prime Minister, please allow me to go to Julu immediately and inform Julu Shouyan Crepe of this matter. If it's too late... everything will be over!"
Tian Tao also understood the seriousness of this matter and immediately ordered people to prepare mounts for Bao Yuan.
Immediately, Baoyuan bid farewell to Tian Tao and rushed to Julu City with his followers without stopping.
But unfortunately, Linzi is six to seven hundred miles away from Julu. Although Baoyuan traveled day and night and rushed non-stop, it still took him a full nine days to reach Julu City.
In early June, the Huling navy led by Wei generals Li Ji, Cai Qinhu, Zhou Kui, Li Huo, Chen Si and others sailed to the North Sea and slowly headed north along the coast.
I saw this navy, with more than sixty Tigers in the center, and nearly a hundred guard ships guarding the sides. This number alone is enough to make people fear.
It has to be said that sailing in Weishan Lake and Jishui is completely different from sailing on the sea. For example, when they just sailed into the North Sea, the wind and waves on the sea were so huge that the Wei soldiers of the Huling Navy were in a hurry.
Fortunately, the North Sea is an inland sea in the Central Plains, and the wind and waves are not the largest. In addition, the Tiger warship has a large hull and a heavy draft, so it is not too bumpy. It is a hardship for the Wei soldiers guarding the stern. Due to the bumps,
Many soldiers were vomiting.
This is still sailing along the coast, otherwise, the situation will be more serious.
But in general, these problems are not big, and the Wei soldiers on the boat can barely overcome them. The question is, where can we sail into the Haihe River?
This problem has troubled Li Wei and other Wei generals for a long time.
Although they all have a rough map of South Korea, this does not mean that they can accurately touch the mouth of the Haihe River where it flows into the sea. After all, there are several rivers in South Korea that flow into the North Sea.
For this reason, he invited Zhou Kui, Cai Qinhu, Li Huo, and Chen Si to his flagship halfway to discuss the matter together.
At first, these five generals were unable to do anything, until Zhou Kui had an idea and said: "Your Majesty is so far-sighted that he can come up with such a brilliant strategy while leaving omissions? I think someone will definitely show us the way."
Hearing this, Li Qian's heart moved.
In this era, it is common for various countries to send spies and spies to other countries. Li Qian does not believe that Jicheng, the capital of South Korea, does not have spies and spies from Wei.
He thought for a while and said: "In that case, let's slow down our speed and watch the coast carefully."
The other four nodded repeatedly.
Facts have proved that Zhao Run, the monarch of Wei State, had indeed considered this issue long ago.
No, when the huge fleet of Huling Navy sailed to the mouth of the Haihe River into the sea, they saw a dozen men standing on the coast from a distance, waving flags with the word "Wei" towards the fleet.
"It should be here."
Li Ji nodded secretly, ordered all ships in the fleet to stop sailing, and immediately ordered a guard stern to pick up the dozen men on the shore.
"How do you call them?"
After seeing these dozen men, Li Qian asked.
After hearing this, one of the dozen men clasped his fists and said, "I'm in Yayajiu, these are all my brothers."
"Green Crows?" Li Qian asked in surprise.
The man, no, Yajiu smiled slightly when he heard this, took out a token from his arms, and handed it to Li Qian.
Li Qian took a closer look and found that although the token was a bit old, he could still clearly see the words "Shangshui Green Crow" and "Crow Nine" engraved on it.
Returning the token to Yajiu, Li Qian cupped his fists and said, "This is the deputy general of this army, Li Qian."
Yajiu was stunned when he heard this and asked: "Could it be Li Qi, the former deputy general of the Jun Navy?"
"Exactly." Li Qi said with a smile: "However, now there is no more Junshui Army, only the "Junshui"..."
He pointed at the Tiger warship flagship at his feet.
After some pleasantries, Li Ji pointed to the mouth of the river in the distance and asked Yajiu: "Yajiu, where can I get direct access to Jicheng?"
"Of course!" Yajiu nodded and said: "This is the Haihe River. When our army enters the river and goes upstream, we can reach "Jin Port", where we can sail into the river, or what the locals call it.
Ji Shui, you can go straight to Ji City..." At this point, he clasped his fists again and said seriously: "I have been ordered to guide the way for the army."
"Good work."
Li Qi also clasped his fists in return. After all, the other party was one of the leaders of the Blue Crows, so he should not be ignored.
Just as many warships of the Huling navy were preparing to sail into the Haihe River, Yajiu asked Li Qi: "General Li Qi, have any traces been discovered by the Koreans along the way?"
Hearing this, Li Ji nodded helplessly: "On the first day our army set out from Beihai, we ran into a merchant ship. It was probably bound for Qi. The other party bypassed it at a distance, so I ignored it.
On that day, while sailing along the coast, some fishermen saw traces of our army..."
Just as he was talking, a fleet of about seven or eight ships sailed out from the Haihe River in front, with the bright "Han" flag hanging on the ship.
Seeing these ships, Yajiu explained to Li Qi: "The weapons carried on these ships are probably the weapons forged by Jicheng for the Chu State. In the past two years, South Korea has forged a lot of weapons for the Chu State..."
Hearing this, Li Qian nodded and ordered without hesitation: "Sink them!"
At this time, the Korean soldiers on the seven or eight Korean ships opposite had obviously seen the huge Huling Navy. They were frightened and wanted to turn their boats around and return to the Haihe River. However, the current of the Haihe River was quite fast.
, so that these ships were washed up by the current in front of the Huling navy.
"Bang bang bang bang"
The Wei Liannu on more than a dozen Tiger warships fired at the same time, immediately hitting the several Korean ships that were close at hand until the hulls were leaking. Although the Korean soldiers on these Korean warships also fought back immediately, but that
The sparse crossbow arrows were unable to cause any effective damage to the Wei army.
In a short time, these seven or eight ships were sunk by the Wei army. Unfortunately, there were still about six or seven Korean soldiers who jumped into the water to escape immediately after being attacked and swam toward the shore.
Li Ji originally wanted to give an order to pursue, but was stopped by Yajiu: "There is no need to pay attention to them. The top priority is to sail into the Haihe River and head to Jin Port. As long as our army captures Jin Port, let alone the empty defense in Jicheng area, even if there are sufficient troops,
But our army cannot..."
Li Qianshen thought so.
Immediately ordered, the whole ship sailed into the Haihe River and went straight to Tianjin Port.
At the same time, Han Jiang Baoyuan finally arrived in Julu City and met Julu Shou Yanju and frontline coach Le Yi...
