Hunjiang River.
Close to the shore of the Yalu River, there is a village called Liujiacun. The villagers lead a daily life of fishing and farming. Pick up a hoe when farming is busy, and fish when farming is slack.
Now is the time for farming.
but. This village was occupied by Wu Nian. The villagers in the village were secretly moved to live elsewhere.
evening.
In a courtyard surrounded by fences, there are three blue brick houses.
In the main room, the lights are bright. There is a group of soldiers performing guard duties outside the door.
Zhang Zhen, Lu Yanxun and other soldiers entered the main room carrying wine and food. A round table is placed in the center. Wu Nian is wearing a purple robe and a silk scarf on his head, sitting in the north position.
Zhang Zhen, Lu Yanxun and others put the food and wine on the table. Zhang Zhen picked up the wine pot, served Wu Nianman, picked up the wine cup and said, "Uncle."
Wu Nian nodded, reached out and took the wine cup, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. Then he looked up at Zhang Zhen and asked, "Are you afraid?"
"A little nervous, but more excited." Zhang Zhen shook his head, a red light appeared on his face, and his eyes sparkled.
"The general despises us. How can a man be afraid?" Lu Yanxun said with his head held high.
"Haha." Wu Nian chuckled, then waved his hand and said, "There are no nephews in the army. I won't treat you to a drink. Come on down."
"Yes." Zhang Zhen responded and retreated with Lu Yanxun and others.
Wu Nian lowered his head to look at the food and wine on the table, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and after finishing the meal in a hurry, he called Zhang Zhen and others to come in and clear away the plates.
Then he picked up a volume of military books, sat down on the Taishi chair, and read at night. After an unknown amount of time, he felt sleepy, so he put down the book, picked up the oil lamp on the coffee table, and entered the master bedroom to sleep.
Zhang Zhen, Lu Yanxun and other soldiers did not dare to neglect, holding spears and bows, standing guard or patrolling, surrounding the courtyard with water.
Early the next morning. With the soldiers waiting on him, Wu Nian got up calmly, washed up, had breakfast, and then went to the main room to recharge his batteries.
Wait until the time comes. He put on armor and a steel knife, and boarded six fishing boats with his soldiers. The fishing boat was first pushed out of the river bank by soldiers dressed as fishermen, and then moved along the river, slowly entering the Yalu River and heading towards a ferry guarded by the Goguryeo navy.
Target ferry.
There is a water fortress of the Goguryeo Navy. There are dozens of warships and 2,000 soldiers in the water stronghold. The guard is Li Tiansheng.
Such ferries were spread throughout the Yalu River, forming a network to prevent Wu Nian from crossing the river.
When Li Yunchong and Zhao Man successfully returned to Goguryeo. The defenses of these water strongholds are very tight. The soldiers are like tight bowstrings, and a terrifying atmosphere permeates the army.
Such a powerful 50,000 soldiers crossed the river and were almost wiped out.
The terror of the Liaodong tiger shocked everyone.
But with the arrival of Fusang's credentials, Goguryeo began to relax from top to bottom. Now in a blink of an eye, spring has passed and autumn has come.
The water village's defenses became even more relaxed.
In the big tent. Li Tiansheng got up early in the morning, and after a slow breakfast, he started playing with an infantry spear in the open space outside the tent.
Although his surname was Li, he was not from the same clan as the current Queen Mother. The reason why he can become a general and command two thousand soldiers depends on his military exploits.
In Goguryeo, there are so many wealthy families. With his background and his current status, this is already the pinnacle.
Going up is not impossible, but it requires incredible luck.
For example, he achieved great success in the battle with the Liaodong Tigers.
But it’s unlikely if you think about it.
Although everyone in Goguryeo did not think that Wu Nian dared to ignore the threat of the Fusang people and cross the Yalu River. But no one wanted to launch another campaign to attack Liaodong.
The last failure was too tragic. The Queen Mother was almost knocked to the ground. If anyone dared to propose troops to Liaodong, the Queen Mother would not agree.
So, his official career ends here. Live each day to the fullest and just wait for retirement.
I practiced spear and sword skills, and exercised my body a bit, breaking out in a sweat. Li Tiansheng raised his head and looked at the position of the sun, although it was still far away from noon. But he was already thinking about what to have for lunch.
"What a leisurely day." Li Tiansheng shook his head, returned to the tent, sat down, picked up the military book and read it.
Every line in the military book is written in Chinese characters. But in Li Tiansheng's eyes, it was unremarkable. For people like him, Chinese characters are too simple.
And in fact.
Many books have to use Chinese characters. Such as the book of war. Using Goguryeo's own characters and translating the book may cause ambiguity in some places.
All in all, Goguryeo's writing is not mature. The people who use it are civilians.
Lazy.
As the guard of this water village, Li Tiansheng exuded a lazy air. As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked.
Li Tiansheng is like this, and the soldiers below naturally follow his example.
But even so, the soldiers are doing what they should do. The water village is built half in the water and half on land.
The stockade surrounded the warships and set up gates to provide access for the warships.
today.
Under the arrangements of the officers, the soldiers performed lookout missions normally. A group of soldiers stood at the gate of the village, chatting and observing the movements on the Yalu River.
Soldiers are pretty much the same everywhere.
The camp was full of men, and the soldiers had not gone home for a long time. It's normal to tell each other dirty jokes and discuss which daughter-in-law and girl are from that family.
They were having a lively conversation.
Suddenly, a soldier noticed something unusual and said, "There is a big ship." The other soldiers turned their heads to look.
I saw five large ships traveling from south to north on the river.
This is normal. Although Goguryeo held water control rights, it did not dare to offend Wu Nian. An order was passed down from above not to seize Han Chinese ships.
Soldiers often saw Han Chinese ships and fishing boats sailing on the river. It’s just that Han boats generally sailed on the rivers on the Liaodong side.
These five large ships were sailing in the middle of the river, looking quite arrogant. Moreover, the scale of these five ships is also a bit large, which is abnormal.
"Dong dong dong!!!!" A soldier beat the gongs and drums. The soldiers on the shore reacted quickly. Immediately, more than a dozen warships carrying hundreds of soldiers sailed out of the water stronghold and headed straight for the five large ships.
The warship was moving very fast, and before the five large ships could react, it moved closer.
The Goguryeo soldiers looked up at the panicked faces of the sailors on the deck. An officer who knew Chinese immediately shouted: "If you don't want to die, just put down the rope and pull us over."
After saying that, the officer waved his hand. The Goguryeo soldiers on the warship immediately opened their crossbows and aimed at the sailors on the big ship.
The sailors were very panicked when they saw this, and after a while someone threw him off with a thick rope. The Goguryeo soldiers grabbed the rope and shortened the distance between the ships on both sides.
Then the Goguryeo soldiers began to board the ship, entering the cabin to inspect like tigers and wolves.
at the same time. Six small fishing boats quietly approached the water village.
