"How did you end up like this?"
When he saw his son again, even Wei Meng was completely stunned.
My son usually pays the most attention to his appearance. How could they end up like this on such an important occasion?
"Father!"
Wei Youqu fell to his knees and cried about what happened today.
"Did he really say that?"
After listening to his son's words, Wei Meng was completely stunned.
But, how is this possible?
He just sent people to capture a merchant ship. Do they need to make it so big?
"Father, the hundreds of followers brought by my son have all died for the country! How can there be any lie in this matter!"
While Wei Youqu was speaking, he fell to his knees again, covered his face and cried bitterly.
"You get up first!"
After the brief panic, Wei Meng began to calm down and his face became gloomy.
"Father, the humiliation of the Prime Minister and his ministers this time is a small matter, but if we just swallow it, I'm afraid it will only make the Han people think that we are weak and can be bullied!"
Although he knew that the strength of the Han people was not something he could compete with, Wei Meng still preferred his son's opinion.
Having been emperor for so many years, he naturally understood that everything was actually an excuse.
No matter what the Han wants to do, he must now prove himself with the sword before he can be qualified to negotiate.
"He is going to take those Han people out of prison now. Be careful and don't let people with ulterior motives silence them!"
Wei Meng took a deep breath and then said.
"By the way, Father, they said they were waiting for us in Bazhou, so did they come from the sea?"
Wei Youqu suddenly seemed to become smarter.
"Someone, go find Min Zhen for me!"
Wei Meng also reacted immediately.
If they really came from the sea, wouldn't this be his chance now?
Anyway, things have come to this point. Since the Han people have issued a kill order, there is no need for me to submit to them anymore.
"Father, what do you mean?"
After hearing what Wei Meng said, Wei Youqu suddenly understood.
"No matter whether we want to talk or fight in the future, this first battle must be won at this time. Since they are so strong, let's knock down their arrogance!"
Wei Meng's expression suddenly became serious.
"Although there are many Han people, our country's terrain is very mountainous. They won't be able to break in for a while. Let them see the power of our Wei navy!"
Wei Meng said with a sneer.
"Father is wise, my Wei family's naval force now has eighty ships. Five days should be enough for them all to reach Bazhou."
"Yes, the Han people have built a lot of large ships over the years, but as long as we can completely annihilate their maritime power, I believe that at least they will not be able to embarrass us in a short period of time!"
Although Mr. Qin had already received Liu Deng's order to block all nearby waters. However, until now, several large ships have never appeared in Wei's North Korea.
On the one hand, it is because their main focus now is on exploring routes and searching sea charts.
On the other hand, I also don’t want to expose my strength too early and want to wait for an opportunity to accomplish my best in one battle!
Mr. Qin has been with Zhao Wengu for such a long time and has learned a lot.
Especially in terms of strategic vision, it is completely different from the beginning.
These large ships are their trump card. How could they be exposed to these barbarians so easily?
In this day and age, even if you wanted to build a building ship in the Han Dynasty, it would take at least one to two years, let alone in such a wild place.
With primitive shipbuilding techniques, it would only take them longer to build ships. All the ships in Wei's Korea were accumulated by them over the past few decades.
It is because of the ships they have accumulated over the past few decades that they have been able to establish a firm foothold on this land.
Their merchant ships could continuously obtain what they wanted from the Han Dynasty or the Japanese Kingdom.
Compared with their confidence in the army, they actually have more confidence in their navy.
"Sir, do we need to leave in such a hurry? In the middle of the night..."
Han Sanjin was riding on a war horse, complaining softly as he hurried on.
"I've said everything I've said to you, and we've almost done what we need to do. At this time, Captain Wen and the others should have almost succeeded. If we don't move faster, their army will chase us. coming."
Shangguan Ban said with a casual smile while riding his horse.
"Captain Wen? What did they do?"
Hearing what Shangguan Ban said, Han Sanjin's eyes suddenly widened.
"What else can we do? Of course it's to save people. Let's go. Only when we get back to the ship can we complete the mission perfectly."
"Speed up, we have to get back to the ship before dawn."
Han Sanjin reacted immediately and after talking for a long time, Shangguan Ban had already arranged everything before setting off.
At this moment, he finally understood why they came with 500 people, but Shangguan Ban insisted on only bringing a hundred people to protect him...
After talking for a long time, it turned out that I was still holding back such a big thing.
Although these soldiers from Wei's North Korea were somewhat useless, he still understood the truth that ants would bite an elephant to death.
After receiving Wei Meng's order, he changed his clothes and washed briefly, then Wei Youqu hurriedly led hundreds of soldiers and rushed all the way to Liekou City.
Liekou City's name does sound a bit awkward, but for Wei's North Korea, this is an important port.
Although the permanent population is only more than 30,000, its geographical location is very important. It is where the Datong River enters the sea.
For Wei's North Korea, if this place is lost, then the coast of the Datong River will really seem to be undefended.
Although there are less than 3,000 troops stationed in the city, and there are many old, weak, sick and disabled among them.
However, in the port outside the city, there is a naval force of up to 20,000 people stationed all year round.
They were the ones who captured the Han merchant ships, and even the captured Han people are still being held in Liekou City.
Wei Youqu's top priority now is to take all the Han people to Wangxian City as soon as possible.
As long as these people are still alive, as long as they can win this battle, there is no need to worry about the Han army not sitting down and continuing negotiations with them.
Waiting until daybreak, Liekou City was finally in sight, and there was even a bit of sea breeze in the air.
"Your Highness, look!"
