Hunjiang River.

Close to the shore of the Yalu River, there is a village called Liujiacun. The villagers live a daily life of fishing and farming. They carry hoes during busy farming periods and fish during slack periods.

Now is the slack time for farming.

However, 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.

Inside the main hall, the lights are bright. There is a team of soldiers performing guard duty outside the door.

Zhang Zhen, Lu Yanxun and other soldiers entered the main room with wine and food. A round table was placed in the center. Wu Nian, wearing a purple robe and a silk scarf on his head, sat 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 it to Wu Nianman, picked up the wine cup and said, "Uncle."

Wu Nian nodded, reached out and took the wine cup 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 a sparkle bloomed in his eyes.

"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. Go 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 like a whirlwind, he called Zhang Zhen and others to come in and clear away the dishes.

Then he picked up a volume of military literature, sat down on the Grand Master's chair, and turned on the lamp to read at night. After an unknown amount of time, he felt sleepy, so he put down the volume, picked up the oil lamp on the coffee table, and went into the master bedroom to sleep.

Zhang Zhen, Lu Yanxun and other soldiers did not dare to neglect. They held spears and bows, stood guard or patrolled, and surrounded the courtyard.

Early the next morning, Wu Nian, served by his own soldiers, got up calmly, washed up, had breakfast, and then went to the main room to recharge his batteries.

When the time came, he put on his armor and steel sword, and boarded six fishing boats with his soldiers. The fishing boats were first pushed out of the river bank with long poles by soldiers dressed as fishermen, and then moved along the river.

Marching, we slowly entered the Yalu River and headed for 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 fort. The guard is Li Tiansheng.

Such ferries are located 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 fortresses were very tight. The soldiers were like tight bowstrings, and a terrifying atmosphere filled 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 Kingdom's credentials, Goguryeo began to relax from top to bottom. Now in the 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. After a slow breakfast, he took an infantry spear and started playing with it in the open space outside the tent.

Although his surname was Li, he was not from the same clan as the current empress dowager. The reason why he became a general and commanded two thousand soldiers was based on his military exploits.

There are so many wealthy families in Goguryeo. His background and current status are already at their peak.

Going higher is not impossible, but it requires incredible luck.

For example, in the battle with the Liaodong Tigers, he achieved great success.

But it’s unlikely even if you think about it.

Although everyone in Goguryeo did not believe that Wu Nian dared to ignore the threat of the Fusang people and cross the Yalu River, 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 career ends here. Just live each day well and wait for retirement.

After practicing spear and sword skills, and working out his body, he broke out in a sweat. Li Tiansheng raised his head and looked at the position of the sun. Although it was still far from noon, 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 of characters in the military book are all Chinese characters. But in Li Tiansheng's eyes, they are ordinary. For a person like him, Chinese characters are too simple.

And in fact.

Many books have to use Chinese characters, such as military books. If the books are translated using Goguryeo's own characters, there will be ambiguities in some places.

All in all, Goguryeo's writing was not mature. The people who used it were common people.

Lazy.

As the guard of this water village, Li Tiansheng has a lazy air all over his body. As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

With Li Tiansheng like this, the soldiers below naturally followed his example.

But even so, the soldiers were doing what they were supposed to do. Half of the water fortress was built 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 arrangement of the officers, the soldiers performed normal lookout tasks. 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 is full of men, and the soldiers have not been home for a long time. It is normal to tell each other dirty jokes and discuss which family's wife and which family's girl.

They were chatting animatedly.

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 occupies the power to control the water, it does not dare to anger Wu Nian. The superiors have conveyed orders not to seize Han ships.

Soldiers often saw large Han boats and fishing boats sailing on the river. However, Han boats usually 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 was also a bit large, which seemed unusual.

"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 rushed towards the water village.

Five large ships left.

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 understood Chinese immediately shouted: "If you don't want to die, 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 them off with a thick rope. The Goguryeo soldiers grabbed the rope and shortened the distance between the two ships.

Then the Goguryeo soldiers began to board the ship, entering the cabin to inspect like tigers and wolves.
