Since Japanese pirates can come once, they are likely to come a second time.
It's just that last time Dohi Yuto brought ten warships but failed to capture Dinghai Pier. If he comes again next time, the number of warships will probably be much higher.
hey-hey.
Li Hebai scratched his head unconsciously.
"If the Japanese pirates really attack Huayang County again, it would be a bit dangerous to stand in front of them. But as long as we hold on for a while and the surrounding friendly forces arrive in time, it will be fine."
"After all, someone has to stand in the way, right?"
"That's right." Lu Yulong patted Li Hebai on the shoulder with emotion, "But in addition to requiring the fleet to guard the Dinghai Pier, there is another extremely important thing that the fleet must also do."
After saying that, he reached out and landed directly on the Baekje Peninsula across the sea from Huayang County.
————
Baekje Peninsula, southern suburbs of the royal city,
Starfall Legion garrison.
It was snowing heavily, and there were heavy goose feathers everywhere in the sky and on the ground.
At this time, the Xingluo Station was completely silent, and it was difficult to travel, let alone training.
However, there was a person standing like a statue in the lonely and pale training square.
Wu Siyuan seemed unaware of the wind and snow around him, and just stood there silently, looking toward the east without focus.
"General, it's so cold, why did you run out alone? Wear an extra cloak."
With a grimace on his face, the guard tried his best to step through the knee-deep snow and put a thick cloak on the general.
However, Wu Siyuan remained motionless, as if he didn't hear anything.
The guards couldn't help but feel sad when they saw it.
well.
They had defended well in the Yuanning Mountains before, and even steadily moved toward Kudo Naoto on the east coast step by step, until they controlled the entire post road in and out of the mountains.
Wu Siyuan thought he had done a pretty good job, but in the end, he was transferred back to the royal city by the King of Baekje in the name of going home to visit relatives, and was replaced by the second prince of Baekje.
However, people are different.
It had only been three months since the second prince took office. All of Wu Siyuan's previous strongholds east of the Yuanning Mountains had been uprooted by Kudo Naoto. Some of the soldiers stationed there died in battle and some fled.
Even the Japanese pirate army marched westward, looming as a threat to the existence of Yilu Pass.
Thinking of this, the guard raised his head and glanced at the sky thoughtfully.
If the heavy snow hadn't fallen in time and blocked Kudo Naoto, who was approaching step by step, the Imperial City would have been in a panic.
"General, it's too cold. It's not worth staying here and freezing your body. Let's go back first."
The most important thing is that no matter how dazed Wu Siyuan is, it will not help.
Report!
At this moment, unfamiliar Baekje language came from far north.
The two people's hearts were moved and they couldn't help but turn around to inquire about the reputation.
Sure enough, through the heavy snow, two messengers covered in snowflakes were trying hard to move towards their location.
Wu Siyuan was not surprised either.
Here, Xingluo is stationed. Heavy snow has been falling continuously these days, and all training has been stopped long ago.
It can be said that except for him and a few personal guards, the rest are all Yunchui people.
….
Therefore, people here still use Baekje to convey orders, and nine times out of ten they are here to see him.
The two looked at each other and tried their best to move towards the two snowmen.
The two sides were not too far apart, but the snow on the ground was too deep, so it still took some time.
"General Wu," the other party handed over a letter tremblingly, "the king summons you to come to the palace immediately to discuss matters."
Wu Siyuan was unconvinced.
What can be discussed at this time?
Seeing the Japanese pirates approaching step by step, the second prince panicked and asked for help from the Xingluo soldiers in Dachun Valley but received no response.
, then I had to go back to the royal city to bring in reinforcements.
He reached out and patted the other person's shoulder.
"It's such a snowy day, thank you two brothers for your hard work."
"You go back and report to the king, saying that the weather is freezing and the ground is freezing. I have temporarily ignored Fenghan. Now I can't get out of bed, and I probably won't be able to enter the palace for the next two days."
The messenger was stunned.
The other man couldn't help but took two steps closer and moved his hands in his sleeves.
It seemed that he really wanted to probe Wu Siyuan's forehead to see if he really had the cold.
"presumptuous!"
Whoosh!
The guard next to him suddenly drew out his sharp sword. It looked like if the man dared to take another step forward, he would kill him with the sword.
He glanced in the direction of the royal city and sighed.
"Let's go, it's the twelfth lunar month soon, and the New Year is coming soon. I also want to go home to see the princess."
Speaking of the princess, his face looked a little strange.
Wu Siyuan studied in Xingji City.
Over the six hundred years since the founding of Yunchui, the royal family has given birth to a large number of princesses, but only a handful of them have the title of princess.
These princesses are either the eldest daughters of various emperors, or they have earned their status through great contributions like Princess Yiguang. All of them are heroes among women.
Unlike here in Baekje, any daughter of the King of Baekje is a princess...
Then, if any of the young ministers showed promise, they would be recruited as their consorts.
Profit?
Wu Siyuan secretly shook his head.
No matter how promising an individual is, he must be useful.
Putting back his messy thoughts, he looked at the guards beside him.
"Go and tell General Wei that I would like to thank Xingluo for taking care of him recently. He will return to the royal city temporarily and come back next year to borrow the space to continue training the soldiers."
"yes!"
————
Starfall Legion, the main tent of the Chinese Army.
The barracks were steaming and warm as spring.
Except for Ren Ning, Wei Junqian and Guan Luping who are in Xingluo's hometown, the other generals and military advisors of the Xingluo Army are here.
In Wei Junqian's absence, General Mo Dingshan, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army, took over and was responsible for all affairs of the army.
well.
He shook his head, "I'm used to drinking tea made by the general, but now everyone makes this tea? It's really hard to swallow."
"That's right." Others laughed, "Where's the brother who makes tea? Your general is complaining about you, come out and apologize..."
After laughing for a while, everyone got down to business.
Mo Dingshan glanced outside.
"With this weather, Li Chengde, the king of Baekje, is anxious to summon Wu Siyuan back to the royal city to discuss matters. It seems that the situation in the Yuanning Mountains is not very good."
Others nodded.
"The east coast is too small. Naoto Kudou will not give up his plan to cross Yuning Mountain and enter the hinterland of Baekje."
As long as there is a chance, he will find every opportunity to kill.
Mo Dingshan nodded and looked to the west.
"The Yuanning Mountains to the east are crumbling, and the Beikuan to the west is occupied by Masato Nei. Brothers, our situation is also not good."
The others suddenly fell silent.
As the saying goes, if you don't have food in your hands, you will panic in your heart. They are not afraid of Japanese pirates, but they are afraid that they have no food.
The land in Baekje is barren, and the people are not very good at farming. The food they grow is not enough to eat themselves, let alone supply it to the outsiders.
Therefore, since the Starfall Army was ordered to station in Baekje, Wei Junqian was prepared for danger in times of peace and had been having people continuously transport large amounts of grain, grass and baggage from the country.
It's just that the journey is long and the transportation capacity is limited. The food and clothing they have now will definitely survive the warm winter, but it will be difficult to say after the winter.
boom!
The forward leader Chu Jinding punched his palm.
"Fortunately, Mo Dou from the Logistics Department launched the 120 transport ships from the Beihai Shipyard in time."
Therefore, as long as you find enough food and manpower to sail the ships, you can try to transport food by sea.
The soldier lives.
