After sailing for more than ten days, we finally arrived at our destination, the southern coast of Yingdao.
Chu Qing, who was standing at the highest point holding a telescope, was very satisfied.
Stand high and see far.
Except for the continuous camps and supply ships on the coast, as far as the eye can see, it is a piece of scorched black and red soil. This is what Yingdao should look like, dead, dilapidated, and deserted.
Xu Tianchen is now in charge of the south road. Xiaopao classmate was overjoyed and came to the beach with Mu Hua and his entourage to greet him.
The friends got off the boat first and chatted and laughed after walking off.
Chu Qing admired the beautiful scenery for a while before getting off the boat.
The only function of Yingdao is the high mountain. I don't even think about the cherry blossoms. I don't need to take anything else with me. It has no redeeming qualities. It seems that even a blade of grass here is dirty.
Chu Qing had just asked clearly that there are no cherry blossoms in Yingdao.
It existed in later generations because it was passed down in the Tang Dynasty.
Chu Qing felt strange when he thought of this.
Let’s not mention the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, let’s just talk about the well-documented and reliable history. China’s splendid civilization lasted for more than 4,000 years. As a result, in later generations, many people have stupid minds and worship those foreign cultures that are like monsters and snake gods every day. It’s not that they are not inclusive, but
I think it's quite funny.
After getting off the boat, Chu Qing looked at Xu Tianchen with a playful smile and said in surprise: "Has the imperial court appointed you an official? Where did you get the sixth-grade armor?"
"The name doesn't make sense, so I asked my brothers to borrow one."
Chu Qing looked at Mu Hua who bowed his head and saluted, and said with a serious face: "How unbecoming it is to bring a female family member with you when you go out to fight!"
"Commander, what you said is wrong."
Xu Tianchen didn't know Chu Qing too well, and he was not afraid at all: "In your words, brothers are...just..."
Xiaopao couldn't remember the word and looked at Fusan.
Third brother: "Hire."
"That's right, the hired righteous men are all loyal and righteous men you hired from all walks of life. They don't receive military pay from the imperial court. What's wrong with bringing along female dependents? It neither violates military law nor the laws of Chang'an."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes fiercely.
This is why he hates scholars, because they are always trying to take advantage of loopholes.
Looking at Mu Hua, Chu Qing asked: "Has the royal decree been sealed?"
"If you reply to your lord, I will seal it. Your Majesty will personally seal it and give it a fifth-grade imperial edict."
"That's good."
Mu Hua was almost the same as the girl from the Han family at this time, and she bowed again: "It's a pleasure to meet you, sir."
Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry: "Why haven't we seen each other for a long time? I'm not scumbag at all."
Mu Hua smiled. She didn't know what "scum" meant, but she knew that Chu Qing was still the same Chu Qing. He had not changed and would never change.
"Handsome, handsome."
Xu Tianchen rubbed his hands and came closer: "After you leave Ying, you must go to Goguryeo, right?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Take the general with you."
Chu Qing nodded, said "Oh" calmly, and then went to see the camp.
Xu Tianchen was stunned and looked at Mu Hua with disbelief on his face: "Commander, do you agree?"
Mu Hua smiled slightly: "Yes."
"So simple?"
"Then what else do you think?"
"this…"
Chu Qing turned around and laughed and cursed: "Why don't you go to Goguryeo? There are no animals to kill in Yingdao. If you are idle, you will be idle."
Xu Tianchen nodded repeatedly and smiled happily.
Chu Qing doesn't like to interfere with other people's life paths, and he doesn't like to say that I am good for you, so I want to arrange a path for you.
They are all people who have experienced life and death. It is everyone’s choice to live the kind of life they want. To the extent of their ability, support is enough.
Don't ask too many questions, let alone say I'm good for you. To say such things is either ignorance or arrogance. No one has the right to arrange the path of others, not even fathers. There is no relationship between people.
The premise of emotion is respect.
Entering the camp, it was as Chu Qing imagined. Most of them were new soldiers. While Yingdao was a training ground, the old soldiers were very leisurely and began to bask in the sun.
Just these old soldiers, when they were in Luo Yundao, they were beaten like pig heads by the old cousins in Hucheng. They were considered humble. But now, they are even more powerful than the old people.
When they heard that Chu Qing was coming, the seven thousand troops who were left to guard the supplies all formed an array.
Chu Qing waved his hand and said nothing, letting everyone disperse to do whatever they should be busy with.
Among the four armies, there is no need to go deep on the south side, they have almost been defeated.
The situation on the other three sides is similar. Cao Podi, the group led by Cao Hu's relatives, occupied Kyoto, Yingdao, and the group led by Song Zhong set fire to the mountains and forests in the form of suppressing bandits. Many Ying people
The thieves have all gone deep into the mountains and forests.
On the other hand, troops have already begun to withdraw, and some supplies looted from Yingdao will be sent to Huang Laosi's side to form two supply lines.
"Commander, commander, when shall we set off?"
"Commander, Commander, does your Majesty want to send troops to the Second King's City?"
"Handsome, handsome..."
Xu Tianchen was like a talker, chasing after Chu Qing and asking questions.
"Can you calm down for a while?" Chu Qing said tirelessly: "I can't stop talking when I give birth to a child and eat melon seeds. I told you that I don't know anything now. I can only make a decision after seeing His Majesty."
Xu Tianchen said cheerfully: "Then can you lead the army alone? Let's attack Baekje."
Chu Qing stopped and looked strange: "How did you know you knew how to fight against Baekje?"
"Envoys from Silla have been here several times, asking for help. They said they were being bullied by Baekje and wanted our warships to help them guard several ports."
"The envoy from Silla is also here?"
Xu Tianchen nodded and explained the situation.
In the past two months, Silla envoys' shipwrecks came three times, once on the west side and twice on the south side. Then they were all destroyed by Chang's army and their bodies were all thrown into the sea.
Huang Laosi's order was that as long as the Silla envoys came over, they must "destroy both": no living people, no dead bodies, and no traces of the corpses.
When Xu Tianchen said this, it was a real statement. As expected, it was all done by the fourth child.
He also added some information that Chu Qing and others did not know. Silla was basically on the verge of civil strife. Many border towns were controlled by aristocratic families. There was no talk of rebellion or defection to Goguryeo or Baekje.
I just said that the new queen is impure, but I didn't say anything to death. If you want us to continue to hang out with you, then you have to prove that you are pure. As for how to prove it, I didn't say.
Chu Qing and his friends analyzed it and found that among those who questioned the Queen's purity, there must be a few who were bribed by the Supreme Emperor.
"Have a rest overnight and set off for Mount Fuji tomorrow morning. Then we will gather two thousand people to escort us."
Xu Tianchen said "Wei" and went to choose people.
Chu Qing was sitting in Xu Tianchen's tent, happily.
Cao Hu started to open the market again.
Three months, six months, one year.
Bet on how long it will take for the three peninsula countries to be completely annexed by Dachang. The shorter the time, the higher the odds.
Wang Tianyu was very curious: "Brother Hu, with your brain, why do you always win money?"
"My boss told me the trick."
"What's the trick?"
"If you become a banker, you will definitely make a profit without losing any money." Cao Hu said proudly: "My boss said that if you have a backer, you don't have to pay a penny. If you become a banker, you will definitely make a profit without losing any money."
Wang Tianyu suddenly realized it, and then turned around and shouted: "It's time to bet, it's time to bet, I will be the banker, and I will bet on when Cao Hu will lose everything!"
