Chapter 730: Can't find the location for logging in

Wang Ping'an said oh, nodded and said, "I was shocked. I thought his name was Xue Rengui. It was good to call him Xue Renyi. This name was obviously Rende Guoyi, a good name!"

The Qingzhou General Manager smiled and said, "That's right, this name is a good name that I thought about for almost a year before I came up with. I specially found a fortune teller and calculated all aspects and took out this good name!"

Su Dingfang also smiled and said, "General Xue Rengui is of high status and power. Even if he is a common name with him, he will still admire him. General Xue will not blame him."

The Qingzhou General Manager sighed: "When I was born in my second family, General Xue was not famous yet. I named this child. If I counted it now, I would be a bit like General Xue and Brother Xiang!"

Wang Ping'an said in surprise: "You all know General Xue? I only heard of his name and never saw him!"

Su Dingfang was also surprised and said, "Prince, how could you never see him? He is the general of the Northern Yamen, guarding Xuanwu Gate!"

Qingzhou General Manager: "It's been unintroduced by anyone. I heard that General Xue doesn't like making friends and rarely interacts with civil servants."

Only then did Wang Ping'an realize that the general who guarded the Xuanwu Gate in this era was actually Xue Rengui! He smiled and said, "In the future, I will have to date General Xue for a good time!"

The young general Xue Renyi said, "I heard that General Xue is good at shooting, so the young general also practices archery skills hard, which is a small achievement. I just hope to see General Xue in the future and get his guidance!"

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "As long as you kill the enemy in Baekje and make military achievements, then when you enter Beijing Yaowu, you will meet General Xue. Let's go see him together!"

Taking Xue Renyi with him, Wang Ping'an bid farewell to the Qingzhou General Manager and ordered the army to board the ship and set sail for the crossing of the sea.

The fleet left Laizhou and sailed into the sea. This was a good time for spring. On the way, I saw the blue sea and blue sky, and the sky was clear; at night, the water and sky were the same, the night sky was shining, and the scenery was spectacular!

In a day, the Tang Dynasty Expeditionary Force arrived near the coast of Baekje. The soldiers and civilians of Baekje were not aware of the arrival of the Tang army, and the fishermen went out to sea to fish as usual. Some of the excellent fishermen even left the shore for more than a hundred miles to fish, hoping to catch more and larger fish.

The Tang army's fleet, large warships were connected in front of each other, while the smaller clutch ships dispersed and captured the fishermen in Baekje. As long as they caught the fishermen, they would be detained. If they encountered someone who dared to escape, they would throw arrows and throw stones to sink the other party's ship. This method was used to ensure that the army's whereabouts were not exposed.

On that day, Wang Ping'an went up to the deck, looked at the sky in the distance, and said, "It should be almost time to reach Baekje. How far is it from the land? Why don't there be seabirds?" He didn't know much about navigation, but he knew that as long as he saw seabirds, such as seagulls, it means he was close to the land.

Su Dingfang held the map in his hand and said while looking: "This map is too simple. He drew a circle on the shore and wrote Si Wei. When he was in Chang'an, he still couldn't feel anything, but now he was almost at the ground, and he actually found that where is this circle? There is a circle on the picture, but it will take dozens of miles on the shore. If you log in to the wrong place, wouldn't all your efforts be wasted?"

Wang Ping'an called Xue Renyi and asked, "When you were in Qingzhou, have you seen the map of Baekje? Do you know which Siqi City is located??"

Xue Renyi shook his head and said, "I don't know where this Siqi City is. I haven't been to Baekje before! If the prince asked about the place near Qingzhou, I will know everything."

Wang Ping'an yelled and said, "I'm really asking Yu Blind. I've never been to Baekje before. In fact, I haven't even been to Qingzhou before, and I haven't been to Laizhou before, but I've found the place as soon as I searched!"

Su Dingfang looked at the map and shook his head, saying, "If you say, General Xiao Xue, you shouldn't know where you have never been?"

Xue Renyi thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, I haven't been to the place before, how can I know where it is?"

In fact, it is no wonder that Xue Renyi. He didn't know where Siqi was, it was completely understandable. For ordinary people in this era, a place a hundred miles away from home would be another world. For those who were in the army like Xue Renyi, as long as they were under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou General Administration, he knew that this would be quite good. As for Baekje... if it weren't for following Wang Ping'an to go to war this time, he might not have paid attention to Baekje in his life, and it would be Qianji!

Wang Ping'an took the map, looked at it, and thought to himself: "It was too rough for ancient people to draw maps. How can I see this? I can't calculate the correct login location from the map!"

He said to Su Dingfang: "When you were in the Ministry of War, did you see a more detailed map?"

Su Dingfang said: "No, this is the most detailed one. It was painted by the Baekje people themselves and presented to Chang'an as tributes. However, I would think that the maps drawn by the Baekje people themselves would be successful. If they were to be shown to the people of the Tang Dynasty, they might have deliberately drawn the wrong ones and painted them in a deviation, so as not to take the maps they were drawn and hit them, just like now!"

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "This is right, what you said makes sense!"

The people of Baekje draw maps, and the Tang Dynasty would not send people to verify them. They would draw whatever they wanted. But he really didn't know where Siqian City was. In modern times, he had never studied this aspect. At most, he had seen it in film and television dramas, but he would not perform these in film and television dramas in detail!

Seeing that Wang Ping'an and Su Dingfang were worried, Xue Renyi said carefully: "Or we will send a boat to check it out first? Find the place where we land. Isn't that enough?"

Wang Ping'an and Su Dingfang shook their heads together, and Su Dingfang said: "We are too hasty to send troops this time. This kind of expedition will take one or two years in advance, and at least several months will be prepared. There is no such thing as now. Just say that you go out and take your soldiers on a boat. As a result, it's better now, and you can't even find the landing location!"

Wang Ping'an slapped the ship's side and said, "What's the use of complaining about this? What's the benefit of complaining about it?" He looked at Xue Renyi and said, "If the boat was sent over, it would be easy to be discovered by the Baekje people. In this way, our raid is unlikely to be successful. If a hundred thousand troops are approaching, then their preparation is useless, but now we only have 10,000 people. If the raid fails, we can only return to Laizhou. Maybe we have to be caught up by the Baekje soldiers and beat them up. Wouldn't that be bad!"

Xue Renyi thought for a while and said, "This...is right, you said so well, Prince!"

Su Dingfang said angrily: "You are really inexplicable. Everything makes sense! But the question now is, where are we? We can't figure out wherever we are now, how to land or how to raid? The prince, according to the last general, simply torture the captured Baekje fishermen and let them lead the way. This is the best way!"

Xue Renyi was young and energetic, and was robbed by Su Dingfang. He was unhappy. Although he was a famous general, his father was the chief supervisor of Qingzhou. He was used to being a young man. When Su Dingfang said that he was inexplicably, he retorted: "General Su, the prince's words make sense, but your words make no sense. From the mouths of those fishermen in Baekje, we can't ask anything. We will attack their country, and after we get ashore, we will slaughter the local area. For the sake of our family, they will not tell the truth no matter what. Instead, they will deliberately deceive and guide the way!"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "I am now the leader of the invading army. It seems that this invading army is not just that it can simply invade anyone who wants to invade!"

He said, "Don't argue anymore. Now there is no other way. We lack a guide and cannot find the right direction at all. We can only ask the fishermen in Baekje. Didn't we catch more than a dozen a few days ago and bring them all up and ask!"

Seeing that Wang Ping'an was speaking, Xue Renyi didn't dare to say anything else, so he quickly passed the order to ask the Qingzhou soldiers to bring all the fishermen from Baekje!

After taking it to the warship where Wang Ping'an was riding, the Qingzhou soldiers pressed the Baekje fishermen down and called a general translator to translate Wang Ping'an's words.

Wang Ping'an said: "As long as anyone among them is willing to guide us, they can spare him and survive. After our army lands, they can spare his family and allow them to become the people of our Tang Dynasty, and from then on, they can enjoy the treatment of the people of the Celestial Kingdom!"

The general translation was listening and speaking, and translated the words, but the captured Baekje fishermen did not say anything, and the eyes of Wang Ping'an and others were full of hatred!

Wang Ping'an frowned and said, "The descendants are always exempt from taxes and can take the scientific examination. As long as anyone is willing to give him a guide, I will immediately give him an official position. After conquering Baekje, he will let this person become the county magistrate of a county."

The general translation passed the message again, but these Baekje fishermen still kept saying a word.

Wang Ping'an looked at Tongzhi and said, "Did you translate the wrong translation, or your accent is wrong? Why did they not react to anything?"

The general translation was very embarrassed and said, "When you come back to the prince, the lower officials said Goguryeo to them. As for Baekje dialect, the lower officials are not very good at speaking!"

Xue Renyi quickly exonerated the translation and said, "Isn't this too hasty? Before the prince arrived, we didn't know what to go to the battle in Qingzhou, so we ignored the translation as soon as we were busy. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, we are not going to do business in Baekje, so it would be okay if we would say what they said."

Wang Ping'an felt a headache. This raid was indeed too hasty. The prime ministers in the court only wanted to use the Tang army's force to raid Baekje, but forgot that no matter how important the force is, it must be used to go ashore. But now there is no way to find where to go ashore, and we cannot send people to reconnaissance!

Seeing Wang Ping'an's face showing an angry expression, Xue Renyi hurriedly said, "This is easy to deal with, it doesn't matter if the language is not clear, but everyone knows the knife handle!"

After saying that, Xue Renyi pulled out his waist knife, grabbed a Baekje man, pointed to the north, and asked, "Would you like it?"

The general translator hurriedly translated it in Goguryeo dialect. The Baekje man was amazing. He actually shook his head, which showed that he could understand Goguryeo dialect!
