When leaving Dangxiang City, on the way back, Li Chongjiu passed an island, which is located at the tip of the Shanghai Cape on the Peninsula and is the narrowest part of the entire Yellow Sea.

This island is called Hudao, which is also the key to the Peninsula and Dengzhou Sea Road. It is a must-pass place from Dangxiang City to Dengzhou Sea Road. From Hudao to the south, it can also lead to the Danluo Kingdom located on Jeju Island and Baekje. If a port is established here, a supply point for Zhao State can be obtained for sea ships.

Li Chongjiu personally landed on Hu Island and visited the island. There were only more than a hundred Goguryeo islanders on the island, all of whom made a living by fishing. The land on the island was fertile, and if it was leveled, it would be easy to open up the fields and was very suitable for military use.

Li Chongjiu immediately decided to set up another naval town on Hu Island, which can not only monitor Goguryeo nearby, but also support Dangxiang City to ensure the maritime trade route with Silla.

This is Li Chongjiu's implementation of a maritime policy. If he had truly agreed to station troops in Dangxiang City on a large scale, it would have been likely to intensify the conflict between the three countries and put Zhao into the quagmire of war. It would be better to set up a move around the surrounding area first and then the right opportunity to enter. This is Zhao's current strategy for the three countries of North Korea.

Zhao's fleet walked along the coast, left the East China Sea, and entered the Bohai Bay from Dengzhou, the sea water gradually turned yellow, and this place was already the familiar Bohai Bay.

In order to hide his whereabouts, Li Chongjiu did not order the fleet to land and replenish supplies in Dengzhou, but instead traveled along the coast to reach Ye County, Donglai County, and finally landed in the port.

In the county magistrate's office of Ye County, Donglai County, the county magistrate Zhao Xin was worried about recruiting village soldiers. Xu Shiji and Song Jingang had been fighting in Beihai County for a month. Although both of them were famous generals of the Zhao army, Beihai County had a fierce resistance and the war was very stalemate. The county magistrates of Donglai County were all transferred to the front line to fight, resulting in the current defense of Donglai County being very empty.

Zhao Xin planned to recruit rural soldiers to defend the city after the busy autumn, but the money and food were insufficient. Now that Zhao Xin's order to recruit soldiers had not been issued, there were only more than 200 constables in the city. If Chunyunan's troops came, Donglai County would be lost. At this time, a soldier hurriedly entered the interior and reported, "The county magistrate, a large number of ships appeared outside the port. The wharf was blocked."

Zhao Xin was shocked when she heard this. She thought to herself that it was a pirate attack, and the current garrison of Edonglai County could not resist at all.

Zhao Xin's first reaction was to take off his official robe immediately and escape from the county town immediately so as not to suffer after breaking the city. Zhao Xin kicked her legs and just got up, a gust of wind blew, which made him feel cold. Zhao Xin suddenly thought that as a local county magistrate, if he fled at the battle, according to the laws of the Great Zhao, he would either be executed or exiled to Liaodong.

Even if he survived, his hope in his career would be cut off. For Zhao Xin, who has worked hard to this day, how could he easily give up his current glory and wealth? Moreover, once he left his post without permission, this matter would also involve his father, Zhao Heran, the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works, and even the Zhao family in Zhuo County would decline as a result.

Zhao Xin was unable to make up his mind, and hesitated very much. At this moment, another soldier rushed to Zhao Xin and said, "Empress, I have figured it out. It turns out that the warship outside is my Navy of Great Zhao, and the victorious army that His Majesty returned from Goguryeo."

After hearing this sentence, Zhao Xin's heart turned from sadness to joy, and almost burst into tears.

"It's so dangerous." Zhao Xin was secretly grateful in her heart, took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, and said, fortunately, the news came in time, and she didn't lose her composure in front of her subordinates, otherwise it would be a joke if the matter was spread.

Zhao Xin pulled out the official robe, straightened the official hat, and restored his usual graceful demeanor, as if he was calm and composed in everything, and said with majesty: "Since that's the case, why don't you go to the dock to welcome the car."

"No. Envoy."

At this moment, thousands of sails gathered on the Ye County Wharf, and the victorious army of the Zhao army returning from Goguryeo landed here.

When I came to Hu'er to conquer Liao for the first time, I went to sea from Ye County, but this navy army dreamed of shattering Pyongyang. Today, what Ye County welcomed was the navy army that won the victory of the Zhao army in conquer Liao.

When Zhao Xin arrived, the dock was already very busy, and soldiers wearing armor were constantly landing on the deck. Looking at the eye-catching Zhao flag, Zhao Xin couldn't help but feel relieved. With this lion in Donglai County, Donglai County was safe, and Qi Gongshun, Liu Lan, Chunyu Nan and others who were fighting fiercely in Beihai with Xu Shiji and Song King Kong, never expected it.

The Zhao army and horse association landed in Donglai County, forming a force of attacking east and west with Xu Shiji and Song King Kong's army in front.

Seeing Li Chongjiu's flagship, Zhao Xin strode forward, knelt down on the dock and shouted loudly: "Zhao Xin, the governor of Donglai County, pay homage to Your Majesty, congratulate my emperor on defeating Goguryeo and imposing the barbarians. Long live Your Majesty!" The more than a hundred officials from Donglai County who came with Zhao Xin also bowed and shouted long live together.

Li Chongjiu slowly walked towards the shore and smiled and said to everyone, "Let's flat."

The officials then stood up, and Li Chongjiu looked at Zhao Xin and said, "Zhao Xin, Donglai County has been well rectified, and the docks are in order. It seems that you have made contributions to the governance."

Zhao Xin said immediately: "Your Majesty praises me, but I really don't dare to take it. This is the result of the joint efforts of my colleagues. I don't dare to be good at it."

With this sentence, the officials behind Zhao Xin were filled with joy. Li Chongjiu nodded slowly and said, "How is the war in Beihai County going?"

Zhao Xin said, "Report to Your Majesty, as soon as General Xu's army arrived, Zhang Qingte, Rencheng and Xu Shishun surrendered one after another. Then General Xu's army arrived in the Beihai to attack Qingzhou. The battle situation was very stalemate. General Xu and General Song Lang's men fought fiercely with the Tang army in Shandong last month. There were many battles between the two sides, but they did not decide the outcome. Now both armies are very tired."

Li Chongjiu said: "I thought Shandong would not be so easy to subdue, but I didn't expect that the Tang army would be so tenacious that it could even be equal to our main army."

Zhao Xin replied, "This is not the fault of General Xu and General Song Lang. Li Tang appointed Zang Junxiang as the Minister of War of the Grand Historian of Shandong Daxingtai and the governor of Shandong soldiers. After receiving the reward, Zang Junxiang was very happy and led 30,000 troops to send troops from Donghai County to reinforce Beihai County. In addition, Qi Gongshun has always been in Qingzhou and the people support him. His adviser Liu Lan is good at planning. In addition, Li Yiman and Chunyu Nan are both brave and good at fighting. Everyone is holding a group to fight. Even if General Xu and General Song Lang can do their best, they will not be able to conquer Beihai for a while."

The generals around Li Chongjiu didn't say anything after hearing this. Xu Shiji and Song Jingang, as the most capable general of Da Zhao, fought in Beihai County for a month, except for conquering two smaller forces, and there was no progress. At this time, Li Chongjiu led the main force of the Wu Guard Army to land in Donglai County. Can the situation be reversed?

Li Chongjiu immediately said to Xue Wanche: "After landing, you immediately lead 5,000 troops to attack Chunyunan's nest."

Cheng Mingzhen said on the side, "Your Majesty, our army has just finished the battle and has come across the sea again. The soldiers are very tired. Should we rest on the dock and rest for two or three days?"

Li Chongjiu said: "It's been a rest after ten days of staying in Dangxiang City. Now our army unexpectedly lands in Donglai and penetrates directly behind the Tang army in Shandong. If the opportunity is delayed, the Tang army will be prepared and will lose the opportunity."

Xue Wanche said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to fight Chunyu anymore. Just let the elite troops of the last generals go straight to the city of Qingzhou City. The Shandong Tang army will definitely be defeated in one battle."

Li Chongjiu heard Xue Wanche's words and said with a smile: "You are the incompetent people in Shandong. There are strong soldiers under Qingzhou City, and 50,000 troops are stationed at the city. If the Tang army is not afraid and opens the city to fight, wouldn't your 5,000 troops fall into the trap? My capital does not attack Qingzhou, but attacks Chunyu, the purpose is to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger and force the submission of Qingzhou. Zhang Xuansu, tell them."

Among the people, only Zhang Xuansu understood Li Chongjiu's meaning. Zhang Xuansu said immediately: "Your Majesty's meaning is that the Shandong Tang army has persisted for so long, mainly because of the 30,000 troops from Zang Junxiang from the East China Sea. Now that our army landed in Donglai, it not only caused the Tang army to be attacked by enemies from both sides, but also could lead troops south at any time to attack Zang Junxiang's old nest in Donghai County. Zang Junxiang fought for half a lifetime to have the foundation today. If he wanted him to give up for others, how could he be willing to draw his troops back to protect the East China Sea. As long as Zang Junxiang left, the Tang army in Qingzhou could not withstand the two attacks of our army, and would soon be defeated."

Xue Wanche showed a sudden look and immediately clasped his fists and said, "So that's it. Your Majesty is far-sighted. The last general is far beyond his reach. The last general will conquer the Chunyu Nan's lair for Your Majesty."

Li Chongjiu said: "Go."

Xue Wanche strides away, and Zhao Xin goes forward and says, "Your Majesty is exhausted. I beg you to go to the county magistrate's office to rest first, and wait for the minister to find a clean residence, and then ask Your Majesty to move to live."

Li Chongjiu said to Cheng Mingzhen: "The army is out and everything is simple. General Cheng, you are here to urge all troops to disembark. The captives of Goguryeo must be taken care of, especially Gao Jianwu's safety. In addition, the matter of the initial settlement of the Liao and Sui army will be discussed again."

To resettle the Liao and Sui army, Cheng Mingzhen was worried and spared his head, and asked Zhang Xuansu on the side for help with his eyes. Zhang Xuansu said directly: "How should your Majesty deploy these Liao and Sui army? Just tell him directly."

Li Chongjiu said: "Well, they must have thought it clearly in the past ten days. These people were soldiers of the Great Sui Palace back then, all of them were elite soldiers, and they were veterans, and they had many battles. If you choose them, those who are healthy and those who volunteer to serve and join our army, you can let them return to their hometowns. If they have no relatives and those who are unwilling to go back, let them settle in Donglai County. If their families are in Guanzhong..."

Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu paused.

Li Chongjiu glanced at the bank and said, "Forget it, if they are willing to go back to Guanzhong, please go back with them and give them some money. I have been in a foreign land for ten years, and I believe they have been homesick and people have the same heart."
