Chapter 743 Drive away tigers and wolves
Cao Yingxiong and Chen Die sat on the shore, staring blankly at their fleet.
They encountered a strong wind a while ago, and Cao Yingxiong decisively ordered the fleet to dock, and the Koreans captured all the shit, and if they didn't exist, life-saving was the most important thing. In this way, the roots of the old Cao family were preserved. But after arriving here, the fleet was in disarray and could no longer sail. Someone suggested to go ashore, and Cao Yingxiong thought that even Koreans should give Datang face, right? Let's not talk about it, go ashore.
But as soon as they went ashore, they found that this place was captured by Datang.
I made a big mistake.
"Brother is really omnipotent!"
Cao Yingxiong was elated when he mentioned Jia Ping'an, and he was honored.
"Even the Duke of England said that with his elder brother, he can close his eyes with peace of mind."
If Li Ji heard this, he could be chopped up with a single knife. But Li Ji won't come here, so Cao Yingxiong is allowed to brag.
The craftsmen were repairing the boat, climbing up and down, someone fell down with a bang, and fell into the sea for a long time without bubbling, but they touched some shellfish at the bottom of the boat, saying that they would cook them later.
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, but they ate too much along the way, Cao Yingxiong only wanted to get a sheep to roast. But the garrison here can't find sheep, and they can't buy them with money.
The sound of horseshoes came, and someone behind him shouted: "It's Marquis Wuyang!"
"Brother!"
Cao Yingxiong turned around and burst into tears. I don’t know who trained this acting skill.
"I almost thought that I would never see my brother. At that time, the wind and waves were strong and the mast was blown down. At that moment, I thought of..."
Follow-up words were automatically filtered by Jia Pingan. He glanced at the fleet, and it was indeed miserable. The mast was either crooked or gone. In some places, black bloodstains can be seen, and at first glance, it is immersed in the deck. Unless the wooden boards are replaced, this trace cannot be eliminated. Just by looking at it, Jia Pingan knew that Cao Yingxiong had narrowly escaped death.
"You went to Wa country, what is the biggest feeling?"
Since people are fine, let’s get down to business.
"Waguo..." Cao Yingxiong blinked his eyes, obviously concluding, "The empress of Waguo doesn't look very good, she is old and ugly. And... that prince is quite domineering. Brother, I suspect that what kind of empress is that?" I'm a puppet, the eldest brother, the prince, is the one behind the scenes... Also, I'm curious, can a woman be the emperor? Is it a man riding her or she riding a man?"
"You mother went to Japan, why did you become so obscene?" Jia Ping'an also felt strange, "Maybe, I think... it should be a man riding her."
Ha ha ha ha!
The two laughed loudly, and tears came out of their laughter.
Chen Die was tired of listening to Cao Yingxiong's muttering all the way. Loneliness at sea, this guy talked about the women he slept with in Japan all the way, and even made a booklet to record all those women, who Mo Yue slept with in a certain year, and what was the specific situation, It can be called shameless to the extreme. If Cao Yingxiong hadn't been the envoy, he would have dared to kick this man into the sea.
But Jia Pingan is so out of tune, no, why is it that he seems to be smiling, but there is no smile in his eyes?
The fleet was repaired casually, and Jia Ping'an boarded the ship and ordered to sail in the direction of Korea.
"Brother...it's not right!"
Cao Yingxiong was frightened and peed, thinking that Datang is going to beat Goryeo out of Xiang, and when this time passes, isn’t this going to die? Quan Gai Su Wen is afraid that he has the intention of peeling his brother's skin and filling it with grass.
"There is nothing wrong, let's sail."
Jia Pingan stood on the deck and was blown by the sea breeze, and suddenly felt like a pirate. If there is another group of tough subordinates, it will be the Caribbean.
Chen Die also felt that something was wrong. Just as he was about to persuade him, Jia Pingan kicked him off the boat and ordered, "Let's go right away."
Cao Yingxiong shouted bitterly: "Let's sail, by the way, brother, do you want to mobilize some troops?"
Jia Pingan shook his head, and Chen Die on the shore got up and shouted: "Take me, take me."
Damn, if Jia Ping'an and the others had an accident in Korea, even if Chen Die survived, he would be reduced to a walking dead for the rest of his life, ashamed to meet people.
The fleet has already started, and Jia Pingan has experienced the sailing of this era.
This ship is the largest, with two floors above it. Cao Yingxiong said that he was worried about the strong wind at sea, otherwise, if the five-toothed ship is driven out, it will look like a hill, which can scare the barbarians to death.
The so-called five-toothed ship refers to those big ships built in the former Sui Dynasty. There are five-story buildings on the top and six sticks. But just thinking about it, Jia Pingan felt that it was fine to use such ships in inland rivers. Once they went out to sea, they would seek their own death, and they would capsize when the wind was stronger.
"Such a ship...not good."
A group of boatmen were preparing to listen to the famous general Wuyang Hou's speech, but they didn't expect it to be this one. Someone muttered, "This is a good boat built by skilled craftsmen. Without these good boats, we won't be able to come back this time."
"Yes! We are all back, and the Japanese envoy who went back with him is squatting on the bottom of the sea."
Naturally, Jia Pingan would not compete with these people. He thought about the ship from top to bottom, and it was miraculous that he did not get seasick. After reading it, he couldn't help being proud of the skilled craftsmen of Datang. Although there are problems with the shape of the ship, these skilled craftsmen have solved these problems one by one with their own whimsy.
The biggest trouble no one can solve, how can we guarantee the safety of navigation.
Jia Pingan got a piece of paper to write and draw on the deck. Cao Yingxiong glanced at it from time to time, then went to get seafood to cook, and sent it over graciously.
"Brother, eat some."
This basin is full of special mother's big seafood, and Jia Ping'an even saw a very domineering king shrimp. He put down the pen and paper, ate a hearty meal, and then ordered: "Bring some big guys later, and I'll deal with them."
Such good seafood tastes extremely sweet, and it would be too wasteful to cook it, right?
So in the afternoon, Jia Pingan came to a deck barbecue meeting. The huge prawns are roasted red, but unfortunately there is no minced garlic, but it still tastes delicious.
Jia Ping'an has been writing and drawing, even at night.
The wind blew in through the crack of the door, making the candlelight flicker, but Jia Pingan didn't notice it at all.
"Brother."
Hero Cao is here.
"What is it?"
Jia Pingan put the paper on the table, Cao Yingxiong glanced at it, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be a boat?"
Jia Pingan nodded and rubbed his dazed eyes.
He doesn't know how to build a ship, but he knows that flat-bottomed boats are unreliable when going out to sea, and they will be blown down by strong winds if they are not careful. Even a five-toothed ship is useless, the bigger it is, the faster it will turn over.
This is a sharp-bottomed boat. According to Jia Ping'an's understanding, the deeper the draft, the safer it should be.
"Brother, can this boat float? I think it's dangerous. Once it enters the water, the whole boat will sink..."
Cao Yingxiong can be regarded as promising now, and the grievance of being framed so that he failed the imperial examination in the past has gradually dissipated. Seeing that those who passed the imperial examination in the same year were just like this, his vanity was greatly satisfied.
The so-called riches and honors do not return to their hometowns, it is like walking in brocade clothes at night, Cao Yingxiong naturally wants to go back and show off. The last time I went back to my hometown, the relatives at home were so happy when they learned about his situation! The parents wept with joy, and then they sent people to inform relatives and friends to have a big feast... Cao Yingxiong was so drunk that time, he was smiling happily in his dream.
He looked at Jia Pingan, with tears in his eyes, and said: "Brother, don't do this, or you will sink to the bottom of the sea if you are not careful."
This idiot!
Jia Pingan said: "Do you know why the boat can float on the water?"
"It's the function of the wood. If the wood can float, the boat can float." Cao Yingxiong said quite proudly.
Ignorance and incompetence kill people!
"Wood has a role, but it is not the key role. The boat can float on the water, and what is more important is that..."
On the second day, Jia Pingan got a piece of iron and threw it into the sea. With a plop, the iron piece wobbled and sank. Then he got another piece of iron, asked for a hammer, beat the piece of iron into the shape of a sharp-bottomed boat, and threw it down again... This time he tied a rope to the bow of the boat.
Iron pieces of the same size, one sinks to the bottom, and the other floats, which is extra stable. When a wave hit, the ship shook a bit, but the sharp-bottomed iron ship was still stable, more stable than a big ship.
Cao Yingxiong stared at the ship dumbfounded.
"Brother, do you know magic?"
Jia Pingan clapped his hands, stood up and said, "Look, we're here."
In fact, the fleet was targeted by the Koreans as soon as they crossed the Yalu River. At this moment, the shore is full of people. Someone ignited a rocket and fired it just waiting for the convoy to land. Once ignited...Cao Yingxiong shuddered, "Brother, something is wrong! These people are clearly here to kill us."
I haven't lived enough yet!
He thought of those Japanese beauties, and the Korean beauties who hadn't slept yet, and immediately became an envoy who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Tell them that Marquis Wuyang of the Tang Dynasty is here, and he wants to find someone to discuss things. It's okay to set fire to it, and Yeye will kill all the way back, and no one will be left behind."
Someone shouted loudly at the bow, "The Marquis of Wuyang of the Great Tang Dynasty is here..."
Phew!
Before the words fell, arrows were released on the shore. Fortunately, the distance was still far away, and those rockets fell into the water and went out immediately. But still startled everyone. Cao Yingxiong was timid, "Brother, go back, turn around and kill them."
"Be safe!"
Jia Pingan walked to the bow of the boat and said calmly, "Try shooting the arrow again?"
Cao Yingxiong rolled his eyes, thinking who in Korea would not want to kill you? They can survive without you, but now they are facing the disaster of national subjugation. Don't kill me and wait for the food?
There was a general on the shore who did not believe in evil, so he drew his bow and set his arrows. After the distance was almost the same, just as he was about to shoot an arrow, Bao Dong on the boat suddenly appeared with a bigger longbow in his hand.
The general fired his arrow, and just as he let go, Bao Dong killed him with one arrow.
Stupid!
Jia Pingan didn't move, and Lei Hong was there to block the arrows.
Bao Dong turned around and cupped his hands, "Marquis Wuyang, fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
"It's Jia Ping'an!"
The Korean general on the shore trembled: "Go and tell Da Mo Lizhi... No, it's too late... No, he only brought a few ships."
He grabbed a sergeant and asked, "What did the ship say earlier?"
The sergeant said: "He said he wanted to discuss things with us." He glanced at the general and said timidly: "He said that if he wants to set fire, he will kill everyone if he turns around."
The general sneered, "So let them go ashore and see who doesn't stay behind."
The ship docked, and Jia Pingan disembarked calmly, and was immediately surrounded. He said lightly: "If you want to kill, do it, if you don't do it, get out of the way, the smell on your body is annoying."
Cao Yingxiong's legs trembled behind him, thinking that you are the God of Killing who killed countless people in Korea. Hearing them say that the Great Jingguan was unprecedented, the Koreans howled when they heard the news of Jingguan. Seeing you, they'd be damned if they didn't do anything.
The general looked at Jia Ping'an coldly, and ordered: "Search!"
Two sergeants stepped forward, and just about to touch Jia Pingan, he kicked him out one by one. He looked up at the general and said, "Tell Quan Gai Suwen, first, Datang will withdraw its troops, and from then on, the Yalu River will be used as a boundary to prevent each other from invading each other. Second, tell Quan Gai Suwen to send some troops back The beauty is here, without the beauty, Tang’s anger cannot be extinguished. By the way, Silla has been quite disrespectful to Datang recently... That’s it, let’s go.”
Jia Ping'an turned around and left, and the Koreans behind him drew their swords one after another.
With the blade in front of his chest, Jia Pingan smiled lightly: "I didn't want to come, but the people who can't stand it are not enough, so you think it's a joke. Come and come, so, prepare wine and food, and I will wait Waiting for news from Pyongyang."
Jia Ping'an turned around, and seeing everyone was stunned, he frowned and said, "Not leading the way yet?"
They were placed not far from the shore, because Jia Ping'an said he wanted to eat seafood, if the distance is too far, what is it called seafood? Who will eat the smelly one?
How poor and particular!
The general cursed, but agreed. Immediately, people galloped all the way to report to Pyongyang.
It is not far from here to Pyongyang, and Pyongyang is already in a precarious state at the moment. The soldiers and civilians in the city were panic-stricken and panicked three times a night. Quan Gai Su Wenling closed the four doors tightly and focused on preparing for the battle.
So when the messenger brought back the conditions given by Jia Pingan, Quan Gai Suwen roared: "This is a humiliation to Gao Li, send someone to kill him, and drag him to death with a horse! Go!"
One official made a gesture to go, but another official stopped him, turned around and said, "Da Mo left the branch, the Tang army stationed troops by the Yalu River but did not attack, I thought it was because of something else happened. For example..."
"Tubo!"
Quan Gai Suwen has always been grateful to Tubo, if not for the existence of this shit-stirring stick, the Tang Dynasty would have poured all over the country to attack.
The official nodded, and then returned to work. As for dragging Jia Pingan to death with war horses, come on, since Jia Pingan dared to come, he didn't take it seriously. He was really going to be dragged to death, and when the army captured Pyongyang, Li Jineng stripped Quangai Suwen and his family alive.
Quan Gai Suwen just wanted to vent his fear in his heart, plus his hatred for Jia Pingan, as a gesture. The heroes of those days, the ones who could make the King of Koryo afraid, seem to be late at the moment. If Quangai Suwen was the former, all the people would be soldiers at this moment, even if they died, they would have to shatter Tang's front teeth.
"Datang wants to withdraw troops?"
Quan Gai Suwen pondered. In his eyes, Goryeo at this moment is as fragile as a dilapidated house, extremely weak, and Datang can kick down this dilapidated house as long as he crosses the Yalu River. The only possibility for the Tang Dynasty to withdraw its troops was that Tubo started to do it. Whether it was in the Longyou area or in the Western Regions, it was a place that made the Tang Dynasty feel heartbroken. Li Zhi would not tolerate this, so he had to withdraw the army.
"Da Mo is out of support, is it safe for Datang to withdraw its troops? What if they withdraw their troops quietly and then cover up and attack them?"
A military general asked, looking quite frightened.
Even the generals are afraid, one can imagine the fear of Tang Dynasty in Goryeo at this moment. Gao Yuan, the king of Koryo, invaded the Great Sui Dynasty, and immediately the army gathered in Liaoshui. Gao Yuan pleaded guilty in panic, claiming to be the emperor of Liaodong, and Emperor Yang ordered his troops to withdraw.
Now that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are approaching Yalushui...not Liaoshui, half of Goryeo's country has been lost, not to mention these generals and civil servants, even Quan Gai Suwen himself can't restrain the fear in his heart, so he pretends to be a gesture and orders Take Jia Ping'an and drag him to death.
But this question was too stupid to ask, Quan Gai Suwen scolded: "If they want to cover up the killing, they can pass through the duck-green water now, so why play hard to get? Idiot!"
The general thought it was right, and felt that he was so stupid, he couldn't help tearing his eyes, and knelt down to plead guilty. In many cases, whether the general is brave and wise has something to do with the situation. When the country was in decline, most of the generals and civil servants were ignorant. It's not that he is not smart, but that he feels that the country is in danger of overturning, and he is panicked. He can make three or four achievements out of ten things and can be called a national scholar. In addition, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the country is in decline. How do you let these people use their skills?
"Go, find a hundred beauties in Pyongyang to send to Tang Jun, and say..." You have to find an excuse to send beauties, otherwise it will be embarrassing. Quan Gai Suwen thought for a while, "I just heard that Jia Ping'an was young and talented, and I respect such people...Give it to him."
A civil official said happily: "Da Mo Lizhi's plan is very clever. If Jia Pingan dares to accept it, Li Zhi can kill him when he turns around."
The most taboo of the emperor is this kind of thing. I haven't confiscated the beauty, but you have confiscated it. Whether it's evil intentions or daring, any of them can make the emperor burn with anger.
Quan Gai Suwen immediately issued more than ten orders, ranging from people's livelihood to military affairs. His voice was powerful and decisive, and the officials couldn't help but burst into tears. The familiar Da Mo Lizhi, the decisive Da Mo Lizhi is back again!
"Jia Pingan said that Silla was quite disrespectful to Datang. This is Chiguoguo's desire to kill people with a knife, but it is also good to send people to Baekje and tell Fuyu Yici that if they want to join forces to resist Datang, they should eliminate future troubles. Let them send troops and wipe out Silla."
Everyone promised.
Quan Gai Suwen got up, and said with piercing eyes: "Gao Li will suffer for it."
The four gates of Pyongyang City were opened, and the messengers went to various places to report.
In the palace, Quan Gai Suwen stood on the steps, the sunlight was blocked by the palace behind him, making him look a bit more majestic and deep. He stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "Datang's plan is very domineering. We know that it is to drive away tigers and wolves, but what can we do? Can we still refuse? Silla and us are deadly enemies, and it is impossible to help each other, so even if Knowing that this plan is poisonous, we have to swallow it too. This method... is ruthless!"
The son Quan Nannan next to him was full of heroic spirit, squinting his eyes and said: "Father, the retreat of the Tang Dynasty naturally wants us to destroy Silla..."
"You can see this, and I am very pleased to be a father."
Quan Gai Su Wen said coldly: "The Great Tang wants us to take advantage of the fire, to plan for our father, to accumulate strength, and when Tubo and other countries make a big attack, that will be Goryeo's chance... Goryeo will surely rise again! "
The sunlight crossed the palace behind him very well, and shone on him, looking majestic and extraordinary.
Good night!
