Chapter 40 Peeping(3/3)
"Call him."
Yang Yizhong left immediately without saying a word. Only half a quarter of an hour later, he arrived with a somewhat confused Li Bao. The Zhao Guan family also asked Yu Yunwen to recount the incident.
"How?" Zhao Jiu looked expectant.
"I don't want to hide anything from the officials. It's extremely difficult at this time!" Li Bao hesitated for a moment, but still held his hands to each other.
"Why?" Zhao Jiu was puzzled for a moment. "The Jin people should not be good at water fighting, and I have stored many gunpowder bags in Tokyo, and there is no shortage of things to ignite the fire..."
Li Bao still shook his head: "The official... I have been to both rivers and seas. To me, fighting on the water is certainly better than a man's water quality and experience, but in the final analysis, it still has to be compared with boats. A big boat is better than a small boat, and more boats are better than boats.
Young Master...gunpowder packets are a good thing, but how can we attack Xiao Wu Xun without a boat? Moreover, the local minister of Xiao Wu Xun also knows that if I think about it at this time, if I want to capture it, I will definitely need a big boat, because only a big boat is needed.
Only large ships can be equipped with small trebuchets like the ones that the government is organizing in Nanyang, and can launch gunpowder packets into the harbor across the embankment. Small boats must also rush into the harbor to engage in battle to prevent enemy ships from scattering and hiding."
Zhao Jiu calmed down for a moment... Then he remembered that Yu Yunwen had just said that after Jingkang, in the Jianyan area, the Jin people gradually took control of the Yellow River channel, and most of the Yellow River ferries were controlled by the Jin people.
And since the Jin people controlled most of the ferries, conversely, the Song army did not have many ships.
"Besides, it's not enough to have a boat, you have to have good sailors...According to this tall Jinshi, there are hundreds and thousands of ferries of all sizes in Xiaowuxi, but there are only one or two thousand good sailors here, and there are no boats."
There is no one, so what can we do to sneak attack on Xiao Wu?"
Zhao Jiu calmed down more and more.
And just when the official was about to give up, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the 'tall Jinshi' from the corner of his eye who seemed to be eager to try again.
"Do you want to talk?" Zhao Guanjia's expression remained unchanged, but his heart became slightly more hopeful.
"The official family, I know where there are ships and where the sailors are..." Yu Yunwen couldn't wait. "The official family currently has 20,000 imperial navy troops, and there are countless ships available in the Liangshan berth!"
Zhao Jiu didn't show any disappointment on his face, but Li Bao simply laughed.
"You Jinshi are ignorant," Li Bao said with a sneer. "I, Li San, are from Puzhou, and I know Liangshanbo's strength better than you... But even if the heroes from Liangshan come here, they will only have sailors at most, but they are still
There is no boat…”
"There are ships at Liangshan." Yu Yunwen interrupted the other party sincerely. "There are both big and small ships. Leader Zhang told me that there are hundreds of ships for each one."
"I know, but if you can't cross, you can't drag hundreds of large and small boats across the ground to this side of the Yellow River, right?" Li Bao became more and more annoyed. "Could it be that you want to dig a river dozens of miles long from the Yellow River?
Tongji Water, and then to Liangshan Po? If you do that, I'm afraid you will have to change the river course again."
"There is no need to dig dozens of miles, only two miles can connect Liangshanbo to the Yellow River!" Yu Yunwen didn't know what Yihe Road was, but it was obvious that he had his own ideas. "And if we really dig it, there is no shortage of manpower at this time, and even more
The Jin people won’t notice!”
Li Bao was still smiling, but he didn't bother to pay attention to this tall young Jinshi who only talked about military matters.
But at the same time, Zhao Guanjia was suddenly stunned, because he realized what Yu Yunwen meant almost instantly - you know, part of Hua Shi Gang came from Liangshan that day! The way was Guangji River! That is, Wu Yunwen
Zhanghe!
The Bianhe River, which leads directly to the Yellow River, also passes through the city of Tokyo...
Isn't the nearest place just two miles away?
At this thought, Zhao Guanjia's expression remained unchanged, but his chest started to beat loudly.
"You have just heard what Commander Li said. Battles require large ships. Can the large-scale ships in Liangshan Bo pass there?" Zhao Jiu's expression remained unchanged and he asked cautiously.
Both Li Bao and Yang Yizhong were puzzled for a moment, but it didn't stop them from getting some understanding from Zhao Guan's words. So as soon as these words came out, Yang Yizhong, who had been expressionless, was slightly moved and Li Bao was also completely serious.
stand up.
"The newly widened river channel is definitely sufficient, but the water gate needs to be demolished." Under the encouraging eyes of Zhao Guan's family, Yu Yunwen tried his best to continue.
Yang Yizhong, who is familiar with the structure of Tokyo city, immediately verified his conjecture after hearing the word Watergate, but became a little uneasy: "For officials, Watergate can be demolished quickly, but it may not be easy to rebuild... If it doesn't work,
The Jin people crossed the river instead, fearing that they would leave deficiencies in the city's defense."
"It will be better if it is dismantled quickly." Zhao Jiu looked calm. "How can we regret the bottles and cans in the war? But I still have one worry... If the Liangshan warship passes through Tokyo, I only need to lock the water gate, and hundreds of warships will be gone.
If I don’t belong to Liang Shanbo, why should I let Lieutenant Zhang trust me after so many years of family foundation?”
At this time, Li Bao just woke up, but he rubbed his hands in excitement: "Guan, if I can surprise Liang Shanbo's army and come to the Yellow River, the matter will be 80% done! I am willing to be the vanguard for Zhang Da leader!"
However, Yang Yizhong and Yu Yunwen each wanted to speak.
"I know what you want to say, Commander Li, please be patient." Zhao Jiu raised his hand to stop the three of them, then leaned forward with the bow and arrow at his waist, and continued. "Even Captain Zhang trusts me, but Liang Shanbo
It is not Zhang Taiwei’s family background alone, so how can he make the people below trust the imperial court? Send all the ships that rely on him to send them to Tokyo City? "
"I would like to go to Liangshanbo with my party." Yang Yizhong offered his hands to each other. "I have had a relationship with Xiao En, the leader of Liangshanbo. He is a loyal person and can be used..."
Yu Yunwen's lips trembled, and he suddenly said seriously: "For the sake of the country, I am willing to go out as an envoy again and follow Yang Tongzhi to Liangshanbo!"
"For the sake of the country." Zhao Jiu said this and pulled out an arrow, then stared at Yu Yunwen, broke it on the spot, and threw the broken arrow to the ground. "No matter whether this matter can be accomplished or not, I will grant you a marriage first.
!Don’t refuse!”
Yu Yunwen gritted his teeth and bowed his head to each other, lowered his head, but it was facing the broken arrow, and then his blood almost boiled: "The official has returned to Tokyo to prepare, and I will not give up even if I die!"
Li Bao was puzzled for a moment: "Isn't it a good thing to grant a marriage? How can a Jinshi be like going to the execution ground?"
