"Your Majesty, the surface of the Yalu River is too wide, and our bows and arrows cannot threaten the other party at all, so the Goguryeo people on the opposite side can destroy our floating bridge unscrupulously. I feel that we must find a way to stop the Goguryeo people from attacking the floating bridge!" Cheng Yaojin looked at the burned floating bridge on the river and said with a little heartbroken feeling. The floating bridges built several times were burned, and many craftsmen were killed and injured, which made him, the chief general, so angry that he wanted to kill people.

"Your Majesty, I also think that going on like this is not a solution. After all, the river surface is so wide, if there are no enemies, we can build a floating bridge to cross it. But in this situation, I think that I can only transfer ships. If there are enough ships, then take a boat to cross the river directly. If there are not enough ships, then let the archers board the boat and suppress the opponent's troops, so that the floating bridge can be built smoothly!" Li Ji also spoke at this time and suggested.

"It is a good idea to cross the river with a boat, but if you send someone to mobilize the ships now, it will probably take at least more than a month to go back and forth. Now it is July, and the weather here will become cold in September, and there will probably be less time left for us." Li Daozong also spoke at this time. Although the Tang Dynasty does not lack ships, it is still deep into the hinterland of Goguryeo. It is too difficult to mobilize the ships from the Tang Dynasty.

"There is a ship in Qiu Xiaozhong who escorted Su Dingfang. I just don't know if he has gone back now. And now they are on the sea, it is a big problem to notify them." Li Xiu also frowned at this time and said, "It's not like the later generations. Communication methods are too backward. Things that can be solved by a phone call in the later generations have become an impossible task in the Tang Dynasty.

"Then send someone to Dengzhou to inform the navy to prepare the ships. Even if you wait for an extra month, you must catch the Pogoukou!" Li Shimin also held his breath at this time. Although his side had an advantage in military strength, he could not get through due to the terrain and could not defeat the enemy, which made him very angry.

Hearing Li Shimin say this, Cheng Yaojin immediately took the order and asked the craftsmen to go back to the camp to rest. After all, no matter how hard it is to build a floating bridge, it is useless. It is better to go back and rest. At the same time, he also sent people to notify the people behind and asked them to organize ships to come to the Mugoukou. Speaking of which, Bogoukou is originally the lower reaches of the Yalu River, very close to the sea outlet, so the fleet can reach here directly from the sea. Of course, with the depth of the Yalu River, too large sea boats may not be able to enter.

Originally, Li Xiu and others thought they would have to wait a month before they could organize their fleets to arrive, but what they didn't expect was that just a few days ago they had sent the people sent to the rear to convey the orders, but suddenly a huge fleet appeared downstream of the Yalu River, which surprised everyone in the Tang army camp. Even Li Shimin thought it was a reinforcement from Goguryeo, because looking at the style of the other party's ship, it was definitely not the navy of the Tang Dynasty.

But what was unexpected was that the fleet stopped on the bank of the river near the Tang army camp, and then someone immediately came ashore to the Tang army camp for a visit. At this time, the talents in the military camp discovered through the flags on the ship that the people who came here were actually Sillas.

When Li Shimin learned that it was a fleet of Sillas, he couldn't help but show a surprise expression. Then he asked the person who wanted to see him in. Then a tall and gentle middle-aged man came in. When he saw Li Xiu, he immediately bowed and said, "Sila ruling B paid homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

"No need to be polite, are you still safe?" Li Shimin also smiled and said, Silla is now in power, named Jin Deman, and this is also the first queen of Silla. This queen is not simple. After ascending the throne, she actively contacted the Tang Dynasty and finally finally hugged Li Shimin's thigh, which was avoiding the crisis of being destroyed by Goguryeo and Baekje.

"Thank you for your concern. Our Queen is safe. And this time I heard that the Tang Dynasty descended the heavenly soldiers to attack Goguryeo. Although our country is small and weak, we also want to contribute some strength to Your Majesty. Therefore, the Queen has ordered the army to attack Pyongyang from the east. Before, I heard that Your Majesty arrived at the Yalu River. The Queen was worried that Your Majesty would not be able to cross the river, so she sent her subordinates to lead a fleet to support Your Majesty!" The Bian Ji replied respectfully again.

However, Li Xiu, who was standing next to Li Shimin, secretly curled his lips. Although this Yi Ji seemed humble and placed Silla in an extremely low position in his words, Li Xiu knew that this was the way Silla and the Tang Dynasty got along. They were doing their best to show weakness to the Tang Dynasty, in order not to let the Tang Dynasty focus on them. After the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, if they could not garrison here for a long time in the future, then they could erode the original Goguryeo territory little by little.

"Not bad, your queen is intent. I have indeed encountered the problem of crossing the river here. Your fleet is also very timely!" Li Shimin seemed to be very helpful to Yi Ji's words, and he couldn't help but smile and his expression on his face was also very kind.

"As long as your Majesty needs you, we Silla are willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty. This time, the minister brought three hundred big ships and thousands of small boats. Now they are all docked on the bank of the river. As long as your Majesty has his order, we will follow your Majesty's order!" Yi Ji said loyally again. His Chinese language is very casual, and he can even use idioms.

"Three hundred big ships? So many?" Li Shimin couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard Yi Ji's words. After all, even the Tang Dynasty's navy could only be called a big ship, and it was really surprising that Silla, a small country, could actually dispatch so many big ships.

"This..." However, Yi Ji suddenly showed an awkward look at this time. After a moment, he laughed and explained, "Your Majesty, our Silla country is weak and cannot build a big ship like the Tang Dynasty. The big ship we are talking about is actually far from comparable to the big ships of the Tang Dynasty. I have seen the big ships that the Tang army rides before, one can almost support our four or five large ships."

"Hahahaha~" As soon as Yi Ji said, it immediately caused the other ministers in the tent to burst into laughter. Even Li Shimin couldn't help but smile, but he quickly stopped his smile. After all, he shouldn't have made fun of him. Therefore, he deliberately said with a stern face and said again, "It is very rare for you monarch and ministers to have this idea. If you conquer Pyongyang City in the future, I will definitely reward you monarch and ministers at that time!"

"Thank you Your Majesty!" Yi Ji immediately politely said again when he heard Li Shimin's words. He also liked the expression of joy on his face, as if he cared about Li Shimin's reward. But Li Xiu next to him frowned slightly, because he always felt something was wrong with this Yi Ji.
