Lu Long, Shanhaiguan.

At the Qinhuangdao Wharf, thousands of large and small ships were urgently recruited here, including fishing boats from coastal fishermen and merchants' merchant ships.

Except for ships that were frozen in the port fishing village due to freezing, ships that could go to sea within the Youzhou Grand Governor's Office were urgently recruited by Lao Niu.

A large number of people received notifications from the government to go door to door, asking them to take on an emergency task quickly. One hundred dollars a day, including food and accommodation, and after the errands were completed, each person would give him another blanket.

The wages hired are much higher than usual.

"At this time, the canal has not yet melted. What should I do? Do I transport grain?" Many people who received the conscript asked in confusion.

······

Niu Jinda urgently mobilized eight thousand soldiers, including 3,000 border soldiers, 5,000 Youzhou regiments, and urgently recruited 12,000 civilians.

Some of the civilians who were recruited by various prefectures and counties were assigned to the task of transporting grain and were responsible for transporting grain, grass and weapons from Youzhou and other places to the seaside of Pingzhou. The canal had not yet been thawed, so they could only push horses and pull donkeys.

Youzhou stores a large amount of weapons, food, grass and other supplies, but it is still 800 miles away from the Qinhuangdao Wharf in Pingzhou. If it is a month later, after opening the sea and thawing, it will save most of the distance directly from Tianjin Port.

Unfortunately, time doesn't wait for anyone.

Under pressure, Lao Niu still resisted the opposition of the officials of the Grand Governor's Office and insisted on sending troops. He took all the responsibility alone.

"The court wants to ask for the crime, and I will take it alone, but Duke Wei has already led his troops to fight in Liaodong. Thousands of soldiers are bleeding and sacrificing. We cannot watch from the rear. We will discuss all the responsibilities later. Now we will cooperate with Duke Wei to fight this battle first!"

Lao Niu personally submitted a letter of apology to the court, but while issuing a letter of apology, Lao Niu issued an emergency mobilization order.

And rushed to Pingzhou in person.

Countless people, horses, money and grain gathered all the way to Qinhuangdao, Pingzhou. This small island port near Yingzhou, western Liaoning, and near Shanhaiguan is now extremely popular because of the unfreezing port.

After the first batch of 1,000 soldiers arrived, Lao Niu did not care about anything else and immediately led his troops onto the ship and sailed towards Liaodong.

While floating with the waves on the sea, Lao Niu was thinking about one thing, hoping that Qin Lang was still waiting for him.

Lao Niu couldn't understand why Qin Lang acted so recklessly this time. He was clearly patrolling the southeast of the province, so why did he suddenly send troops to Liaodong?

And with his 1,000 soldiers and another 1,000 newly recruited sailors, he sent troops to Goguryeo?

The past can barely be explained when capturing Changxing Island, saying that there are pirates and smugglers on the island, but attacking Beisha City is too courageous.

Beisha City is not easy to fight.

And even if Qin Langzhen conquered, it could lead to a full-scale war between the two countries. If the Goguryeo people led their troops to seize it, would the Tang Dynasty defend it?

The most important thing is, what about the emperor's intentions?

As a minister, it is too bold to make decisions on such a major matter without authorization.

Regardless of whether the matter is successful or not, when Chang'an learns the news, there will be a big fuss. At that time, countless people will definitely impeach Qin Lang.

Even the old cow could not escape, and the old cow could even be sure that it would not take long before a messenger would come to Chang'an with an imperial edict to remove him from his post.

The old cow could only smile bitterly.

In recent years, he has been relying on the help of Qin Qiong and Qin Lang to become the current chief of the Youzhou Grand Governor's Office, the governor of Youzhou, and promoted to the Duke of the State.

These are favors, and they have to pay back.

With the effort to get rid of office, he could only wade into this muddy water. He could not watch Qin Lang die alone. If Qin Lang leads those thousand people to die under Beisha City, then he would have to feel guilty and blame himself for the rest of his life.

The straight line distance from Qinhuangdao to Changxing Island is only 320 miles, and you can basically reach it in one day.

After riding the wind and waves and fighting with the wind and waves on the sea for a day, Niu Jinda finally arrived at the Changxing Island Wharf before dark. He didn't care about dizziness, so he jumped off the boat and rushed to the island. As a result, he only saw countless merchant slaves and a small number of Tang soldiers.

"Where is Duke Wei?"

The person responsible for the island was Lao Huang. He took Mrs. Anon and the caravan from Chang'an later. He originally planned to take a boat to the Hainan Island at Mizhou Port, but he received a letter from Qin Lang halfway and asked him to come to Changxing Island first.

After Lao Huang arrived at Changxing Island, he immediately took over the affairs of Changxing Island with his subordinates, and was busy accepting batches of slaves transported from Beisha City.

Changxing Island became a temporary slave market, and slaves were continuously transported from Beisha City, and Lao Huang held a slave auction here.

A large number of merchants came to hear the news, making Changxing Island more lively.

"Duke Wei just took down Beisha City, and at this time he was sending troops to clear away Goguryeo villages near Beisha City, and arresting people everywhere and transporting them here to sell them as slaves."

The old cow was stunned for a moment.

"Has Beisha City taken it?"

"Yes, I took it a few days ago."

"How is this possible!"

Lao Huang told him that in fact, Qin Lang had already captured Beisha City on the third day after Lao Niu left Changxing Island, "It only took one night."

"Night attack? How many casualties were taken?"

"Thirty-seven people were killed and twenty-one seriously injured or disabled."

The number of casualties was like a joke, but Lao Niu was confused when he looked at the scene on the island.

"How is that possible?"

"Duke Wei invited the Dragon King of the East China Sea to help and borrowed the divine thunder and sky fire."

Lao Niu almost vomited Lao Huang's saliva on his face and was fooling him.

After walking around the island, Lao Niu couldn't help it. Regardless of his fatigue, he quickly asked all the Youzhou soldiers who had just arrived ashore to board the boat. Regardless of everyone's traversal, he asked the sailors to continue sailing in Beisha City while gnawing on the pancakes.

Because the coast on the Bohai Bay side of Beisha City had not yet thawed, Lao Niu had to take his fleet around the southern end of the peninsula and run to Qingnipu Port, which is not frozen. It took two days to travel nearly 500 miles of sea route.

Along the way, Qin Lang's ships could be seen from time to time on the sea along the coast, all of which were loaded with Goguryeo slaves to Changxing Island.

Some small boats directly transport people to islands near the coast, such as Snake Island Pig Island Bear Island Ant Island Rabbit Island Sanshan Island, etc. These islands of all sizes were originally controlled by the Goguryeo people, but they were all controlled by the Tang army.

Not only did they break through the villages of fishermen on the island, they also built temporary prisoner camps on the island, and temporarily held the fishermen on the island and the slaves transported from the sand.

Many merchants sailed on merchant ships and guards and accepted Qin Lang's temporary recruitment and joined the magnificent fire operation.

After he arrived at Qingnipu Port and landed, he found that the port was in full swing.

The original small fishing village in the port has now become a huge temporary camp with tent shacks everywhere.

Many ships of all sizes are parked here.

Because Beisha City was captured, the entire area south of Beisha City has now fallen. Cheng Chumoniu saw Hu Wu Shisheng and others being divided into troops and attacked the villages everywhere.

Then the merchants followed behind. Every time they broke through a village, they flocked to it, with no remaining population, livestock, money, and the slag they could divide up.

Cheng Chumo and the others did not have to deal with these troublesome things, and they all packed them up to the merchants behind them, whether they were slaves or supplies, they would pack them up to the merchants at a cheaper price.

Merchants will transport the purchased spoils to Qingnipu Port as fast as possible, where more merchants will sort and acquire various spoils transported back on the battlefield. Some merchants will transport things directly to the islands on the sea by ship.

This can also reduce the risks, and there is no need to worry about the losses of the Goguryeo army after it counterattacked.

Lao Niu was shocked when he saw this scene.

A thousand Youzhou soldiers who had been sailing on the sea for three consecutive days and were already dizzy, also looked at the scene with shock.

A group of merchants saw so many ships coming, all flocking to them.

They wanted to hire Lao Niu at a high price so that they could transport the spoils piled in Qingnipu as soon as possible, and at least they would have to transport them to the Sanshan Islands outside the port first, so that they would be safer and more secure.

Lao Niu didn't have time to pay attention to these people and directly asked someone to find the officer in charge of the port.

"Where is Duke Wei?"

"In the city of Beisha."

Without saying a word, Lao Niu waved his hand and asked the thousand Youzhou troops who had just got off the ship to follow him to Beisha City twelve miles away.

When a group of people entered Beisha City, they were exhausted.

Lao Niu finally saw Qin Lang, and also saw Beisha City, an almost intact Beisha City, plus the almost intact Qin Lang army.

"What's going on? I really asked the Dragon King to touch?"

Qin Lang laughed loudly. The request for the Dragon King to help the war was just a propaganda. In order to increase the mystery of the Tang army breaking the city, it is also to shock the Goguryeo people.

"Uncle Niu came so quickly!"

"That's not as fast as your boy. Didn't you agree to wait until I transfer the Youzhou soldiers to Changxing Island before taking action? Why are you so dangerous? You didn't consider what if?"

"Nothing in case, everything is calculated."

The old cow wanted to hammer Qin Lang.

Without caring about hard work, I walked around Beisha City. Lao Niu had to sigh that this Beisha City was really dangerous.

"Just talking about the danger, this Beisha City is probably still above my Youzhou City. Two thousand people break through ten miles of the city. This is really a fucking miracle."

"It's not a miracle, it's a miracle, the power of the Dragon King!" Qin Lang laughed.

When Lao Niu heard that Qin Lang had breached Beisha City with the secret imperial guards, he was amazed at such a mysterious firearm unit.

After all, he is one of the new military leaders and a rank of generals with the rank of 12 guards. He didn't expect that the emperor had such an amazing army in his hands, but he knew nothing.

"What should I do now?" Niu Jinda asked.

"Did you think about how to deal with the imperial court?"

"What about the reaction of the Goguryeo people?"

Three questions about the old cow's soul.
