One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 197 Battle with Goryeo (3)

Li Xin asked: "It's impossible to send to people at once. How many navy ships are there in Licheng Port?"

Gao Shuo replied: "Originally, the imperial court had fifteen large-scale ships with a load of fifty thousand stones. Now five of them have been destroyed by the leader. The remaining ten are all in Licheng Port. In addition, there are one hundred ships in Licheng Port. There are only two to three hundred ships left."

Li Xin calculated and said: "In that case, if Goryeo sends all these ships next time, it will be able to carry more than infantry including the baggage and food."

Gao Shuo said: "Commander, don't forget that there are civilian ships. If the court recruits civilian ships, it can transport more troops. The young general estimates that the next time the court sends troops, there will be about troops."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, this is indeed a huge number. Hundreds of warships and troops sound really scary. Does that mean that if someone defeats the army of the Goryeo court again this time, then Tamna Island will be destroyed?" , ah no, this island has been renamed Jeju Island, which means that there will be no war in Jeju Island in the next two or three years."

Gao Shuo replied: "That's true. If the commander defeats the imperial army again, the young general thinks that the imperial court may send someone to have peace talks with the commander."

Li Xin said: "General Gao is very smart, and his analysis is very clear. I would like to ask if your ancestors are related to the former Great General Gao Xianzhi of Youyulin of the Tang Dynasty."

Gao Shuo said excitedly: "Commander, the ancestor of this young general is General Gao Xianzhi."

Li Xin said in surprise: "Seriously, I just asked because your surname is Gao and you are from Goguryeo, and General Gao Xianzhi is from Goguryeo."

Gao Shuo said: "Yes, the young general is a descendant of General Gao Xianzhi, and there is still a genealogy in his family."

Li Xin asked: "Do you remember that General Gao Xianzhi later moved to the Central Plains?"

Gao Shuo sighed: "The young general once heard from his father that after our ancestors were defeated and killed in the An-Shi Rebellion, the family was very frightened. Later, when the Central Plains was in turmoil, the family moved back to their original ancestral land, which is now Korea, after careful consideration. .”

Li Xin also sighed and said: "Your ancestors died unjustly during the An-Shi Rebellion. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had begun to decline, and the once wise Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty had become old and fatuous. Longji is also somewhat related, and he is also from the Li family in Longxi."

Gao Shuo was surprised and said: "Oh, then why did the commander come out to be a pirate?"

Li Xin smiled and said: "Haha, I will answer this question for you later. I am asking you now if you are willing to work under me. I will definitely give you a higher stage to show your talents."

Gao Shuo hesitated and said: "The commander is not that the young general is unwilling to follow you, but the young general's family is still in Korea. If the young general follows the commander, the young general's family will be in danger."

Li Xin said: "Someone in your family will come up with a solution."

Gao Shuo replied: "Then there will be no problem, young general."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, now you go back and draw a map of the vicinity of Licheng Port for me, and then figure out the life experiences of the other prisoners for me, and pick out all the bachelors for me. "

Gao Shuo cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Commander."

After Gao Shuo left, Li Xin said to Zhai Jin: "General Zhai, go and help General Gao. Once he has finished the map, he will send it to General Seven immediately. I will go find General Seven and the others now."

Zhai Jin nodded and said: "Okay, I will get the order at the end."

After bidding farewell to Zhai Jin, Li Xin called Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Rong at the dock and said, "After General Zhai sends you the map later, your navy will begin to conduct reconnaissance around Licheng Port. Don't let the other party discover it."

The two clasped their fists and said, "Yes, Lord, I understand."

At this time, in the Goryeo court, King Ruizong of Goryeo said with a livid face: "Everyone, can anyone come and tell the lonely king what happened to Tamna Island and who occupied it? How many troops and ships are there on the island? Ours How is the advance fleet? Last night, the enemy actually burned down a dock and more than a hundred large and small ships."

A middle-aged man in his forties came out and said: "Your Majesty, since the dock and more than a hundred ships that followed have been burned down, I estimate that the advance fleet must have encountered something unexpected."

Wang Ma frowned and said, "What does the Grand Master think of this group of enemies?"

This Grand Master of Goryeo was Li Ziqian, a famous relative and powerful official of the Goryeo Dynasty. This man was the head of the Li family in Inju, Goryeo, and the father-in-law of Wang Mata. His two daughters were both married to Wang Mata, one of whom was Wang Mata’s daughter. Queen Shunde.

The Li family of Inju has been married to the King of Goryeo since the reign of Emperor Wenzong of Goryeo. It has been more than six generations and more than years since the king came here. The Li family has been expelled from the court except for the Suzong period because of the Li Ziyi rebellion. Looking at the status of Qi and looking at the government affairs, it can be said that the Inju Li family is the largest supplier of the Queen and Princess of Goryeo.

Li Ziqian replied: "The old minister guessed that the day
