Chapter 833 (2/2)
After all, this will only make Zhenla think that the Tang Dynasty is afraid of them and encourage them to be arrogant.
Therefore, Li Hong had to leave yuan Shuji, Guo Shifeng and Liu Yanyou to fight for Zhenla at this time, and he had to go down the Red River to the South China Sea, and then took a boat through the South China Sea to go to the Dashi capital.
After three days' stay in Song Ping, who was the guardian of Annam capital, Li Hong led a 3000 strong putu camp and started sailing to the South China Sea with lawlessness.
Two days down the river, 3000 troops stood on the beach again. From a distance, the two warships with the flag of the Tang Dynasty had been moored in the simple harbor.It is like entering a more primitive tribe once again. In the bright sunshine, the simple harbor, apart from the two huge warships of the Tang Dynasty, is a number of commercial ships like fishing boats, among which the commercial ships of the Tang Dynasty are the majority.
After all, these places still belong to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, not to the territory of other countries as in previous generations.
On the bustling wharf, a large number of goods and goods are inspected and inspected here. Only then can they continue to move southward along the coastline, truly enter the South China Sea from Beibu Gulf, and then along the ancient maritime Silk Road, merchants began to carry out real world trade.
After all, Li Hong had been to Hanoi in his last life and never visited the Red River with a cruise ship.
Like this time, he finally arrived at the port of Nanding, and then returned to Sanya by boat.
Squinting at the harbor merchants, they were flustered to make way for them. If it wasn't for the big Tang characters on the banners waving behind them, they would have escaped from the sea one by one.
Pei Xingjian and Chen Jingzhi rushed to meet Li Hong. There were not many soldiers on the two ships, but the Zhuque and Qinglong, which had prepared enough necessities for life, were ready for Li Hong.
”It is estimated that Cui Zhibian will come from Quanzhou in the next few days, so your highness doesn't have to worry about the issue of the last general and others going out for Zhenla.” Pei Xingjian, who had just stepped onto the Qinglong warship, explained to Li Hong.
”That would be the best.” Li Hong stood at the bowstring of the ship, watching the 3000 men of the slaughterhouse floating on the dock, were boarding the ship in an orderly manner. He said with a sigh of relief: ”3000 people, two warships, enough food and water.”
”Don't worry, your highness. After receiving your will the day before yesterday, I have already stepped up our efforts to do it. Besides, before that, Mo Jiang and Mr. Chen Jingzhi have been making sufficient preparations for zhengzhenla, so your highness need not worry. However, after conquering Zhenla without you, who should make the decision and decide on the negotiation with king Zhenla after we contributed the capital of Zhenla
Entering the spacious cabin, Li Hong, in addition to Wei Tuqi, was Pei Xingjian and Chen Jingzhi.
After all, Li Hong was the leader of the expedition, but now the general is leaving. Although it will not cause too much instability in the army's morale, it is easy for these generals to have differences on some matters in the aftermath.
When Li Hong started from Song Ping, Liu Yanyou once asked Li Hong this question. Li Hong simply gave him five words: Pei Xingjian and Ma Zai.
Therefore, in the face of Pei Xingjian's problem, Li Hong still believes that Pei and Ma had the ability to make decisions on the Zhenla issue if they could manage Anxi in an orderly way.
What's more, Ma Zai has been lurking in Zhenla for many years. With their tacit understanding and Ma Zai's understanding of Zhenla, it is not difficult to make a favorable decision for the Tang Dynasty after the war.
There are many mountains and dense forests here, and there is not much land as flat and vast as the Central Plains. Therefore, Li Hong, Pei Xingjian and Ma Zai have no interest in the land beyond Songping, and they do not want to take it as their own.
Just like Li Hongzheng's original purpose in Zhenla, what they can see is that they are most concerned about the huge economic profits of each port on the maritime Silk Road due to trade.
Therefore, as long as we can capture the ports outside the Changshan mountains, that is, after many years, Zhenla is divided into water and land, it is enough.
Both Pei Xingjian and Chen Jingzhi were the old father-in-law of the prince's highness. So when Li Hong stopped participating in the battle and solved the problem of the decision-making and selection for zhengzhenla, they were happy that Li Hong could not participate in the battle in person.
After all, as the crown prince's father-in-law, both of them have received the will of their daughter, Prince and princess. That is, when the prince's highness is fighting Zhenla, his father must take good care of him, but his highness can't be hurt.
But now, the prince's highness withdrew from the battle in person because of an important matter. This also made the two people feel relieved after solving the problem of decision-making and candidates. Their looks were more relaxed than before.
