Chapter 1003
Previously, when Li Chao left Hanjing, he never thought that he would go back so soon, and in this way.
At that time, he sailed down the river and crossed the sea to the north. If it weren't for this farce, he should have been besieging Beisha City now, and he would definitely be able to take it. After taking Beisha City, this fiefdom in southern Liaoning would truly belong to him.
Then, he would trade with Silla, Japan, Baekje, and the Marine in Baishan and Heishan, while setting sail to rob the coast of Goguryeo.
The robbed prisoners were transported to Baodao, where they were cultivated plantations, mines, workshops, and castles were built. They created a world that belonged to him and the Li family.
Now that I think about it, everything is so wonderful as this plan.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. He had already arrived at Beisha City, but in the end he still withdrew his troops. At this time, he sailed to the sea, but returned.
The student he taught was taught by him, Prince Chengqian wrote a letter to summon him to serve the king. He had to go back to rescue him, he needed him.
The helmsman controls the rudder, allowing the sails to be exposed to the wind, and allows the ship to sail quickly on the sea.
More than 300 ships of all sizes carry nearly 3,000 sailors and 5,000 marines. This is a huge fleet, a fleet that is overlooked but has great strength.
Under Li Chao's hands, there were five great Garens, all of which were equipped with naval guns. These were more than one hundred guns, with absolutely powerful firepower.
The wind blows the sails, and the sails swell.
Li Chao stood at the bow of the ship, and he placed his hand on the mortar on the bow of the ship, and several disciples stood behind him. The ship sailed through the green sea waves, next to it was the blue sea and blue sky, white seagulls, and the island that appeared from time to time in the distance.
Dengzhou Port is right in front.
Such a huge fleet approached, which aroused the vigilance of the navy. Several warships sailed out of the water camp and intercepted them. The King's Army raised a banner to indicate their identity.
The two fleets stopped anchoring.
The navy approached a small boat, and the group climbed up the rope ladder.
"I have met Duke Zhao." Seeing Li Chao, the navy immediately saluted respectfully.
Li Chao greeted them and then took out the crown prince's imperial edict to serve the king.
"I have granted me the privileges given to me by His Highness the Prince, and now I declare that the Dengzhou Fubo Fleet, the Northern Yai of the Tang Dynasty, obeyed my command."
The officer who boarded the ship was just the captain of a communication boat, a small eighth-rank military officer. He held the imperial edict in his hand, like a hot potato.
He was still stunned by the news of the turmoil in the capital.
"Do you doubt the authenticity and legality of this edict?" Li Chao asked.
"I dare not be a humble position, but it is a big deal. I need to report to Shangguan and listen to Shangguan's handling."
Li Chao nodded. The officer was pretty good. "Of course, I'll wait for your news here. But I'll only give you a quarter of an hour. If your fleet does not obey the order within a quarter of an hour and does not surrender the sails to obey my command, then I will regard you as rebelled, and you will consider the consequences yourself."
The officer rubbed the sweat from his forehead and bent down.
I got on my own boat and left as if I ran away.
"Will the Dengzhou fleet accept this order?" Wang Xuance asked.
"I'll know in a quarter of an hour."
The Fubo fleet has five thousand men and dozens of ships. However, they have not yet taken over all ships, especially those large warships.
They use Dengzhou as their home port, but they also have their own port military camps at the mouth of the Yellow River and several major rivers in Hebei in the north.
Even though they only have a small fleet now, their soldiers are 5,000.
The ship Li Chao has, but what Li Chao lacks now is soldiers.
As far as he knows, Li Chao has gathered 20,000 to 30,000 people. As time goes by, there will definitely be more people around Hanjing who will turn to this founding emperor.
Before a quarter of an hour arrived, the sails dropped from the ships opposite.
Li Chao's personal prestige and the edict made the main general of the fleet dare not hesitate much. They belonged to the imperial guards, but because they were stationed on the east coast, Li Yuan had no time to come to contact them, and even the edict had not been delivered.
The prince's men came first.
Li Chao's fleet stepped forward and surrounded several ships, and then the officers on those ships boarded Li Chao's ship.
"Let's go back to the port first."
The fleet returned to Dengzhou together with several boats.
The ship entered the port, and Li Chao and others walked off the ship.
The military port is separated from the Shang port, but not far apart. You can see that the Shang port is still very busy here. There is also a city on the military port, known as the Water City, but it is actually the city of the military port. It surrounds a port and has a water gate. Then there are arrow towers, crossbow platforms, and stone-throwing cannon positions on the shore.
The castle on the shore is only two miles in circumference, but it is full of all organs, including military camps, warehouses, etc.
A group of people were waiting at the gate of the water city.
"That is the main general of our fleet, General Fubo, General Sun Lianhai."
Sun Lianhai is a tall and burly middle-aged man with sharp eyes and a beard. He was standing at the gate of the city, and there were several strangers standing next to him.
"Old Liu, you are back just in time. People from the capital have come. There is a unfortunate news that Your Majesty died in the Western Regions. Now the Supreme Emperor is ruled by the world again. This is the envoy sent by Your Majesty, who comes with His Majesty's will."
The captain named Liu next to Li Chao said helplessly, "General, I just met Duke Zhao who returned from Liaodong outside Hong Kong, and he also received the imperial edict from His Majesty."
Only then did Sun Lianhai see Li Chao and Cheng Yaojin behind him.
Neither of them wore official robes, but instead wore short-shots and a straw hat, which made people not pay attention for a while.
When Sun Lianhai saw the two, he had no major reaction.
But when the envoys from the capital behind him heard Li Chao's name, his face changed drastically and even wanted to turn around and leave.
Li Chao sneered, Old Cheng had already rushed forward, knocked down one with one punch, kicked a few more, and then picked up the man like an eagle carrying a chicken.
"An angel from the capital? Why did he meet Duke Zhao and my old Cheng but he is going to run away?"
Sun Liancheng was stunned on the spot, not understanding what was going on.
Liu Xun said to him quickly, "The imperial edict received by Duke Zhao is different from the imperial edict given to the general."
"no the same?"
"Duke Zhao received the imperial edict from His Highness the Crown Prince. There were rebels in the capital, including Chai Shao, Li Xiaogong, and others plotted against rebellion, kidnapped the Supreme Emperor, and besieged the Eastern Palace. They spread rumors that His Majesty had passed away and then tried to usurp the world."
Sun Lianhai was so shocked that he almost jumped up, "Duke Zhao, I really don't know these things, I don't know anything."
Li Chao smiled and said to him, "General Sun, don't worry, the purity will be clear, I believe your innocence. I have received the imperial edict from His Highness the Crown Prince to serve the king. Now I want to recruit your Fubo Fleet Navy and go to Beijing to serve the king together. Are you willing to accept my command?"
"I am willing, I am willing to follow the Duke of Zhao to serve the king and go to Beijing to quell the rebellion!" Zhao Lianhai almost shouted.
Li Chao nodded with satisfaction.
He waved, and Cheng Yaojin came over with the messenger and threw the person directly to the ground. The man fell heavily, but he didn't dare to say anything more, Li Chao, that was named King of Hell. Cheng Yaojin, known as the Demon King of the World, had been so bad for eight lifetimes when he met these two.
"Sun Liancheng, don't be deceived by Li Chao. The emperor has collapsed. Now the Supreme Emperor is in charge of the court. Li Chao is going to rebel. Don't follow him and make mistakes."
Sun Liancheng took a few steps forward, drew out his sword, and stabbed it into the messenger's mouth with one sword. The tip of the sword came out from behind his head. The man opened his eyes wide and could not say a word.
