The Bohai Sea was called Beihai in ancient times, also known as Shaohai. Because it is surrounded by the Liaodong Peninsula and the Shandong Peninsula, the area of ​​the Bohai Sea is not very large. It can even be said to be just a relatively large bay. At the opposite end of the Shandong Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, there is a chain of islands. The ancients were able to take a boat to and from two peninsulas along this island chain.

The navigation technology of the Tang Dynasty was already very developed, and it could build large ships that could reach hundreds of steps. Moreover, with the arrival of Li Xiu, especially Qi Niang, who worked hard to study shipbuilding, used the knowledge she learned from Li Xiu to design many larger, safer and faster sea ships, which greatly promoted the shipbuilding industry of the Tang Dynasty. After all, there was no patent in this era. When other shipbuilding workshops saw the excellent ships of Qi Niang, they naturally imitated them. It is no exaggeration to say that most of the sea ships running along the coast of the Tang Dynasty are designed by Qi Niang.

With the development of maritime trade, the Tang Dynasty also began to pay attention to the construction of the navy. In the past, the Tang Dynasty did not have a special navy, but was called a navy. Whether it was the river or the sea, the ships used were not much different. Sometimes, the tall tower ships would even be driven to the sea. As a result, such ships with high center of gravity had extremely poor balance. A wave could overturn the ship, and many tragedies had occurred.

Later, at the suggestion of Li Xiu, the Tang Dynasty began to separate the navy, and the ships used also used the latest type of sea ships. The first navy was located in Dengzhou, on the Shandong Peninsula. In fact, the original purpose of this navy was to be able to cross the sea to attack Goguryeo in the future. Zhang Liang's army had been escorted by this navy to reach Beisha City from Dengzhou, and now another army was escorted by this navy to sea.

"Vomit~" Pei Xingjian held the side of the boat and made a burst of vomiting sounds that made people feel sore. Even the best sea boat could not avoid the bumps during sailing. What's more, the storm today is still relatively heavy. This is Pei Xingjian and the others who really went to sea for the first time, so not only could he not stand it, but almost half of the soldiers on the boat could not stand it. At this time, they all vomited pale faces, and they wanted to vomit their stomachs.

I don’t know how long I vomited, but Pei Xingjian only felt that his stomach was empty. No matter how nauseous he was, he couldn’t spit anything out. Then he sat there on the side of the boat, gasping heavily. Finally, after a while, he wanted to struggle to stand up, but he felt dizzy and his eyes were a little dark, and he didn’t even have the strength to stand up.

But at this moment, Pei Xingjian suddenly felt a strong big hand holding him, then helped him up, and then smiled in a familiar voice: "Brother Pei, how do you feel? It will be much better if you vomit completely. I have some hot water here, and you will feel better if you drink it!"

Pei Xingjian reluctantly opened his eyes, and when he saw the young general who was supporting him, he couldn't help but smile weakly and said, "It's a blessing for Brother Liu, but we have trained before, why do we still vomit so much?"

"Haha~, your training is just to make you familiar with life on the boat. It cannot be compared with actually going to sea, so it is worth not to adapt. Let's not talk about you, even General Su is vomiting in the cabin now." The young general named Liu couldn't help but laugh, and also teased Su Dingfang, who commanded this army.

The general named Liu Renyuan is only one word different from Liu Rengui. However, the two are just similar in names and have no relatives. However, in the original history, Liu Renyuan was once Liu Rengui's immediate superior and was appointed as the vassal of the vassal. There were some grudges between the two. However, Liu Renyuan is now just a young general in the navy and does not have much fame.

"I thought you naval traveling by boats must be very relaxed, but I didn't expect that the sea would be so bumpy. Now I feel like my whole body is about to fall apart." Pei Xingjian couldn't help but smile bitterly at this time, then took the water bag in Liu Renyuan's hand and took a few sips. As the hot water was taken, he felt a little numb and felt a little better.

Liu Renyuan was also a post-official official. He studied in Hongwenguan and later served as Li Shimin's personal guard. Because Li Shimin encountered a beast while traveling, Liu Rengui fought with the beast with bare hands in order to protect Li Shimin. This made Li Shimin very appreciative, so he transferred him to the military academy to study. After graduation, he was transferred to the navy. Because the navy was newly built and not as valued as the army, Liu Renyuan's official position was also very high. He had already served as the commander-in-chief at a young age and could lead a fleet independently.

"Haha~, there are no easy errands in the army. Although the storm today is a bit heavy, you have never encountered a storm at sea. The strong wind can almost overturn the entire ship. Sometimes we go out to sea for more than a month, and the water stored on the ship is smelly, but we have to drink it." Liu Renyuan is very generous and laughed loudly at the moment.

Previously, Su Dingfang received an order to lead his army to Dengzhou to prepare for future crossings of the sea. Pei Xingjian also met Liu Renyuan at that time. The two of them had similar ambitions, so they also became friends. Yesterday they finally received the order from Li Shimin to cross the sea and go straight to Pyongyang. It happened that Liu Renyuan was also escorting their fleet, which was considered destined to be together.

When Pei Xingjian heard Liu Renyuan's words, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Speaking of which, the Tang army did look down on the navy. First, the Central Plains have always been dominated by the army, so the navy was not valued much in the past. Second, the navy had just been established and had no outstanding achievements at all, so it was inevitable that it was despised. Even Pei Xingjian used to think that the navy was very relaxed, but until today he realized that the navy was probably even harder than the army.

"Brother Liu, according to your estimate, how long will it take for us to reach the coast near Pyongyang?" Pei Xingjian, with the help of Liu Renyuan, found a wooden barrel on the deck and sat down, and then said again. They had been waiting in Dengzhou for so long and finally waited for the order to rush to Pyongyang. However, the bumps on the sea are so uncomfortable now that he can't even want to go back to the land immediately.

"Originally, at the usual speed, I could reach Pyongyang City in two days, but the current storm is too big, and I have to take care of you. After all, with your current situation, even if you go to land, you will be a group of soft-legged shrimps, so the fleet has slowed down. It is estimated that it will be two days later. If you rest a little longer, you should be able to land!" Liu Renyuan replied immediately. When he said this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of Pyongyang City.
