Kai Fu Han

Chapter 126 News
After ensuring that there were no more organized resistance forces in the port, 400 naval officers and soldiers on the second fleet were also organized to disembark to assist in the operation.

In this era, there is no way to truly and accurately distinguish Han people. Liu Xinqi stipulated before departure that as long as he could speak Chinese fluently and considered himself to be Han, he would be recognized as Han and could preserve his family property.However, they must move to Dengzhou with the attacking troops.

Standing on the port, he watched Han people dragging their families and carrying large and small bags onto the ship from time to time. The captured people of the Jin Kingdom, whose hands were tied and who were only on board the ship, were escorted past him one after another.

Liu Xinqi suddenly lost interest.

In essence, this land belongs to the Han people, but the Jin Kingdom is the Liaodong Peninsula that was snatched from the Liao Kingdom, so in the eyes of the people of the Jin Kingdom, he is an out-and-out invader.

An infantry soldier came over and asked Liu Xinqi if he wanted to follow the troops to Bojia Village, but Liu Xinqi refused.

With the current infantry combat power of the Xinghan League, they could only achieve a complete victory against a village composed of ordinary people. Going there was just another scene of robbery. Liu Xinqi did not intend to watch it again, lest his condition affect the morale of the soldiers below.

After returning to the ship, Liu Xinqi picked up a copy of "Mencius" and started reading.

Liu Xinqi can actually recite the contents of this book fluently, but he will still read it again every once in a while, and he will gain something different every time.

I'm so distracted right now that I'm reading just to calm my mind.

After staying at "Abalone Terrace" for two days, the second fleet's own four cargo ships and the six auxiliary cargo ships that followed the fleet had returned with full loads, and came again to fill the ships and return to Dengzhou.

Liujia Village, Guojia Village, Bojia Village, and Chenjia Village around Baoyutai have been basically raided. Hundreds of clever people escaped, more than 600 Han people were rescued, and thousands of Jin people were captured.

After the last transport ship set sail again, the second fleet abandoned the empty "Abalone Platform" and continued heading north.

In the next three days, they continued to loot five villages around "Muddy Waters Bay" on the north side of Abalone Taipei.

……

On June 26, the fleet was preparing to continue heading north and attack the villages near the coast in the "Shan Hu Tsui" area. The transport ship returning from the rear brought an intelligence officer, who brought bad news.

"Three days after the fleet that attacked the Liaodong Peninsula set off, on June 23, the three counties of Huangxian (west of Penglai), Muping (southeast of Penglai), and Wendeng (southeast of Muping) in Dengzhou, and the two counties of Laizhou and Yexian in Laizhou, arrived in the city. The officers and soldiers began to mobilize, and then set off one after another towards Penglai."

"Huang County is the closest, but it did not act without authorization. It stopped on the west bank of Huangshui (a river west of Laizhou, flowing from south to north into the Bohai Sea), waiting for troops from other counties to gather."

After the intelligence officer finished speaking, Liu Xinqi asked:
"You set out on the 25th? How many counties had troops gathered in Huangshui when you set out?"

"Yes, I set off on the 25th. When I set off, the troops from these five counties had not yet assembled. There was still only one army from Huang County on the west bank of the Yellow River. The furthest Wendeng County troops should still be five or six days away. However, Yexian, Laiyang and Mouping are basically the same distance from Penglai, only 130 to 150 miles. It seems that the forces of the four counties should have converged today.

"How many troops are there?" Liu Xinqi asked again.

"Due to being mobilized by Jinan Puppet Qi once before, there are currently not many troops left in each county. The spies found that Huangxian, Mouping and Laiyang each only have 500 troops. Wendeng is far away, and there was no exact troop strength when I set off. The news is pretty close if you think about it. Ye County is Fuguo County in Laizhou, and more than [-] people were dispatched."

"There are more than 700 people in total, close to 5000. If the remaining resistance forces in Penglai County join in by then, there will definitely be more than [-] people." Liu Xinqi calculated.

Then he asked suspiciously: "Why can they be so united? Is it an order from Pseudo-Qi?"

Before anyone could answer, he denied it himself.

"It shouldn't be. Jinan is thousands of miles away from Dengzhou, so the news shouldn't be transmitted so quickly." "I know why." Cui Wu said next to him.

"Why?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"It's because of the "Debt Law of the Xinghan League" and the "Land Law of the Xinghan League", Cui Wu replied.

Just now, Liu Xinqi "didn't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because he was in this mountain." Cui Wu understood this in an instant.

The "Xinghan League Debt Law" and the "Xinghan League Land Law" are deadly contagious viruses for the current gentry and landlord class. Anyone who is infected will definitely have no cure.

This is related to the fundamental interests of this class, and it is something that breaks the rules, and the Xinghan Alliance that created this thing is naturally the common mortal enemy of everyone.

In order to nip the Xinghan League in the bud, the five counties near Penglai easily formed an alliance. When the main force of the Xinghan League attacked the Liaodong Peninsula, they planned to take a retreat and capture Penglai County.

"That's not right. Penglai Peninsula is only one day away from Dengzhou by sea. We have time to return to defense. By then, their troops will no longer have the advantage, and their efforts will be in vain." Liu Xinqi said: "Could they still be there? What’s the backup plan?”

Think about the various forces around you and eliminate them one by one.

First of all, Goryeo and Dongwa were excluded because the distance was too far, the information transmission was not smooth, and it was impossible for them to participate in the power struggle of Zhao State.

Excluding the Jin State East Route Army that attacked Zhao, this direction is the focus of listening, probing and monitoring and cannot be missed.

The Puppet Qi and Jin Kingdom base camps are also impossible, they are too far away.

The Liaodong Peninsula is being suppressed and attacked by the Xinghan Alliance navy.

In the end, only the navy of Jin Dynasty was left.

"Ye Chuan, is there any movement in the Navy of the Kingdom of Jin?" Liu Xinqi asked Ye Chuan.

"The latest news yesterday is that there were signs of frequent personnel gathering and mobilization at Jinxi Port on the 24th, but no ships have been dispatched yet."

"It's impossible for these gentry to be so stupid, to do this kind of thing that hits a stone with eggs. Moths to the flame? Desperate?" Liu Xinqi said to himself.

"It's possible that they don't know that we have immortal soldiers and generals, or they don't know our current military strength. So they think that 5000 people can win against us."

The Xinghan League currently has a total naval and infantry strength of nearly 8000 people.

"No, three days after we set off, they were able to launch it at the same time, which means they must have spies in Penglai, and they had already formed an alliance and had a plan before. We had previously conducted a grand spell-casting ceremony at Penglai port, so they would not I didn’t know that we have a total strength of nearly 8000 people." Liu Xinqi denied.

"Report!!!" Just as he was talking, a shout came from outside.

"Come in!" Ye Chuan replied.
