Kai Fu Han

Chapter 514 Searching mountains and seas

The guards escorted Wanyan Zongbi in.

I saw Wanyan Zongbi wearing the clothes of an ordinary Jin soldier, his hair disheveled, his whole body dirty, and only his face was clean.

Although he looked embarrassed, his temperament was not what a soldier should have.And although he has a strong body, his skin is much better than that of Xiao Bing, and it is not the skin type that a low-level soldier who has been exposed to wind and rain for a long time should have.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Liu Xinqi walked up to him and greeted him, without letting anyone loosen his bonds.

"Hmph!" Wanyan Zongbi snorted and ignored him.

"Take it down to have a look, confirm again, and deal with it after the war is over." Liu Xinqi did not talk to him much.

His defeated general was a foreigner, and his hands were filled with the blood of Han people. He could only have one ending.

Until noon, there was no news about Wanyan Zongjun.

"This Wanyan Zongjun is really experienced in escaping. After such a vigorous search, he has not been caught yet." Xu Zhong sighed.

Xu Zhong came to the Chinese army's tent at Chenshi and sat in the center to direct all the troops to search for Wanyan Zongbi.

"Is it possible that Wanyan Zongjun ran towards the east?" Liu Xinqi guessed.

The ideas of smart people are very strange and difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Maybe Wanyan Zongjun thought: "The most dangerous place is the safest place."

"It's possible." Xu Zhong immediately made adjustments and arranged for some people to search eastward.

In the past, we mainly searched in the west and north, and then we also sent people to the south. Now including the east, no one has been missed.

"After you let Yan Zongjun successfully cross Hebei and return to the north last time, did you investigate how Yan Zongjun crossed the blockade of Di Ting?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"No, the number of people listening is too small to constitute a blockade at all. As long as we don't follow the official route, it will be too easy to cross the border." Xu Zhong replied.

Liu Xinqi understood that he was overthinking it.

With the current level of technological development, blockade is simply not possible.

Just like the arrest of Wanyan Zongjun this time, the longer time goes by, the less likely it is to catch him.Because the search has been completed in the near area, and the range is too large if you go further.

At the time of application, a spy came in to report.

"A villager in Guozhuang, Haishan County reported that someone held two fishermen in the village hostage with money and a knife, and took the village's fishing boat out to sea."

"Send someone to notify the navy and ask them to send ships to search the Bohai Sea. Send an order to the Eagle's Nest and send the golden eagle at home to Cangzhou to assist the navy in searching the sea." Liu Xinqi arranged.

"Okay." Xu Zhong responded.

"Don't relax in the other three directions. This person may not be Wanyan Zongjun." Liu Xinqi reminded.

"understandable."

At the time of You, twenty golden eagles flew from Penglai. Because of the darkness, these golden eagles all landed in Qingchi County to rest.

The next day, the [-]th day of the first lunar month, at dawn, twenty golden eagles flew eastward to help the navy search for suspicious fishing boats at sea.

With the flying units, the navy's search progress has been greatly accelerated on the vast sea.

On land, the searching scouts had already crossed paths with Liu Zhijie.

"Wanyan Zongjun can still go to heaven and earth." Zhao Yinghao was a little angry.

He was left in Qingchi County and was responsible for the recovery of Nanpi County, Laoling County, Zhangzhou and Dezhou in Cangzhou south of Qingchi County.

The fifth brigade is responsible for the recovery of Yongjing Army and Hejian Mansion in the west.

The Eighth Brigade supported Liu Zhijie on his back and completed the recovery of Mozhou, Xiongzhou, Baoding Army, Xin'an Army, Qingzhou and northern Cangzhou as soon as possible.

After the tasks of these three route armies are completed, the second phase of the Bohai Rim Strategy can begin.The war is now progressing, and Sun Li, who is making the fastest progress, has recovered all the county towns on the north and south banks of Jihe River, Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road.

Liu Xinqi had already sent a message to Sun Li on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, asking him to go to the west to support Wunan. After defeating the puppet Qi army, he could directly enter Daming Mansion and regain the Hebei East Road Prefecture.

The thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Chen hour.

"Report!" A joyful voice came from outside the tent.

"Come in."

Liu Xinqi was reviewing documents in his account. They were brought from Penglai and had been backlogged for more than half a month.Most of these official documents have been processed and are just for Liu Xin to read.

"Report, the Navy's First Fleet captured Wanyan Zongjun in the northern waters of the Bohai Sea."

"Okay!" Liu Xinqi couldn't help but stood up and said in surprise: "Good news!"

"Where is this person?"

"He is being escorted back to Cangzhou by the navy. He plans to enter from Yangfu River and be sent to Qingchi County."

"No, I'm going to the mouth of the Yangfu River." Liu Xinqi packed up the official documents on the desk.

It was already planned to go to the sea. The main direction of the next Bohai Rim strategy will be the northern Bohai Sea and the Liaodong Peninsula. It is useless to stay in Qingchi.

In this battle of Cangzhou, 11 Jin troops and 13 civilians were finally captured.

The civilian husbands will be disbanded on the spot, and they will go back to their respective homes. The 11 Jinjun will be escorted back to Penglai and sent to a labor camp. After the training is almost done, they will be sent to various places step by step to build roads and houses.

After going out, Liu Xinqi led the guard platoon, rode directly forward, and rushed to Yangfu River at high speed.

Inland river boats have been prepared on the pier by the river. After Liu Xinqi got on the boat, the boat began to float downstream with the current, much faster than riding a horse on land, and there was no need to worry about horsepower.

It took more than two hours to travel the two hundred miles of waterway. It was almost late and we finally saw the entrance to the sea.

There is a big ship waiting on the sea.

The inland river boat directly docked with the largest ship "Huangshan"

"Alliance leader!" Zhao Liang stepped forward to say hello.

"Where's the Tarzan?"

The Taishan is the flagship of the First Fleet. As the captain of the fleet, Zhao Liang should be on the flagship.

"Entered Baishiwan Dock to refit." Zhao Liang replied.

After a few polite words, Liu Xinqi asked: "Where is Wanyan Zongjun?"

"Come with me please."

The two walked down the main deck and came to a cabin below the deck. There were soldiers guarding the door.

The soldier saw Liu Xinqi coming and quickly opened the hatch.

Liu Xinqi walked into the cabin. It was very small inside, with a very small window on the wall. There was a person sitting in front of the window. Looking at his back, he knew that this was Wanyan Zongjun.

"We meet again." Liu Xinqi greeted.

"I don't want to meet in this way." Wanyan Zongjun turned around and replied helplessly.

"Can you tell me how you persuaded Emperor Tongjin to lead troops south to take revenge?" Liu Xinqi asked curiously.

"It's a long story..." Wanyan Zongjun did not resist. The two of them were already very familiar with each other despite their enemies' identities.

It turns out that after Wanyan Zongjun returned to the north, Wanyan Zongjun's uncle Jintianhui Emperor Wanyan Sheng invited him to talk and learned all about his journey south. Finally, he temporarily put aside his guilt of being captured and relied on his understanding of the Xinghan Alliance. With the advantage, let him go south to help the two of them deal with the Xinghan Alliance.
