Chapter 610 Jin Chunqiu's Ambition
After Zhou Zhou set sail from the mouth of the Sancha River by boat, he first sailed to Duli Town.

At the beginning, Li Chongjiu handed over the two navy camps in Dengzhou and Duli Town to Liaodong County.

Therefore, the two water camps became the first place for him to take up his new post. Zhou Zhou went straight to Duli Town by sea boat.Zhou Zhou watched from a distance from the ship, but saw a lush green scene on the shore, the calm sea in the bay, and more than a dozen Silla high warships moored on the pier.

Behind the pier is the mountain wood that has just been felled, and the watchtower built has not yet dug out the knots of the new wood, showing traces of freshness.The double wooden wall stands firmly, this sight satisfied Zhou Zhou who came for the second time.

After Zhou Zhou disembarked, Jin Chunqiu, the commander of the Silla Navy who was newly crowned Li Chongjiu on the shore, Gao Ming, the infantry captain of Dulizhen, and a Silla man whom he didn't know came to welcome Zhou Zhou.

Jin Chunqiu and Zhou Zhou are old acquaintances, upon meeting Jin Chunqiu, he said: "Mr. Zhou, seeing you being promoted, as an old friend, I am really happy for you."

Zhou Zhou nodded and said: "General Jin, let's not talk about polite words. When I was patrolling here just now, I saw Goguryeo building a fortress on the shore of the land. What's going on? You just stare blankly. Did you watch Goguryeo build a city here?"

Gao Ming, the infantry captain in charge of defense on the shore, said: "It was repaired by the Goguryeo people a month ago. They not only stationed troops in Shabei City, but also repaired the fortress under our noses. They came to monitor Duli Town. , and secondly, there is also the intention of attacking Duli Town."

Zhou Zhou raised his face when he heard this, and said, "Why didn't you report this to the imperial court as soon as possible! The imperial court will also mobilize troops to strengthen the defense here. If the Goguryeo people build a fort here, how will we be prepared?"

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry, we deliberately let Goguryeo build a fortress here." It was another Silla man who spoke.Zhou Zhou looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"

Jin Chunqiu said: "Mr. Zhou hasn't introduced yet, but this is my Silla Kingdom, the leader of Hwarang's children, Kim Yushin."

Zhou Zhou looked at Jin Yuxin, he knew that there were [-] Silla Hwarang soldiers in the Dazhao Mansion, they were very brave and good at personal fighting skills.And this person is actually the leader of Hwarang's children, obviously very good.

Jin Chunqiu said: "This Lord Jin has become the leader of Hwarang Dao, Guoxian, and he is the most talented man in both civil and military affairs in Silla. Our king heard that the Goguryeo people intend to attack Duli Town, so we sent Lord Jin to lead the army. One hundred Hualang warriors came to destroy them."

After Jin Chunqiu's introduction, Jin Yuxin bowed to Zhou Zhou, and Zhou Zhou returned the salute. Although the other party was a military commander, he was well-mannered and well behaved, just like a son raised by a great lord in the Central Plains.

Jin Yu said: "I have admired Lord Zhou's name for a long time, and Lord Jin mentioned it a lot on weekdays."

Zhou Zhou heard the words and said, "I'm just a scholar. You just said that the fort was built by the Goguryeo people on purpose. What do you mean?"

Jin Chunqiu said: "Gaoguryeo didn't pay attention to our soldiers and horses in Duli Town, and blatantly repaired the city fortress in front of them. Obviously, they were very arrogant because Liaodong was their territory, so when the Goguryeo people built the city, our army first pretended The appearance of fear of war makes them think that we have few soldiers and dare not harass them, and after they are built, they will surprise them and annihilate them in a single battle."

Zhou Zhou heard this and said, "That's right, this is a clever plan."

After the four of them went ashore, Jin Chunqiu held a banquet to welcome Zhou Zhou. There was no shortage of supplies on the island. Ships from Dengzhou came to replenish the military every half a month. The defenders on the island also made a living by fishing in their spare time.Jin Chunqiu entertained Zhouzhou with local specialties. A huge pottery pot was placed on the fire, filled with rice and sea fish with guts and bones removed.

After the rice was stewed, the aroma was everywhere, and everyone in Zhouzhou ate the fish and meat rice with great mouthfuls, it was very delicious.Jin Chunqiu picks up the plane and complains to Zhou Zhou that the place is full of seafood and there are no fresh vegetables, and Zhou Zhou immediately promises to order Dengzhou Shuiying to resolve the matter.
During the meal, Zhou Zhou learned more about the situation in Duli Town. Now there are 300 Zhao Jun infantry in Duli Town, and Gao Ming is the second infantry captain, responsible for the land defense of Duli Town.At sea, there are ten Silla sea ships, ten fast ships, more than a dozen fishing boats, and more than 500 Silla naval forces.In addition to the navy, there are nearly a thousand family members of the soldiers in Duli Town, and three hundred prisoners assigned to Liaodong.And of course Kim Yushin's newly arrived Baekhwarang Samurai.

Now the people have reclaimed the land around Duli Town, and it is expected to harvest in autumn.The entire town of Duli is in a thriving atmosphere, which is completely different from the deserted state when it was first conquered.
Zhou Zhou heard that Jin Yuxin was planning to attack the fortress built by the Goguryeo people, so he immediately decided to watch the battle.Jin Yuxin also intends to show his skills in front of Zhou Zhou and agree immediately, on the condition that Zhou Zhou must obey his command.After a night of preparation, Jin Yuxin led his men and horses to attack the fortress of Goguryeo in a light boat the next day.

Jin Yuxin led ten fast boats and quietly sailed away from Duli Town. Except for the hundred Silla navy soldiers who took over the boats, only one hundred Hwarang warriors actually attacked the fortress.In the night sky, meteors streaked across the endless sky. Zhou Zhou sat in the boat, looking at the starry sky, his body undulating with the waves, sea water splashed on him from time to time, his mouth and nose were full of salty taste.

The Xinluo soldiers around Zhouzhou were full of mouthpieces, waving their oars and slapping the sea surface again and again, the sea was still calm.Zhou Zhou remembered that he was with Jin Chunqiu and the others when he crossed the river and attacked at night last time.

Silla soldiers chose a shoal and began to disembark, and Kim Yu-shin jumped off the boat immediately. Zhou Zhou saw that the front of the shoal was the cliff behind the fortress mountain built by the Goguryeo people.Jin Yuxin pondered for a while. In Zhou Zhou's eyes, this Silla general who was less than 30 years old had the aura of a general in every gesture, which made Zhou Zhou think of Xue Wanche, the general of the Zhao army. They have many similarities.

But when Jin Yuxin waved his hand, Hwarang soldiers began to climb up the cliff.

"Master Zhou, please watch this good show here."

Facing Jin Yuxin's exhortation, Zhou Zhou said: "I wish the general every success."

Jin Yuxin nodded and melted into the night, Zhou Zhou raised his head and saw Silla soldiers climbing up the rock along the rope.

Zhou Zhou's entourage at the side said: "My lord, this Silla man has a big tone."

Zhou Zhou reprimanded, "This is called self-confidence. This person should not be underestimated. He will definitely be a great general of Silla people in the future."

While speaking, many Silla soldiers had already climbed the ten-foot-high cliff, and the city fortress had already started to fight.

Zhou Zhou couldn't help being surprised and said, "It's so fast."

In the darkness, Zhou Zhou couldn't see the battle situation in the fortress clearly, he only heard one or two screams occasionally, and after about half an hour, cheers came from the fortress.

Zhou Zhou said happily: "I got it, let's go!"

At present, Zhou Zhou and several attendants walked around the cliff and walked into the Goguryeo fortress from the main road.

The Goguryeo people built this fortress with great care. There are inner and outer walls, which are built with the unique stone-laying method of the Goguryeo people.There are also double attics in the inner base. Zhou Zhou walked all the way, and the corpses of Goguryeo people were strewn all over the city road.

The Koguryo soldiers resisted so bravely that Zhou Zhou could clearly see that they all fell face forward.Zhou Zhou saw that blood was smeared on the ground under his feet. Many people had no time to put on their armor in the chaos, and they were all killed by a single knife, very simply.Silla's Hwarang soldiers were really elite. Although it can be seen that they also suffered some casualties, they still took down the fort in one go.

In front of the tower, Zhou Zhou saw Jin Yuxin holding a blood-stained sword in his hand. After asking a Goguryeo prisoner a few words, the soldiers beside him chopped off the opponent's head.

Seeing Zhou Zhou approaching, Jin Yuxin said to him, "The city general committed suicide. He killed his own woman and then committed suicide. It's a pity that he didn't fight him and cut off his head with his own hands. The rest of us were killed by us. When we jumped off the cliff, most people were still sleeping, and we would have hacked to death more than [-] people on their beds, otherwise we would not have won so easily."

Zhou Zhou said: "It doesn't matter, the important thing is that the city has been captured. I don't think the reinforcements from Shabei City will arrive so soon. Even if they arrive, we are not afraid of him. We can count and seize them first."

Jin Yu said: "Okay, that's exactly what it should be. We know the rules, how about a [-]/[-] split with your Zhao army?"

Zhou Zhou said with a smile: "No, you Silla people fought this battle. Just transport all the supplies back to Duli Town. But I think the Goguryeo people have done a good job in this city. It's a pity to abandon it. I think as long as 100 men are enough to stand here against a thousand troops."

Jin Yuxin said happily: "Lord Zhou, it really coincides with me. This city is built on the back of a mountain, and the terrain is dangerous. As long as the outer wall of the cliff is raised a little higher, it can guard against a surprise attack like ours tonight. The most important thing is this A fortress can exchange horns with Duli Town, so our defense in Duli Town will be stronger."

Zhou Zhou nodded and said, "You are really insightful. As long as you can defend, I have no objection. After returning to Liaodong County, I will transfer another 200 people to strengthen the defense of Duli Town."

After hearing this, Jin Yuxin said happily: "That's great, you don't know Prince Jin, how much you want to make contributions here."

Zhou Zhou recalled the time when he was with Jin Chunqiu in the past, and knew that this person was ambitious, so he asked knowingly, "What's wrong with Prince Jin?"

Jin Yuxin looked at Zhou Zhou and said honestly: "Our king's health is about to die. According to the tradition of our Silla people, only those with the blood of the holy bone can inherit the throne. The king has no heirs. According to this, only the eldest princess can succeed in the future. And the eldest princess She is the adoptive mother of Prince Jin. As far as I know, the eldest princess has never advocated the continuation of the war with Goguryeo, but hopes for peace. Of course, this is contrary to the views of Prince Jin and my subordinates."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhou pondered, if Silla negotiated peace with Goguryeo, then Liaodong would face the pressure of Goguryeo alone without Silla holding back the Goguryeo people.

At the moment Zhou Zhou said: "Prince Jin is highly valued by His Majesty, and is also a friend of His Majesty. If he intends to make contributions and gain a higher position in Silla, not only I, but also His Majesty Zhao will be happy to see him succeed."
