"Baoqing?" Cao Tianchengnian held the place name in his mouth, obviously he had no idea about it. Changyang County is also an extremely poor county in Yue State, and Baoqing is more in a more remote position. How could the dignified Emperor of Qi pay attention to such a place? Therefore, his eyes were staring at Shu Hui. He knew very well that since Shu Hui brought this question to him, of course he had done the corresponding homework.

"There is a military port in Baoqing. It was established when Emperor Li Qing vigorously promoted foreign trade in the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. It was mainly to attack pirates and protect merchant ships. Because it was not a civilian port, the world did not know much. Later, as the pirates were almost wiped out by the Tang navy, the port gradually became idle. By the end of the Tang Dynasty, it had been completely abandoned." Shu Hui explained. "I got this news and after returning to Chang'an, I also plunged into the National History Museum. More than a dozen people searched for several days to find out the old case files."

Cao Tiancheng frowned: "The former military port? What size warship can it dock with the largest warship?"

"Your Majesty, you can dock large warships." Shu Hui said: "The size of the Chu people's warship described by the information coming from there is indeed the main warship of the Chu people."

After a moment of silence, Cao Tiancheng suddenly burst into laughter.

"Min Ruoying looks like she can't underestimate it now." He shook his head and said, "It seems that it has taken a lot of effort to actually play such a move. I think this guy has been trying hard to defeat my Daqi over the years. Even such a abandoned military port can be pulled out of the garbage dump. I admire him."

"But since we know it, it will be difficult for him to succeed." Shu Hui said.

Cao Tiancheng looked at Shu Hui, "This is not necessarily the case. You have to know that the Chu people's strength is actually stronger than ours at sea." He scratched his head with some distress and said, "This is a big defeat for the old man. He thought of winning on land with great strength. But no matter how powerful we are in the Chu-Qinyue Three Kingdoms Alliance, we cannot defeat their coalition forces. The maritime power is in his hands, and the combat power has dropped sharply. I can't see it. But Xiao Huizi, since the old man's era, the strength of the army has increased greatly and has long occupied the power of our army. It is not easy to develop a navy. I have tried my best to rebuild a fleet."

Shu Hui shut up and said nothing. The old man in the emperor's mouth was the late emperor. The emperor could be so disrespectful, but he dared not. He could only put on a gourd with a sawed mouth.

"Min Wei is much smarter. He knows that the land cannot beat us, so he focuses on building a navy. At that time, we still have generals who mocked Chu for preparing for a great escape from the sea. Humph, it's really a frog that goes into the bottom. Min Ruoying took over these inheritances from Min Wei, and now it's our turn to feel uncomfortable." Cao Tiancheng shook his head.

"Your Majesty, we must not allow them to increase their troops to Baoqing without restrictions. We must fight back." Shu Hui said.

Cao Tiancheng shook his head: "How do you know this is not another conspiracy of the Chu people?" He looked at Shu Hui, his eyes shining. "The Chu people have strong sea power, and our sea power has fallen. Compared with the two, even if we are relatively large, if we go to war with each other, we will not take any advantage. Because the Chu people's sailors are more skilled in water warfare."

"Your Majesty is suspicious that the Chu people want to lure us to fight them first at sea?" Shu Hui suddenly realized.

"Why is there no such possibility?" Cao Tiancheng nodded and said, "It is certain that they can't beat the land power. Otherwise, with Luo Liang's personality of fighting for instant benefits, he could still hold back after taking office as the commander of the eastern border army of Chu. There is no such thing as small-scale conflicts and large-scale wars, because they know very well that if they start a war like this, they will definitely lose. But if it is at sea, it may not be necessary. If we lose at sea first, then we will be passive."

Speaking of this, Shu Hui was powerless. This involved the military layout at the national level over the past few decades. The current Qi navy still had enough strength to protect the soil in close combat, but it would not work in the ocean. If he went out to sea on a large scale and fell into the Chu army trap and was annihilated by the Chu people in the ocean, then the long coast of Qi would be everywhere. At that time, Qi was really defeated.

This is a dilemma. If you dare not go to sea to intercept the Chu warships, you can only let the Chu people increase their troops towards Baoqing. This is also a big trouble for Qi.

"If I had known this, I should have taken down Yue State in one go, and I should not have left them to take this breath!" He said fiercely.

Cao Tiancheng laughed: "That's so simple. If we really want to destroy Yue Kingdom in one go, let alone the Yue Kingdom is really at the last moment, we will definitely fight to the death with us. Just say that we really destroy Yue Kingdom. How many years will it take for us to completely rule Yue Kingdom? But Yue Kingdom is gone, and Qin Chu's lips are dead and teeth are cold. We will definitely join hands. At that time, on the one hand, we must maintain a large number of troops in Yue Kingdom to maintain rule, and on the other hand, we must start a war against Qin Chu at the same time on both battlefields. How can we determine the outcome? Although there is trouble with Baoqing now, at least, Yue Kingdom has restrained a large number of Qin's border troops for us, so that we can concentrate on dealing with Chu. If we get something, we will definitely give. This is the truth. How can we achieve perfect things in the world?"

"Then your majesty, what should we do now?" Shu Hui said with some distress.

Cao Tiancheng suddenly laughed, "This is also an opportunity for us. For Daqi, retreating at sea this time is a great humiliation. To change this situation, we must strengthen the power of the navy. I believe that with this matter, strengthening the navy will no longer be too hindered by the dynasty. The army is too strong and cannot fly to the sea to fight, right? This is the fact that we have changed the fact that our amphibious and land divisions are a stumbling duck."

"But there on Baoqing?" Shu Hui could not keep up with Cao Tiancheng's concerns at all. "If the Chu army was allowed to increase troops there, it would be a problem in the future, right?"

"Don't you have friends wherever you are?" Cao Tiancheng laughed and said, "The leader of the Taiping Army named Li Feng is a very interesting person. He has now controlled Shayang County. Liu Qiutian's thousand-year-old fox is convinced. It's great! Have you done a detailed investigation of this person?"

"This person suddenly appeared in Yanshan, and there were a group of loyal subordinates. He should not be old and would not cross over thirty. However, he was a level nine master. After checking forward, there was no clue at all." Shu Hui said: "More importantly, this person is ambitious and may not be easy to control."

"A level 9 master who is less than 30 years old, ha, he really has a bright future. No wonder he is ambitious. But we, Daqi, have never been afraid of someone being ambitious. Xiao Huizi, aren't you ambitious? What's important is whether you can control these ambitious people."

"Does Your Majesty want to use this person to curb the expansion of the Chu army in Changyang County?" Shu Hui asked.

"The people of Yue cannot count on it. They are doing their best to restrain the Qin army now. The old fox Liu, who has tolerated the past, is now entrenched in Shayang County. After being destroyed by 5,000 Tiger Ben Army, they have to endure the anger and recruit Moluo. The title of Moluo as the governor of Changyang County is a proof of their exhaustion of national strength." Cao Tianmin knocked on the white jade face in front of him and said.

"Your Majesty said very much."

"We cannot send troops to Shayang directly, because this will conflict with Li Feng, which will force him to unite with Moro, and even the Chu army. Therefore, we can only learn from the Chu people, stand behind Li Feng, give him support, and let him solve this problem for us."

"But according to my understanding of the Taiping Army, they will never tolerate us sending people into their system." Shu Hui pondered: "The Taiping Army led by Li Feng has a strict system. In my opinion, although they were born as bandits, they were more like an army. This is also the place where I am confused."

"It doesn't matter!" Cao Tiancheng waved his hand and said, "You can let him fight first. If he can't do it, he will naturally ask us for help. At that time, it will be natural to send troops to send people there. Didn't you give Li Feng the title of a third-level general in the Ministry of War? After going down, tell the Ministry of War that Li Feng will be promoted to a second-level."

"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be made public for the time being. Li Feng has now accepted the regular army organization of Yue State. Speaking of which, he is still a senior officer of Yue State?" Shu Hui said a little embarrassedly.

"That's it! This Li Feng is really interesting, please inform him!" Cao Tiancheng smiled, "Then you should do this with your own tricks. In short, let Li Feng know that I, the Emperor of Qi, likes him very much and attaches great importance to him. As long as he can destroy Moro, what do you want and what you want."

Shu Hui nodded: "Your Majesty, I understand. But Your Majesty, I am a little worried. If Li Feng really succeeds, defeats Moro and takes over Baoqing, his power will be quite large, and it will be a bit difficult to control him at that time."

"Other words, don't be afraid of your subordinates being highly capable. I want to ask if you have the power to control these capable subordinates!" He leaned forward and smiled and said, "Even if Li Feng controls Changyang and Shayang, his power has increased greatly. On land, does he have the capital to fight with us? Of course, there is no good birds choose wood to live in. At that time, he will make the right choice."

"Your Majesty is very talented and can naturally ignore such things, but I dare not ignore them." Shu Hui said with a smile.

"It's good to be careful, but I'll shrink my hands and feet because I'm careful. I don't dare to do this, and I'll also worry about the consequences. I'll be no longer a person who does big things." Cao Tiancheng shook his head and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, then, if you support the Taiping Army next, go from the ghost side, the fewer people who know about this, the better."
