After saying that, Zhao Weiji opened a curtain hanging on a wall in the study. Behind the curtain was a map of the Song Dynasty and surrounding areas, which was drawn in extremely detailed detail.
This map is a task that Zhao Weiji performed at the same time when he was laying out a money house in the Central Plains. This map was drawn by Zhao Weiji by collecting information in the Central Plains and even surrounding money houses.
The appearance of this map shocked Guo Bailuo and also surprised him very much. With such a map, many strategies can be planned in detail.
Just when Guo Bailuo was in deep thought in front of this map, Zhao Weiji found Wang Dayuan and Tie Zheng, who were still training the army outside. Although they now have similar understanding of the current situation in the Central Plains as Zhao Weiji, they basically have only a few understandings, but they can always come up with good ideas by working together.
When Zhao Weiji found the other two, they found that Guo Bailuo's eyes were staring at a point on the map. Following his gaze, he found that the point he had been staring at was a place on the Shandong Peninsula inside the Bohai Bay. This place was the mouth of the Yellow River, Qingzhou City.
Just after the other three people threw their eyes on the map, Guo Bailuo finally came back to his senses and realized the existence of the three people.
"Ah, you guys are back?"
"Have you disturbed?" Zhao Weiji, who thought that he had interrupted Guo Bailuo's thoughts, quickly apologized: "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, the prince is back. I have already thought of a suitable landing place, that's it." Guo Bailuo pointed his hand at the location of Qingzhou City on the map.
"This location is close to the mouth of the Yellow River. Once we can capture it here, we can take advantage of the convenient conditions of the Yellow River flowing through Bianjing and smoothly arrive along the Yellow River along the Yellow River. During this period, we can also avoid the Khitan troops."
As Guo Bailuo said, if you set out towards Bianjing along the Yellow River, you can indeed avoid the Khitan troops. After all, the Khitans used iron cavalry to civilize the world, but the navy was almost a scumbag.
However, although the Khitan naval army was a slag, Qingzhou City has always been an important port city in the north. Whether it can be captured so easily is still a question of whether it can be completed.
At this time, Tie Zheng raised this question: "Although Mr.'s plan is good, is Qingzhou City so easy to seize? I followed the spies from Zhongyuan to report to the Khitans for not having enough time to capture Qingzhou City. I guess it should be a heavy army to guard it now."
Tie Zheng's question was exactly what Wang Dayuan and Zhao Weiji wanted to ask. Although they now have cannons and even gunboats, if Qingzhou City is under heavy control, it would not be so easy to seize it. It would be impossible to smash the entire city.
Guo Bailuo, who knew that the three of them were eager to know how many defenders there were in Qingzhou City, did not keep in mind any more: "From the information on how many defenders there were in Qingzhou, there should not be too much information about the investigation of the information found by my Guo family.
This is also thanks to Kou Zhun Kou Laoxi, because he defended the city and dragged a large number of Khitan troops under the city of Bianjing, which forced the Khitan troops to draw soldiers from some of the cities that had been captured to continue to reinforce the city of Bianjing.
And a large part of the troops that were drawn were the troops that originally occupied Qingzhou City.”
Hearing Guo Bailuo say this, the other three people suddenly became confident. As long as there were not many troops guarding the city, landing under Qingzhou City was easy. Zhao Weiji's fleet can be said to be invincible in this era. It is almost impossible for the Khitan's Zhazhai Shui Army to intercept him outside the Bohai Bay.
Although there is no problem with the location where you log in, once you log in, it will not be so easy to go upstream along the Yellow River.
All the ships Zhao Weiji now have are all sea ships with huge tonnage, and even if they enter the Yangtze River, it is a bit difficult, let alone rivers like the Yellow River that have silted mud and sand beds above the ground level all year round.
"Shusheng, there is another thing, that is, how can we successfully pass the Yellow River through the Yellow River after we seize Qingzhou? These warships under my command are unable to enter the Yellow River."
Guo Bailuo had seen the sea ships that Zhao Weiji had first developed when he was in Huating County. He just simply thought that Zhao Weiji had transformed the sea ships into warships. He was still wondering that those sea ships were big, but they would not be able to drive into the Yellow River at all.
However, he did not raise any questions, but provided a solution: "Prince, don't worry about this. You'll be done when changing the boats. When I went to sea to find the prince, I stopped a batch of ships in Dengzhou. You can use those."
After hearing Guo Bailuo's words, Zhao Weiji calmed down. Since all the plans were already arranged, it was time to take action. After all, God knows how long Bianjing can last.
...
Three days later, all Zhao Weiji's troops were assembled and asked him to take a boat to sea to prepare for logging in to Qingzhou.
After everyone boarded the ship, Guo Bailuo found that the ship Zhao Weiji was not as big as he said that it could not enter the Yellow River, and it was not even as large as the sea boats he had seen in Huating County.
Just when Guo Bai was full of suspicion, he found that the fleet did not head directly towards Bohai Bay, but stopped next to an island after a day's departure.
After the fleet stopped, Zhao Weiji began to call on all the personnel to get off the ship.
Just when Guo Bailuo couldn't figure out why, Zhao Weiji came over: "Shusheng, prepare for it, let's get off the boat."
This sentence made Guo Bailu confused: "Drop off the boat? Why get off the boat? I have only been leaving for one day."
"This is not the warship we are going to take. We are now preparing to change the ship, and my warship is parked there." While speaking, Zhao Weiji will point to the distance.
Guo Bailuo looked in the direction of Zhao Weiji's finger and saw three giants leading fleets parked in the north of the port.
When Zhao Weiji took Guo Bailuo over, Guo Bailuo discovered that the three ships were not giants, but monsters. For the first time in his life, he saw a ship holding an iron shell floating on the water.
"Prince." Guo Bailuo swallowed: "Is this a ship?"
"Of course." Zhao Weiji pulled Guo Bailuo's hand and took him to the Black Pearl: "Come and see the new warship I invented."
After getting on the boat, Guo Bailuo finally understood what Zhao Weiji said: The warships under my command cannot enter the Yellow River.
