After a long voyage, the huge fleet finally arrived at the mouth of the Haihe River in early July. The upper reaches of this river originated from the Taihang Mountains, passed through Yanshan Prefecture, and flowed into the Bohai Sea to the southwest.

The estuary of the sea is like a T-shaped character, with a small bend, which is much narrower than the estuary of the river, and there is no strange scene of distinct colors. After so many days, everyone has become accustomed to living at sea.

Originally, they would have walked much faster than land troops and had already entered the river from the sea, but the prince repeatedly told him that he had to go through water and put pressure on both ends, and that he would not enter the river before the fifth day of the July 2018.

So they floated on the Bohai Sea for a few days, and they didn't get close to the estuary until almost the time was about to come.

With a command, the messenger began to sing flags on the bow of the ship, and then the ship began to change its formation and changed to a one-line long dragon formation. The two firepower ships were brave generals Qi Rui and the female general Qi Fang.

Eight troop ships followed, and two transport ships were at the end.

The whole process took about half an hour. After it was completely adjusted, the fleet began to officially enter the Haihe River Basin and go upstream.

The mighty army entered the territory of the Liao Kingdom, and the soldiers on the ship became nervous. Di Zhi's command ship was on the Qi Rui, a brave general in front of the fleet, and could see the situation on the shore most clearly.

There are many villages on both sides of the estuary, but due to the war that lasted for two years, it has been completely abandoned and there are basically no people.

The two firecraft, each twenty-four cannon, totaling forty-eight. After each firing ship, the gunners were ready, and the messengers stood on the stairs on the first and second decks. As long as he gave the order, he would convey the order as soon as possible.

Di Zhi was very clear about the power of the cannon, so even he was a little unimaginable about the power of the twenty-four cannons firing at the same time.

But the prince told him that the prince's mansion could build a warship of forty-eight or even eighty cannons in the future, and he couldn't even think about what kind of ship it would be?

The huge fleet was very fast, and water transportation had a natural advantage. It quickly went north along the Haihe River, passed through the village at the entrance of the sea, and entered a large unmanned area.

Both sides of the strait are vast plains. As the prince said, such a vision environment is a very good place for the gunners!

They sailed northwest along the river water for about several hours. After a while, they finally met the first village still living on the shore, and there were still many people coming and going.

After seeing the huge fleet with the flag of the Jingguo, he was immediately frightened and ran away.

Three or five of them rode on horses and ran north, obviously to inform the news.

Yan Shen pointed to the Liao people riding a horse and said, "Do you want to make them bigger?"

Di Zhi shook his head: "No, the boat is so big, there are plains everywhere, and we can be seen across more than ten miles. Anyway, they will know, tell your brothers to prepare, we have a war to fight!"

......

The emperor's condition gradually improved and he was able to get out of bed and walk around. However, after this disease, his energy was not as good as before. Concubine Tian accompanied him and helped him walk around the imperial garden to recover.

"What is the queen doing recently?" asked the emperor.

"The Empress is eating vegetarian food for the emperor and chanting Buddha's name, praying for the Bodhisattva to give the emperor peace." Concubine Tian said.

The emperor shook his head: "I don't know her yet. What is praying for blessings and chanting Buddha's name? She is just angry with me. I am angry with me and let Sin-Chu go to the north to fight a war, or to fight a war that I can't win."

Wang Yue sighed and said nothing for a long time, "I thought I would have a few more days of peace before I reported to Beijing."
