    Chapter 2062: The Eighth Route Army (Part 1)


    "This is really Xu Wuxian?"


    Gongsun Xuanyuan''s eyes were so wide that he couldn''t believe what he saw.


    The once deserted and birdless Haikou has now become a big harbor. Although it looks a bit simple, it is extremely large in scale.


    Various cargo ships traveled continuously from north to south, transporting countless materials, and then transported them into the warehouse bag by bag, and these workers were all the people who moved from Xu Wu.


    After hearing Xuanyuan''s amazement, Jia Fu explained with a smile: "Of course this is Xu Wu County, but it is not Xu Wu County. The name here is Tianjin County, and the port is Tianjin Port."


    Due to the great war between Qin and Qing on the front line, the entire Xuwu County was transformed into a fortress, and the people were moved to a rear-side port and acted as laborers to help the Qin army transport supplies.


    The laborers carried were not light in weight. Although they were so tired that they were sweating profusely, they still had a smile on their faces.


    Xuanyuan was extremely puzzled about this. After asking, he realized that the Qin army paid wages. Although it was not much, it was the first time in Youzhou that he had worked and paid for money during the war. No wonder Xu Wu''s people were so active.


    Xuanyuan looked at another place and saw that the outline of a city had been built not far from the port.


    "It''s really surprising. In such a short time, the Qin army built such a large harbor in Haikou, Xuwu County, and even the city has been built so many sections..."


    Xuanyuan is not an uninformed local bun. He has been to Bohai Port, the largest port in Hebei. But in terms of scale, Bohai Port is not as good as this Tianjin Port that has just been built.


    If you just transport food and grass by sea, there is no need to build such a harbor, and what does this mean?


    It shows that Qin Hao is determined to win Youzhou, and not only wants to occupy it, but also is preparing to vigorously govern it. The construction of such a large port is to prepare for the future construction of Youzhou.


    In fact, Xuanyuan had long planned to build a harbor here. His political attributes are not low, so he naturally knew that if he wanted to change the barren situation in Youzhou, he had to vigorously develop business.


    After the new seaport is built, commercial development can be driven through maritime commerce, thereby increasing commercial taxes in Youzhou, which is the fastest way for the Liao Kingdom to develop business.


    Tianjin Port is extremely important in geographical location. It connects Youzhou east, west, south, and north, and can radiate to the entire Youzhou area. It is the best location for a new seaport.


    Based on Gongsun Xuanyuan''s understanding of Youzhou, he certainly knew that this place was a treasure land. He had thought about building a harbor here more than once, but he gave up for three reasons.


    First, the Liao Kingdom was too poor and all parties invested a lot. They also had to repair Lulongsai and purchase equipment. There was no extra money for Xuanyuan to use it to build a harbor.


    Second, the location of Tianjin Port is too close to Yan State. Although Yan and Liao were still in an alliance at that time, if they were really built, it would be difficult to guarantee that Yan State would not send troops to rob, and Xuanyuan was unwilling to make wedding dresses for others.


    Third, it was because the Qing Dynasty''s ambition for Youzhou had never been extinguished, and it had been using various small actions to interrupt the development of the Liao Kingdom, making Xuanyuan exhausted from dealing with it and was not interested in anything else.


    Xuanyuan has always known the method of changing Youzhou, but he just couldn''t do it, but he didn''t expect that when he returned to his hometown, Qin Hao had already helped him, and it was so easy.


    Thinking of this, Gongsun Xuanyuan couldn''t help feeling a little guilty towards the people of Youzhou. After all, he was a native of Youzhou, but he did not do much for Youzhou as other people. Looking at this harbor that is still a bit simple but has already become a preliminarily schematic, Gongsun Xuanyuan knew that as long as his trip was successful, Tianjin Port would replace Bohai Port and become the largest port in the northern border in the future, and the people of the entire Youzhou would live a good life because of this port.


    As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xuanyuan became even more determined. This trip was only allowed to succeed and never fail.


    Gongsun Xuanyuan roughly calculated the warships docked in the harbor, which was obviously not enough to install 20,000 troops. He immediately asked Deputy General Zhang Han: "Deputy General Zhang, how long will the Qingzhou navy arrive?"


    "Reported to General Gongsun, before we divided the troops, the lord had already sent a message to Beihai and asked General Zhou Yu to lead the navy to Tianjin Port. However, since the Beihai Naval Army camp was quite far away from here, we were allowed to arrive by land first. However, the itinerary should be within half a day." Zhang Hanhui reported.


    "Um."


    Gongsun Xuanyuan nodded, and was still within his acceptance range for a long time. Now he doesn''t want to delay even a minute or a second.


    Two hours later, the Qingzhou navy arrived at Tianjin Port, several hours a morning before the scheduled time.


    Looking at the fleet listed outside Tianjin Port, Gongsun Xuanyuan couldn''t help but exclaim: "What an elite navy."


    Zhou Yu, who had already arrived ashore in advance, couldn''t help but smile when he heard this: "The current Qingzhou naval army only relies on warships and equipment, and is far behind the southern naval army."


    Zhou Yu''s words are the truth. After all, the Qingzhou Navy has not been trained for half a year since its expansion to the present, so it is naturally impossible to compare with the Southern Navy.


    Gongsun Xuanyuan couldn''t help but twitch when he heard this. He felt that the Qin army''s naval commander was so angry that he was actually planning to compare the northern naval army with the southern naval army.


    Since ancient times, the south ships and the north and the south have their own strengths.


    Want to let the navy in the north compare with the south? It''s like letting the southern cavalry compare to the north.


    One word, it''s too difficult.


    Although Gongsun Xuanyuan disagreed with this, he did not say anything to attack Zhou Yu. In Qin Hao''s words, he still needs to have a dream. What if it is realized?


    Gongsun Xuanyuan was not willing to wait for a moment. As soon as Zhou Yu''s naval army arrived, he immediately asked the soldiers to carry supplies on the ship. However, because there were a lot of types and quantities of supplies, including bows and arrows, crossbows, war horses, food and grass, etc., he still delayed some effort in handling. After all, it was dark, so he had to rest overnight and wait until he went out to sea the next day.


    "General Gongsun, next my Qingzhou naval army will carry your 10,000 troops, cross the sea to Liaodong County, and dock in Pingguo County, so that you can land."


    As he said, Zhou Yu pointed to the location of Pingguo County and said with a serious look on his face: "After the 10,000 army landed, if you want to bypass Liaoxi County and arrive at Lulongsai, you must first go north and then go west to Heishan.


    Only by entering the Heishan boundary can the army go around from the mountainous areas north of western Liaoning to Lulongsai without revealing its whereabouts.


    But for such a long distance, it is absolutely impossible to bypass the Qing army stationed along the way without a definite distribution map of the Qing army. ”
