In March, the sea surface is calm,

A mixed fleet of nearly two to three hundred warships and merchant ships is currently marching on the sea surface of the Bohai Sea.

The distance from the Liaodong Peninsula to the Jimo Peninsula, and from Hejian County to the Jimo Peninsula is not long if you take sea routes. It is probably more than 100 kilometers, which is much closer than land routes.

At this time, if the warships built by Yan State were at the best of the wind, there would be no problem with the morning and evening.

General Shi Yong of Yan State was riding on the fleet's flagship "Xiangping", which was a little bigger than other ships.

The number of people can reach a thousand people at full capacity, but now, this warship carries more soldiers.

Shi Yong stood in front of the deck of Xiangping, and from time to time he raised his telescope to look into the distance.

After so many years of war and tempering in Liao, Shi Yong's temperament has changed a lot compared to when he first went to Liao with Ji Kang. Although his figure is medium, his whole body looks like a sharp and mighty look.

When the Seventh Army and the Ninth Army landed from Lushun Port last night, they were already informed by the commander Lejian in advance that the destination of the army boarding the ship at Lushun Port is Donglai Port on the eastern coast of Qi.

Inside the telescope, in front of the fleet, a clutch with the red phoenix flag of Yan Kingdom appeared.

The deputy general next to Shi Yong couldn't help but say to himself: "This is..."

The warship in front of the fleet was identified by flags and was known to be the official sent by the main general Yuejian.

After a while, a major came down from the Clippers near the flagship.

After boarding the flagship, the major came to Shi Yong and knelt on one knee to report:

"Report to the general, the chief general Lejian ordered me to seventh, and the ninth army rushed to Donglai Port as soon as possible. Donglai Doctor Tian Zhao did not surrender clearly. Our army is preparing to attack Donglai City today. This is the order of the chief general, please check it out."

After seeing the military orders of the chief general Lejian, Shi Yong said to the major:

"Major, thank you for your hard work. You go down and rest first and go to Donglai Port with the army."

"promise."

Then Shi Yong said to the deputy general:

"Order the fleet to accelerate and try to arrive at Donglai Port as early as possible. It is best that our army can catch up with the Battle of Donglai."

The deputy general bowed and replied, "Abide by the order."

After Lejian arrived in Donglai City, the first thing he did was to send Shi Gan and Zhang Tian to lead the vanguard troops to capture Donglai Port.

Donglai Port is located on the west side of Donglai City. The harbor has good natural conditions. There is a barrier of Liandao natural sand dam, which is eight kilometers long from east to west, and a golden sand beach in the south. It is surrounded by neither freezing nor silting, and is not afraid of bad weather. The average annual tide difference is less than one meter.

Donglai Port is a big port in Qi State, and the port conditions are much better than Penglai Port.

After occupying Donglai Port, Yan's support army could continue to support the East Route Army from Liaodong and even Hejian.

In the planning of the Eastern Army's chief general Lejian, Donglai City is the top priority. This city is to serve as a hoarding place for the Yan army's eastern army, rear troops, food and grass, military capital, etc., and it is also a base for supporting the front army.

Donglai City, also known as Fengyi, was originally the capital of "Lai Kingdom".

After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Ziya was enfeoffed in Yingqiu, which is Linzi.

Shi Yun: "The Marquis Lai came to attack and fought with him to fight for the camp of the hill."

In the early Zhou Dynasty, Lai State was very powerful. The fact that "Lai forced Yingqiu" oppressed the monarch of Qi, Jiang Taigong, who had outstanding military achievements in the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, had to make the decision to move the capital.

After hearing the Yan army's call, Tian Zhao's face became paler as time went by.

When he saw the Yan army's catapult cart again and was about to start loading stones, he said to the officials beside him:

"For the sake of the whole city's Guizhou leader, you'll be reduced... you'll be reduced!"

At night, after Shi Yong led the Seventh and Ninth Army to Donglai Port, he had learned that the Yan army had entered the city.

Shi Yong was very sorry! He didn't catch up with this battle.

After asking about the situation, Shi Yong couldn't help but mutter: "Why didn't Qi army resist? You're so cowardly!"

The deputy general beside him hurriedly whispered to Shi Yong: "General, be careful! You... your words will arouse public anger!"

March 19, the third year of King Xiao of Yan.

Donglai Doctor Tian Zhao surrendered without fighting, and the Yan army successfully occupied Donglai City and controlled Donglai Port.

After a day of rest, Lejian handed over Donglai City to the official of the Ministry of Personnel who came with Shi Yong.

Navy general Li Min led the Second Navy Army to station in Donglai and Penglai.

It also maintains the maritime access between Jimo Peninsula, Liaodong and Hebei.

Major General Shi Gan and Zhang Tian led the Second Navy Army to advance towards Changyang County in the east (now west of Chengdong Village, the garrison of Wendeng Songcun Town, Weihai City, Shandong Province).
