The monk, whose original name was Gao Tao, was a member of the 300,000 Sui army who marched with Zhong Wen in Liao Dynasty. After Sa Shui’s defeat, most of his robes were killed, and his head was piled up by Koguryo, and 70,000 Sui soldiers were captured by Koguryo.
Gao Tao was also one of the Chinese, and later he was enslaved by the Koguryo people, who paved bridges and roads. Ten of them died early. Seven, because he was familiar with Buddhist scriptures, he often went to Guangfa Temple to recite the scriptures to the abbot, so he lived, but Gao Tao did not want to be a monk in Guangfa Temple, but wanted to go back to the slave camp with all the soldiers.
It’s another ordinary day in the official slave camp. It’s full of rubbish and filth. The dilapidated houses can’t keep out the rain in summer and the cold in winter. They can barely live, but the Koguryo people make these prisoners of war in the Sui Dynasty do the hardest and most tiring work.
Koguryo people who are poorly prepared in the official slave camp are not worried that the prisoners of war in the Sui Dynasty will run here. Once they are strangers, they will be taken out of the mountains in a few days and then taken out for public display. Koguryo people have a set of methods to treat fugitive slaves. First, torch them, burn them to pieces and keep angry, and then behead them and hang them for public display.
Gao Tao will lotus leaf bag rice back to the house, but see the bed is lying a dozen han suddenly have the strength.
Gao Tao took one look at these are the most elite soldiers of the Sui Dynasty. Now they are all skinny with hunger, and their eyes glow with green light.
Gao Tao said, "Here’s the meal. You divide the two packages first, and this package will be eaten by the sickest little ancient river."
"Xiao Gu can’t help it. He died of illness last night."
"That’s good for the river."
All the prisoners of war nodded when they heard this. Although they were prisoners of war, the soldiers still maintained military discipline. From one hand to another, everyone took a bite and gave it to one person. At the end of the day, there was still more than half of the rice.
Although all people are extremely hungry, they still maintain the love of Paoze friends.
While the seriously ill Xiaohe was eating his meal with tears in his eyes. He suddenly cried, "Brother Gao, I am homesick. I miss my mother and brother. I don’t want to die in Koguryo. I want to go home."
The cry of Xiaohe immediately made all the foot soldiers in the field wipe their tears. Who doesn’t have a big Sui family and who doesn’t miss their homeland?
Gao Tao roared, "Stop it, just like Niang Yao. Don’t be looked down upon by Koguryo people."
The river lies weakly in the pit, which is half covered with straw. When winter comes, this one can’t stand it. He cries, "Gogo, we have been living like pigs and dogs every day for ten years. How many brothers can’t stand being beaten and scolded by Goguryeo every day? We are all dead. We are counting on General Laibao to lead a navy to attack Pyongyang and save us back to Dasui. But we have been looking forward to it day and night for ten years. But when we arrived, the imperial court has long forgotten all about us. We thought that when our 300,000 troops marched into Liaodong, we beat the second branch
When it comes to this matter, everyone at the scene is crying.
What is this country’s most brave and loyal foot soldiers expedition to Koguryo, and now it has fallen here, but the country has forgotten him early, so where is the value they paid?
"Brother Gao, I ask you a favor. After my death, I will throw my body with a raft into the water. I heard that it flows to the land of Dasui, and I would rather die than be cheap."
Gao Tao listened to the cry of the river and sank, "Okay, I promise you."

Chapter six hundred and fifty-five Ride the waves
The blue-black Bohai Sea is choppy.
Turbid waves beat the Zhao flag holding the horn bow and waved in the wind. Several Zhao warships split the wind and waves and rode the wind.
The sea breeze hunts the setting sun like blood, and the sea wolf rises and falls in the sunset, and the figure of the warship drags long.
Li Chong-jiu’s ship looked at himself and hit the wave fleet. In this era, the European language is still gloomy. There is no doubt that he commanded this fleet in front of his eyes. This fleet is the most powerful naval force in the earth. Three four-story warships and hundreds of clippers are not counted, which constitutes the largest expedition fleet.
The battleship sailed straight east, and the islands in front were dotted with stars.
"Not far ahead is Duli Town, where our army can supplement the freshwater repair ship, which is already half way from Pyongyang." Xue Wanche told Li Chongjiu.
Li Chongjiu shook his head and said, "The goal of Buduli Town is too big. There is a beacon tower near Koguryo to wait and see. If he sees our warships and ships, Pyongyang will know the news of our army crossing the sea in a few days."
Li Chongjiu pointed his finger to the islands in the sea ahead, saying, "In front of it is the ancient land of Saman Island, where the general who came to care for the children was defeated in Pyongyang. After the defeat of Pyongyang, this island set up a military camp on Wuhu Island. This springboard attacked the city of Bethany. This time, I have ordered Zhouzhou to send someone to set up a transit dock to attack Pyongyang from here, which is closer and more concealed than the town of Duli in Dengzhou."
Zhang Xuansu Xue Wanshu and others can’t help but sigh when they listen to Li Chongjiu’s arrangement so carefully.
Warships travel slowly on Wuhu Island. Several warships with Zhao characters are flying from the island. Li Chongjiu’s flagship boarded the ship.
It was Zhou Zhou and Zhou Bo who boarded the ship. Zhou Zhou told Li Chongjiu that "Biwu Lake Island has enough fresh water troops to supply at any time, and I have opened a sheltered dock to rest the fleet."
Zhou Bo said to Li Chong-jiu, "Report to Zhao Zhou Wu Sanjia’s sea trade merchants that they have sent 20,000 stone stores to the island for the army to conquer the three families, and also sent 1,000 old boatmen familiar with Koguryo waters to guard 20 merchant ships, and the former army guided them to open the bridge to pave the way."
Li Chongjiu laughed and laughed. "Merchant ships can open bridges and pave the way for me, so why do you want a water army?"
Zhou Bo heard that the merchant ship was shocked at the bottom of his heart, but Li Chongjiu avoided Zhou Bo’s saying, "They are a patriotic heart."
Li Chongjiu asked, "Are all the three business leaders here?"
Zhou Bo bowed his head and said, "They are all here, and they dare not board the ship without being summoned."
"Let them ship."
Say that finish the three bows are boarding the ship. The Zhao Zhou Wu three sea trade merchants are all very young. Zhao is Zhuo County. Zhao supports the sea trade and has a family background. Zhou is Zhou Botang’s brother. Zhou is a business giant of Zhao. Wu Jiaze is an emerging sea trade. Wu Ping, a young man in his twenties, has risen from a few small junk to a dozen sea ships today. From the perspective of his success, he just seized the opportunity of Zhao to vigorously develop sea trade.
Li Chongjiu also knows something about three people.
Li Chongjiu said with a smile, "It is commendable that you businessmen are brave enough to serve the country when the country has something to do."
Three people together, "this is my equal"
Li Chongjiu said, "I didn’t set up the Dazhao Navy to build a hundred warships to deal with a mere Koguryo, Koguryo East and Silla Baekje, where there is a territory bigger than the Central Plains that we have to explore."
Li Chongjiu said that all three of them were dazzling, and Li Chongjiu outlined a vision for them.
"It’s far from enough to open up the coastal areas with our fleet, so I will continue to rely on you."
"Willing to be effective"
Li Chongjiu nodded his head and said, "Good flag to give to three people."
After awarding the flag, Li Chongjiu said, "If I allow your merchant ships to fly my Zhao flag when they enter and leave the sea, if you attack your merchant ships, it will be regarded as a provocation to our country."
After the three men looked at each other, they all thanked Li Chongjiu and said, "I will give you the post of captain of the water army. This time, I will send troops even though our army is the forerunner!"
"promise!"
The water army of Zhao took a night off to replenish fresh water supplies and repair the ship. The next day, the army sailed to Pyongyang in full condition.
However, by this day, the boatman reported that there was a rain cloud in front of the fleet. The fleet had already set out for several days. At this time, it was already time to return to Duli Town to take shelter from the rain. When Li Chongjiu asked the old bow of the maritime fleet about it, he told me that it was almost winter, and there would never be a typhoon in the sea. Such rain clouds are usually showers that don’t last long, and they are often met when driving.
Li Chongjiu listened to the words of the old bow and ordered the fleet to move on. In the afternoon, it hit the rain clouds and the heavy rain came as scheduled. The heavy rain covered the deck warships and bumped in the waves.
"Dangerous deck"
"I know"
Li Chongjiu’s porthole looked at the heavy rain like ink, and even the sea was dark. Li Chongjiu’s ear was full of crackling sounds, and it was very difficult for his flagship to shake.
