"What?" Xiao Mo was shocked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He looked at the opposite side seriously, but saw that these warships of the Nanjun Navy were already full of red flags, and the largest building ship among them was not Dou Qing's Chen Guogong flag, but a big "Chen" flag.

"Chen? Who's this? Xiao Mo was surprised, and he asked directly: "Who are you?" ”

"In Xia Chen Ling, Tian is the general manager of the westward journey under the command of Duke Wu, and I have seen the Xiao gang leader." The man on the other side replied loudly, and bowed his hand to Xiao from afar.

"Chen Ling?" Xiao Miao's eyes widened again, this name Xiao Mi was not unfamiliar.

At the beginning, in order to ensure the safety of Jiangdu, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty ordered Chen Ling to be a general and attack Du Fuwei. Du Fuwei was defeated and retreated one after another, thus becoming a famous general in the world. It can be said that it is precisely because of Chen Ling's existence that Jiangdu has been stable for so long.

"It's just, why is Chen Ling here? Shouldn't he be in Jiangdu? Xiao Mo was puzzled by this.

The news that Li Qin had broken through Jiangdu and rescued the ministers who had been imprisoned by Yu Wenhua did not publicize it in a big way.

The attention of the people of the world is on Li Qin's acquisition of the people of Jiangdu, but they don't know that Li Qin got the people of Jiangdu and also got these civil and military officials who originally belonged to the Sui Dynasty. They didn't know that when Yang Guang was dead and they were rescued by Li Qin from Yu Wenhua's butcher's knife, most of these people who originally belonged to the Sui Dynasty were all interested in Li Qin.

The old minister was reluctant to join Li Qin's army directly, but he also used his experience and connections to do things for Li Qin; As for those young officials, they did not want to waste their years and knowledge, so they directly joined Li Qin's army and received Li Qin's training.

Chen Ling is one of them, now less than forty years old, the heart of merit in his chest has not faded, he still wants to use the rest of his life to continue to make achievements, when he is alive, he can indulge in glory and wealth, and after his death, he can leave a name in history.

Therefore, after Li Qin defeated Zhang Shan'an, occupied Jiujiang and Yuzhang counties, marched into Jiangxia, and stationed troops in Wuchang, he asked Li Qin for his life and went to Nanjun to persuade Dou Qing to surrender the city.

Chen Ling is still very confident in this matter.

Because he not only has a comradeship with Dou Qing, but also holds a letter from Rong Guogong to protect his son. Lai Hu'er is the only remaining commander in the Great Sui army who can command the generals after Yang Lin, the backer king, and he is also known for his prestige in the Great Sui officialdom. Chen Ling believed that with Laihu'er's letter and his own persuasion, coupled with Dou Qing's own disagreement with his brother Dou Kang, Dou Qing would definitely be tempted.

And that's exactly what happened.

Chen Ling arrived in Gangneung, Nanjun three days ago. He was just a little bit earlier than Cen Text.

However, it was just a little bit earlier that he left a good impression in Dou Qing's eyes in advance.

Although he only said a few pleasantries, Dou Qing was already happy to see Chen Ling, who had escaped from Jiangdu.

At that time, Chen Ling persuaded Dou Qing to meet with Cen Wenwen, and then learned from Dou Qing's mouth about Xiao Miao's plan.

At that moment, Chen Ling persuaded Dou Qing to raise the Yangtze River Sailor and Nanjun to take refuge in Li Qin, and he took out a letter from Laihu'er as evidence. After hearing that Li Qin's attack on Jiangdu was to avenge the first emperor Yang Guang, and to pay tribute to Yang Guang with the blood of Yuwen Valve and a major rebel general, Dou Qing, who had always been a little grateful to Yang Guang, suddenly burst into tears.

He moved for Chen Ling and decided to defect to Li Qin.

Dou Qing wanted to use Xiao Mo as a resource to ask Li Qin for credit, which was already a promotion, but he felt that this violated his promise to Cen Wenwen, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

Chen Ling saw Dou Qing's thoughts and tried his best to persuade Dou Qing to send troops to attack Xiao Miao.

He persuaded Dou Qing: "Qing Gong doesn't have to feel that this is a breach of trust. In fact, as long as Qinggong raises the banner and changes the banner, Qinggong's promise to Xiao Mian will be completely nullified. After all, that promise was made by Nanjun Taishou, and it had nothing to do with Wu Gong's side. ”

"Huh? There is some truth to that. Dou Qing's heart was moved, and he immediately took action.

Shortly after Cen Wenwen left, Dou Qing announced a change of flag.

For this reason, Chen Ling found the Ice Jade Pavilion in Jiangling City and informed the people of the Ice Jade Pavilion of Dou Qingyi's news.

The Ice Jade Pavilion was Li Qin's intelligence agency set up in various places. With the wireless telegraph machine that Li Qin had allocated to them, Bing Yuge reported the news of Chen Ling's meritorious service, Dou Qingyizhi, and Xiao Miao's return to the south to Li Qin, who was stationed in Wuchang.

Li Qin, who received the news, was overjoyed and decided to make a dangerous attack: let the forty gunboats advance westward to join up with the Yangtze River Naval Division, which was advancing eastward overnight, and take advantage of Xiao Miao's relaxation of vigilance to intercept Xiao Miao's return to the south in front of Xiao Miao.

"Fight with Xiao Mo in a water war. If you can directly Xiao Mill, it is naturally the best, if you can't do this, then it is also good to be able to hit Xiao Mill in battle. Our gunboats have a decisive advantage in water warfare, as long as they can arrive in time, it will be miserable to take Xiao Mill! Li Qin made the decision with this in mind.

He did not hesitate, and while sending forty gunboats, he set off the merchant fleet and went directly to the west, against the current, to attack the city of Baling.

In Li Qin's opinion, after he obtained Dou Qing's refuge, the time was completely ripe for Xiao Mo to settle in the first war. Although it has become much more difficult to capture Baling after sending out the gunboats, as long as it is well planned, it seems that Baling has a lot to do in terms of his current defensive posture.

At that time, Li Qin had already determined from Dou Qing's side that Xiao Miao's side had not withdrawn overnight, and it seemed that he was still thinking about looting from the public security city.

Xiao Mo did not move, but Dou Qing and Li Qin coincidentally chose to march into the army overnight. In the middle of the night, Dou Qing sent 20,000 of the most elite in his naval division to take more than 100 warships along the north shore to the east, bypassing Xiao Miao's water camp and rushing to the front of Xiao Miao.

Xiao Mo didn't know anything about it. On the second day, he rose from the village and went to Jiangbei to take a look, but because Dou Qing had already made preparations, there were flags and straw men all over the water camp, and he hid Xiao Mo for a while.

Xiao Mo went south and east with peace of mind, but he didn't want to be blocked by Chen Ling, Dou Qing, and Nangong Haizhu on the Yangtze River waterway.

Of course, Xiao Mo didn't understand this, he only knew now that what he was most worried about had happened.

Li Qin and Dou Qing joined forces to annihilate themselves here.

“…… What a good calculation! Want to eat me? I'm not afraid to shatter my white teeth! Xiao Mo said hatefully.

War was inevitable, so Xiao Mo gave up all illusions, and he loudly announced to the whole army:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the old thief Dou Qing has treacherously cooperated with our enemies and blocked our way home. Now, there is a good chance that our enemies are wreaking havoc in our homeland, and your brothers and sisters are in danger. Soldiers, show your courage! If we are to return to our homeland, we must win the battle we are fighting now. ”

Xiao Milling has profound skills, and shouting at the moment is naturally salty news from far and near. Even the forest birds on the bank of the river were frightened and flew high at this moment.

"This Xiao Mill turned out to be a master!" Listening to Xiao Miao's shout, a woman in purple with a slender scimitar walking along the riverbank said lightly.

She looked up at the river to the south, and just in time she saw the flotilla with the red flag and the flotilla with the green flag meeting on the river.

"Has Li Jun already taken down here?" The purple-clothed woman's eyes narrowed slightly, and her face showed joy and love.

She watched fixedly, paying attention to the battle on the river.

At this time, Xiao Miao's speech had ended. His reasonable rhetoric naturally aroused the worries in the hearts of the soldiers, and turned such worries into the anger of the same enemy.

Morale was boosted as a result.

The battle was about to break out, and the fleets of both sides raised their sails and approached quickly under the strong wind.

This section of the river is a slight undulating place from southeast to northeast, and the river surface is quite wide, which is most suitable for the battle between the two armies.

Because it was a joint operation, Nangong Haizhu did not put on his best line. He discussed with Chen Ling and Dou Qing, and finally decided on a battle plan: take the lead of the Yangtze River Navy Division and rush into Xiao Miao's fleet; After the Yangtze River Naval Division completed the breakthrough, Nangong Haizhu's gunboats followed closely and fired their bows left and right with a single vertical formation that flowed out, giving Xiao Mo the heaviest blow.

"In this battle, we will put the enemy down to fight at a very close distance to give full play to our firepower superiority. Of course, this will also make it possible for the enemy to attack us directly. So...... You must be prepared to lose your troops. After determining the overall tactics, Nangong Haizhu returned to his own ship and summoned the capital of each ship to announce the plan to them.

This battle plan is the result of mutual accommodation between the two sides, and the advantage of this plan is that it can greatly borrow the combat power of the Yangtze River Naval Division, while the disadvantage is that it cannot fully give full play to its own advantages.

"We are not afraid of sacrifice! It's just a matter of whether the sacrifice is worthwhile. Do we have to do this in this battle? Some people have questioned this.

"Xiao Miao's fleet of sailors is much larger than Zhang Shan'an, with the strength of our forty gunboats, are you sure we can destroy them alone?" Nangong Haizhu did not defend himself in the face of suspicion, but asked this sentence rhetorically.

"This ...... There is no way! Regarding Nangong Haizhu's rhetorical question, everyone shook their heads honestly.

Li Qinjun's warships are much more powerful than Xiao Miao, but such strength mainly lies in the weapons and combat ideas between the two.

If you really want to talk about combat ability, no matter how arrogant you are, Li Qin's side doesn't dare to say that his side can completely destroy Xiao Miao's sailors. You must know that Xiao Mill's sailors can have 60,000 people, and nearly 1,000 large and small warships. Such a huge number is enough to offset the superiority of Li Qin's side in the combat power of a single ship.

"Since we can't win, then we must rely on the strength of the Yangtze River Sailors. With such cooperation, it is necessary to reach a corresponding consensus on mutual accommodation and determine a mutually acceptable battle plan. Nangong Haizhu said with a smile.

This is also true, everyone knows it when you think about it.

As a result, everyone had no objections. As they themselves say, they are not afraid of sacrifice, but of unnecessary sacrifices.
