Li De's hesitation is not whether to fight but how to fight, naval warfare is not their strong point, even if there are warships, they are not necessarily stronger than pirates.

It was a taboo for him to go out into battle, and he couldn't joke with the lives of his soldiers.

"The vanguard is brave and good at war, but they are not good at naval warfare, and besides, the ships are being built, and the navy is not so easy to train." Li De explained.

"Husband, wouldn't this refute Your Majesty's intentions, and this will not be beneficial to Youzhou." Pei Qingxuan said.

"If you don't send a ship, you can exterminate pirates, don't forget that the current pirates are targeting coastal fishermen and some transport merchant ships, and the vanguard can only be stationed along the coast, as for the ships, they can only wait for them to come."

Li De explained that the objective conditions did not allow them to dispatch ships, which was also a matter of no choice, but they could send vanguard soldiers to the beach to garrison.

Lu Fulin was very worried after getting the news, he didn't know what Li De's idea was, but stationing troops in coastal areas and other places was simply a provocation to the Sui garrison.

He knew very well that if he told Emperor Yang of Sui about this, he would not be able to keep his official position, and if he didn't get it right, he might lose his life.

So for the sake of his small life, Lu Fulin has been running to the Governor's Mansion a lot in the past few days, and the people who come and go are even half acquaintances.

"Governor, this official has come to bother me again, and I am considering the matter of garrisoning, and it is really inappropriate to really send troops to garrison." Lu Fulin went on to express his attitude on the matter.

"Are you afraid that the vanguard will threaten the imperial power, and it will be a provocation to the imperial power, which will cause Your Majesty to be angry, and your life will be in danger, right?"

Lu Fulin had a bitter face, that's what he thought in his heart, that is, if he didn't say this kind of thing, Li De could say that it was not easy for him to say it clearly, if it was spread out, the result of waiting for him would still not end well.

"Dadu Governor, the pirate group led by Yang Xuangan is really a huge threat to the lives of the people, many young children have been snatched and taken away by them, in the long run, their power will spread throughout the entire coastal area in less than three years, it is a big trouble, this official knows that the Dadu Governor cares about the common people, and I implore you to send troops to exterminate the pirates."

Lu Fulin said sincerely, but the facts did not allow it.

"Lu Fulin, you come and go every day and know the situation here in Youzhou, the vanguard ships are being built, and you also said that the pirates have a hundred and ten big ships, if you only send a small number of warships to fight, you can't solve the problem at all, maybe the army will be defeated, I can't let the vanguard soldiers make fearless sacrifices because there is no doubt, do you understand?"

Li De said seriously, how could Lu Fulin not know, but what could he do, if the vanguard did not move, what if His Majesty sent him to the border with a word.

For the sake of his future and small life, even if he comes every day, he will not give up if he is already bored, and everything else is a floating cloud compared to life.

Hearing Li De's resolute refusal, Lu Fulin looked depressed This is not the first time, his mentality is quite good, at least His Majesty did not stipulate his time, that is to say, there is still a chance before the beginning of spring.

Li De looked at Lu Fulin's appearance, and he said indifferently: "Choosing soldiers and horses to go out does not necessarily mean that the vanguard is the best choice. ”

Lu Fulin suddenly came back when he heard Li De's words, obviously to remind him that if he didn't seize the opportunity at this time, how could he be worthy of his official position as Honglu Siqing.

The position of Honglu Siqing is not something that anyone can do, and the main responsibility for the work is communication, and those who have rules and regulations have to be handed over to them to do.

As it is now, it is necessary to send envoys to negotiate, and it is usually necessary to negotiate, but you can imagine how much pressure they have and the power they hold is too great to be matched by other official positions.

The people who work in Honglu Temple are even more shrewd, and their words and deeds represent the official family, and they are more related to their lives.

"The Metropolitan Governor has something to say, please speak." Lu Fulin said immediately.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Li De knew that the other party was really helpless, so in order not to let Lu Fulin come to disturb him every day, he could only help him come up with an idea.

"Do you know who among the generals of the Sui State is the best at fighting water wars?" Li De asked.

"Naturally, I came to protect my children, but now my rebellion has become a big trouble for the Sui State, and this kind of action is really a shame."

Lu Fulin was quite excited when he said it, Laihu'er's rebellion was unexpected, but if you ask yourself, if you really come back in that case, it will definitely be a small life.

I don't want to protect the lives of the previous ones, after all, everyone has a strong family or prestige behind them, even if they are angry, they will at most lose their officials.

Laihu'er's foundation is still shallow, and whether he can survive is not a matter of His Majesty's words.

Lu Fulin really wants to say fair things, but justice can only be at ease in the hearts of the people, and the things decided by the emperor are good for him to play tricks and do a good job in diplomacy, where is he in the mood to care about other people's affairs, but his attitude is to resolutely defend the emperor's position.

"How can this person come to Hu'er and say that he is good at naval warfare without commenting on him, if you send him to battle, can you defeat the sea pirates?" Li De asked suddenly.

Lu Fulin looked at Li De in silence and said slowly: "If you look at the past achievements, at least there is no one among the generals of the Sui State who can match it. ”

After reading Li De's expression, Lu Fulin said that the combat effectiveness of the vanguard is now recognized as strong, and he does not know the words of the sailors, and the vanguard has never fought a naval battle, so if he does not listen to what he says, he will not offend people.

At this time, I can't care so much, anyway, I'll just talk about it.

"In this case, Your Majesty has offered a rich reward for suppressing bandits, why don't you persuade Your Majesty to re-edict Zhao'an to protect your son, so that he can exterminate pirates and weaken Penglai's power while destroying pirates, and after Zhao'an, Penglai returned to Sui again to control this, killing three birds with one stone, what do you think?"

Lu Fulin was stunned for a while listening to Li De's words, how could he not have thought of such a simple thing.

In the Jiangling Palace, Lu Fulin was talking to Emperor Yang of Sui about the foundation of "killing three birds with one stone".

"Your Majesty, the governor of Youzhou is really too disagreeable, not only refusing to send ships but also asking to be stationed on the coast, although he can protect and protect for a while, but in fact his behavior can't deceive everyone, obviously to protect the local people, in fact, he wants to occupy the coastal city as a port for the vanguard in the future, so the minister refused his request."

"In order to solve the current problem, the minister came up with this 'killing three birds with one stone' strategy, hoping to share the worries of His Majesty."

Lu Fulin's performance is very calm, and what he says is the same as the real thing, whether others believe it or not, Emperor Yang of Sui believes it anyway.
