On the sea, which is only a few dozen miles away from the coastline of the mainland, a naval army composed of 300 warships is chopping the waves, this is an 8,000 naval army from Quanzhou, led by Yao He himself.

The three hundred warships are all large ships of the 3,000 stone class, each large ship can accommodate at least 300 people, and can carry 90,000 people at a time, of course, but also carry grain and fresh water, but there is no problem in actually carrying 50,000 people.

The reason why they sent the big ships was to transport Zhu Zhu's army on the one hand, but their real purpose was to transport back the population of Dengzhou and Laizhou at one time.

Since the army set out from the port of Quanzhou, they have cut off contact with the land, and they no longer know everything that happened on the mainland, and at the same time, all kinds of information obtained from Quanzhou were also selectively sent to them by Lin Yaozu, making them believe that Zhu Zhu's army was fighting fiercely with Li Na's army on the front line of Yunzhou and Jeju, and that Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Mizhou were completely empty, and hundreds of thousands of people were waiting for them to transport them away.

The monarchs and ministers of Quanzhou are dreaming of population migration, looking forward to the arrival of the first tens of thousands of immigrants.

On the morning of this day, the fleet arrived at the outskirts of Haizhou, and the ships led by them suddenly found that two thousand-stone warships had appeared in front of them.

Yao He walked to the bow of the ship with a war sword in his hand, and watched the ship getting closer and closer in front of him, at this time, the lookout sentry shouted: "The warship ahead has raised the double black dragon flag!" ”

Yao He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, this is the flag agreed in advance, and the details of the intelligence sent by Lin Yaozu explain that when they arrive in Haizhou, the Zhu Zhu army warship will come out to greet them and play the double black dragon flag.

"Remove the alert, it's a friendly warship!"

Yao He passed down the order, and the flag waved, indicating that the ship coming from the opposite side was his own person, and the alert was lifted.

The opposing ship slowly approached, grazing the edge of the flagship, and a general wearing the armor of the Zhu Han Army clasped his fists and said, "In Xia Cao Guang? Deputy Governor of the Luoyang Water Army? On the order of my general, I am here to welcome the arrival of the Quanzhou Navy! ”

Yao He didn't know if there was a navy in Luoyang? He nodded and asked with a smile, "Who is your general?" ”

"My general is Li Weibing, the deputy marshal of Zhengdong? The official served as the general of the Left Guard, and he was also left behind in Henan. ”

Yao He is a military general? Living in Haijiang, which is isolated from the Central Plains, how do you know who Li Weibing is? Listen to the other party seriously? He believed it too.

"Where's the General?"

"The general led the army to Xuzhou? Now that we are on our way back to Haizhou, we have a barracks in the harbor, so we invite the brothers from Quanzhou to go ashore for a short rest for two days, and wait for the general to come back? We immediately set off for the north. ”

"Isn't there an army in Haizhou?" Yao He asked in surprise.

"There are only two of us at the moment? The 300 brothers, because of the rebellion of the Xuzhou assassins, the general was ordered to lead the army to suppress it, and the rebellion has been quelled, and the general and 20,000 brothers will soon return to Haizhou. ”

Yao He nodded? They really also had to replenish food and fresh water, and the soldiers went ashore a little to rest? He immediately said: "Please General Cao lead the way, and our fleet will enter Haizhou!" ”

Cao Guang ordered the warship to turn around? led the Quanzhou fleet to Haizhou port.......

The Haizhou Port in the Tang Dynasty is not the same as the current Lianyungang, there is an island covering an area of hundreds of hectares? It's called Yuju Island? Tokai County is on the island? There is a strait several miles wide between the island and the mainland, but as the sediment of the Yellow River and the Huai River continues to accumulate and large areas of land along the coast appear, this strait gradually disappears, and the island and the mainland are finally connected.

Three hundred warships anchored in the strait, and the soldiers went to the mainland and rested in the barracks outside the city of Qishan County, waiting for the opposing army to return from Xuzhou.

The 3,000 boatmen who drove the warship arranged for Donghai County to rest, and there happened to be a slightly smaller barracks empty there, and the more important reason was that the warehouses for various supplies were located in Donghai County, and the boatmen needed to replenish the warships with fresh water and food.

As soon as the sky was dark, the county commander of Qishan County led the people to send a hundred fat pigs and hundreds of jars of good wine to the military camp, and the soldiers who sailed for ten days drank wine and ate meat, and many soldiers were so drunk that they didn't even have time to wait for the pork to be roasted and fell asleep.

Yao He drank two bowls of wine, and began to feel a little dizzy, he usually drank a very good amount of wine, drinking three or four catties of wine without getting drunk, but this wine seemed to have a little more stamina, and it was not the same as the wine in Quanzhou.

"This wine.... What's going on? ”

Yao He said vaguely: "The wine is too strong!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the wine bowl in his hand couldn't hold it, 'Dangchang! When he landed, he collapsed in his chair and began to fall into a deep sleep.

Several pro-soldiers who did not drink looked at each other, their general's alcohol consumption was one of the best in Quanzhou, and sometimes they could drink a jar of wine, only two bowls of wine, why did they fall?

At this time, a lieutenant stumbled into the camp and shouted vaguely: "This wine.... There is a problem with the wine, you can't drink it! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he also fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

The soldiers were shocked, and hurriedly poured the remaining wine into the bowl, put it under the lamp and looked closely, there was no abnormality in the taste, and the wine tasted a little stronger, but if you look closely, you can indeed find that there are wisps of white silk in the wine, it should be something put in, and it has not been completely dissolved, but you can only find it when you look carefully under the lamp, and you can't see it in the dim light, let alone in the dark night, no wonder the other party sent wine and meat when it was almost dark.

The soldiers were shocked, they set up Yao He and rushed out of the big tent, only to see dozens of campfires in the camp, lying all over the sleeping soldiers, basically all of them were hit.

At this time, there were countless black shadows outside the camp, there were tens of thousands of people, surrounded the camp, more than a dozen pro-soldiers carried Yao He just ran out of the camp, and suddenly a burst of chaotic arrows shot head-on like a storm, and the pro-soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, even Yao He was hit by three arrows, one of which hit the chest and pierced the heart, Yao He did not wake up, and died tragically under the arrow.

Countless soldiers surrounded them from all sides, and the remaining two soldiers were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy........

10,000 soldiers held torches in their hands, the military camp was brightly lit, Li Bing walked into the camp quickly surrounded by the generals, the Quanzhou soldiers in the camp had been woken up by cold water, most of them sat back to back, many soldiers were still ignorant, did not fully wake up.

"Where are their masters?" Li Bing asked.

A general stepped forward and said, "General Qiyu, their main general led more than a dozen people to escape from the barracks, but they were shot dead by the brothers who were lying in ambush on the periphery. ”

Li Bing heard that Yao He was dead, but he didn't care too much, Yao He was of no value, and Li Bing valued 8,000 sailors and 300 warships more.

"Where are their weapons?" Li Bing asked again.

"Their weapons have been collected."

Li Bing nodded, "Put them all down temporarily, and register early tomorrow morning!" ”

The Quanzhou soldiers were ordered to get up, they didn't know if they could live, they got up one by one with trembling, and were escorted by the soldiers to the big tent to wait for disposal.

At the same time, 7,000 sailors under the leadership of General Zhang Kecheng boarded the warship and controlled 300 warships.

The sky finally dawned, and the eight thousand Quanzhou soldiers were escorted to a meadow, and everyone sat on the ground, and the Jin army had no intention of killing them, so that the soldiers were quietly relieved.

At this time, Li Bing walked up to a high platform and said loudly to the soldiers sitting on the ground: "Brothers, I am Li Bing, a general under the command of King Jin, and the court has been named the general of the left guard and the Duke of Lu, from now on, you will be taken over by me, although the brothers are the Quanzhou Navy, but the Quanzhou Navy, you are not the Yao family's private army, you should be loyal to the imperial court, from now on, you can choose, if you are willing to continue to serve in the army, then you will become a member of the imperial army, enjoy the preferential treatment of the imperial court, if you are not willing to join the army again." , I am not reluctant, when the war is over, I will be released to return to my hometown to farm, in a word, your fate is up to you. ”

There was a buzz on the grass, and a group of generals sat at the front of the grass, several of the high-level generals loyal to the Yao family had been taken away, and the rest were middle- and low-level generals.

At this time, a forty-year-old general stood up and said, "General Li, we are actually willing to submit to the imperial court, but we are just worried about what to do with the families in Quanzhou?" ”

Li Bing said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, the 50,000 imperial army from Guangzhou will soon arrive in Quanzhou, there are only 10,000 troops left in Quanzhou City, the Yao family will soon be destroyed, and your families will be under the protection of the imperial court." ”

The generals looked at each other, of course they knew that there was no water army in Quanzhou, just like a tiger without minions, and the imperial army was killed in Quanzhou at this time, and the Yao family was really finished.

"We are willing to serve the imperial court!" More than two dozen middle- and low-level generals stood up and saluted together.

General Lang just now turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, the Yao family is going to end, we don't have to work for him anymore, returning to the imperial court is the right way, we are originally the Tang Dynasty Army!" ”

It could be seen that this famous general was very prestigious, and under his encouragement, the soldiers raised their arms and shouted, "I am willing to submit to the imperial court!" ”

Li Bing was a little surprised, and asked Sima Zhang Chaoyuan, the entourage of the Quanzhou Army next to him, in a low voice: "Who is this person?" ”

Zhang Chaoyuan hurriedly said: "Hui Yu General, this person's name is Mei Hongqing, he has been in the Quanzhou Navy for almost 20 years, and he has a high prestige in the Navy Army, but he is too upright, the Yao family father and son don't like him, and he has not been reused, everyone calls him Mei Laolang, and he has been a Lang general for ten years." ”

Li Bing nodded, secretly thinking in his heart, this person can be reused!
