The house leak happened to be rainy, and Lu Ning was pondering whether to transfer the palace army and the Beijing garrison army back to the Beijing division to create pressure on the party members.

The day after receiving the party's military information, there was a secret report from Pingzhou, saying that the Liao lord Yelu Gang Sage had regathered his military horses in Liaoyang Mansion, Tokyo, and in particular, with the support of the eight women's direct departments such as the Suguan Department, it seemed that he would invade the south again in the near future.

The information was sent to the sea ship by Jinzhou's fine work, and then sent to Pingzhou by the navy.

The Khitan few coastal sea transport has been completely cut off by the Qi army, along the coast of the Bohai Bay, there are often Qi army and water army raids, after the loss of Youyun, the Khitan people's sea salt field is only left in the original Bohai State of Chen, Luerzhou and Xizhou and other three or two.

The sea salt farms in Tatsu and Luerzhou are in the Whale Sea (Sea of Japan) and the Yellow Sea, and nowadays, they are all disturbed.

For today, there is no water map in this sea area, let alone trade and no merchant routes, so it is not necessary to reach the coast of the Whale Sea at the expense of the sea ships, of course, not only to attack the Khitan salt field, but more importantly, it is an exploration of the northern seas.

At the same time, the replenishment of the expedition at sea is also a kind of exercise.

At the same time, in order to reduce the possibility of septicemia due to the lack of vitamin C supplementation in fruits and vegetables, a large amount of sugar cane is also a necessity, in addition to green tea, lemon and kimchi are also good things to supplement vitamin C.

In fact, these are reflected in the fleet of the East China Sea, and the emperor can also prescribe the right medicine for the terrible disease that the Hu merchants who have been sailing all the year round are also regarded as "sea plagues" and do not understand what is going on, and they can really not help but make all the voyagers more and more superstitious, if this pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven is not the son of the Emperor of Heaven, it is simply unreasonable.

There is also the "sea well", which was transformed into a mythical and story-like desalination device by the Tang Dynasty navigators, and it is now also realized.

For Qi people, all the students who have received the education of "Ming Material" now actually know that the boiling point of water, gasification, liquefaction, etc., also know that seawater is a mixture of pure water and salts and other impurities.

Of course, the distillation device carried by the sea ship requires a large amount of coal and charcoal to convert fresh water, and the conversion rate is also very low, so it can only be used for emergency use when the ammunition is exhausted and there is really no supply point.

Generally speaking, at this time, the little freshwater that is transformed may just bring a glimmer of life to the crew, but most of the time, it is just a comforting product.

In short, Lu Ningling's actions in the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the Whale Sea were more about training, rather than really hoping that the navy could play a big role in dealing with the powerful Khitans.

On the other hand, the indigenous people of Southeast Asia, the naval army can have a strategic deterrent effect in coastal ports, so it is not in vain.

However, from time to time, it attacked the Khitan coastal salt works, which also made it very anxious.

At the same time, since the beginning of the war, it is basically unrealistic to send intelligence from the Khitan Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion to Youyun, and sometimes, the navy has also assumed the role of transmitting intelligence.

This time, it brought extremely bad news, it seems that Yelu Sage finally had to mobilize many tribes to support him, including the Xi people and female direct tribes under the Khitan.

Perhaps, the Khitan tribes in Zhongjing and Shangjing are also gathering.

Moreover, if he was Yelu Gongsage, he would never be able to trust him again, and he would inevitably send an envoy to say that the grassland tribes that were nominally dependent on him in the south and north of the desert, and the eight tribes of the enemy, the Menggu tribes, the White Tatar tribes, and so on, would send troops to respond.

The more western and northern tribes of the obstructionists, the Meili Urgent Department (the Mi'er Beggars), etc., although they have not yet surrendered to the Khitan, if they are themselves, they will also promise many benefits and destroy the south together.

There is no shortage of capable ministers around Yelu Gangsage, and they can think of what they can think of.

Of course, the southern and northern tribes of the desert are promised to the Khitans, but in fact, it is also very difficult to unite and go south.

For example, if you block the servant tribes, the Meili urgent department, etc., you will agree to the Khitans to go south, but if you want to go south to attack the Yunzhou land, you have to pass through the territory of the White Tatar tribes, and where will the White Tatar tribes be willing to let it? In the style of the steppe peoples, this kind of borrowing turned into an invasion and plunder of the White Tatar tribes in a matter of minutes.

The White Tatars must have feared that they would be stabbed in the back by these hungry wolves from the north during their battle with the Qi people.

But in any case, in the next period of time, I am afraid that we will usher in an extremely difficult war, so that if we can still resist the enemy outside the fortress, the clouds can really make the Khitan people break their minds and recognize the reality of the unification of the Central Plains.

……

In the imperial tent, Lu Ning was meditating on the edict to the generals of the whole army to boost the morale of the whole army and welcome the next bloody battle.

There were only four maids left in the tent, the three princesses of Yelu, that is, Yelu and Classical, Yelu Guanyin and Yelu Sathorn, in addition to Yelu Nanxian.

Yelu Jiuge, Yelu Guyu, Yelu Shuge, and Xiao Yueliduo were all sent to Bianjing after being favored by the Nanren Emperor.

Among them, Yelu Jiuge was named Baolin, and the other three daughters were all named "Mrs. Hu".

Yelu Nanxian knew why he was left behind, but in fact, he was still a little happy in his heart.

The first time she gave it to the Nanren Emperor, although it was in an extremely promiscuous state, she was broken by the Nanren Emperor with two other companions, Yelu Shuge and Xiao Yueliduo, which made her not enjoy the respect that she should have between the beds, but unmistakably repeated and repeated to let them know that they were just trophies of the Nanren Emperor.

However, on the contrary, this guy who was given for the first time was such a perfect man, with the elegance and dignity of a noble person in the Central Plains, and the bravery that any grassland warrior could not defeat.

Yelu Nanxian knew that although he was forced, although he was a trophy, but after becoming his woman, he had a morbid infatuation with him, so he left himself here, obviously because he didn't like himself enough, but made himself a little happy.

As a well-known beauty in the clan, her father is the younger brother of Liao Shizong, and the daughter of Uncle Wang from the south, Yelu Nanxian knows that her marriage has never been due to herself, and now, it seems that she has met the kind of coveted lover in the spring dream.

Although, this lover only cares about his own beauty, and may even like to have himself because of his false name of "the first beauty on the grassland", and is reluctant to send himself away, but I don't know why, I always feel that he is not so bad, so lustful, and always feels that he is his lover in his previous life.

Yelu Nanxian also knew that he was now a little fascinated by him, but he couldn't control the throbbing of the girl Huaichun in his heart.

The four Khitan beauties are all in a very complicated mood, these days, the emperor of the Nanren seems to have forgotten a few of them, and he doesn't rest in the tent every day, I don't know, what he is planning day and night.

I also know that it must be my own people, and I am going to attack in a big way.

The third princess of Yelu didn't know whether she was happy or worried, let alone whether she wanted the people to win, or hoped that the emperor of the south would have the last laugh.

Yelu Nanxian was secretly worried, seeing that his brows were tightly locked, he wanted to speak up and help him come up with ideas, so he thought hard about how he could help him.

At this time, Han Derang's voice outside the tent, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the scout has just come to report that there are many corpses in Dading City, Zhongjing, Khitan, and many corpses have been carried out for heavenly burial. His voice trembled, he was excited, and as he spoke, he stepped into the tent.

Lu Ning's eyes froze suddenly.

The old customs of Khitan are all congenital burials, and then cremation, although the nobles now learn more about the Central Plains burial, but ordinary herdsmen still maintain the old customs.

Is there a plague?

If this is the case, I can only say that I really have the courage, after all, at that time, countless Khitan corpses were thrown from the Tuhe River and made them go down to Dading City in Zhongjing, whether it can cause an epidemic in Zhongjing depends on the will of God.

And if it's really a plague.

In this way, Yelu Gong sa Ge invaded the south, and Zhongjing's pressure on himself was greatly reduced.

Concentrate on dealing with the Khitan, Xi people, and women's direct departments in Liaodong.

Of course, even if there is no plague, it is not that he has no confidence to defeat the Khitan, but the war is bound to be very cruel, and I don't know how many Qi warriors will spill blood.

"Order someone to probe again, but according to what I said earlier, just wait and see from afar, do a good job of protection, and be cautious." Lu Ning waved his hand at Han Derang.

Han Derang hurriedly took the order and left, but sighed softly in his heart, the Holy Son of Heaven, what a god, the plague, he had also dabbled in it before, but he voted for the Southern Dynasty, and saw the plague, cholera, malaria, etc., as well as various infection route protection measures, he was shocked for a while, and when he knew this, they were all medical scriptures compiled by the Holy Son of Heaven for the world's medical museum, and he could only say that the true Son of Heaven was indeed the Son of Heaven.
