Zheng Huchen sat down under the little emperor's hands, but he only dared to put half of his butt next to the stool, and the little emperor still buried his head in the official document as if he didn't see him, and didn't say a word to himself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This made him even more uncomfortable, even better than kneeling on the ground just now, rubbing his clothes uneasily with his hands on his knees, how could he not have a person who was relieved of the siege!

"Chief Zheng, please use tea!"

"Oh, Miss Xie!" Just when Zheng Huchen was as uncomfortable as sitting on pins and needles, he found that the little girl who had just interceded for him had held tea, and hurriedly took it and thanked him. And the little girl just smiled and squatted down slightly, gave a blessing, and then retreated to His Majesty's side, and reclassified the approved official documents, which surprised him very much.

Zheng Huchen knew that the little emperor had always attached great importance to secrecy, and the official documents submitted to him would not be touched by anyone except Wang De and the two selected little yellow doors, and as far as he knew, the two little yellow doors were still illiterate. But this little girl knew that after the capture of Quanzhou, she was selected into the palace from among her rebellious family members and slaves, but he didn't expect that in just a few months, she not only won the trust of the little emperor, but also seemed to have something in it.

"Is it Your Majesty...... Maybe it's just a little attached to her! Zheng Huchen thought of this and peeked at the little emperor, only to see that while he was reviewing the official documents, he also grabbed the peeled nuts from the plate and stuffed them into his mouth, and sat on the chair with his feet still on the ground, no matter how he looked at it, he was a child. Therefore, he quickly dismissed the idea that popped up and muttered to himself.

"I've made you confused, what's going on with what you asked you to check?"

"Your Majesty, after an all-out investigation, there are already some eyebrows!" Just when he was thinking about whether the little emperor had begun to be interested in women, the little emperor suddenly asked, he looked up and saw that he had finished reading the last official document, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Hmph, dare to say all your strength, what did you do earlier?" Zhao Hao snorted coldly and said dissatisfied.

"It's the subordinates who don't supervise effectively!" Zheng Huchen hurriedly saluted again and admitted his mistake, and when he got up again and looked around, he found that the little girl had quietly retreated, and gently closed the door, secretly sighing that this little girl is really sensible, sensible, and knows how to advance and retreat, no wonder His Majesty likes it.

"Don't talk about it anymore, say something useful!" Zhao Yu tapped the case and said impatiently.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have already found out that the Jinghu Yuan Army's large-scale southward march was presided over by Zhennan Wang Huantuo, Jinghu Province Zuocheng Ali Hague was the marshal of the capital, Jinghu Province Xuanzhi Ou Luchi was the deputy marshal, and the former rebel general Chen Yi was the naval army. According to the analysis of his subordinates, as His Majesty expected, the enemy army wanted to march in two ways, one with Jinghu Province as the main force to attack Qiong, and the other way with the troops of Fuzhou Province and Guangdong Province as the main force to crusade against Zhancheng! Zheng Huchen replied.

"Well, this is corroborated by the results of the prisoner trial." Zhao Yu nodded and said, "But I wondered, no matter how stupid your bureau is, you won't be able to see that there are so many more warships in the coastal ports, but why hasn't there been a report to find an abnormality!" ”

"This ...... Your Majesty, you really can't blame your subordinates for this! Zheng Huchen hesitated for a moment and still felt that he needed to explain to His Majesty that he would carry the pot on his back, but he couldn't let so many spies under his subordinates follow him.

"Hehe, didn't I scold you wrong?" Zhao Hao looked at the cramped Zheng Huchen and smiled.

"The subordinates don't dare!" Zheng Huchen hurriedly got up and saluted.

"I dare to say it, I want to hear what tricks they used!" Zhao Yu pressed his hand to let him sit down.

"After receiving His Majesty's order, his subordinates immediately sent pigeons to various stations on the other side, asking them to search near various ports and waterways according to His Majesty's analysis, especially focusing on some towns and towns with abnormal meat and vegetable consumption!" Zheng Huchen replied, "After a night of searching and the information sent by the spies who infiltrated the enemy's marshal's mansion, after a combined analysis of the two, as Your Majesty thought, the enemy army passed through the strait in small formations and in multiple batches by camouflaging as merchant ships. At this time, some merchant ships would take advantage of the gap between the trade winds to go to various places along the coast to buy grain and local products, and secretly sell their goods to avoid customs duties, so although the spies found that there were more merchant ships than in previous years, they did not attract too much attention. ”

"Well, this reason is also in the past, but I am still curious about how he could hide so many warships that he couldn't have scattered all over the place?" Zhao Hao hummed, which can be regarded as approving this reason.

He knew that smuggling had never been banned for thousands of years from ancient times, and that in order to evade customs duties, some merchant ships from foreign domains often did not stop at designated trading ports, but chose to dock in small ports or fishing ports near the sea, or even smuggled and traded on the open sea. This year, Quanzhou was turned upside down by itself, and the coastal naval army was suppressed by the Qiongzhou naval division and did not dare to go to sea to inspect, so there are no longer a few smugglers who take advantage of this loophole. This year, Qiongzhou has attracted many merchant ships to trade because of its low tariffs and even duty-free, so it is normal for merchant ships to come and go more than in previous years.

"Your Majesty, the enemy army is very cunning, they have restored some of the old ports that were abandoned in the past, the outer part remains the same, but the inside is well fortified, not only built a water wall, but also arranged a large number of stone throwers on land and important places to prevent our army from sneak attacks, and there are also camouflaged fishing boats cruising outside the port for vigilance!" Zheng Huchen pointed to the spread map and replied, "In addition, the enemy army has a large number of enemy ships sailing into the river along the mouth of the river and hiding in the river, and sent troops to block the upstream, and strictly prohibit all ships from passing through. ”

"The ports of Eggzhou Bay, Luzhou Bay, and Xuwen Port have all been swept and destroyed by our army, and have long been in ruins, not only do you not think that the enemy will hide the warships there, but the sentinel ships also go to rarely explore, and this mistake can be forgiven. But the spies of the bureau are no more than others, they are my eyes, nose, and ears, and they should be more sensitive and alert, even if there are subtle changes! "Zhao Hao has read the map, and the selected place is either remote, or there is a sandbar on the periphery, and it is really difficult to find the changes if you don't go deeper. In particular, it is even more difficult to imagine that the warship is hidden in the middle of the river, where it is not only difficult to replenish supplies, but also has to live on the water all day.

"Your Majesty's lesson is that your subordinates will keep it in mind and live up to their expectations!" Zheng Huchen stood up again and saluted.

"I don't want these nonsense, I want the truth and truth!" Zhao Yu raised his hand to let him get up, and asked again with a sigh of relief, "How many warships does the enemy have in front of you now, and what are the troops, have you ever investigated clearly?" ”

"Your Majesty, since I just started, I only found out a rough situation, and the details have to be reported later." Zheng Huchen replied, "The enemy army in front of us is mainly based on the Jinghu Naval Division transferred south and the soldiers stationed in Guangnan, and Ali Hague has requisitioned 20,000 She native troops and 10,000 soldiers from various Tongslang in the name of conquering the city, and the strength should be about 100,000 and about 1,000 warships. ”

"The army stationed in Guangzhou to occupy the city claimed to be 500,000 and 2,000 warships. However, his subordinates have found out that the actual strength should be 60,000 people, 600 large and small warships, and the two armies will be led by Instigation Du and Liu Shen. But there's something strange about it......

"Oh, what the hell are those two doing, let's talk about it!" Zhao Yu asked with interest when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, Ali Hague is secretly mobilizing troops in the dark, but instigating the capital is with great fanfare lest people will not know that they are going to conquer the city, and the warships and sailors are even stationed in Guangzhou Bay, like a demonstration. Even if this has the intention of not being afraid of occupying the city, it also violates the art of war! Zheng Huchen expressed his suspicions.

"It's really abnormal, but what are they going to do......" Zhao Hao touched his chin and said, unable to understand their intentions for a while.

"Your Majesty, the governor should come to see you!" At this time, Wang De came in and said. He saw that Zheng Huchen was already sitting there and knew that there was nothing wrong, smiled and nodded at him slightly.

"Oh, I have something to discuss with Mr., please!" Zhao Hao smiled. There are too many unsolved mysteries in his heart these days, and he needs to consult with someone who understands, and ask for a succession.

The effort is not big, and he should enter the palace strictly, and first greet His Majesty with a few words, and then ask about the war. Zhao Yu talked in detail about the situation, and then talked about the measures taken at present and the results of the discussions with the generals. Zheng Huchen also retold the latest information he had obtained, so that Ying Jieyan could understand the current situation and the problems he was facing, and hoped that the old man could give an answer.

"Your Majesty's concern is that you are worried that Guangzhou will capture the city and attack Qiongzhou all the way, so our dynasty will face great pressure, yes or no?" Ying Jieyan listened and muttered for a while.

"What the gentleman said is true, I am worried that at this time, we will be attacked on both sides, and even if we win, we will lose our troops. It will be very difficult to rebuild the official army with the strength of the people in Qiongzhou, and the restoration of the country will be far away. The old man's words hit his heart, and Zhao Yu nodded.

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, they are still and moving to muddy this pool. So that we can't distinguish their goals and priorities, so that we can fish in troubled waters and win in chaos! "The current situation should be seriously analyzed.

"Muddy the waters?!" Zhao Hao looked at Zheng Huchen, who was also confused, and asked with a frown.

"Yes, only by muddying the water can they achieve the goal of capturing Qiongzhou and successfully conquering the city." Ying Jie said sternly.

"The Governor thinks His Majesty's judgment is correct?" Zheng Huchen was upright.

"Your Majesty's analysis was good at first, but the successive events made Your Majesty doubt his judgment, and when the matter came, he hesitated!" Ying Jieyan took a sip of tea and smiled.

"Sir's words are really true, my brain is now a mess, I have lost my judgment of the situation, I don't know what to do!" Zhao Hao said with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty is not confused, but concerned and confused. Now Qiongzhou is facing the biggest crisis since His Majesty succeeded to the throne, if the dynasty is defeated, it will be forced to evacuate, and the restoration of the country will become an extravagant hope. It is precisely because His Majesty is under tremendous pressure that it is inevitable to suffer from gains and losses when making decisions! Ying Jieyan turned to the little emperor and said.

"Hehe, the gentleman's words made me pause. But why did the gentleman conclude that there was only one way to attack Joan? Zhao Yu still hoped that his judgment could be confirmed from Ying Jieyan, and asked with a smile. However, he understood that what the old man said was very correct, that his psychological quality was not a little worse than that of those old bureaucrats who had been tested for a long time, and that he was far from being able to collapse without changing his face. Now don't say it's Mount Tai, it's that Qiongtai Mountain has collapsed, and I have to jump into the sea.

"Your Majesty, starting from the instigation of the capital, they mobilized the army and recruited soldiers with great fanfare in the name of conquering the city. In Yichen's opinion, their bluff had two purposes: first, to cover the southward transfer of the Jinghu Naval Division, so that the appearance of a large number of warships in Guangzhou would not arouse our suspicion, and then they quietly left the port disguised as merchant ships, which also made people unable to see the flaws; It is precisely because they are so jealous of His Majesty that they have repeatedly declared that they are going to conquer the city, so as not to be intercepted by us. Ying Jie Yan said with a deep sigh.

"Afraid of me?! Why should they be afraid of me? Zhao Yu frowned when he heard this, and said incomprehensibly.

"Your Majesty!" Ying Jieyan sighed and smiled helplessly, "Liu Shen was completely wiped out by His Majesty in Qizhouyang, and fled with serious injuries, not only was he severely reprimanded by Kublai Khan, but he also recovered after being raised at home for more than half a year, can he not be afraid of you; Besides, the instigation has just been tricked by His Majesty, robbed Quanzhou under his nose, his son was also captured, and he still failed to recapture the city after more than a month of siege, and his reputation was ruined in the hands of His Majesty, so it can be said that he hates and fears His Majesty! ”

"Even so, they can choose to pass through the sea off Qiongzhou quietly, and they don't have to fight with us!" Zhao Yu turned his head and asked with some puzzlement.

"Your Majesty asked well." Ying Jieyan nodded and said, "Actually, Your Majesty has already seen through the enemy's plan, and Ali Hague wants to launch an attack on Qiong when the fleet led by the capital passes through. And Liu Shen is very aware of the combat strength of our Qiongzhou naval army, of course he is not willing to make the fake come true, and risk being attacked by us to create opportunities for Ali Hague! ”

"What the gentleman means is that there is a conflict between them, and they will tell us in this way in order to protect themselves. But if they conceal the truth and reveal the falsehood, will we not suffer a great loss? After listening to Zhao Hao's explanation, he understood a little, and he didn't want to be the 'wronged boss', so he took the initiative to expose his intentions, so that he could pass through the sea off Qiongzhou smoothly, but he sold Ali Hague. Even if he got a clear answer from Ying Jieyan, he still didn't dare to be careless, because he really couldn't afford to lose.

"Your Majesty still can't rest assured, then you can only stir up the water more muddy!" At this time, Zheng Huchen interjected.

"Muddy the waters? Well, that's right! Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, now the water is muddy enough, but he still has to stir it again, and after a little pondering, he figured out his intention......
