“…… The above are all the details of our army's northern expedition to Youzhou! For a long time, the Xiongnu, Karasuma and other alien races will fall into mutual attack with Xianbei, and the pressure on the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty will be greatly reduced, so that our side will no longer have to worry about the future. The general has decided to allocate the entire territory of reserve materials, distribute the huge profits obtained from the Northern Expedition, and start the comprehensive development of Bohai Wenzhi and military equipment! ”

In the big tent of the Chinese army, after listening to the battle report of Gao Feng and the high wind, Nanying made this plan: "Ben will not interfere too much in the political affairs of the Bohai Sea, everything will be managed by Wen He, Zao Yi, Sima Zhi and Ma Jun and other civil ministers, and in terms of military affairs, there is also his own eldest brother, Li Jin, and Gan Ning to train soldiers and horses....... at present, Ben will only care about two things, one is the truth that Gongsun Zhan spent a lot of money to buy war horses, and the other is how to quickly extinguish the coastal Li Shaojie, Guan Cheng and other pirate forces that have been in trouble for many days. These two items are the main topics of this military conference! ”

As soon as these words came out, although the spacious tent was full of heroes and unprecedented, except for Sun Ce, a seconded general, who was deliberately sent out, almost all the civil and military subordinates in Bohai were present to discuss the matter, and several mysterious figures with black veils and masks came not far away, but the atmosphere was silent. All of them fell into deep contemplation.

"General Rongyu!" Sun Binshuo, whose true face was hidden behind the veil, finally spoke: "I'm ashamed, although I am fortunate to have not disgraced my life this time, I still have no clue about the origin of Gongsun Zhan's huge money...... The only thing that has been proven is that this person has successfully assembled a cavalry of 2,000 people, and for a small county commander, there must be another mystery behind this! ”

"Don't blame yourself, you did a good job, and Brother Ling has made a miraculous achievement!" Nan Ying said with relief: "Although the investigation is very important, we should not be in a hurry, so as not to startle the snake." Ben will order Tingfeng's subordinates to assist you in all their efforts, and will definitely find out the truth...... If what Ben General thinks is true, Gongsun Chan will grow into a strong competitor for us in the north in the future! ”

"Because of the mistakes of the day, we can't use the power of Zhang Yan and others in Taihang Mountain to investigate this matter!" He knocked Sun Binshuo quietly, and said solemnly: "This important matter will be handed over to your Sun brothers to be fully responsible." I believe that with Bai Huan's gradually strong military strength and the vast magical powers of Brother Sun's subordinates, he is fully capable of doing this! ”

"Thank you, General!" Sun Binshuo showed gratitude, and said happily: "This matter is wrapped up in us!" ”

"As for Li Shaojie and Guan Cheng, do you have a way to deal with it?" Nanying spoke again.

"Guan Hai, this management will be left to you to deal with!" Among the generals, some people laughed and said: "Perhaps, he is the clan relative of your housekeeper!" ”

Everyone laughed good-naturedly. Guan Ping and Guan Hai's dramatic father-son recognition is tantamount to a shot of coagulant injected into the growing Southern Eagle forces. Although Guan Ping has been away from home for nearly 20 years, his appearance has hardly changed, although Guan Hai is shocked by the extremely small physical difference between the father and son, but he has an unfathomable respect and indescribable gratitude for Nanying, and Guan Ping, who first followed Nanying, is even more determined to Nanying until death.

All the subordinates were relishing this matter, and they all had a sense of awe of providence in their hearts, and then they thought of Nanying's repeated prophecies and miracles, and they were all excited and happy to follow the master, and they only felt that everything in the world would be impossible.

Hearing everyone's jokes, Guan Hai said with an embarrassed face: "I don't know what Guan Cheng is...... But the general! ”

He showed a rare expression: "The crime of losing the ship this time is all caused by the last general. The last general is willing to make a military order, and he must lead the people of the headquarters to be the vanguard, sweep away the thieves, and redeem the past! ”

"Ben will never doubt your determination and ability!" Nan Ying smiled and said: "But the pirates, pirates....... you, a fierce general on land, are only afraid that you will sit on the cold bench this time!" ”

"Cold bench?" Guan Hai was stunned, scratched his head and said, "Do you mean the wooden chair made by the general?" But the last general has always been accustomed to sitting on the ground......"

"Fool!" In the laughter of everyone again, Gan Ning held his head high and said, "Don't you understand?" Going to sea to suppress thieves, that's the errand of Captain Ben Pinghai, does it have a copper coin relationship with you? ”

Looking at Guan Hai's indignant expression, Nan Ying stared at the triumphant Gan Ning, and suddenly smiled: "Well said!" So I would like to ask you, the captain of Pinghai, how do you plan to send troops to suppress the thieves? ”

Gan Ning's smile froze, and suddenly he seemed to be half shorter, and he sneered: "General, this matter is not urgent." The last general has not yet completed the training of the navy......."

"Don't be ashamed!" Nanying reprimanded unceremoniously: "What training? Even with only two building boats gone, do you want to use the broken boats to train the fishermen recruits who have been in the army for months? ”

The generals laughed again, and this time it was Gan Ning's turn to shrink his head and sit back.

"The way of water warfare is to benefit from the boat, without warships, can we ride horses to fight pirates?" Nanying said lightly: "But fortunately... Ben will already have a backhand before! ”

He looked at Gan Ning, whose eyes were bright, and waved his hand: "I'll talk about this later, since you are preparing for a sea battle, of course, you must explore the pirates' strongholds in advance, and you must also grasp the laws of their actions." In this regard, Ben would like to hear what the intelligence services have to say! ”

"Yes General! With regard to the current pirate raid on our army's slipway, in addition to General Guan Hai's improper command, our intelligence department also bears unshirkable responsibility, just because they broke up into pieces and infiltrated in batches, they completely lost their grasp of the situation, and there will be no more such mistakes in the future! Gao Gao'er stood up and said crisply: "However, before Li Shaojie raided the slipway, we never relaxed our surveillance of them. Through covert surveys of coastal fishermen, seven islands where they may be hiding have been identified...... Of course, this still needs to be further verified. At the same time, we can conclude that, in addition to the two building ships that they plundered us, they still have at least ten medium-sized sand ships, with a total number of nearly 2,000 soldiers...... A detailed record of their movements and haunts will be provided later! ”

"When our army first arrived in the Bohai Sea, it was not your fault that the intelligence lagged behind, and it was even more commendable to be brave after knowing shame!" Nanying said with satisfaction: "And you guys listen! Listen up! That's efficiency...... You don't know what efficiency is? Ability! Got it? A group of big men, they are not as good as other girls when they do things, and they will not be ashamed to death if they change their books? ”

"Not only that, General!" Zheng Lian also said lightly: "We also found out that Li Shaojie had a fierce battle with the management department, and Li Shaojie severely injured the management ...... It can be seen from this that these two people do not bite the strings, and they are not worried about it in the short term! ”

"Well done!" Nan Ying praised it, and suddenly frowned: "By the way, what happened to the white eagle on Li Shaojie's side?" Could it be that they also have beast tamers like Yang Kun? ”

Everyone was silent, obviously the matter has been a mystery so far, and no inside story has been revealed.

"Li Shaojie is not simple!" Nan Ying narrowed his eyes: "This person has already shown extraordinary talent when attacking the dock walls in various places, and most of his subordinates seem to be the old department of the Han Army's naval division, as for the giant eagle that suddenly appeared... We can only understand that this is a means of defense specifically against our army's eye in the sky! ”

"Where did this man come from?" He raised his voice: "If we don't know him well, it will be difficult for us to make an effective battle plan based on his personality traits!" ”

The audience was silent again, and suddenly a voice smiled: "Regarding this, I know some unknown news below!" ”

Nan Ying looked at the masked man who was slowly standing up, and his eyes lit up: "How is this possible?" You are in Mount Tai, how can you know about the Bohai Sea? ”

"Actually, it's all a coincidence!" The man smiled softly: "Because, among the subordinates below, there happens to be someone who is Li Shaojie's same clan and clan!" ”

"Same clan and same clan?" Nan Ying was a little surprised: "Hearing you say this, this Li Shaojie is actually from a big family?" ”

"Exactly!" The man nodded and said calmly: "Does the general know about the Bohai Li clan.......

"Then Li Shaojie is actually the son of the Li family and Li Pei's nephew?" Nan Ying was shocked when he heard this, and blurted out: "According to what you said, he was defeated in the family infighting that year, so he left his hometown and gave up the position of the head of the Li family to Li Pei?" So his attack on the Bohai dock wall was not the so-called robbery of the rich and helping the poor, but a long-planned revenge? ”

"As it should be!" The masked man nodded and said, "There is another thing that is very strange, although the Li family had deep roots and great strength, it had not yet reached its prosperity today, why did it go through an internal friction of great vitality, but instead became the fourth largest clan in the entire Bohai Sea in just a few years?" In this regard, even those Li family losers who were forced into exile after infighting are unbelievable! ”

"What?" Nan Ying was shocked, and looked at Sun Binshuo, just to see that he also cast the same surprised gaze.

"Without the secret support of a powerful force, the Li family would not have been able to rise so quickly!" Nan Ying said awe-inspiringly: "Could it be the Heavenly Stem and the Earthly Branch?" ”

"It's hard to say... It must be known that the heavenly and terrestrial branches are all over the world, and it is impossible for anyone to grasp all the secrets except for Gongzi alone! Sun Binshuo's eyes showed an extremely solemn look behind the veil: "However, taking advantage of the internal contradictions of local tyrants to control one side is the consistent method of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branch!" ”

"Send the most effective manpower to the Li family to death!" A hint of murder flashed in Nanying's eyes: "How dare you make waves in the Bohai Sea?" Look for death! ”

"You've done a lot of work!" Nan Ying looked at the masked man, his eyes softened: "For more than a year, the general has been leaving you in Mount Tai and letting you go, I am really ashamed in my heart...... Are there any requirements? ”

"I already said it back then!" The masked man said lightly: "I am willing to establish a stronghold in Mount Tai and wait for the time to contribute to the general in the future....... it turns out that this step is the right step, so please don't care, general, unless you think that our people must have the time to show their banners publicly!" ”

"Here's one more suggestion!" He didn't wait for Nanying to speak, and said: "Since the general suspects that the Nanpi Li family may be a great enemy, then you can make full use of their hatred with Li Shaojie, and maybe you can cut off the two hidden dangers in one fell swoop!" ”

"Well said!" Nan Ying blurted out: "This is killing two birds with one stone, but it's ......"

He frowned again and pondered: "At present, the military action against Li Shaojie is imperative, otherwise the prestige that our army has managed to establish in the Bohai Sea will be seriously frustrated...... At the same time, Ben Jiang is also worried that if it is delayed for a long time, with Li Shaojie's outstanding talent, once he gets a chance to breathe, he will become even stronger! ”

"General!" Gan Ning, who had been afraid to speak, finally found an opportunity to interject, he jumped up and said, "Didn't you say that there is another backhand in terms of warships?" As long as you hand it over to the last general, you will definitely take the enemy's nest and kill them completely! ”

"It's blowing again!" Gao Feng crooked his mouth and teased: "Even if the general gives you a warship, what about the manpower to drive the ship?" Aha, it turns out that General Gan can drive a warship alone! ”

"You!" Gan Ning's face was red and white, but he couldn't refute it.

"It is imperative to fight Li Shaojie!" Nan Ying said categorically: "The general decided to take a two-pronged approach, while comprehensively monitoring the Li family in Nanpi and discovering important information, he also launched a naval army to go to sea to suppress thieves...... And the white giant eagle that has been threatening our army's eye of the sky! ”

"Mr. Mo!" Nanying gestured to Mo Rang in the crowd and smiled, "Please show me the results of the past few months!" ”

"Mr. Mo? Wasn't the slipway he presided over by pirates? The generals were immediately in an uproar, and some people shouted in surprise: "Could it be that there are more than two building ships built?" ”

"Everyone, it's just that this matter has been designated as a top secret in the army by the general!" Mo Rang smiled lightly: "Don't you think it's strange? With such an important military discussion, why is there no figure of General Gao Shun? ”

"Not bad! Don't? "Someone lost his voice. In this military meeting, Jia Xu and Gao Shun unexpectedly did not appear, which has made many generals suspicious. If it is reasonable to say that Jia Xu is in Nanpi City to preside over Bohai government affairs, then Gao Shun, as the only general-level figure under Nanying, did not attend such an important military meeting, which is really incredible...... The only explanation is that he is on a top-secret mission that is difficult to get out of.

"Not bad! General Gao Shun is currently personally leading troops to garrison our army's secret slipway in the lower reaches of the Tunshi River! Mo Rang said proudly: "And the new warship built by the old man and Mo Zhe based on the drawings drawn by the general himself is being tested at that slipway before being launched!" ”

"A new warship? It's not a building ship? There was another sensation in the tent.

"General!" Mo Rang arched his hand to Nanying and said: "The old man is incompetent, and only three ships have been built so far...... However, the hundreds of soldiers who participated in the construction of the warship with 300 craftsmen were ready to fight! ”

"What?" Gan Ning was shocked and said: "What hundreds of soldiers! What's going on? ”

"When the situation is turbulent, war is often on the verge of breaking out, and how time-consuming and laborious is it to train a group of loyal and qualified naval soldiers? It's a pity that there are nearly 10,000 people in my Eagle's Nest Army, and there are very few people who are familiar with water....... "Nanying's eyes flashed with a deep and wise light: "The general has no choice but to secretly transfer tens of thousands of good swimmers among the residents of the Eagle's Nest before going to the Bohai Sea, temporarily form a second batch of backup troops, follow behind my expeditionary army, and go directly to the old Mr. Hemo of Tunshi to listen to it!" ”

"The general is indeed a last resort!" Mo Rang said heartily: "These people are all selected from the Eagle's Nest, not only do they have no problem with loyalty, but they are also familiar with water, which saves a lot of practice... Crucially, they were involved in the construction of this new type of warship, and they were able to handle the performance and handling of the warship! ”

The generals in the tent were all dumbfounded, could it be that the general's foresight was too much?

"Convinced! The last general is really convinced! Gan Ning was stunned for a long time before he said gloomily: "If you expect the end of the general to train a sailor worthy of a war in the Bohai Sea, I'm afraid that I will miss a big event!" ”

"The general's secret guarding is also too good!" He smiled bitterly, "You actually selected people directly from the residents of the Eagle's Nest? No wonder the last general and others are at a loss for this! ”

"This is the last time Ben will take care of your Pinghai Lieutenant, I believe that with these hundreds of sailors and your more than 100 old brothers who are proficient in water warfare, they should be enough to do it!" Nan Ying spoke indifferently, but there was a trace of undoubted awe-inspiring in his words: "If it is the first water battle, it will lose the sharpness of our army, and it will definitely break your calf!" ”

"What do you mean?" Gan Ning was surprised and delighted: "These hundreds of soldiers and three warships were actually prepared by the general for the last general in advance...... Is this battle all under the command of the last general? ”

"Otherwise, what is the use of this general sealing you, the commander of Pinghai? Of course, this general will also appoint Mo Zhe and Su Fei as your lieutenants, Su Fei needless to say, Mo Zhe is also a genius who is proficient in water warfare, you must work together to live up to the trust! Nanying Huo Ran got up: "I'll only give you seven days to prepare...... Immediately set sail for the enemy to fight! ”

"Thank you for your trust, General!" Gan Ning trembled with excitement, and he buried his head deeply: "Please rest assured, the general is determined here: ride the wind and waves and raise my eagle flag!" ”
