() Just when Qian was in a panic, Li Jiajun's fleet had already sailed into Hangzhou Bay.

Li Zhongyi sat upright on the bow of the boat, and Zhang Sanzheng, who was standing with a saber, placed a small coffee table in front of him, on which were placed a few plates of dim sum, melon seeds and a pot of freshly brewed green tea.

Professional personnel do professional things, which has always been the basic principle of Li Zhongyi. Therefore, since he got on the ship, Li Zhongyi handed over the command of the sailor to Zhao Laoyi, the commander of the sailor.

After more than ten days of sailing, the entire fleet sailed all the way into Hangzhou Bay unhindered, and Li Zhongyi couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the fleet strength of the Li Jiajun Naval Division far exceeded that of the Southern Tang Naval Division of the same period, if it encountered a typhoon or tsunami, it would obviously have some losses.

Now, the entire fleet sailed into Hangzhou Bay without panic, which means that even if there is a natural disaster, the loss of the fleet will not be too great.

Li Zhongyi took a sip of green tea and asked Zhang Sanzheng with a smile: "Have you ever seen the high tide in Hangzhou Bay?" ”

Zhang Sanzheng touched his head, smiled innocently, and replied embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, the subordinate is a landlubber, he has never been in the water, and he has never seen the so-called high tide. ”

Li Zhongyi looked at Zhang Sanzheng, smiled slightly, and said, "You are also an old man who followed me out of the mountains from Shu Kingdom, and you can't swim?" ”

Zhang Sanzheng smiled stupidly and said: "Don't hide it from the emperor, the subordinates' families have been hunters in the mountains for generations, and they are very good at digging traps and fighting fierce beasts." ”

Li Zhongyi was silent for a while, although it is said that there is a lot of water in Shu, it is also mountainous, and the Orion family relies on the mountains to eat the mountains, and it doesn't matter whether they can swim or not.

"I heard you killed a tiger with your bare hands?" Li Zhongyi asked Zhang Sanzheng in confidence.

Regarding the matter of hunting, Zhang Sanzheng was naturally very familiar, and he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, it is said that the subordinates have killed tigers with their bare hands, and it is all a lie. The situation at that time was actually that an underage tiger fell into the trap of catching wolves, and let his subordinates pick up a big bargain. ”

After Li Zhongyi heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, Zhang San was in front of him, and he had always said one thing and never said vain words.

It is precisely because Zhang Sanzheng has always maintained a good habit of telling the truth that Li Zhongyi's trust in him is also increasing day by day.

This person, the relationship with people is actually mutual. Sincerity for sincerity, hypocrisy for hypocrisy, since ancient times!

"What do you want to do most after the reunification of the country?" Li Zhongyi was idle, so he simply asked Zhang Sanzheng about his plans for the future.

"Your Majesty, the ministers said bluntly, the ministers want to marry Xia He as their wife, and I hope that the emperor will give in." The opportunity that Zhang Sanzheng had been waiting for finally came, he hurriedly knelt down in front of Li Zhongyi, and said what was in his heart, "Don't hide it from the emperor, the subordinates have long liked Sister Xia He." ”

Li Zhongyi turned his head to look at Xia He, whose words had changed color, and then at Zhang Sanzheng, who was kneeling in front of him, his heart moved violently, and he asked Xia He: "Are you willing to live with him?" ”

Han Xianglan, who was waiting on the side, her heart was like a mirror, Xia He must have fallen in love with Zhang Sanzheng a long time ago, otherwise, with Xia He's straightforward and fast-talking temperament, I am afraid that she would have refuted it a long time ago, right?

"Little maid...... Little maid...... But it's up to the emperor to decide. Xia He squatted down, lowered his head, and his voice was like a mosquito.

Xia He hated Zhang Sanzheng to death in her heart, but she also understood that if she denied Zhang Sanzheng at this time, there would be no possibility of marrying into the Zhang family in the future.

Li Zhongyi understood as soon as he heard it, Xia He had the shadow of Zhang Sanzheng in his heart, and he was afraid that Lang had already been in love with each other, and the concubine had intentions.

"You told me what you like most about Xia He?" Li Zhongyi squinted at Zhang Sanzheng and deliberately picked thorns in the bones.

Zhang San replied in a formal manner: "Your Majesty, the subordinates like Sister Xia He's tolerance and generosity the most, and she never quarrels with others. ”

Li Zhongyi thought about it carefully, Xia He has served him for so many years, and he has indeed always been indisputable with the world, and he is polite in everything.

"You kid, you're a caring person." Li Zhongyi shook his head and said, "Since you have already seen the right eye, then I will become you." After this battle, how about I personally officiate your marriage? ”

"The ministers thank the emperor for his grace." Zhang Sanzheng knows very well who Li Zhongyi is, and he doesn't say so much thanks, but just keeps it firmly in his heart, that is.

"Little maid, thank the emperor for his grace." Xia He learned Zhang Sanzheng's words,

Li Zhongyi matched a pair of lovers around him, and he was naturally very happy. Zhang Sanzheng and Gao Qiang respectively chose the two maidservants beside him, which shows that they are not only loyal, but also smart.

Marrying the maidservant girl next to Li Zhongyi seems to be marrying a cheap relative, but in fact, the benefits for the future are simply too many to count.

Which of the servant girls who can stay by Li Zhongyi's side and serve is not his own person who has been confirmed to be loyal to him after countless screenings?

In addition, Zhang Sanzheng and Gao Qiang, who can stand by Li Zhongyi's side with a sword, are also absolutely credible people!

If you have married your own people, that is, you will be close to each other, whether it is for their husband and wife, or for Li Zhongyi, it is a great good thing.

Qian was sitting on pins and needles in the palace, his eyelids jumped violently, he thought about it, and finally decided to find Xu Zaisi, the commander of the thirteen capitals of the forbidden army.

Wu Yueguo's army was established on the basis of the so-called eight counties of Hangzhou, Huang Chao attacked Hangzhou in August of the fifth year of Qianfu (878), and Keyue Prefecture in September, when the so-called "two Zhejiang heroes" organized against the Huang Chao Rebel Army at this time, and after the rebel army went south, they then formed a formal eight capitals.

Dong Chang's Lin'an power developed the fastest, and Dong Chang himself became the de facto leader of the eight capitals, so he appointed Qian as the commander of the eight capitals.

Qian finally developed to the thirteen capitals on the basis of the eight capitals, the so-called, there are Zixi, Baocheng, Longtong, Sanquan, and three towns outside the eight capitals, which are the thirteen capitals.

Xu Zaisi, as the most important military general of Wu Yueguo, as soon as he heard Qian's worries, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister has long heard that Li Zhongyi in the north has long had the ambition of a wolf son to unify the **, and if the thief army comes from the north, it will go to sea." I ask Your Majesty to immediately issue an edict and order the water and land divisions to be deployed in case of accidents. ”

Qian asked Xu Zaisi with some hesitation: "Do you need to transfer troops from all over the country to help Xifu?" ”

Xu Zaisi sighed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, we can't hesitate any longer, we must ask for help from the Southern Tang Dynasty while letting the forbidden troops from all over the country come back for help." ”

Xu Zaisi is a veteran minister of the Three Dynasties and a veteran general who has unified the army for many years, and his opinions have a deep impact on Qian.

So, Qian also made up his mind, and while issuing an edict that the garrisons from all over the country should be concentrated in Xifu, he also sent Cui Zhen, who was also involved in the affairs of the Prime Minister's Office, to ask for help from the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The news that Li Jiajun's huge naval division had entered Hangzhou Bay could not be concealed at all, and it was immediately transmitted back to Hangzhou by the patrolling officers and soldiers.

After Qian learned the news, he was secretly afraid, and he was deeply glad, but fortunately, his eyelids jumped that day, and he avoided a big disaster.

Although Wu Yueguo's sailors were not as powerful as those in the Southern Tang Dynasty, they also had more than 20 thousand-stone ships and hundreds of hundred-stone boats.

It is also a coincidence that Wu Yueguo's sailor is also surnamed Lin, named Chunshen, and is a veteran of water warfare.

Lin Chunshen had long known that the sailors of the Qiang Han Dynasty were extremely powerful, and they could be described as big ships.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Lin Chunshen did not plan to fight with Li Zhongyi. His calculation was unusually clear, since there were many boats with hundreds of stones, he simply asked people to fill the boats with firewood, grass and oil, and prepared to adopt a strategy of fire attack, striving to burn Li Zhongyi's fleet in one fell swoop.

If it is a battle at sea, the leeway for the Li Jiajun naval division is very large, and it is difficult to burn it out.

Therefore, Lin Chunshen and Xu Zaisi discussed a poisonous plan, that is, first lure Li Jiajun's sailors into the depths of Hangzhou Bay as much as possible, so as to compress the space they vacate as much as possible, and then release more than 100 small boats close to the fire.

Lin Chunshen and Xu Zaisi's abacus were loud, who would have thought that the Li family's army and sailors were all commanding Zhao Laoqi and he was not a vegetarian.

The sailors of the strong Han Dynasty won with more ships, large ships and more artillery, if they went too deep into Hangzhou Bay, once the Wu Yue people adopted the strategy of fire attack, the trouble would be big.

Therefore, shortly after the Li Jiajun sailed into Hangzhou Bay, Li Zhongyi immediately ordered the infantry to land from both flanks of Hangzhou Bay, and then marched together to threaten Hangzhou, the western capital.

By the time the news of the landing of the forbidden army of the Qiang Han Dynasty reached Xifu, the soldiers of Li Zhongyi's forward throat battalion had already ventured to Liujiagang, thirty miles outside Hangzhou.

After setting up the camp that night, Li Zhongyi had dinner with the people of the General Staff Department, and everyone was talking about the extremely weak defense system of Wu Yueguo.

"Not to mention other places, just Binzhou, the mouth of the Yellow River in our dynasty, more than 100 miles away from the Yellow Water Ocean, there are boats of our army's naval divisions, disguised as fishing boats."

"Hehe, Wu Yueqian's family is really too careless, Hangzhou Bay, which was originally a moat, has such a weak defensive force, I really didn't expect it."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we must not be careless, you must know the truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated."

"This also needs your Lao Liu's reminder, the emperor's purpose in setting up the General Staff Department is to help the generals of the unified army check and fill in the omissions......"

Li Zhongyi grabbed two pancakes in his right hand and a large bowl of mutton soup in his left hand, eating with relish.

While he was eating, his ears were not idle, and the chatter of everyone was very real.

The senators were really right, the purpose of the General Staff Department established by Li Zhongyi was originally to assist the generals of the army, liberate themselves from the cumbersome miscellaneous piles, and concentrate on thinking about the operational matters of marching and fighting.

In this era, except for the Li Jiajun, other armies rely on the officers with the troops, not to mention how deep.

If the commander makes a big mistake, the whole army will be wiped out.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten!

Since the establishment of the General Staff Department, the advanced nature of Li Jiajun's military system is reflected in the fact that mistakes that should not be made are absolutely impossible to make.
