On September 16, the day of the high tide, the river water was pushed into the Songjiang River by the tide, and the water level of Taihu Lake also rose. The waves hit the West Island with a loud sound, splashing layers of mist, and the boats leaning on the east side of the island also swayed violently, and the small island seemed to be shaking with it.

"Official, shrimp wonton!" After Zhao Yu got up and took a turn, he returned to the camp tent in Xidao, and after washing, Wang De sent a bowl of wonton.

"Alas, it's really nice here, eat well, sleep soundly, I don't want to leave!" Zhao Yu scooped up a wonton with a spoon and blew the hot air, and after biting it open, a fresh and fragrant smell immediately poured into his mouth, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"The official family, the West Lake in Hangzhou is more beautiful, it has another charm than the Taihu Lake, and the wine shops and restaurants are all around, I am afraid that the official family will be reluctant to leave!" Wang De put another one in the plate for the little emperor and said with a smile.

"Eh, you don't understand, Hangzhou has been my court for more than a hundred years, and the traces of artificial carving are too heavy, and there is no interest in the mountains. Besides, all the needs in the city are sent to Beijing from other cities, and after you get them layer by layer, this bowl of shrimp wonton is only afraid that it will be worth a lot of money. My little food money is only enough for soup! Zhao Yu pouted and said.

"The official family is joking, how dare the small one embezzle the food money of the official family, but Hangzhou is not as good as the capital city of Qiongzhou, and it is true that the expenses in the city are large!" Wang Deyan said with a smile.

"Look at how good this lake is, let's build a few rooms on this island, live in this beauty every day, hungry for fish, shrimp, and crabs in the lake, and it is also a pleasure to sail on the lake, which is better than the palace with some pavilions and pavilions in the high walls!" Zhao Hao ate another wonton and sighed with a hot breath.

"Official, after the restoration of the country, there will be a lot of waste to be revived, and you must not have the heart of seclusion in the countryside!" Wang De listened and hurriedly persuaded.

"It's boring, you are now like those rotten Confucians, they can raise them with beautiful wives and concubines, and they have nothing to do to travel around the mountains and rivers to make a few sour articles and express some feelings, criticize the current affairs, and even accuse Sang of scolding Huai. Lao Tzu can't be busy and wander around, and look at the great rivers and mountains of my dynasty, you people just can't see how much better I live! Zhao Yu nodded Wang De with a spoon, scooped up a wonton and swallowed it into his stomach.

"What the official family said is that the little ones don't like them to advise in front of the officials all the time, and they have to find fault with everything, although they are respectful on the face, in fact, they want to lock the official family in their cage!" Wang De knew that the little emperor was obviously scolding himself, but he was actually complaining, so he quickly stated his position and stood firmly on His Majesty's side.

"It's like words. Listening to their nagging every day, it is better to stay in the army and be happy, and it is also more enjoyable to kill, set fires, drink alcohol, and eat meat! Zhao Yu was very satisfied when he heard this, and he was also worried that this thing had 'betrayed' him and become the 'accomplice' of those ministers, so he wanted to beat it up to make him understand who the boss was, so that he could retain the last free space and privacy, he took a sip of soup and said.

"Your Majesty, Dong Tong has something important to say!" At this time, Chen Dun hurriedly entered the account and saluted.

"Well, let him in!" Zhao Yu put down the spoon when he heard it, but he didn't feel very willing, picked up the bowl and pulled all the remaining wontons into his mouth, chewed it quickly and swallowed it a few times.

"Oh, there must be a kitchen left, Wang De will also serve a bowl of dunzi!" Zhao Yu wiped his mouth after eating in two bites, looked up and saw that Chen Dun was not moving, and he was standing straight in front of him, but his throat was stirring, and he kept swallowing saliva, he immediately understood, and immediately ordered Wang Dedao.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" When Chen Dun heard this, he immediately saluted and went out to call someone, and Wang De hurriedly followed. Zhao Hao shook his head and smiled, secretly thinking that this child has potential and goals, and can continue to cultivate.

"Your Majesty, the sentinel ship returns, Jiankang's Longwan Navy carries the Zhending Army into the canal south in Dantu, and the Cao soldiers of the Wanhu Mansion who transport grain by sea also have a tendency to go south when they assemble in Jiangyin!" Dong Yicheng said after entering the account.

"Well, it seems that our trick of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger has worked, and after seizing Chongming, they can't hold their breath." Zhao Yu listened and tapped the plate with a spoon. After visiting the lake a few days ago, he asked Zhao Mengjin and others to go back to attack Chongming first for a tentative attack, if the enemy moved, they could find out the enemy's intentions, but he stayed in Dong Yicheng's army in the name of distraction, and did not return to Shengsi Island or Shaoxing.

"Your Majesty has no last resort, and with a little trick, Zhang Xingzu's old horseman can't sit still!" Dong Yicheng said.

"Don't be busy patting me first, I'm going to scold me later!" Zhao Hao smiled.

"You must know that the Zhending army is tens of thousands of households, and there are no less than 10,000 soldiers in its department, and it is estimated that there are no less than 9,000 people left behind in a team of 1,000 people; The Longwan Navy also has 8,000 troops and more than 400 large and small warships, all of which are elite soldiers selected from various armies who are good at manipulating boats and waters, and have been trained for nearly a year now, and their combat power should not be underestimated; Although one thousand households were annihilated by you to transport grain by seaway, there are still 4,000 households, and the number of soldiers in the headquarters should be about 5,000, and there are no less than 1,000 ships, and if you add sailors, boat divisions, and so on, there are no less than 20,000 people. You have to fight more than 40,000 enemies with the strength of one army, and the pressure is not small! ”

"Your Majesty, they are also called the Sailors, that is, a group of infantry troops on the boat, as long as they enter the lake, they are guaranteed to come and go, and they are all buried in the lake!" Dong Yicheng listened but didn't care.

"The enemy's Zhending army is an infantry army, and they are all northerners, and they are good at hand-to-hand combat, but they can't stand on the ship, and their subordinates think that their main combat goal is to recapture Suzhou first, and then enter the lake to grab food; According to the reconnaissance of the Longwan naval army, the warships equipped with them did not improve much, but the stone bullets were changed to flowering shells and gold juice cannons filled with gunpowder, which were inferior to our ballistas and rockets in firepower and range, and they couldn't reach us, and those soldiers were group ballast stones; It is true that the Cao soldiers are proficient in handling ships, but their main task is to suppress the people along the coast, protect the boats, and defend against the pirates, with only swords, guns and bows and crossbows in their hands, and their combat effectiveness is not strong! ”

"That makes sense, but our goal is to completely annihilate the enemy's army, and I also know that it is easy to win, but it is not easy to completely annihilate, you only have more than 300 large and small warships, and if they are defeated, they will immediately scatter and flee. And this is a lake area that is not as good as the sea, with shores on all sides, and many rivers inside and outside. If they come ashore, you want to surround them, but you can't surround them; If you want to escape, how can you defend against every river! Zhao Yu said again.

"Now that the enemy has just been dispatched, if his two armies will enter Taihu Lake from the mouth of the Songjiang River along the river at Wuxihu, their subordinates are ready to lure them into the East Lake area south of the West Island, this lake area is narrow, and the west bank is mostly mountainous, and the steep shore of the lake is not conducive to their landing, as long as the Songjiang estuary is sealed, it will be difficult for the enemy to escape. Our army, on the other hand, can rely on the east and west islands and use the waterways between the islands to enter and exit to encircle and annihilate the enemy! Dong Yicheng thought for a while.

"Well, that's good. The enemy must have taken advantage of the rising tide to enter the lake, and this water area is narrow, although they have many boats, it is difficult to deploy, which can be conducive to the use of our army's long-range firepower. The key to success or failure depends on Zheng's control, if he can successfully lure all the enemies into Taihu Lake, they will not escape destruction! Zhao Yu nodded.

"Exactly, the enemy enters the lake to the north is a shoal, as soon as the tide falls, they will run aground, they can only go south, even if they find an ambush, they can't moor, otherwise the ship will collide with them, and chaos before fighting!" Dong Yicheng said.

"It is reported that the enemy's Longwan naval army is equipped with vehicles and boats, this kind of boat is suitable for driving on inland rivers, with fast speed and strong maneuverability, we must pay attention to it, and do not let it get close to the side, otherwise we will suffer!" Zhao Yu didn't say much about Dong Yicheng's plan, but he remembered this matter again, and there were very few soldiers on his warship, and he would definitely suffer a loss in close combat, so he told him.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, your subordinates know that this chariot and ship are more flexible than our sea ships in the rivers and lakes, and they can advance and retreat freely, and they are not inferior to our army's dragon ships. However, as soon as one of its oars is destroyed, it will be paralyzed on the water, unable to move! Dong Yicheng obviously thought of this and said with confidence.

"There is one more thing to pay attention to, those grains must be protected, this is the guarantee of our whole army this winter, if the enemy army is burned, even if the battle is won, it is meaningless." Zhao Yu felt too deeply about the lack of grain, and he first asked Dong Yicheng to attack Liujiagang mostly for this batch of grain, and with the grain himself, he could support the needs of the entire forbidden army in the dry season, and insist on harvesting the grain in the spring of the next year.

"My subordinates understand, and I will transfer all the grain ships here tonight!" Dong Yicheng clicked on the map.

"Okay, it's nice here!" Zhao Yu looked at the location he pointed out and said, he remembered that it was a large inlet on the west shore of Taihu Lake, and there was a small island covered with reeds in front of it, which just sheltered the inlet, and it was difficult to find the ships moored in the inlet from a distance.

"If Your Majesty's subordinates keep this batch of food, please also ask Your Majesty to promise one thing!" Seeing that His Majesty was very satisfied with his arrangement, Dong Yicheng hesitated.

"Oh, I have saved the food, as long as your request is not excessive, if you want officials or money, I will do it!" Zhao Yu was a little surprised, but his face was still as usual. He knew that it was not a bad thing for people to have desires, but it was dangerous to become greedy.

"Your Majesty, the last time my subordinates fought against the enemy's sea grain road Chongming Qianhu, although their combat effectiveness was poor, but those soldiers and sailors were all good at handling boats and boats as Your Majesty said, and these people are all local people in Liangzhejiang, and their hearts are towards the Great Song Dynasty, and they can be used by us with a little training. Therefore, his subordinates want to include the captured soldiers and sailors in the army, and I hope that His Majesty can give priority to his subordinates! Dong Yicheng said with a smile.

"Oh, I agreed to this matter, and I made the decision for you, all the ones captured last time were left in your army, and the Cao army that was captured in this battle was won, you choose half of them first, and then add the rest to the other armies, as for how much you can keep, it depends on your ability." Zhao Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately agreed.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what arrangements are made today, I have to do it!" Dong Yicheng was overjoyed when he saw that His Majesty agreed, and asked again.

"I don't need you to accompany me, just do your things well. Wuxi is only a day's water journey here, you have to keep a close watch to prevent changes on the way, and send a message to Zhao Mengjin and Liu Zhu to let them seize the fighter plane and capture Jiankang! Zhao Yu said.

"Yes, but Your Majesty must not leave the island, otherwise Your Majesty's dragon body will have a feint, and your subordinates will die without forgiveness!" After Dong Yicheng saluted, he said with a bitter face and a pleading look. In fact, he was both happy and worried about His Majesty's stay in Taihu Lake, and he was happy that he was outnumbered in this battle, and with His Majesty in charge, he felt a lot more at ease; The worry is that His Majesty has always been restless, and there is no one here to restrain him, he is really worried that he will run to the front without paying attention to His Majesty, so he can only persuade him.

"Okay, I'll go fishing on the East Island today, and I'll never go far, but you can't send someone to watch me!" Zhao Yu slapped the table and said, it can be regarded as a gentleman's agreement with him......

Although the little emperor agreed to his request, Dong Yicheng dared to rest assured, and watched His Majesty take the dragon boat to Dongdao, and also saw him holding a fishing rod accompanied by Chen Dun to fish on the bridge. But he knew that the bridge was connected to the village on the other side, and that the people in the village would also go to the island, and of course they could go to the other side. Therefore, he specially sent a boat to go back and forth in the vicinity in the name of patrol to prevent His Majesty from sneaking ashore.

This time, however, His Majesty did keep his promise, and he fished under the corridor on the bridge, and for lunch he did not trouble himself at all. The only thing that made him uneasy was that His Majesty was dressed in a navy uniform, and Chen Dun was not very old, and people who didn't know the inside story thought that they were just two ordinary soldiers.

The problem is that His Majesty has always been kind, and he can chat with ordinary people for a long time, Dong Yicheng is worried that if His Majesty is recognized by the spies sent by the enemy, it will be troublesome to surprise the killer. What is even more excessive is that His Majesty not only chatted with other people, but also had 'lunch' with them, but he did not dare to interfere, one was worried about revealing His Majesty's identity, and the other was worried that others would know that he was chatting with the current emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and if he fell into the river again when he was excited, the matter would not be able to end.

Fortunately, nothing Dong Yicheng was worried about happened, and His Majesty returned to the West Island safely before dark and distributed the fish he caught to everyone. After it was too dark, the grain boat took advantage of the moonlight to sail out of the water village and moved to the bay of the West Lake. In the second half of the night, Zheng Yong led the escort army to follow the army, and told His Majesty that Zhao Mengjin and Liu Zhu were ready, once the Yuan army entered Taihu Lake, they would divide their troops to seize Jiangyin, cut off the enemy's retreat, and lead the army to go up the river to take Jiankang.

And the left minister Lu Hidefu also came to the news, they have captured Mingzhou, received the Huaiyong Army and the Pinghai Army to Shaoxing Mansion, temporarily handed over the defense to them, and now has assembled two infantry brigades, artillery brigades and cavalry brigades and five divisions of the escort army to prepare to attack Hangzhou and recover the surrounding counties......
