"Hahahaha." Saifaldin al-Din's words caused a chorus of laughter.

"That's right!" Wolves and dogs look alike, but they're not the same thing at all. ”

Everyone laughed unscrupulously, and at the beginning, the generals only said that the Great Song Dynasty was a big country in the East that stood side by side with the Xia Kingdom, and the Great Water Eater was a lone army, and the generals of the Water Division were prepared to never return. They have no certainty and can only pray to the gods for protection. However, for more than a year, piracy has unexpectedly smooth, greatly breeding the contempt of the generals. In the west, whether in Khorasan or the Sea of Hot Sands, tribal vendettas almost never stopped, so the first gift a boy received must have been a bow and arrow, and the adult men of a tribe must have all been warriors. It is impossible to rob a tribe without encountering fierce resistance. And in the Song Kingdom, there was not a single real warrior in the entire village. The pirates often only shouted in vain, and the people gave up their resistance, not only obediently tied their hands, but also offered gold, silver, silk, and even women.

"The pagans do not deserve such a good land, they should have submitted to the will of God a long time ago!"

"No matter how cunning a fox is, can he defeat a lion?"

"This is the sea, not in a gloomy attic. Yasin, you're thinking too much, right? ”

Yasin had a gloomy face, and he didn't reason with a stupid donkey unless he made himself as stupid as a donkey.

The other Great Food Generals were even more proud when they saw him speechless.

"Poor Yasin," said the other lieutenant, Aboud, laughed, "you won't be frightened by the defeat of Hamandine, will you?" ”

Hamandin led a detachment to raid the Huating of Xiuzhou in the Song Kingdom, but was intercepted by Han Shizhong and the Heng Navy warships, and the two sides fought a big battle, the Hamandin detachment was completely annihilated, and the great water eater was also greatly damaged, and the morale almost fell to the bottom. Dozens of large and small sea ships were destroyed, nearly one-third of the sailors were killed by the Song people, the fleet commander Famaitu saw that the situation was not good, and was ready to return to Baghdad with the looted wealth, at that time, Qiu Darui, a native of the Song Dynasty, sent an envoy to the door, and the two sides negotiated the conditions, Qiu Darui provided the shore situation for the big food fleet, and the big food fleet handed over the loot that was inconvenient to carry to Qiu Darui to sell, and then, the big water eater succeeded one after another in Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places, and the benefits obtained by the generals were far more than before. The destruction of the Hamandine fleet gradually stopped being mentioned.

"Do you remember Hamanddin?" Yasin rolled his eyes and sneered, "It's not as stupid as them." ”

"Don't be too busy laughing at other people's stupidity." Aboud whispered, "Do you think the Commander is the same?" ”

Yasin's face froze: "Your Excellency Commander, have you forgotten?" He shook his head secretly, "No, we all forgot, he won't." "Although the Roma Turks are based on nomadic tribes, they are much more complex than the great barbarian tribes in the hot sand sea, both in terms of state and military structure. Most of the people who can become commanders climb up by stepping on other people's shoulders in intrigue and trickery, and they can't be reckless people. Yassin looked at Metu. The commander sat in a chair, leaned forward, one hand on his lap, and the other hand unconsciously stirred the rice noodles of the Song Kingdom with a knife, as if he did not hear the commotion in the cabin, and seemed to be seriously considering whether to attack Canton.

"Although Han Shizhong's army that defeated Hamandin is powerful, why did we loot so many places along the coast of the Song Kingdom, and they couldn't do anything about it?" Abd sneered, "To put it bluntly, in such a big place as the Song Kingdom, there are not a few armies like Han Shizhong and Zhao Xingde, and they can't hold it at all." The villages and towns of the Song Kingdom are not as good as those of Lu Mei, and a few elite troops are like the Janissaries of Lu Mei State, they can only defend a limited number of places, while we are like cavalry, we can choose where to attack, and come and go freely where their defense is empty. Therefore, whether Guangzhou fights or not, it only depends on whether the Song State has an effective army to defend. Otherwise, even if the devil's treasure is piled up there, the commander will not risk attacking it. ”

"Even if the Song fleet leaves, can't it return?" Yassin wondered, "However, this is probably a trap. ”

"Hey." Aboud rolled his eyes, "I have to think clearly, why should the commander hesitate. ”

Between the mountains of wealth in Guangzhou and the dangerous traps, Famaitu pondered repeatedly, sent orders to the soldiers outside the door, and sent envoys from Song merchants to see them. "Why is it here again?" The generals were secretly puzzled, but it was another Song man who came in, and the messenger handed a secret letter to Aboud, who opened the letter and was sure that there was no problem with Qiu Darui's wax seal, and then handed it to His Excellency the commander.

"What's going on, you can't wait for the messenger from before to go back?"

Fatumai unfolded the letter, his eyes moved slightly, staring at the messenger, and asked sharply, "The Song Navy left without rescuing Zhao Xingde?" ”

"Absolutely." The envoy nodded and said, "Don't dare to deceive the king, the South China Sea Navy Division opened artillery to threaten Guangzhou, and the two sides confronted each other for three days and three nights, and finally, the Guangzhou prefect invited Zhao Xingde himself to the city, in order to save Guangzhou from the battle of swords, Zhao Xingde himself persuaded his subordinates of the Navy Division to withdraw their troops and leave. Zhou He threatened to ask the court for his life and seek justice. Qiu Dongjia sent people to embellish the fleet of sailors, and indeed went all the way north. In order to prevent the imperial army from going south to retaliate, the Guangzhou government has already flown to the counties to train and train. Guangzhou is also stepping up the construction of Hanhai City. Qiu Dongjia asked the villain to bring a message to the adults, if you want to do it, you have to hurry, otherwise, after the completion of the construction of Hanhai City, the south of the city will be encircled, and it will be very troublesome to enter the south city. ”

Fatumai leaned forward: "So, Zhao Xingde is still in Guangzhou?" When the commander questioned the envoy, the other generals also approached, and they all came over and stared at the envoy. These generals were full of beards, some had dark complexions, some had curly hair, their eyes were as big as copper bells, and some of their eyes were green and yellow variegated, as if a group of hungry wolves were surrounding them, making people's hearts beat drums.

"Still, still." The messenger trembled, "It's true. ”

"Okay." Fatumai closed the letter, closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, his eyes did not hesitate, but bloomed with a terrifying cold light, he looked at the messenger and said, "Go back and tell your master, let him no matter what, the movements of Zhao Xingde and the Nanhai Sailors in Guangdong City must be monitored." This is a big deal, we did with him. He paused for a moment, and then said: "When the fleet of the South China Sea Naval Division goes farther north, we will send troops to Guangzhou!" ”

"Your Excellency," Yasin said, ignoring everyone's disdainful looks, "this may be a trap!" ”

"I know." Famaitu nodded, "However, the navy has no commander to command, just like the band has no conductor, if this is really a trap, the Song people can only catch their naval fleet!" He sneered, "In this pagan country, there are too few warriors and too many smart people. ”

............

Luoyang, Zhao's Mansion, there is a row of high-headed horses tied to the tethered horse stake outside the door.

Passers-by pointed, and two Tiger Wing guards stood outside, each smiling wryly. Although in the Xia Kingdom, women riding horses are also idle, but in Luoyang it is a bit shocking. The crown princess Zhang Caiwei usually travels in a carriage according to the habit of Kanto, and today she galloped over to visit Mrs. Zhao, if her identity is known, I am afraid that the discussion in Luoyang City will not stop for several months.

In the embroidery room, Li Ruoxue put the array on the embroidery frame, frowned and looked at the other side, with a faint worry in her eyes.

The crown princess learned the latest news from Guangzhou and immediately hurried over in person. The Nanhai Navy Division confronted the Guangzhou Prefecture Army at sea for three days and three nights, and finally bombarded the city of Guangzhou, and the shells fell into the city. The place of the meeting was arranged in the city tower of Guangzhou, Zhao Xingde persuaded the old troops to leave, and the muzzle of the sailor could only be aimed at the foreign enemy, but not at the people of the Great Song Dynasty, so that Zhou He and others left with anger.

The warships of the South China Sea Navy Division no longer headed south, but turned around and sailed towards Quanzhou. When the Military Intelligence Department learned the news, the whole Xia Kingdom was very shocked, and in addition to putting pressure on the Prime Minister of the Song State and the Li Society, they had nothing to do for the time being. The officers of the United Naval Division were mainly Song people, and even nine percent of the sailors under it were Song people, and Du Fujiao, Liu Zhijian, and others were the most able to command the gunners, and if they wanted to force the entire United Naval Division to carry out the original plan to advance southward, they would not be able to catch it. At the same time, Chen Chong, Liu Yi, and Zhang Shanfu were also very worried about Zhao Xingde's personal safety. Zhang Caiwei informed Li Ruoxue of Zhao Xingde's news as soon as possible, so as not to make her suspenseful about it, and by the way, she also understood some of Li Ruoxue's views.

“...... The general is also too gentlemanly, the last time he was in Bianliang, he was taken advantage of by them, and this time it is like this again! ”

"Even if he is an honest and good man, he should learn to be treacherous after suffering a big loss! However, there are very few honest people like him, in case ......" Zhang Caiwei looked at Li Ruoxue's face, a little unbearable, put her hand on the back of her hand, and patted it gently, "Our envoy is also galloping to Guangzhou in the starry night, I hope God blesses, I only hope that Chen Gongju will not succeed in their plot, and send General Zhao out of the country." She was really worried in her heart, and couldn't help but say again, "These scholars of the Song Kingdom are too upside down, and when they move, they are almost like barbarians, sister, you are from Kanto, you said that Chen Gongju these people, shouldn't they jump off the wall in a hurry?" ”

"Probably not." Li Ruoxue gritted her teeth lightly and said in a low voice, "Yuan Zhi and they are incomprehensible, it shouldn't be ......."

"That's fine." Zhang Caiwei sighed, "I hope so." I really don't understand these scholars in Kanto. ”

Zhang Caiwei was afraid that Li Ruoxue would be worried and hurt, so she accompanied her all day long, and did not leave until the sun set. After bidding farewell to the crown princess, Li Ruoxue returned to the embroidery room alone, sat down and was stunned for a while, the sun came in through the screen window, she picked up the needle and thread, and subconsciously continued the embroidery before Zhang's visit.
