Chapter 418: The Verge

Now in the quest to take power, in fact, a large part of the Chu people who fled here from the Central Plains, and even Nanyue was also Chu at the beginning, the reason why Daning did not directly conquer is not that Daning's martial arts are not as good as Chu, but that Daning feels troublesome, and keeps Nanyue and other small countries to send offerings every year, no need to support the people, and the income is also good.

Until the Daning Naval Division was first established, it had the strength of the overseas war, and it was of little significance whether or not to stay in this place of South Vietnam.

The Chu people who fled to Qiuli established the country, the so-called Qiuli royal family is also Chu people in the final analysis, when the Chu defeated general Zhang Zun led the first batch of 7,000 defeated soldiers to this place in Nanyue, and took refuge in the hands of a vassal king, the vassal king's surname was Ruan, and later Zhang Zun felt that these local natives did not even have words, the music and rhythm were not complete, and the etiquette was even more shameful, it was completely a group of uncivilized barbarians, so why not take such a wild place for yourself?

At that time, Zhang Zun had already worshiped the king of the vassal as his father-in-law, and also changed his surname to Ruan, and later fought in order to be more easily recognized by the local natives, so the surname Ruan has not been changed back.

To this day, in fact, the Qiuli people still retain many customs from the Chu period, which were brought over by Zhang Zun's group.

For example, sealing the altar and burying wine.

This custom still exists in the southern part of Daning.

If a child is born in the family, if it is a daughter, seal a few jars of wine and bury it deep in the ground, and on the day of the daughter's marriage, take it out and drink it with all relatives and friends, and call it daughter red.

Qiu Liren also have this habit, but they are more obsessed with the altar, Chu people generally use it to raise wine, and the use of the altar is more, Qiu Liren is willing to cremate, thinking that fire can purify people's souls, and after cremation, the altar is also sealed and buried in the ground.

So at this moment, Dewey Ming and Wang Kuohai looked at the jars sealed behind the harbor and hesitated.

"Can't you open it?"

"Let's go, if it's wine, it should be old wine, and it makes people drool just thinking about it."

"If you're lucky, you'll open wine, and if you're unlucky, you'll open it and ask for an ancestor."

"I'll do it."

Wang Kuohai squatted down, slapped his big hand, and the sealed soil was smashed with a snap, and the aroma of wine overflowed.

"Good luck."

Wang Kuohai grinned: "You can't ask Liren to put the wine jar and the ancestor jar together, these may be wine." ”

He slapped three or five jars in a row, all of them were old wine, and several people suddenly blossomed, this wine was full when the altar was sealed, and now there is a slap and so wide of a cut of emptiness, indicating that this wine has been sealed for at least more than 30 years.

"It's a sad story."

Dewey covered his face: "Thirty or forty years of aging, the girl is not married." ”

"Not all the sealed wine is daughter red."

Wang Kuohai glared at him: "Think about the benefits, what if you forget about it if you seal the wine." ”

"That's ...... sadder"

The two of them scooped up a sip of wine and tasted it, the taste was really indescribable, decades of old wine, and the aftertaste was endless.

Shen Leng walked over from a distance, and smelled the aroma of wine from a long distance: "Whose ancestor have you dug out?" ”

Dewey's name: "......"

Wang Kuohai: "I suddenly don't want to drink." ”

Shen sneered, looked at the wine and said, "Qiu Liren still uses the Chu people's way of making wine, which is very ancient. ”

"Is the old method of brewing better?"

"Of course not."

Shen Leng said: "In this way, it may be sold a little more expensive." ”

He also scooped a sip and tasted it: "When the Chu people went north to the grassland, the young general of the Chu State spilled wine in the river water, which was originally a fine wine given by the Chu Emperor, and he didn't want to drink it alone, so he thought of this method, and the soldiers drank the river water, which was equivalent to drinking with him. ”

Wang Kuohai was so frightened that he hugged the wine jar and stepped back: "There is only the sea here, general, if you spill wine on the sea?" ”

Shen Leng sighed: "I really have to send you to the elementary school to study from the beginning...... It's all sprinkled in the seawater, we haven't drunk it yet, it's all been drunk by the fish, you and I am stupid? ”

Wang Kuohai thought for a while: "That's right." ”

John Dewey: "Oh yes...... The general will tease you, can you drink seawater? ”

Shen Leng laughed: "Clean up, see if you can share a bowl of wine with each person, it's time to go to Ruan Qingfeng to make a break, now there is only one Ruan Qingfeng who can fight in the northern seas of Qiuli, twenty or thirty thousand people, hundreds of boats, and then level Ruan Qingfeng, this vast sea area will be allowed by the people of Daning to sail in boats, and the soldiers of Daning can also kill the capital of Qiuli in one breath from the northern frontier of Qiuli." ”

Wang Kuohai and Dewey immediately became energetic: "The general has figured out how to fight?" ”

"Hmm."

Shen Leng said: "But there is a saying in front, what I tell you to do, you will do it, no disputes, no disobedience." ”

"General, you say."

"You all stay."

Shen Leng looked at these two right-hand men: "If each Fubo wants to be smoothly controlled, there must be no less than thirty people, and if you count the rotation, you must have fifty people...... Ten Fubo, I will take five hundred people to sea, except for these five hundred, the remaining thousand and five hundred or so will remain in the port of the ship, and I will leave all the centipede clippers to you. ”

Wang Kuohai immediately became anxious: "General, what are you going to do here?" ”

"I naturally have a plan, and I said that you are not allowed to argue."

"General Wang stays, and the two of us accompany the general to the sea."

Dewey said: "Although I don't know how the general arranges the preparations, but the general doesn't bring a single capable person around him, I don't agree, it's enough for General Wang to take people to stay, and the two of us won't stay if we say anything." ”

"And me!"

Yang Qibao trotted over from a distance: "I won't stay, I'll go wherever the general goes." ”

"I left you behind, you think I let you sleep at home?"

Shen Leng put the three of them together and explained a few words, and the three of them were all surprised after hearing it, they really didn't expect Shen Leng's plan to be so bold, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that only by doing so can the odds of winning be guaranteed.

"I don't care, the two of them stay, and I'll follow the general."

"I don't care, the two of them stay."

"I ...... too"

"Shut up."

Shen Leng snorted: "Don't respect the general's order? ”

The three of them didn't know what to say, but they weren't convinced.

"Is the tea master good-looking?"

Shen Leng asked.

"It's pretty."

"Of course it's pretty."

Shen sneered: "Isn't that enough, you are willing to send the tea master to death by himself?" Stay here for me, three or five days at the fastest, seven or eight days at the slow, and I'll be back. ”

At the same time, on the sea.

Ruan Qingfeng returned to Qiuli with his fleet, and met a remnant on the way, about a dozen ships were stopped by him, and after careful inquiry, he learned that it was actually that Shen Leng, who directly broke through Ruan Ye's ship harbor with only 2,000 troops, and almost completely destroyed Ruan Ye's sailors, which was more than 200 ships, full of 20,000 troops, and was beaten by people with one-tenth of the strength of one-twentieth of the ship.

"With Shen Leng's character, he will definitely not stop."

Ruan Qingfeng stood at the bow of the ship: "Go to the port of the ship!" ”

The ship adjusted its course, and the direction of the harbor accelerated.

Two days later, Shen Leng took ten Fubo warships and Ruan Qingfeng's sailors to meet on the sea, Shen Leng stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the dense masts that appeared on the opposite side and couldn't help laughing, it was really just luck to meet on this vast sea?

Naturally not, all of this has been rehearsed in Shen Leng's mind, one time at a time, Ruan Qingfeng felt that he knew Shen Leng, but where could he have thought that the most thing Shen Leng had done during this time was to study Ruan Qingfeng's character, style, and habits.

"Let's go."

Shen Leng ordered.

Ten Fubo began to turn their bows and hasten their evacuation, followed by hundreds of warships.

Qiu Li's adjutant general was worried, and he couldn't help but persuade when he watched Ningren's warship escape in the distance: "General, will there be a trap?" ”

"What do you think will be the trap?"

Ruan Qingfeng glanced at his subordinates: "He only has a total of eleven boats, and now there are ten boats in front of me, do you mean, Shen Leng ambushed a boat and used ten boats as bait, and when we rushed over, the one boat that was ambushed came out halfway and wiped out all of us?" ”

Everyone laughed.

The news will not be false, Shen Leng only has eleven boats, and now there are ten boats, could it be that Shen Leng will really use one boat as an ambush?

"Shen Leng is chasing our people."

Ruan Qingfeng pointed to the front with a scimitar: "I said, Shen Leng won't stop there, he's too greedy...... Although I didn't have much head-to-head confrontation with him, I still knew this person, he was young and vigorous, and he felt that he was an invincible god of war, and the more such young people were, the more greedy they were, greedy for military merit. ”

Ruan Qingfeng said: "But ...... You can't afford to be on guard. ”

He looked at his subordinates on the left: "Li Yannian, you take fifty boats to speed up and chase after you, and the other ships follow my flagship, if there is any change, it is easy to deal with it." ”

Li Yannian, who was holding back his strength to take revenge, immediately agreed, left the flagship and returned to his warship, and took fifty ships out to set sail and speed up, seeing that Shen Leng was retreating in the direction of Qiuli instead of Daning's side, their worries were even lighter.

"Accelerate!"

Li Yannian roared: "Let me catch up, the opportunity that I finally caught must not be easily missed, catch up, chop up those Ning people and feed the fish!" ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The seekers who finally caught a chance to take revenge were almost crazy, and there were only ten boats and two thousand people on the other side, what else could they do?

"They're already offshore and they're going to land."

"They're going to the boat port."

Ruan Qingfeng put down his clairvoyance: "Shen Leng has too few warships, he knows that he can't win at sea, and his only chance is to return to land...... Very smart, but it was also a helpless move, he had nowhere to go. ”

The warship roared forward, and hundreds of boats chased the ten boats in front of them, as if hundreds of huge octopuses were chasing ten giant sharks.

As Ruan Qingfeng guessed, although the ship port is dilapidated, there is a favorable location, and Shen Leng's people can only fight if they hold it, and the ten ships sailed directly into the ship port and docked the warship, and even gave up the warship, and the Ningren soldiers boarded the wooden wall of the water village one after another.

"Kill it."

Ruan Qingfeng raised his clairvoyance and looked around, and there was no other ship in sight in the vast sea.

He pointed his hand forward: "On our land, those Ning people will be broken into thousands of pieces." ”

One by one, the huge ships approached the harbor, Shen Leng boarded the wooden wall, and glanced back at the repaired stone-throwing trucks: "Life and death, success or failure, just wait for this battle, win, let's go back to Pingyue Road to eat meat." ”

The cold light flickered on the sword, and the battle was about to break out.
