Chapter 173: Brother Says Liu
Twenty miles away from Huolong Island, Fenglingdu, the five thousand sailors sent by the Great Yan Sailor were stationed here, which was Liu Jian's department.
Fenglingdu is not large, only more than ten miles in radius, and it is filled with all kinds of warships at this time. A four-story ship is the flagship of the main general Liu Jian, which can carry 300 sergeants, and six three-story ships are the main warships of the battle, each of which can carry 200 sergeants. There are also dozens of Mengchong and Xiandeng ships, which can carry forty or fifty sergeants respectively, responsible for attacking and pursuing. In addition, there are nearly 200 yachts and red horse boats, which can only carry about 20 people, responsible for patrols or small-scale battles. With such strength, it's no wonder that Zhao Jin wants to get rid of Liu Jian.
Originally, Xinzhou Zhao Jin and Huolong Island and Changxing Island, the Bohai descendants, did not interfere with the river water, but recently the Zhao family is seeking military power in Chicheng and other border areas, so that the Zhao family can have greater strength and enhance the right to speak in the Great Yan Dynasty, and then compete with the forces of Wenman and Li Chengan. And if you want military power, you naturally have to have a certain amount of merit, so Zhao Jin will set his sights on Huolong Island and Changxing Island. His plan was to pacify Huolong Island first, and then attack Changxing Island, as long as he succeeded, after the two merits, the Zhao family would definitely get what they wanted.
Liu Jian's naval battalion was neatly arranged and brightly lit, and dozens of yachts were constantly shuttling and patrolling back and forth on the water. The sailors on other large and small ships were also vigilant against abnormalities, although the river was cold, but no one was cheating and slippery, and it could be seen that Liu Jian, the commander of the sailors, was very talented in managing the army.
On the flagship, Liu Jian couldn't help frowning when he looked at the two little carps that had just been cooked in the bowl. The carp is only the size of a palm, cooked only in white water, and there is no side dish for the white flowers, and in the rising heat, a fishy smell constantly stimulates people's sense of smell.
This is a very ordinary middle-aged man, with dark skin and a gray beard that makes him look much older than his actual age. If it weren't for the majesty that had been cultivated for decades, it would be hard to believe that he was a major general in the Great Yan Water Division.
"Fang Bo, now the brothers don't even have fish to eat?" Liu Jian asked Gu Fangbo next to him, he knew in his heart that there were only these two small fish in his bowl, and the other brothers would definitely not have anything to eat, so he asked such a question.
Gu Fangbo, who is Gu Feng's brother, is now serving as Liu Jian's deputy general, and is very popular with Liu Jian. He looks a little similar to Gu Feng, and he is both handsome and chic. It's just that because he runs on the water all the year round, it's much darker, and unlike the weak temperament on Gu Feng's body, he has the solemn aura of a bone soldier.
"Yes, in the past two months, 5,000 people have to catch the fish in the Yellow River, and the brothers are afraid that they will not be able to support it. When I came, a group of junior officers asked me to beg the general to think of a way, otherwise, I am afraid that the bullets will not be able to suppress my brothers. Hearing Liu Jian ask, Gu Fangbo said with a sad face.
What he said is good, because he is not treated by Zhao Jin, Liu Jian sent troops to Zhao Jin this time, and there were still three or four percent of the military food and weapons in the past, but since Liu Jian was in Huolong Island last time
After defeating and capturing more than a thousand people, Zhao Jin justifiably cut off all his supplies. The current camp of Liu Jianshui has been out of food for more than half a month, and it all depends on catching some fish and shrimp from the Yellow River to satisfy hunger.
"Hey!" Hearing this, Liu Jian slammed the table hard.
"General, there is a word that is not unpleasant." As soon as Gu Fangbo gritted his teeth, he was about to say what he thought in his heart.
"Okay, I know what you're going to say. Fang Bo, I don't blame you for being young, but have you thought about it, so many generals of the previous dynasty Dajian Water Division died, but I was the only one who survived, do you know why? Haha, the world says that I am Liu Jian slippery, who knows how hard I have endured for more than ten years. Liu Jian interrupted Gu Fangbo's words, his face full of desolation and self-deprecation.
Fang Bo understood that the general was for the thousands of old brothers. But General, now that the knife is really on the neck, this time the Zhao family is afraid that even our brothers are not going to let go. Otherwise, why are there tens of thousands of soldiers downstream, it is to block our retreat, General! Gu Fangbo shouted loudly, with a sad face.
Of course, Liu Jian knew what Zhao Jin was planning to do, and asked him to attack Huolong Island, but he didn't give him any supplies, and arranged heavy troops downstream to completely block his retreat. This is a bent desire to drain his strength. If he succeeds, the credit is Zhao Jin's, and if he fails, it is his Liu Jian's fault. When the time comes, whether to demote or cut off the head, it will all have to be carried by Liu Jian.
"Okay, you go out, I'll think about the food again!" Liu Jian waved his hand impatiently.
"General, let's fight. If we suddenly turn back now, then Zhao Jin won't have time to react at all, and it is not impossible for me to save Mrs., Son, and Miss! Gu Fangbo touched his head to the ground and pleaded.
Hearing Gu Fangbo mention his family, Liu Jian's face froze, now his family is still detained by Zhao Jin in Xinzhou City, once he dares to make any moves, I am afraid that his family will not be able to save their lives. This is also the reason why he didn't dare to make any moves, but even if he endured it again, how long would they live?
"Gu Fangbo, did you do something without me?" Liu Jian stared at Gu Fangbo coldly, and the power on his body naturally pressed towards him, and the cold killing intent made Gu Fangbo's whole body tremble slightly.
"Hehe, General, is there anything else I need to do? You see what's going on with the brothers outside, right? Within three days, there will be a mutiny. Besides, the generals and generals who accompanied the army this time are all the general's henchmen, and Zhao Jin wants to get rid of them first and then quickly, doesn't the general think about us? Gu Fangbo smiled bitterly, not admitting or denying it.
"I know better than you what the situation is in the camp, and I have something to say to Lao Tzu!" Liu Jian slapped the table hard, and the bowl of small fish on the table was shaken over, and the fish soup flowed all over the table.
Gu Fangbo trembled violently, and cold sweat slowly dripped down his forehead on the ground, "Then please ask the general to see someone first." ”
"Caomin Gufeng has seen General Liu!" Gu Feng was brought in by Gu Fangbo
The big tent gave Liu Jian a scholarly salute without humility or arrogance.
"Who are you?" Seeing Gu Feng's extraordinary bearing, Liu Jian was a little puzzled, why hadn't he heard of this person.
"I'm just a nobody, and now I'm eating on Huolong Island, thanks to the Dragon King, I am the military advisor of Huolong Island." Gu Feng said frankly.
"What? Are you the military advisor of Fire Dragon Island? Good thief, where are you in my sailor camp? Is it that you can come and go as you want? Hearing Gu Feng's self-report, Liu Jian was furious, "And you Gu Fangbo, when did you hook up with the bandits on Fire Dragon Island?" Do you know what sin it is? How daring! ”
"The last will be convicted!" Seeing Liu Jian furious, Gu Fangbo hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Gu Feng still stood so indifferently, as if he didn't see Liu Jian getting angry, "Cousin, why do you have to do this, we are saving General Liu." ”
"Cousin? You call him cousin? Yes, Gu Feng, Gu Fangbo, you are all surnamed Gu, and it is not surprising that you are cousins. In this way, the last time Zhao Qian was defeated and thousands of brothers were captured, it was all a good thing you did? Gu Fangbo, you should be killed! "Thinking about this, Liu Jian is not just angry, Gu Fangbo is a traitor on Huolong Island, which has violated his bottom line, in the army, this is a capital crime.
Gu Fangbo kowtowed again and again, without making any excuses.
"That's right, it was my cousin who gave me the news, and it was he who told me about your marching plan, which is why Zhao Qian's defeat occurred. It's just that my cousin has never done anything to betray you. Have you ever thought that if Zhao Qian successfully exterminated our Fire Dragon Island, your life would be even more sad? ”
"Shut up! I'm the dignified general of the Great Yanshui Division, and it's not your turn to teach a lesson, a little water bandit! Liu Jian angrily reprimanded.
Gu Feng sneered, "There is also a dignified general of the Great Yanshui Division, and his brothers are not as good as us little water bandits, you still have the face to say." ”
"Bold! You're looking for death! Liu Jian was annoyed and angry, and pulled out his waist knife to slash Gu Feng.
"The general is angry, and listen to the general's cousin to tell you. There is a lot of inside information here, and I beg the general to be aware of it, otherwise the general and thousands of brothers outside will be doomed. Gu Fangbo hurriedly hugged Liu Jian's thigh and begged bitterly.
"Fuck off, you eat inside and out!" Liu Jian was not only not persuaded by Gu Fangbo, but became even more angry and kicked Gu Fangbo away.
This kick was extremely heavy, and Gu Fangbo spurted out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".
"It's all dying, and I don't know it, it's really pitiful!" Seeing that his cousin was kicked by Liu Jian and vomited blood, Gu Feng's cheeks twitched in distress, and his words were even sharper.
"Shut up! Don't hurry up and make it clear to the general. Seeing that Gu Feng was still angering Liu Jian, Gu Fangbo was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to wipe the blood in his mouth, and reminded Gu Feng loudly.
