The fleet traveled eastward for two days, and to Shen Tuluo's expectations, everything went surprisingly smoothly, and there was no trace of the Chu people.

The more than 200 people left behind were distributed on more than 10 boats, and the food was cut off, and they could only catch some fish and shrimp from the river every day to eat, so they had to delay a lot of time every day, and there were not many fish and shrimp caught, after all, there were more than 200 mouths, and everyone could only barely fill their stomachs every day.

The Eastern Qi Naval Division was once the national important weapon of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, whether it was equipment or treatment, it was second to none in the Eastern Qi Army, and no one thought that the Eastern Qi Naval Division, which had defeated the East China Sea Division not long ago, would actually have to personally catch fish and shrimp to fill their stomachs.

Under the darkness of the night, the fleet still maintained its formation and sailed eastward.

There was no wind, and all the ships could only be navigated by manpower, and most of the ships on which Shenturo was on were in the bilge, except for a small number of patrols on the front and rear decks, and because of this, the whole ship looked empty and deserted at first glance.

Still unarmoured, Shentura sat in the cabin, staring at a map on the desk.

This is a map of Eastern Qi, and the land of the two states is not large, but Shen Tuluo stared at it for most of the hour.

Although the Chu army was only stationed in Linzi, there was no army that could be used in the original territory of the entire Eastern Qi Dynasty.

In addition to the powerful naval division of the Qi State, the elite soldiers on the road were divided into two parts, one was used to garrison Linzi, and the other was stationed in Maling Mountain, guarding the throat in the northwest of the Qi State to prevent the Northern Han people from killing them.

In addition, Xuzhou also had a lot of soldiers and horses, but after the King of Taishan made a rebellion, the prince Duan Xuan in order to prevent the Xuzhou army from still having the remnants of the King of Taishan, carried out a purge of the Xuzhou soldiers and horses, in addition to replacing many generals, but also greatly reduced the Xuzhou garrison.

After the Chu army went north, the Qi State immediately gathered troops and horses to attack, with the defenders of Maling Mountain as the main force, not only from the capital garrison soldiers and horses, but also from Xuzhou already not many defenders to transfer many horses, the troops left in Xuzhou are only enough to maintain the security of Xuzhou City, only 2,000 people.

Qi is already weak, naturally unable to accumulate a large number of troops, attack the Northern Han Dynasty, but also gathered more than 20,000 horses, the main force of the Qi army from Maling Mountain, Qi defense immediately empty, but also let the Chu army sneak attack succeeded, not only easily took Maling Mountain, but also drove straight in, rushing to attack Linzi City.

The soldiers approached the city, and there were only a few thousand defenders in Linzi City, who were caught off guard, and after the city was broken, the Linzi defenders were almost wiped out.

Shen Tuluo also hoped that Xuzhou could hold on to it, but what happened later made Shen Tuluo angry.

The Chu army captured Linzi City, and was about to divide the troops to capture Xuzhou, who knew that the soldiers and horses had not yet arrived in Xuzhou City, Xuzhou Taishou Situ Mingyue actually sent a letter of surrender, and handed over Xuzhou.

This is something that no one expected.

Situ Mingyue was once the governor of the Prince of Qi, and he was the number one henchman under Duan Shao, Duan Shao trusted this person extremely much, King Taishan's rebellion failed, Duan Shao recommended Situ Mingyue to serve as the Taishou of Xuzhou in order to be able to firmly control Xuzhou in his hands, but he never expected that Situ Mingyue, who he had high hopes for, would surrender without a fight.

Maybe Situ Mingyue saw that the city of Linzi was broken, and the general trend of Qi was gone, so he surrendered to protect himself, with the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou, the Chu army was killed, and it was impossible to stop it.

Shen Tuluo stared at the map of Eastern Qi, but he couldn't find any power that could be used.

The lights flickered, and Shen Tuluo finally stood up, walked to the window, and looked out the window at the pitch black, but he didn't know where Duan Shao was now.

Shen Tuluo's soldiers were divided into two routes, trying to protect these warships, although it was for the sake of the resurrection of the Eastern Qi Naval Division to preserve their strength and use them to restore the country, but he also made the worst plan in his heart.

The Eastern Qi Naval Division suffered heavy losses, and now the Qi State is only left with a lone army that controls Puyang, and the main force of the Northern Han is dealing with the Chu people, and has no time to take care of the Qi army, but no matter who wins in the end between the Northern Han and Southern Chu, Puyang will not be guaranteed next.

Up to now, Shen Tuluo is thinking that once the Qi army is defeated, he can only let the remnants of the Qi State retreat to the East China Sea, even if he becomes a sea bandit floating on the sea, he still has to keep the last hope of recovering the country, and before the restoration of the country, it is nothing more than to claim the king outside the island.

It is precisely for this reason that there must be no further losses on the warship.

At the current speed of sailing, it will take another four or five days to reach the mouth of the sea, and as long as it reaches the sea, there will be no one to do.

The night was dark, everything was quiet, Shen Tuluo stood by the window for a long time, and suddenly heard a light cough behind him, his heart sank, not to mention that no one dared to enter his cabin without his own permission, but what shocked him the most was that he didn't find anyone entering at all.

After all, he had been in battle for a long time, and when it came to the precipitous time, he became more and more calm, put his hands behind his back, and slowly turned around, and saw a person sitting on a chair not far behind him.

Shen Tuluo was stunned at first, but soon his pupils contracted, and his sturdy body began to tremble slightly.

"It turned out to be ...... You guys! Shen Tuluo's eyes showed an unconcealable look of horror: "You ..... Betrayed Moying? ”

When he saw that this cicada secret ninja had trespassed into his cabin, and even sat on a chair in all directions, he instantly understood a lot, and immediately thought of the group of cicada secret ninjas who followed Duan Shao to leave and protect him.

If the Flying Cicada Secret Forbearance had betrayed Mo Ying and even taken refuge with the people of Chu, then Duan Shao was now in danger.

Those Cicada Secret Ninja and the East Palace Guards were all close to Duan Shao's side, once the Flying Cicada Ninja suddenly attacked, Duan Shao couldn't have expected it at all.

Thinking that he even handed over the cicada order to Duan Shao, Duan Shao had the cicada order, and it was impossible for him to be suspicious of the cicada, Shen Tuluo's whole body was cold, and his heart had sunk to the bottom.

The man sitting on the chair chuckled and said: "The Metropolitan Governor is not chaotic in the face of danger, and he really has the style of a general, and he is the first famous general in the world, and he is indeed worthy of his reputation." After speaking, the man raised his arm, and actually took off the black scarf covering his face, Shen Tuluo's eyes were like knives, staring at that face, and after recognizing it, he lost his voice and said: "Yes.... It's you! ”

At the beginning, Qi Ning took the Chu delegation to Eastern Qi to ask for relatives, but Shen Tuluo had also seen Qi Ning, and he immediately recognized it at this time.

Qi Ning smiled: "The Metropolitan Governor still remembers me?" Then I don't have to report myself. ”

Shen Tu Luo looked around, since he knew Qi Ning's identity, he immediately thought about whether his fleet was under siege by the Chu army, there was silence all around, the warship was moving forward at a uniform speed on the Huai River, and there was no other trace in sight, Shen Tu Luo frowned and said: "You.... Alone? ”

"I'm not invited, it's rude, so it's naturally not good to bring too many people around." Qi Ning smiled and said, "Metropolitan Governor, it is quiet in the dead of night and no one else is disturbing, I wonder if the Metropolitan Governor is willing to say a few words to me?" ”

Shen Tuluo remained calm, moved to the chair opposite Qi Ning and sat down, staring into Qi Ning's eyes.

"If it were someone else, I'm afraid I would have called for the soldiers to come in." Qi Ning also stared at Shen Tuluo's eyes: "The Metropolitan Governor is very calm, this is very correct, at this time, calling people in, just let them die in vain, to this step of the field, these people can still follow you, and they are all loyal and righteous people, I don't want to hurt this kind of person." ”

A sneer appeared on Shen Tuluo's lips: "When did the people of the Brocade Qi family become so arrogant? ”

"Arrogance is built on strength." Qi Ning said calmly: "And what I said is not arrogant, the Metropolitan Governor may not believe it, if I want to kill you just now, you are already a corpse at this time without being conscious." ”

Shen Tuluo thought that this person had just entered the cabin silently, and he didn't even notice it, which also showed that this person's martial arts were really amazing, seeing that he was calm and relaxed, and spoke slowly and logically, it really didn't look like a young man was making a lot of nonsense.

"Those fires, of course, are your handiwork?" Shen Tu Luo was very calm at this time: "However, in exchange for two boatloads of grain for the military rations of the Qinhuai Legion, you don't seem to have taken any advantage." ”

"Two boatloads of grain?" Qi Ning said with a smile: "Two boats of grain is indeed not much, there are at least two hundred ships of grain stored in the grain depot in Huize City, one for a hundred, it seems that the Metropolitan Governor has indeed taken a big advantage, but it is a pity..... These two boatloads of grain mean very much to the Governor, that is your last food, the food is burned, and the team under the Governor will come to an end. Leaning back in his chair, he maintained a very comfortable posture: "And how can the Grand Governor be sure that the granaries in Zecheng have been burned?" ”

The corners of Shen Tuluo's eyebrows twitched, and Qi Ning said lightly: "Since the Flying Cicada Secret Forbearance has already voted for another master, how can they really burn grain?" ”

Shen Tuluo shook his head and sighed: "Dongying thieves, I really can't believe it, but since they can betray Moying, they will naturally turn their backs on you one day!" ”

Qi Ning smiled: "The Metropolitan Governor has a grudge against those Japanese people and wants to sow discord and get rid of them with my hand?" However, the Metropolitan Governor's reminder is not wrong, since there is a lesson from the past, I will naturally be careful in the future. ”

Shen Tu Luo was still wondering why the people of Chu would find two grain ships so accurately and burn them, but at this time, he naturally fully understood in his heart that those flying cicada secret ninjas had been protecting Duan Shao for a while now, and they were already good at observing, so they had naturally confirmed which ships the grain was stored on.

Mo Ying had let these secret ninjas follow Duan Shao's side, just to ensure Duan Shao's safety, who knew that raising tigers would be a problem, and in the end, this fleet turned out to be in a desperate situation because of those flying cicada secret ninjas.

Qi Ning naturally didn't continue to explain to Shen Tuluo that the Flying Cicada Secret Ninja had voted for him because he had a new leader, and glanced out the window before saying, "I came to visit the Metropolitan Governor tonight, presumably the Metropolitan Governor has already guessed my intentions." ”

"If you want to kill me, I'm afraid it's not easy!" Shen Tu Luo said coldly.

Qi Ning shook his head and said: "The Metropolitan Governor misunderstood, in fact, there are indeed many people who want to kill you, but I really can't bear to do such a thing unless it is absolutely necessary." Sitting upright, he said: "Not long ago, the East China Sea Division was defeated under the hands of the Dadu Governor, I know that although Xin Ci is not a famous general, but he has been training on the water for many years, at least he can be regarded as a strong general, the East China Sea Division under his hand, there are many warships, and even the troops are by no means under the Dongqi Water Division, the overall strength is not weaker than the Dongqi Water Division, but in the end it was defeated under the hands of the Dadu Governor, the power of the Dadu Governor's famous generals, I really admire it very much. ”

"You can't defeat me in the open, so you resort to such conspiracy?" Shen Tuluo's eyes were quite disdainful.

Qi Ning said with a smile: "In this way, sending Dongying ninjas to infiltrate Aize City with the intention of burning grain, the Metropolitan Governor thinks that it is above board?" That's it, there is no need to dispute this matter, I came here today to ask the Metropolitan Governor to surrender to my Dachu! ”
